A Secretive Network Is Fighting Indigenous Rights in Australia and Canada, Expert Says: It’s all part of a global playbook from the U.S.-based Atlas Network to protect the profits of fossil fuel and mining companies, argues a Sydney researcher. On October 14, Australians will vote “yes” or “no” in a referendum that would amend the country’s constitution to create a permanent First Nations advisory body in the country’s Parliament.

Backroom Deals: Trump Looks to use Shady Tactics to Lockup Nomination Before Primaries: Former President Donald Trump wants backroom deals to secure the GOP nomination in a manner reminiscent of the 19th and early 20th centuries when parties chose their nominees through such methods. Mr. Trump and his political team have spent months working behind the scenes to build alliances and contingency plans with key party officials, seeking to twist the primary and delegate rules in their favor. It amounts to a fail-safe in case Mr. DeSantis, or anyone else, scores a surprise victory in an early state. And it comes as Mr. Trump faces an extraordinary set of legal challenges, including four criminal indictments, that inject an unusual degree of uncertainty into a race Mr. Trump leads widely in national polling.

Netanyahu Must Go Now, Not After the Gaza War: There is a clear and present danger that all his wartime decisions against Hamas will be polluted by personal, legal and petty political considerations. He has been a poor prime minister from Lebanon to China.

The Six Biggest Lies Netanyahu Told America, and the World; Quote: “He demonstrated that he is still a prolific liar misleading the public very deliberately about various policy issues. One thing stood out throughout the entire interview. Netanyahu is still the same unashamed master of spin and manipulator that he has always been. When Netanyahu’s political career comes to an end, the international community will largely remember him for his blusterous speeches at the UN General Assembly targeting Iran.

A ‘Wonderful’ New Fatwa Permits Killing Israelis Wherever They May Be – In Palestine, Israel, or Abroad: The comments come just as Israel is gearing up to respond to an all-out war assault on its innocent civilians last weekend, in which more than 1,000 were murdered in depraved attacks that included the beheading of babies. Israeli officials have now promised that not one Hamas militant will remain after its response concludes.

The Arab embargo 50 years ago weaponized oil to inflict economic trauma, sound familiar? Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine reprised the risks of energy ‘weaponization.’ Europe has been hurt by overdependence on Russian natural gas and has raced to shift its energy sources. The Israel-Hamas war that began on Oct. 8, 2023, has not yet ignited retaliatory responses from Arab governments, and the initial impact on oil has been minimal, but geopolitical effects from such a large event could still roil markets. Energy security itself is also being altered.

37.9 million Americans are living in poverty, according to the U.S. Census. But the problem could be far worse: Grace Bonilla, president of United Way of New York City, said the official poverty measure doesn’t take very obvious indicators into consideration. To start, it looks at pretax income instead of actual take-home pay. It also doesn’t consider factors such as family composition or the cost of child care. “It has not kept up with the way life has changed for most Americans,” said Bonilla.

US Blocks Iran From Accessing $6 Billion Fund: Joe Biden initially approved sending $6 billion to the Islamic Republic of Iran as part of a hostage exchange to free Americans.

A presidential race in which two stubborn men, born in the 1940s, refuse to retire and are itching for a rematch, and in which, for the one man to win, the other probably must be on the ballot.

Tensions Rise in the Rio Grande Basin as Mexico Lags in Water Deliveries to the U.S: Under a 1944 treaty, Mexico must share water from the Rio Conchos and other tributaries of the Rio Grande with the United States in five-year cycles. With the clock ticking toward an inexorable treaty deadline, the U.S. and Mexico are under pressure to find a solution without setting off a local rebellion. And climate change and drought, not to mention provocations from Texas politicians, are complicating the challenge.
