Greta Thunberg Claims She's Been 'Kidnapped' By Israeli Forces

Greta Thunberg Claims She's Been 'Kidnapped' By Israeli Forces

Authored by https://headlineusa.com/author/ksilva

,

Climate alarmist turned humanitarian activist https://headlineusa.com/tag/greta-thunberg

said Sunday that she’s been “kidnapped” after she and the rest of the crew aboard the The Madleen, a sailboat that’s trying to break Israel’s starvation blockade on Gaza, was intercepted and boarded by Israeli forces.

‘My name is Greta Thunberg and I am from Sweden. If you see this video, we have been intercepted and kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational forces, or forces that support Israel,” she said. “I urge all my friends, family and colleagues to put pressure on the Swedish government to release me as soon as possible. ”

According tohttps://news.antiwar.com/2025/06/08/israeli-defense-minister-orders-military-to-stop-gaza-aid-boat/

, including Thunberg.

“I have instructed the IDF to act to ensure that the hate flotilla ‘Madleen’ does not reach the shores of Gaza—and to take all necessary measures to achieve this,” Katz wrote on X, as reported by DeCamp.

“A senior Israeli official https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/senior-israeli-official-if-greta-thunbergs-boat-reaches-gaza-wave-of-flotillas-will-follow/

that if the boat doesn’t turn around, it would be boarded by Israeli Navy commandos and brought to the port of Ashdod,” DeCamp reported.

Israel supporters in the U.S. have suggested Israel should sink the Madleen, including sports gambling mogul Dave Portnoy and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC).

I doubt Sweden would want her back!

Thanks for the info , Seth. I’ll check them both out and compare. I don’t keep a lot of funds in my Swan account. I dollar cost average up to a set amount and then sweep into a hardware wallet for safe keeping.

If you have not yet applied for a Fold Credit card you should.

https://foldapp.com/credit-card?r=4hlyN

Why not earn Bitcoin when you have to spend fiat. Just pay your credit card bill online as soon as you spend money and it is literally free bitcoin for anything you can use a credit card on. But there is a wait list. So act now!

I use quicken to track my finances. I set up a Fold account about two years ago, but stopped using it because Fold didn’t allow me to download transactions into Quicken. I just checked out their web site and it appears that hasn’t changed.

Oh well. I’ll keep stacking sats with Swan

I’ve been a Swan Bitcoin customer for several years now and have been considering opening a business account with them as well.

I know of no trust issues with them. What’s the deal?

Ecomentalists have a new “villain” in their sights, and he could be sitting in your house right now.

?itok=z8Trx08R

They’ve come after your children, your cars, and your holidays, now they want to lecture you about how awful for the environment your pet dog is.

Yes, really. The animals that provide humans with the most unwavering love and loyalty there is. Can’t be having that now, can we.

Dogs have “extensive and multifarious” environmental impacts, disturbing wildlife, polluting waterways and contributing to carbon emissions, new research has found. https://t.co/J2JXsybuSN

— Mother Jones (@MotherJones) https://twitter.com/MotherJones/status/1911934495973929292?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

Turgid leftist outlet MotherJones writes “Dogs have “extensive and multifarious” environmental impacts, disturbing wildlife, polluting waterways and contributing to carbon emissions, new research has found.”

That’s already clutching at straws. Dogs only ‘disturb wildlife’ and ‘pollute waterways’ if their owners let them.

And dogs release carbon emissions. Wow, massive revelation. So does practically everything alive.

You want everything to die?

It continues, “An Australian review of existing studies has argued that ‘the environmental impact of owned dogs is far greater, more insidious, and more concerning than is generally recognised.”

Ugh, what? Still no actual details.

“The review, published in the journal Pacific Conservation Biology, highlighted the impacts of the world’s ‘commonest large carnivore’ in killing and disturbing native wildlife, particularly shore birds,” it further states.

Again, that only happens if irresponsible owners allow it.

It continues, “In Australia, attacks by unrestrained dogs on little penguins in Tasmania may contribute to colony collapse, modelling suggests, while a study of animals taken to the Australia Zoo wildlife hospital found that mortality was highest after dog attacks.”

It also suggests that bobcats and deer are “less active” when dogs are around.

Ok, done with this.

You’re not getting our dogs because some penguins in Tasmania got attacked once and bobcats don’t get on with them.

Go and sponge up all life’s joys on your own somewhere else.

Telling people that owning dogs is bad for the environment is a new low for authoritarian management of trying to be "holier than thou" and dictate what one should or should not do in their personal lives. Then liberals wonder why more people are turning conservative.

I would argue that cats kill much more, albeit smaller wildlife. Well, I call it vermin. Except for the birds. I don’t like it when my cats kill birds.

European Officials Say 'Nyet' To Nobel For Trump If He Secures Ukraine Peace

European Officials Say 'Nyet' To Nobel For Trump If He Secures Ukraine Peace

At the Munich Security Conference this weekend Polish Foreign Minister and Anne Applebaum's husband - Radosław Sikorski - rejected Trump's peace plan for Ukraine, mocking what he said is an unfair deal, before it has even gotten off the ground.

Sikorski declared during a panel discuss, "I would tell him [Trump] that we Europeans control the Nobel Peace Prize. If you want to earn it, the peace has to be fair."

BREAKING: Polish globalist Sikorski now threatens they will deny Trump the Nobel Peace Prize even if he ends the Ukraine War https://t.co/9b90KRMTNz

— Jack Poso 🇺🇸 (@JackPosobiec) https://twitter.com/JackPosobiec/status/1891501758486085841?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

The top Polish diplomat was commenting on President Trump's last Wednesday 90-minute phone call with Putin, and said: "I think the call was a mistake."

Apparently world leaders are not supposed to conduct diplomacy to stop the killing in Ukraine, which is of course how peace after a three-year long war could be achieved. "I argued against an early summit," Sikorski continued, in an apparent reference to efforts to get Trump and Putin face-to-face in a peace summit. "It vindicates Putin and lowers morale in Ukraine."

"Therefore, the credibility of the United States depends on how this war ends – not just the Trump administration, but the United States."

Sikorski then began talking Western 'grand strategy' (so much for Ukrainians suffering needlessly as the war is furthered?), saying next that "I would tell him that if you allow Putin to vassalise Ukraine, that will send a message to China that you can recover what you regard as a renegade province, and that would have direct consequences for US grand strategy, for the US system of alliances, and possibly for the future of Taiwan."

He then drew laughter and applause by the audience by mentioning the Nobel Peace Prize. "I would tell him that we Europeans control the Nobel Peace Prize [so] if you want to earn it the peace has to be fair," he asserted.

European officials are seething over what they see as Trump bypassing Zelensky in talks. After all, last Wednesday Trump held his Putin call first, after which a shorter call with the Ukrainian leader was held. Zelensky has reiterated that Ukraine won't acknowledge any dealmaking without its direct input and agreement.

As for the Nobel, the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to President Barack Obama which the committee said was for his "extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples." He had not actually done anything, but was merely the first Black American president.

Later in his presidency, Obama led the US-NATO intervention in Libya, which was widely understood to be at its heart a regime change operation, leading to the brutal murder of the longtime Libyan leader in a ditch outside of Sirte. Obama had also khttps://inthesetimes.com/article/yemen-war-saudi-arabia-uae-trump-obama-famine-power-khanna-sanders

of assisting the Saudis and UAE in a ruthless bombing campaign over Yemen using heavy American weaponry. It led to a half-decade long war in Yemen, targeting the Houthis, a conflict which set up the current Red Sea conflict.

Obama had also at one point ordered the drone assassination of 16-year old US citizen from Colorado, Abdulrahman Al-Awlaki (and without any due process whatsoever) - son of Al Qaeda linked cleric Anwar al Awlaki...

This is how Obama's Press Secretary Robert Gibbs responded to questioning on the murder of the 16 year old US citizen Abdulrahman al-Awlaki in a drone strike ordered by Obama: "I 'd suggest that you should have had a far more responsible father". https://t.co/Hp408VX08P

We don't actually know what concrete 'peace' Obama ever brought to the world, and yet already the Europeans are saying nyet to even the possibility of a Nobel for Trump should he oversee the end a tragic war which has killed hundreds of thousand, and has threatened the security of Europe.

Trump should have gotten the Nobel Peace Prize for the Abraham Accords. He was denied credit for that major accomplishment as well.

US Ramps Up Military Support For Kenyan Operations In Haiti

US Ramps Up Military Support For Kenyan Operations In Haiti

https://libertarianinstitute.org/news/us-to-ramp-up-military-support-for-kenyan-operations-in-haiti/

The White House is upping its support for the Kenyan operations in Haiti by sending an additional two dozen armored vehicles. The US is backing Nairobi’s armed force in Port-au-Prince.

On Friday, US Southern Command https://www.southcom.mil/News/PressReleases/Article/3883631/department-of-defense-to-deliver-additional-mraps-turrets-for-the-mss-mission-i/

on boosting military aid for the Kenyan forces in Haiti. "As part of the US government’s ongoing support to Haitian-led security efforts in the country, 24 additional MRAPS will be delivered and transferred to Kenyan personnel deployed to Haiti as part of the Multinational Security Support (MSS) mission."

?itok=fVdPoCqQ

It continues, "The MSS will add the vehicles to its existing fleet of 10 US-provided MRAPS."

Earlier this year, Nairobi sent hundreds of armed troops to the Caribbean nation on what it dubs a "policing" operation. The US orchestrated the deployment of Kenyan soldiers to Haiti.

Washington believed the troops could aid Haitian police in restoring power in Port-au-Prince to a government set up by the White House. Following the assassination of President Jovenal Moise in 2021, Haiti dissented into chaos under US-backed governments.

The White House got authorization to finance, train, and arm a Kenyan-led military force to take control of Haiti from paramilitary groups and gangs. Responsible Statecraft previously detailed when the troops touched down https://responsiblestatecraft.org/china-philippines/

with Kenya signed in September 2023. It was then that Kenya committed to deploying 1,000 troops to Port-au-Prince. The mission is also expected to include about 1,500 soldiers and police officers from other countries, bringing the total size of the prospective intervention force to 2,500.

However, the troops are said to be in a policing role and are not operating as UN Peacekeepers. Peacekeepers have a dark legacy in Haiti including causing a cholera outbreak and rampant sexual abuse.
