Doctors overwhelmingly tell professional body to end links because of genocide and infiltration of pro-Israel spyware firm into NHS
In a series of motions to their ‘Annual Reps Meeting’ conference in Liverpool, doctors have voted overwhelmingly to instruct their trade union, the British Medical Association (BMA), to break off relations with the Israel Medical Association (IMA), and to seek its suspension from the World Medical Association (WMA).

The five motions passed, by large majorities, were as follows:

• oppose the government’s adoption of the data platform created and run by Palantir, a genocide-supporting US firm whose bosses have boasted of killing people, throughout the NHS
• affirm that criticism of Israel is not antisemitic
• oppose the victimisation of medical students and healthcare workers who have advocated for Palestine
• condemn the destruction of healthcare services and the killing of healthcare workers in Gaza, demand the immediate release of detained HCWs in Gaza; and urge the UK government to support the ICC and ICJ in holding accountable those guilty of war crimes, including Israeli doctors who have participated in or supported torture of Palestinians in Israeli jails.
• suspend engagement with the Israeli Medical Association until it affirms medical neutrality and condemns attacks on healthcare in Gaza.

The BMA said the numerous motions on Palestine reflected “the grave concerns that doctors in the UK have about the Gaza conflict”.

The conference is the BMA’s sovereign authority and mandates the organisation’s policy.

In November 2023, a large number of Israeli doctors signed a letter calling for the destruction of the al Shifa hospital and other hospitals in Gaza, supporting Israel’s lie that the hospitals were ‘Hamas command centres’. The Israeli group Doctors for Human Rights condemned the letter; the IMA took no action against the genocidal doctors.

Arab-Jewish writer Alon Mizrahi said of the BMA motions that:

This could be the biggest win for the BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) movement in 25 years. This is really huge.

Saint Lucia: A Haven for Financial Secrecy?

As a popular tourist destination in the Caribbean, Saint Lucia is known for its stunning beaches, lush landscapes, and vibrant culture. However, beyond its picturesque façade, the island nation has also gained notoriety for its financial secrecy laws, making it an attractive destination for those seeking to protect their assets.

What is financial secrecy?
Financial secrecy refers to the ability of individuals or organizations to conceal their financial transactions, assets, and identities from public scrutiny. In Saint Lucia, this is achieved through a combination of laws and regulations that protect the confidentiality of financial information.
How does Saint Lucia maintain financial secrecy?
Saint Lucia's financial secrecy laws are designed to attract international business and investment. The island offers a range of financial services, including:
Confidential banking: Saint Lucian banks are required to maintain strict confidentiality regarding customer information.
International Business Companies (IBCs): IBCs can be established in Saint Lucia, allowing foreign investors to conduct business without revealing their identities.
Trusts: Saint Lucia's trust laws enable assets to be held in trust, providing an additional layer of protection and anonymity.
Benefits and concerns
While financial secrecy can provide legitimate benefits, such as protecting sensitive business information or safeguarding assets from litigation, it also raises concerns about:
Money laundering: Financial secrecy can be exploited to conceal illicit funds, undermining global efforts to combat financial crime.
Tax evasion: Confidential financial arrangements can facilitate tax evasion, depriving governments of revenue.
Conclusion
Saint Lucia's financial secrecy laws have both benefits and drawbacks. While they can attract investment and protect legitimate assets, they also pose risks of illicit activity. As with any financial haven, it's essential to understand the laws and regulations in place and to use these services responsibly.

How Nigerian Elites Use Saint Lucia
1. Offshore Companies in 3 Steps:
• A senator, ex-governor, or oil baron routes money via Dubai or London to a trust in Saint Lucia.
• That trust then owns a company registered in Nevis or Malta, which holds foreign properties or stocks.
• All of this is shielded by nominee directors—names that exist only on paper.
2. Real Estate & Yachts:
• Nigerian stolen wealth buys Vancouver mansions, London penthouses, or Monaco yachts—but the ownership chain begins in Castries, the sleepy capital of Saint Lucia.
3. Saint Lucian Passport Game:
• With just $100K donation, a corrupt politician becomes a Lucian citizen.
• Now he can travel visa-free to over 140 countries, including Europe, with a clean new identity.

You messaged me earlier saying you had something to discuss.

“A leopard may lie in wait. It may crouch in tall grass. But never, not once in history, has it managed to hide its spots.”

The political carcass of Abdullahi Umar Ganduje has finally begun to rot in the open sun. And the stench is unbearable. The former Governor of Kano, now disgraced ex-Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has long danced around the bonfire of public outrage, but this time, the flames have caught his agbada.

Let’s be absolutely clear: Ganduje’s moral bankruptcy is not a recent phenomenon. His now-infamous “dollar stuffing” video, where he was caught red-handed collecting bribes from contractors in Kano, remains one of the most grotesque images in Nigeria’s corruption chronicle. The fact that he was never prosecuted—not even made to sweat in a courtroom—was a shameful indictment of our broken justice system and the impunity embedded in political power.

But what happened this past week is not just poetic justice. It is a warning shot.

The Scene of the Crime Reloaded

Ganduje, once protected by the veil of gubernatorial immunity, had slithered his way into the national helm of APC—a party that claims to “fight corruption” yet comfortably allowed a known bribe collector to become its face. As Chairman, Ganduje allegedly sold party candidacies for local government primaries in Abuja to the highest bidder. Not on merit. Not on integrity. But on naira notes passed discreetly in envelopes or through loyal proxies.

And the kicker? Those who lost the primaries ALSO paid him—they just didn’t pay enough.

It’s a mafia move. And the godfather’s fall came like a scene from a Nollywood thriller: late-night resignation demanded in front of DSS agents and top APC brass, his office swept the next morning, his picture ripped off the wall, his authority disintegrated like cheap paper in acid.

He tried reaching out to the president. The line didn’t ring. It didn’t even dial.

This Isn’t Just About One Man

This is a systemic illness. If Ganduje had succeeded this time, what would stop him from selling governorship primaries, National Assembly slots, or even presidential delegates to the next political merchant?

This is not mere corruption. It is political racketeering at the highest level.

He was supposed to be a steward of democracy—not its auctioneer.

And let’s not forget—Ganduje is a repeat offender. Not just ethically dubious but morally bankrupt. His track record screams of entitlement, backdoor deals, and a pathological comfort with betrayal of public trust.


What Now?
• Those who paid him must come forward. Immunity is gone. The threat is neutralized. Now is the time to sue for fraud and criminal breach of contract.
• The APC must sue him themselves. If not, they’re not just enablers—they’re accomplices. They must show the nation that no one is above accountability, not even a former chairman.
• EFCC must act. Not next year. Not post-election. Now. If Ganduje is not prosecuted, it will set the worst precedent imaginable: that political theft is negotiable.


Ganduje Must Be Made the Example

The APC cannot claim to be anti-corruption while Ganduje walks free, well-fed, and unrepentant.

They say when a man steals a goat, he is paraded with tyres around his neck in Nigeria. But when a politician steals an entire electoral process, we hold seminars and sip tea.

No more.

Let the hammer come down. Let it crush this hypocrisy. Let Ganduje become the cautionary tale that ends the era of impunity.

Because in a just country, the leopard who refused to change his spots gets skinned, not celebrated.

The US House of Representatives has warned staff members not to use Meta’s messaging platform WhatsApp due to privacy concerns.

The warning marks a blow to WhatsApp, whose $1.8tn parent Meta has long battled concerns that it has been lax with user data in its hunt for commercial growth and advertising revenue.

The House’s Chief Administrative Officer told staffers on Monday that WhatsApp had been deemed “a high-risk to users”, according to a copy of the memo seen by the Financial Times.

The email ordered staff not to download or keep the messaging service on any House laptop or mobile device from June 30, adding that anyone who had the application would be asked to remove it.

The decision was taken due to “a lack of transparency in how [WhatsApp] protects user data, absence of stored data encryption, and potential security risks involved with its use”, read the memo, which was first reported by Axios.

A spokesperson for Meta said the company disagreed with the characterization “in the strongest possible terms”.

The person added that WhatsApp messages were “end-to-end encrypted by default”, meaning that neither the company nor third parties could read them, adding that the platform offered “a higher level of security than most of the apps on the CAO’s approved list”.

Approved products in the US House of Representatives include Microsoft Teams, Signal, Apple’s iMessage and FaceTime, and Amazon-owned messaging service Wickr. Meta said WhatsApp, which has about 3bn users globally, is approved for official use in the Senate.

“Protecting the people’s House is our topmost priority, and we are always monitoring and analysing for potential cyber security risks that could endanger the data of House members and staff,” House chief administrative officer Catherine Szpindor said in a statement.

“We routinely review the list of House-authorised apps and will amend the list as deemed appropriate.”

Meta bought WhatsApp in 2014 for $19bn but co-founder Brian Acton left the company in 2017 following disagreements over user privacy and a lack of independence from the parent company.

Acton later co-founded rival Signal, which was at the centre of a furore in March after US officials, including vice-president JD Vance and defence secretary Pete Hegseth, accidentally shared details of forthcoming military strikes in an unofficial messaging group with a journalist.

Meta is currently fighting a legal challenge from the US Federal Trade Commission, which alleges the company retains an illegal monopoly for its purchase of WhatsApp and photo-sharing app Instagram.

The news comes as chief executive Mark Zuckerberg has made overtures to President Donald Trump, including multiple visits to the White House, in a bid to seek favourable outcomes for Meta.

Meta has also been increasingly working with the US military, widely interpreted as an attempt to court Trump. Meta last November shifted its policy to allow government agencies to use its AI models, called Llama, for military purposes. Last month it announced it was teaming up with Anduril to build mixed reality products for the US army.

Meanwhile, Meta’s chief technology officer Andrew Bosworth this month announced that he was accepting a commission as a lieutenant colonel in the US Army Reserve’s new Executive Innovation Corps.

After pledging not to introduce advertising to WhatsApp as an early mantra, the messaging app last week announced it would be offering ads into the status section of the app, which is separate from where the chat conversations are hosted.

An Iranian official claimed that Tehran never received a ceasefire proposal from the United States and saw no reason to end the war with Israel and the United States, the official told CNN on Monday night.

The official claimed that Tehran would continue the war and that remarks from Israeli and US leaders would be viewed as a "deception" to justify continued attacks on Iran.

“At this very moment, the enemy is committing aggression against Iran, and Iran is on the verge of intensifying its retaliatory strikes, with no ear to listen to the lies of its enemies,” the official said.

Trump's ceasefire announcement
The comments came shortly before US President Donald Trump announced a ceasefire between Israel and Iran.
Following a security cabinet meeting on Monday night, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asked ministers to avoid making public statements.
Trump announced late on Monday night that a ceasefire has been reached between Israel and Iran and will enter into effect at 7 a.m. Israel time.
Trump said that Iran will immediately cease attacks and Israel will join the ceasefire on the 12th hour of the agreement. On the 24th hour, both sides will reportedly accept an end to the 12-day war.

"CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE! It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and Iran that there will be a Complete and Total CEASEFIRE (in approximately 6 hours from now, when Israel and Iran have wound down and completed their in progress, final missions!)," Trump wrote on Truth Social.

"For 12 hours, at which point the War will be considered, ENDED! Officially, Iran will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 12th Hour, Israel will start the CEASEFIRE and, upon the 24th Hour, an Official END to THE 12 DAY WAR will be saluted by the World.

"During each CEASEFIRE, the other side will remain PEACEFUL and RESPECTFUL. On the assumption that everything works as it should, which it will, I would like to congratulate both Countries, Israel and Iran, on having the Stamina, Courage, and Intelligence to end, what should be called, 'THE 12 DAY WAR.' This is a War that could have gone on for years, and destroyed the entire Middle East, but it didn’t, and never will! God bless Israel, God bless Iran, God bless the Middle East, God bless the United States of America, and GOD BLESS THE WORLD!"

Qatar was involved in mediation between Israel and Iran to achieve a ceasefire announced by US President Donald Trump on Monday night, a diplomatic source familiar with details told The Jerusalem Post.

Israeli officials previously confirmed to the Jerusalem Post that the IDF intended to wrap up operations in Iran in the coming days.
