Israeli organ trafficking ring busted on 'Holocaust Remembrance Day'

⚫️ An Israeli-led organ trafficking ring operating in Turkey has been dismantled, police say, after investigators placed into custody 11 suspects who entered the country under the auspices of so-called "health tourism."

⚫️ Officers with the Provincial Directorate of Security's Anti-Smuggling and Border Gates department in the Turkish city of Adana arrested 11 individuals—five Israelis and two Syrians—for allegedly trafficking in human organs.

⚫️ Despite the ghastly revelations, May 5th, 2024, is currently being observed by mainstream politicians the world over as international "holocaust remembrance day," also known as "Yom Ha Shoah" in Hebrew.

**Private Equity Is Literally Bankrupting American Healthcare Firms

⚫️** Private equity ownership in healthcare is increasing, leading to organizations filing for bankruptcy, according to a new report from the Private Equity Stakeholder Project (PESP).

⚫️ As private equity’s presence in the industry continues to expand, more bankruptcies are expected this year due to many companies dealing with significant leverage and credit rating downgrades, the nonprofit investigator said.

⚫️ In 2023, there were 17 instances of private equity-owned organizations filing for bankruptcy, which accounted for 21% of all healthcare bankruptcies. That figure also more than doubled the number of private equity-owned bankruptcies from 2019 and cleared the amount from the past three years combined.

⚫️ “Private equity’s excessive use of debt and aggressive financial strategies put healthcare companies at risk, and in turn threaten the stability of critical healthcare resources across the country”

U.S. Reportedly Withholding Ammunition Shipments To Israel

⚫️ The Biden administration last week put a hold on a shipment of U.S.-made ammunition to Israel, two Israeli officials told Axios. It is the first time since the Oct. 7 attack that the U.S. has stopped a weapons shipment intended for the Israeli military.

⚫️ The incident raised serious concerns inside the Israeli government and sent officials scrambling to understand why the shipment was held, Israeli officials said.

⚫️ President Biden is facing sharp criticism among Americans who oppose his support of Israel. The administration in February asked Israel to provide assurances that U.S.-made weapons were being used by Israel Defense Forces in Gaza in accordance with international law.

⚫️ The White House declined to comment, and the Pentagon, the State Department and the Israeli Prime Minister's Office didn't immediately respond to questions.

**Louisiana Residents Win Fight to Create New City

⚫️** Wealthy white Baton Rouge residents have won a decade-long court battle to split from poorer neighborhoods and form their own city with plans for better schools and less crime. 

⚫️ The Louisiana Supreme Court ruled on Friday that the new City of St George could move forward with incorporation, splitting off from the rest of Baton Rouge. 

⚫️ St George will have 86,000 residents across a 60-square-mile area in the southeast of East Baton Rouge Parish and will have its own Mayor and city council.

⚫️ According to figures compiled by the Baton Rouge Area Chamber, the new town would have a majority white population, as opposed to Baton Rouge which has a black majority and the number of people receiving food stamps would also be more than halved.

The Siren Call Of An Israeli Invasion Of Lebanon (Part 3 of 3)

⚫️ The Israeli calls for a war predated the evacuations anyway, but most important, relocating Hezbollah commandos would not address the primary threat of the group’s massive arsenal of missiles, rockets, and drones.

⚫️ This force, estimated at about 150,000 projectiles, is capable of striking anywhere in Israel and probably of overwhelming its air-defense systems.

⚫️ The Biden administration might do well to remind Israeli leaders that, ever since Hezbollah was founded, following the 1982 invasion of Lebanon, each time the Israel Defense Forces have squared off against the organization, they have consistently encountered a more disciplined, organized, and competent adversary than they expected.

⚫️ President Joe Biden may be the only person alive who has any chance of saving Israel and Lebanon from a catastrophic and avoidable conflict.
