@1:59 who are the armed individuals pilfering food deliveries allocated for the kids? You didn't say. Are there descriptions? This action is despicable. I've heard that hamas has been offering relief supplies similar to those stolen, for sale to starving individuals. Any truth to this?

This too is horrendous and should never be.

The UN is very big and has a really huge budget that must perpetuate to feed their continued existence. In order to be successful in this actual objective, the UN must appear to struggle grasping at their always ever so slightly just out of reach publicly stated goals.

Seems like the terrorist leaders in the tunnels are getting their fill. Perhaps they would share with the citizens that voted them into power.

A warning for folks NOT to vote for a knowingly corrupt gubmit leadership who has not only the propensity, but seemingly the desire, or at least lack of concern, to utilize you as a human shield to protect their military assets...

This "newz" podcast reminds me so much of the stereotypical misinformation scripted propaganda "newz" presentation scene characterized by some of the best movie depictions of a news presentation in a dystopian future. Thanks!

Worrying about carbon emissions is as ridiculous as AI is artificial. So if championing the illusory monster of carbon emissions reduces the expansion of humankind enslaving machine faked intelligence, count me in.
