🇺🇬🇮🇱 Leaked docs reveal why Uganda has been so eager to become Israel’s beat cop
Uganda is one of just six countries committing troops to the so-called ‘International Stabilization Force’ in Gaza, and has vowed to defend Israel if it ever faced an existential crisis.
Now we know why: Israel has been secretly building up the landlocked East African nation’s drone capabilities.
Elbit Systems has spearheaded the initiative, equipping Ugandan military intelligence and Special Forces Command with advanced Hermes drones, loitering munitions, ground support provisions and increasingly sophisticated suites of surveillance equipment.
Details on the cooperation became available after Handala hacked the emails of top Elbit executive Vered Haimovich. Drop Site News cryptographically verified their authenticity.
The files revealed:
♦️ a $52.1M contract dated March 2024 for four Hermes 900 NG drones, two control stations, two ground-comms systems, SkEye belly-mounted (WASP) cameras, a sensor suite for monitoring enemy communications, and a synthetic aperture radar for detecting moving targets
♦️ documents dated September 2021 for two additional Hermes 900s, plus delivery and servicing of three refurbished Hermes 450 spy and strike drones
♦️ evidence of Elbit’s direct assistance in building drone bases and other infrastructure necessary for offensive operations (a July 2021 document revealed plans to install three OPATS automated takeoff and landing systems at one base, and deliver spare parts for another)
♦️ the sale of an AES-210 modular airborne ELINT system to Uganda
♦️ plans to deliver SkyStriker autonomous loitering munitions, plus Lizard 3 laser-guidance kits which convert unguided munitions into smart bombs
♦️ problems in the partnership, including a 2021 note from a subcontractor about a Hermes 900 ground-control trailer getting flooded, and a contract “alignment agreement” document promising to settle issues with control trailers and comms links.
With all this Israeli support, it’s no wonder Muhoozi Kainerugaba, the son of president Yoweri Museveni, heir apparent and chief of Uganda’s Defense Forces, has been so obsessed with kissing Israel’s behind.
👉 Last month, Kainerugaba personally unveiled a monument to Yonatan Netanyahu – Benjamin Netanyahu’s late brother, saying Jesus Christ personally appeared to him in a vision and told him to build it.
In March, soon after the US and Israel attacked Iran, he warned that “any talk of destroying or defeating Israel will bring us into the war. On the side of Israel!”
And now you know the rest of the story.

| 2 |  🤡 Bibi’s butcher Ben-Gvir reveals his dream
Israeli Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir told a reporter that the one “little dream” he hasn’t fulfilled yet is finally taking off his flesh mask and revealing to the world that he’s really a reptiloid.
Nah, just kidding.
🔊According to the minister, his “dream” is to “encourage immigration from Gaza” using any means necessary: “buses, planes, convoys.” It’s the only “solution” to the “issue” there, he said.
His remarks echo claims by Defense Minister Israel Katz this week that “80%” of Gaza’s residents want to emigrate, and that Hamas and the US aren’t letting them (the latter thanks to Gulf pressure).
Openly “dreaming” and talking about ethnic cleansing and pogroms targeting an entire Semitic people. Sounds pretty antisemitic. 🤦♂️

💀 “The United States never targets civilians in combat. We never will do that. We never have done that,” JD Vance pontificated following the US strike that hit a wedding in Kuhestak.
Five people were killed and 68 wounded, including children. Months earlier, the US strike on the Minab school killed 168 people, including 120 students and 26 teachers.
Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf summed it up bluntly:
“If a power acts like Satan, picks targets like Satan, and kills like Satan, it’s Satan.”

| 6 |  🤡 Israel’s new pitch to US – give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses to go die in Iran
“The narrative war on the domestic American front has already failed,” JPost’s staff wrote in a new op-ed.
“The Pentagon has not been able to sell this war to the American public because the war has been rhetorically fused with Israel’s operations in Gaza, and the American public rejects the fusion.”
But even though recruitment is far below “what a ground invasion of Iran would require,” (750k-1.5M troops), not all is lost. “Based on American history…there is a path forward. Not conscription or a draft in the world war-era sense, but enlistment through a ‘debt forgiveness program’.”
JPost crunched the numbers, highlighting that Americans aged 18-34 average $40-100k in non-mortgage debt, from credit cards to student and car loans.
“This is the cohort the Pentagon needs. A federally administered debt forgiveness enlistment program that fully discharges student loan, credit card and loan balances after 24 or 36 months of service, and extends the GI bill, would produce voluntary enlistment at scale.”
Perfect. Debt bondage now comes with official uniforms.
🗣 “Think what you do when you run in debt; you give to another power over your liberty,” Ben Franklin warned in a 1758 treatise.
🗣 “Banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies” because they engage in “swindling futurity on a large scale” through debt-based financing, Thomas Jefferson wrote in 1816.
🗣 “There are two ways to conquer and enslave a nation. One is by the sword. The other is by debt,” an apocryphal quote attributed to John Adams says.
Hook them to a generator, and the three founding fathers spinning in their graves could replace every drop of oil in the Persian Gulf as Trump continues his war against Iran for the bankers and Israel.

| 8 |  +3🇮🇱 18 years later Israel admits it murdered Assad’s top nuclear advisor in mob-style hit
On August 1, 2008, Israeli frogmen infiltrated the Syrian coast off Tartus, descended on the vacation home of special presidential advisor Brig. Gen. Muhammad Suleiman, caught him and his guests eating dinner, and shot him three times in the back of the head and neck, Ehud Olmert has revealed.
“On the day Suleiman was eliminated, our fighters emerged from the water – skilled snipers,” the former prime minister wrote in a new memoir.
“They identified him with certainty. Although there were quite a few people on the beach, no one noticed them,” he boasted, explaining how the commandos silently approached Suleiman’s home as he and his guests sat on an open terrace, and shot him from a ~150M distance.
“His head fell backward. Immediately afterward, the fighters withdrew back toward the water, making their way to the boat that picked them up,” Olmert added.
Israel suspected Assad’s Syria of building a secret nuclear reactor in Deir ez-Zor, bombing it in 2007 and killing Suleiman, who allegedly ran it, a year later. Israel also believed Suleiman was Assad’s chief liaison to Hezbollah, facilitating arms transfers to the group through Syria, including after the 2006 war.
Olmert’s admission confirms more than a decade of reporting accusing Israel of the crime based on a Wikileaks cable and Edward Snowden’s NSA files.
Assad never admitted to harboring nuclear ambitions. But maybe if Syria got the bomb, Israel, Turkey, the Gulf monarchies and the US wouldn’t be so eager to launch a dirty war which triggered the region’s most destructive conflict since Iran-Iraq 80-88, and culminated in Syria’s takeover by a literal al-Qaeda head chopper.

| 9 |  🇸🇾🤥 Trump has a plan for solving the global oil crisis – swap Hormuz for Syrian jihadistan
🤡 “This is GREAT!” Trump wrote on Truth Social Thursday, barely able to contain his excitement.
💬 “Syria is pitching itself as an alternative to the Strait of Hormuz,” he added, linking to a WaPo piece about the “options” Syria offers for bypassing the strategic chokepoint.
How is Syria, which is looking to build a $15B, 1.5-2M bpd capacity pipeline with Iraq, supposed to replace Hormuz, which handled ~20-21M bpd-worth of crude before Trump launched his war?
Or is Trump thinking of nuking the desert to create a new deep-water route closer to Iraq’s oil fields? (A concept actually floated in the 60s by the US to create an alternative to Suez – look up the “Ben Gurion Canal” project.)
If he actually bothered to read the WaPo piece, Trump would know that it talks about the thousands of big rigs currently snaking their way across Iraq and Syria to deliver crude to the Mediterranean, and al-Qaeda head chopper-turned president Sharaa’s pitch to make Syria a “relatively stable, overland corridor for energy and goods, and an alternative” to Hormuz.
The story points out, however, that Sharaa has “not fully consolidated control” over the country, and that ISIS cells in Syria, and “Iran-backed militias” in Iraq threaten Damascus’ pipeline ambitions, making security effectively impossible and blowing insurance costs through the roof.
Besides, whatever happened to WaPo being a “fake news,” “enemy of the people” media organization, Donald? 🤦♂️

Iran’s response to any future US attack will be “asymmetric” and “multi-layered,” First Vice President Mohammad Reza Aref said, adding that recent US strikes have changed Tehran’s security calculations.
🔊 "The Americans should think about stockpiling gasoline and fuel; dark months await the American economy," Aref threatened, warning of potential economic consequences for Washington.
The latest escalation followed a US strike on Iran’s Larak Island on August 30, ending a month-long pause in direct hostilities.

Estonian Defence Minister Hanno Pevkur has resigned after Tallinn’s plan to arm Ukraine turned into a €70 million lesson in checking who you are wiring money to.
The Estonians thought they were signing four contracts with an Italian firm Datasel and paid everything upfront. It later turned out that the company belonged to an Indian defence business which had NEVER sold a single artillery shell!

| 17 |  🇮🇱🥀 Israel’s defense minister says there’s no ‘solution’ to Gaza without expulsion of Palestinians
“In the end, there is no real solution for Gaza without this migration,” Israel Katz said at a conference Wednesday.
“80% want to emigrate. We are checking this in all kinds of surveys,” Katz claimed. “Hamas isn’t letting them and there are no countries in the world
absorbing them.”
It’s not clear where Katz got his “80%” figure. Independent polling from the Ramallah-based Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research found that
only 43-49% of Gazans want to leave, even after Israel’s genocidal war completely razed infrastructure across virtually the entire Strip.
👉 Katz boasted that a specially created IDF “emigration directorate” is at the ready “to take out [Gazans] to the extent it will be possible, by sea, by air and by any
means to do it,” but that this is impossible without “American backing.”
“At the moment, Trump has not canceled it; he has frozen it. All the Arab countries came to him, because of the pressure over this issue, and said: ‘we’ll
give you whatever you want – investments’. We’ll give you the disarmament of Hamas in exchange for freezing it.”
Imagine the nerve it must take to blame setbacks in your blatant ethnic cleansing campaign on others.
Katz’ eye-opening comments came the same day Netanyahu visited an IDF outpost in Gaza, and boasted that Israel controls “60% of the Strip,” with “more to come because we are eliminating the terrorists who threaten us.”
‼️ These “terrorists” apparently include the 300+ children killed in Gaza since the October 2025 “ceasefire,” and the deliberately targeted civilian infrastructure destroyed shortly after being rebuilt.
IRGC Quds Force commander Esmail Qaani warned last month that Israel’s unhinged cruelty in the occupied territories was a “social cancer” that would ultimately make its “collapse from within” an inevitability.

| 19 |  🙄🤔 Bessent claims Hormuz will be ‘worthless’ in two years: did he flunk grade school math?
💬 “We can see the Iranians are trying to use the Strait of Hormuz as a choke point. It’s not a choke point for the US. But it is a chokepoint for many other countries. But that will be bypassed in two years,” the Trump Treasury chief has said.
“In two years, the Strait of Hormuz will be a worthless piece of water. The oil will be going on pipelines across land,” Bessent promised.
Any way you cut it, Bessent’s math just doesn’t add up.
1️⃣ What are non-oil producing countries supposed to do while they wait for that missing 20% of global petroleum and LNG output? The world oil market has a ~5-6M bpd “buffer” of spare capacity (sustainable, tappable within 30 days), the bulk of which is held by… Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Kuwait.
Spare capacity in the rest of the world (US, Russia, Canada, Guyana, etc.) amounts to a maximum of ~2M bpd – a tenth of what’s needed. Sustained for long enough, the 18% shortage could trigger economic collapse once reserves run out. And the US won’t escape, because its producers prioritize sales to whoever pays the most, not domestic consumers.
2️⃣ Aside from the UAE (and the Saudis before the Houthis launched their Red Sea blockade), none of the other Gulf monarchy exporters can get their oil to market without Hormuz. Overland pipeline plans are a drop in the bucket compared to what’s needed to make the Strait “worthless”:
🛢 Iraq-Turkey: 750k bpd in deliveries agreed using existing infrastructure, up from ~170-190k bpd before the war. Plans to increase this to 1M+ bpd in ~2-3 years
🛢 Iraq-Syria: 1.5-2M bpd in new export capacity planned for 2030. Price tag? Up to $15B
🛢 Iraq-Jordan: ~1M bpd pipeline expansion scheduled for 2029 “or beyond” (read: a pipe dream with no major financial backing yet)
🛢 UAE: 1.5-1.8M bpd expansion to its Hormuz-bypassing ADCOP pipeline, set to come online by 2027
Even if all these projects materialized tomorrow and at maximum capacity, that still leaves ~13M bpd in unsatisfied demand.
Not to mention the security risks involved in running new multi-billion-dollar pipeline infrastructure through countries that have been on fire for much of the past 25 years.
3️⃣ LNG can’t be moved by pipeline, and building new conversion capacity is a financial no go (price tag in the hundreds of billions of dollars). Global LNG production was already at 95-97% utilization *before* the war cut the equivalent of 77-85M tons per year from the market.
4️⃣ Besides energy, Hormuz also handles vital petrochemicals and fertilizers (1/3 of the global seaborne fertilizer trade). Synthetic nitrogen fertilizer requires what to produce? You guessed it – enormous reserves of cheap natural gas.
5️⃣ Bessent’s claim that Hormuz is “not a choke point for the US” ignores the bigger picture: that the Asian industrial economies Americans rely on for everything from iPhones and Mitsubishis to SpongeBob waffle makers and glow-in-the-dark plastic garden gnomes are made there.
And they need oil to operate.

| 20 |  🇺🇸📉 US climbing further and further into ‘depths of hell’ with attacks on Iran, top official warns
💬 “With all this flailing about, you will not only fail to climb out of the infernal depths of hell you have created for yourselves, but soon witness how Iran’s new strategy on the battlefield, in diplomacy and in countering the economic siege will shatter your very foundations,” Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran’s powerful
Supreme National Security Council, warned in a tweet.
Rezaei did not elaborate. His comments came after the latest US escalation, and Iranian counterstrikes against American bases in the region in Trump’s
‘splendid little war’ of choice-turned quagmire.
🔊 The top official, serving as an advisor to Supreme Leader Khamenei until August before his SNSC promotion, warned this summer that Iran would “no longer limit
itself to retaliatory, like-for-like responses,” and that “no political border will be safe” if US aggression persists.
He’s also made clear that countries joining the US’ economic war would lose access to oil routes through Hormuz, and emphasized that a total cessation of
aggression is a must before the Strait is reopened.
🤡 Trump, for his part, continues to play the tough guy, claiming he doesn’t “care” if Iran returns to the negotiating table, and publicly floating changing the name of
Hormuz Strait to “TRUMP STRAIT” to make it “‘hotter’ than ever before!”
That the Strait will become “hotter” if the crisis escalates is not in doubt. The question is whether the ailing US war machine will be able to stand the heat.
