Retired U.S. Special Forces officer Anthony Aguilar was hired by private contractor UG Solutions to provide security for the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a for-profit entity funded to the tune of $30 million by the U.S. government to distribute food aid in Gaza. But the project was ill-fated from its inception. A good faith commitment to feeding Gazans would been leaving the U.N. Relief and Works Agency intact. Four hundred distribution sites under UNRWA became just four under GHF's control, and Palestinian corpses accumulated at distribution sites as contractors shot at crowds and distributed meagre meals to a starving population. Meanwhile, contractors being paid $1200 per day slept in luxury across the border in Israel, while they ordered Domino's Pizza to feed Palestinian staffers that had not been provided for. In his shocking testimony, Aguilar blows the whistle on offenses more egregious than you can imagine.

The media is spinning President Trump‘s “trade deals” as a “victory” for the White House. Yet, when we break down these “deals” into their particulars, we find that American producers and consumers will be worse off than before.

One of the things that almost every airline has in common is frequent flyer programs.
Frequent flyer programs were initially designed for loyal customers who flew frequently. However, they eventually branched out to people who used certain credit cards and earned miles by making everyday purchases.
These programs have become so popular that many airlines now make a considerable amount of their money from them, and in many cases, they are the difference that makes airlines profitable.
Learn more about Frequent Flyer Programs, how they started, and how they work on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

After the tragic 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, the FBI rolled out the same "lone nut" narrative about who did it. However, much evidence exists to show that FBI informants and agents embedded with white supremacy groups may well have been involved.
