The New York Times published two op-eds by Hussam Abu Safyia.
< edited after some feedback .. origina post is:
He was introduced as a doctor.
A humanitarian.
A hospital director.

What readers were not told
He is a Hamas colonel.
A senior figure in a U.S.-designated terrorist organization.
Edited:
The "Hamas general" claim seem to be a high-stakes information war, and its validity i took for granted. The New York Times did publish an op-ed by Dr. Abu Safiya in October 2023 where he pleaded for help as northern Gaza's hospitals collapsed.
The claim primarily originates from the IDF (Israel Defense Forces) and surfaced shortly after his detention in late December 2024. (he IDF stated that Abu Safiya was being investigated for "holding a rank" within Hamas and was part of Hamas’s Military Medical Services.   In early January 2025, the Israeli military released video footage of other detained individuals who allegedly identified him as a high-ranking operative.
From what I can find- Current Status (January 2026)
As of now, Dr. Abu Safiya remains in administrative detention. No formal charges of "terrorism" or "military command" have been proven in a court of law. His health has reportedly reached a critical state, with his legal team reporting a loss of nearly 100 pounds and heart complications.

Shameful performance by the Grey Lady.

But it has a history.
The Gray Lady Winked: How the New York Times's Misreporting, Distortions and Fabrications Radically Alter History Kindle Edition
by Ashley Rindsberg
https://www.amazon.com/Gray-Lady-Winked ... 0922WP4VQ/
The Gray Lady Winked pulls back the curtain on this illustrious institution to reveal a quintessentially human organization where ideology, ego, power and politics compete with the more humble need to present the facts. In its 10 gripping chapters, The Gray Lady Winked offers readers an eye-opening, often shocking, look at the New York Times’s greatest journalistic failures, so devastating they changed the course of history.

How its World War II Berlin bureau chief, a known Nazi collaborator, skewed coverage in favor of the Third Reich for over a decade.
Its notorious coverup of the Ukraine Famine, a genocide committed by Stalin, showing that it was the newspaper's owners who directed the coverup in order to advance their own financial and ideological interests.
The “1619 Project," a cynical, ideologically driven attempt to revise American history by rooting the nation's birth in slavery instead of liberty.
The result is an essential look at the tangled relationship between media, power and politics in a post-truth world told with novelistic flair to reveal a uniquely powerful institution’s tortured relationship with the truth.

Most importantly of all, The Gray Lady Winked presents a cautionary tale that shows what happens when the guardians of the truth abandon that sacred value in favor of self-interest and ideology—and what this means for our future as much as for our past.

I haven't heard this incident before, so I just googled his name for the NYT op-eds and one of the first links is from NYPost, which is a pretty pro-Israel paper.

https://nypost.com/2026/01/31/world-new ... chdog-idf/

The last para in the post is the confusing part, I'm quoting it here...

"The Israeli Defense Forces confirmed Safyia was apprehended during the war on suspicion of “involvement in terrorist activities.” He was not charged and was released by the IDF, but the Israeli Prison Services agency did not respond to a request for comment on his current whereabouts."

Why would IDF arrest someone who is a hamas colonel, interrogate him, and release him? Throughout this war, IDF just vaporized each and every hamas terrorist and them some just because they were sus, but this guy who IDF says is high ranking colonel gets a pass and is released? Smells terribly fishy.

A year on, Israel still holds Gaza doctor Hussam Abu Safia without charge
Abu Safia’s health has deteriorated considerably since he was taken by Israeli soldiers.
Gaza City – Dr Hussam Abu Safia, 52, remains in an Israeli prison a year after Israel detained him without charges or trial.

His family and supporters are demanding his release as his health deteriorates amid reports of the inhumane conditions under which he is being held.

Abu Safia, known for his steadfast presence as director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in Beit Lahiya, north of Gaza City, has become central in international discussions on the protection of medical personnel in armed conflicts.

He insisted on staying at the hospital, along with several medical staff, despite continuous Israeli attacks on the facility.

Israel eventually surrounded the hospital and forced everyone to evacuate. Since then, Abu Safia has been in detention, and the hospital has been out of service.

He was transferred between Israeli prisons, from the notorious Sde Teiman holding facility to Ofer Prison, being mistreated continuously.

No charges have been brought against Abu Safia, who is held under the “unlawful combatant” law, which allows detention without a standard criminal trial and denies detainees access to the evidence against them.

@HansMahncke
While there is no evidence that Zohran Mamdani is Jeffrey Epstein’s son, the fact that his mother appears in the Epstein files highlights a much broader and deeper problem, which is the incestuous nature of elite networks. At a certain level, everyone seems to know everyone, work for everyone, or is connected through some opaque web of professional and personal ties.

A supposedly random figure from the squalor of Uganda rises all the way to mayor of New York, only for it to later emerge that his mother is deeply embedded in elite circles. The same pattern shows up again and again. James Comey’s daughter just happened to be a lead federal prosecutor on the Epstein case. The judge who presided over the trial of Hillary Clinton’s lawyer, the one who helped seed the Russiagate hoax, is married to Lisa Page’s lawyer. Page, of course, was involved with Peter Strzok, who is one of the central figures in that same hoax. And to complete the circle, Merrick Garland officiated their wedding.

None of this requires conspiracy theories. It requires only acknowledging how small, closed, and self-protecting these elite worlds are. Fix elite incestuousness, and a lot of other problems will disappear on their own.

Somebody has to say it. There is a very real possibility Zohran Mamdani is Jeffrey Epstein’s biological son.

HOW TRUMP’S SECOND TERM UPENDED DECADES OF U.S. FOREIGN POLICY
NATO and other Western partnerships are undermined as allies are treated as competitors, with US protection and trade benefits conditioned on perceived self-interest.
John Dobson, February 1, 2026
London: One year into Donald Trump’s second term, it’s increasingly clear that the United States has embarked on a foreign policy experiment without precedent in the modern era. For roughly 80 years, successive US administrations, Republican and Democrat alike, operated within a broadly shared framework established in the aftermath of the Second World War. That framework rested on alliances, international institutions, open markets and a belief that American power was most effective when exercised in concert with others. Today, that settlement is in visible retreat. Under Trump, the United States is not merely adjusting its approach to the world but actively dismantling key pillars of the international order it once built and led. What is emerging in its place is not isolationism in the traditional sense, but something more disruptive: a transactional, zero-sum vision of global politics in which power is hoarded, alliances are conditional and liberal rules are viewed as constraints rather than assets.
The post-war order was founded on a simple but ambitious premise. By underwriting global security through alliances such as NATO, supporting institutions like the United Nations, World Bank and World Trade Organization, and opening its vast domestic market to allies and competitors alike, the US could promote stability, prosperity and influence simultaneously. While far from altruistic, this system aligned American interests with those of much of the world, particularly in Europe and East Asia. Trump’s foreign policy vision rejects that logic outright. To him, international institutions dilute US sovereignty, alliances create liabilities, and free trade allows others to exploit America’s economic strength. Leadership, in this worldview, is not something to be exercised for collective benefit, but a burden that leaves the US paying more and getting less.
This is not a new set of beliefs for Trump. Long before he entered politics, he railed against the North American Free Trade Agreement, the WTO and multilateral trade deals more broadly. He opposed US military interventions in Iraq and Afghanistan, not on moral or humanitarian grounds, but because he saw them as costly ventures that delivered little tangible return. What has changed since his first term is not his worldview but his freedom to act on it. During Trump’s initial presidency, establishment figures within his administration, such as generals, diplomats and economic advisers, all steeped in the post-war consensus, often acted as a brake on his instincts. Many have now gone. In their place are inexperienced and incompetent loyalists, such as TalkShow hosts, who do not challenge Trump’s belief that the existing international system works against American interests. The result is a far more unconstrained presidency, willing to pursue a radical reordering of US foreign relations.
At the heart of Trump’s worldview is a transactional understanding of international politics. Shaped by decades in real estate, he approaches diplomacy as a series of deals in which one party wins and the other loses. Alliances, in this context, are not expressions of shared identity or mutual obligation but financial arrangements that should be renegotiated (or abandoned) if they no longer appear profitable. This approach has been most starkly illustrated in Trump’s handling of trade and security. Sweeping tariffs, imposed with little regard for their impact on allies, reflect his belief that the open trading system disadvantages the US as the world’s largest consumer market. Meanwhile, repeated threats to withhold US protection from NATO allies unless they increase defence spending strike at the core of the alliance’s credibility.

"He {Trump} opposed US military interventions in Iraq and Afghanistan"
In his 2000 book “The America We Deserve,” Trump argued that a military strike on Iraq might be necessary.

Trump wrote that the US still did not know the true status of Iraq’s nuclear program. He then wrote, “I’m no warmonger. But the fact is, if we decide a strike against Iraq is necessary, it is madness not to carry the mission to its conclusion. When we don’t, we have the worst of all worlds: Iraq remains a threat, and now has more incentive than ever to attack us.”

He continued: “Am I being contradictory here, by presenting myself as a deal-maker and then recommending preemptive strikes? I don’t think so. There’s nothing really comparable to unleashing a squadron of bombers, but in the world of business sometimes you have to make quick, secret, decisive moves in order to gain a negotiating advantage.”

When radio host Howard Stern asked Trump in September 2002 if he is “for invading Iraq,” Trump responded, “Yeah, I guess so. I wish the first time it was done correctly.”

Trump did not express a firm opinion about the looming war in a Fox interview in January 2003, saying that “either you attack or don’t attack” and that President George W. Bush “has either got to do something or not do something, perhaps.”

Jonathan Cohn in The Bulwark on measles:
As of this past Wednesday, the South Carolina Department of Public Health had logged more than eight hundred cases of the highly contagious disease, with many more unreported infections presumably out there because not all parents seek formal medical care for their kids. The official tally is now growing by more than a hundred cases each week and has blown past the count from last year’s Texas outbreak, which killed three people, including the first two American children to die of measles in a decade.
Measles is also popping up in other states, including California, Florida, and Ohio. Overall the national measles count is on pace to shatter last year’s total, which was the highest since 1991.
In 2000, the United States achieved “elimination status,” which meant the disease was no longer circulating on a regular basis. The unvaccinated could still bring infections back after getting exposed abroad, but the illness wouldn’t spread far because the vast majority of Americans were immunized. The spark found no kindling, and between 2000 and 2024 the average number of cases stayed below 200.
During the decade before 1963, when the vaccine first became available, the annual toll in the United States was, on average, 48,000 hospitalized, 1,000 diagnosed with encephalitis, and between 400 and 500 dead.

And those numbers, grim though they are, don’t take into account the disease’s long-term effects, which can include blindness, hearing loss, and a condition where the body literally forgets how to fight certain diseases. Measles can also cause subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE), which appears years after infection as a series of severe neurological problems including seizures, involuntary movements, and early dementia. A school-aged child in California died from that just a few months ago.

In a text exchange between Steve Bannon and Jeffrey Epstein, the two discuss Trump’s new assistant, Madeleine Westerhout, describing her as a new “friend” of Trump.

Bannon calls her “a grundoon,” one of his go-to insults. Epstein, meanwhile, refers to her as “Kneepads,” adding that she is “doing God’s work.”

Epstein then writes: “Hes much more calm, but the sight of him in the residence in his undies is hard to fathom. Ill give you details when I see you.”

From Bush archives:

in 2008 George W. Bush pushed for Ukraine and Georgia to join NATO.
he said he would not allow Russia to veto its membership bid. "I strongly believe that Ukraine and Georgia should be given MAP [Membership Action Plans], and there are no tradeoffs - period.”
Europe didn’t support this. French prime minister François Fillon said: "France will not give its green light to the entry of Ukraine and Georgia."
Angela Merkel also opposed this. She even defended her decision in her memoir.

"No images connected to “Pizzagate” were recovered from Hunter Biden’s laptop, according to all credible reporting and the publicly released photo archives. The photos that were published online contain personal material—some explicit, some involving drug use—but none relate to the “Pizzagate” conspiracy theory, which has been repeatedly debunked."

The "Obama-Medvedev deal" primarily refers to the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START), signed in April 2010 by U.S. President Barack Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev in Prague. It was a cornerstone of the Obama administration’s "reset" of relations with Russia, aimed at reducing nuclear stockpiles and increasing transparency.

In March 2012, an open microphone captured President Obama telling President Medvedev that he would have "more flexibility" to deal with contentious issues like missile defense after his re-election.

Context: Obama was asking for space on the issue of European missile defense, which Russia strongly opposed.
Reaction: The remark was heavily criticized by U.S. Republicans as a sign of weakness and a potential "secret deal" to limit American defense capabilities.

While initially seen as a success, relations deteriorated significantly following 2014, making the Obama-Medvedev Commission essentially defunct. However, New START remained in place, and was extended in 2021 before Russia suspended its participation in 2023.

Seems more of a satanic thing to me .. why can’t it be manufactured by pharmaceutical companies for profit … if it’s true.. I think all these barbarism is to force a brotherhood of guilt between the involved people so that they can be manipulated later… also once you do such acts it makes you mentally capable of taking even more risks or enacting loyalty.
Bankers, traders etc also have such associations to hide insider dealings or partake of adventurous or even downright criminal acts to increase bonding and loyalty and lose your humanity and emotional empathy

Lattu ludakne lagaa hai.....

Four months ago (Oct 2025) in an interview he told a cock-and-bull story about he and his wife visiting Epstein next door in 2005. He claimed he was "disgusted" by Epstein after seeing his candlelit massage table, vowing to "never be around him again".

Now the files dump reveals that he later traveled to Epstein's island in 2012, with 8 children (his and another couple's). Seems totally inexplicable for someone "disgusted" by Epstein.

Ex-British ambassador seen with woman in underwear in Epstein Files:Resigns from PM Starmer’s Labour Party to avoid embarrassment
https://www.bhaskarenglish.in/internati ... 02335.html

A photo of former British Ambassador Peter Mandelson has emerged in new documents linked to American sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. In the photo, Mandelson appears alongside a woman wearing only underwear and a shirt, while the woman is in a bathrobe.

Following the emergence of the photo, Mandelson resigned from Prime Minister Keir Starmer's Labour Party. He stated that he did not want to cause further embarrassment to the party and chose to leave his membership.

The new documents also include bank records showing that Epstein made three separate payments totalling $75,000 to accounts linked to Mandelson in 2003 and 2004, with each payment amounting to $25,000.

Norwegian diplomat's derogatory remark on Indians revealed in Epstein files:Terje Rød-Larsen says, 'When you meet an Indian and a snake, kill the Indian first'
https://www.bhaskarenglish.in/internati ... 05224.html

The US Justice Department has made public more than 3 million files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. As these documents come to light, the hidden truths of several powerful and influential people are being exposed.

Among these documents is an email dated December 25, 2015, written by Norwegian diplomat Terje Rød-Larsen. In the email, he made a derogatory remark about Indians, comparing them unfavourably to snakes.

According to the documents, Epstein had forwarded Larsen an email from an Indian leader. In response, Larsen allegedly wrote, “If you meet an Indian and a snake, kill the Indian first.”

Claims say Epstein was gifted sacred cloth from Mecca’s Kaaba:Sent by UAE businesswoman, touched by 1cr Muslims
https://www.bhaskarenglish.in/internati ... 02887.html
Newly released files linked to American sex offender Jeffrey Epstein show that three pieces of sacred cloth of the Kaaba in Mecca were sent to the US in 2017. The parcels were delivered to Epstein’s home in Florida.

According to the documents, the shipment was arranged in February and March 2017 by Aziza Al-Ahmadi, a UAE-based businesswoman, along with Abdullah Al-Mari from Saudi Arabia.

Emails say the items were parts of the Kiswah- the black cloth with gold embroidery that covers the Kaaba. The Kiswah is considered holy in Islam, and millions of Muslims touch it during the Hajj pilgrimage.

The emails do not explain how Al-Ahmadi knew Epstein or why these sacred items were sent to him. No clear reason is given in the documents.

Ahmadi had sent a religious message to Epstein

In an email to Epstein, Al-Ahmadi highlighted the religious importance of the cloth. He wrote,

"The black piece has been touched by at least ten million Muslims. Sunnis, Shias, and other Muslims. They circumambulate the Kaaba seven times and try to touch it. They leave their prayers, tears, and hopes on this cloth, so that their wishes may be granted."

In another email, Epstein’s long-time assistant Lesley Groff sent a DNA testing kit to Al-Ahmadi. The reason for sending the kit is not clear.

Makes sense. Pretty sure these pedophiles dabbled in occult and certain masonic rituals. They seem to have accumulated certain ancient artefacts from India as well...can @bala piece some of the information together.. look at origins of theosophy as well !!

There is a leadbeater chap who wrote extensively around this around 18th century, also talks of a new country
