As the United States withdrew militarily from Afghanistan in August, US TV news interest in the plight of the country’s citizens spiked, often focusing on “the horror awaiting women and girls” (CNN Situation Room, 8/16/21) to argue against withdrawal (FAIR.org, 8/23/21). Four months later, as those same citizens have been plunged into a humanitarian crisis due in no small part to US sanctions, where is the outrage? Experts warned of an impending humanitarian crisis in the wake of the US withdrawal (IRC, 8/20/21). In recent months, the messages have become more urgent. A UN report (10/25/21) warned that “combined shocks of drought, conflict, Covid-19 and […]

As a kid growing up in Mumbai, India, Chintan Pandya wasn’t a fan of vegetables. Like many youngsters around the world, his unwillingness to eat his greens presented a challenge for his parents—but his mother was undeterred by his picky eating habits. She had one foolproof trick up her sleeve to get her son, now chef and partner at New York restaurants Adda Indian Canteen and Rahi, to eat his daily dose of veggies. She hid them in his bowl of upma. A breakfast or brunch porridge made from semolina flour, spices and veggies, upma (pronounced oop–mah) is filling, but not […]

Osama Bin Laden’s niece, Noor Bin Ladin, posted a statement commemorating the 9/11 attack on Friday, honoring the memory of the victims and urging to remember the tragedy. “For the past nineteen years, not a day has gone by since this horrible, tragic day that I haven’t […]
While there’s nothing that would give me more sheer joy than to have all of our bars safely open again and full of people laughing and chatting and holding forth, their eyes artificially bright, their grins a little lopsided, and all of their troubles parked outside where they can’t bother anyone, the reality is that’s not going to happen any time soon. In the meanwhile, we can sit outside, a little nervously, and hope for the best, or we can take those lovely drinks home and sip on them in the same space we’ve been doing everything else in since the […]
Bitcoin’s often criticized for its volatile and unpredictable nature – now analysts are saying that, and more, about the pound sterling. In a shock-inducing note to clients on Tuesday, currency analysts at Bank of America (BoA) said sterling had devolved into an emerging market currency in all but name during the four years since the U.K. voted to leave the European Union. Sterling’s movements in the past four years has been “neurotic at best, unfathomable at worst,” said lead analyst Kamal Sharma, a notable GBP bear, in a report by the Financial Times. Sterling’s spreads and implied volatility – the future […]
By Dr. Francois Roby for VT It’s no news to VT readers that the World Trade Center demolition on 9/11 was nuclear. However it’s no news either that a vast majority of people outside of VT readers are still reluctant to entertain or even believe this very idea. Now it’s time to go mainstream, thanks to Heinz Pommer and the Ground Zero Model (GZM). Yes, it’s now possible! The GZM relies solely on physics laws, which you’ll understand even if you’re not a physicist or an engineer. Because it’s not rocket science, but simple laws you can experience in everyday life. […]
Last week, former Vice President Joe Biden told the world that he “unequivocally” denied accusations by Tara Reade, a former staffer in his Senate office, that he sexually assaulted her in the early nineties. On Friday evening, Reade responded: prove it. “Joe Biden should take the polygraph,” Reade told former television anchor Megyn Kelly, in an interview that aired on Kelly’s YouTube channel. “I will take one if Joe Biden takes one, but I’m not a criminal.” In the interview, Reade’s second on-camera appearance since she accused Biden of sexual assault in March, she told Kelly that she wanted Biden to […]
