A former Special Forces commando made millions of dollars carrying out assassinations for the United Arab Emirates, new court documents claim.
Abraham Golan, a mercenary allegedly behind a botched plot to kill a member of Yemen’s House of Representatives, has been named a defendant by Anssaf Ali Mayo, who barely escaped death at Golan’s hands, the papers allege.
In August 2015, Golan, along with former Navy SEAL Issac Gilmore, started Spear Operations group in Rancho Santa Fe in San Diego.

While Canadian universities drown in cancel culture, identity quotas and self-censorship, the University of Austin delivers excellence
Few Canadians have heard about the University of Austin but that may change as the university’s experiment in the post-secondary environment continues.
This writer visited the university in the Texas capital in March and spoke with the president, his academic and staff colleagues, and a student who stepped away from exam time to share her perspective on the school. It was clear that all were attracted to UATX by a commitment to innovation in post-secondary education.
The case of Noelia Castillo, a 25-year-old Spanish woman who died by euthanasia, has opened another line of conflict between the Trump administration and Europe, as Washington has ordered a formal inquiry into the Spanish government’s handling of the case, according to a leaked diplomatic cable obtained by the New York Post.
According to the alleged cable, the US State Department instructed its embassy in Madrid to investigate what it described as ‘serious concerns’ over ‘systematic human rights failures’ surrounding Castillo’s case.
The Iran war requires a “serious” approach that does not change every day, Emmanuel Macron has said, in an apparent reference to US President Donald Trump’s seemingly contradictory remarks about the conflict.
“This is not a show. We are talking about war and peace and the lives of men and women,” the French president told journalists upon arrival in South Korea for a state visit.
“When you want to be serious you don’t say every day the opposite of what you said the day before,” Macron added.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford says “it’s unacceptable” that Stellantis is reportedly in talks with a Chinese automobile manufacturer about the possibility of building Chinese electric vehicles in Canada at its idled Brampton assembly plant.
A report by Bloomberg News says the alleged talks are with Zhejiang Leapmotor Technology, a Chinese automobile manufacturer with headquarters in Hangzhou, China.
A recent poll reveals that 67% of French people see “anti-white racism” as a reality in France today.
Conducted by the CSA Institute for CNEWS, Le JDD, and Europe 1, it shows that France is divided on the question. While the majority of those polled acknowledges the phenomenon, voters on the left largely reject the idea: 64% of those supporting the far-left La France Insoumise and 72% of Green party supporters disagree with the hypothesis.

David Hicks has been trying to get rid of his father’s rifle — but hasn’t had much luck telling the federal government that.
“It’s very frustrating,” said the Ottawa man. “If they’re going to do it, they need to do it properly.”
Executor of his father’s estate, Hicks has been trying to declare the semi-automatic firearm he inherited with the Liberal government’s banned gun compensation program. He wants to be in compliance with the law — and get some money for his widowed mother.

The federal government should consider a one-to-two-point increase in the GST and slower growth in non-defence spending to finance a massive jump Canada’s military budget, according to a new report from the C.D. Howe Institute.
“Some combination of tax increases, spending cuts, or taking on more debt is required,” wrote authors Colin Busby and Nicholas Dahir.
The analysis warns that meeting Canada’s commitment to raise defence spending to five per cent of GDP by 2035 will require “hard fiscal choices,” including potential GST hikes and tighter limits on non-defence programs.
Before invading all of Ukraine in 2022, President Putin demanded the withdrawal of Nato forces from member states that were once part of the Kremlin’s sphere of influence.
Such a move would have left countries such as Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland more vulnerable to a Russian attack. Nato itself would also have been weakened, perhaps fatally. Unsurprisingly, the military alliance rejected Putin’s ultimatum.
Four years on, President Trump has given Putin hope that his demands might, at least partially, be met. Furious that Nato members in Europe will not assist the US attack on Iran, Trump said on Wednesday that he was “absolutely” considering withdrawing from the alliance.
