Bezos verdient net als Peter Thiel ook lekker aan de Gaza Genocide

Amazon
The Israeli military publicly admitted to using Amazon Web Services (AWS) to enhance its capabilities during its war on Gaza, along with Google and Microsoft cloud services.

Of these three companies, Amazon reportedly has the closest relationship with the Israeli military.

Israeli military intelligence uses AWS servers to store masses of intelligence information on almost everyone in Gaza.

Since 2021, Amazon has been providing cloud services to the Israeli government under Project Nimbus, a $1.2 billion contract it shares with Google. It provides cloud services to all branches of the Israeli government, including the military, the Israeli Security Agency (Shabak/"Shin Bet"), Police, and Prison Service; weapons manufacturers Israel Aerospace Industries and Rafael (see above); and government agencies related to Israel's illegal settlement enterprise in the occupied West Bank.

So far three Republican senators, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, Rand Paul of Kentucky, and Thom Tillis of North Carolina, have voted against opening debate on the bill. They are allowed to change their votes until the vote is formally closed, but all three men have been dug in all day against the legislation. Party leaders can only afford to lose three defections. If those three senators hold firm in their opposition, and no other Republicans join them, Vice President J.D. Vance will need to cast a tie-breaking vote to clear this procedural hurdle.

quote:

Vice President JD Vance has arrived at the Capitol, ready to cast a tie-breaking vote. But party leaders are still waiting for five Republicans to cast their votes: Mike Lee of Utah, Rick Scott of Florida, Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Eric Schmitt of Missouri.

quote:

The scene on the floor as Republicans hunt for enough votes to bring this bill up for debate counts as high drama in the Senate. We are now 90 minutes into a vote that was supposed to last for 15 minutes, and it’s not clear whether this motion will succeed or fail.

Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, who has not voted yet, is speaking intently on the Senate floor with the majority leader, Senator John Thune of South Dakota, as well as the finance committee chairman, Mike Crapo of Idaho, and the budget committee chairman, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina. Murkowski has been on the fence, and the latest version of the bill includes several Alaska-specific measures to make it more palatable to her.

quote:

Senate Republican leaders overnight tucked into the legislation a slew of measures that appeared to be aimed at winning the support of Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, including an exemption for her state from new work requirements for food assistance. Several provisions have been added that would funnel federal dollars to Alaskan health care providers. It is unclear whether that will be enough to win her vote.

quote:

After much haggling on the Senate floor, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, has voted in favor of opening debate on the bill. In order to clear this procedural hurdle though, Republican leaders still need the votes of three conservative Republicans who have not yet cast their votes: Rick Scott of Florida, Mike Lee of Utah, and Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming.

quote:

Senator Mike Lee, Republican of Utah, said on social media that he is dropping his controversial plan to sell millions of acres of public lands from the domestic policy package.

quote:

President Trump unleashed a broadside targeting Senator Thom Tillis, Republican of North Carolina, after he voted against opening debate on the party's domestic policy legislation. Tillis had said the package would "result in tens of billions of dollars in lost funding" for his state. Trump said on social media that Tillis was seeking publicity "for a possible, but very difficult Re-Election."

Trump also said he would meet with candidates seeking to challenge Tillis in a primary election. The senator is up for re-election in 2026.

quote:

The three conservative GOP senators who were withholding their votes just walked to the Senate floor and voted in favor of opening debate on the bill, after huddling extensively with party leaders.

quote:

Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, who initially voted to block opening debate on the bill, has changed his vote.

quote:

The Senate has voted 51 to 49 to open debate on the legislation, clearing a key procedural hurdle. They ultimately did not need Vice President JD Vance to cast a tiebreaking vote.

Ze leveren een clouddienst voor opslag en die wordt ingekocht.
Bij Amazon en ook bij Google en Microsoft.

Zo lang dat niet verboden is doen die bedrijven wat de aandeelhouders willen: Winst maken.

Lijkt mij logisch, of het ethisch is is denk een andere vraag.

Ik snap echt niet dat er geen regels zijn tegen het indienen van stukken net voor de stemming. Wie is (zijn?) die senate parliamentarians? Is daar al een crash-out tegen geweest?

quote:

An important role of the parliamentarian is to decide what can and cannot be done under the Senate's budget reconciliation process under the provisions of the Byrd Rule.[2] These rulings are important because they allow certain bills to be approved by a simple majority, instead of the sixty votes needed to end debate and overcome a filibuster.

Intercepted call captures Iranian officials saying U.S. attack was less devastating than expected

The United States obtained intercepted communication between senior Iranian officials discussing this month’s U.S. military strikes on Iran’s nuclear program and remarking that the attack was less devastating than they had expected, said four people familiar with the classified intelligence circulating within the U.S. government.

The communication, intended to be private, included Iranian government officials speculating as to why the strikes directed by President Donald Trump were not as destructive and extensive as they had anticipated, these people said. Like some others, they spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive intelligence.
