"As long as the Iranians can still get oil out, but the rest can't, it's 100% leverage on the Iranian side." At the same time, the Strait of Hormuz is also "the Iranians' Achilles' heel...If the Iranians are also hindered, "it will be a matter of days before the regime is completely bankrupt".

Hannah Altman Launches Exhibition at House 88 Retracing The Journey of Holocaust Victim Lore Sternfeld "Altman’s images imagine Sternfeld’s inner world during the final winter of her life and retrace her path from Berlin to Auschwitz on the 83rd anniversary of her deportation..."

Islamism, terrorism, and diverted German state funding in Yemen: Today WELT AM SONNTAG (part of Axel Springer, by @LennartPfahler) exposed the biggest fraud scandal in the history of GIZ — roughly Germany's USAID. GIZ ran projects — over €100M since 2015 in Yemen — inside territory held by the Houthis, the Iran-backed, US-designated terror group of the slogan: »God is great, death to America, death to Israel, a curse upon the Jews, victory to Islam«. The Houthis are part of Tehran's »Axis of Resistance« alongside Hezbollah and Hamas, armed and trained by Iran's IRGC-Quds Force. Their US terror status reflects how serious the threat is. As a warring party they have a lethal record: a 2022 drone strike on Abu Dhabi; since October 2023 they have launched hundreds of missiles and drones at Israel — one close to the US Embassy branch office in Tel Aviv (July 2024) — and attacked 100+ ships in the Red Sea. GIZ decisions were coordinated with SCMCHA, the Houthi body that, per the Counter Extremism Project (@FightExtremism), controlled who got hired, what got approved, and who received aid. An audit had urged cutting ties with the Yemen Kuwait Bank — later US-sanctioned for Houthi money laundering and transfers to allied terror groups. GIZ allegedly kept dealing with it. Internally GIZ's management board now calls it »systematic, organized fraud.« A projected loss in the double-digit millions had sat with the management board since mid-2023 — yet was withheld from the supervisory board until last week, a body whose shareholder side is staffed by state secretaries from five federal ministries and budget politicians of the Bundestag. Yet the management board is obligated to provide the oversight body with all the information it needs to meaningfully supervise the conduct of management. The development aid ministry also approved the destruction of project files, according to the WELT report. On political responsibility: the critical Yemen projects ran for years under development aid minister Gerd Müller (CSU, 2013–2021) and GIZ chief Tanja Gönner (CDU, until 2022). Today, GIZ chief Thorsten Schäfer-Gümbel (SPD) and development aid minister Reem Alabali-Radovan (SPD) bear the responsibility. 👉 Where did the money end up — and did any reach a US-designated terror group or its financial network? @StateDept @StateSEAS @gwupoe @FPJaySolomon @laraburnsPoE @ISGAP @daliaziada @jerusalemcenter

Today we launch Ground Glass, a powerful new exhibition by photographer Hannah Altman at ARCHER at House 88. Inspired by the life of Lore Sternfeld—a gifted young Jewish precision mechanic whose life was cut short at Auschwitz—Altman uses restored lenses originally made by Astro Berlin during Lore’s time there to imagine her inner world and retrace her deportation journey from Berlin to the death camp. At House 88, the former home of Auschwitz commandant Rudolf Höss, visitors are invited to see the world through Lore’s eyes—and to reflect on the human stories that extremism sought to erase. counterextremism.com/press/new-exhi…

Opening tomorrow, a must-see exhibition at House 88: Ground Glass Photographer Hannah Altman retraces the journey of Lore Sternfeld (1915-1943) from Berlin to the Auschwitz death camp.

Ground Glass honors Lore Sternfeld (1915–1943), a Jewish lens-maker at a company that supplied the optics of Nazi propaganda before her deportation, and murder at Auschwitz. Through restored lenses of the kind Lore made, photographer Hannah Altman envisions her inner world and retraces her path from Berlin to the camp before concluding at the former home of its commandant, Rudolf Höss, where the exhibition now opens. A study of embodiment, imagination, remembrance, and witness — and how they work within and around the mechanisms of propaganda.
