Washington has reportedly prevented an “imminent” strike against an American aircraft

The US military and Yemen’s Houthi rebels have made dueling claims of successful strikes in their ongoing battle over Red Sea shipping lanes.

The latest salvos included a US airstrike targeting a Houthi missile in Yemen that was reportedly prepared to launch. The Houthis later claimed an “accurate and direct” missile strike against a cargo ship in the Red Sea.

The US Central Command (CENTCOM) said the surface-to-air missile was struck and destroyed on Wednesday afternoon in a Houthi-controlled area of Yemen. American forces targeted a Houthi launch site after determining that the missile “presented an imminent threat to US aircraft,” CENTCOM said. The command did not specify the missile’s location. The Houthis reportedly confirmed the US strike and said it was in the northern Yemeni city of Saada.

Houthi spokesman Yahya Saree said “several appropriate naval missiles” were deployed in striking the KOI merchant vessel. He identified the ship as American and said it was heading to Israel. The Liberian-flagged container ship is registered to London-based Oceonix Services Ltd., which reportedly has ties to a unit of US banking giant JPMorgan Chase & Co.

Saree said the merchant ship was targeted a few hours after the Houthis launched missiles against the USS Gravely destroyer in the Red Sea. CENTCOM previously said that the USS Gravely had shot down a cruise missile over the Red Sea on Tuesday night.

The latest strikes come amid an escalating conflict between US forces in the Middle East and various militant groups in the region. The Houthis and other militias have reportedly carried out hundreds of attacks against US military assets and shipping interests since the Israel-Hamas war began in October.

The Houthis “will confront the American-British escalation with escalation and will not hesitate to carry out comprehensive and effective military operations in retaliation to any British-American foolishness against beloved Yemen,” Saree said. All US and UK ships in the Red and Arabian Seas are “legitimate targets,” he added, and the Houthis will continue to fight in solidarity with “the oppressed Palestinian people.”

White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told reporters on Wednesday that the “Iranian-backed” Islamic Resistance in Iraq was responsible for a drone strike that killed three US troops and wounded more than 40 on Sunday. He said a multi-faceted US response is being prepared, but he reiterated the claim that the administration of US President Joe Biden seeks to avoid a wider war with Iran.

Alex Jones shares his thoughts on the latest undercover footage from OMG

Alex Jones shares his thoughts on the latest James O’Keefe undercover report, this time exposing a top White House advisor who admitted Biden’s mental state is kaput and that the administration wants to boot Kamala Harris but are afraid of firing the first black female to serve as VP.

Both Jones and tech entrepreneur Kim Dotcom pointed out the video highlights a glaring security risk considering O’Keefe easily got the Biden insider to gossip while hardly wearing a disguise.

Jones said, “Can you imagine what foreign intelligence agencies are able to do? This is beyond a national security crisis because America’s been hijacked by globalists that want World War Three. This is a global crisis of incompetence now displayed at a level never before seen.”

“Imagine what professional foreign spies can achieve when James O’Keefe disguised with nothing but glasses and a homosexual demeanor can get someone from the White House executive office with top security clearance to sing like a bird,” wrote Kim Dotcom.

O’Keefe revealed the White House advisor, Charlie Kraiger, has deleted multiple social media accounts.

However, O’Keefe shared archived versions of Kraiger’s now-deleted accounts.

ESG investments have lost their luster given high interest rates, political backlash, and greenwashing scrutiny

These days, ESG investments have lost their luster given high interest rates, political backlash, and greenwashing scrutiny.

In 2021 during the pandemic boom, U.S. sustainable funds hit a record $358 billion in assets, up from $95 billion in 2017. But since then, investor interest has waned as higher borrowing costs impact capital-intensive clean tech stocks.

This graphic, created by Visual Capitalist’s Dorothy Neufeld, shows the drop in sustainable fund flows—often considered an indicator of investor sentiment—based on data from Morningstar.

Slowing Demand

In 2023, investor appetite cooled for sustainable investments, as fund flows notched their worst year on record.

Overall, flows sank $13 billion as fund performance lagged behind conventional funds. Adding to this, concerns surrounding the murkiness of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) ratings were put under the spotlight.

As ESG pushback intensified in U.S. politics, at least 165 anti-ESG bills were introduced in 2023. Politicians have claimed that ESG criteria negatively impacts financial returns, but evidence behind that is mixed.

While sustainable funds underperformed traditional funds in 2023, a separate study showed that ESG portfolios had as much as 6% excess returns annually compared to benchmark indexes between 2014 and 2020.

ESG Investments: A Closer Look

One key aspect of ESG funds is whether they hold investments that align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Globally, 542 funds with $125 billion in assets are associated with at least one of these objectives. [This table] shows the top five SDGs, by ETF assets under management (AUM).

We can see that Climate Action is the highest overall, with companies held in these ETFs making commitments to lower emissions and advance sustainability.

For instance, Home Depot has cut electricity use by over 50% since 2010 in U.S. stores, and aims to use renewables for all of its electricity by 2030. In addition, Microsoft has committed to this goal through a number of initiatives, including providing access to clean water to over one million people across Indonesia, Brazil, India, and Mexico in 2023.

While investor interest has slowed, 35% of advisors said they used ESG funds last year, based on a Journal of Financial Planning survey. As the industry matures, it remains to be seen if ESG investments will see a resurgence, especially if interest rates fall in the coming years.
