The United States Department of Defense has demanded the retraction of a newspaper report alleging that a broker for defence chief Pete Hegseth attempted to make a large investment in weapons companies in the run-up to the war on Iran.Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell demanded the “immediate” retraction on Monday after the Financial Times reported that a wealth manager for the defence secretary contacted BlackRock about making a multimillion-dollar investment in a defence-related fund in the weeks leading up to the war.Hegseth’s broker at Morgan Stanley ultimately did not go ahead with the investment in the exchange-traded fund, whose holdings include Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman, because it was not yet available for purchase at the time, the Financial Times reported, citing three unnamed sources.“This allegation is entirely false and fabricated. Neither Secretary Hegseth nor any of his representatives approached BlackRock about any such investment,” Parnell said in a post on social media.“This is yet another baseless, dishonest smear designed to mislead the public.”Hegseth and his department “remain unwavering in their commitment to the highest standards of ethics and strict adherence to all applicable laws and regulations”, Parnell said.Al Jazeera could not independently confirm the Financial Times report.“We stand by our reporting and have included a Pentagon spokesperson’s response in the article,” a Financial Times spokesperson said.
>>1501847The Defense Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment sent outside of usual business hours.BlackRock declined to comment. Morgan Stanley did not immediately respond to inquiries.The report comes amid scrutiny of well-timed trades in financial and prediction markets that have prompted speculation that figures with insider knowledge may be profiting off of US President Donald Trump’s war plans.While the Financial Times reported that the attempted investment by Hesgeth’s broker did not go ahead, the defence chief would not have made money on such a purchase in the month since the war began.While the iShares Defense Industrials Active ETF has risen more than 25 percent over the past year, it has fallen nearly 13 percent since the US and Israel launched strikes on Iran on February 28.https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2026/3/31/pentagon-denies-hegseths-broker-sought-defence-investment-before-iran-war
Israel has backed down after Italy led international condemnation of the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem Pierbattista Pizzaballa being denied access to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre on Sunday. Premier Giorgia Meloni described the incident on Palm Sunday as "an offence not only to the faithful but to any community that respects religious freedom" and Deputy Premier and Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani ad summoned Israel's ambassador to Rome over it. After the move, which had been justified for security reasons amid the Iran war, triggered widespread outrage, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Pizzaballa would have "full and immediate access" to the church, the holiest site in Christianity. In a statement released on Monday, the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem and the Custody of the Holy Land confirmed that "the matters concerning the Holy Week and Easter celebrations at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre have been addressed and resolved". It said that, in agreement with the Israel Police, access for representatives of the Churches has been secured for liturgies and ceremonies to preserve the ancient Easter traditions at the church. "Naturally, and in light of the current state of war, the existing restrictions on public gatherings remain in force for the time being," read a joint statement. "Accordingly, the Churches will ensure that the liturgies and prayers are broadcast live to the faithful in the Holy Land and throughout the world. "We express our sincere gratitude to His Excellency Mr. Isaac Herzog, President of the State of Israel, for his prompt attention and valued intervention".https://www.ansa.it/english/news/politics/2026/03/30/israel-backtracks-after-italy-leads-outrage-at-denied-access-to-holy-sepulchre_06f95e8b-74c1-4abe-b723-fb31eb0295b4.html
>>1501847>>1501848Hegseth has a news conference in a few hours. I wonder if this topic will be brought up and cause him to melt down again.>>1501849It's a bit late now to allow him access now. Palm Sunday was days ago.
>>1501850>Hegseth has a news conference in a few hours. I wonder if this topic will be brought up and cause him to melt down again.Naah he melted down over the pope's comments and literally started praying on the podium for Jesus to keep US troops safe.
>>1501859Is he Catholic now?
>>1501863According to google:>No, Pete Hegseth is not Catholic. He is a member of theCommunion of Reformed Evangelical Churches (CREC), an archconservative, Calvinist-affiliated denomination. He has attended the Pilgrim Hill Reformed Fellowship in Tennessee and has strong ties to Christ Church in Moscow, Idaho, which is led by pastor Doug Wilson.You'd think he was catholic by the 'Deus Vult' tattoo but apparently not.
>>1501867He’s larping as some kind of Nazi propaganda crusader defending the west from the brown hordes. It’s extremely mixed up and retarded
>>1501867>by the 'Deus Vult' tattooLogical with the Calvinist view of predestination that God would will it.
>>1501931It’s misappropriation. Get your own motto
>>1501932Catholics crying about stealing iconograohy is hilariously ironic poor little choirboy, did the priests tell you all their ideas were original? lmao
>>1501948I’m not Catholic. I’m just saying it’s misappropriation, tells you a lot about the character of a man who gets a misappropriated tattoo. Are Christians even supposed to be allowed tattoos?
>>1502079Yeah we can get tattoos. Most avoid the Jerusalem Cross because its used a lot by white supremacist groups though.

>>1502110I suppose that’s the new swastika then
>>1502110No, you can't get tattoos, leviticus specifically forbids them, and Jesus didn't come to change that law but to fulfill it.Do you think getting a tattoo is good? I mean, I don't care about it, but it's not good behavior. If you get a tattoo, you don't get anything for Christmas that year.
>>1502163Meh, it's iffy. Tattooing was a sign of slavery so it's up in the air.
>>1502175And it's in the air because that passage mentions gashes in your skin for the dead. Sounds like it's speaking to some self mutilation ritual.If it forbids tattoos, maybe it forbids circumcision too.
>>1502175>>1502176It's leviticus 19:28NIV: “‘Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the Lord."King James: Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the Lord.So no. That isn't ambiguous. It doesn't forbid circumcision/self mutilation. It forbids cutting your body for the dead specifically in both versions, which implies deliberate scarring and body alteration as a tribute. Pretty sure some places still do that in tattoo shops; I know they do branding.
>>1502224>leviticusThe arrival of Jesus fulfilled the OT covenant. His blood wiped the slate clean for mankind. All those rules no longer apply. This also means evangelicals and their zionist faggotry are way out of line.

>>1502262So God's unchanging objective morality changed, and Jesus was bullshitting in Mathew 5 when he explicitly says he didn't come to change the law but to fulfill it.>See he said he fulfilled it.And then he goes on to give examples of commandments, and talk about how you still have to follow them.... because we don't have to follow the law anymore because he fulfilled it... an idea that makes sense at all...?Funny, it isn't until way later in acts it's implied Jesus was the 'end' of the law. Almost sounds like a biblical contradiction. Almost sounds like you have one source that is claimed to be the literal son of God, and another source that contradicts it later for convenience because of someone had a hallucination in the desert.So we need to acknowledge this is debated withing Christianity, or this becomes a bad faith discussion. It's dishonest to imply all Christians agree on this matter and hold your opinion specifically.
>>1502617>And then he goes on to give examples of commandments, and talk about how you still have to follow them....He doesn't give commandments, he gives commands to his followers, which are not the same as the 10 Commandments from Moses in the OT. None of which forbid tattoos. Acts 15:1-29, Galatians 5:2-4. Ritualistic observance of the Old Law doesn't actually matter. Only your faith in God matters. This is literally why the Pharisees crucified Jesus too, they were pissed he was taking away their power by pointing out legalistic nonsense doesn't matter to the Father.>It's dishonest to imply all Christians agree on this matter and hold your opinion specifically.Being a Christian requires acknowledging Christ as the Son and as God, which necessitates acknowledging the OT covenant was fulfilled with his sacrifice. If you still believe you need to adhere to the Old Law to be saved then you're explicitly denying Jesus's presence and role.
