Reconstruction of the Shahid Mirzaei tunnels on the Bandar Abbas–Hajiabad highway in southern Iran is progressing after US missile strikes destroyed the stone structures at their entrances and exits, according to Hormozgan road authorities.
Abbas Sharfi, director-general of Hormozgan’s Road Maintenance and Transportation Department, reported the latest progress during an inspection of the reconstruction project on Wednesday.
Sharfi said the US missile strikes on July 18 had completely destroyed the stone structures at the tunnels’ entrances and exits, prompting authorities to mobilize technical and construction teams to repair the damage.
“Following the incident, reconstruction work was launched, with technical and construction teams mobilized to repair the damaged sections and ensure safe passage along the Bandar Abbas-Hajiabad highway,” he said.
Reconstruction of the outbound route has reached 55 percent, while work on the inbound route is 75 percent complete, Sharfi noted, with both directions expected to be restored by the end of Azar (late December) this year.
The work was continuing “with a focus on repairing the damage to the tunnel structures and restoring safe traffic conditions” along the key route, he stressed.
The damage was not limited to the tunnels. US attacks on July 26 and 27 damaged nine bridge structures on major roads across Hormozgan Province, disrupting several key transport links.
In September, Sharfi said repairs to eight of the nine damaged bridges were expected to be completed by the end of that month, while work on the remaining bridge was scheduled for completion by late October. … Full article

Yemeni missiles fired at Saudi Arabia are destroying oil facilities and airports across the country – drawing particular international outrage was the ballistic missile attack on Terminal 3 of King Khalid Intl. Airport, an attack that killed 13 and left another 307 injured. As is usually the case, the corporate media starts the clock where it chooses instead of looking at the context, a similar tactic that is used when reporting on Palestine.
On October 10, a missile fired by the Yemeni missile units of Sana’a’s Ansarallah-led government caused a mass casualty event at Riyadh’s main international airport. It then drew broad condemnation from governments around the world, grabbing headlines across the corporate media.
The Saudi-led coalition’s spokesman, Maj Gen Turki al-Maliki, then called the attack a “full-fledged war crime” and said that striking a civilian airport was a “cowardly terrorist attack”. The UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres also weighed in and expressed his shock at what he called a violation of international law, urging the attacks to stop.
However, Guterres and various government officials never commented on Saudi Arabia’s airstrikes against Sana’a Intl. Airport on July 13, which broke the years-long ceasefire between Yemen and Saudi Arabia. Nor did Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who himself ordered airstrikes on Sana’a Intl. Airport in the Yemeni Capital of Sana’a last year. … continue

Irish novelist Sally Rooney has agreed to the withdrawal of her books from the UK market after her support for Palestine Action created legal obstacles to the payment of royalties under British terrorism legislation.
Rooney, the bestselling author of “Normal People” and “Conversations With Friends”, said her publisher, Faber, had concluded that continuing to distribute her work in the UK could expose those involved to criminal liability. The decision was made with her agreement following consultations over the legal implications.
Palestine Action was designated a “terrorist organization” by the UK government in July 2025. The following month, Rooney publicly declared that she intended to continue supporting the group and direct proceeds from her book sales towards it. The organization remains legal in the Republic of Ireland, where Rooney is based. … continue

An Israeli digital advertising agency helped run an espionage campaign using a vast network of online ads to track targets and hack their devices, Reuters reported on 15 October, citing two research groups.
Reports from Canadian cyber watchdog group Citizen Lab and New York advertising security firm Confiant document how the Israeli advertising agency Discover-Tech placed millions of ads online each day for ordinary products such as phones or earpods.
Discover-Tech placed the ads using the advertising services of Google, Comcast, Yandex, and other search engines.
The Israeli ad agency could identify and track internet users who visited websites or used apps with the malicious ads, and at times obtained phone numbers from smartphone users.
Clicking on the ads was not required to allow users to be tracked. … continue
Palantir says little here, while the unanswered questions do plenty of talking.
By Ken Macon | Reclaim The Net | October 15, 2026
Private messages of people in the EU, scanned by tech companies under the temporary “Chat Control” law, end up being analyzed with Palantir’s software, an investigation by Swedish journalist Arvid Grange has found.
The US law requires these companies to send the tips to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC), and that organization has now confirmed that it runs every report through Palantir’s Foundry. Not a single one of the lawmakers and experts interviewed for the report was aware that this was the case.
The scanning of private communications in the EU was made possible by a law that was first introduced as temporary in 2021, and that has since been extended twice, most recently in July, to April 2028. The companies that are scanning for images and videos in people’s messages are Google, Microsoft, Snap, and Meta, but the EU law does not specify who these companies can share the data with.
It turns out that it ends up in a US database built on software made by Palantir, a company with roots in the CIA and a history of working with governments. […]
German MEP Lukas Sieper, who voted against the latest extension of the EU law, said he was not surprised that the data ended up being handled by Palantir, which he described as “George Orwell’s worst nightmare.” … Full article

The Israeli army is running a special unit that monitors Palestinian social media across the occupied West Bank and uses social media posts it deems “incitement” as grounds for night raids and arrests, Israel’s Channel 12 reported on 12 October.
Israeli forces have arrested 215 Palestinians through the unit so far in 2026, while more than 600 have been arrested and put on trial since its establishment in October 2023, at the start of the genocide in Gaza, for allegedly spreading “terror content” and expressing “sympathy for terrorists,” including support for Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.
“Whoever praises an attack, lauds an attack, presents Hamas as the solution or raises terror symbols, we know how to get to him,” a source in the Israeli military’s Central Command told the channel.
Over the past week alone, Israeli forces stormed around 70 sites the military brands as “incitement” targets in the occupied West Bank, in operations it says were aimed at so-called “incitement infrastructure.”
Troops also carried out more than 1,000 operations, field interrogations, and warning visits against Palestinians the military accuses of involvement in “terrorism,” while dismantling some 30 signs, symbols, and statues commemorating slain Palestinians. […]
Israeli occupation authorities have extended the campaign to Palestinian charitable and financial institutions, shutting down more than 24 charities it accuses of promoting and financing “terrorism.”
Additionally, Israeli troops shut down more than 40 currency exchange shops and seized large sums of money that the military claims were intended to fund “terrorism.” They also sealed printing presses accused of producing “incitement.” … Full article

A NEW FREEDOM FLOTILLA, led by the aptly named Tenacity, set sail from Bristol, UK in September and headed for Gaza in yet another attempt to break Israel’s siege and blockade of Gaza.
A significant percentage of the ship’s passengers and crew—whose countries of origin include Denmark, Norway, Spain, Ireland, France, the United Kingdom, the United States and Palestine (currently residing in Sweden)—have been kidnapped, detained and tortured by Israeli soldiers on previous Gaza-bound solidarity missions. Nevertheless, they are determined to challenge Gaza’s isolation.
Captain Tomás Alberto Moraté Serna, who hails from Spain, is the captain of the Tenacity. He was kidnapped, brutalized, tortured and deported by Israel in April 2026. He explained that he is back for the same reasons he joined the Gaza mission in the first place: “I am not happy with what I see in the world, and I need to do my part” to transform it. … continue

The Likud and Religious Zionism parties announced the measures on 15 October, claiming they wished to prevent fraud in voting and vote counting.
The parties issued a statement claiming “a long series of fraud incidents” occurred in previous election campaigns.
It said party activists will be assigned based on a fraud-risk map and trained to respond to violations of voting procedures and irregularities in the count.
According to the Times of Israel, no previous evidence of widespread voter fraud in Israel has been found. … Full article
An Insight Into Israel’s Genocidal Society
By Justin K.P. | The Dissident | October 13, 2026
In Israel’s upcoming election, allegations that various candidates supported a charity that supported Palestinian children with cardiac diseases has become a major political scandal.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s main propaganda channel in Israel, Channel 14, put out a hit piece on the Israeli parliament candidate, Yoseph Haddad, which claimed he once supported a charity that helped Palestinian children and played this off as a major political scandal.
The article accused Yoseph Haddad of supporting “an Israeli association that worked extensively for Palestinian children, many of them from Gaza, Judea and Samaria, and even from Syria,” which it said “does not correspond with the concept of voluntary immigration”, the Israeli euphemism for genocidal ethnic cleansing of Palestine.
On the TV version of Channel 14, Yishai Friedman, the author of the article, lamented that Haddad apparently “helped children of enemy countries get to the hospital”.
Most disturbingly, Yoseph Haddad responded to the report by boasting about how genocidal he is, boasting that his report on the charity was simply “intended to promote Israeli propaganda” and was part of his effort “to plant messages in favor of Israeli propaganda” and that, in reality, he supports “ the occupation and full military rule of the Gaza Strip”. … Full article
Truths about Israel
ILANA MERCER’S FPV Resistance | October 13, 2026
What Israel has done, is doing, to Gaza has not sprung ex nihilo from October 7.
Genocide is not a situational counter-response to aggression. It’s a coming-out event of sorts.
Differently put: There are no legitimate antecedents to genocide. Genocide is not a “war crime” to which a set of mitigating or exculpating legal defenses can attach.
Genocide is a stand-alone indefensible crime—“the blackest of all crimes”—for which there are no extenuating circumstances and to which no traditional legal defenses attach.
Ethnocide, depopulation, domicide and daily mass murder can never be explained away or exculpated using argument from law, ethics or history. … continue

Among the provisions JINSA takes credit for is the controversial Section 219.

American comedian Jerry Seinfeld responded with mockery and an onstage dance when pro-Palestinian activists interrupted his Chicago performance on Friday, confronting him over Palestinian children killed in Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
Footage circulated by Chicago Palestine solidarity groups recorded several interventions during the performance. Protesters challenged Seinfeld’s public support for Israel and accused him of racism and complicity in genocide.
One confrontation occurred while Seinfeld was discussing his frustration with his cellphone service.
A woman interrupted to express her frustration with the genocide, citing 74,000 Palestinians killed, including 22,000 children, and questioning his decision to make jokes while US taxpayers funded Israel.
“I’m racist, it’s a genocide, I’m into it,” Seinfeld responded, according to the Times of Israel.

A four-month investigation by Declassified UK has identified a British man who fought with the Israeli occupation army in Gaza and found evidence linking him to a unit involved in the destruction of residential buildings and an incident involving a school that was set on fire.
Jonathan Burman, a Manchester native in his mid-20s, posted photographs on his private Instagram account showing himself serving with the Israeli occupation army in Khan Younis early in the Gaza war, according to the exclusive investigation published by Declassified UK.
Newly obtained photographs show Burman standing beside another soldier in front of a burning primary school in Gaza. The images were posted in January 2024, around six weeks after Israeli forces entered and took control of the school.
The investigation comes after a UN commission said Israeli soldiers who fought in Gaza after October 2023 should be considered potential suspects in war crimes investigations. … continue

The Foreign Ministry has again summoned Britain’s ambassador to Tehran, demanding that London promptly provide evidence for, what it calls, allegations linking Iran to an alleged security incident at RAF Fairford and warning that Tehran could reconsider bilateral relations if Britain failed to substantiate its claims.
Hugo Shorter was summoned to the ministry on Tuesday, with Alireza Yousefi, Iran’s assistant foreign minister and director general for the ministry’s Western Europe Department, conveying Tehran’s strong protest at Britain’s “irresponsible and damaging approach” towards the Islamic Republic.
Yousefi categorically rejected the allegations, stressing that British officials could not evade accountability or their international responsibilities over London’s anti-Iranian efforts by rather trying to shift blame onto Iran using unfounded accusations.
He cited Britain’s direct involvement in US-Israeli military aggression against Iran – referring, among other things, to Washington’s using the airbase in Gloucestershire to support the aggression – as well as Britain’s longstanding hosting of anti-Iranian terrorist groups and operatives. […]
The development followed remarks by British Prime Minister Andy Burnham, who recently claimed that a suspected plot against RAF Fairford was “almost certainly” directed by the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC). He also said Britain would “bring further sanctions to restrict the capacity of Iran and the IRGC to do us harm.”
British authorities arrested several men near the military facility in late September on suspicion of “terrorism and explosives offences.” The suspects were subsequently released on bail, while no conclusive evidence linking Iran to the incident had been publicly presented. – Full article

British Prime Minister Andy Burnham’s attempt to blame Russia for the Brexit vote is a crude attempt to undo the referendum and tie the UK back to Brussels. It’s also imploding dramatically.
In an appearance on the ‘The Rest is Politics’ podcast on Sunday, Burnham said that he sought answers about alleged meddling in the 2016 Brexit referendum after taking office this summer.
“I asked the question coming to Downing Street: Well, was there interference in the 2016 referendum from Russia? I’ve had the clear answer that yes, there was.”
Burnham did not identify who had provided the assessment or present any evidence to back it up. Nor did he say whether the alleged interference actually affected the result of the referendum. However, he insisted that anti-establishment movements in Britain, France, and Germany – where Chancellor Friedrich Merz has claimed that the right-wing AfD are “Russian-backed” – are “instigated via our enemies, namely Russia.” … continue

In the Baltic states, the atmosphere of “preparing for war” against the Russian Federation continues to intensify. Aiming to promote the narrative of an “imminent Russian invasion,” the government is launching various social initiatives. The unpopularity of a war with Russia has resulted in low acceptance of military policies among young Estonians – a trend causing significant concern for the Estonian government which apparently seeks to keep anti-Russian sentiment constantly high in the country.
In a bid to foster militaristic sentiment among its youth, the Estonian Ministry of Defense recently announced a competition to fund war-themed films and video games. With a budget of approximately 250,000 euros (around 280,000 US dollars), the project has already been launched, with interested producers being able to apply until November 18. Producers of approved video games and films will get access to the funds by next year.
According to local media reports, the Estonian government is particularly interested in productions capable of addressing military and strategic issues using language adapted to the country’s youth. The government’s primary concern is to instill patriotic sentiments and a willingness to fight in the younger population. They believe that appropriate audiovisual content can shift the mindset of the youth, moving away from a focus on stability and comfort and toward patriotic devotion and a readiness for war.
Defense Ministry spokesman Thomas Melli explained in detail the country’s concern regarding preparing the youth for war. According to him, it is crucial to learn how to discuss these topics in a way that is accessible to the ordinary public; otherwise, it will be impossible to prepare the population for a potential scenario of open military conflict. … continue

The most remarkable thing about the rapid demise of the U.S. is that when it hits the bottom of the ocean floor economically, it will be in a better state than the EU. The panic among EU leaders, in particular Ursula von der Leyen, is breathtaking. Barely a week passes before she makes another crackpot policy announcement, gives herself a salary increase, or makes a statement about needing to give even more money to Ukraine. But in recent months these announcements have become more radical and existential, and we are seeing a new dawn now in the EU where the only solution to cover up the feral spending and borrowing is to fabricate a war with Russia and then blame Putin for the whole fiasco.
Every now and again we get a sober reminder about the economic situation of the U.S., EU and Russia. The recent news that Putin is going to sell around 2 million tonnes of diesel oil to “global markets” (as U.S. media phrases it), the lion’s share going to the U.S. before, during and just after the midterm elections in a bid to stabilise the price to help Trump.

The EU should shift to “war-mode” military production, Polish Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz has said, arguing that failing to do so would be a costly mistake for Europe.
The defense minister made the remarks at a press conference on the sidelines of the Warsaw Security Forum on Tuesday. The conference has primarily revolved around the supposed threat Russia poses to the EU and the measures the bloc should take.
“I am actually an advocate for war-mode when it comes to production in the defense sector,” he said, claiming that Russia has already taken this approach and the EU “cannot overlook this fact.”
Failing to do so would be a costly mistake and would not only put the EU at a disadvantage now, but would “affect [the bloc] negatively in future generations,” Kosiniak-Kamysz said.

‘NO TURKS – ALL OUT’
Remix News | October 11, 2026
Prosecutors have opened an investigation into a local Christian Democratic Union (CDU) mayoral candidate of Turkish origin who is accused of staging a racially motivated attack on his own car days before an election he lost badly.
The Itzehoe public prosecutor’s office is examining allegations that Baris Karabacak faked the incident, according to the German newspaper Bild. Authorities obtained and executed a search warrant against the politician and seized at least one electronic device. […]
This is also notably not the first alleged hate crime hoax from a German politician. In 2023, Remix News reported on Manoj Subramaniam, a 33-year-old former local Green councilor in the German town of Erkelenz, who claimed he had been subjected to sustained acts of harassment by anonymous right-wing extremists. He showed police evidence of the abuse he had received, which included a threatening letter with a razor blade inserted and a swastika drawn onto his vehicle in red paint. […]
The investigation into the early 2026 firebombing of Brandenburg Antisemitism Commissioner Andreas Büttner’s home stunned the public.
While the case was initially treated as an Islamist or antisemitic hate crime, the German Public Prosecutor General’s Office now identifies two men from Büttner’s “own circle,” which belongs to the left, as the primary suspects.
One of the men is also linked to the threatening letter sent to Büttner. Meanwhile, Büttner said he was shocked and described it as the biggest betrayal of his life. He also stated that if the two were responsible, the act had nothing to do with antisemitism in his view. So far, the prosecutor’s office has continued to list Büttner as a witness or injured party, not a suspect. News outlets have highlighted that there was a €3,000 transfer from Büttner to one of the men shortly before the incident, which he called a loan, and other joint activities.
These details prompted public questions and speculation in some outlets about possible staging or a “false-flag” element, but no official finding has supported the claim that Büttner ordered or knew of the act in advance. The case still reportedly remains under investigation. – Full article

The latest turn in Russia-US relations has shocked Kiev, outraged the EU, provoked discontent among a considerable number of politicians in the US, and left many observers around the world perplexed.
The Trump administration’s sudden decision to suspend sanctions on Russian diesel supplies appears to contradict its recent actions, including the adoption of tough new sanctions legislation intended to increase pressure on Moscow, and while some attribute the reversal to US President Donald Trump’s unpredictability, others see the beginnings of a new policy, or evidence of a fundamental change in the administration’s approach to Ukraine.
To understand what’s happening, however, we must look beyond the peculiarities of the US president’s public behavior. Trump’s extravagance, which frequently borders on the absurd, often conceals a relatively clear set of objectives, but whether those objectives are sensible is another question. … continue

For four years, Europe presented its energy break with Russia as a strategic and moral necessity, with Brussels expanding sanctions, promising to cut Moscow’s revenues and preparing a complete ban on Russian liquefied natural gas. Yet European companies bought more LNG from Russia’s Yamal project in the first nine months of 2026 than in the same period of 2025.
EU ports received a record 12.18 million tonnes of Yamal LNG between January and September 2026, an increase of 9.5% over the same period in 2025. The gas arrived in 167 cargoes, roughly one every 1.6 days. The EU received 85% of Yamal’s recorded deliveries by volume even as the project’s worldwide shipments fell by 1.3%.
Urgewald, a German environmental and human rights organisation, placed the estimated benchmark value of those deliveries at €7.88 billion, using cargo volumes and monthly European TTF gas prices rather than disclosed contract payments. European leaders spoke of economic separation while EU ports remained the destination for a multibillion-euro Russian LNG trade. … continue

In September 2026, Ansar Allah, derisively labeled as the Houthis in Western foreign policy circles, redrew the map of western Yemen in a matter of days. Its fighters swept down the Red Sea coast, seized Mocha on September 10, then pushed through Dhubab and took Mayyun Island at the heart of the Bab el-Mandeb strait the following day, consolidating control over Yemen’s entire Red Sea coastline and roughly 5,400 square kilometers of newly gained territory. Yemen’s Saudi-backed government answered on October 4 when Presidential Leadership Council head Rashad al-Alimi announced Operation Dawn of Yemen, vowing to keep fighting until the country was “liberated from the grip of the terrorist militia,” with 100 Saudi coalition fighter jets providing air cover and Ansar Allah firing missiles at targets inside the kingdom in response.
Washington reached for a familiar script. Secretary of State Marco Rubio branded Ansarh an Iranian proxy, and Tehran fired back on September 9. Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei wrote on X, “Marco Rubio’s lies cannot replace facts.

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has ignored allegations of “very well-documented” NATO war crimes brought before it, former Libyan Information Minister Moussa Ibrahim has told RT.

MOSCOW – Russia believes that the use of force by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in Lebanon grossly violate international law, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Monday.
At a press conference with Lebanese Foreign Minister Youssef Raji, Lavrov said that they discussed Israel’s ongoing actions in Lebanon, adding that Moscow has reaffirmed its position in support of Lebanon’s sovereignty, unity, and territorial integrity.
“Of course, we are committed to our assessments that the military actions of the IDF, the Israeli army, grossly violate the norms of international law and provoke an additional escalation of tensions in Lebanon,” Lavrov said.
This was part of a broader discussion of the situation in the Middle East, the Russian minister said.
“We certainly discussed the situation in the region and examined issues related to developments in the Gulf, in and around Syria, and, naturally, in Palestine, where Israel’s actions are a source of particular concern, as they create facts on the ground that directly contradict the UN resolution on the establishment of a Palestinian state,” Lavrov said.

Saba also reported that “Saudi aircraft carried out an airstrike on a residential building in the center of Al-Turbah city in Al-Shamaytayn district, southern Taiz province, causing extensive damage.”

An Iraqi anti-terror resistance group has urged the Saudi leadership to acknowledge the failure of the military option and completely lift the blockade on Yemen.
Kata’ib Hezbollah, in a statement released on Monday, said the operations carried out by Yemeni Armed Forces are in reprisal for Saudi Arabia’s brutal onslaught and siege against their homeland, and in defense of their dignity and fundamental rights.
It noted that Iraqi people from every walk of life and resistance factions stand by Yemen, describing the Yemeni cause as a just cause that requires solidarity and support as it confronts Riyadh’s US-Israeli-backed atrocious assaults.
Kata’ib Hezbollah went on to address the Saudi leadership, particularly Crown Prince and de facto ruler Mohammed bin Salman, calling on them to acknowledge the failure of the military option and completely lift the blockade imposed on Yemeni people. … continue

Sanaa’s government said it has kept all main roads leading into and out of Taiz open and secure, warning Saudi forces against blocking access to the city and imposing a siege on its residents.
Government spokesperson Omar al-Bukhaiti renewed the warning against continued road closures and attempts to besiege Taiz residents to deepen their suffering and exploit it for media purposes.
Al-Bukhaiti accused the Saudi forces of closing roads and obstructing the movement of civilians and the transport of food, medicine, and other essential supplies, noting that they openly announced, through their own media outlets, the closure of 19 key roads and crossings in Taiz Governorate, while targeting civilian vehicles on roads with airstrikes and artillery shelling.
“We call for keeping densely populated Taiz out of any military escalation, prioritizing the public interest, and preventing further bloodshed,” he asserted.
The statement follows the Sanaa government’s declaration that it is prepared to reach a reciprocal arrangement to spare humanitarian sites amid the ongoing conflict with Saudi Arabia. The government also reiterated its rejection of attempts to impose an occupation. … continue

Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council (SNSC), Major General Mohsen Rezaei, has dismissed the United States’ partial concessions regarding Tehran’s seven conditions for resolving the ongoing war as “inadequate.”
In a post on X, Rezaei acknowledged that Washington has agreed to some of the conditions outlined by the Islamic Republic, but stressed that the response falls far short of Tehran’s demands.
“Iranian diplomacy has changed, and there will be no return to the status quo ante,” he declared, signaling a fundamental and permanent shift in how Tehran engages with Washington, demanding full compliance rather than incremental or half-hearted concessions.
In a second post, Rezaei eviscerated the US administration’s strategic competence and the origins of the war.
He stated that US President Donald Trump, “deluded by the fantasy of conquering Iran, launched one of the most idiotic wars in human history after being duped by Netanyahu.” … continue

On October 7, 2026, a front-page New York Times headline vaunted “Trump’s Retreat.” It wasn’t referring to Mar-a-Lago or Epstein Island.
The full headline, complete with subhead, reads:
“Trump’s Retreat: From the Gulf to Britain, American Forces Pull Back. A war that was intended to demonstrate the reach of American power has now done the opposite. It is a lesson in unintended consequences.”
The “war that was intended to demonstration the reach of American power” was, of course, Trump’s ill-fated attack on Iran that began last February 28. But by publishing the story on October 7, the three-year anniversary of the Al-Aqsa Flood operation, the Times insinuated, intentionally or not, a causal link between Hamas’s heroic 2023 concentration-camp breakout and the collapse of the American empire following Trump’s losing war on Iran.
What the Times did not come right out and say, of course, is that the US has bled itself dry fighting losing wars for Israel, and that the October 7, 2023 provocation set off Israel’s long-planned US war on the last of the “seven countries in five years” that 9/11 was designed to “take out.” … continue

MOSCOW – London and Brussels are developing plans to blockade the Baltic Sea and the straits leading to it, Russian presidential aide Nikolai Patrushev said on Monday.
“Western countries are trying to organize interceptions of our ships. London and Brussels are developing plans to blockade the Baltic Sea and the straits leading to it,” Patrushev said during talks with Chinese Transport Minister Liu Wei in China.

The number of people living in acute poverty worldwide has risen for the first time since the global index was introduced in 2010, reaching 1.2 billion, according to a report released Monday by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative.
The 2026 report recorded 51.5 million more people experiencing acute poverty than in the previous year. UNDP Administrator Alexander De Croo described the increase as a “wake-up call for the world.”
“Behind these figures are 1.2 billion people facing hardships that reinforce one another: hunger, missed schooling and a lack of clean water or electricity. This is unacceptable,” he said in a press release.
Children account for more than half of those living in acute poverty, highlighting the scale of deprivation affecting younger populations. … Full article
