🌎 There is a new regional bloc being solidified in Latin America seeking to challenge Monroe Doctrine. Some compare it to a South American EU or USSR. There are several organizations involved such as the Foro de São Paulo, CELAC, and the Puebla Group. For the moment, it has ties to both China, and the US. In reality, they are competing for influence within the region.
Brazil's leftist leader, Lula da Silva, said that if he won the 2022 presidential election, "we are going to create a currency in Latin America," called the SUR (South), to combat "dependence on the dollar."
In 2020, Lula published a call “ For a multipolar world ”. He explained that his goal is "the creation of a multipolar world, free from unilateral hegemony and sterile bipolar confrontation," which allows for "a true refounding of the multilateral order, based on the principles of true multilateralism, in which international cooperation truly can prosper."

🇷🇺❌🇲🇩 Ziarulnationalmd | New documents leaked from the FSB show the plans Russia had for Moldova.
According to an investigation done by RISE Moldova, an investigative-journalism paper which aims to reveal corruption schemes in the country, the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) elaborated a document about the political situation in Moldova and came to the conclusion that: "Moldova is being subverted and controlled by foreign agents acting in the interests of the West, first and foremost in the interests of Romania and the United States".
The report raised the alarm of the high likelihood that the "Sandu regime" will take over the state institutions and destroy the pro-Kremlin opposition which will then allow the "regime" to install a military blockade of Transnistria and begin blackmailing Russia.
To prevent this, the FSB analysts came up with 3 scenarios for the "Moldovan issue" :
⚫️ The creation of a land bridge in Southern Ukraine which should extend to and reach Transnistria and after reaching the enclave, recognise it's independence.
⚫️ The conquest of the Republic of Moldova in it's full entirety.
⚫️ Placing military units on the internationally recognised Moldovan borders without recognising Transnistrian independence.
In the author's opinion the first and last scenarios come with the risk of losing control of the rest of Moldova and in the 2nd scenario, the authors were worried that they'll have to deal with the "collective screams of the West" and the subversive and hostile actions of the locals.
The authors then suggest that Moscow take another approach. They suggest that Russia play a waiting game to further it's influence in Moldova and propose a "new public contract" which the Moldovans should implement via a referendum, meaning that Russia should create and build new political parties and movements which should lobby for Moldova's admission into the Russian Federation or any other strategies and programs favorable to Moscow, all done in the name of benefiting the Moldovan people.
The analysis also mentions the possibility of creating a government-in-exile and volunteer battalions for the Russian war effort in Ukraine.

🏥 Russian-language channel Kahlo says: "My dears, now we are all, to put it mildly, in difficult times.
Every day we are plagued by shocks of all kinds - most of which are the target of a carefully planned information campaign.
Like it or not, we all ended up as protagonists of the information war. Moreover, everyone reacts to it differently: someone stops sleeping at night, someone, on the contrary, cannot wake up.
Someone wins and loses battles every day in their own thoughts, and someone in the same place - died long ago.
It has long been known that in order to win, it is necessary to throw the enemy into confusion. It is from confusion that you run the risk of losing control of yourself and admitting defeat.
After all, as it says in the "Hagakure", a treatise on bushido?
Caught in a sudden downpour, you do not want to get wet and run to the house. But, having reached, you notice that you are still wet. If you decide from the very beginning not to quicken your pace, you will also get wet, but you will avoid confusion. The same should be done in all similar circumstances.
Together with some of my subscribers, among whom there is a psychiatrist and several psychologists, I have prepared for you a small memo on how to still protect your mind and peace of mind. Or at least start your fight."

"Silencing a Revolution"
The EU is undertaking an intelligence gathering operation against nationalists and other "far-right" groups.
European Union Commissioner for Transparency and Values, Vera Jourova, has announced that the European Union, partnering with national governments, is drawing up "assessments of the terrorist and right wing extremist threats" to the public.
This announcement and the actions being taken by the European Union come after the United States shared an intelligence report with the Commission which outlined supposed Russian gifts of cash, material and crypto currency to far-right groups, think-tanks and politicians.
This is clearly not about 'terrorism'.
The European Union has already established that its political modus operandi for the coming harsh winters of 2022-2023 will be to blame Russia, silent dissent, and has recommened using COVID-19 restrictions as a cover to keep people from gathering to protest in the streets.
White-Europeans require political alternatives, leadership and brotherhood more than ever.
In the face of massive popular unrest due to deindustrialisation, possibly food shortages and unafforable electricity and petrol bills there is no telling what the European Union and memberstate governments may do.

Why this is noteworthy:
Well, this is the same flag that was raised upon the Jamkaran Mosque after the assassination of General Qasem Soleimani, which was subsequently followed by Iranian missile strikes on US bases in Iraq.
We can probably expect something soon, considering the heavy symbolism that comes with raising this flag.
Besides that, IRGC Generals have been making frequent direct threats to Saudi Arabia, the intellectual supervisor of ISIS, in recent days.

🐦 🇿🇦 🇺🇸 Musk's Twitter Roils With Hate Speech as Trolls Test New Limits
Hateful and racist rhetoric swelled on the network as some politicians rejoiced. ‘Free speech. Liberal tears.’
In the wake of Elon Musk buying Twitter Inc., a tide of slurs and racist memes swelled on the platform, sparking concern that the site is entering an era of hateful speech.
Twitter has long wrestled with how to enforce content policies fairly on its platform in order to appease the advertisers, users and powerful world leaders that use its service. But as Musk, a self-styled “free speech absolutist,” took over ownership of the company, some conservative officials, partisan extremists and conspiracy peddlers saw reason to celebrate the change.
“It seems like this is a group of people who think the rules magically changed as soon as he signed on the dotted line,” said Katie Harbath, the chief executive officer and founder of Anchor Change and former public policy director at Facebook.
Dr. Rebekah Tromble, director of the Institute for Data, Democracy, and Politics at George Washington University, said as soon as Musk took control of Twitter, online trolls began encouraging each other to push the boundaries on Twitter.

Today, the Kiev regime carried out a terrorist attack against the ships of the Black Sea Fleet & civilian ships that were on the outer & inner roadsteads of the Sevastopol base. The attack involved 9 unmanned aerial vehicles & 7 autonomous maritime drones.
It should be emphasised that the ships of the Black Sea Fleet that were subjected to terrorist attacks are involved in ensuring the security of the ‘grain corridor’ as part of an international initiative to export agricultural products from Ukrainian ports.
Representatives of this unit from the British Navy were involved in plotting, organising, and implementing of the terrorist attacks in the Baltic Sea on the 26th of September this year, to blow up the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines."

🇲🇩 The Washington Post reports that the Russian security services have launched an operation meant to overthrow the pro-Western government in Moldova.
Transnistria, the enclave occupied by Russian troops that controls the power station supplying the remaining 70 percent of the country’s electricity needs, this week said it was sharply reducing those volumes because of cutbacks to the Gazprom gas supply, leaving Moldovan authorities desperately scrambling to make up the deficit. “Every bomb that falls on a Ukrainian power plant is a bomb that falls on the Moldovan electricity supply as well,” said Nicu Popescu, Moldova’s foreign minister.
Officials fear that the Shor-organized protests, though relatively small for now, could escalate once winter hits and that an energy crunch could be used to topple the government.
“After Ukraine, Moldova is the one we’re focusing attention on,” said one Western official.

🇭🇹 The head of the Rally of Progressive National Democrats, Eric Jean Baptiste, was assassinated in Haiti. The car which the politician was traveling in was fired upon by unknown persons believed to be members of a local gang.
The murder took place in the Laboule 12 neighborhood controlled by the Ti Makak group.
It was involved in the murder of the director general of the Public Enterprises for the Promotion of Social Housing (EPPLS) and former senator Yvon Buissereth, who was killed and then burned in August 2021 with his driver in his car. Several police officers were killed in the same area after confrontations with gang members.
Eric Jean Baptiste has already escaped an assassination attempt on Oct. 1, 2018. The businessman and politician is the head of a foundation that provided support to schools, universities and people in Haiti affected by natural disasters and the pandemic.
This crime should demonstrate the gangs’ growing influence in Haiti. In particular, the G9 Gang has been blockading the Varreux fuel terminal since September in response to the government's plan to cut fuel subsidies and to demand the resignation of Prime Minister Ariel Henry.
Or this might be a mere attempt to create an excuse to intensify foreign intervention.

In a move that could risk infuriating Russia, nuclear weapons could possibly be positioned in Finland if the country's application to join NATO is approved, according to a report from a Finnish newspaper.
Both Finland and Sweden submitted applications to join NATO in May, in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. According to the Helsinki-based newspaper Iltalehti, the bill regarding potential NATO membership the Finnish government will put before parliament doesn't include any opt-outs for nuclear weapons.
Foreign policy insiders told Iltalehti this means NATO nuclear weapons could transit through, or be based on, Finnish territory. Additionally, there are no restrictions on establishing NATO bases in the country

Politico reports, citing various sources familiar with the issue, that U.S. officials told NATO allies during a closed-door meeting that an upgraded B61-12 air-dropped gravity bomb initially scheduled to be transported to Europe next Spring, will now arrive this December.
Pentagon spokesman Brig. Gen. Patrick Ryder told the outlet the “modernization of US B61 nuclear weapons has been underway for years and plans to safely and responsibly swap out older weapons for the upgraded B61-12 versions is part of a long-planned and scheduled modernization effort.”

The first such reactor will be built by the 🇺🇸 American company NuScale on the site of a former coal power plant in Dâmbovița County near the village of Doicești. The company claims that the former employees of the power plant will be able to work in the new plant that is going to be built.
The state owned company, Nuclearelectrica, received a 14 million dollar grant from the US government and together with NuScale will begin the construction. The plan was announced by President Joe Biden last summer, and the new reactor should produce a total of 462 MW per year, enough to replace a coal based power plant. 6 more reactors are planned to be built across Romania.

🇺🇸 Intruder Assaults Nancy Pelosi’s Husband in Their San Francisco Home
Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband, Paul Pelosi, was hospitalized after he was assaulted by someone who broke into the couple’s residence in San Francisco early on Friday morning, a spokesman for Ms. Pelosi said.
“Early this morning, an assailant broke into the Pelosi residence in San Francisco and violently assaulted Mr. Pelosi,” Drew Hammill, the spokesman, said in a statement on Friday. “The assailant is in custody and the motivation for the attack is under investigation.”
Mr. Hammill said Mr. Pelosi, 82, was expected to make a full recovery. Ms. Pelosi was not in San Francisco at the time of the attack, he said.
“The Speaker and her family are grateful to the first responders and medical professionals involved, and request privacy at this time,” Mr. Hammill said.
The couple have owned a three-floor red brick townhouse in San Francisco’s exclusive Pacific Heights neighborhood since 1987. In January 2021, after Congress passed a stimulus bill, their home was vandalized with graffiti, and a pig’s head was left on the sidewalk. The vandalism occurred before the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
In the months since that attack, members of Congress from both parties have experienced a surge in threats and confrontations, including stalking, armed visits to their homes and assaults. The motive for the attack on Mr. Pelosi was not clear on Friday morning, and there was no immediate indication that the attack was politically motivated.
The San Francisco Police Department and the Capitol Police did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

🇬🇾 — Sam Hinds: Guyana’s GDP to double by 2027 thanks to offshore oil boom
Guyana has long been an anomaly. South America’s only English-speaking republic, it’s also the continent’s emptiest country—with only 800,000 people inhabiting an area the size of England.
But now, as recent massive discoveries of offshore oil come onstream, long-impoverished Guyana has a new claim to fame. This year its GDP will expand by an astounding 57%, making it the world’s fastest-growing economy. Crude oil exports alone will generate $1 billion, according to Gobind Ganga, governor of Guyana’s Central Bank.
“This is historically the largest amount of revenue we will earn from any single sector this year. This is very obvious with the price of oil today,” Ganga told AP last month.
Representing Guyana here is Ambassador Sam Hinds. At 78, he’s one of the oldest envoys on Embassy Row. Yet in a recent interview with the Washington Diplomat, Hinds said he never expected to end up as ambassador—especially after serving as both president and prime minister of his little-known country.

🇬🇾 🇺🇸 Exxon strikes oil again in Guyana with two new discoveries
Exxon Mobil Corp (XOM.N) has made two new discoveries at the Sailfin-1 and Yarrow-1 wells in the Stabroek block offshore Guyana, the oil major said on Wednesday, adding more barrels to one of the most closely watched new oil discoveries.
Exxon did not disclose how much crude oil or gas it estimates the new discoveries to contain, but it also hiked a previous output forecast for the third quarter from older discoveries in the region.
Guyana amounts for one third of the crude discovered in the world since Exxon first hit oil in the country in 2015, according to Rystad consultancy firm
Exxon and its partner Hess Corp (HES.N) said that the Liza Phase 1 and Phase 2, the first projects sanctioned offshore Guyana by the two companies, are producing above capacity and achieved an average of nearly 360,000 barrels of oil per day (bopd) in the third quarter.
The companies expect total production from Guyana to cross a million barrels per day by the end of this decade.

At a conference on Thursday, Russian President Vladimir Putin declared the island of Taiwan belongs to China and asked “why did that old woman to go to Taiwan,” referencing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to the island earlier this year. Putin’s remarks come as he has sought closer ties with China and made efforts to change the current Western-dominated geopolitical world order.
Putin spoke at a conference on Thursday hosted by the Valdai Discussion Club, a Russian think tank. As his conference-remarks stretched on into the three-hour mark, Putin said “Taiwan is indubitably an inherent part of the People’s Republic of China and this is the position we’ve always adhered to.”
Putin went on to say “all provocative gestures, such as the visits to Taiwan by the U.S.’s highest dignitaries are seen in Russia as nothing but a provocation.”

🇺🇸 🇨🇦 🇭🇹 High-level Canadian delegation visits Haiti as U.S. seeks to convince Canada to lead force
As U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in Ottawa Thursday hoping to convince Canada to take the lead in helping Haiti confront criminal gangs blocking the flow of fuel and food from its seaports, Canadian officials announced that they were conducting an assessment mission in the Caribbean country.
Canada’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Mélanie Joly said a high-level Canadian delegation is currently in Port-au-Prince to consult with Haitians and others in the international community on how Canada can help restore access to essential goods and services amid escalating gang violence and a deepening humanitarian crisis.
“Canada and the international community are concerned about the violence in Haiti, in particular against women and girls,” Joly said. “Canada will not remain idle while gangs and those who support them terrorize Haiti’s citizens and we will continue to support law-abiding Haitians to put an end to the crisis in their country.”
Earlier this month, Haiti’s interim government launched an international appeal for help and requested the deployment of a specialized armed force to help the police take back control of the ports and access roads from the gangs. The issue is a sensitive one in Haiti, where many Haitians are asking when will help arrive and others are opposed to the idea of foreign troops.

But as U.S. officials hold out hope for Security Council passage, they are also planning contingencies for a multilateral force that would enter Haiti without formal U.N. authorization. A fact-finding delegation from Canada, which has been holding conversations about the request, is expected to visit Port-au-Prince this week to discuss the crisis.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken also is planning to visit Canada on Thursday and Friday with Assistant Secretary of State Brian A. Nichols, where he will meet with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Minister of Foreign Affairs Mélanie Joly. Haiti is among the topics high on the agenda.
Canada has been speaking to members of the Caribbean community about the request from Haiti’s government — supported by Guterres — for a rapid reaction force to immediately be deployed to help the Haiti National Police. But while Joly and Trudeau have publicly pushed for sanctions against those fueling the violence, they have been mum about whether they would be willing to lead a force, despite their ongoing financial support and training of the Haiti National Police.

🇨🇱 🇺🇸 Texas Goes Permitless on Guns, and Police Face an Armed Public
Far from an outlier, Texas, with its new law, joined what has been an expanding effort to remove nearly all restrictions on carrying handguns. When Alabama’s “permitless carry” law goes into effect in January, half of the states in the nation, from Maine to Arizona, will not require a license to carry a handgun.
The state-by-state legislative push has coincided with a federal judiciary that has increasingly ruled in favor of carrying guns and against state efforts to regulate them.
But Texas is the most populous state to do away with handgun permit requirements. Five of the nation’s 15 biggest cities are in Texas, making the permitless approach to handguns a new fact of life in urban areas to an extent not seen in other states.
“It seems like now there’s been a tipping point where just everybody is armed,” said Sheriff Ed Gonzalez of Harris County, which includes Houston.
Recent debates over gun laws in Texas have not been limited to handgun licensing. After the elementary school shooting in Uvalde, gun control advocates have pushed to raise the age to purchase an AR-15-style rifle. And after the Supreme Court struck down New York’s restrictive licensing program, a federal court in Texas found that a state law barring adults under 21 from carrying a handgun was unconstitutional. Gov. Greg Abbott has suggested he agreed, even as the Texas Department of Public Safety, which oversees the state police, is appealing.
Rachel Malone, of Gun Owners of America, outlined some of her group’s priorities for the next legislative session.
“I think it would be appropriate to move the age for permitless carry to 18,” she told the committee. “There’s really no reason why a legal adult should not be able to defend themselves.”

Anonymous: I've seen this play out twice in my lifetime. CIG | #commentary
The military goes through periods of expansion and contraction. Towards the end of the Reagan Era they were readying themselves for what was to become post Cold War force reductions. There used to be 300k troops in Germany in the 80s, by the 90s it became common for bases in the US to close down. They figured out the best way to reduce overmanning is to make the job annoying, to shake out those most likely to quit. An entire generation of men waited 40 years for War in Central Europe that never came, so when they came home all these militias popped up. To deal with the militias they pulled the illegal gun trick, sawed off shotguns being an inch too short, etc. When empires lack an outside enemy they get pulled inwards.
We learned just how destabilizing a rapid blow off is after WWI with the Bonus Army and War Plan White.
>War Plan White (also known as Emergency Plan White) was a United States color-coded war plan originally created in 1919 to deal with a domestic uprising in the US. Originally drafted by the War Plans Division of the War Department General Staff (WDGS)[1] it later evolved to become Operation Garden Plot, the general US military plan for civil disturbances and protests. Parts of War Plan White were used to deal with the Bonus Expeditionary Force in 1932.
After WWII their solution was to basically maintain an occupation of Germany, Japan and then the Korean War happened. The War on Terror fulfilled a similar role by dragged people out of retirement. Old, purged officers were invited back. The drawdown of the 90s was over, until it happened again under the Obama Administration. It was shit back in 2012-2013. Obama had the morality police coming around, they destroyed all our units' heritage things. Basically made life hell trying to drive people out, forcing people into early retirement. Started the trend that even minor offenses could doom your career preventing reenlistments. They were purging contracts overseas as well, so like not wearing your badge in the right place would get you fired and sent home.
Basically anytime there is a planned manpower reduction they make life hell, find reasons to purge people, etc. So it's to be expected, it was more a political purge last time but it's the same old cycle. They did not seem to be expecting an actual outside threat this quick so now they are unfucking things like in the 2000s. Basically recruitment called this guy now and said they could make the FBI go away and pay him to rejoin and this will be the case until the next cycle, unless they want another few decades of Cold War 2.0 MIC buildup.

Im getting flooded with tips right now.
Here's a scoop: a man I know who was discharged from the military and harassed by the FBI for being a "neo-Nazi" three years ago was contacted by a warrant officer the other day begging him to reenlist in exchange for $30,000 dollars and a complete wipe of his record. If he took the deal, he was asked to close all of his internet activity down and sign an NDA to not reveal this.
Does the Pentagon and DoD know military recruiters are doing this? What happened to purging white "extremists" from the military? 🤣🤣🤣

🌍 🇹🇷 Africa is a new market for Turkish defence firms; defence and aerospace exports to the continent are rising, from $83 million in 2020 to $288 million in 2021. Turkish companies have sold various equipment and armoured vehicles to 14 African nations: Burkina Faso, Algeria, Chad, Morocco, Ghana, Kenya, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Somali, Rwanda and Uganda
Accordingly with military base diplomacy, Turkiye has reportedly set up a web of 37 military bases across Africa in total, in line with Erdogan's affirmed goal of tripling the annual trade volume with the continent to $75 billion in the coming years. Ankara already has a military base in Somalia, and Morocco and Tunisia reportedly took their first delivery of Turkish combat drones last September.

🇹🇷 🇪🇹 Turkish drones are destroying Ethiopia’s promise of peace
The Telegraph has labelled the conflict in Ethiopia’s Tigray region as the ‘Great War of Africa’ and the ‘deadliest war in the world’. It is on track to be the bloodiest and most costly conflict of the new millennium, yet it has failed to grab major headlines.
First, the use of armed drones undermines one of the key forces motivating a resolution to any conflict: cost aversion. Drones will likely not permit a Clausewitzian culminating victory over the TPLF, particularly given their guerrilla tactics. However, they do allow Abiy to score cheap, regular tactical victories, reducing the incentive for negotiations while forcing his insurgent opponents deeper underground. Tragically, the inevitable terrorist retaliations will likely target Ethiopian civilians as much as ENDF personnel.
In addition, given both the TB2’s range and the TPLF’s inability to counter aerial vehicles, previously salient borders between TPLF-controlled and ENDF-controlled territories are becoming blurred. No longer safe within Tigray, TPLF fighters are encouraged to move into neighbouring regions such as Amhara, widening the conflict’s zone of devastation while Eritrea, Somalia and Sudan contribute greater resources to the war.
ENDF drone strikes have already prevented aid providers from providing much-needed food, water and medical services to victims of the violence, famine and human rights abuses, compounding the crisis and pushing East Africa closer to the point of no return.

“We would never leave these areas to a group like HTS,” a Turkish official with knowledge said. “All these speculations and conspiracy theories are utter nonsense.”
However Turkish sources say they may use the incident to finally reorganise the Syrian National Army, which is ridden with constant infighting and criminal incidents.
Formed out of 28 Free Syrian Army groups, the SNA gradually became an umbrella organisation composed of 41 different military groups, that receives Ankara's support and has fought alongside the Turkish Armed Forces in Turkey's operations in Syria.
'The SNA is fighting with each other every day, everywhere. It doesn't matter whether here or anywhere else'
- Afrin administrator.
Turkish security sources say a single command and a single army will be forthcoming, although many attempts to create one previously have been futile. The reorganisation will exclude HTS as it is not part of the SNA.
The sources said all the groups and components under the SNA will be disbanded under the new plan.

Allan Savory is a Zimbabwean ecologist, livestock farmer, and president & co-founder of the Savory Institute.
"He is known for advocating a holistic approach to resource management through systems thinking. Holistic planned grazing is similar to rotational grazing but differs in that it more explicitly recognizes and provides a framework for adapting to the four basic ecosystem processes: the water cycle, the mineral cycle including the carbon cycle, energy flow and community dynamics (the relationship between organisms in an ecosystem), giving equal importance to livestock production and social welfare. Holistic Management has been likened to "a permaculture approach to rangeland management"."

🧈 🫒 Seed (Vegetable) Oils: The Main Reason Americans are Fatter & Sicker than Ever
“The Hateful Eight” as they’ve become to be known:
Soybean
Canola (aka Rapeseed [wtf kind of name is this lol])
Corn
Sunflower
Safflower
Cottonseed
Grapeseed
Ricebran
Why are these fats so bad for us?
It has to do with the Polyunsaturated Fat (PUFA) & Omega-6 content. Our bodies don’t know how to process these kinds of fats in large quantities.
We haven’t adapted to run on foods created in the last 100 years. Simple.
Humans have been eating:
Butter / Ghee
Tallow / Lard
Olive oil
Coconut oil
And animal & fruit fats in general for hundreds (if not thousands) of generations.
You hear stories of people going to Europe, eating whatever they want & drinking like a sailor and somehow LOSE weight.
This is because most restaurants in Europe still use olive oil & butter to cook with. It’s not rocket science.

🇷🇺⚡ The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation has information about the Kiev regime planning a provocation related to the detonation of the so-called "dirty bomb" or low-yield nuclear weapons.
The purpose of the provocation is to accuse Russia of using weapons of mass destruction in the Ukrainian theater of operations and thereby launch a powerful anti-Russian campaign in the world aimed at undermining confidence in Moscow.
According to available information, two organizations in Ukraine have specific instructions to create the so-called "dirty bomb". The works are at the final stage.
A "dirty bomb" is a container with radioactive isotopes and an explosive charge. When the charge is detonated, the container is destroyed, and the radioactive substance is sprayed by a shock wave, while creating radioactive contamination of the area over large areas, and can also lead to radiation sickness.

🇺🇸 ❌️ 🇨🇳 ‘China is under siege’: US tech controls set stage for ‘aggressive’ response to protect economic growth
China faces an urgent need to devise a counterplan in the face of sweeping new tech controls imposed by the United States, as the implications of its unprecedented moves are seen extending far beyond China’s semiconductor industry and into advanced sectors that Beijing deems critically important drivers of future economic growth.
Other than striving for success in technological breakthroughs and self-reliance, China doesn’t have any other option in the short term, said Shi Yinhong, an international relations professor at Renmin University in Beijing.
China is dependent on various types of foreign technologies – including those with military applications, such as for aircraft engines and submarines – that will be affected by the tech blockage, Shi said.

🇨🇳 Tencent shareholders drown their sorrows as Chinese tech crackdown makes it less valuable than a booze firm
Tencent, the Chinese tech and gaming colossus that you'll know for owning a slice of seemingly everything(opens in new tab) in the games industry, is no longer China's most valuable company. Bloomberg reports(opens in new tab) that Tencent's stock price has hit a five-year low, and its overall market capitalisation was overtaken late last month by—of all things—Kweichow Moutai, a Guizhou-based firm specialising in the production of Maotai rice wine. At time of writing, Kweichow Moutai had a $235 million lead over Tencent's market cap.
This would have been unthinkable just last year, when Tencent was trading at between $50 and $90 per share and was easily the most valuable company in China, but Tencent's fortunes have been brought low by the increasingly hostile domestic environment. A combination of China's tech crackdown(opens in new tab), strict COVID policies(opens in new tab), and generally flagging economic growth have made it hard for Tencent—and plenty of other Chinese companies—to do business. Tencent has wiped $650 billion off its market cap since the beginning of 2021.

🇹🇼 🇺🇸 ❌️ 🇨🇳 The fate of the global economy may rest on the shoulders of one company: TSMC.
TSMC is the world's biggest chipmaker — its chips power everything from cars to iPhones.
But US-China tensions, and China's standoff with Taiwan, could cost the global economy trillions.
TSMC counts Apple as its biggest customer, supplying the California tech giant with the chips that power iPhones. In fact, most of the world's roughly 1.4 billion smartphone processors are produced by TSMC, as are about 60% of the chips used by automakers, according to The Wall Street Journal
The spotlight has focused increasingly on Taiwan and the semiconductor industry as a whole in recent weeks following the export regulations the US government slapped on China. Those regulations limit sales of semiconductors made using US technology and are meant to curb China's ability to develop advanced technology.
The US and China are now locked in what Patel described as "a full-scale bilateral economic cold war," one that's likely to have severe financial repercussions, especially given how intertwined the semiconductor supply chain is.
The US National Security Council agrees, and in July the US commerce secretary said the US would face a "deep and immediate recession" if American businesses no longer had access to these chips.
The US is taking some steps to make itself less reliant on Taiwan. In July, for instance, Congress passed the CHIPS Act, which includes nearly $53 billion in subsidies and tax breaks in an effort to bolster chip manufacturing in the US.

🇺🇸🇹🇼❌🇨🇳 — 🇺🇸 Bloomberg: TSMC Said to Suspend Work for Chinese Chip Startup Amid US Curbs
— "Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. has suspended production of advanced silicon for Chinese startup Biren Technology to ensure compliance with US regulations, according to a person familiar with the matter.
The decision is connected with information in the public domain that Biren’s products outperform Nvidia Corp.’s A100 chips, which are now banned for the Chinese market, the person said, asking not to be identified discussing a sensitive matter. While TSMC has not reached a conclusion on whether Biren’s products meet the US threshold for restrictions, the Taiwanese chipmaker has decided to stop supplies to the Chinese startup for now, the person said.
Biren, one of China’s most promising semiconductor designers, earlier concluded its artificial intelligence chips produced by TSMC are not covered by the latest US export restrictions because the specs of its products don’t meet the criteria for curbs, Bloomberg reported on Friday."

The two-page letter gives 14 examples of steps taken by Sweden to show it "is fully committed to the implementation" of a memorandum it signed with Turkey and Finland in June, which resulted in NATO member Turkey lifting its veto of their applications to the trans-Atlantic security alliance.
In a sign that talks were progressing, Sweden's foreign minister said on Friday he expects the last two holdouts, Turkey and Hungary, to vote soon on its NATO applications.
Erdogan was quoted by Turkish broadcasters as saying on Friday that Sweden's newly appointed Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson backs the fight against terrorism and that they would meet to discuss the NATO bid and extraditions

🇫🇷🔪 Murder of Lola: potential roots in Algerian, satanic folklore
👉🏻 Last Friday, the 12 year old girl Lola Daviet was kidnapped, raped, tortured, killed and abandoned in a plastic trunk. The culprit, a 24 year old Algerian woman named Dahbia B., was supposed to be expelled from France 3 years ago.
🔥 This story provoked a wave of emotion throughout the country, with every sides of the political spectrum doing their usual circus: the far-left which for once can't exploit a tragedy, content itself with accusing the other side of doing so. The government gives the bare minimum amounts of comments "on an ongoing investigation", to avoid having to explain their blatant failures regarding crime and immigration, and the so-called "far-right" organizes protests, whose only outcome will be to serve as group therapy sessions. Even more telling than the crime itself, the empty answers to this barbaric act exposes modern-day France as an exhausted and faithless nation. A nation of cowards, a nation of eunuchs.
🇩🇿 At this time, what brought the culprit to act isn't clear. But while on a TV set, the French judge and politician Georges Fenech noted the similarities between this affair and the Zourhis sacrifices in Algeria.
📖 On maghreb-observateur.com, one can read the following on the subject:
«In Morocco and Algeria, children with particular characteristics are called Zouhris. They are red-haired children with blue eyes or blond with light eyes, and they must have a continuous line that crosses the palm of the hand.
These Zouhris children are systematically sought out and kidnapped to be sold. They will then be sacrificed to the jinns on the altar of Satan as part of a ritual that is supposed to lead to the discovery of treasures buried underground for centuries.
[...] Once the child's throat has been slit and his blood recovered for the needs of the ritual, the perpetrators go so far as to extract his organs in order to feed an international organ trade»

🟧 The Green energy transition means we will need roughly 700 million metric tons of copper within the next 22 years, the equivalent of the entire history of copper mining.
The EU plans to build 18 GW of wind power per year, but it will need an additional 6,300 metric tons of copper per year throughout 2022-2026.
▪️Recycled copper can't be used for wind turbine cathodes
➡️ Blasting copper mining requires ammonium nitrate made from natural gas and oil.

🇸🇦🌆⚠️ — 🇬🇧🇶🇦 Middle East Eye (October 7, 2022): Neom: Saudi Arabia sentences tribesmen to death for resisting displacement
— "A Saudi court sentenced three members of the Howeitat, a tribe forcibly ejected to make way for the $500 bn Neom megacity, to death earlier this month for resisting displacement, a UK-based rights group has reported.
Shadli, Atallah, and Ibrahim al-Howeiti were arrested in 2020 for opposing the eviction of their tribe for the project and were handed down death sentences on 2 October by Saudi Arabia's Specialised Criminal Court, according to UK-based rights group Alqst.
"We condemn the sentences and call for their release," Alqst said in a tweet.
Shadli al-Huweiti is the brother of Abdul Rahim al-Howeiti, a 43-year-old Tabuk resident who was shot dead by Saudi special forces in April 2020 after protesting the government's eviction orders, including in videos he regularly posted to YouTube."

🇪🇺 🇰🇷 Euronaval 2022: Hyundai Heavy Industries displays CVX aircraft carrier
The CVX (formerly known as LPX-II) is a class of aircraft carriers currently under development for the Republic of Korea Navy. The class is follow-on from the previous Dokdo-class amphibious assault ships which prioritized amphibious capability while the CVX will be designed for fixed wing and rotary wing operations instead, constituting a traditional aircraft carrier.
The planned development of the class was formally announced and funded as part of the 2020~2024 Mid-Term Defense Plan, published in December 2020.
The Republic of Korea government has stated that the sensor and weapons fit for the CVX will be developed domestically and the ship will feature a multi-function radar (MFR) for ballistic missile defence (BMD). The same system will be used about the next generation destroyer for the Republic of Korea Navy (KDDX).

🇹🇷 🇩🇿 Algeria nears deal with Turkey to buy Anka drones
Algiers was enraged when a Moroccan Bayraktar TB2 was suspected of killing three Algerians in Western Sahara, so Turkey offered to sell drones to Algeria too
When a suspected Moroccan drone strike killed three Algerians in November 2021 near the Western Sahara town of Bir Lahlou, a furious Algiers blamed Turkey.
Though there was no concrete proof, Algerian officials believed Morocco, which for a year had been battling the separatist Polisario Front in the territory, used Turkish-made Bayraktar TB2 drones in the strike on a truck convoy.
Algiers was furious, accusing Ankara of taking sides between two North African countries. Turkey has longstanding friendly relations with both.
Ankara conveyed to Algiers a simple message through its ambassador: we are open for business with you as well.
Ultimately, the Algerians opted against the famed Bayraktar TB2s, large combat drones with proven experience in Ukraine, as well as Syria, Libya and Nagorno-Karabakh. Instead, Algiers purchased 10 units of Anka-S drones, produced by state company Turkish Aerospace Inc, two sources familiar with the negotiations told MEE.
The Anka-S is a medium-altitude, long-endurance, unmanned aerial vehicle (MALE UAV), which can fly for 30 hours non-stop. Thanks to its satellite link, the Anka-S can cover a much larger area than other options, which means it's useful in places like North Africa with its thousands of miles of desert.

🇺🇸 Lawmakers seek emergency powers for Pentagon’s Ukraine war contracting
The sheer volumes of weapons that the legislation authorizes contracts for equipment sent to Ukraine includes 750,000 XM1128 and XM1123 rounds for 155mm artillery; 1,000 M777 Howitzers; 700 M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems and 100,000 Guided Multiple Launch Rocket Systems.
But it extends far beyond what the U.S. needs to replenish stocks sent to Ukraine. For instance, it authorizes contracts to procure up to 20,000 Stinger anti-aircraft missiles and 25,000 Javelin anti-tank missiles. That far exceeds the approximately 1,400 Stingers and 5,500 Javelins that the U.S. has sent to Ukraine from its stocks.
“These numbers are much larger than just replenishing stocks,” said Cancian. “These are huge numbers. They are not driven by what we’ve given to Ukraine, but sort of related to what we’ve given to Ukraine.”
“This isn’t replacing what we’ve given them,” he added. “It’s building stockpiles for a major ground war in the future. This is not the list you would use for China. For China we’d have a very different list.”
The amendment also authorizes buying up to 30,000 AGM-114 Hellfire missiles; 36,000 AGM-179 Joint Air-to-Ground Missiles; 1,000 Harpoon missiles; 800 Naval Strike Missiles; and 10,000 Patriot Advanced Capability - 3 air defense system and 6,000 MGM-140 Army Tactical Missile Systems.
The proposed legislation also authorizes contracts for 20,000 AIM-120 Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air missiles, which Ukraine has not fired extensively – if at all. Britain announced last week that it would donate these AMRAAM rockets to Kyiv for its use in the Norwegian Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile System, which the United States has pledged to provide in the future via the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative.
Co-production with NATO
To that end, the legislation aims to facilitate co-production of weapons systems with NATO allies. For example, the proposed legislation also authorizes sharing designs for the large-caliber cannon, which Cancian noted was developed by Britain.
In a separate provision that would allow bulk weapons purchases between the U.S. and NATO, the amendment would expand existing authorizations that cover NATO’s bulk purchases of logistics support items, like fuel, to cover acquisitions of any kind. The idea is that the U.S. and allies would be able to pool resources for artillery shells and other weapons and potentially save costs by buying together.

🇲🇩🪖⚡️ Digi24 | Moldova will enforce a mobilisation order if and when the war gets close to her borders ❗️❗️
Defense Minister Anatolie Noșatîi/Noshatyi said that for the mobilisation notice to be given, the war "must change radically and get close to our borders". He added "We will not wait until the last moment, until it's too late. We are steadfast and preparing for every scenario".
Recently, Moldova made public the news that it is looking to increase the military spending and is looking to acquire an air defense system. Moldova has already called on her allies for help with this purchase.
Noșaîi/Noshatyi acknowledged that, Moldova is incapable to protect it's airspace. It has the ability to detect any and all aircraft and missiles flying through it's airspace but cannot do anything to stop them. Recently three Russian cruise missiles flew through Moldova's airspace a clear violation of Moldova's territorial integrity.

🪖 🇲🇽 Mexico’s president gives power and money to the armed forces
Democracies that give their armed forces too much power may become less democratic. Under President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, Mexico, which never had a military dictatorship, may be taking that risk. In September Congress voted to transfer control of the National Guard, created in 2019 to replace the federal police, from the security ministry to the defence ministry, which is led by a general. This month Congress’s upper house agreed to extend from 2024 until 2028 the army’s role in enforcing law and order.
Mr López Obrador, president since 2018, once argued that soldiers should return to their barracks. Now he has given them more power than has any predecessor. He wagers that they will act more quickly than bureaucrats and be less corrupt. The army is popular; its ranks are drawn from the pueblo (ordinary people); many Mexicans applaud its role in fighting narcos.
The army’s role has expanded most in fighting crime. In 2006 the then-president, Felipe Calderón, deployed the armed forces to fight drug gangs, supposedly as a temporary measure. They have been doing it to a greater degree under Mr López Obrador. In September nearly 200,000 soldiers, including National Guard members, of an active force of 240,000 were spread across the country. That is nearly four times the maximum average reached under previous presidents. The new laws, which will be challenged in courts as unconstitutional, could make permanent the militarisation of law enforcement. The eradication of the federal police force means that the civilian branches of government are “washing [their] hands of what is arguably a government’s main role—to provide security to its citizens”, says Luis Carlos Ugalde of Integralia, a consulting group.

🇲🇩🇺🇦🇷🇺 - Disclaimer: The following is a featuring with Rybar commenting on the post we'll link at the end of this. Rybar and other Telegram analysts offered us this opportunity and we gladly accepted it. For those who don't know us: we are a neutral channel that writes in English and maintain a policy of covering what others won't, may it be in the mainstream medias, Twitter or other fellow Telegram writers.
Recently in downtown Chisinau, the capital city of Moldova, anti-riot police dismantled a protester camp. Protesters were there since 5 weeks, protesting a bad economic situation they deemed linked with the country's attitude towards Russia in the Ukrainian conflict. While the current pro-European Moldovan govt didn't sanction Russia, fearing its economy wouldn't stand the cost, it vocally supported Ukraine. Russia, as a retaliation, limited its energy exportations to Moldova, which made the Moldovan economy feel the pain and explained why protesters made the camp in the first place.
The explanation of why there is an energy crisis is simple. The West have very bright scientists, charismatic artists, some even says we have honest politicians, but the natural resources are not in the hands of fellow democracies, they are in the hands of the third world. The West previously answered such a problem by colonizing the third world in order to still grow in force. But now, given the West's attitude towards the third world, which it expect to behave in ways that are deemed acceptable by the Liberal medias, the nations that have those resources wants to behave in a ways they will decide alone. And if the West sanction them, they will feel the pain.
No matter how much the West love the Ukrainian people, no matter how the West support its struggle, it may have to make morally painful choices. Western people won't accept living in third world conditions, having electricity cuts on a regular basis and loosing, as the French government predicted, 10% of its industrial output, which will have a toll on the employment. In Germany, as people anticipate tough conditions this Winter, nationalist AfD is surging in the polls, even in former West Germany states it was typically weak. As we previously announced, support of Ukraine in France and Germany is now of only 70%, while it was nearly 80, 85 and 90% back in March. We can easily predict those numbers will have a serious toll if the Winter is as tough as some predicts.
The federal republic of Germany was based on the premise that fascism should never return to power. However, a party that have some roots from that era is currently surging thanks to this crisis. Who knows what roof may it meet when the crisis is at its worst? Could German authorities, who sincerely believe in the importance of fighting the far-right, use it as a pretext to compromise with Russia if AfD gets a too important share of the voting intentions?
Then, in France, a general strike will happen tomorrow at the invitation of the country's biggest unions and left to protest the government's actions against strikers from refineries who caused up to 30% of the country's fuel stations to run out of fuel. This energy tension in France may be a prelude to what may happen this Winter, a friend told me. French people knows how to protest, so some may get angry if conditions are particularly hard this Winter.
How will Eastern Europe cope with this crisis? They are fragile economies which depends on both Russian energy and EU funding. Slovakia said its economy was facing a risk of collapse, as an example. We know that political liberalism is often fragile in Eastern Europe, especially if the economy and the West fails to deliver its promises.
How will the United States react to this crisis? While it is hesitant to sell at a friendly price its gas to Europe, it may be forced to do so if its the only solution to lessen the energy crisis in Europe. However, as economists predict the United States may enter a recession soon, it may have other priorities

🇷🇴 Source this time: Last night, the tents installed by antigovernment protesters were removed from the center of Chisinau.
The 🇲🇩 General Police Inspectorate had broken up the antigovernment manifestation and removed the tents installed by the protesters from ☭🟦 The Șor Party which had them installed there for over a month blocking the traffic on several streets. This event comes after Maia Sandu announced extended powers for the Police and Gendarmerie units and new rules to the organisation and creation of protests.
During the breakup of the protests, the police opened up 178 investigations for disturbing public order and unlawful possession of cold weapons.
Maia Sandu thanked the police for the intervention and the clearing of the streets.
Ziarul de gardă published an investigation into the protests organised by Ilan Șor, the founder of the Șor Party, and the three journalists they sent undercover discovered that people were receiving 400 MDL (around 20.5$ USD) if they brought other people to the protests. The transport was prepared and paid for by Ilan's party.
Ilan Șor/Shor is a Jewish-Moldovan businessman and oligarch, former mayor of Orhei, the mastermind behind the 2014 bank fraud scandal which saw the "disappearance" of 1 billion $ USD from three Moldovan banks through loan finances to several shell companies in 🇬🇧 and 🇭🇰 and then deposited into Latvian accounts under false names. The scandal saw Moldova lose 12% of it's GDP. Shor is currently self-exiled in 🇮🇱 Israel, escaping justice after he stole 1 billion $ USD worth of savings deposited by the Moldovan people.
At the same time the tents were torn down in Chisinau, he proposed, from Israel, the creation of a "National Salvation Committee" which should replace the current government "once it falls".

🇲🇩 About the background of the protests in Moldova : Rybar
See how interesting.
While, on the one hand, Moldova is being pumped up with weapons, pushing it to resolve the Transnistrian issue by force, on the other hand, internal social tension is deliberately aggravated.
The systemic pesticide writes that today the Moldovan special forces finally demolished a tent camp in Chisinau - the protesters had not been touched for five whole weeks before. And now they suddenly began to interfere very much (overclocking video is here).
The example of Moldova once again demonstrates the demonstrative - if not criminal - selectivity of the authorities. All protesters are branded as supporters of the pro-Russian politician Shor. And that's it.
❗️But the point is something else. The protests in Moldova are a litmus test that shows the general level of social tension across Europe.
Our friend Frida Kahlo has been chronicling the protests in different parts of Europe for several weeks now, demonstrating how the entire Old World is slipping into the level of conditional Latin America, losing its pretense and democratic light.
🔻Mass demonstrations in different parts of Europe - including Moldova - are developing against the backdrop of energy, economic and political crises. In some areas, the situation is aggravated by migration problems and local conflicts (most importantly for the south of Europe, close to Turkey and the Balkans).
Moldova is by no means an exception here. People simply do not like what is happening and the actions of the authorities. But under the pretext that these are pro-Russian activists, the rallies are dispersed. And at the same time, weapons from Romania continue to flow into the country.
Imagine what would happen if people were eventually driven to the edge?

The Third Legion was gonna wipe out Firqat al Hamza and Suleiman Shah groups but HTS intervened to help them
And groups like Faylaq al Sham and Sultan Murad are not fighting on HTS' side but they're giving them free passage to attack the Third Legion
It's dire because now the Third Legion controls only Azaz and al Bab, they are trapped between their SNA rivals in the east and HTS in Afrin
Third Legion = Levant Front and Jaysh al Islam
Since Turkey sent troops to Idlib, they and HTS established a much better working relationship, this isn't a disaster for Turkey so much as bad PR (the US still blacklists them)
Jolani saw a chance since the SNA was fighting itself and decided to eliminate his old enemies from Ghouta like Jaysh al Islam, and also to try and unify the whole area from Idlib to Jarablus under one government
Just recently, Afrin to Jarablus was run by the Syrian Interim Government and divided by SNA factions while Idlib is run by the HTS backed Salvation Government
He's trying to slowly add Afrin and the rest to his government
And also to make money from the economy in Afrin

An Armed Forces of Canada Boeing C-17A Globemaster III aircraft arrived in Haiti Saturday, delivering the first four of more than a dozen new armored vehicles for the Haiti National Police.
The vehicles are among 18 Haiti’s government purchased commercially from a Canadian-based firm over the summer but for inexplicable reasons were delayed getting to the Caribbean nation. The government of Canada, which had guided Haiti through its purchase, later stepped in to ensure delivery of the vehicles.

1903: Dominican Republic: From March 30 to April 21, a detachment of marines was landed to protect American interests in the city of Santo Domingo during a revolutionary outbreak.
1915 to 1935: Haiti: The U.S. sent troops to Haiti following the last presidential assassination in the country, the murder of President Vilbrun Guillaume Sam in 1915 at the hands of an angry mob that had raided the French Embassy where he had sought refuge.
1916 to 1924: Dominican Republic: U.S. Marines occupied the Dominican Republic following 28 revolutions in 50 years. The Marines ruled the nation completely except for lawless parts of the city of Santo Domingo, where warlords still held sway.
1965: Invasion of Dominican Republic: Operation Power Pack, The United States intervened to protect lives and property during a Dominican revolt and sent 20,000 U.S. troops as fears grew that the revolutionary forces were coming increasingly under Communist control.

The effort appears to be an about-face for the Biden administration after a US official said earlier this week that it was “premature to talk about a US security presence” inside of Haiti. But it remains unclear exactly what role the US would play in this rapid action force.

🇲🇽 — Mexico's government has approved a reform in the Chamber of Deputies that extends the army's participation in security missions until 2028, a move that worries victims of the military's excesses. After hours of debate, the constitutional reform was approved by 339 votes in favor, 154 against and two abstentions.
The initiative was encouraged by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador's Morena party (National Regeneration Movement), its allies and the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), which this time distanced itself from the opposition bloc. The constitutional modification, already approved by the Senate, took place in the midst of the scandal over the massive leak of classified military information carried out by the Guacamaya hacker group, which affects several Latin American countries.
In Mexico, where the volume of leaks is one of the largest, the issue has provoked an avalanche of journalistic denunciations that reveal the influence of the military in the current government. In the debate, Congressman Salvador Caro, from the opposition Citizen Movement, questioned the moment to extend the influence of the Armed Forces when the institution has been the target of leaks and, according to the information revealed, some of its members are allegedly linked to criminals.
The deputies summoned Defense Secretary Luis Cresencio Sandoval to explain the Guacamaya scandal, but he refused to appear before the legislature and only agreed to receive the deputies in his office next Tuesday.
The constitutional reform consolidates the protagonism that President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has given to the Armed Forces, with the leadership of public security, but also in charge of tasks such as the construction of multi-million dollar infrastructure works.

Mexico is a war zone again. But anyone who believes that’s just Mexico’s problem, think again; American national interests are at unprecedented risk.
Cartels’ smuggling syndicates are at each other’s throats along Mexico’s northern border and in Pacific states known as the Tierra Caliente (Hot Zone) as Mexico sends in its military. The warfare has left hundreds deadwarfare and whole city blocks scorched, vehicles burning, and citizens taking shelter from hours-long gun-battles. Millions of Mexicans are readying for worse to come.
The probability that Mexico’s newly muscular cartels become true puppet masters of Mexico’s central government stands at a high water mark, only rising the longer Biden allows his mass migration over the border to continue fabulously enriching them.

"we may assume that the decision to deploy a “regional group of troops” is a cover for the training of the mobilized Russian citizens in Belarus. In other words, it is a legal wrap for this decision.
Mobilized and untrained Russians won’t be able to be a striking force to conduct an offensive operation, or to hold back the offensive of the “enemy” in defense.
Accordingly, they won’t be able to substantially reinforce the Russian Armed Forces to counter a conditional external enemy."

Syria: HTS militants partially withdraw from Afrin after Turkey steps in
Syrian opposition source said that HTS wasn't withdrawing all of its forces from Afrin and the group could maintain some presence in the area.
Ahrar Al-Sham will take over at least 17 military points from HTS in Afrin. The fate of the crossing points in south Afrin has not yet been clarified. These points were under Failaq Al Sham's control, but they withdrew while HTS entered Afrin.
Despite HTS military withdrawal from Afrin, it established a serious influence in the region. For HTS, there is no longer a border between Afrin and Idlib. At the same time, it has reached the point where it can impose itself politically-militarily through its proxies in Afrin.

🇺🇸 ❌️ 🇭🇹 According to the Miami Herald, the United States has drafted a United Nations Security Council resolution that will encourage the “immediate deployment of a multinational rapid action force” to Haiti to address the nation’s worst security and health crisis in decades, according to a copy of the resolution obtained by McClatchy and the Miami Herald.
The draft resolution, confirmed by multiple U.S. and U.N. officials, comes in response to a call by U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres last week for the establishment of a rapid reaction force to assist the Haitian National Police. Over the past four weeks, powerful armed gangs have all but sent the country into anarchy, blockading the country’s largest fuel terminals and cutting off its critical roadways.
It is the first public indication so far that the Biden administration is willing to participate in a military force in Haiti — although the resolution does not specify what role various nations would play.
A U.S. source familiar with the drafting of the resolution said the multilateral force would not be under the supervision of the U.N. or assembled under Chapter VII of the U.N. Charter, which endorses the use of force for the maintenance of peace.
Last week, Guterres proposed that Haiti and other nations or transnational organizations deploy a rapid response-force, to be followed in the medium-term by a U.N.-led force. It remains unclear who would lead the rapid-action force, but the United States, Canada and France — three countries with a long history of involvement in Haiti — have all expressed skepticism in recent days.

GB: Without commentary, a sampling of the increasing number of posts from across the Russian Telegram sphere about the joint Russian-Belarusian military grouping in the process of formation.
from @Romanov_92:
1) The Russian Army is starting an offensive match. Northern direction. Very soon. Less than two weeks. The exact date and area will be published exclusively on my channel a little later.
2) The transfer of military units to Belorussia has begun. The counter-terrorist operation in Belarus will be carried over to the Kiev direction as well. Less than two weeks to go.
3) Nikolayev region: The Ukrainian Armed Forces report from the ground that they have begun to redeploy forces from the Nikolayev region to the border with Belarus.
from @Politjoystic:
Russia-Belarus Union State. The real unification has begun. Joint military groups are a pre-emptive measure. And also to stretch the front. Kiev is a stone’s throw from the northern Ukrainian border.
from Belarus:
Belarusian General Staff: Minsk and Moscow will be based on the peacetime military forces of the Belarusian army and separate military formations of the Russian Federation.
from Vladislav Ugolny (@Zola_of_Renovation):
[In response to @Romanov_92:] Can someone please explain to me, a fool, what is the point of making another raid on Kiev? I can't see it at all.
Why this probability is being hyped up in the media is clear—we need the Ukrainians to deploy as many forces as possible to the defence of Kiev, so that a bunch of AFU troops stand across the border from Belarus and twiddle their thumbs. But I don't see the point of the actual crossing of the border here. Please explain, your version will then become more convincing.

🇲🇩❌🗣🪧🇷🇺 Digi24 | Protests longer than 4 hours and the blocking of roadways are now banned in Moldova after a month of consistent antigovernment protests.
The Moldovan government outlawed protests which are blocking of roadways, access and exit points from public buildings in working days and limited them to blocking such accessways to just 4 hours maximum in non-working days.
This comes after almost a month of continuous protests in front of the government building and Maia Sandu's official residence with thousands of angry protesters, some even camping with tents in the center of Chișinău.
The text of the law also adds that the police reserve the right to arrest all protestors who "break the public order" and if the organiser of the protest doesn't exclude them from the manifestation, the police reserve the right to ban the protest and disperse the crowds.
The government motivated this decision by affirming that "it must maintain public order and maintain the right to the freedom of movement on public roads".
Since September 18th, daily manifestations occur in Chisinau where disgruntled Moldovans accuse the Sandu government of refusing to negotiate a better deal with Gazprom and demand her resignation, despite the fact that Gazprom broke the contract it had with the Moldovan government by arbitrarily reducing gas supplies and hiking up the price of the gas for no apparent reason.
Recently, Maia Sandu asked her government for more powers in combating the protest which she says "are fuelled by Russia with the aim of destabilising the country and installing a pro-Russian regime".

This covert mobilization will apply to residents of rural Belarusian regions. One of the sources reports that drivers have already been summoned to the training camp. Another mentions cooks, drivers, technical and support personnel.
“It will be alarming when the number of mobilized people exceeds 5000. This will mean the creation of a strike group in some direction. If it exceeds 10,000 – several groups,” the source says.

General Dynamics to begin building US Army’s new light tank next month
The system features a new chassis design, while drawing from other GDLS programs to reduce risk, Kevin Vernagus, company program director for the MPF system, told Defense News. The turret is also “largely new and with different materials than normal” he added, but “we still retain the interior look, feel and controls similar to an Abrams” main battle tank.
The Army plans to buy 504 vehicles, which are projected to be in the inventory for at least 30 years. The bulk of procurement should be complete by 2035, Dean has said.

🇲🇩 Russian-language channel legitimniy: #MoldavianCase
Our insider information from the source is now officially confirmed.
The head of the Moldovan Ministry of Defense said that they are considering the option of a possible "partial mobilization", this will be necessary in order to increase the ability of the armed forces to respond to threats.
Our source points out that the main reason is to stop the protest moods in Moldova itself. The second reason is to shift the focus from internal problems in the country, and there will be more and more of them and they will be even “stronger”. It is important to shift all attention to the external threat. The third option is money laundering for the military sector. Fourth, real preparations for war, but only Sandu should immediately warn people that massive missile attacks on Chisinau and Moldova will be commonplace. There will also be no electricity, water and gas, as well as work, and food prices will be “gold”.
It seems that someone is rushing Sanda to enter the "war". Did she really promise this to Zelensky at a personal meeting?

🇺🇸 ❌️ 🇨🇳 US Drops New Export Controls on the Chinese Semiconductor, Advanced Computing, and Supercomputer Industries
While directed primarily at the Chinese semiconductor manufacturing, advanced computing, and supercomputer industries, the combination of the new ECCNs, FDPR rules, and new end user/end use rules will require all companies that export, reexport, or transfer (in-country) to China items, including hardware, software, and technology related to these industries, including companies in China or with Chinese subsidiaries, to determine if some of their transactions will now require a license from BIS. The key takeaway: Virtually any company that uses computers, servers, and ICs in China and all exporters and reexporters, worldwide involved in the export of computers, servers, and ICs to China, will need to assess the new US export controls. Further, the new US person restrictions will make it very difficult, if not impossible, for US Persons (citizens, permanent residents, refugees, asylees) to work in engineering R&D or provide technical support for Chinese companies engaged in the semiconductor, advanced computing, and supercomputer fields.

🇫🇷❌❓ — French spies ask "Who is the enemy of France?"
Experts at the School of Economic Warfare, which trains French intelligence executives and executives of French key companies, have just released a report titled "Who is the Enemy of France?"
Although Russia and China are named as adversaries of French interests, the researchers point primarily to NATO members as France's main enemy.
The 🇬🇧 United Kingdom, 🇩🇪 Germany and especially the 🇺🇸 United States are thus directly accused of being predatory powers that harm French interests.
It should also be noted that Macron also seems to be very criticized, the video shows him as a "puppet" of the Young Leaders and he is associated with the image of Klaus Schwab of the Davos Economic Forum.
This video proves that within the elite of the French state there remains a part of executives very critical of the American influence and of the EU.

🌎 The Globalization Myth: Why Regions Matter
The North American Manufacturing Hub
Despite the popular use of the term "globalization," Shannon O'Neil argues, what we've seen more than anything else over the past four decades is regionalization. Three regional manufacturing hubs have emerged in that time: Asia, Europe, and North America. And while Asia and Europe have done lots of work to foster and invest in supply chains in their regional hubs, she argues, North America has lagged behind.
O'Neil begins her book with one of the factory towns that has been devastated by deindustrialization: Akron, Ohio. Before falling on hard times, Akron was "the Rubber Capital of the World," producing about 60% of the globe's tires. In the 1980s, however, tire companies began leaving Akron, and the community slipped into a downward spiral.
"It is easy to peg Akron as a victim of globalization," O'Neil writes. But the problem, she argues, wasn't really free trade; it was largely "the United States' limited regionalization," which damaged the economic viability of continuing to do business in Akron as the global tire market got more competitive.
O'Neil is bullish on the future of manufacturing in the United States if it remains open to the world and embraces its neighbors. She stresses that labor costs are rising in Asia and Europe, as their population growth slows and they have fewer workers to do jobs. Moreover, as machines become more and more important to production, the US technological edge over competitors will help it become an even bigger manufacturing powerhouse. "The United States can handle competition," she writes. "But it will be easier and done better with partners."
Of course, there are probably many Americans — especially in politically important factory towns dotting the industrial heartland — who won't buy O'Neil's argument, or at least, won't believe that any kind of free trade could possibly help them. Even O'Neil acknowledges the politics of implementing her regionalist vision are tricky.

🇺🇸 🏭 Reshoring Is Gaining Traction
According to a report from the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the reshoring of manufacturing back to the US has been top of mind for many manufacturers, especially in light of the supply chain issues brought on by the pandemic. Proximity to customers and markets, eco-system synergies, and the impact on the domestic economy are all reasons why manufacturers want to move production back to the US.

🇺🇸 ❌️ 🇨🇳 According to a report from the Reshoring Initiative, In 2021 the private and federal push for a domestic supply of essential goods propelled reshoring and foreign direct investment (FDI) job announcements to a record high. Data from the first half of 2022 shows reshoring and FDI continuing these gains. The current 2022 projection of jobs announced is around 350,000, another record, up from 260,000 in 2021. If the projection is achieved, 2022 will bring the total number of jobs announced since 2010 to over 1.6 million.
Supply chain gaps and the need for greater self-sufficiency continue as major factors driving reshoring. The possibility of a Taiwan-China conflict and the threat of China decoupling focus on those concerns. The destabilizing geopolitical and climate has brought to light vulnerabilities and the need to address them. Subsequently, great opportunities have arisen for a continued meaningful rebound of US manufacturing. The report concludes that continuing the current trajectory will reduce the deficit, add jobs, and make the US safer, more self-reliant, and resilient
The Reshoring Initiative notes that the acceleration of jobs coming back to the US combined with the decline in the rate of offshoring has resulted in a 12-year steady uptrend in US manufacturing jobs. The COVID crisis has revealed North America’s over-dependence on imports. That combined with the Ukraine/Russian war and geo-political tension with China will drive ongoing supply chain shifts, further accelerating reshoring and nearshoring.

🇨🇳 The largest cohort in Chinese history (born 1963-1972) is starting to enter retirement. 268,935,000 people were born in the PRC during those years. This massive retirement wave will have significant ramifications for major economies all over the world.
The cohort entering the workforce to gradually replace these retirees exiting it (those born between 2001 and 2010) numbers only 161,280,000. So there is obviously a yawning gap between those retiring and those becoming first time workers.
The following ten year cohort (born 2011-2020) is marginally bigger at 169,230,000 and is largely replacing a much smaller cohort (born 1973-1982) numbering 199,084,000.
The defining cohort whose retirement may end the era of Chinese growth definitively is that born from 1983-1992. Their retirement will coincide with that of many huge cohorts across the west and will put enormous pressure on the markets. Many have only one child & no siblings.
This cohort numbers 224,824,000 and when they retire they will be replaced by the generation that will only be born in the coming years. If current birth trends continue this will be the smallest cohort in modern Chinese history. This heralds disaster.

People are not aware of that but the fact that Russia and China are no longer the ones that [they] were for our economic development will require a strong restructuring of our economy.
On the other hand, we delegated our security to the United States.
These are some questions that we have to ask ourselves. And the answer for me is clear: we need to shoulder more responsibilities ourselves. We have to take a bigger part of our responsibility in securing security.

🇿🇦 🇺🇸 Elon Musk personally rejected a Ukrainian request to extend his satellite internet service to Crimea, the SpaceX CEO fearing that an effort to retake the peninsula from Russian forces could lead to a nuclear war, according to a report published Tuesday.
But recently there have been problems. Last week, the Financial Times reported that the service was suffering "catastrophic" outages on the frontlines, prompting speculation that it had been shut off in areas controlled by Russia — perhaps to prevent the Kremlin from itself exploiting the network.
On Twitter, Musk said he could not comment on battlefield conditions, saying "that's classified." But speaking to Eurasia Group political analyst Ian Bremmer in late September, Musk appeared to confirm that the satellite service was being intentionally disabled.

In the event Russia used a nuke, the Obama administration established protocal to nuke or launch large conventional strikes against Belarus.
The National Security Council’s so-called Principals Committee—including Cabinet officers and members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff—decided that the United States had no choice but to retaliate with nuclear weapons. Any other type of response, the committee argued, would show a lack of resolve, damage American credibility, and weaken the NATO alliance. Choosing a suitable nuclear target proved difficult, however. Hitting Russia’s invading force would kill innocent civilians in a NATO country. Striking targets inside Russia might escalate the conflict to an all-out nuclear war. In the end, the NSC Principals Committee recommended a nuclear attack on Belarus—a nation that had played no role whatsoever in the invasion of the NATO ally but had the misfortune of being a Russian ally.
Vice President Biden, argued that retaliating with a nuclear weapon would be a huge mistake, sacrificing the moral high ground. Kahl thought it would be far more effective to respond with a conventional attack and turn world opinion against Russia for violating the nuclear taboo.

🇺🇸 🛰 Launch on demand: If satellites are shot down, will Space Force be ready to restock?
A small satellite mission the U.S. Space Force plans to launch in 2023 will test the ability of the commercial space industry to deploy a payload on an extraordinarily compressed timeline.
A contract for the mission, code-named Victus Nox, was awarded Sept. 30 to launch services provider Firefly Aerospace and satellite manufacturer Millennium Space. Once the Space Force decides when the mission must launch, it will give Millennium a few months to produce the spacecraft and Firefly will only get 24 hours’ notice to get ready for liftoff.
The point of Victus Nox — Latin for ‘conquer the night’ — is to demonstrate fast turnaround launch operations, known as tactically responsive space, and to help planners figure out the front-end processes leading up to the launch. This capability, strategists warn, will be needed during an armed conflict to augment constellations or replace satellites that adversaries would damage or blow up.
“We need to be able to get to the point where we can go launch a rocket, a mission in 24 hours and get that data flowing,” Brig. Gen. Stephen Purdy, the Space Force’s program executive officer for assured access to space, said Sept. 20 at the Air & Space Forces Association annual conference. A 24-hour call-up is “almost unobtainium right now,” he said. “But we need to get to that point.”
The idea of responsive space launch has been talked about for years but is now gaining attention due to congressional and industry advocacy, as well as world events that have shown the strategic value of satellites, making them more attractive targets.

🇿🇦 🇨🇳 Musk offers proposal on China-Taiwan tensions, after Russia-Ukraine plan
Billionaire Elon Musk, days after floating a possible deal to end the war between Russia and Ukraine that drew condemnation in Ukraine, suggested that tensions between China and Taiwan could be resolved by handing over some control of Taiwan to Beijing.
"My recommendation . . . would be to figure out a special administrative zone for Taiwan that is reasonably palatable, probably won't make everyone happy," the world's richest person, told the Financial Times in an interview published on Friday.
Musk was responding to a question about China, where his Tesla electric car company operates a large factory in Shanghai.
"And it's possible, and I think probably, in fact, that they could have an arrangement that's more lenient than Hong Kong," Musk, was quoted as saying by the newspaper.
The Shanghai factory accounted for about half of Tesla's global deliveries last year. Musk said China has sought assurances that he would not offer the Starlink internet service of his SpaceX rocket company there.
Musk said he reckoned that conflict over Taiwan was inevitable and warned of its potential impact on not only Tesla, but also on iPhone maker Apple Inc and the wider economy. The interview did not elaborate on those remarks.

🇿🇦 🇷🇺 Elon Musk spoke directly with Russian President Vladimir Putin before tweeting a proposal to end the war in Ukraine that would have seen territory permanently ceded to Russia, it has been claimed.
In a mailout sent to Eurasia Group subscribers, Ian Bremmer wrote that Tesla CEO Musk told him that Putin was “prepared to negotiate,” but only if Crimea remained Russian, if Ukraine accepted a form of permanent neutrality, and Ukraine recognised Russia’s annexation of Luhansk, Donetsk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia.
According to Bremmer, Musk said Putin told him these goals would be accomplished “no matter what,” including the potential of a nuclear strike if Ukraine invaded Crimea, which Russia annexed in 2014. Bremmer wrote that Musk told him that “everything needed to be done to avoid that outcome.”
Bremmer wrote that Musk said he had refused a Ukrainian request to activate Starlink in Crimea. According to UK newspaper the Financial Times, Ukrainian forces have reported connectivity issues as they continue their counteroffensive into areas previously held by Russian forces in the east and north-east of the country. Musk responded by criticising the FT’s reporting, saying that what happens on the battlefield is “classified.”
Meanwhile the Kremlin welcomed Musk’s “positive” proposal to end the war, while his tweets were also cited by Russian state media.

Thousands of people have taken to the streets and set up tents outside parliament and Sandu's residence in recent weeks, demanding the resignation of Sandu's pro-Western government and voicing their anger over rising prices.
Sandu asked government to amend legislation to give more powers to law enforcement agencies but did not specify what those powers would be.
"Betrayal of the motherland will be severely punished. Those who sow panic and want war will be punished according to the law," Sandu said.
She said the protesters "promise Moscow to establish a government that will be loyal to Russia".

🇧🇾 The Belarusian Armed Forces are largely a mobilisational force. Their manpower is at around 50-60% of the required peacetime strength. To reach 100%, they'd need to mobilise at least 20k men. Operationally, they are subordinated to the Russian Western MD
They don't have Land Forces Command, and they do not conduct exercises above battalion level, but even these are rare. They mostly train platoons and companies. More forces are deployed for Russia-organised drills such as Zapad or Union Shield.
Currently, they maintain some presence near the border with Ukraine (1k km long). Size varies depending on the source. Ukrainians claim Belarusians deployed up to 7 BTGs, but we assess these are actually CTGs, which would correspond with their level of training and capability.
But,since April, Belarusian exercise tempo has been the highest since the end of the Cold War. Minsk tested all capabilities as if it was preparing to go to war: the creation of territorial def battalions, mobilisation, and postal service to deliver orders (and draft notices?)
There are three possible explanations behind this behaviour: 1 ) Prep for a NATO attack 2) To tie up Ukrainian forces near the border to prevent their deployment to other areas 3) Prep for an attack on Ukraine.
However, given that the Belarusian Armed Forces are a mobilisation force, given they would need to deploy a lot of personnel towards the border, create concentration areas, etc., I am certain we will be able to pick up changes in the Belarusian posture 9/
and provide strategic warning when an attack could happen (if at all).

Columbus Day | CIG #commentary
Our calling to destiny must adhere to the principles of PLUS ULTRA: "Further Beyond", a repudiation of the ancient warning on Hercules' pillars. However capable the natural state of man may be, it must be our choice to go beyond. Civilization is a fateful choice to go further. Ascending to the heavens and conquering them is a choice to go further. Not because it is included in the natural state of man, instead, it gives us a special purpose, it takes generations to achieve such great heights of glory and wonder. It gives us something to strive towards, giving the Faustian spirit true expression. We conquer, then we are struck; We create, we destroy; We explore and become lost. This rocky path compels us to become competitive and it challenges us to go beyond ourselves. Man reaches out to the infinite for an ideal he may never grasp. This sets forth the most profound expression of biological life as civilization fates us to become Sisyphus.

✝️ Power of the Men's Rosary: Global Crusade
On the 8th of October, a day after the Church celebrated the feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, thousands of men around the world knelt in prayer to the Rosary, like those armies who prayed before their victory in Lepanto, on the 7th of October. This is a Global Crusade to retake our societies, we have to start with prayer first and foremost.
In Europe, prayers were said in Spain, Italy, Ireland, Poland, Holland, Croatia, Portugal, Luxembourg, the United Kingdom and France. In America, Catholics from Canada, United States, Mexico, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Dominican Republic, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Peru, Chile, Brazil, Uruguay, Paraguay and Argentina attended. From Asia, countries that were present included Lebanon, Malaysia, Philippines and India; while from Oceania there were men from Australia; and finally representing Africa were men from Zambia. In the attached photos you can see some of them.
The Men's Rosary, which began four years ago in Poland and Ireland, brought crowds of people into the streets to highlight the inescapable role of men in society and in the Church, to motivate them to lead the way and take a public stance on our impious societies. In a matter of months, this initiative has crossed the borders of half the world and its organizers have counted that at least 35 countries and more than 150 cities have joined this prayer. This is the first time it has been carried out in a coordinated way on a global level.
We hereby invite everyone to organize their own Men's Rosaries in their countries. Specifically in the United States, in which only Texans and Virginians participated. Man up my brothers, the Crusade to retake our societies shall sharr now with a prayer, to regroup ourselves, guided through prayer, united regardless of grievances.

🇧🇾 🇷🇺 Belarus Announces Troop Deal with Russia - RT
Russia and Belarus have begun forming a joint force, which will include several thousand Russian troops, Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko announced Monday.
The Belarusian leader said the plan was decided when he held a face-to-face meeting with Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of an informal CIS summit in St Petersburg last week.
He noted that since most of Russia’s troops are currently busy with the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, the core of this joint force will consist of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus, but there will nevertheless be “more than one thousand Russian soldiers.”
He also claimed that Kiev is currently planning to carry out attacks against Belarus and is being pushed to do so by the West.

🇵🇱🇺🇸☢️❗️ — 🇺🇸 Bloomberg: Poland Says It Approached US About Sharing Nuclear Weapons
— "Poland has spoken to the US about sharing atomic weapons, President Andrzej Duda said, a provocative statement that comes as Western nations confront Russia over its invasion of Ukraine.
The US and NATO have publicly stated that they have no plan to deploy nuclear weapons in countries that joined the alliance after the collapse of communism more than three decades ago. A White House official said they were unaware of the issue being raised and referred further questions to Poland’s government.
The Biden administration is seeking to walk a fine between supplying Ukraine with advanced weaponry while avoiding moves that would cause the Kremlin to further escalate the conflict. Poland, NATO’s largest member from the former Warsaw Pact, is one of the most vocal proponents of bolstering the alliance’s eastern flank."

👉🏻 Yesterday, we told you that 717 gas station across the country had completely ran out of fuel. Today, that figure rose to 1821, with an additionnai 919 gas station partially out of fuel.
🗣 Despite the lack of improvement, the minister of the ecological transition explained yesterday that «The situation should continue to improve, since we have taken authorizations for tankers to circulate this weekend, and have released strategic stocks". He dismissed for the moment the prospect of restrictions at the pump: «we are not there, apart from bans on filling jerrycans, especially in northern France where we have the most tense situation»

“On the evening of October 8, the Ambassador of Ukraine to Minsk, Igor Kizim, was invited to the Belarusian Foreign Ministry, who was presented with a diplomatic note. In the note, the Belarusian side claims that Ukraine allegedly plans to strike at the territory of Belarus,” the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said.
Kiev claims that this information is not true, and the presentation of the note is a “Russian provocation”.

AbramsX Technology Demonstrator on the Move
Transformational technology. The Abrams X is a main battle tank for the next generation, featuring reduced weight for improved mobility and transportability and delivering the same tactical range as the M1A2 Abrams with 50% less fuel consumption. The AbramsX’s hybrid power pack supports the U.S. Army’s climate and electrification strategies, enhances silent watch capability and even allows for some silent mobility. With a reduced crew size and AI-enabled lethality, survivability, mobility, manned/unmanned teaming (MUM-T) and autonomous capabilities, AbramsX can be a key node in lethal battlefield networks and serve as a bridge from Abrams SEPv3 and SEPv4 to a future tank.

🇨🇳 ❌️ 🇺🇸 Report highlights U.S. concerns over China’s space infrastructure in South America
“China’s space network in South America is part of a broader push by Beijing to establish itself as a leading global space power and partner of choice in space for middle-income economies,” claims the report released Oct. 4 by the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
The report details China’s ground station presence in countries including Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela as well as through services provided by the Swedish Space Corporation (SSC) in Chile. It also uses satellite imagery to highlight the facilities themselves.
Some of China’s assets, such as Neuquen in Argentina, are part of the China Deep Space Network and support lunar and interplanetary missions such as Chang’e-5 and Tianwen-1.
China has a network of ground stations in China and a presence in places including Namibia, but infrastructure in South America is important to facilitate links with spacecraft when they are orbiting over that part of the world.
Ground stations, given their geographically distributed nature, are often subject to geopolitical tensions and concerns, and will be a point of contention going forward, particularly in the context of U.S.-China relations.

A press release from Gazprom accuses Moldovagaz, the state owned company distributing the gas imported from Russia, for deliberately refusing or slowing down the payment process.
Referring to the contract signed in 2021 between Gazprom and Moldovagaz in regards to the supply of gas, Gazprom says it reserves the right to stop all gas deliveries if Moldova doesn't pay for the gas delivered to it until then +50% of the pay for half of the gas that is due to be sent in November.
Despite Gazprom now suddenly respecting the terms of the contract it signed last year, a little over a week ago, it cut gas deliveries to Moldova by 30% deliberately and knowingly breaking the clauses of the contract.

Before the battle began, His Holiness Pope Saint Pius V ordered all Catholics to pray the Rosary for Divine Intervention, the Holy League created by Saint Pius V was outnumbered by the Ottomans, but the wise and Holy Pontiff knew that Divine Intervention is the only possible way for victory against a mighty adversary. By the Grace of God, through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the battle was won.

✔️As for the second line, it is ready, it has been built, and if the necessary legal decisions are made by European colleagues regarding its certification and lifting of restrictions, I think Russia could provide supplies along this line of the gas pipeline in a short time.
✔️ [on the introduction of a ceiling on Russian oil prices] We are against such non-market instruments, such precedents are very harmful to the energy market.
This only leads to a shortage, an increase in prices, and consumers will pay for it if they want to introduce such a mechanism.

🇷🇺🇫🇷 While France supported the Nazis in Ukraine, not without the help of Russia, 3 countries were already taken out of French control - the Central African Republic, Mali and Burkina Faso. Macron is effectively presiding over the collapse of the French neo-colonial empire in northwest Africa. This empire lasted several decades after the process of decolonization in the 50s-70s. And now we are witnessing its fragmentation. It is noteworthy that Russia is not making any extra effort for this - France is now very weak and does not hold on to its former sphere of influence. Nigeria and its uranium mines are next in line.

🇦🇲 🇦🇿 Russian Milblogger WarGonzo: Why is the "Zangezur corridor" dangerous for Russia
"Just the other day, a meeting between Armenian Prime Minister Pashinyan and Erdogan is scheduled. Against the backdrop of the recent aggravation on the Azerbaijani-Armenian border in the regions of Syunik and Vardenis, it looks especially piquant.
Having achieved tactical success in the recent campaign, Baku has come close to its strategic goal - the physical creation of the so-called "Zangezur corridor", which will provide direct communication between Turkey and the main part of Azerbaijan. There is an opinion that Pashinyan is ready to legalize this corridor.
Why is this dangerous for Russia, how is it connected with us and with the same NWO? In fact, directly. Well, first of all, Ankara and Baku unequivocally support Kyiv in the current conflict. Weapons, drones, Azerbaijan - front-line aviation. The strengthening of the Turkic union in our Caucasian underbelly is dangerous if only for this reason.
The second point is the Turkish tactic of "jihad for export". Which Erdogan actively used in Syria, Libya, Karabakh - exporting terrorists from ISIS, Al-Qaeda (and related methods of warfare) - as a means to achieve geopolitical goals.
The "Zangezur Corridor", which ultimately connects Turkey-Azerbaijan-Dagestan by land, is likely to become a convenient logistical hub for jihadists plying throughout the Middle East. This gives Erdogan an opportunity to stir up and rock the situation in the Russian South Caucasus, actively using religious and ethnic factors.
The @wargonzo project has prepared a number of investigations on how the Turkish special services are conducting subversive activities on the territory of the Russian Federation, as well as on how, under the auspices of Erdogan, ISIS-Ichkerians are already going to fight in Ukraine. Will publish soon. Wait. It will be loud."

🇸🇦🤝🇷🇺 — 🇬🇧 Financial Times (October 4, 2022): Saudi Arabia and Russia plan deep oil cuts in defiance of US
— "Saudi Arabia is seeking to raise oil prices at a crucial meeting in Vienna in a move set to anger the US and help Russia.
Riyadh, Moscow and other producers are set to announce deep cuts at a meeting of the Opec+ cartel on Wednesday, according to people with knowledge of the discussions.
The size of the cut is still to be agreed but Saudi Arabia and Russia are pushing for reductions of 1mn-2mn barrels a day or more, although these could be phased in over several months. The move would probably trigger US countermeasures, including the additional release of oil from the country’s Strategic Petroleum Reserve, analysts said."

Our source reports that the Office of the President received a warning that the risk of a Russian strike and counter-offensive behind Ukrainian lines remains.
The only thing is that no one can say exactly when, how and where it will happen.
The movement can abruptly begin along the entire border of Ukraine. The Russians know that Zelensky instructed everyone to remove reserves from the border regions and send them to the front line for an offensive (blitzkrieg).
That is, once again entering the Sumy region, the RF Armed Forces can easily take hundreds of kilometers under them, not to mention an attack on the northern part of the Kharkov region or Belarus joining the game.

U.S. Space Force sees future demand for surveillance beyond Earth orbit
Growing activity in outer space beyond Earth orbit — known as xGEO or cislunar space — could turn this region into a contested domain as countries seek access to lunar resources and stake out areas of jurisdiction. As a result, the U.S. military will likely have to pay more attention to what’s happening in xGEO, said Lt. Gen. Stephen Whiting, commander of the U.S. Space Force’s Space Operations Command.
“We are now seeing other actors go to the moon, go to lunar orbit and we do need to be concerned and interested in what they are doing there,” Whiting said May 16 at a Mitchell Institute event.

Marc Brock, commander of Space Delta 2, the unit responsible for space domain awareness for the Space Force, said a study is underway by the 19th Space Defense Squadron (SDS) on what’s needed to monitor activities beyond geostationary orbit, called xGEO by the Space Force, and out to the moon.
That study, he said, will look at requirements to create an “operational capability” for cislunar or xGEO space domain awareness. That includes training, technologies and centers needed to carry out the mission. He said that report should be ready by next April or May.

A light pillar is an atmospheric optical phenomenon in which a vertical beam of light appears to extend above and/or below a light source. The effect is created by the reflection of light from tiny ice crystals that are suspended in the atmosphere or that comprise high-altitude clouds (e.g. cirrostratus or cirrus clouds).[1] If the light comes from the Sun (usually when it is near or even below the horizon), the phenomenon is called a sun pillar or solar pillar. Light pillars can also be caused by the Moon or terrestrial sources, such as streetlights.

Since 2008 when the Serbian company, Naftna Industrija Srbije, a subsidiary of the larger 🇷🇺 Gazprom began oil and gas prospects across Timiș County, it recorded a series of valuable information about the oil and gas deposits across the county.
The company was obligated by Romanian law to send these discoveries to the Romanian state through an intermediate body but it did not, instead it sent this info back to Belgrade where, the Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism together with the Romanian Intelligence Service, suspect it was passed on to Moscow.

Anonymous: Competition breeds progress. No matter how bloody, as long as it doesn't lead to your total annihilation. The end of history made men weak. Much like how infinite resources breed spiteful mutants. No stress means no one truly grows. Hence my interest in truthful wars.
That said, Europe is fucked due to geography. Only Americans, the Commonwealth countries and Asians really have all the necessary resources. Uranium is in Aussieland, Central Asia and the Americas. Fuel is in Russia, the Middle East, Asia and the Americas. Food is the grain belts, America is the best, Ukraine and Southeast Russia is pretty good. The Middle East was ruined by irrigation and topsoil erosion. The three major types of fertilizers are abundant in North America, scattered everywhere else. Europe has coal which helped them until the oil age. Europeans need to Man up and force countries probably in Africa or the Eurasian plains to solve their geographic shortcomings. Africa leaves a bad taste for many with the strings of empire, Ukraine is equally unpopular. Either that to solve the lack of resources or they will be eternal client states to America or Russia.
The French stripped Niger clean of "cheaper" to extract Uranium. Ukraine solves the farm and fuel issues, it's the only place with the needed fuel, manpower and farmland reserves for Euros to choose from. This is the good argument for it because entirely relying on our era's level of green energy is nonstarter and brown areas that come with resources might also come with brown people if euros don't take this seriously. Sadly no one is serious. So even if they win they never do shit with it. But if they were to win, bring Ukraine into the euro sphere they would enjoy cheap energy for quite awhile without the demographic implications of empire. Pick your poison really.
The questions for the Euros would be what to do with perfidious Albion, Brits fall from grace was sealed with the growth of modern energy. I'm pretty sure this is half the reason that Anglos and even Poles are doing what they are doing as well. Poles' economic deals basically set them in control of the energy should they win. There could be side effects with that, like the fact any refineries would be Polish, not Ukrainian from those april agreements. Easily count it as attacking Polish territory and critical infrastructure. Honestly they probably might have blown up the Nord Stream pipelines and opened the Baltic pipeline for a similar reason.
Also a unipolar world invites stagnation. Some people saw it and tried to meme Russia into the USSR, now China. Iran and North Korea fearmongering didn't work. Pax Americana had no real rivals or pressure so everyone got fat and weak. No frontiers, no real wars. Just stagnation until shit runs out then death. So breaking up now is better for the long run, the earlier we deal with the breakdown the more resources we have to unfuck to the new system. Overall I'm glad for this war because it helped bring back the need to adapt, it also will resolve a lot of the third world issues early, tragic as that will be though.

The Ukraine War is a bar fight between Slavs on the Pontic Steppe for its abundance of resources and navigable rivers to trade those with. That is the raw outlook of it, if you can look beyond the veil of dialectic justifications infesting their bogs. Most criticism that both sides give to the other is correct. Conversely, whatever they boast of themselves is typically a lie. The most positive aspect of the events in Ukraine is that war itself has returned to its natural disposition. It has eroded the false sense of eternal utopianism that domesticated man and made him immensely vulnerable to the realities of the world.
Many westerners focus on which side to pick. They treat it like a football game and shout at their glowing glass screens. There's a football match on the tube, but there's a murder in your living room, in your house, crawling into everyone's home. While local ethnic grievances in Eastern Europe do not actually matter in your life. You should be focusing on revitalizing yourselves for the situations that impact Whites and must be faced in Western Europe, North America, Australia, and New Zealand. Our community has been split in two, haven't you noticed by now? Why are we all focused on fighting ourselves over what happens there? It is silly to think there are benevolent governments in this day and age.
Only support Men of Action, those men hold true agency. Never jealously criticize someone who wants to do something with their life. Because, Men only believe in something if they're fighting for it. This does not mean that the Great Power Competition is forfeit for eternity. You may seek an environmental sense of peace, but war is a living being with a mind of its own. Even in a post-semitic world there will be natural competition between various geographic ethno-cultural spheres. A deglobalized world of multipolarism will actually bring more imperialism than the age of colonialism. There will be an emphasis on civilizational entities, some refer to them as civilization states for simplicity.
Europeans shouldn't settle for enslavement to either Russia or the US, they should seize their own power, behave how they see fit. The most important and abundant resource they can own are themselves, which they should move to compete against others to gain anything that they need or want. A Nationalist US should mend ties with English settler countries and be ready to compete against foreign powers. Russia, like the Anglosphere is their own civilization, they do not fit into the ontologies of western observers. The western view of Russia exists in our circles, not in their meta, not among their intellectuals. They don't care what we think about them, they have their own interests, we have ours. We need to pull ourselves out of the mud, never leave ourselves open to be taken advantage of.
Russia, China and Iran are perennial rivals that engage in realpolitik, they help the BLM and Antifa types just as much or more than western nationalists. Why? Because they see it as using fifth columns against their rival powers. Everyone does this. From the Byzantines using minorities within the Sassanid Empire against their power structure, to the CIA funding every ideology under the sun, be they communists in contemporary Iran or fascists in South America. Ideology itself is heavily an enlightenment trend that fizzled out a century ago. We need to think about whether a post-ideological world will resemble the pre-ideological world of the ancients.
I don't care about sides, I wholly believe that there should absolutely be competition within our lives, as a way of life. It should be something tangible, a cause that matters, it must impact you, you must impact others. There are basic natural laws that all biological beings revolve around. Resources are finite, space is limited, we are in a race against time. Eternal struggle is not intrinsically evil because it is the only thing that sparks history, innovation, purpose, goals, principles. Make your life interesting, escape the mirage of fruitless squabbles.

Kessler Syndrome | CIG #commentary
Elon Musk's sudden concern about the war in Ukraine may be due to the repercussions it could hold for space if Russia wanted leverage on peace negotiations or as a result of some type of escalation. Even global recession is actually the least problem coming out of the Ukraine war. To be fair it isn't the root cause, but it did accelerate all these negative trends. The war itself may even be a symptom of deglobalization rather than the catalyst.
We actually haven't seen or felt the real consequences of the war and these general trends yet. It is still possible that the global south will incur massive famines. European industry will freeze, the export-import reliant economies of many countries will regress back to subsidence farming and producing locally. The shock to the world that war in Ukraine sends, is what happens as a result of the fragility that centralizing the global food supply brings.
Time will tell what this bodes for the international community's ambitions in space. There are many worldly concerns that continue to spiral out of control.
Edit: At the end of the day he is human. Imagine building up this great project that he engages in 16 hours a day, for decades, only to be swept away by a rival state power destroying his satellites or playing rough in space cooperation. His life work, destroyed. He would be devastated and this would wound our future prospects in space as well. So of course he would like to mend the situation. But, to be fair Russia has strategic objectives in Ukraine, this war is not about the will of specific provinces wishing to join Russia. They won't settle for less. Musk also relies on metals from Russia, even China for his greentech. The eastern market is very important to him.

Almost 39 years ago, on October 11, 1983, the United States raided an oil storage facility in the Nicaraguan port of Corinto, where they blew up 5 oil storage facilities that held most of the country's oil reserves.
Three days later, on October 14, an underwater pipeline was blown up in the port of Puerto Sandino.
And in January - March 1984, the waters of three Nicaraguan ports, Corinto, El Bluff and Puerto Sandino, were mined by US forces.
Doesn't it remind you of anything?

🇲🇩 Wargonzo claims Moldova is preparing military mobilization to invade Transnistria together with Romanian troops.
Sandu prepares military mobilization in Moldova
"This is reported by reliable sources of the @wargonzo project in Chisinau.
According to our information, the curators have already instructed Sandu to work out the issue for a large-scale military mobilization in Moldova - in order to open an additional front for Russia together with the Romanian troops. The option is not ruled out that the Moldovan mobilized will be sent to fight in the interests of the terrorist group UG (“Ukrainian State”) in Nikolaev and other hot directions."

🇨🇦 Anon: And Ontario said they will not grant the municipalities the right to enact local firearm bylaws. In Canada, the municipalities are creations of the provincial government, and the latter can exercise extreme control over the former. Basically, mayors can decide what to do with their local budgets, and premiers can overrule any other decision they so please.
So now Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Ontario all have provincial governments who will not comply with federal/liberal firearm confiscations in one way or another.

The move threatens peace and stability in the area, he said - before predicting it will spark “an armament race on the island”.
“Will we stand by? We cannot,” he continued - “every precaution will be taken for the security of the Turkish Cypriots”.

The 20 Lev Tahor cult members who were arrested last week managed to escape the detention facility they were being held in on Thursday after using extreme violence against enforcement officials.
"They wouldn't let us leave", said David Rosales, a member of the cult, after the escape. "This is a violation of freedom and religious rights."

🇲🇽 ❌️ 🕎 ✡️ - 🇬🇧 BBC: Children removed from Jewish sect's jungle compound in Mexico
Lev Tahor was formed in Israel in 1988 by Rabbi Shlomo Helbrans, who later moved to the US. He served two years in prison after being convicted of kidnapping in 1994 and drowned in Mexico in 2017.
Numbering up to about 350 members, Lev Tahor has been forced to move from country to country in recent years after coming under scrutiny from local authorities. It is currently spread between Israel, the US, North Macedonia, Morocco, Mexico and Guatemala. Between 70 and 80 members are still in Guatemala.

🇲🇽❌🕎✡️ — 🇪🇸 El País: Mexico delivers latest blow against Lev Tahor, the ‘Jewish Taliban’
— "The ultra-Orthodox religious group Lev Tahor is once again in the eye of the storm after a raid by Mexican authorities resulted in the arrest of 26 members of the sect and two followers who stand accused of people trafficking and sexual abuse.
The operation was carried out with the cooperation of the Israeli government to rescue a group of people who had been illegally taken to Mexico and were being held in a Lev Tahor camp in the jungle in the state of Chiapas.
The Mexican press has dubbed the extremist religious sect, which has an estimated membership of between 200 and 500 people, the “Jewish Taliban” due to their beliefs and practices.
The raid was carried out by Mexican and Israeli operatives last Friday but was not made public until this week, via diplomatic sources with knowledge of the case."
