Thousands protest against Netanyahu ahead of Israeli election

RT

25 Oct, 2026 

The organizers have claimed that more than 100,000 took part in a rally in Tel-Aviv

A major protest against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has taken place in Tel-Aviv just days ahead of the Israeli parliamentary election on October 27.

A square outside the Museum of Art in the country’s largest city was packed on Saturday evening, with the demonstrators holding national flags and banners, reading ‘Change will come’, ‘No more Mr. Far Right Guy’ and other slogans.

The organizers of the gathering from the October Council group put the attendance at over 100,000. The police have yet to announce official figures.

Netanyahu’s main rival in the election – Yashar party chairman and former military chief of staff, Gadi Eisenkot – and other leaders of the opposition bloc have attended the rally. The crowd cheered Eisenkot’s appearance, chanting: “Who’s coming? The next prime minister.”

The October Council was formed by families of the victims of the attack on Israel by Hamas on October 7, 2023, who demand accountability from Netanuahy’s right-wing government for the failure to prevent the incursion.

Saturday’s protest, organized with the title ‘In Three Days, Vote for a State Commission of Inquiry’, is the culmination of three years of weekly rallies, according to the group.

The State Commissions of Inquiry, which are independent panels appointed by the Supreme Court, are usually set up in Israel to investigate major failures by the authorities. However, Netanyahu refused to establish such a probe into October 7, insisting that it would be biased against his government.

Reports in the US and local media claimed that the prime minister ignored warnings of the planned attack by Hamas he had received from various sources, including Israeli intelligence and the UAE and Egypt. Netanyahu has denied those claims.

A poll by public broadcaster KAN published before the start of the election silence period on Friday, suggested that Eisenkot’s opposition bloc would get 52 out of 120 in the Israeli parliament, with Netanyahu and his supporters winning 50 seats. This means that neither is likely control the Knesset outright.

Israel responded to the October 7 incursion by Hamas, in which 1,200 people lost their lives and around 250 were taken hostage, by launching a military campaign in Gaza.

Israeli airstrikes and a ground offensive have killed more than 74,000 Palestinians, including at least 21,000 children, and injured over 175,000 others in the enclave over the past three years, according to the local Health Ministry. More than 1,500 deaths happened after a US-brokered ceasefire went into effect in October 2025.

Measles Vaccines Controversies: Real or Manufactured

In 2000, the CDC announced that measles had been eradicated from the US. At that time, the CDC prided itself in this outstanding achievement and credited the success to its vaccination program.

However, year after year, outbreaks continued to occur in communities across the nation.

The fact of the matter is that measles will likely never be eliminated although it fits perfectly into a compelling narrative to promote vaccination compliance and to keep the public in fear and high alert. Indeed, measles is highly infectious. Yet to achieve herd immunity with ineffective, leaky vaccines, it would require 100 percent coverage worldwide. This cannot be accomplished when many low-income developing nations have barely half of their populations vaccinated.

According to health officials, the MMR is estimated to have a 5 percent failure rate. However, independent studies and screening of infected fully vaccinated persons indicate the rate could be 30 percent and higher. Even if the 5 percent is assumed accurate, this still translates to approximately 3 million children between 1-17 years of age who are unprotected despite being fully vaccinated. In addition, since measles infections are frequently mild and vaccinated individuals can often be asymptomatic carriers, there are greater dangers of the virus spreading silently. Furthermore, millions of visitors come to the US annually; therefore, the nation will never be fully protected from measles outbreaks.

One example stands out. Many Americans will recall the Disneyland measles outbreak at the end of 2014 and the widespread panic generated by the CDC and mainstream media networks. The outbreak was a huge cash cow for the pharmaceutical company Merck. In a single quarter after the outbreak, the company’s measles vaccine sales increased 24 percent according to Bloomberg Business News.

After the Disneyland outbreak, the medical journal JAMA published a study showing only 14 percent of those infected were unvaccinated.  If 86 percent of those contracting measles were vaccinated, then the belief that the vaccine is capable of reaching herd immunity is a mere fantasy.

After many years of reviewing and analyzing vaccine-related scientific papers and articles, we can make one clear conclusion about the herd immunity theory. It is a dishonest marketing gimmick. It is an example of garbage-in garbage-out pseudo science. For this reason, the theory is bound to fail in the real world.

Given the CDC’s track record of concealing worrisome health risks from the public when it is more expedient to preserve the agency’s credibility, it is not unreasonable to suspect the agency has concealed the measles vaccine failures and injuries for decades. Last year, cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough accused the CDC of classifying many measles cases during outbreaks involving 1,562 individual cases as “vaccine status unknown.” In Dr. McCullough’s review, this seems highly implausible given the enormity of the NIH’s staff and easy access to patient, physician, and clinical vaccination records.

No doubt an infectious disease outbreak can happen in a highly non-immune community if a virus reaches it. The real question, however, is how well can high vaccination compliance ensure sufficient immunity and protect a community from an outbreak?  An early paper by Poland and Jacobson reported 18 separate measles outbreaks across the North America in 1994. All outbreaks occurred in school systems with very high vaccination coverage, as high as 99.8 percent in one school district. Nevertheless, vaccinated children constituted between 33 to 100 percent of the diagnosed measles cases.

Another glaring example of measles vaccine failure occurred on the Boston University campus. This was a particularly opportunist outbreak because the university had just completed a blood drive and, therefore, a large collection of students’ blood samples to investigate was immediately on hand. Laboratory analysis found that eight out of nine students who contracted measles were fully vaccinated. Another 70 percent carried a measles infection but were asymptomatic.

A more convincing and alarming study by the Public Health Agency of Canada was published in the Journal of Clinical Microbiology announcing a new real-time RT-PCR technology that could identify measles vaccine strains with laborious genetic sequencing. The technology is especially crucial during disease outbreaks for rapid diagnosis. To test the new diagnostic tool, the CDC provided Canadian health officials with 194 measles virus sequences from the 2015 measles outbreaks. Thirty-eight percent were identified as vaccine strains rather than wild-type viral strains. In other words, over a third of the outbreaks that year were actually vaccine reactions in vaccinated kids rather than natural infections.

When we consider the demonization of parents who are hesitant to vaccinate their children against measles and the eager willingness to blame outbreaks on unvaccinated persons, the implications of this new technology are enormous. Moreover, because vaccine efficacy is weak, when the broader safety health risks are further taken into account, the benefit-risk ratio increasingly tilts in favor of parents refusing vaccination.

In order to evaluate any vaccine’s benefit-risk ration, its efficacy and safety record need to be reviewed and analyzed. Aside from the Disneyland case, China presents an excellent example of measles vaccination inefficiency. China is one of the most vaccination-compliant populations in the world, estimated at 99 percent coverage. Measles vaccination is mandatory. So why were there over 700 measles outbreaks during a three year period alone? A Chinese study in collaboration with the University of Michigan reported that 51 percent had been vaccinated, even following boosters in many cases. The obvious conclusion is the vaccine is not especially effective and vaccine failures are far more common than the public is led to believe.

Dr. Gregory Poland, Editor in Chief of the journal Vaccine and founder of the Mayo Clinic’s Vaccine Research Group, published a surprising statement about measles vaccine’s poor record of efficacy. At that time there was near 95-plus percent measles vaccination compliance for children entering kindergarten. Despite the CDC’s propaganda stating that the vaccine defeated the virus, measles outbreaks continued to increase. Dr. Poland’s analysis was that the rise in measles cases was not due unvaccinated individuals but rather the failure of the vaccines.

The Cochrane Collaboration, a world-renowned independent organization that evaluates the medical literature or the efficacy of any given drug, vaccine and medical intervention, has reviewed the scientific research for the MMR vaccine on several occasions. In one review of 60 prominent studies, Cochrane concluded, “The design and reporting of safety outcomes in MMR vaccine studies, both pre- and post-marketing, are largely inadequate.”

Another medical discovery that debunks belief in the MMR’s protective claims is that live virus vaccines, such as the MMR, shed. This means that a vaccine’s viral component can be transmitted and infect others people that a vaccinated person comes into contact with.

The best-documented case occurred in New York City in 2011 when an adult woman received two MMR shots and subsequently infected four others in her workplace in the theater district. Two of those infected were already immunized with two MMR doses. All cases positive for measles in the incident were confirmed by laboratory testing and government health officials concluded that the outbreak was due to a failure in the MMR vaccine. In other words, the vaccine infected others.

It may also be noted that it is not uncommon in out-patient cancer clinics to provide at-home instructions for persons who are severely immunocompromised. One frequent guideline is to avoid contact with persons who have been recently vaccinated. This is especially true for live viral vaccines that can more easily infect others already in poor health.

Before the Covid-19 pandemic, there were 93,179 reports of hospitalizations, injuries and deaths following measles vaccinations in the government’s Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS). There were also 1,258 measles vaccine damage claims filed in the federal Vaccine Injury Compensation Program for 82 deaths and 1,176 injuries. About 50 percent of reported adverse effects occur in children three years and younger. But the nation’s vaccine safety monitoring system has been horrible for several decades. Medical experts have often noted and criticized the flaws and inefficiencies in VAERS for recording vaccine injuries. Various analyses, including out of Harvard Medical School, have given evidence that only between 1-10 percent of serious vaccine injuries get reported. Therefore, government health officials have been severely handicapped by their own negligence to conduct proper safety evaluations during the post-marketing period of a drug or vaccine. In addition, although the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act requires physicians and vaccine providers to report serious adverse vaccine reactions to VAERS, not only do many doctors and nurses fail to file reports, many are unaware the system even exists.

For many decades, a host of adverse effects have been found to be directly or indirectly associated with the MMR and MMR-V vaccines. Aside from common vaccine reactions, such as low-grade fevers, redness, rashes, pain at injection site and swelling, Merck’s product inserts list over 40 serious complications. Among the more serious reactions potentially leading to long-term illnesses, disabilities and death are: subacute sclerosing panencephalitis, aseptic meningitis, thrombocytopenia;, aplastic anemia (anemia due to the bone marrow’s inability to produce platelets, red and white blood cells), lymphadenitis, anaphylaxis including related symptoms of peripheral, angioneurotic and facial emema, necrotizing retinitis (inflammation of the eye), nerve deafness, optic and retrobulbar neuritis (inflammation of the optic nerve), Bell’s palsy, stroke, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, transverse myelitis, encephalopathy, vasculitis, pancreatitis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, acute hemorrhagic edema, afebrile convulsions, arthritis and death.

Secondary conditions can include atypical vaccine strain measles infections and susceptibility to other viral infections, respiratory and bronchial viruses in particular.

In a large retrospective study conducted by Kaiser Permanente Colorado and published in the journal Pediatrics, researchers examined over 1.1 million MMR vaccine doses given to children aged 1–18 years and identified 259 confirmed cases of immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP). ITP is a medical condition defined by abnormally low platelet counts and clinical bleeding. Particularly disturbing was that for most in the youngest age group, between 12-23 months of age, the disease appeared quite late — 42 days after vaccination. The study concluded that 76 percent of ITP cases in children were attributable to MMR vaccination.

The fact that some adverse injuries from the measles vaccine, such as thrombocytopenic purpura, can appear months after vaccination is troublesome. Consider that the MMR shot was licensed without a single clean placebo-controlled study. Moreover, the trials only tracked adverse events for 42 days after vaccination and discounted a host of chronic diseases and adverse events occurring after the trial period.

Several studies stand out to support measles vaccine-associated injuries.  Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Sweden reported that children receiving the MMR before age 10 have a significantly higher risk of multiple sclerosis.

As far back as 2002, it was known that a particular type of antibody was commonly found in autistic children who received the MMR vaccine. Utah State University researchers recorded elevated levels of measles antibodies and myelin basic protein (MBP) autoantibodies in 125 autistic children. MBP is a biomarker that plays a significant role in the onset of autism. Ninety percent of the MMR antibody positive autistic children were also positive for MBP autoantibodies. The researchers concluded that “an inappropriate antibody response to MMR, specifically the measles component thereof, might be related to the pathogenesis of autism”.  It is also well known that viral infections can cause oxidative stress that decreases methylation capacity common in autism.

Many might remember the case of Dr. William Thompson who was featured in the documentary film Vaxxed. Thompson was a former Merck scientist who became a senior epidemiologist at the CDC’s Immunization Safety department in 1997. He was a co-author on studies that were often cited to debunk a connection between autism and vaccinations. In 2014, after a conflict of conscience, Thompson came forth with material evidence proving that the CDC had known for almost fifteen years that a causal relationship exists between the MMR vaccine, the vaccine preservative thimerosal and autism.

New Paper Reveals How mRNA Vaccine Materials Could Spread From Vaccinated to Unvaccinated People

We identified two distinct forms of mRNA vaccine shedding: internal transcriptional spread and potential human-to-human transfer.

For years, people around the world have raised serious concerns about mRNA vaccine shedding—the possibility that vaccine-derived materials could spread beyond the individuals who received the injections. Despite years of public concern and debate, critical questions surrounding this possibility have remained unanswered.

We decided to examine the scientific evidence comprehensively, tracing what happens to vaccine-derived materials inside the body, how they spread between cells, and whether biological mechanisms exist that could allow these materials to pass from one person to another.

Our resulting paper, titled “mRNA Vaccine Shedding: Internal Transcriptional Dissemination and Potential Human-to-Human Transfer,” was coauthored by John A. Catanzaro, NMD, PhD, of Neo7Bioscience, Inc., and Nicolas Hulscher, MPH (myself), and Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH, of the McCullough Foundation.

Drawing on published human investigations, molecular experiments, and research involving extracellular vesicles, we examined the existing evidence and identified two distinct forms of mRNA vaccine shedding:

1. Human-to-human shedding: The potential transfer of vaccine-derived materials from vaccinated individuals to other people through biological secretions.

2. Transcriptional shedding: The production, fragmentation, persistence, and internal spread of vaccine-derived molecular products throughout the body.

1. Human-to-Human Shedding: Potential Transfer Between Individuals

Studies have detected vaccine-derived spike protein and mRNA on or within circulating exosomes multiple years after vaccination. Exosomes are microscopic, membrane-bound particles that protect and transport proteins, genetic material, and other biological cargo between cells.

Importantly, these same types of particles are naturally present in bodily secretions that may come into contact with other individuals:

Breast milk: Vaccine-derived mRNA has already been detected within exosomes in human breast milk. This documents the presence of vaccine genetic material in a secretion naturally transferred from vaccinated mothers to their infants.

Saliva: Exosomes are confirmed in human saliva, yet their potential carriage of vaccine-derived spike protein, mRNA, or plasmid-associated DNA remains untested.

Exhaled breath: Exosomes and other extracellular vesicles have been recovered from exhaled breath and breath condensate. Whether these particles carry vaccine-derived materials following mRNA vaccination has not been directly investigated.

Sweat: Extracellular vesicles have also been detected in human sweat, but their potential carriage of vaccine-derived molecular products remains untested.

Exosomes are not simply passive containers. Experimental research demonstrates that they can protect genetic material, enter recipient cells, and deliver molecular cargo capable of altering cellular activity.

These findings provide a plausible biological foundation for human-to-human transfer pathways beyond breast milk.

Adding to these concerns, an observational study involving thousands of respondents found associations between proximity to vaccinated individuals and menstrual irregularities among unvaccinated women.

Despite these observations, whether vaccine-derived spike protein, mRNA, or plasmid-associated DNA can transfer between individuals through saliva, exhaled breath, sweat, or other non-milk bodily secretions has never been directly tested.

2. Transcriptional Shedding: Internal Spread Throughout the Body

The second form of shedding examined in our paper involves the production, fragmentation, persistence, and dissemination of vaccine-derived molecular materials within the vaccinated individual.

Following mRNA vaccination, human cells manufacture SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. This protein can be broken into fragments through enzymatic processes, released into circulation, and transported through the body inside or on the surface of exosomes.

We examine two additional mechanisms that could extend this process.

Cell division (mitosis): When cells containing vaccine-derived proteins divide, their daughter cells may inherit portions of the altered cellular contents. This proposed mechanism could extend the presence and biological effects of vaccine-derived materials across successive generations of cells.

Cell-to-cell spread: Exosomes can transport spike-related materials and regulatory genetic cargo to distant cells that never directly received vaccine mRNA. Experimental studies involving spike-expressing cells demonstrate that exosomal cargo can alter signaling pathways in recipient cells.

Together, these mechanisms suggest a potentially self-reinforcing cycle of molecular dissemination and cellular signaling disruption:

Spike production → Protein fragmentation → Exosome release → Cellular signaling disruption → Further dissemination

As vaccine-derived materials spread between cells, they interfere with five interconnected biological systems: blood coagulation, innate immune sensing, tumor-suppressor signaling, cellular receptor regulation, and interferon signaling.

The possibility of sustained cellular disruption and human-to-human exposure of mRNA vaccine material demands immediate testing. In the meantime, a HALT to mRNA technology is warranted to protect innocent bystanders from potential shedding.

On Google Killing 400,000 Trees To Build Data Centers In Finland

Caitlin Johnstone
October 27, 2026

I don’t know who first coined the saying “If the penalty is a fine, then it’s legal for rich people,” but it certainly applies here.

That story about Google killing hundreds of thousands of trees in Finland for its data center project is such a perfect microcosm of what capitalism is doing to our world.

Recent mass media headlines are saying the tech giant “illegally” cut down “250,000” trees, but both claims paint an inaccurate picture of what actually happened. Google killed 400,000 trees (250,000 near a town called Muhos and another 150,000 near the village of Otanmäki), and unless the company’s executives actually wind up going to prison for this, their actions cannot properly be described as “illegal”.

I don’t know who first coined the saying “If the penalty is a fine, then it’s legal for rich people,” but it certainly applies here. The Finnish Licensing and Supervision Authority has reportedly ordered Google to suspend all “measures that significantly change the environment,” saying it will “consider enforcement proceedings and fines” if the megacorporation does not comply. Google’s parent company Alphabet has a net worth of around four trillion dollars; whatever paltry penalties Finland might impose for these ecocidal actions, it won’t have any meaningful effect on Google.

Giant corporations do this shit all the time. They calculate that the fines incurred by their abusive actions will be dwarfed by the massive profits they generate, issue fake apologies as needed, and leave it to their armies of lawyers to minimize the damage. That’s why the Sackler family is still worth billions despite all the fines Purdue Pharma was slapped with while creating the US opiate epidemic.

A 2017 Harvard study titled “The Opioid Epidemic: Fixing a Broken Pharmaceutical Market” contains the following paragraph:

“Although civil claims and criminal charges were brought against Purdue and its executives, the resulting penalties paled in comparison to extended-release oxycodone profits. In May 2007, the company and its president, chief counsel, and former chief medical officer pled guilty to falsely marketing extended-release oxycodone as ‘less addictive, less subject to abuse and diversion, and less likely to cause tolerance and withdrawal than other pain medications.’ As part of the plea bargain, Purdue agreed to pay the federal government $600 million and 27 states $20 million. The three executives agreed to $34.5 million in fines but avoided jailtime. By contrast, Purdue has earned an estimated $31 billion in total revenues from extended-release oxycodone since its launch. Rather than deterring fraudulent marketing, the penalties simply became a cost of doing business.”

A cost of doing business.

That’s how things work under capitalism. The law primarily exists not to protect people or the environment, but to protect the interests of capital. If you destroyed a Google data center you’d probably be charged as a terrorist and spend decades in prison, but Google can destroy the natural world around you and get off with a finger wag and a symbolic fine. If you stole millions of dollars from your employer you’d go to prison for grand larceny, but if your employer steals millions from its employees you need to win a class action lawsuit to get back what they stole from you.

Proponents of capitalism often pretend they support minimal government intervention in civilian affairs, but their entire model is at all times propped up by state power using force to protect the haves from the have-nots at every level of our society. Corporations are free to destroy the environment, destroy your health, rob you, exploit you, and manipulate your government to their advantage, and if you ever take action to stand up to this world-devouring onslaught, the state will lock you in a cage.

In school we are taught that that the law exists to protect ordinary people from bad people, but that’s not true at all. Under capitalism, the law exists to protect the very worst among us from everyone else. That’s why we are seeing our planet being turned into dust and ashes for no reason other than shareholder profit.

It’s an insane system, and it needs to end. These freaks are feeding our entire biosphere into the woodchipper.

As Cyberattacks Increase, Fear of AI Bank Access Makes Headline News – Is there an Agenda?

by Brian Shilhavy
Health Impact News

A major security threat happened on the Internet last week, where security flaws were revealed in PHP code, which is used by about 70% of the websites on the Internet.

Urgent security fix issued for code vital to estimated 70% of all websites

The code vulnerability could allow attackers to take over servers, experts say.

ABC News

Excerpts:

PHP may not be a household name, but the programming language, released over 30 years ago, powers a large share of websites and web applications. Nearly 70% of the internet is estimated to use PHP, including WordPress, which is used for more than 40% of websites.

Now the PHP development team is urging users to update immediately after fixing two critical vulnerabilities, rated 9.2 out of 10 in terms of danger, that if exploited could allow attackers to take over internet servers.

Full article.

This was not fake news; it was real. My entire IT team had to stop everything they were doing that day to address this problem and apply the fixes, as did most of the IT departments of the businesses we deal with everyday.

But a few days later, another story even more fearful appeared, leading readers to wonder if their bank accounts were safe from rogue “runaway AI bots.”

Banks Preparing for Aftermath of Unprecedented Catastrophe Caused by AI

“You can’t stop it.”

Excerpts:

Doomsaying about the coming AI apocalypse is no longer relegated to outbursts from a few tech billionaires.

Now, the major American banks whose policies dictate the flow of capital throughout the world are starting to worry about rogue AI, preparing contingency plans for the “day after” a theoretical AI-driven catastrophe.

That’s according to new reporting from Axios, which notes that banks are preparing for the worst as they experience a huge rise in AI agent activity on behalf of individual customers.

The main worry seems to be an influx of financial activity driven by autonomous AI agents, which have been authorized to access bank accounts by their human users.

In some cases, as Axios noted previously, those agents are making moves that haven’t explicitly been prompted by humans — a few even going so far as to contact call centers on behalf of their users, without being instructed to do so.

That’s become a major liability for top banks like Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, JPMorgan, and Wells Fargo, which are scrambling to implement security procedures and policy updates to get ahead of the AI swarm.

Failing to stay on top of emerging risks, some experts say, could result in financial catastrophe.

As chief economist at the Apollo wealth management firm Torsten Slok explained in a late September brief, AI agents operating under instructions to “optimize the return” on their users’ money could mean banks “lose a large share of the cheap deposits they rely on to make loans, which would be a problem for the entire financial system.”

Full article.

This “story” is NOT news. It is editorializing and predicting the future based on the classic “appeals to authority” where “experts” supposedly know more than we stupid human beings know who are not considered “experts”.

So is there an agenda here? What might come next?

ReallyGraceful published a good video looking into all of this.

U.S. Denies Its Salvadoran Mercenaries Have Been Killed in Haiti

Kim Ives
Last Sunday, October 18, 4 Salvadoran soldiers belonging to the Gang Repression Force (FRG) were victims north of the capital.

The story is very straightforward.

On Sun., Oct. 18, five mercenaries from the U.S.-concocted, UN-blessed Gang Suppression Force (GSF), arrived in an armored Toyota Land Cruiser – called a “Zo Reken” or “shark bone” in Haiti – at a supermarket in the Santo neighborhood of northern Port-au-Prince to shop for some food.

The local population, including soldiers of the local Chen Mechan (“Vicious Dog”) armed group, saw them go into the store and then ambushed them when they came out with fierce gunfire. The mercenaries made it to their vehicle, but the Chen Mechan soldiers set it ablaze, burning and killing all five occupants.

The Chen Mechan, which is part of the Viv Ansanm (Live Together) neighborhood armed group coalition, has retrieved the five bodies from the vehicle and is holding them.

The Viv Ansanm presumes that at least four of the bodies are the missing Salvadoran mercenaries, which the Salvadoran military has admitted are “unaccounted for,”  and that the fifth one is maybe the driver, but they don’t know his nationality.

This is the account provided to Haïti Liberté by Jimmy “Barbecue” Cherizier, the leader and principal spokesman of the Viv Ansanm.

Although three Kenyan policemen, deployed as part of the Multinational Security Support mission (MSS), died in 2025 while fighting armed groups in Haiti’s Artibonite Valley, this is the first time that the Viv Ansanm armed groups have counterattacked and killed foreign mercenaries of the MSS or GSF in Port-au-Prince. (A foreign mercenary of Erik Prince’s Vectus Global force, which nominally works for Haiti’s de facto Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé, was killed when carrying out an operation in Croix-des-Bouquets in November 2025 by soldiers of the 400 Mawozo, another Viv Ansanm affiliate.)

The irony is that the U.S., which conceived, mustered, mostly pays for, and ultimately commands the 1,563 uniformed soldiers and policemen which make up the force (only 28% of the 5,500 which U.S. Secretary of State promised and the UN Security Council blessed when it was launched in September 2025), wants to deny that these soldiers were all killed in an ambush by the very force that the U.S. seeks to crush.

“Yesterday, four Salvadoran GSF soldiers suffered an intense ambush as they were returning to base from a market just outside Port au Prince,” said U.S. Ambassador to the UN Mike Walz at an emergency UN Security Council meeting the next day. “These thugs attacked their armored vehicle with hundreds of bullets and explosives. By God’s grace, we believe the men, four of the men survived, but they do remain unaccounted for. I just spoke with Ambassador Lopez from El Salvador to send a message to the people of El Salvador, to President Bukele, to every El Salvadorian service member deployed in Haiti that America stands shoulder-to-shoulder with them.”

While the U.S. and El Salvador to continue to insist on saying only four Salvadoran mercenaries are missing, the New York Times gave a different account.

“Five Salvadoran soldiers, members of a new U.N.-backed force sent to stop gang violence in Haiti, were ambushed while out shopping near the capital on Sunday and were still missing hours later, three people familiar with the situation said,” it reported on Oct. 18.

The Associated Press reported that the “armed forces of El Salvador said in a statement Monday that the four aviation technicians were returning to camp when their armored vehicle was attacked with explosives and set on fire,” which is a little closer to the Viv Ansanm’s account. But then came what may well be invention.

“The military noted that the four men managed to flee the burning vehicle and it is working with international forces to ‘establish contact and determine the location of our military personnel,’” the AP report continues. “Salvadoran authorities said that helicopters were dispatched to the area but they, too, came under fire as they dispersed armed men in the area. ‘Multiple attempts to approach by land and air have been made, but these have been hampered by the intensity of the fighting,’ the Salvadoran military said.”

The AP called it the biggest attack on the force since it began operations.

Why is the U.S. trying to hide that five of its mercenaries were killed? Is it because the U.S. does not want to discourage other countries from sending troops to the GSF which is now, over a year since its launch, only at 28% of capacity? There current force only has troops from Chad, El Salvador, Guatemala, Jamaica, Mongolia, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh. It was only on Oct. 8 that the GSF was officially “deployed” with a ceremony filled with dance and martial arts demonstrations.

In any case, as the Haitian proverb says, “twou manti pa fon,” the hole a lie makes is not deep. And in the very near future, the truth will come out.

Koreans reject U.S. empire’s plan to make South Korea the next Ukraine

Strategic Culture Foundation

South Korea is rebelling against U.S. dominance. It is witnessing a formidable opposition movement against the United States’ historic control over the Asian country’s military forces.

There is also growing pressure on the South Korean government to refuse demands by U.S. President Donald Trump for Korean troops to deploy in the Persian Gulf.

A major driver of this surging opposition movement is the widely held concern that Washington is maneuvering South Korea to fight a war with China.

Political analyst KJ Noh explains that the Korean people perceive the United States as positioning their country as a proxy to fight an eventual war with China, in a similar way to how Ukraine is being used as a front line to provoke Russia.

“The U.S. empire is making South Korea into the next Ukraine,” says KJ Noh. “It is weaponizing South Korea.”

This is analogous to how Ukraine was groomed and weaponized since 2014 to serve as a proxy for the U.S. and NATO to confront Russia.

He points out that China has always been the main target for American imperial planners seeking to extend U.S. hegemony. Pentagon Generals have openly spoken about going to war with China since 2025. Several strategic documents cite the imperative of confronting China for the U.S. to pursue its ambitions of global dominance.

Recently, the American commander in South Korea, General Xavier Brunson, referred to the country as “a dagger pointed at China” and “an unsinkable U.S. aircraft carrier.” Such brazen comments have sparked even broader opposition.

KJ Noh contends that U.S. strategists assumed defeating Russia and Iran would be relatively easy, paving the way for the main target: China. However, the protracted war in Ukraine and Trump’s debacle in the Persian Gulf have delayed the war plan against China.

Nevertheless, Korean people understand that when the U.S. empire gets around to attacking China, their country will be deployed as Uncle Sam’s proxy.

Historically, for the past 76 years, Washington has exerted full control over the South Korean military. This was enabled by the U.S. using fascist collaborators from the Second World War to control South Korea – a legacy that persists among the deep state in South Korea.

KJ Noh surveys a history of genocidal violence perpetrated by the U.S. empire in South Korea to wipe out political opposition movements. The scale of mass murder and mass graves is shocking and hardly known in the West.

Despite the brutal oppression over many decades, there is still a defiant consciousness among Koreans who refuse to be vassals of the U.S.

Koreans do not want to do Uncle Sam’s dirty work any longer, and they do not want their country to be dragooned into a proxy war against their Asian neighbor, China, with which much of the Korean economy has beneficial relations.

This is why Koreans are demanding that the United States finally hand over Operational Control of the country’s military. President Lee Jae-myung reflects the popular will by calling on Washington to comply. It is also why the Korean people and government are refusing Trump’s peevish calls for deployment in the Persian Gulf. Given the history of loyal Korean service in U.S. wars, this latest defiance is a watershed in relations.

‘We Are Media Guerrillas,’ Says One of the Creators of Iran’s Lego Videos

Exclusive interview originally published on Brasil de Fato.
Republished with permission.

On one side, a few young people with cheap laptops. On the other, studios with budgets in the billions of dollars. That is how members of the Iranian collective Explosive Media—the creators of the “Lego” videos that went viral worldwide during the United States’ war against Iran—describe the battle they have been waging since the United States and Israel attacked the Persian country on February 28.

One of its members, who identifies himself as Explosive Man, received Brasil de Fato for an exclusive interview in a café at the top of a 14-story building in Tehran, Iran’s capital. At the very beginning of the conversation, he pointed to a plane flying on the horizon and said: “A light like that, during the war, was a missile.”

They say their videos have accumulated more than 1 billion views in just a few months, since they released their first video at the start of the so-called “Ramadan War,” which lasted 40 days until the ceasefire in April. The collective is anonymous and brings together around ten young people, aged 18 to 25, trained in communications, engineering, and theology. They began in June 2025, during the 12-Day War, producing videos in Persian with a live presenter.

The first video to use “Lego”-style animation was completed on the last day of that war, but it was never published because the ceasefire came into effect. When the war resumed at the end of February, they posted the first video, went to sleep, and woke up to find the material being discussed in the British press—and, from there, around the world.

Their formula combines artificial intelligence, their own rap music, and the pop grammar of the United States. A two-minute video takes about 24 hours to produce, and the video about the April ceasefire was ready before the official announcement. The team’s favorite, titled “A Vengeance for All,” dedicates each missile to a victim of empire: Indigenous peoples, enslaved Black people, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Iran Air Flight 655, and the children of Epstein’s island. “I cried when I watched it,” Explosive Man says.

The success came at a price. In April, YouTube shut down the channel for “spam, deceptive practices, and scams,” while Instagram removed the account. “In a country that is home to Pixar, DreamWorks, and Disney, an independent animation channel was taken down. Why?” reacted Esmaeil Baghaei, spokesperson for Iran’s Foreign Ministry.

The LEGO company has never commented. Western media coined the label “slopaganda”—low-quality, AI-generated propaganda—a term the group rejects: “We see our work as art. It is cinema.” The format has already crossed the ocean: in May, an art historian from Havana published a video in the same style against Trump’s threats to Cuba, and the collective welcomed her as “LRF Cuba,” the Lego Resistance Front.

But none of this, in their view, explains what matters most. Asked what secured Iran’s resistance—the missiles, the drones, or the videos themselves—he answers with faith: “It was the serenity God granted us.” In the first nights, with the Supreme Leader dead, they were in the streets when they saw an American drone in the sky: “We were not afraid at all.”

Below is the full text of the exclusive interview with Brasil de Fato:

Brasil de Fato: What was most important to Iran’s success in resisting the U.S. and Israeli attacks? Drones, missiles, the Revolutionary Guard, or the Lego videos you made, which won hearts and minds around the world by presenting Iran’s view of this war?

Explosive Man: It was the serenity God granted us. In the Quran, God says that when Muslims—when believers in God—face enemies, He sends a kind of serenity upon them so that they do not fear them. We still do not understand that serenity, but I think we will understand it many years from now.

When I think of ourselves in the first days of the war, in the first nights, we had no leader. Our leader had been martyred. And we were in the streets at night. We shouted it at the United States: “We will defeat the United States,” but we did not really know what it meant for the United States to be against us.

We were in the streets, and I saw an American drone in the sky. We were not afraid at all. It was an air-defense system that shot it down, and we were watching. The people—men, women, elderly men, elderly women, children—no one felt fear. That is what God did for us. It is very powerful.

Tell us a little about the group. You began producing content for the public about five years ago. How did you move from personal videos with a presenter to English-language animations made for the whole world?

We were making videos for the Iranian public. In the first days of the war, we made our first Lego video. We posted it on our channels on Iranian apps. Then we went to sleep. When we woke up, we saw that an account had tweeted the video. Soon afterward, The Times and The Telegraph were writing about it. So we realized it was something different, and that this should be our next step: to start making videos for English-speaking audiences.

Could we say that your main audience is the people of the United States?

During the war, yes. Most of our audience is also American. On Twitter, around 60%. Then Canada and Great Britain.

And you are very young—at most 20 years old.

We have a colleague who is 15.

You combine backgrounds in communications, engineering, theology, and AI. How do these different backgrounds come together in your work? What is the creative process like?

Passion and love unite us, and we all love our country. So, with these different backgrounds, we came together to create something for our country. As for the process, we have an ideas bank. We discuss ideas weekly. You know, we have ideas 24 hours a day. We think about the work even when we are sleeping. It is incredible. So we have an ideas bank, and we hold meetings during the week. We think about the ideas, write our plans, write our scripts, and throughout the week we produce them one by one.

We trained ourselves to do all of this. At the beginning, one of us knew how to use Photoshop, one knew how to animate, another knew how to communicate. But we trained ourselves so that a single person could do everything—from writing the script to animating, creating images, and communicating. We read books about cinema. We watched videos.

Did you decide to start with this type of video because of the war, or were you already making content with a global audience in mind?

No, we made the first Lego video on the last day of the 12-day war. But when the ceasefire began, we did not publish it. Still, we were ready; we knew how to make it. So, in the first days of the next war, we posted the first video, but for the Iranian public. The first was “Chronicles of Victory,” then “The Strait of Hormuz Is Closed,” and then “A Vengeance for All.”

That is the video in which you show Black people in the United States, Indigenous peoples, Palestinians, and the girls who suffered because of Epstein?

Yes. It is the one I like most. I cried when I watched it. It was incredible. Then came “Rise Up,” in Persian, with that religious singer Mahdi Rasouli. It said, “Heidar, Heidar.” That was the one I liked most. “Heidar” means “lion”; it is an epithet of our first Imam, Imam Ali [the son-in-law of Muhammad].

[…]

What led you to choose Lego as a form of expression?

We tried many formats. But Lego has a certain comic quality. You do not need to be exactly realistic. If you are making Trump, you can make something that resembles him, and people will know it is Trump. When you make realistic videos, people look for flaws. They say: “Ah, Trump is not like that. His nose is not like that. His hair is not like that.” But when you make Lego videos, people look for similarities. They say: “Ah, that really looks like him.” That is an advantage of using Lego, and Lego brings people nostalgia. When people were children, their children played with Legos, or they themselves played with Lego.

Many of you are at university, and the university was being bombed. What was it like to post the videos, receive hundreds of millions of views, and at the same time have little internet access while drones and missiles flew overhead? What were those 40 days of war like for you?

We felt that we were fighting too. We are a media army; we are media guerrillas, and we needed to act fast. We did not go home at night. We slept there, in our office. Yes, we worked 24 hours a day, and we wanted to do something. It was our duty. We did not want anything from anyone. We only wanted to fulfill our duty for our country.

You have said that you studied U.S. media and reverse-engineered their narratives about wars. At the same time, the Iranian armed forces also reverse-engineered Western drones and missiles. In the case of media, what does that reverse engineering mean?

We have lived in an environment of Western media warfare for years. We were born into it. There are many Persian-language channels sponsored by the United States, Saudi Arabia, and Israel. So that is our environment. We learned it naturally. We were not taught propaganda or psychological warfare at university.

We lived it. So we saw how Western media buries the truth beneath its lies. How it reverses truth and falsehood. How it magnifies a small problem in our country as much as possible. How it makes our young people lose faith in our country. So we understood this and decided to do something against it.

But not with lies—not with that kind of cruelty, that kind of propaganda—but with the truth. We knew that humanity has a love for truth in its soul. So when you speak the truth, it liberates the mind; it unbinds it. Some chains will break. People will understand: “Ah, there is a truth. They were lying to me all these years.” So we turned the situation around, but not with lies.

You use AI in the videos, but AI also carries a great deal of Western bias. What has that experience been like, and how do you confront that bias?

Sometimes we had problems with prompts and with the restrictions on AI accounts. Sometimes the AI says: “Ah, we cannot do that because of such-and-such. We cannot challenge that person. We cannot say that. We cannot create that image.” But we find a way around it. They are little magic tricks [laughs].

Both YouTube and Instagram took your accounts down. Even so, the videos kept spreading everywhere. Do you have any idea how many accounts are sharing your videos?

I do not know how many accounts, but I know that in the first months of our work, our work received more than 1 billion views worldwide.

[…]

This is the first time in history that the United States wages war against a country without controlling the narrative.

In ‘unprecedented confrontation,’ IDF chief said resists Netanyahu’s order for military action tied to Iran

Oct 26, 2026

An “unprecedented confrontation” has been unfolding in recent days between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir surrounding an instruction by the prime minister for unspecified military action that defense officials believe could lead to a swift confrontation with Iran shortly before the election, Channel 12 reported Sunday.

The TV network, which cited anonymous sources, said Zamir had been resisting carrying out the military action, no details of which were provided, and sought further deliberations, as well as signed documentation from Netanyahu regarding legal authorization for it.

The issue had come to a head in the past 24 hours, the outlet said, noting that its report was being broadcast within the limitations of Israel’s military censorship regulations.

It quoted a military source saying, “This relates to an action that could lead to a flare-up with Iran, at a sensitive and dramatic moment, creating this [potential] miscalculation.”

The report further quoted unnamed sources familiar with the issue, who said there was concern among military leaders of an effort by the political leadership “to utilize the Iranian issue for political benefit.”

Asked about the report during an interview with Channel 14, Netanyahu called it “nonsense,” saying “there was no fight” with Zamir. Earlier in the interview, the prime minister said that he had recently “instructed the IDF and Mossad to topple the [Iranian] regime,” though this did not seem to be connected to the report of a specific instruction from recent days.

The Channel 12 report said that the hostility and tension between Netanyahu and Zamir were evident at a discussion at Palmahim Airbase on Sunday, where the atmosphere in the room was “extremely sour.”

The report quoted a senior security source as saying, “History will not forget the role that Zamir has played in recent days,” without offering further details.

Channel 13 reported on Thursday that Zamir had said during a recent private meeting that he did not see an operational need to strike Iran before the election. “We do not see any indications of a need to strike Iran before the election. If we determine that a strike on Iran is necessary, we will carry it out,” Zamir was quoted as saying.

Reports have intensified in the final stretch of the election campaign that Netanyahu could be seeking renewed conflict with Iran, allegedly to boost his election prospects or possibly delay the vote. The prime minister has denied such intentions.

Chorus of opposition outrage: He’s gone off the rails

Responding to Sunday’s report, opposition leaders said Netanyahu presented a security threat to the country.

Opposition frontrunner Gadi Eisenkot posted on X, “Netanyahu, I’m watching you,” and added that the premier “refuses to understand that Israel’s security isn’t a tool in a political game, that the lives of Israel’s citizens and IDF soldiers aren’t worthless, and the State of Israel is not his private property.”

Eisenkot voiced support for Zamir and said he would not let “the IDF be turned into a tool in Netanyahu’s campaign of survival.”

Speaking at a campaign rally shortly before Channel 12’s report aired, Eisenkot had told supporters that Netanyahu would go to any lengths to retain power. “I see the polls, I know the data, and I know Netanyahu,” Eisenkot, who chairs the Yashar party, said. “He’ll stop at nothing — no lie, no extreme measure — to stay in power.”

Opposition Leader Yair Lapid, number two in the opposition’s B’Yachad party, wrote that Netanyahu “wants to bring about an escalation and conflict with Iran just to postpone the election. The man has gone off the rails. We must send him home.”

Yair Golan, chair of the left-wing Democrats party and a former deputy IDF chief, voiced support for Zamir and added, “We must not allow any military step that lacks a clear security rationale, strategic goal, and responsible plan of action.”

He added, “When the citizens of Israel go out to vote on Tuesday, they must remember: Netanyahu presents a security threat to Israel. He will not hesitate to sacrifice our children’s lives for his survival on the eve of the election — that’s what the IDF is trying to block.”

Avigdor Liberman, chair of the hawkish Yisrael Beytenu party, wrote, “I have no doubt that Bibi is trying to forcefully drag Israel into military action in order to prevent the election. This behavior is tantamount to treason toward the state and its security.”

He called on Zamir to protect the IDF and its soldiers, and not to “risk them because of the prime minister’s worry that he’s going to lose the election.”

PM again warns Iran

At the same time, both Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz have increased their threatening rhetoric toward Iran.

Netanyahu on Sunday again warned that Iran or one of its allies could attack in the coming days, urging Tehran not to “test” Israel.

Making the comments in front of an Arrow anti-ballistic missile battery at the Palmahim base, Netanyahu said that the military was prepared for any scenario on “both defense and offense.”

“We have intelligence signs that Iran and its proxies could challenge us with attacks in order to disrupt the elections,” he said, without elaborating.

Netanyahu has issued several similar warnings in recent weeks, sparking complaints from his election rivals, who have accused him of fearmongering and pushing for a renewal of the war against Iran to influence or delay the October 27 vote.

“I’m warning them,” Netanyahu said of Iran on Sunday. “Don’t test us.”

“You will suffer disproportionate blows,” he said. “We are much stronger than you think. Don’t underestimate us. Don’t test us.”

Netanyahu’s warning came hours after he posted an AI image on social media of a nuclear bomb exploding over Tel Aviv, and text suggesting Israel could face a second Holocaust if he was not reelected.

Axios reporter Barak Ravid said officials in the White House were alarmed by the post, fearing it could cause Iranian officials to miscalculate and attack, restarting the war.

He said US President Donald Trump’s statement that there would be no strike on Iran on Sunday may have been a reaction to the prime minister’s post, designed to calm officials in Tehran.

Trump’s comments came just hours after saying that he was facing a crucial decision on Iran.

“Do I make a deal with them or do I finish them off?” he told Fox News. “That’s the only question.”

“We now control the Hormuz Strait,” Trump continued, referring to the critical pathway for the global oil and gas supply, which Iran has sought to obstruct since the beginning of the war in late February. “We get everything; they get nothing.”

Trump said that the US knows “exactly what’s going on at Pickaxe Mountain,” referring to a key Iranian nuclear site that has not been attacked. “We can read the badge on somebody’s shirt.”

Iran says new war will not change anything

Responding to the repeated threats from Netanyahu and Trump, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Sunday that a potential resumption of war would not change his country’s positions.

“Recently, there has been talk of a new war, but I am already thinking about the post-war period. Whether there is war or not, our policies remain the same,” said Araghchi during a televised event in Tehran.

“They have already done so twice and have seen the results,” he said. “If they want to try again, they know they will achieve no different outcome from those of the past.”

An April 8 ceasefire between Iran and the United States put an end to the most intense fighting, apart from sporadic exchanges of fire in and around the strategic Strait of Hormuz, a key route for global energy supplies.

These military flare-ups have seen a lull in recent weeks.

Iran has claimed control over the strait since the outbreak of the war and has regularly targeted vessels that attempt to cross without its authorization — moves strongly opposed by Washington and countries in the region.

In response, the US has been maintaining a naval counter-blockade on Iranian ports.

In June, Iran agreed with the United States to a memorandum of understanding laying out a pathway to a permanent settlement of the conflict, only for the deal to quickly unravel as each side accused the other of violating it.

Tehran has since called for a return to talks to end the conflict. According to sources, Qatari mediators were in Tehran on Sunday as part of an effort to de-escalate regional tensions in coordination with the US, though the extent of the meeting was not reported.

“The current war has changed everything. We must accept that new realities are taking hold. Shipping routes through the Strait of Hormuz will no longer be the same, and the management of the strait will no longer be the same,” said Araghchi.

“To achieve peace and stability, our region must move towards the complete absence of foreign forces.”

Iran Hosts Quadrilateral Meeting with Pakistan, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia on Regional Security

Iran Hosts Quadrilateral Meeting with Pakistan, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia on Regional Security (October 26, 2026),

Al-Manar

Oct 26, 2026

A quadrilateral meeting between Iran, Pakistan, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia on regional security and stability was held in Tehran.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry said President Masoud Pezeshkian met with representatives responsible for defense and security affairs from Turkey, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia. The meeting was attended by National Security Council Secretary Mohsen Rezaei and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.

Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Ministry said the defense minister’s visit to Tehran was part of efforts by the parties to the Mecca Agreement on joint defense to de-escalate tensions.

The ministry added that the visit aimed to encourage dialogue and diplomatic solutions among the parties to the current crisis and support mediation efforts led by Qatar and Pakistan.

“We look forward to the parties to the crisis engaging positively and pragmatically with the outcomes of the visit and the mediation efforts,” the ministry said, stressing the importance of opening channels of negotiation to prevent a return to military escalation in the region.

It also expressed hope that an agreement would be reached to end the crisis and achieve security and peace in the region and around the world.

Earlier, an Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson said Tehran was hosting officials from Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Turkey, adding that the initiative for the meeting emerged during Pakistani Army Chief Asim Munir’s visit to Tehran.

The spokesperson said the meeting could pave the way for establishing regional security through greater cooperation among countries in the region.

He added that efforts by regional countries to develop mechanisms for ensuring security based on their own interests were welcome, emphasizing the importance of initiatives that strengthen their ability to safeguard regional stability and security.
