No possibility of Gaza ceasefire – Biden
Link: https://www.rt.com/news/586950-gaza-ceasefire-no-possibility/
Israel has, however, agreed to daily “four-hour pauses” in fighting, the White House says | US President Joe Biden has ruled out any hope of achieving a lasting ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. Speaking to reporters separately later in the day as he was boarding the Air Force One, the president revealed he had been pushing for a “pause” in fighting “for a lot more than three days.” ● The US, however, has not managed to secure even that long of a pause from Israel, which is apparently determined to continue its war on Hamas until the militant group is completely destroyed. Thus far, Israel has only agreed to implement daily humanitarian breaks, National Security Council spokesman John Kirby revealed during a press conference, hailing this development as “significant steps forward.”

Israel’s Final Solution for the Palestinians
Link: https://www.unz.com/article/israels-final-solution-for-the-palestinians/
Chris Hedges | Gaza is the start. The West Bank is next. | There has always been a strain of Jewish fascism within the Zionist project. Now it has taken control of the Israeli state. [...]
■ A leaked 10-page document from the Israeli Ministry of Intelligence dated Oct. 13, 2023 recommends the forcible and permanent transfer of the Gaza Strip’s 2.3 million Palestinian residents to Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula. It is a grave mistake not to take the blood curdling calls for the wholesale eradication and ethnic cleansing of the Palestinians seriously.[...]
■ The decision to obliterate Gaza has long been the dream of Israel’s crypto-fascists, heirs of Kahane’s movement. These Jewish extremists, which make up the ruling coaltion government, are orchestrating the genocide in Gaza, where hundreds of Palestinians are dying daily. They champion the iconography and language of their homegrown fascism. Jewish identity and Jewish nationalism are the Zionist versions of blood and soil. Jewish supremacy is sanctified by God, as is the slaughter of the Palestinians, who Netanyahu compared to the Biblical Ammonites, massacred by the Israelites. Enemies — usually Muslims — slated for extinction are subhuman who embody evil. Violence and the threat of violence are the only forms of communication those outside the magical circle of Jewish nationalism understand. Millions of Muslims and Christians, including those with Israeli citizenship, are to be purged.

Those that do should be prepared for “provocations,” the deputy foreign minister has said | The US has closed its consulates in St. Petersburg and Vladivostok, while its embassy in Moscow has all but stopped issuing visas to Russians. More than 100 Russians are serving prison time in the US, Moscow’s ambassador to Washington Anatoly Antonov revealed in April. ● Neither country has outright banned their nationals from visiting the other. Russia is still issuing visas to Americans, although the volume of requests has decreased significantly since the Ukraine conflict flared up in early 2022.

Election problems persist .. this time in Kentucky, Mississippi, Pennsylvania and Texas
Voters in counties nationwide ran into a handful of different issues at polling locations during Election Day on Tuesday, from voting machines flipping votes in a Pennsylvania county to electronic poll books malfunctioning in Louisville, Kentucky. | Several states had statewide, local, and/or municipal elections on Tuesday, including Kentucky, Mississippi, Pennsylvania, and Texas. The first two states had gubernatorial elections, while the last two had local and statewide ballot questions or judicial races.■ Because these were off-year elections, turnout was lower than either midterm or presidential elections, as local news outlets reported. During the larger turnout in both the 2020 presidential and 2022 midterm elections, counties in various states experienced numerous irregularities that led to a plethora of lawsuits.

■ Palestinian Resistance Stands Firm Against Israeli Invasion as Aerial Assaults Bring Devastation | In a heart-wrenching display of brutality, Israeli aircraft have unleashed a relentless onslaught, raining down terror upon Palestinian civilians and targeting the very essence of life itself. With hundreds of raids, they have left no stone unturned, bombarding innocent civilians and subjecting them to unspeakable horrors. The latest chapter in this tragic saga unfolded near the Ansar roundabout, west of Gaza City, where the occupation artillery struck a school housing displaced people. The scene was one of unimaginable devastation, as the innocent lives of thirteen citizens, most of them children, were abruptly cut short. Eyewitness accounts, relayed by Al-Manar’s correspondent, paint a grim picture of the aftermath.
■ Palestinian Resistance Continues to Defy Zionist Invasion | To retaliate against the merciless massacres targeting civilians, the Palestinian resistance, led by the Martyr Ezz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, has once again struck a blow against the Zionist invasion of the Gaza Strip. For the 32nd day in a row, the heroic fighters have unleashed their might, destroying enemy vehicles and eliminating soldiers and officers. According to the spokesman for the Martyr Ezz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, the past few hours witnessed the destruction of 15 military vehicles on the outskirts of the Beach Camp and in Beit Hanoun. The invading forces were also bombarded with mortar shells, as fierce clashes erupted on various fronts of the fighting.
■ ’We Will Not Be Exiled’ - The Final Messages of Gaza Victims | ‘Israel’s’ relentless bombing of Gaza since 7 October has flattened entire neighborhoods and left the besieged enclave resembling an apocalyptic nightmare. The death toll, one month on, has surpassed 10,000 people and includes more than 4,000 children, as places of safety, such as mosques, churches, media centers, hospitals and supermarkets, have been bombed. On the ground, Gaza's residents describe the air strikes, the constant explosions and near-death experiences. The surrealism of the situation is seen on social media, as Palestinians use platforms like X, formerly Twitter, and Instagram to get their voices out, only for those same voices to disappear forever after the people who posted them are killed in air strikes. Many post their stories with the caveat that this message might be their last.
Israeli attacks kill 509 Palestinians in hospitals, WHO report says
The World Health Organization (WHO) has published a report highlighting that Israeli military operations in the occupied Palestinian territories have led to the tragic loss of 509 Palestinian lives, which includes both patients seeking medical care and healthcare professionals. | Many hospitals in northern Gaza have been evacuated, and Israel has bombed the surroundings of some hospitals. Some hospitals had to halt their operations due to damage from the bombardment or a lack of fuel. [...] There are a total of 34 hospitals in Gaza, with approximately 13 hospitals with a capacity of around 2,000 beds directly managed by the Ministry of Health. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) provides healthcare services to over 70% of the population in the Gaza Strip. Some healthcare facilities are also managed by government agencies or organizations such as the Palestinian Red Crescent and the Palestinian Medical Relief Society. In addition to numerous polyclinics and medical centers under the Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip, charity organizations also provide essential medical services in residential areas.

US bases in Iraq, Syria targeted by drones; Pentagon says 45 US troops injured in recent attacks
Two major US-run military bases in Syria’s northeastern province of Hasakah and Iraq’s semi-autonomous Kurdistan region have been once again targeted by drones, amid smoldering anti-US sentiments in the region over its unconditional support for Israel’s onslaught on the Gaza Strip. | Citing local sources speaking on condition of anonymity, Lebanon’s Arabic-language al-Mayadeen television news network reported that several unmanned aerial vehicles struck targets inside the US military installation near al-Khadra village in Hasakah province early on Tuesday morning. There were no immediate reports about the extent of damage at the military facility, and possible casualties. Earlier, a drone attack targeted US forces based near the Erbil International Airport. The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an umbrella group of anti-terror fighters, has claimed responsibility for most of the dozens of recent attacks against US occupation forces in Iraq and Syria, saying they were carried out in retaliation for US support of Israel’s bloody military campaign against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. The Iraqi anti-terror group said, for the first time they launched Al-Aqsa 1 medium-range missile against the US occupation's bases in Iraq and Syria.
Trump Lawyer Alina Habba: NY Case Is ‘Sideshow’ for Letitia James’s Politics
Former President Donald Trump’s New York civil fraud case regarding the valuation of his assets is nothing more than a “sideshow” for New York Attorney General Letitia James’s politics, Trump lawyer and spokeswoman Alina Habba said during a Tuesday appearance on Breitbart News Daily. 💬 “You know, these people are trying to take away one of the most epic companies and iconic companies in New York. And they think this is just, you know, politics, a show, and it’s not. It’s a disgrace what they’re doing,” she said, noting that she wished Monday’s event had been televised so the “world would really understand what we’re up against here.” “They don’t love his politics so they come after him,” she said, further highlighting how unfair the case is in that it was decided on summary judgment “before we even walked in the court.” “That tells you how ridiculous this is — before he even heard a witness,” she said, explaining that the judge essentially determined Trump to be guilty “before we had a trial.”

Pennsylvania county voting machines flipping votes for superior court retention races
Pennsylvania county voting machines flipping votes for superior court retention races | "Voting" machines in a Pennsylvania county are flipping votes for elections regarding whether two state appeals court judges should be retained, according to county officials. Tuesday is Election Day in Pennsylvania for judicial positions and county, local, and municipal offices. However, county officials said that electronic voting machines are flipping votes in Northampton County for deciding whether Pennsylvania Superior Court Judges Jack Panella and Victor Stabile should remain on the bench for additional 10-year terms. The office of Northampton County Executive Lamont McClure released a statement on Tuesday explaining the issue. "It appears that when a voter selects a 'Yes' or a 'No' for one of the candidates for retention to the Pennsylvania Superior Court, the selection is recorded on the paper ballot and on the machine for the other candidate," the county office wrote.
All bakeries in northern Gaza out of service as threat of famine looms
The spokesperson for the Ministry of Interior in Gaza says all the bakeries in the north are out of service with hundreds of thousands risking famine. | Gaza interior minister Iyad al-Bazm said all the bakeries in the governorates of Gaza and northern Gaza have been taken out of service, which threatens the lives of 900,000 people who are still there and refusing to be forcibly displaced. 💬 "All the bakeries in the governorates of Gaza and norhtern Gaza are out of service, which puts at risk the lives of 900,000 people who are still refusing to be forcibly displaced despite the Israeli occupation's efforts to push them out of their homes," the Interior Ministry in Gaza said. He pointed out that residents in the shelters in the Gaza and North Gaza governorates "have not been spared from Israeli bombardment," confirming that "no aid has reached Gaza and North Gaza for 32 days." Al-Bazm emphasized that "the safe passage announced by the occupation is a lie and has turned into a death passage after the crimes committed by the occupation there."

Scientists Revise Forecasted Collision With Renegade Star 29,000 Years From Now
People expecting to be alive in the year 31023 will be pleased to know that predictions of planetary destruction were greatly exaggerated. | Astronomers are revising predictions a renegade star may end life as we know it 29,000 years from now. ● The findings were published earlier this year in a journal of astrophysics research and relate to the star WD 0810–353, a white dwarf. Previous research based on observations from the European Space Agency’s Gaia telescope suggested the star could be moving in our direction. While it may not directly hit Earth, researchers speculated the heavenly body could pass close enough to our solar system to disrupt the Oort cloud, sending some of its comets and icy debris hurtling our way. ● Scientists are now rethinking that conclusion after taking into account the star’s magnetic field. ● Closer examination of the white dwarf has revealed it has an unusually large magnetic field. This was determined while viewing the star through the Very Large Telescope (VLT) located in northern Chile’s remote Atacama Desert.
Lawmakers Introduce Section 702 Bill Renewing Spying Powers for US Intel Agencies
Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act has repeatedly been condemned, with critics highlighting how its broad provisions allow warrantless surveillance of foreign nationals. | A bipartisan group of US lawmakers introduced a bill to reauthorize Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act on Tuesday, touting new provisions they claim address longstanding concerns. 💬 “Americans understand that it's possible to confront our countries' adversaries ferociously without throwing our constitutional rights into the garbage can,” said Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR), one of the bill’s co-sponsors, at a news conference. “Our Founding Fathers made it clear that if government agencies want to read an American's private communications, they should get a warrant.” Section 702 was a provision of the US Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act first enacted in 2008 to ostensibly enhance counter-terrorism operations. The legislation codified the collection of electronic data from around the globe by US intelligence agencies.

According to Newsweek magazine on November 3rd (“Nuclear Bomb Map Shows Impact if Biden’s New Weapon Dropped on Russia”): A nuclear bomb being developed by the Biden administration could wreak havoc in Moscow, according to a simulation analyzed by Newsweek. | The creation of a new U.S. bomb, a variation of the B61 gravity bomb developed in the 1960s during the Cold War, was announced by the Department of Defense (DoD) last week [27 October 2023: “‘The B61-13 will strengthen deterrence of adversaries and assurance of allies and partners by providing the President with additional options against certain harder and large-area military targets’ [i.e, Moscow], the release states, while adding that the bomb would ‘include the modern safety, security, and accuracy features’ of the B61-12, an Obama-era variant’.”]. A news release by the Pentagon said that the B61-13 is intended to “strengthen deterrence of adversaries and assurance of allies” by providing President Joe Biden “with additional options against certain harder and large-area military targets.”

A bill on fighting “misinformation and disinformation” and “harm” aims to empower a government agency to police online expression | The Australian Government has recently introduced in Parliament a new law proposal to ban officially unapproved online content. Digital companies are expected to adopt a code of conduct which will see them censor speech based on broad, vague and far-reaching directives. ● The Communications Legislation Amendment (Combating Misinformation and Disinformation) Bill 2023 foreshadows the imposition of a legal obligation on digital platforms to police alleged ‘misinformation’ and ‘disinformation’. If that does not work, the law proposal provides for the full empowerment of the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) to directly intervene for the purpose of preventing ‘harm’.

The Pentagon has raised some eyebrows with its latest UAP/UFO initiative. | According to the latest reports, the Pentagon has created a new website and form submission for all current and former U.S. military or DOD contractors to report any knowledge they have of clandestine UFO reverse engineering projects. Critics of the new website claim that this is a poor way to share information that could potentially be classified or harm U.S. defense interests. Of course, a glance at the website’s instructions and dictates warns personnel not to share any classified information or information that cannot be disseminated to the public. If you are a current or former U.S. service member or a current or former Department of Defense contractor with an appropriate report and evidence, feel free to submit a report, if you are not, stay away!
