Israel has “fully mobilized” its offensive and defensive capabilities | The Israel Defense Forces is conducting “precise strikes on military targets” in Iran, IDF spokesperson Daniel Hagari confirmed early Saturday. [...] The scale of the attack was not immediately clear, and there was no information on damage in the Islamic Republic. A Tehran resident told AP that at least seven explosions could be heard in the capital. On October 1, Iran fired nearly 200 ballistic missiles at Israel in response to the killing of the Hamas and Hezbollah leaders as well as an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) general. Israel has since threatened to deliver a “deadly, pinpoint accurate, and surprising” retaliation, without specifying any time frame.

The Israeli defense minister said Israel is fighting a war on 'seven fronts' | Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said Wednesday that he told a group of Israeli pilots and air crews that the world will see the Israeli military’s “might” once it launches an attack on Iran. 💬 “In my conversation with them I emphasized – after we attack Iran, everyone will understand your might, the process of preparation and training – any enemy that tries to harm the state of Israel will pay a heavy price,” Gallant wrote on X. He said in the post that Israel was fighting a war on “seven fronts,” referring to Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, and Iran.

Ten individual analyses, all using different methods, have now confirmed that Covid mRNA “vaccines” have caused alarming numbers of deaths | The analyses were compiled by data expert and MIT scientist Steve Kirsch, the founder of the Vaccine Safety Research Foundation (VSRF). Kirsch warns that the analyses prove that the “vaccines” were actually far more dangerous than the virus they were supposedly meant to tackle. According to the multiple methods complied by Kirsch, the lowest Covid injection death toll is estimated to be above 200,000. However, some of the analyses put this number far higher.

Simplicius | The BRICS 2024 summit kicked off as the big highlight of the week. There are an endless amount of things to be said from a variety of different analytical perspectives, but we’ll just mention a few of the salient points that stick out most for now. | Overall, the key takeaway from the BRICS summit can be the following. Look closely at some of the scenes presented: India and China after having just negotiated a settlement to their border conflict, Armenia and Azerbaijan hashing out their disputes, other “ostracized” members of the world community being greeted with open arms, no leering judgmental supremacism, condescending sermonizing and pompous pontificating like so often seen by the West at their global institutions, from the EU to the UN, etc. ■ The BRICS’ strongest achievement is sending a message of acceptance, compromise, openness, civility, and cooperation—the true definition of anti-illiberal qualities, the same the West so adamantly claims it champions. There was a kind of contagious energy that was palpable in the air: an alternate vision for a world led by sovereign grownups, not the small-minded, nervous little elitist compradors and pushy apparatchiks, the likes seen dotting the halls of the West’s equivalent institutions.
