Iraqi resistance fighters have launched separate drone strikes on "vital" targets within Israeli-occupied territories, in retaliation for the Tel Aviv regime’s ongoing brutalities against Palestinians across Gaza and military aggression in Lebanon. | The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an umbrella group of anti-terror fighters, in separate statements published on its Telegram channel on Friday, claimed responsibility for six drone strikes against Israeli targets in the occupied lands. In one of the statements, the group said it had attacked a vital target in the occupied Golan Heights. It said the attack was carried out in continuation of resistance against the occupying Israeli regime, in support of the Palestinian and Lebanese nations, and in response to the massacres that the Zionist entity is perpetrating against ordinary people. The coalition noted that it will continue to target and destroy important installations across the occupied lands.

The US Republican presidential candidate [took] part in a charity event in Arizona | Conservative journalist Tucker Carlson is conducting a live interview with US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump just days before Election Day. Trump has joined Carlson in Glendale, Arizona for a charity event aimed at raising money for the victims of hurricanes Milton and Helene. Americans will go to the polls on November 5 to decide between Trump and his Democratic rival, Vice President Kamala Harris. The high-stakes election has been described as one of the most contentious and controversial political cycles in recent memory, with both candidates trading insults and accusing each other of wrecking the country.

✅ Here’s Why Trump Just Claimed Credit For “Killing” Nord Stream II (Andrew Korybko)

Adnrew Korybko | He wanted to dispel whatever doubts some undecided voters might still have about his ties to Russia by reminding them that he imposed sanctions against that megaproject, which debunked the Democrats’ Russiagate claims and were even hypocritically waived by Biden for a nine-month period. | Trump boasted during his live interview with Tucker Carlson at a charity event in Arizona on Thursday night that he was responsible for “killing” Nord Stream II. In his words, “The Democrats] love to say that I was a friend of Russia, I worked for Russia, I was a Russian spy. The biggest job Russia ever had [was] Nord Stream 2. This is the biggest pipeline in the world, [it] goes from Russia to Germany and all over Europe. I killed it. Nobody would kill it but me. I stopped it.” He has a point that’ll now be elaborated on. ■ For starters, he clearly wasn’t referring to September 2022’s terrorist attack since he wasn’t in office then and therefore couldn’t have had anything to do with it. Rather, what he wanted to convey is that the Democrats’ false claims of him being a Russian puppet are debunked by the fact that he sanctioned Nord Stream II, which was done in an attempt to poach the European energy market from Russia. In an unexpected turn of events, Biden waived those sanctions in May 2021, one month before meeting Putin.

Tyler Durden | Ursula von der Leyen advocates "pre-bunking" in the public forum to "vaccinate" people against "disinformation"... | EU President Ursula von der Leyen just joined the ranks of former Senator John Kerry and other globalist ghouls in declaring war on free speech by perversely proclaiming that the EU citizenry needs to be “vaccinated against disinformation.” ■ Like every censor in history, she characterizes her censorship program as a means of expunging erroneous information and ideas from public discourse. By using the word “disinformation,” she implies that she and her clique are already the sole possessors of the truth about everything and that everyone who has and shares heterodox ideas is necessarily in error.

Foreign funding is used for this purpose, Irakli Kobakhidze noted | Unprecedented foreign interference was observed during Georgia’s latest parliamentary elections, Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze said. [...] Parliamentary elections were held in Georgia on October 26, employing the widespread use of electronic ballot boxes for the first time. According to the Central Election Commission, the ruling Georgian Dream-Democratic Georgia party got 53.93% of the vote. As the winner it has the right to form the government on its own. Four opposition parties cleared the five-percent threshold: Coalition for Change had 11%, Unity-National Movement — 10.16%, Strong Georgia — 8.8%, and Gakharia for Georgia — 7.76%. ● All opposition parties that have entered parliament refuse to recognize the results of the elections, and so does Georgian president Salome Zourabichvili. According to her, the Central Election Commission data is rigged and in reality the opposition received more votes than the Georgian Dream party and therefore has the majority of seats in parliament.
