Gaza’s children face genetic harm ‘for generations to come’ from Israel’s genocide
Rice is the only nutritious food Mohamed Aldreini can afford to feed his 22-month-old daughter, Rewan.
The Palestinian toddler has never tasted her mother’s milk since being born in November 2023, a month after the Israeli genocide in Gaza began.
Rewan’s mother, now caring for four children, is battling depression.
Her body stopped producing milk after repeated trauma caused by the Israeli siege and relentless bombardment.
The family was forced to flee their home in Beit Lahia, in the northern Gaza Strip, first to Gaza City, then to Khan Younis.
“These events led to Rewan’s mother being diagnosed with PTSD,” Aldreini told Middle East Eye, as his wife boils a small pot of rice to prepare milkless rice pudding for their daughter.
Rewan has inherited her mother’s frailty.
She cannot walk, barely speaks, suffers from a weak immune system, heart problems, and severe malnutrition.
She is continuing to lose weight and now weighs just 7kg. Her health is deteriorating under what her father calls “engineered starvation” imposed by Israel on the Gaza Strip. https://israelpalestinenews.org/gazas-children-face-genetic-harm/Another flotilla, always on open seas: Israeli Forces Seize Gaza Aid Flotilla in International Waters https://en.yenisafak.com/world/israeli-forces-seize-gaza-aid-flotilla-in-international-waters-3709014

Putin had previously apologized for the “tragic incident” – but this marks the first time he is saying formally that Russia takes responsibility, and is seeking to mend ties with Baku.
Azerbaijani officials had accused Russia of refusing the aircraft permission to land on its territory after it was hit, forcing the badly damaged aircraft to extend its time in the air further.
“Of course, everything that is required in such tragic cases will be done by the Russian side on compensation and a legal assessment of all official things will be given,” Putin told Aliyev in a face-to-face meeting, which was the first in a year since the incident happened. “It is our duty, I repeat once again … to give an objective assessment of everything that happened and to identify the true causes.”
According to a summary of Putin’s explanation of the crash:
The Russian president informed Aliyev that an incursion of three Ukrainian drones was the root cause of the tragedy, with one of them still in the air when the AZAL flight 8243 was damaged. According to Putin, the plane was “most likely hit by debris” from a missile that self-destructed in the air.
The incident took place near Grozny, Russia. The crew tried to divert the flight, but the plane eventually crash-landed in Kazakhstan. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/putin-issues-rare-apology-compensation-azerbaijan-plane-disaster Russia has denounced its agreement with the United States on the disposal of weapons-grade plutonium.
Moscow considers it “unacceptable” to fulfill its obligations under the agreement with the United States on the disposal of weapons-grade plutonium, which is necessary for the creation of a nuclear weapons, The agreement between Russia and the United States was signed back in 2000 and ratified in 2001. According to the agreement, both parties were required to dispose of 34 tons of weapons-grade plutonium, but the United States failed to comply with any of the agreement’s provisions. https://en.topwar.ru/272046-rossija-denonsirovala-soglashenie-s-ssha-po-utilizacii-oruzhejnogo-plutonija.html John Helmer, ELECTRIC WAR ON THE UKRAINE BATTLEFIELD IS TURNING THE LIGHTS ON IN THE KREMLIN
When President Vladimir Putin acknowledged on the weekend that for war operations, he refers to his “colleagues”, he meant, among several things, that he has removed his restrictions on the General Staff’s conduct of the electric war on the Ukrainian battlefield as far west as the Polish border...
..At the same time as Putin was meeting with the military leaders, he authorized spokesman Dmitry Peskov to issue a warning to Trump not to escalate with the Tomahawk. This was intended as his reply to Trump’s claim the day before in the Oval Office that he had “sort of made a [Tomahawk supply] decision, pretty much.” Trump added that he will have the final say on targets in Russia. “I think I want to find out what they’re doing with them. You know, where are they sending them. I guess I’d have to ask that question…No, no, I want to — I would — I would ask some questions. I want to see what’s — I would ask some questions. I am not looking to see an escalation.”
Putin’s spokesman challenged that. “This will imply a serious spiral of escalation, which, however, will not be able to change the battlefield situation for the Kiev regime. But it is important to bear in mind in this context, putting aside various nuances, that these missiles can be equipped with nuclear warheads…This is a serious spiral of escalation, indeed. We understand that we need to wait for, perhaps, clearer statements, if they follow. As for arms supplies, they are usually sent and then statements follow. At least, that’s the way it was under the Biden administration. Let’s wait and see how things go this time around.” https://johnhelmer.net/electric-war-on-the-ukraine-battlefield-is-turning-the-lights-on-in-the-kremlin/”Oreshnik” is “hazelnut”: “Nut” in Cuba: Russia’s response to Tomahawk missile supplies to Kyiv could crush the US https://en.topcor.ru/64901-oreshnik-na-kube-otvet-rf-na-postavki-tomagavkov-kievu-mozhet-sokrushit-ssha.html

Participant Gail Tverberg on implications of declining fuels and rising prices: What has gone wrong with the economy? Can it be fixed?
We are at a time when there seems to be far more conflict than in the past. At least part of the problem is that slowing growth in the world economy is making it more difficult to repay debt with interest, especially for governments. A related issue is that government promises for pensions and healthcare costs are becoming more difficult to pay. Donald Trump is trying to make numerous changes that are distasteful both to other countries and to many people living within the US. What is going wrong with the economy?
In my view, major cracks are developing in the economy because we are heading toward a collapse scenario of the type that Dr. Joseph Tainter talks about in his book, “The Collapse of Complex Societies.” No one has told the general population about the potential problem, partly because they don’t fully understand the issues themselves, and partly because the underlying causes are too frightening to discuss with the public. At the root of these collapse-related issues is a physics issue, which is only gradually being fully understood...
..History suggests that if we can figure out how to use fossil fuels more efficiently, the price of fossil fuels can rise higher. With a higher (inflation-adjusted) price, more oil and other fossil fuels can perhaps be extracted. https://gailtverberg.substack.com/p/what-has-gone-wrong-with-the-economy Thanks Eleni, from 9/11/21 Everything points to Thierry Meyssan being right today
By challenging the official version of the 9/11 attacks, Thierry Meyssan opened a worldwide debate. But the essence of his book on the subject was a political science study predicting the evolution of the United States after these crimes. The problem is not how the attacks were committed, but why the US reacted that day by violating its own Constitution, why it implemented in the following days very deep reforms of its institutions that changed its nature…
..Informed by his staff that a Russian satellite had just observed a missile being fired from a Navy ship off the coast of Washington at the Pentagon, the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, tried to contact his US counterpart. He was unable to do so. Not because the telephone networks had broken down, but because George W. Bush was temporarily no longer president.
Who exactly were the members of this ’Continuity Government’ and what did they do during the time they were in power? We still don’t know. The members of Congress who asked the question were not allowed to hold a session of their assembly on the subject.
Please understand that until we have clarification, the 9/11 controversy will continue. The procedure implemented on September 11 was designed by President Eisenhower at a time when nuclear war was feared. If he, the Speakers and a majority of Congress were killed, there would be no constitutional powers. The military would logically have to assume the continuity of government. But this was obviously not the case on that day. Not one elected official was dead. The transfer of power was therefore unconstitutional. It was strictly speaking a coup d’état. https://www.voltairenet.org/article213935.html Turning Point Confirms Authenticity of Leaked Charlie Kirk Text Messages About Conflicts with Donors
Controversial podcaster Candace Owens shared text messages that seemed to confirm that Kirk, at the very least, was growing disenfranchised with Jewish donors. Many instantly dismissed Owens’ claims, but there may be some credence to them.
And no, it’s not just Candace Owens claiming they’re real. TPUSA affirmed the messages’ authenticity, as well. https://www.westernjournal.com/turning-point-confirms-authenticity-leaked-charlie-kirk-text-messages-conflicts-donors/ Escape Key, Integral Man
This is a plausible outcome emerging from a vision over a century in the making.

To understand the potential future of global governance, we must trace this genealogy from Bogdanov’s Tektology through General Systems Theory to today’s digital control infrastructure, recognising that what appears novel is actually the culmination of a remarkably consistent intellectual project. https://escapekey.substack.com/p/integral-manThey suck up water and electricity, don’t provide local jobs, and can be kept out of your town: America’s Growing Pushback Against Data Centers https://www.zerohedge.com/energy/americas-growing-pushback-against-data-centers

Re-re-rehypothecation of assets: First Brands Collapse Blindsides Wall Street, Exposing Cracks in a Hot Corner of Finance
That so few outside of First Brands had a full view of all the red flags around the auto-parts supplier before it imploded spectacularly late last month, stands as a stark example of the growing risks of money flooding into the opaque world of private financing.
By the time it all came crashing down, the company’s sprawling network of auto-parts factories and distribution centers was on the hook for over $10 billion to some of the biggest firms on Wall Street: Jefferies, UBS and Millennium, among others.
While the full extent of the damage — and what exactly went wrong — remains unclear 11 days after First Brands declared bankruptcy, the stakes were raised on Wednesday night when one of First Brands’ financial partners made an emergency court filing calling for an independent investigation into $2.3 billion tied to the company it said had “simply vanished.” https://finance.yahoo.com/news/first-brands-collapse-blindsides-wall-143554303.htmlOctober 11, 2025 at 2:02 am #197271John Day

Participant Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, Health Watch: What to Do about ACA Subsidies
A major sticking point in reopening the government is the extension of expiring Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies. Without these subsidies, insurance premiums will double for those receiving them. Because of this, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) is breaking ranks with the Republican Party.
It should be obvious that government benefits, once granted, are virtually impossible to take away, and a subsidy “cliff” will be politically disastrous. The subsidies were necessary to mask the fact that affordable options were being taken away, and extremely expensive coverage mandates were being imposed. The cliff was needed to mask the long-term cost of the bill.
So, what can be done now? One suggestion is a conditional extension of the subsidies combined with measures to reduce costs, based on an understanding of why costs are outrageous. The graph below shows the enormous increase in administrators, and the legislation associated with it.
All that administration is supposed to decrease “unnecessary” care. It is time to ask how many tests could be bought for the price of the staff used to deny them...
..We don’t know how much time is wasted by physicians and nurses in documentation that serves no purpose except to justify billing—but it may eat half their time.
Republicans reneged on their promises to repeal ACA. So, how about promising that “if you like your ACA plan you can keep your ACA plan,” but the following changes will be made to allow affordable alternatives to arise: all federal insurance mandates are repealed, so you can buy an affordable catastrophes-only plan; the ban on physician-owned hospitals is repealed; payments are site-neutral; all medical payments including individually owned insurance (not just employer-owned insurance) are payable with pre-tax dollars; and other freedom-expanding measures are actively explored. https://aapsonline.org/health-watch-what-to-do-about-aca-subsidies/Sasha Latypova, TrumpRx + BlinkRx: self dealing by Trump family x2! https://sashalatypova.substack.com/p/trumprx-drug-deal-self-dealing-by

After a whistleblower alerted The Defender, an OSHA spokesperson confirmed an internal directive telling healthcare employers not to report or track COVID-19 vaccine injuries.

How a village club’s talk on Siberian forests and water reflects—like a drop of water—the complexity of human (mis)understandings of their predicament
After the talk, a discussion followed. Some people shared examples of how “everything dried out” after logging and how “everything burned.” Andrei explained how disrupting the natural tree canopy reduces transpiration, leading to warming and drying. Surprisingly, not a single person challenged him. They knew it was true, yet it was hard knowledge to explicitly handle.
Then came the difficult question: “What can be done?” At one point, the listener who had been disruptive before exclaimed, almost like a child, “Evenkia is such a small place! Can’t it be saved? Just it?”
And indeed, I thought: who would truly suffer if we simply saved this pearl of the Earth’s cleanest waters? What if these trees were left standing? Some families might not be able to renovate their wooden furniture—but perhaps what they already have could serve a little longer, just for the sake of preserving Evenkia. Chinese factories might lose a source of packaging paper. Maybe that is not so tragic.

However, no photographic evidence or video documentation of the immunizations has been provided, prompting questions as to whether this was a symbolic gesture of compliance rather than a verified medical act.If indeed administered, this would mean the President just received a deadly, cardiotoxic, neurotoxic, genotoxic, and carcinogenic gene-transfer injection.

ParticipantGAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — Tens of thousands of displaced Palestinians made their way back to their Gaza neighborhoods on Saturday, weaving through dust-shrouded streets as bulldozers clawed through the wreckage of two years of war and a ceasefire held in its second day.
Aid groups urged Israel to reopen more crossings to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza, and about 200 U.S. troops arrived in Israel to help retrieve hostages and monitor the ceasefire with Hamas.
Aid is just one issue for Palestinians returning to their destroyed homes.
“When people get there, they’re going to find rubble. They’ll find that their homes and their neighborhoods have been reduced to dust,” UNICEF spokesperson Tess Ingram told The Associated Press on Friday from central Gaza.
The World Food Program said Saturday it was ready to restore 145 food distribution points across the famine-stricken Gaza Strip, once Israel allows for expanded deliveries. Before Israel sealed off Gaza in March, U.N. agencies provided food at 400 distribution points.
COGAT, the Israeli military body in charge of humanitarian aid, said that more than 500 trucks had entered Gaza on Friday, although many crossings remain closed.
The aid is among the 170,000 metric tons of food aid that have been positioned in neighboring countries awaiting permission from Israel to restart deliveries.
The fighting has killed tens of thousands of Palestinians, flattened entire neighborhoods and displaced around 90% of Gaza’s more than 2 million people, some multiple times.
The scale of destruction will become clearer if the truce holds in the weeks ahead, but more than three out of every four buildings have been destroyed, the U.N. said in September — a volume of debris equivalent to 25 Eiffel Towers, much of it likely toxic.
A February assessment by the European Union and World Bank estimated $49 billion in damage, including $16 billion to housing and $6.3 billion to the health sector.
The death toll is expected to rise as more bodies that couldn’t be retrieved during Israel’s offensive are found.
A manager at northern Gaza’s Shifa Hospital told the AP that 45 bodies pulled from the rubble in Gaza City had arrived over the past 24 hours. The manager, speaking on condition of anonymity for safety reasons, said the bodies had been missing for several days to two weeks.
New security arrangements on the ground
U.S. President Donald Trump’s initial 20-point plan calls for Israel to maintain an open-ended military presence inside Gaza, along its border with Israel. An international force, comprised largely of troops from Arab and Muslim countries, would be responsible for security inside Gaza, though the timeline is unclear.
The Israeli military has said it will continue to operate defensively from the roughly 50% of Gaza it still controls after pulling back to agreed-upon lines.
U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff told Israeli officials on Friday that the United States would establish a center in Israel to coordinate issues concerning Gaza until there is a permanent government, according to a readout of the meeting by a person who attended it and obtained by the AP. Another official who was not authorized to speak to the media confirmed the contents of the readout.
The readout said no U.S. soldiers will be on the ground in Gaza, but there will be people who report to the U.S. and aircraft might operate over the strip for monitoring.
The war began when Hamas-led militants stormed into Israel in the 2023 attack, killing some 1,200 people and taking 251 hostage.
In Israel’s ensuing offensive, more than 67,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza and nearly 170,000 wounded, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry, which doesn’t differentiate between civilians and combatants but says around half the deaths were women and children.

U.S.-China Trade War Reaches New LevelWhat Trump does not get yet is that the U.S. depends more on imports from China than China depends on exporting to the United States.
But the markets do understand that.

ParticipantTrump “appears” to go all-on on the $70 billion Pfizer deal, that Bourla looked stressed & nervous about at the presser with Trump, while Trump looked like he was on a little Xanax, washed down with a single shot of Irish whiskey.
Now, Trump takes the dread COVID “booster” and Flu shots, undisclosed brands. https://www.thefocalpoints.com/p/breaking-president-donald-trump-receivesI am perplexed because myTrump Telepathy did not foresee this.
Also, more importantly, it is hard to interpret. Yes, he is showing-support for Big Pharma, including Pfizer, which means his deals are as-good-as-his-word, and so on, BUT is it worse if he got fake shots to fool us, making him at least 57.1 % evil, or if he went ahead and got the real bug-juice, meaning that he is already going senile or has a near-term terminal illness, so why-not?October 11, 2025 at 3:56 pm #197292John Day

How ruthless can China’s first laser warship be in service, and the 071 equipped with the Liaoyuan-1 laser weapon can be?https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/c5RmFYyeK6Op-gkmmDDkXQ
“Liaoyuan-1”: Blade of Light, energy weapon implementation
The Liaoyuan-1 laser has a turret structure that looks like a close-in gun, but the barrel is replaced with a row of firing holes. The large hole in the middle is the laser emission guide, and the small hole in the periphery is the infrared, photodetector and rangefinder.The shipborne version also has a telescopic protective cover, which is anti-salt spray, sea breeze and corrosion-proof.

Participant“Hungary is obstructing accession because Prime Minister Viktor Orban is using criticism of the EU and Ukraine to boost his electoral prospects.” That’s not the own you think it is. It means “Ukraine is unpopular and everybody hates you.” Saying this shows you know this is true, but like a psychopath neither admit nor care.
Next thing is, this is “Populism”. Oh you mean Democracy? Where the people vote for what they want, ie what is “Popular”? Yeah, can’t have that. Ask UK, France, Germany. How many more dead candidates there?
“The U.S. if fighting Russia directly in Ukraine, yet Putin is kissing his -ss”
Yes, and since Putin is a lot smarter than you, and knows 1,000 times more, don’t you want to ask yourself Why?
“Everyone is dumb but me tho”. “I have no access to information at all, everything I read is a lie, but I totally know what’s going on.”
How about Putin is NOT dumb, and DOES know what’s going on and why, and STILL he acts this way. WHY would he do that, what does that mean on the ground? Our best guess is what we’ve been saying, in reality the enemy is EUROPE, and the U.S. — rebellion within – has de facto allied with Russia again, just like WWII, against the common enemy. The Nazis. And has for years going way back. Putin is now moderately comfortable admitting this to the 80% levels. But not you, who are the 50% levels. He knows that certain people, below the Secret Service, hearing that statement are going to put together this. But they’ll tell the normies who won’t believe them and say “Trump and Putin are stoopid tho” while being run all over the chessboard like infants, confused by everything and blaming the Joooooos.
If they’re running everything like you’ve said for 20 years, WHY ARE THEY LOSING? I think Krainer asked this only yesterday. Wolfowitz Document said they would run the world, have oil, have China, have the chip, totalitarian state decades ago. DECADES. And the U.S./WEF/West DID actually run everything then. They DID have the power. The U.S. army under W Bush was still enormous. He trashed it in the sand.
So there are zero good guys and…the Sta-Puffed Marshmallow Man has fought them to a standstill and now losing over those 30 years? Not only are they losing their digital chip, it’s being rejected in the U.S. altogether. It’s possible it will lead to open rebellion (for many other reasons) even in England, the home of these villains. They can’t even hold their own country.
So all THREE of the world’s largest nations are out of their power right now. CAR. The PACIFIC nations. They’re running a race revolution in America they set up and funded for 80 years and it’s going off like a soaking squib. 4 or 14 years later and Europe only is about to open their FIRST arms factory.
But there are no Good Guys and Putin is stupid tho. Chad from Buzzfeed said so.
Next thing you say is “I’m going to fight this war, win this chess game without losing a single piece tho.” No. You are not. Half the pieces will be missing at the end, that’s what “Chess” is. There is not any war where you fight it and no one dies. That’s not what “War” is. That’s just “Giving orders”. Pre-war, Inter-war times.
About had it with “I demand a purity spiral for my purity ring so tight that I can’t pick up a rifle and no one in Baker Company gets shot.”
More I missed from yesterday:
“he added the crucial caveat that he first wants to know what the Ukrainians plan to do with the Tomahawks. “Where they are sending them, I guess I will have to ask that question.”
Not a genius, but shoot them at Russia? They are long-range missiles, so guessing, shoot them a long way?
“Trump Says Oct 7 “Was Terrible” But From “…the Hamas Standpoint,”
…They were completely out after Abraham Accords, but now have essentially own the country. You don’t sue for peace if you have no standing. After the peace, it’s not like the agreement has them all deported to Alaska. They are there, they are the government and ARAB world is talking about it. Forget us, THEY are the ones who DGAF about Gaza. So Hamas just “DID WHAT IT TOOK” Kaiser Soze-style, to BOTH win a nation AND destroy Israel, which is collapsing. ISRAEL is suing for peace. And that took 1M Gazans? To them, they were ALREADY in a concentration camp. They were ALREADY dying. So the old “And we burned in the camps later”, or all the Joos sitting in Auschwitz, but resisted nothing, before, during, or after, when they could have at least died killing the enemy. Nope. And they’re supposed to be applauded for being suckers. And “smarter” than everybody else? Nope.
Gaza took a different path. “We’re going to die anyway, may as well be for something.” “We have nothing but our lives left, so we’ll give them.”
Yeah, it doesn’t LOOK like that, but look deeper. Israel is suing for peace because they’re winning? Nope. That never happens. And Gaza is still there? Yup. So it “Was Terrible”, as Christ said of this time 2,000 years ago.
“Venezuela’s Maduro says US embassy ‘false flag’ bombing foiled in Caracas
President Nicolas Maduro says Venezuelan forces foil ‘extremist’ plot to plant explosives in US Embassy aimed at escalating tensions with Trump administration”Raise your hand if you believe this. All of us? Yes? Of course they would.
“Gail Tverberg on implications of declining fuels and rising prices: What has gone wrong with the economy? Can it be fixed?”
More experts being dead wrong, and they all hate low prices. Didn’t she say with the rest of us that everything had to collapse in 2001? Because there are no Good Guys? Yet here we are, barely worn out. More oil than ever, with consumption still rising fast every year. Prices lower, comparatively, and no one’s even TRYING to use it more responsibly. Most travel is still BS, ie we haven’t moved to Kunstler’s Main Street, 5 miles from home. Difference is, I had to adjust my model because for being wrong. And it hurt.
You’re talking the other day about “Real Americans” untouched by the white evil.
They forget all these things, but there were no Seminole, they were created out of other tribes fleeing to Florida.
There were no Sioux, because there were no horses. No horses = no buffalo, no plains culture. So they were brand new, made out of the wildest bad boys of the Mandan iirc. (Wisconsin). That’s 1550.Then when “We arrive” we say “Look these guys have “always been here”, Who are “We” to change their way of life?” You already did, you fools. But that was “for the better”, so we aren’t allowed to discuss that. Many such cases.
Same with the Iroquois who exterminated 15 tribes around them, depopulated all Ohio, and were mega-slavers? When they say “This land was empty” that’s why. It literally was since the Mohawks dropped the population to something like 30k in the whole state. That’s the size of one town. These are the “nice” people, unlike those naughty whites. Who brought, like books, eyeglasses, and ended slavery. Only them, btw. I can’t remember that last continent/culture/nation that ended it. Europe MADE them. That’s why Jefferson was sinking boats.
So those “Nice people” the Sioux? The Mohawk, the Aztec? …Otherwise known as “people”. All these stories are on where you start the clock. They start the clock from wherever the conclusion will be “Give me candy you guilty boy.”
“Caitlin Johnstone, Everything Before AND After October 7 Explains Why October 7 Happened
Look at what happened before October 7”Nope. We start the clock, the story on Oct 7. We start it Jan 2020. We start it 2016 or the day Kimmel was fired. Nothing in the world ever happened before. Works every time.
