Huge news for Latin America, and the world: Lula da Silva has won reelection in Brazil, despite blatant electoral meddling by the US. Brazil is the biggest country in Latin America, a major geopolitical power, and a founding member of BRICS. The US empire wanted to put back in power the corrupt, far-right Bolsonaro dynasty, which is extremely pro-US and pro-Israel. The Bolsonaros vowed to minimize Brazil's role in BRICS, serve the interests of Brazilian oligarchs and big landlords at the expense of the working class, uphold the global US dollar system, and let US corporations plunder Brazil's natural resources -- especially its rare earths and critical minerals, which the US wants to reduce its reliance on China. In contrast, Lula comes from a poor family and has always put the interests of the working class first. He has a non-aligned foreign policy, 100% supports Palestine, strongly believes in the importance of Global South integration and cooperation, and was a co-founder of BRICS. Lula will deepen Brazil's partnership with China and the rest of the Global South. He will also continue to push for the transformation of the international financial system and will challenge the global dominance of the US dollar, which infuriates Washington.

Democrats should realize that what Meta did in Brazil, they and other social media companies will do in the US in 2028 unless they are made to understand they will face criminal penalties for it

SpaceX Blocked A U.S. And NATO Satellite to Assist a Russian Intercept After Crippling Ukraine's Air Defenses The Math Proves the Reality that Musk doesn't want you to see. On Oct 13-14, SpaceX restricted Starshield/Starlink during a 39-missile Russian attack, cutting Ukrainian drone intercepts by 23% and stranding U.S. personnel in Kyiv. Forty-eight hours later (Oct 15), SpaceX blocked U.S.-licensed NRO, Space Force, and NATO radar satellite ICEYE-X36 in orbit so Russia's COSMOS 2612 weapon could intercept it (99.89%-99.98% posterior) Our Model Demonstrates that the Russian intercept of the US/NATO ICEYE X-36 satellite (contemporaneous with the throttling of Starlink) would not have been possible, and almost certainly not been attempted, without SpaceX resources. At a material opportunity cost, Russia sprinted its COSMOS satellite to intercept ICEYE X36. Based on a previous attempt in June during which X36 maneuvered to evade COSMOS, Russia knew that this would be successful only if X36 could not maneuver. On October 15, SpaceX fixed X36 in place by issuing a collision alert for a sub-kilometer approach with its Starlink 35856 when SpaceX's own data shows that the actual distance was 4.8-5.0x as great. SpaceX issued no warning to COSMOS despite the fact that its sprint was far more threatening than the stable X36 orbit. SpaceX did not maneuver its Starlink 35856 satellite to clear the supposed collision risk. How, absent coordination with SpaceX, could Russia have known that SpaceX would take actions that (a) misrepresented the danger posed by X36, and (b) resulted in the fixing of X36 thereby enabling COSMOS's successful intercept? Thus, SpaceX was directly involved in simultaneously compromising Ukraine’s defensive and offensive capabilities. The conjunction of these two events makes innocent explanations untenable. The Pentagon Capture & Iran Round Two Trap: Pentagon CTO Emil Michael who cashed out $7M–$35M from Musk’s inner-circle SpaceX vehicles (M8/Gigafund 0.1 and M6/Valor M33 II) and KQ Partners / xAI (selling xAIfor $5M–$25M three days before taking over CDAO/OSCand 21 days before SpaceX bought xAI, while keeping M8, M6, M9, M10 & Nomadic open) and Pete Hegseth purged rival Anthropic in two hours, surrendered combat command over US drones used to attack Iran to Starlink’s "Terms of Service," and on October 2 named Musk Co-Director of Project Meridian to design the Pentagon's "Future of Warfighting" just as America enters Iran Round Twowith depleted Patriot/THAAD magazines and Russia feeding U.S. warship/aircraft locations to Tehran. SpaceX’s actions in Ukraine raise serious questions about its alignment with US security interests and its reliability as a cornerstone of US defense. These questions are particularly troubling given the effectively irreplaceable position SpaceX has been granted by the Hegseth/Emil Michael Pentagon. $SPCX $TSLA Our full quantitative analysis below w/ @streetwiseprof

One of Lula’s most important and least well-known achievements is US capacity to sanction it into compliance is limited, because unlike Europe, Brazilians don’t need Visa or Mastercard to make payments.

This is what happens when you confront a malignant narcissist with their own bad behavior: rage, projection, and grandiose delusions. Both the President and the richest man are the closest thing to biblical evil the human race can create.
After getting dozens of Ukrainians killed by throttling Starlink, and condemning millions to death in Africa, the richest man complains that the government “has a monopoly on violence.” A messianic narcissist with a trillion dollars is an existential threat to humanity.

It is tragic that so many people still think Elon Musk is some altruistic super genius who is trying to benefit humanity instead of the mass murdering, racist-ass, criminal, dumb as shit, drugged up, traitorous Nazi fuck that he actually is.

I can’t believe Abdul El-Sayed would accept a $400 million jet from the largest financial backer of the Muslim Brotherhood. Oh, wait. That was Donald Trump.

This is a confession to treason. Elon Musk, a private individual and not an elected official, hijacked U.S. national defence policy to harm partner Ukraine and help enemy Russia. cbc.ca/news/world/ukraine-st…

Elon Musk really believes that his internal model of the world is reality and anything that contradicts it is a conspiracy against him. This is the result of a malignant narcissist engineering the world around himself to reinforce his paranoid delusions. He is acutely psychotic.
In his 1960 pamphlet entitled “THE INTERNATIONAL CONSPIRACY TO ESTABLISH A WORLD DICTATORSHIP AND THE MENACE TO SOUTH AFRICA,” Joshua Haldeman displayed the precise psychosis displayed by his grandson Elon Musk—who is now purchasing parts of the David Ellison empire. He’s nuts.

Elon Musk has attempted to close the issue with Starlink in Ukraine. But here is a tale in 7 tweets that suggests it’s far from closed. The throttling back of speed limits on Starlink terminals occurred around 14 October so let’s go back to then in his timeline. 🧵1/10

I am amazed by how gullibly people listen to all sorts of tech executives with EXTREMELY bad incentives when it comes to being objective observers of anything AI-related. Don’t listen to a WORD of what they say. Elon and Jack included.

Racist POS
News to Remember
@allchronologyOct 24
Just a reminder that this man is solely responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths worldwide, including children and babies. All because he's a racist from apartheid South Africa who hates poor people, Black people, and Brown people.

The Epstein scandal just got a whole lot uglier. Newly released emails show Trump's White House helped edit the DOJ/FBI memo declaring there was no basis for further investigations. The suggested edits? Redacted. Think about that. The president's own staff had a hand in drafting the official explanation for why investigators should stop digging into a scandal involving his longtime former friend. What exactly did the White House want changed? Release the fucking edits.

We have cancelled our X subscription for the following main reasons: First and foremost, we cannot contribute to an organization that apparently places the interests of an adversary above those of the United States. Second, despite assurances that a paid subscription would extend reach, it appears we've experienced systematic deboosting over the past few months in favor of the platform's political preferences, conduct that violates its own terms of service.

I don't know much about Toronto politics, admittedly, but if the jackass CEO of Shopify is endorsing someone (and he is), vote for the other candidate.
