feets have surrounded Florida and are expected to push inland.

Update: It goes without saying that people should leave Florida . But the state itself now supports it.

Will Gaza being completely destroyed and covered in debris which will take decades to clean up mean remaining Palestinians be forced out of there (by blocking construction materials) once this ethnic cleansing campaign ends?

Norm is pessimistic but I don't think he is completely wrong.

What is this I keep seeing about Russia wanting to put DPRK soldiers in Ukraine. Is there any truth to that, or is it just the West spreading Fake News because the DPRK is sending observers to the front?

so is whereever the irish post the IOF camped outside the deepest penetration of ground forces into lebanon so far?

Today marks 25th years since portuguese communist writer Jose Saramago won the Nobel prize in literature, don't know if they ever gave the award to anyone else as based as him but it's pretty cool. I've read a few of his books in audio form they're very interesting

Here's a quote from when he visited Palestine

During the Second Intifada, while visiting Ramallah in March 2002, Saramago said that "what is happening in Palestine is a crime we can put on the same plane as what happened at Auschwitz ... A sense of impunity characterizes the Israeli people and its army. They have turned into rentiers of the Holocaust." In an essay he wrote expanding on his views, Saramago wrote of Jews: "educated and trained in the idea that any suffering that has been inflicted . . . on everyone else . . . will always be inferior to that which they themselves suffered in the Holocaust, the Jews endlessly scratch their own wound to keep it bleeding, to make it incurable, and they show it to the world as if it were a banner."

BREAKING: Some top House Democrats won't commit to certifying a Trump unless the result was “a fair, free election”, per Axios

Representative Raskin told Axios in an interview that if Trump "won a free, fair and honest election, then we would obviously accept it." He was asked if he assumes a Trump victory would be free, fair and honest, however, Raskin said: "I definitely don't assume that.” Raskin added that: "Democrats don't engage in election fraud and election fabrication."

Hurricane Milton, currently pounding the north of the Yucatan peninsula, is expected to make landfall in Florida on Wednesday. It has intensified into a ~~Category 4 storm, and might even reach~~ Category 5 ~~before landfall.~~ Large portions of the coast of western Florida can expect storm surges over 12 feet (3.6 meters), in addition to 5-15 inches (13-38cm) of rainfall and winds reaching ~~130MPH+ (209km/h+)~~ 157+ MPH (252+ km/h).

What's this? I am receiving news that it is now a Category 5.

RAINFALL: Rainfall amounts of 5 to 10 inches, with localized totals up to 15 inches, are expected across portions of the Florida Peninsula and the Keys through Wednesday night. This rainfall brings the risk of considerable flash, urban, and areal flooding, along with the potential for moderate to major river flooding.

Milton will also produce rainfall totals of 2 to 4 inches with isolated totals around 6 inches across northern portions of the Yucatan Peninsula..

Interesting piece on Phenomenal World: Adaptation in the Sanctioned Economy: Domestic manufacturing, overcapacity, and the limits of Iran’s economic resilience , it shows how despite the belief that sanctions resilience is entirely a matter of state capacity and state policy Iran's private sector actually invested a TON to fill the space left by foreign manufactured products, like washing machines, to the point where they're even building too much of this stuff so the government can be faulted for not influencing these sectors to allocate capital appropriately.

Also interesting is how these big private firms believe that they can actually do well in the sanctions environment, so they lobby the government AGAINST lifting import bans even if economic sanctions are also lifted, so there's another point against the american sanctions regime as a useful behavior changing tool even by its own terms.

🔴 The enemy army is using UNIFIL troops as human shields for their attempted attempted into Lebanon

UNIFIL angrily tweets at the IOF:
https://xcancel.com/UNIFIL_/status/1845470755015762208

I'm watching the series "Big Love". A scene made me sigh because it's so much at lib efforts to downplay the genocide in Gaza and now the expanded war in Lebanon. Libs continue to demand people don't trust their own eyes and trust lib rhetoric and nonsense instead. The libs are stuck because with each passing day the evidence piles up but they are heavily invested in their pretense so they sound crazier and crazier.

Bill Paxton plays a polygamist with three wives who is also named Bill. He's an expert at hiding reality. People think he has only one wife. One of his employees confides something to him. She suspects his business partner and best friend to be a polygamist. This is a dangerous situation for Bill. The future of his friend's family, his family, and their business could be at stake.

She must be convinced that what she knows to be true is wrong. They are sitting in his office. Bill calls her accurate accusations "unsavory". Then stands up to show her the conversation is over and he shuts her down.

"But I know what I saw."

"What you saw was an action. But you didn't necessarily see the label you're putting on it."

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Exactly. There you are."

Oil companies are very angry at this bill now headed for a vote in the California assembly. There are anti-ABX2-1 advertisements all over, which seems unusual for something that isn't a proposition being put to voters, and the Chevron gas station nearest to me has big signs at every pump saying that California lawmakers are conspiring to raise prices at the pump - scan the QR code to fight back! (Or, you know, drivers could go to the gas station one block away, the one that isn't Chevron and is always at least 30 cents cheaper per gallon.)

What does the bill do? Apparently it requires oil refineries to keep a minimum inventory level and wants the Independent Consumer Fuels Advisory Committee to include one member who "represent[s] a labor organization with experience in refinery operations."

The pressure campaign appears to be working, at least somewhat, as multiple Democratic assemblyschmucks have withdrawn support and several abstained in the State Senate committee vote that passed today. Since it's "Newom's bill" he might not veto it. Or will he? Certainly sounds like something he'd do. Stay tuned?

I did a post about ukraine's 2023 counteroffensive that may be of interest to the newsheads here

The enemies' psychological warfare fronts are pushing lies and that is coming at cost of giving themselves away.

MiddleEastEye, a news agency which some might have mistakenly saw as pro-Resistance because of its pro-Palestine publishings have just published an exclusive article claiming this:

Esmail Qaani, the leader of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard’s elite Quds Force, is alive and unhurt but under guard and being questioned as Iran investigates major security breaches, multiple sources have told Middle East Eye.

Qaani has not been seen in public since Israel killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in a massive air strike on Beirut on 27 September, an event that rocked the anti-Israel Axis of Resistance alliance.

Ten sources in Tehran, Beirut and Baghdad, including senior Shia figures and sources close to Hezbollah and in the IRGC, told MEE that even Qaani, one of Iran’s most senior generals, and his team are under lockdown as investigators seek answers.

Qaani had came to Hezbullah's office in Tehran among many others after Nasrallah's martyrdom and also recently he had a short interview over phone call on the national TV.

But the bullshit doesn't stop there and Sky News Arabia adds to it by saying he had an heart attack under the interrogation.

And of course, the Zionist news agencies like JPost and Iran International quickly published articles citing MiddleEastEye.

So, who funds this news agency anyway? I don't know, but BBC says they are funded by Qatar.

DPRK accuses ROK of sending drones into Pyongyang:
https://news.cgtn.com/news/2024-10-11/news-1xCgeJoOfwQ/p.html

The Foreign Ministry of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) said the Republic of Korea (ROK) sent drones that flew into the capital Pyongyang in what it called a "political and military provocation," a statement carried by state media KCNA said on Friday.

This graph shows annual expenditure by the american federal government on debt interest service and how it's more than doubled since 2020. 2020 saw a good amount of additional debt for covid relief, but much more important, the interest rate has spiked since then. all this money goes somewhere, to bond holders, which tend to be the same capitalist interests that own the vast majority of shit. recall that in 2008, under obama, TARP funding was a "one time" dump of $700b. in effect, the increase in interest servicing since 2020 is an annual TARP sized amount of funding that is now baked into the system because of higher interest rates. @xiaohongshu@hexbear.net has posted about this kind of thing before I believe
