— 🇮🇱/🇵🇸/🇱🇧 Fifth day of the war, October 11th, status update and major events:
– Israeli death toll surpasses 1200.
– The IDF is still engaged in clashes with Hamas around the Gaza strip, most notably in the settlements of Sufa, Zikkim and Ashkelon, where they sucessfully perform rotations, but the Hamas presence outside of Gaza is decreasing day by day.
– Relentless bombing campaign of Gaza continues, as the civilian death toll rises substantially.
– The flow of electricity to homes in Gaza has fully stopped, leading to a complete power outage, as the only working power plant has run out of fuel.
– Rocket barrages towards Ashkelon and Ben Gurion Airport, as well as the use of a long range missile launched towards Haifa.
– Hezbollah carried out an ATGM strike on a group of Israeli soldiers across the Lebanese border, killing at least two IDF soldiers.
– Major confusion and hysteria erupted amongst Israeli media after the Israeli early warning system erroneously issued hundreds of red alerts across northern Israel, giving the false impression of a Hezbollah attack and forcing approximately a million Israelis into bomb shelters.

The world’s fastest drone, the XLR V3, just went from 0 to 124 mph (200 km/h) in 1 second, faster than a Formula 1 car off the line.
Designed by Swiss engineers, the XLR V3 is a high performance FPV (First Person View) racing drone built with ultra light carbon fiber, high torque brushless motors, and cutting edge aerodynamics. It’s not just fast, it’s rewriting what’s possible in drone engineering.
This drone accelerates faster than:
✔️ An F1 car
✔️ A Tesla Plaid
✔️ Even a fighter jet on launch
Imagine what they're not showing us...
⚡️A Russian drone strike hit the car of Chief Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Wolf in Kherson, head of the United Jewish Community of Ukraine’s local chapter.
Yosef is well known for assisting SBU and Nationalists in tracking down pro Russian Ukrainians who supported Russian forces during the liberation and uses his synagogue, as a shield, to help assemble FPVs for Ukrainian forces.
1. Geopolitical & Military Tensions
Thailand–Cambodia conflict: Martial law has been declared, over 138,000 people have fled, and both sides have exchanged fire. Terrain challenges and border disputes intensify risks of prolonged conflict.
Middle East flashpoints: The Gaza conflict escalates as Israel prepares for a major offensive and new ceasefire efforts stall. Suwayda, Syria, sees Druze self-administration declared.
Russia–Ukraine talks: Zelensky confirms negotiations, but a Putin-Zelensky meeting is still seen as unlikely by the Kremlin.
ISIS strike: U.S. CENTCOM killed a senior ISIS leader and his sons in Syria.
2. Western Politics, Immigration, and Populism
UK Islamophobia sentiment: A new survey shows over 50% of Britons view Islam as incompatible with British values, potentially fueling anti-immigration politics.
Jeremy Corbyn’s new party: Gathers 200,000 members; promotes anti-austerity, pro-immigrant policies in contrast to rising nationalist sentiment.
Anti-migration protests: Spread ...
🇨🇦 Stefan Molyneux on X: Almost every government policy in the West is designed to prevent family formation for the native population.
📝 Roger Marques: "Could not agree more.
Housing is expensive.
Families taxed to the bone.
Prices are so high that both elements of the couple must work.
Women are incentivized to not care about having children in their prime.
Public schooling literally retards children.
The culture is profoundly anti-children.
What else?"
