We know what’s coming and we are prepared.
— 🇮🇱/🇵🇸/🇱🇧/🇸🇾/🇮🇶 30th day of the war, November 5th, status update and major events:
– Extremely heavy airstrikes on Gaza, journalists called them 'unprecedented' and possibly the worst since October 7th.
– The Royal Jordanian Air Force dropped medical aid packages to the Jordanian field hospital in Gaza.
– The death toll in Gaza has officially surpassed 10.000.
– Notably, Hamas carried out two large scale rocket barrages on Tel Aviv and other cities in central Israel, showing that they still have the capability to carry out attacks.
– Two Iron Dome missiles misfired and struck Israeli streets in Tel Aviv.
— Ground situation in Gaza:
– To the north of Beit Hanoun, the IDF retreated towards the border fence. To the north-east of Beit Lahia, Israel holds most of the surrounding farmlands on the outskirts of the city, and has begun entering the urban area, where heavy clashes are taking place.
– After entering from the As-Siafa area in the north-west of the Gaza strip, the IDF has advanced along the coastline until the Al-Shati camp. The strip they control is about 1km wide from the shore measured inland, and about 7.5km deep from As-Siafa to Al-Shati camp.
– After entering the middle of Gaza from the east through Juhor Al-Dik, the IDF advanced in the north of Wadi Gaza past Al-Mughraqa, reaching Al-Rashid street on the coastline and establishing control over it, effectively cutting off the last road connecting the north to the south. Clashes are currently ongoing in the southern outskirts of Gaza City, mostly in the neighbourhood of Wahsh as well as areas near Salah Al-Deen road.
— Outside of Gaza:
– Hezbollah targeted several settlements across the Lebanese border with ATGMs, confirming casualties. As a response to the killing of 4 Lebanese civilians, they shelled the Israeli town of Kiryat Shmona with 122mm 'Grad' (Katyusha) rockets, causing direct impacts. The Iron Dome failed to intercept most of these rockets. Hezbollah reportedly also downed an Israeli UAV, although this has not been confirmed. Additionally, Hezbollah announced 3 more martyrs, making a total of 61.
– Israel carried our airstrikes and artillery shelling of South Lebanon as a response to these attacks.
– U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited Baghdad to meet with Iraqi PM Mohammad Shia Al-Sudani. He left for Ankara after a few hours.
– The Islamic Resistance in Iraq targeted the U.S. base in Tal Baidar, in Syria's Hasakah province, with two suicide drones, as well as the U.S. base in Erbil Intl. Airport.

IN 2006, RESEARCHER CLEVE BACKSTER — THE MAN WHO INVENTED THE CIA'S LIE DETECTOR PROTOCOLS — PUBLISHED 36 YEARS OF EXPERIMENTS PROVING THAT PLANTS, BACTERIA, AND HUMAN CELLS IN PETRI DISHES RESPOND INSTANTANEOUSLY TO HUMAN THOUGHT AND EMOTION — EVEN AT DISTANCES OF HUNDREDS OF MILES. THE SIGNAL IS FASTER THAN LIGHT. IT DOES NOT DIMINISH WITH DISTANCE. IT IS NOT ELECTROMAGNETIC.
In 1966, Cleve Backster was the world's foremost expert on polygraph technology. He had developed the interrogation techniques used by the CIA, FBI, and U.S. military. He understood galvanic skin response — the electrical conductance of biological tissue — better than anyone alive.
One morning, on a whim, he attached polygraph electrodes to a Dracaena plant in his office. He watered it and watched the tracing. Then he thought: "I wonder what would happen if I threatened this plant." He decided to burn a leaf with a match.
The instant he formed the intention — before he moved, before he lit the match, before any ...
