Israel targets Gaza’s ‘safe zones’ as Egypt to host negotiations
from al Jazeera
- Negotiators converge on Egypt ahead of talks aimed at ending nearly two years of war on Gaza.
- As Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu express hope the captives held in Gaza would be released in days, its army continues bombing Gaza, with the attacks having killed at least 70 Palestinians in the past 24 hours.
- The Israeli army says it had intercepted a missile fired from Yemen, from where the Houthis frequently launch attacks they describe as a response to the Israeli offensive in Gaza.
- Huge numbers turned out at pro-Palestinian rallies in Europe on Saturday, calling for an immediate end to the war in Gaza and the release of activists on board a flotilla carrying humanitarian aid to the territory.
- Israel’s war on Gaza has killed at least 67,139 people and wounded 169,583 since October 2023. Thousands more are believed to be buried under the rubble. A total of 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the October 7, 2023, attacks and about 200 were taken captive.

How Hamas stumped Trump, outwitted Netanyahu with its Gaza 'plan' response
from PressTV
In a move that surprised many astute political pundits, the Gaza-based resistance movement Hamas released a very strategic and diplomatic response on Friday to US President Donald Trump’s 20-point “Gaza plan.”
The group agreed, in principle, to release all remaining Israeli captives and to transfer administrative authority to a transitional body as part of a framework to end the year-long genocidal war on Gaza.
However, Hamas underscored that any decision concerning Gaza’s future governance must be rooted in national consensus and determined by the Palestinian people themselves, not by external actors.
Political analysts described Hamas’s response as a diplomatic masterstroke that caught Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu off guard and exposed his plans to again derail the process.
Trump welcomed the response, going so far as to publish Hamas’s full statement on social media, noting the group is “ready for lasting peace” and calling on Israel to “immediately stop the bombing of Gaza.”...

Project 2025 is Trump's government shutdown playbook. It always was
Project 2025 Tracker (currently at 48% completion)
from USA Today
President Donald Trump’s gleeful embrace of the government shutdown that he caused is wreaking havoc with the cover story his Republican allies in Congress are spreading in their desperation to blame Democrats.
Trump is also openly embracing Project 2025, the controversial MAGA blueprint for his second term that he attempted, unconvincingly, to distance himself from while running for reelection.
Trump wants to weaponize the shutdown to fire more federal workers, a key goal of Project 2025, and an echo of his early administration efforts to have the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) dismiss thousands of employees.
But the shutdown is unpopular, with more Americans blaming Trump and Republicans than Democrats. And Project 2025 has been widely perceived as negative. And DOGE is disliked by a majority of Americans.
So Trump is playing with a trifecta of political pitfalls. And still he talks like he has a winning hand.
"I can't believe the Radical Left Democrats gave me this unprecedented opportunity," Trump posted on social media on Oct. 2, praising Project 2025 and citing his desire to make more cuts at federal agencies...

Thousands protest in Italy, Greece, elsewhere against Israeli attack on Gaza flotilla amid condemnations
from PressTV
Tens of thousands of protesters have staged massive demonstrations across many countries following Israel’s attack on the Global Sumud Flotilla and abduction of hundreds of activists aboard the humanitarian convoy bound for the besieged Gaza Strip.
The rallies were held on Friday in support of Palestine and in condemnation of Israel’s aggressive raids on the Gaza-bound flotilla in international waters.
Massive rallies were held in Rome and several European, Asian and Latin American capitals.
Thousands of protesters marched again on Friday in Rome to the vast plaza outside the central train station of Termini, where services were cancelled or delayed up to 80 minutes, and in other cities.
Up and down the country, thousands of people gathered for marches and flashmobs, from Turin and Trento in the north to Bari and Palermo in the south.
A sea of people clapped and waved the Palestinian flag in Milan as they made their way through the streets, carrying a massive banner reading: "Free Palestine, Stop the War Machine."
Among the crowd in Rome was Giordano Fioramonti, 19, protesting along with fellow university students and professors...

Sunstein Agents Walk Among Us: Disinfo Assets All Over Charlie Kirk Shooting Investigation
by Scott Creighton
Jason Goodman of Crowdsource the Truth has weighed in on the Charlie Kirk shooting unofficial investigation and it shouldn't be considered shocking that he is siding with Range DayBro in trying to convince people that Charlie was shot from behind which makes the wound to Charlie's neck and exit rather than an entrance wound.
Crowdsource the Truth (CtT) is a gimmick. It was a scheme used by the likes of both George Webb and Robert David Steele, both of which worked with Jason at one time or another and both ended up suing and being sued by Goodman.
It was this gaggle of geniuses who shut down a port in Charleston SC. with fake claims of a 'dirty bomb' being brought it by the dreaded Islamists back in 2017.
'Crowdsourcing the Truth' means they open up a direct input line from the viewers online who can then present them with whatever bullshit 'evidence' they have of whatever psyop is running at the time.
The problem is, CtT doesn't fact check the bullshit, they just run with it, let come what may. They call this 'open source' investigating.
That makes it a perfect vehicle for disinformation to be installed into unofficial investigations, to confuse, distract and derail... like what Jason is doing right now.
UN official warns of looming ‘large-scale massacre’ by Israel in Gaza City
from PressTV
The head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA), Philippe Lazzarini, has warned that the Israeli regime appears to be planning a “large-scale massacre” in Gaza City amid a strict siege and extensive military attacks.
Lazzarini issued the warning after Israel threatened all residents of Gaza City, saying that Palestinians remaining there would be considered “terrorists” or “terrorist supporters.”
The UN official said such statements raise fears of mass killings. “[This] is a statement suggesting planned large-scale massacres: killing more women, children, elderly and vulnerable people unable to move out.”
He stressed that no authority has “the license to kill civilians” and cautioned that continued inaction would amount to complicity in what UN investigators have already called genocide.
The remarks come as Gaza faces relentless bombardment and siege...

Protests rage in Italy on Day 2 over Israel's storming of Sumud Flotilla, nationwide strike looms
from TRT
Thousands took to the streets across Italy in support of the Gaza-bound aid flotilla, a day before a planned nationwide strike, as the government repeated its criticism of the attempt to break Israel's blockade in Gaza.
In Rome, police said around 10,000 people marched from the Colosseum through the city centre, chanting against Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s support for Israel.
Demonstrations also spread to Milan, Torino, Florence, and Bologna.
"The flotilla has somehow reopened attention on this issue, revealing consciences that have perhaps been too dormant after two years of war and massacres," said Lorenzo Giardinetti, a Rome city council member who joined the march.
"Today it is the Colosseum, tomorrow it is the general strike... It is a matter of putting our bodies on the line, as the flotilla activists did."
In Milan, an estimated 5,000 people rallied near the Duomo, blocking traffic during rush hour.
Protesters shouted: "We are ready to block everything. The genocide machine must stop now."
Trains were suspended in Florence and Bologna after demonstrators occupied railway lines, rail operator Trenitalia confirmed...

Last Boat in Sumud Flotilla Hijacked at Sea by Israeli Pirates - and a Mea Culpa
by Scott Creighton (H/T AuntBB)
The very last boat in the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF) has been hijacked by IDF pirates in international waters just before reaching Palestine's territory.
I knew about them yesterday but didn't want to mention the Marinette in hopes maybe with less attention, they might slip through the illegal blockaid unnoticed.
No such luck.
The goods and aid they are carrying will now be added to the bounty of loot being handed over to rabid, messianic Zionist settlers in the West Bank.
Over at the Global Sumud Flotilla tracker they had it listed as 'sailing' when I checked yesterday and they showed it's exact location.
To make things even easier for the IDF, GSF had a live feed of that exact tracker located on their own website. ಠ_à²

Sumud Flotilla Door-Dashed Aid to Settlers in West Bank: Try Something Different Next Time
Keep doing same thing over and over again expecting different results. How bout trying something different? Like... 1. no celebrities - instead use people willing to run the blockaid 2. no pleasure boats - instead rig old PT boats for one way trip with enough gas and horsepower to get there 3. no tracking website - why tell the IDF where you are? All respect in the world to the people on those flotilla boats. They tried. But in the end, this message goes out to the planners. Try something different folks. Gaza doesn't need more attention. They need aid.

Larry Ellison Vetted Marco Rubio for Fealty to Israel, Hacked Emails Reveal
by Ryan Grim and Murtaza Hussain from Drop Site News
Everything is coming together for Larry Ellison. The billionaire co-founder of tech giant Oracle, on-and-off-again the richest man in the world and a staunch supporter of Israel, is set to take a lead role in reshaping TikTok in the United States. His son, David Ellison, is moving to take over large swaths of the media, including CBS News, CNN, Warner Brothers, and Paramount, reportedly bringing in the Free Press’s Bari Weiss to shape editorial direction.
“The Ellison family is cornering the market on attention and data the same way the Vanderbilts did railroads and the Rockefellers did oil,” as Wired recently characterized it. How they plan to operate that monopoly is on course to be tested out in what President Donald Trump is calling “New Gaza,” the techno-dystopian free trade zone that is to be administered by a Board of Peace led by Trump and Ellison’s longtime political and business vehicle, Tony Blair. Ellison has given or pledged more than $350 million to the Tony Blair Institute, which Blair has used to advance Ellison’s vision of a marriage between government, corporate power, and tech surveillance. Oracle, by providing database infrastructure and cloud-computing services to other huge enterprises like FedEx and NVIDIA, has quietly become one of the most powerful companies in the world.
As the nation’s top diplomat, Secretary of State Marco Rubio has also played a role in the TikTok talks that steered the company toward Ellison, after playing a lead role as a senator in demonizing the app; he was also closely involved in the rollout of Trump’s plan for Gaza’s future, which hands the enclave to Blair. Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner tasked the Blair Institute in the spring with coming up with a post-war plan for Gaza, which was recently completed, the Times of Israel reported...

Trump uses government shutdown to dole out firings and political punishment
from the AP
President Donald Trump has seized on the government shutdown as an opportunity to reshape the federal workforce and punish detractors, by threatening mass firings of workers and suggesting “irreversible” cuts to programs important to Democrats.
Rather than simply furlough employees, as is usually done during any lapse of funds, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said layoffs were “imminent.” The Office of Management and Budget announced it was putting on hold roughly $18 billion of infrastructure funds for New York’s subway extension and Hudson Tunnel projects — in the hometown of the Democratic leaders of the U.S. House and Senate.
Trump has marveled over the handiwork of his budget director.
“He can trim the budget to a level that you couldn’t do any other way,” the Republican president said at the start of the week of OMB Director Russ Vought, who was also a chief architect of the Project 2025 conservative policy book.
“So they’re taking a risk by having a shutdown,” Trump said during an event at the White House...

40+ Gaza-bound Sumud Flotilla ships hijacked, forced to Isdud
from al Mayadeen English
The Israeli Navy has seized over 40 boats from the Global Sumud Flotilla, preventing life-saving humanitarian aid from Palestinians in Gaza, as "Israel" sustains its illegal siege and engineered famine in the Strip.
The International Committee to Break the Siege on Gaza announced that the Omar Al-Mukhtar, a ship from the Global Sumud Flotilla, lost all communication after Israeli naval vessels hijacked it off the coast of the Gaza Strip, with the disruption in contact being caused by signal jamming from Israeli forces.
Meanwhile, navigational data showed that the Mikeno vessel had in fact entered the territorial waters of the Gaza Strip, bringing it to within approximately 9 nautical miles of the coast...

Israeli Forces Spark Global Outrage by Intercepting Sumud Flotilla Off Gaza Coast

Israel intercepted multiple boats from the Global Sumud Flotilla seeking to bring humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip late Wednesday, generating outrage and displays of solidarity from across the globe.
“History will side with the flotilla,” said former UK Labour Party Leader Jeremy Corbyn, who remains in Parliament. “And their bravery will only inspire more people to join our global movement for Palestine.”
Turkey’s foreign ministry described the interception as a “terrorist act... which targeted civilians acting peacefully,” while Colombian President Gustavo Petro booted the entire Israeli diplomatic delegation from his country immediately following the news.
In Barcelona, hundreds of outraged protesters gathered outside the Israeli consulate. Similar scenes broke out in other cities around the world, including Istanbul and Brussels...

Colombia’s Petro expels Israeli diplomats over Gaza flotilla raid
from Daily Sabah
Colombian President Gustavo Petro ordered the expulsion of all Israeli diplomats from Colombia on Wednesday after Israeli forces detained two Colombian nationals aboard a flotilla attempting to break the Israeli blockade and deliver aid to the Gaza Strip.
Manuela Bedoya and Luna Barreto were part of the Global Sumud Flotilla's crew, an international effort that is trying to break a blockade and deliver aid to Gaza.
According to a statement from the Global Movement to Gaza, the Israeli military detained the women after the flotilla reached a high-risk area 150 nautical miles (172 miles) off the coast.
"After reaching 150 nautical miles... the maritime positioning of Israeli ships begins at 23:59 UTC (6.59 pm Colombia time)," said the statement, asserting that other flotillas have been "attacked or intercepted." It described it as "a violation of international law and the Geneva Accords."
Petro warned on the U.S. social media company, X, that if the reports were true, it would constitute "a new international crime by Benjamin Netanyahu." He said that "the Free Trade Agreement with Israel is immediately denounced."...

Global Sumud Flotilla has been Hijacked by Israeli Pirates as TrumpyBear Cheers
by Scott Creighton
UPDATE: the Mikeno is an aid ship so maybe some good will come of this for the people of Gaza
Well that's it. For all it's promise and all the efforts from those on board and those left behind, for all the donations of food, supplies, aid and time... all of those resources are now the property of the Glorious IDF and will undoubtedly be taken straight to the West Bank and given to the rabid Zionist settler criminal scum.
Why?
Because the steering committee had all the boats wait off the coast of Crete for 3 1/2 days until the Friendship Seas exercise was over before making way through that area on to Gaza.
They are all reported as either 'intercepted' or as 'presumed intercepted' today on the Global Sumud Flotilla tracker website.
The GSF website claims a bunch of the boats got thru and I certainly hope that is the case, but unless they tossed their GPS tracking hardware overboard, those listed as 'presumed intercepted' don't seem to be going anywhere.Their live-stream is showing nothing but posters from months ago.
According to the tracker, there is one boat, the Mikeno, flagged out of Ramallah, still making way to Gaza and currently moving at 0 knots inside Gaza's territorial waters.
It is unclear what or who it is carrying.
Bomb Wearing “Homegrown Terrorist” is to S. 1959 as the Anthrax Attacks is to the Patriot Act (archive)
(Sounds an awful lot like what Pam Bondi and the Trump administration are fighting for now in the wake of the Charlie Kirk and Dallas ICE shootings, right? S1957 made it through the House back then but failed in the Senate. ACLU argued it was some sort of pre-crime and would be used to muzzle dissent in the country, erasing our 1st amendment rights. And here we are again.)
(archived from November 30, 2007)
by Scott Creighton
In the vein of the anthrax attacks that helped pass the Patriot Act, when they were being held up, now, the S 1959 “Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007″, is JUST BY CHANCE, getting the same kind of LUCKY support while it languishes in the Senate and while people like me and many others question it’s constitutionality!
That’s right, a “homegrown terrorist” has strapped what he said was a bomb to his chest and decided to go to a Hillary Campaign headquarters in Rochester, New Hampshire.
Apparently he took hostages, and let them 4 of them go. They are not sure if there is still a woman inside or not.
MSNBC reports “The source, who was not identified, told Williams the man went to a local hardware store earlier Friday, where he apparently bought some of the material he wore into the campaign office. The man apparently bought road flares, according to a local resident who spoke with a relative of the man.”
This is one of 16 Hillary campaign offices in the state, and Hillary was in DC to give a speech to the DNC.
So this guy, goes and buys “road flares” and duct tapes them to his body and walks into the Clinton Campaign Headquarters of some little 30,000 person town, and then lets everyone go? Why, you ask?
Well, as it just so happens, there is also a video of someone who knew the man, on MSNBC, here.
And during the video, this kid says he didn’t really know the man but he knew his kid. But he seemed ok to him, when he met him…”
Now get ready for the punchline… get ready!
The kids says ” He was ok when I met him… but I’ve been told stories around here…that he just had issues. Ah… just complained of “CONSPIRACY THEORIES” …and things of that nature.”

One Party System Shuts Down Government So Russ Vought Can Gut More of It
Through the firings, Russell Vought is going to take advantage of the government shutdown by decimating even more of our federal system. These acts cannot be undone. We only have about 24 million people on ObamaCare right now, which is a record high for the program. There are 341 million people in America. So the Dems will have you believe they are sacrificing the good of the majority for the sake of a tiny minority of Americans. That's bullshit. They want Vought to do his thing just like the Republicans do. It's a one party system folks. When it's all done and Russel is finished, they will compromise and get the subsidies back (because that money goes to Big Business after all) but the Dems will allow for complete deregulation of insurance companies in the ObamaCare portal. Big Business always wins folks.

Global Sumud Flotilla UPDATES
by Scott Creighton
Last night provided the first real bit of drama in this saga. After the Italian ship cut and ran leaving the flotilla folks to fend for themselves (so much for their promise to stick around and pick people out of the water if shit went south), the leaders of the group thought they might be attacked by the IDF so they got everyone up and dressed and into their life preservers so they could sit around on the decks of the boats waiting like good little protesters for the boarding parties which never came.
But it made for good social media theater, which may have been the point all along.
Gotta get those views.
Right now they are sailing under clear blue skies in beautiful conditions, picture perfect for the Mediterranean Sea. By my calculations (from the image from the Global Sumud Tracker website) they are currently 118 miles from the coast of Gaza.
Did Muslim countries agree to a different version of Trump’s Gaza plan?
(It's been reported that 8 Muslim and Arab nations signed onto the Trump 20-point peace plan last week at a meeting that took place at the UN. There are reports and images of Trump sitting next to Erdogan of Turkey. Turns out, Trump and his sycophantic Zionist supporters (Kushner, Witkoff and maybe General Michael "Erik" Kurilla?) then took that agreement to Netanyahu who made changes to the plan and after that happened, the Trump team told everyone those 8 countries agreed to the plan. But that wasn't the case. They hadn't seen Bibi's version which is now on Hamas' table. This is just more scummy and dishonest statecraft from Glorious TrumpyBear and the Genocidal Netanyahu.)
from DAWN
US news outlet Axios says deal now before Hamas is significantly different than one US and Muslim countries had previously agreed on.
US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday unveiled a 20-point plan for Gaza. Subsequently, eight Arab or Muslim-majority nations — Jordan, United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, Pakistan, Türkiye, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Egypt — “welcomed the role of the American president and his sincere efforts aimed at ending the war in Gaza”.
In Pakistan, the government’s so-called approval of the plan had drawn flak from politicians, journalists and activists alike, who termed the deal a “two-state surrender’’ with the scales weighing heavily in Israel’s favour.
Subsequently, signs began appearing that not everyone was happy with the draft made public by the White House. On Tuesday, Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar seemingly distanced Pakistani decision-makers from the plan. He also made it clear in so many words that the US peace plan for Gaza would not be acceptable if the amendments — jointly proposed by eight Muslim countries — were not included.
This came after Trump had previously claimed that both Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir were behind the plan “100 per cent”. However, in yesterday’s presser, Dar said the “document has been issued by the US” and that it was “not our document”.
