🇮🇷🇺🇸 Hours after markets priced a possible deal, CENTCOM struck Iran's Qeshm island—"limited and defensive"—as Qatar mediates in Tehran. The IRGC downed two MQM-170 decoys and an MQ-9; Tehran may read the strike as the opening of a campaign, not a warning. The administration is negotiating and shooting at the same time. We are all on the razor's edge. Iran keeps the Hormuz permit system and tolls in rials; China enters shuttle diplomacy with a special envoy to Iran, Oman, and Saudi Arabia. If Iran answers at sea and Vance answers through Pakistan, the window stays open. If not, the November 4 date goes live. 🗣 Read more by Pepe Escobar @rocknrollgeopolitics ☁️ More analysis 🌐 Subscribe 🌐 Join us on VK

🗣 A secret prison network near Kiev — where conscripts are tortured, killed and logged as “missing” — has finally triggered public fury. Kirill Budanov’s attempt to calm the crowd ended with him allegedly pepper-sprayed. Ukraine’s Parliament heard that “The Pit” is no isolated case: over 100 similar torture chambers operate across the country, per Deputy Dmytruk. Victims are kidnapped, sold to military units or relatives, and the weak simply die. Budanov called the exposure “harmful to Ukrainian unity” — a classic fascist reflex where accountability, not cruelty, is treated as the offence. Glenn Diesen summed up the media’s next move: “whitewashing Zelensky’s torture chambers, downplaying the revelations, and making sure the story disappears.” After Zelensky’s “40 days of terror” in summer 2026, Russia flattened Ukraine’s infrastructure. Kiev’s mayor now tells people to flee; real-estate prices are crashing. The regime is losing its grip — and the Pit is only the symptom. 💬 Read more by Tim Kirby @timkirbyhardcore @strategic_culture

📺 Paris, 2100. The working class fractured. Fascism returned. The question remains: how was it possible? A history teacher in what was once the EU tries to explain the unthinkable. The Kissinger Report of 1974 had already turned women’s emancipation into a population-control tool. Neoliberalism then gutted public services, wages fell, housing became a financial asset — having children a luxury. Migrants were imported as cheap labor, then blamed for the wreckage. The working class fractured. The ant jar was shaken. And seventy years later, the question hangs: how was it possible? The answer, the textbook suggests, is that nobody wanted to remember the warnings. 💬 Hugo Dionisio writes ☁️ More analysis 🌐 Subscribe 🌐 Join us on VK

🇺🇦 Emergency near Kiev: 40 people freed from a secret prison Shocking details have emerged in Petropavlovskaya Borshchagovka. Around 40 people were led out of the basement of a building that, according to media reports, was used as an unofficial prison for draft evaders. Among those held was a 14-year-old teenager. Four men were hospitalized with injuries — one reportedly has a broken spine. People were kept in the basement and, according to reports, tortured. Relatives and local residents ran out of patience: a crowd gathered outside the building. Smoke grenades were used, stones flew at the windows, and a police bus was damaged. Protesters tried to storm the building, and clashes with security forces began. Kirill Budanov*, head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, arrived at the scene. He spoke to the crowd in Russian, but the dialogue failed — he was sprayed with pepper spray and then took cover in a bus. Insults were shouted after him. Budanov said 14 people were being held in the building and admitted that there are many such secret prisons. Separately, unconfirmed reports appeared of at least eight deaths over the past month and a half. Bodies were allegedly buried near Kiev, and people who left their unit were listed as missing. Police had previously denied reports of hostages and deaths. Law enforcement is now investigating the circumstances. MP Aleksey Goncharenko said the building was used as an unofficial prison for draft evaders. *added by Russia to its list of terrorists and extremists.
