Oil Slides As Qatar Touts 'Talks' Again; Iran Struck Large Crude Tanker Overnight

Iran is said to have struck a Very Large Crude Carrier in the Strait of Hormuz late on Monday, signaling what will likely be the resumption of strikes on foreign vessels seeking to navigate the Strait of Hormuz, after last week's diplomatic talks at the UN failed to produce a breakthrough. Still, for the time being more oil is being shipped through the strait compared to where the situation was for the past many months of war.

Maritime monitor UKMTO indicated the vessel was struck by a suspected unknown projectile, resulting in a fire. The fire looks to have been extinguished quickly, with the crew safe and the vessel underway on its transit.

On Tuesday Iran's parliament speaker Bagher Ghalibaf has reiterated that America should know that "in a region where we don't sell oil, no one will sell oil." He followed with, "If our security is not ensured, no infrastructure will be safe." Later in the day, Fars reported that another drone has been fired an 'illicit' ship, however few details have been given.

Ghalibaf further described during a parliament session that "the era of intimidation and threats is over" and that the Islamic Republic would escalate its responses.

But he also echoed prior words of Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, who at last week's UN General Assembly said that Iran still seeks diplomacy while asserting its rights.

Similar messaging has been newly issued on the Iranian military front, with Major General Yahya Rahim Safavi, who is a senior advisor to the Supreme Leader, saying that the armed forces stand ready to expand the confrontation to new fronts.

Referencing the ongoing Houthi conflict with the Saudis, wherein the Iran-aligned rebel group has captured Yemen's Red Sea coast, Safavi stated, "The addition of the Bab al-Mandab Strait would change the scene of the war," as quoted in IRIB News.

While some reports have long pointed to the likelihood that IRGC advisers assisted the Houthis this month, the high-ranking general suggested Tehran could get more directly involved, or could tell the Houthis to close the Bab al-Mandab Strait to all foreign vessels.

Russia's Drones Zero In On Ukraine's Data Centers, Mobile Providers

The Russian defense ministry on Tuesday indicated that it attacked and struck two military cargo vessels in the Black Sea as well as two data centers in the Ukrainian capital overnight.

The vessels, which were sailing foreign flags, were struck off Odessa, President Zelensky also confirmed in a Tuesday statement.

The Kyiv region along with ten other areas came under attack overnight, Zelensky acknowledged. But it is the capital which has been getting pounded, also following many weeks and months of Ukraine's long-range drone strikes on Russian territory.

On Monday at least two people were killed when a drone hit National Academy of Sciences in the central part of the capital. The academy in a statement blasted the attack as "Russian terror" and "barbarity" aimed at "peaceful people who were simply at their workplaces."

A couple of new 'themes' have emerged in what have long been a nightly reality of devastating air raids. First, high flying jet-powered drones have been increasingly deployed by Russia.

The new Geran-5 is said to have anti-jamming capabilities and can travel up to an estimated 370mph, reports say. All of this makes them extremely hard to intercept.

Another theme is the war on data centers and mobile infrastructure. One regional source cited the Russian Defense Ministry as calling the campaign a 'mandatory digital detox' with grim sarcasm.

The same source documents the following recent attacks on data centers in Ukraine:

Russian forces continue to strike Ukrainian data centers. On September 25, they attacked an office building in Kyiv that houses a Datagroup data center. The center was damaged, but the company said all its services continued to run from backup sites.

On September 26, a Cosmonova data center in another Kyiv office building was hit. It had to shut down, interrupting broadcasts by several television channels. The strikes on data centers also left some Kyiv residents without internet access.

On September 28, a Russian drone struck an office building in Dnipro. The regional administration reported damage and casualties but did not say which companies occupied the building…

On September 26, Russia’s Defense Ministry said it was striking data centers because they “process and transmit intelligence data for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.” The next day, the ministry posted an image of a drone on social media with the caption “Digital detox” and the comment “Mandatory!”

At the start of this week Russia hit the headquarters of Kyivstar, Ukraine's largest mobile service provider, according to a statement by the company.

Reports of at least seven total killed and over 50 injured in the capital on Monday amid the major attack:

Newly Released Fauci Files Reveal Dangerous NIAID-Funded Aerosolized Ebola Research

Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) released documents from Dr. Fauci's diary and emails Monday detailing his dangerous NIAID-funded research during the Obama Administration, including a 2015 experiment that exposed vaccinated monkeys to aerosolized Ebola.

The risky research was conducted at the United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) at Fort Detrick under a NIAID task order. The NIAID study compared four vaccines in groups of four monkeys exposed to aerosolized Ebola. The exposure was engineered to drive the virus deep into the lungs in a way natural infection would not, the records show.

The vaccinated primates reportedly developed necrosis, inflammation, and fibrin in the lungs, while the unvaccinated controls did not, indicating that the vaccine itself was making the disease worse. The experiments left 80 percent of vaccinated monkeys dead.

"What idiots those guys at USAMRIID are," Fauci wrote on March 7, 2016. The work "should have been a classified experiment that never should have been done in the first place," he added. Two days later, however, then-NIAID director wrote that the experiments were "important for bio defense."

Fauci was outraged that the failed vaccine research was shared with U.S. embassy officials in Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone.

"This should have been a classified experiment," he wrote in his diary. "The foolish DOD people send the data to the FDA and then circulated as FYI to various embassies including those in West Africa where we are about to engage on a much larger DSD vaccine trial for Ebola."

According to Fauci, the embassy officials "went bonkers" because it looked like the U.S. wanted to vaccinate people with a dangerous vaccine.

He also said such experiments should have been classified because they "could indicate a vulnerability."

However, NIAID's own report states that at no time had clearances been requested, nor was classification ever mentioned. Moreover, the data had already gone to vaccine manufacturers, and some of it had already been published.

Nonetheless, Fauci was dismayed when a Department of Defense official mentioned the experiments were funded by NIAID during a White House briefing. "No one followed up on that, but I almost fell off my chair!!!!" he wrote in an email to his colleagues at NIAID.

Following this disclosure, NIAID officials discussed "damage control" in an email chain. "We may need to a bit of damage control here," NIAID's biodefense director wrote.

The problem for Fauci wasn't the dangerous experiments, but the possibility the public could find out about the dangerous experiments. So he took immediate steps to have the research classified.

"The DoD folks said that they wanted to publish the data. I said that I thought that it should be classified and the NSC people blew them out of the water and said that they agreed with me," he said.

Buffalo attorney Ralph Lorigo walked into Sen. Ron Johnson’s Capitol Hill roundtable Monday with numbers the corporate press will spend the next week trying to bury.

He represented 212 families in 40 states after hospitals refused to let dying COVID patients try ivermectin while Remdesivir and ventilators rolled on.

Of the 72 cases Lorigo won in which the drug was actually given, only three patients died. That is a 95.8 percent survival rate. Of the 140 cases he lost or could not get into court in time, every single patient died.

Hegseth Orders U.S. Cyber Command and Pentagon Intelligence Apparatus to Mobilize Against Foreign Threats Targeting 2026 Elections

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth is not playing games with America’s midterms.

A Sept. 22 memorandum directs U.S. Cyber Command, the National Security Agency, the Defense Intelligence Agency, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, and the rest of the Defense Intelligence Enterprise to prioritize Department of War intelligence and cyber power against foreign actors trying to meddle in the 2026 elections.

The subject line is blunt: “Countering Foreign Threats to 2026 Elections.”

Hegseth writes that as the country approaches this election cycle, “we must prove that we can and will protect the integrity of our democratic processes from any threat.”

He quotes President Trump directly: “free and fair elections are the foundation of our republic” and “no country can be great without fair elections.”

Then he gives the order.

Cyber Command and the Combat Support Agencies “will prioritize the use of DoW intelligence and cyber capabilities to ensure foreign actors do not meddle in our democratic systems.”

The Defense Intelligence Enterprise is directed to “execute collection and production on foreign threats to our elections, in accordance with the law, regulation, Executive direction, and DoW policies and directives.”

Cyber Command is further ordered to use its existing authorities, capabilities, and competencies — in coordination with the Department of Homeland Security — “to counter potential cyber threats from foreign actors targeting our elections.”

And he does not leave it as a suggestion. Hegseth tells the entire DIE to “mobilize every authorized asset, capability, and partnership under your command to defend our election infrastructure from foreign malign influence” so that “every lawful voter can cast their ballot free from foreign intimidation, coercion, or fear.”

“Assuring and protecting this ability is a no-fail mission,” the Secretary writes.

Russian Tu-95 bomber crashes, killing six crew – MOD

The aircraft was carrying no ammunition and came down in an uninhabited area of Russia’s Amur Region during a training flight

A Tu-95 strategic bomber has crashed during a training flight in the Amur Region in the Russian Far East, killing six crew members and injuring another, according to Moscow’s Defense Ministry.

The injured crew member was evacuated to a medical facility, the ministry said.

The aircraft was unarmed and crashed in an uninhabited area, the MOD added.

A Russian Aerospace Forces commission has been sent to the site to investigate the cause of the crash.

The Soviet-designed Tu-95, which first flew in 1952, remains the world’s fastest production turboprop aircraft. The long-range strategic bomber has been used extensively by Russia to launch Kh-101 cruise missiles at targets in Ukraine during the conflict.

The bombers are part of the Russian nuclear triad and are capable of carrying missiles with thermonuclear warheads.

Zionist West Bank occupation mobs are burning Palestinian homes

Reporting from Jalud, Charlotte Dubenskij details how settlers are defying an order from Israel’s High Court

More than 100 Israeli settlers have staged a riot in the West Bank village of Jalud, burning Palestinian homes and vehicles and throwing stones at Israeli forces, after the Jewish state’s High Court ordered that Palestinian families the mob had targeted and evicted weeks earlier be returned to their homes.

In a report filed from Jalud on Tuesday, RT’s Charlotte Dubenskij details the extremists’ response.

Transgender NYT executive charged with child-abuse before being killed

Jonathan McKinsey was embroiled in a bitter custody battle when he was allegedly shot dead by his in-laws, court documents show

A transgender New York Times executive allegedly killed by his in-laws over the weekend in California was facing child-abuse charges amid a bitter family battle, newly reported court documents have revealed.

Jonathan McKinsey, 40, director of engineering for NYT Games, was gunned down on Saturday at a sports complex east of San Francisco. Police arrested his parents-in-law, Shouyong Zhang and Shili Chen, both in their late 70s, near the scene on suspicion of murder.

The pair are being held without bail and are due to appear in court on Wednesday. Police said McKinsey was deliberately targeted but have not linked the killing to the family dispute.

The incident came a week before a scheduled hearing in McKinsey’s contentious divorce and custody fight with his estranged wife, Candice Jang, according to court records cited by AP.

McKinsey transitioned from female to male in 2010, according to the Mercury News, citing court filings. The documents indicate that McKinsey and Jang were already close during his transition-related medical treatment that year. The couple subsequently married and had three children.

There is no public information on how McKinsey and Jang had their children or which person gave birth. A couple consisting of a transgender man and a biological woman would need donor sperm to conceive. Depending on the circumstances, either could provide the egg and carry the pregnancy.

The court battle featured competing allegations of abuse. Jang accused McKinsey of years of violence against her and their children. McKinsey was charged with two misdemeanor child-abuse offenses for allegedly hitting his six-year-old son in the face and leaving another child, then aged two, home alone while he went shopping. He pleaded not guilty to both charges and was seeking admission to a mental-health diversion program.

False flag incoming!

Netanyahu claims indications of attack plot by ‘enemies’ ahead of election; Lapid to be briefed

PM to provide opposition leader with security update Tuesday night after opposition party chiefs raise alarm over vague announcement, suggest it may be meant to undermine vote

“We have indications that, ahead of the elections, our enemies will try to attack us,” Netanyahu said in a video filmed during a visit to the Tel Nof air base.

“So from here, from the Air Force base, from the long arm of Israel, I am sending you a message: Don’t mess with us — not now, and not ever,” he said in Hebrew. “Our long arm will reach you anywhere and at any time.”

Immediately after the prime minister posted the video, top election contender Gadi Eisenkot’s Yashar party demanded that Netanyahu update Opposition Leader Yair Lapid of any new security threats.

“If Netanyahu’s statements regarding the security threats are correct, this requires an immediate update to Opposition Leader Yair Lapid,” the party said on X, adding that such a meeting is needed “to ensure that it is indeed a genuine threat and not a political maneuver intended to harm the election.”

UAE confirms Netanyahu visit, discussion over bilateral relations with MBZ via state news agency

The report by WAM was the first UAE confirmation of Netanyahu's visit. Earlier this year, the UAE denied that MBZ met with Netanyahu after the PMO said Netanyahu had visited in May.

UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan (MBZ) discussed bilateral relations during a visit on Sunday by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the Gulf country, the Emirati state news agency WAM reported on Monday.

The report by WAM was the first UAE confirmation of Netanyahu's visit, and is notable given how the UAE rarely corroborates visits by Israeli officials.

The Prime Minister's Office said on Monday that Netanyahu visited at the invitation of the UAE president. It said the visit "focused on strengthening relations between the two countries and on regional challenges."

According to the PMO, Netanyahu was accompanied by his wife Sara, the head of the National Security Council, the head of the Mossad, the military secretary and the foreign policy advisor.

Three senior Israeli officials said the meeting on Sunday lasted six hours and focused on Iran.

The PMO also denied an AP report that Netanyahu requested that MBZ deny the recent reports claiming that he had warned him of an impending Hamas attack before October 7.

"Fake news. The visit focused solely on strengthening relations between the two countries and addressing regional challenges," the office said in a statement.

UAE denied earlier Netanyahu visit in May

Earlier this year, the UAE denied that MBZ met with Netanyahu after the Israeli prime minister's office said in May that Netanyahu had "secretly visited" the Gulf country and met with the president.

A source familiar with the meeting said at the time that Netanyahu and MBZ met in Al-Ain, an oasis city in Abu Dhabi along the country's border with Oman, on March 26.

Since coming under attack during the Iran war, the UAE has strengthened its relationships with the ‌United ⁠States and Israel, with which it opened ties as a result of the 2020 Abraham Accords. The relationship with Israel gives the UAE a lever for regional influence and a unique channel to Washington.

'Staggering surrender': CDC pushes COVID vaccines for healthy people 'off-label,' infuriating MAHA

Return of one-size-fits-all recommendations from Biden administration, after FDA issued limited approvals for elderly and high-risk, may hurt midterm turnout for GOP beyond spat with pro-lifers over lax abortion pill rules.

The second Trump administration increasingly resembles the Biden administration on two issues that played a major role in President Donald Trump's 2024 victory, raising the question of how many foot soldiers Republicans can turn out in November midterms.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention blew past its sibling Food and Drug Administration's targeted approvals of updated COVID-19 vaccines for elderly and high-risk Americans, quietly issuing recommendations last week that all healthy adults and children starting at 6 months old take the non-sterilizing mRNA products off-label.

The expansion is even more surprising because the FDA approved Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna mRNA vaccines without direct human evidence for the efficacy of the new formulations compared to a placebo, putting tens of millions of Americans who still get COVID vaccines for themselves or their children at risk of becoming guinea pigs.

The CDC cryptically cited "legal uncertainties and inquiries" for its one-size-fits-all jab recommendations, which simply reinstate its recommendations from the July 2025 immunization schedule for the upcoming "respiratory illness season."

Heidi Overton, nominee for FDA commissioner, pointedly affirmed at her confirmation hearing last week that the agency has deemed "all" approved vaccines on the market "safe and effective," giving the CDC cover for its off-label push.

Neither the CDC nor Department of Health and Human Services answered Just the News queries to explain the recommendations in light of the FDA's targeted approvals.

Hours before Overton's hearing Thursday, Students for Life of America sent the FDA a "notice of intent to sue," alleging failure to follow the Endangered Species Act when it approved an abortion pill in 2000 because it didn't consult with relevant agencies about mifepristone's threat to wildlife when it arrives in waterways via wastewater.

SFLA made the same legal argument when the Supreme Court reviewed mifepristone's approval, while several GOP state attorneys general asked the Environmental Protection Agency to add the abortion pill to its next "contaminant candidate list," with both citing the surge in mifepristone's at-home use since the Supreme Court overturned federal abortion rights.

The FDA's refusal to reinstate in-person prescribing requirements for mifepristone that were removed by the Biden administration, and the Trump administration's argument that states don't have legal standing to challenge FDA changes to mifepristone's conditions, had already created a rift with one of the GOP's most loyal voter bases ahead of midterms.

‘Absolute Travesty’: Dangerous Levels of Atrazine Found in Waterways Millions Use for Drinking Water

Levels of the hormone-disrupting pesticide atrazine known to harm aquatic wildlife are estimated to contaminate more than 25% of all river and stream miles in the lower 48 states — nearly 860,000 miles, according to a new analysis by the Center for Biological Diversity.

Levels of the hormone-disrupting pesticide atrazine known to harm aquatic wildlife are estimated to contaminate more than 25% of all river and stream miles in the lower 48 states — nearly 860,000 miles, according to a new analysis by the Center for Biological Diversity.

“One quarter of our rivers and streams are being treated like a sewer by corporate agriculture,” said Nathan Donley, environmental health science director at the Center for Biological Diversity.

“Just one pesticide is single-handedly polluting vast expanses of our nation’s waterways at levels that endanger people and wildlife. It’s an absolute travesty.”

The analysis, which assessed U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) water contamination data, also found that dangerous levels of atrazine pollute waterways relied on by more than 20% of U.S. surface-water treatment facilities, reservoirs and water intakes that provide water for people to drink, bathe and prepare food.

The September report identified five hotspots with some of the highest levels of atrazine contamination in the country: Chesapeake Bay, Midwest Corn Belt, Florida’s Lake Okeechobee, lower Mississippi River and Texas Gulf Coast. Millions of people in these regions are served atrazine-contaminated water by their public water utility.

The areas where waterways are highly contaminated with atrazine also contain at least 675,000 wells currently supplying potable water to homes and businesses, including hotels, restaurants and office buildings.

More than 70 million pounds of atrazine are sprayed on crops each year and it is the most widely detected pesticide contaminant in U.S. rivers, streams and below-ground water supplies.

It is a known hormone-disrupting pesticide linked to birth defects, multiple cancers, and fertility problems like low sperm quality and irregular menstrual cycles.

Because of those well-documented health concerns, atrazine has been banned in more than 60 countries. Yet the EPA is in the process of reapproving its use in the U.S. for at least another 15 years.

“We need to follow the lead of over 60 countries around the world and ban atrazine once and for all,” said Donley. “Failing to do so will mean disease, death and dirty water in America for decades to come.”

In the Chesapeake Bay, more than 5.5 million acres of the bay’s watershed — encompassing over 15,000 river miles — are contaminated with atrazine at levels higher than those known to harm aquatic ecosystems. That area is home to 18 million people and more than 3,600 species of plants and animals.

In the Midwest Corn Belt, encompassing Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio, more than two-thirds of the total river miles are contaminated with dangerous levels of atrazine. This includes over half of the region’s wells and 68% of the region’s drinking-water treatment facilities that source from surface water.

Florida’s 730-square-mile Lake Okeechobee is surrounded by 500,000 acres of nearby sugarcane fields, which are heavily sprayed with atrazine. The lake is visited by thousands of people each year for boating and fishing.

Atrazine-contaminated watersheds run nearly the entire length of the lower Mississippi River, many at concentrations more than five times the level the EPA has found harmful to aquatic ecosystems.

This poses a threat not only to wildlife but to the 20 million people who rely on the river for their drinking water. Water from more than 40% of the continental U.S. flows down the Mississippi River to the Gulf of Mexico.

The Texas Gulf Coast from Corpus Christi to Galveston is a vital region for migrating birds, aquatic wildlife and recreational activities like swimming, boating and fishing.

More than 6 million acres in this region, covering more than 6,000 river miles, are contaminated with atrazine levels that can harm aquatic wildlife.

Texas is the state with the most public water utilities reporting atrazine contamination, with nearly 15 million people in the state drinking atrazine-contaminated water.

This is done so eloquently, yet very perscise, while also speaking directly to fellow Christian's torwards the end.

This is one I can send to all the evangelical/boomers the intro itself will catch their attention I love how he did that! 👨‍🍳😘

What perfect timing with the slop today as they are freaking out about being exposed in the new documentary Naza. And suddenly everyone is aware Bibi was warned 2 weeks ahead, something we've been screaming since October 12, 2023.
