Protesters clash with police in downtown Milan
Law enforcement deployed tear gas and water cannons as demonstrations over rising living costs turned violent in several Italian cities
Italian police have deployed tear gas and water cannons during clashes with protesters in Bologna and Milan amid nationwide demonstrations against the rising cost of living.
Organized by Italia in Piazza, a movement of students and young workers, the rallies began across Italy on Saturday to protest high fuel and energy prices, soaring rents, low wages, and deteriorating healthcare and education. Demonstrators also voiced opposition to military spending.
In Milan, where more than 5,000 people joined the march, participants carried a banner demanding “more money for families, less for wars.” In Genoa, crowds waved Palestinian flags and carried anti-war placards, calling for more funding for schools and housing rather than weapons.
While initially peaceful, the rally in Milan turned violent when demonstrators reached police cordons in the city center. Masked protesters threw stones and homemade explosive devices at officers, who responded with charges that split up the march.
Clashes spread to the area outside Milan’s iconic Duomo Cathedral, where protesters hurled metal barriers and trash bins and set barricades made from cafe tables on fire.
In the nearby Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II shopping arcade, luxury stores lowered their shutters and staff and customers sheltered inside. Police charged into the arcade to disperse the groups.
Protesters kicked a police vehicle and pelted it with furniture and stones, forcing it to retreat. Tourists sheltered under porticoes amid broken glass, debris, and tear gas.

Trump says he is allowed to issue a self-pardon and signals openness to pardoning staff
In a Newsmax interview Thursday, Trump said he is allowed to grant himself a pardon. He said he does not think about doing it because he “did nothing wrong” and could have done it when he left office the first time but did not. He also said he does not want people who work for him to “go through years of nonsense, hire lawyers and everything else, all for nothing.” A White House spokesperson later pointed back to those comments when asked about any plans. No president has previously issued a self-pardon and then faced prosecution. Trump previously told Time magazine he would consider pardons for administration members.

Meet the US generals and admirals advancing Israeli policy
JINSA and its American 'people' have taken credit for a number of recent legislative efforts, including the controversial NDAA Section 219
In August, the Jewish Institute for National Security of America (JINSA) publicly took credit for shaping “multiple provisions” now in this year’s defense policy bill, stating that many were “impacted by prior JINSA policy recommendations,” including “proposals to strengthen U.S.-Israel defense industrial base integration” and “renew pre-existing joint U.S.-Israel programs.”
Among the provisions JINSA takes credit for is the controversial Section 219. In the House version of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), this section mandates the creation of a single executive agent tasked with “synchronizing cooperative efforts” between the U.S. and Israel across nine basket categories, including AI, quantum technology, biotechnology, and virtually every category of weapons.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has argued that such provisions would transition the U.S.-Israel security relationship from aid to partnership. But pro-Israel advocates have emphasized the leverage it would provide over Washington’s military policy.
Mark Dubowitz, the CEO of the pro-Israel Foundation for Defense of Democracies, appeared to reference this provision in an article arguing that the U.S. and Israel must “deepen their military, technological, intelligence and economic integration to such an extent that inflicting financial harm on Israel would also carry a significant cost for Washington.”
Other initiatives JINSA has advocated for likewise read like an Israeli government wishlist. They include a pending provision to “extend the existing War Reserve Stockpile Authority for Israel,” which provides a secretive and high-speed pathway for funneling weapons to Israel, as well as Abraham Accords provisions including “Improvements to Air and Missile Defense Acquisition” and a “United States-Abraham Accords Defense Cooperation Initiative.”
The policy wins JINSA is trumpeting are a result of its strong foothold within the military-industrial complex, and are perhaps one of the most overlooked aspects of the pro-Israel lobby. The group says it achieves these goals “by conducting both educational programs that build ties among American, Israeli and other Middle Eastern partner military leaders, along with in-depth research and actionable recommendations to influence U.S. policy.” JINSA’s “Our People” webpage includes a long roster of retired U.S. military officials.
One of JINSA’s most important programs, which has existed for more than four decades, is its “Generals and Admirals Program.” The initiative involves flying recently retired U.S. military officials to Israel. Many of the trip’s participants were already sitting on defense-industry boards when they went, while others joined soon afterward. At least 55 of the 83 alumni from the 2019–2026 G&A program cohorts (about 66%) have held or currently hold positions in the defense industry spanning board seats, executive jobs or advisory roles at defense contractors and defense-tech firms, or posts at defense-focused investment funds, consultancies and lobbying shops.
JINSA hopes that, when these former military officials return from Israel, they will use their credentials and defense industry power to become Israel’s advocates.
JINSA describes the program, founded in 1981, as “designed to ensure that the delegation is well briefed on the security concerns of Israel, as well as the key role Israel plays as a friend and ally of the United States.” The Helmsley Charitable Trust, which provided a 13 month grant for the program in 2017 worth $237,846, similarly says the purpose of the program is in part for participants to “return home to share publicly what they learned.”
The itinerary for the Generals and Admirals program includes meetings with Israel’s prime minister, defense minister, IDF chief of staff and the Director of Mossad. According to JINSA, after completing the program, “participants often engage on important policy initiatives through JINSA’s Gemunder Center for Defense and Strategy that strengthen…the U.S.-Israel security relationship.” JINSA CEO Michael Makovsky highlighted the program’s influence in 2014, calling U.S. generals and admirals “America’s most admired leaders, who remain very influential even after retirement.”

Clashes erupt at Argentine student protests
Demonstrators clashed with police as President Javier Milei's decision not to release funding for universities brought students and employees to the streets. Protesters say the country's future is at stake.
Protesters took to the streets in Argentina's capital, Buenos Aires, to demonstrate against libertarian President Javier Milei's cost-cutting measures for education.
Thousands of students, university staff, trade unionists and opposition supporters crowded outside the parliament, demanding the implementation of a law to finance universities.
While the rally was largely peaceful, clashes also erupted, with reports of masked individuals throwing stones at police, injuring at least eight officers. Some 25 people were arrested, according to the country's National Security Ministry.
Reports said other protesters had tried to push those throwing stones back. Police used water cannons and tear gas to disperse the crowds.
Security Minister Alejandra Monteoliva said the protesters wanted to "sow chaos," posting on her X account that the right to protest is not "

🇷🇺🇫🇮 SPACE WAR?
Highly maneuverable Russian military satellite positioned itself to take down Finnish spy satellite that provides targeting data to Ukraine.
Kosmos 2612 is on track to move into close distance to the ICEYE-X36 tomorrow.
Enforcing Russian deep strike red lines via taking satellites would certainly make sense, though it sounds like material from a movie. Certainly it’s possible according to tracking data.
Will it take it down or just position itself close by as a warning?

Dr. Jay Varma, the former top NYC public health advisor who shaped Mayor de Blasio's COVID policies, confessed in a recorded conversation how they forced vaccine compliance on MILLIONS of citizens while exempting themselves from the rules they weaponized.
Oh, and he was also getting high on Molly and attending orgies in hotels and underground Wall Street basements during the same lockdowns he enforced.
If we don't remain vigilant HERE, they WILL try this again in a post-Trump era and we can't forget that.
"The way we do it in public health is we make it very uncomfortable to be unvaccinated. I'm just gonna make it really hard for you to do your job..You can't get a job. You can't go to a restaurant! You force people by making it really uncomfortable!"

Austrian Air flight from TLV to Vienna makes emergency landing due to suspected security threat
An Austrian Airlines flight from Tel Aviv to Vienna has made an emergency landing in Sofia, Bulgaria, due to a suspected security threat on the flight, according to reports.
The security concerns were triggered by a suspicious object on the aircraft deck, according to the reports. The plane reportedly sent out an emergency signal.
Passengers tell Ynet that the emergency was the result of an anonymous report of an explosive on board. The plane reportedly was carrying a delegation of young people who were due to speak at the United Nations.
The incident comes less than three weeks after a co-pilot on a flydubai flight to Tel Aviv attempted to crash the plane in a terror attack, and was thwarted by the plane’s captain and several Israeli passengers.

Trump offers ‘warrior’ Netanyahu ‘complete and total endorsement’ for reelection
US president says Israeli PM is only candidate who won’t leave Washington alone in fight against Iran; Eisenkot and Bennett say only Israeli voters will decide
US President Donald Trump endorsed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s bid for reelection on Sunday, nine days before Israel’s October 27 national vote, saying any other candidate would be the “wrong” leader and leave the US to fight Iran alone.
“BIBI NETANYAHU WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform, using the premier’s nickname.
Trump’s endorsement came after he said Thursday that he had not “even thought about” backing a candidate in the Israeli election, amid his disagreements with Netanyahu in recent months over US efforts to end the war in Iran.
Netanyahu and his allies paraded the endorsement, while the premier’s opponents said they respected Trump, but that Israelis would choose their leaders.
The mercurial US leader long ago abandoned the norm of US presidents not intervening in the elections of allied countries, and has on numerous occasions endorsed candidates in various nations.

Amid outrage, Netanyahu claims no ‘compelling evidence’ settlers attacked European diplomats
Despite images from scene of attack and IDF condemnation, PM suggests incident could be part of ‘coordinated smear campaign’; Belgium to push for EU sanctions on those involved
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed on Saturday night there was a lack of “compelling evidence” surrounding a violent settler attack on European diplomats in the West Bank earlier in the day, appearing to suggest the incident was part of a “coordinated smear campaign.”
Vehicles belonging to diplomats from France, Belgium, and Poland were attacked in the Taybeh area by masked settlers, with footage showing one of the vehicles was pelted with stones and had its window smashed. According to testimonies, seven masked settlers surrounded the diplomatic vehicle and demanded identification documents before attacking the car.
Belgian Foreign Minister Maxime Prevot said that the Belgian consul general, French and Polish diplomats, and a French mayor were among those attacked, while a Belgian vehicle was damaged.

Who is Rebeca Grynspan, the Jewish frontrunner to lead the UN - and what is her Israel stance?
Rebeca Grynspan, 70, a former vice president of Costa Rica, was born in central America to Jewish parents who fled Poland in 1936 due to Nazi persecution.
Jewish former vice president of Costa Rica Rebeca Grynspan is leading the straw poll for the next UN secretary-general. If she successfully replaces Antonio Guterres when he finishes his term on December 31, she will become the first Jewish UN secretary-general in the body’s history.
Grynspan, 70, was born to Jewish parents Manuel Grynspan Burstin and Sara Mayufis Schapiro in San José. Her parents fled Poland in 1936 due to Nazi persecution, while her maternal grandparents stayed behind and were killed during the Holocaust.
Grynspan’s husband – Saul Weisleder – is also Jewish, and they have two children. Her sister, Frida, lives in Israel, and Grynspan has a niece and nephew who served in the IDF. In a 2014 interview with the Tico Times, Frida referred to herself as a “lifelong Zionist.”
After obtaining a bachelor’s degree in economics from the University of Costa Rica and a master’s degree in economics from the University of Sussex in England, Grynspan became a professor and researcher at the Economic Science Research Institute of the University of Costa Rica.
She served as vice finance minister from 1986 to 1988, and as the second vice president of Costa Rica from 1994 to 1998. She then became the first woman to serve as the secretary-general of the Ibero-American General Secretariat from 2014 to 2021 and then the first woman to become the secretary-general of UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD) in 2021. She currently holds this position.
