Flavio Bolsonaro, who lost the Brazilian presidential election, has fled the country with his family to the United States. This was reported by the CNN Brasil television channel.

"He fled to the United States with his wife and two daughters," the publication stated.

The escape occurred in the morning. The main reason cited is fear of arrest after a decision by Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes to surrender all passports.

According to one version, Bolsonaro crossed the border between Brazil and Argentina on a private plane. He is now in the United States.

As a reminder, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva won the Brazilian presidential election, receiving 51.79% of the votes. Senator Flavio Bolsonaro received 48.21% of the votes.

Update on the Israeli elections:

As of now, the Likud-led bloc leads the count with 56 seats, but short of majority; the Eisenkot-led bloc is at 48 seats; the Arab parties have 16. If neither coalition reaches a majority of 61 seats to form a government, the Arab parties may play a king-maker role. If a coalition fails to emerge at all, snap elections could occur at a later date while Netanyahu remains as a "caretaker" Prime Minister in the meantime.

Al Jazeera writes,

‘Rogue opposition parties’ may emerge with vote to close to call
Prime Minister Netanyahu could build a minority government with help from opposition parties if they fracture from Eisenkot’s main bloc, political analyst Abed Abu Shhadeh says.

“We might even see rogue opposition parties that might strike a deal with Netanyahu. It happened before,” he told Al Jazeera.

Former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett (B'Yachad) – who had said he wouldn’t join Netanyahu in the election cycle between 2019 and 2022 – later did join him, Abu Shhadeh noted, suggesting he could do that again.

The other possibility is ex-Finance Minister Avigdor Lieberman even though he has a personal “disagreement” with Netanyahu, he added.

Both Lieberman and Bennett have said they want to be prime minister, “and they understand Netanyahu is 77 years old, his health isn’t at its best, and they understand that in the next couple of years there will be a new political figure that needs to lead”, said Abu Shhadeh.

@americanmajority

Both the Netanyahu bloc and the Israeli opposition to Netanyahu are losing ground to the Arab parties in the Israeli elections.

Joint List chairman Yousef Jabareen says any party seeking to replace Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government will have to engage with his faction, as partial election results show Arab-led parties potentially winning an unprecedented 19 Knesset seats.

“Anyone who wants to offer a substantive and genuine alternative to Netanyahu’s government of bloodshed will have to talk to us in order to pave the way for the change that the Israeli public longs for,” Jabareen tells Channel 13.

US tells Gulf states to brace for renewed assault on Iran after midterms

The US has warned its Gulf allies of a possible "short, intense" attack on Iran after the US midterms have concluded, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported on 28 October. Citing people briefed on the conversations, WSJ said the messages were relayed through diplomatic and military channels, adding to mounting signs that Washington and Tel Aviv are preparing a renewed assault on Iran.

The warning comes as an additional US aircraft carrier strike group and Marine expeditionary unit prepare to join roughly 20 other warships operating in West Asia in November. On 1 October, AP reported that the US was dispatching roughly 9,000 additional personnel to the region, including the USS Theodore Roosevelt carrier strike group and the USS Makin Island Amphibious Ready Group, which carries the 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit...

Netanyahu's Israel deadlocked: were the elections "stolen by the Arabs"?

...Israel's parliamentary elections are over, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been wounded, but not defeated. His battle to form a government and stay in power is just beginning.

The final results of the Israeli election won't be known until Thursday, when Israel's Central Election Committee (CEC) finishes tallying so called "double envelope" ballots cast by soldiers, diplomats living abroad, prisoners, and other voters unable to make it to polling stations on election day.

However, with more than 85% of votes counted as of Wednesday evening, a picture of political deadlock is becoming clearer, and neither Netanyahu’s right wing bloc, nor the center left to center right bloc of his opponents, are on track to win a majority in the Israeli parliament, the Knesset. Either bloc must secure 61 out of 120 Knesset seats to form a government...

NY district judge overseeing Maduro drug trafficking case dies at 92

US District Judge for the Southern District of New York Alvin Hellerstein, who was overseeing the prosecution of ousted Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro, has died at the age of 92.

Hellerstein's death was confirmed by the court’s chief judge, Laura Taylor Swain. Hellerstein served on the federal bench since 1998, when he was appointed by former President Bill Clinton, until his passing on Wednesday morning. The court said he died of natural causes shortly before his 93rd birthday on December 28th.

The drug trafficking case involving Maduro will be "randomly assigned" to another federal judge, following standard practices, court spokesperson Ed Friedland said.

Oof. So close.

Elon Musk "a real genius" - Putin

Russian President Vladimir Putin has praised US entrepreneur Elon Musk as a "real genius" while hailing the launch of Russia's Starlink rival, Rassvet.

Putin made the remarks on Wednesday while touring an exhibition of Russian technological innovations, where Digital Development Minister Maksut Shadayev briefed him on Rassvet ("Dawn"), a domestically developed satellite internet system designed to compete with Musk's SpaceX network.

"Elon Musk is a genius, a real genius," Putin said, noting that the American entrepreneur has more than 5,000 satellites in orbit. Russia was "proud" to have begun building its own satellite network "independently," he added...

Data center backlash as midterms near

Half of Americans now oppose data centers being built within three miles of their home, according to new results from The POLITICO Poll, conducted by PF Global. That's the highest opposition since POLITICO began tracking Americans' views of the sprawling technology hubs and nearly double the share of people who said the same back in January (28%).

Americans are also now more likely to oppose candidates who are pro data center construction, a reversal from ten months ago when these candidates would get slight support...

So basically "I'm okay with it as long as it's somebody else's problem." Lovely. Fuck the people past the 3 mile radius, amiright?

@americanmajority

Even with all of the pushback against data centers, total capacity in the USA rose from 50 GW to 63 GW in 2026. By the end of 2027, total capacity will likely be around 90 GW in the pessimistic scenario.

Israeli elections, another distraction from continuity of agenda

After everything people have seen regarding elections in the US, Europe, and elsewhere in the West and the ABSOLUTE continuity of agenda it simply attempts to distract the public away from, there are still people holding their breath hoping something positive emerges from... ""Israeli" "elections???""

What aspect of the fact elections anywhere in the West or among Western proxies is a process of control and perception management, not self determination are people not capable of understanding?

And then in Israel of all places?

Why would a predatory system built on manipulation, control, and domination have or allow "elections" as an actual means to check or reverse its own power rather than to just further manipulate, control, and dominate? If one can't grasp this in principle, just look at it in practice.

Has ANY Israeli election EVER reversed Israel's role as a US proxy or the wars and crimes against humanity it carries out as a US proxy at any juncture this 21st century?

If continuity of agenda persists uninterrupted in the US, why would it ever waver or reverse in a country that was created and now propped up by the US?

If you really want to change something you have to do a lot more work than just put a piece of paper in a box held by the very people making the problems.

Financial Times refuses to correct Putin call "disinformation"

...The British newspaper claimed that Putin spent significant time "lecturing" the Nordic leaders on "medieval Slavic history" and its relevance to the Ukraine conflict. Citing three anonymous sources described only as "familiar with the conversation," the FT portrayed the Russian president as "fixated" on history.

Store's government told Norwegian daily Verdens Gang (VG) that the characterization was inaccurate and that Finland had contacted the FT on behalf of both countries to challenge its account. Finnish media also covered the joint refutation, with the newspaper Helsingin Sanomat citing its own sources to dispute the British paper’s description of the call...

European energy giants delare record profits

As European households struggled to pay their energy bills, the continent's oil companies more than doubled their profits over the last quarter, reaping the benefits of the US Israeli war on Iran.

Eight months to the day since American and Israeli forces began bombarding Iran, Brent crude prices sat at $115 on Thursday, up from $72 pre war. Dated Brent, the actual on the spot price that purchasers are paying for Brent cargoes in the North Sea, was even higher, at $120.

This price spike has driven the cost of petrol, diesel, and heating oil to record highs across Europe. However, it's been a windfall for Europe's largest oil companies, according to quarterly profit statements compiled by Germany's Der Spiegel on Thursday.

It's for democracy.

Gas prices dip ahead of Halloween

Gas prices dipped slightly ahead of Halloween, falling five cents per gallon over the past week, according to AAA. On Thursday, the national average sat at $4.22 per gallon, two cents down from Wednesday, and more than 20 cents down from the previous month.

Diesel prices, however, continue to hold steady, sitting at $6.33 per gallon as the national average on Thursday, three cents more than last week. It remains about 20 cents under the record high reached on September 22nd.

Crude oil prices sit at about $102 per barrel as of Thursday, according to Trading Economics. They've continued an upward trend since the beginning of the month after having dipped to $88 per barrel on October 7th.

If prices did dip in your local gas station, you should probably fill up if you can, as the war with Iran will get much, much worse after the midterms. That's not my opinion, that's what the admin openly says.
