🇮🇷❌👑 — Iranian Government executes Preeminent Leader of Ultranationalist, Anti-Islam Iranian militant movement following Kazeroun assassination and Israeli attacks

➡️ Iran executed Jamshid Sharmahd, a 68-year-old software developer and California resident who also held German citizenship known for being affiliated with the Ultranationalist Tondar Society, the Judiciary's news agency said on Monday

➡️ Sharmahd was abducted by Iranian agents during a visit to the United Arab Emirates in 2020 and forcibly taken to Iran. In February 2023, the Iranian judiciary sentenced him to death on charges of endangering national security.

➡️ Sharmahd was convicted of heading the pro-monarchist and Anti-Islam group named Tondar/Kingdom Assembly of Iran accused of a deadly bombing incident that occurred in 2008 at a religious center in Shiraz, killing 14 and injuring 215 more. The accusation, repeatedly denied by the political prisoner, was never substantiated by documented evidence.

➡️ The US green card holder's execution comes two days after the Israeli airstrikes on Iranian military sites.

➡️ Iran, which does not recognise dual citizenship, announced his arrest after a “complex operation”, without specifying how, where or when he was seized.

➡️ Sharmahd was sentenced to death in February 2023 for the capital offence of “corruption on Earth”, a sentence later confirmed by Iran’s supreme court.

➡️ Mizan said Sharmahd was “a criminal terrorist” who “was hosted by the United States as well as European countries and was operating under the complex protection of their intelligence services”.

🇻🇪🇻🇪😡🇧🇷🤩🤩🤩 — Nicolás Maduro speaks of a 'stab in the back' from Brazil and claims that the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs assured him that it would not veto Venezuela's entry into the BRICS

⁉️ Maduro stated that a "Bolsonaro-aligned official" from Brazil’s foreign ministry communicated the veto. However, Itamaraty has undergone ideological reforms since Lula assumed the presidency.

🏃‍♂️ According to Maduro, after the veto, Brazilian Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira “almost fainted” when he encountered him. “I said to him: ‘You vetoed Venezuela,’” recounted the Venezuelan Head of State about the alleged conversation with the Brazilian foreign minister.

🤫 Sources close to Mauro Vieira indicate that he is "inclined to avoid statements or questions considered tricky by the government and always waits for Lula to make the final decision."

🇮🇪 Ireland Passes Hate Crime Legislation with Woke Redefinition of Gender

The Irish parliament passed hate crime legislation on Wednesday evening, which includes within it a redefinition of gender based on transgender ideology.

Ireland’s Criminal Justice Bill passed the Dáil Éireann legislature in Dublin on Tuesday by 78 votes to 52.

The bill will mean that for the first time in Irish history, there will be increased prison sentences for crimes which were found to have involved an element of hatred.

Under the law, a hate crime element is defined as having been motivated by so-called “protected characteristics” such as race, colour, nationality, religion, national or ethnic origin, descent, gender, sexual characteristics, sexual orientation, or disability.

The legislation was significantly watered down last month, with a vast swath of provisions removed from the bill criminalising so-called hate speech, which even included prison time for merely “possessing material likely to incite violence or hatred”.

🇩🇪🇧🇪 Audi Brussels to close in early 2025, signaling deepening VW crisis

German carmaker Audi will close its Brussels plant on Feb. 28 next year, the company’s management announced at a special works council meeting Tuesday.

Management added it is still in talks with a potential buyer to take over the Belgian plant, which has been facing the ax for several months due to poor sales and a crisis affecting its owner, the Volkswagen Group.

No layoffs are expected until the beginning of 2025, and the plant’s management continues to talk with a potential investor who might take over the factory, although not necessarily to continue making passenger vehicles. A savior could emerge from the commercial vehicle sector, for example, with unions suggesting a manufacturer of tractors.

While unprecedented, however, the closures would come as no surprise, as the automaker is facing a sharp decline in sales in China, its core market, and is also being challenged by Chinese competitors entering the European market.

🇨🇳 💻 ⚛️ — China ‘poised to lead’ creation of quantum-proof telecoms security protocol

China is expected to play a leading role in creating a “quantum-proof” communication protocol, after scientists from the country presented a design blueprint at a major international conference on telecoms standards.

The protocol aims to help the world fend off potential attacks from quantum computers that could break traditional communication encryption methods.

A scalable quantum computer once developed could compute exponentially faster than a conventional computer so much so that it could leave all conventional encryption obsolete.

"Just saw estimates for the amount of artillery ammunition that the DPRK supplied to Russia, and it's way more than I thought initially. For close to 20,000 shipping containers, it's close to 6m rounds of 152 and 122."

🇨🇳❌🎃 — 🇨🇳📰 @whyyoutouzhele: Japan's TV Asahi reported on this year’s “Halloween Martial Law” event in Shanghai

➡️ In Shanghai, China, Halloween costume events in the city center are held as scheduled at this time of year every year, but this year, authorities have suppressed the event.

➡️ In previous years, the area would always come alive during Halloween, filled with citizens dressed up as various characters. This year, however, several citizens were prevented from entering the store by police for wearing cosplay (role-playing costumes).

A woman dressed as a character said:

"This year, cosplay is banned. It is said to be because of the large number of people and to prevent stampedes. But maybe it is because this is a Japanese character. Everyone is 'patriotic'."

➡️ Some media reported that Shanghai authorities had issued a notice banning cosplay in the city center during Halloween.

A store employee confirmed:

"We were notified verbally of the rules by the police."

➡️ In the past, some people have worn anti-epidemic clothing or mocked the government by imitating the "surveillance cameras" installed on the streets, so the authorities may be particularly sensitive to such activities.
