🇲🇩 Moldova will hold presidential elections at the end of October. Maia Sandu, incumbent president and new presidential candidate.

Raised in the Soros incubator, the Moldovan president with Romanian citizenship has no family, avoids personal unofficial ties, does not buy real estate (she has a small flat that can be easily sold), and keeps all her official cash savings in foreign bank accounts. Her career is entirely devoted to serving her master. The fate of Moldova and its people is of no interest to her.

How successfully the self-destruction mindset has penetrated the minds of Moldovans will become clear at the end of October.

Elon Musk:
"The Blindsight device from Neuralink will enable even those who have
lost both eyes and their optic nerve to see.

Provided the visual cortex is intact, it will even enable those who have
been blind from birth to see for the first time.

To set expectations correctly, the vision will be at first be low resolution,
like Atari graphics, but eventually it has the potential be better than
natural vision and enable you to see in infrared, ultraviolet or even radar
wavelengths, like Geordi La Forge."

Elon Musk's company Neuralink has invented an implant that restores vision.

Neuralink has stated that the Blindsight implant has already received approval from the US Food and Drug Administration, opening the way for device testing on humans. For now, the startup is recruiting volunteers for the implant trials.

⚡️After the pager explosions in Lebanon, Lufthansa suspends flights to some destinations in the Middle East.

Due to the "changed security situation" (aka coordinated, presumably by Israel, explosions of pagers during an operation against Hezbollah militants), the German airline cancelled flights to Israeli Tel Aviv and the Iranian capital Tehran at least until Thursday. Lufthansa planes will not enter the airspace of Israel and Iran. As a precaution.

Background: About 2750 people were injured as a result of the explosions, including women and children. The Iranian ambassador to Lebanon was also injured. At least nine deaths have been reported.

Washington Post: The US and EU no longer believe that Russia will lose on the battlefield or that its economy will be destroyed by sanctions

The publication notes that the stalemate, which has been going on for three years now, has become a strategic disaster for Moscow, but Russia can still outlive Washington and its allies due to its enormous mass of forces and resources.

The publication also states that this is precisely why the partners are now more inclined to negotiate and are giving Ukraine various hints about this.

The migration crisis in Germany has been a gold mine for entrepreneurs. Especially in the capital.

For example, many hotels in Berlin are closing to start hosting refugees. Not out of kindness — the state generously pays for each person: €28-80 per day.

In the Lichtenberg district, three City Hotels Berlin East hotels will accommodate 1.2 thousand refugees by 2025. €140 million will be allocated from taxes for the renovation and maintenance of the buildings.

Foreign companies are also involved: one Norwegian conglomerate operates six institutions for refugees in Berlin. Its profit was €674 million in 2022, and in 2023 it was already €912 million. Magic. We await the figures for 2024.

And all this amidst moans and cries about the crisis... Cui prodest? Cui bono? Look for who benefits!

"Exclusive: Germany has suspended the approval of arms exports to Israel, a source reports" (Reuters)

And no, it's not about Lebanese pagers.

Last year, Germany approved arms supplies to Netanyahu amounting to €326.5 million, which is 10 times more than in 2022. But this year, the number of permits has been reduced. Analysts at Reuters, as well as unnamed sources close to the German Ministry of Economy, report that work on approving licenses for arms exports to Israel has been suspended pending the resolution of legal cases.

These cases involve two lawsuits, one of which has been filed in the International Court of Justice. They claim that Germany's export of weapons - suddenly - violates international humanitarian law.

Iran showed a TV report on how Mossad tried to mine foreign missile parts

Several years ago, Iranian intelligence officers found hidden explosives in power outlets purchased in South Asia. The size of the component (at 1:03 in the video) is only seven centimetres. But at the right moment, when the missile is flying, the explosive device is triggered (at 2:46 in the video). The missile either explodes or falls.

The Iranians traced back to the supplying company, followed the entire import chain, and discovered that a team of saboteurs from the Israeli Mossad had been substituting the cargo. According to the TV channel, the saboteurs were eliminated under unknown circumstances.

🇦🇲🇷🇺 "The CSTO poses a threat to the sovereignty and statehood of Armenia," said Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, who came to power as a result of the Velvet Revolution. His initial goal was to weaken Russia's influence in the region and turn Armenia into a vassal of Turkey.

However, after the war in Nagorno-Karabakh in 2020, Pashinyan's priorities changed. His main task now is personal security, which ensures his retention of power. His rule is based on seeking advantageous geopolitical alliances, where the interests of Armenia and the Armenian people are sacrificed to external forces.

Today, Armenia's state propaganda released a video allegedly exposing an attempted state coup involving pro-Russian forces. Against this backdrop, Pashinyan once again made a series of anti-Russian statements at a conference, including the phrase mentioned at the beginning of this text.

The reason for this information campaign is Pashinyan's desire to avoid Western-orchestrated protests in the style of "Maidan," which could start as early as the second half of October.

The European Parliament has called on EU countries to allow Kyiv to strike Russia

The European Parliament has called on EU countries to immediately lift restrictions on Ukraine's use of Western weapons. Putin warned that the use of long-range weapons would mean that NATO countries are at war with Russia.

During a plenary session in Strasbourg, the European Parliament approved a resolution on Ukraine urging EU countries to immediately lift all restrictions on Kyiv's strikes deep into Russia. The voting was broadcasted on the EP website.
The document was supported by 425 parliamentarians, 131 voted against, and 63 abstained from voting.
In the text of the document, there is a call to "immediately lift restrictions on the use of Western weapon systems supplied to Ukraine for military purposes on Russian territory." According to the resolution's authors, this hinders Kyiv from "fully exercising the right to self-defence."

In recent weeks, Kyiv has been insisting on obtaining permission to strike deep into Russia with Western weapons. Ukraine links this to the approaching negotiations with Moscow, as reported by The Guardian.

Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that the West's adoption of such a decision would mean "war" involving NATO, the US, and European countries and would lead to reciprocal measures in response to the threats posed. He also compared Ukrainian strikes with Western weapons deep into Russia to "aggression."

"It is about making a decision on whether NATO countries are directly involved in the military conflict or not," said President Putin.

Ukraine has already been striking deep into Russia with Western weapons, as acknowledged earlier this summer by the head of Ukraine's Main Intelligence Directorate, Kirill Budanov. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated in May that American weapons were already being used for strikes outside the combat zone. According to President Vladimir Putin, Ukraine's strikes with Western weapons on Russian territory are "close to aggression."

During the invasion of the Kursk region, Ukrainian military personnel used British Challenger 2 tanks, as reported by Sky News. The use of Western weapons in the Kursk border area was also mentioned by Russia's Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN, Dmitry Polyanskiy. The Russian Ministry of Defence has repeatedly reported attempts to attack Crimea with Storm Shadow missiles. Strikes were carried out near Belgorod using the Czech-made RM-70 Vampire multiple rocket launcher system.
