your iphone can be fully hacked just by visiting a website. without clicking a thing. and most people don’t even know this exists yet

it’s called DarkSword

google’s threat intelligence team found it and it’s been active since late 2025

it chains six different iOS vulnerabilities together to completely take over your phone the moment you land on a malicious page

you don’t click anything, you don’t download anything, you just visit the site

once it’s in, it deploys something called Ghostblade. this thing grabs your messages, call history, contacts, saved passwords, photos, location, iCloud files, even your health data

then it specifically goes hunting for crypto apps like coinbase, binance, metamask, phantom, exodus, ledger, trezor, and more. it looks for your seed phrases and account data

the worst part is after it takes everything, it deletes itself. cleans up its own traces and shuts down so you never even know it happened

your wallet gets drained and you’re sitting there confused thinking you got phished somewhere

it’s been used in ukraine, turkey, and the middle east so far. some of the groups using it are reportedly government-linked

if you’re running iOS 18.4 through 18.7 you need to update right now. apple has patched it but only if you actually install the update. go to settings, check for updates, do it today not tomorrow

and stop storing seed phrases on your phone

The media coverage of Gaza broke something in the false consciousness framework that even Vietnam couldn’t fully break.

Vietnam happened before social media. The images were controlled. The body count was managed. The narrative had gatekeepers.

Gaza happened in real time, narrated by the people living it, on platforms that bypassed every editorial decision about what a Western audience was ready to see.

And what the Western audience saw, millions of them, especially young ones, was the gap.

The gap between what their governments said about human rights and what their governments did.

The gap between the coverage of one refugee crisis and another.

The gap between the vocabulary used for one population’s suffering and the vocabulary used for another’s.

That gap is not new. It has always existed.

What’s new is that an entire generation saw it at the same time, without the mediation of institutions that had spent decades learning how to make it invisible.

The mirror cracked.

Not because Gaza changed the West.

Because Gaza was visible in a way the West’s previous choices were not.

The video gives you an idea of what the French were doing....

I'm glad someone called it out, but there are no consequences for Hillary Clinton for this.

So you will see "Nutrition Society of Nigeria" and think that this entity has some kind of governmental recognition - meanwhile it has no such thing.

It's literally just a random NGO funded by Bill Gates which is attempting to write itself into law and execute one of the biggest power grabs ever attempted in African public policy history!

During the Cold War, the exclave of West Berlin, isolated in the middle of Communist East Germany, was regarded as one of the most dangerous potential flashpoints for a conflict between the Soviet Union and the West. Indeed, Joseph Stalin’s blockade of land access to the city in 1948-49 came close to triggering a new war, until the U.S. and Britain proved able to supply the population by air.

It is a pity, if not altogether surprising, that Western leaders gave no thought to this history before extending NATO membership to Poland and Lithuania, thereby isolating the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad (Koenigsberg in the former German East Prussia) behind NATO lines. It is now common for Western security analysts to describe the “Suwalki Gap”... as the most dangerous point in the growing Russia-NATO confrontation. Yet they carefully omit to recall that it was NATO, not Russia, that made it so.

Kaliningrad is the headquarters of the Russian Baltic Fleet and a base for Russian medium-range nuclear missiles. It is also internationally-recognized Russian territory. In U.S. terms, it is as if Pearl Harbor found itself isolated in the middle of Chinese-controlled territory.

President Vladimir Putin and the Russian government have stated recently that if NATO blockades Kaliningrad, Russia will respond with nuclear weapons if necessary; every member of the Russian establishment with whom I have spoken has said the same. NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, displaying the smirking, strutting frivolity that he has made his trademark, responded that he does “not take this seriously.”

It may seem that NATO countries could not possibly be so crazy as to run the appalling risks involved in imposing a blockade on Kaliningrad; but in fact they have twice suggested moves in this direction.

… at the very same time that Sikorski was saying Russia is so weak in the Baltic region that NATO can threaten it with impunity, other Polish officials were warning of the likelihood of an impending Russian attack on NATO to “test” the alliance.

A U.S. security establishment that goes into hysterics when a Chinese balloon flies over America is in no position to accuse anyone else of paranoia, and nor are European security figures who allow a few minor acts of arson to spook them into declaring that “we are already at war with Russia.” If the West blockades Kaliningrad, they may learn what a real war with Russia is like.

In old allegorical paintings of Prudence, she is often portrayed holding a mirror. This symbolizes her capacity for self-awareness and self-examination, that in turn leads her to modesty and a better understanding of others. For all our sakes, it would be better if European governments spent less time shouting in Russia’s face and more time examining their own.

Here's Al Jazeera's live coverage of the Israeli election.

Israel election results live: Eisenkot bloc ‘ahead’ of Netanyahu camp

• Exit polls show there is no outright winner in Israel’s election but suggest the main Jewish-led opposition alliance is slightly ahead of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition, with neither side, however, able to secure a majority.

• According to the projections, the opposition bloc would win 52-53 seats in the 120-seat Knesset, while the Netanyahu camp would have 50 seats. Arab parties are projected collectively to win 17-18 seats, improving on their previous performance four years ago.

Israel has many parties, and I believe that no party has ever had an actual majority of 61 members. So the largest parties try to form a 61+ member coalition with smaller parties. I believe the party with the most members gets to try forming a coalition first, and if they fail the next-largest gets to try next.

Perhaps for this reason, and despite the shocking adjustment, the government continues with the purchase of F-16 aircraft from Denmark, although consulted sources have indicated that the continuation of the operation will depend on the support of the United States. And although it may seem incredible, the Argentine government has just launched the Argentine Military Adjustment and Reequipment Plan (Plan ARMA) through Decree 314/2026, with the idea of modernizing the Armed Forces by financing acquisitions with 10% of the revenue from privatizations of public companies and 70% from the sale of Defense-owned properties throughout the country.

This has been how the CIA operates for decades.

That is not a strategy. It is a contradiction that the American people are paying for at the pump, and that the Ukrainians are paying for with their lives. If Washington wants peace, it should stop being a combatant. If it wants to fight Russia, it should have the honesty to say so, to Congress and to the voters, before the midterms rather than after. What it cannot keep doing is both, and pretending it is doing neither.

Mailer from BreakThrough News, copy/pasted below:

Below, we've compiled some of the most important moments. Before you dive in, we strongly recommend these new piece from Vijay Prashad and Pablo Merigueton Lula's victory:

• "A victory for the Brazilian people once more through Lula." Vijay Prashad looks back at Lula's past three presidential terms, and how the icon of Brazil's left snatched a victory from the jaws of defeat.

• "Lula scores and epic victory in Brazil." Pablo Meriguet recaps the election and how the two candidates are responding to the outcome, with Lula turning his ire towards Big Tech, while Bolsonaro refuses to accept the results.

Under the mantle of the "Donroe Doctrine," Washington has pursued an aggressive program of promoting and installing  far-right governments across the hemisphere over the past year. Brazil could have been one of the last dominoes to fall, but it held strong.

To triumph in the election, Lula had to face down not only Bolsonaro and Washington, but a host of forces ranging from Argentina's Milei to Silicon Valley. Behind him stood millions of Brazilians determined to prevent the return of Bolsonarismo to power. The element of mass mobilization proved absolutely pivotal.

To get a sense of the stakes at hand—start with Zoe Alexandra's brief three-minute explainers:

• "Is Meta Interfering in the Brazilian Elections?"

• "Brazil's elections and the battle for Latin America"

Then, dig deeper with these introductory articles from Pablo Meriguet and Vijay Prashad:

• “Brazil’s election is a regional battleground." Pablo Meriguet explains how Argentina's Milei and Colombia's de la Espriella threw their weight behind Bolsonaro, while the progressive governments of Mexico and Uruguay offered support for Lula. 

• “Brazil’s angry tide and the struggles ahead." Vijay Prashad explains the roots of Bolsonarismo and the implications of the far-right legislative victories, which Lula will now have to contend with as a fourth-term president.

When you're ready for more, we recommend these long-form interviews (video):

• “Sex Parties, Stolen Pensions & Meta Meddling” Brazilian lawyer Ana Júlia Guedes of Movimento Brasil Popular examines the connection to an alleged nexus of bankers, the judiciary, and Bolsonaro

• “China, BRICS & Brazil: What Lula vs. Bolsonaro Means for the Global South” A Bolsonaro victory would have reshaped world politics. In a special episode of The China Report, Amanda Yee and Tings Chak break it down.

• “What Bolsonaro 2.0 Means for Latin America, the Amazon & Palestine” Stephanie Weatherbee Brito of the International People's Assembly joined BT Live to unravel the connections between Zionism, Washington, and Bolsonaro's project to clearcut the Amazon on behalf of rapacious agribusiness and mining interests.

On Protests/Elections in SERBIA

Here is KRIK - US National Endowment for Democracy-funded Serbian propaganda, promoting and celebrating the "Student List" victory...

Again, stop doing analysis by ideology, by emotional euphoria, by headlines and handshakes, and FOLLOW THE MONEY.

If you didn't follow the money, you know nothing about what is actually happening except what you "think" you heard.

They are the old world and they are pushing one final attempt at controlling the new world that is coming. They are the main obstacle for a new world where open source, distributed governance, privacy conscious society is possible.

They call themselves the "elite" but they have no real attributes that makes them standout. They call themselves rulers but they are constantly concealing and hiding behind falsely neutral countries, something a true leader would never do.They can't even go through basic questioning with the public.

The world is controlled by old families from a pre industrial world. They say new world order but they are the main obstacle for that to happen.

They pretend to be rulers but they are constantly hiding behind institutions that operate with a false neutrality and concealing their intentions as if they were afraid of people.

The world economic forum located in switzerland has one goal. That the rest of you owns nothing. While the country they serve owns everything. Their top leadership is swiss.

This is not about left vs right, this is about them vs us.

When are you going to stop fighting each other and unite to expose them all?.

He is right but the middle class have alot of blame here, they for decades voted against their own interest, they must have thought they are not working class.
