Appeals court magistrate who acquitted former president Alvaro Uribe under scrutiny
Journalist Cecilia Orozco pointed out on Wednesday that Merchan’s credibility came under question in 2017 already, because of a similarly controversial decision. This decision involved former Magistrate Alcibiades Bautista of the Villavicencio Appeals Court, who the Supreme Court convicted for bribery and abuse of power in March of this year.

Miami Herald says US ready to strike Venezuela
Trump has reportedly decided to attack various military targets in Venezuela “at any moment,” escalating a situation that began with an unprecedented military deployment in the Caribbean in August. As per the Miami Herald, the established targets “could be reached by air in a matter of days or even hours,” with the explicit purpose of “decapitating” Venezuelan government leaders, who are accused of being heading a drug cartel and for whose capture there is a reward of up to US$50 million in the case of President Nicolás Maduro.

Several leaders of the MKP, including Ali, have been charged with false cases under the anti-terrorism act of 1997 and put under the proscribed offenders list by the provincial government for their participation in peasant movements. In July of this year, scores of MKP leaders, including Salar Amjad Ali, brother of Faiyaz, were arrested and put behind bars for months after their bails in previous cases were arbitrarily revoked.

French lawmakers reject wealth tax on ultra-rich
French lawmakers shot down proposals to levy a wealth tax on the ultra-rich demanded by the Left and on Friday backed instead a diluted government plan to tax assets kept in holding companies. Eager to calm Socialist lawmakers furious over the rejection of the wealth tax, Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu said the government would not oppose lifting a freeze on pensions and welfare benefits in his 2026 budget.

Israel and UAE influencers target Sudan army online as RSF massacres el-Fasher
As many came out on social media to criticise the United Arab Emirates (UAE), whose support for the RSF is well-documented, influencers from the UAE have responded by going after the SAF. Notably, Israeli accounts, including the country’s official Arabic language account, have also joined in. Amjad Taha, an Emirati analyst who often appears on western media, has led the charge to link the SAF to the Muslim Brotherhood and to Hamas in Gaza.

UN approves resolution supporting Morocco’s claim to Western Sahara
The resolution refers to Morocco’s plan as a basis for negotiation. As with similar resolutions in previous years, the text makes no mention of a referendum on self-determination that includes independence as an option, which is the solution long favoured by the pro-independence Polisario Front and its allies, including Algeria, Russia and China.

Tanzania’s election fraud triggers mass protests with army deployed
The vote for president, the 400-seat parliament, and lawmakers of the semi-autonomous Zanzibar archipelago was stage-managed to guarantee Hassan’s victory. The government ensured that no genuine opposition could compete. Tundu Lissu, leader of the pro-business CHADEMA (Party for Democracy and Progress) was arrested in April on farcical treason charges. He faces the possibility of a death sentence. The other major challenger, Luhaga Mpina of the ACT-Wazalendo party, was disqualified on legal technicalities.

Trump administration ordered to fund SNAP benefits during government shutdown
Roughly 42 million Americans are set to lose their supplemental food benefits Saturday — and it's unclear if Friday's ruling will be enacted fast enough to guarantee recipients get their money in time.

Tennessee officials drop charges against man jailed over Charlie Kirk meme
Whereas many people across the US lost their jobs over social media comments about Kirk’s death, Larry Bushart’s case stood out as one of the few instances where such online speech has led to criminal prosecution. His arrest – on a charge of threatening mass violence at a school – alarmed free speech advocates, who said the Perry county sheriff, Nick Weems, had targeted Bushart because of his political views. Bushart was released on Wednesday after prosecutors sought to dismiss the charge.

The network includes at least four of the nine law firms that reached deals with President Donald Trump earlier this year to contribute hundreds of millions of dollars in free legal work to causes the White House supports, including combating antisemitism.

Sudanese Communist Party: Statement on the Massacres by Rapid Support Forces in Bara and El Fasher
Our Party stands clearly and decisively against the horrifying massacres being committed against civilians in the cities of El Fasher and Bara, as well as in other areas of Kordofan and Darfur; a stance that does not accept ambiguity or justification. The Rapid Support Forces continue to perpetrate systematic violence against unarmed civilians: field executions, arbitrary arrests, looting and destruction of property, mass displacement, and forcing residents to flee… and more, as documented and confirmed by reports from the United Nations, human rights organizations, and the media. This hellish, systematic violence is the result of all the wars our country has endured, marked by barbarity and the failure to bring perpetrators to justice. Impunity has never been an exception; rather, it is a central reason for the recurrence of these crimes. The ongoing absence of accountability has recreated an environment that allows the return of war crimes and genocide against the populations of cities and villages as soon as the regime's forces retreat, as seen in Bara and El Fasher.

Jeffrey Epstein and the Mossad: How The Sex-Trafficker Helped Israel Build a Backchannel to Russia Amid Syrian Civil War
Despite securing a sit-down with Putin in the summer of 2013, they did not succeed in convincing Russia to support Assad’s ouster, but their negotiations set the stage for U.S.-Russia cooperation on disarmament of Syria’s chemical weapons arsenal a few months later. Michael Oren, former Israeli ambassador to the U.S., wrote in his memoir that Israel’s diplomatic leadership was told to “avoid being perceived as a player” in Syria. Clandestine actors sought to shape agendas in Moscow and Washington, while Israeli officials denied involvement and used the media to legitimize “red lines” for air strikes inside Syria. After their failed attempt to remove Assad, Barak and Epstein sought to leverage the Russian channel again in 2015, as Barak pushed for U.S. strikes on Iran and rejected Obama’s nuclear deal framework. Barak failed to convince the Obama administration to change course. The plot, nevertheless, illustrated Epstein’s knack for steering the superpowers toward Israel’s interests by leveraging a social network that intersected the Israeli, American, and Russian intelligence communities. The leaked emails come from the same archive previously reported by Drop Site—materials released by the hackers known as Handala and disseminated by Distributed Denial of Secrets. The emails include extensive, previously unpublished documents and photographs from Barak’s inner circle including non-public information verified as accurate by Drop Site. Many documents from the Handala hack were independently validated by records released by the U.S. House Oversight Committee this month. Our ongoing series reveals how Epstein used elite networks and quasi-official institutions to promote Israeli security interests and enrich his circle of friends and companions. This story follows the same pattern, with the highest of stakes: a chaotic war on Israel’s ever-expanding border, and the balance of power between the United States and Russia. Barak did not respond to a request for comment. Epstein died in jail in New York during the first Trump administration. Barak did not respond to a request for comment. Epstein died in jail in New York during the first Trump administration. The news outlet The (b)(7)(D) previously reported on some of the correspondence.

Max Stirner: The Ego and Its Own
The realm of spirits is monstrously great, there is an infinite deal of the spiritual; yet let us look and see what the spirit, this bequest of the ancients, properly is. Out of their birth-pangs it came forth, but they themselves could not utter themselves as spirit; they could give birth to it, it itself must speak. The “born God, the Son of Man,” is the first to utter the word that the spirit, he, God, has to do with nothing earthly and no earthly relationship, but solely ,with the spirit and spiritual relationships. Is my courage, indestructible under all the world’s blows, my inflexibility and my obduracy, perchance already spirit in the full sense, because the world cannot touch it? Why, then it would not yet be at enmity with the world, and all its action would consist merely in not succumbing to the world! No, so long as it does not busy itself with itself alone, so long as it does not have to do with its world, the spiritual, alone, it is not free spirit, but only the “spirit of this world,” the spirit fettered to it. The spirit is free spirit, that is, really spirit, only in a world of its own; in “this,” the earthly world, it is a stranger. Only through a spiritual world is the spirit really spirit, for “this” world does not understand it and does not know how to keep “the maiden from a foreign land” from departing. But where is it to get this spiritual world? Where but out of itself? It must reveal itself; and the words that it speaks, ;the revelations in which it unveils itself, these are its world. As a visionary lives and has his world only in the visionary pictures that he himself creates, as a crazy man generates for himself his own dream-world, without which he could not be crazy, so the spirit must create for itself its spirit world, and is not spirit until it creates it. Thus its creations make it spirit, and by its creatures we know it, the creator; in them it lives, they are its world. Now, what is the spirit? It is the creator of a spiritual world! Even in you and me people do not recognize spirit until they see that we have appropriated to ourselves something spiritual; though thoughts may have been set before us, we have at least brought them to live in ourselves; for, as long as we were children, the most edifying thoughts might have been laid before us without our wishing, or being able, to reproduce them in ourselves. So the spirit also exists only when it creates something spiritual; it is real only together with the spiritual, its creature. As, then, we know it by its works, the question is what these works are. But the works or children of the spirit are nothing else but – spirits.
