There’s way too much going on right now for me to really focus on any one country this week. The aftermath of the fall of the Nepal government has, somewhat surprisingly, reverberated around the world, and not only in countries that are enemies to the West as you’d expect; for example, Morocco’s government battle fiercely with Egypt’s and Jordan’s to be first in line to lick the dogshit off the boots of Zionists, and yet Morocco is currently embroiled in a large protest wave based primarily around a youth unemployment crisis (though their population is also remarkably pro-Palestinian, which generates additional friction). We’re also seeing similar protests in Madagascar, Peru, and Paraguay, and perhaps more will come. I’m personally fairly doubtful in the potential for meaningful economic results from these protests (the current imperialist system seems too deeply embedded for a movement that isn’t explicitly communist and anti-imperialist to alter conditions), but it is quite possible for new political results at least.
Outside of the developing world, it appears that the unpopularity of western leaders, such as in the UK, France, and Italy, is creating new levels of unrest. In Britain, the political system has become so utterly moribund that even the artificial democracy of a two-party system (more-or-less; the Lib Dems do exist I suppose) no longer suffices, with both Conservatives and Labour gradually sinking. The Reform party appears like it may become the new standard-bearer of the capitalists and petit-bourgeois - that is, the historical wellspring of fascism - and the Left Party (whatever name they eventually choose) may or may not rise to meet the occasion. In France, they’re on their fifth Prime Minister in two years, after Lecornu lasted about a month, attempting the liberal classic: promising change, and then appointing the exact same people who have ruled for the last few decades. And pro-Palestinian protests and general strikes have erupted in Italy, in defiance of their rightwing government under Meloni.
While there’s plenty of other events (e.g. continuing aggression against Venezuela that might soon erupt into a war) it would be remise of me not to mention the very much ongoing events vis-a-vis Palestine and a potential peace deal there, seemingly supported to some degree by Trump. It could be legitimate, and it could be some big act (very likely the latter, IMO). Both Trump and Netanyahu seem to believe that they’re very talented political masterminds, producing manoeuvres and feints that would make Machiavelli blush. Nothing could be further from the truth, and I trust the militant organizations inside Palestine to outplay these American failsons. Hamas and similar groups are not nearly as gullible as the Iranian reformist faction - though few people are!

The Zionist Entity's Genocide of Palestine

Russia-Ukraine Conflict
Examples of Ukrainian Nazis and fascists
Examples of racism/euro-centrism during the Russia-Ukraine conflict
Sources:
Defense Politics Asia’s youtube channel and their map. Their youtube channel has substantially diminished in quality but the map is still useful.
Moon of Alabama, which tends to have interesting analysis. Avoid the comment section.
Understanding War and the Saker: reactionary sources that have occasional insights on the war.
Alexander Mercouris, who does daily videos on the conflict. While he is a reactionary and surrounds himself with likeminded people, his daily update videos are relatively brainworm-free and good if you don’t want to follow Russian telegram channels to get news. He also co-hosts The Duran, which is more explicitly conservative, racist, sexist, transphobic, anti-communist, etc when guests are invited on, but is just about tolerable when it’s just the two of them if you want a little more analysis.
Simplicius, who publishes on Substack. Like others, his political analysis should be soundly ignored, but his knowledge of weaponry and military strategy is generally quite good.
On the ground: Patrick Lancaster, an independent and very good journalist reporting in the warzone on the separatists’ side.
Unedited videos of Russian/Ukrainian press conferences and speeches.

Does daily, if rather bland updates on the number of Ukrainians killed, etc. The figures appear to be approximately accurate; if you want, reduce all numbers by 25% as a ‘propaganda tax’, if you don’t believe them. Does not cover everything, for obvious reasons, and virtually never details Russian losses.

A statement from Ansarallah Commander Sayyed Abdul-Malik Badr El-Din al-Houthi, today, October 9, 2025 (emphasis mine):
“Two years of genocide — mass killings with the deadliest means of destruction, including American bombs, incendiary weapons, and others — all targeting civilians in general.
Over two full years of aggression, the “israeli” enemy made forced displacement one of its primary objectives against the Palestinian people in Gaza.
The “israeli” enemy targeted Gaza’s mosques — over 1,000 of them — as well as 95% of schools, completely halting education. Even cemeteries were bombed — more than 40 of them — and over 2,000 bodies were stolen.
It targeted journalists, humanitarian workers, and civil defense members, and it targeted everyone in Gaza with unmatched brutality and savagery. Every form of crime committed in Gaza stands as evidence of the horrific cruelty of the enemy — including setting attack dogs upon the elderly and the sick.
The “israeli” enemy tortured detainees and prisoners, leading in many cases to martyrdom.
The Operation Al-Aqsa Flood was a great, blessed, and significant event — a pivotal moment and a major turning point in the Palestinian people’s jihad over past decades. The operation had its context — it was not launched by the Palestinian people or their fighters to create a new problem with “israel”. The context of the Al-Aqsa Flood stems from seventy-five years of zionist Jewish crimes targeting the Palestinian people.
The entire “israeli” presence in Palestine is one of aggression, crime, occupation, and daily oppression — a usurpation and confiscation of rights. Prior to the Al-Aqsa Flood, the enemy’s efforts to liquidate the Palestinian cause had escalated, believing the time had come to finalize it.
The most dangerous part of the plan to liquidate the Palestinian cause has been the push to involve Arab regimes, as seen in the so-called “Deal of the Century.” Under the guise of “reshaping the Middle East,” they attempt to recruit regional regimes against their own nations.
The liquidation of the Palestinian cause was most clearly demonstrated over the past two years, as some Arab regimes refused even to sever diplomatic ties with the “israeli” enemy.
We will remain in a state of full alertness and readiness, with precise and careful monitoring regarding the implementation phase of the agreement. What we hope for is an end to the genocide against the Palestinian people and for the enemy to commit to a ceasefire — this was originally our objective in providing support. It must be understood that what occurred was a single round, and that the enemies continue with their schemes, conspiracies, and ambitions, which follow multiple tracks.
After every round the “israeli” enemy has prepared for a new aggression; therefore, even if a ceasefire is achieved, we are always concerned with preparing for the coming rounds as part of the aggressive orientation of this Ummah’s enemies.
In the face of the enemies’ attempts to impose acceptance of a total permissiveness equation, our equation must be liberation from them, driving out their evil, and expelling them from the region.
The equation of freeing ourselves from the enemies and expelling them from the region achieves security for our Ummah, full independence, deterrence and protection from tyranny, and the recovery of Palestine and the holy sites.
Regarding the agreement, if the result is achieved, then so much the better — that is what we hope for — otherwise we will continue our path of support and backing.
We are on continuous watch during these days, with ongoing follow-up and full coordination with our Palestinian brothers, at the Axis level, and with the free people of the world.“
