Thank you to @carpoftruth@hexbear.net for covering my position as Supreme Dictator of the Goddamn News while I was moving and getting set up in my new home in a top secret Kremlin-funded bunker five hundred feet below the ground. Our regularly scheduled programming returns this week.
On October 9th, Daniel Chapo won the Mozambique general election with about 70% of the vote. Chapo is the head of FRELIMO, the Marxist-Leninist party of Mozambique's liberation, which fought an internal anti-communist resistance called RENAMO which was backed by Rhodesia and apartheid South Africa; Frelimo won in 1975. However, as the USSR fell, Frelimo began to allow elections inside Mozambique, and has ruled the country with significant majorities in each election ever since.
The main opposition party inside Mozambique is Podemos, which is led by Venancio Mondlane, a former member of Renamo and trained inside the USA. He alleges that his polling figures predicted a majority win for him, not Frelimo, and has accused Chapo of electoral fraud. There have been the usual slogans about how they yearn for freedom. The EU, of course, "witnessed irregularities." As @WilsonWilson@hexbear.net has pointed out, Mozambique has massive undeveloped gas fields and is outsourcing the development process to France, Norway, the UK, and the USA, while mysterious Islamist groups have popped up to cause chaos in the exact regions which have the gas, slowing the process of actually developing those gas fields. Overall, it appears to be a cookie-cutter colour revolution attempt by the imperial core designed to install a comprador for cheaper resources. Its proximity to BRICS+ member South Africa may also be significant, noting the colour revolution in Bangladesh earlier this year exerting influence near India and China.
Protestors have been battling against the police and government since late October, resulting in dozens of deaths and injuries as well as massive disruption, as the government has intermittently blocked access to the internet and social media. As of today, calm appears to be returning, with border crossings beginning to reopen.

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.

Schumer: After Amsterdam, ‘rallies like this needed more than ever’
Fucking hilarious. The zionist really are so delusional they hired an entire stadium because they think people support them. They probably have already gone and convinced themselves that there is some good reason no one showed up and that delusional excuse is acctualy proof that they have even more support.
No one wanted to show up to the genocide rally. Shocking
Hard to get bots to show up in person
it is november 13 and stalin saved the world from fascism
Could have saved it a bit harder
As expected, the transphobic Moon of Alabama is the first 'right wing but anti war' website to make the beautiful argument that just because Trump is gonna appoint even bigger warmongerers and neocons than last time, that doesn't mean he'll listen to them. Looking forward to even more copium along the way.
The ministers and eunuchs and queen and knights and bishops and aristocracy and clergy are all bad unlike the king who is good.
You joke but the principle of 'things are fucked, if only we could get the monarch's ear' is quite important historically.
People who thought that were the feudal equivalent of useless libs who constantly get politically outmaneuvered.
What is it about Trump that inspires these parasocial relationships? All these justifications and conspiracy theories, it’s like a neglected child inventing reasons for why their Dad does love them actually
He's the only politician left.
Politics is not about policy wonkery or party loyalty. That's for weirdoes and people in denial. Politics is about passion. It's about wether you'd conceivably sit down with some govnah for a few drinks. It's about wether you trust this person to be your elected monarch. Once you do, you can also trust them to have done their best in your name.
That's the game. Only the vast majority of politicians play towards the lords, whereas people like Bernie and Trump build trust towards the commons. The Dems and the Republicans both have donor classes they are held to, in fact its the exact same class. But the Dems being the party of the upper 10% cannot even pretend to like the commons. The Republicans otoh also hate their base, but Trump is capable of bringing a muslim to the podium to pretend he likes Palestine. Kamala and the Dem operatives wouldn't even hide their disgust.
Since Bernie was disciplined into irrelevance that means Trump is the only politician left in the US.

Thank the lordt
ACLU cheers house vote blocking 9495
WASHINGTON — The House of Representatives blocked H.R. 9495, the Stop Terror-Financing and Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act, 256-145. Because the House of Representatives was attempting to move the bill on suspension it required a two-thirds majority in order to pass. This legislation would have granted the Secretary of Treasury the unilateral power to investigate and effectively shut down any tax-exempt organization — including news outlets, universities, and civil society groups — by stripping them of their tax-exempt status based on an unilateral accusation of wrongdoing.

BREAKING: Trump names Fox News host Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense
I'm guessing this guy is a demonic genocidal freak like the rest of them?
Incredible. What does it say that I find this pick very reassuring. Like, it’s such an incompetent pick to head up defense. This is like Milei selecting one of his dogs to lead defense. The American imperial project is so cooked. And just to clarify it’s real.
A couple quotes I liked:
Co-host of Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends Weekend,”
Dude’s not even on the main stage, he’s been stuck in weekend spot for years (weekend viewership is so much lower, FYI).
Hegseth has served in the military, although he lacks senior military or national security experience.
Lmao.
It mentions he got degrees from Princeton and Harvard which… ok, I mean I know a Princeton grad. Smart enough person but not someone who could manage the geopolitical pitfalls of the role just based on inherent intelligence.
Could be just a public facing figurehead who'll take all the heat while the puppetmasters behind the scenes whip up their terrible schemes, but sounds a little too sophisticated for Trump
“Fox News host Pete Hegseth has said on air that he has not washed his hands for 10 years because "germs are not a real thing".
The US is actually gonna collapse
Death to America
This is the guy who nearly killed someone with an axe on daytime television
That does make him sound qualified for the role
I honestly scrolled up to make sure I didn't accidentally go into the fake news comm
And his name sounds fake
This image should be a emoji
Yep. Can't wait for dems to thank him for his service.
He reportedly persuaded Trump to pardon three American soldiers accused or convicted of war crimes related to the shooting of non-combatants in Iraq. Hegseth, who was a platoon leader at Guantanamo Bay during his military service, defended the treatment of inmates detained there.
This looks like an snl guy
Isn't this the Nazi tattoos guy?
Wasn't this guy a hard apologist for the Nisour Square massacre the US did in Iraq?

Elon Musk, Ramaswamy land Trump admin roles
Trump announced Tuesday that Musk and Ramaswamy would lead his “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE), an initiative meant to “slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures” and restructure federal agencies.

Milei talks with Trump, says US is ‘copying' Argentina's 'model’
*Javier Milei speaks with US president-elect Donald Trump, who reportedly describes Argentine leader as “his favourite president”; La Libertad Avanza leader will travel to Republican’s Florida resort on Thursday to attend CPAC forum. *
President Javier Milei declared Tuesday that the United States is “copying” Argentina’s “model,” just hours before he spoke with US president-elect Donald Trump. Milei, 53, revealed that one of his top ministers has held talks with billionaire tycoon Elon Musk, who may win a place in Trump’s incoming government after strongly backing the former reality TV star’s run for the White House.
Argentina’s President made the remarks just two days before he is due to fly to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida for a event staged by the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC). Milei is expected to meet Trump and Musk while in Florida.
“I understand that it is through lower taxes and not through spurious devaluations that impoverish the population that competitiveness is achieved. In the United States they have already realised this and are copying our model,” Milei said Tuesday at an event organised by the technology company Meta in Buenos Aires.
“In fact, Musk is in talks with [Deregulation & State Transformation Minister] Federico Sturzenegger to see how to deregulate the US economy,” he revealed, referring to his minister in charge of reducing the size of the state. The comments came just hours before Milei spoke with Trump via telephone.
Manuel Adorni, Milei’s spokesperson, revealed in a post on X that the “President of the Nation Javier Milei had a telephone conversation with the president-elect of the United States, Donald Trump.” In his message, the spokesperson revealed details of the 10-minute private call. “You are my favourite president,” Adorni claimed Trump told Milei during their talks.
Trump will 100% impose tariffs on argentinian goods anyways lmao.
Upon learning of Trump's victory last week, Milei congratulated him through messages on Instagram and X. “You know you can count on Argentina to make America great again,”’ he wrote in one of them. Since taking office a year ago, MIlei’s government has embarked upon a fierce austerity campaign, slimming the government, paralysing public works projects, cutting subsidies and laid off more than 30,000 public sector staff on contracts.
Milei spares no praise for both Trump and Musk, the world's richest person and who is expected to wield significant influence in the next US government. By attending the donors' meeting of the conservative CPAC forum at Mar-A-Lago, Milei is snubbing his regional peers and King Felipe VI of Spain, who are meeting on Friday in Ecuador for an Ibero-American Summit. On his return, he will receive French President Emmanuel Macron, who will visit Argentina before participating in the G20 summit on November 18 and 19 in Rio de Janeiro. After the summit, he will host Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni in Buenos Aires.
death to "israel" btw
I'm fully behind America adopting the Milei model. In fact they should enhance it and make it even more Libertarian by abolishing the government.

Bird Flu update from Canada by theguardian
A teenager is in critical condition in a British Columbia children’s hospital, in what is believed to be Canada’s first human case of bird flu.
“This was a healthy teenager prior to this, so no underlying conditions,” said the provincial health officer Bonnie Henry in a news conference on Tuesday.
“It just reminds us that in young people this is a virus that can progress and cause quite severe illness and the deterioration that I mentioned was quite rapid.”
British Columbia health officials said on Saturday the province had detected Canada’s first human case of H5 bird flu in a teenager.
Henry said the province was still identifying the exact strain, but assumes the case is H5N1.
The World Health Organization says H5N1’s risk to humans is low because there is no evidence of human transmission, but the virus has been found in an increasing number of animals including cattle in the United States.
Henry would not disclose the teen’s gender or age but said they had first developed symptoms on 2 November and were tested on 8 November, when they were admitted to hospital. Symptoms included conjunctivitis, fever and coughing.
As of Tuesday they were hospitalized with acute respiratory distress syndrome, she said.
The teen had no farm exposure but had been exposed to dogs, cats and reptiles, Henry said. No infection source had been identified. “That is absolutely an ongoing investigation.”
More severe illness takes place when the virus binds to receptors deep in the lungs, she said.
Public health officials had identified and tested about three dozen contacts and had not found anyone infected with the virus.
There has been no evidence that the disease is easily spread between people. But if that were to happen, a pandemic could unfold, scientists have said.
Earlier in November, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention asked for farm workers exposed to animals with bird flu to be tested for the virus even if they do not have symptoms.
Bird flu has infected nearly 450 dairy farms in 15 US states since March, and the CDC has identified 46 human cases of bird flu since April.
In Canada, British Columbia has identified at least 26 affected premises across the province, Henry said on Tuesday, and numerous wild birds have tested positive. Canada has had no cases reported in dairy cattle and no evidence of bird flu in samples of milk.

From a Vox article titled "Why Ukraine thinks it can still win over Donald Trump":
But Trump has also expressed some grudging admiration for Zelenskyy, a fellow TV star-turned-politician who has demonstrated he knows how to close a deal. “I think Zelenskyy is the greatest salesman in history — every time he comes into the country, he walks away with $60 billion,” Trump said at a rally in September.
That's not admiration Vox, that's a criticism him suckering the US out of billions of dollars.
