BUCKLE UP: National Security Officials Secretly Preparing for Post-Election “Contingencies”
Oct 22, 2026 | A group of former and current national security officials are secretly meeting with unnamed lawmakers in unnamed states about what they can do if Trump tries to “nullify” votes or intimidate voters with his ICE gestapo in November’s election.
The revelation of these meetings by The Washington Post is an indication that at least some national security officials are treating Trump like a threat to national security—and for good reason.
In this video we’ll talk about what might happen if Trump tries to go full dictator should the midterm elections not go his way.

Anthony Scaramucci Exposes Chaos Inside Trump World
Des cortèges calmes, moins de casse, des heurts contenus… Une nouvelle journée de mobilisation sous haute surveillance partout en France
LE FIGARO : REPORTAGE - Une semaine après les scènes de chaos du 17 octobre, les manifestations contre la vie chère se sont déroulées dans un calme relatif ce samedi. Malgré des affrontements en fin de cortège dans plusieurs grandes villes, les forces de l’ordre sont parvenues à limiter les pillages et les dégradations.
La journée du 24 octobre « n’a rien à voir avec la semaine dernière ». Sans cacher son soulagement, le ministre de l’Intérieur Laurent Nuñez a pris la parole samedi en début de soirée, à l’issue de cette nouvelle journée de mobilisation, pour dresser un bilan de la situation. Après les manifestations du 17 octobre qui ont viré au chaos, le gouvernement, sous haute pression, redoutait de nouveaux affrontements avec les casseurs et de nouveaux pillages. Pour éviter le fiasco, l’État a déployé un dispositif de sécurité bien plus musclé, avec plus d’hommes prépositionnés dans les rues, ainsi que des « contrôles de flux » et des « fouilles » dans les gares et les axes routiers en amont des manifestations. Ces opérations ont permis aux forces de l’ordre de saisir un grand nombre « d’armes par destination » dans les mains d’individus animés par « une volonté de nuire », a expliqué Laurent Nuñez. » | Par Adrien Bez (Paris), Justin Boche (Lyon) Simon Cherner (Nantes), Nicolas Farmine (Marseille), Martin Hézode (Paris), Clara Hidalgo, Jacques Paugam (Nice), Simon Pierre (Bordeaux) | Publié : samedi 24 octobre 2026.

Stalin Wasn’t So Bad, Was He?
Sept 12, 2026 | More than 70 years after his death, Joseph Stalin is making a remarkable comeback in Putin’s Russia. Across the country, new monuments are being erected, while Soviet-era memorials are being restored and put back on display. At the same time, public opinion polls show growing approval of the dictator who ruled the Soviet Union through fear, repression, and terror.
During Stalin's rule, millions of people were imprisoned, deported or executed. Yet today, he is increasingly portrayed not as a tyrant but as a strong leader who transformed the Soviet Union into a global superpower and led it to victory in World War II.
Why is Stalin being rehabilitated in today's Russia? And what does his return to public life reveal about the Kremlin's view of history, power and national identity?

Berlin, 1933: Hitler’s Rise Through the Eyes of Diplomats I Pure WW2 | Reupload
On January 30, 1933, Adolf Hitler was appointed Chancellor of Germany. Within weeks, the Nazi regime began transforming the state from within. While the world watched with curiosity and uncertainty, foreign diplomats stationed in Berlin witnessed the rise of National Socialism firsthand. Through private reports, personal notebooks and confidential communications, these diplomats tried to understand the rapidly changing political landscape. They observed how the Nazis seized control of institutions while carefully navigating elite social circles that still included aristocrats and influential figures.High-society receptions became strange stages where Nazi leaders such as Hermann Göring, Rudolf Diels and Ernst Hanfstaengel mingled with diplomats and journalists. Behind the elegance of Berlin’s salons, however, the signs of persecution and dictatorship were already emerging.

En Albanie, des milliers de manifestants contre la corruption et une pluie de lacrymogènes
LE FIGARO : Ces manifestants sont rassemblés ce samedi à Tirana, la capitale du pays, pour dénoncer les mauvaises conditions d’études et la corruption. Ils appellent à la démission du premier ministre Edi Rama.
Masques chirurgicaux sur le visage et slogans appelant à la démission du premier ministre albanais Edi Rama, plusieurs milliers de manifestants, jeunes femmes en tête, sont rassemblés samedi à Tirana pour dénoncer les mauvaises conditions d'études et la corruption. « On est là pour une seule raison : on ne veut pas construire nos rêves ailleurs », résume Rosela Mira, en première année de médecine dans la capitale albanaise. « Je souhaite avoir un avenir ici ». Sa sœur lycéenne décrit des conditions d'éducation dégradées, avec « 40 élèves par classe ». Comme elles, d'autres étudiants et lycéens ont rejoint la contestation mi-octobre à la faveur de la rentrée, semblant donner un nouvel élan au mouvement en cours depuis plus de 130 jours.
Alors qu'il est resté pacifique pendant des mois, des violences ont émaillé les manifestations depuis mi-octobre. Samedi, à peine une demi-heure après le début du rassemblement à 14h (12h GMT) devant le ministère de l'Éducation, un petit groupe de manifestants a jeté des pavés sur l'édifice, a constaté une journaliste de l'AFP. Les forces de l'ordre ont activé des canons à eau, lancé des gaz lacrymogènes et des balles en caoutchouc. La police anti-émeute et une unité d'intervention spéciale ont été déployées aux abords de bâtiments officiels. » | Par Le Figaro avec AFP | Samedi 24 octobre 2026

Arabie saoudite : un missile balistique lancé en direction de Ryad intercepté
La coalition menée par Riyad qui combat les Houthis au Yémen a annoncé samedi avoir intercepté deux missiles balistiques visant les villes de Taïf et Yanbu, dans l’ouest du royaume, tirés par ce mouvement pro-iranien, qui multiplie les attaques contre le territoire saoudien.
Plus tôt dans la matinée, la coalition avait indiqué avoir intercepté un missile balistique houthi lancé vers Riyad, où un journaliste de l’AFP a entendu deux explosions. « Interception et destruction de deux missiles balistiques lancés par la milice terroriste houthie en direction des villes de Taïf et Yanbu », un terminal pétrolier majeur sur la mer Rouge, a écrit sur X le porte-parole de la coalition, Turki al-Malki. La Défense civile saoudienne avait auparavant émis, avant de les lever rapidement, quatre alertes de « danger potentiel » pour ces deux régions, ainsi que pour celles de La Mecque, ville sainte de l’islam, et de Jeddah. « Les défenses aériennes ont intercepté et détruit un missile balistique lancé par la milice terroriste houthie en direction de Riyad », avait écrit plus tôt Turki al-Malki sur X. » | Par Le Figaro avec AFP | samedi 23 octobre 2026

Iran in ‘Advanced Stages’ of Planning Attacks Against Americans, Officials Say
THE NEW YORK TIMES: The U.S. government has ordered diplomats and other federal employees to leave Saudi Arabia. It is also drawing down staff at other missions in the region.

The U.S. government has put employees on heightened alert across the Middle East and moved to reduce personnel levels at embassies and consulates because of intelligence showing Iran is in the advanced stages of planning attacks against Americans, U.S. officials said on Friday.
Intelligence officials raised alarms to Secretary of State Marco Rubio in a memo on Friday that warned about the dangers to State Department employees in the Middle East and other regions, the officials said.
The memo, from Jay Clayton, the director of national intelligence, said that agencies had “received intelligence that Iran has substantially increased efforts to target U.S. personnel. The lethal plotting efforts by the Iranians against U.S. citizens have reached advanced stages in both the Middle East and certain other countries.”
The Trump administration confirmed the memo on Friday night through a U.S. official. The move demonstrated the seriousness with which the U.S. government is taking the threat, officials said. Axios earlier reported on the memo.
U.S. agencies assess that the threat against Americans in the Middle East and several other countries is at the highest level since the start of the war in February, U.S. officials said. » | Edward Wong, Jonathan Swan and Julian E. Barnes Reporting from Washington | Friday, October 24, 2026

The Bukeleization of Latin America Has Arrived
THE NEW YORK TIMES: Nayib Bukele’s notoriously harsh and wildly popular security crackdown in El Salvador is spawning imitators and remaking the region.

When Flávio Bolsonaro was considering a run for president of Brazil, he flew to one of Latin America’s tiniest nations, looking for ideas. President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador had turned what was once the world’s deadliest country into one of its safest, largely by rounding up tens of thousands of young men and sentencing them to prison in mass trials.
Mr. Bolsonaro, the son of Brazil’s right-wing former president Jair Bolsonaro, was inspired. He announced his campaign a few weeks later, in December, and adopted a platform that called for five new maximum-security prisons, eight-year prison sentences for cellphone thieves and chemical castration for rapists and pedophiles. At a recent rally, he told voters: “I’m starting to think El Salvador isn’t enough.”
He then won the first round of Brazil’s election, and in Sunday’s runoff, he is the favorite to win the presidency. That would make Mr. Bolsonaro the eighth consecutive right-wing president elected in Latin America over the past 18 months, all of whom have praised or adopted Mr. Bukele’s hard-line tactics.
Many of these new leaders are building megaprisons and undermining civil liberties to incarcerate more people, while turning to social media to promote their work and demonize the young men they target.
Mr. Bukele’s influence is clear. The presidents of Colombia, Ecuador and Costa Rica are carrying out crackdowns featured in slickly produced videos resembling his. In Lima, propaganda lines a highway promoting a politician who declares himself the “Peruvian Bukele.” Dozens of Latin American officials have toured Mr. Bukele’s 40,000-capacity prison to try to burnish their crime-fighting credentials. And eight countries have their own maximum-security prisons in the works.
All of this comes with the backing of the most powerful country in the hemisphere. President Trump is one of Mr. Bukele’s biggest fans and has lifted him up as a model for the region.

Liechtenstein Prince’s ‘Surreal’ Abortion Veto Dismays Campaigners

The hereditary prince of Liechtenstein has used his veto for the first time in his reign to quash a bill aimed at bringing abortion laws in line with much of Europe.
The legislation was approved by Liechtenstein’s parliament last month after the presentation of a citizens’ initiative signed by roughly a quarter of the nation’s voters.
The news left campaigners in the principality, home to some of the strictest abortion laws in Europe, reeling. “We’re not really surprised, but still disappointed,” said Tatjana As’Ad, who led the initiative to overhaul the law and who works for the small leftwing party, Free List. “It’s surreal what’s happening right now in 2026 in a state in the middle of Europe.”
The veto would do little to actually prevent abortions from taking place, she said. “Liechtenstein will continue to have a situation where abortions are banned, but we know they’re happening. The veto just means they will continue to take place abroad.” » | Ashifa Kassam European community affairs correspondent | Friday, October 23, 2026

Trump Calls France Unrest a ‘Full-on Revolution’ and Warns Europe to ‘Straighten Out
Oct 21, 2026 | US President Donald Trump criticised European leaders over their refusal to assist Washington in its conflict with Iran, claiming the United States did not need outside help but had been testing its NATO allies. He said Washington was doing well militarily and faced a final decision on how to pursue victory.
Trump then turned to Europe’s immigration policies, warning that France, Germany, and the United Kingdom risked severe instability unless governments tightened border controls and removed people he described as insurrectionists. He also criticised the state of Paris and London, blamed immigration for unrest in France, and urged European leaders to act quickly.
Trump maintained that he wanted to preserve friendly relations with Europe but warned that continued immigration challenges could threaten the continent’s political and social stability.

Meghan Says She Is ‘Distressed’ by Claim Her Father Kept Child Abuse Images
THE NEW YORK TIMES: The Duchess of Sussex said a 2018 letter to royal protection officers informed her decision to keep her children away from Thomas Markle.

Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, said on Friday that she was appalled by allegations surrounding her estranged father, which she said helped explain why she has kept her children away from him.
A British tabloid newspaper reported on Thursday that Thomas Markle was under investigation over claims by his son that he kept child abuse imagery at their shared home in the Philippines. Thomas Markle Jr. told The Sun that he was “horrified” by material he had found and “had no option” but to report his father to the police.
In a statement issued on Friday, the Philippines Department of Justice said that it was investigating the claims. Also on Friday, the Federal Bureau of Investigation in the United States said it would support an investigation by Philippine authorities where appropriate.
“We will also investigate any related allegations of federal violations of U.S. law,” the agency’s press office said in an email.
In an interview published by The Daily Mail on Friday, Mr. Markle said the claims were untrue. “I’m very upset that my son is making these accusations against me. I could never do what I’m being accused of. It’s the worst thing anyone could accuse me of,” he told the paper.

« Chacun est libre d’aimer qui il veut et comme il le souhaite » : en Hongrie, Péter Magyar rétablit les droits des homosexuels
LE FIGARO : DÉCRYPTAGE - La loi sur la « protection de l’enfance », qui amalgamait homosexualité et pédocriminalité sous l’ère Viktor Orbán, va être abrogée par le gouvernement.
Le chef du gouvernement a tenu à ouvrir lui-même la séance parlementaire lundi, pour prononcer un de ses discours vengeurs, sur une thématique qui a été au cœur du bras de fer entre la droite libérale Tisza et la droite nationaliste Fidesz avant les élections : la protection de l’enfance. Le Fidesz en avait fait un prétexte pour jeter l’opprobre ad nauseam sur les homosexuels, assimilés à des pédocriminels, et discréditer le mouvement LGBT… Avant que cela ne devienne son talon d’Achille et ne précipite sa chute, après la révélation de la grâce présidentielle qui avait été accordée au complice d’un pédocriminel.
Lundi au Parlement, il a donc été question d’améliorer les conditions d’accueil des mineurs dans des centres où la violence et la prostitution sont omniprésentes - occasionnant au passage plusieurs scandales qui ont explosé au visage du Fidesz. Mais les débats comportaient un autre enjeu et une autre implication de taille pour les homosexuels et le mouvement militant LGBT : la nouvelle législation préparée par Tisza a été expurgée des passages qui assimilaient l’homosexualité à un danger pour l’enfance.
En effet, à quelques mois d’élections législatives, en juin 2021, le Fidesz, qui jusque-là n’avait pas ciblé les homosexuels, s’était inspiré d’une loi russe pour jouer un coup tactique destiné à mobiliser son électorat et diviser le bloc d’opposition incluant les nationalistes-conservateurs du parti Jobbik. Quelques jours avant de faire adopter une loi sur la « protection de l’enfance », dont l’objectif affiché était de renforcer les sanctions contre les pédocriminels, il avait fait ajouter des mentions interdisant « la promotion de l’homosexualité, du changement d’orientation sexuelle et du changement de sexe », que ce soit à l’école, dans la publicité, les médias et toute production culturelle. En 2022, le Fidesz remportait les élections législatives, mais son référendum sur la « protection de l’enfance », organisé le même jour, échouait lamentablement, faute de quorum. » | Par Albert Kornél, à Budapest | mardi 15 septembre 2026

La Hongrie de Viktor Orbán est en train de mourir. Péter Magyar et son gouvernement éclairé sont en train de l’achever. La Hongrie a la chance de pouvoir compter sur un dirigeant aussi visionnaire et éclairé que Péter Magyar. Sa Hongrie est un phare dans un continent qui s’enfonce toujours plus dans l’obscurité. Vive Péter Magyar ! Vive la Hongrie éclairée de Péter Magyar !

Viktor Orbán’s Hungary is dying. Péter Magyar and his enlightened government are finishing it off. Hungary is fortunate to be able to count on a leader as visionary and enlightened as Péter Magyar. His Hungary is a beacon on a continent that is sinking ever deeper into darkness. Long live Péter Magyar! Long live the enlightened Hungary of Péter Magyar!

Das Ungarn von Viktor Orbán stirbt. Péter Magyar und seine aufgeklärte Regierung versetzen ihm den Todesstoß. Ungarn hat das Glück, auf einen so visionären und aufgeklärten Anführer wie Péter Magyar zählen zu können. Sein Ungarn ist ein Leuchtturm auf einem Kontinent, der immer tiefer in die Dunkelheit versinkt. Es lebe Péter Magyar! Es lebe das aufgeklärte Ungarn von Péter Magyar! — © Mark Alexander
William Hague Declares Trump 'Worst' President of His Lifetime
“You have to go back into the 19th century, Andrew Jackson and people like that, to find a worse president.”
This is the presidency you get when you allow a felon to take charge and lead your country, giving him the keys to the White House, when you should have been turning the key to his cell in a penitentiary to lock him up!
Alas, the powers-that-be lacked the courage to do the right thing. So, the result of all this—if I am not greatly mistaken—will be World War III. Many countries are already preparing for such a bleak scenario.
If war does break out, Trump will be the cause; Trump will be to blame. However, it should not be overlooked that the American electorate will also have to share some of that blame, for being so uncircumspect, reckless, and unwise as to elect such an unqualified man to the highest office in the land!
***
Dies ist die Präsidentschaft, die man erhält, wenn man einem vorbestraften Kriminellen erlaubt, die Führung des Landes zu übernehmen – wenn man ihm also die Schlüssel zum Weißen Haus in die Hand gibt, anstatt den Schlüssel zu seiner Gefängniszelle umzudrehen, um ihn hinter Gitter zu bringen!
Leider fehlte den Verantwortlichen der nötige Mut, das Richtige zu tun. Das Ergebnis all dessen wird – wenn ich mich nicht sehr irre – der Dritte Weltkrieg sein. Viele Länder bereiten sich bereits auf ein solch düsteres Szenario vor.
Sollte es tatsächlich zum Krieg kommen, so wird Trumps mangelhafte Führung die Ursache sein; Trump trägt dann die Schuld. Man darf jedoch nicht übersehen, dass auch die amerikanische Wählerschaft einen Teil dieser Schuld auf sich lädt – dafür, dass sie so unüberlegt, leichtsinnig und unklug war, einen derart unqualifizierten Mann in das höchste Amt des Landes zu wählen!
***
Voilà le genre de présidence que l’on obtient lorsqu’on laisse un criminel prendre les rênes du pays et en assumer la direction — en lui remettant les clés de la Maison-Blanche, alors qu’on aurait dû, au contraire, tourner la clé de sa cellule dans un pénitencier pour l’y enfermer !
Hélas, les dirigeants en place n’ont pas eu le courage nécessaire pour agir comme il se devait. Résultat : si je ne m’abuse, nous risquons fort de nous diriger vers une troisième guerre mondiale. De nombreux pays se préparent d’ores et déjà à un scénario des plus sombres.
Si une guerre venait à éclater, la gouvernance défaillante de Trump en serait la cause ; c’est lui qu’il faudrait blâmer. Cela dit, il ne faut pas oublier que l’électorat américain porte également une part de responsabilité : en faisant preuve d’une telle imprudence, d’une telle légèreté et d’un tel manque de discernement, les électeurs ont porté un homme aussi incompétent à la plus haute fonction du pays ! — © Mark Alexander

Arms Race Intensifies in Korea as the North Is Emboldened by Russia Alliance
THE NEW YORK TIMES: A rare escalation this month exposed the increasingly lethal arsenals the two Koreas are building up across the world’s most heavily fortified border.

An intensifying arms race is gripping the Korean Peninsula, as both sides trade missile tests and North Korea supercharges development of more lethal warheads, attack drones and other new weapons to threaten the South.
North and South Korea have maintained a fierce military rivalry since the Korean War ended in an uneasy armistice, with Pyongyang turning to nuclear weapons after the Soviet bloc collapsed. Now, North Korea is rapidly upgrading its conventional forces with the help of its military partnership with Russia, recently revitalized by the Ukraine war.
In exchange for North Korean arms and soldiers, Russia has given the North a live combat laboratory to test its weapons and troops, refine its missile performance and master drone warfare. The North’s military may soon be able to unleash vast swarms of low-cost drones to overwhelm the more expensive, high-tech defenses of South Korea and the U.S. forces stationed there.
Rising hostility along the inter-Korean border has given an ominous tone to the region’s military buildup. In recent months, North Korea has begun heavily fortifying its border with more powerful weapons and additional barbed-wire fences, concrete barriers and minefields. » | Choe Sang-Hun | Reporting from Seoul | Friday, October 23, 2026

Donald Trump Has Sold Out Ukraine. He Makes Appeaser Chamberlain Look Like a Man of Iron Principle
THE GUARDIAN — OPINION: Europe’s leaders can no longer trust a word that comes out of Washington. No more slaps on the wrist – we need concrete steps to punish Trump

Historical comparisons are always inexact. No one conflict precisely mirrors another. Yet Donald Trump’s shameless appeasement of Vladimir Putin carries more than a noxious whiff of Neville Chamberlain’s failed attempt in Munich in 1938 to head off war with Nazi Germany. To be fair to the former UK prime minister – and history largely hasn’t been – his peacemaking efforts had the enthusiastic backing of most people in Britain and France who, like him, were desperate to avoid a repeat of the horrors of the first world war. Trump enjoys no equivalent public support for his treachery. Nor does he face the prospect of a US war with Russia. His betrayal of Ukraine is cynically self-interested, globally dangerous and utterly contemptible.
US-Russian talks on agreeing the shoddy terms of a precedent-setting American sell-out of Ukraine are at an advanced stage, after meetings in St Petersburg this week. Trump has zigzagged over the war ever since returning to office. Now, panicked by record-low poll ratings, he seems determined to scapegoat Ukraine and force its de facto capitulation. Recent steps – his shocking decision to fund Putin’s war machine by buying Russian diesel, his waiving of tougher sanctions, his mysterious, lethal interruptions in US satellite and intelligence sharing with Kyiv, and his renewed attempt to oust Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy – mark Trump out as the skulking Judas, the craven Brutus of the modern age. He makes Chamberlain look like a man of iron principle. All that’s lacking is an umbrella. » | Simon Tisdall | Thursday, October 22, 2026
Donald Trump reminds me of those fools you inevitably come across from time to time in the journey of life who are convinced of their own superior intelligence and judgment, but when all is said and done, they turn out to be very foolish and devoid of even a modicum of sound judgment.
Donald Trump erinnert mich an jene Narren, denen man im Laufe des Lebens unweigerlich hin und wieder begegnet – Menschen, die von ihrer eigenen überlegenen Intelligenz und Urteilskraft überzeugt sind, sich letztlich aber als überaus töricht und völlig frei von auch nur einem Funken vernünftigen Urteilsvermögens erweisen.
Donald Trump me fait penser à ces imbéciles que l’on croise inévitablement, de temps à autre, au cours de son existence ; des individus convaincus de posséder une intelligence et un discernement supérieurs, mais qui, tout compte fait, se révèlent être d’une grande sottise et totalement dépourvus du moindre bon sens. — © Mark Alexander

Pope Leo XIV will need no further treatment after his surgery for lung cancer, his doctors announced on Wednesday.
The pope’s personal doctor and the surgeon who removed a lower lobe of the pope’s right lung at Gemelli Hospital in Rome on Oct. 13 said in a statement that follow-up tests confirmed that the cancer was localized.
“A subsequent oncology evaluation confirmed that no further treatment is necessary,” the doctors wrote.
The announcement came eight days after the pontiff’s diagnosis was revealed publicly, casting his agenda into uncertainty some 18 months into his papacy. » | Elisabetta Povoledo | Reporting from Rome | Wednesday, October 21, 2026
