Blessed Vigil of All Saints, Almighty ever-living God, increase our faith, hope and charity, and make us love what you command, so that we may merit what you promise. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever Amen

📉 Tech stocks slide as AI jitters spook investors A deepening sell-off in technology shares is exposing how much of the market's recent record run has been built on faith in AI, and how quickly that faith can wobble when the numbers stop adding up. The S&P 500 fell 1.8% on Friday for its worst day since June, closing out a third straight losing week, WSJ reports. 🔴 Intel plunged almost 29%, its worst single-day drop since 1974, after its profit forecast fell short of expectations. The chipmaker warned it may struggle to generate positive free cash flow next year as AI data center demand pushes up PC prices and its own spending rises 🔴 Alphabet shed 12.6% in its worst day on record, wiping roughly $500 billion off its market value, after reporting that its AI investments were burning through cash faster than expected 🔴 Nvidia, the poster child of the AI boom, dropped 4.2%, briefly ceding its status as the world's most valuable company to Apple 🔴 Amazon fell after disclosing it had spent nearly $95 billion on property and equipment, primarily AI infrastructure, and burned through $42 billion in free cash flow over the past year The common thread is not valuation alone but a growing unease about whether the hundreds of billions being poured into AI infrastructure will ever produce enough profit to justify the spending. As one portfolio manager put it, the market is moving "out of the hopes and dreams phase of the AI trade and into the 'show me' phase." Investors are now demanding evidence that capital expenditure translates into revenue, not just capacity. 👉 The anxiety is sharpened by the political calendar. Tuesday's midterm elections loom, and President Trump has historically treated the stock market as a scoreboard for his own success. Worries about AI are already cutting across party lines, and a market that remains only 3.1% below its all-time high can still become a liability if the slide continues. Outside equities, the cryptocurrency market absorbed its own blow. Hackers drained more than $6 billion from Binance, the world's largest crypto exchange, in what analysts described as the largest cyber theft on record. Blockchain intelligence firms attributed the attack to a North Korean unit, and Bitcoin fell below $77,000 from over $86,000 earlier in the month. Coinbase dropped 10.6% despite beating expectations, as the crypto complex sold off in sympathy. 👍 Substack | Chat | @geopolitics_prime

🔴 New Investigation: The son of an Israeli secret agent, Lyor Cohen is the most important man in hip hop having owned Def Jam music & Roc-A-Fella managing some of the most famous rappers & singers. With inordinate influence over the genre, he has made his views on Israel/Palestine clear, and has used his influence to stamp out what he sees as anti-semitism in the industry. He is now head of YouTube Music, and is working with the U.S. State Department on a new program directly modeled on the CIA’s successful Cold War-era attempts to use American artists to help force through color revolutions in targeted countries.

All Hallows' Eve (October 31) is the vigil, the evening of prayer, fasting, and preparation before All Saints' Day on November 1. The name comes from Old English hallow (holy/saint) and Scots e'en (evening), meaning "the evening before the feast of all the saints." It marks the start of Allhallowtide, a three-day Christian season (Oct 31 – Nov 2) dedicated to remembering the dead: the saints in heaven (All Saints' Day) and all the faithful departed, including those in purgatory (All Souls' Day). The Church's message is one of hope, celebrating Christ's triumph over death and the communion of all believers, living and dead. The date was fixed in the 8th century, when Pope Gregory III dedicated a chapel in St. Peter's Basilica to all the saints, and Pope Gregory IV later extended the observance to the whole Western Church. Painting of Saint John on Patmos, by the Limbourg brothers. The painting Saint John on Patmos (1416) depicts the communion of saints, a Christian theological concept teaching the union of the members of the Church.

🇮🇷 The "Grand Design" to keep the West at the head of the world requires two tools: regime change from below and Herzl's "terrible power of the purse." The June 2025 attack failed to decapitate Iran. Now Netanyahu touts "fresh evidence" of a nuclear component, telling Trump to "finish the job," while pro-Zionist donors threaten to pull funding. Israeli security officials refute the need: "We don't see a need to attack Iran before the elections."

A war to thwart the elections and democracy, not to thwart Iran's nuclear programme. — Udi Evental

Iran understands the Grand Design and prepares for war, not a deal—Rezaei warns US assets, data centres, and AI facilities are within range. Any new attack will land on a Saudi energy system with no slack left—the end of the petrodollar. 🗣 Read more by Alastair Crooke 🌐 More on world politics 🌐 Subscribe 🌐 Join us on VK

Emily Garcia: The Billionaire Classes War on Reproductive Sex and the Grassroots Fightback "A number of these billionaire funders also have financial interests in Artificial Intelligence systems and artificial (assisted) reproduction technologies. Children who are sterilised by having their natural puberty permanently arrested represent a cohort of prospective potential future consumers of artificial reproduction technologies. There is a worldwide push right now to legalise commercial surrogacy, and that’s happening in the UK as well, to enable growth of this multi-billion dollar industry. Like many feminists, I view this as exploitation of the reproductive labour of poor women for the purposes of baby trafficking." https://realleft.substack.com/p/emily-garcia-the-billionaire-classes 📱 ROBINMG

Do you believe that the plasters on her face are due to a "small surgery earlier in the week". I don't. What do you think REALLY happened?

He is definitely as evil as he looks.

UK PM John Major personally vouched that there would be no NATO expansion East of Germany: "NOTHING OF THE SORT WILL HAPPEN" he told the Russians. Here is the evidence: "As late as March 1991, according to the diary of the British ambassador to Moscow, British Prime Minister John Major personally assured Gorbachev, “We are not talking about the strengthening of NATO.” Subsequently, when Soviet defense minister Marshal Dmitri Yazov asked Major about East European leaders’ interest in NATO membership, the British leader responded, “Nothing of the sort will happen." https://nsarchive.gwu.edu/document/16142-document-28-ambassador-rodric-braithwaite-diary

I have really had enough of them, and you?

What is most mind boggling is that the British masses are not even able to even organise a Revolution against this.

⚡️ Russian MFA statement on personal sanctions against executives of British defence companies (October 27, 2026) In response to London’s hostile anti-Russian policy, which includes stepped-up efforts to flood Zelensky’s neo-Nazi clique with weapons, a decision has been taken to add several executives of British defence companies to Russia’s entry ban list. These companies supply the Kiev regime with weapons and military technologies used to strike deep inside Russia. Clearly, the massive supplies of missiles, drones and related technologies to Ukrainian thugs serve a single purpose – to inflict maximum damage on our country. The British narrative of a supposed “defence dividend” for their own military-industrial complex only highlights their purely exploitative and opportunistic approach to Ukraine, whose statehood is being sacrificed, in part, to generate profits for private British companies and their lobbyists. Meanwhile, the funds that Andy Burnham’s government is channelling into military contractors’ projects that bring death and destruction could be put to use in the UK civilian sector, where the crisis is deepening as a result of mistakes by successive British governments that are eroding the country’s social fabric. The ruling Labour party, however, whose Russophobic obsession differs little from that of its Conservative predecessors, apparently has very different budget priorities. ❌ The following British nationals are now barred from entering the Russian Federation: • HEAD, Alex Edward – CEO of Rotron Aerospace, a company participating in the Brakestop long-range missile development project; • OLIVER, Kev – Chief military adviser to Rotron Aerospace; • ZAMBELLAS, George – Chairman of the board of directors of Rotron Aerospace; • GASCOYNE, Robert Michael – CEO of MGI Engineering, a company participating in the Brakestop long-range missile development project; • APPLETON, Neil – Executive director of drone manufacturer Malloy Aeronautics; • WEBB, Paul – Director and co-founder of reconnaissance UAV manufacturer Tekever UK; • CRACKNELL, Julian Frederick Charles – Chief technology and information officer at BAE Systems. ❗️ Work to expand Russia’s stop list in response to the hostile actions of the British authorities will continue.

UK pledges £10 billion in aid to Ukraine British PM Burham told the House of Commons that President Zelensky reacted with joy to new funding, saying: "You have made my day." The package includes £10 billion in economic and military support via loans and export finance guarantees, plus urgent winter military funding. Burnham declared the entire country united in backing Kiev and sent an unambiguous signal to Moscow that Britain will support Ukraine for as long as it takes. @Slavyangrad

How on earth can they find £10 BILLION for Ukraine yet at the same time say there is no more money to help the hard pressed citizens of this country?
