On this day 53 years ago, CIA-backed General Augusto Pinochet overthrew the democratically elected government of socialist Salvador Allende in Chile, leading to the deaths of an estimated 40,018 innocent victims during his 17 year Reign of Terror, including Nobel Prize laureate Pablo Neruda. Ten years prior on 2 Nov 1963, CIA overthrew the notorious Ngo Dinh Diem in Saigon, South Vietnam. Exactly 28 years to the day after the bloody coup d'etat to prevent the nationalization of two enormous US copper mining companies in Chile, CIA-trained mujahadin based in Afghanistan conducted a kamikaze mega-attack on America, resulting in the deaths of 2,977 victims in the World Trade Center in NYC, the Pentagon, and a crash site in Pennsylvania.

Following the fall of the Third Reich, US Army General Dwight D. Eisenhower and US Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau Jr instituted a plan to De-Nazify the massive German industrial base. But the efforts of their ardent investigators, auditors, and analysts were stifled, halted, and blunted every step of the way. Opposed by Wall Street, US banks, corporations, and the oligarchs, as well as US Army General George S. Patton, the vast post-war German industrial base remained basically intact and rebuilt as a bulwark against Soviet Russia and a source of steady future profits for American and West German elites.
"The Fraternity" fought this plan tooth-and-nail.Read more
John Malkovich has canceled a planned performance in Israel after promoters circulated a quote attributed to the American actor that he said was completely false. A recent press release quoted Malkovich as saying: "I am thrilled to return to Israel and am looking forward to meeting the warm Israeli audience once again, to whom I feel a strong closeness and solidarity." The quote appeared in some Israeli and U.S. media outlets. Malkovich told The Hollywood Reporter that he "never made the statements that were quoted, nor was I consulted before they were printed." "I did not utter these phrases, and they most certainly are not approved by me, nor do they reflect my feelings," he said. "For this reason, I have decided I cannot participate in the Tel Aviv performance." Read more
In an affront to creeps everywhere, Meta has started remotely bricking the smart glasses of wearers who try to secretly record other people. Earlier this month, the Mark Zuckerberg-led company said it would crack down on customers who modified the spectacles to disable or cover up their lights that indicate when they're recording, amid incredible public backlash against how the glasses are being used to film people without their consent " girls and women especially " and harass them.

The American military's underwater drone that Iran claimed to capture near the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday was an older Anduril Dive-LD model that was "defective and malfunctioning well before" the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced its so-called seizure, according to a source at U.S. Central Command. "The drone was essentially dead in the water for more than a day," Centcom spokesperson Navy Capt. Tim Hawkins told DefenseScoop. Hawkins discussed the command's early recap of the incident, after news reports surfaced from Iran's state media depicting an Anduril-branded unmanned undersea vessel that was allegedly caught by the IRGC Navy in waters around the entrance to the highly-contested strait.
American forces struck multiple Iranian tankers tied to the IRGC on Tuesday night, a US official told Al Arabiya English. The attacks were in response to more attempted missile attacks on a US Navy warship, the official added. Read more
