9 I will also vex the hearts of many people, when I shall bring thy destruction among the nations, into the countries which thou hast not known.

4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.
5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.
6 For they(False World Church and Dictator and baby murderers by abortion) have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.

Tsunami threat passes following magnitude 6.9 quake off Iwate-A tsunami advisory was issued for Iwate Prefecture on Sunday evening following a strong earthquake. The advisory was later called off, after waves measuring 20 centimeters were recorded in some areas.A tsunami advisory was issued for Iwate Prefecture on Sunday evening following a strong earthquake. The advisory was later called off, after waves measuring 20 centimeters were recorded in some areas. | Japan Meteorological Agency-STAFF REPORT-Nov 9, 2025
A magnitude 6.9 earthquake measuring 4 on Japan's seismic intensity scale struck off the coast of Iwate Prefecture on Sunday evening, triggering tsunami waves of 20 centimeters in some areas and prompting evacuation orders in some municipalities.After the quake, which struck at 5:03 p.m., a tsunami advisory was issued for Iwate Prefecture, warning of the possibility of waves up to 1 meter. That advisory was called off shortly after 8 p.m. The quake was initially reported as magnitude 6.7, with the Japan Meteorological Agency later giving the revised figure.A 20 cm tsunami was observed in Ofunato Port in Iwate at 6:25 p.m., while another 20 cm wave was seen in Kuji Port in Iwate at 5:52 p.m., according to the JMA.The initial quake measured shindo 4 in the city of Morioka and the town of Yahaba in Iwate as well as in the town of Wakuya in neighboring Miyagi Prefecture. As of 8:30 p.m., 11 more quakes had hit the same area, including one measuring magnitude 6.3 and shindo 3.There were no initial reports of injuries or damage following the quake.East Japan Railway said the Tohoku Shinkansen briefly lost power and that operations were temporarily suspended between Sendai and Shin-Aomori stations.Tohoku Electric Power said no abnormalities were reported at its Onagawa nuclear power plant in Miyagi Prefecture.Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi posted a message on her X account asking people to move away from the coast and be on alert for aftershocks and tsunami waves that could hit the area.A JMA official said at a news conference Sunday evening that earthquakes of similar or even stronger intensity could occur in the next few days.
Shindo: Japan's earthquake intensity scale-Bloomberg-Apr 21, 2016
On April 15, the day after the first earthquake struck Kyushu, all of the nation's major newspapers carried the same headline: "Shindo 7 in Kumamoto." No further explanation was needed.When Japan's earthquake-battered populace feels the ground shake, it looks to its TVs and Twitter feeds to check not only the magnitude, but the shindo, or shaking intensity.On every TV channel, digital overlays report the region hit and show waves of numbers rippling away from the epicenter: one area might register as shindo level 3, defined as "felt by most people in that zone," another as level 4 ("most people are startled"). The first magnitude estimates typically come later.A level 7 — the maximum on Japan's earthquake intensity scale — is a panic-inducing event that has been recorded only four times. On each of those occasions people were killed.While the intensity scale may seem baffling to some, by communicating the intensity of the shaking felt in a specific area, it offers a far more immediate indication of the potential for damage than does the magnitude scale.Magnitude, which is the value of the energy released at the source of an earthquake, can be a poor indicator of the impact on the surface: A quake of a large magnitude striking deep underground will do far less damage than a smaller one hitting at a shallow depth."Earthquake waves are attenuated as they propagate," said Prof. Robert Geller, a seismologist at the University of Tokyo. "They don't attenuate much when the quake is only a few kilometers deep, right underneath a populated area." As magnitude is inferred rather than directly measured, he says, there are discrepancies between the magnitude assigned by different agencies — the 1995 Kobe quake that killed more than 6,000 people was a magnitude 6.9 according to the United States Geological Survey, but a magnitude 7.3 according to the Meteorological Agency in Japan. The magnitude scale is logarithmic, indicating a difference in energy release of almost four times between the two readings.Unlike magnitude, shindo is a relative, arbitrary measure of the intensity of the shaking in a specific location. The shindo right above the epicenter will typically be the highest, with the level receding as distance grows from the epicenter.Japan’s intensity scale runs from zero to 7, with levels 5 and 6 confusingly sub-divided into “upper” and “lower.”The Great East Japan Earthquake on March 11, 2011, which spawned the giant tsunami that triggered the Fukushima nuclear disaster, was felt nearly nationwide. The shindo readings ranged from 7 in part of Miyagi Prefecture and upper 5 in parts of Tokyo to a barely perceptible 1 in Kyushu.There have been only four occasions when a level 7 was recorded, data from the Meteorological Agency going back to 1923 show — the March 2011 quake, the Kobe quake in 1995, the 2004 Chuetsu earthquake that killed 46 and derailed a bullet train, and last week in Kumamoto.At level 7, the Meteorological Agency says, it is "impossible to remain standing." People may be "thrown through the air," wooden buildings may fall, and even reinforced concrete walls may collapse.Until 1996, shindo was mostly measured by the agency's staff stationed around the country, who for more than a century reported how strong they felt the shaking and then surveyed the extent of the damage left behind, according to documentation on the agency's website.Now a network of seismographs spans the country, measuring the initial P-waves when an earthquake strikes. Agency computers collate the data and almost instantaneously issue estimates of its size and likely location.This network is crucial to informing Japan's early-warning alert system. When an earthquake of a certain size is detected, warnings are issued to iPhones, TV screens and factory lines. Trains automatically halt, and people are given time to prepare before the more damaging S-waves strike.The warning system has become a source of pride, hailed in government pamphlets as a unique example of national ingenuity."It's useful but not perfect," said Geller, "because it gives warnings that let them stop trains for distant quakes but not for quakes right under the track."In 2013 the agency was forced to apologize after mistakenly warning of an impending magnitude-7.8 quake in the Kansai region that never materialized.

More than a million people evacuate as Super Typhoon Fung-wong threatens the Philippines-The Philippines is still dealing with the devastation wrought by Typhoon Kalmaegi, which left at least 204 people dead.Nov. 9, 2025, 3:10 AM EST / By The Associated Press.
MANILA, Philippines — Super Typhoon Fung-wong, the biggest storm to threaten the Philippines this year, started battering the country's northeastern coast ahead of landfall on Sunday, knocking down power, forcing the evacuation of more than a million people and prompting the defense chief to warn many others to evacuate to safety from high-risk villages before it's too late.Fung-wong, which could cover two-thirds of the Southeast Asian archipelago with its 994-mile-wide rain and wind band, approached from the Pacific while the Philippines was still dealing with the devastation wrought by Typhoon Kalmaegi, which left at least 224 people dead in central island provinces on Tuesday before pummeling Vietnam, where at least five were killed.Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has declared a state of emergency due to the extensive devastation caused by Kalmaegi and the expected calamity from Fung-wong, which is called Uwan in the Philippines.Fung-wong, with winds of up to 115 mph and gusts of up to 143 mph, was spotted by government forecasters before noon Sunday over coastal waters near the town of Pandan in eastern Catanduanes province, where torrential rains and fog have obscured visibility. The typhoon is expected to track northwestward and make landfall on the coast of Aurora or Isabela province later Sunday or early Monday, state forecasters said.Tropical cyclones with sustained winds of 115 mph or higher are categorized in the Philippines as a super typhoon, a designation adopted years ago to underscore the urgency tied to more extreme weather disturbances."The rain and wind were so strong there was nearly zero visibility," Roberto Monterola, a disaster-mitigation officer for Catanduanes, said by telephone, adding there have been no reports of casualties so far in the island province of more than 200,000 people.But despite calls for residents to evacuate from disaster-prone areas Saturday, some still stayed on."Our personnel rescued 14 people who were trapped on the roof of a house engulfed in flood in a low-lying neighborhood," Monterola said. "A father also called in panic, saying the roof of his house was about to be ripped off by the wind. We saved him and four relatives."Over a million people were evacuated from high-risk villages in northeastern provinces, including in Bicol, a coastal region vulnerable to Pacific cyclones and mudflows from Mayon, one of the country's most active volcanoes.Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr., who oversees the country’s disaster response agencies and the military, warned about the potentially catastrophic impact of Fung-wong in televised remarks Saturday. He said the storm could affect a vast expanse of the country, including Cebu, the central province hit hardest by Typhoon Kalmaegi, and metropolitan Manila, the densely populated capital region which is the seat of power and the country’s financial center.More than 30 million people could be exposed to hazards posed by Fung-wong, the Office of Civil Defense said.Teodoro asked people to follow orders by officials to immediately move away from villages and towns prone to flash floods, landslides and coastal tidal surges. “We need to do this because when it’s already raining or the typhoon has hit and flooding has started, it’s hard to rescue people,” Teodoro said.The Philippines has not called for international help following the devastation caused by Kalmaegi but Teodoro said the United States, the country’s longtime treaty ally, and Japan were ready to provide assistance.As Fung-wong approached with its wide band of fierce wind and rain, several eastern towns and villages lost power, Bernardo Rafaelito Alejandro, deputy administrator of the Office of Civil Defense said.Authorities in northern provinces to be hit or sideswiped by Fung-wong preemptively declared the shutdown of schools and most government offices on Monday and Tuesday. At least 325 domestic and 61 international flights have been canceled over the weekend and into Monday, and more than 6,600 commuters and cargo workers were stranded in at least 109 seaports, where the coast guard prohibited ships from venturing into rough seas.Authorities warned of a “high risk of life-threatening and damaging storm surge” of more than nearly 10 feet along the coasts of more than 20 provinces and regions, including metropolitan Manila.The Philippines is battered by about 20 typhoons and storms each year. The country also is often hit by earthquakes and has more than a dozen active volcanoes, making it one of the world’s most disaster-prone countries.
The new face of major hurricanes-Hurricane Melissa followed what has unfortunately become a pattern for major storms: It formed late in the season, intensified rapidly, then stalled near the coast.Oct. 29, 2025, 2:11 PM EDT-By Evan Bush and Denise Chow.
Hurricane Melissa, which made landfall in both Jamaica and Cuba in the last two days, followed what has unfortunately become a familiar pattern for major storms in a warming world.The most catastrophic storms — those with the most intense winds and soaking rains — were once rare, but they are becoming more likely because of climate change. And similarities are emerging among these powerful hurricanes’ behavior and timing, too.Before Melissa hit Jamaica as a Category 5 monster, it churned over especially warm waters — as did other hurricanes over the past decade. This allowed it to strengthen at blistering pace, becoming the most powerful of this year’s Atlantic season and tying the record for strongest landfall ever in the Atlantic.Then the storm slowed to a crawl, giving it more time to dump rain on Jamaica, another hallmark of hurricanes on a warming planet. Melissa’s timing, too, was notable: It formed late in the season — hurricane activity has typically been thought to peak in early September — as ocean heat lingered into the fall.Taken together, this behavior makes Melissa a kind of poster child for the new normal of hurricanes, experts said.“These storms aren’t the same storms as a couple decades ago,” said Shel Winkley, a meteorologist at the nonprofit research group Climate Central.It’s a shift with life-or-death consequences — one that forecasters and officials in storm-prone areas are now watching closely.Intensifying in a hurry-One of Melissa’s most eye-opening characteristics is how remarkably fast it intensified. In just 18 hours, it exploded from a tropical storm into a Category 4 Sunday, before reaching Category 5 strength early Monday.Climate change is increasing the risk of this “rapid intensification” pattern, which the National Hurricane Center defines as an increase in sustained wind speeds of at least 35 mph over 24 hours.In Melissa’s case, Winkley said, unusually warm sea-surface temperatures in the Caribbean and high levels of moisture in the atmosphere caused an “extreme rapid intensification.”“We’ve gotten really good at forecasting and understanding when hurricanes are going to make a big boost in intensity, but with Melissa, it even exceeded the best forecast that we can make for it in terms of wind speed,” he said.Winkley added that the storm passed over Caribbean waters that were 2.5 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than usual — conditions that climate change made up to 700 times more likely.Two-and-a-half degrees Fahrenheit may not sound like a lot when it comes to a giant hurricane, but small temperature differences can really make a big impact,” Winkley said.Many other recent storms have undergone rapid intensification. Last year, Hurricane Milton’s wind speed increased by 90 mph in roughly 25 hours, and in 2022 Hurricane Ian went through two rounds of rapid intensification before making landfall in Florida. The list goes on: Hurricanes Idalia in 2023, Ida in 2021 and Harvey in 2017 all underwent rapid intensification, too.Fewer hurricanes, higher impact-In the past 35 years, the number of hurricanes and tropical cyclones that form annually has been decreasing.“We find that the number of hurricanes globally, including typhoons, has gone down significantly since 1990,” said Phil Klotzbach, an atmospheric scientist who studies hurricanes at Colorado State University.But that overall decrease is largely due to a drop in cyclone activity in the Pacific, Klotzbach said; Atlantic hurricane activity has risen, primarily as a result of a decades-long trend toward La Niña, a seasonal circulation pattern that tends to weaken the high-altitude winds that discourage hurricane formation.“La Niña is good for the Atlantic if you like hurricanes,” Klotzbach said.When hurricanes do develop, they’re more likely to turn into major storms as the seas warm.“We’ve seen an increase of those reaching Category 4 and 5,” Klotzbach said.Melissa was the third Category 5 hurricane this year — the first time in two decades that more than two storms of such power have formed in the same season.Zachary Handlos, an atmospheric scientist at the Georgia Institute of Technology, said that although warmer seas in the future will be more conducive to hurricanes, a warmer atmosphere will force changes to the high-altitude winds that can prevent or destroy hurricanes. These winds could strengthen in some locations and weaken in others, he said: “It’s not a very straightforward answer.”How these trends will play out remains an active area of research and scientific dispute.A longer hurricane season-It’s not lost on experts that the strongest hurricane of the season hit just days before Halloween.“We’re pretty late into the season at this point. Things should be starting to wind down,” said Derrick Herndon, a researcher in the Tropical Cyclone Research Group at the University of Wisconsin.The Caribbean has always been a hotspot for powerful, late-season hurricanes, but they’re becoming even more likely, Klotzbach said — he recently submitted research showing the trend for peer review. At the same time, hurricane data in the era of satellite observations (from 1971 to 2022) suggests that hurricane season is beginning earlier in the year, too.The fall hurricane pattern has been fueled by the long-term trend toward the La Niña pattern, Klotzbach added, which itself is likely the result of a combination of climate change and natural variability.La Niña weakens high-altitude winds at a time when Caribbean waters are still hot, setting the stage for storms in late October and early November, he said: “It loads the dice toward these robust hurricanes.” Hurricane Melissa was exacerbated by warmer-than-usual waters off Jamaica’s southern coast.“If you’re going to get a really intense hurricane in the Atlantic, it’s going to probably be in this part of the world,” Herndon said.In the past, such a storm would typically have churned up cold water from below the surface and stifled its own growth, according to Andy Hazelton, a hurricane modeler and associate scientist with the University of Miami’s Cooperative Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Studies. But this year, ocean heat is elevated both at the surface and as deep as 200 feet below, he said, so Melissa simply churned up more heat and energy.Storms are stalling-Just before or after landfall, hurricanes are now more likely to stall and dump immense amounts of rain, according to a study published last year. Other research suggests their forward speed has gotten slower overall, though this remains a topic of debate.Hurricane Melissa followed the pattern, stalling off the coast of Jamaica as it continued to build intensity. On Tuesday morning, the day of its first landfall, the storm was moving at just around 2 mph. Forecasters expected up to 30 inches of rainfall in parts of Jamaica, which is more than a third of its annual average.Scientists have not reached a consensus about why some storms are moving more slowly, but some have theorized that it’s because climate change has weakened atmospheric circulation patterns.Hurricane Harvey in 2017 was a dramatic example of the consequences of such stalling: When it parked over Houston, the storm dropped about 5 feet of rain in some locations. The pattern is particularly problematic because a warmer atmosphere can absorb and deliver more rainfall.“For every 1 degree Fahrenheit of warming, the atmosphere can hold onto 4% more moisture,” Winkley said. “Warmer oceans not only boost the intensity of hurricanes, but it allows for more evaporation, so it’s putting more of that rain-making moisture into the atmosphere for these hurricanes to absorb and then unleash."Evan Bush is a science reporter for NBC News.

And
here are the bounderies of the land that Israel will inherit either
through war or peace or God in the future. God says its Israels land and
only Israels land. They will have every inch God promised them of this
land in the future.
Egypt east of the Nile River, Saudi Arabia,
Israel, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, The southern part of Turkey and the
Western Half of Iraq west of the Euphrates. Gen 13:14-15, Psm 105:9,11,
Gen 15:18, Exe 23:31, Num 34:1-12, Josh 1:4.ALL THIS LAND ISRAEL WILL
DEFINATELY OWN IN THE FUTURE, ITS ISRAELS NOT ISHMAELS LAND.12 TRIBES
INHERIT LAND IN THE FUTURE.
Joel 3:2-King James Version (YOU
DIVIDE JERUSALEM IN HALF - YOUR POKING GOD IN THE EYE - GOD SAYS AN EYE
FOR AN EYE AND A TOOTH FOR A TOOTH- YOU WANNA DIVIDE JERUSALEM IN HALF
- HALF OF EARTHS POPULATION 4 BILLION DIE ON EARTH.
2 I will also
gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of
Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my
heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted
my land.
HALF OF EARTHS POPULATION DIE DURING THE 7 YR TRIBULATION.(THESE VERSES ARE JUDGEMENT SCRIPTURES NOT RAPTURE SCRIPTURES)
LUKE
17:34-37 (8 TOTAL BILLION - 4 BILLION DEAD IN TRIB = 4 BILLION TO JESUS
KINGDOM) (HALF DIE DURING THE 7 YR TRIBULATION PERIOD JUST LIKE THE
BIBLE SAYS)(GOD DOES NOT LIE)(AND NOTICE MOST DIE IN WAR AND
DISEASES-NOT COMETS-ASTEROIDS-QUAKES OR TSUNAMIS)
34 I tell you, in
that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken,(IN
WW3 JUDGEMENT) and the other shall be left.(half earths population 4
billion die in the 7 yr trib)
35 Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken,(IN WW3 JUDGEMENT) and the other left.
36 Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken,(IN WW3 JUDGEMENT) and the other left.
37
And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto
them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered
together.(Christians have new bodies,this is the people against
Jerusalem during the 7 yr treaty)(Christians bodies are not being eaten
by the birds).THESE ARE JUDGEMENT SCRIPTURES-NOT RAPTURE
SCRIPTURES.BECAUSE NOT HALF OF PEOPLE ON EARTH ARE CHRISTIANS.AND THE
CONTEXT IN LUKE 17 IS THE 7 YEAR TRIBULATION OR 7 YR TREATY PERIOD.WHICH
IS JUDGEMENT ON THE EARTH.NOT 50% RAPTURED TO HEAVEN.
MATTHEW 24:37-42 (THESE ARE JUDGEMENT SCRIPTURES-SURE NOT RAPTURE SCRIPTURES)
37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38
For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and
drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe
entered into the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken,(IN WW3 JUDGEMENT) and the other left.
41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken,(IN WW3 JUDGEMENT) and the other left.
42 Watch therefore:(FOR THE LAST DAYS SIGNS HAPPENING) for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
PSALMS 83:3-7
3 They (ARABS,MUSLIMS) have taken crafty counsel against thy people,(ISRAEL) and consulted against thy hidden ones.
4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
5 For they (MUSLIMS) have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:(TREATIES)

7
Gebal,(HEZZBALLOH,LEBANON) and Ammon,(JORDAN) and
Amalek;(SYRIA,ARABS,SINAI) the Philistines (PALESTINIANS) with the
inhabitants of Tyre;(LEBANON)
JEREMIAH 47:1-7
1 The word of
the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet against the
Philistines,(PALESTINIAN/ARABS) before that Pharaoh smote Gaza.
2
Thus saith the LORD; Behold, waters rise up out of the north,(NORTHERN
TSUNAMI POSSIBLY) and shall be an overflowing flood, and shall overflow
the land, and all that is therein; the city, and them that dwell
therein: then the men shall cry, and all the inhabitants of the land
shall howl.
3 At the noise of the stamping of the hoofs of his
strong horses,(ISRAELS ARMY) at the rushing of his chariots, and at the
rumbling of his wheels, the fathers shall not look back to their
children for feebleness of hands;(ISRAEL POSSIBLY NUKES GAZA)
4
Because of the day that cometh to spoil all the Philistines,(PALESTINIAN
FAKE ARABS) and to cut off from Tyrus and Zidon every helper that
remaineth: for the LORD will spoil the Philistines, the remnant of the
country of Caphtor.
5 Baldness is come upon Gaza;(NUKED POSSIBLY)
Ashkelon is cut off with the remnant of their valley: how long wilt thou
cut thyself?
6 O thou sword of the LORD, how long will it be ere thou be quiet? put up thyself into thy scabbard, rest, and be still.
7
How can it be quiet, seeing the LORD hath given it a charge against
Ashkelon, and against the sea shore? (MEDITTERANEAN SEA) there hath he
appointed it.
RUSSIA,GERMANY, ARAB MUSLIMS COME AGAINST ISRAEL.
EZEKIEL 38:1-23
1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2
Son of man, set thy face against Gog,(RULER) the land of Magog,(RUSSIA)
the chief prince of Meshech (MOSCOW) and Tubal,(TOBOLSK) and prophesy
against him,
3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against
thee, O Gog,(LEADER OF RUSSIA) the chief prince of Meshech(MOSCOW) and
Tubal:TOBOLSK)
4 And I (GOD) will turn thee back, and put hooks into
thy jaws,(GOD FORCES THE RUSSIA-MUSLIMS TO MARCH) and I will bring thee
forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with
all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields,
all of them handling swords:
5 Persia,(IRAN,IRAQ) Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
6
Gomer,(GERMANY) and all his bands; the house of Togarmah (TURKEY) of
the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with
thee.(AFRICAN MUSLIMS,SUDAN,TUNESIA ETC)
7 Be thou prepared, and
prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto
thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8 After many days thou shalt be
visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is
brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against
the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is
brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of
them.
9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a
cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with
thee.(RUSSIA-EGYPT AND MUSLIMS)
10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall
also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy
mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
11 And thou shalt
say,(RUSSIA-ARAB-MUSLIMS) I will go up to the land of unwalled
villages;(ISRAEL) I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely,
all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12
To take a spoil,(OIL IS IN SPOIL) and to take a prey; to turn thine
hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the
people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle
and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.
13 Sheba, and
Dedan,(SAUDI-ARABIA) and the merchants of Tarshish,(SPAIN) with all the
young lions thereof,(ENGLAND,AND ALL ITS ASSOCIATES-CANADA,AUSTRALIA-NEW
ZEALAND, USA, AND WESTERN ENGLISH SPEAKING NATIONS) shall say unto
thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to
take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and
goods, to take a great spoil?(OIL IS IN SPOIL-I BELIEVE THATS WHY
RUSSIA,ARAB/MUSLIMS MARCH TO ISRAEL)
14 Therefore, son of man,
prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In that day when my
people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it?
15 And
thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many
people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a
mighty army:
16 And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel,
as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I
will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I
shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.
17 Thus saith
the Lord GOD; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my
servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many
years that I would bring thee against them?
18 And it shall come to
pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel,
saith the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face.
19 For in
my jealousy and in the fire (atomic bomb) of my wrath have I spoken,
Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;
20
So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the
beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth,
and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my
presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places
shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.
21 And I will
call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord
GOD: every man’s sword shall be against his brother.
22 And I will
plead against him with pestilence (biological,chemical,nuclear) and with
blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many
people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones,
fire, and brimstone.(NUKED,THEN MIGRATING BIRDS EAT RUSSIA/ARAB/MUSLIMS
FLESH)
23 Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I
will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am
the LORD.
EZEKIEL 39:1-29
1 Therefore, thou son of man,
prophesy against Gog,(LEADER OF RUSSIA) and say, Thus saith the Lord
GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech
(MOSCOW) and Tubal: (TUBOLSK)
2 And I will turn thee
back,(RUSSIA-ARAB MUSLIM ISRAEL HATERS) and leave but the sixth part of
thee,(5/6TH OR 300 MILLION DEAD RUSSIAN/ARAB/MUSLIMS I BELIEVE) and will
cause thee to come up from the north parts,(RUSSIA) and will bring thee
upon the mountains of Israel:
3 And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.
4
Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands,(
ARABS) and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the
ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be
devoured.
5 Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
6
And I will send a shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto
Gog (RUSSIA/ARAB/MUSLIMS) a place there of graves in Israel, the valley
of the passengers (EAST OF THE DEAD SEA IN JORDAN VALLEY) on the east
of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there
shall they bury Gog (RUSSIAN) and all his multitude:(ARAB/MUSLIM HORDE)
and they shall call it The valley of Hamongog.(BURIEL SITE OF THE 300
MILLION,RUSSIAN/ARAB/MUSLIMS)
12 And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land.(OF ISRAEL)
13
Yea, all the people of the land (OF ISRAEL) shall bury them; and it
shall be to them a renown the day that I (GOD-JESUS) shall be glorified,
saith the Lord GOD.
14 And they shall sever out men of continual
employment,(NUCLEAR ATOMIC BOMB EXPERTS) passing through the land to
bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of the earth,
to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search.
15
And the passengers that pass through the land, when any seeth a man’s
bone, then shall he set up a sign by it,(WON'T TOUCH IT) till the
buriers have buried it (PROPERLY) in the valley of
Hamongog.(RUSSIA/ARAB/MUSLIMS NEW BURIEL SITE)(EAST OF THE DEAD SEA IN
THE JORDAN VALLEY)
16 And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land.(OF THE ISRAEL-GOD HATERS)
17
And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; Speak unto every
feathered fowl,(500 MILLION MIGRATING BIRDS THREW ISRAEL EVERY
SPRING,FALL) and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and
come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do
sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel,
that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood.(OF THE RUSSIAN/ARAB/MUSLIM
ARMIES)
18 Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood
of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of
bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan.

China's new aircraft carrier enters service in key move to modernise fleet By Peter CATTERALL.
Beijing
(AFP) Nov 7, 2025-China's third aircraft carrier entered service this
week, state media said on Friday, marking a key milestone in President
Xi Jinping's drive to modernise the military.The Fujian joins China's
fleet as Beijing projects its maritime power against the United States
and others in the region, with flashpoints including territorial
disputes in the South China Sea and persisting claims over Taiwan.The
latest aircraft carrier is equipped with an electromagnetic aircraft
launch system (EMALS) -- something that previously only the USS Gerald
R. Ford possessed.The advanced take-off system allows the Chinese air
force to deploy jets carrying larger payloads and more fuel.State news
agency Xinhua said Friday that Xi had "personally decided" that the
Fujian -- which shares the name of the province facing Taiwan -- would
adopt an EMALS system.Beijing does not rule out using force to seize
Taiwan, a democratic, self-ruled island that China claims as part of its
territory.Analysts say China lags behind the United States, which has
11 aircraft carriers in service, in overall military prowess.But Beijing
has directed billions of dollars into defence in recent years, a trend
that has unnerved some governments in East Asia despite China insisting
its aims are peaceful.The navy in particular has seen a massive
expansion as leaders seek to grow China's reach in the Pacific and
challenge a US-led alliance.-- 'Grand and enthusiastic' --The new
carrier's official commissioning took place at a naval port in China's
southern island province of Hainan on Wednesday, Xinhua reported,
describing the atmosphere as "grand and enthusiastic"."After the
ceremony, Xi Jinping boarded the Fujian... and learned about the
development of the aircraft carrier system combat capabilities and the
construction and application of the electromagnetic catapult system," it
said.Xi also went into the carrier's control tower to learn about
flight operations, Xinhua said, adding that he "solemnly signed the
ship's logbook".After conducting sea trials in recent months, the Fujian
now joins China's other two carriers in active operation, the Liaoning
and the Shandong.The Soviet-built Liaoning is the oldest, commissioned
in 2012, while the Shandong entered service in 2019.China's third
carrier is "by many measures more capable than the Liaoning and the
Shandong", Collin Koh, an expert in regional naval affairs at Nanyang
Technological University, told AFP."Overall, compared to the two
preceding carriers which are ski-jump configured, the Fujian has greater
combat persistence and striking power," said Koh.The Fujian had already
been in the spotlight several times leading up to its formal
commissioning.Chinese defence officials confirmed in September that the
Fujian had sailed through the sensitive Taiwan Strait to carry out
"scientific research trials and training missions" in the South China
Sea.Analysts say the transit was likely intended to send a strong signal
to potential adversaries.Defence ministries in Japan and Taiwan said at
the time that they had detected the Fujian's movements, which brought
it within approximately 200 kilometres (125 miles) of the disputed
Senkaku Islands, known in Chinese as the Diaoyu Islands.China also
released videos in September of aircraft takeoffs and landings aboard
the Fujian, including with its fifth-generation J-35 stealth
fighter.State media hailed it as a "new breakthrough" in the development
of Chinese carriers and a "major milestone" in the modernisation of the
navy.
North Korea fires unidentified ballistic missile: Seoul military.
Seoul,
Nov 7 (AFP) Nov 07, 2025-North Korea fired a ballistic missile Friday,
Seoul's military said, around a week after US President Donald Trump
approved South Korea's plan to build a nuclear-powered
submarine.Analysts have said Seoul's plan to construct one of the
atomic-driven vessels would likely draw an aggressive response from
Pyongyang.South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff said North Korea fired an
unidentified ballistic missile towards the East Sea, referring to the
body of water also known as the Sea of Japan.The missile landed in the
sea outside Japan's economic waters and no damage or injuries had been
reported, said Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi.But the Kremlin
defended North Korea's latest launch, saying Pyongyang -- a key ally for
Russia during its Ukraine campaign -- had the "legitimate right" to do
so."We are respectful of the legitimate right of our friends in the DPRK
(North Korea) to ensure their security and take measures for it,"
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.Washington's security
ally Tokyo, meanwhile, said North Korea's ballistic missile launches
have been "absolutely unforgivable".As "evidenced" by North Korea's
provocations, "it's never too early to accelerate efforts to revamp our
defence capabilities," Defence Minister Shinjiro Koizumi said."We will
consider what steps are needed to protect our nation's... peace and the
lives of our people, without ruling out any options."The missile
launched at 12:35 pm (0335 GMT) from an area north of Pyongyang and flew
around 700 kilometres (435 miles), South Korea's military said.North
Korea has significantly increased missile testing in recent years, which
analysts say is aimed at improving precision strike capabilities,
challenging the United States as well as South Korea, and testing
weapons before potentially exporting them to Russia."From North Korea's
perspective, the possibility of sudden attacks from the East Sea will be
a source of anxiety," Ahn Chan-il, a defector-turned-researcher who
runs the World Institute for North Korea Studies, told AFP."If South
Korea acquires a nuclear-powered submarine, they would be able to enter
North Korean waters and preemptively monitor or intercept weapons such
as submarine-launched ballistic missiles."Trump had announced that South
Korea would build the submarine in the United States, but Seoul says it
is considering making it at home.Unlike diesel-powered submarines,
which must regularly surface to recharge their batteries,
nuclear-powered ones can remain submerged for far longer.-
'Irreversible' nuclear state -Analysts say developing a nuclear-powered
submarine would be a significant leap for South Korea.Only the United
States, Australia, China, Russia, India, France and Britain have moved
toward nuclear-powered submarines, according to media and analysis
reports.Since North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's 2019 summit with Trump
collapsed over the scope of denuclearisation and sanctions relief,
Pyongyang has repeatedly declared itself an "irreversible" nuclear
state.Kim has since been emboldened by the war in Ukraine, securing
critical support from Moscow after sending thousands of troops to fight
alongside Russian forces.Pyongyang did not respond to Trump's offer to
meet with Kim last week, and instead its Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui
headed to Moscow, where she and Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed
to strengthen bilateral ties.In September, Kim appeared alongside
Chinese President Xi Jinping and Putin at an elaborate military parade
in Beijing -- a striking display of his new, elevated status in global
politics.Trump met Kim three times during his first term and once
famously said the pair had fallen "in love", but the US leader
ultimately failed to secure a lasting agreement on North Korea's nuclear
programme.South Korean lawmaker Lee Seong-kweun said this week that
Seoul's spy agency believes Kim was still open to talks with Washington,
"and will seek contact when the conditions are in place".Although the
proposed meeting with Trump did not materialise, "multiple signs
suggest" that Pyongyang "had been preparing behind the scenes for
possible talks with the US", said the lawmaker.
What we know about S. Korea's nuclear-powered submarine plans.
Seoul,
Nov 7 (AFP) Nov 07, 2025-South Korea is expected to join a small circle
of countries that operate nuclear-powered submarines after receiving
approval from US President Donald Trump.The South, which is technically
still at war with nuclear-armed North Korea, said it expects to launch
its first nuclear-powered submarine by the mid-to-late 2030s, using its
own technology.AFP takes a look at what we know:What is the deal? Trump
said last week he had approved ally South Korea's plan to build a
nuclear-powered submarine after meeting counterpart Lee Jae Myung on the
sidelines of an APEC summit.Lee's office has said Seoul needed US
approval because of the requirement for nuclear fuel, which is
restricted for military use.The exact scale and cost of the submarine
project are unknown but South Korea has said it will invest $150 billion
in enhancing the US shipbuilding industry.From there, the details start
to become murky.South Korea's promised investment is part of a response
to the tariff blitz Trump launched after his return to the White House
in January and was announced before the submarine approval.Critics argue
that, given remarks that Trump made on his Truth Social platform,
Washington could have pushed Seoul to invest in a shipyard in
Philadelphia in exchange for US support to build the vessel.The two
sides now appear to be hammering out the details.Where will it be built?
Trump said last week that South Korea would build the submarine in
Philadelphia. US nuclear technology is among its most sensitive and
tightly guarded military secrets.He also mentioned a shipyard run by a
South Korean company, although Seoul later said that did not align with
its plans.Some think the idea could still work to South Korea's
advantage."The shipyard, acquired by South Korea's Hanwha Group, has
extensive experience with the US Navy and would offer valuable access to
American design and operational know-how," Choi Il, head of The
Submarine Research Institute, told AFP.However, South Korea's
presidential office said on Friday that Seoul will develop and build the
vessel at home, with US-supplied fuel, and that the discussion between
Trump and Lee was based on that "premise".South Korean Defence Minister
Ahn Gyu-back said the US yard is "currently lacking sufficient
technology, workforce, and facilities". National security adviser Wi
Sung-lac said it "wouldn't be realistic to invest in submarine
facilities" there.Hanwha Ocean has run the Philadelphia shipyard since
last year.How is the submarine different? Nuclear-powered submarines can
remain submerged for months, unlike their diesel-powered predecessors
that must surface regularly to recharge their batteries."Submarines are
designed for stealth infiltration, but those with shorter submergence
times must surface more often, increasing the risk of detection," Hong
Sung-pyo, senior researcher at the Korea Institute for Military Affairs,
told AFP."To conduct challenging or high-level missions, a country
needs advanced intelligence and precision strike capabilities, and
nuclear-powered submarines are one of the most effective tools in that
regard."South Korea and the United States are moving to transfer wartime
operational control of their combined forces to a South Korean
commander with a US deputy, and experts say the submarine will
strengthen Seoul's push for greater military autonomy.Currently,
Washington would command allied troops in the event of war on the Korean
peninsula.Why does South Korea want it? South Korea is protected by the
US nuclear umbrella and there are nearly 30,000 US troops stationed
there.Analysts say developing a nuclear-powered submarine would mark a
significant leap in South Korea's naval and defence industrial base,
allowing it to join a select group of countries with such vessels.Only
the United States, China, Russia, India, France and Britain currently
have them.North Korea has bolstered its military ties with Russia and
has repeatedly declared itself an "irreversible" nuclear power.The
"possibility of sudden attacks from the East Sea will be a source of
anxiety" for Pyongyang, said Ahn Chan-il, a defector-turned-researcher
who runs the World Institute for North Korea Studies."Feeling threatened
by this plan backed by Washington, Pyongyang is likely to respond
aggressively -- and another nuclear test cannot be ruled out," Ahn told
AFP.And the final details? Seoul's Policy Chief Kim Yong-beom said last
week the two sides have nearly "finalised the details of the agreement",
and that a factsheet "combining (tariff and) security matters" would be
released.South Korea has yet to announce a detailed deal on tariffs and
its investment pledge, which totals $350 billion and includes the
shipbuilding pledge, that was agreed in exchange for the cut in US
tariffs to 15 percent.Defence Minister Ahn told a parliamentary hearing
this week "the process appears to have been delayed as various issues,
including nuclear-powered submarines" were worked out.The Presidential
office in Seoul said on Friday a final document could be released
"anytime" if "things go smoothly".
EU eyes tweaks to AI law to heed tech industry 'concerns'.
Brussels,
Belgium, Nov 7 (AFP) Nov 07, 2025-The European Union said Friday it is
considering adjustments to its landmark artificial intelligence law, the
AI Act, after tech firms and several member states raised concerns.The
flagship AI Act entered into force last year but its obligations will
kick in over several years -- with pressure mounting on Brussels to
delay or review some to ease the burden on the industry."We are hearing
concerns from the industry and from our member states," European
Commission digital spokesman Thomas Regnier told reporters.The EU
executive is expected on November 19 to unveil a broader package of
measures to simplify digital legislation and cut red tape, which Regnier
said "would be the appropriate framework to address some of these
concerns"."No decision has been taken at this stage, but a reflection is
of course ongoing," he said.Asked about pressure from the United
States, where industry giants and President Donald Trump's
administration have pushed for softer touch EU tech regulations, Regnier
said the bloc remained committed to enforcing its rules."We are fully
behind the AI Act, and no pressure from anywhere will impact us," he
said.Possible adjustments could include extending implementation
deadlines to give companies more time to comply.Henna Virkkunen, the
commission's digital chief, had already floated the idea of easing
compliance earlier this year, suggesting that some flexibility might be
needed to help businesses adapt.
Brennan, Strzok, Page subpoenaed
as part of federal Russiagate probe: Sources-Law enforcement sources
told Fox News Digital that up to 30 subpoenas related to the probe will
be issued in the coming days-Brooke Singman By Brooke Singman Fox
News-Published November 7, 2025 5:52pm EST-DOJ to take 'Russiagate' case
to a grand jury.Fox News correspondent David Spunt reports on the
latest in the 'Russiagate' investigation on 'Special Report.'
EXCLUSIVE:
A federal grand jury has subpoenaed former CIA Director John Brennan,
former FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, among others as part of
the Justice Department’s investigation into the origins of the
Trump-Russia probe, Fox News Digital has learned.Sources told Fox News
Digital Brennan; Strzok, the FBI’s former deputy assistant director of
counterintelligence; and Page, a former FBI lawyer, were served with
federal subpoenas on Friday.John Brennan on Meet the Press-Law
enforcement sources told Fox News Digital that up to 30 subpoenas will
be issued in the coming days relating to the investigation.The grand
jury is out of the Southern District of Florida. U.S. attorney for the
Southern District of Florida Jason Reding Quiñones is supervising the
probe.Fox News Digital first reported this summer that Brennan was under
criminal investigation. Strzok and Page first came under scrutiny in
2018 when Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz
uncovered a series of anti-Trump text messages between them. Both were
assigned to work on Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team in 2017.Page
served on Mueller’s team on a short detail, returning to the FBI’s
Office of General Counsel in July 2017. Strzok, though, was removed from
the team and was reassigned to the FBI’s Human Resources Division.
Prior to serving in the special counsel’s office, Strzok was a top agent
in the bureau’s counterintelligence division.Strzok is the FBI agent
who, in July 2016, opened the FBI’s initial Russia investigation, which
was nicknamed "Crossfire Hurricane" inside the bureau.Former FBI
officials Peter Strzok, left, and Lisa Page, right, both served on
Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team. Page resigned from the bureau in
May 2018, and Strzok eventually was fired in August 2018.EX-OBAMA INTEL
BOSS WANTED ANTI-TRUMP DOSSIER INCLUDED IN 'ATYPICAL' 2016 ASSESSMENT
DESPITE PUSHBACK-Strzok was fired from the bureau in August 2018 after
months of scrutiny regarding the anti-Trump text messages exchanged
between himself and Page.During congressional testimony in 2018, Strzok
confirmed that he and Page were involved in an extramarital affair.As
for the criminal investigation into Brennan, CIA Director John Ratcliffe
referred evidence of wrongdoing by Brennan to FBI Director Kash Patel
for potential prosecution, DOJ sources told Fox News Digital.Sources, at
the time, said that the referral was received and told Fox News Digital
that a criminal investigation into Brennan was opened and is underway.
DOJ sources declined to provide further details. It is unclear, at this
point, if the investigation spans beyond his alleged false statements to
Congress.Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel-The
Brennan investigation came after Ratcliffe, this summer, declassified a
"lessons learned" review of the creation of the 2017 Intelligence
Community Assessment (ICA). The 2017 ICA alleged Russia sought to
influence the 2016 presidential election to help then-candidate Donald
Trump. But the review found that the process of the ICA's creation was
rushed with "procedural anomalies," and that officials diverted from
intelligence standards. It also determined that the "decision by agency
heads to include the Steele Dossier in the ICA ran counter to
fundamental tradecraft principles and ultimately undermined the
credibility of a key judgment." The dossier — an anti-Trump document
filled with unverified and wholly inaccurate claims that was
commissioned by Fusion GPS and paid for by Democrat presidential
candidate Hillary Clinton's campaign and the DNC — has been widely
discredited. Last week's review marks the first time career CIA
officials have acknowledged politicization of the process by which the
ICA was written, particularly by Obama-era political appointees.Records
declassified as part of that review further revealed that Brennan did,
in fact, push for the dossier to be included in the 2017 ICA.Brennan
testified to the House Judiciary Committee in May 2023, however, that he
did not believe the dossier should be included in that intelligence
product.Ratcliffe was not surprised by the review's findings, a source
familiar told Fox News Digital, given the director's long history of
criticizing Brennan's politicization of intelligence. But Ratcliffe was
compelled to refer aspects of Brennan’s involvement to the FBI for
review of possible criminality, the source said.WHITE HOUSE WANTS OBAMA
INTEL OFFICIALS 'HELD ACCOUNTABLE' FOR ROLE PEDDLING 2016 RUSSIA
HOAX-The source was unable to share the sensitive details of Ratcliffe’s
criminal referral to the FBI with Fox News Digital, but said that
Brennan "violated the public’s trust and should be held accountable for
it."CIA Director John Ratcliffe testifies-The false statements portion
of the probe stems from a newly declassified email sent to Brennan by
the former deputy CIA director in December 2016. That message said that
including the dossier in the ICA in any capacity jeopardized "the
credibility of the entire paper.""Despite these objections, Brennan
showed a preference for narrative consistency over analytical
soundness," the new CIA review states. "When confronted with specific
flaws in the Dossier by the two mission center leaders – one with
extensive operational experience and the other with a strong analytic
background – he appeared more swayed by the Dossier's general conformity
with existing theories than by legitimate tradecraft concerns."Barack
Obama with John Brennan-The review added: "Brennan ultimately formalized
his position in writing, stating that ‘my bottomline is that I believe
that the information warrants inclusion in the report.’"OBAMA ADMIN
'MANUFACTURED' INTELLIGENCE TO CREATE 2016 RUSSIAN ELECTION INTERFERENCE
NARRATIVE, DOCUMENTS SHOW-But Brennan testified the opposite in front
of Congress in May 2023."The CIA was very much opposed to having any
reference or inclusion of the Steele dossier in the Intelligence
Community Assessment," Brennan testified before the House committee,
according to the transcript of his deposition reviewed by Fox News
Digital. "And so they sent over a copy of the dossier to say that this
was going to be separate from the rest of that assessment."CIA officials
at the time of its creation pushed back against the FBI, which sought
to include the dossier, arguing that the dossier should not be included
in the assessment, and casting it as simply "internet rumor."
Ultimately, Steele’s reporting was not included in the body of the final
ICA prepared for then-President Barack Obama, but instead detailed in
this footnote, "largely at the insistence of FBI’s senior leadership,"
according to a review by the Justice Department inspector general, and
later, the Senate Intelligence Committee.Christopher Steele-But back in
June 2020, Ratcliffe, while serving as director of national
intelligence, declassified a footnote of the 2017 ICA, which revealed
that the reporting of Trump dossier author Christopher Steele had only
"limited corroboration" regarding whether then-President-elect Trump
"knowingly worked with Russian officials to bolster his chances of
beating" Hillary Clinton and other claims.FLASHBACK: DNI DECLASSIFIES
BRENNAN NOTES, CIA MEMO ON HILLARY CLINTON 'STIRRING UP' SCANDAL BETWEEN
TRUMP, RUSSIA-The footnote, also known as "Annex A" of the 2017 ICA,
exclusively obtained by Fox News Digital in June 2020, spanned less than
two pages and detailed reporting by Steele, the former British spy who
authored the unverified anti-Trump dossier — a document that helped
serve as the basis for controversial Foreign Intelligence Surveillance
Act (FISA) warrants obtained against former Trump campaign aide Carter
Page.Steele’s reporting, at the time, was commissioned by opposition
research firm Fusion GPS and funded by the Clinton campaign and the
Democratic National Committee (DNC) through law firm Perkins Coie.The
footnote made clear the internal concerns officials had over that
document."An FBI source (Steele) using both identified and unidentified
subsources, volunteered highly politically sensitive information from
the summer to the fall of 2016 on Russian influence efforts aimed at the
US presidential election," the annex read. "We have only limited
corroboration of the source’s reporting in this case and did not use it
to reach the analytic conclusions of the CIA/FBI/NSA assessment.""The
source collected this information on behalf of private clients and was
not compensated for it by the FBI," it continued.But the annex notes
that Steele's reporting was "not developed by the layered subsource
network.""The FBI source caveated that, although similar to previously
provided reporting in terms of content, the source was unable to vouch
for the additional information's sourcing and accuracy," the annex
states. "Hence this information is not included in this product."FBI

Michael Horowitz also reviewed the inclusion of Steele’s reporting in
the ICA during his review of alleged misconduct related to the Foreign
Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISAHis report, released in late 2019,
found that there were "significant inaccuracies and omissions" in FISA
warrants for former Trump campaign aide Page. Those warrants relied
heavily on Steele’s reporting, despite the FBI not having had specific
information corroborating allegations against Page that were included in
Steele’s reporting.Meanwhile, Fox News Digital exclusively reported in
October 2020 that Brennan briefed former President Obama and
administration officials on intelligence that then-Democrat nominee
former Secretary of State Clinton was stirring up a plan to tie Trump to
Russia.Robert Mueller at the Department of Justice-Ratcliffe, as
director of national intelligence, declassified Brennan’s handwritten
notes memorializing that meeting, which were exclusively obtained by Fox
News Digital in October 2020.On July 28, 2016, Brennan briefed Obama on
a plan from one of Clinton's campaign foreign policy advisors "to
vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by
the Russian security service." Comey, then-Vice President Joe Biden,
former Attorney General Loretta Lynch and former Director of National
Intelligence James Clapper were in the Brennan-Obama briefing.FLASHBACK:

counterintelligence investigation into whether candidate Trump and
members of his campaign were colluding or coordinating with Russia to
influence the 2016 campaign. That investigation was referred to inside
the bureau as "Crossfire Hurricane."Former Special Counsel Robert
Mueller was appointed to take over the FBI’s original "Crossfire
Hurricane" investigation. After nearly two years, Mueller’s
investigation, which concluded in March 2019, yielded no evidence of
criminal conspiracy or coordination between the Trump campaign and
Russian officials during the 2016 presidential election.Shortly after,
John Durham was appointed as special counsel to investigate the origins
of the "Crossfire Hurricane" probe.Durham found that the FBI "failed to

Subpoenas Are Coming! The Subpoenas Are Coming! Communications Lawyer-By

is a retired lawyer who represented journalists and news organizations
for more than four decades. Isabella Salomão Nascimento is a senior
associate in Ballard Spahr LLP’s Media & Entertainment Law group.
She began her career as a civil rights attorney with the ACLU of
Minnesota. The authors wish to thank Helen Lampe, a student at American
University’s Washington College of Law, for her substantial
assistance.It’s not like we weren’t warned. “Go to the reporter and ask
him/her” to disclose their confidential sources, Donald Trump wrote in
2023. “If not given the answer, put whoever in jail until the answer is
given. You might add the publisher and editor to the list.”[i]A year
earlier, the once and future president described the consequences he
foresaw for a journalist who went to jail rather than betray a source:
“When the reporter learns that he’s going to be married in two days to a
certain prisoner that’s extremely strong, tough and mean, he will say .
. . ‘You know, I think I’m going to give you the information. Here’s
the leaker. Get me the hell out of here.’”[ii] In late 2024,
President-elect Trump feared that the Senate might vote to join the
House in passing the PRESS Act, sweeping legislation designed to
insulate journalists and news organizations from subpoenas. His
instruction to Senate Republicans was blunt: “KILL THIS BILL.” One of
them, Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR), did just that.[iii] In March, Tulsi
Gabbard, the president’s director of national intelligence, launched
investigations designed to hold “accountable” government officials who
leaked information to the press. In her public announcement, Gabbard
pointed specifically to news reports in the Washington Post and by NBC
News that contained information provided by confidential government
sources about the Iran/Israel conflict and U.S./Russia relations,
respectively.[iv] The following month, Attorney General Pam Bondi
formally scrapped Department of Justice (DOJ) guidelines, put in place
by her predecessor Merrick Garland, that had stripped federal
prosecutors of the power to subpoena journalists in most circumstances.
She did so, she said, to address “growing concerns about federal
government employees intentionally disseminating confidential,
privileged or otherwise protected information to the media.”[v] More
recently, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced a Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI) probe into the source of a leak of a classified
report about the United States’ military strike on Iran’s nuclear
facilities.[vi] “We are declaring a war on leakers,” a senior White
House official said.[vii] So make no mistake—the subpoenas are coming,
most likely from federal grand juries seeking to compel journalists to
reveal their confidential sources of classified or other so-called
national defense information. And make no mistake about something
else—as the president and his FBI director both have made abundantly
clear, the subpoenas will have little to do with protecting national
security and everything to do with intimidating and punishing the press.
The president has made it no secret he views the institutional press as
“the enemy of the people,” and FBI Director Kash Patel has candidly
described his agency’s “mission” as bringing to heel “the most powerful
enemy that the United States had ever seen . . . the mainstream
media.”[viii] What is the press to do? The PRESS Act is dead. The
Garland-era DOJ guidelines are history. State shield laws typically do
not apply to subpoenas issued by federal grand juries. The U.S. Supreme
Court has famously held that the First Amendment offers little solace to
a journalist subpoenaed to appear before a grand jury.[ix] Federal
courts have not exactly warmed to the idea of a common law reporter’s
privilege.[x] In short, there is very little left in the media lawyer’s
toolkit. If you dig deep enough, however, it is not entirely bare. In
Branzburg v. Hayes, the same case in which the Supreme Court found no
First Amendment violation when three journalists were compelled to
testify before grand juries, the Court also held that the First
Amendment does protect a reporter’s right to protect confidential
sources and unpublished work product in one specific circumstance—when a
subpoena is issued “other than in good faith.” Under the First
Amendment, the Court explained, “[o]fficial harassment of the press,
undertaken not for the purposes of law enforcement but to disrupt a
reporter’s relationship with his news sources, would have no
justification.”[xi] There has been precious little judicial explication
of this largely ignored aspect of Branzburg. For media lawyers, the
challenge now is how to breathe life into this “bad faith” exception in
the grand jury context.In this article, we hope to provide a usable
framework for practitioners to do just that. In the first part, we
explore the Court’s decision in Branzburg, the contours of the First
Amendment–based protections it identified, and what guidance can be
gleaned from the lower courts’ admittedly meager assessment of the reach
of those protections.In the second part, we expand the lens to assess
how courts, including the Supreme Court, have addressed the scope of
First Amendment protection against bad faith government action directed
at the press in other contexts.In the third part, the focus shifts to
examining the basic contours of affirmative claims for government
retaliation, and the evidence considered probative of bad faith, in
litigation brought by non-media plaintiffs.In each of these endeavors,
we pay particular attention to two related inquiries: (1) What
substantive standard must the press satisfy to prove government “bad
faith” and (2) How can a subpoenaed journalist or news organization
satisfy that burden? Finally, in the fourth part, we offer a framework
to be used by media lawyers when challenging grand jury subpoenas issued
to their clients “other than in good faith.”Branzburg v. Hayes and Its
Progeny-The Supreme Court-The saga of Branzburg v. Hayes and its
aftermath is well-documented and oft-told. In a case of first
impression, the Supreme Court—by a 5-4 vote with Justice Lewis Powell
writing an “enigmatic” concurring opinion—appeared to hold that
“requiring newsmen to appear and testify before state or federal grand
juries” does not “abridge the freedom of speech and press guaranteed by
the First Amendment.”[xii] In the years that followed, media lawyers
largely succeeded in limiting the holding to the grand jury context,
invoking Justice Powell’s concurrence to convince lower courts to
establish a qualified First Amendment–based reporter’s privilege in
civil and at least some criminal cases.[xiii] For present purposes,
these decisions provide two salient takeaways. First, virtually all of
them relied on Justice Powell’s concurrence to anchor the privilege in
the First Amendment. Second, in the more than 50 years since Branzburg,
the Supreme Court has not taken up a single one of these cases, leaving
its decision in Branzburg as the sole source of binding national
authority about the role of the First Amendment when a grand jury
subpoenas a journalist or news organization.It is, therefore, worth
revisiting what the Supreme Court actually held in Branzburg and how it
might be mobilized by media lawyers in the subpoena battles to come.
Most significantly, the Court—in both Justice Byron White’s opinion for
the majority and in Justice Powell’s concurring opinion—took pains to
emphasize that the First Amendment does provide a measure of protection
unique to journalists and their news organizations.Justice White twice
declared that the First Amendment—apparently, though not explicitly,
through its Press Clause—protects the newsgathering process itself,
including journalists’ ability to provide promises of confidentiality to
their sources. “[W]ithout some protection for seeking out the news,”
Justice White wrote, “freedom of the press would be eviscerated.”[xiv]
His opinion also flatly rejected any suggestion that “news gathering
does not qualify for First Amendment protection.”[xv] Turning to the
contours of that protection, the Court asserted that any “attempt to
require the press to publish its sources of information or
indiscriminately to disclose them on request” would violate the First
Amendment.[xvi] Assessing the subpoenas before the Court, Justice White
emphasized that none involved “a governmental institution that has
abused its proper function” by, for example, “‘probing at will’” or
“forcing wholesale disclosure . . . for a purpose that was not germane
to the determination of whether crime has been committed.”[xvii] At the
opinion’s end, the Court both repeated its admonition that “news
gathering is not without its First Amendment protections” and declared
affirmatively that “grand jury investigations, if instituted or
conducted other than in good faith, would pose wholly different issues
for resolution under the First Amendment.”[xviii] Specifically, Justice
White explained, if a grand jury were to be employed as a governmental
tool for “[o]fficial harassment of the press undertaken not for purposes
of law enforcement, but to disrupt a reporter’s relationship with his
news sources,” the First Amendment would stand in its way.[xix] His
opinion cautioned prosecutors that “[g]rand juries are subject to
judicial control and subpoenas to motions to quash. We do not expect
courts will forget that grand juries must operate within the limits of
the First Amendment as well as the Fifth.”[xx] As for its holding
rejecting the reporters’ First Amendment claims in Branzburg itself, the
Court emphasized that it was limited to their refusal “to answer the
relevant and material questions asked during a good-faith grand jury
investigation.”[xxi] In his separate opinion, Justice Powell explained
that his vote to join the majority was based, in significant part, on
its recognition that “no harassment of newsmen will be tolerated.”[xxii]
The Court, Justice Powell added, “does not hold that newsmen,
subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury, are without constitutional
rights with respect to the gathering of news or in safeguarding their
sources.”[xxiii] To the contrary, he wrote, it would plainly violate the
First Amendment if governmental officials employed a grand jury “to
‘annex’ the news media as ‘an investigative harm of government.’”[xxiv]
Moreover, if a journalist has reason “to believe that his testimony
implicated confidential source relationships without a legitimate need
of law enforcement, he will have access to the court on a motion to
quash.”[xxv] In adjudicating such a motion, Justice Powell emphasized,
the “asserted claim to privilege should be judged on its facts by
striking the proper balance between freedom of the press and the
obligation of all citizens to give relevant testimony with respect to
criminal conduct.”[xxvi] Viewed in this light, Justice Powell’s opinion
assumes a significance materially different from the one it has attained
in grounding a constitutional privilege outside the grand jury context.
For one thing, Justice Powell takes the majority at its word that “news
gathering” conduct, as distinct from the dissemination of “speech,” is
protected by the First Amendment’s guarantee of “freedom of the press.”
For another, if the government usurps a grand jury for improper
purposes, even in those cases in which a reporter possesses “relevant
testimony with respect to criminal conduct,” it remains the duty of the
court to strike “the proper balance” between these competing
interests.In other words, when there is evidence that a grand jury
subpoena has been issued “other than in good faith,” Justice Powell
reads the Court’s opinion to require both a searching judicial inquiry
of the underlying facts and a balancing of the reporter’s right to be
free from “official harassment” against whatever need the grand jury may
have for the reporter’s testimony.Justices White and Powell left two
important questions unaddressed. First, how is a court to “strike the
proper balance” in such cases? Second, what evidence of “bad faith” or
“official harassment” is required to trigger the balancing process and
how can a subpoenaed journalist go about making the requisite showing?
Presumably, neither the Court nor Justice Powell saw the need to provide
answers because, as Justice White noted, none of the reporters before
the Court in Branzburg alleged the government had acted “other than in
good faith.” (Ironically, as one of us has written elsewhere, in the
case of reporter Earl Caldwell, “[t]here is substantial reason to
conclude” that the subpoena he received was issued “other than in good
faith,” not for the purpose of securing relevant grand jury testimony
from him, “but rather to disrupt his relationship” with his sources
within the Black Panther Party.)[xxvii] The Lower Courts-In the 50-odd
years since its decision in Branzburg, the Court’s silence on the
subject of a reporter’s privilege has been met equally with silence from
the lower courts with respect to the “bad faith” exception carved out
by the Court. Although federal and state courts have issued literally
thousands of opinions addressing a journalist’s claim to a
constitutionally rooted privilege in a variety of settings, civil and
criminal, very few have been presented with an argument that a subpoena
should be quashed because the government procured it “other than in good
faith.”Still, a handful of cases have addressed the “bad faith”
exception, albeit more generally. In an early post-Branzburg decision
widely viewed as rejecting any First Amendment–based privilege, the
Sixth Circuit, itself relying on Justice Powell’s concurrence, placed on
lower court judges an affirmative obligation to “make certain that the
proper balance is struck between freedom of the press” and the
legitimate needs of the grand jury.[xxviii] It should do this, the court
explained, by “determining whether the reporter is being harassed in
order to disrupt his relationship with confidential news sources,
whether the grand jury’s investigation is being conducted in good faith,
whether the information sought bears more than a remote and tenuous
relationship to the subject of the investigation, and whether a
legitimate law enforcement need will be served by forced disclosure of
the confidential source relationship.”[xxix] Just as in Branzburg
itself, however, the Sixth Circuit offered no further guidance
concerning how a subpoenaed journalist might make this showing.In Wolf
v. United States,[xxx] the Ninth Circuit declined to quash a grand jury
subpoena issued to a freelance videographer, which sought footage he
recorded at a protest. The videographer invoked the “bad faith”
exception, arguing that it applied because “the burning of a police
car”—the event apparently depicted in his footage—“is not a federal
concern.”[xxxi] In the course of disposing of that contention (on the
ground that the government had cited a specific federal statute as the
basis for its investigation as well as the subpoena in question), the
court nevertheless reiterated that “a limited balancing of First
Amendment interests” would be necessary “‘where a grand jury inquiry is
not conducted in good faith.’”[xxxii For its part, the Second Circuit
has addressed some of the issues raised by an assertion that a grand
jury subpoena was issued in “bad faith,” albeit in the context of a
motion to quash brought not by a reporter but by a source.[xxxiii] In
that case, the court recognized both that a “‘grand jury subpoena is
presumed to have a proper purpose’” and that “the party challenging the
subpoena ‘bears the burden of showing that the grand jury has exceed its
legal powers.’”[xxxiv] To satisfy its burden, the court added, the
subpoenaed party “‘must present ‘particularized proof’ of an improper
purpose.”[xxxv] It appears that, to date, no district court has had
occasion to apply the Branzburg “bad faith” exception. In one case, a
judge supervising a grand jury in the Eastern District of Virginia was
presented with the opportunity to do so. In United States v. Sterling,
investigative journalist James Risen claimed he was subpoenaed to reveal
the identity of a confidential source in retaliation for his reporting
about theGeorge W. Bush administration’s covert warrantless wiretapping
program.[xxxvi] The court declined to consider the claim because it
concluded (erroneously as it turned out) that the First Amendment
protected Risen from compelled unmasking of his confidential sources
even in the absence of bad faith.[xxxvii] When the government appealed
the district court’s identical ruling in connection with its trial
subpoena to Risen, the Fourth Circuit reversed but did not address the
reporter’s bad faith claim.[xxxviii] In its initial decision, however,
the district court appeared to offer, in dicta, a glimpse at the kind
and quantum of evidence that might support a valid bad faith claim.
After summarizing Risen’s own contention that the subpoena had been
issued in retaliation for his articles “that criticized and exposed the
government’s national security practices during a time of war,” the
court noted that he had made a showing that “[m]any officials—including
former President Bush—criticized Risen’s reporting and some threatened
investigations and potential prosecution.”[xxxix] Apparently on its own
initiative, the district court added that reissuance of the subpoena
during the Obama administration did “not remove the specter of
harassment, because we do not know how many of the attorneys and
government officials who sought Risen’s testimony in 2006 are still in
their jobs and to what extent, if any, they advised the new Attorney
General about approving the subpoena.”[xl] In addition, the court
suggested the subpoena’s “sweeping scope”—including its request for a
book proposal Risen had submitted to potential publishers—itself
“provides some support for Risen’s harassment argument.”[xli] “Bad
Faith” Governmental Conduct Against the Press in Other Contexts-Absent
dispositive judicial guidance in the specific context of journalists and
their confidential sources, media lawyers are left to look elsewhere
for useful precedent to reinvigorate Branzburg’s bad faith exception.
Happily, in a variety of other settings, courts—including the Supreme
Court—have found that the First Amendment generally, and its Press
Clause specifically, protects journalists and news organizations from
governmental action taken against them in bad faith.The Supreme
Court-Perhaps the most significant such case, Grosjean v. American
Press,[xlii] arrived at the Supreme Court from Louisiana, where U.S.
Senator (and former Governor) Huey Long had strong-armed the legislature
to impose a punitive tax on the state’s largest newspapers. As it
happened, the newspapers had been overtly critical of Long, who had an
outsized appetite for authoritarian behavior. Of the nine newspapers
subject to the tax, “[a]ll but one” had allegedly “‘ganged up’” on the
senator “and a circular distributed by Long and the Governor to each
member of the state legislature described ‘lying newspapers’ as
conducting ‘a vicious campaign’ and the tax as ‘a tax on lying, 2 cent a
lie.’”[xliii] A unanimous Court held that the statute abridged “the
freedom of the press.”[xliv] In so holding, it explained that the
“predominant purpose” of the First Amendment’s Press Clause “was to
preserve an untrammeled press as a vital source of public
information.”[xlv] The Louisiana statute was “bad,” Justice Sutherland
wrote for the Court, because it was “a deliberate and calculated device
in the guise of a tax to limit the circulation of information to which
the public is entitled.”[xlvi] It violated the First Amendment because a
“free press stands as one of the great interpreters between the
government and the people” and “[t]o allow it to be fettered is to
fetter ourselves.”[xlvii] Within its four corners, the Court’s opinion
in Grosjean is largely silent about the basis for its conclusion that
the Louisiana statute constituted a “deliberate and calculated device in
the guise of a tax to limit the circulation of information to which the
public is entitled.” Judicial explication of that conclusion first
arrived nearly a half-century later in Minneapolis Star v. Minnesota
Commissioner of Revenue.[xlviii] There, Justice Sandra Day O’Connor’s
opinion for the Court provided the description of Senator Long’s and the
Louisiana legislature’s bad faith recited above, while candidly
acknowledging that Grosjean itself “did not describe this
history.”[xlix] Still, Justice O’Connor recognized that its holding was
more than likely “dependent on the improper censorial goals of the
legislature.”[l] In Minneapolis Star, where there was “no legislative
history and no indication, apart from the structure of the tax itself,
of any impermissible or censorial motive,” the Court extended Grosjean
to create a presumption of bad faith whenever a statute singles out the
press for “differential treatment.” “[U]nless justified by some special
characteristic of the press,” Justice O’Connor explained, government
action targeting journalists and news organizations with precision
“suggests that the goal of the regulation is not unrelated to
suppression of expression, and such a goal is presumptively
unconstitutional.”[li] The Lower Courts-Until recently, there has been
scant precedent in the lower courts addressing governmental action taken
against the press in bad faith. In one case, Rossignol v.
Voorhaar,[lii] law enforcement officers allegedly conspired with a
county sheriff and prosecutor to remove the entire press run of a local
newspaper from circulation by buying up every available copy. They
allegedly did so both because the newspaper had been persistently
critical of them and because the confiscated edition contained more of
the same.The Fourth Circuit had little trouble concluding that “[t]he
seizure clearly contravened the most elemental tenets of First Amendment
law.”[liii] Not only had government officials targeted a “newspaper for
suppression and retaliation because they disagreed with its viewpoint
and intended to prevent its message from being disseminated,” but the
“category of speech that defendants suppressed ‘occupies the core of the
protection afforded by the First Amendment.’”[liv] In Media Matters for
America v. Paxton,[lv] a journalistic watchdog that had been critical
of Elon Musk, a political ally of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton,
brought a First Amendment retaliation claim against Paxton after his
office launched an investigation into the nonprofit organization over
its reporting on X (formerly Twitter) and Musk.[lvi] Media Matters also
claimed that, as a result of Paxton’s investigation, its reporting
efforts had been irreparably harmed, and it sought to enjoin the
probe.[lvii] The district court granted a preliminary injunction,
finding Media Matters was likely to succeed on the merits of its
retaliation claim.[lviii] A unanimous panel of the D.C. Circuit
affirmed, noting that the investigation about which Media Matters had
sued transcended just “the chilling effects of the actions taken against
them.”[lix] Rather, the court explained, “they involve concrete and
felt acts of retaliation against a media company and one of its
investigative reporters for having exercised their protected rights of
free speech.”[lx] Against that backdrop, the court set out the
traditional First Amendment retaliation standard (about which we have
more to say below):To prevail on the merits of their First Amendment
retaliation claim, [the plaintiffs] must prove (1) they engaged in
conduct protected under the First Amendment; (2) the defendant took some
retaliatory action sufficient to deter a person of ordinary firmness in
their position from speaking again; and (3) a causal link between the
exercise of a constitutional right and the adverse action taken against
them.[lxi] The unanimous court held that the first element was easily
established—Media Matters “was obviously engaged in conduct protected
under the First Amendment. Indeed, the underlying incident that
precipitated their claim involved their news reporting on a public
figure and alleged political extremism on a popular social media
platform.”[lxii] And, although the court noted that “Paxton ha[d]
forfeited a challenge to the second and third elements by failing to
adequately contest them on appeal,” it did address those elements
elsewhere in its opinion.Rejecting Paxton’s argument that Media Matters’
complaint “should be dismissed because it does not raise a justiciable
claim,”[lxiii] the court held unequivocally the plaintiffs’ “allegation
that they are targets of a retaliatory government investigation is a
claim regarding concrete harm.”[lxiv] In other words, retaliatory
government investigations directed at a media entity can constitute
“retaliatory action sufficient to deter a person of ordinary firmness in
their position from speaking again.” Indeed, the court expressly
concluded that Media Matters had “made this showing.”[lxv] Finally, the
court found there was a causal link between Media Matters’ reporting and
Paxton’s decision to open the investigation. It pointed to (1) his
“Office’s press release establishing that Paxton opened the
investigation in response to Media Matters’ reporting; (2) his
description of Media Matters as a ‘radical anti-free speech’ and
‘radical left-wing organization’; and (3) his encouragement of other
state attorneys general to investigate Media Matters” as “ample evidence
of Paxton’s retaliatory motive.”[lxvi] Notably for our purposes,
without citing to Branzburg, the court in Media Matters offered a clear
(albeit sub silentio) nod to the case, explaining that not every
government investigation into a news organization results in a
cognizable First Amendment retaliation claim. Rather, the key is
“distinguishing between ‘good faith’ and ‘bad faith’ investigations,” as
it is the “bad faith use of investigative techniques” that “abridge[s]
journalists’ First Amendment rights.”[lxvii] As the court
explained:[T]he First Amendment protects information-gathering
activities from official harassment and that official harassment of the
press places a special burden on information-gathering, for in such
cases the ultimate, though tacit, design is to obstruct rather than
investigate, and the official action is proscriptive rather than
observatory in character.[lxviii] One week later, a different panel of
the same court issued its decision in Associated Press v.
Budowich,[lxix] an opinion that neither cited to nor discussed Media
Matters.[lxx] In Budowich, the court granted a motion to stay a
preliminary injunction preventing the White House from excluding the
Associated Press (AP) from events otherwise open to members of the press
pool covering the president.The administration effectively conceded
that it had done just that in retaliation for the AP’s refusal to refer
to the Gulf of Mexico as the “Gulf of America,” as the president
preferred. In a per curiam order, the court held that the White House
was “likely to succeed on the merits” of its appeal.[lxxi] In a
concurring opinion, Judge Neomi Rao set out a more stringent First
Amendment retaliation standard than the court had articulated in Media
Matters, requiring the AP to “demonstrate that (1) it engaged in
protected expression; (2) a government actor took a materially adverse
action against it; and (3) there is a causal relationship between the
protected expression and the adverse action.”[lxxii] She defined a
“materially adverse action” as “generally one that deprives a person of
certain property rights or infringes a liberty interest,” offering the
“loss of employment” or “the withdrawal of a business license” as
examples.[lxxiii] “The White House’s choice of who to allow into the
Oval Office,” Judge Rao wrote, “is simply not like a decision about a
government benefit or license.”[lxxiv] In dissent, Judge Cornelia
Pillard called out what she characterized as Judge Rao’s remarkably
narrow view of First Amendment retaliation claims. She noted both that
(1) White House officials had “concede[d] that they ousted the AP from
the Press Pool based on the AP’s expression of its own views outside the
Press Pool”[lxxv] and (2) “[t]here is no finding—nor was there any
evidence—that the AP’s activity within the Press Pool was . . . in any
other way distinguishable from that of representatives of the media
outlets that the White House still allows to report from the Oval
Office.”[lxxvi] Affirmative Claims for Government Bad Faith by Non-Media
Plaintiffs-Although the elements of a claim for First Amendment
retaliation under the Speech Clause are generally the same for media and
non-media plaintiffs, unlike in media cases, the Supreme Court has shed
significantly more light on what it considers probative evidence of
bad-faith motive by government actors in other cases. This Part examines
those standards through the lens of both a quintessential First
Amendment retaliation claim, as well as another constitutional doctrine
in which establishing bad faith is required in order to prevail.Mt.
Healthy v. Doyle and Its Progeny-The Supreme Court first addressed a
First Amendment retaliation claim in Mt. Healthy City School District
Board of Education v. Doyle (Mt. Healthy).[lxxvii] The Court’s decision
established a framework for such claims that has endured for more than
four decades. The case revolved around Fred Doyle, a teacher employed by
the school district.[lxxviii] As the Court described the underlying
facts, “[i]n one instance, he engaged in an argument with another
teacher,” “culminating in the other teacher’s slapping him.”[lxxix] He
also “got into an argument with employees of the school cafeteria” over
the amount of food he was served, would refer to students as “sons of
bitches,” and “made an obscene gesture to two girls” who failed “to obey
[his] commands.”[lxxx] In a separate incident, he called in to a local
radio station to criticize the school principal’s adoption of a dress
code for teachers.[lxxxi] A month later, the district’s board of
education voted not to rehire Doyle and referenced the radio station
incident as one basis for its decision.[lxxxii] When the case ultimately
reached the Supreme Court, the justices were tasked with deciding
whether “the fact that protected conduct played a ‘substantial part’ in
the actual decision not to renew [Doyle’s contract] would necessarily
amount to a constitutional violation justifying remedial
action.”[lxxxiii] The Court noted initially that, if the discharge was
motivated solely by Doyle’s engagement in protected speech, then it
would unquestionably be unlawful.[lxxxiv] On the other hand, the Court
asserted that “had the radio station incident never come to its
attention,” there would be no First Amendment violation when the board
terminated him.[lxxxv] The hard cases, the Court recognized, involved
mixed-motive discharges. As the Court explained, “[a] rule of causation
which focuses solely on whether protected conduct played a part,
‘substantial’ or otherwise, in a decision not to rehire, could place an
employee in a better position as a result of the exercise of
constitutionally protected conduct than he would have occupied had he
done nothing.”[lxxxvi] To strike the proper balance, the Court devised a
burden-shifting test under which a plaintiff such as Doyle must first
“show that his conduct was constitutionally protected, and that this
conduct was a ‘substantial factor’—or, to put it in other words, that it
was a ‘motivating factor’” in the action taken against him.[lxxxvii]
Where that threshold showing is made, the burden then shifts to the
defendant to show “by a preponderance of the evidence that it would have
reached the same decision”—here, termination—“even in the absence of
the protected conduct.”[lxxxviii] In recent years, the Supreme Court has
reexamined the Mt. Healthy framework in the context of other First
Amendment retaliation claims. Those cases offer further insight into the
types of evidence that can be used to show bad faith by government
actors. For example, in Nieves v. Bartlett,[lxxxix] the Court held that a
“plaintiff pressing a retaliatory arrest claim must plead and prove the
absence of probable cause for the arrest” to prevail.[xc] In so
holding, it acknowledged that an officer’s state of mind, that is,
whether the officer was subjectively motivated by retaliatory animus,
would be sufficient proof of the requisite causal link between the
plaintiff’s injury and the defendant’s conduct.[xci] The Court also
recognized that plaintiffs could meet their burden through “objective
evidence” that they had been treated differently than “otherwise
similarly situated individuals . . . engaged in the same sort of
protected speech.”[xcii] Last term, in Gonzalez v. Trevino,[xciii] the
Supreme Court clarified that a plaintiff can show retaliatory animus
even without evidence of similarly situated comparators.[xciv] In her
concurring opinion, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson emphasized that the
Court’s opinion “should not be taken to suggest that plaintiffs cannot
use other types of objective evidence to make this showing.”[xcv] She
provided examples of alternative evidence such as the “officers’
employment of an unusual, irregular, or unnecessarily onerous arrest
procedure”; “the timing of and events leading up to a plaintiff’s
arrest”; or “if officers falsely document the arrest or include other
indicia of retaliatory motive in arrest-related documents that [] might
suggest meaningfully different treatment.”[xcvi] Government Bad Faith in
the Equal Protection Context-The Court also has developed tests
designed to discern the motive underlying governmental conduct, and to
determine whether it was improper, in other contexts. One such area is
race-based discrimination claims brought under the Fourteenth
Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause. The evidence the Supreme Court has
deemed relevant to discriminatory governmental motive in that setting
provides a helpful framework for identifying the kinds of evidence that
could demonstrate bad faith in the First Amendment context as well.In
the leading case, Village of Arlington Heights v. Metropolitan Housing
Development Corporation,[xcvii] a developer sought to rezone a parcel of
land to allow the construction of multifamily residences. After the
town denied the request, the developer sued, claiming the denial was
“racially discriminatory” and thus violated the Equal Protection Clause.
At the center of the case was the question of what evidence sufficed to
show a racially discriminatory motive in order to trigger strict
constitutional scrutiny under the Fourteenth Amendment.As the Supreme
Court explained, although “[p]roof of racially discriminatory intent or
purpose is required to show a violation of the Equal Protection Clause,”
a plaintiff is not required “to prove that the challenged action rested
solely on racially discriminatory purposes.”[xcviii] “Rarely can it be
said,” the Court wrote, “that a legislature or administrative body
operating under a broad mandate made a decision solely [motivated] by a
single concern, or even that a particular purpose was the ‘dominant’ or
‘primary’ one.”[xcix] Given this mixed-motive reality, the Court laid
out several categories of evidence—direct and circumstantial—to which
plaintiffs could point in order to make the necessary showing that
“invidious discriminatory purpose was a motivating factor” in the
government’s conduct.[c] One such category, the Court noted, was the
official action’s impact.[ci] Although “impact alone is not
determinative” of bad intent, it “may provide a starting point.”[cii]
“Sometimes,” the Court explained, “a clear pattern, unexplainable on
other grounds . . . emerges from the effect of the [government’s] action
even when the governing legislation appears neutral on its face.”[ciii]
In addition, the Court held, the “historical background of the
[government’s] decision” could serve as “one evidentiary source” of
discriminatory motive, “particularly if it reveals a series of official
actions taken for invidious purposes.”[civ] The Court directed litigants
to look at “[t]he specific sequence of events leading up to the
challenged decision,” citing its decision in Grosjean.[cv] A third
category of relevant evidence, the Court asserted, included
“[d]epartures from the normal procedural sequence,” which “might afford
evidence that improper purposes are playing a role,” “particularly if
the factors usually considered important by the decisionmaker strongly
favor a decision contrary to the one reached.”[cvi] Finally, the Court
pointed to “[t]he legislative or administrative history” leading up to
the government’s action.[cvii] Such evidence could prove “especially”
significant “where there are contemporary statements by members of the
decisionmaking body, minutes of its meetings, or reports.”[cviii] In
addition, the Court asserted it could envision some “extraordinary
instance[]” in which “the members might be called to the stand at trial
to testify concerning the purpose of the official action.”[cix] The
Court also noted that this was a non-exhaustive list of the kinds of
evidence that could be marshalled to prove discriminatory motive, but
stressed that all of them were “subjects of proper inquiry in
determining whether discriminatory intent existed.”[cx] Motions to Quash
Subpoenas Issued in Bad Faith-Based on the foregoing, we propose that,
in moving to quash a grand jury subpoena issued to a journalist or news
organization by the Department of Justice, counsel include some version
of the following argument:[cxi]
1. The First Amendment’s Press Clause
presumptively protects journalists and news organizations from grand
jury subpoenas issued by the government in bad faith.In Branzburg, the
Supreme Court unanimously recognized that (1) “newsgathering” is
protected by the First Amendment’s Press Clause, (2) “newsgathering”
includes a journalist’s ability to promise confidentiality to news
sources, and (3) grand jury subpoenas to journalists and their news
organizations issued in bad faith are constitutionally suspect.[cxii]
Every circuit to consider the question has held that, in such
circumstances, the subpoena is presumptively invalid and the recipient
enjoys a qualified constitutional privilege to resist it.[cxiii]
2.
To invoke the First Amendment’s protection, the subpoenaed journalist or
news organization must make a prima facie showing of bad faith.Those
courts that have considered analogous constitutional protections in the
face of governmental conduct undertaken in bad faith or for improper
motives have indicated the requisite showing can be made through
evidence that:The subpoenaed party either gathered or disseminated
information critical of (or otherwise objected to by) the
government;[cxiv] Dissemination of that information is itself protected
by the First Amendment;[cxv] The government has admitted—through
contemporaneous statements, documents, testimony, or other available
evidence—that the subpoena was issued, at least in part, for a
retaliatory or other bad faith purpose;[cxvi] There is a temporal or
causal link between the purportedly objectionable information and the
subpoena’s issuance;[cxvi Enforcement of the subpoena is likely to deter
either (1) similarly situated journalists and news organizations from
gathering and disseminating information deemed objectionable by the
government or (2) news sources from providing such information in the
first instance;[cxviii] The relevant government decisionmakers have a
history of taking retaliatory action against those who disseminate
information they deem objectionable;[cxix] The government’s conduct
reveals a pattern of conduct that cannot reasonably be explained on any
basis other than bad faith;[cxx] The subpoena does not serve a
legitimate need of law enforcement;[cxxi] The testimony or evidence
sought by the subpoena bears only a remote or tenuous relationship to
the subject of the grand jury’s investigation;[cxxii] The subpoena
sweeps broadly and/or could have been more narrowly tailored to achieve
its purported purpose;[cxxiii] The grand jury issued no subpoenas to
similarly situated persons or entities that had not gathered or
disseminated information the government deemed objectionable;[cxxiv] The
process surrounding the subpoena’s issuance, including its timing and
the events leading up to it, was unusual or irregular or imposed
unnecessarily onerous requirements on its recipient;[cxxv] and The
government based issuance of the subpoena on information it knew or
should have known was materially false.[cxxvi] A subpoenaed party may
make the requisite prima facieshowing without on-the-nose evidence. As
the caselaw surrounding unconstitutional government retaliation
demonstrates, a presumption of bad faith can be based on circumstantial
evidence of the above.[cxxvii] As that caselaw further indicates, the
requisite showing can be based on an aggregation of some, but not
necessarily all or even most, of these evidentiary categories.[cxxviii]
Even without such evidence, there is ample available support for a
presumption of bad faith whenever the current administration subpoenas a
journalist or news organization to testify before a grand jury. As the
Introduction demonstrates, the administration and its relevant
decision-makers—including the Attorney General, the director of the FBI,
the director of national intelligence, and the president himself—have
publicly declared their intent to retaliate against perceived critics
and other enemies including, most especially, through the issuance of
subpoenas to the press. In addition, both the president (in his public
and putatively private capacity) and his administration have an
established track record of retaliating against disfavored journalists
and news organizations. Standing alone, such evidence should be more
than sufficient to satisfy the subpoenaed party’s initial burden of
establishing a presumption of bad faith.3. Once a prima facie showing
has been made, the subpoena is presumptively invalid and the burden
shifts to the government to demonstrate that (1) the subpoena seeks
information material to the grand jury investigation; (2) the grand jury
has a compelling need for the subpoenaed information; and (3) the
information is not available from alternative sources.As we have
explained, in some circumstances, courts adjudicating First
Amendment–based retaliation claims have required speakers to demonstrate
either that retaliation was a substantial factor motivating an adverse
governmental action or that the action had a materially adverse impact
on that speaker.[cxxix] Accordingly, there may be an understandable
inclination to allow the government to overcome the presumption of bad
faith in such circumstances.For a number of reasons, however, the
caselaw demonstrates that, although such evidence may be relevant to the
requisite showing, it is by no means sufficient. Cases like Grosjean
and Rossignol indicate that such a showing is irrelevant where a
retaliatory motive against the press has been demonstrated.[cxxx] Those
cases, as well as established First Amendment doctrine more generally,
reflect the notion that even fleeting infringement of the constitutional
right necessarily causes “irreparable harm.”[cxxxi] The Supreme Court
also has deemed such showings insufficient to rebut claims of improper
governmental motive in analogous contexts, including under the Equal
Protection Clause.[cxxxii] Most significantly, in Branzburg and its
progeny, courts have similarly indicated that evidence of a
nonretaliatory motive (in addition to an illicit one) or allegedly de
minimis impact, standing alone, would be insufficient to overcome the
presumption of bad faith.[cxxxiii] Thus, in the face of a prima facie
showing of bad faith, the government’s burden of rebutting the resulting
presumption is necessarily heavy.[cxxxiv] We suspect that, in the run
of cases, the current administration will not attempt to rebut a
journalist’s or news organization’s showing of bad faith, whether
because of the persuasive body of existing evidence referenced above or
the administration’s likely desire to avoid the unearthing of additional
evidence of its bad faith. Rather, for the reasons that follow, the
administration will likely opt instead to attempt to overcome the
qualified privilege established by a prima facie showing of bad faith.In
Branzburg, the subpoenaed journalists all argued (unsuccessfully) that
the constitutional privilege they sought was not absolute.[cxxxv] In his
dissenting opinion, Justice Potter Stewart advocated for a qualified
privilege based on three factors:[T]he government must (1) show that
there is probable cause to believe that the newsman has information that
is clearly relevant to a specific probable violation of law; (2)
demonstrate that the information sought cannot be obtained by
alternative means less destructive of First Amendment rights; and (3)
demonstrate a compelling and overriding interest in the
information.[cxxxvi] In the absence of further Supreme Court guidance,
lower courts have widely adopted it outside the grand jury
context.[cxxxvii] Moreover, in grand jury cases following Branzburg, the
federal appellate courts that have considered the issue have strongly
suggested that even a subpoena issued in bad faith may be enforced
consistent with the First Amendment if the government satisfies Justice
Stewart’s three-part test. Specifically, those courts have construed
Justice Powell’s concurrence as requiring that a court faced with a
motion to quash a subpoena issued in bad faith “balance” the
journalist’s right to avoid this intrusion on the newsgathering process
against the need for the journalist’s testimony.[cxxxviii] As more than
five decades of precedent outside the grand jury context indicates, the
balance is struck through judicial assessment of whether the government
nevertheless has an overriding, compelling interest in enforcing the
subpoena. If so, even where it was issued in bad faith, the subpoena may
be enforced.Conclusion-A broad swath of our First Amendment
jurisprudence is composed of prophylactic rules designed to protect the
press from the ever-present risk that government officials will invoke
their power to penalize or retaliate against it for disfavored reporting
or commentary.In New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, for example, the
Court—aware that Alabama officials had weaponized libel law to punish
and stifle critical reporting—erected a constitutional regime designed
to make it difficult for them (and others) to do so.[cxxxix] In
Minneapolis Star, the Court created a presumption that a tax directed
solely at the press violates the First Amendment expressly because it
feared that any such tax would likely be imposed in bad faith.[cxl] By
contrast, in Branzburg,[cxli] the Court declined to adopt an analogous
prophylactic rule creating a presumption of constitutional invalidity
when a federal grand jury subpoenas a reporter or news organization.
Instead, it placed on the press the onus of establishing the subpoena
was issued in bad faith.In this article, we have taken the Court at its
word and, drawing on precedent established in analogous contexts, have
offered a framework for vindicating the press’s constitutional right to
resist grand jury subpoenas designed to punish or retaliate against it
for speaking truth to power. [i] Marvin Kalb, Enemy of the People:

Id. In Baltimore Sun v. Ehrlich, 437 F.3d 410 (4th Cir. 2006),
Maryland’s governor had instructed his administration to cease providing
interviews or other information to two reporters who had written
articles critical of him. Without citing Rossignol, the court looked to
precedent (discussed infra) governing First Amendment retaliation claims
brought by non-media speakers. Under that body of law, the court
concluded that, even though it was conceded the two journalists had
“engaged in constitutionally protected speech” and the governor had
issued the “directive in response to their speech,” there can be no
“actionable retaliation claim . . . when a government official denies a
reporter access to discretionarily afforded information or refuses to
answer questions.” Id. at 417. The court so held, it explained, both
because it feared that authorizing a retaliation claim in such
circumstances would “constitutionalize virtually every day-to-day
interchange between the press and the Governor” and because, in the
absence of evidence of a demonstrable “chilling effect” on the Sun’s
“exercise of its First Amendment rights,” the law does not provide a
remedy for a “de minimis inconvenience.” Id.[lv] 138 F.4th 563 (D.C.

J6 Shocker: FBI informants warned of armed
violence, Antifa presence before riot, lawmaker reveals-Rep. Barry
Loudermilk says he fears that the FBI withheld vital intelligence,
creating fateful security holes before Capitol riot.By John
Solomon-Published: November 7, 2025 11:13pm
Numerous confidential
informants alerted the FBI prior to the Jan. 6, 2021 riot that there
was the strong possibility of “armed” conflict at the U.S. Capitol, but
that intelligence was not disbursed aggressively enough to force a
change in security that fateful day, the first congressman to review
those source reports tells Just the News.Rep. Barry Loudermilk, R-Ga.,
the chairman of the House Judiciary subcommittee investigating Jan. 6
law enforcement failures, said he was floored to see the specificity of
threats and the consistency in warnings that multiple confidential human
sources provided the FBI and that the intelligence was serious enough
that it should have prompted more security and possibly even a
cancellation of President Donald Trump’s speech that day on the Ellipse.
Loudermilk said the intelligence reports came weeks and days in advance
of the Capitol riot from about two dozen informants embedded in radical
groups around the country and that many of those informants came to the
Capitol to keep assisting the FBI.“I was surprised that we found this
significant intelligence that was derived from these people embedded in
these organizations,” he said Friday night in an expansive interview on
the "Just the News, No Noise" television show. “There is no way that at
least the Washington Field Office or the FBI headquarters was not aware
that there were elements, not the entire crowd. There were elements of
people coming to Washington, DC with the intent of attacking the Capitol
of the United States.”The Georgia lawmaker credited current FBI
Director Kash Patel and Attorney General Pam Bondi for giving him access
to the intelligence reports of the informants and said that it opened a
whole new avenue of inquiry into whether some elements inside the FBI
withheld intelligence that could have helped Capitol Police better
prepare or repel the violence that occurred that day.“We’re really
having a hard time finding really any tangible reports that were sent to
the Capitol Police or other agencies. And so my question is, what did
they know? When did they know it, and what did they do with the
information?” he said.“I can tell you unequivocally, they had to know
that there was something not only bad going to happen, but the reports
coming from these confidential human sources, not just one, but multiple
sources from multiple organizations across multiple field offices
across the nation, were reporting the same thing,” he added.Loudermilk
said the informants made clear to their FBI handlers “that not only was
there going to be violence in Washington, DC, at the Capitol on January
6, most of the reports were it was going to be a whole lot worse than
what actually it turned out to be."Pressed further, Loudermilk said he
was waiting to have documents further declassified but confirmed
multiple informants told the FBI that groups were planning an armed
attack on the Capitol, lawmakers or law enforcement during the
certification of the 2020 election results that cleared the way for Joe
Biden to become the 46th president.“There were elements, not every group
that was there, but there were certain groups that were planning on an
armed attack of the Capitol, and even against law enforcement if they
got in the way,” he disclosed. “And it's not just isolated. It was,
again, from several different places across the United States, and
reported to several different field offices.FBI had as many as 26
confidential informants embedded in Jan. 6 crowd“One of my concerns
about this, and I'm just going to speak from my own self, and one of
the, one of the things that I think we need to run down is if they would
have passed along this level of intelligence, if they would have shared
that level of intelligence, would it had changed the security posture
to the extent where President Trump would not have come out and given
his speech at the ellipse,” Loudermilk added.It was revealed last year
by the DOJ’s internal watchdog that the FBI had as many as 26
confidential informants in the crowd on Jan. 6 and that some had been
passing on warnings to agents about potential violence by right-leaning
groups like the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers.Also warned about Antifa-But
Loudermilk revealed for the first time Friday night that one of the
groups that were being flagged by the FBI informants was the far-left
anarchist group Antifa, which was recently designated a domestic terror
group by Trump.“The answer is yes, there was concerns that Antifa would
be embedded within the crowds there,” he said. “There were several
references, again, not just isolated to one, but several different field
offices, different organizations that were reporting that they had
heard that Antifa would be embedded within the crowd.”FBI officials
confirmed to Just the News that their informant did warn of armed
conflict and even Antifa, that the reports have now been shared with
Congress and that efforts are underway to declassify them, so the public
could see the long-hidden warnings.Just the News has previously
reported that Capitol Police intelligence analysts did not receive
intelligence warnings of major violence and were led to believe by
intelligence partners that Jan. 6 would look like prior peaceful Trump
rallies. That assessment led Capitol Police to have a smaller security
footprint and for top lieutenants to reject then-Capitol Police Chief
Steve Sund’s request days ahead of the event for the National Guard to
be deployed for extra security.Loudermilk released last year videotape
of then-Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., admitting she
should not have opposed the deployment of the National Guard.Loudermilk
said the intelligence and informants he has now read four years later
warranted a far more aggressive security plan than was deployed.“There
should have been even more security put in place. The National Guard
should have been at the Capitol the first time Chief of Police, Steven
Sund requested it, just based on that information,” he said.Since the
revelation last year of the presence of FBI informants in the Jan. 6
crowd, some have questioned whether their presence had a nefarious
intent. Loudermilk said the evidence he has seen leads him to the
opposite conclusion, that the informants did a good job warning the FBI,
but those warnings fell on deaf ears.“They are all reporting the same
thing, and it's just not prior to January 6. Some of them are reporting
during January 6 and post reporting,” he said. “And so that's what I
found enlightening. They continue to report what was going on which,
which increases their credibility, in my opinion, that they were trying
to do the right thing.”
House committees threaten subpoena over
no-show ActBlue official in fundraiser fraud probe-Republicans launched
an investigation earlier this year into the fundraising giant over
concerns about fraud prevention policies which uncovered lax security
measures that allowed foreign donations to American political
campaigns.By John Solomon and Steven Richards-Published: November 7,
2025 2:44pm
The three House committees leading the probe into
Democratic-aligned fundraising platform ActBlue have threatened a former
lead official in the company with a subpoena to appear for testimony
about the company’s fraud prevention practices. "On August 1, you
expressed your intent to cooperate with the Committees’ oversight and
appear for a transcribed interview once you retained counsel,” House
Administration committee Chairman Bryan Steil, House Judiciary Chairman
Jim Jordan, and House Oversight Chairman James Comer wrote in a letter
Friday. “To date, however, you have failed to comply with the
Committees’ request.”The former official, who is identified as the
“Former Senior Total Rewards Specialist” for ActBlue, is believed by the
committee heads to possess knowledge about “reported internal
misconduct and whistleblower retaliation” at the fundraising platform.
You can read the letter below:File
2025-11-07_JDJ_BS_BC_to_employee_re_follow-up_Redacted.pdf .In March, at
least seven senior officials resigned from the fundraising giant as it
came under scrutiny from House Republicans over concerns about the
company’s fraud prevention policies. One remaining lawyer at the company
also alleged that he faced internal retaliation, the New York Times
reported. Earlier this year, the committee subpoenaed ActBlue CEO Regina
Wallace-Jones for documents related to its probe.They soon discovered
that the platform, which is used by hundreds of Democratic campaigns and
progressive causes, had accepted possibly fraudulent donations from
domestic and foreign sources, in part, because of policy changes during
the 2024 campaign cycle that relaxed verification for credit or gift
card donations, Just the News previously reported. According to internal
company documents reviewed by the committees, during the 2024 campaign
cycle, ActBlue issued new standards encouraging staff to “look for
reasons to accept contributions.” Before the policy change, the platform
already failed to require CVV numbers for credit card transactions,
increasing fraud risks.An internal assessment by the company determined
the policy change led to “between 14 and 28 additional fraudulent
contributions each month,” the committees said.The documents also show
the platform began monitoring potential fraudulent donations from
several foreign sources, including hundreds of donations from Brazil,
Colombia, India, Iraq, the Philippines and Saudi Arabia, and other
countries.ActBlue has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing and says that it
is fully cooperating with ongoing investigations.The platform has
acknowledged to Congress that it has updated its donor verification
policy to automatically reject donations that “use foreign prepaid/gift
cards, domestic gift cards, are from high-risk/sanctioned countries, and
have the highest level of risk as determined,” by its solution
provider, Sift.
Pro-Israel Christians, Jews use law loathed by
pro-life activists to stop anti-Israel disruptions-"It would make it
more difficult to hold violent agitators and intimidating antisemites
accountable under the law" if Congress repeals the FACE Act, as pro-life
activists want, lawyer for religious organizations says.By Greg Piper
Published: November 7, 2025 11:20pm
Texas pro-life activists took
a page from California environmental activists to functionally ban
abortion in The Lone Star State, by outsourcing civil litigation to
private citizens so that abortion clinics couldn't sue public officials
to block SB 8. Red states repeated the environmental trick this year
through bills targeting abortion pills as contaminants of drinking
water. Now the bane of pro-life activists for over 30 years is being
fashioned to protect Christian and Jewish congregations, whose faith
compels them to support Israel, from anti-Israel activists in the San
Diego area.First Liberty Institute filed a Freedom of Access to Clinic
Entrances Act lawsuit against "hostile agitators affiliated with Code
Pink" on behalf of the Christian and Jewish Alliance, The Mission Church
of Carlsbad and Jewish worshipper Ruth Mastron, alleging they carried
out an illegal "campaign of disruption and harassment" against three
worship services."We just want to be able to gather safely, pray, and
worship together without fearing for our lives," Mastron said, alleging
"a masked person holding a vulgar sign jumped onto the hood of our car,
screaming and banging on the windshield" at a Sept. 7 service.The
federal FACE Act makes it unlawful for any person to use "force, the
threat of force, or physical obstruction to intentionally injure or
intimidate a person because he or she is lawfully exercising the right
of religious freedom at a place of worship" or "obtaining or providing
reproductive health services," whether abortion or anti-abortion
counseling.The legislation has rarely been used to protect churches or
pro-life pregnancy centers but has been used overwhelmingly to prosecute
pro-life activists and impose steep criminal penalties far beyond what a
state or local trespassing charge would carry. In the first week of his
second term, President Trump granted pardons to 23 liberal and
conservative pro-life activists facing years in prison under FACE Act
convictions for peaceful sit-ins at abortion clinics. A 24th activist
didn't seek a pardon so he could challenge the law as null and void
under Dobbs, the Supreme Court ruling that eliminated federal abortion
rights.The Heritage Foundation has called it "an ideological weapon
designed to suppress ordinary pro-life activity and expression," and the
GOP-controlled House Judiciary Committee approved a FACE Act repeal
bill this summer that hasn't gone anywhere since.Asked why it didn't
seek terrorism-related charges for politically motivated threats of
violence against worshippers and physical assault of Mastron, First
Liberty senior counsel Jeremy Dys told Just the News that "Congress gave
us the solution" to deal with agitators who "exchange peace with
intimidation and antisemitism" under the guise of peaceful protest."It
would make it more difficult to hold violent agitators and intimidating
antisemites accountable under the law" if Congress repealed the FACE
Act, he said.Screaming 'obscenities and slurs at the children,' showing
them dead babies-Known to an older generation for its antiwar
disruptions during George W. Bush's presidency, Code Pink has shown its
staying power over two decades, reportedly turning President Trump
against the Secret Service by getting dangerously close to him at a
restaurant this month.It is formally committed to nonviolence, meaning
its activists will "use no violence, verbal or physical, toward any
person," show "openness and respect toward all people we encounter in
our actions," and neither "destroy any property" nor carry weapons. "We
will exercise personal and collective responsibility to ensure all
participants adhere to these commitments."That's not the narrative told
in First Liberty's lawsuit against Daniel Brunner, Aimee Magda Werth,
Kristina Turner-Brown, Patrick Hartley, Sasha Spite Miller, Jacob
Pagaduan, Esmat “Essie” Baradar, Jonathan Provance, Maya Karalius and 40
unknown defendants. Just the News asked Code Pink, which is not itself
named, whether it considers any of the defendants to be affiliates or to
legitimately organize in its name, and if so, what responsibility it
has over them. The docket shows no defendant has a listed lawyer as of
Friday."We do not comment on any ongoing or pending litigation" but will
reach out if Code Pink issues a statement, media relations manager
Melissa Garriga told Just the News.Various configurations of the
defendants illegally interfered with the plaintiffs' events March 19,
Easter Sunday and Sept. 7, 2025, the last event of which drew the most
named defendants, the suit says, claiming Brunner and Hartley
participated in all three. Several photos purportedly identify various
defendants in the act of protest or arrest.It specifies that Brunner,
Miller and Werth hold themselves out publicly as Code Pink leaders in
the San Diego area, "which has a pattern of organizing disruptive
protests against Jews and their supporters," and that Brunner also led a
disruptive protest Oct. 20, 2024, against the alliance and church and
against a different church Aug. 25, 2025.The defendants' actions have
"created a culture of anxiety and fear within both the Church and the
Alliance, causing both to cancel religious events and expend additional
resources to ensure the safety of their members," the suit says, with
the church losing members and the alliance struggling to "secure safe
locations to host interfaith worship and prayer events."Mastron suffers
"severe stress and lingering anxiety" whenever she's in "public in her
own community" because of ongoing threats by Code Pink affiliates, whose
stated "war" against the "abomination" of Zionism considers her a
legitimate target, the suit says.The March event at the church featured
former Israeli Knesset member Einat Wilf, with about half the audience
of 400 composed of Jewish community members, who gathered to "worship
together and learn about religious persecution in Israel," First Liberty
claims. "Posing as guests" under fake names, "disruptors infiltrated
the sanctuary, yelling epithets until they were escorted out," while
others "lined up inches outside the door, calling church members 'Nazis'
and yelling 'Mission Church, you can’t hide! We charge you with
genocide!'" the firm said. (This event includes 20 unnamed defendants,
the most of any.) Those inside the sanctuary disrupted the event "in
staggered intervals –screaming, threatening congregants, and physically
resisting removal," then all the defendants at that event "blockaded
egress from the Church to the parking lot, intentionally creating a
chaotic and violent environment for hundreds of guests seeking to
leave," the suit says.They came back on Easter Sunday, "holding signs
with grotesque images of dead babies and yelling at the children of the
church when they saw them outside," using bullhorns to scream
"obscenities and slurs at the children" even after police told
protesters to go across the street. The suit says "safety officers"
escorted several attendees back to their cars, and those parked in
overflow had to walk "directly past" protesters and their "vitriolic
chants and graphic signs."Ignored cease-and-desist, police refused to
stop 'ear-splitting sirens'The disruptions reached a head at the
September event at the Legacy International Center's amphitheater, with
an Orthodox rabbi opening prayer and several pastors and rabbis speaking
and leading worship, according to the suit.The church's counsel had
sent Brunner a cease-and-desist letter in May to prevent further
disruptions, but he and six other named defendants, the most yet, and 15
unknown defendants showed up to the September event and created mayhem,
First Liberty claims.Defendants arrived long before, "intentionally
occupied the road to block both entrances to the venue" and funneled all
vehicles into the only remaining entrance, slowing everyone to a crawl
as disruptors walked in front of and behind cars with bullhorns shouting
"Zionism is Naziism!" and "Go back to Israel!" among other epithets,
the suit says.In addition to Doe 26, a "pink-haired woman wearing a full
black face mask" carrying the sign "Only C---s Support Israel" who
jumped on Mastron's car, others physically intruded into the cars of
other attendees to yell at them, hit their vehicles or surround them so
they couldn't move, the plaintiffs allege.The threatening behavior on
the ground prompted several cars to turn around, and the actual
attendance that day was "far less than the number of pre-registered
guests."Those who made it in endured "ear-splitting sirens for three
hours," and senior citizens had to remove their hearing aids, staying
"only to show solidarity at the event." Wearing earplugs themselves, the
defendants caused "ongoing physical harm" to attendees' ears, yet
police told organizers they "'don't enforce noise ordinances,'" the suit
says.

Mamdani wins
NYC mayoral race, as Jewish leaders say historic civic engagement-“When
the final numbers are in, we expect record Jewish voter turnout,” Sydney
Altfield, of Teach Coalition, told JNS.-Anna Rahmanan, JNS Staff-(Nov.
4, 2025 / JNS)
Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Socialist nominee
who has a history of anti-Israel rhetoric, has won the New York City
mayoral race, the Associated Press reported shortly after 9:30 p.m.At
press time, with 75% of the votes counted, Mamdani had 860,327 votes
(50.4%), followed by 704,866 (41.3%) for former Democratic state
governor Andrew Cuomo, running as an independent, and 128,400 (7.5%) for
the Republican candidate, Curtis Sliwa, founder of the Guardian
Angels.The Republican Jewish Coalition stated that “it’s official.
Zohran Mamdani is the face of the Democratic Party now.”“Democratic
‘leaders,’ including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Gov.
Kathy Hochul, have handed their party over to what was once the radical
left-wing fringe,” the RJC said. “This is a deeply distressing result
for New Yorkers, particularly Jewish New Yorkers, but in fact this
election will affect all of us.”The Democratic Party “owns this election
and all its results, and voters across the country will hold them
accountable when they vote in 2026 and 2028,” the RJC said.
It
added that New Yorkers now have “a mayor who will ruin their economy,
their education system and their transportation system with communist
fantasy policies.”“They will have a mayor who took money from
terror-supporting Islamist organizations for his campaign, who is
virulently anti-capitalism, anti-police and anti-Israel, and who will
not lift a finger to protect Jewish New Yorkers from the ‘globalize the
intifada’ crowd,” the RJC said. “This is a dark day for the City of New
York, and the Democrats own all of it.”Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO and
national director of the Anti-Defamation League, stated that in light of
the mayor-elect’s “long, disturbing record on issues of deep concern to
the Jewish community, we will approach the next four years with
resolve.”“We expect the mayor of the city with the largest Jewish
population in the world to stand unequivocally against antisemitism in
all its varied forms and support all of its Jewish residents just as he
would all other constituents,” the ADL leader said.“In the months ahead,
we will hold the Mamdani administration to this basic standard, and ADL
will be relentless and unyielding in our work to ensure the safety and
security of all Jewish New Yorkers,” he said. “We will neither
compromise nor relent in our pursuit of our core purpose, to protect the
Jewish people.”“The exit poll shows Mamdani up by about 7. Roughly 47%
of the vote. Sliwa dropped a lot, but not enough for Cuomo,” wrote Henry
Olsen, senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center and host of
the Beyond the Polls podcast, shortly before AP called the
race.“Mamdani wins every racial and ethnic group, but really wins on the
college-plus vote. He beats Cuomo among them by 20% while losing the
non-college vote by only 5,” Olsen wrote. “He loses white non-college
voters big, but carries non-white non-college voters by 7.” Olsen added
that Cuomo “wins the Jewish vote by only 60-31.Jewish community leaders
told JNS that civic engagement among their constituencies has reached
unprecedented levels.Sydney Altfield, national director at Teach
Coalition, an Orthodox Union program that pushes for government funding
of nonpublic schools, told JNS that her sense, after visiting polling
sites in Jewish neighborhoods in four boroughs on Tuesday, was that the
election had “accelerated the progress of the last several years in the
Jewish community understanding the importance of voting for our
interests.”“Tens of thousands of new Jewish voters have been registered,
and we’ve seen engagement in all segments of the community,” Altfield
said. “When the final numbers are in, we expect record Jewish voter
turnout. The lasting impact transcends a single election. It’s a
movement, not a moment.”Scott Feldman, executive vice president of the
One Israel Fund, which supports Israelis in Judea and Samaria, told JNS
that Orthodox Jews in New York City have been motivated by concerns
about a Mamdani victory.Mamdani has accused Israel of “genocide” and
said that he would have Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
arrested if the premier came to the Big Apple.“Mamdani is very dangerous
to the Jewish community,” Feldman said. “He is a wolf in sheep’s
clothing. Unfortunately, there are plenty of Jews who have fallen for
his rhetoric, but he is really an existential threat to our
community.”“Everybody that I talk to in my part of the city, in Far
Rockaway, are very, very concerned,” he told JNS. “The turnout at our
local precinct is almost at the point, and I think by the end of the
night it will exceed the amount of votes that were cast last year in the
presidential election.”Jewish organizations have spent months
registering voters and on get-out-the-vote campaigns. “We all realize
the potential problems of a Mamdani mayoral election,” he said. “It’s
not just about the Jewish community. We all feel that he would be a
terrible mayor for the city of New York, for quality of life, for safety
and security, for the police, for the real estate and housing industry,
for the stock market and everyone who works in the financial
industry.”Although Cuomo had a nearly 30-point lead on Mamdani in the
Jewish vote, Jews are just 15% of the electorate, according to Olsen,
the polling expert. “No religions are 23% and Mamdani won them by 52,”
he wrote. “He also won the 14% who practice non-Judeo-Christian
religions (14%) by 43%.”“The only income group Mamdani loses are those
making $200,000 or more, and that by only 11%,” he said. “He barely wins
among straight voters by 43-42. But among the 14% who are LGBTQ? He
wins by 64.”

A large majority of New York City Jews voted for
Andrew Cuomo for mayor, with 63% of the Jewish population voting for him
and 33% for Zohran Mamdani, a Wednesday CNN poll found following
Mamdani's mayoral victory. Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa received
support from 3% of the Jewish population.Mamdani became the first Muslim
to be elected as the city's mayor on Tuesday night. According to the
poll, however, he did so by capitalizing on support from voters with no
religious affiliation, while falling short of a majority among the
city's three largest religious groups.Jewish voters comprised 15% of the
religious voter blocs-The election results highlight a contrast in
priorities among New York’s diverse religious blocs. Overall, Catholic
voters accounted for the largest share of the electorate at 27%,
followed by those with no religious affiliation (24%), and
Protestant/other Christian voters (21%). Jewish voters comprised 15% of
the total.In addition to the Jewish vote, Mamdani lost the Catholic vote
by a significant margin: 53% supported Cuomo and 14% backed Sliwa,
against 33% for Mamdani.A decisive 75% of voters with no religious
affiliation supported Mamdani.

Mamdani wins New York City mayoral race-Promises he won’t waver in fight
against antisemitism in city with world’s largest Jewish population,
says NYC will be ‘the light’ against Trump’s darkness; NY Jewish
federation vows to hold him accountable-By Luke Tress-5 November 2025,
8:23 am
NEW YORK — Democratic candidate Zohran Mamdani on Tuesday
was elected mayor of New York City, capping a stunning rise for the
far-left anti-Israel activist and state assemblymember who, at 34, will
be the city’s youngest mayor in over a century.Mamdani’s win marks a sea
change for Jews in New York City, home to the Diaspora’s largest Jewish
community, which has enjoyed the support of City Hall for generations.
It was long taken for granted that mayoral candidates needed to be
pro-Israel to win office, but no longer.He defeated former governor
Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa. He will replace Mayor Eric
Adams, who dropped his reelection bid in September but remained on the
ballot. More than 2 million New Yorkers cast ballots in the contest, the
largest turnout in a mayoral race in more than 50 years, according to
the city’s Board of Elections. With roughly 90 percent of the votes
counted, Mamdani held an approximately 9-point lead over Cuomo.He
entered the general election as the favorite following a 12-point
victory in the ranked-choice Democratic primary earlier this
year.Addressing concerns among many Jewish New Yorkers, Mamdani stated
in his acceptance speech that he will “not waver” in combating
antisemitism as the mayor.“We will build a city hall that stands
steadfast alongside Jewish New Yorkers and does not waver in the fight
against the scourge of antisemitism,” he said. “Where the more than one
million Muslims know that they belong — not just in the five boroughs of
this city, but in the halls of power. No more will New York be a city
where you can traffic in Islamophobia and win an election.”“The
conventional wisdom would tell you that I am far from the perfect
candidate. I am young, despite my best efforts to grow older. I am
Muslim. I am a democratic socialist. And most damning of all, I refuse
to apologize for any of this,” Mamdani declared.He cast his win as a
victory for blue-collar workers struggling to get by. “New York, tonight
you have delivered a mandate for change,” he said, vowing to “wake up
each morning with a singular purpose: to make this city better for you
than it was the day before.”Mamdani’s victory came in the face of fierce
attacks on his policies and Muslim heritage from business elites,
conservative media commentators, and US President Donald Trump, a
prominent New Yorker.“If anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald
Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him,” Mamdani
said in his victory speech. “In this moment of political darkness, New
York will be the light.”Trump appeared to acknowledge Mamdani’s
challenge, posting ”…AND SO IT BEGINS!” on his Truth Social
site.Conceding to Mamdani, Cuomo vowed to continue to oppose
antisemitism.“We will not make the NYPD the enemy,” Cuomo told a crowd
of several hundred supporters, referring to Mamdani’s past opposition to
the police.“We cherish our diversity and we have no tolerance for
discrimination of any kind,” he said. “We will not tolerate any behavior
that fans the flames of antisemitism.”The crowd cheered in
approval.Cuomo made combating antisemitism a central plank of his
campaign, winning the support of mainstream Jewish groups.US Jewish
groups concerned, vow to hold Mamdani ‘accountable’ Reacting to
Mamdani’s victory, mainstream American Jewish organizations mostly
withheld congratulations.The UJA-Federation of New York, in a rare
political statement, said it will hold the mayor-elect “accountable”
after his victory.“We recognize that voters are animated by a range of
issues, but we cannot ignore that the mayor-elect holds core beliefs
fundamentally at odds with our community’s deepest convictions and most
cherished values,” UJA said in a statement.“We will continue to work
across every level of government to ensure that our city remains a place
where our Jewish community, and all communities, feel safe and
respected,” the statement said. “We call on Mayor-elect Mamdani and all
elected officials to govern with humility, inclusivity, and a deep
respect for the diversity of views and experiences that define our
city.”“We will hold all elected officials, including Mayor-elect
Mamdani, fully accountable for ensuring that New York remains a place
where Jewish life and support for Israel are protected and can thrive,”
the statement said.Citing Mamdani’s “disturbing record on issues of deep
concern to the Jewish community,” the Anti-Defamation League said it
“will approach the next four years with resolve.”“We expect the mayor of
the city with the largest Jewish population in the world to stand
unequivocally against antisemitism in all its varied forms and support
all of its Jewish residents just as he would all other constituents,”
the ADL said. “In the months ahead, we will hold the Mamdani
administration to this basic standard, and ADL will be relentless and
unyielding in our work to ensure the safety and security of all Jewish
New Yorkers. We will neither compromise nor relent in our pursuit of our
core purpose, to protect the Jewish people.”The Republican Jewish
Coalition lamented Mamdani’s win as “a deeply distressing result for New
Yorkers, particularly Jewish New Yorkers, but in fact this election
will affect all of us.”“Democrats have shamefully endorsed and elected
an antisemite to run the largest city in America with the largest number
of Jews in the country,” the RJC charged.Mamdani, when he takes office
at the start of next year, will become the city’s first Muslim mayor and
its youngest leader in generations.His energetic, optimistic,
media-savvy campaign galvanized young progressives, including Jews,
while his vitriol toward Israel sparked fear in mainstream Jewish
communities, who worry his anti-Israel platform will feed into hostility
against Jews.Cuomo, Sliwa, and other critics assailed him over his
vehement criticism of Israel’s military actions in Gaza. Mamdani, a
longtime advocate of Palestinian rights, has accused Israel of
committing genocide and said he would honor an arrest warrant the
International Criminal Court issued for Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu.Mamdani has acknowledged that many Jews disagree with his
stances on Israel and has vowed to fight antisemitism as mayor.The race
was divisive for New Yorkers, and the Jewish community, from Manhattan’s
Reform synagogues to Hasidim in Brooklyn. Rabbi Angela Buchdahl, one of
the city’s leading Reform rabbis, said this week that Mamdani has
contributed to “abhorrent antisemitism,” but added that the “true
danger” was a “fracture in our Jewish family.”More than 1,000 rabbis
from across the US, including New York City community leaders, signed an
open letter last month warning against the threat. Jews are
disproportionately targeted in hate crimes in the city; last month, 62%
of all hate incidents were antisemitic.Mamdani’s unlikely rise gives
credence to Democrats who have urged the party to embrace more
progressive candidates instead of rallying behind centrists in hopes of
winning back swing voters who have abandoned the party.And his
far-reaching policy proposals — free buses and childcare, new approaches
to community safety, and government-run grocery stores among them —
coupled with his political inexperience, herald an uncertain future for
the city.Times of Israel staff and agencies contributed to this report.
Three killed in new US strike on alleged drug boat, toll at 70.
Washington,
Nov 7 (AFP) Nov 07, 2025-US forces on Thursday struck another alleged
drug trafficking boat in the Caribbean, killing three people, Pentagon
chief Pete Hegseth said, bringing the death toll from Washington's
controversial anti-narcotics campaign to at least 70.The United States
began carrying out such strikes -- which experts say amount to
extrajudicial killings even if they target known traffickers -- in early
September, taking aim at vessels in the Caribbean and eastern
Pacific.The US strikes have destroyed at least 18 vessels so far -- 17
boats and a semi-submersible -- but Washington has yet to make public
any concrete evidence that its targets were smuggling narcotics or posed
a threat to the United States.Hegseth released aerial footage on X of
the latest strike, which he said took place in international waters like
the previous strikes and targeted "a vessel operated by a Designated
Terrorist Organization."The video showed a boat traveling through the
water before exploding into flames."Three male narco-terrorists -- who
were aboard the vessel -- were killed," Hegseth said, without any
further identifying information."To all narco-terrorists who threaten
our homeland: if you want to stay alive, stop trafficking drugs. If you
keep trafficking deadly drugs -- we will kill you," he wrote.Like some
previous videos released by the US government, a section of the boat is
obfuscated for unspecified reasons.President Donald Trump's
administration has built up significant forces in Latin America, in what
it says is its campaign to stamp out drug trafficking.So far it has
deployed six Navy ships in the Caribbean, sent F-35 stealth warplanes to
Puerto Rico, and ordered the USS Gerald R Ford carrier strike group to
the region.The governments and families of those killed in the US
strikes have said many of the dead were civilians -- primarily
fishermen.Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro has repeatedly accused
Trump of seeking to oust him.US bombers have also conducted shows of
force near Venezuela, flying over the Caribbean Sea off the country's
coast on at least four occasions since mid-October.Maduro -- who has
been indicted on drug charges in the United States -- insists there is
no drug cultivation in his country, which he says is used as a
trafficking route for Colombian cocaine against its will.The Trump
administration has said in a notice to Congress that the United States
is engaged in "armed conflict" with Latin American drug cartels,
describing them as terrorist groups as part of its justification for the
strikes.The United Nations has asked the United States to cease its
campaign, with rights chief Volker Turk saying the killings have taken
place "in circumstances that find no justification in international
law."
Settler attacks on Palestinians in West Bank hit all-time
high in October — UN-Humanitarian office reports 264 violent incidents
last month, averaging eight a day; also says roughly 15% of the over
9,600 attacks it has recorded since 2006 occurred this year By Agencies
and ToI Staff Today, 6:01 am-NOV 8,25
Israeli settlers carried
out at least 264 attacks against Palestinians in the West Bank during
October, marking the biggest monthly total since United Nations
officials began tracking such incidents in 2006, the UN said on
Friday.In a statement warning against the sharp rise in violence, the UN
Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs said the attacks,
which resulted in casualties and property damage, amounted to an average
of eight incidents per day.“Since 2006, OCHA has documented over 9,600
such attacks. About 1,500 of them took place just this year, roughly 15
per cent of the total,” the UN body said in a statement.Home to 2.7
million Palestinians, the West Bank has long been at the heart of plans
for a future Palestinian state existing alongside Israel. Over half a
million Israeli settlers live in the territory. The United Nations,
Palestinians and most countries regard settlements as illegal under
international law, which Israel disputes.OCHA also said that according
to OCHA-confirmed data as of Wednesday, 42 Palestinian children had been
killed by Israeli forces in the West Bank so far this year.“That means
one in every five Palestinians killed by Israeli forces in the West Bank
in 2025 has been a child,” OCHA said.Israel’s mission to the United
Nations did not immediately respond to a request for comment.Violence
against Palestinian often rises during olive picking season, which began
in early October. There have been a string of attacks by settlers and
soldiers on olive pickers, who sometimes include Israeli, Jewish and
other volunteers from abroad.The latest attacks have been met with
little to no police enforcement against perpetrators, and come amid a
larger spike in settler violence since the Hamas onslaught of October 7,
2023, which sparked the Gaza war.
Trump ally Stefanik launches
bid for NY governor, blasts Mamdami as ‘antisemitic communist’-Video
declaring US House member’s campaign notes her questioning of college
presidents over campus antisemitism, as she looks to bolster her profile
as a supporter of American Jews-By Andrew Lapin Today, 3:58 am-NOV 8,25
JTA
–US Representative Elise Stefanik announced a run for New York governor
Friday, as the Republican seeks to leverage her elevated profile as a
vocal supporter of the American Jewish community to a role in higher
office.She aims to challenge the Democratic incumbent Kathy Hochul, who
angered many Jews in New York with her endorsement of New York City’s
mayor-elect, Zohran Mamdani, despite his track record of Israel
criticism.In an announcement video for Stefanik’s gubernatorial run, a
narrator notes that she “fought woke insanity in our schools,” as a
headline referring to her campus antisemitism hearings fills the
screen.Stefanik, who is not Jewish, has been one of the loudest voices
on Capitol Hill condemning antisemitism since the October 7, 2023, Hamas
attacks and war in Gaza. Her relentless questioning of university
presidents about the campus climate for Jews was credited with leading
to the resignations of the top posts at Harvard, the University of
Pennsylvania and others.Many invitations to address Jewish groups
followed, including the Anti-Defamation League and Yeshiva University
(which awarded her the Modern Orthodox school’s highest honor over the
objections of many faculty). Her newfound allyships came despite
Stefanik’s past platforming of the antisemitic “Great Replacement”
theory, and other troublesome aspects of her history that confounded
liberal Jews.Stefanik, who seeks to become the first Republican since
George Pataki to move into the governor’s mansion in Albany, seems
likely to make antisemitism a main flank of her campaign. Her video
attacks Hochul for the governor’s Mamdani endorsement, saying Hochul
“cozied up to a defund-the-police, tax hiking, antisemitic Communist.”
Hochul is facing a primary challenge from her top lieutenant, who had
endorsed Mamdani much earlier in the election cycle and who is married
to a Jewish filmmaker.Among the Republican endorsements of Stefanik’s
campaign the candidate retweeted Friday morning were Leo Terrell, who
heads an antisemitism task force within the Trump administration, and
New York City Councilwoman Inna Vernikov, who is Jewish and vocally
pro-Israel.“Elise Stefanik will clean up our college campuses from the
rot they have become and will confront antisemitism head on!” Vernikov
wrote.A staunch ally of US President Donald Trump, Stefanik had been in
line to become his ambassador to the United Nations, where she had
promised to be a vocal defender of Israel. Her nomination was withdrawn
in order to keep her in the House of Representatives to help protect the
chamber’s slim GOP majority, but Stefanik has been eyeing a bigger
platform ever since.Her announcement comes as the GOP is facing an
internal civil war over right-wing antisemitism, with pundit Tucker
Carlson, the head of the Heritage Foundation, and Vice President JD
Vance among the figures taking criticism for embracing or failing to
condemn antisemitic viewpoints. Stefanik was absent from this year’s
Republican Jewish Coalition summit, where various speakers denounced
antisemitism on the right.
Analysis-Hamas is afraid Gaza will become
Lebanon. So is Israel-As the two enemies try to shape the next phase of
the ceasefire, Hamas aims to limit IDF freedom of action, while
Jerusalem seeks to end Hamas’s veto over the Strip’s governance-By Lazar
Berman-6 November 2025, 12:15 pm
After much excitement around
the ceasefire in Gaza last month, plus no small measure of pomp and
circumstance, US President Donald Trump’s 20-point peace plan has lost
much of its momentum.A string of senior US officials making the
pilgrimage to Kiryat Gat — a phrase no journalist ever thought they
would write — injected some energy into the process, but even the
ongoing visits can’t hide the fact that Trump’s vision is encountering
friction at every turn.Still, the process is crawling forward, much of
it the result of Trump’s stubborn determination.Hamas has stretched out
the handover process of slain hostages across the four weeks since the
ceasefire went into effect, but now, only 6 of the 28 bodies the terror
group held on October 10 remain in Gaza.With phase one still incomplete,
no talks have been held on phase two of the deal.Yet the Trump
administration is making sure things are moving in the right direction. A
draft United Nations Security Council resolution has been circulating,
aiming to create a mandate for peacekeeping forces that would make
potential contributing states feel comfortable with the mission.There
are also attempts by Arab mediators, especially Egypt, to cobble
together an interim administration to run Gaza until a permanent
solution is found.Amid the slow jostling of the parties as the truce
shambles toward the second phase, both Israel and Hamas are trying to
ensure that Gaza doesn’t become another Lebanon — but for very different
reasons.Hamas’s fear – IDF freedom of action-The only document Hamas
has signed — the October 9 ceasefire-hostage release agreement ratified
in Sharm El-Sheikh — says “the war will immediately end.”“All military
operations, including aerial and artillery bombardment and targeting
operations, will be suspended,” it reads.That clause is the reason Hamas
accepted the deal, even at the price of releasing all 20 of the living
hostages in its hands. It was facing a resolute IDF push into Gaza City,
with no prospect of the international community or Israeli protestors
stopping it without a comprehensive deal.That ceasefire has largely
held, giving the terror group room to reassert its dominance in the 47%
of Gaza under its control. Its fighters have put their uniforms back on
and are out patrolling the streets, rifles on full display. Operatives
have carried out executions of rivals and alleged collaborators in broad
daylight.Even with that space to breathe and regroup, there are signs
of potential danger for Hamas. Twice, Hamas terrorists have managed to
kill Israeli forces in Rafah. In response to last week’s attack, Israel
carried out airstrikes across the Strip, killing dozens of terrorists,
including commanders in Hamas and other terror groups. Gaza health
authorities reported more than 100 dead in the strikes.That is exactly
what Hamas wants to avoid — Israel enjoying the freedom to decide when
and where to strike, whereas any minor Hamas attack invites a massive
IDF response.That reality, which would be quite comfortable for Israel,
is what abides in Lebanon.Hezbollah was pounded into approving a
humiliating ceasefire officially signed by Lebanon in November of last
year, which set in motion the mechanism for its own disarmament.A “side
letter” of guarantees from the US reportedly affirmed and detailed
Israel’s right to defend itself against renewed threats.Israel has made
enthusiastic use of that right. Since the ceasefire, the IDF says it has
killed over 330 Hezbollah operatives in strikes, hit hundreds of
Hezbollah sites, and conducted over 1,000 raids and other small
operations in southern Lebanon in response to violations by the terror
group.Those strikes have targeted important commanders in the field. The
IDF carried out two deadly attacks on Hezbollah figures on Monday, one
of them killing Muhammad Ali Hadid, who the IDF said was a commander in
Hezbollah’s elite Radwan Force. Israel took out another Radwan fighter
on Wednesday.As Israel steps up its strikes on Hezbollah, with no
response from the once-fearsome Shiite force, Hamas has a clear vision
of what the ceasefire can morph into if it doesn’t find a way to
drastically limit Israel’s ability to target its commanders and its
weapons.Israel’s concern – Hamas as kingmaker-It remains unclear how
Gaza will be run in the coming years, and Israeli leaders and diplomats
are working overtime to ensure that two of its war aims are met.Per
Trump’s vision, Hamas is meant to disarm and step away from any
governance of the Strip.But the terror group is doing everything it can
to avoid giving up its weapons. Senior Hamas officials have made clear
in interviews that they don’t intend to comply.Maintaining its arms will
enable Hamas to prevent Israel from achieving the latter aim of keeping
Hamas away from governance.Hamas seems to have concluded that it can’t
formally rule Gaza for the foreseeable future. But it has already
started playing kingmaker. On Tuesday, top Hamas leader Moussa Abu
Marzouk said that the terror group and the Palestinian Authority came to
an agreement on the makeup of the temporary committee that will manage
the Gaza Strip on behalf of the PA.And it intends to remain the
strongest force in Gaza for years, with no compunction about killing
fellow Gazans. So long as it retains its arms, Hamas can meet any
attempt to install an administration that would threaten it and its
weapons with intimidation, and if necessary, assassinations.This would
mirror Hezbollah’s hold over Lebanon until it was defeated by Israel in
2024. As the most powerful player in a weak Lebanese state, the
Iran-backed terror group monitored government institutions,
universities, airports, banks and private companies. It had operatives
at border crossings and ports, and installed allies and party members
into key ministries to guarantee budgets and divert funds into its own
coffers.“Hezbollah’s use of weapons to intimidate its opponents paved
the way for it to entrench – by force – its special status within the
Lebanese state and thus increase its political influence,” according to
Chatham House’s Lina Khatib.The arrangement provided convenient cover
for Hezbollah. Israel was limited in its military options in Lebanon,
since the Lebanese state had international legitimacy and Israel’s
allies wanted to see it strengthened. Yet that state was controlled by
Hezbollah, which was able to build its military arsenal to threaten
Israel while hiding behind Lebanese institutions, which posed no threat
at all to the Shiite force.As long as Hamas remains armed and organized
in Gaza, it will be operating in a Gaza ruled by a technocratic
administration that it has some veto power over, and that enjoys the
backing of Washington, Cairo, Riyadh, Abu Dhabi, Ankara, and other key
players.The struggle after the war-Though Israel declared victory in
Gaza shortly after Trump announced his plan, the outcome of the two-year
war against Hamas is far from assured.The month since the ceasefire
went into effect has seen the sides jockeying to create facts on the
ground and shift the terms of the truce to meet their own interests.
That struggle will continue, sometimes through diplomacy, often through
violence, and occasionally by slow-walking implementation of the deal,
including the return of hostage bodies.Israel might want to think it
won, but Hamas doesn’t believe it has lost. If the terror group manages
to retain its weapons and its control over who runs Gaza, Israel’s
ostensible victory will dissipate, and Hamas will have been proven
right.
US includes entirety of Trump’s 20-point peace plan in UN
resolution establishing Gaza security force-By Jacob Magid-Today, 2:07
am-NOV 8,25
The US has added the entire text of US President
Donald Trump’s 20-point plan for ending the Gaza war to the UN Security
Council Resolution its looking to pass in order to establish an
International Stabilization Force in Gaza, according to a copy obtained
and verified by The Times of Israel.The 20-point plan was added as an
annex to the resolution, which would effectively enshrine the Trump
proposal into international law.The addition was made over the last 48
hours, a European diplomat tells The Times of Israel.While the US has
held consultations on the resolution this week with other Security
Council members along with the delegations of Egypt, Qatar, Turkey,
Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and the Palestine Liberation
Organization, it hasn’t been open to making any significant changes, the
diplomat says, confirming reporting in The New York Times.One of the
few changes that was made over the past several days was pertaining to
the handover of Gaza’s administration from the US-envisioned Board of
Peace to the Palestinian Authority.Initial versions of the US-sponsored
resolution said the transfer will not take place until the PA “has
satisfactorily completed its reform program, the satisfaction of which
shall be acceptable to the [Board of Peace].”But the latest version
obtained by The Times of Israel says the handover will occur when the PA
“has satisfactorily completed its reform program as outlined in”
Trump’s 20-point plan.The 20-point plan offers little detail regarding
the reform plan, referring to “various proposals, including President
Trump’s peace plan in 2020 and the Saudi-French proposal from earlier
this year.The 2020 plan doesn’t include an explicit reform program but
does have a long list of tasks that the PA is required to meet in order
to be granted a state, including recognizing Israel as a Jewish state —
something that Ramallah has long refused, arguing that it’s 1993
recognition of Israel as part of the Oslo Accords is sufficient.The
French-Saudi plan lists out the reform criteria as the abolishment of
the PA’s controversial pay-to-slay program, removing incitement from
Ramallah’s textbooks and school curriculum, and the holding of
elections.PA President Mahmoud Abbas signed legislation in February
scrapping Ramallah’s old welfare program that included payments to
prisoners based on the length of their sentence, and has pledged to hold
elections within a year of the war ending. He also said in September
that the PA is in the midst of developing educational curricula in
accordance with UNESCO standards and that the reform will be completed
within two years.

Turkey issues arrest
warrants for Netanyahu, other Israeli leaders over ‘genocide’ in Gaza-FM
Sa’ar says Israel ‘firmly rejects’ the charges, notes same Istanbul
prosecutor’s office ‘recently orchestrated the arrest of Istanbul’s
mayor merely for daring to run against Erdogan’By Agencies and ToI Staff
Today, 1:11 am-NOV 8,25
Turkey announced Friday that it had
issued arrest warrants for alleged genocide against Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu and senior officials in his government over the war
in Gaza against Hamas.The announcement was met with a firm rebuttal from
Israel. Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar said Israel “firmly rejects, with
contempt” the charges, calling them “the latest PR stunt by the tyrant
(Turkish President Recep Tayyip) Erdogan.”The Istanbul prosecutor’s
office said in a statement that a total of 37 suspects were targeted by
the arrest warrants, without providing a full list.They include Israeli
Defense Minister Israel Katz, National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir
and IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir.Turkey has accused the
officials of “genocide and crimes against humanity” that Israel has
“perpetrated systematically” in Gaza. Israel has repeatedly rejected
claims of genocide as false and antisemitic.The statement also refers to
the “Turkish-Palestinian Friendship Hospital,” built by Turkey in the
Gaza Strip and bombed by Israel in March. The Israel Defense Force said
at the time that the facility was being used by Hamas operatives and had
“not been used as an active hospital for over a year.”Turkey, which has
been one of the most vocal critics of the war in Gaza and whose leader
Erdogan is a longtime supporter of Hamas, last year joined South
Africa’s case accusing Israel of genocide at the International Court of
Justice (ICJ).A fragile ceasefire has been in force in the devastated
territory since October 10 as part of US President Donald Trump’s
regional peace plan, after two years of war sparked by the Hamas-led
atrocities in southern Israel on October 7, 2023.The Islamist terror
group Hamas welcomed Turkey’s announcement, calling it a “commendable
measure (confirming) the sincere positions of the Turkish people and
their leaders, who are committed to the values of justice, humanity and
fraternity that bind them to our oppressed Palestinian
people.”Stabilization force-Sa’ar said in his post in English on the
social media platform X that “in Erdogan’s Turkey, the judiciary has
long since become a tool for silencing political rivals and detaining
journalists, judges and mayors.”He added that the Istanbul prosecutor’s
office “recently orchestrated the arrest of the mayor of Istanbul merely
for daring to run against Erdogan,” referring to Ekrem Imamoglu, who
was detained in March.Former foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman wrote on
X that the arrest warrants for senior Israeli officials “clearly
explain why Turkey should not be present in the Gaza Strip — directly or
indirectly.”Turkey wants to take part in the international
stabilization force intended to play a role in post-war Gaza, according
to Trump’s plan.But Ankara’s efforts, which include increasing
diplomatic contacts in the region and seeking to influence the
pro-Israel stance of the United States, are viewed unfavorably in Israel
due to Turkey’s ties with Hamas.Israeli leaders have repeatedly
expressed their opposition to any Turkish participation in the
international stabilization force in Gaza.
Hamas hands over body
of presumed hostage to Israel, as 6 families await ID process-Body
apparently held by PIJ, which was 1st to announce handover of remains
that Israel hopes belong to one of Hadar Goldin, Meny Godard, Ran Gvili,
Dror Or, Sudthisak Rinthala or Lior Rudaeff-By Emanuel Fabian-and ToI
Staff 7 November 2025, 11:40 pm
The Red Cross transferred the
body of a presumed hostage from Hamas to Israeli security forces in Gaza
on Friday night.The casket was then brought into Israeli territory and
taken to the Abu Kabir forensic institute in Tel Aviv for
identification.Hamas said earlier Friday that it would return a deceased
hostage whose remains were discovered in Khan Younis in the southern
Gaza Strip.The Hamas statement came after its smaller ally, Palestinian
Islamic Jihad, announced it would hand over the body of a hostage. The
remains were ostensibly first held by PIJ before being transferred to
Hamas for the handover to the Red Cross.Until Friday, there were six
deceased hostages still being held in Gaza.They include Lt. Hadar
Goldin, who was killed fighting in the 2014 Gaza war, and five hostages
whose bodies were snatched to Gaza after they were murdered on October
7, 2023, when thousands of Hamas-led terrorists stormed southern Israel
to kill some 1,200 people and take 251 hostages.The five October 7
hostages are Meny Godard, 73, who was murdered in Kibbutz Be’eri by
Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorists alongside his wife, Ayelet; Master
Sgt. Ran Gvili, 24, who was killed battling Hamas terrorists in Kibbutz
Alumim; Dror Or, 48, who was murdered by Hamas terrorists at his home in
Kibbutz Be’eri; Sudthisak Rinthalak, 43, who was murdered at Be’eri,
where he was an agricultural worker; and Lior Rudaeff, 61, who was
killed near his home in Kibbutz Nir Yitzhak while aiding the local rapid
response team in its battle against Hamas terrorists.As part of the
October 9 ceasefire with Israel, Hamas has released the last 20 living
hostages and the remains of 22 deceased hostages.The terror group has
also returned remains that turned out not to belong to any hostage, and
in one case, remains of a deceased hostage whose remains had already
been partially retrieved by the IDF in December 2023.
Why the Gaza ceasefire will not last-By Susan Michael, Op-ed contributor Thursday, November 06, 2025
In
mid-October, we witnessed the return of the remaining 20 live hostages
after 738 days of pure horror in Gaza, following a 20-point deal crafted
by President Trump together with Prime Minister Netanyahu. Though the
excitement was palpable throughout Israel, it was tempered by
distrust.As Israel celebrated life and homecoming, several questions
stirred beneath the joy: Will the ceasefire hold? Will Hamas honor its
word — or exploit the moment for its own gain? Signs of trouble-Almost
immediately, cracks began to show. Hamas has been dragging out the
return of the remaining deceased hostages, claiming they are too deeply
buried in rubble to be recovered quickly — a clear violation of the
ceasefire agreement. And Hamas's recent statements indicate they have no
intention of disarming, contrary to point three of Trump’s plan.On top
of that, no sooner had the peace deal been accepted and the IDF
withdrawn past the yellow line than reports emerged that Hamas was
executing innocent Gazans who spoke against the terror organization,
including women and children. By late October, Hamas had crossed the
yellow line, killing two IDF soldiers — breaching the ceasefire
again.But where is the outrage? Hamas’ brutality to its own people is
ignored, and the media remains largely silent about the deaths of
Israelis. Obviously, the world couldn’t care less about the Palestinian
people. Its sole interest is in demonizing Israel.Threat of further
war.In response to Hamas’ executions of dissenting Gazans and the
apparent move of Hamas away from its commitment to disarm, President
Trump has continued to threaten the complete eradication of the
terrorist group. In addition, the governments of Saudi Arabia and the
United Arab Emirates (UAE) have similarly threatened to pull out of the
deal if Hamas is not disarmed.While the ceasefire agreement calls for an
international coalition to monitor and maintain the calm, there is only
one force with the capability and intelligence required to disarm
Hamas, and that is Israel. International and Arab forces are
ill-equipped to do the job. Therefore, Israel will have to sacrifice any
improvement in the court of public opinion she has enjoyed after the
ceasefire to return to war with Hamas and complete the job.Hamas is the
obstacle to peace-A terrorist group like Hamas cannot be trusted, no
matter what they may say or sign in English. They are a terrorist
organization driven by a jihadist ideology that views peace agreements
as temporary and only for the purpose of rearming and rebuilding
strength before returning to the mission of jihad. And even if the
US-led international coalition actually succeeds in disarming the group,
the leopard will not change its spots. It will go underground (quite
literally, as much of their tunnel complex is still in place) and
quietly work from within society to build resistance and opposition to a
peaceful Gaza. This is why the group needs to be completely removed and
not just disarmed.So, with the return of the hostages and God’s mercy
in keeping those 20 men alive for two years, we celebrate with all of
Israel — but with caution. The psalmist’s words in 55:21 capture Hamas’
true intent: “The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war
was in his heart.”A call to discernment-The Bible reminds us that not
all who promise peace mean it. Ezekiel and Jeremiah, who prophesied
before and during the Babylonian exile, used almost identical language
to expose those who sought to deceive Israel — saying, “‘Peace!’ when
there is no peace” (see Ezekiel 13:10 and Jeremiah 6:14). Ezekiel
prefaced his warning with God’s words, “They have seduced My people,”
while Jeremiah wrote, “They have also healed the hurt of My people
slightly.”Though originally addressed to false prophets, their warnings
apply to us. We must discern carefully between genuine peace from God
and false assurances from men. Political agreements may create a sense
of calm, but true peace can only come from Him.Although the days ahead
are uncertain, God calls us to be watchful and prepared, to stay awake
and be clear-minded, discerning, and shrewd. Jesus warned His disciples
that He was sending them out as “sheep in the midst of wolves” so they
must be “wise as serpents and innocent as doves” (Matthew 10:16) and
guard against deception (Matthew 24:4).His message is just as urgent
today.A call for prayer-Hamas is just one in a long line of evil men who
sought to wipe out the Jewish people throughout history. The
persistence and mutating nature of this evil have allowed it to crop up
with a new face for new generations. In today’s context, it has taken on
the face of anti-Zionism, and its goal is the eradication of Israel. To
do so, it uses lies and propaganda to demonize the people of Israel and
turn the nations against the Jewish State.This in itself should cause
us to pause and reflect upon the true nature of Hamas and Israel’s need
for robust and proactive self-defense. On October 6, 2023, Israel had a
strong border and a ceasefire agreement with Hamas. That did not stop
the attack on October 7, which Hamas thought would be so successful that
it would be the end of Israel.This time around, Israel needs more than a
border and a ceasefire. It needs the removal of Hamas and the jihadist
brainwashing that has gone on for decades in order to rebuild schools
and a society in Gaza that cherishes peace.This requires much prayer for
the miraculous levels of courage, wisdom, innovation, and international
collaboration needed for Gaza and Israel to be secured and freed from
this evil.Conclusion-To navigate these days wisely, we must be rooted in
Scripture — anchored in truth and comforted by His promises — and
remain steadfast in our defense of Israel and His people.Yes, the
hostages are home. But the fight for truth continues.

Typhoon which killed
almost 200 in Philippines and Vietnam weakens-NOV 6,25-Jonathan
Head,South East Asia correspondent and Sen Nguyen.
Typhoon
Kalmaegi has killed at least 188 people in the Philippines and five in
Vietnam, according to the latest figures from the two countries.The
storm is now headed west to Cambodia and Laos after it barrelled through
central Vietnam on Thursday with winds of up to 149km/h (92mph).Towns
along Vietnam's central coast were littered with debris this morning
after taking the full brunt of the storm overnight.The strong winds
uprooted trees, tore off roofs, and smashed large windows. Thousands of
people sought shelter in schools and other public buildings as the army
was deployed to help deal with the damage.Vietnamese authorities have
warned of possible flooding in low-lying areas. Central Vietnam has
already seen record rainfall in the past week which has killed 50
people.Earlier this week the same storm devastated parts of the
Philippines when heavy rainfall sent torrents of mud down hillsides and
into residential areas. Some poorer neighbourhoods were obliterated by
the fast-moving flash floods.The death toll reported on Friday was a
jump from the 114 reported the previous day. Another 135 people are
listed as missing.The Philippines government has declared a state of
calamity across the country as it prepares for another typhoon which is
building up in the Pacific Ocean.Ahead of Typhoon Kalmaegi, Vietnam's
military on Thursday deployed more than 260,000 soldiers and personnel
for relief efforts, along with more than 6,700 vehicles and six
aircraft.Some airports and expressways in the country were closed and
hundreds of thousands were evacuated.Shortly after the typhoon made
landfall at 19:29 local time (12:29 GMT), hundreds of residents in Dak
Lak province called for help, local media reported.Dak Lak province is
approximately 350km (215 miles) north-east of Ho Chi Minh City.Many
people said their homes had collapsed or been flooded, while strong
winds and heavy rain continued to batter the area.Trees came down in
high winds near Quy Nhon beach in Gia Lai, central Vietnam, as Kalmaegi
approached on ThursdayAccording to local media reports, Prime Minister
of Vietnam Pham Minh Chinh held an online meeting to direct the
emergency response."We must reach isolated areas and ensure people have
food, drinking water, and essential supplies," he was quoted as
saying."No one should be left hungry or cold."Before making landfall in
Vietnam, the typhoon, known locally as Tino, left a trail of devastation
in the Philippines.At least 188 people were killed and tens of
thousands were evacuated, particularly from central areas including the
populous island and tourist hotspot of Cebu, where cars were swept
through the streets.Kalmaegi dumped the equivalent of a month's worth of
rain on the island in just 24 hours, sending torrents of mud and debris
down mountainsides and into urban areas.Stunned survivors who had made
it to higher ground watched as buses and shipping containers were tossed
about in the raging floodwaters.The storm has wiped out entire
neighbourhoods in poorer districts, where building materials are
flimsier.In Talisay City, which suffered some of the worst destruction,
Mely Saberon looked on in despair at the pile of debris that had once
been her home."We don't have any home anymore," she told the BBC. "We
weren't able to salvage anything from our house."We didn't expect the
surge of rain and wind. We've experienced many typhoons before, but this
one was different."Residents have now started the backbreaking task of
cleaning away the thick layer of mud, and picking through the wreckage
for anything that can be used.Early on Thursday, Philippines President
Ferdinand Marcos Jr declared a state of emergency, the threshold of
which involves mass casualty, major damage to property, and disruption
to means of livelihoods and the normal way of life for people in the
affected areas.EPA Lots of families sleep on the floor in what looks

How do hurricanes or typhoons form and are they getting stronger?-NOV 5,25-Mark PoyntingClimate reporter
Typhoon
Kalmaegi - one of the strongest of 2025 - has caused severe flooding in
the Philippines, where it left at least 114 dead, before heading for
Vietnam.Climate change is not thought to increase the number of
hurricanes, typhoons and cyclones worldwide.But warmer oceans coupled
with a warmer atmosphere - fuelled by climate change - have the
potential to make those that do form even more intense. That can
potentially lead to higher wind speeds, heavier rainfall, and a greater
risk of coastal flooding.What are hurricanes and where do they happen?
Hurricanes are powerful storms which develop in warm tropical ocean
waters.In some parts of the world, they are known as cyclones or
typhoons. Collectively, these storms are referred to as "tropical
cyclones".Graphic showing storm tracks of tropical cyclones from
1842-2024. These storms are called hurricanes in the Atlantic and
north-east Pacific, typhoons in the north-west Pacific, and a cyclone in
the south-west Pacific and Indian Ocean.Tropical cyclones are
characterised by very high wind speeds, heavy rainfall, and storm surges
- short-term rises to sea-levels. This often causes widespread damage
and flooding.Hurricanes can be categorised by their peak sustained wind
speed.Major hurricanes are rated category three and above, meaning they
reach at least 111mph (178km/h).Graphic explaining the Saffir-Simpson
scale of hurricane categories. Category 1 has peak sustained wind speeds
of 74 miles per hour and can cause minor damage and potential power
outages; category 2 above 96 miles per hour and can cause extensive
damage to property; category 3 above 111 miles per hour and even
well-built homes will sustain major damage; category 4 above 130 miles
per hour and will cause severe damage to well-build homes; and category 5
has wind speeds above 157 miles per hour and will destroy many
buildings as well as cutting off communities.How do hurricanes form?
Hurricanes, typhoons and cyclones begin as atmospheric disturbances -
such as, for example, a tropical wave, an area of low pressure where
thunderstorms and clouds develop.As warm, moist air rises from the ocean
surface, winds begin to spin. The process is linked to how the Earth's
rotation affects winds in tropical regions just away from the
equator.For a hurricane to develop and keep spinning, the sea surface
generally needs to be at least 27C to provide enough energy, and the
winds need to not vary much with height.If all these factors come
together, an intense hurricane can form, although the exact causes of
individual storms are complex.Graphic of ingredients typically needed
for a hurricane. Ocean surface waters warmer than 27 degrees celsius,
cause hot and humid air to rise, leading to a low pressure zone. Out in
the ocean this can result in winds beginning to spin around the
depression.Have hurricanes been getting worse? Globally, the frequency
of tropical cyclones has not increased over the past century, and in
fact the number may have fallen - although long-term data is limited in
some regions.But it is "likely" that a higher proportion of tropical
cyclones across the globe have reached category three or above over the
past four decades, meaning they reach the highest wind speeds, according
to the UN's climate body, the IPCC.Graphic showing the increasing
number of category three, four and five hurricanes in the North
Atlantic. Each hurricane is displayed as a red dot, organised by year
and category. The hurricanes of 2025 - Melissa, Humberto, Erin and
Gabrielle - are marked on the right.The IPCC quotes "medium confidence"
that there has been an increase in the average and peak rainfall rates
associated with tropical cyclones.The frequency and magnitude of "rapid
intensification events" in the Atlantic has also likely increased. This
is where maximum wind speeds increase very quickly, which can be
especially dangerous.There also seems to have been a slowdown in the
speed at which tropical cyclones move across the Earth's surface. This
typically brings more rainfall for a given location. For example, in
2017 Hurricane Harvey "stalled" over Houston, releasing 100cm of rain in
three days.In some places, the average location where tropical cyclones
reach their peak intensity has shifted poleward - for example the
western North Pacific. This can expose new communities to these
hazards.And there is some evidence the increased intensity of US
hurricanes means they are causing more damage.Assessing the precise
influence of climate change on individual tropical cyclones can be
challenging due to the complexity of these storm systems.But rising
temperatures can affect these storms in several ways.Firstly, warmer
ocean waters mean storms can pick up more energy, leading to higher wind
speeds.Maximum wind speeds of hurricanes between 2019 and 2023 were
boosted by an estimated 19mph (30km/h) on average as a result of
human-driven ocean warming, according to a recent study.Secondly, a
warmer atmosphere can hold more moisture, leading to more intense
rainfall.Climate change made the extreme rainfall from Hurricane Harvey
in 2017 around three times more likely, according to one estimate.The
winds and rain from Hurricane Helene in 2024 were likely worsened by
climate change, scientists at the World Weather Attribution group
found-Finally, sea-levels are rising, mainly due to a combination of
melting glaciers and ice sheets, and the fact that warmer water takes up
more space. Local factors can also play a part. This means storm surges
happen on top of already elevated sea levels, worsening coastal
flooding.For example, it is estimated that flood heights from Hurricane
Katrina in 2005 - one of America's deadliest storms - were 15-60% higher
than they would have been in the climate conditions of 1900.Overall,
the IPCC concludes that there is "high confidence" that humans have
contributed to increases in precipitation associated with tropical
cyclones, and "medium confidence" that humans have contributed to the
higher probability of a tropical cyclone being more intense.How might
hurricanes change in the future? The number of tropical cyclones
globally is unlikely to increase, according to the IPCC.But as the world
warms, it says it is "very likely" they will have higher rates of
rainfall and reach higher top wind speeds. This means a higher
proportion would reach the most intense categories, four and five.The
more global temperatures rise, the more extreme these changes will tend
to be.The proportion of tropical cyclones reaching category four and
five may increase by around 10% if global temperature rises are limited
to 1.5C, increasing to 13% at 2C and 20% at 4C, the IPCC says - although
the exact numbers are uncertain.
'We had to create a human chain
to evacuate' - Jamaican hospital rebuilds after hurricane-NOV 7,25-Nick
Davisin Falmouth, Jamaica
As you drive into Falmouth, there's
still a moat of dirty looking standing water surrounding the town.On the
coastal road, as you slowly push forward in the car, the bow wave
breaks and you are hit by the smell of sewage.Passing cars drive slowly
so as to not send the spray through the window.This part of the historic
town was hit badly by Hurricane Melissa. The regional hospital is on
the low-lying road that is the western route into its centre.It was
flooded as the water swept across the mangrove and into the
facility.Donna-Marie Hamilton-Wallace, the head of nursing at the
hospital, was on duty at the time."It was devastating for the patients
and the staff, the lower level was flooded because of the storm surge
and we had to create a human chain to evacuate them to the higher
level," she said. "It was frightening but I'm glad patients and staff
are all okay."I first visited the hospital the morning after the storm
hit.Orderlies were clearing rubble from buildings, without sleep for
days facing an insurmountable challenge.The high winds had ripped off
the roof of wards and left infrastructure, like its boiler room, under
four feet (1.2m) of water.Now, 10 days later, I'm back and things are
slowly improving.At least 32 people have died since the storm ravaged
Jamaica, causing some $7bn (£5.3bn) in damage, Jamaican Prime Minister
Andrew Holness said.Haiti and other parts of the Caribbean were also
destroyed when the Category 5 storm pummelled through the region.The
heaps of twisted building material and water-damaged equipment is being
cleared by men and women from the Royal Navy and Commandos from the
Army's Crisis Response Troop.There are helping hands, too, from a
Spanish team who are here to build a field hospital.Essential for
getting scrubs clean and bedding washed, the laundry is still in a
terrible state, its roof now just exposed beams. That is the next job
for a group of the Commandos, working out how to fix problems with few
options that desperately need a solution.The team inside the boiler room
includes local workers and Naomi Pearmine, a Marine Engineer.Her job as
a technician is normally to look after the fuel system, the engines and
propulsion of HMS Trent, the Royal Navy offshore patrol vessel that is
tasked with helping here in Jamaica.She normally would not take part in
missions like this, but getting the ignition going is key to getting the
hospital operational.Machelle Stubbs, the chief medical officer at the
hospital, explained how important it is to get help at this point."Many
of our staff are still here, working," she said. "Not getting a chance
to look after their own personal challenges, that compounds the problems
even more. Fortunately we're getting relief from other parts of the
island and other international agencies."Clean-up teams from Jamaica's
health ministry came in last weekend, carried in on Jamaica's bright
yellow public buses to help their colleagues in need.But today it is
help from abroad that is essential.HMS Trent was sent to the Caribbean
to provide assistance to British Overseas Territories and Commonwealth
Nations during hurricane season.First Lt Jacob Mikurenda is the second
in command. He said that for sailors on this deployment it is a chance
to put all their skills together in a situation that's different from
their normal duty.For many sailors, this deployment - to provide
humanitarian aid and disaster relief - was the first land operation of
their careers."It's been amazing to see the resilience and the community
of the people to recover after the hurricane," Mr Mikurenda said.The
scale of the disaster can be seen in the little details as well as the
big ones.The staff hung sheets on make-shift washing lines running along
the walkways to the wards. There are crumpled signs for hospital
departments strewn on the ground and medical records drying on a
tarpaulin between the admin offices.Keriesa Bell Cummings the hospital's
CEO summed it up: "It's traumatising it really is but as the leader
here I have to stay strong."She has been organising people from around
the world - diplomats, helpers from hospitals in other less affected
parts of the island and the country's health ministry - to help with the
efforts.Initially she said she was too busy to be interviewed, but then
she wanted to express that things were coming back to normal."A lot of
material support, relief, tools, labour, food, we asked for it and it's
now coming," Ms Cummings said.Communications are still an issue here in
Falmouth and our region, but there is hope it gets better in the days to
come.WhatsApp and phone are still patchy, making calls difficult and
co-ordination almost impossible.But this week is better than last, a
feeling most Jamaicans are clinging on to.
