Can a bubble be too big to pop?

>>492240
No.

okay but how can I make money from the incoming disaster?

which non-meme corpo should I invest money in?

>>492303
I would personally recommend buying land, guns, ammo, and food.

I guess if you were looking to invest in something, you might want to go with a company that people will panic buy from. My mind immediately went to shorting before that, though, and I don't know precisely how to predict who to short… or how to make sure that you get paid for a short, since major economic crashes make collecting for cynical bets difficult. Personally, I think this coming crash could be so bad that betting on the success even of industries which people buy a lot from during crises might not even be reliable, but I'm not an investor. I guess I should have led with "I'm not an investor."

JUST IN:

A 14-year-old autistic Palestinian boy from Yafa (Jaffa) was raped and beaten inside Israeli detention, he was detained on 17 October 2025 during a family visit in Ramallah, when Israeli forces stormed the home at 4:30 a.m. and aimed rifles and flashlights at the children, leaving him unable to stand from fear.

His mother confirmed he has a full autism diagnosis and a 100% disability. In a hearing, he informed Judge Tal Levitas of the assault, yet her non-binding recommendation for transfer or increased supervision was ignored; an appeal against prolonging his detention was later rejected by Judge Yaron Levi in Tel Aviv’s Central Court, sending him back to the same cell where the abuse took place.

This case fits a documented pattern in which the Israeli occupation targets Palestinian children with autism, and the photo shows a Palestinian boy after he threw rocks ahead of a breach by Ultra-Orthodox Jews to the shrine of Atnaeil Ben Kinaz in the Palestinian city of Al-Khalil (Hebron) in the Israeli-occupied West Bank on April 16, 2025.

Israeli army launches more air strikes as truce violations continue
Israeli attacks inside the Gaza ceasefire’s “yellow line” of demarcation have hit near the cities of Khan Younis in the south and Gaza City in the north, Al Jazeera correspondents on the ground report.

There were no immediate reports of casualties.

More than a month into the truce declaration, Israel violated the agreement with at least 282 attacks from October 10 to November 10, killing at least 240 Palestinians and wounding more than 600 others, according to an Al Jazeera analysis.

On October 19 and 29 – two of the deadliest days since the ceasefire began – Israel killed a total of 154 people.

Questions loom over UN vote as initial Gaza truce phase nears end
The UN Security Council on Monday is expected to vote on a US proposal for a UN mandate for an international military force in Gaza despite opposition from Russia, China, and some Arab countries.

The first stage of the ceasefire agreement is nearing its end. The next and even more challenging stage calls for the implementation of a governing body for Gaza, and the deployment of an international stabilization force.

UN peacekeepers say Israeli forces fire on them in southern Lebanon
Latest Israeli attack on UNIFIL comes as it continues near-daily strikes on its northern neighbour in violation of yearlong ceasefire.

The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) says Israeli soldiers have shot at its peacekeepers in their latest targeting of UNIFIL as Israel continues to attack Lebanon on a near-daily basis in violation of a yearlong ceasefire in its war against Hezbollah.

Israeli forces on Sunday “fired on UNIFIL peacekeepers from a Merkava tank from near a position Israel has established in Lebanese territory”, the peacekeepers said in a statement, adding heavy-machinegun rounds hit about 5 metres (5.5 yards) from their personnel.

UNIFIL said the peacekeepers were able to leave safely 30 minutes later after the tank withdrew inside the Israeli position.

Israel said its soldiers who fired at UNIFIL did so due to “poor weather conditions” and mistook the UN patrol for “suspects”.

The Lebanese army also issued a statement: “The army command affirms that it is working in coordination with friendly countries to put an end to the ongoing violations and breaches by the Israeli enemy, which require immediate action as they represent a dangerous escalation.”

In September, UNIFIL said Israeli drones had dropped four grenades close to its peacekeepers in southern Lebanon with one landing within 20 metres (22 yards) of UN personnel and vehicles.

Israeli drone strike in southern Lebanon kills school principal: NNA
An Israeli drone strike has killed one person after targeting Lebanon’s town of al-Mansouri, near Tyre.

The Lebanese government’s National News Agency confirmed that “an attack by an enemy drone” in al-Mansouri “resulted in the martyrdom of its school principal, Muhammad Shweikh”.

The drone targeted an area near the football grounds of Imam Musa al-Sadr Stadium, the agency added, and spawned a fire.

A correspondent for Lebanese newspaper Al Akhbar said Shweikh was the principal of al-Mansouri Public School, and that the drone targeted his car.

I'm not sure I have two hours to spend on this, but here's an interesting counterpoint article by Patrick Lawrence from a couple weeks ago. He points out that Platner actually has a lot of working class policies:

https://consortiumnews.com/2025/11/01/patrick-lawrence-my-bigotry-is-better-than-yours/

>>492295
You're going purely by what he says - but Platner's background is as a hired enforcer of the American state. His step brother, and close friend, is an Israeli asset. Platner isn't what he says he is, and his money and material interests are, at best, on the side of imperialist warfare with bigger scraps for workers and, at worst, just with imperialist warfare with the offer of scraps purely being bait to get him into office.

>>492297
>but Platner's background is as a hired enforcer of the American state.
Tbh I should have been more specific when I said this, because it's really his time with Blackwater and the sheer length of his time in the military which seals this for me. His affiliation with private mercenaries makes it all considerably worse. He hasn't even turned against this; he advocates for expansion of the US military and higher pay for members of the military. Instead of taking his military experience and using it to educate revolutionaries, or using his contacts to turn servicemembers, he has decided to run for office on a platform which aims to make it more difficult to turn servicemembers at all, and which uses his past experience as a mercenary as a boast rather than a skillset to lend to a real opposition.

If he was willing to kill for a private, for-profit mercenary group, what immoral things would he be willing to do for the DNC?

>>492298
He just seems like a psychopath to be honest. Someone should inform him he has more in common with Gaius Marius than Smedley Butler.

>>492287
I've taken a while to get almost to the end. I agree with almost everything he says here, except I think that his characterization of what is said in the Chapo clip isn't entirely accurate - particularly, Felix was careful not to even de facto endorse Platner. Will tried to endorse Platner in a "lowkey" way and fell on his face and looked like a stupid idiot, but Felix Biederman decidedly avoided that. BE's still right to criticize them, though.

Jeffrey Epstein and the Mossad: How The Sex-Trafficker Helped Israel Build a Backchannel to Russia Amid Syrian Civil War
Hacked emails show how Jeffrey Epstein and former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak tried to engineer a Russian-led solution to remove Bashar al-Assad.

Jeffrey Epstein facilitated efforts to open a backchannel between Israel and the Kremlin during the Syrian civil war, according to leaked emails from former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak.

The trove of emails, exchanged at the height of the Syrian civil war between 2013 and 2016, reveal Epstein’s successful efforts to secure a private meeting between Barak and Russian President Vladimir Putin to discuss a Russian-brokered end to the conflict, including winning Russian support for a negotiated removal of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

Epstein was an invaluable resource for Israel’s former prime minister, who also served as head of intelligence and defense minister throughout his career, sharing whispers from within Russian elite circles and intel on Putin’s interlocutors in Europe and the U.S—and even advising him on how to engage with the Mossad. Barak, fresh out of his role as Israeli defense minister, built a deep portfolio of investments and business relationships around the world with Epstein’s help.

On February 21, 2014, Epstein wrote to Barak, “with civil unrest exploding in ukraine syria, somolia [sic], libya, and the desperation of those in power, isn’t this perfect for you.” Barak replied: “You’re right [in] a way. But not simple to transform it into a cash flow. A subject for Saturday.”

These efforts also provided cover for covert diplomacy on behalf of the Israeli government. Together, Barak and Epstein sought to pressure the Obama administration to either intervene directly in the Syrian war, or make concessions to the Kremlin in exchange for Assad’s graceful exit. In their exchanges, Epstein expressed his frustration at the Obama administration’s failures to contain Tehran, as the two men searched for opportunities to promote U.S. strikes on Iran.

Despite securing a sit-down with Putin in the summer of 2013, they did not succeed in convincing Russia to support Assad’s ouster, but their negotiations set the stage for U.S.-Russia cooperation on disarmament of Syria’s chemical weapons arsenal a few months later.

Epstein fed questions to Del. Plaskett (Congress, US Virgin Islands) during the Michael Cohen (Trump attorney) congressional hearings in 2019.

His emails to her appear to dictate the things she says.

So what is noam chomskies relation to the files?
Is /ourguy/ pedofag?

>>492300
I doubt that Chomsky was a pedophile, but I have some difficulties making sense of his exact relation to Epstein… maybe in part because what's come out about Chomsky, thus far, as far as I know, has been somewhat less salacious than what's come out about others.

That being said, I've seen it suggested that Chomsky was controlled-opposition, deliberately, and subtly, guiding opinion on the left away from harsher anti-Zionist action and critique of the Zionist lobby and towards DNC entryism. I don't know if that's right or wrong, but if you put a gun to my head I'd probably say it's more likely to be right. I think Chomsky was a really smart guy who said a lot of true things, but that makes him all the more valuable if he's willing to say things which are useful to the people Epstein worked for.

New Age Verification Bills Could Ban VPNs, Jeopardize the Privacy of Millions
In Wisconsin, Senate Bill 130 proposes that sites use “reasonable age verification methods” and requires the publishers and distributors of “material harmful to minors” to prevent access from known VPN IP addresses. Under the bill, entities in violation of the law would be subject to civil penalties. In Michigan, House Bill 4938 takes it a step further and proposes an all-out ban on VPNs entirely. The lawmakers in support of the bill, called the Anticorruption of Public Morals Act, want internet service providers in the state to “actively monitor and block known circumvention tools.” The bill prohibits “the promotion or sale of circumvention tools to access prohibited material.” Violators would be subject to civil and criminal penalties of up to 25 years in prison and fines of up to $500,000 under the proposed legislation.

The immigration debate in Quebec explained
The immigration debate regularly makes headlines in Quebec. The Parti Québécois, which leads the polls, has made immigration one of its main campaign issues. They promise to reduce immigration to relieve pressure on public services, tackle the housing crisis, and slow the decline of the French language. The CAQ has historically made a lot of noise about this issue. But it now finds itself between a rock and a hard place, having presided over a significant increase in immigration despite its promise to “take in fewer but take care of them.” Even the Quebec Liberal Party claims that Quebec’s “integration capacity” has been exceeded. What should be the communist position on this issue?

The Second Sex by Simone de Beauvoir: Conclusion
‘NO, WOMAN is not our brother; through indolence and deceit we have made of her a being apart, unknown, having no weapon other than her sex, which not only means constant warfare but unfair warfare – adoring or hating, but never a straight friend, a being in a legion with esprit de corps and freemasonry – the defiant gestures of the eternal little slave.’
Many men would still subscribe to these words of Laforgue; many think that there will always be ‘strife and dispute’, as Montaigne put it, and that fraternity will never be possible. The fact is that today neither men nor women are satisfied with each other. But the question is to know whether there is an original curse that condemns them to rend each other or whether the conflicts in which they are opposed merely mark a transitional moment in human history. Legends notwithstanding, no physiological destiny imposes an eternal hostility upon Male and Female as such; even the famous praying mantis devours her male only for want of other food and for the good of the species: it is to this, the specPost too long.

Ex-MP Ivor Caplin out on bail — journalist who exposed him on trial

Retired Brighton-based journalist Greg Hadfield is scheduled to face trial this month for exposing an obscene X post by right-wing former Labour MP Ivor Caplin, 67 — while Caplin has again been granted bail after being arrested in a paedophile sting operation.

Caplin is a notorious Israel supporter, former chair of the so-called ‘Jewish Labour Movement’ (JLM) revived in order to fight Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership of the Labour Party. The former Blair defence minister has again been given extension to his bail. He has still not been charged, despite allegedly going to meet (what he thought was) the child and planning to take him somewhere after online discussions about sex.

Despite the arrest, Caplin does not appear to have been suspended by the Labour Party. National ‘mainstream’ media appear to have ignored it, with the right-wing Jewish Chronicle even deleting the report on his arrest that it initially published.

Hadfield, a retired news editor of the Sunday Times, who has written extensively on his personal website about the ‘Labour antisemitism’ scam in which JLM played a leading role, is facing a charge of an offence: “sending by public communication network offensive/indecent/obscene/menacing message/matter” under Section 127 of the Communications Act 2003 for posting a screenshot on X last year showing an example of the explicit gay pornography with which Caplin peppered his (since-deleted) X account alongside posts supporting right-wing Labour.

In the post accompanying the screenshot, Hadfield said that he was sure that another local right-winger “has known about @ivorcaplin’s ‘likes’ – and likes – for a very long time. Why didn’t she say something?” X would usually blur out explicit images unless a user has set to bypass the censorship. He was then interviewed under caution about a complaint from the other right-winger that his post was harassing her. After the CPS formally charged him, he applied for the court case to be halted but was denied. The case will be heard at Brighton Magistrates’ Court on 17-18 November and Hadfield’s donation page for his legal costs is still open.

Caplin is not the only such scandal among the pro-Israel Labour right. In 2023, Hackney right-winger Thomas Dewey was sentenced to just 150 hours community service despite admitting possessing pictures of child rape including tPost too long. Click here to view the full text.
