אזרחי ישראל היקרים,
האסלאם הקיצוני הוא האתגר שמפרק היום מדינות באירופה. זהו האתגר שמאיים גם עלינו. הוא מאיים מבחוץ על ידי איראן וגרורותיה, ומבית על ידי מפלגות אסלאמיסטיות של תומכי טרור.
הם חותרים למחוק את הזהות היהודית של מדינת ישראל. הם אומרים זאת בגלוי. הם חותרים למנוע מאיתנו את היכולת להגן על עצמנו מפני אויבינו.
ואני שואל שאלה פשוטה: מי יוכל להתמודד עם האתגר הזה?
מי שבוודאות לא תוכל להתמודד עם האיום של האסלאם הקיצוני היא ממשלה שתלויה באסלאם הקיצוני ובמפלגות האסלאמיסטיות הללו, ששוללות את עצם קיומה של מדינה יהודית.
צריך רק להקשיב למה שנציגיהן אומרים. הם אומרים את זה בגלוי. הם אומרים: “זה כבוד להיות שהיד, זה הכבוד הנשגב ביותר”. “חמאס הוא ארגון צדקה”. והם מקדישים את ההישגים שלהם בקלפי למחבלי הנוח’בה הנתעבים שיושבים אצלנו בכלא.
לא רק שממשלה כזאת לא תילחם באויבינו, היא פשוט תפרק אותנו מבפנים. זה בנפשנו.
אבל יש ממשלה שכן יכולה להתמודד עם האתגר הזה. ממשלה לאומית רחבה בראשות הליכוד, בהנהגתי, שתכלול את כל מרכיבי הגוש הלאומי ואת כל המפלגות הציוניות שירצו להצטרף.
אמרתי את זה במהלך מערכת הבחירות וחזרתי על זה רק לפני יומיים.
מה שכל כך ברור לכם, לרוב המוחלט של אזרחי ישראל, נדחק הצידה כלאחר יד על ידי ראשי גוש השמאל.
הם עוסקים בהקמת ממשלת מיעוט צרה, ממשלה שנשענת על תומכי הטרור הללו, והם מכריזים מעל כל במה על תנאים בלתי אפשריים שנועדו לסכל מראש כל אפשרות להקים ממשלה לאומית רחבה.
הם מעדיפים את האינטרס הפוליטי שלהם על האינטרס הלאומי.
ואתם יודעים, ואתם מסכימים גם עם דבר נוסף. מוכרחים להגיע לאמת.
ישנם חשדות חמורים למעורבות של מדינות זרות בכסף עצום להטיית תוצאות הבחירות במדינת ישראל.
יושב ראש ועדת הבחירות, השופט סולברג, הנחה את השב”כ לפתוח בחקירה ביטחונית. הוא קבע שיש להסיר את כל החסמים בפני החקירה הזו.
הוא צודק.
חייבים להגיע לאמת במלואה, ללא טיוח וללא דיחוי.
טוהר הבחירות הוא יסוד הדמוקרטיה.
חייבים לשמור עליו וחייבים לשמור על המדינה שלנו.
Under pressure from Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Trump administration may be within days of launching a nuclear strike on Iran. The target would be Pickax Mountain in central Iran, where Israeli intelligence claims the Iranian government has restarted its nuclear enrichment program. No conventional weapon in the American arsenal can penetrate 300 feet of solid granite to destroy the tunnels where enrichment is supposedly taking place. The only military option is a nuclear strike. Netanyahu has been pushing hard for one. “Bibi calls Trump about it every day,” says an informed observer.
Netanyahu is cornered and desperate. After last week’s election results, he can’t form a government unless Trump intervenes directly in Israeli politics and brokers a deal with other parties that gives Netanyahu 61 seats in the Knesset. Otherwise, he is out as prime minister and on his way to ignominy, investigations and possibly jail. Netanyahu must stay close to Trump. He needs this war.
To that end, he’s applied maximum pressure to his closest allies in the administration, including Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and CENTCOM commander Brad Cooper. Both oppose a negotiated settlement to the war they’ve so grievously mismanaged; both are pushing to restart major combat operations. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and CIA director John Ratcliffe are also following Netanyahu’s lead, as are leaders of the Democratic Party. In a recent meeting on the subject, former president Barack Obama said he opposes the current Iran peace deal being drafted in Doha.
The rest of America’s longtime allies in the Middle East are terrified by the prospect of more war. On September 27th, Netanyahu flew secretly to Abu Dhabi to enlist the UAE in his lobbying effort for a final attack on Iran. The Emiratis refused. After eight months of conflict, Gulf economies are teetering. So are global energy and fertilizer markets. They won’t recover soon. Globally, there are a total of about 850 supertankers used to transport oil from producers to the rest of the world. In October alone, 11 of them were badly damaged in Hormuz. At this pace, a global depression is imminent. A nuclear strike would radically accelerate the destruction. Fallout from a ground explosion at Pickax Mountain would contaminate the Persian Gulf, poisoning the water supply for 100 million people.
And those are just some of the immediate consequences for the region. The rest of the world is every bit as exposed. No country other than the United States has ever used a nuclear weapon in war. Some would like to. An American nuclear attack on Iran would set a new precedent. The Russians have already told at least two other governments that an American nuclear strike on Iran would free them to use nuclear weapons against Ukraine. Pakistan and India would be tempted to do the same against each other, as would North Korea against Seoul. After the first nuclear strike, World War Three is inevitable. That war would be short and final.
We’ve been sleepwalking toward this moment for months. Since February, the administration has quietly rewritten America’s nuclear doctrine to make first use of so-called “battlefield nukes” easier and therefore more likely. No one in Washington in either party seems bothered by this. Now we’re on the brink of it.
Close observers say Trump is likely to decide by next weekend whether or not to use nuclear weapons. That would be November 7, six days from now. To his credit, he’s hesitating. At the moment, Trump is listening to his vice president, JD Vance, and to his envoy and friend Steve Witkoff, both of whom argue a deal with Iran can be made.
They’re right, though it won’t be simple. The Iranians are famously frustrating to negotiate with under any circumstances, and elements of that government have become more radical since Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his family were killed in February. After decades of isolation, even relatively moderate Iranian leaders seem confused by how decisions are made in the West. (There is a widespread belief in Tehran, for example, that the United States government controls Israel.) But overall, people who have spoken to decision-makers in Iran say there is consensus there that more war is bad for everyone and a deal is worth making.
One group that hasn’t been consulted so far is the global population — the hundreds of millions of people who will be killed along with their children if Trump is pushed by Netanyahu into launching a nuclear strike next week. Now would be the time for them to speak up.

نظراته الأخيره لكاميرا الدرون قبل الانتحار تحكي الكثير.
@OmnyaMagdy غالبا ده بسبب تجارب سابقه فلازم يتاكد كل شويه عشان بعض المتخلفين بيذلو الدليفري لما بيوصل ف المعاد طبعا انا ضد العبث ده انه يتصل ميت مره بس نعمل ايه 🤷♂️
@DcPro424067@Its_lakshya_ai Nope not same price 180egp is 3 dollars/ month haha
As same as video games stores pricese differ from country to another
And when ppl all go to specific country sometimes they change the price to make it like US standard
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says it’s “quite terrible” that people have so much DRAM sitting in their own PCs instead of being used in data centers.
“Everyone have a bunch of the world’s limited supply of DRAM sitting in their own computer. And be used 5% of the time,”
He argues that cloud data centers should make better use of limited memory supplies instead of people running AI models locally.
If you've ever wondered why smart TVs are so cheap, this is why.
@log4j rooted his Samsung and found an always-on hot mic, automatic content recognition, geolocation, network mapping, ad targeting and user profiling, shared with Samsung's "400 partners".
A lot of it can be blocked in <15 min, wrote a basic guide below.
What your TV is doing
The main culprit is ACR (automatic content recognition). Your TV screenshots what's on screen, fingerprints it, and sends it home to build your ad profile. Samsung does it every 500ms, LG every 10ms [1].
What is insane: it happens on connected devices too.
Plug in your laptop, your console, your work machine, and your TV can fingerprint that via HDMI [1].
He also found that if your Samsung doesn't have a mic, it'll look for one from a connected soundbar or bluetooth device.
https://t.co/vNdTnIQ6KF
It's on by default, and you likely agreed to it on the setup screen you clicked through in 10 seconds.
Step 1: Turn off ACR
Samsung: Terms & Privacy → Viewing Information Services
LG: Live Plus
Vizio: Viewing Data
Roku: "Use info from TV inputs"
Sony/Google TV: Samba Interactive TV
Menus vary by model, but those are the names to look for. While you're in there, opt out of interest-based ads, reset your advertising ID, decline every optional privacy agreement, turn off voice recognition, and delete apps you never open.
Step 2: Give smart devices their own network
Put the TV, cameras, speakers and vacuum on your router's guest/IoT network. The logic is simple: these devices rarely get patched. If one gets compromised (getting drastically more frequent with AI), it shouldn't be able to see your other devices or home network.
Step 3: Block trackers for the whole house with DNS-level filtering
NextDNS (cloud-based) is easy and has a solid free plan. Pi-hole is a little bit more work if you prefer self hosting. For simplicity we'll focus on the former.
1. Sign up at https://t.co/IwhafVWVM8 (free tier is plenty)
2. Privacy tab: add a blocklist (OISD is a good bet) and turn on Native Tracking Protection for Samsung, LG, Roku, Amazon (see attached image)
3. Setup tab: copy your endpoint
4. Paste it into your router's DNS settings as DNS-over-HTTPS/TLS (or use the IPs + "Link IP" if your router only does plain DNS)
5. Bonus: block outbound port 53 except to your router. Some devices hardcode their own DNS to get around you
Then open the NextDNS logs and watch how often your TV phones home. It's eye-opening. If an app or update breaks, find the domain in the logs and allowlist it.
Why they do this
TV prices are down 97% since 2000 [2]. Most of that is better manufacturing and brutal competition. But once margins on the hardware hit zero, the cost moved to you.
In Q3 2024, Vizio lost $6.7M selling TVs and made $115.8M in gross profit from ads and viewing data [3]. They've said on earnings calls that they keep TV prices low to grow the audience they sell to advertisers. Walmart bought them in 2024.
This isn't a conspiracy theory either. Vizio paid $2.2M to the FTC in 2017 for tracking 11 million TVs without consent. Last December, Texas sued Samsung, LG, Sony, Hisense and TCL over ACR. Samsung and LG have since agreed to stop collecting that data without explicit consent [4].
TL;DR
1. ACR off
2. Ads + voice off
3. Smart devices on their own network
4. NextDNS filtering on the router

What’s actually going on in Ukraine is that there is a massive incentive difference between the elites and the people.
The former have grown very rich off the hundreds of billions flowing to Ukraine, while the latter’s children are conscripted to die in trenches.
