Press Release: Defense statement from Antonio Tabet regarding the victory at the TSE The defense of actor, presenter, screenwriter, and comedian Antonio Tabet publicly celebrates the recent and paradigm-shifting victory in the Superior Electoral Court in favor of freedom of criticism, opinion, expression of thought, and religion. In judging the case, the TSE Collegiate overturned the concerning initial decisions made by Minister André Mendonça, which risked direct censorship of absolutely true content, humorous expressions, and, even more alarmingly, prayers and requests for blessings to Our Lady Aparecida. In line with the arguments upheld by this Defense from the beginning, the Electoral Court concluded the obvious; that is, it is not lawful for the State to censor factually true content; it is not lawful to censor prayers and acts of faith; it is not lawful to censor opinions or humor. The corrective action of Justice, expressed in the order to exclude content, should be strictly and exclusively limited to publications that are objectively false. We take this opportunity, in respect for the loyalty of public debate and to leave no doubts, to reiterate that: the legislative initiative to remove Our Lady Aparecida from the status of Patroness of Brazil is not authored or proposed by candidate Flávio Bolsonaro. On the other hand, it is a fact that allies (political and religious) of Flávio Bolsonaro publicly defend and promote such an initiative and, in public and notorious cases, promote attacks against institutions linked to the Catholic Church. The free scrutiny of the network of relationships of public figures is a pillar of democracy and cannot be silenced. Furthermore, let this October, the month of Our Lady Aparecida, be the time for the Brazilian people to make their own judgment. Lucas Mourão André Matheus Rodrigo Rollemberg (translated)

If there is a direct attack on Russia - here I am thinking of Kaliningrad, but possibly also other territories - then, of course, the question of the use of all the weapons that our country has at its disposal by Russia would inevitably and immediately appear on the agenda. This is inevitable. Attacks have repeatedly hit targets, and Russian President Vladimir Putin has now publicly acknowledged this in a speech in Moscow. (translated)

THE DESPAIR HAS HIT! Criminals allied with Flávio Bolsonaro intensify the campaign of religious intolerance against the Catholic Church and African matrix religions following the attacks on Our Lady Aparecida. BRAZIL WITH LULA IN THE FLOW TURN OFF GLOBO DO NOT WATCH THE DEBATE NO MORE COUP (translated)

Putin declared that, in the event of a direct attack or an attempt to isolate Kaliningrad, Russia is ready to defend itself with all the weapons at its disposal: "We do not want to scare anyone, but we respond to an attempt to scare Russia." Putin also accused the West of fueling the escalation with exercises in the Baltic and reiterated that Moscow does not intend to attack NATO countries. (translated)

"If Russia were to strike our factories, I would say that it would be a matter of Article 5." The EU Commissioner for Defense, Andrius Kubilius, declared Thursday for TVP World that a Russian attack on such a facility located on NATO territory should trigger the application of Article 5, according to which an attack on one member of the alliance is considered an attack on all. (translated)

"At this moment, due to Ukrainian forces, Russia is not capable of launching any invasion against a NATO member country. It simply cannot do this." However, Lieutenant General Piotr Błazeusz, Poland's military representative in NATO and EU military committees, stated on Thursday that Ukraine's resistance has left Russia without the military capability to invade a member state of the Alliance. (translated)

On the other hand, NATO's Secretary General, Mark Rutte, stated on Wednesday that there is no imminent threat to the territory of the North Atlantic Alliance and that the assessment of the Russian threat remains unchanged compared to three weeks, three months, or a year ago. (translated)

"Regardless of the scenario that will unfold globally in the coming years, the continuation of international conflicts is, unfortunately, very likely. This is partly due to the fact that fundamental changes in progress — and the opportunities they provide — are fueling ambitions and the desire to take risks in hopes of seemingly huge gains.” Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday that the probability of international disputes continuing is very high as the world changes, but that the situation will improve with the decline of what he called "Western hegemony," Reuters reports.

EXCLUSIVE: In the Barça board, the reaction to the Real Madrid play before UEFA is one of complete tranquility and contempt. At Can Barça, they see this move as an act of supreme ridicule, a smokescreen by Florentino Pérez to fulfill his promises to the members, feed the Madridist narrative, and cover up his disastrous start to the season. It’s the same media technique as always, on the level of that alleged ghost offer of 150 million for Julián Álvarez. The Real Madrid goes to UEFA only because it knows that the ordinary Spanish justice and the RFEF will not sanction Barça as there is no criminal evidence. Faced with the impossibility of obtaining a conviction in Spain, Florentino Pérez seeks a shortcut in Nyon. After the official statement issued by the club, all eyes are now on Joan Laporta. The blaugrana president is furious with this maneuver and is seriously considering a public intervention in the coming hours or days to defend the honor of the entity. In private, Laporta is clear: Florentino is only feeding his fans, just as a shepherd entertains his flock. (translated)

My stupid recipe, Doctor Restrepo, achieved the highest employment rate, the lowest rates of hunger and poverty of the 21st century, and some of the highest levels of per capita income in the last quarter of my government in the entire history of Colombia. You and Abelardo today, just as you did in Duque's government during the first month of his administration, shot up unemployment almost to the double-digit figures that you handed over to my government. That's called a step back! It's unfortunate that a part of the Colombian electorate believes that Colombia's destiny is to go backward. Again the IMF, again over-indebtedness that you promoted, Dr. Restrepo, by giving subsidies to the rich and imposing a gasoline subsidy paid with the budget. These days, that is called economic ignorance and anachronism. I propose my support from the opposition to make a great agreement for the equitable progress of Colombia. What allowed us to have the best social economic figures of the century was: 1. Leaving hydrocarbon extraction and moving to real production in industry, commerce, and tourism. Prioritizing production, that is, the transformation of materials to make other materials for a good life for people, automatically raises employment levels and overall productivity. 2. Raising the minimum wage every year to the level of the vital basket for a family. This was demanded by the social doctrine of the Catholic Church in the encyclical "Rerum Novarum" by Leo XIII, and you, as a fervent Catholic, should apply it. In that encyclical and in that of Francis I about the "common home," and in that of Leo XIV about "a dignified Humanity," you would find a comprehensive agreement with the progressivism I lead. 3. A leading role of the state in the economy in strategic matters such as tariffs for industrialization, abundant and cheap credit for small and medium-sized industries, cheap credit for industry, food production, exports, and zero-interest credit for any national industry that produces an increase in Colombia’s computational capacity, energy, and railroads. 4. Leading the decarbonization of the economy through a 100% clean electricity generation matrix, replacing the prohibitively expensive gas with extremely cheap and abundant solar energy in Colombia. Remember that in my government I managed to increase growth in the four years by 500% in the naval industry and 200% in the electric automotive industry. 5. Redistributing another million hectares among farmers and doubling food production in the country to lower the prices of the family basket and increase real wages. You and we can lower the interest rate set by the Board of the Bank of the Republic by configuring another majority in the board that is friendly to production and work. 5. And if you don’t want, Mr. Restrepo, to reach agreements given the mind-numbing sectarianism that predominates, then just remember my advice: work and nature are the sources of wealth, and in Colombia, the real wage as an expression of the value of work allows the expansion of the internal market, both formal and informal, and increases the number of companies and workforce. When the country decides to return to legitimate institutions, it might be too late for you, but these will be the economic bases already experienced with positive data for a national agreement.

Jorch, yesterday the biggest corrupt one, your enemy's father, Andy, came out to defend his son against the accusations that the United States is making against his entire family for fuel theft and their alleged alliances with terrorist cartels. You know there is a crisis in Tabasco; they should have told you, just as they told me. The PEJE is very angry and desperate, that's why he went out to shift blame and tell senseless lies without any shame. The father of the most corrupt man in the country pretends to tell us that he has ended corruption. There is not much more to say, except that it is somewhat pitiful to see a poor old corrupt man still betting on spewing lies, believing that this will save him. He knows that there are audios, videos, and photographs of the meetings they had with their sources of funding. He can only pretend that everything is fine while the truth tightens and catches up with him. We all know that he only came out to distract us from the scandals that are piling up. So, once again, Amílcar, the opportunity to rescue your family and give them a peaceful life is still open. Tell us in front of the cameras everything you want to say. Do it for your children, for your family, and for the millions of Mexicans that you and the PEJE's children affected with everything you stole. In any case, you all know how this will end. Andy and his dad do not respect loyalties; they are only loyal to money; they are criminals and corruptors. Besides, they already have your replacement here, and he will also look for you, though I don’t think it’s to interview you. Think about it. I trust you decide to go from villain to hero and tell us what you know. Follow the example of one of the biggest drug traffickers this country has had, who, through a letter, declared the truth about what happened with CUÉN. Andy and his family only use you to get rich. While they laugh and dine like millionaires in Condesa, you are hiding like a rat. What do you think? Let me know and I’ll send cameras to where you are. (translated)

You can put Bob 13 in the president's chair and nothing will change if the STF continues to be corrupt; one politician alone cannot do anything regardless of their position, and while we fight among ourselves, the pigs of the Supreme laugh in our faces. That said, I would never vote for Flávio Bolsonaro because I think he doesn't even know what he's doing there. ⭐️ (translated)

Iran’s cognitive warfare – when AI becomes the operating layer of state propaganda Iranian state-linked influence operators were not using artificial intelligence simply to write faster social-media posts. According to Anthropic’s September 2026 threat intelligence report, three separate operations connected to Iranian propaganda institutions were using Claude to help construct the machinery behind what the operators themselves called “soft war” and “cognitive warfare” – non-military efforts intended to shape public opinion inside Iran and abroad. Anthropic linked the activity to the Islamic Culture and Communications Organization (ICCO), which operates under Iran’s Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance; the Islamic Propaganda Office of Khorasan Razavi; and the Bina Cultural Observatory, part of the Islamic Propaganda Organization. The company said each operation was run by someone working within or on behalf of the named institution. The attribution was based on a combination of account telemetry, institutional references disclosed during conversations, branded documents and open-source corroboration. Anthropic subsequently removed the accounts. AI as an operational headquarters The most significant feature of the operation was the role assigned to AI. Claude was used to develop campaign plans, doctrine manuals, coded project portfolios, persona systems, target databases, early-warning protocols, amplification schedules and ministerial planning documents. Anthropic described the model as the principal administrative and operational layer supporting the three campaigns, allowing relatively small groups of operators to create organisational structures and planning material that would otherwise have required a much larger staff. This distinction matters. The reported use of AI went considerably beyond content generation. Operators were using the model to help organise how influence activity should function: which audiences to target, which identities should deliver particular narratives, how official material should be repackaged and when amplification should take place. Human operators still determined objectives and supplied the underlying political doctrine; AI helped translate those decisions into an operational system. Anthropic found that all three operations explicitly connected their activity to Jihad al-Tabyin, often translated as “explanatory jihad”, a concept used within the Iranian state system to frame information activity as both a strategic and ideological responsibility. In internal planning material examined by the company, this doctrine was not merely rhetorical: it informed manuals and campaign structures used by the operators. ‘Not the narrator, but the director’ One sentence contained in the ICCO material captures the model particularly clearly. According to Anthropic, an operator described the role of Iranian cultural attachés as being “not to be the narrator, but the director” of the narrative. The distinction reveals the logic of attribution laundering. Instead of publishing an overt state message and asking foreign audiences to believe it, the operator attempts to create the appearance that the same narrative emerged independently from journalists, activists, foreign writers or ordinary citizens. Anthropic found that Claude was used specifically to make content appear to come from foreign authors or independent media organisations and to design hashtag campaigns that looked grassroots rather than centrally organised. The ICCO operation reportedly used the organisation’s international cultural network as part of this structure. Anthropic found ministerial-level documents carrying official ICCO branding, including a nine-part international influence portfolio. This makes the operation particularly significant because the infrastructure was not limited to anonymous social-media accounts; it intersected with formal state institutions and an existing network of cultural representation abroad. A multilingual content factory A second operation was associated with the Islamic Propaganda Office of Khorasan Razavi and what Anthropic described as a “cognitive warfare command room” operating from a seminary in Mashhad. Its organisers ran a multi-province content production system known internally as Manjanegh, or “Catapult”. According to Anthropic, dozens of activists were involved in repackaging publicly available reporting from Iranian security institutions under different personas so that the material no longer appeared directly connected to those institutions. The network used Claude to transform official government intelligence bulletins into customised material in Farsi, Arabic, Urdu, Malay, Spanish and English, while planning expansion into a total of 20 languages. Distribution extended across Iranian platforms such as Eitaa, Bale and Rubika and international services including X, Instagram, Telegram, TikTok and YouTube. Anthropic also documented paid amplification across more than 100 Iranian channels, including channels associated with IRGC narratives. The scale should nevertheless be interpreted carefully. Anthropic documented production infrastructure and some real-world dissemination, but it did not demonstrate that all planned campaigns were fully deployed or that they meaningfully changed public opinion. The company placed the operation in Category Three of its Breakout Scale, indicating multi-platform activity with content observed in external distribution channels, rather than evidence of strategic impact on entire populations. From security bulletins to apparently independent voices The Bina Cultural Observatory operation provides another example of the same architecture. Anthropic linked a director-level official at Bina to activity in which Claude generated messaging in the voice of an IRGC spokesperson. During the 2026 US–Israel–Iran war, the network also attributed false claims to Western institutions including CSIS, Brookings and RAND. The apparent objective was to make Iranian state-aligned claims look as though they had been independently validated by respected foreign research organisations. That technique is more sophisticated than simply publishing propaganda under a false name. It attempts to manufacture a chain of external validation: official information is transformed into apparently independent commentary, which can then be recirculated as evidence that outside observers have reached the same conclusion. Anthropic also found target databases naming international officials and Iranian opposition figures, as well as aggressive counter-narrative material directed against the Bahá’í community. These findings show that the infrastructure was designed not only for broad messaging but also for targeted influence activity against specific groups and individuals. What AI changed The Iranian operations described by Anthropic did not create a new doctrine of influence. Iran has used cultural institutions, official media, aligned organisations and covert or semi-covert online networks for years. What AI changed was the economics and organisational capacity of that model. A relatively small team could use the system to draft doctrine, create personas, translate material, structure target databases, produce campaign calendars and generate multiple versions of the same message for different audiences. The operator remained responsible for intent, political direction and selection of targets. AI reduced the amount of human labour required to turn those decisions into a functioning influence operation. The most revealing part of the case is therefore not that an Iranian propaganda network used a chatbot. It is that AI was being treated as part of the back office of information warfare – a system for converting state doctrine into apparently decentralised, multilingual and plausibly independent voices.

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: In a meeting last night, groups from the São Paulo Situation defined that Harry Massis WILL NOT be the candidate for the presidency at the end of the year. In recent weeks, Massis informed his political allies of his desire to run, but yesterday he was informed that he would not have the support of the other groups. Vinicius Medeiros, from Legião Tricolor, is the favorite. José Edgard Galvão and Mário Braga are also in the running. The meeting also served to define the name of the slate, which will be "São Paulo ahead," with a sky blue visual identity. (translated)
