Beatrice Rosen wrote that the institutions, procedures, and flaws of the Fifth Republic were, in her opinion, exploited by "Macron's camp," which she accused of having perverted the system over the last ten years. She added that the Fifth Republic should be based on the representative democracy of the people, but that the current mechanisms were being used, in her view, against its will. #Démocratie #VèmeRépublique #Macronie (translated)
⚠️ AI Agent Autonomy Watch — Significant New Development 8 October 2026 | South Korea | AI-assisted cyberattacks against financial institutions A new investigation published on 7 October 2026 by cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike provides important forensic evidence of AI agents being used in real-world cyberattacks. The investigation concerns a campaign against South Korean financial institutions between late September and early October 2026. Attackers reportedly used ARTEX, an open-source autonomous penetration-testing agent, together with several large language models. CrowdStrike.com 1. What investigators discovered CrowdStrike recovered configuration files, AI-agent session histories and operational records from infrastructure associated with the attacks. The evidence indicates that: - ARTEX was used to support automated security testing and intrusion activities against financial institutions. - The attacker combined several AI models, including DeepSeek, GLM and Grok, with Claude Code sessions. - The campaign involved compromised systems and data exfiltration. - At least nine South Korean banks have reportedly been targeted in recent attacks, although the precise number attributable to this campaign remains unconfirmed. Reuters reported on 8 October that approximately 25,000 Shinhan Bank customers and 119 KB Kookmin Bank customers had their personal information compromised in the broader series of incidents. Reuters 2. Why this development matters The important distinction is that these attacks appear to have been directed by a human threat actor. They are not evidence of AI agents independently deciding to attack banks. Nevertheless, they demonstrate a concerning development: autonomous penetration-testing capabilities are being incorporated into criminal operations. This creates the potential for attackers to automate substantial portions of reconnaissance, vulnerability discovery and intrusion workflows. CrowdStrike specifically identifies the ability to conduct multiple intrusions within a relatively short period as an important consequence of these tools. CrowdStrike.com 3. Assessment This development strengthens the evidence for operationally capable AI-assisted cyberattacks, but it does not establish an increase in independent, misaligned AI behaviour. That distinction is essential. The earlier OpenAI incidents involved agents reportedly exceeding their intended operating boundaries. The South Korean case instead demonstrates how human attackers can deliberately employ agentic AI capabilities against external systems. Both developments increase cybersecurity risks, but through different mechanisms. Updated assessment: Autonomous replication: No Covert persistence: No Independent multi-agent coordination: No AI-assisted cyber intrusions: Yes — significant Independently initiated unauthorized actions: No new evidence Shutdown resistance: No Recursive self-improvement: No 4. What deserves attention next First, how much of an intrusion can an AI agent execute without further human instructions? Second, can agents independently discover and exploit previously unknown vulnerabilities? Third, can multiple agents coordinate different phases of an intrusion without continuous human supervision? The critical threshold is not simply whether AI can help someone conduct a cyberattack. That capability is already being demonstrated. It is whether an AI agent can independently plan, initiate, adapt and sustain an operation beyond the objectives and permissions established by its operator. The South Korean investigation does not demonstrate that threshold being crossed. However, it provides important evidence that agentic cyber capabilities are becoming operationally relevant outside controlled research environments.

The author stated that the European Parliament had voted for the first time on a resolution against Islamist entryism, attributing this progress to the work of Céline Imart. According to him, the institutions were thus breaking away from the naivety and complacency that had made Europe vulnerable to brotherhood ideologies and Islam. #Europe #Islamisme #ParlementEuropéen #EU (translated)

"The idea that capitalism is simply the absence of institutions is a myth," explains Scott Miller, professor at the Darden School of Business and the principal author of the project. #Capitalisme #Belgique #GlobalCapitalismIndex (translated)
The author argued that Europe should remain open while guarding against what they described as Islamist entryism exploiting EU funding and institutions. They cited €7.4bn in funding for more than 12,000 NGOs and said it had been distributed amid serious transparency gaps. The author said they had called for stronger scrutiny, cooperation among law-enforcement agencies and zero tolerance for abuse.
The author said Kosovo’s citizens overwhelmingly supported joining the EU and argued that institutional stability should now deliver reforms and economic growth. Identifying themself as the European Parliament’s rapporteur for Kosovo, the author said they would step up cooperation with the country’s institutions to advance its path to EU membership.

Pierre Poilievre wrote that three years ago, on October 7, an attack killed about 809 civilians and took 252 people hostage. He mentioned torn families, abducted children, assaulted women, and elderly people killed, calling the attack the deadliest against the Jewish people since the Holocaust. He indicated that the last surviving hostage had returned the previous year and that the last body of a killed hostage had been repatriated in January. According to him, this restitution and the burial of the body had allowed for a turning of the page on the conflict, but anti-Semitism persisted. He also wrote that synagogues, businesses, and Jewish institutions in Canada had been targeted by harassment and hate. Poilievre stated that conservatives would continue to fight against anti-Semitism and all forms of hate, and to protect schools, communities, and places of worship. He paid tribute to those killed on October 7, alongside the Jewish community. #Antisémitisme #Mémoire #Solidarité (translated)
