A new Climate March in Brussels, scheduled for October 11 under the slogan "everyone is going," will bring together associations and citizens to demand ambitious political actions in the face of global warming and its impacts, particularly on health, energy, and agriculture. #MarchePourLeClimat #RéchauffementClimatique #CoalitionClimat (translated)

Rok Ravnikar stated that labeling parliamentary investigations as "political police" is mockery of the victims of totalitarian regimes. Among the political police, he included the Gestapo, Securitate, Stasi, AVO, UDBA, KGB, Santebal, Mukhabarat, DINA, and DSA. He added that, in his opinion, those who loudly used this term while glorifying the slogans or leaders of these systems acted perversely. He called for the development of democratic awareness and culture so that people could correctly name phenomena and recognize and reject totalitarian attempts in various forms. #politika #demokracija #totalitarizem (translated)

The author wrote that in Spain, the slogan "We are all Maricarmen" resonated after the eviction of an 87-year-old woman whose rent had increased by 275%. He argued that housing should stop being a market commodity and become an essential need, and described this issue as the "blind spot of power." https://t.co/mNGVbV2F5h #Logement #Espagne #DroitsHumains #ES (translated)

Geert Noels stated that acquired rights were benefits for older generations that were paid for by younger generations, while, according to him, those young people would not get them anymore because they were unaffordable. He added that he found it unfair that such rights were defended with social slogans, while he believed they were antisocial. #verworvenrechten #jeugd #socialerechtvaardigheid (translated)

Sabrina F. wrote that she is Italian and considers Russians to be friends. She described the slogans against the idea that Russia was an enemy or that there was a war with the country as a message of hope spread across Europe and the world, and she urged to continue making that message heard. #Pace #Amicizia #Unità (translated)

Io Conte, NON lo voto. Perché mai dovrei farlo, per passare da una despota ad un opportunista? Articolo in collaborazione con AI DALLA RUSSIA A BIBBIANO, PASSANDO PER IL MIRACOLO DELLA TAP: LE FAKE NEWS E LA PROPAGANDA CHE HANNO COLPITO IL PD. COSA C'È DI VERO O PRESUNTO? Analizzando la recente storia politica italiana, l'ascesa del Movimento 5 Stelle e il violento scontro ideologico con il Partito Democratico si sono consumati su terreni strategici: dalle relazioni con la Russia di Putin al caso Bibbiano, fino alla durissima battaglia contro il gasdotto TAP. In tutti questi casi, il tempo e la giustizia hanno ridefinito i confini tra fatti reali e clamorose fake news. IL CAPITOLO RUSSIA, L'ENIGMA CONTE E LA FORTUNA DELLA TAP: Le ipotesi di un aiuto da parte della Russia di Putin all'ascesa del M5S si muovono sul confine tra relazioni politiche accertate e sospetti mai provati in tribunale. I contatti dei fedelissimi sono documentati: nel 2016 Manlio Di Stefano volò a Mosca al congresso di Russia Unita definendo l'Ucraina "uno stato fantoccio dell'Occidente", e Alessandro Di Battista sostenne a lungo la necessità di assecondare la visione geopolitica del Cremlino. Il punto di massimo interesse per Putin fu l'aspra resistenza del M5S contro il gasdotto TAP in Puglia: bloccare l'opera avrebbe favorito il monopolio energetico russo. Fortunatamente, una volta al governo nel 2018, il Movimento dovette fare retromarcia per evitare penali miliardarie, permettendo il completamento dell'infrastruttura. Oggi, nel pieno della crisi energetica e geopolitica mondiale, la TAP si è rivelata una salvezza assoluta per l'Italia: trasportando miliardi di metri cubi di gas dall'Azerbaigian, è diventata una delle principali rotte che ha permesso al nostro Paese di emanciparsi dal ricatto del gas russo e dal putinismo, calmierando i prezzi e salvandoci dal blackout energetico. Aver fatto l'opera "nonostante" i 5 Stelle è stata la nostra fortuna strategica. Per molti osservatori, l'attuale riluttanza di Giuseppe Conte a inviare aiuti militari a Kiev – che mette a rischio il "campo largo" con il PD – è vista come una "pistola fumante" di questa continuità geopolitica, anche se Conte rigetta le accuse parlando di puro pacifismo per costringere le parti a un tavolo di negoziato. Sul piano VERO c'è stata una forte convergenza comunicativa (con i blog vicini a Casaleggio che rilanciavano i network statali russi), ma sul piano PRESUNTO la magistratura italiana e il Copasir non hanno mai trovato alcuna prova di finanziamenti occulti o illeciti in denaro da Mosca per far vincere il M5S. IL CASO BIBBIANO E IL CROLLO DEL TEOREMA GIUDIZIARIO: Se il caso Russia si è basato su influenze geopolitiche, il caso Bibbiano (l'inchiesta del 2019 sui presunti affidi illeciti in Val d'Enza) è stato l'epicentro di una massiccia campagna di disinformazione utilizzata dal M5S (con Luigi Di Maio che coniò lo slogan "il partito di Bibbiano") e dal centrodestra per abbattere politicamente il PD. La fake news principale fu quella di associare l'intero Partito Democratico a presunti "lavaggi del cervello" e "elettroshock" sui bambini: in realtà, la terapia utilizzata era la legittima psicoterapia EMDR e l'unico legame strutturale con il PD era il sindaco locale, Andrea Carletti, indagato solo per questioni amministrative (abuso d'ufficio e falso) e poi completamente prosciolto. Il ridimensionamento giudiziario è stato totale: le sentenze hanno visto 11 assoluzioni su 14 imputati, smantellando quasi integralmente l'impianto accusatorio. Figure centrali come lo psicoterapeuta Claudio Foti sono state assolte in appello, e i giudici hanno stabilito chiaramente che non vi fu alcun sistema criminale, denunciando come il "clamore mediatico e politico abbia travolto i bambini e i loro familiari". IN SINTESI: La storia recente dimostra che il PD ha dovuto subire due violente ondate di propaganda. Da una parte, i sospetti di un asse Mosca-M5S alimentati da una reale sponda geopolitica originaria (dalle storiche barricate contro la TAP – opera che oggi ci salva dalla crisi energetica – fino alle attuali posizioni di Conte sull'Ucraina) ma privi di riscontri su fondi neri russi. Dall'altra, la drammatica strumentalizzazione di un'inchiesta locale a Bibbiano, trasformata in una fabbrica di fake news elettorali per accusare ingiustamente un partito di crimini contro i bambini, un teorema politico che la stessa giustizia italiana ha infine radicalmente demolito nei tribunali.

A former woke teacher wrote that Nausicaa Marbe described Rob Jetten's performance in her column as staged and lacking authority. According to the teacher, Marbe argued that Jetten's polished "Team Netherlands" rhetoric clashed with a reality that he preferred to keep out of sight. She also supposedly wrote that he emphasized freedom and tolerance mainly when it was politically convenient, and otherwise fell back on slogans, moral self-aggrandizement, and rehearsed brotherhood. #politiek #opinie #maatschappij (translated)

IRAN: MEK/NCRI – when AI impersonated a real activist in live conversations For years, synthetic media has largely meant fabricated images, cloned voices and manipulated video. A case uncovered by Anthropic in September 2026 suggests a more consequential development: artificial intelligence being used not merely to imitate how a person looks or sounds, but to behave as that person in an ongoing conversation. Anthropic says it dismantled a distributed influence operation targeting Iranians inside the country and abroad that it linked to the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran, or PMOI/MEK, and its political front, the National Council of Resistance of Iran. The operators used a shared AI-agent platform to support impersonation, audience profiling, coordinated social-media activity, synthetic personas and the laundering of organisational content through apparently independent accounts. At least four people involved in the operation worked for official NCRI media outlets, according to Anthropic. The company also found references to committee approval processes and MEK leadership, but said it could not independently determine the precise level of central control. Cloning a person from 8,400 Telegram posts The most striking part of the operation involved a real activist whose Telegram identity was copied. According to Anthropic, the operators instructed Claude in Persian that it was now that person, then provided approximately 8,400 of the activist’s Telegram posts so the system could learn and reproduce his writing style. The AI-assisted account was subsequently used to conduct live political conversations with the activist’s existing contacts. Anthropic says that, to its knowledge, the people receiving those messages did not know they were interacting with an account being operated with AI assistance. This is materially different from a conventional chatbot or a static deepfake. The system was not simply producing a forged statement attributed to someone else. It was using a large archive of that person’s authentic language as behavioural training material, then applying the resulting imitation interactively. In practical terms, the deception moved from synthetic content to synthetic identity. Anthropic did not publish the identity of the impersonated activist, nor details of his contacts, and the public report does not establish what specific information the conversations produced. What it does establish is that the impersonation was operational rather than experimental: the cloned account was used in real exchanges with real people. From social-media monitoring to psychographic dossiers The impersonation sat inside a much broader targeting system. Anthropic says the network scraped more than 500 social-media channels and categorised individuals by location, age, profession, political orientation and arrest history. It then analysed approximately 51,944 archived messages from conversations to construct detailed psychographic dossiers on dozens of people inside Iran. The system was therefore not limited to broadcasting propaganda. It was also designed to understand specific audiences and individuals. Profiles could be used to decide what kind of message was most likely to resonate with a particular person, which political identity they appeared closest to and how they should be approached. Anthropic describes this as a structured targeting funnel rather than ad hoc social-media activity. That distinction is important in the Iranian context. Political activists, dissidents and opposition contacts inside Iran can face arrest and severe punishment. The report does not show that the dossiers directly led to arrests or other harm, but collecting and organising information such as arrest history and political affiliation adds a surveillance dimension to what would otherwise be described as an influence operation. A shared AI system for an influence network Anthropic found that the actors used a shared Claude-based platform named “Viktor”, with separate workspaces and persistent memory. Those memory files contained approved sources, prohibited words, account-management instructions and methods intended to reduce the risk of detection. One operator loaded MEK founding doctrine into the system as what the report called “strategic base data”, allowing others to reuse it across their work. This persistent-memory structure meant the AI did not have to be briefed from scratch for every task. Once doctrine, stylistic rules and operational constraints had been stored, the system could repeatedly produce material consistent with the network’s objectives. Anthropic says the same general playbook appeared across different workspaces despite the operators not sharing obvious account infrastructure. The network also used automated pipelines to coordinate Instagram posting schedules and tailor messages to different audiences. Some accounts initially avoided mentioning the Mojahedin at all, allowing material aligned with MEK/NCRI narratives to appear as neutral or independent political commentary. Content was distributed through the organisation’s own media ecosystem as well as accounts presented as ordinary news or activist profiles. Anthropic assessed the campaign as Category Two on its Breakout Scale: active on multiple platforms with distribution through NCRI-linked media properties and amplifier accounts, but without evidence of broad authentic penetration. Synthetic citizens and disguised organisational media The same infrastructure generated AI avatars presented as ordinary Iranians, complete with Persian audio, to promote Maryam Rajavi’s political programme. Anthropic says the synthetic nature of these personas was intentionally concealed. Operators also rewrote and redistributed content originating from MEK-affiliated media while stripping identifying features or presenting it through apparently independent accounts. The network’s political messaging targeted the Iranian government but also rival opposition currents, including monarchists and supporters of the Pahlavi camp. Anthropic documented fabricated video material attacking a member of the Pahlavi family and the use of the slogan “Neither Shah Nor Sheikh”, consistent with the NCRI’s broader competition with other opposition movements. That rivalry provides relevant context. Reuters describes the MEK as one of Iran’s principal organised opposition movements in exile and the dominant force behind the NCRI, led by Maryam Rajavi. Its relationship with other opposition currents is often contentious, while the extent of its support inside Iran remains uncertain. What can be attributed – and what cannot Anthropic’s attribution is unusually specific but still needs to be stated carefully. The company says its investigation linked the operation to MEK/NCRI and established that at least four participants worked for official NCRI media organisations. It also found a common operational playbook, committee review structures and repeated references to MEK leadership. On that basis, Anthropic said central tasking was likely. It nevertheless stopped short of saying it had proven that NCRI’s senior leadership directly ordered or managed every component of the operation. That caveat matters. The strongest public evidence supports describing GTG-84006 as a MEK/NCRI-aligned influence operation involving personnel from official NCRI media, rather than asserting that every action was directly commanded by the organisation’s top leadership. The broader significance of the case lies elsewhere. Earlier generations of synthetic media attempted to fabricate evidence: a photograph, a voice recording or a video. Here, AI was used to maintain an identity over time, remember doctrine, analyse targets and speak directly to real people while appearing to be someone they already trusted. The deepfake was no longer merely an artefact. It had become a participant in the conversation.

Bally Bagayoko said he was caricatured and that some media attributed intentions and statements to him that he had not made. He relayed the interventions of Isabelle Saporta and Alain Bauer, whom he thanked for their honesty. He asserted that combating violence among youth required not to feed it with stigmatizing words, policies of abandonment, or contempt. He stated that he prioritized listening and dialogue, an approach he has indicated he has been implementing for years in neighborhoods and in Saint-Denis–Pierrefitte, with educators, leaders, associations, and youth services. Bagayoko criticized those who, according to him, prioritized buzz and escalation over prevention, blaming culprits without addressing the causes, which he cited as relegation, the weakening of public services, and the lack of prospects for a generation. He said he refused to reduce young people to mere incidents and advocated for firmness against violence as well as against abandonment. According to him, lasting tranquility relied on human presence, dialogue, and social justice rather than on slogans. #JusticeSociale #NonViolence #Dialogue (translated)

"Everything is possible," the AfD slogan for the election in Saxony-Anhalt, could also mean Buchenwald - we didn't make this up, Hape Kerkeling actually said this in the Thuringian state parliament. What exactly qualifies him to be the key witness for an AfD ban procedure will likely remain a secret forever. Shoemaker, better stick to your lasts. #AfD #Wahlen #Politik (translated)

Hape Kerkeling connects the AfD Saxony-Anhalt with the construction of concentration camps due to their slogan "Everything is possible." This is malicious! Anyone who associates political opponents in this way with concentration camps has lost all sense for me. I would never want to see such a person in the office of the Federal President. #AfD #Politik #HapeKerkeling (translated)

INSANITY! Hape Kerkeling connects the AfD in Saxony-Anhalt and thus Ulrich Siegmund with Buchenwald. He claims that if a party uses the slogan "Everything is possible," then Buchenwald would also be possible. Anyone who associates political opponents with "Buchenwald" crosses a line, raising the question of whether alleged political criticism has not long since become a tasteless defamation. Simply unbelievable! #Politik #Diskurs #Meinungsfreiheit (translated)

I want to tell you that Caracol Radio had to cancel a debate on the discussion of abortion because they failed to get congress members or organizations to participate against me in the debate. They say it's with arguments, but they flee from the debate under the slogan: "women's rights are not debated." But in reality, it is the way they impose a vision of such a complex discussion as abortion and the lack of protection for the unborn and the pregnant mother. What happened yesterday, far from being violent (among other things because it was just one among all of them), was a claim. Not only a claim for life but a claim to have the debate exactly where it should take place, which is in the Congress of the Republic. To reclaim the legitimate right I have to be in this space to express something: They cannot speak in my name, nor in the name of the women I represent; not all women promote and defend abortion. In fact, some question it, and I wish they would take the time to listen to those of us who were on that side and today defend life, but especially to those who voluntarily had abortions and now regret it. Being pro-life is not just anti-abortion; being pro-life is a whole worldview, a structural reading of our society. How is motherhood? How is the quality of life? Does insecurity and violence influence decisions like being a mom or not? What happens with the adoption system? What alternatives exist so a woman does not have to resort to abortion? How do we improve the economic capacity of families to care for their children? How do we solve the family crisis? How do we make our country a place that prefers to give life rather than end it? How do we protect childhood from all threats to their life, freedom, and integrity? This needs to be talked about, and we should not shy away from the debate. If they set aside their prejudices, they would realize that questioning abortion is legitimate. #DerechosHumanos #Aborto #Vida (translated)
