Alex Pretti's father: Our son was shot and killed by the government, federal immigration agents, on January 24th, 2026. We learned about his death from the media as we saw him being shot repeatedly in the back after helping a woman from his community. This was not a protest that Alex was at. His hands were in the air, and his face was on the ground when he was executed by ICE agents. We know exactly what our eyes saw. No one from the federal government called us on that day. But they did go on TV to tell lies about Alex. No one has called us since. No one has recanted those lies.

SpaceX Blocked A U.S. And NATO Satellite to Assist a Russian Intercept After Crippling Ukraine's Air Defenses
The Math Proves the Reality that Musk doesn't want you to see.
On Oct 13-14, SpaceX restricted Starshield/Starlink during a 39-missile Russian attack, cutting Ukrainian drone intercepts by 23% and stranding U.S. personnel in Kyiv. Forty-eight hours later (Oct 15), SpaceX blocked U.S.-licensed NRO, Space Force, and NATO radar satellite ICEYE-X36 in orbit so Russia's COSMOS 2612 weapon could intercept it (99.89%-99.98% posterior)
Our Model Demonstrates that the Russian intercept of the US/NATO ICEYE X-36 satellite (contemporaneous with the throttling of Starlink) would not have been possible, and almost certainly not been attempted, without SpaceX resources. At a material opportunity cost, Russia sprinted its COSMOS satellite to intercept ICEYE X36. Based on a previous attempt in June during which X36 maneuvered to evade COSMOS, Russia knew that this would be successful only if X36 could not maneuver. On October 15, SpaceX fixed X36 in place by issuing a collision alert for a sub-kilometer approach with its Starlink 35856 when SpaceX's own data shows that the actual distance was 4.8-5.0x as great. SpaceX issued no warning to COSMOS despite the fact that its sprint was far more threatening than the stable X36 orbit. SpaceX did not maneuver its Starlink 35856 satellite to clear the supposed collision risk. How, absent coordination with SpaceX, could Russia have known that SpaceX would take actions that (a) misrepresented the danger posed by X36, and (b) resulted in the fixing of X36 thereby enabling COSMOS's successful intercept? Thus, SpaceX was directly involved in simultaneously compromising Ukraine’s defensive and offensive capabilities. The conjunction of these two events makes innocent explanations untenable.
The Pentagon Capture & Iran Round Two Trap: Pentagon CTO Emil Michael who cashed out $7M–$35M from Musk’s inner-circle SpaceX vehicles (M8/Gigafund 0.1 and M6/Valor M33 II) and KQ Partners / xAI (selling xAIfor $5M–$25M three days before taking over CDAO/OSCand 21 days before SpaceX bought xAI, while keeping M8, M6, M9, M10 & Nomadic open) and Pete Hegseth purged rival Anthropic in two hours, surrendered combat command over US drones used to attack Iran to Starlink’s "Terms of Service," and on October 2 named Musk Co-Director of Project Meridian to design the Pentagon's "Future of Warfighting" just as America enters Iran Round Twowith depleted Patriot/THAAD magazines and Russia feeding U.S. warship/aircraft locations to Tehran.
SpaceX’s actions in Ukraine raise serious questions about its alignment with US security interests and its reliability as a cornerstone of US defense. These questions are particularly troubling given the effectively irreplaceable position SpaceX has been granted by the Hegseth/Emil Michael Pentagon.

BREAKING: NAILED IT! Fearless journalist Mehdi Hasan savages JD Vance for being a shameless racist despite having an Indian family.
This is a knockout punch...
"JD Vance's in-laws' names are Radhakrishna Chilukuri and Lakshmi Chilukuri. I wonder if he tells them this stuff, too. To their faces," Hasan wrote on X, responding to a vile Vance campaign rally clip.
"Or does he just save it for white MAGA rallies? Truly a racist pathetic embarrassment of a son-in-law to his brown Indian immigrant in-laws," he added.
The clip in question showed Vance engaging in the kind of lowest common denominator, xenophobic, gleefully ignorant rhetoric that has defined the Republican Party's messaging this entire election cycle. They know that they can't fix gas prices or improve affordability because of Trump's interminable, disastrous Iran War, so they're mashing the big racist button as hard as they can.
"A very distinctive memory I have of right after 9/11, I was a young man in high school," said Vance. "I remember that sense of pride, you remember that? That all of us had, Democrat, Republican, and Independent in our country. And I remember driving to a local gas station to wait hours in line for gasoline...
"That was now, of course, more expensive because of a region of the world made up of countries of names that I couldn't even pronounce," he said.
The joke there, folks, is that Arabic names are alien sounding and impossible to pronounce for a simple country boy like James David Vance. Who exactly finds this kind of provincial, bigoted material appealing? The infuriating irony, of course, is that while Vance can't "pronounce" Arabic names, he has absolutely no problem dropping bombs on Arabs in Gaza.
This is the deal with the MAGA Devil that Vance has made. He wants to be the leader of a party that is now unashamedly white nationalist, but his entire family is Indian-American. His wife's name used to be Usha Chilukuri. One of his sons is named Vivek.
Vance is so power-hungry that he is actively creating a world that is more hostile to his own flesh and blood. He's a disgusting, spineless creature who can never be permitted to inhabit the White House.
Please like and share if you think that Vance is a disgrace!
What a time to live, we never know any longer whether such BS is true or not.

Well, let’s just say this is not a humanitarian act.
NO! It certainly isn’t.
Attacking ambulances is more than just a war crime.
ELON! The drone operator is NOT some poor lad forced into combat; what you’re saying is just an excuse on your part.

Buď teda Ukrajinci dokázali nějak hacknout systémy SpaceX a používat civilní antény Starlink za pohybu, nebo je Musk lže.
Takže:
1. Rusové od loňského roku načerno nakupovali Starlinky všude možně po světě, ty pak nasazovali na Ukrajině.
2. Problém začal řešit tehdejší ministr obrany Fedorov a jeho tým. Řešením byly bílé seznamy (whitelists), kdy pouze oficiálně registrované terminály mohly být zprovozněny nad území Ukrajiny (kontrolované Ukrajinu nebo okupované Ruskem).
3. Povolené civilní terminály fungují pouze ve stacionárním režimu nebo za velmi nízké rychlosti pohybu (do 90 km/h).
4. Registrovat terminály museli jak vojáci (přes Delta nebo Armija+), firmy a státní zaměstnanci přes portál Dia, civilisté a podnikatelé přes CNAP. Registrovalo se KIT číslo, UTID a číslo účtu.
5. Registrace byla spuštěna 5. února 2026.
A teď to podstatné (a zopakuji to znovu)
Ukrajinští vojáci pro terminály, které se využívají na mobilní cíle ve vysoké rychlosti (typické middle strike drony při zrychlení z rampy nebo třeba drony interceptory), používají službu Starshield.
To je služba, o které Musk říká, že ji kontroluje americká vláda (a všimněte si, že už nepíše, že ji vlastní). Jde o využití stejné konstelace satelitů Starlink, ale s lepším šifrováním, přístupy a tak dále.
Zde je důležité, že za tuto službu neplatí americká vláda, ale vláda německá skrze FMS (Foreign Military Sales, což je proces, přes který Amerika prodává své zbraně, například Patrioty). Ta platí tuto službu do půlky května příštího roku.
Co se omezila, je služba Starshield, tj. terminální na mobilních cílech. Nejde tu teď momentálně o stacionární Starlink, který funguje právě na principech těch bílých seznamů. Proto se Němci ozvali. Proto se Ukrajinci ozvali. Proto si Musk, Rubio, Trump a další přehazují zodpovědnost a matou společnost.
Důvodem není jen to, že v rámci americké společnosti nechtějí ztratit zbytky kreditu, ale taky to, že se vysílá vzkaz spojencům, kterým říkají, že pokud na postu amerického prezidenta bude člověk, který chce lízat ruskou/čínskou/severokorejskou či jakoukoli jinou podrážku, může mechanismus FMS s odůvodněním "národního zájmu" podělat.
A tenhle signál je mnohem horší, protože se Evropané (a vlastně kdokoli, kdo se u Američanů rozhodne nakupovat přes FMS, nebo jiný mechanismus, přes který není možné domáhat se právní ochrany u soudu/arbitráže) budou naprosto legitimně ptát, co všechno v sobě obsahuje kill switch a jak moc jsme schopní nahrazovat americké know how tím svým?
Proto Musk bulí, když Evropané mluví o předělovaní frekvencí pouze pro evropské společnosti. Proto američtí technologičtí giganti jsou nervózní. A proto budou mít problém i americké zbrojovky, které mají díky válce v Evropě žně (nákupy z Evropy jsou největší za desítky let a po 20 letech jsme největšími odběrateli amerických zbraní).
Trump si neuvědomuje, jak velký geopolitický průšvih za sebou zanechá, pro nějakou zdánlivou výhodu, kterou mu momentálně Putin nabízí. Ať už to 300 000 tun nafty, stavba infrastruktury ruskými společnosti pro Aljašku, nebo nějaké shady kontakty, který má Witkoff a Kushner s Dmitrijevem.

Orban, now Vucic. Seems that Putin backed regimes are falling everywhere.
Let's go, America.
JUST IN: Serbia’s longtime leader Aleksandar Vucic conceded defeat in Sunday’s parliamentary election, losing to a student-led opposition movement after two years of protests against his government.
The stunning result ends 14 years of dominance by Vucic and his right-wing party. Backed by Vladimir Putin, Vucic had accused the student movement of being a foreign-backed attempt to oust him.
The opposition is projected to win 135–140 of Parliament’s 250 seats, compared with about 105 for Vucic’s party.
