My #sarcasm is like a semitertian fever. The quotidian paroxysm is fairly tolerable, but the tertian intermittent can develop inflammatory responses. I am the only member, a student, of my school of #Zen. If you want to join my school, you are welcome. Go found your own.

FINALMENTE: l'Italia concede l'uso i suoi satelliti militari all'Ucraina!!! ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ Dopo il coinvolgimento di Israele, sembra che anche l'Italia abbia concesso all'Ucraina l'utilizzo dei propri satelliti militari. Il coinvolgimento del nostro paese riguarderebbe i satelliti COSMO-SkyMed, che si occupano di intelligence radar e dell'osservazione terrestre. Nel pacchetto di aiuti militari all'Ucraina (esaminato dal Copasir), il governo italiano ha incluso anche l'accesso alle immagini ad altissima risoluzione fornite da due satelliti della costellazione radar COSMO-SkyMed. Si tratta di un'ottima notizia poichรฉ i satelliti italiani in questo campo sono considerati un'eccellenza. Sfruttando la tecnologia radar SAR, riescono a scovare i movimenti delle truppe e dei mezzi russi in qualsiasi condizione atmosferica: di giorno, di notte, con pioggia fitta o copertura nuvolosa. I termini dell'accordo prevedrebbero che l'uso di questi dati radar sia strettamente limitato alle operazioni di difesa e ricognizione all'interno del territorio ucraino. I dati dei satelliti italiani si vanno ad aggiungere a quelli dei terminali israeliani di hiSky, che nonostante non possiedano una propria costellazione di satelliti in orbita, sono in grado di agganciarsi a diverse reti commerciali globali, e questo permette ai militari ucraini di trasmettere dati, coordinare missioni di droni e correggere le rotte di volo in tempo reale aggirando le restrizioni geografiche o i blocchi del segnale imposti da Elon Musk su Starlink. Questo significa che da adesso in avanti gli attacchi in profonditร  in Russia saranno sempre piรน frequenti. I due flussi di dati, insomma, andrebbero ad integrarsi: da un lato gli ucraini usano la tecnologia dei terminali israeliani hiSky per mantenere stabili le comunicazioni tattiche dei droni al fronte, dall'altro sfruttano gli "occhi" dei satelliti italiani COSMO-SkyMed per la ricognizione e la raccolta di informazioni d'intelligence. Adesso avete capitoperchรฉ i russi, in questi giorni, sono cosรฌ incazzati con noi? #SlavaUkraini

Russia has destroyed the Kolibri rehabilitation centre for children with disabilities in Ukraineโ€™s Poltava region. A direct hit and a huge fire burned out the classrooms, the therapy rooms and the rehabilitation equipment that was unique for the region. What kind of sick country wages war on children who are already fighting battles of their own?๐Ÿ˜ญ

NEW BOMBSHELL! RECEIPTS! Elon Musk missed Sen. Richard Blumenthal's Nov. 5 deadline to explain who restricted Ukraine's Starshield and said nothing. No answers. No documents. The Oct. 22 letter asked 9 questions: who ordered the October restriction, who was told, whether Ukraine was warned, who holds the power to shut off Starshield, and how much of your taxpayer money is in his contracts. The answer: over $2 billion in named Starlink and Starshield contracts, plus a $1.8 billion government-owned Starshield constellation. On Oct. 13, Starshield terminals were capped above 100 mphโ€”the speed drones fly atโ€”after a conversation with Donald Trump, per the Wall Street Journal. Musk says the military decides. On Oct. 27, the Pentagon's inspector general refused to investigate. On Nov. 5, Ukraine's Denys Sienik said Kyiv asked the Pentagon, the White House, and SpaceX: "Nobody provided answers." Volodymyr Zelenskyy says he doubts Musk acted alone. Apartheid Clyde controls the satellites your taxes paid for, and he answers to nobody. Donald Trump didn't give him the powerโ€”ownership did. Mr. Trump gives him protection. The briefing is due Nov. 12. Tick tock. This is the scam. This is the fraud. The biggest Ponzi scheme in historyโ€”your tax dollars, his switch, no accountability. "THE LAST THING AUTHORITARIANS WANT IS AN INDEPENDENT THINKER AND A TRUTH-TELLER. They can handle a crowd. They can't handle one person who thinks for themselves and refuses to shut up. That's why they come for the press, the teachers, and every voice that won't obey. EVERYBODY KNOWS IT."

A Finnish court has sentenced the Russian captain and Azerbaijani boatswain of the cargo ship Fitburg to prison for damaging undersea cables in the Gulf of Finland. Captain Andrei Maksimenko received 3 years and 6 months, while boatswain Vusal Majidov was sentenced to 2 years and 10 months. According to prosecutors, the vessel dragged its anchor along the seabed for 130 kilometres, damaging two telecommunications cables and endangering critical infrastructure. Both men were ordered into immediate custody and must pay compensation for the damage. Finally, some accountability for attacks on Europe's critical infrastructure.

BREAKING: Estonia is now the latest country hit by a cyberattack targeting supermarket refrigeration systems, following incidents reported this morning in Belgium, Sweden, and Luxembourg. Hackers reportedly accessed the control system of a large supermarket chain and remotely raised a freezer's temperature to +50ยฐC. According to Kitman Coldtech CEO Jann Mutso, several clients in Estonia have been targeted. The attack exploited vulnerabilities in older refrigeration controllers. The incident was detected and addressed within approximately 10 minutes, preventing major damage. Major Estonian supermarket chains reportedly using the affected technology include Selver, Rimi, Coop, and Lidl.
