The view of the big (!!) CME from Stereo A, about 50° ahead of us in its orbit. The bulk is headed for us and there is absolutely no way this is not a more or less direct hit. Feels a bit like October 9th, 2024.

🇺🇦‼️ NABU and SAP publish recordings of conversations of those involved in a large-scale corruption scheme in Energoatom. A criminal organization has been exposed, which included current and former energy officials. They received 10–15% of Energoatom's contracts, forcing suppliers to pay "kickbacks" for avoiding blocking payments or maintaining supplier status. The scheme was headed by a businessman, and among his "assistants" were a former advisor to the Minister of Energy and the executive director for the company's physical protection. Through official connections, they actually managed a strategic enterprise with an annual income of over UAH 200 billion, although formally they had no authority. The practice was called "shlagbaum" - control over purchases and cash flows through their people.

Syria has foiled two Islamic State plots to assassinate interim leader al-Sharaa in recent months, sources tell Reuters.

Yeah, that's a full halo CME. Looks fast and dense. Serious geomagnetic storm potential with this one! Could very well see G3-G4 from this #aurora

❗️President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that King Charles III of Great Britain helped him establish relations with U.S. President Donald Trump, and also described the British monarch as "very loyal" to Ukraine.

President Trump has pardoned a long list of his political allies for their support or involvement in alleged plans to overturn the 2020 presidential election, including Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell and Mark Meadows. cnn.com/2025/11/10/politics/…

RT @EuromaidanPR: President’s Friend Tymur Mindich: From Kolomoiskyy’s Youngest Partner to Ukraine’s Shadow Curator empr.media/opinion/investiga…

Ukraine’s Western-backed anti-corruption body NABU has posted a teaser for the alleged 1000 hours of recorded conversations that happened in the apartment of Zelensky’s business partner Tymur Mindich and may have involved Zelensky himself. Having raided Mindich’s property today, NABU said it is uncovering a “high-level” corruption ring dealing with energy sector. The current recordings is a series of clips from different conversations between two men identified by code names who converse in Russian. The context of their conversation only makes sense to people in the know (as in Zelensky’s entourage) - the publication appears to be aimed primarily at them. At the end, there is a short remark by a third man code-named Karlsson who says in Ukrainian: “I don’t want to be notified of being a suspect”. All in all, Ukraine continues to live by the same rules as in Kuchma’s time quarter a century ago. Private conversations between leading politicians, recorded by security bodies, serve to trigger political crisis. Security bodies in question (or their elements) keep working as tools of political rivalry between mafia state clans - until of course one of them completes a Putin-esque state capture which Ukraine is perpetually on the verge of. In the fierce battle between the West-backed NABU and Zelensky-backed SBU, the latter is stronger domestically because it controls the entire system of political persecution and repression. But an all-out war on NABU will cost Zelensky Western support of Ukraine. That’s his core dilemma and the leverage the West (e.g. Trump administration) can use in order to achieve specific outcomes. We might have reached a critical point in the Russo-Ukrainian conflict, in a gist.

Corruption scandal in Ukraine: NABU and SAP launch major operation targeting energy sector corruption Ukraine’s anti-corruption agencies have uncovered a criminal organization that for years allegedly influenced strategic state enterprises, including Energoatom. According to NABU, the investigation lasted 15 months, during which detectives collected over a thousand hours of audio recordings documenting connections between officials, intermediaries, and business representatives. Investigators believe the group built a system of kickbacks and financial control over the energy sector. Raids and arrests are now underway across several regions of Ukraine. Detectives from NABU also conducted searches at the home of a businessman close to President Zelensky, Ukrainska Pravda reports. According to the outlet, Tymur Mindich, co-owner of Kvartal 95 Studio and a close associate of Zelensky, left Ukraine on the night of November 10 — just hours before NABU’s search took place. Ukrainian media, citing MP Yaroslav Zheleznyak, also report searches at the homes of the Minister of Justice and former Energy Minister Herman Halushchenko.

BANK OF ENGLAND IMPOSES £20K CAP ON STABLECOINS AMID OVERSIGHT PUSH The Bank of England’s £20,000 limit on stablecoin holdings marks its first major step to control systemic crypto risk under new 2025 powers. Regulators frame the cap as a safeguard, not a crackdown, but industry leaders warn it could stifle innovation and deter capital flows. The move cements the UK’s cautious stance as global crypto oversight tightens. #CryptoRegulation #BankofEngland

Significant coronal dimming biased westward, but there's definitely an Earth directed component in there too. Expecting a westward biased full halo CME in coronagraphs.

Already seeing a sharp increase in electron flux, indicating a CME with a strong shock is lifting off. This combined with the previous CME has some serious geomagnetic storm potential!

Peskov: we want diplomacy but we will continue the war, and it's all Europe's fault! Russia's "peacefulness" in a nutshell. "Of course, we would like this conflict [the Russia-Ukraine war] to end as soon as possible. And it can end when Russia achieves the goals it set initially. For us, it would be preferable to resolve this conflict through political and diplomatic means. But we see that there is now a pause, the situation is at a standstill, and it is not our fault. Our interlocutors do not want to continue the conversation and, in every way possible, are egging on the Europeans, who believe that Ukraine can win the war and secure its interests by military means."

Iran has reportedly developed a new uranium enrichment site codenamed “Pickaxe Mountain” adjacent to Natanz and has refused to allow international inspections of it. In addition, Iran’s missile factories are said to be “working 24 hours a day” in order to mass-produce an arsenal in preparation for a potential Israeli attack. If Israel strikes, Iran plans to drop thousands of missiles on Israel simultaneously as opposed to sending them in waves. Follow: @AFpost
