“South Korea’s special prosecutor has indicted former President Yoon Suk Yeol on new charges related to his short-lived imposition of martial law last year, including aiding an enemy state. Prosecutors opened a special investigation earlier this year to examine whether Yoon ordered drone flights over North Korea to provoke Pyongyang and strengthen his effort to declare martial law. … Yoon was removed from office by the Constitutional Court in April and is on trial for insurrection and other charges stemming from his failed martial law declaration. If found guilty, he could be sentenced to death.” (11/10/25)

“Here’s what the plaintiffs in [Trump v. Orr] say they’re after: ‘[T]he same thing millions of Americans take for granted: passports that allow them to travel without fear of misidentification, harassment, or violence.’ While the following should be obvious, it has to be said because most people don’t seem to have noticed: Passports don’t ALLOW people to travel, they RESTRICT the ability of people to travel. They’re a relatively recent tool of government control. They’re also wholly unconstitutional. There’s a term for the government holding you in a place you’d rather not be and forbidding you to leave without permission. That word is ‘imprisonment.'” (11/08/25)

“Türkiye’s Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office issued arrest warrants Friday for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and 36 other suspects on charges of genocide related to Israel’s military operations in Gaza. The warrants target multiple high-ranking Israeli officials, including Defense Minister Israel Katz, National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, Border and Security Minister Eyal Zamir, and Israeli Naval Forces Commander David Saar Salama, according to a press statement from the prosecutor’s office dated Nov. 7, 2025. The investigation centers on what Turkish authorities describe as systematic violence against civilians in Gaza.” (11/09/25)

“The Soviet Union did not have the highest death toll of any communist regime. That dubious distinction belongs to the People’s Republic of China. North Korea has probably surpassed the USSR in the sheer extent of totalitarian control over everyday life. Pol Pot’s Cambodia may have surpassed it in terms of the degree of sadistic cruelty and torture practiced by the regime, though this is admittedly very difficult to measure. But all of these tyrannies — and more — were at least to a large extent variations on the Soviet original. … The Black Book of Communism estimates the total number of victims of communist regimes at 80 to 100 million dead, greater than that caused by all other twentieth century tyrannies combined. We appropriately have a Holocaust Memorial Day. It is equally appropriate to commemorate the victims of the twentieth century’s other great totalitarian tyranny.” (11/07/25)

“Ukrainian strikes disrupted power and heating to two major Russian cities near the Ukrainian border, local Russian officials reported Sunday. … A drone strike temporarily caused blackouts and cut heating to parts of Voronezh, regional Gov. Alexander Gusev said. He said several drones were electronically jammed during the night over the city, home to just over 1 million people, sparking a fire at a local utility facility that was quickly extinguished. … A missile strike late on Saturday also caused ‘serious damage’ to power and heating systems supplying the city of Belgorod, with some 20,000 households affected, local Gov. Vyacheslav Gladkov reported the following morning.” (11/09/25)

“Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan in Washington, D.C. represents a significant moment in U.S.-Central Asia relations (C5+1). It was the first time a U.S. president hosted the C5+1 group in the White House, marking a turning point for U.S. relations with Central Asia. The summit signaled a clear shift toward economic engagement. Uzbekistan pledged $35 billion in U.S. investments over three years (potentially $100 billion over a decade) and Kazakhstan signed $17 billion in bilateral agreements and agreed to cooperate with the U.S. on critical minerals. Most controversially, Kazakhstan became the first country in Trump’s second term to join the Abraham Accords. However, behind the big numbers and fanfare of handshakes lies a critical question: is this a real partnership, or just another round of great power competition dressed up in new clothes?” (11/07/25)

“On Sunday, privacy coins put on a show as zcash (ZEC) leapt 12.8% to crack the $640 mark, while monero (XMR) sprinted 21% to sail past $440 per coin. … Analysts say the privacy coin comeback is fueled by mounting global anxiety over surveillance and financial snooping, especially as central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) edge closer to reality. People are flocking to privacy-focused alternatives to keep control of their money. Institutional curiosity is also growing despite the regulatory maze, while capital is rotating into underpriced privacy plays — giving the entire sector a fresh jolt in 2025.” (11/09/25)

“There was something perfect about the Supreme Court’s review of President Trump’s tariff spree the week Dick Cheney passed away. What the court was weighing, after all, was Cheney’s core legacy: the limitless executive power now claimed by Cheney’s Frankenstein monster, Trump. In that sense, Dick Cheney pioneered the Trump presidency. Without Cheney and Addington, no Trump and Vought. Cheney was never a constitutional conservative; he was always an extremist, a pioneer of an elected, unaccountable, and secret monarchy that has reached its zenith in the GOP today. His attempt to cast himself in recent years as some kind of principled, old-school constitutional Republican is classic Cheney: i.e. shameless misdirection, calculated spin, and a big fat lie. But resistance libs have lapped it up.” (11/07/25)
