Gaza Aid Flotilla Approaches Danger Zone

The Global Sumud Flotilla is just a day away from reaching the ‘orange zone’, 150 nautical miles off the coast of Gaza, where there is a high risk of interception by Israel.

Organisers say 42 boats and 532 participants began the final leg of their journey on Saturday evening after several days of delay. But the lead ship, Family, which suffered catastrophic engine failure off the coast of Greece on Thursday, had to be left behind.

Novara Media contributor Kieran Andrieu, who was on board, is now reporting from a different boat, which he said is making good progress through international waters.

He expects to reach the area where Israeli forces have previously illegally intercepted boats – including the Madleen and the Handala, earlier this year – in international waters by Tuesday night.

If the flotilla is not intercepted, it could reach Gaza by Thursday.

On Monday morning, a flotilla boat was evacuated by the Turkish Red Crescent after it started leaking, taking the total number sailing together down to 41, with four more hoping to catch up, including two that are on their way from Turkey.

Navy ships sent by Italy and Spain have been travelling with the flotilla since it left Greek waters. But when the leaking boat was evacuated, journalists sailing with the flotilla noticed a new frigate on the horizon. It was later reported that Turkey had sent its navy to facilitate a Red Crescent operation to distribute additional humanitarian aid to the flotilla boats, and then responded to a mayday call from the ship that was in trouble.

This comes after flight data revealed that Turkish military aircrafts have been monitoring the flotilla, and amid speculation that a joint naval exercise run by Egypt and Turkey in the Mediterranean sea last week was timed to send a message to Israel.

Italy and Spain have both stressed that they will not confront Israel if the flotilla is intercepted, but are there to protect their citizens on board. Turkish authorities said later on Monday that their boats had only provided temporary assistance and would not accompany the flotilla any further.

Yet the presence of several foreign navies already appears to have acted as a deterrent to attacks. After drone strikes last Tuesday night, the flotilla entered Greek waters for safety and stayed there until Saturday, with some organisers claiming they believed a more serious attack was imminent. Participants prepared to face regular drone strikes for the rest of the journey. But on Sunday, the flotilla spent a full night in international waters for the first time since the attacks, and it passed without incident.

Engine failure on Family.


Most of the 30 or so participants on board Family were reallocated to other boats on Friday and Saturday and are still sailing, but at least three left the mission entirely because no suitable alternative was offered, or they were unhappy with how the situation had been handled.

Organisers, meanwhile, moved on to Alma, the largest boat, which has Greta Thunberg and steering committee member Yasemin Acar on board.

Andrieu said his new boat, Adara, is a Spanish-flagged sailing yacht with 22 other people on board, including elected politicians from Argentina and Spain.
Palestinian-French MEP Rima Hassan, who was also on Family, is now on a small boat called Captain Nikos, which is believed to have joined the flotilla at the weekend.

Some people moved off Alma to create space for others, including Irish comedian Tadhg Hickey, who is now on the Meteque, a boat which sailed from Tunisia.

The cause of the engine failure on Family, which had not previously had any serious mechanical issues and was operated by an experienced captain and crew, has not been identified. There are credible concerns that it may have been sabotaged, but initial investigations were inconclusive.

A Turkish engineer sent to determine the cause of the failure told Drop Site News that when he inspected the engine, he found that “all the oil was gone”, but he did not say what might have caused this.

Meanwhile, back in Tunisia, more concrete evidence of foul play has emerged. Authorities announced that a foreign national has been charged in relation to the drone strikes on boats Family and Alma earlier this month. Counter-terrorism police are investigating possible links to Mossad.

A new flotilla.


The Global Sumud Flotilla is no longer the only mission sailing through the Mediterranean to break Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza; another flotilla left Italy at the weekend.

Comprised of eight boats carrying almost 70 people from more than 20 countries, the Thousand Madleens to Gaza X Freedom Flotilla mission is just a few days behind the first.

On board are elected politicians, including MPs and MEPs, from France, Belgium, Ireland, Spain, the United States and Denmark; Irish author Naoise Dolan, who initially tried to join the Global Sumud Flotilla mission but had to pull out after her boat was cancelled in Tunisia; and French-Malian racial justice activist Assa Traore.

“Every boat we launch is a direct challenge to the blockade and a declaration of solidarity,” organisers said in a statement. “We sail not as charity, but as part of the global struggle to end apartheid and affirm the right of the Palestinian people to live free.”

The Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC), which coordinated the Madleen and Handala missions earlier this year, has been sending boats to Gaza for 15 years, while Thousand Madleens to Gaza (TMTG) is a grassroots initiative inspired by the FFC.

Many of the boats, which can all be tracked online, are named after Palestinians, including Al Jazeera journalist Anas Al-Sharif, who was targeted and killed by Israel in August, and paediatrician Alaa Al Najjar, whose husband and nine children were killed in an Israeli airstrike while she was at work.

Perhaps in light of the logistical issues that have beset the Global Sumud Flotilla, the FFC stressed that it is drawing on “years of experience and grassroots organising”. It emphasised that it was foregrounding “maritime safety, legal defence, and communications” to have a “global impact” and to do what “governments, corporations and institutions” refuse to do – “to stop genocide, resist apartheid and demand accountability under international law.”

One boat has not sailed yet, but may catch up with the others: the Conscience, a large passenger ship that was attacked by drones off the coast of Malta in May, shortly before embarking for Gaza. It was too severely damaged to continue at the time, but it has now been repaired. Organisers plan for it to sail with 100 medics and journalists on board.

In a statement, the two organisations said: “For nearly two years, the illegal Israeli occupation has blocked international journalists from entering Gaza, creating one of the most dangerous press blackouts in modern history. During this time, hundreds of Palestinian journalists have been deliberately targeted and assassinated, while many more have been imprisoned or silenced. This boat is our challenge to that silence.”

Another boat has also been sailing separately to the Global Sumud Flotilla since last week. The Omar Al Mokhtar departed from Libya with former prime minister Omar al-Hassi on board, and British journalist Yvonne Ridley. The Global Sumud Flotilla would not let it join their fleet because organisers said it had not gone through the strict vetting and training protocols necessary for all participants.

The boat was then converted into a ‘hospital ship’, with Turkish news agency Anadolu reporting that it has been equipped with an intensive care unit. It is currently believed to be sailing just behind the Global Sumud Flotilla, and it is not on their tracker.

Leadership shakeup at Hope Florida Foundation follows scrutiny of $10M grants for Desantis' political purposes (from Medicaid)


The department also didn’t reappoint board members Stephanie White, a Pensacola adoption attorney, and Tina Vidal-Duart, executive vice president of major state contractor CDR Maguire. Both had asked for more information on the legality of the $10 million transfer during an April board meeting.

The announcement, made during the organization’s board meeting Monday, came as a surprise to observers and wasn’t mentioned in its agenda. But the foundation’s lawyer, Jeff Aaron, said the board members were originally appointed to serve two-year terms, which recently expired.

It fell under scrutiny this year when the Herald/Times began questioning why it held a secret board meeting last year in which it accepted $10 million from a state legal settlement with the Medicaid contractor Centene.

The foundation quickly gave $5 million each to two organizations, one of which was controlled by the Florida Chamber of Commerce.

####Edit:

From the telegram message:

Possible illegal interception by Israel's naval commando unit of the Global Sumud Flotilla may be within the hour. GSF radars currently show a concentration of roughly 12 unidentified vessels, 5-15 miles from the flotilla. Contact has seemingly been disconnected with some GSF vessels, with some experiencing signal jamming. Keep your eyes on those onboard, contact your embassies, and demand your government ends their enabling of Israel's crimes!

I try, I really do, to use public transit whenever I can. But a large majority of the time it will cost over twice the cost of driving, take over twice as long, and the final stop will be over a mile from my destination. Two of those caveats I could probably live with; all three makes it a non starter.

Admittedly, I live in a car centered American city.

Thats exactly why so many people think EVs are the only solution. They have never actually experienced fast, efficient, convenient, and clean public transit. The vast majority of the US thinks public transit equals an hourly bus thats never on time and reeks of piss, and thats a fair view because for many thats all they have ever been offered.

President announces TrumpRx.gov for drugs, and pricing deal with Pfizer (yes, it's a federal website)


President Trump on Tuesday announced a deal with Pfizer to sell its drugs directly to consumers at discounted prices. They'll be available through a website operated by the federal government called TrumpRx.gov. He said similar deals with other drugmakers are in the works.

The new website is part of a broader initiative the administration says is aimed at bringing prices paid by Americans, including Medicaid patients, more in line with those paid in other developed countries. The idea is sometimes called most-favored-nation pricing. Under the deal, Pfizer agreed to charge the same price for new drugs in developed countries and the U.S.



Value of UK arms imported by Israel reached record high in June


An investigation from Channel 4 News has found that the value of UK arms imported by Israel reached a record high in June of this year. That’s in spite of the government announcing in 2024 that they had halted 29 export licences to Israel. Instead, the investigation found that:

"Our analysis of Israel Tax Authority figures shows munitions worth around £400,000 arriving from the UK and passing through Israeli customs in June 2025 – the highest amount in a single month since available records began more than three years ago."

"The exact nature of the items isn’t specified in the records, but they were listed under a category that includes bombs, grenades, torpedoes, missiles and mines. It isn’t possible to identify the end user of the munitions from these statistics."





Probably n00b Question - Mead Brewing


For context, I've dabbled in home brewing. I've made ~4 successful batches based on online recipes. I wouldn't call myself an expert, but also not a complete amateur.

So what happens if you don't rack your mead/wine? I suppose the notion I have is to let it set in primary (assuming there's no fruit/spices to remove after initial fermentation) until its fully clarified before going straight to bottling?

I guess I've assumed there is some problem in the clarification step if you don't "get rid of" the dead yeast that precipitates, but I've never seen anything exploring that as a method.

Can anyone offer their experience?

in reply to DahGangalang

I don't rack clear mead. It settles perfectly after a year or so, wait till laser beam goes through without any scattering, don't agitate the bottle and give it time, mead really gets better on the long run.

Also, the more yeast you have, better is precipitation. Any rush makes imperfectly clear mead that would seem clear but would just settle in bottle later. This is a bad shortcut, don't rake it.

in reply to DahGangalang

Personally, I had beer sitting on its yeast cake for months (in the cooled keg though), without any issue. Also, when bottle conditioning, you'll have some yeast sediment at the bottom, which has never hurt the flavour in my experience, even a year or so of not always cool storage.

If you leave your beverage on the yeast for years, I suppose you risk autolysis, but I'd say you're safe for anything up to a year or so.

Supreme Court lets Lisa Cook remain as a Federal Reserve governor for now (they will hear arguments in January)


The Supreme Court on Wednesday allowed Lisa Cook to remain as a Federal Reserve governor for now, declining to act on the Trump administration’s effort to immediately remove her from the central bank.

In a brief unsigned order, the high court said it would hear arguments in January over Republican President Donald Trump’s effort to force Cook off the Fed board.

The court will consider whether to block a lower-court ruling in Cook’s favor while her challenge to her firing by Trump continues.

The high-court order was a rare instance of Trump not quickly getting everything he wants from the justices in an emergency appeal.

Live updates: Democrats insist upon health care demands as government shutdown begins


Democrats want the health care subsidies extended now, for Republicans to reverse the Medicaid cuts that were enacted over the summer, and for the White House to promise not to rescind congressional spending. Republicans say there’s still time to negotiate on health care this year, but stopgap funding for the government is the priority.

At issue for the subsidies, is that the tax credits have made health insurance through the Affordable Care Act more affordable for millions of people since the COVID-19 pandemic. The credits are set to expire at the end of the year if Congress doesn’t extend them — which would more than double what subsidized enrollees currently pay for health insurance premiums, according to a KFF analysis.

It's just a bullshit game of political pride at this point. Anti-privacy pundits criticised the UK gov for "caving to the US" after they dropped the previous order so now they're doubling down on trying to take away their citizens privacy in the name of standing up to the US. How brave. Not that the US gov gives a shit about privacy either

All I've done so far is add the DNS server to my VPN, Mulvad, and run the install of Next DNS. I have not linked my ID with the OS and can't figure out how to do it. How do I link it? I can't figure out where to set it up. On Android I added to the PrivateDNS in settings. But in Parot OS I can't figure out where that is. I am so sorry to be such a newb here.
