❗️France public broadcaster drops Israeli firm from political program project over data concerns
France Televisions scrapped plans to work with Israeli company Terrific on an interactive platform for the relaunch of France 2's political program "L'heure de verite" after concerns were raised over the handling of viewers' personal data, French investigative outlet Mediapart reports.
The platform, called Agora, was intended to allow viewers to submit questions to presidential candidates and participate in live polls when the program returns on 8 October. According to Mediapart, the project could have involved collecting data on the political preferences of users of France Televisions' Franceinfo website.
Terrific CEO Israel Grintz also co-founded a company in 2018 that markets political campaign targeting tools, the outlet said.
France Televisions ultimately handed the project to its own technical teams, saying tests conducted by its editorial and technical departments had not produced conclusive results. Mediapart also reported concerns over Terrific's Shoppable advertising tool, which was removed from the France.tv platform on 3 September after users said antivirus software had flagged phishing and personal-data risks.
France Televisions' technical teams found that the tool collected information including a unique identifier, visited page URLs and content metadata that could be used to build user profiles.

EXC: The director of Russia’s #Irkutsk anti-plague institute was in CHINA just weeks ago for a “cross-border infectious disease” exercise that simulated responses to imported #PLAGUE and “Disease X.”
About five weeks later, an employee of his institute was dead, with nearly 200 contacts reportedly placed under medical observation amid suspected-plague reports.
Chinese government reporting names director Sergey Balakhonov as attending and speaking at the August 24–27 exercise in Fuyuan.

The Chinese exercise involved the following:
• A scenario involving plague arriving from abroad.
• A hypothetical emerging tick-borne disease.
• Chinese and Russian experts rehearsing outbreak notifications, joint risk assessments, and coordinated control measures.
• Nineteen emergency teams, more than 300 personnel, and over 40 emergency vehicles.
And the institute’s Chinese partnerships go back years.
China’s official Inner Mongolia Yearbook records that regional inspection and quarantine authorities signed scientific-research cooperation agreements with the Irkutsk plague institute in 2014.
A Russian government document lists additional cooperation planned for 2020–2021 with the Medical Department of Manzhouli Customs: joint surveys concerning plague and other rodent-borne infections, plus tick-borne disease research.

Prophetic!
The book "Biological War: A Scenario (2026)" by Annie Jacobsen is about a genetically engineered strain of plague leaking from the Vector Institute in Siberia, to explore what would happen in the hours, days, and weeks following a large-scale biological attack!

How amazing that Israeli scientists have just produced the world's first mRNA "vaccine" against the plague just before an outbreak! We are so lucky!

🇫🇷 France: School Protests Turn Violent
Protesters barricaded a lycée entrance with a sofa and set it on fire. BFMTV journalists reported live from inside, describing students as "besieged" with no police or firefighters present.
Casualties & Response
No injuries reported yet, but the situation remains critical. Staff attempted to extinguish flames before giving up due to ongoing attacks from outside. Fireworks were also fired at the building.
Police used tear gas and batons to disperse crowds in other cities, though officers temporarily withdrew, allowing protesters to return.

Were the events of August of 1991 a coup d’état? | Beorn's Beehive
This was perhaps the most striking and dramatic event of the turbulent perestroika period. Top leaders of the state removed Mikhail #Gorbachev, the current president of the #USSR, from power and declared a state of emergency. Armoured personnel carriers on #Moscow’s pavements and barricades around the residence of the President and government of the #RSFSR, the White House, became symbols of the confrontation that took to the streets.
However, a few days later, the political fiesta ended with the unexpectedly rapid surrender of the Emergency Committee and crowded rallies, where supporters of the President of the RSFSR Boris #Yeltsin, who initially called the actions of the Emergency Committee a “right-wing reactionary unconstitutional coup”, noisily celebrated the victory. Three days of “great upheavals”, which effectively became a fleeting epilogue to the entire history of the Soviet Union.

Facilitating the plunder of state properties was a group of American economic advisors led by Harvard economist Jeffrey Sachs. #Yeltsin implemented Sachs’s program of shock therapy—freeing prices and selling off state enterprises—with no regard to the social consequences
The economic disaster of the 1990s caused by shock therapy had dire societal repercussions. The economic collapse led to mass poverty, reduced life expectancy, and a massive decline in living standards. For the majority of Russians, shock therapy meant economic ruin. Some studies have since shown that by the mid-1990s, approximately 40% of the population was living below the poverty line.
