Once again, a member of President Donald Trump's administration is threatening to punish private citizens for their speech using the power of the government.

Specifically, the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) threatened broadcasters who dare to report on polls the president doesn't approve of. Even if the complaint were valid, it would be difficult to enforce without violating the First Amendment.

"During this election season, there has been a significant surge in entirely Fake Polls and Suppression Polls designed to do nothing more than interfere with the regular functioning of the electoral process and alter the normal patterns of voter turnout and enthusiasm," FCC Chairman Brendan Carr wrote on X. "Many journalists and broadcasters have been amplifying or airing these Polls without regard to basic journalistic ethics and without informing the public that those Polls lack a scientific, accurate, or even real basis."

Carr is directly adopting Trump's terminology, in addition to his erratic capitalization: The president often uses the term suppression polls to describe surveys that don't reflect in his favor. The implication is that these polls are manufactured to conceal or downplay enthusiasm for Trump or his preferred candidates, making it less likely that his supporters will turn out if they think it's a lost cause.

Carr doesn't single out any offenders, though there are some likely examples. This week, purported pollster Wedgewood Polls revealed that as part of an "experimental project," it had released surveys with "fabricated numbers" that were printed by outlets like FiftyPlusOne (which sussed out the fraud) and The New York Times.

Similarly, in August, Median Strategies withdrew two polls, then revealed that it had fabricated the results for a "social experiment."

Each scenario is deplorable. And depending on what promises were made, it's possible one firm or the other could face legal consequences.

But it's hard to see how a news outlet could face legal reprisal for just reporting the results of a survey it thought was conducted accurately.

"The FCC takes these issues seriously," Carr added. "Broadcasters are prohibited by the terms of their federal licenses from engaging in News Distortion or promoting Broadcast Hoaxes. It is important that broadcasters comply with their public interest obligations."

There are indeed rules against news distortion and broadcast hoaxes, but they're narrowly tailored to avoid conflicting with the First Amendment.

"News distortion 'must involve a significant event and not merely a minor or incidental aspect of the news report,'" according to the FCC. In addition, "broadcasters are only subject to enforcement if it can be proven that they have deliberately distorted a factual news report. Expressions of opinion or errors stemming from mistakes are not actionable."

The hoax rule, on the other hand, is even less applicable: It involves "broadcasting false information concerning a crime or a catastrophe," where the broadcaster "knows this information is false" and can foreseeably "cause substantial public harm" but airs it anyway, and the broadcast then "does in fact directly cause substantial public harm."

In other words, neither standard applies to a broadcaster that covered an inaccurate poll, especially without knowing at the time that it was wrong.

"Pollsters who intentionally mislead the public should answer for it, but broadcasters who report publicly available polling data should never be punished when a poll is wrong," Anna Gomez, the lone Democratic FCC commissioner, wrote on X. "FCC rules on news distortion or hoaxes do not apply to a station that reports this data in good faith."

Carr doesn't specify what he thinks should happen to any offenders, though since he tends to define "public interest" as whatever Trump says, we can make an educated guess.

Right before the 2024 presidential election, The Des Moines Register published a poll that found then–Vice President Kamala Harris leading Trump in Iowa by three percentage points. Trump ended up winning the state by 13 percentage points, but he was apparently so upset by the poll that he sued both the Register and pollster Ann Selzer, claiming the inaccurate survey constituted "brazen election interference" that violated the Iowa Consumer Fraud Act.

It was clear at the time that the lawsuit was completely meritless. Just as Carr suggested this week in his social media post, Trump was trying to create an exception to the First Amendment for "fake news."

"In the United States there is no such thing as a claim for 'fraudulent news,'" Robert Corn-Revere, chief counsel at the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, wrote in a motion on the defendants' behalf. "No court in any jurisdiction has ever held such a cause of action might be valid, and few plaintiffs have ever attempted to bring such outlandish claims."

A judge agreed and dismissed the lawsuit last month.

"If someone is accurately reporting the results of a poll, that wouldn't be a false statement," UCLA law professor Rick Hasen told The Washington Post at the time. "The poll might have errors in it, but that wouldn't be a false statement."

That's as true then as it is now. Unless he can somehow prove that a broadcaster knew a pollster had faked a survey, there's no way Carr can punish someone for reporting on the results without running afoul of the First Amendment.

"Brendan Carr is not the journalism police. And he is just about the least qualified person in the country to lecture the press about journalistic ethics," Seth Stern, chief of advocacy at the Freedom of the Press Foundation, said in an emailed statement. "News broadcasters have a First Amendment right to report polling data, even if it proves to be inaccurate, just like they have a First Amendment right to report on Carr and Trump's own countless lies and distortions, even when they turn out to be inaccurate. FCC policies about hoaxes and distortions must be applied narrowly to avoid clashing with the Constitution, if they can be constitutionally applied at all."

Novo protocolo com os Amigos dos Pequeninos aumenta a comparticipação municipal para 50.742,72 euros anuais, assegurando a continuidade de uma resposta que acompanha 63 crianças do concelho.

O Município de Silves reforçou o apoio financeiro à resposta social «Bem Crescer», assegurada pelos Amigos dos Pequeninos, IPSS, através da celebração de um novo protocolo de cooperação, assinado no passado dia 15 de outubro de 2026.

O acordo estabelece uma comparticipação municipal mensal de 4.228,56 euros, correspondente a um apoio anual de 50.742,72 euros, representando um aumento de 32.998,16 euros por ano face ao valor anteriormente previsto no protocolo celebrado em 2006.

Este reforço permite adequar o apoio municipal à evolução das necessidades da resposta social, que acompanha atualmente 63 crianças do concelho de Silves, com idades compreendidas entre os zero e os seis anos, que apresentam alterações no desenvolvimento ou se encontram em situações de risco grave.

A atualização do financiamento reconhece a importância desta resposta para as crianças e respetivas famílias, num contexto marcado pelo aumento das sinalizações, pelo crescimento da procura e pela necessidade de reforçar os recursos técnicos e humanos especializados, de forma a proporcionar um acompanhamento atempado e adequado.

Uma resposta essencial para as crianças e as famílias

A intervenção precoce na infância assume um papel determinante na promoção do desenvolvimento infantil, particularmente nos primeiros anos de vida, contribuindo para a prevenção ou minimização de atrasos no desenvolvimento, o reforço das competências cognitivas, motoras, linguísticas, emocionais e sociais e o apoio às famílias.

A resposta social «Bem Crescer» tem uma presença consolidada no concelho de Silves. A sua origem remonta a outubro de 2001, com a implementação do projeto «Quebra-Nozes», no âmbito do Programa «Ser Criança», tendo sido convertida em resposta social em outubro de 2004.

Desde então, o crescimento das necessidades da população abrangida tornou necessário um reforço progressivo da capacidade de intervenção. A resposta, inicialmente dimensionada para 28 crianças, acompanha atualmente 63, evidenciando a relevância deste serviço e a necessidade de garantir os meios indispensáveis à sua continuidade.

Para o Município de Silves, assegurar respostas sociais adequadas às necessidades da população constitui uma dimensão fundamental da promoção do bem-estar e da qualidade de vida no concelho. Neste âmbito, o apoio à intervenção precoce representa um investimento nas crianças, nas famílias e na construção de uma comunidade mais inclusiva, coesa e solidária.

Reforço da cooperação e do investimento social

O novo protocolo atualiza as condições de comparticipação municipal, tendo em conta a evolução da resposta e os encargos associados à prestação dos serviços. O reforço do financiamento visa contribuir para a sustentabilidade desta intervenção, reconhecendo o papel dos profissionais especializados e a importância da articulação entre as instituições sociais e as entidades públicas.

A garantia de respostas de proximidade, acessíveis e ajustadas às necessidades concretas da população exige um compromisso continuado das entidades com responsabilidades na área social.

Neste sentido, importa assegurar que o crescimento das necessidades de intervenção seja acompanhado pelos meios financeiros e humanos necessários, numa responsabilidade partilhada entre a Administração Central, o poder local e as instituições sociais.

Com este apoio, o Município de Silves reafirma o seu compromisso com a proteção da infância, a valorização das respostas sociais e a promoção da igualdade de oportunidades, contribuindo para que todas as crianças possam beneficiar de condições adequadas ao seu desenvolvimento, independentemente das dificuldades que enfrentam.

O protocolo tem efeitos a partir de 1 de janeiro de 2027 e uma duração inicial de um ano, renovável por iguais períodos, garantindo um enquadramento atualizado para a continuidade da resposta social «Bem Crescer» no concelho, que adota assim o lema ‘investir na infância é investir no futuro de Silves’.

Iran and Russia, both sanctioned to oblivion, are indeed in synch like never before, coordinating everything on a shared front.

Washington, on the Ukraine front, may be switching to total Saving Face mode. After all, the scale of the strategic defeat for the Empire plus the discombobulated West in country 404 is staggering. Add to it the strategic defeat in Iran plus Yemen relentlessly hammering the House of Saud. Grandmaster Lavrov coined it: “The West will never again be the main player, dictating terms.”

The temptation may be great to identify a more straightforward path towards a multi-nodal, polycentric world order – in the wake of all those wild, unprecedented Trump concessions to Moscow. But then the real dark clouds keep coming down.

The death cult in West Asia and the Epstein Syndicate as a whole have managed to overpower the whole mass of neo-con Russophobes spread across the MICIMATT (military/industrial/congressional/intelligence/media/academia/think tank complex, in the memorable definition by Ray McGovern) and reconstitute Iran as the undisputable, one and only national security emergency.

The 7-point way or the highway

Field Marshal Asim Munir’s hasty, last minute-arranged trip from Islamabad to Tehran earlier this week in the end could not possibly mediate anything.

Munir met everyone who matters. He asked Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf point blank: what does it take to find a solution for the Iran-U.S. impasse? Ghalibaf was blunt – and repeated it at last 8 times during their meeting: Washington must implement Iran’s 7-point conditions, essentially a summary of the serially dead cat memorandum of understanding (MoU), which Trump signed and then destroyed.

The 7 points were first proposed to Tweedledum and Twedledee – Witkoff and Kushner – via the Qataris in a previous round of Iran-U.S. indirect negotiations.

President Pezeshkian and secretary of the Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Mohsen Rezaee, in their meetings, stressed the exact same thing. That’s the message Munir should relay to the Sociopath-in-Chief.

Official Iranian sources will not confirm it; only the heavily-spun American version. But Munir may have carried a final U.S. ultimatum to Rezaee, Pezeshkian and Ghalibaf: ditch your nuclear program, or face massive strikes, mostly targeting Pickaxe Mountain.

Adding on the 7 points, Mohsen Rezaee actually informed Munir – and thus the White House – again, that not a single speck of nuclear dust will leave Iran. Back to the only possibility of a return to negotiations: Washington must accept the 7 points.

Foreign Minister Araghchi keeps coming back to the essentials: “The U.S. has failed to achieve any of its war objectives.” So the connectivity chain is inescapable: no military victory (and no regime change); unbearable economic costs; untainable political situation; thus only off-ramp is the 7 points.

And on top of it Tehran runs the clock.

In parallel, across the Yemeni Storm, Sana’a also runs the clock.

With Aramco, the lifeblood of U.S., Israel and Salafi-jihadi goons of the ISIS mould, and a privileged source of funding for the Forever Wars, now in Ansarallah’s direct line of fire, the Yemeni drive is to work “to dry up the sources of terrorism.”

Riyadh though is doubling down, threatening to bomb every gathering of Yemeni tribes. If that happens, more than a million more Yemenis will join the Yemeni Armed Forces and march to the Yemeni-Saudi border.

After all the tribes, well-trained and ultra-weaponized, are just waiting for a directive from Ansarallah’s leader, Abdul-Malik Badr al-Din al-Houthi, to pour into southern “Saudi” Arabia and recover the three provinces, Najran, Jizan and Asir, that are ancestral Yemeni lands stolen by the Brits in 1934.

A price you can’t afford to pay

All hell may break loose: now; soon; or until the end of November at the latest. Were it to happen sooner, before the Israeli elections, it’s a done deal the driver is the death cult. The Sociopath-in-Chief privileges a post-mid-terms attack.

The death cult is preparing a massive attack on Iranian power plants, oil infrastructure, military targets and nuclear installations. Tehran has repeatedly warned that any attack, joint or separate, from the U.S. and Israel, will be treated as Totalen Krieg, all-out war, and the response will break any limits or restraint.

Iran’s internal intel is fully concentrated on a large-scale bombing scenario happening before next Tuesday, Election Day in the death cult.

Whatever happens, Tehran’s response will make sure the price to pay is beyond prohibitive. On Israel, Iran will counterpunch on both of Israel’s refineries; the ports at Haifa and Ashdod; all airbases; and Dimona added only if Iran’s own nuclear sites are hit.

When it comes to a U.S. attack, any Gulf petro-monarchy that hosts any launch instantly becomes a legitimate target, including power grids; desalination plants; refineries; ports; data centers; HQs and installations of American companies.

The Strait of Hormuz would be completely closed. The price of a barrel of oil will skyrocket. The global economy will hit Big Depression. From an imperial point of view, that will be as gloomy as Washington letting Iran manage the Strait of Hormuz and charge fees for transit: actually the humiliating end of unilateral thalassocracy – complete with the U.S. Fifth Fleet needing to ask permission to enter or leave its own dilapidated base in Bahrain.

Mohammad Mokhber, a top adviser to Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, stressed that “if the U.S.-Israel strike our petrochemical infrastructure or power plants, Iran will strike nine countries.”

Moreover, the Fars news agency, very close to the IRGC, learned about an array of new directives: if the attacks involve the assassination of Iranian officials and the killing of civilians, the Iranian response will include political targets associated with the U.S. and all nations participating in the war, in addition to their infrastructure.

Lavrov and Araghchi revive RIC

Amidst so much horror, let’s try to stress at least one auspicious trend. During Lavrov’s recent visit to Tehran, Iranian FM Araghchi cut to the chase:

“Never in our History have Russia & Iran worked as closely as now.”

The key operative concept is “Never in our History”. Lavrov and Araghchi talked about “everything from Europe to West Asia”. But specially these four: Lebanon, Palestine, Ukraine & Yemen. Not to mention everything about expanded economic and “nuclear cooperation”.

Economic cooperation means specially the INSTC – the International North South Transportation Corridor linking 3 BRICS/SCO partners: Russia, Iran and India.

See my INSTC documentary shot in Iran last year.

The Empire of Chaos relies on sanctions, threats and bombing. Eurasia integration relies on building infrastructure, increasing trade, and sovereign cooperation. So Lavrov and Araghchi once again had to revive RIC: the original Russia/India/China connection first conceptualized as the Primakov Triangle but now with Iran in place of India.

Lavrov proposed that the new RIC establish a “common security structure” in the Persian Gulf via a trilateral summit. That amounts to RIC defining a unified framework for the Strait of Hormuz.

The Empire’s response will be increased discombobulation. Because once again this is about “indivisibility of security” – as in Russia proposing it to the U.S. and NATO in December 2021. Then that was met with a non-response response.

On Lebanon, Palestine, Ukraine and Yemen, Lavrov and Araghchi were on top of the top frontlines. Where we have the Empire of Chaos and its allies/vassals on one side, and Russia and Iran’s allies on the other side.

It’s all interconnected, of course. An imperial arc of military pressure stretches from Ukraine to Yemen. The counterpunch revolves around how to coordinate the resistance (italics mine) to such pressure.

On economic cooperation, both Iran and Russia are under a tsunami of sanctions. Their banks are expelled from SWIFT, and oil exports are severely restricted. So trade between them must bypass the U.S. dollar; the whole Western financial system; and the thalassocracy enforced by the U.S. Navy.

Know how in bypassing sanctions is something Iran-Russia may share with the whole Global South, via settlements in local currencies; barter trade; overland corridors; the INSTC; and trade across the Caspian Sea.

And that brings us once again to the Strait of Hormuz – which Iran controls. The Gulf petro-monarchies are completely freaking out. Russia maintains solid channels with both Iran and the Gulf. Lavrov is in total synch with all of them. He brought the Gulf’s concerns to Tehran, and in turn, conveyed Tehran’s conditions back to the Gulf.

Lavrov stressed that the serially dead cat Islamabad MoU is the only way to go. Exactly what Xi told Trump at the Oval Office. Exactly what the Iranian leadership told Asim Munir in Tehran.

He also stressed that the Persian Gulf petro-monarchies must get their act together and start a serious security dialogue with Iran and Arab nations, including neighbors such as Iraq and Jordan, and involve the Arab League, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), and the permanent members of the UN Security Council.

Once again: indivisibility of security.

Iran and Russia, both sanctioned to oblivion, are indeed in synch like never before, coordinating everything on a shared front – while the desperate Epstein Syndicate remains stuck in its self-concocted Forever War nightmare.

Revolut sufrió este martes 20 de octubre una caída global que afectó a varias de sus funciones, dejando durante unas horas a clientes y negocios sin poder procesar pagos con tarjeta ni transferencias. La causa fue un corte eléctrico en un centro de datos de Google Cloud en Londres. A pesar de que no se trató de un ciberataque, esta interrupción del servicio puso de relieve el impacto que puede tener un fallo técnico en un proveedor del que dependen miles de empresas.

"Cualquier empresa que vende, cobra o atiende a sus clientes por internet depende de terceros: su banco, su proveedor de nube, su pasarela de pago. La seguridad absoluta no existe, y por eso hay que pensar qué pasa el día que algo falla, venga de un ataque o de una avería", explica José Manuel Sánchez Trallero, director de Master Mutua.

La preocupación aparece también en los datos. El Informe de Ciberpreparación 2026 de Hiscox, publicado en septiembre, señala que el 38% de las empresas españolas sufrió al menos un ciberataque con éxito durante el último año. Además, la mitad considera la interrupción de la actividad uno de sus principales riesgos, mientras que el 43% menciona los incidentes en la cadena de suministro o en proveedores externos.

Por su parte, el Barómetro de Riesgos de Allianz 2026 sitúa los ciberincidentes como la principal preocupación para el 48% de las empresas españolas.

Solo el 25% de las pymes tiene ciberseguro

Las pequeñas y medianas empresas afrontan estos riesgos con menos cobertura que las grandes compañías. Según datos de la consultora Qaracter publicados en marzo de 2026, el 75% de las grandes empresas cuenta con una póliza de ciberseguro, frente a solo el 25% de las pymes.

La exposición también es elevada. El 59% de las pymes sufrió un ciberataque en el último año y, entre las afectadas, un 33% recibió una sanción económica. El informe Inside the 2026 SMB Threat Landscape, elaborado por Kaspersky con datos de 18 países, eleva al 86% la proporción de pymes españolas de entre 100 y 499 empleados que registró algún incidente en el último año. El phishing afectó al 27%, siete puntos por encima de la media mundial, y el 20% sufrió ataques a través de su cadena de suministro.

"Una pyme tiene la misma exposición que una gran empresa y muchos menos recursos para recuperarse. Con más de la mitad atacadas en el último año y solo una de cada cuatro asegurada, muchas están asumiendo un riesgo que no han calculado", advierte Sánchez Trallero.

Más incidentes y sistemas vulnerables

En 2025, el Instituto Nacional de Ciberseguridad (Incibe) gestionó 122.223 incidentes en España, un 26% más que en 2024, y detectó 237.028 sistemas vulnerables.

Miguel Ortega Haro, director de Procesos y Seguridad de cdmon, ha señalado que muchas vulnerabilidades no requieren "una gran inversión para cerrarse, basta con actualizar, revisar configuraciones y retirar lo que ya no se usa".

Las compañías también están reforzando las medidas que exigen las aseguradoras para emitir una póliza o cubrir un siniestro. Entre ellas figuran la autenticación de doble factor y las copias de seguridad verificadas. Ortega Haro recomienda, además, segmentar la red y limitar los accesos y privilegios de cada usuario.

Revisar la cobertura ante fallos de proveedores

El mercado español de ciberseguros crece, aunque todavía tiene un tamaño reducido. Las primas alcanzaron los 190 millones de euros en 2024, un 12% más que el año anterior, según el Estudio Anual de Aon sobre Ciberseguridad y Gestión del Riesgo Ciber, publicado en julio de 2025. El ransomware concentró el 42% del coste de los siniestros.

Sin embargo, contar con una póliza no garantiza que cualquier interrupción esté cubierta. Algunas aseguran la pérdida de beneficios después de un ciberataque, pero pueden excluir los fallos de sistemas o las incidencias que se originan en proveedores externos.

"Al contratar un ciberseguro conviene comprobar que cubre la interrupción de la actividad, también cuando el fallo viene de un proveedor", recomienda Sánchez Trallero. "Como corredores, revisamos con cada cliente qué cubre la póliza, con qué límites y qué le pide la aseguradora a cambio. Hay pólizas que cubren la pérdida de beneficios tras un ataque, pero no tras un fallo de sistema o de un proveedor, y esa diferencia se descubre el día del siniestro si nadie la ha revisado antes".
