The AIS-receiver station responsible for the mass spoof event Nov 2 in Baltic Sea show anomalous data patterns during 8 more days but returned to normalcy Nov 9.

From a baseline of ~30 ships/h, for 8 days it reported 56-113 ships/h.

Speculation: Mass spoof might have been a mistake by attacker.

Well looks like it may be an attack after all.

Investigators linked the Red Fort Metro blast, which killed eight, to a white Hyundai i20 owned by Pulwama doctor Umar Mohammed.

Trump Falls For Satire From Site Called ‘The Dunning Kruger Times’
Over the weekend, the President of the United States fell for obvious satire from a website literally called "The Dunning Kruger Times." Donald Trump—a man with access to the best, most accurate information on basically any subject—posted to Truth Social a screenshot claiming that "DOGE halts yearly payments of $2.5 million to Barack Obama for 'royalties linked to Obamacare.' Obama has collected this payment since 2010, for a total of $40 million in taxpayer dollars."
