SEOUL, South Korea — SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea fired a ballistic missile in an eastward direction on Wednesday, South Korea’s military said, the North’s first weapons testing activity in about five months.

A brief statement from South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff gave no further details such as how far the weapon flew.

North Korea usually test-launches missiles in the waters between the Korean Peninsula and Japan, causing no damage in neighboring countries. But the Joint Chiefs of Staff statement only said the latest missile was launched in an eastward direction.

90K People Euthanized by Canada since “Assisted Suicide” became Law in 2016

pgnewser October 22, 2025 0

So far, 90,000 people have taken advantage of Canada’s law MAID, (Medical Assistance in Dying) which legalizes assisted suicide. In 2024, there were 16,500 MAID suicides, which accounted for 5% of total deaths that year.

Canada’s average wait time to see a specialist is now at 27.7 weeks, an all-time high, and this fact alone has led to documented suicides, including from a Winnipeg woman who wrote just before her MAID suicide, “I could have had more time if I had more help.”

Canada has euthanized around 90,000 people since Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government legalized so-called “Medical Assistance in Dying” (MAID) in 2016, a watchdog has revealed.

The death toll was exposed in shocking new data published by the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition (EPC).

EPC Executive Director Alex Schadenberg revealed the grim total, citing government data and projected 2025 figures.

“There were around 16,500 Canadian euthanasia deaths in 2024, representing 5% of all deaths,” Schadenberg declared.

Ukrainian drones struck a major gas processing plant in southern Russia, sparking a fire and forcing it to suspend its intake of gas from Kazakhstan, Russian and Kazakh authorities said Sunday.

U.S. President Donald Trump meanwhile suggested that Kyiv may have to give up territory in exchange for an end to Moscow’s more than three-and-a-half-year invasion, in the latest of apparent reversals on how to pursue peace.

The Orenburg plant, run by state-owned gas giant Gazprom and located in a region of the same name near the Kazakh border, is part of a production and processing complex that is one of the world’s largest facilities of its kind, with an annual capacity of 45 billion cubic meters. It handles gas condensate from Kazakhstan’s Karachaganak field, alongside Orenburg’s own oil and gas fields.

Bolivia Officially Rejects Socialism, Elects Center-Right Candidate

pgnewser October 22, 2025 0

Senator Rodrigo Paz of the Christian Democrat Party has been elected the next President of Bolivia. In August, he finished first in the general election, winning a run-off election with former President Jorge “Tuto’ Quiroga.

In the run-off election, Paz won 54.5% to 45.5%. The election breaks the socialist control of the country as Bolivia looks to follow Argentina in opening their markets and purging the government of waste. He has promised to take a “gradual approach to free-market reforms in hopes of avoiding a sharp recession or jump in inflation that would enrage the masses.”

Blurb:

It looks like Bolivia is done with socialism. For the first time since 2005, the country has officially elected a candidate who is not a part of Evo Morales’ Movimiento al Socialismo (MAS) party. This comes as Bolivia faces a serious economic crisis — something that seems to go hand-in-hand with years of socialism.

As I reported back in August, the country held its general election, which led to a runoff between center-right Senator Rodrigo Paz, who earned 32.18% of the vote, and conservative former President Jorge “Tuto” Quiroga, who earned 26.81% of the vote.

The president of the Austrian Parliament has banned the use of so-called “gender-inclusive” language in official communications of the legislative body.

Walter Rosenkranz, president of the Nationalrat (National Council, Austria’s Lower House of Parliament), recently announced that Parliament will go back to using the generic masculine form of words, or the female and male form as a couple, for instance, when addressing readers as “Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren” (Dear ladies and gentlemen).

Previously, the parliament had used the ideological variant of putting internal capital letters, colons, asterisks, or slashes within nouns that could refer to people of different genders. Signs like the asterisk were meant to include not only females but also people who identify as “transgender.”

President Donald Trump and Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese signed a critical minerals agreement to counter China, which is holding tight to its own rare earth metals.

According to Bloomberg, Australia “holds the world’s fourth-largest deposits of rare earths.”

With China trying to control the rare earths and critical minerals market, Australia hopes to become “a viable alternative” for countries.

Australia has these key elements:

  • Neodymium and praseodymium: needed for high-strength magnets for electric vehicles and wind turbines
  • Dysprosium and terbium: needed for magnets used in high temperatures
  • Lanthanum and cerium: used in catalytic converters and batteries
  • Europium and gadolinium: needed for phosphors used in screens and medical imaging
  • Samarium: used in high-temperature permanent magnets and lasers

Hamas has rejected disarmament and security control surrender under President Donald Trump’s 20-point peace plan, following the October 9, 2025, ceasefire in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, which ended two years of conflict and released the last Israeli hostages.

Uruguay Votes for Euthanasia: How a Leftist Government Turned Doctors into Executioners– www.lifenews.com

Blurb:

Uruguay, once a conservative pillar in Latin America, has crossed a tragic threshold. Its Senate has voted to legalize euthanasia, turning the nation’s medical profession into an instrument of state-sanctioned death. After eight years of debate and multiple legislative battles, the upper house approved the so-called “Dignified Death.” The law allows doctors to end the lives of patients who claim to suffer “unbearable pain” from incurable conditions.

Uruguay has abandoned life.

On October 15, 2025, Uruguay’s Senate voted 20 to 11 to legalize euthanasia. This followed a 64 to 29 vote by the Chamber of Representatives on August 13, 2025. With those two votes, Uruguay’s legislature handed doctors the legal authority to kill. The left-wing government of President Yamandú Orsi celebrates this as a milestone. They cheer it as progress. What they have approved is death, on demand, wrapped in official procedure and sold as compassion.

Supporters call it compassion, but it’s not. It’s surrender. They claim it protects choice, but it erases conscience. By declaring death a form of medical care, Uruguay has chosen elimination over treatment, and despair over dignity. This isn’t progress. It’s a complete moral collapse.

An illegal migrant posted a twisted TikTok video offering $10,000 to anyone who killed an ICE agent — and the feds later found him with a loaded gun, officials said.

Eduardo Aguilar, 23, was nabbed Tuesday in Dallas, Texas, after posting the chilling footage Oct. 9 seeking “10 dudes” in the city who would be ready to take down federal immigration agents in exchange for the money, according to the Justice Department and Homeland Security.

The Mexican national’s Spanish post said, “10 dudes in Dallas with determination who aren’t afraid to [skull emojis]” — often slang for death — followed by a message offering “10K for each ICE agent.”

Over 2,500 Muslims have been charged with “public order” offences in India for openly expressing their love of the Prophet Muhammed. During the last month, Indian police have reportedly raided homes and public spaces to arrest Muslim men suspected of writing “I Love Muhammed” on posters, t-shirts and social media. Prime Minister Narendra Modi‘s Hindu Nationalist party launched the blitz of prosecutions, which has seen some perpetrators’ homes bulldozed, to the end of clamping down on threats against “public order”.

At least 22 cases have been brought against over 2,500 Muslims in the South Asian country, with at least 40 arrested across states governed by the Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the non-profit Association for Protection of Civil Rights (APCR) said. The slew of arrests was sparked by the erection of an illuminated board paying tribute to Muhammed while Muslims were observing Eid al-Milad al-Nabi, the celebration of his birth, in the city of Kanpur on September 4. Dozens were pursued on charges of promoting enmity on the grounds of religion in the historic region, an offence which carries a sentence of up to five years in jail.

Pope Leo XIV reiterated the Church’s condemnation of usury while meeting with members of Italy’s National Anti-Usury Council on Saturday.

During the October 18 address to the Anti-Usury Council, the pontiff strongly condemned the practice of usury as a “grave sin” that “corrupts the human heart,” emphasizing that it ultimately enslaves the most vulnerable of the population. Usury, or the practice of charging excessive interest rates on loans, has been consistently condemned by the Church.

“The phenomenon of usury points to the corruption of the human heart. It is a painful and ancient story, already attested to in the Bible,” Leo noted.
