Europe Under Attack? Far-Left Sabotage UK Military Satellite Equipment Supply Chain

Europe faces growing national security risks from violent far-left groups seeking to destroy capitalism and the continent amid weeks of riots, looting and unrest in France and elsewhere.The chaos has not yet stopped. There was looting and violence in Germany over the weekend and ongoing unrest in France.An evolution of the revolution may have emerged overnight, as far-left activists reportedly broke into a defense manufacturer’s facility in the UK and destroyed military satellite communications equipment.Palestine Action knockoff “People Against Genocide” apparently broke into Ultra Intelligence & Communications’ manufacturing facility in Tring, Hertfordshire.Video shows these revolutionaries taking sledgehammers to portable satellite terminals that were in production. The Cradle says these terminals were “destined for Israel,” but there is no confirmation of that.”The action was timed to mark the 109th anniversary of the Balfour Declaration, which paved the way for the colonization of Palestine,” the outlet said.VIDEO | Activists from People Against Genocide broke into Ultra I&C’s Hertfordshire arms facility in the UK earlier today, destroying military satellite equipment destined for Israel.The action was timed to mark the 109th anniversary of the Balfour Declaration, which paved the… pic.twitter.com/tlNvqlrfhC— The Cradle (@TheCradleMedia) November 2, 2026
Three people were arrested after Monday’s break-in, the group’s second raid on the same Tring facility this year. PAG activists broke in on July 9, allegedly causing more than £1 million in damage.The incident raises serious questions about European elites losing control of their continent as far-left militant networks have accelerated a timeline of chaos and destruction. The communist revolt appears to be evolving toward attacks on critical supply chains.Earlier this year, Canary Mission warned that Palestine Action created a “Target Map” for its revolutionaries to target Israeli defense-linked supply chains across Europe and North America.At the center of the controversy is a public “Target Map” shared online.The map reportedly identifies: • companies • suppliers • warehouses • offices • and in some cases, private addresses tied to individuals connected to targeted firmsPublishing this information…— Canary Mission (@canarymission) May 21, 2026
Let’s remind readers that Palestine Action’s US offshoot, Palestine Action US (since renamed Unity of Fields), was co-founded by Calla Mairead Walsh, who once volunteered on campaigns for lefty US politicians, including Ed Markey, Elizabeth Warren and Michelle Wu. The left certainly knows how to foster extremists hell-bent on destroying the West.

Why Morgan Stanley sees customers spending more at Starbucks

November 3, 2026 MMN Editor Filed Under: SUCCESS, The Street

Morgan Stanley analyst Brian Harbour raised his 12-18 month price target on Starbucks (SBUX) to $116 from $115. The upgrade came after the coffee chain’s fourth-quarter results showed customers are spending more each time they walk into a store.

The Q4 results showed that the average amount customers pay per U.S. Starbucks visit increased by 5.2%. The number of customers that visited a U.S. store also grew by 2.4%. SBUX has done well in 2026, and its shares closed at $103.67 on Oct. 30, up about 23% year to date.

Morgan Stanley lifts its Starbucks price target as margins finally come through

Harbour, who covers restaurant stocks at Morgan Stanley, called Starbucks’ fourth quarter the clearest sign yet that CEO Brian Niccol‘s “Back to Starbucks” plan is turning growth into profit.

In a Morgan Stanley note shared with me, Harbour wrote that “4Q offered a better read on underlying margin improvement.” He noted this because Starbucks’ adjusted operating margin expanded 450 basis points year over year to 14.0%, surpassing the 12.7% analysts had expected.

Starbucks’ turnaround needed its margins to catch up to sales before its premium multiple made sense. The fourth quarter finally delivered that. In addition, the company’s adjusted earnings per share hit $0.80, beating the $0.72 Wall Street expected.

Because of the strong performance, Niccol told investors on the Oct. 29 earnings call that Starbucks is “ahead of schedule” on its fiscal 2028 goals.

What a bigger Starbucks ticket size means for shareholders

Starbucks locations in the U.S. got that 5.2% increase in ticket size from two main places. About half came from higher prices and delivery fees, and the other half from customers spending more on items in a single visit, like adding a sandwich to a latte or switching to pricier menu items.

According to Starbucks’ SEC filing, Espresso, Refreshers, and matcha especially drove the product mix, as people frequently added food to their orders.

When customers add food to their order or choose a pricier drink, Starbucks makes more money without really spending more to get it. And most of that extra money becomes profit.

The risks that could still slow Starbucks’ recovery

Some things could still slow down Starbucks’ recovery plan. Starbucks guided its fiscal 2027 revenue forecast to be 1% lower than in 2026, which puts it at about $37.5 billion.

Investors usually don’t like to see reduced guidance, but there are two main reasons.

More Consumer Stocks:

BofA warns Sprouts Farmers Market is losing a core customer base

Ross Stores has a plan to win over TJ Maxx shoppers

Chipotle is leaning on new menu items to bring diners back

Earlier this year, Starbucks sold most of its China business to a local partner, so those stores no longer count in its sales. Also, Niccol is still closing underperforming stores in the U.S., something he has been doing since he began in his role.

Morgan Stanley also included a bear case in its note. For the bear case, the firm prices the stock at $69, which is roughly 34% below the Oct. 30 close. Conditions that could lead to the bear case are softening consumer spending, fading pricing power, and flattening comps.

What to watch before adding more Starbucks shares

Morgan Stanley expects comp growth of about 5% in the first quarter of fiscal 2027, and SBUX already trades at roughly 33 times forward earnings, which is above its historical average. If customers spend less per visit and transaction volume doesn’t rise, that multiple may not hold.

If you’re thinking about buying SBUX for the first time, consider buying in bits over several months instead of all at once.

November 3, 2026 MMN Editor Filed Under: SUCCESS, The Street

TheStreet aims to feature only the best products and services. If you buy something via one of our links, we may earn a commission.

With the Eoyekli Wearable Heated Blanket, you can, thanks to its dual-power heating mechanism and sleeves that enrobe you in warmth no matter what you’re doing at home. And the best part? It’s on sale for 20% off at Walmart.

Thanks to a Walmart Flash deal, you can save $20 on the $100 wearable electric blanket and get one of your own for just $80.

Why do shoppers love it?

Year after year, the winters hit frigid temperatures, and we’re still always surprised by just how cold it can get. Even when you have the heat set too high and are dressed head to toe in layers, there’s a chill you just can’t kick — and that’s where a wearable heated blanket becomes your best friend. Unlike a regular heated blanket, which sort of limits your movement because of its design and size, a wearable one like this moves with you to provide you heated comfort whether you’re on the couch, in the kitchen, or working at your desk.

What’s most impressive about this 100% flannel robe is that it has dual power modes. It has a cordless option thanks to the included 12V 16000 milliampere-hour (mAh) rechargeable battery back that moves with you, or you can use the AC adapter to plug it directly into the wall outlet. Forget to charge it? Not a problem. You can still use it with that plug-in feature until the battery pack is recharged. 

Both power sources deliver the same warming capabilities. The blanket is designed with seven heating pads, designed to keep your back, shoulders, chest, and legs warm up to 15% warmer than other competing products, according to the brand. It has three heat settings that can be set to auto shut-off anywhere between one to four hours. You can wear it like a bathrobe, with the opening in the front, or opt for the backwards approach which gives you a kangaroo pouch in the front to store your hands. It also has a warm foot pocket, long sleeves so no area is uncovered, and snap buttons to keep it securely on your body.

Israel Intentionally Released Footage Of Mossad Operatives In Iran To Provoke Mass Arrests

Israel Intentionally Released Footage Of Mossad Operatives In Iran To Provoke Mass Arrests

Via Middle East EyeFormer Mossad chief David Barnea has said Israel intentionally released images of their covert operation in Iran during the June 2025 conflict to provoke mass arrests and make it harder for Iranian forces to find real Israeli agents.”One of the reasons we immediately released an official video on the morning of Operation Rising Lion, with the Mossad logo, was to protect the agents who were there,” Barnea said, according to comments The Jerusalem Post reported on 25 October.

Barnea said the leak of the footage of Israeli operations in Iran was not just an attempt to showcase the Mossad’s reach but also a strategy to overwhelm Iranian counterintelligence, causing them to make mass arrests, making it more difficult to distinguish operatives from ordinary citizens.“We wanted to make sure they arrested so many people in Iran that they wouldn’t be able to distinguish the wheat from the chaff and would eventually release everyone,” he said.Barnea said Iranian authorities arrested 21,000 people during the operation. “You have to imagine that when you arrest 21,000 people, even if you’ve caught an agent or two, eventually you have to release them because everyone’s story will be the same: I was walking down the street, I was driving a car, they arrested me,” he said.Barnea added that many people arrested or executed on accusations of working for Israel had no connection to the Mossad.“Some of the people being hanged in Iran on accusations of being Mossad agents, I have to ask who they are,” he said. “They tell me, ‘Listen, we don’t know either.’”He described some of those executed as “just unfortunate people whom they decided were our agents, but who never worked for the Mossad, and probably never worked for any other intelligence organisation either”, according to the report.The remarks made at the Priority Summit on October 22 to a private audience have sparked a sharp response from Trita Parsi. Parsi, executive vice-president of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, described it as an admission that Israel “used ordinary Iranians as tools to protect Mossad operatives” in the country.“Rarely will you find a more crude admission of how Israel deliberately and carelessly put thousands of people it claimed it sought to liberate in harm’s way,” Parsi wrote on X.Mass detentionsIsrael launched Operation Rising Lion on June 13, 2025, during which they bombed Iran and killed senior military commanders as well as scientists.After Iran retaliated with missile attacks on Israel, the 12-day war ended with a ceasefire. On the first morning of the attacks, the Mossad released videos showing what it said were its agents operating inside Iran.The footage included attacks on ballistic missile and air-defence targets, with the faces of those involved concealed. Iranian police announced in August 2025 that they had detained about 21,000 people during the 12-day conflict.Former Mossad chief David Barnea (Dadi) explained at a conference why the agency released footage of its operatives working inside Iran during Israel’s 12-day campaign against Iran in 2025.The footage released at the time was, without exaggeration, unprecedented: Mossad does… pic.twitter.com/5LBUJXivb1— Yigal Levin (@YigalLevin) October 25, 2026
Police spokesperson Saeed Montazer al-Mahdi said the arrests followed reports from members of the public and increased security measures. More than 260 suspects were arrested on suspicion of espionage and 172 people were arrested for illegal filming, the police statement said.Barnea’s comments come amid concerns over Iran’s use of espionage allegations to prosecute people following the conflict.Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch said in September 2025 that Iranian authorities had arrested more than 20,000 people after the outbreak of hostilities with Israel. Those targeted included journalists, human rights activists, social media users, members of ethnic and religious minorities, and foreigners.Iranian authorities have said they were responding to genuine threats from Israeli intelligence and collaborators inside the country. Tehran has repeatedly accused the Mossad of recruiting people to gather intelligence, carry out sabotage and assist military attacks.

Ex-Chicago FBI chief sues DOJ, claims he was ousted over failed anti-ICE prosecutions

November 3, 2026 MMN Editor Filed Under: THE NEWS

The former chief of the FBI’s Chicago field office said he was forced out of his job after he says he was wrongly blamed for the failed prosecution of six people who protested against the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown in the Windy City, according to a lawsuit he filed on Monday.Douglas DePodesta sued top Justice Department officials, alleging that federal prosecutors pushed “politically motivated prosecutions” against Chicago demonstrators before gathering evidence, according to the lawsuit. He said his superiors notified him that FBI Director Kash Patel pushed for his ouster before he was forced to resign over the summer.”I saw the writing on the wall,” DePodesta told The Associated Press.DePodesta accused the top federal prosecutor in Illinois, U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois Andrew Boutros, of launching a “campaign” within the DOJ to blame him after the so-called “Broadview Six” case fell apart earlier this year.TRUMP ADMINISTRATION HAS LOST OR ABANDONED HUNDREDS OF LAWSUITS AGAINST ANTI-ICE PROTESTERS, MIGRANTS: REPORTHours after the lawsuit was filed, U.S. District Judge April Perry ordered Boutros and three of his assistant attorneys to testify under oath on Nov. 16 in the failed “Broadview Six” case.”There is more than an adequate factual basis for the Court to pursue an inquiry as to whether willful false statements were made to the court,” Perry wrote in the order.Federal prosecutors brought charges against roughly 30 protesters during the federal immigration enforcement operation in Chicago, dubbed Operation Midway Blitz, but many of those charges have since been dropped or dismissed.DePodesta’s lawsuit alleges that Boutros faced pressure from the DOJ throughout the immigration crackdown to slap protesters with felony charges.”Boutros sent DePodesta emails demanding that DePodesta open FBI investigations into individuals with political views or affiliations in opposition to the Trump administration,” DePodesta’s attorneys wrote in the complaint.Boutros often pressured assistant U.S. attorneys to press charges “before investigating the objective evidence,” according to the lawsuit, which says he wanted felony charges when assistant U.S. attorneys “favored misdemeanors or no charges at all.”Last October, Boutros charged six people with conspiring to obstruct a federal officer, a felony, in connection with their actions during a protest at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in the Chicago suburb of Broadview.Grand jury transcripts later turned over to the court showed that grand jurors twice declined to indict the six people as prosecutors sought charges, according to The Associated Press. Boutros dropped all charges against the six people in May as the court moved to investigate possible prosecutorial misconduct.Boutros “repeatedly complained to his superiors in Washington” that the failure was DePodesta’s fault “to deflect attention from his own malfeasance,” DePodesta’s attorneys wrote in the lawsuit.DePodesta denied Boutros’ claims to his superiors at the FBI, and they conceded that he was only being forced out of his job due to the “political pressure Boutros created,” according to the suit.The complaint alleges Boutros told DOJ leadership that DePodesta and his sister-in-law, Nancy DePodesta, who is an attorney representing one of the six former defendants, “conspired to destroy” the case.PRITZKER CALLS FOR CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS INTO ICE AGENTS OVER ‘MIDWAY BLITZ’ CONDUCT”There is no one at the FBI who took their oath of office and their ethical and moral responsibilities more seriously than Doug,” Nancy DePodesta said in a statement to The Associated Press, adding that it is “both heartbreaking and shameful that he was forced out of his position based on what appear to be utterly false rumors spread by” Boutros.In September, one of the prosecutors on the “Broadview Six” case abruptly resigned, writing in a resignation letter that Boutros had “scapegoated and publicly vilified” her. She filed a motion asking the court to treat her as an independent party moving forward.The former defendants have asked the judge to appoint a special counsel to probe possible misconduct by prosecutors. At an Oct. 1 hearing, Perry ordered further “fact-finding” about communications between Boutros’ office and DOJ leadership.Boutros has previously denied that politics played a role in charging decisions.Fox News Digital reached out to the DOJ for comment.The Associated Press contributed to this report.
