Grayzone - Argentina's economic demolition: Javier Milei disappears 11 TONS of gold

On October 8, National Audit Office president Juan Manuel Olmos confirmed that Argentina’s Central Bank lost $1.023 billion in gold reserves through operations that moved physical gold out of the country without the public’s consent.

The financial loss may be only part of the story. Nearly 11 tons of Argentine gold are unaccounted for. How the gold bars left the country, where they are now, and whether the government can recover them all remain open questions.

Beyond the missing gold lies a larger issue: what will remain of Argentina’s national wealth, industrial capacity, and economic sovereignty when Milei’s experiment ends?

    Calgary Opera Have Doubled Down On Their Cancellation Of A Performer For Displaying The Palestinian Flag

    Future ‘Tosca’ performances in Canada’s Calgary Opera will not feature bass singer Gabriel Sanchez-Ortega.

    The Calgary Opera apologised to pro-Israel viewers who it spoke to like they were victims, simply for having to view the flag of the people they are seeking to oppress and erase from existence.

    FSD Crashes into California Highway Patrol

    A video was posted by the official Facebook page of the California Highway Patrol (CHP), which reports on an October 13, 2026 accident. The video details that CHP Solano officers were responding to a fatal accident that happened on I-80 when a Tesla slammed into the accident scene and into a CHP patrol car with an officer inside. As a result, the already fatal scene nearly added two more fatalities, with both California officers seriously injured after the accident. Thankfully, the officers have already been released, while the Tesla driver sustained only minor injuries.

    This all happened despite the fact that the CHP closed four lanes of the Interstate and diverted traffic to a slow lane. Part of CHP's efforts to investigate the scene also included the addition of high-visibility cones and markings, as well as emergency vehicles with lights on. The driver told the CHP that he was asleep behind the wheel with FSD fully engaged, yet the diverted lanes and emergency obstacle lights weren't enough to alert the FSD and wake the sleeping driver, raising more concerns about FSD's true capabilities and safety. There's a footage showing the Tesla driving into the scene of the accident at highway speeds.
