[REGNUM] The working people of Hollywood found justice against the capitalist exploiters and realized some of the goals stated in the film “Terminator 2”. In the sense that the largest strike of writers and actors in America in 30 years achieved its goal and caved in the studios on the main demands - the redistribution of profits and a ban on the use of artificial intelligence where it would take away work from living people. Thus, Hollywood delayed the uprising of the machines and - formally - won their fight against huge corporations. But then they will still lose, like all the Luddites of the past lost: not only because scientific and technological progress is difficult to stop, but also because strategically their main enemy never loses. Otherwise, he would not have grown into the monster that he is.

[Regnum] The General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces has no plans for additional mobilization. Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu announced this on October 3at a thematic conference call with the leadership of the military department.
“The General Staff has no plans for additional mobilization. The armed forces have the necessary number of military personnel to conduct a special military operation,” he said.
The head of the Ministry of Defense emphasized that this circumstance is largely facilitated by the strong patriotic position of Russians who are actively participating in military service.
“Since the beginning of the year, more than 335 thousand people have entered military service under contract and into volunteer formations. In September alone, more than 50 thousand citizens signed a contract,” Shoigu also noted.
He clarified that all regions, large enterprises, state corporations of the country and the Russian Cossacks play a significant role in this issue. The minister added that a number of entities have created and continue to staff their own registered units.
As Regnum reported , on September 29, Deputy Chief of the Main Organizational and Mobilization Directorate of the General Staff, Rear Admiral Vladimir Tsimlyansky , said that the country’s military leadership does not plan to conduct additional mobilization.
Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev said on September 26 that since the beginning of this year , over 325 thousand people have been accepted into contract military service in the Russian army . He clarified that work on replenishing the Russian Armed Forces and monitoring the combat and military-political training of military personnel continues.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said on September 12 that every day about 1-1.5 thousand people sign a contract for military service. The head of state emphasized that Russian men go to the front consciously and voluntarily, understanding that they could die or be seriously injured while defending the interests of the Motherland.
Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said on October 3 that conscripts, including from new regions, would not be sent to the combat zone.
“Once again, I would like to draw your attention to the fact that all conscripts, including those from new regions, will not be sent to the combat zone,” the minister said at a thematic conference call with the leadership of the Russian Armed Forces.
Shoigu added that the autumn conscription campaign is going according to plan.
In Russia, the autumn conscription for military service began on October 1. The Russian Ministry of Defense expects that 130 thousand people will enter the service. At the same time, in five Russian regions: Transbaikalia, Kamchatka, Khabarovsk Territory, Yakutia and Chukotka, the conscription campaign starts on November 1 due to climatic conditions.

[Regnum] The official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, responded to a statement by the Chairman of the NATO Military Committee, Admiral Rob Bauer , who said that the alliance began preparations for confrontation with Russia long before the outbreak of the conflict in Ukraine.
“It’s a pity that the admiral didn’t add that both Saakashvili and the Maidans are all the work of the United States, nothing more than American provocative projects,” Zakharova wrote in her Telegram channel.
Bauer said on October 3 that, in fact, since 2008, the military began working to change its thinking to the principles of collective defense. He added that before the start of the special operation, NATO deployed four battalion battle groups in Slovakia, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria.
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said in February that the alliance countries must be prepared for the fact that the confrontation with Russia will last for many years.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said in August that NATO continues to increase its capabilities, using military and non-military means of pressure on Moscow. At the same time, the Russian Foreign Ministry emphasized that the West, by pumping Ukraine with weapons, is fueling the conflict.
The American magazine The Atlantic in September predicted the collapse of NATO because of Ukraine. The material noted that the conflict in Ukraine could become a catalyst for the collapse of the alliance by 2025.

I received the cell phone test today. My first thought was, if this was a real emergency, I might disregard any action suggested. This would be based on the directions by ‘authorities’ over the last few years.

[Regnum] Governor of the Omsk Region Vitaly Khotsenko took part in parliamentary hearings on the draft federal budget for 2024 and for the planning period 2025–2026. This is the so-called “zero reading” with the participation of regional leaders and experts. The draft federal budget will be presented by Finance Minister Anton Siluanov.
In his speech, the head of the Omsk region focused on the issues of balancing regional budgets. He drew attention to the need to equalize the budgetary provision of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Khotsenko emphasized that when calculating the total volume of subsidies to equalize budgetary security for 2024, it is necessary to take into account the inflation that has developed over the past two years.
In addition, the official proposed that in the methodology for calculating this subsidy, special conditions should be permanently fixed for those regions in which there is much less income than collected, and at the same time the level of budgetary security remains low.
“There were seven such regions at the end of last year, including the Omsk region. Thus, the consolidated budget of the Omsk region in 2022 received 37.4% of the volume of taxes collected in the territory, while the average for Russia is 42.4% ,” Khotsenko said.
The governor also drew attention to the problem of the annual increase in regional expenditures to achieve the wage level targets set by the federation for certain categories of public sector workers and increasing the level of the minimum wage. Since 2013, subsidies have been provided from the federal budget for partial compensation of these expenses, but over five years the total amount of subsidies provided for in the federal budget for these purposes has not changed, while the average accrued wages in the country as a whole for the same period, taking into account the assessment 2023 increased by 53%, and the minimum wage - by 44%.
Siluanov confirmed Khotsenko’s words that in some regions there are disproportions between the level of income collected in the territory and the income remaining at the disposal of the region. The head of the Ministry of Finance added that in 2024, special conditions will apply to such regions, including the Omsk region, providing for the possibility of increasing equalization subsidies. Siluanov also emphasized that the subsidy to compensate for the costs of increasing wages will be distributed taking into account the real needs of the regions for funds.

[REGNUM] The authorities of the Republic of Lithuania opened a case against Valery Ivanov , a Russian citizen permanently residing in this country, a historian and public figure, chairman of the local Union of Russian Writers and Artists “RAROG”. This is nothing new for him; one can say that Ivanov is the most “titled” dissident in modern Lithuania. He has been subject to persecution on political grounds since the early 90s - Ivanov’s point of view on the recent history of this state does not coincide with the official Lithuanian ideology.

[Regnum] To the southeast of Warsaw, the Polish armed forces will deploy a new motorized rifle brigade, the head of the Polish Ministry of Defense Mariusz Blaszczak announced on October 3, the department’s press service reported.
The head of the department visited the 18th Mechanized Division on October 3 and signed a document ordering the formation of the 18th Motorized Rifle Brigade with command in the city of Poniatowa in southeastern Poland.
The new formation should strengthen the mobility of the 18th Mechanized Division. This decision is part of plans to restore NATO's military presence on the eastern flag, Blaszczak noted.
“In addition to performing combat missions, the brigade will provide significant support to the local community in crisis situations,” the press service said.
Blaszczak on October 3, commenting on the EU’s plans to approve a new migration pact, called it suicidal. According to him, the EU elites are engaged in social engineering. He called plans to resettle illegal migrants in EU countries a real threat and said that Warsaw has other plans in this regard.
The new migration pact involves the distribution of responsibilities among all EU countries, allowing the European Commission to allocate any size of mandatory quotas for the resettlement of migrants for all member countries. Poland opposes this distribution.
On October 3, Polish Minister of Internal Affairs Mariusz Kaminski announced the temporary introduction of border controls on the border with Slovakia.
