this is the wire for 2100 Zulu November 28th 2023 precedences routine information cut off is 200 bottom line up front knife attack thwarted in Ireland Department of Justice documents confirm domestic spying in Trump case beginning with international events on the European front in Ireland another terror attack struck Dublin as a man entered a post office with a knife shouting Allahu abbar this morning citizens engaged theack attacker stopping the attack before police arrived no word yet on any injuries civil unrest resulting from the first terror attack continues as Irish politicians intensify efforts to silence opposition to immigration policies on the Scandinavian front Finland announces a closure of their entire border with Russia due to ongoing immigration disputes Finnish authorities claim the Border will close at midnight on Thursday and be closed for at least two weeks on the Middle Eastern Front prisoner swaps continue between Hamas and Israel before the end of the ceasefire period developing reports indicate the ceasefire has possibly been broken and fighting has resumed as before analyst comment it is unclear as to which side broke the ceasefire if it indeed has been broken as social media accounts used by both sides have blamed each other and the situation is still developing on the home front in the United States the Department of Justice has released a search warrant associated with their investigation of Donald Trump the documented question relates to information sought regarding Trump's Twitter account though eight of the 14 pages are redacted in the their entirety page three confirms that the Department of Justice sought quote all information from the connect or notifications tabs for the account including all lists of Twitter users who favored or retweeted tweets posted by the account as well as all tweets that include the username associated with the account I.E mentions or replies analyst comment this means that anyone who interacted with Trump's account on Twitter has had their private account information shared with the Department of Justice a like on a single post was enough for Twitter to turn over any accounts information to the Department of Justice analyst comments for this wire the Constitutional and human rights concerns regarding Trump search warrant are palpable but not particularly unexpected these recent Revelations are the latest in the long train of abuses documented clearly and openly by law enforcement agencies Twitter failing to immediately comply with the order challenged the search warrant and the non-disclosure order unsuccessfully and was finded $350,000 before ultimately complying with the order as a reminder the judge who approved this search w was appointed to the bench by Barack Obama in the Middle East the recent prisoner exchange between Israel and Hamas has been a nearly total information victory for Hamas the reports are conflicting and almost impossible to verify prisoners held by Hamas have frequently reported that they have been treated well whereas prisoners held by the Israelis detail harsh conditions abuse and sometimes torture however care must be taken to realize that Hamas in particular has the overwhelming incentive to treat prisoners well knowing that they would be released at some point and would share their their experiences with the world Hamas being an Insurgent Force has everything to gain and little to lose by treating prisoners well on the other hand Israel does not care what the International Community thinks thus the bad press regarding their Prisoners has little effect on Israeli policy Andor Doctrine as such Hamas appearing to treat prisoners well and Israel appearing to treat prisoners poorly is probably not as indicative of the real situation as we might want it to be both sides want to label their opponents as barbarians but in this conflict so far Hamas has been far more effective at shaping the narrative in their favor which has been made easy by Israel's own actions this concludes the wire for 2100 Zulu November 28th 2023
