November 7 Demonstrations: 70,000 Law Enforcement Officers in the Streets
Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez has confirmed the deployment of 70,000 police officers and gendarmes for this Saturday’s demonstrations. The deployment includes the use of armored vehicles, drones, helicopters, and 15 water cannons to counter potential looting, roadblocks, and calls for revolt on social media. The risk is considered identical to previous Saturdays, despite the lack of structured organizers for some gatherings.
Rachel’s Comment
A truly reassuring deployment. With all those armored vehicles, the protesters will surely feel pampered. Is it not democracy that flourishes best under drones?

Koan of the Day
A monk asked the Master: “If seventy thousand men and drones scan the streets, can they truly capture the urgency of a revolt that has no leader?”
The Master replied: “One can capture the roar of thunder with a net, but the net will always remain empty.”
Then the monk insisted: “But with the water of cannons and the eye of drones, will order not finally be restored?”
The Master smiled and said: “The order built with the force of an armored vehicle is like a sandcastle built during the tide: the harder you protect it, the faster the ocean will reclaim it.”
But let us return to the news.

Anthropic Risks Stock Market Entry
The stock market entry of the startup Anthropic, creator of the Claude model, could face a delay. The recent 5% drop in the Nasdaq on Thursday is shaking the company’s ambitions in the financial markets.
Anxiety is growing among investors who had planned to participate in the public offering. According to the Wall Street Journal, the company’s valuation risks decreasing by more than a quarter compared to initial estimates.
This situation comes as Anthropic has supported political committees in favor of stricter regulation of artificial intelligence. In parallel, uncertainties weigh on the sector related to data center costs and tensions over chip exports.
The plan for a Nasdaq listing now faces volatility that could weaken the market entry of this artificial intelligence champion.

Kremlin: No to the Change of Route for Oil Tankers Toward the USA
The Kremlin has denied news regarding a possible change of destination for oil tankers carrying Russian fuel destined for the United States. Kirill Dmitriev stated that the ships are continuing their journey, responding to information from the Financial Times suggesting a change of route for two out of three vessels.
According to monitoring data, the Talisman, carrying approximately 324,000 barrels of diesel, is off the coast of Tunisia without a specified final destination. The Leruo, with 300,000 barrels on board, is instead reportedly headed to Brazil. Conversely, the Agioi Fanendes is expected in New York on November 7.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitri Peskov stated that these are commercial shipments whose details cannot be made public, ensuring that all diesel will find buyers. The operation is part of an agreement between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin to introduce Russian diesel into the global market and lower prices in the United States.
