Yep, the asshole in the motorcycle helmet throwing shit in Paramount, CA
[10News] A man accused of assaulting federal officers during immigration protests in Los Angeles County has been taken into custody after surrendering at the San Ysidro Port of Entry.
The FBI and U.S. Attorney's Office announced the arrest of 39-year-old Elpidio Reyna, who faces a felony charge of assault on a federal officer.
The alleged assault occurred on June 7 in Paramount, Los Angeles County, during protests against immigration raids where demonstrators clashed with federal agents.
Reyna is accused of being the person in a now-viral video, seen in a motorcycle helmet, who appeared to throw objects at marked and unmarked federal vehicles. The FBI says those projectiles were concrete blocks.
Reyna had been on the run for over a month, with authorities saying he fled to Mexico.
Just two days after the alleged assault back in June, the FBI released a wanted poster featuring Reyna's license picture and images from the Paramount incident, warning that he should be considered armed and dangerous.
This arrest comes as the Department of Homeland Security reports ICE officials are facing an 830% increase in assaults since January compared to the same time last year.
According to the Department of Justice, assault on a federal officer can include physically attacking, refusing to comply, or engaging in conduct that obstructs or threatens an officer as they perform their duties.

[Regnum] On July 23, the Federal Security Service published footage of the detention of a foreign citizen who was planning an explosion at an oil refinery in Krasnodar Krai.
The man was detained in a dormitory room and taken in for questioning.
“I work at an oil refinery,” he said.
The detainee stated that he was planning to start an arson using the Molotov cocktails found on him.
The video shows two bottles of Molotov cocktails.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, the detainee was planning to set fire to an oil refinery facility in Krasnodar Krai. On July 23, the FSB reported that he was a native of Central Asia. The foreigner made an incendiary mixture and wanted to use it to start a fire in a dormitory building. His handler demanded that he film what he had done and then post the footage online.
After completing this task, he was going to join the ranks of an Islamist organization in Afghanistan.
ISIS-K? Al Qaeda? One of the dozens of foreign jihadi groups who settled there at the invitation of the Talibs? So many possibilities…
FSB officers prevented the terrorist attack, and a criminal case was opened against the foreigner for participating in the activities of a terrorist organization. He was taken into custody by a court decision.
[IsraelTimes] The Norwegian man is accused of handing over details about the embassy’s diplomats, its floor plans and security routines; he denies criminal wrongdoing
A former security guard at the US Embassy in Norway has been indicted by prosecutors there on suspicion of espionage after he allegedly spied for Russia and Iran, state broadcaster NRK said Wednesday.
The broadcaster reported that the United States’ ties to Israel and the war in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... prompted the man to contact the two countries. Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... is a chief regional adversary of Israel, and fought a war with it last month, while Russia is a rival of the US.
The Norwegian man, whose name has not been made public, was arrested last November on suspicion of having damaged national security. He is accused of handing over details about the embassy’s diplomats, its floor plans and security routines, among other things, NRK reported.
He faces up to 21 years in prison, NRK reported.
His defense attorney, Inger Zadig, said her client acknowledges the indictment’s facts but denies any criminal guilt. She said the information he shared did not pose an illegal risk.
"At its core, this case concerns legal interpretation — specifically, whether, and to what extent, the information in question was ’classified’ under the law, and whether it was capable of harming fundamental national interests," she wrote in an email to The News Agency that Dare Not be Named. "If not, then sharing the information is not a criminal offense. Our client did not hold a security clearance, and his access to information that could threaten vital national interests was more or less non-existent. These issues will be thoroughly addressed in court."
The US Embassy and the prosecutor’s office did not respond to AP’s requests for comment.
Last year, Norway joined Ireland and Spain in announcing that they would recognize a Paleostinian state, sparking a diplomatic row with Israel. The countries said the move would advance peace in the Middle East. Israel has said such recognition serves as a reward for the October 7, 2023, Hamas ..a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",... -led attack that launched the Gaza war.
At the time of his arrest, the suspect had been studying for a bachelor’s degree in security and preparedness at Norway’s Arctic University, UiT. It is the second such case at the school in recent years, according to NRK.
One of the people Western countries swapped with Russia in a major prisoner exchange last year was a UiT guest researcher who claimed to be a Brazilian named José Assis Giammaria, arrested on espionage allegations in 2022. The police revealed him to be a Russian named Mikhail Valeryevich Mikushin.
Norway has a 198-kilometer (123-mile) long border with Russia in the Arctic. Since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Norway has heavily restricted the entry of Russian nationals.
Last year, the Norwegian government said it was considering a plan to build a fence along all or part of its border with Russia.
[IsraelTimes] University doesn’t admit to wrongdoing as part of agreement but notes its leaders acknowledge that Jewish students and faculty ‘have experienced painful, unacceptable incidents’
Columbia University said on Wednesday it will pay over $200 million to the US government in a settlement with President Donald Trump ...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party... ’s administration to resolve federal probes and to have most of its suspended federal funding restored.
Trump has targeted universities including Columbia since returning to the White House in January over the pro-Paleostinian, anti-Israel student protest movement that has roiled college campuses since the October 7, 2023, Hamas ..a regional Iranian catspaw,... -led terror onslaught that started the ongoing Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... war.
In March, the Trump administration said it was penalizing the university over how it handled last year’s protests by canceling $400 million in federal funding. It contended that Columbia’s response to alleged antisemitism and harassment of Jewish and Israeli members of the university community was insufficient.
"Under today’s agreement, a vast majority of the federal grants which were terminated or paused in March 2025 — will be reinstated and Columbia’s access to billions of dollars in current and future grants will be restored," Columbia said in a statement.
The statement stressed that "Columbia does not admit to wrongdoing with this resolution agreement" but said "the institution’s leaders have recognized, repeatedly, that Jewish students and faculty have experienced painful, unacceptable incidents, and that reform was and is needed."
"The agreement builds on Columbia’s broader commitment to combating antisemitism," it added.
The university said it has also agreed to settle investigations brought by the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission for $21 million and that its deal with the Trump administration preserved Columbia’s "autonomy and authority over faculty hiring, admissions, and academic decision-making."
Additionally, the settlement includes an agreement to ask prospective international students "questions designed to elicit their reasons for wishing to study in the United States," and establishes processes to make sure all students are committed to "civil discourse."
After the government announced the funding cancellations, the school announced a series of commitments in response to the Trump administration’s concerns.
Last week, Columbia adopted a definition of antisemitism that defines some forms of anti-Israel rhetoric as Jew hatred. The school also said it would no longer engage with anti-Israel group Columbia University Apartheid Divest, which has praised "violent mostly peaceful resistance" by Paleostinians, including, explicitly, Hamas’s October 7 attack. CUAD’s front man, Mahmoud Khalil, has been locked in a high-profile legal battle over the US administration’s effort to deport him.
The Trump administration had no immediate comment on the deal with Columbia. Trump had said in recent weeks that a deal with the university was close.
Wednesday’s announcement came a day after the university disciplined dozens of students over a pro-Paleostinian protest in May in which demonstrators seized Columbia’s main library, and followed months of uncertainty and fraught negotiations at the more than 270-year-old university. It was among the first targets of Trump’s crackdown on campus protests against Israel and on colleges that he says allowed Jewish students to be threatened and harassed.
Columbia’s own antisemitism task force found last summer that Jewish students had faced verbal abuse, ostracism and classroom humiliation during demonstrations on campus last spring.
[IsraelTimes] Secretary of State Marco Rubio says probe to ensure funds don’t go to programs that ‘run contrary to nation’s interests’; Harvard condemns ‘yet another retaliatory step’ by Trump
The message is very clear: Schools, don’t be Harvard.
US President Donald Trump’s administration has battered the nation’s oldest and wealthiest university with sanctions for months, as it presses a series of demands on the Ivy League school, which it decries as a hotbed of liberalism and antisemitism.
Harvard has resisted, and the lawsuit over the cuts to its research grants represents the primary challenge to the administration in a standoff that is being widely watched across higher education and beyond.
A lawyer for Harvard, Steven Lehotsky, says at the hearing that the case is about the government trying to control the “inner workings” of Harvard. The funding cuts, if not reversed, could lead to the loss of research, damaged careers, and the closing of labs, he says.
The case is before US District Judge Allison Burroughs, who has been presiding over lawsuits brought by Harvard against the administration’s efforts to keep it from hosting international students. In that case, she temporarily blocked the administration’s efforts.
At today’s hearing Harvard is asking her to reverse a series of funding freezes. Such a ruling, if it stands, would revive Harvard’s sprawling scientific and medical research operation and hundreds of projects that lost federal money.
A lawyer for the government, Michael Velchik, says the government has authority to cancel research grants when an institution is out of compliance with the president’s directives. He said episodes at Harvard violated Trump’s order combating antisemitism.
The rejection on Friday night comes after the delegates’ proposal earlier this month to bar the union from using, endorsing or publicizing any materials from the ADL drew condemnation from prominent Jewish organizations across the country.
In a statement announcing the board’s rejection of the proposal Friday, Becky Pringle, the president of the National Education Association, emphasized that the decision was not a statement of support for the ADL. She also called on the Jewish civil rights watchdog to “support the free speech” of students and educators, in an apparent allusion to criticism of the ADL for opposing some forms of pro-Palestinian advocacy in schools.
[GEO.TV] A horrifying video emerged from Margat, Balochistan ...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it... a few days back. A tribal jirga condemned a woman and a man for reasons still unfolding. They were led into the desert and executed at gunpoint. Their killers filmed the act, firing into their bodies as they lay crumpled, then circulated the footage as spectacle and warning.
It was barbaric and cold-blooded. It wasn't just a murder. It was a message. 11 suspects have been arrested, including the tribal head who ordered the killing. But the question is: what next?
There is no honour in this killing. There never is.
Between January and November 2024, the Human Rights Commission of Pakistain recorded 346 honour-related murders. Human rights defenders estimate the actual number exceeds 1,000 women a year. Most are murdered by male relatives. Few cases see conviction. And the deeper violence, legal loopholes, social complicity, and the quiet withdrawal of justice, remain unchecked.
Consider Farzana Parveen, three months pregnant, stoned to death by her family outside Lahore High Court in May 2014 for marrying without permission. The police stood by. The court she sought could not protect her.
Or Qandeel Baloch, Pakistain's most visible online figure, strangled by her brother in 2016. He was convicted, only to be acquitted in 2022 after their parents forgave him, exploiting the very legal compromise that Parliament had promised to end.
Or the Kohistan ...a backwoods district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa distinguished by being even more rustic than is the norm among the local Pashtuns.... case in 2012, where a jirga ordered the deaths of three girls seen clapping in a wedding video. Years later, convictions were delivered and then reversed.
Or Samia Shahid, a British-Pak woman raped and murdered by her ex-husband in 2016. She had married without her family's approval. Her father and ex-husband were arrested. The case is still pending in the courts.
And this year: Sana Yousaf, 17, bumped off in Islamabad by her cousin. A week later, a 16-year-old girl in Rawalpindi was killed by her father for refusing to delete her TikTok account. Both killings framed as shame. Both now reduced to criminal files. Whether either ends in conviction remains to be seen.
Each one of these stories should have led to sweeping reform. Instead, they have become grim footnotes in Pakistain's struggle between justice and patriarchy. The state's response, including rhetorical outrage, filing of FIRs and committee formation, has become so predictable that it now borders on a performance. When there is no follow-through, justice is reduced to a blurb.
As Bacha Khan once said, "If you wished to know how civilised a culture is, look at how they treat its women". Today, that remains the ultimate indictment of the systems that enable and excuse honour killings. A nation cannot call itself civilised when it allows its daughters to be hunted for choosing freedom.
Pakistain has legislated. In October 2016, parliament passed the Criminal Law (Amendment) (Offence in the Name or Pretext of Honour) Act, making honour killings punishable by life imprisonment even if the victim's family forgives the perpetrator. But the justice system continues to fail. Trials drag on. Complaints are poorly registered. And in this vacuum, illegal jirgas, tribal assemblies with no constitutional or legal standing, continue to operate.
In January 2019, the Supreme Court declared their functioning unlawful, especially in civil and criminal matters. Yet they still pass verdicts and order violence, often against women. Why is the state still allowing them to exist? Parliament must now legislate to unambiguously abolish these forums, particularly in matters of personal liberty and women's rights. If the state does not dismantle them, it enables them.

[IsraelTimes] Military says Palestinian terror suspect was wounded by explosion in Nablus that set off 19-hour manhunt ending in his arrest
A Palestinian terrorist suspected of being behind a botched bus bombing attack in central Israel in February was detained Wednesday by Israeli troops in the West Bank city of Nablus, the IDF, Shin Bet and police announced.
In the attack on February 20, three empty buses exploded in quick succession in parking lots in the Tel Aviv suburf Bat Yam and Holon, and two more unexploded devices were discovered on additional buses in Holon. No casualties were caused.
Abed al-Karim Snober, who is accused of carrying out the attack, was detained following a months-long manhunt, the IDF and Shin Bet said.
According to the military, an explosion Tuesday in Nablus that was likely caused by the terrorist handling additional explosive devices in his possession, led forces to the apartment where he was hiding. The IDF said Snober was wounded and fled the site.
Overnight, IDF troops, Border Police officers and Shin Bet agents led a 19-hour pursuit after the terrorist, at the end of which he was detained.
The military said Wednesday that during scans at the building where the explosion occurred a day earlier, forces found additional primed explosive devices and destroyed them.
The arrest of Snober came after military prosecutors filed an indictment in April against a Palestinian man on suspicion of helping carry out the bus bombings, identifying him at the time as the brother of the suspected terrorist accused of planting the explosives.
A month earlier, the Police Prosecutions Division filed an indictment against a resident of Holon who transported the bomb-planting terrorist to Bat Yam.
Hamas submitted a response to mediators yesterday, but mediators refused to forward it to Israel, calling it "not serious." They told Hamas leaders to revise and resubmit, per two sources cited by Jerusalem_Post.
The Israel Security Agency, Shin Bet, detained a woman accused of plotting to assassinate Prime Minister Netanyahu using an improvised explosive device, alleging she collaborated with others in the conspiracy.

Israeli troops leave Deir el-Balah in ruins
[GEO.TV] The Israel army has withdrawn from the southern part of Deir el-Balah. The military operated in this area for 24 hours, destroying residential buildings and causing severe destruction of civilian infrastructure, Al Jazeera reported.
If only there weren’t war tunnels wired with IEDs under all those building…
Civilians are worried about their safety, but they also have to think about how to get food.
They were warned to leave the fighting zone. If they chose to stay, what happens to them was their choice.
Displacement of civilians and expansions of the Israeli army's ground operations are adding layers and layers of complexity upon people battling for food. Many are unable to travel to the GHF because they are looking for a place where they can set up their makeshift tents and house their families.

Standard US provocation, trying to start a war.
SAC used to aim entire squadrons of nuclear bombers at the USSR, screamingin at top speed exactly as they would in a full-scale attack, only to turn back at the last moment.
Just like how they sent recce aircraft over the border to spy, and then sent flight KAL 007 on the same track violating the border and the commies shot it down thinking it was another spy plane, a major international incident an a victory for the US during the cold war.
CIA are full of geniuses who know how to make the enemy strike first so we look innocent.

KAL 007 isn't Iranian agitprop. Spy planes routinely violated the border, then they sent a passenger airliner on the same track across the border and the Russkies shot it down, not bothering to check the tail number first. That's the same way the Serbians shot down our stealth fighter and why pieces of it are in their national war museum.
Whoever came up with that plan deserves a medal(a classified one, it wouldn't look good in public).
