"On September 27, 2021, 43-year-old Dana Lamar Willis was arrested.

The Portland DA instructed the Portland Police to release him on a signature bond.

Mr. Willis was informed he should avoid contact with knives, at least until after he finishes his voluntary Anger Management counseling session. "

#4  Many areas no go zones now. Even before the apocalypse Philly had no go zones. Local chap did bail bond work on the side had his truck stolen. He located it with GPS and contacted the local police. They said too high crime area to go. When they go they must have at least two officers. So he went and stole his truck back and upon leaving told the officers he had got his truck back. You did what?. We lost a cruiser in that area ourselves. Now that's what I call hutzpah or what others call chutzpah.

Soldier, 24, who was among last to leave Afghanistan during catastrophic US withdrawal is one of three suspected suicides in two days being investigated at Fort Drum army base
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Pfc. Tyler Thomas, 21, Spc. Sika Tapueluelu, 26, and Staff Sgt. Angel Green, 24, are all believed to have died by suicide within 48 hours of each other

  • Their deaths were announced officially by Fort Drum on September 19

  • Green was one of the last soldiers to return from Afghanistan during the chaotic US exit from Kabul and returned to the army base in New York on September 6

  • Their deaths are currently being treated as separate incidents as each soldier served in different platoons and occupied different roles

  • 'We want to know what didn't we catch. What are we missing?' said the soldiers' commander in a statement

  • The soldiers were all part of the 10th Mountain Division which deployed extensively to Iraq and Afghanistan after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks

  • Many members of the division participated in the US military's withdrawal from Afghanistan last month

Egyptian authorities say they blocked Brotherhood financing scheme
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Egyptian authorities said on Thursday they had blocked a scheme aimed at financing the outlawed Moslem Brüderbund and alleged a link to the imprisoned founder and former chairman of dairy and juice firm Juhayna , Safwan Thabet.

The scheme aimed to funnel funds using Thabet’s companies into "terrorist activities", the interior ministry said in a statement, adding that $8.4 million and ammunition had been found in an apartment in Giza, across the Nile from central Cairo. It described Thabet as a "Brotherhood leader".

The Thabet family have denied any wrongdoing in statements on social media. A lawyer for Juhayna could not be reached.

Thabet was arrested in December, and his son Seifeldin was detained in February after taking over as chairman.

In a statement released on Monday, rights group Amnesia Amnesty International said authorities were holding the men in conditions that amounted to torture after they refused to cede assets to a government-owned entity.

Amnesty said the authorities had failed to produce evidence for the alleged affiliation with the Brotherhood.

Juhayna is a household name in Egypt and the country’s largest dairy products and juice producer.

The Brotherhood has been subject to a sweeping crackdown since then-army chief Abdel Fattah al-Sissi led their ouster from power in 2013.

Juhayna continued to operate normally after Sisi became president the following year.
Al Ahram adds:
According to the statement, the National Security Agency found out that MB member Yehia Mahran Othman played a prominent role in said plot by being one of the main arms of the imprisoned Muslim Brotherhood senior figure Safwan Thabet.

Thabet, Egypt's Juhayna Food Industries’ chairman, was arrested in December of last year over charges of calling for unauthorised protests, joining an outlawed group, inciting violence, and financing a terrorist group.

The agency concluded that Thabet assigned Othman to exploit the former's companies in transferring and concealing the terrorist organisation's funds in an attempt to circumvent the legal procedures taken to freeze its assets, the statement added.

According to the statement, Othman operated out of an apartment in Hadayek Al-Ahram district, where he concealed MB funds.

Police forces raided the apartment and discovered a secret room containing a total of $8.4 million along with an undisclosed amount of money in other foreign currencies and a hidden stash of ammunition, the statement read.

All legal procedures were followed, and the Supreme State Security Prosecution was notified to commence its investigations, the statement concluded.

Washington state woman pleads guilty to setting five Seattle police cars on fire
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] A woman in Tacoma, Washington plead guilty on Tuesday for setting fire to five Seattle Police Department vehicles during the violent mostly peaceful riot downtown Seattle following the death of George Floyd last year.

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Senior al Qaeda leader killed in drone strike in Syria, US defense officials say
[FoxNews] Asenior al Qaeda leader has been killed in a dronezap in Syria, U.S. defense officials confirmed to Fox News Thursday.

Salim Abu-Ahmad was killed in a U.S. Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
near Idlib, Syria on Sept. 20. He was responsible for planning, funding, and approving trans-regional al Qaeda attacks.

"There are no indications of civilian casualties," U.S. defense officials said.

The News Agency that Dare Not be Named reported Sept. 20 that a dronezap hit a vehicle traveling on a rural road in rebel-controlled northwestern Syria, killing at least one person.

The Civil Defense team, known as White Helmets, said the unidentified body was lifted from the car along the Idlib-Binnish road east of Idlib province.

U.S. Central Command said American forces had conducted a "kinetic counterterrorism strike" near Idlib province targeting a big shot of the krazed killer group al Qaeda.

"Initial indications are that we struck the individual we were aiming for, and there are no indications of civilian casualties as a result of the strike," said Navy Lt. Josie Lynne Lenny in a statement.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the vehicle had been carrying a krazed killer linked to al Qaeda.

Hizbullah Downs Israeli Drone in South
[AnNahar] Hizbullah
...Party of God, a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran. Hizbullah refers to itself as The Resistance and purports to defend Leb against Israel, with whom it has started and lost one disastrous war to date, though it did claim victory...
on Thursday announced downing an Israeli unmanned drone in south Leb
...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers, a practice dating back to the heady human sacrifice days of Baal Moloch. In 2020 Hezbollahblew up a considerable portion of Beirut and many of its inhabitants when its ammonium nitrate faci8lity exploded. They blamed it on... somebody else. It wasn't them though. Trust them on that...
In a statement, the group said its Death Eaters downed the drone at 1:55 pm after targeting it with the "appropriate weapons."

The statement said the drone was brought down as it was hovering over the Maryamin valley in the outskirts of the southern town of Yater.

The Israeli army meanwhile announced that the drone "fell during routine activity" and that the incident was being "investigated."

Hizbullah had vowed to down Israeli drones overflying Lebanon after an explosive-laden drone blew up over Beirut's southern suburbs in August 2019. It has since announced downing several Israeli drones in Lebanon's skies.
