Shoot spies and traitors and this sort of thing should slow down. I think Mr Toebbe or his wife should be made an example of, for the good of the nation.
[Dallas Morning News] Note the newspaper article is from this morning; the on-line version is dated February 7. People who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 can still test positive for the virus. Health officials have come to refer to that as a "breakthrough case" of the disease. Of vaccine failure, under the old definition of the word "vaccine".
But some health experts say the term can be misleading and misconstrued, especially as new variants have emerged and vaccination rates across the country have slowed.
"I think it was setting the vaccine up for an impossible standard that vaccines can’t possibly meet," said Jennifer Nuzzo, a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security and the lead epidemiologist for the Johns Hopkins COVID-19 Testing Insights Initiative. What "it" are you taking about, Jennifer? Fauci's promise to stop the virus with the Trumpian vaccine, or Biden's promise to 'shut it down' with by vaccinating every last man, woman, and child?
"There’s not a single vaccine that’s 100%," said Dr. Grant Fowler, family medicine department chair at TCU School of Medicine in Fort Worth. He also is chairman of the family medicine department at JPS Health Network. "Our whole goal is to [minimize COVID-19] in the population and protect the vulnerable." Sounds like 'The Great Barrington Declaration' to me.
Nuzzo, who spoke last month at a webinar, said the term "breakthrough" may give people a false impression about the function of a vaccine.
"They’re not forcefields," she said. "They don’t repel the virus from your body."
Here’s what health experts said you need to know about the term "breakthrough case" and how COVID-19 vaccines work.
Cells have to be infected for the vaccine to respond
The scientific definition of infection means that a person must encounter a disease for a vaccine to respond, Nuzzo said.
The goal of a vaccine isn’t to eliminate all infections
Ultimately, a successful vaccine shouldn’t be viewed as one that eliminates infection, but one that fits the new definition of 'vaccine' significantly reduces hospitalizations and death, Nuzzo said.
More COVID-19 cases means more breakthrough infections
"We often hold up the measles vaccine as the standard of the best vaccine," Nuzzo said. "But if we had a lot of measles circulating, and if we did a lot of testing, we would see a lot more breakthrough infections that we just don’t notice because the symptoms are so mild."
Other terms for "breakthrough"
’If I’m talking to the lay person, I try to use the word ’have gotten two doses of vaccine and an infection,’ or ’two doses of vaccine and COVID,’ depending on the situation," Sahly said. Which includes Mrs. Bobby and your snarker.

These assholes have lied so many times, and moved the goalposts so many times, that there is literally nothing they claim now that can be believed.
They've destroyed the prestige and respect of the western medical establishment. Gone.
Notice that both India and Russia refused the Pfizer and Moderna pseudo-vaccine experimental gene therapies and instead have gone with their own formulated, real ie traditional vaccines, plus sensible early treatments including HCQ, ivermectin and cocktails of azythromycin, zinc, vitamin D etc.
So now we have close to half the world's population laughing at the pretensions of the western bio-medical establishment and getting (in India's case, at least) superior results by ignoring our sssholes and going their own way.
I was never a vaxxer but it's obvious now that our bio-medical elites are incompetent and dangerously ignorant in all matters related to immunology and virology. They cannot be trusted any more than the global warming hysterics and their ridiculous "climate change models" can be trusted. End of an era.

The age <= 5 demographic has always been remarkably resistant to infection with COVID-19, their death #s are less than in the same demographic from influenza in an average influenza season. Unless & until health officials can explain why/how this is the case, they don't know what they're talking about.

[Breitbart] A six-time deported illegal alien has been found guilty of murdering three individuals in the sanctuary state of Oregon.
On June 27, 2016, illegal alien Bonifacio Oseguera-Gonzalez arrived at a housing unit where he had been living with fellow employees for a nearby blueberry farm.
While in the kitchen of the residence, Gonzalez fired a loaded gun at Edmundo Amando-Bajonero before shooting Refugio Modesto De La Cruz, Katie Gildersleeve, and Rigoberto Reyes-Mendoza.
While De La Cruz survived the gunshot wounds, Amando-Bajonero, Gildersleeve, and Reyes-Mendoza all died at the scene. Even as Gildersleeve tried to flee, Gonzalez chased her into the driveway, trying to shoot her again and eventually grabbing a knife to stab her.
Gonzalez, after his arrest, was charged with three counts of first-degree murder with a firearm and two counts of attempted first-degree murder with a firearm. Prosecutors have since settled with Gonzalez, committing him to a lifetime of oversight by the state’s Psychiatric Security Review Board.
Should Gonzalez be released from the Oregon State Hospital at any time, he will carry out the remaining 25-year sentence under the jurisdiction of the Oregon Department of Corrections.
Gonzalez was first deported from the United States to Mexico in 2003 but was rearrested in Oregon in 2007 before being deported again. Gonzalez was arrested on local charges in Marion County, Oregon, in 2009 and was turned over to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency for his third deportation.
In 2010, Gonzalez was twice arrested along the Arizona-Mexico border by U.S. Border Patrol agents and each time deported him to Mexico. He was last deported in 2013 after again illegally crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. He returned to the U.S. at a later date.
Oregon has a rigid sanctuary state policy that bans public officials and law enforcement from cooperating with ICE agents — shielding criminal illegal aliens from arrest and deportation.
[Washington Times] Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton is the subject of accusations in court documents that her campaign spied on Donald Trump, but supporters in her party are shrugging off the claim ahead of her much-anticipated speech before the New York State Democratic Party Convention on Thursday.
Democrats say the bombshell accusations from special counsel John Durham are just more reckless attacks, and they won’t let it spoil daydreams about Mrs. Clinton standing in for President Biden in 2024 if necessary.
"I think this is going to be met with an eye roll," Dora Leland, chairwoman of the Chemung County, New York, Democratic Committee, told The Washington Times. "People are tired, or at least Democrats are tired, of all the incessant attacks on her, and a lot of them just come up warrantless and without any basis in fact."

Mrs. Clinton couldn’t beat The Donald back when he was an unknown quantity, even with the entire establishment working to pull her over the finish line. I strongly believe she would be the perfect standard bearer for the Democratic Party two years from now, when campaigning from the basement won’t be possible.

Also, any money donated to her campaign is money taken from other Democratic politicians with a better chance of winning their races, a very good thing.

By the way, the same internet company and people that were doing the spying on Trump while he was in the whitehouse also happen to have been on the payroll of the Biden campaign.

Mayor Eric Adams fired more than 1,400 unvaccinated government workers who did not abide by the city's deadline to receive at least one jab by February 11
Within those who were fired - 36 NYPD personnel, 25 Fire Department workers and 914 Department of Education staffers were included
The 1,430 workers who lost their jobs represent less than 1 percent of the 370,000-person city workforce
New York City has imposed some of the most sweeping vaccine mandates in the country, requiring almost all city workers to be vaccinated
The Big Apple also requires private employers to ensure their workers get vaccinated as well

[INVERSE] IT’S TIME for doctors to "aggressively" address high blood pressure when advising young adults, say the researchers behind a new preliminary analysis. This study suggests an association between having high blood pressure in early adulthood and an increased risk of brain changes later in life.
These changes can cause cognitive decline, which is when the brain has more difficulty with abilities like memory, awareness, judgment, and mental acuity. Two out of three Americans will experience some degree of cognitive decline by the time they are 70, but studies suggest disadvantaged groups experience the decline at a younger age — and in turn, experience more years impaired.
Prior studies also suggest Black individuals are more likely than white individuals to develop hypertension, and "have significantly faster decline in cognition," explains lead study author Christina Lineback, a vascular neurology fellow at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago. There is new evidence that this may begin in young adults, she explains.
"We do not completely understand why this is," Lineback tells me. "We hope to better identify when and which risk factors lead to faster cognitive decline. We believe this could help to narrow the gap in racial health disparities in brain and heart disease."
[WAPO via MSN] LAREDO, Tex. — At the busiest commercial border crossing in North America, trucks stream into the United States at a rate of 500 per hour during peak times. Drug traffickers play the percentages.
Fewer than 5 percent of the vehicles are typically screened by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) with the powerful high-energy scanners that can peer deep inside cargo loads to detect "anomalies" — odd patterns or suspicious densities that could be illegal drugs. The inspections require drivers to leave their vehicles and endure delays.
With fatal drug overdose deaths in the United States soaring to record levels, Congress has directed CBP to come up with a plan to scan 100 percent of arriving vehicles. Here and across the U.S. southern border, the agency is preparing to roll out new "nonintrusive" inspection systems to screen significantly more trucks.
These "multi-energy portals" will zap the cargo areas with high-energy waves, but use safer low-energy screening for the cab, allowing the drivers to remain in their vehicles and clear inspection faster, the agency says.

[IsraelTimes] Security officials reportedly advised Shaked to prevent Sheikh Raed Salah from traveling abroad amid concerns he will continue anti-Israel activity.
Interior Minister Ayelet Shaked on Monday signed an order prohibiting bully boyMoslemholy man Sheikh Raed Salah
... alternately Raed Saleh, he fancies the title "Sheikh of Al Aqsa" as suitable for the head of the outlawed Northern Branch of the Islamic Movement, the militant arm of the Israeli branch of the Muslim Brotherhood based in Umm al-Fahm in the Galilee. Sheikh Saleh’s role is to cycle in and out of Israeli prisons for the cause...
from leaving the country.
Security officials had advised Shaked to take the measure in order to stymie Salah’s ability to renew his activities for the Islamic Movement, according to Hebrew media reports.
Salah has long been one of Israel’s most prominent Islamists. He led the Islamic Movement’s radical Northern Branch until it was banned by the government in 2015 for its alleged terror ties. Israeli authorities charged that the Northern Branch had helped incite a wave of stabbing attacks and car-rammings against Israelis.
Salah was arrested two years later and eventually convicted of incitement to terror, as well as supporting a banned ...the word banned seems to have a different meaning in Pakistain than it does in most other places. Or maybe it simply lacks any meaning at all...
organization — in this case, his own movement.
He was released in December last year after serving 17 months and given a hero’s welcome in his hometown of Umm al-Fahm in the north of the country.
Salah was incarcerated for praising a 2017 attack by three Arab Israeli bandidosgunnies at the holy Temple Mount site in Jerusalem’s Old City; the assailants shot full of holes two Druze coppers before being killed by Israeli forces.
The hilltop is Judaism’s holiest place, as the site of both Biblical Temples, as well as the third-holiest sanctuary of Islam. The incident — and an Israeli decision to intensify security on the hilltop — precipitated days of intense festivities between Israeli forces and Paleostinians. Several Paleostinians were killed, both while committing attacks and during festivities with Israeli troops.
According to the verdict against him, Salah gave a sermon in the midst of the crisis in which he praised the "deaders of al-Aqsa."
Salah gave a similar speech at a symbolic funeral for the three button men in Umm al-Fahm, and a would-be stabber from the city who was arrested in Tel Aviv days later indicated he had been inspired by Salah’s words, according to the conviction.
Israel’s Islamic Movement was founded in the early 1970s by Sheikh Abdullah Nimr Darwish, a preacher from Kafr Qasim.
In the 1990s, the Islamists split over the negotiations between Israel and the Paleostinians that led to the Oslo Accords. Darwish’s Southern faction embraced the grinding of the peace processor, eventually entering the Knesset as the Ra’am faction. The party is now a member of the ruling coalition.
The more radical Salah and his disciples — the so-called Northern Branch — staunchly opposed the Oslo Accords and Israeli parliamentary politics alike. The division was rarely publicly acknowledged, with both parties continuing to call themselves simply "the Islamic Movement."
Salah had previously been convicted on a number of occasions of terror charges and in 2017 was released from prison after serving a nine-month sentence for incitement to violence and racism.
Nonetheless, his 2020 conviction was slammed by Arab Israeli parliamentarians as an attempt to suppress free speech.
NEW YORK, Feb 14 (Reuters) - A U.S. judge said on Monday he will throw out Sarah Palin's defamation lawsuit against the New York Times (NYT.N), after concluding that an editorial in the newspaper did not maliciously link the former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican U.S. vice presidential candidate to a mass murder.
In an abrupt twist in a trial seen as a test of longstanding protections for American media, U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff in Manhattan said Palin's lawsuit must be dismissed because she failed to show the Times acted with "actual malice," the standard in lawsuits involving public figures.
The judge ruled on the trial's eighth day while jurors were still deliberating, and did not inform them of his plan. Rakoff said he plans to enter a formal dismissal only after jurors, who began deliberations on Friday, reach their own verdict.
Rakoff said he expected Palin to appeal, and that the appeals court "would greatly benefit from knowing how the jury would decide it."
His action effectively takes the case out of the hands of jurors. "If you see anything in the media about this case, just turn away," Rakoff told them before dismissing them for the day.
Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Once again our life sitting autocrats ignore the plain language of 'the' law. You can not have two standards of law, one for public and one for private persons.

Palin's lawsuit must be dismissed because she failed to show the Times acted with "actual malice,"
Definitely not a lawyer, but isn't that the question the jury is supposed to decide? There is some lawyerly buzz floating around about how dismissing the case while still directing the jury to deliberate is not weird, no matter how weird it sounds. I don't get it.
[Townhall] Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (N.Y.) in a recent interview slammed Congress as a "s--t show" and said that the failure to extend the child tax credit through the Build Back Better Act has led to the rise in crime seen in cities across the country. America's Dumbest Bartender, depreciating the value of Boston U economics degrees daily
The progressive congresswoman explained to the New Yorker in an interview published Monday that Congress is a "s--t show" and is "scandalizing" every day.
"What is surprising to me is how it never stops being scandalizing," Ocasio-Cortez said. "Some folks perhaps get used to it, or desensitized to the many different things that may be broken, but there is so much reliance on this idea that there are adults in the room, and, in some respect, there are. But sometimes to be in a room with some of the most powerful people in the country and see the ways that they make decisions—sometimes they’re just susceptible to groupthink, susceptible to self-delusion."
She also suggested that the U.S. may no longer have a democracy in the years to come, prompting the interviewer to press her on the matter.
"I think there's a very real risk that we will not. What we risk is having a government that perhaps postures as a democracy, and may try to pretend that it is, but isn't," Ocasio-Cortez said, adding that she believes the country is at risk of returning to Jim Crow.
The Democrat claimed that the child tax credit expiring at the end of 2021 may have led to the crime spike in a number of U.S. cities.
"We don't want to say some of the things that are obvious, like, 'Gee, the child-tax credit just ran out, on December 31st, and now people are stealing baby formula.' We don't want to have that discussion," she said. "We want to say these people are criminals or we want to talk about 'people who are violent,' instead of 'environments of violence,' and what we’re doing to either contribute to that or dismantle that."
The child tax credit was included in the American Rescue Plan but expired at the end of December after Congress failed to pass Build Back Better or a standalone credit.
A $3,600 a year credit per child for parents of children under six, and a $3,000 a year credit per child for children between the ages of six and 18 was included in the American Rescue Plan. Now, after the expiration, parents will only receive the $2,000 per child credit included in the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

[IsraelTimes] A spokesperson for Energy Minister Karine Elharrar says Israelis are right to gush over Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi’s warm welcome for her at the Egyptian Petroleum Show in Cairo.
"The president approaching the minister, the fact that he said he is happy she came and invited her to return is super exciting and testifies to the fact that ties that were once under wraps have become public," the spokesperson says, adding that the display was not totally expected.
This is the first time Israel has been invited to the major regional gas conference, which has met four times before, according to Elharrar’s spokesperson. Most Egyptians reject normalization with Israel despite a peace treaty between the countries.
Elharrar says that Israels’ energy industry is "a bridge for regional ties," in comments carried by Ynet.
According to to the news site, Elharrar indicated to the conference that Israeli gas would eventually reach Lebanon Hezbollahstan ...a formerly French, now an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. ... , via Egypt.
On Twitter, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett joins the crush of Israelis praising the authoritarian leader for his gesture to the Israeli minister, saying he "touched us all."
[Free Beacon] A lawyer for the Clinton campaign in early 2017 gave computer data to the CIA that was obtained from the Trump White House and Trump Tower’s computer servers through a "sensitive" government contract, according to Special Counsel John Durham. Gave? But, but, but I thought nothing was free ?
Durham alleged in A Court Filing that Michael Sussmann, a cybersecurity lawyer who worked for the Clinton campaign, met with the CIA in February 2017 to provide the agency with a dossier of purported computer links between Trump and Russia. Sussmann obtained the sensitive data from a tech executive whose firm monitored web traffic for the White House executive office. Rodney Joffe, the executive, "exploited" the White House data, as well as that of Trump Tower and Donald Trump’s apartment building in Manhattan, in order to find "derogatory" information about Trump’s ties to Russia, according to Durham. The prosecutor said his investigators have found no evidence to support the information Sussmann passed to the CIA.
Durham leveled the explosive allegation in a court filing Friday as part of the federal case against Sussmann. He is Charged with lying to the FBI in September 2016 about the extent of his efforts to investigate Trump’s ties to Russia. He is also accused of withholding information from the CIA during his February 2017 meeting that undercut the theory of nefarious web links between Trump and Russia. Durham refers to the CIA as "Agency-2" throughout court filings, but news outlets have Confirmed the identify of the agency.
The court filing shows the extent to which Clinton operatives went to portray Trump as an agent of Russia. Sussmann’s fellow Clinton campaign lawyer, Marc Elias, commissioned the Steele dossier, which falsely accused Trump of colluding with Russia in order to win the 2016 election. Elias Briefed Clinton campaign officials, including current national security adviser Jake Sullivan, about the investigation of Trump. Sussmann and Elias also provided their findings to media outlets in order to prompt investigations into Trump.

Unsolicited was it? Sussmann simply gave it to them did he, no strings attached? A simple, philanthropic gesture ?
Of course the Klingons, not wishing to violate the prohibition against intelligence collection targeting of US Citizens, quickly reported the incident to the DoJ and FBI. The FBI now has the data stored safely adjacent the Hunter laptops.
Excuse me while I anxiously await news of the Jeffrey Epstein Little St James US Virgin Island - Clinton Foundation connection. Yes, the connection Julian Assange and Seth Rich were stumbling all around.
Strange isn't it, just when we were starting to remove our COVID masks and feel good about ourselves, so many imprisoned, so many dead? It's nearly too much to process.

Best comprehensiver deep dive, sourced and detailed description of not only the RussiaGate hoaxing, but the entire Obama era transformation of the federal executive branch...
[IsraelTimes] American military says flight was meant to demonstrate its ability to send aircraft from UK to the Middle East ’seamlessly,’ given tensions in the region.
Israeli F-15 fighter jets escorted an American B-52 bomber as it made its way through Israeli airspace en route to the Persian Gulf on Monday in an apparent show of force to Iran ...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... amid lingering tensions in the region.
"The flight was held as part of close cooperation with the US military, which represents a significant element in ensuring the security of the State of Israel’s airspace and the Middle East," the Israel Defense Forces said in a statement.
The B-52H Stratofortress, which is capable of carrying a nuclear weapon, flew from its base in the United Kingdom, through the Straits of Gibraltar, over the Mediterranean, through Israeli airspace and out over the Red Sea, before traveling back on roughly the same route to the United Kingdom, as could be seen on public flight-tracking software.
The US military said the flight was meant to demonstrate the "US Air Force’s ability to seamlessly operate across combatant commands." It said the B-52 was also accompanied by two F/A-18 Hornet fighter jets.
Israeli jets escorting American bombers have become a regular fixture in the skies of the Middle East in recent months as tensions between Tehran and the West have risen, while an attempt is underway to negotiate a new nuclear deal to prevent the Islamic Theocratic Republic from obtaining an atomic weapon in exchange for sanctions relief.
Israel, which is not a party to the talks, has maintained its freedom to act against Tehran’s nuclear program if it deems it necessary.
To that end, the Israeli Air Force has begun conducting exercises simulating strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, with a US military official reportedly observing one recent drill.
Recent weeks have also seen a noted rise in attacks by the Iran-backed Iran's Houthi sock puppets ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him... militia in Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of... against the United Arab Emirates and Saudia Arabia, two key US allies in the region.
[Breitbart] Earlier this week in the Austrian capital of Vienna, a Syrian migrant was stabbed and cut several times after allegedly attempting to rape a young woman in the district of Meidling.
The attack, which took place on Tuesday evening but was not made public by Vienna police until Friday, occurred when a 22-year-old Vienna woman was set upon as she attempted to enter her apartment on Schönbrunner Straße just before midnight.
The suspect in the case is said to have grabbed the young woman in her intimate areas and pushed her to the ground but as the suspect tried to force himself on the young woman, she pulled out a knife and began stabbing and slashing at him, Kronen Zeitung reports.
The Syrian then expeditiously departed at a goodly pace with the victim’s purse and was found at a nearby subway station by police where he was then taken to a nearby hospital to treat the injuries he had sustained.
According to Vienna police, the man is a 24-year-old Syrian asylum seeker and was intoxicated at the time of his arrest. He also was also reported to be in possession of a small quantity of marijuana on his person.
The local prosecutor’s office is also reportedly seeking to charge the woman involved in the case for bodily injury against the migrant, a move that was condemned by her lawyer. Sounds like the local prosecutor needs a raping/beating to see how it feels?
The case comes several months after another migrant would-be rapist was fought off by their victim in the municipality of Sant Andreu de la Barca, thirty minutes from Barcelona in Spain.
The case, which took place last year in June, saw a Bangladeshi migrant attempt to rape one of his employees, who is also from Bangladesh, but the victim ended up grabbing a knife and cutting off her attacker’s penis.

The smuggling of drugs and humans across our border seems to be going according to DS/left-wing/Dem plans. If this weren't true, Bidet would have left Trump's control measures in place (agreements with countries south of our border, withholding aid unless they help control our border, wall and other means). Since there is large amounts of money involved, what's the flow of money back through the U.S. and into the coffers of those who benefit, namely those mentioned in the first sentence? Networks?

The bombing targeted a ground station for satellites in the vicinity of the telecommunication ministry in northern Sanaa, residents told Reuters.
Later on Monday, Houthi-run TV Al Masirah reported a coalition attack targeting the telecommunication ministry, destroying the TeleYemen telecoms company building and damaging a neighboring building.
The coalition said the Iran-backed Houthi militia use ministry headquarters to “launch hostile operations,” and as a response a site linked to the latest attack on Saudi Arabia’s Abha international airport would be destroyed.

[REGNUM] The editor-in-chief of the news agency REGNUM sent a letter to the director of the FSB of Russia A.V. Bortnikov with the following content:
"According to Article 67, paragraph 2.1 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation: 'The Russian Federation ensures the protection of its sovereignty and territorial integrity. Actions (with the exception of delimitation, demarcation, redemarcation of the state border of the Russian Federation with neighboring states) aimed at alienating part of the territory of the Russian Federation, as well as calls for such actions, are not allowed.
According to Art. 280.2. The Criminal Code of the Russian Federation: "Violation of the territorial integrity of the Russian Federation:" "Alienation of a part of the territory of the Russian Federation or other actions (with the exception of delimitation, demarcation, redemarcation of the State Border of the Russian Federation with neighboring states) aimed at violating the territorial integrity of the Russian Federation, in the absence of signs of crimes, provided for in Articles 278, 279 and 280.1 of this Code – shall be punishable by imprisonment for a term of six to ten years."
On February 10, 2022, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss met in Moscow, during which, to a question from Sergei Lavrov:
"You recognize the sovereignty of Russia over the Rostov and Voronezh regions?"
Liz Truss replied categorically:
"The UK will never recognize Russian sovereignty over these regions." Top. People.

[IsraelTimes] Cause of blaze still unknown; recent attacks on Iranian military and nuclear sites have been blamed on Israel.
A fire erupted at a military base in western Iran, state-linked media reported on Monday, the latest in a series of blazes and other mishaps affecting the country’s infrastructure in recent months.
The fire broke out at a warehouse full of engine oil and flammable materials at a base belonging to Iran’s powerful paramilitary Revolutionary Guard in the western province of Kemranshah, the Iranian website Nournews reported.
The blaze damaged a shed but did not cause any casualties. Investigators were looking into the cause and details, the report added.
No deaths and no casualties? It wasn’t the Israelis.
The day before, unconfirmed reports proliferated online about several explosions heard in northern Kermanshah, a strategic location in Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites.... with various missile and military sites.
Sensitive military and nuclear sites have been the target of attacks in the past years, which Iran has blamed on Israel.
The fire broke out as Iran remains on edge about negotiations over its nuclear program continuing in Vienna this week. The 2015 deal that granted Iran sanctions relief in exchange for curbs on its nuclear program collapsed nearly four years ago when former President Donald Trump ...Oh, noze! Not him!... withdrew the U.S. from the accord and re-imposed crushing sanctions.
After months of slow progress, diplomats have said the nuclear negotiations are reaching a decisive phase.
Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian said Monday if the United States and Europa ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... return to their commitments, a good and "short-term" agreement is possible.
"We are in a hurry to reach a good agreement," the Iranian diplomat said, "but within the framework of rational negotiations and achieving the rights and interests of the Iranian people."
Amirabdollahian said if the other parties threaten and warn Iran that this will be the last round of talks, there will be no negotiations.
Iran says the country’s nuclear program is peaceful.

This seems like a clue. Bad luck, bad housekeeping, or maybe one of those Mossad spy squirrels crawls into that bucket of oily rags in the corner and shorts out its lithium battery... I tell ya, they are like little furry Teslas!
Shafaq News/ On Monday, an explosive device blew up near a coffee shop in Miqdadiyah district, northeast of Baqubah.
A security source in Diyala told Shafaq News Agency that the device exploded yesterday night, targeting a shop near Al-Zahraa Hospital in the center of Miqdadiyah district, causing only material damage.
"The security forces cordoned off the accident scene and stepped up security measures at the main entrances of the District." He added.
The was no claim for responsibility.
The Miqdadiyah areas in Diyala have been a target of frequent attacks and security incidents that killed security forces, government officials, and civilians and displaced thousands of families.
[Epoch Times] U.S. District Judge James Cain blocked the president’s January 2021 executive order that would factor in an alleged "social cost" for emissions of carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide when policymakers create rules.
"The Court agrees that the public interest and balance of equities weigh heavily in favor of granting a preliminary injunction," Cain wrote in an order (pdf) as he issued a temporary injunction. Who will tell AOC? What about Greta?
Cain, an appointee of former President Donald Trump, sided with states in their lawsuit against the federal government and agreed that "the harms to their States and their citizens’ economic well-being more than suffice to establish standing and the possibility of irreparable harm."
Biden’s order, the judge added, "will harm Plaintiff States’ ability to purchase affordable energy to carry out their sovereign functions" as the mandate will "significantly drive up costs while simultaneously significantly decrease States revenues resulting in the inability of the Plaintiff States to carry out their sovereign duties to their citizens."

[AlAhram] Afghanistan will be forced to reconsider its policy towards the United States unless Washington reverses a decision to freeze part of the country's assets as compensation for victims of the September 11 attacks, the Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... said Monday.
"The 9/11 attacks had nothing to do with Afghanistan. If the United States does not deviate from its position and continues its provocative actions, the Islamic Emirate will also be forced to reconsider its policy towards the country," the Taliban deputy front man said in a statement posted to Twitter.
Last Friday US President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. An incredibly corrupt version of Jar-Jar Binks, only well into his dotage. The dumbass who abandoned Afghanistan.... seized $7 billion in assets belonging to the previous Afghan government, aiming to split the funds between victims of September 11, 2001, attacks on the United States, and desperately needed aid for post-war Afghanistan.
The move drew an angry response from the country's new Taliban leaders, which branded the seizure a "theft" and a sign of US "moral decay."
On Monday they went further, saying: "Any misappropriation of the property of the Afghan people under the pretext of this incident is a clear violation of the agreement reached with the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan," the Taliban's name for the country.
[Breitbart] Mexico’s president drew harsh criticism from various international press freedom organizations after he singled out a journalist for revealing his son’s alleged income and other personal information. The confrontational statements between politician and journalists in Mexico follows the deaths of five journalists killed since the start of the year.
In recent days, Mexican Journalist Carlos Loret De Mola published an expose claiming that President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador’s (AMLO) son, Jose Ramon Beltran, is living a life of luxury in Houston benefiting from companies that had dealings with Mexico’s oil company Pemex (Petroleos Mexicanos). Loret de Mola pointed to two houses in Houston, as well as Jose Ramon’s alleged lavish lifestyle even though he has no real source of income. Of course he does: El Grande Hombre
This week, Lopez Obrador lashed out at Loret De Mola by revealing a series of PowerPoint slides with the journalist’s financial information claiming that the journalist made over $1.5 million USD for writing hit pieces against his government. AMLO repeatedly claimed that since he took office in 2018, corruption and impunity have ended in Mexico and that critical news stories are pushed by corrupt news outlets serving his rivals.
Loret De Mola published a short video soon after being singled out by AMLO claiming that the information was false and that releasing financial information about an individual is a crime. In one example, AMLO claimed that Loret De Mola earned millions of Pesos for working in Televisa. However, the journalist claimed that he left his job as an anchor in that channel in 2019. Loret De Mola then said he would redouble his efforts in exposing a “dictator” in the making.
In prior days, AMLO lashed out against other journalists who he praised under prior administrations such as Carmen Aristegui. International press freedom organizations have called out the Mexican president for targeting news outlets while little has been done by the government in stopping the impunity with which journalists have been killed in Mexico As Breitbart Texas has reported, since the start of the year, there have been five journalists killed, sparking mass outrage from journalists throughout. Activists claim that under AMLO’s administration, there have been more journalists killed than in prior administrations.

Shafaq News / The Investigation and Evidence Gathering department in Duhok governorate revealed today that an international team will unearth a mass grave in Hardan area, in Sinjar district.
The department's spokesman, Nechirvan Soleiman, said that the team will begin its work on February 20, in coordination with the mass graves directorate in Baghdad, in addition to a team from the Kurdistan region.
Soleiman indicated that the number of mass graves in Sinjar has reached 105, noting that they contain bodies of Yazidi victims who were killed by ISIS terrorists when they invaded the city back in 2014.
The joint national team, in cooperation with the international team, managed to excavate 27 mass graves in Sinjar until today, he added.
In August 2014, ISIS invaded Sinjar district, in Nineveh governorate, committed bloody massacres against its Yazidi community, and abducted more than 5,000 young girls and women whose fate is still unknown until today.
[FOX] White House deputy press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre refused to answer questions about the Durham probe during Monday's press briefing despite new revelations regarding Democratic efforts to link former President Donald Trump to Russia.
"I can't speak to that report," Jean-Pierre told reporters on Monday. "I refer you to the Department of Justice."
The exchange comes afters special counsel John Durham released in a filing Saturday alleging that lawyers for the Clinton campaign paid a technology company to infiltrate servers belonging to Trump Tower, and later the White House, in order to establish an "inference" and "narrative" to bring to government agencies linking Trump to Russia.
The court filing alleges that the tech executive used company access to government domain name system data through a pending cybersecurity contract with the government.
[FOX] FIRST ON FOX: Special Counsel John Durham’s investigation has "accelerated," and more people are "cooperating" and coming before the federal grand jury than has previously been reported, a source familiar with the probe told Fox News.
The source told Fox News Monday that Durham has run his investigation "very professionally," and, unlike Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation, his activities, and witness information and cooperation status are rarely, if ever, leaked.
"Durham does this right and keeps it a secret," the source said, adding that there has been "much more activity" in Durham’s investigation "than has been visible to the public."
The closest look Durham has given with regard to grand jury witnesses came in a federal court filing last month, outlining materials that had been provided by the special counsel’s office to defense attorneys for former Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann.
Sussmann has been charged making a false statement to a federal agent. Sussmann has pleaded not guilty.

[NEWSFrontInfo] Over the past day, four violations of the ceasefire regime have been recorded by Ukrainian militants.
In the Donetsk direction, militants of the 54th ombr from positions in the area of the settlement. Marinka from small arms fired at the area of the settlement. Alexandrovka.
In the Mariupol direction, militants of the 36th brigade from positions in the area of the settlement. Water from mortars with a caliber of 120 mm, RPGs and small arms fired twice at the area of the settlement. Leninskoye.
Also, from positions in n.p. Talakovka militants of the 36th brigade fired from mortars with a caliber of 120mm near the settlement. Kominternovo, firing three mines.
Since the beginning of the current day, Ukrainian militants have once violated the ceasefire.
In the Gorlovsky direction, militants of the 95th brigade fired from mortars with a caliber of 82 mm at the area of the settlement. Zaitsevo (southern).
In violation of the third paragraph of the additional measures, the placement of two ZU-23 anti-aircraft guns from the 53rd OMB on the territory of a private household in the settlement was revealed. Khlebodarovka.
The low moral and business qualities of the Ukrainian militants and the lack of control by the command led to another tragedy in the zone of the punitive operation.
So, on February 13, two militants of the 53rd brigade, taking advantage of the illegal absence of the unit commander, left their positions without permission, taking Makarov's service pistols with them.
Punishers went to the cafe "Kirpich" n.p. Granite. While idly spending time drinking hard liquor, Kiev militants allowed themselves to use foul language and insult other visitors to the establishment, accusing them of “separatism” and “hatred of Ukraine.” Cafe staff and visitors tried to calm the drunken military and made a few remarks to them, which led to a verbal skirmish and conflict.
After that, the Kiev militants left the cafe, as it turned out later with criminal intent. Being on the street near the cafe "Kirpich", they waited until their opponents went out to smoke, opened fire on them with pistols, and then fled the scene of the crime. As a result of the actions of the militants, 46-year-old citizen Rudnitsky died on the spot, three more visitors received serious gunshot wounds in the groin, leg and shoulder.
One of the wounded later died in the hospital, presumably he was a soldier of the National Guard of Ukraine, who also rested in this institution.
We have information that the militants who fled the scene of the crime, in addition to shooting the visitors of the cafe "Kirpich", shot at a civilian in the settlement. Chermalyk, located on the banks of the river.
Now the killers have been detained, it has been established that the serial number on one of the pistols has been destroyed, which indicates that this weapon was not subject to accounting and was intended for illegal export from the JFO zone, possibly for the purpose of further resale on the territory of Ukraine.
The Ukrainian command seeks not to make this incident public, to conduct an investigation without involving the media. It should be noted that conflicts between Kiev militants and the local population in the Donbas occur regularly. Ukrainian punishers, feeling their impunity, threaten citizens and intimidate them.
In turn, we call on international observers, as well as human rights organizations, to record the fact that a war crime was committed by the armed formations of Ukraine in the settlement Granite.
In accordance with the Geneva Convention for the Protection of Civilian Population in Time of War, we believe that the criminals should be extradited to the International Criminal Court, in addition, the command of the killers, including the commander of the 53rd brigade Tishchenko, should not escape responsibility, since, in accordance with International law, the commander is responsible for violations of conventions by subordinates, as he did not take the necessary measures to prevent them.

[Breitbart] Guatemalan authorities working with U.S. agents arrested 10 human smugglers tied to a 2021 police massacre ending with the deaths of 19. Mexican cops killed 16 migrants and three smugglers near the border with Texas. The smugglers are part of an organization with ties to a fugitive former mayor in Guatemala.
The arrests began in late January, a statement by the Guatemalan government revealed. The investigation focused on the Coronado-Miranda smuggling organization and led to the arrests of 10 individuals.
The smugglers are allegedly responsible for moving 16 Guatemalan migrants into Mexico to the border city of Camargo. In January 2021, rogue Tamaulipas police officers killed everyone in the human smuggling convoy, set their bodies on fire, and tried to stage the crime scene as a cartel gun battle.
An ongoing investigation by Mexican authorities led to the arrest of 12 Tamaulipas police officers. As Breitbart Texas reported exclusively, the case also pointed to widespread corruption inside Mexico’s National Immigration Institute and other agencies since the vehicles from the massacre were previously seized by authorities in Nuevo Leon but mysteriously returned to human smugglers.
During recent raids in Guatemala, authorities seized $203,000 USD, five vehicles, 61 gambling machines, and communication devices, a statement from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement revealed.
According to local news outlets in Guatemala, the Coronado-Miranda organization had political protection since one of its leaders is the former Mayor of Comitancillo, Ramiro Coronado Perez, a fugitive.
[IsraelTimes] Hailing bilateral ties, Abdel-Fattah Burhan says security cooperation with Jerusalem enabled Khartoum to dismantle dangerous Sudanese bully boy groups
Sudan’s top general has lauded recent ties with Israel in a Saturday interview, saying that intelligence sharing between the two former adversaries helped arrest suspected gunnies in his country.
The two countries normalized relations late in 2020 as part of a series of US-brokered deals between Israel and four Arab countries — the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan and Morocco. Israel and Sudan have since crafted security and intelligence relationships that have seen officials exchange meetings repeatedly in unannounced trips.
Gen. Abdel-Fattah Burhan, head of the ruling Sovereign Council, said exchange of intelligence has enabled Sudan to dismantle and arrest suspected bully boy groups in Sudan that "could have undermined the security of Sudan and the region."
Speaking in an interview with Sudan’s state-run TV aired late Saturday, Burhan said it is legitimate for Sudanese security and intelligence agencies to have ties and exchange visits with Israel.
He insisted his country’s relations with Israel are not of a political nature, saying that no senior Sudanese official has yet made a visit to Israel. He did not elaborate.
There was no immediate comment from Israel. Israel has been silent on the October military coup in Sudan, led by Burhan, and the ensuing unrest there, indicating it intends to maintain normalized ties with Sudan.
Sudanese and Israeli officials exchanged unannounced visits in recent weeks. Most recently, a Sudanese security delegation visited Tel Aviv last week, following a visit by Israeli officials, including Mossad intelligence officers, to Khartoum in January.
In October, the then Sudanese justice minister, Nasredeen Abdulbari, and Israel’s Deputy Foreign Minister Idan Roll and Regional Cooperation Minister Issawi Frej held a rare public meeting in the United Arab Emirates’ capital of Abu Dhabi.
The normalization of ties with Israel paved the way for Sudan to reintegrate into the international community after two decades of isolation under former autocratic President Omar al-Bashir ...Former President-for-Life of Sudan He came to power in 1989 when he, as a brigadier in the Sudanese army, led a group of officers in a bloodless military coup that ousted the government of Prime Minister Sadiq al-Mahdi and eventually appointed himself head cheese. He fell out with his Islamic mentor, Hasan al-Turabi, tried to impose shariah on the Christian and animist south, resulting in its secessesion, and attempted to Arabize Darfur by unleashing the barbaric Janjaweed on it. Sudan's potential prosperity has been pissed away in warfare that has left as many as 400,000 people dead and 2.5 million displaced. Hee was overthrown by popular consent in 2019. Omar has been indicted for genocide by the International Criminal Court but nothing is expected to come of it... Sudan was once one of Israel’s fiercest rivals in the Arab world. It hosted the landmark Arab conference after the 1967 Mideast war at which eight Arab countries vowed never to make peace with Israel.
Carpathian region is an area through which smuggled goods travel to Russia and the breakaway republics.
With American money, fuel and property pouring into the region, this will get much worse as rival gangs compete for smuggling routes.

The 2011 OSCE Vienna Document aims to build security and confidence between countries. In accordance with the agreements, the states annually exchange information on military forces and major weapons systems, defense planning and military budgets. The document provides for consultations in connection with "unusual military activities" and dangerous incidents.
UKRAINIAN QUESTION
In recent months , the United States and other NATO countries have accused Moscow of preparing an "invasion" of Ukraine . Thus, the media write that US President Joe Biden told European leaders that Russia would "attack" the neighboring state on February 16.
The Kremlin and the Foreign Ministry reject all claims, emphasizing that Russia does not participate in the intra-Ukrainian conflict and does not violate any agreements, unlike Kiev, which does not comply with the Minsk agreements.
The Ukrainian authorities have concentrated about half of the personnel of the armed forces on the border with the self-proclaimed DPR and LPR , the army regularly fires on the militias, including using prohibited equipment transferred by Western countries.
The United States, Great Britain , Canada , France , Poland , Turkey , Lithuania , Czech Republic , Bulgaria , Romania , Estonia participate in the supply of arms in total for billions of dollars . In addition, foreign military instructors continue to arrive in Ukraine.
Moscow has repeatedly urged to stop pumping weapons into the region, as this could provoke Kiev into military adventures.

Biden and his Bidenettes will crow about how their cool, firm resolve made the Russians back down, even though the Russian MoD announced the readiness drills were complete.
Russia's actions these past two months were to demonstrate how the Russian Army can move units from Russia's interior by rail, offload, then move into action.
And guess what is coming this summer: More snap readiness drills.
This whole Kabuki heater will begin anew this summer.

Again, the Russians and their leader don't give a shit about Ukraine or its bandits. They want to keep Ukraine out of NATO and halt NATO's further encroachment. The diplomatic solution was always obvious.
The only question is, how many millions did Paul and Nancy Pelosi pocket during the last few weeks of market somersaults? Did they buy Gazprom after it fell yesterday?

Wouldn't be surprised. With midterms coming in the fall, Brandon will want to burnish his machismo some more.
But wait a minute. If this is all Kabuki, as it certainly seems to be, the question becomes: Is Putin a witting part of the act? And, if so, why?
I can just imagine how Brandon might have put it to him...
"Hey, Vlad, you want Nordstream 2? You can have it! Here's how..."
OK, I have discarded my tin foil hat. But just like a whole lot of other very curious, very suspicious crap that's been happening in the past few years I have to ask: Would you put it past them?

I have had at least one patient who had a very similar injury. He was a lot older though. Lost his balance at home, fell backwards & slammed his head on the floor. Stayed conscious during & immediately after the fall. Brought to ER for a check. Had obvious signs of a basilar skull fracture on my exam. He was lucid without focal neuro symptoms. CT scan show evidence of multiple skull fractures with multiple areas of various hemorrhages in and around the brain. There was nothing physicians could do to help. He went into coma and was dead within a few hours. I know, this is an "anecdote" and so is a completely and totally worthless bit of evidence. It happens even without a "murderer" to blame.

My personal preference is for knowledgeable anecdote over lurid speculation, Bubba Lover of the Faeries8843. Thank you for yours.
[AlAhram] Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ...hereditary prime minister of the same country that once produced McKenzie King... has decided to invoke emergency powers across all of Canada to quell the protests by demonstrators who have paralyzed Ottawa and blocked border crossings in anger over the country's COVID-19 restrictions, a senior government official said Monday.
The prime minister met virtually with the leaders of Canada's provinces and planned to address the nation late in the afternoon.

It does not seems as if the Emergency Powers applies to this situation. Bottom line, Canada learns that its PM (Troodo the Turd) is a tool and tyrant. I don't think we have seen the end to pushback.

Standard question by which you will be able to identify all non-state media in North America going forward: "Do you feel the measures taken in Canada were overreach and will you commit to not doing similar in the future?"

It is on-its-face disproportionate response, and sullies the actual use of an emergency measure.
And to have Turdo and Witchmore tin can on about the loss of trade is laughable bullshit when everyone knows they both have spent 2 full years destroying trade.
Somewhat related after discussing the disarming of New Zealand and Canada and about four years later:
President Joe Biden kicked off the week by using the fourth anniversary of the deadly school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., to double down on his calls for harsher gun control.
Hmmmmmmm. Wasn't that hog fellow's father FBI or something?

Read a good point; because this is not a real emergency like being invaded, or Nova Scotia sinking, meteor strike, Gamera coming ashore, then this is a social credit score attached to your bank account.

^ it's here. We really need to detach and drop out. Separate from these sick mofos. Create our own institutions: our own companies, internet/digital infrastructure, our own schools and colleges, our own law enforcement.
Create our own currencies and bank transfer mechanisms, and secure our own supplies of food electricity and water.
These assholes are insane. I never imagined that we could actually live through such a dystopian nightmare as this.

Re #14. Start w/ separation of School and State.
No direct government funding of any kind at any level of government for education, Preschool through PhD, except perhaps for those who are wards of the state.

I am curious how these "emergency powers" will keep Canadian grocery stores stocked. Stay tuned.

Did Canada block Hydrochloroquine the way they tried in the US? I mean if they did better i imagine they'd be yelling it to the rooftops and claiming Universal health Care was the difference.
By law, and by law I understand there is no law concerning covid shots and protocols, only declarations, this action must be submitted to and approved by Parliament within 7 days.
IIUC correct, Justin the Techy's approval was in the shitter even before this dictate. IIUC neutrals and even nominal allies are going, "Dude, that isn't what that button is for."
Is it possible here that Justin the Techy, trying to look tough for his wardrobe man, actually set the amount of time the convoy only needs to hold out?

It should be noted that with as deceptive the media has been, it could be that a Blamtifa cell was about to do more than attempted vehicular homicide, something which couldn't be poo-poo'd, busted them, and framed the operation as if it were Trucker Joe pulling an ATF Valentine's Day operation.
[Breitbart] FBI agents teamed up with U.S. Border Patrol agents and Mexican military officials to rescue a U.S. citizen being held by kidnappers in Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas. Nuevo Laredo is the headquarters for Los Zetas Cartel, also known as CDN. The rescue effort led to the recovery of 14 others being held against their will by the cartel.
Historically, there is little hope for Americans who are kidnapped by cartels operating in Mexico. Fortunately, for one American citizen, a coordinated rescue attempt by authorities on both sides of the border ended better than could be expected.
FBI agents teamed with the Border Patrol to provide Mexican military officials with enough information to rescue a woman, a U.S. citizen, from her captors in Nuevo Laredo.
On February 8, 2022, the FBI contacted a specialized office within the Border Patrol’s intelligence division known as the Foreign Operations Branch (FOB) to request their assistance in the kidnapping of the American woman. The FOB specializes in the bi-national exchange of information between military, police, and other government officials in Mexico. The liaisons developed are used mostly to coordinate joint operations along the southwest border.
The Border Patrol’s history of close communications and relationships with authorities along the border can prove to be invaluable to other law enforcement entities as well. In some cases, the FOB’s networks have been used to locate and return fugitives, identify deceased migrants, or reunite separated families.
In this case, the FBI needed assistance in coordinating the rescue and return of a Texas woman that had been kidnapped and held against her will in Nuevo Laredo. Using the Border Patrol as an intermediary with Mexican government officials, the Secretaria de la Defensa Nacional (SEDENA) began a rescue operation. SEDENA manages Mexico’s Army and Air Force.
Mexican army soldiers conducted the search and rescue operation using the information provided by the FOB unit and located the kidnapped woman at a house in short order. The Texas woman was rescued without injury.
Soldiers located 14 other individuals at the house who were also being held against their will by the cartel. The identities of the American woman and others located and rescued were not released.
Disappearances and kidnappings are nothing new in the Nuevo Laredo area. On one stretch of highway that leads from Nuevo Laredo to Monterrey, Mexico, at least 71 people have disappeared without a trace. According to a recent news report, at least six American citizens have disappeared in the area. The disappearances are all believed to be related to cartel criminal activity. Relatives of the victims believe the total is closer to 150.
According to Mexico’s Ministry of the Interior, the border state of Tamaulipas which includes Nuevo Laredo, is one of the Mexican states with the highest total of forced disappearances. Authorities believe the Cartel del Noreste (CDN), a faction of the former Los Zetas cartel, is responsible for the disappearances and kidnappings.
[EpochTimes] One of America’s largest militias has been inactive since its leader’s arrest—and it’s not the Oath Keepers.
The group in question is the Not F****** Around Coalition (NFAC),
...the Not Fucking Around Coalition has been around under that name since 2017. Originally described as a far right Patriot militia made up primarily of US Constitution-respecting military veterans, different only in its Black racial exclusiveness from the III Percenters, Oath Keepers, and Boogaloo Bois. But with exposure it became clear their Black Nationalist/Black Separatist ideology marked them as similar to Black Lives Matter and the New Black Panthers. Protests in Louisville, Kentucky and Stone Mountain were the big excitements until they commandeered the center of Austin in early 2021 as a CHAZ-like independent Black homeland called Orisha Land. There was also a colony in the Colorado mountains, but the romantic city folk who made up the membership never developed the necessary skills, so that, too, ended quickly ...
an all-black militia that captured headlines during the protests in the summer of 2020. With untold hundreds of NFAC members showing up at events sporting military gear and rifles, the organization has claimed credit for pressuring government for justice in cases such as the murder of Ahmaud Arbery.

The flashlight was as good an excuse as any to get the head of one of the bigger BLM-related armed militias out of circulation, like whatsisname back in the day who was done in by the ITS for not paying taxes on his ill-gotten gains.
[DW] Meta has been accused of collecting and storing biometric data to "grow its empire'"without consent of users. The state attorney general said the company "knowingly" violated state law.
In a statement posted on Twitter Monday, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said that the biometric data of millions of Texans had been captured without "properly obtaining their informed consent to do so, in violation of Texas law."
"Facebook will no longer take advantage of people and their children with the intent to turn a profit at the expense of one's safety and well-being," Paxton said. "This is yet another example of Big Tech's deceitful business practices and it must stop. I will continue to fight for Texans' privacy and security."
BIOMETRIC DATA STORED 'WITHOUT CONSENT'
The feature, which automatically tagged people appearing in photos was scrapped at the end of 2021.
However, those who apply themselves too closely to little things often become incapable of great things... Paxton said that Facebook has been storing millions of biometric identifiers contained in photos and videos uploaded onto the social media platform.
Paxton alleged Meta and Facebook exploited personal information of both users and non-users in order to "grow its empire and reap historic windfall profits." This, its alleged was done repeatedly and without consent.
A spokesperson for Meta said: "These claims are without merit and we will defend ourselves vigorously."
In 2020 a similar lawsuit saw the state of Illinois settle with Facebook for an amount of $650 million.
[Dawn] Punjab 1.) Little Orphan Annie's bodyguard
2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers
3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots.... police on Monday arrested six more primary suspects involved in the lynching of a man accused of blasphemy ...the act of insulting or showing contempt or lack of reverence to a deity, or sacred objects, or toward something considered sacred or inviolable. Some religions consider it to be a crime. In Pakistain you can commit blasphemy by looking cross-eyed at a Koran... in Khanewal, a day after Prime Minister Imran Khan ...aka The Great Khan, who ain't the sharpest bulb on the national tree... took notice of the incident and sought a report from the provincial police on action taken against the perpetrators.
With the latest arrests, the number of primary suspects in jug has risen to 21, while a total of 102 have been detained so far and are being interrogated for their suspected involvement in the crime, a spokesperson for Punjab police said in a statement.
In an incident that brings back the memories of Sri Lankan national Priyantha Kumara's lynching in December, the middle-aged man was stoned to death by a mob over alleged desecration of the Holy Koran in Khanewal district's Tulamba on Saturday.
The victim reportedly claimed innocence but the villagers first tied him up to a tree and then hit him with bricks until he died.
The six primary suspects arrested on Monday "could be seen [in a video] provoking the mob as well as torturing the victim with bricks and sticks", the police spokesperson said.
He said the prime suspects had been charged with sections of terrorism and heinous crimes in the first information report (FIR).
"The identification and arrest of more suspects are underway with the help of available footage and evidence," the spokesperson added.
Police teams conducted raids throughout the previous night while a secret operation was also underway, according to the statement.
DARAA, Syria (North Press) – A person was killed on Monday evening in the western countryside of Daraa, after being shot by unknown assailants.
“The young man, Ahmed Abdurlaouf al-Rashdan, was directly shot and killed,” local sources told North Press.
“The killing was carried out by unidentified gunmen riding a motorcycle on the road between the city of Tafas and the town of Muzayrib in the western countryside of Daraa,” the sources added.
“Al-Rashdan came from the town of Naf’a in al- Yarmouk Basin area in the western countryside of Daraa and lived in the town of Muzayrib after the second settlement process, which ended in the fall of last year,” the sources said.
The killing of al-Rashdan is the sixth one in the city of Tafas and its environs in five days where seven people were killed, including Mus’ab al-Bardan, a member of the Central Committee in the Western Region.
Despite the entire control of the Syrian government on Daraa and the reconciliation it made with residents, the governorate witnesses unrest and security chaos where killings have sharply increased.
[DW] Hundreds of protesters in cars, vans and trucks have headed to the Belgian capital to demand an end to COVID-19 restrictions, despite a ban preventing them from entering the city.
A group of "freedom convoy" protesters reached Brussels Monday, with police in the Belgian capital partially blocking the main access routes into the city and redirecting vehicles to a car park on the outskirts.
Brussels mayor Philippe Close told local RTBF radio that a total of 400-500 cars and vans had been spotted en route to Brussels. Most of the vehicles came from La Belle France, where a similar protest took place over the weekend.
"It is a matter of not allowing the Belgian capital to be taken hostage," Close said.
He said protesters might be allowed to enter Brussels on foot, although authorities have banned vehicles in the Canada-style protest convoy from entering the city.
PROTESTERS MAKE IT INTO BRUSSELS DESPITE COUNTER MEASURES Rooters news agency reported seeing around 150 to 200 protesters in the city center.
A French protester called Philippe, who traveled from the weekend's protest in Gay Paree, told members of the media that he was protesting for his children.
"I came particularly for our children's future. I don't see how my children can live in the world as it is now. Freedom is swept aside, there's more and more poverty. Even when you work,when the 15th of the month comes round, you haven't got enough to live on," Philippe said.
A similar ban did not prevent protesters from converging on Gay Paree in neighboring La Belle France over the weekend.
They blocked roads and caused traffic jams around the Arc de Triomphe in the city's center.
The "Freedom Convoy" protests began in Canada, with Canadian truckers opposing a vaccine mandate for cross-border transport. However, a person who gets all wrapped up in himself makes a mighty small package... the movement has sparked similar protests in Europe.
Shafaq News/ On Monday, a joint force in Saladin Governorate carried out security operations in Makhoul Mountains, northern Iraq, where ISIS members are located.
A source told Shafaq News Agency that forces from Police and Emergency Regiments launched large-scale security operations in the Makhoul Mountains, near Al-Mashak Village, north of Baiji District, to find ISIS hideouts and militants.
"The Iraqi forces destroyed an ISIS hideout and a tunnel."
According to our source, the operations continue to pursue the terrorists.
In 2017, Iraq declared final victory over ISIS after Iraqi forces drove its last remnants from the country, three years after the militant group captured about a third of Iraq's territory.
Yet, ISIS still has sleeper cells in several Iraqi Governorates.
