As planned, a ship rests in state on the sand,
And the bits of its bints
In their various tints
In some manly Mohammedan's hand.

[NationalPulse] The Lincoln Project—an anti-Trump PAC—is again reporting stunning overhead costs compared to actual election spending. U.S. federal election records show the group, accused of being a scam PAC, has spent $11.7 million on overhead and just $437,000 on actual election spending since January 1, 2023.High overhead spending with little actual money flowing into election activities isn’t an aberration for The Lincoln Project. The National Pulse reported the group engaged in a similar spending pattern—pouring donor money into vendors, media buyers, and consulting firms connected to the PAC’s founders—during the 2020 election. A total of around $10 million was funneled through vendors back into the pockets of The Lincoln Project‘s founders during the last presidential election cycle.
Founded in 2019 by a group of ‘Republican’ consultants who had been frozen out of work in the party because of their opposition to then-President Donald J. Trump, The Lincoln Project has consistently spent unusually high amounts of donor dollars on overhead costs compared to actual electioneering. Even more troubling, The Lincoln Project was embroiled in controversy in early 2021 after it was revealed that one of its co-founders, John Weaver, was shown to have sent inappropriate messages to young men and boys in an attempt to sexually groom them.The National Pulse reported this past April that The Lincoln Project paid out $35,000 to hackers who had posed as vendors for the PAC and sent fraudulent invoices.In addition, the group poured $42,000 into the far-left, anti-Trump MeidasTouch organization. MeidasTouch, a former Democrat PAC, now serves as a Democrat media platform. It hosts the likes of serial perjurer Michael Cohen and pushed the infamous “bloodbath” hoax against former President Trump.
[Bloomberg] A bid to break up Alphabet Inc.’s Google is one of the options being considered by the Justice Department after a landmark court ruling found that the company monopolized the online search market, according to people with knowledge of the deliberations.
The move would be Washington’s first push to dismantle a company for illegal monopolization since unsuccessful efforts to break up Microsoft Corp. two decades ago. Less severe options include forcing Google to share more data with competitors and measures to prevent it from gaining an unfair advantage in AI products, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing private discussions.
[Bee] Kamala Harris's team released a powerful new slogan this week that encapsulates the candidate's bold vision for her campaign platform: "We Decline Your Request For An Interview."
"We believe this new campaign slogan sums up perfectly what the Harris-Walz ticket is all about," Harris staffer Mindy Young told reporters. "She is so brave, so bold, so trendy and hip, and totally not at all afraid of the media, but she's just really busy with stuff and can't do interviews right now. I expect young women everywhere to gravitate towards this new messaging; I wouldn't be surprised to see it on t-shirts soon."
The Harris campaign released the slogan after weeks of Kamala bravely hiding behind desks, water fountains, trees, phone booths, large bushes, small children, horses, microphones, and teleprompters to avoid talking directly to members of the media. They believe "We Decline Your Request For An Interview" sums up her courageous, fearless leadership style.
"I will give an interview when I'm good and ready," Kamala Harris told her staff to tell the press. "Now someone refill my wine glass before I literally murder someone."
At publishing time, Kamala had confirmed her first media interview since becoming a candidate. The CNN exclusive is scheduled for August 2032.

[Blaze] Questions surrounding the Butler, Pennsylvania, assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump have remained unanswered — but FBI whistleblower and former agent Steve Friend has some theories.
"I’m not hearing anything satisfying coming from the FBI or the Secret Service on the assassination attempt," Glenn Beck tells Friend, who has an idea of why that is.
"I think one of the most disturbing elements that hasn’t been picked up on was when the deputy director of the FBI, Paul Abbate, said that they were going to investigate it as domestic terrorism," Friend explains.
While that may seem reasonable to the average American citizen, Friend is well aware of what that means.
"The FBI is now going to slap a classified label on this investigation, and they’re not going to be able to be transparent because you don’t have a need to know," he tells Glenn, before noting how troubling the new claim of the Pakistani national’s plans to take Trump out is.
"This is what I like to call the ’playbook’ that the FBI has been running the last two-and-a-half decades, particularly since 9/11," he explains, adding, "What they do to justify their existence as a bureaucracy, as a self-licking ice cream cone, they will identify a vulnerable person, emotionally disturbed, maybe someone with radical intentions but not capable of carrying forward an actual attack without the involvement of the FBI."
The FBI will then use confidential human sources and undercover agents to groom these vulnerable individuals for as long as it takes before they’ll engage in an activity that can be labeled as terrorism.
"The added wrinkle here was that they imported this Pakistani through the border, they sponsored him arriving. The FBI Dallas office actually was the signee on him arriving," Friend tells Glenn, adding, "They followed him and orchestrated this plot that could never have happened without the involvement of the government."
"We are now running terrorists so that we can justify our existence as an agency," Friend says, disturbed. Friend also explains that according to the FBI, the Pakistani national just happened to speak to an informant about soliciting a hit man as soon as he arrived in the United States.
"The bottom line is that the FBI is inventing these cases, so that they can go to Congress and say ’Look at all the good work we have done here, why don’t you give us enhanced funding, why don’t you give us enhanced tools,'" Friend says.

BLUF:
[ALT Market] The common claim within the Liberty Movement is that this is all part of the "Cloward-Piven Strategy": A social engineering method which uses large scale relocation of migrants into a society in order to destabilize that nation. The goal is to import people with a incompatible or hostile ideology and, eventually, the target culture will break down and be forced to accept a new system of governance (i.e. from free markets and liberty to communism and slavery).
If western populations are unified in opposing the globalist ideology then the task of deconstruction becomes impossible for them. So, they simply destroy the west from within by introducing millions of people that will NEVER assimilate or unify.
My theory goes beyond the Cloward-Piven explanation, though. I think there is a deeper and even more sinister purpose to the introduction of third world migrants to the US and Europe. I summarized my position in my article ’Cultural Replacement: Why The Immigration Crisis Is Being Deliberately Engineered’ published in January. I noted:

We have the foreign element that refuses to assimilate, then we have the domestic element that has been groomed to also not assimilate. Something's gotta give.

[Red State] Normally you wouldn’t expect the New York Times to pursue a story that contains negative information about top-echelon Democrats, but lo and behold, on Tuesday evening the outlet dropped an article revealing that First Son Hunter Biden requested help from the U.S. Embassy in Rome to secure a lucrative deal for the Ukrainian gas giant, Burisma, whose board he famously sat on. Here's the kicker: this was in 2016 while Joe Biden was vice president.
According to the story, the president was unaware of his son’s efforts. One wonders if Joe knew that Hunter kept himself busy, shall we say, but told him not to share details so he’d have plausible deniability.
The records were released as a result of a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request by the Times. I keep thinking to myself, wait, is this really the New York Times investigating things like this?

No, you know exactly what it is. NYT is/was a cut-out for an info-gatherinng and purging effort. A cover for action to establish a base-line for future FOIA efforts and releases.
[YouTube] Simply by tracking the Trump shooter's Cell Phone IMEI location data, and the associated Cell phones seen at his home, meeting with him weeks before. It has been discovered at least 1 phone made numerous calls to a location that houses FBI offices in Washington, DC.
The video also raises the question of why _ _ _ DC Swamp Agencies are not forth coming, and only begrudgingly confirm data collected by private investigators, using public sources of information.
Personal Note: With all of this said. I still believe a majority of the _ _ _ Agents are following their oath of office. What we are likely dealing with, is a small subversive political cell that needs to be weeded out and flushed.

I suppose it would be crazy talk to suggest there is a standing inventory of these foks all unwittingly (or wittingly) recruited and ready to go forth and create mayhem.
According to a Report from Iran International, the Iranian Government for the First Time in the 20-Year Existence of its Nuclear Program, has begun Active Secret Development and Testing on an Explosive Device for the Warhead of a Nuclear Weapon.

Massive cyber-attack on Iran's major banks A massive cyber attack has hit major banks in Iran, including the Central Bank of Iran, London-based Iranian opposition-affiliated Iran International reported on Wednesday
The attack significantly disrupted the financial activities in the country and it is still unclear if the Iranians have managed to overcome it. It caused most ATMs to stop working, not only in Tehran but in various other cities as well.
According to the report, this is one of the largest cyber attacks against Iranian infrastructure ever.
According to foreign reports, Israel has carried out cyber attacks against Iranian infrastructure in the past, including train stations and gas stations.

To develop your own nuke, as opposed to buying one from Pakistain, you need to test it. Underground testing is hidden from prying eyes, but is going to register on someone's seismograph. IIRC, when Kursk (the submarine, not the battle) sank and hit the sea floor, it tickled seismographs in the nearby Scandinavia.
Given that Iran has been weeks/months/years away from having the bomb for gawd knows how long, seismic data might be the first indication that the game is finally on. That might be the ideal time for some preemptive 'pruning'.
Assuming the IDF does not simply drive up in a U-Haul and steal it.
Dutch political commentator Eva Vlaardingerbroek (@EvaVlaar) exposes the WEF's plan to impose a personal carbon allowance, connected to digital ID, using the "climate crisis" as a pretext.
[YNet] Nearly 20 years ago, a conversation took place between Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and Israeli Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz that outlined a plan for deploying 750 Egyptian police officers along the Philadelphi Corridor within months to prevent arms smuggling.
The plan also included coordination between Egyptian and Israeli battalion and brigade commanders to thwart smuggling activities. However, this discussion did not occur recently or during the current war in Gaza but rather in March 2005, as part of the preparations for Israel's disengagement plan, which was implemented later that summer.
...An Israeli military source told The Washington Post in June that an estimated 20 tunnels in the area remain undetected. The source emphasized that before any IDF operation, contact is made with Egypt to coordinate activities. Just a few days ago, the IDF released footage of a 10-foot-high tunnel capable of accommodating large vehicles, which was discovered last week along the route.
Despite this, Egyptian officials continue to deny the existence of such tunnels. An Egyptian source recently denied "Israeli media reports about tunnels between Egypt and Gaza," describing them as "an Israeli attempt to escape the failure in Gaza." The source added, "Israel's failure to make progress in Gaza leads it to publish claims about the existence of tunnels to justify the continued attacks in the Strip."
The things people tend to forget is our system of morality is based on judging actions as right and wrong. Arabs' is based on relatedness: any conflict between brother & cousin, the brother is right. Any conflict between Muslim and non-Muslim - the Muslim is right. Any promises given are taquia.

[FoxNews] A gang of teens on bicycles were filmed violently assaulting a man in traffic earlier this month.
The attack occurred when the victim, Shailoobek Bazarbai Uulu, was in his car stopped at a red light in downtown Los Angeles. Beside him were a group of roughly 30 teens on bikes.
When the light turned green he attempted to pass the group and one of the teens threw a water bottle into his vehicle. He then pulled over and exited his vehicle and was immediately surrounded by the teens. The confrontation quickly turned violent, with some of the kids assaulting Uulu and others destroying his vehicle.
Teens could be seen breaking windows and jumping on the hood of Uulu's car, as well as rifling through the interior. They stole his wallet, cash, and personal documents and broke his leg. He also suffered multiple lacerations across his body.
"I never thought that teens can be so cruel, and I didn’t expect that from them," Uulu told The Los Angeles Times. "That’s why I got out from the car. I didn’t know like that it’s very dangerous to get out from the car."
Uulu was born in Kyrgystan and lived in Russia for most of his life. He fled to the U.S. and sought asylum roughly a year ago, the Times reported. Uulu says many documents he needs for the asylum process were stolen in the attack.
Footage shows wary bystanders watching the carnage, some of them filming. Several people can be seen attempting to step in and they eventually helped carry Uulu to safety as he asked for people to call the police.
News of the incident comes just days after Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass officially accepted the Olympic torch from Paris. LA will play host to the 2028 summer Olympic games, despite widespread crime and homelessness.

[Dhaka Tribune] The general holiday on August 15, observed as National Mourning Day, would be cancelled, according to sources within the Ministry of Public Administration.
Officials from the ministry on Tuesday confirmed that a notification regarding the cancellation has been prepared.
The notification is expected to be issued as soon as instructions from bigwigs are received, potentially as early as Tuesday.
If not issued by then, it is expected to be released the following day.
Earlier on Tuesday, Home Affairs Advisor to the interim government Brigadier General (retd) M Sakhawat Hossain said: "We will discuss the August 15 holiday this afternoon, and a decision will be made accordingly."
He further said: "A significant number of police will be deployed on August 15 to maintain order. We will ensure that no one causes any disruption. Security measures will be comprehensive, with the police, BGB, RAB, and possibly the army, all present."
[Dhaka Tribune] The month of mourning begins on Thursday commemorating the liquidation of the Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and most of his family members on August 15, 1975.
The August 15 carnage is the ugliest chapter of the nation's history as the self-confessed killers not only assassinated the nation's founding father but also killed 16 other members of his family, friends and relatives.
The nation observes with a heavy heart the month of August as the month of mourning to recall the barbaric killing on 1975's 15 August.
The August 15 carnage deaders included Bangabandhu's wife Bangamata Sheikh Fazilatunnesa Mujib, his sons Sheikh Kamal, Sheikh Jamal and Sheikh Russell, daughters-in-law Sultana Kamal and Rosy Jamal, Bangabandhu's brother Sheikh Naser, brother-in-law Abdur Rab Serniabat, nephew and youth leader Sheikh Fazlul Huq Moni, Moni's pregnant wife Arzoo Moni and Bangabandhu's military secretary Colonel Jamil.
Bangabandhu's two daughters - incumbent Prime Minister the loathesome Sheikh Hasina
...Bangla dynastic politician and now exiled former Prime Minister of Bangladesh. She was President of the Bangla Awami League since the Lower Paleolithic. She is the eldest of five children of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the founding father of Bangla. Her party defeated the BNP-led Four-Party Alliance in the 2008 parliamentary elections. She once before held the office, from 1996 to 2001, when she was defeated in a landslide. She and the head of the BNP, Khaleda Zia showed such blind animosity toward each other that they are known as the Battling Begums. That is probably because Khaleda's late husband was the Pak tool who had Mujib assassinated...
and Sheikh Rehana - escaped the planned liquidation as they were visiting Germany at that time.
With the killing of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman a pall of gloom descended and a sense of deep sadness spread among the people in the country and across the globe.

Hindus in Bangladesh are enduring ethnic cleansing and genocide at the hands of Muslim Brotherhood-backed mobs. Where’s the UN? Why is the ICC silent? Has the Security Council even noticed? Why is the world fixated on Gaza while Hindu women are raped and temples are destroyed?…
[JPost] While approving weapons to Israel, Washington has also tried to arrange a ceasefire deal in Gaza that would potentially stave off a wider Middle East war.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Tuesday approved the possible sale to Israel of fighter jets and other military equipment worth over $20 billion, the Pentagon said.
In a statement, the Pentagon said Blinken approved the possible sale of F-15 jets and equipment worth nearly $19 billion. He also approved the possible sale of tank cartridges worth around $774 million and army vehicles worth $583 million, the Pentagon said.
The tank rounds would be almost immediately available for delivery. The Boeing Co F-15 fighter jets would take years to produce and deliver.
The US has staunchly supported Israel as its top Middle East ally prosecutes a war in the Gaza Strip that has devastated the Palestinian enclave. The war was set off by Hamas' Oct. 7 terror attack in southern Israel.
A ceasefire deal
While approving weapons to Israel, Washington has also tried to arrange a ceasefire deal in Gaza that would potentially stave off a wider Middle East war.
Fears of a broader war have increased since the recent killings of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Iran and Hezbollah military commander Fuad Shukr in Beirut. Both drew threats of retaliation against Israel.

[FoxNews] University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill may see more anti-Israel protests in new school year
Anti-Israel agitators at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill are vowing resistance "by any means necessary" as the 2024-2025 school year officially begins on Aug. 18.
An unofficial anti-Israel student group called UNC Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), representing Chapel Hill, posted a commitment to "resist by any means necessary" and said it condones "all forms of principled action" in a July 31 Instagram post.
The group, which has received funding from Hamas-linked groups, according to research from the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy, is responding to the arrest of some 40 agitators on campus in May, when they set up an encampment on the school's quad to protest the Israel-Gaza war.
"We will not be silenced. We will not be intimidated," SJP wrote in an Instagram post on their account with more than 14,000 followers. "A group of the defendants has released these points of unity to express their commitment to collective defense, fighting as a unified bloc for ALL their charges to be dropped while not losing sight of the ultimate goal of Palestinian liberation."
Irina Tsukerman, fellow at the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs and the Arabian Peninsula Institute and also president of Scarab Rising, Inc., a security and geopolitical risk strategic advisory firm, told Fox News Digital that SJP is a national organization with local chapters, and while some of the group's followers may be on college campuses, they also have supporters who are not college students and some who are not even U.S. citizens.
"They do an outstanding job of portraying themselves as voices for Palestinians, whereas they are actually voices for Hamas," Tsukerman said. "I think many people follow without really knowing them or their agenda. … Also, the people who follow SJP get sucked into believing it's an actual human-rights effort … it's people who are born activists, and not all of these people are even U.S. citizens."

[Breitbart] Mexican federal prosecutors announced that they had begun a treason investigation against various individuals who played a role in the controversial U.S. arrest of top Sinaloa Cartel Boss Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada. According to the cartel boss, the arrest came after individuals with the Chapitos faction of the cartel kidnapped him and turned him over to U.S. authorities at an airport near El Paso.
In a prepared statement, Mexico’s Attorney General’s Office announced an investigation into the charges related to treason against the nation, illegal flights, illegal use of flight facilities, kidnapping, and immigration violations.
The investigation comes after several differing versions emerged following the surprise arrest. As Breitbart Texas initially reported, on July 25, a plane landed in a private airport in New Mexico with Zambada and Joaquin Guzman Lopez, the son of El Mayo’s longtime associate El Chapo. The arrest caused much discontent in Mexico, where Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said the following day that his government had not played any role in the incident. The president demanded a full investigation to learn if the U.S. government had violated his country’s illusory sovereignty during the arrest.
A bombshell report by Mexican journalist Juan Cedillo and British journalist Ioan Grillo revealed that Guzman Lopez and others had lured Zambada to a meeting, killed his bodyguards, kidnapped him, and taken him to the U.S. by force as part of an agreement with prosecutors, Breitbart Texas reported. The report also named a Mexican politician who had played a role in brokering the meeting and who has since been murdered.

[GEO.TV] Four soldiers were martyred while six bad boyz were potted during an exchange of fire between the miscreants and the security forces in South Wazoo, a statement issued by the military's media affairs wing said late Tuesday night.
According to the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR): "On night 12/ 13 August 2024, fire exchange took place between the security forces and Khwarij in South Waziristan District."
"Resultantly, six Khwarij were sent to hell due to effective engagement by own troops."
However,
it's easy to be generous with someone else's money... during the intense fire exchange, four soldiers — Havildar Nisar Hussain, 34, resident of District Kurram; Naik Rashid Gul, 34, resident of District Kurram; Naik Irfan Ullah Khan, 30, resident of District Lakki Marwat and Sepoy Usman Rafaqat, 21, resident of District Haripur — having fought gallantly embraced Shahadat.
The ISPR said that a sanitisation operation is being conducted to eliminate any other "Kharji" found in the area as the security forces are determined to wipe out the menace of terrorism.
"Such sacrifices of our brave soldiers further strengthen our resolve," the military’s media wing added.
Following the Taliban ...Arabic for students... 's rise to power in Afghanistan in 2021, Pakistain has experienced a tidal wave of terrorist attacks on security forces, particularly in provinces bordering the neighbouring country, with turbans employing advanced weaponry and equipment.
According to the Centre for Research and Security Studies (CRSS), Annual Security report, during the second quarter of the current year, Pakistain witnessed 380 violence-linked fatalities and 220 injuries among civilians, security personnel, and outlaws.

[GEO.TV] UK police have arrested over 1,000 people in connection with riots that took place over the last two weeks in England, officials said on Tuesday.
"Forces across the country have now made more than 1,000 arrests in connection with the recent violent mostly peaceful disorder," the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) said on X.
At least 575 people have been charged, as courts continue to deal with those involved in the disorder, which occurred across dozens of towns and cities in England and Northern Ireland following the death of three girls in a stabbing on July 29.
Far-right riots took place after misinformation spread about the identity of the alleged perpetrator of the knife attack, with multiple people being nabbed Drop the gat, Rocky, or you're a dead 'un! for spreading hate online in recent days.
The United Kingdom’s judiciary is swiftly moving through court cases and handing down lengthy sentences after the disorder calmed down ahead of the weekend, and the government vowed to crack down on those involved.
Among those appearing in court on Tuesday was a 13-year-old girl who admitted to threatening unlawful violence outside an asylum seeker accommodation in Aldershot in the south.
One man, John Honey, pleaded guilty to helping attack a car with three Romanian men in it and assaulting police during riots in Hull, northeast England.
Honey also admitted to three charges of burglary after participating in the looting of several stores.

None arrested during 9 months of pro-Hamas protests.
FYI:. Big fight between US citizens and London Metropolitan Police. A migrant in London stabbed to death 3 little girls and wounded numerous others at a Taylor Swift party. Mass protests resulted in 1000 British citizens being arrested. US citizens posted support for the protesters resulting in London Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley threatening to have American Citizens extradited and prosecuted for supporting the protesters through social media. Thousands of US citizens responded to the London Metropolitan Police Commissioner daring him to extradite them.

[GEO.TV] A Muslim advocacy group filed a lawsuit on Monday against the FBI and leaders of other US government agencies over what it called the discriminatory and racist placement of two Palestinian Americans on a watch list.
The lawsuit is related to the placement of one Palestinian American — Mustafa Zeidan — on the US government "no-fly list" and the seizure of an electronic device of another Palestinian American — Osama Abu Irshaid — while federal agents interrogated him about his organising against Israel's war in Gaza, the Council on American-Islamic Relations said.
Irshaid, who is the executive director of an organisation called American Muslims for Palestine, travelled to Qatar from the US in late May and returned in early June, according to the lawsuit, which alleged that he was forced to undergo extra screening and questioning while having his phone seized. The phone has not been returned, it added.
"CAIR is challenging the mistreatment of these Palestinian American activists on constitutional grounds," the group said.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Former Colorado clerk Tina Peters, the first local election official to be charged with a security breach after the 2020 election as unfounded conspiracy theories swirled, was found guilty by a jury on most charges Monday.
Peters, a one-time hero to election deniers, was accused of using someone else's security badge to give an expert affiliated with My Pillow chief executive Mike Lindell access to the Mesa County election system and deceiving other officials about that person's identity.
Lindell is a prominent promoter of false claims that voting machines were manipulated to steal the election from Donald Trump
...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons... His online broadcasting site has been showing a livestream of Peters' trial and sending out daily email updates, sometimes asking for prayers for Peters and including statements from her.
Prosecutors said Peters was seeking fame and became 'fixated' on voting problems after becoming involved with those who had questioned the accuracy of the 2020 presidential election results.

"This individual was specifically assigned to see that paper was allocated properly see that paper was allocated properly.... The result is he didn't do his job for Harris County."
According to the indictment, Blackburn had a secret 2nd full-time job, and because of that, he couldn't properly fulfill his duty with Harris County. I don't really buy that garbage because the ballot paper shortage was deliberate to prevent Republicans from winning but it's at least good to see accountability every once in a while
His LinkedIn account was wiped from existence moments ago.
Given the masses amount of voter fraud uncovered, it is understandable, why MORE & MORE challenge any claims that it was a valid, honest, accurately counted election, and NOT a Coup by the Left.

She was President of the Bangla Awami League since the Lower Paleolithic. She is the eldest of five children of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the founding father of Bangla. Her party defeated the BNP-led Four-Party Alliance in the 2008 parliamentary elections. She once before held the office, from 1996 to 2001, when she was defeated in a landslide. She and the head of the BNP, Khaleda Zia showed such blind animosity toward each other that they are known as the Battling Begums. That is probably because Khaleda's late husband was the Pak tool who had Mujib assassinated... last week.
Hasina resigned and fled the country last Monday after a month of deadly protests. She was on good terms with India during her 15 years in office, which led some of her detractors to denounce her as a puppet of the Indian government. Mobs in majority-Moslem Bangladesh began attacking Hindus and vandalizing their property after Hasina’s ouster.
According to police in Ghaziabad, located in India’s Uttar Pradesh state, a group of about 20 people belonging to a Hindu nationalist group called Hindu Raksha Dal attacked a cluster of shanties near a railroad station on Friday night and destroyed many of their ramshackle dwellings, known as jhuggis in India. The attackers loudly accused their victims of being Bangladeshi infiltrators during the assault.
Hindu Raksha Dal and its leader, Bhupendra "Pinky" Chowdhary, were accused of several similar assaults over the previous few days. Sometimes they drove off people they accused of being illegal migrants colonists from Bangladesh, and on other occasions, they destroyed, or even burned, the shanties in which their targets dwelled. "Pinky"?
Ghaziabad Police Commissioner Ajay Kumar Mishra said the people attacked in his town were not immigrants colonists from Bangladesh, but rather natives of Uttar Pradesh.
"I tried to explain to them that these people are not from Bangladesh, but they continued beating them and damaging their shelters," police inspector Sanjiv Kumar said of his encounter with Pinky and his crew on Friday night.

So what they are saying is a veteran politician who was selected to be a vice-president, and who has made a vice-president pick on her own, has no policies?
[GEO.TV] US President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. Former Senator-for-Life from Delaware, an example of the kind of top-notch Washington intellect to be found in the World's Greatest Deliberative Body.... ’s administration on Tuesday approved more than $20 billion in new weapons sales to Israel, brushing aside pressure from rights activists to stop arms deliveries over the corpse count 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 an 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... lThe sale comes as Biden has pressed Israel and Hamas ..not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,... to reach a ceasefire after 10 months of bloodshed, although the weapons would take years to reach Israel.
In a notification to Congress, the State Department said it had approved a sale of 50 F-15 fighter jets to Israel for $18.82 billion.
Israel will also buy nearly 33,000 tank cartridges, up to 50,000 explosive mortar cartridges and new military cargo vehicles.
The F-15 aircraft, which will begin to be delivered in 2029, will upgrade Israel's current fleet and include radar and secure communications equipment.
"The United States is committed to the security of Israel, and it is vital to US national interests to assist Israel to develop and maintain a strong and ready self-defense capability," the State Department said in its notice on the F-15s, which are made by Boeing.

[Breitbart] City officials in Aurora, Colorado, are closing down a large apartment building today amid rival claims about landlord abuse and a hostile takeover by Venezuala’s Tren de Aragua migrant street gang.
“Tren de Aragua taking over properties and communities in Aurora means that we are not able to be present on this property, or any of our other properties in similar situations, also being impacted by [migrant] gang presence,” said a statement to Breitbart News by an “investor for multiple affected properties in Aurora.” The statement was provided by a spokesman for the Florida-based landlord, CBZ Management.
The owners are “out-of-town slum lords,” Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman responded via 9News.com on August 8:
Continued on Page 49
"July 11, 2024
Washington — Today, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctioned Tren de Aragua, a Venezuela-based transnational criminal organization that is expanding throughout the Western Hemisphere and engaging in diverse criminal activities, such as human smuggling and trafficking, gender-based violence, money laundering, and illicit drug trafficking."
[Outkick] MSNBC is the self-appointed police force for racist comments in American society. Not a day goes by when at least one of the pundits at the network does not label someone a "racist" — even if they are not actually a racist.
Yet, last week, one of MSNBC's own went on another overtly racist rant against white people. Primetime host Joy Reid thanked Kamala Harris who got her start in politix between former Oakland mayor Willie Brown's' knees for not picking Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly as her running mate because, unlike Tim Walz ...Kamala's running mate, governor of Minnesota. One man's socialism is another man's neighborliness.... , Kelly is "super white."
Err, not just "super white.
According to Reid, Sen. Kelly is "like a mayonnaise sandwich on Wonder bread white."
OutKick asked MSNBC for comment. The network did not respond. MSNBC does not respond to inquiries regarding Reid's bigotry. We've tried before.
Translation: a network that proclaims zero tolerance for racism, refuses to condemn one of its leading hosts for spewing racism for profit.
It's not just MSNBC that's silent.
Where are media critics Brian Stelter and Oliver Darcy? The two of them have long stalked conservative pundits to take their comments out of context, to frame them as racists. Somehow, Stelter and Darcy have nothing to say about Reid's racist rant.
Nor does Media Matter for America, a George Soros ...either Ernst Stavro Blofeld or Auric Goldfinger come true... -funded media organization of radical smear merchants.
Where is fellow race lady Jemele Hill, who is always on the prowl to call someone racist?
Hill defended MSNBC last month, claiming the network is neither radical nor left-wing. Since, her galpal Reid accused Trump of faking his liquidation attempt, likened GOP voters to Nazis, and called white people "mayonnaise."
For those who don't speak anti-white, "mayonnaise" is a derogatory term the anti-white brigade uses to refer to white people they do not like %u2013 like our pal Bishop Talbert Swan.
Swan has been known to call the white folks phrases like "mayonnaise dripping demons," "mayo crackers," "mayonnaise deficient monsters", "the mayo posse," and "demonic forces of mayo evil."
What is the black equivalent of "mayonnaise"? We aren't sure.
No white person in public would dare refer to another race using a creamy sauce. However,
corruption finds a dozen alibis for its evil deeds... due to racial double standards, black Americans are allowed to do just that.
And the so-called "anti-racists" in the media have no comment.

[GEO.TV] The UK’s maritime security agency has issued an incident alert following an explosion near a vessel travelling 63 nautical miles (about 116km) southwest of Yemen’s port city of Hodeidah.
According to the UK Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) alert, the crew and vessel, which was not named, are reported to be safe and are continuing on to their next port of call.
The Houthis missed again, it appears. To be fair, they do miss a lot, but shooting off makes them feel so happy.

[RealClearDefense] Preserving Peace Through Naval Power
The United States Navy’s purpose is to deter war by being ready to fight and win. Deterrence requires that the Navy be highly visible throughout the world’s oceans and seas.
Building and maintaining a world-spanning navy ready to fight and win against any adversary is expensive. War starting because adversaries believe the U.S. Navy is not capable of winning would be much more expensive in blood and money.
Continued on Page 49
[Breitbart] The FBI on Friday arrested Turkish American electrical contractor Gokhan Gun on charges of illegally obtaining and keeping national security documents.
Gun reportedly had dozens of classified documents in his possession and was preparing for a trip to Mexico when he was taken into custody.
The complaint unsealed in Virginia federal court described Gun as an electrical engineer born in Turkey. He arrived in the United States on a work visa in 2001, became a lawful permanent resident in 2012, and became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 2021.
According to his trade association biography, Gun earned a bachelor’s degree in engineering from George Mason University, a master’s degree in engineering from George Washington University, and a doctorate in computer science from Southern Methodist University. He began working as a contractor for the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) last September.
Gun’s DoD position came with a security clearance and he reportedly had permission to take some of his work materials home. Prosecutors said he began printing documents in bulk and taking them home in May, with little apparent justification for the practice.
The FBI said he printed about 3,400 pages of material during his 11 months on the job, mostly late in the afternoon as he was preparing to head home for the day. Eyewitnesses saw him leaving his office with paperwork rolled up and stuffed into a “partially translucent shopping bag.”
Gun’s vigorous printing schedule included 406 pages of documents during the last week before he was arrested, with 82 top secret markings on them. DoD said his clearance level did not give him permission to take top secret documents home.
Gun was arrested at his Falls Church, Virginia, home – one of four properties he owns, with another in Virginia plus properties in Florida and Texas – as he was preparing to depart for what he described as a fishing vacation in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, with some friends. The FBI took him into custody shortly before a ride-hailing service was due to pick him up for first leg of his trip to Mexico.
When FBI agents searched Gun’s home, they found stacks of papers in his dining room, including several documents labeled top secret. Gun told agents that some of the paperwork he took home might have carried “expired” classifications, but at least one of them was printed on Wednesday with what appeared to be current classification markings.
Gun is due to appear in court on charges of illegally obtaining and retaining national defense secrets on August 13. The FBI argued he was a flight risk, given that he was arrested while attempting to leave the country, while his defense lawyers said the trip was an innocent planned vacation with friends.

Only 2 of the 3400 documents were still actively classified. Did the FBI check Hillary Clinton's server before she wiped it? Yes. They also found classified documents on her personal devices and Comey still refused to charge her.
By the way, Puerto Vallarta has great fishing charters.
Mark your calendar, ladies and gentlemen, Kamala Harris has done something extraordinary. She has become the only candidate in half a century to become the presidential nominee without winning a single primary vote. Biden’s vice got enough delegate votes in the virtual roll call process to become the official Democratic nominee. Interesting how not winning votes has had an uncanny way of getting this severely unqualified woman one cackle closer to the Oval Office.
But the shock and awe does not stop there, so be advised to have a seat. The absolutely, positively 100% legitimate corporate media monstrosity with blood-soaked hand to its heart reports: Harris is now more popular than Joe Biden or Donald Trump have been at any point in the 2024 election cycle.
Yes, a Morning Consult poll of 11,538 registered voters between July 26 and 28 found 50 percent have a favorable opinion of the sitting vice president, while 46 percent have an unfavorable opinion. According to the pollster, "Harris’s 4-point net favorability is a higher rating than Biden or Trump have posted all cycle."
Is anyone really buying any of this, aside from those people who would rather see Donald Duck, for example, as commander-in-chief than Donald J. Trump?
...And this is where Trump has all the reason in the world to distrust the merchants of media — even if they happen to be the notorious backstabbers at Fox News — as it plays ’neutral’ arbitrator in the upcoming debates. As proof, as if proof were needed, here is something that Harris and not some AI-generated body double uttered just a few days ago during a rally:
"Donald Trump does not care about border security; he only cares about himself," the invisible border czar told a crowd of worshipful supporters. "And when I am president, I will actually work to solve the problem."
The fact that Kamala Harris is able to utter such inanities without any pushback or laugh track shows that the media is seriously gas-lighting the American people, and not playing fair with Trump.
But in the perennial fight against left-wing media forces, Trump has a knack for being his personal Darth Vader, namely due to his willingness to speak his mind, and occasionally the truth, no matter who it hurts. In a less moronic age that was known and welcomed as candidness.
..."Is she Indian or is she Black?" he asked totally unfazed despite the hisses from the crowd.
...While it is questionable as to whether Trump was actually telling Harris who she was, how millions of Black Americans will interpret Trump’s comments is another matter. Cause, otherwise, all these "African-American" DEI lottery winners would vote Trump.
Regardless, he has set himself up for what could be a very uncomfortable — even disastrous — exchange with Harris, who, as a far less accomplished speaker than The Donald, will jump on any opportunity to play the victim card. And Trump may have just unwittingly handed her the ace of spades.
On top of the race card, Trump will also be entering the lion’s den as a climate-change-denying "convicted felon," misogynist, and an anti-abortion supporter — quaint little sound bites that Harris is certainly remembering by heart.
However this tragicomedy plays out, expect lots of handwringing and lecturing from the female (check), Black (check), Indian (check) candidate as she attempts to portray herself as the deserving underdog in a white man’s game.

[Breitbart] Former President Donald Trump ...So far he's been unkillable, and they've tried.... spoke about how ''a lot of people'' do not have the funds to be able to afford ''a whole cart'' of groceries.
''We've got to get the prices down,'' Trump told Elon during a live interview on X. ''You know, when I look at bacon costing four or five times more than it did a few years ago. When you look at some of the food products in grocery stores, people know — they can't believe it. They used to be able to buy a whole cart, and today, a lot of people just don't have the money. They go in and they can't buy anything.''
During the interview, Trump also spoke about how people in the country ''can't buy groceries because they don't have enough money.''
''The election's coming, and the people want to hear about the economy and the fact that they can't buy groceries because they don't have enough money to buy groceries,'' Trump said. ''The inflation has killed them, food prices are up 50, 60, even 100 percent in some cases.''
Under the Biden administration, grocery prices have increased. In 2021, the prices for food increased by 6.3 percent, and 10.4 percent in 2022, according to TheStreet. In 2023, the increase in food prices ''slowed'' to 2.7 percent.
The outlet noted that supply chain issues, increasing production costs, and higher demand were some of the factors behind food prices increasing.

Hey Daily Mail...maybe it is because of printing off a bunch of funny money to have NGOs bring in millions of unemployable 3rd worlders and pay for their food, shelter, and crime?
[SUDANTRIBUNE] Sudan ...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans... 's army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan on Wednesday ruled out a ceasefire until the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) withdraw from occupied cities, rejecting U.S.-backed peace talks set to begin in Geneva.
Hours before U.S.-brokered negotiations were set to begin in Switzerland ...home of the Helvetians, famous for cheese, watches, yodeling, and William Tell... , Burhan reiterated his stance during an Army Day address.
''Military operations will not cease until the last militia withdraws from the cities and villages they have violated and colonized,'' Burhan stated.
He also dismissed calls for peace, asserting that ''there can be no peace while the rebel militia occupies our homes.''
The U.S. special envoy to Sudan, Tom Perriello, confirmed on X (formerly Twitter) that the Sudanese army declined to participate in the Geneva talks. However,
a good lie finds more believers than a bad truth... he emphasized ongoing U.S. efforts to end the conflict and noted the RSF's commitment to negotiations.
Several days ago, Sudanese-American consultations in Saudi Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula, largely made up of sand and oil rigs. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual haj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. Formerly dictatorial and steeped in Olde Tyme Religion, deferring to Salafist holy men on all issues, it has now done a 180 and is making a serious effort to modernize, so as not to be left in the sand by its Gulf Arab neighbors. The holy men have been shoved to the background and the nation is now still dictatorial but somewhat Frational. That doesn't make them trustworthy, but it's a start... failed to secure the army's participation in the Geneva talks, with the Sudanese government insisting on the implementation of a previous agreement with the RSF signed in Jeddah in May last year.
Burhan underscored that the path to peace lies in adhering to the Jeddah agreement, which calls for the protection of civilians and safe passage out of conflict zones. Both sides have accused each other of violating the agreement.
The conflict between the army and the RSF, which erupted in April 2023, has resulted in widespread death and displacement, with millions affected.
Burhan further described the RSF's actions are part of a broader ''treacherous aggression'' supported by foreign powers and a ''hired political group,'' referring to the coalition of civilian forces headed by former Prime Minister Abdallah Hamdok.

Worth noting, korrespondent.net has compiled its Invasion of Ukraine series into separate months, beginning May 9th, 2023. Linked in the title.
[Korrespondent] 22:47 The United States was not involved in planning the Ukrainian offensive in the Kursk region, said Deputy State Department Spokesman Vedant Patel. "Our role is to support Ukraine in its ability to defend itself. We remain focused on ensuring that our Ukrainian partners have everything they need to do that," Patel added.
21:55 Russia is transferring troops from Kaliningrad to the Kursk region, said Lithuanian Defense Minister Laurynas Kasciunas.
21:18 Ukraine held the first round of talks with Great Britain on concluding a bilateral agreement on the transition to a "stronger and deeper partnership," the Presidential Office reported. "The new document should contain even more ambitious goals for our cooperation. We seek to secure unprecedented provisions in all areas of mutual interest: from security to the economy, from energy to culture and art," said the head of the OP Andriy Yermak.
20:53 Zelensky reported that he had a meeting with Lithuanian Minister of National Defense Laurynas Kasciunas, who is visiting Ukraine. The key topics of the conversation were the development of the defense-industrial complex and Ukraine's priority defense needs.
20:16 Zelensky said in an evening video address that in the Kursk region "hundreds of Russian soldiers have already surrendered, and all of them will receive humane treatment - they have not seen such treatment even in their own Russian army." The president also emphasized that "the more the Russian military presence is destroyed in the border regions, the closer peace and real security will be for our state."
19:56 The Russian army is experiencing a shortage of troops to wage war against Ukraine, so this could force Moscow to begin a new wave of mobilization, Bloomberg writes, citing sources. The source said that the scale of Russian losses and the insufficient level of replacement are making it increasingly difficult to maintain the war strategy.
19:44 The first thematic conference on the implementation of the third point of the Peace Formula "Energy Security" will be held in August in an online format, Yermak said. According to him, the total generation losses as a result of Russian shelling amount to 9 GW, and the most difficult month for Ukrainians and the economy due to the unprecedented electricity shortage was July of this year. "Now our energy workers have managed to stabilize the situation, and there have been no outages for more than two weeks. But the autumn-winter season is ahead, and we must coordinate efforts to prevent new destruction and facilitate the restoration of the energy sector," the head of the OP added.
19:32 Ukraine controls 74 settlements in the Kursk region, Zelensky said following a conversation with Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrsky. "Despite the difficult, intense battles, the advance of our forces in the Kursk region continues, the exchange fund for our state is replenished. Inspections and stabilization measures are being carried out there. The development of humanitarian solutions for these territories continues," the president added.
18:26 Latvia will transfer 500 domestically produced drones to Ukraine, the country's Defense Minister Andris Spruds said. According to him, this year the department has allocated 20 million euros for the drone coalition, of which more than 10 million is intended for the purchase of drones from the Latvian defense industry. In total, the coalition, created in February 2024, includes 14 countries.
17:33 Russian troops shelled Berislav in the Kherson region, one person was wounded, OVA reported. A resident of Dniprovske, who came under enemy fire at midnight, also went to the hospital.
16:36 Sabotage and arson are an element of subversive activities organized by the Russian special services with the aim of destabilizing the socio-political situation in Ukraine, said Nadezhda Maksimets, a spokesperson for the Prosecutor General's Office. According to her, most often, arson is committed by young people aged 18-23 who are looking for a quick way to make money on the Internet. At the same time, most of the perpetrators either do not receive the promised money at all, or receive a significantly smaller amount, Maksimets added. She noted that the real goal of these actions is not the destruction of property, but the obstruction of the activities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and such crimes are punishable under several articles of the Criminal Code.
15:07 Ukrainian OSINT project DeepState reports that the Russian army has occupied Lisichnoye, Ivanovka, Sviridovovka of the Pokrovsky district of the Donetsk region and advanced in Grodovka, Konstantinovka, Nevelskoye, near Sergeyevka, Peschanoye and Novotoretske. At the same time, the enemy has been pushed back near Stelmakhovka of the Luhansk region.
13:58 Ukraine has received 4.2 billion euros from the European Union under the Ukraine Facility program, Shmyhal said. The government will direct these funds to social programs, the humanitarian sphere, and other important budget programs. Ukraine continues to finance military expenses exclusively from its own resources. Since the beginning of the year, the EU has already provided Ukraine with more than 12 billion euros in budget support.
12:46 People's Deputy, Secretary of the Parliamentary Defense Committee, SBU Colonel Roman Kostenko said in an interview with Ukrayinska Pravda that the new law on mobilization has allowed the number of personnel in the Armed Forces to increase, but there is a problem with the quality of those mobilized: "We often have this situation where the TCC chases numbers: you are told - there should be ten per day, you go, catch them and send them to the training center. And as a result - one is a drug addict, another is sick, another has some other problems. These people come to the training center, and then people from military units come and simply do not take them." According to the people's deputy, then these mobilized "sit in training centers, receive wages, but they cannot be fired," and thus it turns out that "our army seems to be growing, but the quality of personnel is not."
In addition, according to Kostenko, the mobilization age in Ukraine should be from 20 to 50 years: "We really have a problem in that the category of people who are currently being called up to the army is quite old... If we want to provide combat units with adequate supplies so that people go healthy and can perform combat missions, this should be the age range of 20-50 years." In his opinion, everyone over 50 years old "can be mobilized at their own request, but not into combat units."
11:50 At night, Russian UAVs attacked energy facilities in the northern region, resulting in the de-energization of industrial and household consumers in certain areas of the Chernihiv region. As of this morning, all consumers have been healed, emergency recovery operations are ongoing, Ukrenergo reported.
11:39 Restrictions on the movement of all categories of citizens in the 20-kilometer border zone have been introduced in Sumy Oblast, the General Staff reported. The corresponding decision was made by the military command "in connection with the increase in the intensity of military actions, the intensification of the activities of sabotage and reconnaissance groups, special operations forces of the enemy and in order to preserve the lives of civilians and military personnel." Admission to the specified territory is carried out on the basis of passports of citizens of Ukraine with a corresponding mark on registration of residence in this zone.
10:44 Ukraine and Russia will maintain gas supplies to Europe through the Sudzha gas metering station in the Kursk region despite the fighting in the region, Bloomberg writes, citing sources. They explained that both sides have a financial incentive to continue gas supplies. For Kiev, transit provides critical funds for its war-torn economy - about $ 1 billion in 2021, while Europe remains one of the largest consumers of Russian pipeline gas.
09:26 In the morning, Russians fired at Zimovnik, Sadovoe and Tyaginka in the Kherson region, five people were wounded, including a foreigner, the prosecutor's office reported.
09:20 On the evening of August 12, Russians shelled the city of Bogodukhov in the Kharkiv region - one person was wounded, four children aged from several months to 11 years were diagnosed with an acute stress reaction, said the head of the OVA Oleg Sinegubov. Another person was wounded as a result of a rocket attack on the village of Zabrody in the Bogodukhov district. One person was also injured in Vovchansk as a result of an FPV drone attack.
09:11 In the Kherson region, over the past day, as a result of Russian shelling, one person was killed, 17 were injured, including two children, reported the head of the OVA Oleksandr Prokudin. Also today, a resident of Antonovka, who was attacked by a Russian drone several days ago, went to the hospital.
08:47 In Donetsk Oblast, four people were killed as a result of Russian shelling on August 12: two in Ukrainsk, one each in Toretsk and Konstantinovka. Another four people in the oblast were injured in the past 24 hours, said OVA head Vadim Filashkin.
08:25 In Sumy Oblast, as a result of a night missile strike, according to preliminary information, one person was wounded, OVA reported. A power line, a gas pipeline, and a hospital building were damaged. Part of the population of Sumy was left without electricity and gas.
07:58 The General Staff announced the estimated losses of the Russian Federation as of the morning of August 13:
personnel - about 593,160 (+1,160) people,
tanks - 8455 (+5),
combat armored vehicles - 16,385 (+17),
artillery systems - 16,764 (+36),
MLRS - 1146 (+0),
air defense systems - 920 (+1),
aircraft - 366 (+0),
helicopters - 328 (+0),
Operational-tactical level UAVs - 13,491 (+19),
cruise missiles - 2426 (+0),
ships/boats - 28 (+0),
submarines - 1 (+0),
automotive equipment and tank trucks - 22,649 (+59),
special equipment - 2806 (+5).
07:20 Air defense destroyed 30 of 38 Shahed-type attack UAVs in Mykolaiv, Vinnytsia, Sumy, Kirovohrad, Kherson, Chernihiv, Dnipropetrovsk and Cherkasy regions at night, the Air Force reported. In addition, Russia used two Iskander-M/KN-23 ballistic missiles during the night attack.
06:32 The United States supports the advance of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kursk region, since this operation is aimed at self-defense, said Deputy Spokesman for the State Department Vedant Patel. He emphasized that Putin launched an illegal invasion of Ukraine, and if he does not like how the country defends itself, he can simply withdraw troops and end the war. At the same time, Patel added that Washington still does not allow the use of American weapons for strikes deep into Russian territory.
05:34 The IAEA said it had inspected a damaged cooling tower at the Zaporizhia Nuclear Power Plant but was unable to determine the cause of the fire that broke out there on August 11. "The agency's experts found no immediate evidence of drone remnants and concluded that it was unlikely that the primary source of the fire started near the cooling tower," the agency said in a statement. According to experts, the damage to the plant was likely concentrated in the interior of the tower at the level of the water nozzle distribution at a height of approximately 10 meters. "The team confirmed that there was no significant evidence of debris, ash or soot located at the base of the cooling tower," the IAEA added.
02:59 Russians attacked civilian infrastructure in Chernihiv Oblast, OVA head Vyacheslav Chaus reported. One of the strikes was carried out on civilian infrastructure in the city of Bakhmach. Preliminary - no casualties.
04:51 Trump called Putin a "good negotiator" in an interview with Elon Musk, while Biden "made a stupid mistake" by allowing Ukraine to join NATO: "When I left, they started building a big army on the border with Ukraine. I thought that with Putin, and he is a good negotiator, they do this to negotiate. And then Biden started saying stupid things. For example, he said that Ukraine could be in NATO. As long as NATO existed, Russia said that it would never do that. And then we go and say this... Russia defeated Germany together with us. Napoleon. They have enormous power. And Ukraine doesn't even have people now. They send young and old people to war. We are in a terrible situation."
Trump also once again said he planned to "get along" with Putin, saying he had threatened him during his presidency if he attacked Ukraine: "I told Vladimir Putin, 'Don't do it. You can't do it, Vladimir. There are going to be bad days. Don't do it.' I told him what I would do in response to his actions. He said, 'It's impossible.' I said, 'Oh, it's possible.' That was the last conversation we had. He would never do that. I got along with him. I hope to get along with him now. It will be a very good thing."

19:56 The situation in the Toretsk direction ismap:
The Russian Armed Forces have again advanced into the settlement of Pivnichnoye (Severnoye) along Repina and Verkhnyaya streets. From there, Russian troops managed to enter the first high-rise buildings of microdistrict 1 (inside the city of Toretsk) on Lesnaya street.

South Donetsk direction: fighting in the east of Konstantinovka and Russian troops reaching the T-05-24 highway.
– In the South Donetsk direction, Russian troops have already reached the key T-05-24 highway in several places, along which the Ukrainian Armed Forces garrison in Ugledar was supplied. At the same time, assault groups of the Russian Armed Forces achieved significant success in Konstantinovka, overcoming the defensive lines of Ukrainian formations in the southeastern part of the settlement.
– After prolonged battles on the approaches to Konstantinovka, Russian troops were able to break through the enemy’s defenses and advance into the settlement itself. Russian Armed Forces units took advantage of the terrain and attacked Ukrainian Armed Forces positions on the southern outskirts of the village, gaining a foothold in the eastern part of Chkalov Street.
Somewhere around August 10, assault groups drove Ukrainian formations from their positions on Shevchenko, Mira, and Shakhtarskaya Streets on the eastern outskirts of the settlement.
– After this, the units of the Russian Armed Forces began systematically pushing back the Ukrainian formations to the central part of the settlement. Despite the resistance of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, by the evening of August 12, the advanced assault groups were able to dislodge the enemy from several more positions and “pull up” their right flank, reaching the left bank of the Sukhi Yaly River. The enemy regularly uses attack drones, as evidenced by objective control footage.
– To the southeast of Vodyanoye, there is fierce fighting on the approaches to the T-05-24 highway. After several months of fighting in the Ikryanoy and Solenyenkaya gullies, Russian troops were able to approach and take the transport artery under fire control in several more places. This makes it virtually impossible for the enemy to use it to supply the garrisons of Ugledar and Konstantinovka.
A further offensive in this area will eventually allow the Russian Armed Forces to bypass the Ukrainian Armed Forces units in Konstantinovka and its environs from the south and take fire control of the S-05-11-33 Katerinovka – Konstantinovka highway, significantly complicating the supply of the latter’s garrison.
- However, to implement this scenario, Russian troops will have to overcome the enemy's defense northwest of the highway and liberate Vodyanoye. Ukrainian formations, understanding the prospects opening up for the command of the Russian Armed Forces after taking this village, will strive to stop the advance of Russian troops in the area and will probably use significant forces for this.
– Complicates the liberation of Vodyane and the control of Ukrainian formations over the territories of the mines "Yuzhnodonbasskaya No. 1" and No. 3. The shafts of both mines allow enemy observers to monitor tens of kilometers around both by visual observation and specialized cameras.
Air strikes using various types of ammunition are regularly carried out on the territory of the mines, but it is difficult to destroy such capital structures even with aerial bombs.

[Regnum] Permission for the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) to strike deep into Russia with Western weapons will be fraught for the West, said Senator and member of the International Committee of the Federation Council Sergei Tsekov.
"This decision will be fraught for them, as it will be regarded as a declaration of war against us. A response from our side will definitely follow," RT quotes the senator as saying.
At the same time, Tsekov added that the West, by supplying the Kiev regime with weapons, is already participating in the conflict with Russia.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, on August 12, the head of the Kiev regime, Volodymyr Zelensky, stated that Ukraine intends to obtain permission from Western allies to strike with their weapons deep into Russia.
On the same day, Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov stated that Kiev is seeking permission from Paris to strike Russia with French weapons.
The Ukrainian Armed Forces are interpreting NATO restrictions on the use of Western weapons supplied to Kiev too freely, the Swiss newspaper Neue Zürcher Zeitung noted on August 9. Ukraine has been arguing with its partners for several months now over the scope of use of foreign weapons, the article noted.
The situation in the Kursk region shows the reason for the Kiev regime's rejection of Moscow's and mediators' peace proposals, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on August 12. According to him, Ukraine is thus fulfilling the will of its Western masters and seeking to improve its position in future peace talks. The Russian leader added that Ukraine's armed forces will continue to try to destabilize the situation in the border areas.
The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) has requested Russia to provide access to the Kursk region to verify data on human rights violations by the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). This was reported by OHCHR official representative Ravina Shamdassani.
"We are trying to gather information about the situation in the Kursk region, but without access it is very difficult. We are asking Russia for access to its territory in order to be able to obtain additional information," Lenta.Ru quotes Shamdassani as saying.
Earlier, on August 11, the Russian Human Rights Commissioner Tatyana Moskalkova appealed to the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights and demanded that terrorism on the part of the Kiev regime be condemned.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, Russian President Vladimir Putin called the Ukrainian Armed Forces' attack on the Kursk region another large-scale provocation by Kiev, emphasizing that Ukrainian armed formations are conducting indiscriminate shooting from various types of weapons, attacking residential buildings, ambulances, and civilian buildings with missiles.
In turn, the Commissioner for Children's Rights Maria Lvova-Belova called the attacks on defenseless people another manifestation of the terrorist nature of the Kiev regime, which cynically kills women and children to intimidate people. She compared these actions with the shootings of civilians in Mariupol, when the Ukrainian Armed Forces shot children in the back, not allowing them to leave the occupied city with their parents.
A Ukrainian soldier detained by border guards in the Kursk region said that they were given orders to shoot residents of the region on the spot for resisting, the FSB reported earlier.

[Korrespondent] 22:47 The United States was not involved in planning the Ukrainian offensive in the Kursk region, said Deputy State Department Spokesman Vedant Patel. "Our role is to support Ukraine in its ability to defend itself. We remain focused on ensuring that our Ukrainian partners have everything they need to do that," Patel added.
21:55 Russia is transferring troops from Kaliningrad to the Kursk region, said Lithuanian Defense Minister Laurynas Kasciunas.
20:16 Zelensky said in an evening video address that in the Kursk region "hundreds of Russian soldiers have already surrendered, and all of them will receive humane treatment - they have not seen such treatment even in their own Russian army." The president also emphasized that "the more the Russian military presence is destroyed in the border regions, the closer peace and real security will be for our state."
19:38 Russia has withdrawn some units from the Zaporizhia and Kherson regions due to the operation in the Kursk region, Dmitry Likhoviy, spokesman for the Tavria operational group of forces, told Politico. At the same time, he noted that this was a "relatively small" number of units.
19:32 Ukraine controls 74 settlements in the Kursk region, Zelensky said following a conversation with Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrsky. "Despite the difficult, intense battles, the advance of our forces in the Kursk region continues, the exchange fund for our state is replenished. Inspections and stabilization measures are being carried out there. The development of humanitarian solutions for these territories continues," the president added.
17:32 The Kursk region authorities announced the cancellation of the previously introduced regional emergency regime, since a federal emergency regime has now been introduced in the region.
17:18 The Ukrainian Armed Forces are 40 km from Kursk, writes the Russian opposition publication Astra, citing official data from the Russian Defense Ministry. According to the agency, Russian aircraft struck Ukrainian Armed Forces units in the areas of Mikhailovka, Korenevo, Nikolayevo-Daryino, Oleshnya, Sudzha, and Nikolayevka - this settlement is 40 km from Kursk in a straight line. In addition, it is claimed that the Russian Armed Forces allegedly "carried out a cleansing operation" of the settlement of Ozerki in the Belovsky District.
16:49 Russians are massively transporting humanitarian aid intended for temporarily occupied territories to Kursk Oblast, the National Resistance Center of the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reports. According to the resistance, this is being presented as an initiative of the TOT population, and locals are being denied delivery so far.
14:51 The Russian Defense Ministry announced attempts by the Ukrainian Armed Forces to break through in the areas of the settlements of Obshchy Kolodez, Snagost, Kauchuk, Alekseevsky in the Kursk region.
14:43 Ukraine does not intend to annex the territories of the Kursk region over which the Ukrainian Armed Forces have established control, confirmed Foreign Ministry spokesman Georgy Tikhyi.
13:30 The Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights has asked Moscow for access to the Kursk region to verify data on alleged human rights violations, Russian media reports.
13:16 Displaced persons from the border areas of the Kursk region will be placed in sanatoriums and boarding houses in the occupied territory of the Zaporizhia region - on the shores of the Sea of Azov from Berdyansk to Kirillovka, said the head of the Russian region, Alexey Smirnov, following a conversation with the Gauleiter of the occupied part of the Zaporizhia region, Yevgeny Balitsky. In addition, according to him, "Zaporozhye volunteers" and "lawyers" have arrived in the Kursk region, who will provide assistance to residents on the spot.
12:37 Recently, the Ukrainian OSINT project DeepState reported that the 225th Separate Assault Battalion successfully defeated Akhmat's unit in the Kursk region. The fighters provided evidence by demonstrating photos with Kadyrov's IDs. "It is difficult to determine exactly which fighters were eliminated (visual identification is complicated by the condition of the bodies) and who retreated from the battlefield, but it is important that people know their names," the statement from the Separate Assault Battalion reads.
10:44 Ukraine and Russia will maintain gas supplies to Europe through the Sudzha gas metering station in the Kursk region despite the fighting in the region, Bloomberg writes, citing sources. They explained that both sides have a financial incentive to continue gas supplies. For Kiev, transit provides critical funds for its war-torn economy - about $ 1 billion in 2021, while Europe remains one of the largest consumers of Russian pipeline gas.
06:32 The United States supports the advance of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kursk region, since this operation is aimed at self-defense, said Deputy Spokesman for the State Department Vedant Patel. He emphasized that Putin launched an illegal invasion of Ukraine, and if he does not like how the country defends itself, he can simply withdraw troops and end the war. At the same time, Patel added that Washington still does not allow the use of American weapons for strikes deep into Russian territory.

Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin is in italics.
[ColonelCassad] Former deputy head of the department of the Research Institute of Military History of the Military Academy of the General Staff, Lieutenant Colonel Alexei Belkov, turned out to be one of the leaders of the pro-Ukrainian neo-Nazi group exposed by the FSB, which maintained ties with the terrorist RDK and "Azov". RDK is a reference to the Ukrainian military units who fought against the Russians.
What is characteristic, at the Institute of Military History, Belkov studied the Vlasovites, whom he called "Russian volunteers". Well, what can you say - everything is quite predictable.
As they say, more plaques to Wrangel and Skoropadsky, schools named after Ivan Ilyin, regular readings named after the Nazi accomplice Ivan Shmelev and the introduction of Bandera sympathizer Solzhenitsyn into the school curriculum. The result is obvious. That's all I have! Ivan Ilyan and Ivan Shmelev were pro Tsar Russian literary figures from the October Revolution era of Russia. Wrangel and Skoropadsky are references to White military commanders during the Russian civil war.
Vlasovites is a reference to Lt. Gen. Andrey Vlasov, who was a Soviet general the Germans turned in 1941. We need to increase the intensity of the exposure of the Bolsheviks and the bloody tyrant Stalin!
Seriously speaking, I have never been surprised, it is not the first time that "Vlasov researchers" have turned out to be real Vlasovites.
Of course, thanks to the FSB for catching this scum, but how did he work in the cleanup?
P.S. The last few days have been active movements, so publications are irregular. Approximately from Thursday-Friday they will be in the usual format, so be patient.
Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin
[ColonelCassad] Yesterday and today, the enemy began to realize that the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces did not take the bait of the proposals to withdraw reserves from New York and the Krasnoarmeysk direction and continues to maintain intense pressure on the enemy's positions, which leads to the liberation of settlements and territory that Russia intends to liberate one way or another.
Of course, the enemy expected that, having succumbed to panic, the Russian command would begin to stop the operational crisis that had arisen at the expense of the most successful directions, and thus the attack of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on the Kursk region would allow the enemy to stabilize the critical sections of the front for him. But this did not happen.
Against the background of the initial PR success, all the operational problems of the Ukrainian Armed Forces came to light related to the fact that part of the reserves needed in the Donbass were tied up in the battles for the southern regions of the Kursk region, without much prospect of achieving serious operational-strategic goals such as the capture of the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant.
And the longer the Ukrainian Armed Forces reserves are tied up in these battles, the more critical their absence will be in key sections of the front in the Donbass.
In this regard, the enemy is left with either increasing the load on the operation in the Kursk region by throwing the available reserves into the battle, or undertaking a more serious attack on the border of the Bryansk or Belgorod regions in order to reverse the emerging operational trends. Or activate the old adventure with the landing on Energodar and Zaporizhzhya NPP.
The enemy's problem is that simple defense is no longer enough - the transition to a full defense in the Kursk region in the current configuration of the front and the transfer of available reserves to Donbass will mean an obvious fixation of the failure of the Kursk adventure, for which part of the front in Donbass was sacrificed.
Therefore, it is more likely that the enemy will try to activate additional strikes on the border or go all out with the landing. Sitting on the defensive will certainly not bring anything good to Ukraine - this scenario is even more advantageous to Russia. Therefore, now, of course, we must carefully watch how the mad animal will rush about in search of a way out of the worsening strategic situation.

Russian military historian, Alexei Isaev, presents key moments during WWII as they relate to the four battles for Khar'kov, had there had been a Telegram communications program and an internet.
Realizing that this is an esoteric subject for those not familiar with this particular piece of real estate during WWII, so it should be noted that the Soviets only won the last battle of Khar'kov, the one directly after Kursk in July, 1943.
[ColonelCassad] IF THE USSR HAD TELEGRAM IN MARCH 1943.
Tagged "sarcasm". With comments on the real state of affairs and references.
"The retreat near Kharkov showed the rottenness of Stalin's regime. Didn't the bitter experience of 1942 teach us anything? Why the same mistakes again? So we'll lose Kharkov too."
Commentary (reference): the situation in March 1943 was fundamentally different from 1942 both in terms of resources and the general situation; in 1943, they caught the weak spot of the advancing group. Yes, they lost Kharkov.
"Chief of the General Staff Vasilevsky is to blame for everything. By the way, why doesn't he show up in Moscow? Some Antonov is here instead of him."
Commentary (reference): A.M. Vasilevsky, who held the position of Chief of the General Staff, was a representative of the Headquarters, and yes, near Kharkov. Vasilievsky was only the third Russian chief of General Staff during WWII, after Marshal Boris Shaposhnikov, who quit because of illness, and Marshal Georgi Zhukov, who was fired.
"The front lines report that the enemy has acquired some heavy Tigers. Was it really impossible to understand that the enemy would not sit idly by and create new tanks? How long will it take to find countermeasures? A month? Two?"
Comment (reference): "Tigers", yes, staged a noisy benefit performance near Kharkov, trampled an anti-tank brigade, an antidote was invented only after Kursk, and in reality later, when they launched the IS-s (first use of Korsun) and T-34-85 (first use at the front in April 1944).
"Our tanks are being shot at from the air! Dozens of vehicles are burning! Like at a proving ground. European factories provided aircraft cannons with tungsten shells despite the red lines for tungsten suppliers and the complete blockade of the continent, outrageous! Where did the Third Reich get tungsten? Why don't we have such weapons? Why don't tanks have large-caliber machine guns?"
Comment (reference): near Kharkov in March 1943, the Germans used anti-tank Ju-87Gs with 37-mm guns with sub-caliber shells, our guys picked up the ejected misfired shot and were able to study it. The tap with tungsten was really not screwed on right away. The number of such planes, however, was small.
Well, how the hypothetical telegram-USSR of 1943 would bomb in June 1943 from Luftwaffe raids on the Volga region with strikes on GAZ and the aircraft factory in Saratov, you can already imagine for yourself.
In the background, the clowns of the "Security-Third Section" are sadly jumping from Magdeburg.
The question is not in the fairness/injustice of reproaches, but in the attitude to events. Armed conflict is always surprises.

If there’s no mechanism given for this it suggests the data they’re using was bad to begin with. By, for example, filtering out heart problems starting in the two weeks after a vaccine is administered by misrepresenting them as from Covid.

It is a grave sin to offer a sacrifice near the location of the Temple while in a state of ritual impurity (since the Temple no longer exists, prayer has replaced sacrifice). Almost all Jews are ritually impure by virtue of being near dead bodies without being cleansed by ashes of the red heifer.

[Breitbart] A recent report about violent mostly peaceful crime dropping in major cities across the United States did not include data for the largest city in the nation.
Axios reported Monday that preliminary data from some major American cities showed violent mostly peaceful crime went down in the first half of 2024.
However,
man does not live by words alone, despite the fact that sometimes he has to eat them... the outlet’s article eventually said, "The Major Cities Chiefs Association’s preliminary data did not include New York City — the nation’s largest city — since it did not submit violent mostly peaceful crime numbers to the organization for the first half of 2024."
At this point NYC probably doesn’t have the staff to do the extra paperwork.
It is important to note that the association’s violent mostly peaceful crime survey showed the number of homicides reported by police in Los Angeles, Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,, had not changed from 155, while that number changed from 75 to 85 in Louisville, Kentucky.
In Minneapolis, the number of homicides rose from 29 to 31, while in Raleigh, North Carolina, the number rose from nine to 16.
President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. We hold these truths to be self-evident. All men and women created ... by the — you know — you know, the thing... (D) and fellow Democrats ...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy,white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects... claimed in June that crime had taken a dip based on a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) report, according to Breitbart News.
However,
man does not live by words alone, despite the fact that sometimes he has to eat them... the news outlet found that claim to be false because Biden and other Democrats failed to mention that thousands of police precincts were not reporting their data to the agency.

In 2022 - Of the 18,884 state, county, city, university and college, and tribal agencies eligible to participate in the UCR Program, 15,724 agencies submitted data in 2022. Which is only 83.2% reporting.
Then in 2024
Another FBI data link indicates 72+/-% of the law enforcement groups were participating in the collection. Or only 13,596 of 18,884 reporting.
It seems either certain Metro's want to hide their crime and demographic crime data. Or, it could be those police agencies were hit hard by "Defund the Police" also. ☺

Selling fentanyl is not considered homicide even though quite often the victim dies. In fact, they're dying at a rate of 100,000 plus per year.
But then, it might be interesting to see some of the stats for lesser crimes. Especially in California, the number for burglaries and shoplifting would be interesting although, since Prop 47, most incidents of shoplifting don't even get reported.

[REGNUM] Since August 6, the losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kursk direction have exceeded 2,000 people, the Russian Defense Ministry reported on August 13. During this time, more than 300 units of enemy equipment have also been destroyed, the department noted.
Over the past 24 hours alone, the Ukrainian Armed Forces lost up to 420 people in this direction, and breakthroughs by enemy mobile groups were prevented, the department noted. During the cleansing of the liberated settlement of Ozerki, up to 15 Ukrainian Armed Forces militants were killed and six were captured.
The Ministry of Defense also reported that the delivery of additional forces and resources to the Kursk region has been organized to increase the troop group and form reserves.
All of Russia has risen to the defense of the Kursk region, said the acting head of the region, Alexey Smirnov, on August 13. The enemy has already realized that it will not be able to break the residents of the region, Smirnov wrote on his Telegram channel.
"From all over Russia, we receive medicines, food, building materials, essential items, transport, and equipment for the military. In the first, most difficult days for us, the heads of Russian regions responded to our call for help: they accommodated migrants, sent humanitarian aid, provided financial, technical, personnel, and most importantly, moral support," the acting governor noted.
The federal center provides powerful support to the region, and President Vladimir Putin personally oversees the work, Smirnov emphasized.
"THERE ARE 2,000 PEOPLE UNDER ENEMY OCCUPATION"
The Ukrainian Armed Forces control 28 settlements in the Kursk region, acting head of the region Alexey Smirnov said on August 12 during a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"The enemy controls 28 settlements in the Kursk region, the penetration depth is 12 kilometers, and the front width is 40 kilometers. There are 2 thousand people under enemy occupation, about whose fate we know nothing. 180 thousand people are subject to evacuation, 121 thousand people have left and been evacuated," Smirnov said.
In Kursk Oblast, as well as in neighboring border regions — Belgorod and Bryansk Oblasts — a counter-terrorist operation regime was introduced on the night of August 9-10. Residents are being evacuated from Sudzhansky, Bolshesoldatsky, Lgovsky and Korenevsky districts of Kursk Oblast and Krasnoyarsk-Belgorod.
In Belgorod region, according to the head of the region Vyacheslav Gladkov, the situation has recently deteriorated sharply due to shelling by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Drone attacks, shelling of the border area with barrel artillery and mortars have become more frequent, and "social tension" is growing in the region.
Shebekino is one of the most affected cities in the region, and evacuation from it continues. According to Gladkov, about 50-70% of residents have left the city.
"KYIV IS FULFILLING THE WILL OF ITS WESTERN MASTERS"
Having heard the reports, the head of state named the reasons that pushed the Ukrainian Armed Forces command to attack in the Kursk region. First of all, Putin noted, the situation in the region shows why Kyiv refused peace talks with Moscow, including peace initiatives of mediators.
"Such actions, of course, pursue the main military goal - namely, to stop the advance of our troops to fully liberate Donbass and Novorossiya and improve our negotiating positions. The Russian Armed Forces are advancing along the entire line of combat conflict in the special operation zone, and the pace of advancement of the Russian Armed Forces along the entire front has increased by 1.5 times," the president emphasized.
Despite the fact that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are trying to create favorable conditions for negotiations with their offensive, there can be no negotiations with people “who are hitting civilians and creating a danger to nuclear power facilities,” Putin said.
Among other goals of Kyiv, which is fulfilling the “will of its Western masters,” the president named an attempt to destroy the cohesion of Russian society and emphasized that the enemy had failed to do so.
"The West is fighting the Russian Federation with the hands of Ukrainians, Putin said. The losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces are increasing dramatically, including among elite units," the head of state summed up.
He set the task for the relevant departments and security agencies to drive the enemy out of Russian territory and strengthen the security of the state border, as well as to ensure a counter-terrorist operation regime in the border area.
According to Putin, not only Kursk, but also Bryansk region may be subject to attacks: he called on the leadership of this region to be vigilant, despite the fact that “everything is calm there today.”
At the same time, the government is engaged in supporting residents of the Kursk region, as reported to the president by the First Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation Denis Manturov.
The support measures include evacuation of the population; one-time payments of 10 thousand rubles per person, and within the framework of the current emergency status, citizens receive another payment of 15 thousand rubles; payments for complete or partial loss of housing and to relatives of the deceased; free communication in areas suffering from shelling.
Putin supported the decision to introduce a moratorium on mortgage and consumer loan payments in the Kursk region, and in the future, in the Belgorod region.
DELIBERATE ATTACKS ON CIVILIANS
The situation in Kursk Oblast was also commented on by the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation. The report by the official representative of the department, Svetlana Petrenko, stated that the Investigative Committee is recording targeted crimes by the Ukrainian Armed Forces against the civilian population.
"Ukrainian servicemen opened fire on a group of civilians who were evacuating from the Gornalsky St. Nicholas Belogorsky Monastery. As a result, one person died. The Ukrainian operator of an FPV drone, who sees everything around the aircraft he controls in real time, deliberately directed it at an ambulance in the city of Sudzha.
The paramedic and the driver were killed in the explosion, and the doctor was hospitalized with injuries. Journalist Yevgeny Poddubny, who was performing his professional duties, became a target of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and was wounded, despite the fact that he did not have a weapon with him. And these are just a few examples," Petrenko said.
The defendants in the case are also known: the commanders of two units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Vladimir Pipko and Emil Ishkulov, who are suspected of committing a terrorist attack, murders and attempted murders.
Every day, more and more evidence appears of the participation of Western mercenaries in the fighting in the Kursk region.
On August 12, the FSB Public Relations Center reported that officers of the Border Directorate of the FSB of Russia for the Kursk Region in the Belovsky District, with the assistance of local residents, detained a serviceman of the 80th Separate Airborne Assault Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
During the interrogation, the report noted, the prisoner reported that he had received an order to shoot everyone on the spot if the local population resisted. And when entering populated areas of the Kursk region, the Ukrainian Armed Forces servicemen were engaged in looting and took with them everything they could carry.
Later, a video of the interrogation provided by the FSB Public Relations Center was published. The prisoner was a fighter from the 2nd squad, 2nd platoon, 6th company, 80th Separate Airborne Assault Brigade, Ruslan Poltoratsky. He said that they were transferred to the border on July 28, and that they were ordered to kill residents of the Kursk region by a commander with the call sign Strizh.
But Poltoratsky spoke about more than just this. Among other things, he reported on the foreigners who invaded Russia with them.
"When we crossed the border with Russia, at first I thought there was interference with the radio, but then I understood the speech. They were speaking English, Polish, maybe even French. It was strange, I didn't understand anything. I said into the radio: "Repeat, repeat," and there was some gibberish.
When we had already taken up positions, we also went on air with the command, we went on air with ours. And I also heard something being said in English, something about houses, house, and I heard shooting. And even though we were quite far away, the screams were heard separately,” Poltoratsky recalled.
His words are far from the only evidence of the presence of foreign mercenaries in the Kursk region.
“A missile strike with a thermobaric warhead on a temporary deployment point for foreign mercenaries on the southern outskirts of Sudzha killed 15 militants,” the Russian Defense Ministry reported on August 10.
And soon some of the mercenaries were caught on video.
"GAMARJOBA!"
On Thursday, August 8, two videos appeared on The Dead District account on the social network X. The first showed Ukrainian troops firing mortars. The second showed Ukrainian soldiers taking cover.
"Georgians in the Kursk People's Republic," the first video was captioned. "Georgians together with Ukrainians in Kursk (Kursk region. - Ed.)," the second one was captioned.
The American publication The Warzone reported that the Georgian Legion* (a terrorist organization banned in Russia. — Ed.) is participating in the fighting. At the same time, a source familiar with the situation told the publication that a total of about 120 militants from the organization are taking part in the fighting in the region.
Two days later, on August 10, a video appeared on social media showing Ukrainian soldiers posing in front of the House of Culture in the village of Poroz, in the Grayvoronsky District of the Belgorod Region. "Good health to you. Battalion 252 is in the village of Poroz, Belgorod Region," said one of the soldiers.
The soldiers were holding two flags. One was the 252nd Marine Battalion of Ukraine, the other was the Georgian flag with signatures on it. The soldier holding the Georgian flag resembled the soldier from the video from August 8.
Belgorod Region Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov first stated that the situation was being looked into and entry to Poroz was closed. And already on the evening of August 10, Gladkov published a video from Poroz on his Telegram channel.
"Two of our residents from the village of Poroz in the Grayvoron district were forcibly detained by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. They are fine now - they are alive, healthy and are with their families. We met with one of the families, talked with relatives. Of course, everyone was very worried, did not sleep all night. Thank God, everything worked out," Gladkov wrote.
The participation of Georgian mercenaries in the invasion of the Kursk region, as well as in reconnaissance in force in the Belgorod region, among other things, coincided with the 16th anniversary of the operation to force Georgia to peace.
As a number of commentators have noted, the participation of Georgian mercenaries could have had several goals. Firstly, it was a kind of "revenge" on Russia. Secondly, if the mercenaries were killed or their symbols were desecrated, this would have caused an increase in Russophobic sentiments in Georgia, creating further difficulties for the pragmatic government of the republic, which does not want to sacrifice the interests of the country for the sake of the West.
Moreover, it is not only Georgian mercenaries who want to achieve “revenge” in the Kursk region.
GERMAN HAWKS
On August 12, in a commentary for the publication Die Welt, retired Bundeswehr General Klaus Wittmann called for the lifting of restrictions on the use of Western weapons in Russia by Ukraine.
"I am a historian by education. I know what role Kursk played in the Great Patriotic War. And it is there that Russia is now being hurt! And this is simply grandiose!
"What you say here about the West, about Western permissions and restrictions, I can only repeat clearly: the restrictions that we impose on Ukraine, on the use of Western weapons, I consider them absurd, and they help Putin. They only work for Russia. And this fear of escalation must stop!" Wittmann said.
Moreover, this was not the first German justification for the Ukrainian Armed Forces' invasion of the Kursk region. Earlier, the German Foreign Ministry stated that "Ukraine has the right to self-defense, enshrined in international law. This right is not limited to its own territory."
At times, German politicians even found completely Jesuitical arguments.
“The question of whether Western weapons were involved (in the invasion – Ed.) does not arise, since after delivery they become Ukrainian weapons,” said Bundestag member and foreign policy expert for the Christian Democratic Union Roderich Kiesewetter.
However, Wittmann's words indicate that the day is not far off when German politicians will begin to justify the direct use of the Bundeswehr against Russia.
But for German soldiers, as well as Polish, French and many others, if there is a place on the fields of Russia, it is only among the coffins that are not alien to them.

[Regnum] In 2024, 110 terrorist attacks were prevented in Russia, said the director of the Federal Security Service (FSB) Alexander Bortnikov.
“Since the beginning of the year, 110 terrorist attacks have been prevented, in the preparation of which citizens recruited by the enemy participated,” the National Anti-Terrorism Committee (NAC) quoted Bortnikov as saying.
At the same time, according to the FSB director, more than 1,050 people were detained for preparing and committing terrorist crimes, justifying and promoting terrorism, financing terrorists and providing them with assistance.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, on August 9, Russian President Vladimir Putin discussed aspects of the fight against terrorism at a meeting with permanent members of the Russian Security Council. After that, the FSB director made a report.
On April 24, the Russian Security Council held the 12th International Meeting of High Representatives in charge of security issues in St. Petersburg. Addressing its participants, Putin called terrorism one of the most serious threats of the 21st century.
The President stated that terrorist attacks are often carried out not only by radical groups, but also by the special services of some countries. Using terrorists, they try to destabilize the situation in countries and incite interethnic and interreligious strife.
Since the beginning of 2024, 45 cells of international terrorist organizations (ITOs) have been identified in Russia that recruited residents of the North Caucasus and migrants from Central Asia. This was reported on August 13 by the National Anti-Terrorism Committee (NAC).
“The coordinated actions of security forces have stopped the activities of forty-five covert MTO cells this year,” the NAC reported.
At the same time, the committee clarified that at the moment, threats from the ITO remain, whose emissaries are trying to introduce ideas of non-traditional Islamic movements in the Russian Federation, and are also searching for terrorist acts and armed attacks among residents of the North Caucasus and migrants from Central Asia.
Elon Musk pitched a "government efficiency commission" to cut government waste while speaking with former President Donald Trump ...Oh, noze! Not him!... on Monday, and offered to "help out" with such an endeavor.
Musk called for the commission during his more than two-hour conversation with Trump on Monday night. Trump was very receptive to the idea. The relevant conversation begins around the 1:44:00 mark:
"I think it would be great to just have a government efficiency commission that takes a look at these things and just ensures that the taxpayer money, the taxpayers’ hard-earned money, is spent in a good way," Musk told Trump. "And I’d be happy to help out on such a commission if it were formed." I'd agree, except that I'd make it a Government Effectiveness Commission.
"I’d love it. You, you’re the greatest cutter," Trump responded. "I mean, I look at what you do. You walk in, you just say, ’You want to quit?’ I won’t mention the name of the company, but they go on strike, and you say, ’That’s okay; you’re all gone.'" ... and the UAW's already filed suit...
He added that Musk "would be very good" in such a role and that he "would love it."
Moments earlier in the discussion Musk emphasized the United States needs to reduce spending, noting that "inflation comes from government overspending because the checks never bounce when it’s written by the government."

[Dhaka Tribune] BNP Chairperson and former Prime Minister the loathesomeKhaleda Zia ...Three-term PM of Bangla, widow of deceased dictator Ziaur Rahman, Pak foil, head of the Bangla Nationalist Party, an apparent magnet for corruption ... is set to get a police escort once again after nearly a decade.
The Ministry of Home Affairs issued an order for ensuring police escort for Khaleda Zia, Jahangir Alam, senior secretary to the Public Security Division of the ministry said on Tuesday.
The police escort was withdrawn by the then Awami League government after Khaleda Zia lost her post as the opposition leader in parliament in 2015.
On August 6, Khaleda Zia was completely freed by an order of President Mohammed Shahabuddin.
The president passed the order under Article 49 of the Bangladesh Constitution, according to a gazette issued by the home ministry on August 6.
Article 49 states that "The president shall have power to grant pardons, reprieves, and respites and to remit, suspend, or commute any sentence passed by any court, tribunal, or other authority."
She was placed in Old Dhaka Central Jail on February 8, 2018, after a special court sentenced her to five years in prison in the Zia Orphanage Trust corruption case. On October 30, 2018, the High Court raised her punishment to 10 years. Later, she was convicted in the Zia Charitable Trust corruption case.

[GEO.TV] Hezbollah has launched multiple rocket volleys at Israel, triggering air raid sirens across multiple border areas.
The Lebanese group confirmed three sets of rocket attacks on Israeli positions, with the first targeting a site in the occupied Kfarchouba hills. A second barrage was directed at "a deployment of Israeli enemy soldiers in the Jal al-Deir site" and a third targeted a military headquarters in Meron.
The Israeli military confirmed that at least 15 rockets were detected entering from Leb ...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah 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 dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original 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... , which it said fell in open areas and did not cause any casualties.
The Israeli military said in its statement that it also launched air strikes on two rocket launchers that were ready to fire on Israeli positions from southern Lebanon.
