-Short Attention Span Theater-
FBI arrests Michigan man for allegedly planning mass attack on synagogue
[Jpost] Seann Pielia, 19, now faces charges of transmitting a communication containing a threat to injure another individual.

A teenager from Pickford, Michigan, was arrested on Friday by the FBI after expressing explicit neo-Nazi and antisemitic beliefs online, according to local news sites.

Seann Pietila, 19, now faces charges of transmitting a communication containing a threat to injure another individual, according to the United States Attorney's Office for the Western District of Michigan.

The criminal complaint states that Pietila engaged in conversations on Instagram where he expressed strong hatred towards the Jewish population, voiced support for neo-Nazis and idolized previous mass shooters.

Law enforcement officers executed a search warrant at his residence and discovered a cache of weapons, including firearms, a Nazi flag, a ghillie suit, gas masks and military sniper/survival manuals.

During the search, authorities also found a message on Pietila's phone in the Notes app, which identified a synagogue in East Lansing, along with a date and a list of equipment. The FBI took immediate action upon receiving a report about threatening online communications, leading them to link the messages to Pietila.

"Antisemitic threats and violence against our Jewish communities - or any other group for that matter - will not be tolerated in the Western District of Michigan," US Attorney Mark Totten said in a statement. "Today and every day we take all credible threats seriously."

SUSPECT ADMIRED PREVIOUS MASS SHOOTINGS
The criminal complaint further reveals that the suspect admired the 2019 Christchurch mass shooting in New Zealand. The date mentioned in the notes on his phone corresponded to the fifth anniversary of that tragic event.

The FBI's investigation into Pietila's social media accounts uncovered additional troubling content, including images and posts featuring Nazi symbolism and references to other mass shooters.

Among the items seized from Pietila's residence were ammo magazines, a shotgun, a rifle, a pistol, various knives and firearms accessories. Authorities are determined to address and combat hate crimes, ensuring the safety and well-being of targeted communities.

#3  Tried to google for a picture, the only thing that came up was someone that looked like Boy George. Not what I was expecting for UP. No Michigan news. Sort of weird. I await to determine if he was a daily Mass goer.

#5  Update now: that even that pic is gone also.
One has to wonder why the LSD Media / LSD Deep State is going all out, to avoid displaying its picture and BkGrd data?

Kinda of like the still sequestered Manifesto of the Tranny SHE-IT Hale back in April.

Arabia
Mahrah protest leader accuses foreign powers of conspiring against Yemen
[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] A leader member of the Peaceful Sit-in Committee against foreign forces in Mahrah province, eastern Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
, has accused international and regional forces of conspiring against the security and stability of the province.

"Yemen is passing through a dangerous juncture, and there are international and regional forces seeking to enter Mahrah province into a dark tunnel," said Samih al-Wadhahi, head of the guidance committee of the Mahra sit-committee, on Thursday.

He added that those forces want to deprive the province’s people of its wealth, pointing out that Mahrah occupies an important strategic location overlooking the Arabian Sea and possesses great resources in various fields, as he told "Al-Mahriya TV Channel."

Al-Wadhahi called on the people of Mahrah to confront these forces, saying, "We must follow what our ancestors did in preserving this province and its gains."

He stressed that "everything is compensated except for the homeland, because it cannot be compensated."

#1  That whole area (including all the way to the 'stains) cannot concieve that most of their issues are self-inflicted, therefore it's always someone else's fault.

...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements.

Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat.

movement in Yemen, Mohammed Baraka.

During the meeting, Sayyid Abdul-Malik al-Houthi affirmed Yemen’s the firm and principled position of the Yemeni people towards the Paleostinian people in the face of the Israeli enemy.

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Hannibal Gadhafi's health deteriorating 2 weeks into hunger strike in Lebanon
[An Nahar] A son of Libya's leader Muammar Qadaffy
...The late megalomaniac dictator of Libya, admired everywhere for his garish costumes, funny hats, harem of cutie bodyguards, and incoherent ravings. As far as is known, he is the only person who's ever declared jihad on Switzerland...
is suffering deteriorating health during the second week of a hunger strike to protest his detention in Beirut without trial, his lawyer said Friday.

Hannibal Qadaffy is only drinking small amounts of water, his lawyer Paul Romanos said, adding that his client is suffering from weakness and muscle pains.

"Had it not been for his solid will, he would not have been able to continue," Romanos said about Hannibal Qadaffy. He added that a doctor is doing daily checkups for the detainee, who has been also suffering from back pain that turned out to be an inflammation in the spine.

Romanos said earlier this month that the back pain is due to being held in a small room where he cannot move freely or exercise.

Hannibal Qadaffy has been detained in Leb
...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
since 2015 after he was briefly kidnapped from neighboring Syria, where he had been living as a political refugee.

He was kidnapped by Lebanese snuffies demanding information on the whereabouts of prominent Lebanese Shiite holy man Moussa al-Sadr, who went missing in Libya 45 years ago.

Lebanese police later announced it had collected Hannibal from the northeastern city of Baalbek where he was being held. He has been detained in a Beirut jail without trial since then.

The disappearance of al-Sadr in 1978 has been a long-standing sore point in Lebanon. The holy man's family believes he may still be alive in a Libyan prison, though most Lebanese presume al-Sadr is dead. He would be 94 years old.

Al-Sadr was the founder of the Amal Movement, which fought in Lebanon's 1975-90 civil war. Lebanon's powerful Parliament Speaker Nabih Knobby Berri
...Speaker of the Lebanese parliament, head of the Amal Shiite party aligned with Hezbollah, a not very subtle sock puppet of the Medes and Persians...
heads the group.

Most of al-Sadr's followers are convinced that Muammar Qadaffy ordered al-Sadr killed in a dispute over Libyan payments to Lebanese militias. Libya has maintained that the holy man and his two traveling companions left Tripoli
...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn...
in 1978 on a flight to Rome and suggested he was a victim of a power struggle among Shiites.

Qadaffy was killed by Libyan opposition fighters in 2011, ending his four-decade rule of the north African country.

Hannibal Qadaffy was born two years before al-Sadr disappeared.

#1  Cindy Sheehan recommends smoothies during your hunger strike

#2  What if he just restricts himself to appetizers and the mint chocolate candy they give you with your check? His hunger strike could pretty long that way and he would definitely be hungry. I bet his cell mates might even help him out by stealing a wing or two.

#3  He's been on a hunger strike for two weeks, and he's hungry and weak.
Let's see, what could be causing that?

Berri: Franjieh's numbers shocked rivals
[An Nahar] Parliament Speaker Nabih Knobby Berri
...Speaker of the Lebanese parliament, head of the Amal Shiite party aligned with Hezbollah, a not very subtle sock puppet of the Medes and Persians...
has said that he will await the outcome of the current regional and international efforts before calling for a new presidential election session.

"Leb
...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds.

It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
is present on the agenda of most meetings," Berri said in an interview with Asharq al-Awsat newspaper, noting that Wednesday’s election session has proved that there should be "dialogue and consensus instead of challenge and provocation."

"The votes that (ex-)minister Suleiman Franjieh received came as a clear message, seeing as the number he got shocked the rivals, the same as they were shocked by the meager number of votes that ex-minister Jihad Azour received," Berri added.

Berri also suggested that "Lebanon survived an attempt to create a crisis against the backdrop of the presidential vote."

"They were confident of getting at least 67 votes for Azour and they were planning to create a problem through staying in parliament’s chamber if he gets these votes while considering that he won the elections," Berri charged.

"This would have plunged the country into a very dangerous place," he added.

"We survived a major crisis and everyone must realize that there is no exit other than dialogue," Berri went on to say.

Azour received 59 votes in the first round of voting in Wednesday’s session as Franjieh garnered 51 votes. Berri later adjourned the session amid a loss of quorum and controversy over a "lost" vote. Berri has argued that 86 votes are needed by any candidate to win from the first round while 65 are needed in the second round on the condition that there is a two-thirds quorum.

Lebanon has been without a head of state for more than seven months, and the previous attempt to elect a president was held on January 19.
