-Lurid Crime Tales-
Kansas City parade shooting suspects are charged as MINORS, despite prosecutor previously claiming they'd face justice as adults - meaning their identities may be kept private
2024-02-17
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Two teenagers have been charged as juveniles in the Kansas City Chiefs parade shooting, despite a prosecutor previously saying they would be accused as adults.

The suspects, who remain unidentified by authorities, are charged with gun-related offenses and resisting arrest, said The Jackson County Family Court division.
Do either of the lads live together with both biological parents?
'It is anticipated that additional charges are expected in the future as the investigation by the Kansas City Police Department continues,' the Office of the Juvenile Officer said in a statement.

Missouri law dictates that juvenile hearings are not open to the public. It's possible the suspects could be charged as adults if and when they are charged with a felony.

A third juvenile initially believed to be involved has since been determined to not been connected to the shooting and was released.

As Kansas City tries to recover after the mass shooting that turned a Super Bowl celebration into chaos, police are working with juvenile prosecutors to determine what happens next with the two young people in custody.

Police Chief Stacey Graves said investigators believe the shooting was triggered by a personal dispute between a small group, and the parade was not the target. Graves added that preliminary findings show no connection to terrorism or homegrown extremism.

Government Corruption
Supreme Court Grants Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold 10 Minutes to Justify Her Position on Disqualifying President Trump From Ballot
2024-02-04
[THECONSERVATIVETREEHOUSE] Apparently the Lawfare crew have been working and coaching overtime to give Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold a framework to explain to the Supreme Court how Colorado’s very specific election laws allow for presidential candidates to be disqualified despite meeting all constitutional requirements. State Solicitor General Sharon Stevenson would be the legal mind representing Jena Griswold. This should be an interesting attempt.

Griswold asked the Supreme Court for 15 minutes to explain how Colorado law supersedes the U.S. Constitution. In an order announced earlier today, the court has granted Ms. Griswold 10 minutes to make her case. The oral arguments will take place on Thursday, February 8th.

President Trump’s attorneys will have 40 minutes. The Lawfare group "Colorado voters", funded by CREW (Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington), will have 30 minutes, and the Colorado Secretary of State will have 10 minutes.

US sanctions Iranian officials over cyber-attacks on water plants
2024-02-03
A harshly worded sanction I hope.
[BBC] The US has imposed sanctions on six officials in Iran's powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) which it says are responsible for the cyber-attacks on American water plants late last year.

The US has said an Iranian-backed militia group is responsible for that attack.

"The deliberate targeting of critical infrastructure by Iranian cyber actors is an unconscionable and dangerous act," said Brian Nelson, Under Secretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence, in the announcement.

The sanctioned individuals are part of the IRGC's Cyber-Electronic Command (IRGC-CEC), and include Hamid Reza Lashgarian, the head of the cyber organisation, and also a commander in the IRGC-Quds Force.

The Quds Force is Iran's shadowy overseas operations arm, which the US accuses of being responsible for attacks in the Middle East.

Mr Nelson added that "the United States will not tolerate such actions and will use the full range of our tools and authorities to hold the perpetrators to account".

The US Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (Cisa) calls America's water systems that residents rely on to drink clean water 'target-rich, cyber-poor'.

"It's why Cisa moves with such urgency," said the agency's executive assistant director for cyber-security, Eric Goldstein, in an interview with the BBC.

He said there could be "a hypothetical scenario where [the cyber-attacks] had life-safety impact and affected the potability of water".

Media Matters Democrat mega-donors 'mistakenly' revealed in court filing: report
2024-01-07
[NYPOST] The left-wing advocacy group Media Matters for America is being bankrolled by some of the biggest Democratic megadonors in the country, according to a new report.

The Washington Free Beacon reported Thursday that Media Matters, a liberal nonprofit often cited by legacy news organizations as a media watchdog, might have “mistakenly” identified some of its biggest donors in a November filing to the New Mexico attorney general’s office.

According to the filing obtained by the Free Beacon, Media Matters’ biggest donor was Deborah Simon of the shopping mall giant Simon Property Group, who gave $4 million to the nonprofit.

As the Free Beacon noted, Simon had been outspoken in her pledge to defeat former President Trump ahead of the 2020 presidential election and has collectively given $53 million to various Democratic campaigns and causes since 2018.

The next highest donation to Media Matters came from the Gill Foundation, which contributed nearly $3 million, according to the form.

The foundation is run by tech entrepreneur and gay rights activist Tim Gill, a major power player in Colorado Democratic politics.

Other top donors include the Stephen Silberstein Foundation, the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation and Bain Capital co-chairman Joshua Bekenstein and his wife Anita, all giving between $1.75–1.9 million, according to the Free Beacon.

Media Matters was founded in 2004 by Democratic activist and staunch Clinton ally David Brock.

Tankers of the Western Military District in the special operation zone provide fire support to motorized rifle units, ensuring the advance of Russian troops. The fire is controlled using unmanned aerial vehicles. Tankers widely practice shooting from closed firing positions.

“The advantage of the tactic is that the tank can operate like artillery, that is, from a closed position over long distances. In our case, this is a range from seven to nine kms. Another advantage is that it is indirect fire. We work according to coordinates... There is a result,” says the commander of the T-80BV tank with the call sign “Kozak”.

The main thing is good camouflage and crew coordination, the commander is sure.

“Upon arrival, we try to camouflage the tank properly. So that drones from above do not notice us. Everything is as it should be. The main thing is camouflage, competent work, crew coordination. And everything is fine. The guys are friendly, well done. We all understand each other. Everything is as one. The technology doesn’t fail, everything is fine!” – “Kozak” shared.

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Clashes continue to rock Ain al-Helweh camp Tuesday
2023-08-02
[AnNahar] Fruit and vegetable seller Ismail Akkawi had no choice but to brave days of intermittent but deadly fighting 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...
's biggest Paleostinian refugee camp in order to make ends meet.

The produce market at the heart of the restive Ain al-Helweh camp -- in the southern coastal city of Sidon -- is usually bustling with vendors, but few have ventured out since festivities broke out in the camp late Saturday.

"I have to leave the house, despite the horrific circumstances for selling vegetables," said Akkawi, who is in his sixties.

If the violence continues, "who will put food on the table for me and my family?" he asked.

Outbreaks of violence are common in the camp, but 11 people have been killed in the current flare-up -- the worst in years, pitting members of Paleostinian President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas
...aka Abu Mazen, a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial. While no Yasser Arafat, he has his own brand of evil, just a little more lowercase....
' Fatah movement and Islamist holy warriors.

It is not yet known why the latest festivities broke out.

Ain al-Helweh is home to more than 54,000 registered refugees. It was created for Paleostinians who were driven out or fled during the 1948 war that coincided with Israel's creation.

Thousands of Paleostinians who sought refuge from Syria's civil war have also joined the camp in recent years.

Paleostinian factions said they had agreed on a truce on Sunday but it failed to hold, and fighting continued on Monday and Tuesday with automatic weapons and rockets being used.

Deserted buildings stand riddled with bullet holes on the front lines, while charred cars litter the camp's southern district of Hittin, which witnessed festivities and shelling.

- FEAR OF SHORTAGES -
Bread vendor Mukhtar, 62, said panicked residents were stocking up on supplies.

"People are buying two bags of bread, fearing shortages due to the security situation," he said, declining to give his surname.

The fighting has prompted the United Nations
...aka the Oyster Bay Chowder and Marching Society...
to suspend its activities in Ain al-Helweh, while shops and public institutions have also closed in Sidon, the largest city in southern Lebanon.

"Arrangements are under way to establish a serious ceasefire," senior Fatah official Mounir Makdah told AFP on Tuesday.

Paleostinian security forces are working "to remove the button men from the streets and form an investigation committee" to identify those responsible for the violence, he added.

"All factions have collectively decided to hold perpetrators of breaches and security incidents to account," Makdah said.

Tiny Lebanon hosts an estimated 250,000 Paleostinian refugees, according to UNRWA, the U.N. agency for Paleostinian refugees.

Most live in one of Lebanon's 12 official camps, and face a variety of legal restrictions, including on employment.

By long-standing convention, the Lebanese Army does not enter Paleostinian refugee camps, leaving the factions themselves to handle security.
