[NYP] At least eight people were wounded in shootings and stabbings around the route of the notoriously violent West Indian Day Parade in Brooklyn on Monday — including a costumed woman who took a bullet to her leg, police and law-enforcement sources said.
The injured 37-year-old woman — dressed in an orange-and-gold feathered outfit — was one of three people shot during the mayhem.
"It’s no fun anymore. They won’t stop the shooting,’’ a dismayed bystander said of the criminals causing the annual violence. Obviously, White Supremacists?
Another three men were stabbed and two slashed during the parade’s early-morning J’ouvert pre-festivities.
Bullets flew about 4 p.m. around 800 Nostrand Ave. in Crown Heights near the route, when a 24-year-old man was shot in the butt, according to sources.
"There were a bunch of people fighting at the top of the block. ... And then all of the sudden, you hear, ’Pop, pop,’" said a witness named Edward.
The injured man was taken to Kings County Hospital in stable condition, according to sources.
The HTS/Al Nusra government is still trying to bring the country under control.
[North Press] A man was shot dead on Monday while appearing before the judiciary at the Criminal Court in the city of Latakia on the Syrian coast.
Sources told North Press that the victim’s brother shot and killed a defendant accused of murdering his brother inside the Criminal Court courtroom while the defendant was appearing before the court.
The sources said the defendant was appearing before the court on charges of killing the shooter’s brother. Upon seeing him inside the courtroom, the man pulled out a pistol he had concealed and opened fire in front of judges and lawyers, killing the defendant instantly.
Local media outlets reported that one person was killed and a police officer was wounded in the shooting inside the Criminal Court, while security forces evacuated the courtroom.
[YouTube] Lotus Eaters Daily asks Is Rap Dying Because of USAID?
27 minutes. He opens with a stadium rap concert scheduled in Louisville for late October. A 47,000 seat stadium, several big rap names on the playbill, cheapest seat over $100 — only 160 tickets have been pre-sold. Joe Rogan asked whether this is due to the USAID shut down.
But Mr. Wife, who knows a bit about the business, informs me that rap has been on a steep downward decline for six or seven years. Each generation wants something different than their elders, and the kids prefer rock — a point he gets to later.
Then, at minute 17, talking about rap as a degenerate cultural form designed to control the Black population, he throws out the Israeli president of Island Def Jam records, who created gangsta rap, one Lyor Cohen, “…which is absolutely hilarious,” he says, “because his name is literally liar.” He is wrong, as it happens: Lyor means my light in Hebrew. Mr. Cohen also is not Israeli. His parents were, but they emigrated to America four years before Mr. Cohen was born.

[Regnum] Two large solar plasma ejections will reach Earth on September 8 and 9, disrupting space weather for at least three days. This was reported by the Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Solar Terrestrial Physics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
According to scientists, based on numerical modeling and images from space-based coronagraphs, multiple plasma ejections have been recorded on the Sun over several days. Their calculations predict prolonged geomagnetic disturbances, intensifying to weak and moderate magnetic storms, on the planet.
Moreover, as noted on the laboratory's website, the instruments will record the first changes in solar wind speed on the evening of September 7. Experts added that the likelihood of more powerful impacts during this period is estimated to be low, but new solar ejections could negatively impact these estimates.
Earlier, on September 4, scientists recorded multiple plasma ejections into space using images from space telescopes. They warned that powerful flares on the far side of the Sun do not currently pose a threat to Earth.
Potentially dangerous solar activity will collide with our planet around September 12, Sergei Yazev, a leading researcher at the Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, told Regnum News Agency. He believes that for a strong impact to occur, magnetic energy reserves in this region must remain, but the likelihood of this is low.
Furthermore, Sergei Bogachev, head of the Solar Astronomy Laboratory at the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, reported that geomagnetic disturbances will continue to occur regularly on the planet for at least the next two years. The scientist noted that the current solar activity cycle has already passed its peak, but storms will continue to occur due to coronal holes on the Sun.
[ArmageddonProse] Bernalillo County Sheriff's deputies took a man into custody Wednesday after he showed up outside their headquarters with multiple Flock cameras in the back of his pickup truck.
Since the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Office ended its contract with Flock last month, those cameras should no longer be out on the streets and likely still tracking.
Just for the record, the person arrested was clear, he was not stealing the Flock Cams. He did not damage or destroy them. He was simply returning them to the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Department.
Wonder why these Flock Cams's, no longer used by the local police, were still in place?
Could it be they were still likely active and feeding other agencies?
BTW: What is to keep the enemies of the USA from gaining access to Flock data? Then using it to Track personnel coming and going from certain sensitive cover locations?
[BB] This week, Mexican federal authorities carried out a series of raids throughout Puebla, where they arrested Isaac Rodriguez Ochoa, the mayor of the City of Esperanza, as well as his police chief Abigail (N) and several other men, including the mayor’s brother Manuel Rodriguez. The arrest comes just days after authorities arrested another local mayor from the town of Tepeyahualco and Said de Jesus Godos Luna on various corruption charges.
According to information released by Mexico’s top security official, Omar Garcia Harfuch, the arrests of the two politicians are connected.
During those raids, Mexican authorities seized 35 weapons, including two .50 caliber rifles, tactical gear, a drone, a signal jammer, four armored vehicles and seven other vehicles.
According to Mexican law enforcement sources consulted by Breitbart Texas, the case is tied to an ongoing investigation targeting a large-scale cargo robbery gang known as Los Zuniga. The group is led by Genaro Zuniga Alvarado, who was arrested late last month in Veracruz. The group is believed to be responsible for the violent carjackings of cargo trucks that would move various high-end goods along Mexico’s highways. The goods would then be stored in various warehouses and sold on the black market. Los Zuniga are also connected to various other high-impact crimes, including drug trafficking and ransom kidnapping.
The crackdown comes at a time when Mexico continues to see high levels of violence throughout the country. In the central part of Mexico, highway robberies and carjackings have become one of the main concerns in recent years.
[BNE] Around 30 humanoid and quadruped robots marched in circles, waved flags and "chanted" slogans outside Poland's digital affairs ministry on September 7 in a protest calling for greater scrutiny of artificial intelligence and its impact on jobs.
The unusual demonstration in Warsaw was organised by Democratism, a social movement campaigning for a public debate over how AI and automation should reshape the labour market.
"30 robots. One message: the future is already here," the organisation said in a Facebook post.
[ABC via Wretchard] European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is offering Greenland a new investment package worth more than $230 million.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen unveiled on Monday a 200-million-euro ($232 million) investment package for Greenland, as the European Union seeks to boost its relations with the vast island.
“Greenland can count on the EU,” von der Leyen said, after signing an EU-Greenland declaration with Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen and Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen. Greenland is a semiautonomous territory of NATO ally Denmark.
The EU has increased its focus on Greenland since U.S. President Donald Trump began insisting that the United States should take control of the island for security reasons.
Von der Leyen said the investment partnership “will create new opportunities and a strong and engaged EU in both Greenland and the Arctic, because Greenland is a strategic ally and a trusted friend.”
It aims to help Greenland improve education and fisheries, internet connectivity, hydropower systems, and the use of critical raw minerals. Funds are also earmarked for better housing, support to small businesses and sustainable tourism.
Trump’s persistent claims on the island raised sovereignty concerns and pushback from Greenlandic and Danish leaders and heightened tensions among NATO allies.
Denmark and seven of its European allies sent a small group of military personnel to the island in January, publicly for military exercises focused on strengthening Arctic security, but with the intention of showing support for Greenland’s sovereignty.
In response, Trump threatened to slap new tariffs on them all: Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and the United Kingdom.
“Tariff threats undermine trans-Atlantic relations and risk a dangerous downward spiral,” they said in a statement. “We are committed to upholding our sovereignty.”
Trump eventually backed down after NATO agreed to a security deal in the Arctic region.
Von der Leyen’s visit came as 11 NATO countries began military exercises in Greenland on Monday involving around 400 military personnel, including special forces troops trained to operate in Arctic conditions from Canada, Denmark and Finland.
No U.S. troops are taking part in the Arctic Shield drills, which run Sept. 7-18.

With a 2022 population of 56,283 that works out to $4,122 for every man, woman and child.
Yeah, but nobody believes for a minute that every man, woman and child will get a fair share of it. That money will be used to grease the palms of an elite few.
I might add I'm a bit skeptical about hydroelectric power on Greenland. I don't understand how it will ever work unless von der Leyen is assuming that global warming will melt all those glaciers. But then, von der Leyen has a history of making dubious assumptions.

I read the lead as Wretched European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen
[DE] Swedish Saab, together with the American General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc. (GA-ASI), in an extremely short time began flight tests of the MQ-9B UAV with LoyalEye radar sensor for detecting and tracking air targets. Due to this, the MQ-9B is turning into an unmanned Airborne Early Warning (AEW) solution.
About the first flight of the MQ-9B from GA-ASI with Saab's LoyalEye, which was carried out on May 19 this year at the Desert Horizon test site in California, was simultaneously announced by both companies on Thursday, May 21 of this year. Thus, from the announcement of the development in June 2025, to the first flight, less than a year has passed, which is an extremely short period for this kind of task.
As the developers stated, the tests are also planned to be carried out in a very short time – they will last several months and will end with a demonstration of the full readiness of the unmanned AEW system later this year.
At the moment, any details regarding the characteristics of LoyalEye radar sensor, the range of target detection, as well as the flight time of the MQ-9B UAV with LoyalEye containers are not reported. We can only assume that the weight of the system is unlikely to exceed 2.1 tons, which is the maximum permissible load for the MQ-9B.
Saab limited itself to a general phrase: "LoyalEye on the MQ-9B offers critical airborne sensing, supporting extended persistence and operational reach. As a complement to manned assets, it aims to enhance situational awareness and, in combination, enable greater operational reach and flexibility"
Defense Express notes that such a solution is very interesting for Ukraine, because it is AEW aerial vehicles that can provide effective detection of low-altitude targets. If any ground-based radar has natural limitations in the range of target detection through the radio horizon, which, depending on the terrain, can be 40-50 km, then by raising the radar to a height of 7 km, this radio horizon can be expanded to 350-380 km.
