-Lurid Crime Tales-
Jewish man in Montana assaulted on Oct. 7 anniversary by self-declared Nazi
”Nothin’ personal, dude, I just hate all youse guys. En garde!!”
[IsraelTimes] Suspect accused of accosting victim with Star of David tattoo who asked him if he had any Nazi-linked tattoos, reportedly told arresting officer he is a member of the ’4th Reich’

A Jewish man in Missoula, Montana, was assaulted on October 7 by a self-proclaimed "Nazi," according to the Missoula Police Department.

On Tuesday, the suspect, Michael Cain, 29, got into an argument with the victim who had a visible tattoo of the Star of David on his forearm. Cain asked the victim about his tattoo and allegedly identified himself as a believer in the teachings of the Nazi party.

When the victim, who told Cain he was Jewish, then asked Cain to show him any Nazi-related tattoos on his body, Cain allegedly kicked and punched the victim, who was seated on the ground.

Missoula police then responded to the Poverello Center, a local homeless shelter where the assault took place, and later apprehended Cain who had expeditiously departed at a goodly pace
While en route to the local detention center, Cain disclosed to the arresting officer that he was a member of the "4th Reich" and said that while he did not attack the victim because of his Jewish identity, he would have if he had been more adamant about his beliefs, according to court documents obtained by local news outlet KGVO.

Cain was charged with felony malicious intimidation or harassment relating to civil or human rights
...which are usually entirely different from personal liberty...
and his bond was set at $50,000.

Montana is home to just under 1,500 Jews out of a general population of over 1.1 million. In 2023, the Anti-Defamation League recorded just 21 antisemitic incidents in the state.

#1  To me these protests seem to be over thing the issue. Why not have someone from the softball team knock him unconscious accidentally with some practice swings. If they’ve got cameras in the locker room, they can’t admit it. If he complains about being assaulted, call him a homophobe.

-Short Attention Span Theater-
President Trump Snub Proves The Nobel Peace Prize Is A Joke
[The Federalist] Just one day after the two-year anniversary of the horrific October 7 attack by Hamas, it was announced that Israel and Hamas accepted the terms of President Donald Trump’s plan to end the war.

It was a feat that then-President Joe Biden could not accomplish. In fact, it was a feat that no other world leader could accomplish in the course of two years. And yet Trump, in 10 months, has ended a devastating war. Such a breakthrough would certainly warrant the Nobel Peace Prize.

But on Friday it was announced that Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado won the award. Notably, Machado dedicated her award to Trump "for his decisive support of our cause."

Nobel Committee chair Jørgen Watne Frydnes suggested Friday that Trump didn’t win the award — not simply because he missed the nomination deadline, which was in January — but because he lacked "courage and integrity."

"This committee sits in a room filled with the portraits of all laureates and that room is filled with both courage and integrity. So we base only our decision on the work and will of Alfred Nobel," Frydnes said when asked about the push for Trump to be given the award following the historic peace deal.

Perhaps, then, if the commission bases its decision on the "work and will of Alfred Nobel" it makes sense that Trump was not awarded the prize because Nobel was a Jew-hater.

#6  Hey guys! The Nobel just awarded was for last year.

Yes, and when they gave it to Baraq in 2009 it was for what he'd done in 2008 which was before he even took office. Like I said yesterday, when they awarded the Nobel Peace Prize to Baraq the appearance was and still is that it was because he was the first black POTUS and a Democrat/globalist to boot. That's why they'll never give it to Trump, no matter how many wars he stops.

-Signs, Portents, and the Weather-
Super typhoon set to send shockwaves through the US is just days away
by Tom Chapman

[UniLadTech] It could be time to batten down the hatches as the potentially deadly Typhoon Halong is set to cause trouble in the United States.

In a year that’s seen the USA battle Los Angeles wildfires, floods in Alaska, rare supercell thunderstorms, and tsunami warnings thanks to earthquakes in the Pacific Ocean, it's hard to see how the climate change deniers really have a leg to stand on.

Even Bulgarian mystic Baba Vanga warned us to brace for more extreme weather in 2026, but in our more immediate future, Typhoon Halong could be about to send shockwaves through the USA.

After skirting past Japan, the super typhoon is now on track to cause a butterfly effect of extreme weather across the US as it enters the North Pacific. The ocean's fast-moving jet stream is poised to absorb Halong's energy and trigger more intense storms along the storm track.

Numerous locations are told to ready themselves for the aftereffects of Typhoon Halong, with forecasts suggesting the power of the super typhoon could cause hurricane-force winds in Alaska's Bering Sea.

#7  as of this evening, Halong is no longer a tropical storm and peak winds are below hurricane force

the energy from the storm is being entrained into the general westerlies

yes, the remnants will affect Alaska as basically, just another fall storm

and btw, SF is expecting a pretty good shot of rain Monday 13 Oct

The Earth may be affected by a coronal hole on October 12
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] Magnetic storms are likely on Earth on October 12, possibly triggered by a coronal hole on the Sun. This was reported on October 10 by specialists from the Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IKI RAS).

"A coronal hole is currently being observed on the Sun and, apparently, it will begin to affect Earth somewhat earlier than previously predicted, as early as the afternoon of Sunday (October 12)," the laboratory clarified on its Telegram channel.

In this regard, scientists have predicted weak magnetic storms. The coronal hole is located on the solar equator, which guarantees its impact on Earth. The influence of the solar wind will be felt until Tuesday, October 14.

Earlier, Sergei Bogachev, head of the Solar Astronomy Laboratory at the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, reported that, according to the theory of stellar evolution, the Sun will consume its closest planets—Mercury, Venus, and Earth—in five billion years. Then, the Sun will turn into a white dwarf and become an eternal object. Until then, the Sun will shine steadily

#1  I thought the coronal hole was defeated in the 2016 election. I must have been mistaken. I would click on the link to learn more, but there is a percentage chance it will lead to a picture of Rosie O’Donnell in a thong. The percentage is low, but I won’t risk it.

#2  "...the Sun will consume its closest planets—Mercury, Venus, and Earth—in five billion years."

Five billion years? And to think Keith Richards will be around to experience that.

Caribbean-Latin America
Venezuelan Freedom Fighter Maria Corina Machado Dedicates Nobel Prize to Donald Trump
[BREITBART] Maria Corina Machado, the 2025 recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, dedicated her recognition on Friday to her Venezuelan people and to President Donald Trump, stating that Venezuelans need his support ''more than ever.''

The Norwegian Nobel Committee announced its prize recipient on Friday morning Oslo time, awarding Machado for decades of advocacy against socialism in her native Venezuela. While the left-leaning Committee did not mention socialism at all in its announcement of the award, failing to recognize who is repressing the former Venezuelan National Assembly member, it did congratulate Machado for ''her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela and for her struggle to achieve a just and peaceful transition from dictatorship to democracy.''

In her first statement following the announcement, Machado declared that the Venezuelan opposition — now largely cleansed of the socialist elements that undermined her leadership for decades — was ''on the threshold of victory.'' She noted that this situation was, in part, due to President Trump's longstanding support for the opposition and his actions to strip the illegitimate narco-dictatorship of Nicolas Maduro of its revenue funds and access to aid from its rogue allies, such as China and Iran.

''We are on the threshold of victory and today, more than ever, we count on President Trump, the people of the United States, the peoples of Latin America, and the democratic nations of the world,'' she wrote, ''as our principal allies to achieve Freedom and democracy.''

''I dedicate this prize to the suffering people of Venezuela and to President Trump for his decisive support of our cause!'' she added.

Pfizer Left COVID-19 Vaccine Data Out Of Submissions To FDA, Documents Show
[ZERO] Data on how parts of a Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine spread in the bodies of mice were withheld from regulatory submissions to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, according to a new comparison of those submissions and similar documents sent to Japanese regulators.

Byram Bridle, who has a PhD in immunology and is an associate professor of immunology and virology at the University of Guelph in Canada, authored the comparison. It was dated Aug. 13 and released on Oct. 4 by Dr. Robert Malone, a vaccine adviser to the U.S. government.
"The findings of this report raise serious questions about the integrity of the health regulatory process during the declared COVID-19 pandemic," Bridle said in his conclusions.
During a September meeting, under questioning by Malone, a Pfizer representative said that its studies of the spread of vaccine elements, known as biodistribution, were done in consultation with the FDA.

"Pfizer does not have a further comment other than we did our work in close consultation with the FDA on all our of biodistribution studies that were approved for our licensed product," the representative said.

Hey. it was a business decision.

#2  Yeah, and the same gang of scum who wanted Pfizer's documents protected for 75 years as if it were SCI material.

Oh well, but I'm sure that $1 million Pfizer gave for Trump's first inauguration ensured a good time was had by all.

[Wikipedia] On October 10, 2025, an explosion occurred at an Accurate Energetic Systems manufacturing plant in Hickman County, Tennessee, United States, causing multiple fatalities and at least four injuries. Nineteen people were missing in the immediate aftermath. The facility, located near Bucksnort, was used in the manufacture, storage, and research of high explosives for various customers, including the Department of Defense.

BACKGROUND
Accurate Energetic Systems is a company established in 1980 that manufactures and researches explosives including demolition charges and high explosives.[1] Their customers include aerospace, oil, and commercial demolition companies.[2] The company had contract with the Department of Defense for the manufacture of explosives.[3][4] They employed approximately 75 people prior to the explosion.[5] The facility is located near the border between Hickman County and Humphreys County in Tennessee.[3] The plant takes up 1,300 acres (530 ha) of land near Bucksnort. Across the eight buildings of the facility, explosives are manufactured, stored, researched, and tested.[2] The explosives manufactured included C-4 and TNT.[5] In 2014, an explosion at another Accurate Energetic Systems manufacturing plant in McEwen killed one person and injured three others while about 20 employees were inside the building as the facility sustained considerable damage.[6] The mayor of Hickman County reported that the facility had had no safety issues apart from the 2014 explosion.[7]
