Who probably didn't vajazzle,

Loved his vignettes of galleons in dazzle.
[GEO.TV] The question of "what is liquid heroin?" sparked widespread curiosity when authorities in Oregon revealed the seizure of 1.4 metric tonnes of the drug last week.
As per the National Institute on Drug Abuse, heroin can be naturally found in the seed pod of opium poppy plants in certain regions of Asia, Mexico, and Colombia. Ingesting the medicine as a powder, which can be white, brown, or black, is how it is most frequently used in the United States, according to USA Today.
According to a Los Angeles recovery facility, the extremely addictive narcotic hasn't been commonly available in liquid form until lately.
As per the Clean Recovery Centres, a drug-rehabilitation organization located in Tampa, Florida, liquid heroin is powdered heroin that has been dissolved in water, cooked, and injected. It is very simple to inject powder or even tablets that have been converted into a serum.
Compassion Behavioural Health of Los Angeles states that the drug's liquid form has a higher risk for heroin addiction due to its quicker blood-brain barrier crossing than other forms.
After morphine, which is produced when heroin metabolises, "binds to opioid receptors in the brain, spinal cord, and other organs, resulting in a powerful analgesic and euphoric effect."
According to a news release from the US Attorney's Office, law enforcement learned late last month that multiple employees of a transnational criminal organization with its headquarters in Mexico were bringing huge amounts of illegal substances into Oregon.
"Investigators followed a rented moving truck and a red pickup to a motel in Tigard, Oregon, where they served a search warrant and found eight barrels containing 370 gallons of liquid heroin and two guns," the US Attorney's Office said.
Assistant US Attorney Scott Kerin described the quantity of liquid heroin as "astronomical" in court last week, as reported by The Oregonian.

[Regnum] American and British strikes targeted targets of the Ansar Allah movement (Houthis) in Hodeidah province in Yemen, Al Masirah TV channel reported.
Earlier, on February 6, the British Navy Maritime Trade Operations Office (UKMTO) reported a new attack on a ship off the Yemeni coast. The attack occurred approximately 92 km south of the port.
In addition, according to UKMTO, on the same day, the Houthis struck a merchant ship 105 km west of the Yemeni port of Hodeidah. As a result of the incident, there was minor damage to the glazing. The ship's crew was not injured.
As Regnum reported, on the night of January 11-12, the United States and Britain, as part of an international coalition, began a military operation in Yemen. They used cruise missiles for attacks. Washington and London said the attack was in response to Houthi attacks on ships off the Yemeni coast.
On February 3, the United States, with the support of Britain, Australia, Bahrain, Canada, Denmark, the Netherlands and New Zealand, attacked 36 targets in 13 locations in Yemen.
Houthi rebels from the Ansar Allah movement fired six anti-ship missiles at two commercial ships in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, US Central Command (CENTCOM) said on Tuesday, February 6.
“The Houthis fired six anti-ship missiles from Yemeni-controlled areas towards the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden,” the report said.
It is noted that three missiles, one of which was shot down by an American destroyer, were fired towards the Greek cargo ship MV Star Nasia flying the flag of the Marshall Islands. As a result of the attack, the ship received minor damage.
Three more missiles fell into the water near the British merchant ship MV Morning Tide, the Pentagon said.
As Regnum reported, on February 6, the UK Navy's Maritime Trade Operations Office (UKMTO) reported that the Houthis attacked a merchant ship sailing 105 kilometers west of the Yemeni port of Hodeidah. It was noted that the shell caused minor damage to the glazing; the crew members were not injured.

The protesters called on Woodward to cease sales to Israeli security firms.
The 33 protesters were released after being booked, police said, and there were no injuries.
About 100 people participated in the protest, WBBM-TV reported.
A call to Woodward MPC for comment was met with a receptionist saying "We have no comment" before she hung up.
Many of the far-left protesters covered their faces with COVID masks, even though they were outside in an apparent attempt to hide their identities.

Woodward MPC, a subsidiary of Woodward, Inc. (a long time Illinois controls manufacturer), makes actuators and motion controls for a lot of industries including aviation and aerospace (with all those icky missiles).
Based on the 'Seven men and 26 women' ratio, my guess is that most of the guys were there for the hot anarchist chicks.

With that, the "Islamic Resistance" network would follow suit & resume attacks apace.

#Israeli forces have killed three Palestinians during a raid on a refugee camp in the occupied #WestBank, officials say, as US top diplomat Antony Blinken stressed the need to de-escalate tensions during a visit to the region.https://t.co/LYhyEVlMDj
... Israel’s military said it killed a wanted suspect in an exchange of fire after encircling the house he was in. It said two more armed fighters who tried to escape the house were also killed in the operation, which lasted four hours and involved a "variety of means." No soldiers were maimed, it added.
The Paleostinian Health Ministry said two men in their 30s were rubbed out by Israeli forces in the Nur Shams refugee camp near the northern West Bank city of Tulkarm. It had no immediate comment on a third fatality.
Camp residents told Rooters that the two men who were shot were not inside the besieged house and that their bodies were found outside. He said Israel fired missiles at the house and bulldozed part of it before its forces withdrew.
Hours after the operation, none of the three men were claimed by any Death Eater factions.
Some 13,519 Paleostinian refugees are registered in Nur Shams camp with the UN agency for Paleostinians, many of whom hope to return to homes from which they or their ancestors fled or were expelled in the 1948 war that followed Israel’s creation.
[IsraelTimes] The IDF and police say troops killed a senior terror operative and another two button men in the West Bank’s Nur Shams refugee camp, close to Tulkarem.
Undercover Border Police officers and IDF reservists of the 8105th Battalion operated in Nur Shams for more than four hours following intelligence information provided by the Shin Bet.
In a joint statement, the IDF and police say the troops encircled the building where the wanted Paleostinian, Moatasem Ali, was holed up, and applied a tactic known as "pressure cooker."
Ali is accused of being a senior terror operative in Nur Shams, and responsible for previous shooting attacks against IDF troops.
The statement says that after using various means, and amid a shootout, Ali was killed.
Two more button men who attempted to flee from the building where the wanted man was holed up were also killed, the IDF and police say.
The troops also recovered weapons from the building, the IDF says.
The statement says no soldiers or officers were hurt in the raid.
In other operations overnight, security forces carried out raids in the West Bank city of Jenin and in Nur Shams, the IDF said. During those activities, murderous Moslems threw bombs at soldiers as well as shot up them. Troops returned fire and engineering units uncovered improvised bombs that were placed along access routes used by security forces. During the operations, seven wanted suspects were arrested.
Meanwhile, ...back at the shootout, another bullet hole appeared in Butch's hat...... in the city of Qalqilya security forces found a storage room that contained "very large amounts of materials to prepare bombs," seized weapons, and arrested two suspects.
Weapons were also found in other locations in the West Bank during raids. In the town of Ya’bad a suspect was arrested who was found to be carrying weapons, the IDF said.
Suspects arrested in the overnight raids were handed over for further interrogation.
The IDF said there were no injuries to Israeli forces.
Since the beginning of the war 3,050 suspects have been arrested in the West Bank, of whom 1,350 are affiliated with Hamas ...the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,... , the IDF said.
According to the Paleostinian Authority health ministry, some 300 West Bank Paleostinians have been killed in that time.
Based on military estimates, the vast majority of those killed since October 7 were shot during festivities amid arrest raids, and many of them, according to data seen by The Times of Israel, were armed with either a firearm or an bomb.
The IDF is aware of at least three cases of uninvolved Paleostinians being killed by troops in recent months, and a handful of cases of settlers killing Paleostinians, which are still under investigation.
No LAN is an island and any man's death diminishes me.
However, some diminish me a lot less than others. So much so that sometimes you get a negative diminishment which is actually a good thing. Carry on!
According to the IDF, Hezbollah makes extensive use of Khiam for its activity. It says a sixth of the rockets fired by the terror group at northern Israel amid the war were launched from the town.
Two projectiles were also fired earlier 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... at the Mount Dov area, with the IDF saying they hit open areas. Rockets were also fired at Goren and Margaliot.
The IDF says it is shelling the launch sites with artillery.
The IDF says it struck a building used by Hezbollah in the southern Lebanon village of Marwahin.
It adds that fighter jets also struck overnight another site belonging to the terror group in Bani Haiyyan.
[IsraelTimes] The Hezbollah terror group names two members killed in recent Israeli strikes in southern LebIt says Muhammad Jaafar Asili and Hussein Muhammad Shams were killed "on the road to Jerusalem," its term for operatives slain in Israeli strikes.

[NAHARNET] Six civilians and two Hezbollah fighters were among 10 people killed in Israeli air strikes on the central Syrian city of Homs early Wednesday, a war monitor said.
"Ten people, including six civilians and two Hezbollah fighters, were killed in Israeli strikes on a building in the Hamra neighborhood of Homs," the head of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, Rami Abdel Rahman, told AFP.
The strikes completely levelled the building in one of the city's most affluent districts, and also hit other targets linked to Iran-backed groups, Abdel Rahman said.
Three students and a woman were among the dead, two of whom have yet to be identified, Abdel Rahman added.
Two Hezbollah fighters were among the dead, a source close to the Iran-backed Lebanese group confirmed to AFP.
The Syrian defense ministry gave no precise casualty figures. "The Israeli enemy launched air strikes against a number of sites in Homs and its countryside... killing and wounding a number of civilians," it said.
State television aired footage of rescue teams searching the rubble of a collapsed building for survivors.
Syria’s official SANA news agency reported, citing a military source, "At approximately 00:30 at dawn on Wednesday, the Israeli enemy launched an aerial attack with missiles from the direction of northern 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... , targeting a number of points in the city of Homs and its countryside, and the army air defenses intercepted the aggression’s missiles and shot down some of them," the source said in a statement.
Local sources tell Reuters that the attack targeted several Syrian army outposts and an airbase in the Homs area, with a Syrian military intelligence source familiar with the matter saying it targeted the Shayrat airbase.

[RIA] The American base at the Omar oil field in the province of Deir ez-Zor in eastern Syria came under rocket fire and explosions were heard on its territory, a local source told RIA Novosti."
“The American base at the Omar field was fired at by four missiles,” he said, noting that explosions occurred at the base after the shelling.
The source added that after the shelling, American helicopters took off into the skies over Deir ez-Zor.
Since the beginning of the escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, US bases leading the international coalition in Iraq, as well as American troops in Syria, have been regularly attacked, for which armed Shiite groups operating in Iraq claim responsibility.
The US military illegally controls areas in eastern and northeastern Syria in the provinces of Deir ez-Zor, al-Hasakah and Raqqa, where the country's largest oil and gas fields are located. Official Damascus has repeatedly called the presence of American troops on its territory occupation and state piracy for the purpose of blatant oil theft.
