A massive fire erupted in North Fort Worth following an explosion at a power substation on Wednesday evening, prompting voluntary evacuations in the surrounding area.

Emergency crews responded promptly to the incident. No injuries have been reported.

The explosion's cause remains under investigation, with authorities urging residents to avoid the area and adhere to any evacuation advisories.

"The Fort Worth Fire Department Public Information Officer (PIO) will be on scene of the large fire at the electrical substation off Seventeen Lakes Boulevard/Henrietta Creek Road in north Fort Worth," Fort Worth Fire Department said in a statement on social media.

Comment: Catastrophic events with respect to electric grids seem to becoming more common, and not just in the US. A small sample over the last decade. Are there atmospheric changes afoot?

We are rapidly waking up to the massive scam that promotes global warming/climate change as 'doomsday scenario par excellence'.

In this film (see below) is a succinct and powerfully presented series of exposes by scientists and climatologists coming clean about the real truth behind the global warming invention.

Highly recommended viewing for all in need of material that can be shared with others needing to be brought up to speed on this vital issue.

Climate Change/Global Warming is the scare tool being used to completely capsize the world economy, destroy agriculture and act as a supposed critical 'health hazard' to the global population.

Comment: Climate The Movie - Note:
There is a suspicion or perhaps realization, that climate change is an invented scare, driven by self-interest and snobbery, cynically promoted by a parasitic publicly funded establishment, hungry, for ever more money and power. An assault on the freedom and prosperity of the rest of us.

California insurer State Farm canceled policies months before Los Angeles Wildfires

State Farm, one of the biggest insurers in California, canceled hundreds of homeowners' policies last summer in Pacific Palisades — the same area which is now being ravaged by a devastating wildfire.

The move was justified by the company as an attempt to avoid "financial failure" as the frequency and severity of wildfires is growing in the Golden State, especially in at-risk zones. But as the multiple fires currently burning through Southern California threaten to cause devastating losses for residents, many will likely need to rely on their insurers to get back on their feet after the blazes are contained.

"Our number one priority right now is the safety of our customers, agents and employees impacted by the fires and assisting our customers in the midst of this tragedy," a spokesperson for State Farm told Newsweek in response to a request for comment on Wednesday.

'Big Brother' isn't just watching — He's changing how your brain works

Surveillance cameras are seemingly everywhere.
© ID 192949897 Aleksandr KoltyrinSurveillance cameras are seemingly everywhere.
Every time you walk down a city street, electronic eyes are watching. From security systems to traffic cameras, surveillance is ubiquitous in modern society. Yet these cameras might be doing more than just recording our movements: according to a new study that peers into the psychology of surveillance, they could be fundamentally altering how our brains process visual information.

While previous research has shown that surveillance cameras can modify our conscious behavior - making us less likely to steal or more inclined to follow rules - a new study published in Neuroscience of Consciousness suggests that being watched affects something far more fundamental: the unconscious way our brains perceive the world around us.

"We found direct evidence that being conspicuously monitored via CCTV markedly impacts a hardwired and involuntary function of human sensory perception - the ability to consciously detect a face," explains Associate Professor Kiley Seymour, lead author of the study, in a statement.

Celebrating the death of woke and the resurrection of common sense

Years ago when the woke takeover of government and popular media was hitting a crescendo, I often struggled to put the horrifying development into the proper words. That is to say, woke isn't just about DEI or blaming the "patriarchy" - These things are tools that leftists use, but the goal of the movement has always been the destruction of the western world. Woke represented the perverse inversion of every aspect of western society and human morality - To explain such evil requires a concise analysis.

In the movie 'Platoon', directed by Oliver Stone, Charlie Sheen's character is a young soldier cast into the nightmare of the Vietnam War. Regretting his decision to volunteer, he makes a disturbing observation:

"Hell is the impossibility of reason. That's what this place feels like. Hell."

NYC seeing 'staggering' 146.5% spike in felony assaults by repeat offenders

Top cops blame 'broken system'

New York City saw a "staggering" 146.5% jump in felony assault busts for repeat offenders over the past six years, the Big Apple's top cop said — as the crime reached a two-decade high in 2024.

Suspects with at least three arrests on their rap sheet were charged with assault 442 times last year, up from 274 in 2018 — part of a pattern that shows wrongdoers are being cut loose too often, with the NYPD blaming soft-on-crime Albany lawmakers.

"That is what we're up against," Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch told reporters at a briefing Monday. "And we know why. The key driving factor is the revolving door of our criminal justice system, created in large part by legislative changes that took effect in 2020."

Comment:

NYPD boss: Spike in violent crime is because of Democrats' bail reform laws

When societal breakdowns develop, one should look for the influence of George Soros. It's usually not hard to find. The Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund has created an interactive map providing information about Soros-funded DAs across America. Interesting how well it maps to some of the most crime-ridden areas of the US.
Over the past decade, billionaire George Soros has spent at least $50 million* to elect scores of "social justice" prosecutors across the country. These district attorneys, who represent over 70 million people or more than 1 in 5 Americans, often pursue pro-criminal and anti-police policies. This report tracks Soros Prosecutors' funding, affiliations, and actions.

DEI (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) and the CIA

The radical racial ideology has infiltrated the Agency.


Comment: The radical racial ideology was, in all likelihood, invented by the Agency.


Under the best of circumstances, it is difficult for any intelligence service to collect, analyze, and produce actionable, predictive data for a nation's leadership. This task is made considerably harder when lockstep adherence to a fringe political ideology is imposed upon the workforce tasked with carrying out this challenging mission. Unfortunately, this is the situation the Central Intelligence Agency and other agencies of the U.S. Intelligence Community are in: to America's detriment, their leadership enthusiastically imposed Diversity, Equity and Inclusion ideology upon their employees.

To underscore how deeply DEI has metastasized inside the host, in a recent enlightening and publicly available statement, the CIA's Chief DEI officer said there are three criteria by which an intelligence officer can be promoted at America's most important foreign intelligence service. Only one of them is related to mission impact. The others are a rather vague "corporate mindset" — and DEI.

Comment: In addition to the fact that most US intelligence agencies have been largely and politically weaponized against the American public and countries that refuse to bow down to imperial hegemony, it seems that many of these same organizations suffer from the woke affliction that the CIA is experiencing:

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass (D) attended the inauguration of Ghana's President John Dramani Mahama on Tuesday while wildfires ravaged her city, scorching hundreds of acres. The taxpayer-funded delegation was led by Shalanda D. Young, Director of the U.S. Office of Management and Budget.

The wildfires come as California has deployed over 1,400 firefighting personnel to battle the blazes. While officials have yet to determine the extent of the damage in the Pacific Palisades wildfire, approximately 30,000 residents remain under evacuation orders, and at least 13,000 structures are at risk. Nearly 300,000 residents across California were left without power early Wednesday morning. The fires have been worsened by powerful Santa Ana winds, with gusts exceeding 60 mph in some areas.

Meanwhile, emergency responders are facing an alarming shortage of water as reports emerge that several of the city's hydrants are running dry. "The hydrants are down," one firefighter said, according to The Los Angeles Times. "Water supply just dropped," another firefighter added, the paper reported. The Department of Water and Power later confirmed that some hydrants were empty but refrained from providing an official count of how many were affected.

Sir Keir Starmer is as "guilty as anyone" over failures to address grooming gangs, the whistleblower who helped expose the scandal has said.

Maggie Oliver, the former Greater Manchester Police (GMP) detective, who helped uncover widespread abuse in Rochdale, said she had no faith that the Prime Minister wanted to get to the truth and it was time for those responsible to be held fully accountable.

Labour has blocked a national public inquiry into the grooming scandal in which thousands of vulnerable girls were raped and sexually abused by gangs of mainly British Pakistani men.

New York could soon regret legalizing marijuana

New York City ended 2024 with a series of horrific subway incidents. Just days before Christmas, Debrina Kawam, a troubled New Jersey woman, was set on fire and burned to death by Sebastian Zapeta-Calil, an illegal immigrant from Guatemala. Kawam had apparently been sleeping on an F train at the Stillwell Avenue station in Coney Island — a common gathering place for the homeless — when Zapeta-Calil used a lighter to ignite her clothing. Afterward, he reportedly sat on a bench to watch the flames.

Zapeta-Calil was deported from the United States in 2018 but later returned and was living in a Brooklyn homeless shelter. His criminal history appears minimal. According to a shelter roommate, Zapeta-Calil was generally a normal, pleasant person who spoke with "good manners and respect" — unless he was drunk or high on K2, a synthetic cannabinoid. He was said to have a habit of chain-smoking K2, spending $30 daily on the illegal drug.

K2 became a scourge in New York City about a decade ago. This unregulated substance — composed of plant material sprayed with hallucinogenic chemicals — was associated with erratic, sometimes violent, behavior, in some cases reducing users to a "zombie-like" state. A notorious 2018 incident saw 56 people hospitalized after smoking a bad batch.
