Two churches and a synagogue have come under attack in the southern Russian region of Dagestan, local police said in a statement on Sunday. Unidentified assailants opened fire on the buildings with automatic firearms before fleeing the scene, according to a statement published on Telegram.

At least one officer was killed in the incident, the police stated, adding that the authorities are still trying to obtain more information on the casualties.

The suspects drove away in a white Volkswagen Polo, the police said, adding that they are currently searching for the vehicle.

Comment: One is reminded of the strange incident of Oct 2023, also in Dagestan, whereby 'external enemies' were accused of stoking up locals to protest an arriving Israeli passenger plane.

It's likely that the same 'external enemies' at work that day, were also behind today's attack. And reason suggests that it's the same groups responsible for the Crocus mall massacre, which an investigation, as well as various officials, later revealed to be Ukraine, the US, and UK.

Note also that just a week or so ago there was another incident involving terrorists on Russian territory: Russian forces storm detention centre to rescue staff held hostage, inmates were members of IS terror cells

Taken together, it seems the desperate and diabolical establishment in the West is intent on significantly escalating its hybrid war, as well as its overt provocations. Which is saying something, because sabotage on Russian soil has been an almost weekly occurrence these past few years.

However, by their warped logic it makes sense they'd feel compelled to do so, because their defeat in Ukraine is looming. More so after they, predictably, rejected Russia's generous peace proposal. And which has left Moscow with little option to but to expedite the completion of its SMO.

Below is some more footage from the scene, however note the accounts anti-Russia/anti-multipolar world bias:

How they'll make us eat ze bugs

Well, now we know how they are going to get us to eat ze bugs - and (they hope) take the drugs. They are going to use the excuse of "containing" the bird flu to kill the birds - chickens - and cattle, too. In this way, they'll have succeeded in reducing the "emissions" of carbon dioxide emanating from the animals we eat - without having to convince us to stop eating meat.

There just won't be any to eat.

Not for us, that is. The "elite" - as the agglutinators of power who like to use it to control others like to think of themselves - will have all they can eat. Just the same as they have and will continue to have private jets and 10,000 square-foot homes with thousands-of-gallons of liquid hydrocarbon fuels on hand to power their homes and keep their meat cool in the Viking 'fridges they've got that most of us can't afford - and cook their meat on gas ranges they've decided we're not going to be allowed to have.

Evil can be ingenious. Or at least, devilishly clever. It's an important distinction. The ingenious invent things that change things for the better; Nikola Tesla is an example of an ingenious man. Elon Musk is an example of a clever man. He knows how to game the system - using Tesla's name. Tesla understood alternating current and developed practical uses for it it that included literally lighting up the world.

The next clever thing is the same old thing - again. Another "pandemic" - only this time one that requires killing-off poultry flocks and cattle herds rather than staying six feet apart and wearing "masks" to "stop the spread" - though no doubt those things will be back again, too. They are necessary props for the success of the theater. There will be "testing" - so as to generate "cases" - which will be used to impose "masking" - all the rest of it, again.

Just in time for the almost-here-selection, again.

Oakland's embattled Mayor Sheng Thao has had her home raided by the FBI, local media have reported.

The Democrat lawmaker's home on Maiden Lane was raided around 5:30 am PT Thursday, CBS San Francisco reports.

It is unclear why the property was raided, but according to public records, it appears Thao rents the home.

'The FBI is conducting court authorized law enforcement activity on Maiden Lane. We are unable to provide additional information at this time,' the agency said on Thursday morning.

A neighbor told ABC7 News that she woke up to authorities banging on her door around 6 am. According to a law enforcement source, this raid is just one of four locations in Oakland that will be searched by the FBI.

Newly named Washington Post editor Robert Winnett will not be taking over the newsroom amid leadership turmoil at the Jeff Bezos-owned news organization.

The Post's CEO and publisher, Will Lewis, announced Winnett's decision to remain in England in a note to staff on Friday morning.

'It is with regret that I share with you that Robert Winnett has withdrawn from the position of Editor at The Washington Post,' the embattled publisher told staff, as reported by CNN.

Winnett will stay as deputy editor of the Telegraph in London.

The search for a new editor will begin immediately, Lewis told the staff.

Kremlin: US decision to ban Kaspersky software designed to stifle competition

The Kremlin said on Friday that a U.S. decision to ban sales of Kaspersky's software was a typical move by Washington to stifle foreign competition with American products.

The Biden administration on Thursday said it would ban the sale of antivirus software made by Russia's Kaspersky Lab in the United States, citing what it said was the Kremlin's influence over the company which poses a significant security risk.

Comment: The US has been waging war on Kaspersky for quite a while. It can't stand that a Russian product is superior to anything the US produces, or that it uncovers the NSA's cyber-meddling at an uncomfortable rate.

Best of the Web: Blackouts hit Montenegro, Bosnia, Albania, most of Croatia's coast, causes of outages remains unclear

Croatia
© Ivo Cagalj/PIXSELL/Sipa/AP CNNA major failure of the Transmission System caused a power outage in numerous towns in Croatia on June 21, 2024.
A major power outage hit Montenegro, Bosnia, Albania and most of Croatia's coast on Friday, disrupting businesses, shutting down traffic lights and leaving people sweltering without air conditioning in the middle of a heatwave.

Montenegro's energy minister said the shutdown was caused by a sudden increase in power consumption brought on by high temperatures, and by the heat itself overloading systems. Power distribution is linked across the Balkans for transfers and trading.

"This was just waiting to happen in this heat," Gentiana, a 24-year-old student in Montenegro's capital Podgorica, told Reuters. Temperatures hit 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) across the southeastern European region.


Comment: This may have been a heatwave - although considering the unreliable temperature data, even that's up for debate - however, note that there's no mention of temperature records being broken, so this heat doesn't appear to be particularly unusual.


Comment: Even taking into account the theories given by the authorities, all things considered - in particular the suspect, blackouts in New Zealand, and Ecuador, which happened just a day prior - it seems more likely that this was more than just infrastructure negligence, the fruits of the nefarious green agenda, and/or 'global boiling'.

Perhaps the investigation into the 'fire' and whatever caused the 'breakdown' of the interconnector may shed some more light on the causes: Ecuador hit by nationwide blackout; New Zealand's north suffers power outage after pylon mysteriously 'falls over'

Explosion in Montenegro kills 2, thought to be gang related; father arrested after explosion in Croatia kills his 9-year-old

Montenegro
FILE:
An explosion in central Montenegro's historical capital, Cetnje, on Thursday killed two people and seriously injured three others, police said.

Police sealed off the area around the Cetinje town's sports hall. They launched an investigation to find the type and cause of the explosion.

The state RTCG television said it was a bomb, and suggested the blast was linked to the Balkan nation's criminal gangs involved in drug smuggling. The report said, "some of the victims recently got out of prison."

Montenegro is a small Adriatic Sea nation of about 620,000 people. It is a NATO member state and a candidate for European Union membership. The country has been told it must tackle rampant organized crime and corruption to join the EU.

Comment: These incidents don't appear to be related, except for the fact that they occurred within about 24 hours of each other. ABC reports:
Czech man arrested in Croatia after explosion kills his 9-year-old child

A Czech man has been detained in Croatia for allegedly allowing his 9-year-old child to take an explosive device from a military zone which later killed the child, Croatian police said on Friday.

The 46-year-old man on Wednesday entered a restricted military training ground in central Croatia without authorization where he allowed his child to pick up the explosive device and bring it back to the family car, said a police statement.

When the car later broke down along the way, the child took out the explosive device which then exploded, killing the child and wounding three people, the statement added. It was not immediately clear what kind of device the child had found.

Police did not reveal the sex of the child, though some reports said it was a boy.

The father is facing charges of "grave criminal acts against public safety" in connection with "endangering lives and property by a dangerous act or device," police said.

Croatia, with its Adriatic Sea coastline, is a favorite tourist destination that is packed with visitors from the Czech Republic and other European countries during the summer season. The explosion happened on Thursday in an area close to the central coastal town of Zadar.

The kibbutzniks blocking humanitarian aid to Gaza

Members of the “Kaplan Force”
© Abir Sultan/EFE via ZUMA Press/APA ImagesMembers of the “Kaplan Force” at an anti-government protest in Tel Aviv, June 24, 2023. Members of the Kaplan force have since been blocking humanitarian aid to Gaza during the ongoing genocide.
Complicity in genocide is not confined to the Israeli right. Members of the liberal organization that spearheaded the anti-Netanyahu protests last year are now blocking humanitarian aid to Gaza.

The issue of Israelis physically blocking humanitarian aid to Gaza has been reported in the mainstream media over the past few months. In March, CNN's Clarissa Ward reported on Israeli right-wing activists seeking to block the crossings into Gaza where humanitarian aid was being transported in with their bodies. Ward pushed back on the demonstrators' claims that the rice bags were being filled with bullets by explaining that Gazans were dying of starvation, to no avail.

On Friday, the Biden administration issued a selective sanctioning of the primary organization blocking the aid "Tzav 9" — meaning "Order 9," a name alluding to the Israel military reserve call-up order.

The woke movement is actually corporate enslavement - The culture war is a fight to stop it

panopticon
I was recently watching a video by some of my favorite movie commentators in which they were lamenting the apparent death of the movie theater business. They cited a long list of recent blockbuster bombs with some confusion as to why so many films were failing. In particular, they had predicted the film 'Furiosa' (a feminist bait and switch movie designed to replace the more popular male Mad Max character) would do relatively well. Yet, the movie bit the dust in epic fashion. They were bewildered as to why this occurred.

They posited numerous social and economic theories trying to explain why so many big budget bonanzas were losing money. They of course suggested that the covid event might have pushed people to adjust to streaming services as the better option. They noted that theaters can be more frustrating because of loud customers. They tried to apply some economic theories to the situation (these theories were overly simplistic and painful, but these guys aren't economists so I gave them a pass).

However, when the concept of the culture war was briefly broached, they dismissed it immediately.

Ecuador hit by nationwide blackout; New Zealand's north suffers power outage after pylon mysteriously 'falls over'

ecuador blackout
Ecuador was hit by a nationwide blackout on Wednesday, a senior government minister said, leaving some 18 million people in the dark for several hours.

The subway system in the capital, Quito, ground to a halt and traffic lights stopped working around mid-afternoon local time on Wednesday.

Shortly after the power was restored, Public Works Minister Roberto Luque blamed the outage on a lack of investment in electrical systems.

Writing on X, he said it was "just more proof of the energy crisis we're dealing with".

"For years we have stopped investing in these systems and today we are experiencing the consequences," he added.

Much of New Zealand's far north is without power after a transmission tower fell over

Much of the northernmost part of New Zealand is without power after a transmission tower toppled over in a rural area on Thursday, with no indication when power will be fully restored to the area.

The 220-kV tower fell "unexpectedly" in a field, a spokesperson for the national grid operator, Transpower, said in a statement. It was not clear why the tower fell over.

Much of the northernmost part of New Zealand is without power after a transmission tower toppled over in a rural area on Thursday, with no firm indication for when it will be restored.
The tower carried two separate high-capacity circuits that supplied most of the power to the remote Northland region, which has a population of 195,000. Officials suggested 180,000 people were without power, Radio New Zealand reported.

Power had been restored to some through the use of a lower-capacity network, but most of the region's homes and businesses — more than 70,000 — were still without electricity hours after the outage, the two power companies servicing Northland told The Associated Press.

The region's emergency management agency advised residents to conserve water and New Zealand police urged people not to travel by road unless necessary.

The outage occurred just over a year after New Zealand's ageing power grid experienced its worst-ever damage during a deadly cyclone in February 2023, which battered Northland, cutting power to the region and devastating farmland. Local politicians in the area have long sought more government funding for its crumbling infrastructure.
Whilst it's true infrastructure in a great many places across the planet has been neglected in recent years, particularly in the West, there's also evidence that some of these blackouts - as well as explosions, fires, and system failures - which appear to be on the rise in recent years, are also due to sabotage; it remains to be seen whether we will find out which is applicable in these most recent incidents.

The following is just a small selection of incidents that have occurred in just the last 6 months or so:
