What is a drone factory? It makes flying penguins, of course.
The Baltic Times reports that a sudden massive fire at a Latvian airport already is considered a criminal act.
The police will investigate the fire, LETA learned from the Interior Ministry. A criminal procedure has been started.
Riga airport representative Ilze Salna told LETA that one of the airport’s five firefighter brigades was engaged in the extinguishing works – it has the only such firefighting car with a container carrying 35 tons of water.
Edge Autonomy, a California company, runs the factory that serves many countries around the world.
Our gimbal systems have integrated software for artillery fire correction to help support ground missions. We ensure our customers that ordnance arrives on target. […] Our aircraft are among the quietest and with the longest endurance in their category – enabling mission commanders the ability to identify and track targets to help enable mission success.
The fact that it serves Ukraine, and that the Latvian government just denounced Russia for evading sanctions, all perhaps comes to mind for investigators.
There are limits to the first and second Amendments in America, apparently.
A plot right out of the 1916 America First playbook (e.g. Preparedness Day bombing of SF) has been foiled by FBI arrests.
Here are some of the many important details to this new story, as documented by Heavy.
According to the criminal complaint, Russell was using the name “Homunculus” on an encrypted communication app in June 2022 and began talking with an FBI informant. He “encouraged” the informant “to attack electrical substations,” and said sniper attacks could cause a “cascading failure,” the FBI said. He also encouraged the informant to “read a white supremacist publication that provided instructions to attack critical infrastructure”…
Encryption doesn’t do much good to hide speech from the FBI if you’re using it to speak with the FBI.
German 1916 6-part epic film series follows the exploits of the soulless supervillain Homunculus, a creature created by science, as he wows to find love or destroy humanity. Robert Reinert’s multi-layered script draws on Frankenstein and Faust, as well as Freud, Nietzsche and Marx to create both a treatise on the human condition as well as a comment on WWI. …in repeated fashion Homunculus finds a woman whom he tries to love, but ends up driving her to kill herself, kills her family or is rejected and hunted…
That’s another America First 1916 reference.
Nazism really is rooted in the perverse hateful visions of men like Woodrow Wilson and Henry Ford. Hitler just followed their lead, which few Americans seem ready to admit.
I’m not surprised these white supremacists think their absolute right to own guns today translates directly into license to destroy critical infrastructure like it’s 1916 or the Red Summer again.
Homunculus also stated that the ‘goal is for when most people are using max electricity’ and that ‘follow on [attacks] could lead to cascading failure costing billions of dollars.’
Max suffering? Guns are usually treated by white supremacists as their easiest force multiplier for domestic terrorism, right behind lighting fires. It’s the old Missouri Quantrill mindset, which did in fact start the Civil War. Heavy:
Clendaniel, using the name Nythra88 on an app, began talking to the same informant in January 2023, the FBI said in the criminal complaint, after Russell told the informant to work with her.
User name of 88? That’s plain Nazi signaling. Might as well name yourself Hitler.
She also used the account “kali1889”, named for Hitler’s birth year. Not subtle. It’s like someone wants to flaunt their intent to commit crimes.
Nythra?
Now that’s different. Nythra signals modern seditious conspirator in an American militant “accelerationist” hate cult trying to start race war.
…user Nythra claimed to attended Hate Camps in Death Valley and Washington State. Nythra also participated in a conversation that discussed raping and beheading a woman. The court also heard a portion of the phone call in which he tells his mother that the Garza County deputies, whom he referred to as pigs, were lucky that they caught him off guard or he would have shot them.
White supremacists want to target and control energy. They lust for power. This particular cult even named itself after nuclear energy.
Prosecutors wrote, “The fact that Russell lied about going to see his father and was found in Key Largo (at a restaurant and not his final destination), with long rifles and ammunition that he purchased less than 24 hours after being interviewed by the FBI, camouflage gear, and a skull mask, shows the character of someone prepared to follow-through with his violent ideology when called to arms.”
Serial liars, all of them.
Although Elon Musk tends to pretend that being rich somehow makes his lies different. Call it instead openly opposing science and safety regulation to create a state of permanent improvisation — as if nobody reads history.
Consider how a petty and jealous CEO says his workers must be loyal only to him and sacrifice all their family, sleep, feelings.
I wonder what would have happened in this case if mental health services had been more easily available than guns.
Everyone probably knows what happens if you don’t quarantine tuberculosis, which is why a long time ago (way back in 1802 or even 1777, when you look at real American history) laws were written to detain it.
…over the past year, the health department has repeatedly sought and been granted court orders compelling the woman to isolate and get treated for tuberculosis. According to the Tribune, legal petitions from the department said the patient had not abided by previous orders, and had at one point started but discontinued medication. […] Under Washington state law, public health officials have the legal authority to seek a court order when a person’s refusal to take medication poses a threat to the public. Tuberculosis can rise to that level because it can be deadly if left untreated, and infectious people risk spreading the disease further. The bacteria that causes tuberculosis can spread through the air when a person with an active case coughs, sneezes or speaks.
