US charges three 'Iranian operatives' over RAF Fairford terror plot

made-it-the-fuck-up And it was all plotted by a guy that's been in jail since May.

  • A US charging document states that Al-Hassani, a 35-year-old Iraqi national, directed unnamed individuals to drive to the base in the vans, some of which contained barrels of fuel.

  • It claims that he earlier paid the group to buy metallic objects that could be used as shrapnel, and to disguise the vehicles as being engaged in fuel delivery services. 

  • Al-Saadi, 32, a dual Iranian-Iraqi national already jailed in New York on terrorism charges, allegedly passed coded messages to Al-Hassani and Mohajeri, 48, an Iranian national, to coordinate ahead of the plot.

    Bahraini Citizens Protest Against Possible Mass Execution Orders Issued Against 60 Shia Clerics

    The Bahraini regime is set to sentence 60 Shia clerics, who could be given the death penalty, in a move that has been widely condemned by human rights groups. Manama is ruled by a U.S.-backed Sunni Monarchy, which regularly cracks down upon its Shia majority population.

    Is Oz going to go 3 Laws Compliant?

    The Three Laws, presented to be from the fictional "Handbook of Robotics, 56th Edition, 2058 A.D.", are:

    1 - A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.

    2 - A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.

    3 - A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

    In a callous admission of Washington's strategy of collective punishment, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio openly boasted that the White House intends to starve the Iranian population into submission through an escalating economic siege.

    Speaking at the G7 summit of foreign ministers in Paris in statements reported by international news networks, Rubio dismissed Tehran's diplomatic position, claiming that while "Iran would love a deal," their terms remain "absurd" and "not even serious."

    Exposing the cruel premise underlying the US campaign of financial strangulation, Rubio arrogantly predicted that Tehran's stance would soon collapse under the weight of severe economic blockade.

    "Eventually, you have to eat," the chief US diplomat stated, callously signaling Washington's reliance on weaponized poverty, food insecurity, and hyperinflation to coerce the Islamic Republic into capitulation

    [From GPUS email]

    A grassroots revolution just broke through in Hawaii and it is reshaping what is possible for our movement nationwide.

    Pāʻele Kiakona didn't just run; he shattered the status quo and won Hawaii House District 14! Kiakona was raised in Lahaina taro patches and majored in environmental studies. He became a leader in the Lahaina Strong initiative after the 2023 wildfire, camping on Kāʻanapali Beach for almost six months, taking a stand for long-term housing for displaced fire survivors. Pāʻele Kiakona’s election victory demonstrates that when you show up for your community, your community will show up for you

    🎶Go find yourself another country to be part of 🎵

    And here's to the government of Mississippi In the swamp of their bureaucracy they're always bogging down And criminals are posing as the mayors of the towns And they hope that no one sees the sights and no one hears the sounds And the speeches of the governor are the ravings of a clown

     

    There is a cynical bill / plan going around called Medicare for America which is NOT Medicare for All.

    It is a poison pill designed to offset elderly and sick people to a Public Option (socialize losses) , while keeping the healthy and young in the private system (privatize gains). It is designed to bankrupt the public option, make more profits and destroy the notion of what would truly be a single payer for all system.

    El-Sayed lost Jewish support over Israel, antisemitism, but got over 50% of Jewish votes - report ...

    Jewish voters make up approximately 1.4% of Michigan and typically show substantial support for the Democrats, Politico added. The divisive issue of support for Israel and concerns regarding rising antisemitism have shaken Jewish voters.

    A majority of Jewish early voters still supported El-Sayed, Politico found, but about 25% of those who supported the previous Democratic candidate in 2024 had switched to Mike Rogers over El-Sayed.

    Zio-WimpLo zionist-despair Even though he still had the large majority of Jewish votes, Hard core Zionazis cost him 0.35% of the vote making isntrael the real winner.
