    No Israel will nuke USA and blame Iran.

    Then the US will send another $50 billion to Israel for another bomb to be developed and sit in the cuck chair while more profitable conventional war is waged with Iran with missiles.

    It means what you think it means. Didn't pay the porn guy the porn tab. Ran up a debt that the store looked up and they figured out the lt governor was a frequent flyer.

    This guy is said to frequent physical stores that sell porn magazines, movies, dvds, themed body pillows, whatever. And I guess he wouldn't pay his bills.

    Not even close to the most appalling information to come out about this man. (Big time CW)

    He:

    • Posted a fake raunchy encounter about how he cheated on his wife with his wife's sister. Turns out his wife doesn't even have a sister
    • Many posts about literally being a black nazi
    • Many posts about being okay with slavery
    • One post speculating that he would be the one to own some slaves if slavery was ever brought back.
    • Known to be a gooner before these new allegations dropped. Would go to a porn shop in Greensboro and goon with a pizza in the back of the store.
    • Said porn store mentioned Robinson had gone into "porn debt"
    • Is a chaser. Naturally his politics are anti-trans.

    I'm probably missing some things too.

    Thing is, you don't know who has got their hands on your phone/device before you buy it. Low or high tech.

    In the case of your personal smart phone you might buy your phone from a dealer that sells to a variety of people which makes an attack like this on you very unlikely. Furthermore you may take your phone to a repair shop and there they will be able to find any signs of tampering. You have more to worry about from Five Eyes Spyware which is on every device and social media site.

    Hezbollah's pager was bought from one point of sale - a single point of failure. Furthermore the reliability and cheapness of these devices makes it less necessary to repair them and find signs of tampering.

    Hungarian shell company behind exploding pagers used by Israel in Lebanon terror attack - The Cradle

    Someone mentioned Motorola as a supplier of these types of pagers, but these AR-924 models are made by this exact company.

    The AR-924 pagers used by Israel in a terror attack that left thousands of casualties in Lebanon on 17 September were manufactured by BAC Consulting KFT, a shell company based in the Hungarian capital of Budapest, according to a statement released by Gold Apollo, a Taiwanese firm that authorized the use of its brand on the pagers.

    “According to the cooperation agreement, we authorize BAC to use our brand trademark for product sales in designated regions, but the design and manufacturing of the products are solely the responsibility of BAC,” the statement read.

    Gold Apollo’s chair, Hsu Ching-Kuang, told journalists Wednesday that his firm inked the licensing agreement with BAC three years ago.

    “The product was not ours. It was only that it had our brand on it,” the Taiwanese businessman told reporters. “We are a responsible company. This is very embarrassing.”

    No kidding, bud.

    BAC Consulting is registered with Cristiana Rosaria Bársony-Arcidiacono, listed as its owner and sole employee on the company website.

    among-drip

    The website, which was blocked behind a username and password on Wednesday morning, also claims she has served on the board of directors of the Earth Child Institute. However, the sustainability group does not list Bársony-Arcidiacono among its board members.

    Good post, comrade. Sounds to me like the ability to maneuver the missile is desirable for getting around dome defenses anyways, and it's hard to get capability to both maneuver and maintain hypersonic speeds. Not to say that a Zircon missile would be useless to the Houthis, I mean speed has to make up for that somehow, right?

    Idk it could be about Israel not wanting to contend with the fact that it can't answer this strike tit-for-tat. Or they want to forget about this story already because it's invade Lebanon time. Or Israel wants to lobby for better iron dome missles.

    MEE - Florida lawmaker sparks outrage for celebrating Turkish-American activist's killing in West Bank

    Randy Fine, the Republican state representative for Florida, is facing a wave of anger and accusations of Islamophobia after celebrating the death of Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, a 26-year-old Turkish-American activist who was fatally shot by the Israeli military in the occupied West Bank.

    "Throw rocks, get shot. One less #MuslimTerrorist. #FireAway," Fine wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, in response to a post announcing Eygi's killing last weekend.

    This is a Florida State Representative and a white one attacking Palestinians at that, so I expect nothing to happen to him.

    MEE - Houthi 'hypersonic' missile attack on Israel: What we know so far

    Yemen’s Houthis on Sunday claimed a ballistic missile attack that hit the centre of Israel.

    The attack by the long-range missile sparked a fire but did not cause any direct casualties, according to the Israeli army.

    The Houthis, who control most of Yemen and the capital Sanaa, said the missile was a hypersonic one. The Israeli military denied it was hypersonic.

    ...

    It is not clear how the Houthis may have developed or acquired the missiles.

    Iran’s president Masoud Pezeshkian on Monday said his country had not sent hypersonic missiles to the Yemeni group.

    “We don't have such missiles to provide to Yemen," Pezeshkian said in a televised speech. But Iran last year showcased what it described as the country’s first Iranian-made hypersonic ballistic missile named "Fattah".

    ...

    Hamas welcomed Sunday’s attack, and said it considered it a “natural response to the Zionist entity’s aggression against our Palestinian people”. It added that Israel “will not enjoy security” until it ends the war on Gaza.

    Al Jazeera - Israeli military report on captives puts pressure on Netanyahu

    Their analysis on the recent rift between Gallant and Netanyahu is saying that the two have different ideas on what to do with the military to free the hostages. Netanyahu seems to want another big hostage freeing event, like on June 8 when they killed at least 274 Palestinians and injured more than 400 to get 4 hostages. Gallant might be having different ideas, especially regarding the upcoming invasion of Lebanon.

    Maybe something funny happens prigo-pog but more likely this is all a show to get out of having to actually invade Lebanon.

    AP News - Trinidad and Tobago reckons with colonialism in a debate on statues, signs and monuments of its past

    So Trinidad and Tobago held an open podium style town hall on what to do with remaining colonialist/imperialist statues, symbols, etc. Things like a Christopher Columbus status and the coat-of-arms. It took 62 years post independence to make it happen but I guess it's happening now? Why not earlier is what I want to know.

    Some suggested a prominent Columbus statue be placed in a museum. Others requested it be destroyed and that people be allowed to stomp on the dusty remains. One man encouraged officials to round up statues of colonial figures and create a “square of the infamous.”

    anti-italian-discrimination

    The public hearing was held just a week after the government announced it would redraw the nation’s coat of arms to remove Christopher Columbus’ three famous ships — the Pinta, the Niña and the Santa María – and replace it with the steelpan, a popular percussion instrument that originated in the Caribbean nation.

    Hell yeah now we're talking.

    Others pushed for further changes on Wednesday night.

    “What the hell is the queen still doing on top of the coat of arms? Please let us put her to rest,” said Eric Lewis, who identifies as a member of the First Peoples, also known as Amerindians.

    Looking at all the countries with the union jack on there for no reason other than they were colonized once by the brits. I think only Hawaii gets a pass since it's there to snub the USA. Put it to rest! peppino-angry

    “We stumbling and tripping over heroes,” he said. “To have produced so much genius, and that lineage is nowhere present in the landscape.”

    Among the suggestions of people to honor was Nobel Prize-winning author V.S. Naipaul; Cyril Lionel Robert James, a historian and journalist; and Kwame Ture, who helped spearhead the Black Power movement in the U.S. Others suggested that prominent Amerindians and more local women be honored, including Patricia Bishop, an educator and musician and Beryl McBurnie, a teacher credited with promoting and saving Caribbean dance.

    >Melanie Ward, CEO of the Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) charity, faces major backlash from volunteers and workers after deciding to run as a Labour Party candidate in Scotland. Some 2,250 healthcare workers, medical volunteers, supporters, and donors signed a letter expressing concern. >On June 5, a protest letter was filed by workers and volunteers at MAP, expressing their dismay to the board over Ward’s candidacy with the UK Labour Party. To run for the position of MP in Scotland’s Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath constituency, Ward has taken a leave of absence but has not stepped down from her position. >Despite Ward’s pledge to make real progress for the Palestinian people if elected to Parliament, MAP is currently without an acting CEO during a healthcare collapse in Gaza. Some fear her actions could jeopardize the aid organization’s efforts on the ground, leading to threats of referring MAP to the Charity Commission. To make matters worse, Ward has a history of pro-Israel sentiment that many fear is compromising the effort to aid Palestinians: >Ward has a history of affiliations with pro-Israel lobby groups, starting with her first trip to Palestine, organized by the Israeli Embassy-funded Union of Jewish Students (UJS). She blogged about meeting Israeli politicians and visiting settlements but shifted her perspective after a second visit to the West Bank. However, her relationship with UJS continued, including participating in a 2017 UJS panel called “Bridges Not Boycotts,” opposing boycotts of Israel. >In 2017, Ward publicly congratulated Israel lobbyist Danny Stone on receiving a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) award for his work combating antisemitism, which she praised as “excellent.” >Ward also supported the anti-Semitism “witch hunt” during Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership, which purged much of Labour’s pro-Palestinian base, including many Jewish anti-Zionists. She tweeted, “Farewell to Jeremy Corbyn, who really was a truly terrible Labour Party Leader. He will be missed not one little bit by those of us who want to see Labour in government again.” >In 2016, she signed a letter calling for Corbyn’s resignation, shared an article urging the public not to vote for him and tweeted the former Labour leader in 2015, “Corbyn unable to think of situation where he’d commit Forces to military action. Should think a bit harder if he wants to be PM,” in response to his anti-war stance. I've always been worried about the leadership behind some of these charities since they take in a ton of money these days and they seem to be based in Western countries. Now my worries have been justified.

    Newton teachers have won through their "illegal" strike almost everything they bargained for. 4 yr contract • Significantly increased salaries for all aides -with some increases totaling 50% • Adjustments to salaries for increased cost of living • Additional social workers at the elementary level • Additional staff to reduce class sizes at the high school level • Expanded parental leave (60 days, 45 paid) • Guaranteed student admittance for non-resident school system staff • Agreed-upon procedures for educators on directed growth plans • Adjustments to funding of insurance benefits and healthcare structure The union will pay the fines in full, all $600k + of them. The win does come after 11 days of missed school and the Governor threatening binding arbitration. I wonder if she will try to get rid of the law making teacher strikes illegal after this. Big fat L for kulak NIMBYs who earlier voted to keep taxes low and not raise pay for the teachers. They were caught pulling the ladder from under them. Tough.
