This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Flora Swain.Today is the 5th of May and here are the headlines.Prime Minister Narendra Modi met with Defence Secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh on Monday, following a briefing by Indian Air Force chief Air Chief Marshal A P Singh on India's military preparedness after the deadly Pahalgam terror attack on April 22. The meeting focused on potential retaliatory measures against Pakistan. Additionally, the UN Security Council will hold a closed-door meeting regarding the escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, with Pakistan calling for an emergency session. India has already taken actions, including suspending the Indus Waters Treaty and downgrading diplomatic ties.Pakistani troops engaged in unprovoked firing across eight forward sectors along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir on Monday, violating ceasefire agreements. This marks the 11th consecutive night of such violations, following the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam on April 22. The unprovoked firing has been widespread, with violations now affecting multiple sectors along the LoC, a shift from past occurrences, which typically focused on southern Pir Panjal. India retaliated to protect its borders and maintain peace in the region amidst rising tensions with Pakistan.Security forces in Jammu and Kashmir discovered a militant hideout in the border district of Poonch on Monday. During a search operation in the Surankote forest area, the Army and Jammu and Kashmir Police's Special Operations Group recovered five improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and two wireless sets. The search followed intelligence reports. The IEDs, weighing between 0.5 kg and 5 kg, were destroyed in a controlled explosion at the site. The operation underscores ongoing efforts to neutralize militant threats in the region, especially amid rising tensions with Pakistan.Russian President Vladimir Putin condemned the Pahalgam terror attack during a phone conversation with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday. He expressed deep condolences for the victims and reiterated Russia's full support for India's fight against terrorism. Putin emphasized that the perpetrators and their supporters must be brought to justice. The leaders also reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening the India-Russia Special and Privileged Strategic Partnership. Additionally, Modi extended greetings to Putin on Russia's 80th Victory Day anniversary, highlighting the longstanding diplomatic ties between the two nations.That's all for today. This was the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express.

When I think back to times and places that were difficult, they usually seem not as bad as when I was there. There is a reason for this, and it's called Fading Affect Bias. But first, a memory. We were deployed in Baghdad and in the midst of it. 18-hour days of grind. I'd beat the sun up and stumble over to the secure room we set up to access highly classified material. The coffee wasn't great, but if Folgers was good enough for grandad, it was good enough for me. We'd push pixels, people, and ourselves on that deployment. It was hard. I also knew I was pushing myself pretty hard. Too hard, in hindsight. Then one day, a buddy on the team looked at me and said, “Hey, I gotta tell you, you have to stop being so negative.”He was a friend, and I love him for having the courage to snap me back to reality. There was a lot wrong, like the hole in the roof from a rocket and the persecution happening all around us. And the Army, which comes with lots to criticize - bureaucracy, red tape, bad food, low pay, IEDs, and laziness. Some of that, particularly the last one, would be a reason to get out several years later. Almost every day, I miss it. I miss the dust in your nose, the adrenaline at the gate, and unknown corners - real and metaphorical. I miss the new cultures, the lessons, and the flatbread with all the fixings from a little window in Sulamaniyah. I miss the places few have been and the wide-eyed “thank you” when you change someone's life with something the Department of Defense marked for the rubbage bin. Not to mention fierce friendship, the ‘embrace the suck' attitude, and the ‘just don't quit' mantras. I've been curious why I remember it more fondly than when I was there. It turns out there is a psychological reason, and it's called Fading Affect Bias (FAB). With Fading Affect Bias, negative emotions associated with an event tend to fade faster than positive ones. This fading can start as soon as the same day. When something terrible happens, or I make a mistake, I drag it around for a while. Over time, it fades. It won't all fade and often comes back when we don't want it. At night lying there in the dark, a smell that instantly transports you or any of 1,000 other triggers. “Dude, stop”Fifteen years later, I remember vividly that moment riding in that grey SUV with the gold stripe down the side. My buddy looked over at me and said, “Dude, stop.”What I was complaining about didn't matter. Were there frustrating things? Yes. Did I think command could do more? Yes. Did I think some guys weren't pulling their weight? Unequivocally. Rarely does complaining make it better. By complaining, we are complicit. Not only do I shake my head at the things that frustrated me due to their pettiness, but frankly, I'm embarrassed. I'm in the middle of a book by one of my favorite writers, and he's sharing tales of WWI. The trenches, the starvation, and wave after wave of men walking into machine gun fire. Now there's a reason to complain. There I was with a chow hall, a mostly hot shower, and coffee each morning. Yet, I dared to complain. People were barely making it a few hundred meters away, and I had the US Government's full force to ensure I had what I needed. And my family was at home, safe. Yet, I complained. Note to SelfWe will lose things, friends, and dreams. Complaining rarely makes it better. Often, it makes it worse. Usually, there are worse things happening to better people. When you find yourself starting to see all that is wrong, stop and flip it over. There's likely more good than your lens is letting you see. Clean it. I'm grateful for the fade, but more importantly, I'm grateful for friends that call me out. I'm also grateful that it doesn't all fade. There are too many lessons and moments I don't want to lose, including this one. Take care, friends. This is a public episode.

"When 9/11 happened, I was 11 years old..." Jason Essazay tells of growing up in Kabul under the oppression of the Taliban and dreaming of the day when he could dish out some payback. In his early teenage years, he discovered Tom Clancy novels donated by American soldiers and lending groups. Fueled by his hatred for the Taliban and terrorists and his love of Tom Clancyesque adventure, Jason lied about his age in order to be an interpreter assisting the U.S. Military. Through creative means, he's able to get hired and roll out on missions. Jason, an armed interpreter, tells of volunteering for mission after mission resulting in hundreds or firefights and surrounding explosions. After his years of war, he makes it to America. Starting all over, he works several jobs chiseling away at his goals in this new land, this country he has learned so much about through Tom Clancy plots and stories from American soldiers. While living in America, Jason once again volunteered and joined the USMC as well as started his own company, MEYER DEFENSE. Oh, he also coordinated the overseas efforts to extract his brother (a fellow interpreter) and family during the fall of Kabul. (Episode #65 Kabul extraction...Worth Parker)

There were two flashes of white light at my feet, like quick fireworks, and then everything went black.  My brain knew that my right leg was beyond repair.  -Roseann Sdoia Materia April 15, 2013: That's the day the bombs went off at the Boston Marathon finish line.  This is the story of an innocent bystander who lost her right leg when the second bomb went off in front of the Forum Restaurant. Roseann Sdoia Materia's life would be saved that day by three people who stepped into the smoke and mayhem to save her life:  college student Shores Salter, Boston police officer Shana Cottone, and Boston firefighter Mike Matteria risked their lives to help her, and their story is told in Roseann's memoir:  Perfect Strangers:  Friendship, Strength and Recovery After Boston's Worst Day.  Originally released as part of this series in 2018, the interview brings the listener into the events of that day, when brothers Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev unleashed a terror attack using homemade pressure cooker bombs planted near the Boston Marathon finish line, killing three people and injuring 264.  Days later, the brothers would also kill MIT police officer Sean Collier. Treated by trauma surgeon Daniel King, MD at Mass General, Roseann explains how fortunate she was to have a doctor who had experienced treating soldiers wounded by IEDs during his deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan.  Beyond the details of what happened on that fateful day, Roseann's story is a profile in courage as she struggled to accept the loss of her leg and a new reality as an amputee.  Says Roseann, “Courage is getting up every day and facing the world. Some days you have it and some days, you don't. “  The founder of robostrong.com, she is an in-demand public speaker, an advocate for amputees everywhere, and a supporter of the many charities that have been born out of the bombings.  The friendships Roseann forged with those who rescued her remain strong. In fact, Roseann married firefighter Mike Materia!  For 23 minutes of strength, courage, community, and the resiliency of the human spirit, just hit that download button.  #bostonmarathonbombings #bostonmarathon #bostonstrong #massgeneralhospital#spauldingrehab 

Subscriber-only episodeSend us a textWelcome back to another episode where Peaches, Aaron, and a walking EOD war story—Charles Howell—drag you down memory lane... kicking and screaming. From nearly tattooing a crab on his chest before basic training to blowing up more IEDs than most people blow up relationships, Charles spills the entire chaotic tea of his two-decade detonation tour.We talk about how EODs were treated like the “red-headed stepchildren of CE,” the comedic incompetence of leadership during actual combat deployments, and the golden age of malicious compliance (spoiler: his commander got too many phone calls). Oh—and apparently, if you failed your first test at the schoolhouse? Congrats, there's a selfie of you somewhere making rounds at the EOD bar circuit.This episode has everything:A Marine getting trolled into oblivion over a lost fuseXbox Kinect motion sensors used to kill helicoptersPJ and EOD instructors emotionally scarring students (who definitely still remember)Sunlight on Peaches' nose ruining the episode's aestheticIf you're one of those parents asking questions for your kid at the recruiter's office—buckle up. Charles has thoughts. And no, you're not going to Deloitte, Karen. You're joining the military. Maybe.

//The Wire//2300Z April 3, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: VBIED ATTACK FAILS IN AMSTERDAM. WHITE HOUSE ANNOUNCES GLOBAL RECIPROCAL TARIFF PLAN. TENSIONS IN MIDDLE EAST CONTINUE.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Europe: This morning a suspected terrorist attempted to detonate a Vehicle-Borne Improvised Explosive Device (VBIED) in Amsterdam. The would-be attacker parked his vehicle centrally in Dam Square, near a group of people, before attempting to detonate the device. This attempt failed, and immolated the driver of the vehicle. Footage of the incident indicates the driver did survive his failed detonation, however his condition is unknown.AC: Video footage of the incident very strongly indicates this was a deliberate terror attack that failed. The driver of the vehicle chose the same square in which 5x people were stabbed by a terrorist a week ago. When he attempted to detonate the device, his detonator failed and burned rather than exploding, as is an extremely common occurrence among crudely constructed IEDs.-HomeFront-Washington D.C. - The White House unveiled their new global tariff plan, which has since resulted in much consternation on the international stage. The tariff plan is allegedly reciprocal, with the US planning to tax other nations the same as they tax the United States. While the mathematical process to determine each figure is more complicated than that, this is the general idea. However, in most cases the tariff's aren't reciprocal, with the United States still not taxing some nations at the level that they themselves tax the United States. The White House released several graphical charts indicating what nations will be taxed at which rate, leading most world leaders to make various statements of condemnation regarding the tariffs that affect them.Virginia: The USS IWO JIMA (LHD-7) departed port Norfolk yesterday evening, following the conclusion of a large exercise last week.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: It is unknown if a Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) is embarked on the Iwo Jima, or if this is more of a standard positioning movement to the shipyard for refit after her recent exercise. The Iwo Jima should be in her Advanced Phase training for deployment right now, but the timetables for various certifications could have been accelerated following the sharp increase in wartime preparations throughout the Middle East.Regarding the trade tariffs, the biggest international impacts will be felt by nations such as China, which is potentially facing a 34% tax increase, on top of the 20% Chinese companies already pay. This means that most goods from China will be subject to a 54% import tax if the tariffs stand as is (which will probably change with negotiation over the next few weeks). Domestically, the American stock markets responded by dumping roughly $2 trillion worth of value, mostly in the form of tech companies losing substantially as most of their business models rely on overseas labor and/or logistics which are now subject to heavy tariffs.Analyst: S2A1Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground//END REPORT//

When Alfred Brenner enlisted in the Marines, he was told that the K-9 unit got to travel with air conditioning so he volunteered, even though he didn't really know anything about dogs. He was assigned a German shepherd named Grief and these two forged a bond during four months of training and in combat in Afghanistan. Alfred explains the role of a K-9 team as part of a platoon, how they train the dogs to detect explosives and bravely lead the way on patrol in enemy territory. This highly dangerous work eventually led to tragedy. Discovering a powerful IED, Grief was killed, and Alfred was grievously wounded. He ultimately recovered.Now a confirmed dog lover, Alfred recounts his unique experience and the job of these canine heroes in our military in his book, Surviving with Grief. Heroes Behind HeadlinesExecutive Producer Ralph PezzulloProduced & Engineered by Mike DawsonMusic provided by ExtremeMusic.com

The truth is far more nefarious than what both the mainstream and the mainstream alternative media claim. They want you complacent. Apathetic. The UK is pushing conscription for war with Russia via NATO. They're also targeting Iran which of course is in the crosshairs of Israel and the United States government. Trump recently claimed he would obliterate Iran under certain circumstances and he's made no mistake that he's an Israel First President. Iran is one of the top allies of Russia and China. China is barring AI and robotics researchers from traveling to the US. The US Navy made an announcement recently to prepare for war with China by 2027. The German government leaked one year ago that they plan to engage in war with Russia around June or July of 2025. It seems clear that all roads lead to Rome and the agenda is playing out as planned. Now, as Trump pushes bans on protests of Israel and criticism of a certain "chosen race," he's also pushing biometrics for migrants and the scripted war between the United States and Mexico heats up. Remember, the CIA armed and funded cartels, ran drugs into the US, caused mass migration, offered welfare and now suddenly, they can call the cartels "terrorist organizations," deliver "air strikes" as Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced and claim Russian and Chinese interference. The Russian and Chinese militaries do military parades in Mexico. The US government is accusing Mexico of housing Russian and Chinese missiles which is of course nonsense. They're claiming they're finding IEDs on the border. The Mexican military has been forced by the United States to start attacking cartels causing chaos on the ground in many places. Exactly as planned by the shadow government. "Problem, reaction, solution, repeat." Order out of chaos. All roads lead to Rome. In this video we break down this incredibly important issue and give solutions. Not the solutions the Mainstream Alternative Media wants you to have. They just want you voting perpetually and sitting on your hands. Stay tuned for more from WAM!

"I had a hit-man tell me that I needed to find God."*This episode discusses the very serious topics of sex trafficking and exploitation of children. Our guest was a federal prosecutor with a focus on those heinous crimes. Please proceed with caution.*In the first episode of our recent road trip, we're at the University of Virgina to speak with Marine Corps veteran and former federal prosecutor (and so, so many other things) Mr. Scott Jones. We discuss his multiple stints at the UVA law school, how searching for IEDs from a jet is ineffective, the way perspective changes after losing friends in combat, why prosecuting traffic violations sucks, the importance of bringing scumbags to justice, and the difficulties of returning to the UVA medical school when you are old enough to be your peers' parent.In the Free Fire Area, we discuss the 200th anniversary of the Marquis de Lafayette's return to the USA, other founding fathers, and our terrible pirating skills. We need your support: - Like, share, comment, and subscribe.

//The Wire//2300Z February 25, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: CARTEL VIOLENCE CONTINUES SOUTH OF U.S. BORDER. GERMAN CDU REVERSES STANCE ON IMMIGRATION POLICIES AFTER ELECTION.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Germany: Following the weekend election cycle, discontent has been a common observation as various politicians have backtracked on campaign promises. CDU leadership, for instance, has deliberately flipped on their main campaign issue regarding immigration. During the campaign, the CDU's primary initiative was to limit immigration into Germany. After the election, CDU leadership (presumptive Chancellor Friedrich Merz) reneged on this promise, stating that the border will not be closed. AC: Though unsurprising to most who had the foresight to perceive this European tradition of complete policy reversals after elections, many others are rather upset as this sharp reversal affects a policy issue pertinent to most Germans.-HomeFront-Washington D.C. - Controversy continues in Congress regarding Rep. Dan Crenshaw's threat to murder Tucker Carlson. Crenshaw was caught making the comment during a hot-mic incident as part of a media interview a few days ago.Southern Border Region: Following the IED incident in Tamaulipas earlier this month, Texas authorities have issued more warnings pertaining to the use of Improvised Anti-Vehicle Land Mines (IAVMs) in the vicinity of the border.-----END TEARLINE----- Analyst Comments: For clarification, this afternoon the Texas Department of Agriculture issued a warning to ranchers in the border region, warning them about the IED incident that occurred earlier this month. This warning statement was poorly worded, and did not provide the context that the event occurred nearly a month ago, and took place in Mexico almost a hundred miles south of the US border. The notice also referred to an American citizen being killed in the IED blast, however the wording of this announcement is slightly misleading since there is zero mention of the IED blast actually occurring inside Mexico. This missing context (and the contradictory details originating from sources with unknown veracity), is important to understand in terms of assessing the risk as accurately as possible.Over the past few months, clashes of increasing severity have been reported between the Gulf Cartel (CDG) and the Northeast Cartel (CDN) as both groups (but more importantly, various splinter groups from these two main organizations) continue the turf war south of Brownsville. Increased use of IEDs and weaponized drones has been reported semi-randomly throughout this increased period of conflict, with many innocent victims frequently being caught in the crossfire. So far the IED threat has not transitioned north across the border yet, however local authorities continue to issue the warnings nonetheless. Far more concerning are the increasingly significant small arms attacks and skirmishes that have taken place at the border itself over the past few weeks, between adversarial cartel groups.Analyst: S2A1Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground//END REPORT//

GET YOUR APRICOT SEEDS at the life-saving Richardson Nutritional Center HERE: https://rncstore.com/r?id=bg8qc1 Josh Sigurdson reports on the claims by Trump administration officials regarding military strikes against Mexican cartels by the US government, a notion beyond absurd but blindly accepted by millions. As we've reported for some time, the intelligence agencies are framing Mexico, one of the most self sustainable, family oriented, conservative countries in the Americas as "dangerous" and "threatening to the United States." As Mexico has military parades in places like Monterrey with Russia and China, it appears the US government is attempting to frame another "Cuban Missile Crisis" type scenario. As US military planes are diverted around the country and gun fights erupt on the border by design, as IEDs are found, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth claims that military strikes on Mexican cartels within Mexico are "on the table." This is simply the US government's way of creating a new Iraq on their border, and like Iraq, they'd be fighting people that they armed and funded in the first place while killing innocent civilians. Truly evil. This is also part of the lead-up to the "reset" as they create order out of chaos and bring in a North American economic union. Through trade wars between the United States, Canada and Mexico as well as physical wars (the administration has floated putting troops on the ground in Mexico), this is flying dangerously close to the sun. The issue of mass migration was manufactured by the United States in the first place in order to come in as the "solution" and grow the government. Meanwhile, Trump has called for the creation of an "iron dome" around the United States, increasing the power of the military industrial complex. In this video, we break down the psyop once again as the story continues. Stay tuned for more from WAM!

This week's update begins with a look at a DHS/FBI threat assessment for the next weekend's Superbowl football match in New Orleans. We then shift over to immigration and border security matters and look at the threat of gun battles and IEDs on the border, as well as the growth in anti-American sentiment as the Trump administration begins deportations and the tightening of screws on illegal immigrants.

The Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) has significantly advanced its tactical operations by formalizing a specialized drone unit, as evidenced by the emergence of unit-specific patches worn by its members. Since 2017, the CJNG has increasingly utilized drones for intelligence gathering, surveillance, reconnaissance, propaganda dissemination, and attacks involving improvised explosive devices (IEDs). The establishment of a dedicated drone operator unit underscores the cartel's commitment to integrating modern technology into its strategies, enhancing its operational capabilities against both rival groups and Mexican security forces.In response to the growing threat of weaponized drones, cartels have adapted by modifying their armored vehicles, commonly known as "narco tanks," with "cope cages." These improvised armor additions, typically constructed from steel bars or metal grating, form a cage-like structure above the vehicle's main armor. Originally designed to protect against rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs), cope cages are now employed to mitigate damage from drone attacks by either detonating explosives prematurely or disrupting their impact. This adaptation reflects the evolving nature of cartel warfare, where both offensive and defensive measures are continually adjusted in response to technological advancements in combat tactics.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Murph welcomes Byron Rogers, a former US Marine and combat veteran. They discuss Byron's military background, resilience, the challenges veterans face when transitioning to civilian life, and the alarming rate of veteran suicides. Byron recounts life-altering moments, including having been blown up five times by IEDs in Iraq, and a near-death experience during combat. He discusses the challenges of dealing with PTSD and how he overcame those demons to become a very successful entrepreneur. Byron emphasizes the importance of personal growth through pain, the distinction between strength and power, the necessity of self-belief, and the importance of humility in leadership and service. He also touches on his work with veterans and the significance of finding purpose and passion in life. And he's a character in Call of Duty Black Ops and War Zone!! 

On June 28, 2022, the Greater Victoria Emergency Response Team (aka GVERT) was working as a quick response team for narcotics surveillance when a call went out of an active bank robbery in progress.  Two suspects, covered almost completely in body armor and heavily armed with SKS rifles were robbing the Bank of Montreal branch in nearby Saanich BC.  The suspects had herded all of the bank patrons and employees into the back of the bank and then proceeded to wait more than 12 minutes in the entrance vestibule of the bank hoping to ambush and kill the responding officers.  In accordance with their policy of remaining covert until suspects left the bank to avoid creating a hostage situation, responding officers from Saanich, Central Saanich and nearby Victoria PD descended on the area and inserted into covert locations around the bank.  The GVERT team left the surveillance and headed immediately to the bank.  As they arrived on scene and gained situational awareness, the two male subjects, covered head to toe in armor and armed with SKS 7.62 x 39 rifles with high-capacity magazines, exited the bank. The team raced into the parking lot in their surveillance van, deployed a flashbang, and began to exit to effect arrest.  As they did the suspect nearest the van calmly turned and opened fire on the van.  In just a few seconds, 6 of the 7 operators in the van were shot, some multiple times.  All of them were injured and at least one of them was at immediate risk of death.The remaining team members and patrol officers returned fire eventually killing the suspects.  What transpired over the next few minutes can only be described as a heroic performance by team members and army of patrol officers and other first responders who quickly transitioned from taking the suspects into custody, to searching for a possible third shooter, clearing the bank, freeing the hostages, dealing with numerous IEDs and most importantly providing care and transport for their injured teammates.  This is the first of a two part series that will look at this event through the several different perspectives.  This episode will be unlike any previous episode of the debrief because of the sheer number of people we were able to interview.  The agencies, patrol officers and teams involved in this incident gave us access to more than a dozen people who responded to the event.  As a result, we will be seeing incident from the perspectives of the team commander, team leaders, detached sniper element, assaulters, medics, and even the patrol supervisor for the day.  It is our hope that doing so will allow us to understand not only what happened, but how their training allowed them to succeed in an almost unwinnable situation and how their lessons learned from the event informed future training and tactics. In this first part we will look at the timeline of the event itself, in part two we will sit down on video with three of the team members to look back at the events and formally discuss lessons learned.In keeping with the standard policy of the debrief we will not mention the suspects' names or objectives in the hopes that they will be lost to the sands of time.  We will however mention the names of responding officers as they are heroes and need to be remembered as such.One additional note, this episode has a corresponding decision-making exercise created by the California Association of Tactical Officers.  Please be sure to run that exercise with friends or your team.

Join the Co-host Chiefs and their guest Chief James Smith this Thursday at 6PM CST, streaming live on Facebook Live and YouTube. They will have part two of their discussion on what we know after the New Orleans attack that took the lives of 14 people and injured another 30 on New Year's morning. Law enforcement has learned several new clues about the suspect. A couple of hours before the attack, the suspect placed two improvised explosive devices, or IEDs, in two coolers on Bourbon Street. A transmitter that was supposed to detonate the IEDs was found in his vehicle. Law enforcement discovered in October the suspect was in New Orleans In October of 2024 for a few days and CCTV showed him riding through the French Quarter on a bicycle wearing "Meta glasses" he also visited New Orleans on November 10th, and investigators are still tracking his movements during that trip. After this attack what safety steps can be put in place in New Orleans and other major cities where large crowds of people gather to prevent another domestic terrorist attack?

FBI Releases Video of NOLA Terrorist Wearing Meta Glasses, Planting IED-Filled Coolers Across the French Quarter The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has released surveillance footage showing Shamsud-Din Jabbar, the perpetrator of the New Year's Day attack in New Orleans, planting improvised explosive devices (IEDs) concealed in coolers throughout the French Quarter. Jabbar was also wearing Meta-branded smart glasses, which he used to scout out the location during prior visits to the city. Jabbar, a 42-year-old U.S. Army veteran from Houston, conducted the attack by driving a rented Ford F-150 Lightning EV truck into a crowd on Bourbon Street, resulting... View Article

//The Wire//2300Z January 2, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: QUESTIONABLE DETAILS REMAIN FOLLOWING YESTERDAY'S TERROR ATTACKS.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-                                                       Europe: Russia's GAZPROM has halted the flow of natural gas to Europe following the cessation of the long-standing trade deal involving the transportation of LNG through Ukraine to European customers. This development has been expected since at least 2014, when Europe was extremely reliant on Russian gas, yet in the predicament of the war developing in Crimea at the time. Since that time, most European customers of Russian LNG have either attempted to reduce or shift their demand for natural gas, or have shifted to other providers. AC: At the moment, this development doesn't appear to really change much with regards to Europe's energy crisis; this is more of the end of an era that has been a long time coming.-HomeFront-Louisiana: Many details abound surrounding the New Year's attack on Bourbon Street. Most pressingly, the FBI has taken the position that the attacker, Shamsud-din Jabbar, acted alone. Despite initial reports suggesting three men and one woman were observed planting explosives throughout the area, the FBI has corrected these reports and suggested that the persons observed were not involved with the placement of IEDs. AC: The knee-jerk reaction by the FBI to lie has reduced the trust and confidence the average citizen has in this assessment. For instance, during the FBI's press conference yesterday (in which a spokesperson stated that the event wasn't terrorism), the FBI had already recovered an ISIS flag at the scene. At the time of the press conference, the FBI knew this detail, confirming that the details conveyed to the American people at that moment were a lie. Trust is a concept that is easily lost, and very hard to regain. As such, if additional threats emerge following the now multiple terror attacks that have already occurred around the nation, it's unlikely that anyone will trust what the FBI has to say for some time.Nevada: Overnight, investigators have stated that the incident at Trump Tower in Las Vegas was a deliberate act of terrorism. The suspect, who authorities claim has been identified as Matthew Livelsberger, allegedly constructed a Vehicle-Borne IED, detonating the device at the hotel for (as of now) unknown reasons.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: The details that have come to light regarding the Vegas bomber have largely been host to much suspicion. Allegedly, Livelsberger was killed in the attack. However, considering that Livelsberger was a Special Forces soldier, and an expert in sUAS systems and remotely-operated electronics, skepticism abounds as to whether or not the body recovered from the vehicle was actually him. DNA testing will be required to fully verify the driver's remains. Initially, authorities appear to have relied on tattoos and documents found in the vehicle to identify the driver of the Cybertruck. However, it's not clear as to how the driver's remains can be burned beyond recognition, yet his identity documents (to include his passport) survived the fire. It's also not clear as to why the driver would have sustained a gunshot wound to the head (as was stated by the Las Vegas Sheriff this afternoon), if the intent was for him to detonate a VBIED. This latter detail is completely at odds with the characteristics of most terror attacks; it is virtually unheard of for an attacker to take his own life before ensuring that their explosives are functional and/or the attack is complete. An attacker choosing to take their own life rather than carry out the attack is somewhat common, however the details of this case cause much doubt as to wh

In New Orleans, a man rammed down innocent civilians and opened fire on New Year's eve/day in the French Quarter. Initially the FBI said it wasn't terrorism. Then they said it was and that he acted with a bunch of people including a woman who planted IEDs throughout the city. Then they claimed he acted alone. In front of Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, a Cybertruck exploded with fireworks and bombs after the driver killed himself. Both of these people rented through Turo. Both of them were stationed at Fort Bragg. The Trump Hotel attacker was Special Ops and was still active duty. The New Orleans attacker was in the military there. Ryan Routh, the alleged attempted assassin of Trump on a golf course months ago also was stationed at Fort Bragg and worked for the Ukrainian intelligence service. This is clearly a Mossad/Cia operation to cause destabilization, fear and emergency orders while "justifying" the mass murder World War 3's manufactured campaigns will incur. Just like the Christmas Market attacker who called himself a "Zionist-Atheist" and was wanted for child trafficking. We have entered False Flag Season and they're stoking chaos before our eyes.

LAST UPDATED: 1/2/2024 4:01pm ET Paul Mauro, Fox News Contributor, attorney & Retired NYPD inspector, joined the Guy Benson Show today and brought the latest on the New Years Day terrorist attack on New Orleans' Bourbon Street. 15 individuals died in the attack, and the latest information available has revealed that the attacker likely acted alone.  The investigation is ongoing as reports have arisen that some IEDs were also discovered and safely detonated in the area. Bourbon Street is now scheduled to open ahead of the postponed Sugar Bowl kickoff, and officials have said that the area is secure. Mauro and Benson also give a brief update on the Tesla explosion in Las Vegas that is also being investigated as a potential terrorist attack, and you can listen to the full update below.

FBI are continuing their investigation into a terrorist attack in New Orleans that left 15 dead and dozens of others wounded in the early hours of New Year's Day as people celebrated on Bourbon Street. Authorities say 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a U. S. citizen from Texas, drove a Ford pickup truck into a crowd and after killing and injuring dozens, fired upon local law enforcement, who in turn shot and killed the suspect. Authorities found an ISIS flag located in the vehicle along with weapons and a potential IED. They also located other IEDs in the French Quarter. FBI has not determined if he worked alone. President Joe Biden addressed the nation: "I directed my team to make sure every resource, every resource is made available to federal, state, and local law enforcement." Authorities are simultaneously working to determine if another incident, this one in Las Vegas, is connected. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

//The Wire//2100Z January 1, 2025////PRIORITY////BLUF: VEHICLE RAMMING ATTACK OCCURS AT BOURBON STREET CELEBRATIONS IN NEW ORLEANS, MULTIPLE IEDS FOUND. VEHICLE EXPLOSION REPORTED AT TRUMP TOWER IN LAS VEGAS.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-                                                       Global: A G4 geomagnetic storm is currently underway following two Earth-facing Coronal Mass Ejections (CME) observed a few days ago. Aurora (Northern Lights) will be observed at more southern latitudes than normal, and various radio communications may be degraded over the next few days.-HomeFront-New York: Yesterday evening, another shoving attack was carried out on the New York City subway system. A man approached a subway passenger from behind, and intentionally shoved him onto the tracks mere seconds before a train arrived. Surveillance footage of the attack strongly indicates the attack was deliberately timed to coincide with the arrival of the train. The victim, who was crushed by the train, reportedly remains in critical condition. The assailant has been identified as Kamel Hawkins, an individual known to police with an extensive criminal history. AC: Initially, the attacker was only charged with 2nd degree assault for this attack. However, due to public outrage, additional charges of attempted murder have been brought, due to the horrific and deliberate nature of the attack.Louisiana: During New Year's celebrations last night, an assailant conducted a vehicle ramming attack on a crowd of people on Bourbon Street. After ramming his vehicle into the crowd, the assailant exited the vehicle and began the second phase of his attack, engaging two police officers with a small arms. 2x police officers were wounded in this engagement, both of which are reportedly hospitalized and in stable condition. At some point during this skirmish, the assailant was neutralized. Multiple Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) were found in the vehicle after the incident. The FBI also stated that multiple IEDs were also located emplaced throughout the French Quarter, though none of these explosive devices successfully detonated during the attack. So far, 15x fatalities have been reported due to the attack, and over 30x wounded. This morning, the attacker was identified as Shamsud-Din Jabbar, an American citizen (and Army veteran) who lived in Texas. After the attack, a residential fire was reported on Mandeville Street, in an Airbnb residence that was allegedly linked in some way to the attacker. AC: Also of note, it is not entirely certain that this individual acted alone; rumors have begun to mount suggesting that several other suspects are currently being investigated for their alleged involvement. As a result, it is possible that this incident has not yet reached a conclusion. After all, if a terrorist is going to take the time to plant multiple IEDs throughout an area, there could be more explosive devices that have not been discovered yet. This is most sharply demonstrated by the Governor of Louisiana declaring a state of emergency after the attack. This declaration (and the subsequent deployment of Military Police, per statements from Gov. Landry's office) is unusual following allegedly-isolated attacks and likely would not happen if the threat of follow-on attacks wasn't present. This afternoon, multiple media outlets claimed that local authorities have information regarding three males and one female planting the explosives around the city. Though this information remains unconfirmed at this time, citizens nationwide are strongly encouraged to remain vigilant and observant during this time of heightened risk.Nevada: An incident was reported in the vicinity of Trump Tower in Las Vegas this morning when

Explosive remnants of war, including artillery shells, rockets, and improvised explosive devices (IEDs), pose a grave threat to civilians everywhere – but especially children in Gaza, now and in the years ahead, according to the Chief of Programme Management with the UN Mine Action Service (UNMAS).Taku Kubo spoke with UN News about the challenges these hazards present for long-term recovery and reconstruction in the region.Despite ongoing conflict and resource constraints, UNMAS has conducted close to 400 explosive hazard assessments and accompanied more than 270 humanitarian convoys as part of the aid effort.Mr. Kubo spoke to UN News's Abdelmonem Makki. 

//The Wire//2300Z November 4, 2024////ROUTINE////BLUF: FBI ARRESTS POTENTIAL TERRORIST PLOTTING ATTACK ON POWER GRID. MEDIA SPECULATES IRANIAN COUNTERATTACK TO BEGIN TONIGHT. ELECTION FORTIFICATIONS CONTINUE IN USA.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Switzerland – Over the weekend additional details have come to light pertaining to the September arrests of the inventor of the Sarco death pods serviced by the assisted-death group Last Resort. The inventor and several others were arrested in September following a malfunction during the first operational use of their death pod. New details indicate that foul play is assessed to be a factor at this time, as a forensic medical examiner noted strangulation marks on the victim's neck. AC: As this exceptionally morbid and dystopian topic has received much attention over the past few years, the situation has not been made much better following the first victim of one of the death pods being found strangled to death. Initial information is sketchy at best, but most theories pertain to the idea that the death pod probably didn't actually kill the person inside it, and the developers probably had to murder their first customer instead.Middle East: Many mainstream media sources throughout the region are theorizing that an Iranian counterattack on Israel may take place tonight or tomorrow, so as to take advantage of the timing of the American Presidential election. AC: As always, nothing is confirmable via open sources. However, even though all mainstream media sources are largely propaganda outlets, it's possible that mainstream media groups run/influenced by intelligence agencies could indeed have inside information pertaining to Iranian attack plans.-HomeFront-United States: Election day fortifications and anti-personnel obstacles continue to be emplaced throughout most major US cities by government agencies and private businesses alike. Plywood barricades have been emplaced by most businesses and storefronts around the National Mall as has become standard during times of heightened potential for civil unrest.Tennessee: This afternoon a man was arrested for allegedly planning to conduct an attack on a power station near Nashville. The FBI identified the assailant as Skyler Philippi, who was arrested after attempting to use an explosive-laden drone to attack a power station.Gulf Coast: Tropical Depression 18L continues to develop strength, as most forecast models predict the storm strengthening into a Tropical Storm this evening. Initial forecast modeling indicates a general track toward Louisiana.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Not much is known regarding the incident in Nashville, however a cursory search of the alleged assailant's name returns substantial open-source investigation reports conducted by far-left groups hunting down alleged White Supremacist groups and/or people. This individual left a paper trail so far and wide as to be exceptionally suspicious, and probably attracted the attention of every federal agency that exists by his rather active online presence. In a continuation of previous DoJ takedowns of potential terrorists, the details surrounding this case raise questions as to how long the FBI was going to wait before stopping this assailant. Per the FBI's own press release, the individual had confessed to planning a mass shooting at a YMCA facility in June of this year. He had also scouted out the electrical facility multiple times, and openly conveyed all of his attack plans to undercover FBI agents in excruciating detail. Additionally, the assailant purchased C4 plastic explosives from an undercover agent, and later purchased black power to be used in the manufacture of IEDs as well. As if this was not enough to arrest the individual, he was able to assemble the explosive devices, attach at least one to a drone, travel to the facility, arm the explosives a

His colleagues described it as one of the "greatest single acts of bravery" they'd ever seen. In 2009, while deployed as part of an anti-explosives team in Kandahar, Bruno Guevremont became the only Canadian Armed Forces member to defuse a live suicide bomber. In episode two of Forgotten War, Guevremont describes the day that changed his life, the "cat-and-mouse game" between him and the Taliban during his second tour in Afghanistan, the difficulty of coming home, and how he healed from the psychological wounds that have been ignored throughout most of the history of war.

Dr. Steven DeKosky is professor of Alzheimer's research at the University of Florida College of Medicine and Deputy Director of the McKnight Brain Institute at that institution. He also is a professor of neurology and neuroscience there. Previously, he served as vice president and dean of the University of Virginia School of Medicine and was chairperson of the department of neurology at the University of Pittsburgh. Part 1 Dr. DeKosky described how CTE has a fascinating history, There still are questions about it. Some questions are old while some are new, but they all are interesting with respect to injury to the brain and how you try to repair it. Future directions also will be covered because the data arrive quickly. Mild traumatic brain injury usually means at least being knocked unconscious. It is not clear whether there is short-term pathology that lasts. Recovery usually is good. It is not clear exactly how much of an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease there is with a single severe TBI while more is being learned about the long-term effects. Only recently has CTE been defined clearly. Boxing is where CTE came from initially. He indicated that football helmets first were used at the U.S. Naval Academy in 1894 because one player needed protection against experiencing another head injury. He mentioned that the NCAA owes its origins to efforts to reduce brutal injuries sustained by football players. President Theodore Roosevelt led governmental efforts to prevent such injuries. Several examples were provided of developments that occurred over the decades to obtain a greater understanding of the prevention and treatment of brain damage. Apart from head injuries in sports, an uptick in interest in such uncommon disorders resulted from modern day wars in the middle east involving blast injuries from IEDs and the discovery that playing football and other sports led to many injuries viewed as being more common.

Mexican cartels have increasingly incorporated drones into their operations, utilizing them for both offensive and intelligence-gathering purposes. This shift marks a significant evolution in their tactics and capabilities.Dropping Munitions: Cartels have adapted commercial drones to carry and drop small explosives on their rivals and Mexican military forces. This tactic allows them to strike from a distance with precision, bypassing traditional defense measures. The drones are often modified to carry improvised explosive devices (IEDs) or grenades, making them a lethal and cost-effective tool in their arsenals.Surveillance and Intelligence Gathering: Cartels have also started using drones for surveillance purposes, particularly along the U.S.-Mexico border. These drones are sent across the border to monitor U.S. Border Patrol activities, identifying weak spots and timing crossings to avoid detection. This real-time intelligence allows them to adjust their smuggling routes and operations more effectively, making it harder for law enforcement to intercept drugs, weapons, and human trafficking activities.Cross-border Operations: The use of drones for cross-border surveillance represents a sophisticated approach to bypass traditional security measures. Cartels can gather detailed information on patrol patterns, border infrastructure, and even track law enforcement personnel. This intelligence is critical for planning and executing smuggling operations with higher success rates.The increasing use of drones by Mexican cartels showcases their ability to adapt and innovate in response to law enforcement pressures, making them a more formidable threat in both Mexico and the United States.(commercial at 8:23)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Exclusive | Hundreds of suspected cartel drones — some with explosives — are flying near the southern border (nypost.com)

The CJNG, led by Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, also known as "El Mencho," has been known for its brutal and innovative methods of exerting control and influence. The cartel's shift to using drones equipped with explosives represents a strategic evolution aimed at maintaining and expanding their dominance in the drug trade and other illicit activities.The use of drones by the CJNG was first reported a few years ago, primarily for surveillance purposes. However, recent reports indicate a more sophisticated approach, where drones are now being fitted with improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and used in offensive operations. These drone attacks have been employed in various regions, targeting rival cartel members, military convoys, police stations, and other strategic locations.Specific IncidentsMichoacán and Guanajuato: These states have seen significant drone activity by the CJNG. In Michoacán, drones have been used to drop bombs on local police and rival cartel strongholds, causing casualties and significant damage.Jalisco: The cartel's home state has also experienced drone attacks, including assaults on government buildings and security forces.Guerrero: In this state, drones have been used to target community police forces, who often oppose cartel activities.The use of drone-delivered bombs has posed new challenges for Mexican security forces. Traditional counterinsurgency tactics are less effective against these airborne threats. The Mexican government has had to adapt, investing in anti-drone technology and training to counter this new form of warfare. Despite these efforts, the adaptability and innovation of the CJNG continue to complicate law enforcement and military responses.The CJNG's use of drones demonstrates their ability to acquire and utilize advanced technology. These drones are often commercially available models modified to carry and drop explosive payloads. The modifications require a certain level of technical expertise, indicating the cartel's capability to recruit or train individuals with the necessary skills.The use of drone-delivered bombs by the CJNG also has international implications. It sets a precedent for other criminal organizations globally, potentially leading to an arms race in cartel warfare technology. Moreover, the origins of the drones and explosive materials often point to international smuggling routes, implicating global networks in the supply chain.In response to the growing threat, the Mexican government has been increasing its focus on technological countermeasures. This includes deploying anti-drone systems, enhancing surveillance capabilities, and cooperating with international partners to curb the flow of technology and materials to the cartels.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Drug cartels using bomb-dropping drones have killed Mexican army soldiers: report | Fox News
