The female shooter who opened fire at Joel Osteen's Lakewood Church on Sunday had a 'Free Palestine' message written on her weapon, per a new report.
The shooter has been identified as Genesse Ivonne Moreno, 36, who previously used the name Jeffrey and has a lengthy criminal record, including assault, marijuana posession and forgery.
The shooter used an AR-15 that had “Free Palestine” written on it.
The shooter also threatened that she had a bomb, but authorities searched her vehicle and backpack and found no explosives, the Houston police chief said.
She was also spraying “some type of substance on the ground,” Finner said.
On Sunday night, authorities searched a home in Conroe, Texas, in connection with the shooting, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives confirmed Monday. Spokesperson Melissa Garcia told CNN the ATF-Houston Division was one of the law enforcement agencies involved in the search, but provided no additional details on what they were searching for. The home is about 50 minutes north of Lakewood Church.
The shooting happened between services at the megachurch that is regularly attended by 45,000 people every week, making it the third largest megachurch in the U.S., according to the Hartford Institute for Religion Research. Osteen´s televised sermons reach about 100 countries.
Genesse Moreno went by Jeffrey Escalante Moreno, among other aliases, and was from El Salvador.
Moreno also posted about giving money to Osteen's church, and indicated that Moreno had attended and was part of that church.
Moreno's Instagram page shows that Moreno presented in a feminine way.

Theshooter used an AR-15 that had “Free Palestine” written on it, according to a federal law enforcement source. Investigators are trying to sort out whether she was politically motivated or a disturbed individual, the source said.

I carry when in Church, as do many of the others there. I also see the cops hired to help and noticed many of them there out of uniform when not working.
Local news reports that multiple sources have said that Genesse Ivonne Moreno is suspected of being the "armed woman" who was killed at the church Sunday.
Reports indicated that the shooter was female, but Moreno may have been male. Moreno was shot and killed by two off-duty officers.

Were we ever to right the sinking ship that seems to pass as "society", it seems a good first step might be reporting *men* doing things (things good, bad, and indifferent) as *men* doing things rather than just making shit up as we go along.

[ShabelleMedia] The al-Qaeda-linked bully boy group al-Shabaab ... the Islamic version of the old Somali warlord... claimed an attack that killed three Emirati troops and a Bahraini military officer on a training mission at a military base in the Somali capital, authorities said on Sunday.
The attack Saturday targeted the troops at the General Gordon Military Base in Mogadishu.
Details about the attack and whether it killed others remained scarce Sunday, though Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud offered his condolences to the UAE for the loss of its troops in the assault.
Early Sunday, the UAE’s state-run WAM news agency reported the killing of three of its troops and the Bahraini soldier in a "terrorist act," without elaborating. It added that the attack maimed two others.
Al-Shabaab claimed the attack in a statement online, alleging it killed multiple people involved in the Emirati military effort. It described the UAE, a federation of seven sheikhdoms on the Arabian Peninsula, as an "enemy" of Islamic Shariah law for backing the Somali government in its efforts to battle al-Shabaab.
Somalia has also been an intense interest for Gulf states, particularly the Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula.

[ShabelleMedia] At least five people were killed Wednesday and 10 maimed in a kaboom in Somalia’s lower Shabelle region in the state of South West, according to officials.
The attack involved an improvised explosive (IED) device that targeted a security checkpoint in the town of Afgoye, said Ibrahim Ali, a security official in South West who spoke to Anadolu.
He said the number of maimed included civilians and security personnel who were rushed to hospitals and medical facilities in the national capital of Mogadishu.
Afgoye is a strategic agricultural town 30 kilometers (18 miles) southwest of Mogadishu.

[ShabelleMedia] Several blasts at a popular open-air market in Somalia’s capital Mogadishu killed at least 10 people and left many others injured on Tuesday, local residents told Rooters.
"I have counted 10 dead people and 15 others injured. My shop is completely destroyed. The blasts took place in four places in the center of the market," Hassan Ali, a trader at the Bakara market told Rooters.
It was not immediately clear who was responsible for the blasts but Islamist group al-Shabaab ... Somalia's version of the Taliban, functioning as an arm of al-Qaeda... frequently carries out bombings in Somalia and elsewhere.
The government was not immediately available for comment. "I can say no more!" Bakara, Mogadishu’s largest market, teems with traders and is where most residents buy their food, clothes, medicine, electronics and other items daily.
Residents told Rooters several blasts went off, destroying many shops. Three nurses at Erdogan Hospital in Mogadishu told Rooters over 20 injured people had been brought to the facility.

[Breitbart] Authorities in Mexico are investigating the shooting of the wife of a retired DEA agent and the recent kidnapping of a U.S. citizen near Mexico’s Caribbean hotspot of Cancun. Mexican authorities reportedly tried to cover up one of the cases as a way to diminish the growing perception that violence has taken over the country.
The shooting of the woman took place on Friday night in the tourist area of Tulum, approximately 70 miles south of Cancun, in the state of Quintana Roo. According to the local news outlet NotiCaribe, the attack took place at a beach along the Tulum-Boca Paila highway. Local authorities tried to cover up the attack where one woman, who they claim is the wife of a retired DEA agent living in Cancun, was shot, the outlet reported. A second victim described only as a male sustained gunshot wounds, however, additional details have not been released. U.S. officials have not provided any information to confirm or deny the incident.

Thought experiment: ...the hypothetical hallmarks of a compromised former DEA agent who was knowingly used by one cartel to damage a competitor cartel. Exposed after retirement, he is now at risk of prosecution back in the US for his collusion, and lives under the protection of the Sinaloa cartel but is at risk by former Zeta's of Grupo Regional who suffered damage from his actions? Just a wild guess...

[Regnum] Greek police detained four people, including the former leader of one of the terrorist organizations in Greece, for possession of weapons and explosives, ERT television reported on February 10.
In addition, among those detained were a well-known anarchist figure and two employees of an underwater sabotage detachment. The operation to capture them was carried out on February 9 in the cities of Athens, Piraeus and Perama.
During searches in the houses of the detainees, police found and seized TNT blocks, fuses, a grenade, a pistol, magazines for machine guns and pistols, as well as cartridges of various calibers, a bulletproof vest, knives and iron brass knuckles.
The criminals were caught a week after the explosion, which occurred near the building of the Greek Ministry of Labor in the center of Athens. As a result of the incident, glass was broken on five floors of the building.
As Regnum reported, in mid-July an explosion occurred in the center of Athens near the building of the Grand Masonic Lodge of Greece. Before the incident, a warning message was received.
After the incident, another package with explosives was found near this place. They were able to neutralize him. However, the power of both explosive devices turned out to be small.
[IsraelTimes] Hundreds of pro-Paleostinian protesters held a demonstration inside New York’s Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) on Saturday afternoon, forcing the museum to close its doors several hours early, at around 4 p.m., arts and culture website Hyperallergic reports.
Close to 800 protesters filled the museum’s atrium in protest of alleged investments into Israel’s military weapons by the museum’s trustees.
The protesters distributed more than 1,000 imitation MoMA pamphlets criticizing trustees Leon Black, Larry Fink, Paula Crown, Marie-Josée Kravis and Ronald S. Lauder, the report states, and hung a banner over the lobby that read "MoMA Trustees Fund Genocide, Apartheid, and Settler Colonialism."
In videos posted to social media, hundreds of people chant "Free Free Paleostine" as they stand under various signs and banners reading "Ceasefire now," "Long live Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage.

It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... " and "From the river to the sea," which is a shortened version of the popular anti-Israel chant "From the river to the sea, Paleostine will be free."
After around 15 minutes, the museum’s security guards began turning people away at the doors and allowed people inside the building to exit, the report says.
A similar protest took place at the MoMA in May 2021, amid Operation Guardian of the Walls
Journalist Afeef Nassouli, a producer for the Wall Street Journal, spoke to a woman named Ariel, who identified themselves as a member of the grassroots political group ACT UP
... old-fashioned Black Bloc...
New York—originally formed in response to the AIDS crisis— about how she personally led an affinity group of anti-Zionist Jews, artists, and ACT UP members to the protest at MoMA “because we are all here to take a stand against genocide.”
According to an Instagram post by Alexa Blair Wilkinson, a photojournalist and graphic designer who attended the protest, no arrests were made and the sit-in dispersed around 6pm.
The protest at MoMA was organized by the Writers Against the War on Gaza
... boring cause junkies
and the New York chapter of the Palestinian Youth Movement.
...one of a number of virulently anti-Israel protest groups sponsored by the Westchester People’s Action Coalition — they do intersectional stuff when not overtly acting against Israel ...
A statement read out loud by protestors said “This action builds on the work of Strike MoMA, Gulf Labor, Art Workers Coalition, and more broadly, on resistance movements including the undying fight for Black Liberation, prison abolition, and Indigenous sovereignty.”
See? Cause junkies secretly hoping their fierce devotion to everything coming down the pike will somehow improve their mating prospects.
Estimates of the crowd of protestors at the Museum of Modern Art ranged from “more than 500” to “more than 800” people.
So at least 200. Got it.
Earlier on Saturday, Within Our Lifetime, a grassroots Palestinian-led community organization, held a protest at the Brooklyn Museum.
Photographer Stephanie Keith posted on Instagram that “NYPD made about 10 arrests while the protest was in front of the Museum including @protestnsurvive who is a credentialed member of New York City media.”
MoMA and the Brooklyn Museum did not respond to ARTnews‘ requests for comment. Writers Against The War on Gaza said in an email statement, “WAWOG does not give comment to publications owned by Penske Media.”
[IsraelTimes] Noah Lederman says a toxic atmosphere on campus led to his being pinned against a wall as he fled a demonstration co-organized and endorsed by student organizations.
The incident occurred late afternoon on February 2 after more than 500 pro-Paleostinian demonstrators turned out for the "All Out for Paleostine" protest.
The protest was organized by Within Our Lifetime. Columbia University Apartheid Divest co-organized the demonstration, which was endorsed by over 80 campus organizations.
Lederman decided to attend a small counter-protest in support of Israel after a friend asked him to accompany her.
Lederman said he decided to leave when the chanting and banner-waving pro-Paleostinian demonstrators started marching south down Broadway. He ducked into Book Culture bookstore on 115th Street, where he met up with his roommate. The two then started walking north, thinking it would be the safest route to their dorm.
When they got to 120th Street, it looked like a group of protesters were marching toward them. Lederman, wearing his Israeli flag T-shirt and a kippah, said he kept his head down as he tried to walk briskly past the group.
It was then that a man in a keffiyeh, a traditional men’s headscarf that has become a symbol of Paleostinian nationalism, spotted Lederman’s shirt and allegedly ordered the other protesters to fan out. Before Lederman understood what was happening, he said, he felt himself being shoved against the wall, unable to move.
He finally broke free and ran. And as he ran, Lederman said, the man yelled, "Keep f—ing running."
Lederman reported the incident to the NYPD and the University Department of Public Safety. According to Columbia, it’s the responsibility of the NYPD to handle the investigation since the alleged incident happened outside the campus gates.
Lederman said he’s less concerned with the man’s motives than he is with the overall climate that allowed the incident to unfold, saying it’s indicative of a general toxic atmosphere that has engulfed the Columbia campus since October 7.
"Columbia allowed things to progress... tolerance for violence begets violence," he said. "The climate on campus has made it possible for demonstrators on campus to feel they are untouchable. I want accountability from the university."
Columbia is one of several schools being investigated by the US Department of Education’s (DOE) Office of Civil Rights for allowing alleged antisemitic harassment to take place on school grounds and by registered student groups. An investigation means the DOE has identified a credible allegation that civil rights law has been violated.
Under Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, colleges and universities receiving federal money must protect students from discrimination based on race, color or national origin. This includes Jews, Moslems and other ethnic or religious groups with "shared ancestry." The university stands to lose federal funding if a civil rights violation is found.

[GEO.TV] Security forces eliminated a "high-value target" Surat Gul aka Saif Ullah of ISIS in an intelligence-based operation (IBO) in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa’s (KP) Khyber district on Sunday.
On the reported presence of a high-profile terrorist, security forces swung into action immediately and carried out a raid in the tribal district, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in a statement.
An intense fire exchange occurred during the conduct of the operation in which the ’ring leader’ of the outlawed terrorist outfit was killed by the security forces.
"Weapons, ammunition and explosives were also recovered from the killed terrorist commander, who remained actively involved in numerous terrorist activities including murder of innocent civilians as well as extortion and was highly wanted by the law enforcement agencies."
"Sanitisation operation is being conducted to eliminate any other terrorist found in the area. Locals of the area appreciated the operation and expressed their full support to eliminate the menace of terrorism," the military’s media wing added.
Earlier in the month, two bandidosbully boyz including a ring leader in KP’s North Wazoo district were killed by the security forces on the night of February 5 and 6.
The ring leader Ayubullah, also known as Mansoor, alongside another, was bumped off, as the forces conducted an intelligence-based operation on the reported presence of terrorists, a military statement read.

[IsraelTimes] Police say a Paleostinian woman who attempted to illegally enter Israel on Friday was revealed to be one of 240 prisoners Israel freed in November in a hostage deal with Hamas ...the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,... Oh dear. It sounds like she wants to resume her prison sentence.
According to police, Border Police officers stationed at the a-Za’im checkpoint near Jerusalem stopped a suspicious vehicle, in which a Paleostinian woman tried to identify herself using an ID card that did not belong to her.
Police say the officers realized the woman, a 21-year-old resident of the village of Beit Ur, had been previously detained in October during festivities.
At the time, she had been shot in the leg and arrested after allegedly hurling stones at Border Police officers, while masked.
Police say the woman is affiliated with Hamas and was released in the hostage deal with the terror group in November.

The footage released by Israel Defense Forces show soldiers entering homes or riding tanks.
During its 4-months-long campaign, Israel's military has destroyed schools, hospitals, cemeteries, mosques, churches as well as archaeological sites leaving rare areas intact, particularly in northern Gaza.
27,000 Paleostinians have been killed so far.
Heavy fighting ... as opposed to the more usual name-calling or slapsy... is still taking place in central Gaza and in Khan Younis.
Prime Minister Benyahim Netanyahu has signalled plans to push the military operation further south to Rafah.
A ground operation in the densely populated could cut off one of the only avenues for delivering lifesaving supplies to millions of civilians trapped there.
According to sources speaking to the News Agency that Dare Not be Named agency Sunday (Feb. 11), Egypt is threatening to suspend its peace treaty with Israel if Israeli troops are sent into Rafah.
The threat to suspend the Camp David Accords - a cornerstone of regional stability for nearly a half-century - came after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said sending troops into Rafah was necessary to win the four-month war against the Paleostinian bad boy group Hamas ...the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,... As the war has dragged on, a growing number of Israeli protestors ask their government to reach a deal with Hamas.
But a small group of hostages' families is pushing a different message: Let the army first finish the job of defeating the bad boy group, even if that delays the return of their loved ones.
These families argue that the price to be paid in any hostage deal — the release of large numbers of Paleostinian forces of Evil held by Israel — would endanger the country in the future.
Hamas's armed wing claims that Israeli strikes over the past three days have killed two hostages being held by the group in Gaza.

The Hamas members were taken into custody and transported to Israel for questioning, the military added.

Caitlin Johnstone? We know all about her: A hateful Australian leftwing activist blogger who claims to be a journalist. Her co-writer is her American expat husband — he’s just as hateful, but it’s cute how wonderful he thinks her. She writes things like
This is the sort of mind which keeps the empire marching along from administration to administration no matter who Americans elect. This is the sort of mind which keeps the weapons flowing, the blood pouring, the fossil fuels burning, and the terrified screams which power the imperial machine continually erupting into the night sky.
It was about people like her of both sexes that the word hysterical was invented.
At one point — and perhaps still — the IDF call center was flooded with calls from Gaza offering very useful tips for the invasion. So clearly some have been awaiting liberation from Hamas at the hands of Israel.
Here are some details on the two rescued hostages, Fernando Marman and Louis Har, from our previous reporting:
Marman, 61, was taken hostage from Kibbutz Nir Yitzhak to Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks.

IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari offers details on the rescue of hostages Marman and Har.
"The IDF and the Shin Bet have been working on this operation for a long time," he says.
"Conditions were not ripe to carry it out until now, and we waited for them to ripen."
He adds: "Reaching the target in the heart of Rafah was very complex."
Forces clandestinely arrived at the target at around 1 a.m., and carried out a very complex action on the premises and the second floor where the hostages were held."
He says preparations included "backup, a major aerial envelope, and intimate intel."
He says forces then broke into the building and exchanged fire with button men in the building and in adjacent buildings, while extracting the hostages.
"There was intense firepower from the air. Fire was opened from nearby buildings. The Air Force struck intensively there."
He says "many Death Eaters were eliminated tonight in this action."
One soldier was lightly injured, but beyond that no Israelis were hurt.
"The entire operation lasted about an hour from start to finish."
Hagari says the two hostages are now meeting with their families at Sheba Medical Center.
"It was a very tense night, but with a very emotional result," he says.
"We have 134 more hostages and we will continue to do everything to bring them home."
The Israeli military said on Monday it freed two hostages during a raid by special forces in Gaza's southern Rafah neighborhood.
The hostages were taken to Sheba hospital in central Israel, a statement from the hospital said, and were confirmed by doctors to be in "good condition".
And both Besoeker and Skidmark give us this link to the Daily Mail’s take on the story.
[IsraelTimes] About 15 settlers seen hurling rocks, smashing windshields and spraying tear gas at Paleostinian cars near Bizzariya, according to Yesh Din
Some 15 Israeli settlers threw stones at Paleostinian vehicles on Sunday near the West Bank village of Bizzariya, northwest of Nablus, according to the Israeli human rights ...not to be confused with individual rights, mind you... watchdog Yesh Din.
In one incident, the settlers smashed the windshield of a car and sprayed the Paleostinian driver with tear gas, the Haaretz daily reported, adding that the driver was taken to a hospital for medical treatment.
It followed an instance on Thursday in which masked settlers threw stones at Paleostinians at the Bizzariya junction, as seen on film shot by security cameras.
According to Yesh Din, 2023 was the most violent mostly peaceful year on record in terms of settler violence since the watchdog began tracking statistics in 2006. At least 10 Paleostinians were killed by settlers, the watchdog said, and dozens of homes were torched. The violence rose sharply following Hamas ...one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbund millipede,... ’s October 7 massacre, which saw 1,200 people killed, most of them civilians, and 253 kidnapped.
In the wake of the increase in settler violence, the Israel Defense Forces held a drill last week that simulated settlers kidnapping a Paleostinian. The drill outraged the settler community and Israeli right, who claimed that such a scenario was unrealistic, leading IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi to issue an apology. Such instances, however, have occurred in the past.
Following criticism over its support of Israel in its war against Hamas, the Biden administration enforced sanctions two weeks ago against four bad boy settlers accused of using violence against Paleostinians.
The sanctions will block designated individuals from access to the US financial system, blocking them from any type of property in the US and freezing any property that they might already own. The sanctions will also include a ban on entry to the US.
[IsraelTimes] Attackers neutralized in incidents less than an hour apart; man lightly injured by shrapnel from gunfire during one attack
A Paleostinian man who attempted to stab Israeli soldiers near the West Bank village of Husan on Sunday was shot and killed by Israel Defense Forces troops, the Paleostinian Authority health ministry said Sunday evening.
The incident came less than an hour after a stabbing attack in Jerusalem’s Old City.
The PA said Israeli authorities had been in touch over the Husan incident and named the assailant as 35-year-old Rami Rashid al-Batha.
The suspect’s body was apparently being held by Israeli authorities.
The IDF said soldiers were patrolling a highway near the village when the Paleostinian assailant tried to stab them. No soldiers were maimed in the incident.
Earlier in Jerusalem, Magen David Adom paramedics treated a man who was lightly maimed during an attempted stabbing attack on coppers in Jerusalem’s Old City. The man was lightly hurt in the leg by shrapnel from gunfire toward the assailant.
The suspect who tried to stab officers was "neutralized," police said.
Since war erupted in Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... after the Hamas ...a regional Iranian catspaw,... terror group’s deadly October 7 attacks, IDF troops have arrested more than 3,060 wanted Paleostinians across the West Bank, including more than 1,350 affiliated with Hamas.
According to the Paleostinian Authority health ministry, more than 300 West Bank Paleostinians have been killed in that time.
So 10% killed, and one third of arrests (and probably deaths, as well) are Hamas. Got it.
[An Nahar] Israeli forces overnight shelled the southern Lebanese border village of Houla, killing one person and wounding nine as they left a mosque after prayers, state-run National News Agency reported.
The agency said that in addition to the artillery shelling, a drone fired a missile toward the mosque.
Children were among the maimed, the agency added.
Israeli forces and Hezbollah have traded near-daily fire since war broke out on October 7 between Israel and the Paleostinian group Hamas ...the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,... in the Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks.

More than 200 people have been killed in Leb ...an Iranian satrapy currently ruled by Hassan Nasrallah situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozen flavors of Christians, plus Armenians, Georgians, and who knows what else? It is the home of the original Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers... , most of them Hezbollah fighters.
