-Lurid Crime Tales-
Multiple victims after shooting at Baptist Church in Lexington, Kentucky
[PUBLISH.TWITTER]

Two women killed in Kentucky church shooting after trooper shot; suspect killed, police say

[WISHtv] Two women died Sunday at a church in Lexington, Kentucky, in a shooting rampage that began when a state trooper was wounded after making a traffic stop, police said. The suspect in both shootings was also killed.

The suspect carjacked a vehicle after the traffic stop near Lexington’s airport and fled to Richmond Road Baptist Church, where he opened fire, city Police Chief Lawrence Weathers said. Killed in the shootings at the church were a 72-year-old woman and a 32-year-old woman, the local coroner said.

Two other people were wounded at the church and taken to a local hospital, the police chief said. One victim sustained critical injuries and the other was in stable condition, Weathers said.

The suspect was shot by police and died at the scene, he said. The suspect was not immediately identified pending notification of family, he said.

“Preliminary information indicates that the suspect may have had a connection to the individuals at the church,” the police chief said at a news conference.

The trooper stopped the vehicle after receiving a “license plate reader alert” and was shot about 11:30 a.m., Weathers said. The trooper was in stable condition, he said.

Police tracked the carjacked vehicle to the Baptist church, the police chief said. The church is about 16 miles 26 kilometers) from where the trooper was shot.

The shootings remain under investigation, Weathers said.

Fayette County Coroner Gary Ginn said the church is home to a small, tight-knit congregation.
WXYZ adds:
Authorities say the shooter had a lengthy criminal history.

The family has announced passing of the former president, Muhammadu Buhari

Muhammadu Buhari, who took power in Nigeria by both coup and ballot box, dead at 82

[CBC] Former military ruler who became a 'converted democrat' fought endemic corruption

Former Nigerian president Muhammadu Buhari, who led Africa's most populous country from 2015-23 and was the first Nigerian leader to oust an incumbent through the ballot box, died in London on Sunday, a presidential spokesperson said.

"President Buhari died today in London at about 4:30 p.m., following a prolonged illness," President Bola Tinubu's spokesperson said in a post on social media platform X.

Buhari, 82, who first led the country as a military ruler after a coup in the 1980s, earned a devoted following for his brand of anti-corruption conviction politics.

He referred to himself as a "converted democrat" and swapped his military uniform for kaftans and prayer caps.

"I belong to everybody and I belong to nobody," was a constant refrain Buhari told supporters and critics alike.

Buhari defeated Goodluck Jonathan
... 14th President of Nigeria. He was Governor of Bayelsa State from 9 December 2005 to 28 May 2007, and was sworn in as Vice President on 29 May 2007. Jonathan is a member of the ruling People's Democratic Party (PDP). He is a lover of nifty hats, which makes him easily recognizable unless someone else in the room is wearing a neat chapeau.Other than that he's pretty useless as the Boko Haram debacle shows...
, who served as president from 2010-15, in what was judged to be Nigeria's fairest election to date. Many hoped the retired major-general would crack down on gangs, just as he had as the country's military head of state.

Instead, violence that had mostly been confined to the northeast spread. That left swaths of Nigeria outside the control of its stretched security forces as button men in the northwest, armed separatists and gangs in the southeast roamed unchecked.

Much of Buhari's appeal lay in the anti-corruption ethos that was a central plank of his agenda both as a military and civilian ruler. He said endemic corruption in Nigeria's political culture was holding people back.

But Buhari quickly disappointed after his 2015 win.

He took six months to name his cabinet. During that time, the oil-dependent economy was hobbled by low crude prices, prompting people to call him "Baba Go Slow."

His second victory in 2019 came despite his initial term being blighted by Nigeria's first recession in a generation, murderous Moslem attacks on oilfields and repeated hospital stays.

Born on Dec. 17, 1942, in Daura, in the northwestern state of Katsina, Buhari enrolled in the army at 19. He would eventually rise to the rank of major-general.

He seized power in 1983 as a military ruler, promising to revitalize a mismanaged country. Buhari took a tough line on everything from the conditions sought by the International Monetary Fund to unruliness in bus lineups.

In 1984, his administration attempted to kidnap a former minister and vocal critic living in Britannia. The plot failed when London airport officials opened the crate containing the kidnapped politician.

Buhari's first stint in power was short-lived. He was removed after only 18 months by another military officer, Ibrahim Babangida.

He spent much of the following 30 years in fringe political parties and trying to run for president until his eventual victory over Jonathan in 2015.

[DefconNews] Perhaps not Weather Warfare but cloud seeding nonetheless.

The CEO of a weather modification technology company has confirmed cloud seeding operations took place in Texas just two days before the deadly central Texas flood occurred. NBC News reported that Augustus Doricko, the CEO of Rainmaker, a weather modification company, said planes had released silver iodide in the atmosphere in Texas two days prior to the fatal floods that have claimed over 100 lives.

But claims that did not cause the Texas floods.

Typhoon Nari originates in the Pacific Ocean and threatens Japan and the Kuril Islands
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] Typhoon Nari, the fifth this season, formed in the Ogasawara archipelago, about a thousand kilometers south of Honshu Island. This was reported on July 13 by the Japan Meteorological Administration.

As experts specified, the typhoon will move north for several days, and then change direction and turn northeast. On July 14, it will pass to the east of the Boso Peninsula in close proximity to Tokyo, and then affect the prefectures in the north and northeast of Honshu Island - Ibaraki, Fukushima, Miyagi, Iwate and Aomori.

Further, according to forecasts, on July 15 the typhoon may affect Hokkaido, as well as the Russian Kuril Islands. Wind speed at the epicenter of "Nari" reaches 18 meters per second with gusts up to 25 meters per second.

Earlier, Regnum news agency reported that more than 2,000 houses in Lgov, Kursk, were left without electricity due to the hurricane. In addition, due to the bad weather, 20 houses had their roofs damaged, two industrial buildings and two cars were damaged, and 12 trees fell due to the wind.

On July 9, at the height of abnormal heat in the central regions of the country, a powerful hurricane swept through several regions of Russia. Thus, in Yaroslavl, a child was seriously injured when he was crushed by a lamppost. In the Moscow region, a tree torn out by the wind flattened a car with people inside, as a result of which a 12-year-old girl was injured.

Britain
Tower of Babel: Nearly Two Million Non-Native English Speaking Students in England Schools
[Breitbrt] A report has found that almost two million students do not speak English as their native language in England as a result of the mass migration agenda imposed upon the country by the Westminster establishment.

Freedom of Information requests from the Daily Mail have revealed that in 2,039 schools in England, English is not the first language for the majority of students.

In total, the report found that 1.8 million students are non-native English speakers, or around one in five pupils in the country.

Zeroing in, at the Kobi Nazrul primary school in the Tower Hamlets borough of London, 92 per cent of students speak Bengali as their native tongue, while none were recorded as speaking English at home as their first language.

In a quarter of the 25,000 primary and secondary schools in England, white British students are now a minority in their classrooms.
Another example highlighted was the Pentland Infant Kirklees school in Dewsbury, where the vast majority of students had an Indian language as their mother tongue, with 36 per cent speaking Gujarati and 45 per cent speaking Panjabi.

The number of students without English as their first language has increased significantly over the past decade, during which successive governments have undertaken record levels of immigration.

According to the report, there are now 700,000 more non-native English speaking students compared to ten years ago.

Responding to the figures, Robert Bates of the Centre of Migration Control said that it is a “great shame that we have reached this point, and it is evidence of successive Governments failing to properly address assimilation issues”.

“Multi-language classrooms are hugely problematic. They inevitably sap the precious time of teachers who are forced to devote additional attention to those with a weaker grasp of the language at the expense of those who only speak English,” he said.

Migration Watch UK chairman Alp Mehmet added: “English is the glue that brings and holds us together as a country and helps new arrivals to blend in.

“If teachers have to focus their attention on children who struggle to speak English because the language spoken at home is different, the time devoted to other pupils is bound to diminish.”

The report comes amid increasing discussion surrounding the demographic makeup of the country, with a report last month from Professor Matt Goodwin warning that if current trends continue, white Britons will become a minority in their own country by 2063.

The artificial change of the population due to mass migration would become even more stark by the end of the century, the report found, predicting that just 22.7 per cent of the UK would be white British by 2100.

The demographic changes are already well underway in many schools across England, with a report last month finding that in a quarter of the 25,000 primary and secondary schools in England, white British students are now a minority in their classrooms.

Lost Byzantine city of Tarais from Justinian's time found in Jordan
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] Archaeologists have found the lost Byzantine city of Tarais in Jordan. This was reported by the Gephyra magazine.

The search began in 2021. Archaeologists decided to look for lost cities using a mosaic map made 1,500 years ago, during the time of the Byzantine Emperor Justinian (527–565 AD). It shows 157 sites that were part of the Holy Land of Jordan. This tiled artwork is the oldest map available today that shows all the cities. Most of them have yet to be found by scientists, the publication notes.

The discovery was made by Associate Professor of the Department of Archaeology and Ancient Near Eastern Studies at the Jordanian University of Muta Musallam R. al-Rawahneh. Fieldwork took place near the modern city of El-Iraq on the southeastern shore of the Dead Sea.

Scientists have been finding clues pointing to the existence of Tarais in this region for many years. Thus, the remains of mosaic floors, glassware and various tools were found, which, according to researchers, testified to the existence of an ancient city here.

Scientists were convinced that the recently discovered object was indeed Tarais because everything matched the image of the lost city on the famous Madaba mosaic map. The gates, ruins, and even the towers matched. Religious finds also confirmed this. Archaeologists found details reminiscent of a Byzantine basilica - a building stretched to one side, with an open central room. The team contacted Spanish and French researchers to continue their research.

The excavations brought new surprises – Greek and Latin funerary inscriptions. They confirmed the theological nature of the site, as the finds proved that a Christian community had once flourished in the region.

"The significant position of Tarais on the Madaba map and the discovery of the basilica suggest that it was not just an agricultural village but also a sacred site and a resting place for merchants," al-Rawahneh said.

The lost city of Tarais was once not only religious, but also economically prosperous. This is evidenced by olive presses, windmills and grape-pressing equipment found by archaeologists, the authors of the article noted.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, in early July archaeologists found well-preserved tombs from the Ptolemaic and Roman periods in southern Egypt. The rock-cut tombs were found in a cemetery near the Aga Khan Mausoleum on the western shore of Aswan. Scientists discovered well-preserved hieroglyphic inscriptions there.
