[IsraelTimes] Police apprehended 35-year-old suspect who sprayed liquid on floor of lawmaker’s office before setting it ablaze; building interior damaged, but no casualties reported
A man was charged on Sunday with setting a fire outside the Vermont office of US Sen. Bernie Sanders ...The only first openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords. He ran for the 2016 nomination for president, to be cheated out of it by Hillary Clinton, then went back to being an Independent socialist, waiting for 2020 to roll around... , federal prosecutors said.
Shant Soghomonian, 35, who was previously of Northridge, Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,, entered the building on Friday and went to Sanders’ third-floor office where security video showed him spraying a liquid on the door and setting it afire, officials said.
The building’s interior suffered some damage from the fire and sprinklers that doused the area with water, but no one was hurt. Sanders, an independent, was not in the office at the time.
Soghomonian was arrested Sunday on a charge of using fire to damage a building used in interstate commerce, according to a statement from Nikolas Kerest, the US attorney for Vermont.
The motive remained unclear. Soghomonian was detained Sunday and could not be reached for comment. It was not immediately known if he had a lawyer, and an initial court appearance had not been set, officials said.
The crime carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.
The case was investigated by police departments in Burlington, Shelburne and Williston; Vermont State Police; the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; and US Capitol Police, officials said.
Police said they believe Shant Michael Soghomonian, 33, was hanging around Sanders’ Burlington office the day before the fire and said he had been a "long-term guest" at a Chittenden County hotel.
Inn at Burlington staff, who recognized Soghomonian from an image released by police, told authorities that the man had stayed at the hotel for "several weeks" or "close to two months."
Police matched Soghomian to security camera images from the Inn at Burlington, wearing what appeared to be a similar orange winter hat in which he was seen around the time of the arson.
In an affidavit, Eric Brimo, a special agent with the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, wrote that Shelburne Police located Soghomonian’s Subaru Impreza, with New York plates, at the Quality Inn in Shelburne early Sunday morning.
Hotel staff informed police which room Soghomonian was staying in and that he was due for checkout later that morning, according to the affidavit.
After knocking on his door and requesting entrance, "officers then heard what sounded like the individual dragging heavy items near the door," Brimo wrote.
Fearing a barricade, officers requested a key to the door but found their entrance blocked, according to the affidavit. Upon forcing entry, police took Soghomonian into custody.
No court date appears to have been set for Soghomonian. He’s currently held at Northwest State Correctional Facility in St. Albans, according to Vermont’s inmate locator.

Someone wanted attention. If he meant something serious he should have lighted up one of Bernie's mansions. A socialist with mansions? Why, yes. That would be interesting.
[NYPOST] A US Air Force civilian contractor was killed when she walked into a drone’s rotating propeller at a Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, airfield — after losing "situational awareness" while glued to a data-recording device, officials say.
Stephanie Cosme, 32, was fatally injured when she "inadvertently" stumbled into the moving propeller of a parked MQ-9A Reaper drone at Gray Butte Airfield on Sept. 7, according to a new statement from Air Force Materiel Command summing up the findings of a report on the accident.
"Without looking up to determine her position relative to the aircraft, [Cosme] proceeded to walk directly into the propeller of the [aircraft] sustaining fatal injuries," stated the final investigation report released Friday. Won't do that again
In his statement of opinion, Accident Investigation Board President Brig. Gen. Lance French identified two causes for the accident.
First, Cosme was incorrectly instructed or trained on how to take data readings when approaching a drone while its engine is running.
Second, "she lost situational awareness" while walking around the unmanned aircraft taking readings with a hand-held measurement device, the report stated.

Think about it. A device that has no other job but to warn you you are too close to a running propeller isn't anything elaborate. My frigging cellphone warns me when lightning is nearby.

[MAIL] The View co-hosts had a heated debate on Monday as they tried to explain the science behind the total solar eclipse, which saw millions of Americans taking to the streets to view the rare celestial phenomenon. Hostin, 55, began by asserting that the total solar eclipse, the 4.8-magnitude earthquake that rocked New York City last week, and the imminent arrival of trillions of red-eyed insects are possible signs of climate change. 'We have a solar eclipse. We have the earthquake,' Hostin said. 'All those factors together might lead one to believe that either climate change exists or something significant is happening.' Co-host Joy Behar countered her claims, saying: 'Except earthquakes are not at the mercy of climate change. It's underground. It can't.'
A quick look shows references to Global Warming in 1817, 1922, Fascism linked to Global warming in 1941, the World about to end from Global Warming in 1947, 1951, ICE AGE 1970-1979 coming, , Global warming 1980's to summarize how many times they were wrong.
Seriously, the only undeniable claims regarding Climate Change I've seen so far?
The Doomsayers, businesses & the media make $$Millions pimping it.
Governments uses it to dictate draconian lifestyle controls.
Politicians use it for election.
and generates $$$Billions in taxes, to be spend elsewhere.

[AFRICANEWS] In a video unveiled by leading Zim-bob-wean newspaper The Sunday Mail, president Emmerson Mnangagwa dismissed allegations he would run for an unconstitutional third term.
"There is not an iota of evidence where Zanu PF or I, as President, has ever expressed the violation of our Constitution," the 81-year-old said.
"We in Zanu PF are very democratic and we obey the Constitution."
"We in Zanu PF are very democratic and we obey the Constitution."
Zanu PF, the ruling party has reigned over Zim-bob-we since independence.
Much attention has been drawn to a slogan heard at Zanu PF rallies in recent months ’2030 vaMnangagwa vanenge vachipo’ (loosely translated as ’2030 Mnangagwa will still be president’).
The party secured a supermajority in Parliament last February in disputed by-elections.

[REGNUM] On April 7, early in the morning, Rwandan President Paul Kagame lit a flame of remembrance at the Gisozi memorial. Five thousand guests, including more than thirty heads of state, government, former presidents and representatives of international organizations, gathered around a black stage with a large illuminated tree in the center. Rwanda marks the 30th anniversary of the genocide of the Tutsi, an event significant not only for the African continent, but also for the entire world politics. This is confirmed by the composition of the guests. Current and former leaders include Congolese President Denis Sassou Nguesso and South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, European Council President Charles Michel, former French President Nicolas Sarkozy, and former US President Bill Clinton, who led the White House during the Rwandan genocide.

[REGNUM] When, on the evening of April 5, military equipment began to arrive at the Mexican Embassy in Quito, observers, of course, thought that something at least interesting was being prepared. But it was somehow inconvenient to assume that President Daniel Noboa would risk ordering an assault on a foreign mission. After all, 2024 is just around the corner. Although, if you look at things more objectively, by 2024, everyday naivety will have long been out of trend, as will international law.

[AG] According to the late Angelo Codevilla, a veteran staffer of the Senate Intelligence Community, U.S. intelligence has few assets in China, human or technical, capable of rendering information on the Wuhan lab. On the other hand, the Epidemic Intelligence Service (EIS), the CDC’s "medical CIA" is well suited for the task. Angelo Codevilla, what could he have possibly known ?
The mission of the EIS is to prevent epidemics from arriving on American soil. The intrepid EIS failed to stop the Covid virus from arriving stateside, and their failure has not been subjected to investigation. In early 2020, EIS veteran Dr. Nancy Messonnier, the sister of Rod Rosenstein, delivered a series of press briefings that faithfully echoed China’s talking points.
"We are proud of our training and service in the EIS, promoting CDC’s vital mission to protect the health of the American people," claims an October 14, 2020 "Open Letter by Epidemic Intelligence Service Officers Past and Present — in Support of CDC." As the letter explains, "the US epidemic is sustained by deadly chains of transmission that crisscross the entire country."
