[Townhall] Lieutenant Alison Russo-Elling, a 25-year veteran of the New York City Fire Department, was attacked and killed in a knife attack while she was working at EMS Station 49 in Queens on Thursday.
In a post on Instagram, FDNY stated the attack on Russo-Elling was unprovoked and she was first responder to the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, "aiding in the rescue and recovery efforts":
"At approximately 2:20pm, Lt. Russo-Elling was on duty in the vicinity of 20th Avenue and Steinway Street in Astoria near her station’s quarters. She was stabbed multiple times in an unprovoked attack. She was transported in critical condition to Mt. Sinai Queens Hospital, where she succumbed to her injuries. Lt. Russo-Elling worked out of Station 49 in Astoria at the time she was killed...She is the 1,158th member of the Department to make the Supreme Sacrifice while serving our city."
The New York City Uniformed Firemen's Association said the organization "and all members of the FDNY are Enraged at the senseless killing and ever increasing violence in our city."
[NYPost] The maniac who allegedly stabbed veteran FDNY T Lt. Alison Russo-Elling to death in an unprovoked Queens attack has been charged with murder, cops said Friday.
Peter Zisopoulous, 34, also faces a weapon possession charge in connection to the senseless attack on the 61-year-old paramedic, who was stabbed more than 20 times at 20th Avenue and 41st Street in Astoria around 2:20 p.m. Thursday, police said.

Zisopoulous followed Russo-Elling before slamming her to the ground, mounting her and relentlessly stabbing her, according to police sources and sickening video of the deadly attack.
A witness confronted the madman, but he snarled, "F—k you, f—k you!" before stepping away from his victim and charging at the scooter-riding pedestrian while still holding the knife, police sources said.
The victim — whose injuries included a deep, lethal wound to the chest — was left unresponsive on the ground after her callous attacker ran off, according to sources and the video.
He was busted after he was chased by a good Samaritan and barricaded himself inside his nearby apartment, NYPD Chief of Detectives James Essig said Thursday.
Police were able to talk him down and take him into custody on the third floor of the apartment.
Russo-Elling had gone to grab food when Zisopoulous allegedly stabbed her in what authorities said was a random and completely unprovoked attack.
"At this point in the investigation there doesn’t appear to have been any prior contact between them," an FDNY source said. "He just walked toward her, sped up and then stabbed her to death."

Probably a bad idea for violent people to discourage EMT response to their neighborhoods. Of course, violent and demon-infested individuals are not strong on rationality.

"You'll get a fair trial followed by a first class hanging."--Judge Roy Bean
Expeditiously. If the facts are thus then put down like any other rabid animal.
The 34-year-old suspect, who was charged with second-degree murder and weapons possession raps Friday in connection with the horrific slaying, had been transported by the unit to Elmhurst Hospital in April 2018 for being emotionally disturbed, law enforcement sources said.
He had allegedly made anti-Asian threats over Facebook and was listed as diagnosed with schizophrenia, the sources said.
The multiplatinum R&B singer R. Kelly has been ordered to pay at least $300,000 in restitution to some of his victims, a federal judge said on Wednesday.
A federal judge of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York ruled said the money will compensate two women, known as Jane and Stephanie, for the costs of therapy and herpes treatment.
U.S. District Judge Ann Donnelly made the ruling in the early afternoon of Wednesday, September 28.
"Of the aforementioned sum, $300,668.18 will be paid to a survivor of Kelly’s sex crimes identified pseudonymously as Jane, with the remaining $8,400 going to another victim referred to by the court as Stephanie."
According to CBS, the government will recalculate the amount owed to Stephanie, meaning she’ll most likely receive more than the amount initially allotted to her. The money is meant to go toward covering the projected costs of therapy and herpes treatment for Kelly’s victims. Kelly also owes the court $140,000 in fines and assessments.
Donnelly denied prosecutors’ requests to compensate Jane for lost income, and provide any compensation to a third victim known as Sonja.
Kelly who has been convicted twice this year of sex crimes attended the hearing via Zoom from a federal prison in reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown ...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel... Prosecutors said the 55-year-old Kelly exploited his stardom and wealth over more than two decades to lure women and underage girls into his orbit for sex.
Donnelly sentenced Kelly in June to 30 years in prison, after a jury convicted him of racketeering and other charges.
On September 9, Judge Donnelly ruled that $27,828 (all but $500) could be seized from Kelly’s prison commissary account to pay a court fine and restitution to Kelly’s victims. She sentenced him to 30 years in prison in June, nine months after his September 2021 conviction on nine counts of sex trafficking and racketeering.
On September 14 of this year, Kelly was found guilty on three counts of child pornography and three counts of enticement of a minor in Chicago federal court. He also faces two felony counts of sexual misconduct in Minnesota for allegedly "engaging in, hiring, or agreeing to hire a minor to engage in prostitution."

The US Army's first trans officer and her wife, a doctor at Johns Hopkins, have been indicted for attempting to pass medical records of senior military officers and their families to the Russian government.
Major Jamie Lee Henry, 39, and Dr. Anna Gabrielian, 36, were accused of using their secret security clearance at North Carolina's Fort Bragg to steal the records from the base's hospital, according to the Department of Justice.
[Breitbart] Bodycam video released this week by Pierce County, Washington, investigators shows an officer pull his service rifle out of a bag over 180 yards from a suspect and take the suspect out with one shot.
The man, 40-year-old Peter T. Collins, was allegedly shooting at officers, which is what prompted the call on the individual.
The Star Tribune reports that Collins allegedly fired 15 rounds at officers as they responded to an assault call on August 28. Collins’s nephew is the one who called 911, warning that Collins had “two to three guns” and might try to shoot officers.
Three officers responded to the call. Collins exchanged gunfire with the first around 2:56 p.m., after which the first officer warned that Collins was shooting with a rifle.
Collins exchanged gunfire with another officer about three minutes later. At 3:01 p.m. officer Christopher Munn pulled up and parked his police vehicle just over 180 yards away.
Collins allegedly shot at Munn, who then exited his vehicle, retrieved a rifle, and took one shot, striking Collins in the chest.
Pierce County investigators indicate that Collins also shot himself, but they did not detail where he did so.
The investigators ruled that the cause of death was “homicide from a rifle wound to the chest.”
In all, Collins was armed with two rifles and two handguns.

[Breitbart] Palantir, the data analytics company founded by Peter Thiel, has been awarded a contract by the Department of Defense to develop artificial intelligence and machine learning for all branches of the U.S. armed forces, as well as Special Forces and the Joint Staff.
The work to be undertaken by Palantir, which focuses on data analytics, is linked to Project Maven, the Google-led effort to develop AI capabilities for the Pentagon. However, Google ditched the project after a backlash from its employees.
Bloomberg now reports that Palantir is reaping the benefits from Google’s decision to back out. Palantir also renewed its contract with the intelligence wing of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), another branch of the government that leftist-dominated companies often decline to work with.
Via Bloomberg / Yahoo Finance:
Palantir, co-founded by conservative billionaire Peter Thiel, has made support of the US and its allies core to the company’s identity. Thiel has attacked Palantir rival Google for eschewing work with military applications. Palantir’s latest deal is part of a program previously known as Project Maven, which made headlines in 2018 after employees at Alphabet Inc.’s Google objected to developing AI capabilities for the Defense Department. Google ditched the contract and Palantir took the lead, using AI and machine learning to improve existing video recognition software and analysis to increase the accuracy of actions like drone strikes.
Earlier this week, Palantir announced another deal with the US, renewing its contract with Homeland Security Investigations, a division of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE. The latest contract is worth $95.9 million over a five-year period, the company said. Palantir has received criticism for its work with ICE in the past.
Palantir announced the Pentagon contract, which is worth up to $229 million over one year, on Thursday.
[Johnathon Turley] New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is the latest liberal leader to call for an international alliance to censor speech. Unsatisfied with the unprecedented corporate censorship of social media companies, leaders like Hillary Clinton have turned from private censorship to good old-fashioned state censorship. Speech regulation has become an article of faith on the left. Ardern used her speech this week to the United Nations General Assembly to call for censorship on a global scale.
Ardern lashed out at "disinformation" and called for a global coalition to control speech. After nodding toward free speech, she proceeded to lay out a plan for its demise through government regulation:
But what if that lie, told repeatedly, and across many platforms, prompts, inspires, or motivates others to take up arms. To threaten the security of others. To turn a blind eye to atrocities, or worse, to become complicit in them. What then?
This is no longer a hypothetical. The weapons of war have changed, they are upon us and require the same level of action and activity that we put into the weapons of old.
We recognized the threats that the old weapons created. We came together as communities to minimize these threats. We created international rules, norms and expectations. We never saw that as a threat to our individual liberties — rather, it was a preservation of them. The same must apply now as we take on these new challenges.
Ardern noted how extremists use speech to spread lies without noting that non-extremists use the same free speech to counter such views. To answer her question on "how do you tackle climate change if people do not believe it exists" is that you convince people using the same free speech. Instead, Ardern appears to want to silence those who have doubts. Put them all to the sword. They MUST be silenced.
While referring to a global censorship coalition as a "light-touch approach to disinformation," Ardern revealed how sweeping such a system would likely be. She defended the need for such global censorship on having to combat those who question climate change and the need to stop "hateful and dangerous rhetoric and ideology."

The majority of people are still unaware of the issue due to the successful censorship campaign. Eventually, keeping a lid on an increasing amount of factual material will build enough pressure for a spectacular explosion. The vaccines seem to have had no benefits leaving only side-effects.

[Red State] It was only a matter of time before the numbers bore out what the American people were already feeling in their pocketbooks and telling pollsters back in June. In the latest review of economic data on Thursday, meant to take the temperature of the U.S. gross domestic product for the second quarter of 2022, the U.S. economy has shrunk for the second consecutive quarter. That’s traditionally marked the beginning of a recession.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] ...in exchange for cryptocurrency and $85,000 This is not the trans Army major and his/her Johns Hopkins doctor wife, but another one, who also thought his personal undercover FBI agent was a real live Russian operative.
A man who worked for the NSA for one month was charged with attempting to sell Top Secret information to the Russian government
Jareh Sebastion Dalke, 30, of Colorado Springs has been charged with three counts of violating the Espionage Act
Dalke communicated for a month with a man he believed to be an agent of the Russian government but was in reality an undercover FBI agent
If convicted, he could face up to life in prison or the death penalty
But the contact was actually an undercover FBI agent, according to an indictment filed Thursday.
Dalke began communication on July 29, 2022 via encrypted email with an individual he believed was associated with the Kremlin, but who was actually an FBI agent.
Dalke worked for just one month as an Information Systems Security Designer from June 6 of this year to July 1. In late July, however, he told the undercover FBI agent that he was still in the employ of the US government.
Though he was not employed by the NSA during the time he was communicating with the undercover FBI agent, he re-applied to the NSA in August as he was actively attempting to sell US secrets.
Allegedly, Dalke reached out to the FBI's online covert employee, who he thought was an agent of Russia, and said he'd 'recently learned that my heritage ties back to your country, which is part of why I have come to you.'
He continued his traitorous messages by saying he was reaching out because he has 'questioned our role in damage to the world in the past and by mixture of curiosity for secrets and a desire to cause change.'
In order to prove he had access to sensitive information, Dalke sent excerpts of several classified documents to the undercover agent - one at the Secret level and two at the Top Secret level.
He also expressed financial need during the communications.
Dalke was arrested on September 28 in Denver, Colorado, where he had agreed to meet the FBI agent to hand over classified information.
The FBI says Dalke was a volunteer with the Colorado Rangers, a reserve law enforcement agency. In his own resume, Dalke described himself as a lieutenant and commander of the digital crimes unit of the Colorado Rangers, according to CBS.

Everyone wants to sing of their latest achievement from the DailyMail rooftop, just WTF is secret anymore? Other than dirty secrets of the pimps in the whitehouse.
Colonel Ronald M Abramson, agency chief for the Colorado Rangers, confirmed to CBS News Colorado that Dalke had been associated with the Rangers' reserve force, which has a little over 70 reserve officers. Dalke started working with the Rangers in 2019 after passing a full background check and psychological evaluation.
"We are enormously disappointed in the allegations but we have to wait for the federal process to run its course," he told CBS News Colorado.
He said his agency is learning of this at the same time everyone else is. Dalke is suspended, pending a resolution of the case.
Dalke identified himself as a lieutenant of their digital crimes unit but no such unit exists, according to Abramson. He went on to say that Dalke is a sergeant who lead a small team of reserve officers. Dalke was based in Colorado Springs and had done work for Monument Police and Woodland Park Police in the past.

[GREATERKASHMIR] The national airline of the country -- Pakistain International Airlines (PIA) -- has a new rule for its cabin crew: 'Wear undergarments', media reports said.
In a strange development, PIA has told its air crew that wearing undergarments is a must, Geo News reported.
PIA has claimed that lack of better attire by air attendants is leaving a "poor impression" and "portrays a negative image" of the airline.
"It has been observed with great concern that a few cabin crew tend to dress casually while travelling intercity, staying in hotels and visiting various suffices. Such dressing leaves a poor impression on the viewer and portrays a negative image of not only the individual, but also of the organization," an internal instruction memo sent by PIA General Manager (Flight Services), Aamir Bashir, read, Geo News reported.
Bashir asked the cabin crew to "dress properly" in formal plain clothes over "proper undergarments".
"The clothing worn by males and females should be in accordance with our cultural and national morals," the guidelines read.
The grooming officials have been instructed to monitor cabin crew "at all times" and report back if there is any "deviation" from the rules, Geo News reported.
