Among them, Mullah Fazel Mazlum, a member of the Taliban office in Qatar

Nobody told them to talk shit about destroying Israel.
'They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
... Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison: Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth.' - From Psalm 83

the official numbers are obviously not reliable
this partly to deceive the population but also because they simply don't have the testing, treatment and pathology infrastructure
if the official numbers were to be believed Iran has been having about the same number of new cases for the past week and about the same number of deaths for the past two weeks

I thought at first this was a satire but evidently not
(KABC) -- An engineer deliberately ran a train off the tracks at high speed near the Port of Los Angeles in an attempt to crash into and damage the USNS Mercy hospital ship, prosecutors say.
The Pacific Harbor Line train derailed Tuesday, running through the end of the track and crashing through barriers, finally coming to rest about 250 yards from the docked naval ship.
Federal prosecutors allege train engineer Eduardo Moreno, 44, of San Pedro intended to hit the ship, saying he thought it was "suspicious" and did not believe "the ship is what they say it's for.'"
The train crashed into a concrete barrier at the end of the track, smashed through a steel barrier and a chain-link fence, slid through one parking lot and then a second lot filled with gravel and hit a second chain-link fence. It came to rest after passing under a ramp leading to the Vincent Thomas Bridge. The train remained in that position Wednesday.
Authorities say Moreno admitted to crashing the train intentionally, but said he did not plan it out in advance. It is believed that he acted alone.
He allegedly made statements to a CHP officer that included "You only get this chance once. The whole world is watching. I had to. People don't know what's going on here. Now they will."
Officials say video from inside the train's cab shows Moreno holding a lighted flare during the incident.
Moreno has been charged with one count of train wrecking, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office. The charge carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in federal prison.

You have to really dig into these. This is a highly unusual act, which must have happened for a highly unusual reason. But the media will never tell you. Don't want anyone asking questions.

Would love to know where he's getting these ideas, and if he has a history of mental illness.

Any conspiracy crackpot site will do, Rob. I see way to many people freaking out that FEMA camps under DIA are coming true.

In other SoCal weirdness news, there were lots of flares off SD Tuesday evening. Hadn't noticed any in months, but suddenly, there they were, in the usual ones and twos, and finally six in a line. Pretty sure it was a coded message to head down to the beach and shoot at Chinese submarines. In any case, the Daily Schlocker reports (h/t Drudge) mass mystification, even consternation, all the way from Tijuana to Laguna Beach. Shirley, we're doomed!

There is an old-timey naval proverb that "A ship is a fool that fights a fort". I don't know any about trains vs ships, so I think we're in uncharted waters here.

^ Bring it on, sez I. Might as well happen while I'm here to see it and as prepped as I'll ever be. Sadly, though, I'm now leaning toward teh "distress signals from indisposed sailors" theory.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
