Shades of the Hutaree
[Jpost] A group of men who united via a neo-Nazi forum were criminally charged last week after allegedly devising a terrorist attack on the power grid in Idaho and the US Northwest, the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced.
On Friday, Paul James Kryscuk, 35, Liam Collins, 21, Jordan Duncan, 26, and Joseph Maurino, 22, were indicted in North Carolina. According to the DOJ document, Collins and Duncan are former Marines previously assigned to Camp Lejeune in Jacksonville, North Carolina. The defendants are charged with conspiracy to damage the property of an energy facility in the US, the document states.
According to the accusations, the defendants researched, discussed, and reviewed in depth a previous attack on the power grid by an unknown group. The group in the earlier attack used assault-style rifles in an attempt to explode a power substation. Between 2017 and 2020, Kryscuk produced firearms while Collins stole military gear, including magazines for assault-style rifles and had them delivered to the other defendants. During that time, Duncan gathered a collected information, some military-owned, regarding firearms, explosives, and nerve toxins.
The indictment also states that the group members discussed using homemade Thermite, a combination of metal powder and metal oxide which burns at over 4000°F to destroy power transformers.
In mid-2020, Collins allegedly asked the group to each buy 50 pounds of Tannerite, a binary explosive containing aluminum powder and oxidizers, and can be used to make Thermite. Later that year, a handwritten list of approximately one dozen intersections and places in Idaho and nearby states was found in Kryscuk’s possession, including places with components of the power grid for the northwest US. The harm caused, if destroyed, could exceed $100,000.
Court documents claim that Collins and Kryscuk met each other on the now-defunct online neo-Nazi medium Iron March and used the forum to recruit the others. According to court documents, Collins wrote on the forum that he hoped the group would be "a modern-day SS," referring to the infamous Nazi force.
Their training was administered in a desert area near Boise, Idaho, Newsweek reported. A propaganda video the group recorded during training shows participants dressed in masks associated with the neo-Nazi group AtomWaffen Division firing assault rifles before displaying the "Heil Hitler" sign under a Nazi symbol. The video ends with a message stating "come home white man."
If convicted, Collins, Duncan, Kryscuk and Maurino could each face up to 40 years in prison.

[NYPOST] Police on Tuesday released video and a photo of the suspected gunman who opened fire outside Penn Station Monday night, striking an innocent bystander from New Jersey.
The alleged gunman, wearing black pants, a black shirt and lugging a red backpack, is seen getting off an escalator at the transit hub after wounding the 58-year-old victim.
Police said the shooting happened around 5:50 p.m. when the suspect got into an argument with another man, possibly over food.
Cops said the argument ensued outside the NJ Transit entrance at Seventh Avenue and West 31st Street when the suspect approached his intended target, who was eating at the time.
"At this point, we know that we have two individuals, one of which is eating food," Police Commissioner Dermot Shea said at a briefing at the scene Monday night.
"The shooter comes up to the male that’s eating food, possibly asking for some food," Shea said. "He’s kind of shunned away, and that kind of spills onto the street here. We do not believe they knew each other prior to this interaction."
Shea said the suspect followed the 56-year-old would-be target outside and opened fire, missing him but hitting the bystander, police said.
The maimed man was hit in the leg and taken to Bellevue Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, according to police.
[NYPOST] A liquor company CEO has been identified as the man who was allegedly high on acid when he plummeted to his death at Citi Field, police said.Ian Matthew Crystal died Friday after falling 30 to 50 feet during intermission at the Dead & Company show, an NYPD front man confirmed Monday.
The 46-year-old Brooklyn resident was a co-founder of the New York-based Evolution Spirits, according to his LinkedIn page.
Sources said Crystal allegedly took acid before the fatal plunge and had been drinking and smoking pot beforehand.
The late entrepreneur served as CEO of Evolution Spirits, the creator of Monkey Rum from Trinidad that’s available in 11 states. The liquor was developed out of a challenge in 2014 to create a new brand to support the National Geographic Channel show "Chug," according to Crystal’s LinkedIn profile.

[C4IsrNet] Drone pilots beware: Authorities at one of the United States’ top nuclear weapons laboratories issued a warning Monday that airspace over Los Alamos National Laboratory is off limits.
The birthplace of the atomic bomb, Los Alamos lab reported that recent unauthorized drone flights have been detected in restricted airspace in the area.
Officials said if you fly a drone over the lab, you likely will lose it.
"We can detect and track a UAS (unmanned aircraft system), and if it poses a threat, we have the ability to disrupt control of the system, seize or exercise control, confiscate or use reasonable force to disable, damage or destroy the UAS," said Unica Viramontes, senior director of lab security.
The lab would not release any specifics about how the system works, citing security protocols. They also would not say how many unauthorized flights have occurred in recent months.
Lab officials also warned of the potential for "collateral interceptions" of normal commercial or hobbyist drone flights, saying pilots should stay well outside the lab’s restricted airspace and the additional no-drone zone designated by the Federal Aviation Administration.
According to the FAA, drones are prohibited from flying over sites designated as national security-sensitive facilities. Aside from military bases and other Defense Department sites, restrictions are in place for national landmarks and certain critical infrastructure such as nuclear power plants.

ICE DATA Remember to make a mental note as you read this in that currently CBP has a less than 48% capture rate for illegal border crossings.
ICE politically screened and provided data as of 08/20/2021.
25,512 of the 306,313 detainees tested, 8.32% were found infected.
We also know reading around the way the ICE data is provided.
ICE as of 08/22/2021 claims only to be holding 1,248 COVID-19 Infected persons in custody.
So the question is: If ICE is only claiming to hold 1,248 infected Illegal immigrants now. Then what did it do with the 280,801 it acknowledges it found infected so far this year?

Pure waste? Rather a design decision like the F-111s that deliberately leaked hydraulic fluid so that the actuators wouldn't have clogs in flight. The early F-111s actually had drip pans the ground crew placed under their wings on the ground and, as an USAF vet told me "You could tell that F-111s were on the base when you got near the runways from the smell of the hydraulics".
#6
Once had a ride on a USMC C130 out of Corpus Christi. There was a steady trickle of red hydraulic fluid running down along the inside airframe (they were using Dextron; long story).
Crew chief said if the leak stopped, to let him know.

IIRC, Robert Goddard chose Roswell, NM for the fact that he could easily get LOX from TX via the ATSF railroad since it was a by product of the time (ca1930's) of the natural gas industry. There is a liquid gas plant next to Patrick AFB. There is also a new one in Lakeland near the power plant.
[NRA] FAIRFAX, Va. — Due to concern over the safety of our NRA family and community, we regret to inform you that we have decided to cancel the 2021 Annual Meeting & Exhibits. This cancellation applies to all events and meetings that were scheduled in Houston. We will provide future notification regarding a rescheduled date for the annual Meeting of Members.
We make this difficult decision after analyzing relevant data regarding COVID-19 in Harris County, Texas. We also consulted with medical professionals, local officials, major sponsors & exhibitors, and many NRA members before arriving at this decision. The NRA Annual Meeting welcomes tens of thousands of people, and involves many events, meetings, and social gatherings. Among the highlights of our annual meeting are acres of exhibit space featuring the latest and greatest firearms, the display of countless accessories, and the offering of adventures and group gatherings that many travel hundreds, and some even thousands, of miles to experience. We realize that it would prove difficult, if not impossible, to offer the full guest experience that our NRA members deserve.
The NRA’s top priority is ensuring the health and well-being of our members, staff, sponsors, and supporters. We are mindful that NRA Annual Meeting patrons will return home to family, friends and co-workers from all over the country, so any impacts from the virus could have broader implications. Those are among the reasons why we decided to cancel our 2021 event. Last year it was COVID. This year it's vendors pulling out. Those who feel the COVID issue has brought out the worst in some commenters here should take some time to see what's happening in the comments on 2A blogs. If you don't want Wayne LaPierre drawn and quartered, you deserve to be cast into the outer dark yourself, many feel. I think the guy should have been gone a while ago, but that would involve a leadership responsive to its members. That seems to be a big problem in many places these days...

Direct translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[UAWire] Major General, Valery Zaluzhny has been appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, replacing Ruslan Khomchak.
General Zaluzhny was formerly Commander of the Pivnich (North) Operational Command.
Khomchak headed the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces for two years. He says that during this time, the Ukrainian army has become closer to NATO and is ready to respond to a possible escalation by Russia.
Khomchak led the withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from Ilovaisk in 2014, for which he is often criticized because of the huge losses of the Ukrainian military. Volodymyr Zelensky appointed Khomchak head of the General Staff immediately after assuming the presidency..
President Zelensky wants to see synergy between the Ministry of Defense and the Armed Forces of Ukraine, said presidential press secretary Serhiy Nikiforov.
Khomchak moves to the post of First Deputy Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council.
The new Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces General Zaluzhny was born on July 8, 1973, in the city of Novohrad-Volynskyi, Zhytomyr region.
Zaluzhny has been in the Donbas since 2014.
"For me, the war began in mid-July 2014, when I was appointment a deputy commander of sector C, formed in the Donetsk region. Since then, I led almost all the army units that were created there. I reached the position of Chief of Staff of the Joint Forces Operation," Zaluzhny said.
In 2017, Zaluzhny became Chief of Staff, First Deputy Commander of the Operational Command West of the Land Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and in 2018, Chief of the Joint Operational Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and First Deputy Commander of the Joint Forces Operation.
On December 9, 2019, Zaluzhny became the commander of Operational Command North.
[TASS] The AK-12 assault rifle developed by the Kalashnikov firearms manufacturer (part of the state tech corporation Rostec) will become the basic weapon for Russian troops in the coming years, the Kalashnikov press office told TASS at the Army 2021 international military-technical forum on Tuesday.
"The AK-12 has served as a replacement for the AK-74 since 2018 and will become the basic gun of the Russian Armed Forces in the next few years," the press office said.
The Kalashnikov gunmaker has launched production of upgraded AK-12 automatic weapons, it said.
"The AK-12’s final design, shaped following its operational evaluation by troops, was featured at the Army 2020 forum. Now the Kalashnikov is producing this AK model already taking into account all improvements," the press office informed.
The AK-12 has been upgraded to get the capability to use round-the-clock sights, it said. AKA Tritium sights which are useful for night and all weather use, and which do not require batteries.
"The AK-12 provides for its 24/7 employment and is distinguished by good ergonomics and accuracy. Its design has been fully tested and the customer confirms this. The assault rifle is set to become the basic weapon of the Russian soldier for decades to come. The experience of its operation in the troops confirms that the assigned task has been accomplished in full," the Kalashnikov press office said. Same cartridge, same rate of fire. The only change is the claim as to its accuracy.
The Kalashnikov Group, the creator of the world-renowned AK-47 assault rifle, signed a contract with Russia’s Defense Ministry at the Army 2021 international military-technical forum earlier on Tuesday on the delivery of AK-12 automatic weapons to the Russian troops. Rostec still will make a 7.62x39mm version for special forces, and others.

Hornady had a brass cartridge for the 5.45x39mm about 18 months ago, before they were discontinued. The anti-Russian ban sucks for sure, (I use Silver Bear 60 grain in my AK-74) but I am confident that the Russians will move production to another east European country (Prvi Partizan comes to mind) so production and prices will return to normal.
At least, that's the plan.
As for seeing this rifle in America, recall it's just another AK-74 with an improved barrel, improved sights, and dedicated rails. It uses the same cartridge the Russian Army uses (7N6 (53 grain slug)). My best guess is that someone in America will come up with an after market Tritium sight for the AK family.

Yes indeed. Rail traffic for two weeks was nonexistent from the West Coast to the east coast. The state to state truck traffic first of the month will halt also. Seems they want to mandate truckers show proof of vaccine jab. Sales reps say first of month price increases on all products. Make more money on the few things they are able to supply. Then they blame in every industry their problems are that people don't want to work. $25,000 sign on bonuses if they come to work but that doesn't even work. Some(trucking industry) offered $5,000; get the bonus,then move on to another company.

Isn't it interesting that 'blame' (according to the media and central planners) is generally placed upon the consumer, worker, and indolent citizen, never the oppressive government system ?
ALSO
If you have been watching the Food store shelves for certain items. You may have noticed a growing number of shortages in the last few weeks.
BTW: In the past few months, we are finding 2nd tier food stores (Aldi's, Lilda's & Dollar Tree etc...) to have better supplies and prices than Wally World.
Plus based on a wide difference in taste & package lot # data. It seems WW maybe using multiple alternative vendors for some items, in trying to acquire supplies.

Want more cyber security people? Try paying them more and stop undercutting IT job security with the indentured slaves on H1B visas. And chop support for college programs for anything other than STEM. The nation doesn’t need more women’s studies grads or gender studies “experts”, so top subsidizing them. Take their money and put it into the hard sciences, math, technology, and engineering departments. Make the socialist science crap pay all their own costs - credit for STEM are free, all others have to pay for their own programs departments and professors via credit hour tuition
[C4IsrNet] The new U.S. Air Force secretary says he’s skeptical about current plans to build the service’s Advanced Battle Management System, signaling the program could be heading for an overhaul.
“I want to focus it more on specific operational return on investment,” Frank Kendall told Defense News in a Aug. 13 interview. “Where do we get the most improvement in performance operationally in the battlefield, for investments in that type of technology?”
“I don’t think we’ve thought thoroughly enough about where that type of technology can have the most impact and how to get there as quickly as we can,” he said. “I want to emphasize fielded, meaningful military capability, not just a demonstration that you show what cool thing you could do, but real capability in the hands of operators.”
The goal of the ABMS program is to create an “internet of things” for the military that would provide the technical infrastructure to connect all platforms and sensors, allowing information to flow freely among them. The service is also interested in integrating artificial intelligence technologies that could parse information and aid in decision making.
But in Kendall’s view, the program has yet to answer important questions about what information will be transmitted and why, what results it is aiming to achieve and how those results will be an improvement on current command-and-control capabilities.

There was a 60es story by Poul Anderson (name escapes me). The bad guy is connected to a computer that gives him an IQ of 1000 - but he's still an idiot.
Did you know that a story by Harlan Ellison was the inspiration for The Terminator, the whole Skynet premise? Story goes, Ellison was uncredited by the makers although they took the idea for an evil AI and humanoid killbot from his work. So he encountered Cameron at a party and punched him in the face. Being a black belt he musta caused good pain too.
Since then, whenever the credits roll, Harlan Ellison is always mentioned. One of my favourite writers.

If decision making itself is left to AI, that'd be something. We could start with courts.
A networked microchip array and a few SSDs could deliver in a second what a thousand judges and district attorneys and two thousand clerks couldn't in months.
Adapting the thing to battle would be far iffier. But policywise, AI would slay.
