[PJMedia] The U.S. Forest Service began receiving calls about fires in secluded sections of woods in southwest Oregon, including regions accessible only by river or roads owned by the Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management.
Witnesses reported seeing a lone man walking along a gravel road starting fires.
Ground and helicopter teams dealt with the fires, and three local residents located a suspect, 30-year-old Trennon Smith of Veneta, Ore.
Smith became combative with the three people, who summarily tied him to a tree to wait for the police. Smith was treated for an injury he allegedly sustained while falling down and then taken to jail. He is being charged with two counts of first-degree arson and one count of reckless burning. He is being held on a $100,000 bond.
A few Twitter peeps began asking if Smith is a member of the non-binary, gender-free street mob, Antifa.
A search of the Facebook profile believed to belong to Smith revealed nothing that would lead one to believe Smith is involved in Antifa.
The quick actions of emergency crews and the local residents stopped what could have been a disaster, according to Sheriff John Ward.
“The cooperation and partnership between all agencies when something like this occurs is remarkable. The quick actions on getting the fires out most certainly averted a catastrophe and saved lives,” Ward announced.
“If the fires had not been contained and if they got out of control, they could have blocked all the residents and visitors from having an escape route,” Ward told AP News.
[FOX5] DALLAS, Texas - A woman claims that she and a young girl who went to a Taco Bell in Dallas, Texas, were left feeling like they were "burning from the inside out" after a store manager allegedly covered them in boiling water. I'm not sure boiling them alive is the approved punishment for starting a fight in a Taco Bell.
A lawsuit filed July 13 in Dallas County Circuit Court claims that Brittany Davis and the daughter of Kira Davis identified only as "C.T." complained repeatedly that their order had not been prepared properly, when an employee threatened to fight them before the manager doused them in hot water, causing significant pain and disfigurement.
"Due to the scalding water that remained in their clothes against their bodies, C.T. and Brittany felt like they were ’burning from the inside out,’" the complaint states. "The store they believed would be [a] place of service and safety quickly turned into [a] place of horrors."
Attorneys for the plaintiffs in the case filed a temporary injunction to release security video of the incident to both parties in the lawsuit, prompting Attorney Ben Crump to share the footage.

One of the directors for George Soros' Open Society Foundations who specializes in public health, Sebastian Köhn, shares in the Guardian how he had sex with multiple men in a weekend for NYC Pride & contracted both #monkeypox & gonorrhea. He blames the system for failing him.
“The system” is apparently how some people say, “I couldn’t keep it zipped or even just cover it up because I’m oppressed.”
Stupidity has consequences.

[Epoch Times] Canada and Ireland are rolling out policies to force their farmers to cut carbon emissions to a point that the farmers say would affect food production. Despite the potential negative consequences, the policies would seem to only achieve minute results for the "decarbonization" agenda.
Some Canadian provincial officials recently criticized their federal government for setting a goal of cutting emissions from synthetic fertilizer use by 30 percent by 2030 without first consulting the provinces "on what is achievable or attainable."
"Provinces pushed the federal government to discuss this important topic, but were disappointed to learn that the target is already set," Saskatchewan and Alberta ministers of agriculture said in a July 22 statement.
"This has been the most expensive crop anyone has put in, following a very difficult year on the prairies," Alberta Minister of Agriculture Nate Horner said in the release.
"The world is looking for Canada to increase production and be a solution to global food shortages. The Federal government needs to display that they understand this." Seems to be working out really well in Holland.
Meanwhile, the Canadian fertilizer industry already has a program called 4R Nutrient Stewardship that would, if rolled out across the major farming areas, cut emissions by 15 to 22 percent while also boosting profits by using fertilizers more efficiently. The government’s insistence on the 30 percent figure thus translates to a reduction of about 0.1—0.2 percent of Canada’s 2019 emissions and about 0.002—0.005 percent of world emissions beyond what the industry works to achieve on its own.
Ireland is in a similar situation. Agriculture Minister Charlie McConalogue is reportedly about to agree to a 27 or 28 percent carbon emission reduction goal for his sector.

Fracking is nothing new. I once worked for a drilling supply company than sold a downhole rig that had stacked shaped charges to break up the rock formation. There's not a pool of oil down there, it's oil saturated rock. Hydraulic fracking is relatively recent.

The injection process discussed in the video used to be called 'water flooding.' I new of a plugged well on a lease years ago that came back to life (improperly plugged), from water flooding. Oil began running up the casing and out on the ground. The land owner was very concerned, as cows will stand and drink crude oil until they topple over dead. Site eventually became productive again, thanks to an enterprising driller and a willing bank loan.
[Epoch Times] McAbee was outside the Lower West Terrace tunnel during some of the worst violence on January 6. Several times he tried to render lifesaving aid to a dying Rosanne Boyland, 34, of Kennesaw, Georgia. His interactions with Metropolitan Police Department officers resulted in most of the charges and served as justification for a D.C. judge to jail him until trial.
Sullivan suggested McAbee is a terrorist. Yes, that Judge Sullivan.
"So it appears clearly to this court that the defendant is pulling the officer back into the crowd of other terrorists," Sullivan said, according to the transcript.
After another hearing on Oct. 13, 2021, Sullivan reversed Frensely’s order and ruled that McAbee should not be released pending trial. Sullivan said he would issue a written ruling, which was released more than two months later on Dec. 21, 2021.
A break in McAbee’s case came when video investigator Gary McBride of Decatur, Texas, studied the bodycam footage shown in court, except with the audio track turned on. It painted a vastly different picture of what took place, McBride told The Epoch Times.
"The prosecutors did not play the audio of AW [Andrew Wyatt] and McAbee talking during this point," McBride said in a video he made about the evidence. "McAbee is trying to save AW. Prosecutors didn’t play that in court."
McBride said his analysis showed McAbee did not pull the officer down the stairs, but was swept backward and lost his balance, due to two protesters pulling on the officer’s legs. McAbee was standing over Wyatt at the time. As a result, McAbee fell on top of Wyatt and was over him for about 25 seconds.
While McAbee was on top of Wyatt, bystanders called him a traitor, ostensibly for helping the officer. When someone in the crowd tried to grab at Wyatt, McAbee shouted, "No!" and "Quit!"
"At that point, my husband just saw an officer down and an officer needing help, because the first thing he says, when he pops in around the tunnel before he gets around the rail is, ’Hey, you guys have a man down,’" Sarah McAbee said. "They literally did nothing to help that guy. So he’s the one who jumped into action."
McBride and Sarah McAbee said the audio track should have been disclosed to the defense as exculpatory evidence. Hey! I seen dis movie!
If you listen to the audio, he says, ’Hey, I’m one of you. Let me know when you’re ready to get up. I’m going to help you up.’ And they get up together," Sarah McAbee said. "That’s not him assaulting anybody. It’s the same videos, they just wouldn’t play the audio in court, because the audio is so detrimental to their case."

Tampering with evidence in anyway to depive a person of a fair trial is still felony is'nt it?
Or are Bidens Handlers & DOJ immune now?
[Egypt Independent] Poland is buying almost 1,000 tanks, more than 600 pieces of artillery and dozens of fighter jets from South Korea, in part to replace equipment donated to Ukraine to help Kyiv fight the Russian invasion, the Polish Ministry of Defense told CNN ...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for... on Tuesday.
The agreement, expected to be officially announced in Poland on Wednesday, will see Warsaw purchase 980 tanks based on the South Korean K2 model, 648 self-propelled K9 armored howitzers, and 48 FA-50 fighter jets, the ministry said. It would not confirm the value of the deal.
The first 180 K2 tanks, made by Hyundai Rotem and equipped with auto-loading 120mm guns, are expected to arrive this year, with the production of 800 upgraded tanks starting in 2026 in Poland, according to the ministry.
The first 48 K9 howitzers, made by Hanwha Defense, are also expected to arrive this year, with delivery of a second batch of 600 due to start in 2024. From 2025 these will be produced in Poland, the ministry said.
The ministry said these armored vehicles would, in part, replace the Soviet-era tanks that Poland has donated to Ukraine to use in its fight against Russia.

So is SOUTH Korea planning to fight a different kind of War with the North next go around?
Because Ukraine has shown the Tank is no longer the owner of the battlefield that it once was? Because Ukraine took out tank after tank with shoulder and team fired TOW like weapons.
Or is it because South Korea has "acquired" rumored Directed-Energy Weapons (DEW) now being fielded?

Have the Bidens (Hunter and wife) had 🤑 dealing in South Korea or North Korea? Or will the Biden handlers just let the CCP and North Korea have it?

NN2N;
The only thing Russians have proven is the fact that you CANNOT army without putting Soldiers in it.
An armoured vehicle needs 3-5 crew (to actually fight) as well as the support of a few 5 men dismount blobs to infantry when needed. For a very long time, very many Russian BCTs only had enough warm bodies to put 2 or in some worse cases "1" warm body to run the vehicles in the middle of their convoys (to inflate their apparent numbers)
They also don't have ANY logistical capacity. They have the gear but they simply couldn't push that gear further than 20 kilometers / 12 miles from their trackheads which resulted in unbelievably erratic and unreliable arty.
The Ukraine is an abject lesson in the results of graft and paper soldiers (Calling Byzantium on line 1, Calling 3 Kingdoms on line 2, Calling Babylonians on line 3...), anything else needs a very in depth look to properly analyze.
Anyway, back to K2;
Those things are bloody bastards, especially in pre-measured defensive actions but the magic actually lies in the ammo (for the most part). I hope Poles are bargaining hard for the guidance package tech and the C3 modules or they will only be getting slightly better/sidegrade M1A2 SEPv2s.

Unlikely the ROKs will field directed energy weapons. Much more likely for them to use blinding handheld lasers. Similar to those demonstrated by China back in 2015 (BBQ-095, WJG-2002, PY132A and PY131A). The NORKs aren't signatories to the agreements against using blinding lasers so presumably that could be a loophole for the ROKs. No defense I'm aware of against frequency hopping blinding lasers. The best armed / motivated troops in the world aren't going to do much when they are (permanently) blinded. And it's powerful incentive for their comrades to exit stage left.
[DW] In search for alternatives to heating with gas, Germans are increasingly turning to wood. Wood-burning stoves are subsidized by the government, but experts warn of serious health repercussions.
When we were in Germany back in the 60's it was fine to cut down or damage a tree.
Has Germany started importing dried wood from another source or has it replenish the forests decimated during WWII.

[Breitbart] The German government plans to reduce incentive payments for buyers of electric cars and end incentives for buying plug-in hybrids at the end of this year.
The government had announced shortly after taking office in December that, starting in 2023, it would only provide payments for electric vehicles that “demonstrably have a positive climate-protection effect.” It unveiled details of the new system late Tuesday.
At present, buyers of electric-only cars are eligible for incentives of up to 6,000 euros ($6,100) and people who buy plug-in hybrids can get up to 4,500 euros.
The economy and climate ministry said the number of electric cars on the road is rising fast, with the total expected to near 2 million this year. They “are becoming ever more popular and will need no state subsidies in the foreseeable future,” minister Robert Habeck said in a statement.
Starting in January, incentives for electric and fuel-cell cars will be cut to 4,500 euros apiece for vehicles with a list price of up to 40,000 euros and to 3,000 euros for cars costing 40,000-65,000 euros.
From September next year, incentives will be limited to private individuals, though the government is considering allowing small businesses and charitable organizations to remain eligible.
From January 2024, incentives will be cut to 3,000 euros for vehicles priced at up to 45,000 euros and scrapped for more expensive cars.
The funding will also be capped, and incentives will end once it is exhausted. German news agency dpa, citing unidentified government officials, reported that the total available for 2023 and 2024 will be 3.4 billion euros.
The government wants to have at least 15 million fully electric cars on the road by 2030. It also aims to step up efforts against climate change by expanding the use of renewable energy and bringing Germany´s exit from coal-fired power forward from 2038, “ideally” to 2030.
[Breitbart] In an escalation of actions taken in protest against the governments plans to shut down vast swaths of farmlands, Dutch farmers dumped manure on highways across the Netherlands on Wednesday morning.
The Netherlands was left scrambling trying to clear dozens of road blockades, consisting of manure, hay, tyres, and other waste heaped on the roads by supporters of the Dutch farmer protest movement against the globalist government of PM Mark Rutte trying to impose draconian EU-based regulations on nitrogen that could see up to 30 per cent of farms disappear in the country.
As of this reporting there has been no police action taken, despite several of the piles of hay or other blockades being set on fire. According to public broadcaster Nederlandse Omroep Stichting (NOS), a police spokesman said that it would be difficult to ascertain who exactly left the manure or other waste on the highways and that the ministry for public works would be responsible for clearing the roads, so therefore no police action would be taken.
Tensions have previously run hot after police squared off with farmer protesters, with one officer even going so far as to fire his gun at a teenager behind the wheel of a tractor. Though the shots missed, the police force was heavily criticised for the disproportionate use of lethal force.
Condemning the latest round of actions from the farmers on Wednesday, a Ministry of Agriculture spokesman said: “Protesting is only allowed within the limits of the law. That is not this. This is also not the way to progress together,” adding that the government would like to see the farmers come to the negotiating table to air their grievances with the climate goals.
A public works spokesman added that it is a “very undesirable situation,” saying that it could endanger motorists, “not just burning hay bales, but everything on the road that drivers have to swerve for.”
The direct action has reportedly received some support from drivers, with an on the scene reporter for RTV Oos claiming: “Some raise their thumbs. You see sympathy for the actions, but others shake their heads, because it does cause a lot of delay.”
The protests from the farmers comes in response to the attempt by Mark Rutte’s government to implement radical plans to cut nitrogen emissions from livestock in half by the year 2030 in order to satisfy goals laid out in the European Union’s Natura 2000 scheme, which mandates that member states remove industry or farming from areas deemed to be of ecological importance.
Rutte’s government has said that in order to achieve these goals, some farms will need to reduce their emissions by 95 per cent and that 30 per cent of the country’s farmlands should be shut down outright, despite the developing food crisis as a result of the war in Ukraine.
While the Dutch government has cast the move as an “unavoidable transition,” the farmers have argued that they are being unfairly targeted as other EU member states have not been nearly so aggressive in trying to implement the agenda of Brussels.
Speaking to Breitbart News Daily on SiriusXM earlier this month, Dutch political commentator Eva Vlaardingerbroek said that her country was being used as a testing ground for the World Economic Forum’s Great Reset, saying that “all these policies are out of those institutions and they are being implemented in our country first, we are sort of the pilot country together with Canada for this agenda.”
Vlaardingerbroek said that through by taking power over the food supply, governments will be able to have “full control” over people’s lives “if they can dictate what and when you can or cannot eat,” noting that “Wars have been started over less.”
[THEEPOCHTIMES] A schism characterized by documents on "grace through separation" has brought forth a lawsuit.
In Florida, 106 churches are suing the United Methodist Church (UMC) because it charged them large amounts of money to leave, according to a recently filed lawsuit.
The National Center for Life and Liberty (NCLL) represents these churches.
The departure price varies from church to church, according to Jonathan Bailie, chief operations and financial officer of the NCLL.
Some congregations must pay more than $1 million, while others must pay less than $100,000, Bailie said. But in previous decades, leaving the UMC was free.
"Churches have been transferring to other denominations, like the Free Methodists, for decades," he said.
Some of the departing churches owned their buildings before the UMC denomination existed and maintained their buildings without UMC help, the lawsuit states. The denomination still demanded money from these churches.
The churches leaving are conservative, and they’re leaving over procedural and theological issues, Bailie said.
Perhaps the most divisive ...politicians call things divisive when when the other side sez something they don't like. Their own statements are never divisive, they're principled... of these issues has been the biblical view of homosexuality.

Being a born, raised and married by Methodist preacher. In a family that build from ground up 2 old style Methodist churches after working 12 hours and used weekend to finish it.
Our family and blood relatives all converted to Southern Baptist when the UMC went werid in the late 1970's early 80's.
While I agree each to their own, but keep it to your own. So that is between the person and GOD.
But the Bible and even the Koran both clearly state certain acts are a sin.
So given the UMC 1970+ agenda changes, it no longer follows the bible (the Word of GOD) .
So yes I can understand why many are fleeing the UMC and other Liberalized Chruches pimping GOD for $$$$$$. To attend where the Word Of GOD is still preached and practiced WITHOUT caveats.
