[NYP] Colorado authorities seized nearly 1,000 marijuana plants and almost $1 million worth of dried weed in the arrest of a Florida man accused of running an illegal grow operation.
The Pueblo County Sheriff’s Office said its investigators took Lazaro Piloto-Gomez into custody last Wednesday after getting a tip about possible illegal drug activity in a rural part of the state.
After the 57-year-old Florida resident fessed up to having more than 12 marijuana plants on his property, detectives returned with a warrant to search two detached outbuildings and a home, the sheriff’s office said.
Weed is legal in Colorado, but state law prohibits more than 12 marijuana plants per household.
One thousand is definitely a bit more than twelve.
[Breitbart] The resident of a home in DeKalb County, Georgia, opened fire on four alleged robbery suspects, killing one and wounding three, around 5 p.m. Friday.
The Associated Press reports that one of the four suspects allegedly had a gun and "exchanged gunfire" with the resident.
FOX 5 notes that police arrived on scene and found three wounded individuals outside the home. Those individuals were "23-year-old Jacqueze Grier, 18-year-old Taneaious McCune and a 15-year-old boy."
McCune later died a short time later at the hospital.
A fourth robbery suspect, 30-year-old Telvin Thomas, was apprehended later in the night when he showed up at a hospital.
Investigators believe the shooting was "justified" and are not pursuing charges against the resident.

Tanaeious McCune has left us,
we shan't meet him again.
The last words out of his mouth
while not really germane,
were something about '...the pain!'

Notice that the 30 year old was able to escape. It was almost like the 30 year old never went in shooting range of the burglary. I certainly would have issue with that if I was the parent of the 15 year old.

[DailyWire] ...In 2005, The News Agency That Shall Not Be Named reported that John Perrys, then an Air Force captain, was charged in Louisiana with burglary and assault with a deadly weapon while wearing a mask, and that he faced up to life in prison. Perrys allegedly entered the home of a judge and beat the judge’s daughter, who was his former fiancée, with a metal baton as she left the shower. Police said that when he was arrested, he was wearing a bulletproof vest and his vehicle contained knives, handcuffs, parachute cord, a shovel, and a mask, according to the The News Agency That Shall Not Be Named.

Probably schedule him to team with male pilots only and things should be good - make it an all male crew. Also find out if active restraining orders will require route alterations and limits on destinations for him. That should be enough. Glad he’s vaxed. May need some brush up unless his facility had a simulator. Good to go.

BLUF:
[Rolling Stone] A staggering total of 109 soldiers assigned to Fort Bragg died in 2020 and 2021. Dozens have lost their lives there to drug overdoses. Now, their families are demanding answers — and accountability.
Her son’s story is not atypical. He had dabbled in drugs before, including marijuana and Ecstasy. "He tried things," Andrea says. "Zach was very transparent." But he never would have chosen to take fentanyl, she believes. "My son was an EMT already," she says. "He knows what drugs are what."
Bracken is one of three Green Beret trainees, or soldiers in the Special Warfare Training Group, to die of a drug overdose recently. (The others were Pfc. Jamie Boger, in March 2020, from cocaine and fentanyl; and Staff Sgt. Van-Michael Ellis, in October 2021, from cocaine and alcohol.) The incident occurred when Bracken was off duty, at a friend’s wedding. His blood-alcohol level was 0.11 percent at the time that he died, at 10:35 a.m. on Dec. 5, 2020, according to a report obtained through the FOIA. Bracken’s system also contained 0.012 milligrams of fentanyl per liter of blood — a lethal dose.

This was not the type of issues I heard about while I was working around the various groups. I guess even after 30 years, and handful of Wars and Conflicts, things change, even at Ft. Bragg/Pope AFB.
#2
I gather that fentanyl is so lethal that you could die from an amount you could not even see. So if the stuff is around, a couple of grains stuck to your hand from somebody else's stash could get into your drink and kill you.
True? Such an easy overdose when you're not planning on dying....

Are urinalysis tests still being conducted by the Army ?
#5
From what I understand it is a double whammy. The cartels like to add it to any and everything to make whatever drug more potent/addicting. Then you have cross contamination from the various drugs being processed in the same facilities as fentanyl. We aren’t dealing with lab grade conditions in these places. I’m sure some lower level dealers are stepping on their dope and then cutting fentanyl back in to boost it back up. Dope is expensive. Fentanyl is cheap.
#8
If they only do a urinalysis, the kids can pretty much do any drug they want except smoke marijuana. Everything else clears they system in a couple of days.

I was at Bragg in 1980. The post Viet-Nam Ft Bragg was a mess. Lack of direction, drugs, and booze were a real problem. It almost sounds like a post war cycle. Bragg clamped down on drugs by increasing their testing and DUI check points. Things finally settled down by the mid 80's. Cocaine only stays in the body at a traceable level for 3 days, so its probably the drug of choice now. The Fentanyl getting into it is a national problem. We need to look at mandatory penalties for possession and sale of drugs that test positive for it.

Post Viet-Nam, a "surprise" barracks inspection in Germany would have Orderly Room snitches calling ahead, and the inspection, even last minute snap ones, would find very little, but if you looked outside at the lawn behind the barracks, the litter looked like a Drug-Mart shopping zone. It took hard-nosed testing, and determined culling of the ranks to clean the mess up over years. Sad to see it returning and I question if the gender-queer CO and 1SGT will fix this by stamping their little feet.

The lack of Gov doing anythiung about Fentanyl feel like folks are culling the heard, or allowing the herd to cull itself.
[SlayNews] Brazil’s military is preparing to step in to overturn the results of the nation’s recent controversial presidential election, according to reports.
Military officials are planning to invoke Article 142 in an effort to defend incumbent President Jair Bolsonaro.
The move will see the military assume control of the embattled nation and annul the election results while restoring law and order to Brazil.
The notoriously corrupt Socialist party was declared the winner in the race, triggering widespread unrest from outraged Brazilians.
In a freak election, where voting machines tallied every vote, socialist felon Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva managed to “win” the election against the hugely popular Bolsonaro.
The Armed Forces of Brazil has been investigating the election following widespread allegations of fraud after Lula supposedly beat Bolsonaro.
Following an audit of the election results, the military concluded that there was a “possible security risk” in the country’s voting system.
In a statement earlier this month, the Defense Ministry emphasized that its report had not “excluded the possibility of fraud.”
Journalist Matthew Tyrmand has been reporting on the massive democracy protests against last month’s presidential election.
Tyrmand told Steve Bannon on The War Room that the Brazilian military is ready to invoke Article 142 and save the nation from the Marxist horde.
The military stands with Bolsonaro and is ready to invoke Article 142 of the Brazilian Constitution, which says that the military has the role of “guaranteeing constitutional powers” under the “supreme authority of the president.”
#1
Brazil's military are not like the US Military who are based at military installations. Brazil's military are every where. Walk down a street in a major city you will see more military police patrolling the streets than the municipal police. They run all air traffic control towers at all airports. Military helicopters fly along the beaches of Rio De Janeiro, Balneario Camboriu, etc.. They have snipers in the favelas to target who they think are gang members walking down a street. No trial. No attempt to ID. If the sniper sees a young man with a weapon of any kind on him, he will be summarily executed from a distance. If the military formally turns on Lulu, Lulu is toast . Period.

...This won't end well, especially when you remember that when a dictator needs to distract the locals, the first page in the playbook is, 'start a war.'
Protests broke out in #China this weekend, with demonstrators in Shanghai, Wuhan, Beijing demanding an end to the government’s stringent #Covid restrictions. (Videos)https://t.co/yMdx5iy0Gg
In Shanghai, China's most populous city and financial hub, protests broke out on Saturday night at the city's Wulumuqi Road
'Lift lockdown for Urumqi, lift lockdown for Xinjiang, lift lockdown for all of China!' the crowds in Shanghai shouted, according to a video on social media
At one point a large group began shouting, 'Down with the Chinese Communist Party, down with Xi Jinping, free Urumqi!', according to witnesses and videos in a rare public protest against the Chinese leadership
A large group of police looked on and sometimes tried to break up the crowd
China is battling a surge in infections that prompted lockdowns and restrictions in cities across the country
Beijing is attempting stick to a zero-COVID policy even as much of the world tries to coexist with the virus
Public fury forced authorities in Xinjiang to open up parts of the capital Urumqi which has been subject to a punishing 'zero-Covid' lockdown for over 3 months
The protests were triggered in-part by deaths of at least ten people in a fire at an apartment block who were unable to escape because their doors had been locked due to the virus

If Socialism and Communism is really about the People and is governed by the People.
Then why is the People's Republic of China leadership known for acting like murderous dictators and treating its people like Cattle-Serf's?
Or, is Socialism and Communism really just a Tyrannical Royalty/Dictatorship using different titles for names, while using the same methods for population for control?

[MIRROR] Belgium's World Cup reverse at the hands of Morocco has not gone down well in the country with supporters swarming the streets as violent scenes broke out and water canons were deployed to control the swell
Belgium fans have staged riots in the country after they slumped to an embarrassing World Cup defeat to Morocco on Sunday.
Abdelhamid Sabiri and Zakaria Aboukhlal both scored to earn a fantastic victory for the African side at the Al Thumama Stadium. The result has not gone down well in Belgium though with fans taking to the streets of Brussels in rampage with a car being flipped in the process.
As per various reports, police deployed water cans and fired tear gas in an effort to control the crowds as scenes turned increasingly ugly. It is believed that police arrested around a dozen people in Brussels while another eight people were detained following ugly scenes in Antwerp.
Footage has shown supporters lighting fires in the middle of the road in the Belgian capital with a red car then having its windows smashed before it was flipped.
#1
...Took me a minute to figure out that the Belgian fans were rioting in Belgium. Had they been doing so in Qatar, this would have been a very short article.
#9
The term "Belgium fans" implies that the rioters are fans of the Belgium football team. Other sources indicate that the folks doing the rioting are fans of the Morocco team who happened to have colonized Belgium (and the Netherlands). But we can't say that, can we?

[Gateway] Kash Patel shared on his show, Kash’s Corner that the FBI has to train confidential human sources for a year before putting them into action. In this case there were 8 confidential FBI informants at the Jan 6 protests with the Proud Boys, several more with the Oath Keepers, and several others in the crowd
The Storm Has Arrived shared this important video on Telegram:
Kash brings up a very interesting point.It’s recently been reported that there were 8 FBI confidential human sources (at least) at the Capitol on January 6th. If true, it means the FBI was planning for January 6th for about a year prior to the event.
If they were planning this for at least a year, you know what else they were planning? A stolen election.
Here is the transcript from Kash Patel on Chris Wray and his FBI operatives on January 6.
#2
This latest trip before the congress to testify by FBI Director Wray was very interesting. He was asked some very pointed questions about FBI sources and personnel within the 6 Jan crowd. He skillfully sidestepped each question with a veiled reference to, in effect, sources and methods.
I thought as I watched the him testify that his questioners probably knew the answers to their questions. I suspect he knew.... they knew as well. His lip actually quivered a time or two.
Asking questions you already know the answers to is an old trial lawyer technique. I suspect Kash Patel provided some very compelling data.

The planning was done in parallel to that of the Whitmer kidnapping fiasco, with Whitmer as the dry run. Pretty much what U of Rantburg has posited from the start.

#5 True, but separate entities/operations. The Fed Popo is well underway with many of the top Dem run cities already having handed their LE over to the Fed - all in the open and on the "up and up".

[Gateway] Dr. Angus Dalgleish, a renowned oncologist practicing in the UK, recently wrote an open letter to the editor-in-chief of the medical journal The BMJ, urging the journal to "make valid informed consent for COVID vaccination a priority topic" because cancers and other diseases are rapidly progressing among "boosted" people.
Angus George Dalgleish, 72, is a professor of oncology at St George’s, University of London, best known for his contributions to HIV/AIDS research and is one of the most sought-after doctors in London.
A medical oncologist is trained to treat different types of cancer using chemotherapy and other medications, such as immunotherapy and targeted therapy.
Naked Emperor Substack noted that Dr. Dalgleish is a co-discoverer of the CD4 receptor as the major cellular receptor for HIV. Angus is also a vaccine researcher and founded a biotech company developing cancer vaccines.
