Sorry Jpal, ol'boy, my holistic practice, certified MD, by the Board of Medicine in the State I live in, did not take umbrage with my smoking. He said low to moderate tobacco use. keeps Covid (an engineered, CBRN Military Weapon from Wuhan, China) away; nicotine prevents the COVID "virus" from attaching to the human body. Nicotine patches do the same... but I think it is time to end the "warnings" on a pack of cigarettes, because , not everyone can afford, nicotine patches ( twice the price)

[THENEWSNIGERIA.NG] The Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt. Gen. TA Lagbaja, on Thursday in Kano, hinted that about 120, 000 Boko Haram ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality... fighters and their families in the North-East, have surrendered to the Nigerian Army.
The COAS gave the hint while delivering a keynote address during the Second-quarter edition of the Nigerian Army Civil-Military Cooperation Media Chat 2024, held at Grand Central Hotel, Kano.
He was represented by the General Officer Commanding (GOC) 1 Division, Nigerian Army, Major General Mayirensa Lander David Saraso.
According to him, the Nigerian Army and sister security agencies have been winning the war against internal insecurity in the North West, North Central, South East, South West and South-South regions of the country.
He noted that: "The culminating effects of these operations include the rescue of kidnapped Nigerians, such as the 350 persons rescued from Sambisa forest last month, the surrender of over 120,000 Boko Haram fighters and their family members in the North East, the desire of over 20,000 Nigerian refugees in Cameroon ...a long, narrow country that fills the space between Nigeria and Chad on the northeast, CAR to the southeast. Prior to incursions by Boko Haram nothing ever happened there... to return to their ancestral homes in Borno and Adamawa states, and the thwarting/rescue of thousands of kidnapping incidents/victims across the country."
The COAS said he was pleased to state that the Nigerian Army in collaboration with sister-services and other security agencies have continued to record remarkable successes.
"You may be aware that troops of the Nigerian Army operating with other security agencies have made significant milestones in operations across all theatres within Nigeria. Specifically, our gallant troops in the North East have neutralized hundreds of faceless myrmidons including scores of their top commanders thereby liberating several of their enclaves in the Sambisa forest, Tumbuktu triangle and the Mandara mountains.
"Our operations have also significantly restored socio-economic activities to most hitherto deserted communities while frustrating the illegal activities of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra and other criminal elements in various parts of the country.

[GEO.TV] “The naval forces of our armed forces carried out a qualitative military operation that targeted the ship Transworld Navigator in the Arabian Sea, using a number of ballistic missiles. The operation resulted in the direct hit of the ship, by the grace of Allah. The targeting of the ship came as a result of the owning company's violation of the decision to ban entry into the ports of occupied Palestine," Houthi Military spokesman Yahya Sarea said.

[Regnum] In the Nariño department of Colombia, a car bomb was detonated near a police station. This is the second time this area has been attacked. The first was in 2023.
Yes, but who dunnit, and why?
The explosion occurred near the police station of the municipality of Taminango. Two deaths were reported and ten people were injured.
“Images of a car bomb explosion fill with outrage. I absolutely do not accept this pathetic act, my solidarity is with the families of the victims,” wrote former governor and current ambassador to Argentina Camilo Romero on his X account.
As Regnum reported, in Colombia, an unknown person threw a knife from the stands at Atlético Nacional football player Pablo Seppelini and hit him in the head.
An American grenade exploded in the logistics center of the port of Odessa. An explosion occurred at the Euroterminal truck reception center. Fragments of an M-67 grenade were found at the scene. As a result of the explosion, a terminal guard was injured.
MOSCOW; Armed militants attacked two Orthodox churches, a synagogue and a traffic police post in Russia's southern republic of Dagestan, killing a priest, a church security guard and at least six police officers, Russian state news agency Tass said Sunday.
Russia's National Anti-Terrorism Committee said in a statement that a Russian Orthodox priest and police officers were killed in the "terrorist" attacks.
Dagestan's Ministry of Internal Affairs said a group of armed men fired at a synagogue and a church in the city of Derbent, located on the Caspian Sea. The attackers fled and a search for them was underway, the statement from the ministry said. Tass reported that the church and synagogue were set on fire in the attack.
Almost simultaneously, reports appeared about an attack on a traffic police post in the capital of the largely Muslim region, Makhachkala. According to RIA Novosti, six policemen were killed and 12 more were injured.

Rome, June 22, 2024, 15:20 - IA Regnum. A sailboat carrying migrants sank in the Mediterranean Sea off the southern coast of Italy on June 18, killing 34 people, eight of whom were minors, local newspaper Corriere della Calabria reported.
The material specifies that planes were also sent to search for the dead. The bodies of the victims were taken aboard coast guard ships.
One of the NGOs that was involved in rescuing migrants clarified to the publication that there were 66 people on board the ship, 26 of them children. Eleven migrants managed to escape and were left without help on the high seas for several days.
As Regnum reported, in Italy, a particularly large influx of migrants is observed on the southern island of Lampedusa in the Mediterranean Sea, located 113 km from Tunisia. Illegal migrants arrive on the island every day. Residents of African countries are the main asylum seekers who risk dangerous sea journeys in the hope of reaching Europe via Italy.
Thus, in December 2023, more than 60 people drowned in a shipwreck off the coast of Libya. Most of the passengers on the sunken boat were citizens of Nigeria, Gambia and other African countries. In June of the same year, the fishing vessel Adriana with 750 passengers on board, heading from Libya to Italy, sank in international waters off the coast of Greece. According to survivors, the ship was mostly citizens of Egypt, Syria and Pakistan. Only 104 people survived.
In September 2023, Deputy Foreign Minister of Poland Arkadiusz Mularczyk accused Russia of involvement in the migration crisis on the island of Lampedusa in Italy. The diplomat did not provide any evidence for such allegations. According to him, someone is helping migrants from Central African countries and Nigeria get to the Mediterranean Sea and then to Europe.
Russia has repeatedly denied unsubstantiated accusations from the EU about Moscow’s alleged involvement in the migration crisis in the union. According to the press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov, the West is escalating tension in attempts to “fool its population with horror stories about terrible Russians.” According to him, this is how Western politicians are trying to hide internal economic and internal political problems from the population.
This video is so insane. Anti-Israel mobsters show up at Jake Tapper's house, scream at his kids, and then go on a rant about the al-Ahli hospital, which Israel didn't bomb (but PIJ did); a total hoax. https://t.co/LYLyTz3hCO
[GEO.TV] A report by a federal agency on Saturday revealed police "negligence" in the case of a man lynched over the allegation of blasphemy ...the act of insulting or showing contempt or lack of reverence to a deity, or sacred objects, or toward something considered sacred or inviolable. Some religions consider it to be a crime. In Pakistain you can commit blasphemy by looking cross-eyed at a Koran... in Swat, stating that the law enforcers shifted the suspect to the Madyan Police Station which turned out to be a "grave mistake".
A violent mostly peaceful mob had beaten a local tourist to death on Thursday night after accusing him of desecrating the Holy Koran, and later set his body as well as the Madyan Police Station ablaze. Several coppers were also injured during the ransacking of the cop shoppe.
The authorities concerned initiated an investigation to identify and arrest members of the mob and a recent report stated that "the suspect denied committing blasphemy in police custody".

[GEO.TV] Normally, artillery "booms" out. Bleeme, I know!
Israeli forces fought in Rafah and attacked positions east of Khan Younis in southern Gaza on Saturday.
Smoke was seen rising across the border in Gaza, while the sound of artillery echoed over farmland on the Israeli side of the border. [BOOM!][BOOM!][BOOM!][BOOM!][BOOM!]
More than eight months into the war in Gaza, Israel's advance is now focused on the two last areas its forces had yet to seize: Rafah on Gaza's southern edge and the area surrounding Deir al-Balah in the centre.

Note the solar powered tanks.
It is reassuring to know that even in the midst of committing merciless genocide, the IDF is still working to save the planet. An fine example for us all!
For those of us keeping score at home, was the "Hamas training facility" a hospital, a school, or a UNRWA compound?
[GEO.TV] EU foreign affairs chief Josep Borrell on Saturday called for a probe into deadly shelling that damaged an office of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in Gaza.
"The EU condemns the shelling which damaged the ICRC office in Gaza and led to dozens of casualties. An independent investigation is needed and those responsible must be held accountable," Borrell wrote on X.

[REGNUM] Moscow, June 22, 2024, 22:43 - IA Regnum. A drone of the international coalition led by the United States attacked a truck in Syria from Iraq. As a result, Syrian citizens were injured, and there were also deaths, said Major General Yuri Popov, deputy head of the Russian Center for the Reconciliation of Warring Parties in the Arab Republic.
“The MQ-1C multi-purpose unmanned aerial vehicle, belonging to the so-called international anti-terrorist coalition, from Iraqi airspace without violating Syrian airspace, struck a truck moving in the area of the Bu Kemal settlement. As a result of the strike, Syrian citizens were killed and wounded,” the speaker clarified.
According to him, the UAV attacked the truck on June 21 around 22:30 Moscow time.
As Regnum reported, on May 8, Russian military police blocked an international coalition convoy in Syria, consisting of six American Bradley armored vehicles and two pickup trucks. This happened in the area of the village of Sarmoak-Faukani, Hasakah province. After this, the column turned around and left in the opposite direction.
The professionalism of the pilot of the Russian Su-35 fighter helped prevent a collision in the sky with American drones in the Syrian province of Homs. A dangerous convergence of three modular reconnaissance and strike unmanned aerial vehicles MQ-9 Reaper of the “coalition” occurred on the afternoon of June 21 over the village of Es Sukhne at altitudes from 7 thousand to 8 thousand meters. At this time, a Su-35 of the Russian Aerospace Forces was making a scheduled flight in Syrian airspace.

[GEO.TV] Iran's supreme court has overturned a death sentence ...the barbaric practice of sentencing a murderer to be punished for as long as his/her/its victim is dead... against popular rapper Toomaj Salehi who was incarcerated Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'! for backing nationwide protests sparked by Mahsa Amini's death, his lawyer said on Saturday.
"Salehi's death sentence was overturned," the rapper's lawyer Amir Raisian said in a post on X, adding that the Islamic Theocratic Republic's top court had ordered a retrial.
In April, an Iranian court sentenced Salehi to death for the capital offence of "corruption on earth", Raisian said at the time.
The rapper was also found guilty of "assistance in sedition, assembly and collusion, propaganda against the state and calling for riots", the lawyer said.
Salehi, 33, was arrested in October 2022 after publicly backing demonstrations which had erupted a month earlier, triggered by Amini's death in police custody.
Amini, a 22-year-old Iranian Kurd, was detained by the morality police in Tehran over an alleged breach of the Islamic republic's strict dress rules for women.
"The Supreme Court prevented an irreparable judicial error," Raisian said, adding that the court also ruled that Salehi's "previous sentence (6 years and three months) was also without compliance with the rules of a multiplicity of crimes."
The months-long protests sparked by Amini's death saw hundreds of people killed, including dozens of security personnel.
Thousands were arrested as authorities moved to quell what they branded foreign-instigated "riots".

A turbo-prop drone came "dangerously close" to an air-superiority fighter? OK, that is not completely unpossible.
Sounds congested, three drones and one fighter flitting about the same airspace . All focused on the same object of interest, perhaps? One side trying to prevent the other from whacking somebody who has done enough bad things to deserve getting whacked?
