[IsraelTimes] Sai Varshith Kandula praised Hitler, unfurled Swastika after ramming into barrier in May 2023, injuring no one; defense says he’s schizophrenic, amenable to treatment
A Missouri man who crashed a rental truck into barriers protecting the White House was sentenced Thursday to eight years in prison for an attack that prosecutors said was inspired by his fascination with Nazi ideology, court records show.
Sai Varshith Kandula, then 19, nearly struck two people standing next to a park bench when he steered a U-Haul box truck onto a sidewalk and toward metal bollards that prevent vehicles from entering Lafayette Square, which is located north of the White House. He retrieved a Nazi flag from a backpack after the May 22, 2023, crash, which didn’t injure anybody.
Kandula wanted to "attack and destroy" the United States government, prosecutors said.
"He wanted to eliminate the democratic process in America and replace the government with a Nazi-style dictatorship," they wrote.
US District Judge Dabney Friedrich also sentenced Kandula to three years of supervised release after his prison term and ordered him to pay nearly $57,000 in restitution, according to court records.
Defense attorney Scott Rosenblum said Kandula was suffering from schizophrenia and was overwhelmed by delusional thoughts, including his belief that "a reptilian race had installed a puppet regime to operate the US."
"He’s amenable to treatment, understands its necessity, and recognizes an illness produced the acts that led to his current circumstances," Rosenblum wrote.
If he’s nuts, the reason he claims for what he did has no validity — he would have found another excuse if that one hadn’t occurred to him.
Prosecutors recommended an eight-year prison sentence for Kandula, who pleaded guilty in May to a property damage charge. He has remained in jug since his arrest.
Kandula planned the attack for weeks before he took a flight from St. Louis to Washington, DC, only hours before the crash, prosecutors said. He rented the truck in Herndon, Virginia approximately three hours before he crashed it into the barriers.
After Kandula backed up and slammed into the bollards a second time, the truck began smoking from its engine compartment and leaking fluids.
Authorities didn’t find any weapons, ammunition or explosives in his possession. But prosecutors said the attempted liquidation of US President-elect Donald Trump ...The cad! Twice caught beating wimmin!... at a July 13 rally in Pennsylvania shows that "individuals who carry such destructive intent are capable of inflicting serious damage to the American political system."
After Kandula’s arrest, two psychologists diagnosed him with schizophrenia, according to Rosenblum. psychologists hired by the defense, right?
"Both also believe his illness led directly to his offense," the lawyer wrote.
As Los Angeles residents shift from emergency to recovery mode after the pair of devastating wildfires, crews are well on their way to full containment of the blazes.
According to the latest numbers released by Cal Fire, crews had 73% containment on the Eaton Fire as of 12:40 p.m. Saturday. The fire, which scorched much of Altadena and parts of Sierra Madre, has destroyed nearly 9,000 structures.
As for the Palisades Fire, containment was at 43% as of 11:39 a.m. Saturday, according to Cal Fire. The burned acreage remained at 23,713, as it has for several days.
---------- As of this am, containment has been advanced a bit more, now 52% for Palisades and 81% for Eaton; also there is a possibility for rain in about 7 days as a low pressure will migrate down the west coast

Before the rain will be another Santa Ana. Hope it's not as bad as the last one.
While an offshore wind pattern is expected across Los Angeles and Ventura Counties Monday through Friday, the winds are predicted to pose the highest danger Monday night into Tuesday morning.
[SLAY] Leading experts in Japan are sounding the alarm after uncovering evidence of a staggering surge in heart failure among citizens who received Covid mRNA "vaccines."
Japan’s top scientists discovered that the risk of heart failure surges by up to 4,900% after a person receives a Covid mRNA injection.
The explosive discovery was made by a team of Japanese researchers from the Division of Pharmacodynamics at Keio University Faculty of Pharmacy and Yokohama General Hospital.
The research team, led by Professor Keisuke Takada, found that the risk of myocarditis is 20-50 times greater after receiving the shot.
They calculated reporting odds ratios (RORs) and 95 % confidence intervals (95 % CIs) for the association between the vaccines and myocarditis and pericarditis based on data from the Japanese government’s vaccine adverse event database.

I wonder if Fauci has immunity from Japanese charges.

Here's the original study. I didn't notice 4900% in the summary.
Conclusion: In the Japanese population, SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination was significantly associated with the onset of myocarditis/pericarditis. The influencing factors included age of ≤30 years and male. Furthermore, although most adverse events occurred early after vaccination, overall outcomes were good.
Consistent with other reports, (males, less than 30 years old), but a confirmation of erlier reports.

Anecdotal, but associate said lost 5 points off of oximeter post shot.

Anecdotally, swksvolFF, five points can be regained by cleaning the finger device with an alcohol wipe. So hopefully it was that rather than a real decrease for your subjects.
[Breitbart] Chinese efforts on the Panama Canal are a "national security problem," Erik Prince, veteran and founder of Unplugged Technologies, said during an appearance on Breitbart News Saturday.
"The Chinese have done the soft power move and taken over management, effectively, of the Panama Canal that the United States built more than a century ago, and then it was unwisely given up by Jimmy Carter in ’78 or ’79," Prince began, describing this as a "national security problem."
"Because if you have any kind of naval conflict, you have to be able to move our fleets from the Atlantic, Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. And the way you do that is through the Panama Canal. It saves you almost a month of transit time from going around the southern tip of Chile," he continued.
Prince said it is "absolutely essential" that the United States have security overwatch of the canal for these very reasons.

There is a consorted effort right now to blame the ban on Trump instead of Brandon Residency Years.
Remember, the idea from this outgoing administration was to keep tiktok but have it under 'the supervision' of then current Congress.
Its like blaming Trump for a ban on menthol cigs because he once said cigs are unhealthy.
That said, I hate all these short attention fan theatre things, but that said, I also watch a lot of content which is not legacy media, so I thought the thought of bottlenecking media is a bad idea.
Eldest said that there is a parody song We Didn't Start The Fire song mocking the tiktok trends such as Tide Pods.
Also, Psaki if you remember went to tiktok to promote Ukraine War Operations.
[Epoch Times] The U.S. Federal Reserve is exiting a global climate change coalition days before the new Trump administration is set to take power on Jan. 20.
The Federal Reserve had joined the Network of Central Banks and Supervisors for Greening the Financial System (NGFS) in December 2020. NGFS, composed of global central banks and supervisors, aims to integrate climate and environmental risk management into the financial sector and mobilize "finance to support the transition toward a sustainable economy," according to the group’s website. On Friday, the Federal Reserve announced its withdrawal from the 143-member coalition.
"The work of the NGFS has increasingly broadened in scope, covering a wider range of issues that are outside of the Board’s statutory mandate," the agency said. Five Federal Reserve officials, including chair Jerome Powell, voted for the withdrawal, while two officials did not vote. Greta will be furious!
[RedState] One of the better aspects of seeing the Biden administration in the national rear-view mirror is the return to some sanity for our service men and women. One aspect of this lies in a bill now in consideration, sponsored by, among others, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) that promises not only reinstatement but also back pay for American servicemen and women who were discharged for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine.
A pair of Republicans are introducing legislation that would offer service members who were fired over the military’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate a chance to get their jobs back and receive back pay.
The AMERICANS Act, put forth by Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and freshman Rep. Pat Harrigan, R-N.C., bans the Pentagon from instituting any additional COVID-19 vaccine mandates without congressional approval.
It would offer reinstatement to any service member discharged solely for their refusal of the COVID vaccine and credit them for the time of their involuntary separation for retirement pay.
It would also restore the rank of anyone who was demoted over the vaccine mandate, offering them back pay and benefits for any compensation they lost as a result of their demotion.
For those who do not want to rejoin service, it would restore their discharge to "honorable" to restore their GI Bill and health care benefits.
The bill would return rank and benefits to a considerable number of service members who were unfairly discharged over this matter.
[SLAY] A world-renowned oncologist has confirmed that ivermectin can be used to cure cancer after the top doctor used the wonder drug to treat over 1,000 terminally ill patients.
The announcement was made by Dr. William Makis, a leading Canadian physician with expertise in radiology, oncology, and immunology.

The subject recently attracted widespread attention when Hollywood star Mel Gibson dropped a bombshell about the treatment on Joe Rogan’s podcast.
Gibson told Rogan that three of his friends had "stage four cancer.
