Gaza Man Arrested for Alleged Involvement in October 7, 2023 Terrorist Attacks

In addition, Al-Muhtadi allegedly provided false information in his U.S. visa application relating to his involvement with a paramilitary organization, connection to Hamas, participation in a terrorist attack, and military training. Al-Muhtadi swore to the accuracy of numerous materially false statements in his visa application with respect to at least his affiliation with DFLP, the NRB, and Hamas, his training, and his involvement in the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks. According to U.S. Department of Homeland Security Customs and Border Protection records, Al-Muhtadi entered the United States on Sept. 12, 2024.


the US was allowing anyone to come in with zero oversight

It would be hilarious if the Democrats spend so much time making everyone hate Trump that after he steps down the next Republican President gets like 75%

Assuming the election isn't "fortified" again. And all those riots and frog costumes are like an IRL campaign ad against the Democrats.

(Someone else said in the past that 2020 was like an IRL campaign ad against the Democrats, but they still "won" that election then...)

It's not nerve gas, it's insanity gas, as you think these visions are reality, you can't tell it's a hallucination. Still risking death and seizures and permanent PTSD here. So, nerve gas level atrocity.

I happen to know a bit about this. BZ was a powdered form of LSD and it was tested by the US Military Industrial Media Complex during the 1960's. Development did not go forward for several reasons:
  • BZ is persistent in the environment and there's no way to decontaminate or neutralize it.
  • It tended to affect the troops or police deploying it as well as the intended targets.
  • Most troops could still fight after being exposed, but with reduced effectiveness.

Here's the funniest troll. Donald Trump steps down. Everyone on the left celebrates until the reality of JD Vance hits.

Hypothetically How late can the Republicans postpone picking a candidate? Like could they delay it for a few months, "leak" that Trump is going to run for a third term, then the Democrats focus on attacking him the entire time so when they nominate Vance they already blew their load

But it would be so funny. Just drop a shitton of it and get out the sonic weapons to blast Pink Floyd.

This is really smart and forward thinking for the police to know about drone warfare.

Terrorists can buy a cheap drone from the store, use free online software to jailbreak it and attach a bomb to the bottom and use it for an attack while sitting miles away. They can also 3D print most parts for the drone.

Even if the government or military use EW to take down drones, the terrorists can just use mile long rolls of fiberoptic cable to make the drone EW resistant. They do this in Ukraine.

I genuinely don't think people realize the absolute horror and nightmare that has been unleashed.

i don't think it's such a game changer tbh

in war drones are a huge game changer because access to proper bombs is not an issue for the army, the only difficulty is getting those bombs on target, which drones excel at.

but for civilians/terrorists/criminals it is the opposite: it is usually relatively easy to get close to your target and stash a bomb nearby, but it is extremely difficult to get your hands on high quality reliable bombs, and making something like that yourself is not an easy feat, and very dangerous.

with bombs the difficult part is obtaining or making the explosive material, and setting it up with a timed or remote controlled detonator in a way that will work reliably, all without blowing your hands off in the process.
drones make it easier to deliver your payload to the target in some situations, but the biggest hurdle is still the same.

Drones are a delivery system that increases the ability of the explosive, but one must first construct and attach the explosive to the drone and then wire it all up.. And considering the general capability of the age cohort that primarily comprises the people inclined to leftist terrorism I'm expecting many more missing hand emergency room visits than with the weather underground.

They could also use a mortar (which is literally just a pipe) to do that, but they haven't.
