Dinesh D’Souza’s ‘Police State’ reveals how the US government has weaponized itself against Americans
Americans don’t think of themselves as living under a police state. Americans don’t believe, generally, that they are living in a nation in which the government and law enforcement are actively engaged in censoring or suppressing speech and spying on ordinary citizens.
But for anyone who lived through 9/11 and saw the emergence of the Patriot Act, the new forever wars launched by Bush, Obama—suspended by Trump— and relaunched by Biden, the past two decades have given them a social whiplash.
But in recent years, as the rhetoric from Obama, Biden, the DOJ and the FBI has ramped up, those tools have turned inward and are being used to go after so-called domestic extremists.

Crazy twist: Pro-Palestine mob takes over the street and swarms elderly driver in Minneapolis…
Here’s another view of the attack, and for the record, this elderly man did nothing wrong. He was attacked by a violent, radical mob while he sat at a stoplight.

In the lead-up to the shooting, Card started using high powered hearing aids to better capture what he thought people were saying about him, O’Neill explained.

Russia promises response to US nuclear deployment in Europe
Speaking at a forum dedicated to Eurasian security in Belarusian capital Minsk, Lavrov reiterated Russia’s criticism of NATO’s nuclear sharing scheme. Under the plan, part of the US nuclear arsenal is stationed outside the country, with training provided to allies on how to deploy the weapons.
Dozens of US nuclear bombs are reportedly stored in Germany, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Türkiye.

Israel-Hamas war draws Russian, Indian ‘hacktivists’ into shadow conflict
Since Hamas’ Oct. 7 assault on Israel, groups of “hacktivists” have been launching cyberattacks against Israel. They include Russia-aligned groups Killnet and Anonymous Sudan, which had previously targeted Ukraine and nations supporting it.
Meanwhile, the hacker group Indian Cyber Force has launched cyberattacks against Hamas-linked websites in support of Israel. In response, some anti-Israel hacker groups have claimed attacks against Indian government websites.
There are now 90 hacktivist groups on the pro-Palestinian side and 23 groups backing Israel, according to Indian cyberintelligence company FalconFeeds. The most-favored method is the distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack.
Hurricane Otis: 27 dead and four missing after 165mph winds hit Mexico

PHOTOS: Palestinian Rocket Hits Apartment Building Near Tel Aviv
The Times of Israel added: “A rocket crashed into a home in Rishon Lezion, lightly wounding three people — a woman in her 40s hurt by shards of glass, a man around 80 wounded by shrapnel and a woman, 75, being treated for smoke inhalation, according to the Magen David Adom ambulance service.”
Israel’s Iron Dome system takes out a large percentage of rockets fired toward urban areas by Palestinian terrorists. However, it does not hit all of the rockets, which is why people in the target zones are advised to take shelter as soon as Israeli radar picks up the rocket flight paths.
This reporter witnessed the Iron Dome in action overhead outside a military base in central Israel on Tuesday.
