Boys, 14 and 15, arrested over kidnapping and murder of Mexican teens
The lone survivor, Sergio Acevedo, 18, and the fatal victims Diego Rodríguez, 17; Jorge Ocon, 14 and his cousin Héctor Salcedo, 14; Gumaro Santacruz, 18; Oscar Rojas, 15; and Jesús Rodríguez, 18, were located Wednesday in a remote area in the community of Casablanca, just outside the Zacatecas border with the state of Jalisco.
The ranch where the teens were kidnapped is owned by Salcedo’s parents and located nine miles away in the town of Malpaso.
Security forces were performing a surveillance flight in search of the abducted teens when they spotted the two suspect carrying military weapons in the municipality of Jerez.
Witnesses described the teenage suspects as being part of the armed group that raided the property Sunday around 4am. The ranch is located just 1,600 from a regional state public security station.

Trump suing ex-British spy Christopher Steele in UK over ‘pee tape’ dossier
“Proceedings have been issued on behalf of President Donald J. Trump against Orbis Business Intelligence Limited. The claim relates to breaches of UK Data Protection law arising from the inaccurate processing of the President’s personal data by Orbis following the publication of the false ‘Steele Dossier,’” according to Lowles.
“The President’s claim seeks remedies including that the inaccurate data contained within the Steele Dossier be erased or rectified together with the payment of damages,” the statement added.
A two-day hearing is set to begin Oct. 16, the Independent reported, citing a High Court order published Thursday.
Town’s electric buses out of commission — commuters relying on diesel-powered fleet
Southern Teton Area Rapid Transit, a public transportation system provided by Jackson and Teton County, Wyoming, purchased eight electric buses from EV manufacturer Proterra, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy last month.
All of the company’s buses are now out of commission and in need of repairs.
According to START director Bruce Abel, only five of the eight vehicles were operational at any given time.
Earlier this month, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported that the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority purchased 25 buses from Proterra, which have not been in service for over three years.
The outlet noted that with the company filing for bankruptcy, SEPTA could lose $24 million after finding some of the buses had cracked frames and other issues.
One of the EV batteries reportedly burst into flames last year, it added.
Have Iranian Agents Penetrated the U.S. Government?
A woman, whose own emails and actions and public writing and speaking show great sympathy for the Iranian regime, to the extent of asking regime officials whether she should attend academic conferences in Saudi Arabia and Israel, now has her finger on the pulse of ALL U.S. Special operations activities around the world.
And she is not the only one.
Ali Vaez, the former assistant to Robert Malley, both the Obama and Biden administration’s top nuclear negotiator with Iran, also appears in the emails to be taking directions from regime officials.
Malley was removed as nuclear negotiator in late April of this year and his security clearance was suspended as the FBI launched an investigation into his own activities, and now Vaez himself appears to be under investigation.
Perhaps it is just a coincidence that when John Kerry negotiated the Iran nuclear deal in 2015, he made three separate last minute concessions to the regime after he had thought he had a deal.
And the regime just happened to know that Kerry would cave on each one, so they pressed for more.
Man arrested in connection to 1996 killing of rapper Tupac Shakur to face conspiracy to commit murder charge
Duane “Keffe D” Davis was arrested early Friday morning and sources tell The Post he will face a charge of conspiracy to commit murder.
Davis had been very public about being a witness to the shooting of Tupac, then 25, and hip hop mogul Marion “Suge” Knight on the Las Vegas strip in September 1996.
Davis said he was one of four occupants of a white Cadillac that pulled alongside the rapper’s car, rolled down its windows, and shot, hitting Tupac four times.
In his memoir “Compton Street Legends,” Davis identified his nephew, Orlando Anderson, as the one who fatally shot Tupac. Anderson, who was a member of the South Side Compton Crips gang, died as the result of another gangland shooting in 1998 aged 23.
Disney Employees Among 219 Arrested in Florida Human Trafficking Operation
Authorities in Polk County have proudly announced the apprehension of 219 individuals as part of an operation named ‘Traffic Stop 2’.
A press briefing revealed that 83 suspects were apprehended on charges of soliciting prostitutes.
The investigation brought to light 21 potential victims of human trafficking among the 119 prostitutes apprehended.
Two individuals, namely Maria Guzman, 36, and Freddy Escalona, 30, face charges related to human trafficking and profiting from prostitution.
Escalona allegedly coerced a woman into prostitution after lending her $2,200 to repair her vehicle, which she couldn’t repay.
He was apprehended after confessing to having ‘several’ women working for him, taking the victim to an undisclosed location. Officials allege that he forced the woman into prostitution even after her debt had been settled.
Suspect in Brutal Beating of Teen Girl Captured on Video Inside Los Angeles McDonald’s Arrested
Ariana Lauifi, 31, was arrested Thursday on suspicion of felony child abuse stemming from the Sept. 6 incident inside a McDonald’s in Harbor City, a neighborhood in southern Los Angeles, LAPD said in a news release.
The victim, 13-year-old Kassidy Jones, previously told local news station FOX 11 that she and her friends stopped by the restaurant while walking home from school when Lauifi allegedly cornered and attacked the girl.
In the released video, the suspect appears to be seen pushing the teenager onto the ground before jumping atop her, grabbing her by the hair and punching her in the face.
Elon Musk livestreams from the border to expose Biden’s border disaster
Elon Musk did something Joe Biden didn’t do yesterday.
Musk visited the out of control border situation at Eagle Pass, and livestreamed that visit to his followers on ‘X.”
“This is real time, unfiltered,” he said. “What you see is what I see.”
Musk then said as an immigrant himself, he is “extremely pro immigrant,” but explained that there needs to be expanded immigration that allows hardworking and honest people to legally come to the U.S., but not allow immigrants who are going to break the law.
In the meantime, president Biden was on the campaign trail in a border state yesterday, and didn’t get anywhere near the border in Arizona.
Elon Musk: “We’re Running Out Of Conspiracy Theories That Didn’t Turn Out To Be True”
“There needs to be, obviously, a conviction here. It can’t be guilty until proven innocent,” Musk noted, adding “we’re just sort of in the witch burning phase here; just being declared a witch is enough to make you a witch and be burnt.”
“Anyone could be accused at any time of false charges, and we can’t be destroying their lives on the potential of false accusations,” Musk continued.
Musk also said he found it interesting that the charges have emerged now after Brand has been “rattling the cage” of the “powers that be.”
“Seems like an odd coincidence that it’s happening when Russell is really gaining traction, questioning a lot of the conventional wisdom,” Musk noted, adding that Brand has been targeted as someone who is now spreading “conspiracy theories.”
“I think we’re running out of conspiracy theories that didn’t turn out to be true,” Musk asserted.

Ukraine latest: Putin signs decree calling up 130,000 in fall draft
Saturday, Sept. 30 (Tokyo time)
4:46 a.m. The U.S. still thinks a price cap on Russian oil exports is an important tool, White House national security spokesperson John Kirby says.
“Nobody should be buying Russian oil in violation of the price cap,” Kirby says.
4:24 a.m. Russian President Vladimir Putin signs a decree calling up 130,000 citizens for military service for the country’s routine fall conscription campaign as fighting continues in Ukraine.
All men in Russia are required to serve in the military for a year between the ages of 18 and 27, or go through equivalent training while in higher education. Another 147,000 citizens were called up in the spring.
4:10 a.m. NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg says he is confident Poland and Slovakia will continue to support Ukraine, even as rhetoric on Kyiv hardens in the countries ahead of their upcoming elections.
Poland last week said it no longer will agree to new arms deliveries to Ukraine, while Slovakian opposition leader Robert Fico pledged to end military support to Kyiv.
Ukraine-Russia war latest: Thousands pack Moscow’s Red Square to celebrate annexation of Ukrainian regions; Seven EU countries order ammunition for Ukraine
The UK has imposed sanctions on several named officials in annexed Ukrainian regions of Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, Donetsk, and Crimea.
It came as thousands attended a concert to Moscow’s Red Square to mark the annexations – ahead of what Vladimir Putin has called ‘reunification day’.
In pictures: Rally in Moscow’s Red Square
We reported earlier that thousands of people had descended upon Moscow’s Red Square to celebrate Vladimir Putin’s claimed “annexation” of four Ukrainian regions.
The Russian leader will give a televised speech on Saturday to congratulate the nation on this “re-unification”.
Here are just a few more images emerging from the scene…
Specialists to arrive in Ukraine to plan air defence production
Specialists will arrive in Ukraine in the near future to draw up plans to produce military equipment, the president’s chief of staff has said.
Speaking to reporters, Andriy Yermak said: “I think very soon specialists will arrive here who will make a plan for our own production of everything that we need.
“First and foremost, this relates to air defences.”
Mr Yermak also talked more broadly about Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s visit to the US last week, but it was not clear whether the specialists and the systems he was referring to would be American.
The presidential aide also said Ukraine was seeking to organise an international meeting of national security advisers to discuss Kyiv’s peace formula in the second half of October.
Romania bolsters defences to stop Ukraine war crossing NATO threshold
Over to Romania now, where it is reported to be stepping up its defence near Danube villages bordering Ukraine. Russian drones have attacked grain facilities here.
The plans include moving air defences closer, adding military observation posts, and increasing patrols, according to two sources as cited by Reuters.
Romania also deployed four more US F-16 fighter jets and expanded a no-fly zone.
These actions reflect rising concerns within Romania and NATO about the Ukraine conflict potentially spilling over into their territory.
Moscow’s recent focus on Ukrainian ports and warehouses along the Danube, especially those near Romanian soil like Izmail and Reni, has seemingly heightened these tensions.
Isolated incidents of drone parts landing in Romania underline the risk of a misunderstanding, or worse, between Russia and NATO, prompting Romanian armed forces to increase security in the area to protect civilians, the two sources said.
This is not the first time a Russian missile has prompted a security scare – last year a Russian missile hit southern Poland killing two people.
It comes amid the backdrop of the humanitarian conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh.
Last week, Russian peacekeepers escorted the homeless families of Nagorno-Karabakh Armenians to Armenia.
The move came after Azerbaijan carried out a lightning offensive to reclaim full control over its breakaway region, demanding that Armenian troops in Nagorno-Karabakh lay down their weapons and urging the separatist government to disband.
A decree to that effect was signed by the region’s separatist President Samvel Shakhramanyan.
NATO Says It Will Send More Troops To Kosovo Amid Deteriorating Security Situation
NATO on September 29 said it would beef up its KFOR peacekeeping Kosovo force amid rising tensions in the predominantly ethnic-Serb north.
It did not say how many more troops it would send to Kosovo.
Four people were killed on September 24 in an attack at a 14th-century Orthodox monastery in north Kosovo when some 30 gunmen stormed the monastery, sparking a gunbattle with Kosovar police.
Bulgarian Government Adopts Green Transition Plans Amid Protests By Energy Sector Workers
The Bulgarian government adopted plans on September 29 for the green transition of three coal regions in the country, but the decision met with protests by Bulgarian miners and other energy sector workers who blocked key roads.
The approval of the plans for the transition of the three regions is a condition for the European Commission to allocate 1.2 billion euros ($1.27 billion).
The money would be used for the green transformation of the regions, which is intended to create new jobs for coal industry workers.
But miners and energy workers do not want the coal power plants and mines to close, saying that they would lose their jobs.
The protesters want the government to guarantee that coal power plants and mines would continue to operate without setting any dates for their shutdown.
India: Sikhs protest in Amritsar after Canada’s allegations
Hundreds of Sikh activists on Friday staged a demonstration outside the Golden Temple in Amritsar, in the northern Indian state of Punjab, demanding punishment for the killers of a Sikh separatist shot dead in Canada.
Hardeep Singh Nijjar was shot and killed in July this year in the parking lot of a Sikh temple in British Columbia, a quarter of a century after he left India following the death of his father, also a Sikh separatist leader.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau earlier this month told parliament that there may be a link between the Indian government and the murder. Nijjar had been declared a terror suspect by India in 2020.
EU’s Mediterranean leaders meet as migrant numbers rise
The leaders from nine Mediterranean and southern European countries met Friday in Malta to discuss migration with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
The meeting came a day after the EU failed to agree on changes to the bloc’s migration laws.
Some 186,000 people have already arrived in Europe via the Mediterranean Sea between January and September 24 of this year, according to the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR)

West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin Holds Up Biden Nominee Over Abortion Policy
President Joe Biden nominated the Department of Justice’s Anjali Chaturvedi to be general counsel for the VA in June 2022, but her consideration has been held up in the Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs over the department providing some abortions, according to Politico.
Manchin has joined the Republicans on the committee in stalling Chaturvedi’s nomination, two sources familiar told the outlet, citing a 1992 law that prevents federally funded abortions for military veterans.
“Senator Manchin’s made clear that the VA’s current abortion policy is a blatant violation of federal law and he continues to urge the Administration to restore the commonsense protections we’ve had in place for decades to ensure federal dollars cannot be used to fund abortions,” a spokesperson for Manchin told the Daily Caller News Foundation, but did not address Chaturvedi’s nomination.
SMOKING GUN OF ELECTION FRAUD: Over 200,000 FAKE ballots printed on different paper types found in Maricopa County
An independent media company recently exposed game-changing findings in the ballots found in the controversial election fraud capital in the United States, Arizona. Pollster Rasmussen turned to X, formerly Twitter, to share the audit conducted for the 2020 election turnouts. “Only one official ballot paper type was approved in Maricopa County, AZ for all 2020 election counted ballots, yet 10 types were discovered by voter-volunteers amounting to over 200,000 ‘non-conforming’ ballots that were all counted in a race Joe Biden ‘won’ by far, far less,” it captioned the tweet.
The Grand Canyon State was reported to be the focal point of electoral cheating scandals during both the 2020 and 2022 elections, with Maricopa County at the center of all of it. A lot of theories on the election rigging in the said state have been swirling around online and offline but, according to the news outlet that has specialized in the collection and publication of public opinion information since 2003, the choice of paper used for printing the ballots could be the key to unraveling the mystery.
“It turns out that there was only one type of paper that was approved for ballots. However, for some mysterious reason, there were 10 different types of paper used. What does that tell you? Well, for most critical thinkers, that would mean there were a whole hell of a lot of fake ballots out there, to the tune of about 200K. That’s less than what Biden won the state by,” Rasmussen reported.
House approves amendment from Marjorie Taylor Greene to cut Lloyd Austin’s salary to $1
“Secretary Austin has not fulfilled his job duties,” Greene said on the House floor Wednesday. “As a matter of fact, he’s destroying our military.”
She criticized Austin for his handling of military recruitment and the withdrawal of Afghanistan on the House floor and said in a video on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, after the House vote that “there’s a loss in confidence in Lloyd Austin’s leadership and he deserves to be fired.”
In this case, her amendment would be part of the defense spending bill.
But despite its inclusion, she told the Washington Examiner that she will still vote against the bill because of its additional aid to Ukraine, which other conservative lawmakers have also opposed.

Fast and Furious Whistleblower: Americans Lost Confidence In The Justice System After Obama Admin
But Operation Fast & Furious is not an isolated incident. The government has tried similar schemes. But, stunningly, the federal government often refused to press charges against criminals that Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) agents recommended for prosecution and provided ample evidence for conviction.
And when that refusal to prosecute was mentioned to members of Congress, the whistleblowers were threatened with indictments.
Longtime ATF agent Peter Forcelli joins Sara to explain what happened in Operation Fast & Furious and so many other instances of weapons traffickers allowed to go free while the good guys faced threats and crippling legal bills.
