Russia burning as massive Ukrainian attack devastates airfield 'killing Putin's butcher' https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1954931/russia-ukraine-drone-attacks-general-dvornikov Ukraine launched a devastating drone attack on an airfield deep inside Russia, reportedly killing a notorious bloodthirsty General. Waves of drones hit multiple targets in Russia in the early hours of Sunday morning, causing extensive damage and sowing panic across the country. The Yeysk airfield in the Krasnodar region came under attack from UAVS, where lethal Kinzhal - or Dagger - missiles are suspected to be stored. Unconfirmed reports claim that General Alexander Dvornikov, 63, was at the base when the attack happened and "was liquidated". Drones also reportedly struck an ammunition depot in Kotluban in the Volgograd region of Russia. The strike caused a huge explosion, with video images showing a massive fireball rising skywards. Reports citing Ukrainian intelligence sources claim the attack destroyed Iranian missile launchers and 45 tonnes of ammunition. A trainload of Iranian missiles reportedly arrived here on the eve of the Ukrainian strike.

Blow to China’s military plans after new nuclear submarine ‘sinks’ https://www.yahoo.com/news/china-nuclear-submarine-sinks-blow-174815168.html China’s newest nuclear attack submarine has sunk in a shipyard accident, in a setback to the country’s attempts to overtake the United States in a naval arms race,... The sinking of the first of a new Zhou-class of nuclear-powered submarines triggered a scramble for Beijing to cover up the incident,... Submarines would probably play a key role in any future conflict over Taiwan, with a Chinese fleet potentially attempting to invade, while blockading the US from arming and supplying the island. Submarine warfare has traditionally been an area of significant US supremacy, but China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) navy has been closing the gap.

Port workers from Maine to Texas are set to strike Tuesday. Expect shortages and higher prices https://www.cnn.com/2024/09/26/business/port-workers-ila-strike/index.html Longshore workers at ports from Maine to Texas are set to walk off the job early Tuesday, staging what could become the most disruptive strike to the US economy in decades. The strike could stop the flow of a wide variety of goods over the docks of almost all the cargo ports on the East Coast and Gulf Coast - everything from bananas to European wine and liquor, along with clothing, toys, household goods and European autos. Also affected could be parts needed to keep US factories operating and American workers in those plants on the job. If those union members walk out, as is widely expected, the strike will shut down three dozen locations at 14 port authorities along the East Coast and Gulf Coast. Depending on duration, a strike could mean shortages of consumer and industrial goods, possibly driving up prices again. Stuck on the sidelines and watching with great concern are businesses that depend on the movement of goods. Some, especially retailers, have rushed to get their goods in ahead of the October 1 deadline,... “A one-day shutdown takes three to five days to recover from,”...

"Arm Yourself" - Persecuted Former FBI Specialist Urges Americans To Stock Up On Food And Prepare For Hardship https://www.zerohedge.com/political/arm-yourself-persecuted-former-fbi-specialist-urges-americans-stock-food-and-prepare A former FBI specialist who was persecuted for questioning January 6 said during a hearing with lawmakers on Capitol Hill that Americans should stock up on food and prepare for hardship. Marcus Allen, a former FBI staff operations specialist, told the Judiciary Subcommittee on Weaponization of the Federal Government that he was deliberately targeted by higher ups for asking why there were so many federal informants in the crowd at the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot. The feds came down hard on Allen after he sent an email on September 21st, 2021 which his supervisors claimed contained hyperlinks to “extremist propaganda” from “questionable sources”. Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz, who testified alongside Allen, is investigating the FBI’s security clearance and adjudication process, including the targeting of “political conservatives who were seen as loyal to Trump or resistant to COVID-19 vaccine mandates.” "This is a warning, to the American people I say.. I personally have no confidence the FBI will reign in its own conduct." “My other recommendations are in the natural order,” Allen continued, “Arm yourself and know how to defend yourself, make three to four friends in your neighborhood and promise to come to each other’s mutual aid in times of hardship.” “And during the great depression, people stocked up their pantry, so I think that’s a good practice especially in our economic times, and make sure you have three to four months of food,” he added. Allen also urged Americans to pray and read the bible regularly.
