First Two Weeks of October 2022 Big Story Roundup
Posted by HCN on Thursday, October 13, 2022
This may not be all the big stories, certainly not all the news and stories since the first of this month. Some stories require both an immediate publish, while also taking the time to figure out what happened before then, obviously slowing the immediacy down. Stories selected here may have just the announcement aspect without the underlying investigation, at least for right now.
Gas station explosion
In Ireland, Creeslough, Donegal, there was horrific explosion at a gas fueling location with subsequent structural collapse. Scores were inured, and reports are at least 10 persons were fatalities as of earlier this week.
Animal attacks
The dog attacks in the US keep going on. In addition to the Tennessee incident in recent weeks, a woman of about 80 was attacked.
Belarus w.r.t. Ukraine (and the world)
The status of whether or not Belarus will join the 'war' going on with Ukraine may be edging closer to them doing so, according to some online news sources, whereat the stated status would be 'against' or to 'defend' themselves against Ukraine and NATO. It is pretty evident that ramification protection being considered on the other side of battle lines may have some innate conflicts of interest. As far as how big an impact Belarus could have on the entirety, the amount of physical damage Belarus could potentially do (maybe perceived because of the relatively smaller geographic landmass compared to Russia), may have very little to do with what the major concerns are. Right now, Russia is pretty much an isolated event where all fingers are being pointed to just them, respective who actually invaded Ukraine. Once other countries actually commence military involvement, it starts making for more complicated international relations and generally a messy situation. Clean or clear cut sides in battle might not exist anymore.
More complicated and messy, is a major concern, because how complicated and messy, leading to how much will the situation mushroom, envelope, and thrust tentacles into just about everybody such that they are involved with the situation, if gone too far could become an global level catastrophe, regardless of how trashy, nothing but destruction and self-destruction is a predicted roll out.
(Basically, if Belarus charges into Ukraine, there is the serious possibility that they will be cut from the US ally club; conceivably they could come back to it sometime after the tensions and military activity cease, especially if there is a change in leadership seat, say to someone with even more US style democratic leanings than Lukashenko, but otherwise, it might take 40 to 50 years at least to come back, if the cry wolf rule isn't put into effect, and Belarus totally voids out their trust and is never invited back (, and might not be invited to nearby Poland either, at least). The health and welfare for the country,-- can they sustain on their own, do they need help from (the larger and having wider amounts of resources) Russia?, what would happen if Russia, cuts them off later? If both the US and Russia cut Belarus off, and something happens, like an earthquake, flood, oil and natural gas situation, inner turmoil such as extreme protesting and government opposition to the point of almost full self-destruction, the results could be so catastrophic, it might look like a barren wasteland with out of control looting and crime, a playground for terror groups like Al Qaeda and ISIS to come swooping through there to train and recruit.)
Speaking of Al Qaeda and ISIS, what is this about the Middle East going the fight in the Russia Ukraine situation? Thus far, reports have it Russia has been offering Middle East fighters a healthy weekly pay to fight for them over in Ukraine. With Syria's Assad on long time good terms preceding the Ukraine invasion, with Russia's Putin, the likelihood Al Qaeda and ISIS rogues will be over there fighting for Russia, on strategy paper, is real slim. So where would Al-Qaeda/ISIS show up at if they are in the region? Either nowhere, or on the side of the US which isn't going to happen. But let's get down to it, there is a real good chance Al-Qaeda/ISIS have been over there in the region of Ukraine/Russia, and other border regions on Ukraine lately, and may be planning to, taking advantage of the new fertile terrorist recruiting soil and half ruined weapons that could be revived.
The situation in Ukraine, amid Russia, and potentiality of Belarus getting involved, and some more Middle Eastern militants, even if everyone could be trusted 100% to do exactly what they say they will, be trusted, and never change (which rarely ever happens), the region is turning into a bigger playing field to be bigger playground for drug dealing, human trafficking an abusing, and a hangout for starting terrorism cells than it already has been.
A list of news facts and sources is not even needed, but here are some:
Meanwhile in the US:
Two police officers ambushed. This time it was in Bristol, Connecticut. Incident was within the past 2 days. Story and details still emerging. Like in the Frankford, Philadelphia, PA incident almost 2 and half years ago where a SWAT corporal was shot and he a fatality, the officers were responding to an incident at a house.
This comes after police have been heavily criticized for opening fire or taking physical action on a number of incidents involving teenagers.
Two weeks after Hurricane Ian, cleanup in southeastern states still going on.
Global roundup of current/ very recent large scale protests
Iran - morality police... girls and schoolgirls, schools,.. also numerous innuendos found in news sources that may be more local to the region about Kurdish in this, including that was where the focal victim was of. There is some wonder whether what is being pointed to as the crux incident and particular victim snowballing into this large a magnitude, is the sole source at the center of all the ripples. Morality police have been around a while at least in principle, women not wearing full hijab and purdas extent they cannot be discerned from one another has happened before, there have been beauty contests. There has also been a situation of huge numbers of hospitalization operations of a referent alteration attempt type that make it look as if an Islamic leadership in power was either being ignored or just tenuously present with barely any impact on the mind frames and actions on the people there. The balance question comes up, what did the female that lost her life do, that resulted in death, while the other stuff punishable by death in Islamic law went on and on. Well if balance was not the matter, what is, as in is there something political going on.
Germany - there have been protests for a few reasons. Against a perceived Ukrainian carrying Nazi ideology into Germany. Economic reasons, inflation, cost of living. Maybe more.
China - protests over COVID restrictions, this while variants of COVID and COVID-related illnesses keep cropping up in different spots in the nation, comparatively (to other nations that do not have these illnesses, at least reported) due to strange and unusual reasons.
Long week:
The Queen of England on the throne since about the mid century mark of the last millennium, and Former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, rites for passage, demanding on world leaders that attended both. It was intended to cover both their stories in further length. There may be current differences in culture, insofar funeral rites, however, some of the messages were the same, honor their leaders.
North Korea and the missile firing
Since about the start of this article being written, North Korea fired another missile. The missiles being fired (over the past few weeks) have been determined to be unsettling, discomforting and possibly ruining the little bit of relations that could be salvaged between at least the US and North Korea, which may be the bare bones that there are lines of communication that may exist (leaving a contrast in level of US-South Korea positive relations).
Cough syrup linked to child deaths
Maiden cough syrup. India made. Gambia deaths. Over 70 deaths reported.
Quick suggestion: Don't use it if you still have access, at least until this matter gets cleared up
Pakistan still grappling with floods
There was a devastating bus fire very recently, claimed lives of what may have been flood survivors, between a dozen and 20, Jamshoro area, blamed on air conditioning short circuit.
Khaipur Nathan Shah, city was or still is under water.
Millions homeless as we speak.
Many disease springing up, carried perhaps by water.

Russia offers Middle East fighters '$400 a week' to join Ukraine war
Moscow seeks recruits from Syria and Iraq with urban battle experience

SHOCKING Al Qaeda and ISIS truth in Ukraine is coming out

"The Russian military intervention in the Syrian civil war began in September 2015, after an official request by the Syrian government for military aid against rebel and jihadist groups.[149][150] The intervention initially involved air strikes by Russian aircraft deployed to the Khmeimim base against targets primarily in north-western Syria, and against Syrian opposition militant groups opposed to the Syrian government, including the Free Syrian Army, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), al-Nusra Front (al-Qaeda in Syria) and the Army of Conquest." [Giving somewhat of an idea of the number of different groups out there.] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_military_intervention_in_the_Syrian_civil_war)
Who was involved in heading up, reportedly, the Syria intervention?: "Sergei Vladimirovich Surovikin (Russian: Серге́й Влади́мирович Сурови́кин; born 11 October 1966) is a Russian Armed Forces army general and Commander of the Aerospace Forces. He was in charge of setting up the Main Directorate of the Military Police, a new organisation within the Russian Army.[1] Surovikin commanded the Eastern Military District between 2013 and 2017, and was presented to the news media as commander of the Group of Forces in Syria in the Russian military intervention in the Syrian Civil War.

Key phrases and excerpts from the September 8th, 2022 article: "there have been growing glimpses coming through media reports, social media feeds and personal networks of Central Asian mercenaries and volunteers fighting on both sides of the Russia-Ukraine war"
"...less than a decade after thousands of Central Asians joined ISIS in Iraq and Syria — is raising increasing concerns and important questions for Central Asian security. Unlike the phenomenon of Central Asians fighting in Iraq and Syria, the cleavages in Ukraine are much closer to home..."
"Central Asia is no stranger to the recruitment of its citizens to serve as foreign fighters. Upwards of 4,000 Central Asians were mobilized in violent extremist organizations in Syria and Iraq..."
"As countries frame the risk of foreign terrorist fighters returning to their homelands from jihadi theaters, they typically highlight concerns that those foreign fighters are battle experienced and steeped in the ideology that they have lived while abroad.
Moreover, most of what has been laid out above, is actually old news. The terror group recruiting has been going on.
Humbly, Belarus may have been trying to communicate to the US and other world leaders, that there is a very large and dangerous 'presence' in the Ukraine and border regions, that somehow made its way over there, or fusioned together with some elements already over there, and literally cross pollinating, hybrid group or groups emerged, Al-Qaeda, ISIS, a whole bunch of other groups that we might not know their name off the hip, dajjal and dajjal-like groups and individuals romping around over there.
And then there is the analogy of two separate chess matches that face the prospect of being thrown together on one chess board. The chess match with the US on one side, not backing down from the stand on 9-11, and hence eventually combatting Al-Qaeda and ISIS, then another chessboard with Al-Qaeda and ISIS on the side with Ukraine while Russia bring in soldiers with experience, assumedly that would be conducive to their relations with the Middle East, this while the US at least in terms of directives and positions on the Russia-Ukraine issue, are essentially on the side of Ukraine, the position that Ukraine is sovereign nation that has been invaded.
The prospect that Al-Qaeda and ISIS have at least been trying to infiltrate US defense establishments, could not be totally abandoned. A shift to fooling around with allegiances, or the ideas of allegiances, with Al-Qaeda and ISIS is so foolhardy and not making any sense, it may only serve to cover the behinds of anyone who might have tried it already; all over Ukraine?, once again, there are those of us in the US that are not going to back their stand down over 9-11 and terrorism altogether, nor obstinate human abusing, playing games with the world's leading religions, and perverts, which has been found in reports as what it is in and comprises Al-Qaeda and ISIS.
A different solution to the problems going on needs to be found.
Concern: Terrorism and terrorists, perverts, and evil-mongers, in Ukraine, before, during, after, the Russia invasion in 2022.

This comes with reports that 81 missiles were fired on Ukraine post last week's explosion on Kerch Strait Bridge.
Comment: 81 missiles. 8 missiles is considered to be way overboard even in a full scale fully declared and globally recognized war.

The jihadi conflict zones are seen as incubators for future transnational terrorism, whether back in their home countries or in other conflict arenas."
An involved entity: International Legion for the Territorial Defense of Ukraine a.k.a. Ukrainian Foreign Legion. They may be one of the entities 'taking in' foreign fighters, discriminate or not, whether individuals from groups the US considers "terrorist and extremists or not, possibly right on in there fighting alongside folks from the US or US allied nations that went to 'help' Ukraine since the tensions tipped over into invasion earlier this year.
An involved entity: "The Kastuś Kalinoŭski Regiment[a] (also known as simply Połk Kalinoŭskaha or the Kalinoŭski Regiment, formerly the Kastuś Kalinoŭski Battalion) is a group of Belarusian volunteers, which was formed to defend Ukraine against the 2022 Russian invasion.[6]" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kastu%C5%9B_Kalino%C5%ADski_Regiment)
Seriously, not to over-reiterate, it does not appear everyone in Belarus is along for a ride that translates into simple warfare against Ukraine.
