What does this have to do with the environment, again?

After a man with a kippa and IDF logo sweater was beaten and called a “child killer” in Düsseldorf, North Rhine-Westphalia Police released images of suspects on Friday. The victim was waking by the bank of the Rhine with his girlfriend when he was berated by two women. A woman on a bench reportedly called the victim a “child killer.” Two men of North African extraction joined the altercation, punching and kicking the victim. When three witnesses attempted to intervene, one of them was struck.

People are in part so desperate to believe in conspiracies and false flags to explain that nothing happens, because they desire to believe that someone is in control. If no one is piloting all world events, then someone can actually just hijack a plane. The chaos of the world is terrifying to them.

Because normal people can do extraordinary things. Just as you’re being extraordinarily demented.

A US Energy Department employee was arrested on Thursday for trying to provide chemicals for explosives, materials for drones, and communications equipment to Ansar Allah, also known as the Houthis. Washington resident Ashton Hamed Ellaboudy was charged with attempting to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization, according to a Justice Department statement, and faces a maximum of 20 years in prison. Ellaboudy came to the attention of the FBI after he purchased precursor chemicals, components, and other materials that can be used in the creation of explosives. He also purchased equipment for the production of drones. The government employee sought to use his expertise in electrical engineering to help the Houthis modify solar power generators and communication equipment, and enhance their integration.

Everything is a false flag operation. Nothing ever happens. Except when the Jews had it coming, of course.

People may be inclined to think that heroism displayed by Israelis aboard the FlyDubai flight was extraordinary. Yet for Israelis, such heroism is ordinary. These heroes are normal Israelis, a people who rise to the occasion when needed. The moment demanded they act, and Israelis have the will to meet act. I’ve known many ordinary heroes. They do what is needed to be done — those who’ve performed a great feat to complete a grand task, and those who’ve held quiet resolve to stand their ground until a long hour is finally over. For most, when the moment has been met, they recede back into the crowd. The champions of Israel are not those who boast followings and catalogue their lives, famous for being famous with the backing of legacy institutions. The champions are the nameless heroes, who go about their days, just sitting in their assigned seats in an airplane. Until the moment arrives. Just ordinary heroes.

Details are still emerging about the , Flydubai incident, but based on what we know so far and just a few weeks after the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, it’s difficult not to see echoes of what could have been another UA Flight 93. A great disaster appears to have been diverted, but the real take away should be that the same will that existed 25 years ago still exists today. Just because it is may seem distant to you in time and geography, doesn’t mean it won’t find you one day. You may not think, trapped in a bubble of civilised society, that people may desire to kill themselves and commit mass atrocities, but these people exist.

Strange news cycle. Both top stories are about lady farmers screwing others -- one a terrorist cell, another random women. A time bomb only went off in one of their faces, though.
