POWDER KEG EUROPE: Serbian President Vučić Says Explosives Were Found Near a Pipeline Carrying Gas From Russia to Serbia and Hungary

Serbia in the eye of the storm.

While the eyes of the world are fixated on the developing crisis in the Middle East, Europe is still getting more dangerous by the day, with an energy crisis worsening the socio-political mess and the divisions over the war in Ukraine.

In this context, countries that lead independent foreign policies, like Serbia, are under relentless pressure.

Today, Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić came out publicly to disclose that explosives were found near a pipeline that carries gas from Russia to Serbia and Hungary.

Euronews reported:

“Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić announced on Sunday morning that army and police found explosives that had been placed near a pipeline that carries gas to Serbia and Hungary.

He said that ‘two large packages of explosives with detonators’ were found inside backpacks in northern Serbia’s Kanjiza, ‘a few hundred meters from the gas pipeline’.

The Balkan Stream pipeline is an extension of the TurkStream pipeline, and transfers Russian gas to both Serbia and Hungary.”

Vučić provided no details on who placed the explosives near the gas pipeline, or why – but the inference is clear: the Ukrainian regime of Volodymyr Zelensky is widely seen as working to disrupt the pipelines carrying cheap Russian oil and gas.

Vučić said there were ‘certain traces’ which he would not elaborate on.

“The latest news comes at a time when the integrity of gas pipeline infrastructure has been in the headlines. The Soviet-era Druzhba pipeline, a separate pipeline that carries Russian oil to Hungary and Slovakia, has been the cause of a dispute between Hungary and Ukraine.”

Trump 2020 Election Lawyer John Eastman Disbarred in California For Challenging Democrat Fraud

President Trump’s 2020 election lawyer John Eastman was officially disbarred in Californian on Wednesday.

The California Supreme Court affirmed that Eastman was disbarred after a two-year battle with the state bar.

CBS News reported:

John Eastman, Chapman Law School’s former dean, lost his law license after he allegedly helped President Trump try to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia.

“After extensive proceedings before the State Bar Court’s Hearing and Review Departments, both of which found Mr. Eastman culpable of serious ethical violations, the Court has imposed the discipline warranted by the clear and convincing evidence that he advanced false claims about the 2020 presidential election to mislead courts, public officials, and the American public,” said State Bar Chief Trial Counsel George Cardona.

The California Supreme Court affirmed Eastman’s disbarment two years after the State Bar found him culpable of 10 disciplinary charges, claiming he engaged in misconduct by allegedly helping Trump try to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia.

Eastman was disbarred in April 2024 after a judge ruled he should have his law license stripped for challenging the 2020 election.

John Eastman previously asked a California judge to pause the disbarment ruling, citing massive legal fees.

Eastman faced disbarment in California for ‘undermining democracy’ by trying to ‘overturn the presidential election.’

The January 6 Committee sent the feds after John Eastman because he dared to take action against the Democrats and their massive election fraud operation in 2020.

Recall, Eastman was previously ambushed by the FBI as he was exiting a restaurant in New Mexico.

John Eastman was exiting a restaurant with his wife and friend in June 2022 when FBI agents ambushed him and “forced” him to unlock his phone.

The federal agents then took Eastman’s iPhone 12 Pro.

WATCH:

Eastman was also indicted by Fani Willis and charged with counts 1-2 (RICO and Solicitation of Violation of Oath by Public Officer), 9 (Conspiracy to Commit Impersonating a Public Officer), 11 (Conspiracy to Commit Forgery in the First Degree), 13 (Conspiracy to Commit False Statements), 15 (Conspiracy to Commit Filing False Documents), 17 (Conspiracy to Commit Forgery in the First Degree), 19 (Conspiracy to Commit False Statements and Writings), 27 (Filing False Documents).

On Wednesday, two years after Eastman challenged his disbarment, the California Supreme Court affirmed he lost his law license.

Mamdani Condemns NYPD Officers After Chaotic Arrest Video Goes Viral

Published

By

New York City Democratic Mayor Zohran Mamdani condemned two NYPD officers after a chaotic arrest video out of Brooklyn went viral online.

The footage showed a violent struggle between two officers and a suspect inside a liquor store.

The incident occurred on Tuesday at a store in Brooklyn, according to a report from WNYW.

A source told the outlet that the officers were attempting to arrest a man they suspected of being involved in a drug deal.

The situation escalated quickly when the man repeatedly resisted arrest.

Video from the scene showed officers repeatedly punching the suspect in an effort to get him to the ground.

Warning: The following video contains vulgar language and violence that may be disturbing to some viewers.

The lengthy video ended with the suspect being escorted out of the store in handcuffs.

The NYPD has since placed both officers on modified duty.

New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch confirmed the move during a news conference on Wednesday.

She said the department’s Internal Affairs Bureau is reviewing the incident.

Tisch added that more information will be released as the investigation unfolds.

Mamdani, a socialist who supported the “defund the police” movement, weighed in on the video.

He shared the footage and issued a sharp condemnation of the officers, presumably without having all the facts.

“The violence used by NYPD officers in this video is extremely disturbing and unacceptable,” Mamdani wrote.

“Officers should never treat a person this way. The NYPD is conducting a full investigation into this incident,” he added.

His comments quickly drew pushback.

The New York City Police Benevolent Association criticized Mamdani for speaking out before the investigation is complete, WNYW reported.

The organization’s president, Patrick Hendry, said the mayor had rushed to judge the cops.

“We don’t know why the mayor is bothering to call for an investigation when he has already rushed to condemn the NYPD members involved without knowing all the facts,” Hendry said.

Iranians Have an Obscene Nickname for British PM Starmer: REPORT

Starmer’s Iranian nickname makes a lot of sense in English, too

Is Starmer really a ‘kir’?

Failing British Prime Minister probably has been called worse, but Persian speakers around the world have a new, choice nickname for him.

In Iran and among the diaspora, Starmer is unable to avoid a rather unfortunate nickname.

The Telegraph reported:

“To millions of Persian speakers, his first name sounds remarkably similar to a vulgar term for a penis. The word کیر – transliterated as “kir” – is one of the language’s most commonly used obscenities.

The linguistic similarity, long noted by Iranian diaspora communities, has sparked a wave of mockery on social media since the outbreak of the Iran war.”

Starmer’s passivity during the Iran military clashes let Iranian diaspora users fuming.

“’From his name, you can tell what kind of man he is’, one user wrote on X. While the joke predates the Iran war, the volume increased in the past month, and peaked this week when Sir Keir declared that Britain would not take part in any blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.

The Prime Minister’s widely shared statement prompted an immediate eruption of jokes online, with many Persian speakers referring to him as ‘Kir Starmer’.”
