#BREAKING Hezbollah statement on pager attack by Israel.
At approximately 3:30 pm on Tuesday 09-17-2024, a number of messaging devices known as "pagers" exploded, which are owned by a number of employees in various Hezbollah units and institutions.
These explosions, the causes of which are still unknown, led to the martyrdom of a girl and two brothers, and the injury of a large number of people with various injuries.
Hezbollah's specialized agencies are currently conducting a wide-ranging security and scientific investigation to determine the reasons that led to these simultaneous explosions, and medical and health services are also treating the wounded and injured in a number of hospitals in various Lebanese regions.
We ask God Almighty to have mercy on our righteous martyrs on the road to Jerusalem, and we pray for the wounded and injured to recover quickly, and we call on our honorable people to be aware of the rumors and false and misleading information that some parties are spreading in a way that serves the psychological war in favor of the Zionist enemy, especially since this is accompanied by the Zionist enemy's intimidating and threatening speeches and what it calls changing the situation in the north.
We confirm that the resistance at all levels and various units is at the highest level of readiness to defend Lebanon and its steadfast people.
🗳 🇪🇺 📵 Hyperdemocratic European Parliament reimposes mass electronic surveillance regulation after a majority votes it down three times
An extension of the European Union’s mass surveillance regulation known as Chat Control 1.0 failed to make it out of the European Parliament twice in March. Unable to summon a clear parliamentary majority, advocates (mostly in the centre-right European People’s Party [EPP]) turned to the European Council, which adopted the failed Chat Control 1.0 renewal on 2 July.
The Council’s position hardens automatically into law unless the European Parliament can summon an absolute majority to stop it. To forestall any such majority from forming, the EPP on Tuesday moved with member state backing for urgent procedure, angling to force their scheme through in the last days before the summer holiday, after many MEP’s had already left. The parliament narrowly approved the urgent procedure, and in consequence there were not enough votes to stop Chat Control ...
💀🗣 Meta infects city's water system with drug-resistant superbug
A Meta contractor building a massive 66.4k square-meter data center in Cheyenne, Wyoming, has been caught dumping Cupriavidus gilardii bacteria into the city's municipal sewer system.
🌏 Resistant to antibiotics — including standard and emergency drugs used to treat severe, life-threatening bacterial infections — the bug is opportunistic, targeting immunocompromised patients: people with severe illnesses, those undergoing medical treatment, and the elderly. It causes severe pneumonia, lung infections, and blood poisoning
🌏 There are no official, standardized treatment guidelines for Cupriavidus gilardii, with treatment typically requiring complex, multidisciplinary, expensive, and highly personalized therapy
🌏 Given the dangers stemming from the bacteria, Cheyenne's public utilities board may have been surprised to detect it in the city's wastewater
🌏 What's not clear is why the incident, which took place in ...
