A 90-year-old Hong Kong cardinal will go on trial alongside four fellow democracy supporters on Monday over their role in running a fund to help defend people arrested in anti-government protests.

Police have not yet charged Zen with a national security offence, which can carry up to life in jail.

We abandoned him,” Mueller told the Italian newspaper Il Messaggero earlier this month, saying he was disappointed that a recent consistory – a gathering of cardinals in Rome – did not speak in support of Zen.

China responded to those protests with a sweeping crackdown on dissent.

Some groups have been prosecuted for funding and registration irregularities, even though several had functioned without incident for years, including the alliance that used to organise the city’s annual Tiananmen crackdown vigils.

Zen’s 612 Humanitarian Relief Fund is charged with not properly registering under the Societies Ordinance, a colonial-era law from 1911.

(CNN) That the United States should be forced to warn Russia publicly , and in more strident terms privately , not to use nuclear weapons is a mark of how dangerous the battle for Ukraine has become -- and how much more risky it might get.

But White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan issued an ominous public caution to Putin on Sunday.

The United States will respond decisively," Sullivan said on NBC's "Meet the Press."

"It's very important that Moscow hear from us and know from us that the consequences would be horrific," Blinken said.

There are no public reports that the Kremlin is readying its stock of battlefield nuclear weapons for use or that it has changed the posture of its international strategic missiles.

A stark US message It is in this dangerous atmosphere that Washington issued its warning, designed to deter Putin from a cycle of escalation that could raise the risk he might consider, or at least threaten the use, of a limited yield tactical nuclear weapon in Ukraine to compensate for his military's failure in a conventional conflict.

TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan has decided to ban exports of chemical weapons-related goods to Russia in an additional sanction against Moscow over its invasion of Ukraine, and is “deeply concerned” about the possible use of nuclear weapons, Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno said on Monday.

Japan also added 21 Russian organisations such as science labs as the target of existing export bans, according to a government statement released after Monday’s cabinet meeting, which formally approved the new sanction measures announced by the foreign minister at a Group of Seven meeting last week.

“Japan is deeply concerned about the possibility of nuclear weapons used during Russia’s invasion of Ukraine,” Matsuno also said in a media briefing, adding Japan will continue to work with the international society in supporting Ukraine and sanctioning Russia.

CNN — Marnette Gordon was doing laundry at home in Minneapolis one summer morning last year when a call came from her 36-year-old son.

Residents take matters into their own hands Among them is Dorothy Royston, a 26-year-old healthcare professional who said she spent weeks proactively feeding police information shortly after her unarmed younger brother, Charles Royston Jr., was gunned down on a snowy street in north Minneapolis on a January night in 2021, according to police reports.

Dave Bicking, a board member of the Minneapolis-based Community United Against Police Brutality, goes so far as to suggest the police since Floyd’s death may have engaged in a “sickout” — that is, that officers are purposefully sluggish to respond to or investigate certain crimes.

So when Jacob Frey talks about only White people want to defund or whatever … I think that he is perhaps shaping the narrative to benefit his political goals.”

In April, the Minnesota Department of Human Rights released a report, two years in the making, charging that the Minneapolis department’s officers have engaged in a pattern or practice of race discrimination when conducting traffic stops or using force.

“When I got to the hospital, the doctors were like, ‘Well, you’re some lucky lady and you must be somebody special because you have no metal fragments in your body,’” Howard said.

According to Michael Baxter's (((source ))), DDR's "The Storm is Coming!" lapel pin is subliminal messaging for the mass arrests which are happening soon

Trump’s wearing the pin, he added, sent a subliminal message to the White Hat partition of the U.S. military—You now have carte blanche, if you will, to pursue mass arrests instead of singling out specific individuals that betrayed their oath of office or engaged in criminal malfeasance in contravention of the Constitution of the United States.

Thousands of arrests are going to be happening and they've all been hand-picked by the orange man himself

Trump’s message marks a reversal in posture. Earlier this year, he had asked White Hat commanders to abstain from mass arrests until after the midterm elections. Now, with proof the Deep State has a plan in place to steal the midterms, Trump is asking the military, empowered by his invoking the Insurrection Act of 1807 prior to January 20, 2021, to take whatever steps are needed to capture and incarcerate “several THOUSAND primary targets” whose names appear on sealed indictments that Trump had helped author.

The comments are filled with many things including

From DJT’s lips to God’s ears.

Make it happen, White Hats!!!

“We’ll make the storm a hurricane.” That’s quite the comment, and coming from a man like General Berger, you can be sure he will deliver. Clearly, General Berger like many others, understands the evil that must be eradicated.

We also have fedposts

The ‘hurricane’ implies forceful assistance from We the People who have some things to settle with the black hats.

Yeah, you and billions of others. Think Ukraine, Russia, all of Africa, China, India, pretty much the whole world…. except the small number of cabal members…

“You now have carte blanche, if you will”

Oh we most definitely will, Mr Trump. So the rule is any legal US citizen can levy a Pristine Citizen’s Arrest on any ATF, DHS, FBI, TSA, CIA, NSA representative? If they resist does the IA confer authority on any non-LEO to apprehend an illegal LEO now operating under species authority?

If IA ceded authority to military, why was Berger deferring to Trump this entire time?

And some schizoposts

Tanya Cousins and Rick Mason were scammed out of $36000 and are now having to live in a house bus.

What the couple didn't know at the time was that McKinley was just one of 15 different aliases for John Sinclair - a man now on home detention after scamming 28 victims out of $284,000 to fuel his gambling addiction.

Retiree Graeme Saxton and his wife lost $18,000 when they tried to buy a caravan to use to visit their only grandchild in 2021.

Shade advocated for Sinclair to receive a sentence of home detention so he could continue providing for his young family.

He struggles to believe the apology Sinclair gave during the sentencing "We've become collateral damage to his greed," he said.

"Unless you've been through it you don't really know how cruel it was ... it does feel good talking to people," Cousins said.

Pauline Billard via AP) TORONTO (AP) — Hundreds of thousands of people in Atlantic Canada remained without power Sunday and officials said they found the body of a woman swept into the sea after former Hurricane Fiona washed away houses, stripped off roofs and blocked roads across the country’s Atlantic provinces.

“Living in coastal communities we know what can happen and tragically the sea has taken another from us,” said Gudie Hutchings, the Member of Parliament from Newfoundland.

“People listened to the warnings and did what they were supposed to do and this was the result,” she said Prince Edward Island Premier Dennis King said that over 100 military personnel would arrive Sunday to assist in recovery efforts.

As of Sunday, about 45% of Puerto Rico’s 1.47 million power customers remained in the dark, and 20% of 1.3 million water customers had no service as workers struggled to reach submerged power substations and fix downed lines.

More on the three most popular white supremacist sub-genres on Spotify: Fashwave: A musical sub-genre of the Vaporwave movement (a non-extremist genre of electronic music), Fashwave was created to spread white supremacist ideology (Fashwave is derived from the word “Fascism.”)

The movement started in the British punk scene in the late 1970s.

As in the case of Wiking 1940, verified extremist artists are eligible for inclusion on Spotify’s curated playlists, which can introduce unknowing listeners to extremist music.

A public playlist curated by Spotify for Wiking 1940, note the inclusion of Kushfrost, a Rock Against Communism band mentioned earlier.

Listen 8 min Comment on this story Comment Gift Article Share ROME — Italy seemed poised on Sunday for a norm-breaking election that would give the country its first-ever female prime minister — and its farthest-right government since the fall of Mussolini.

She promises to maintain Italy’s Atlantic alliances and says the country won’t take an authoritarian turn.

On the campaign trail, the leader of Italy’s left-center party, Enrico Letta, argued that if Italians hand power to the right, they would be doing a favor for Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has tried increasingly to sow strife in Europe — primarily by withholding energy exports — as his invasion of Ukraine has faltered.

But she and her allies would have leeway on the issue of immigration.

At that point, Italian President Sergio Mattarella will begin consultations with the new parliamentary leaders and representatives from the parties, on forming a cabinet and selecting a prime minister.

The rapid turnover of governments — generally before leaders have time to follow through on promises — has amplified a sense of alienation.

r/worldnews thread

A truism of the internet, central to the work of researchers who study the spread of dangerous trends and misinformation, holds that attempting to discourage bad behavior can, if clumsily handled, reinforce the bad behavior by amplifying it to people who would have otherwise never considered it.

Which leads us to the NyQuil chicken.

In recent weeks, some people on TikTok, Twitter and other sites discovered years-old videos and images of people pouring blue-green NyQuil, a nighttime cold medicine, over chicken breasts in a pan or pot. It was, to be clear, a dangerous idea that no one should do --- it could lead to consuming unsafe levels of the product, and over-the-counter medicines should be used only as directed.

But it was not clear if people were actually trying it themselves in significant numbers; most people commenting were expressing horror at the concept or making jokes about it. There have been no reports of hospitalizations or deaths related to NyQuil chicken, a tongue-in-cheek recipe that first surfaced in the notorious 4chan forum in 2017 and also received a spike of attention in January.

Still, the new flurry of interest in recent weeks caught the attention of the Food and Drug Administration, which issued a straight-faced notice on Sept. 15 advising against participating in what it called "a recent social media video challenge."

"The challenge sounds silly and unappetizing --- and it is," the agency warned. "But it could also be very unsafe."

It laid out the science behind why it was dangerous, concluding that "someone could take a dangerously high amount of the cough and cold medicine without even realizing it."

The F.D.A.'s alert directly drew renewed attention to the dangerous dish. The next day, a few TV stations reported on the F.D.A.'s advisory, repeating the assertion that a dangerous trend was playing out. Days later, some of the nation's biggest media organizations followed.

And on Tuesday, it was a trending topic on Twitter, with reaction videos spreading on TikTok and links to news articles aplenty on Facebook.

The whole affair left NyQuil, which is produced by Procter & Gamble, on the defensive. Responding to people on Twitter who appeared to be treating the concept, also called sleepy chicken, as a joke, the company's Twitter account urged people not to try the recipe, declaring, "We do not endorse inappropriate use of our product."

According to Know Your Meme, a website that chronicles the origins of internet phenomena, the first known reference to NyQuil chicken came when someone documented their apparent cooking experience in 2017 on 4chan, an often noxious message board where trolling was common and few things were to be taken too seriously. A few others on YouTube and TikTok recorded videos of the stunt in the following years.

Janet Yang, a professor of communication at the University at Buffalo, first heard about NyQuil chicken after being contacted by The New York Times on Wednesday. She said the volume of coverage could inadvertently make more people think they should pay attention to the issue and divert attention from more immediate health threats, such as Covid-19 and monkeypox.

"Once it has that certain degree of volume or attention, basically you are making this more a real thing than it truly is," Professor Yang said.

The F.D.A. alert was unlikely to reach adolescents considering this behavior and was "clearly" written more as a warning to parents, said Corey Hannah Basch, a professor of public health at William Paterson University in Wayne, N.J.

"The F.D.A. took a certain step to raise awareness, but has it gone too far to be helpful at this point?" Professor Basch said. "Most likely because it's just brought many people to think about something they were not thinking about before."

It was unclear how many more people had tried it because of the recent attention. On Twitter, most of the images being shared in recent days were taken from the small number of videos recorded years ago. On TikTok, searches for #nyquilchicken, before the app limited access to that content, revealed mostly people newly reacting to the same years-old videos.

The F.D.A. did not immediately respond to questions about what prompted the warning or whether it had received reports of people falling ill from the practice.

On some of the most popular reaction videos, TikTok appended a warning: "Participating in this activity could result in you or others getting hurt."

"Content that promotes dangerous behavior has no place on TikTok," a TikTok representative said in an email. "This is not trending on our platform, but we will remove content if found and strongly discourage anyone from engaging in behavior that may be harmful to themselves or others."

In a grim precedent, some people really did eat laundry detergent packets in 2018 after a similar "challenge" based on Tide pods took off. And the F.D.A. cited a "Benadryl challenge" from 2020 that reportedly caused at least one teenager's death.

But no, despite news reports every year, people aren't putting razor blades or THC in Halloween candy.
