Video shows disgruntled employee start Ontario warehouse fire: ‘All you had to do was pay us enough to live’

A video allegedly taken by the twisted firebug who started the massive warehouse blaze in Ontario shows him lighting the blaze while apparently criticizing his employer.

Chamel Abdulkarim, 29, of Highland, has been arrested on two felony arson charges for torching the warehouse operated by consumer goods company Kimberly-Clark in San Bernardino County.

A video posted by an Instagram account bearing Abdulkarim’s name shows him lighting a goods on fire in the warehouse while taking aim at his company.

This has the potential to grow into something bigger than Mangione.

China Labor Watch (CLW) received a complaint last fall from one of the thousands of migrant workers brought to Hungary from China to help build BYD’s first European plant in the city of Szeged — a $6-billion investment intended to supply the European market with around 300,000 vehicles per year.

The secret, never-before-used CIA tool that helped find airman downed in Iran: ‘If your heart is beating, we will find you’

WASHINGTON — The CIA used a futuristic new tool called “Ghost Murmur” to find and rescue the second American airman who was shot down in southern Iran, The Post has learned.

The secret technology uses long-range quantum magnetometry to find the electromagnetic fingerprint of a human heartbeat and pairs the data with artificial intelligence software to isolate the signature from background noise, two sources close to the breakthrough said.

Iran calls on ‘young people’ to form human chains around power plants

Iran calls on ‘young people’ to form human chains around power plants

Iranian officials called on “young people” to form human chains around the country’s power plants, in a desperate bid to ward off promised U.S. airstrikes on the country’s power grid.

Tuesday will mark the end of President Donald Trump’s delayed deadline for Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz and strike a deal, or face the destruction of its power plants. With no signs of Iranian and U.S. negotiators nearing a deal, Tuesday will see whether Trump will follow through on his threats. As a last-ditch defense measure, lacking air defenses to resist the strikes, Iranian officials have resorted to calling on the country’s youth to act as human shields, betting that Washington will shy away from extensive civilian casualties.


Meanwhile the regime’s children live it up in the west.
