Not Acceptable. And Not Acceptable. Discussion About Israeli Bombing of Lebanon or Anyone Bombing Anyone.

October 20, 2025
Picture at the link here:

There's a saying a picture is worth a thousand words.
I am only referring to two aspects.
One of course is the bloodshed.
The second may take more of an adult layer of eyes and assessment, however still very plain to all of any any age what the principle is. It's called inordinate oppression, or abuse, or as the Arabic language says, qahr.
Women in this photo are undergoing this referent sort of qahr, especially emotionally. That, no one has the right to do to anyone.

Is it necessary to pull up and quote today's translations of the Toreh? Or Quran?  Or Mr so and so's book on the manual of illegal abuse of human beings? Not necessary, to see what is evident.

No to scant rest, under nourished but still making it, prolonging agony, worrying every minute of a 24 hour day, and then, here comes another sickening set of scenes that indelibly mar the health of the mind, and claim the life or lives of near relatives, on top of previous waves of the same.

Stop.

Events of October 7th, a few seasons ago, already in consideration, so too moments of extremism upon descendants of different bloodlines, groupings and ancestries going back through the ages, from manna and quail being sent down, (bread to balance your diet, etc.), to oppression in Azerbaijan region in the late 1800s, on through the Holocaust.

Lebanon has been through taking brunts of a mission said to be an Israeli mission back around the 1980s as a reference time frame.

Summarily, all of the extreme oppression is off.  Not to ramble, 'you know what I'm talking about'.
The cult of sadistic violence getting started, revived, or perpetrated.


Afterwords 
The link to the above photo at the AP news story, is https://dims.apnews.com/dims4/default/66a8cbd/2147483647/strip/true/crop/6000x4000+0+0/resize/1198x798!/format/webp/quality/90/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.apnews.com%2F1b%2Fa4%2F66cab4db79a3ab75e3d1fbef5e04%2Fbd33df54d5414f579410879c1958107c

It might be pushing plagiarism, however, this story is a discussion respective the content of what is in the photo.

I remember the Lebanese American poet and writer, Sam Hamoud, who used to hold back on publishing photos depicting gratuitous violence, out of respect for the health of humanity, (regardless of what their personal religion walk of life was). 40 years later, the types of incidents and acts of oppression, where viewers of the news better not see actual photos and footage that led up to the moments at the funeral afterwards, seem to be making their way into persisting.
 

Promise in the USA. Calls Today for Discussions About Going in Retrogression Circles. An Outline.

October 14, 2025
Trying to stay as positive as possible, is an aim. Trying to stay as positive as possible given some of the advents and challenges going on right through here, is becoming increasingly difficult due to that presenting the sheer facts affects the flow. 
This outline is one of many; a number of news outlets have caught in to the trends, and major concerns.

The New York Post has a story out somewhere between today and yesterday citing an individual who is reported to have murdered a man that was reported to have already had charges on him having to do with his daughter, running for sheriff in Arkansas (which he may have the right to do), while the cease fire efforts (which the USA for some reason out of almost 300 other countries in the world is one of the most prominently publicly known involved player in the talks, plus the money spent) surrounding Ghaza seem to have gone to almost no avail in terms of keeping the peace. It may be the discussion has to do with microcosms of the situation. Lots of real folks are probably saying along the lines that a 67 year old suspect that already had charges has absolutely no business being seen with not to mention seen again with, a 14 year old, the same 14 year old, and hitting close to home, one's own daughter. The suspect was shot, he died. Perhaps had a sheriff seen the same scene unfolding, sheriff would have taken the same action. Self-defense laws definitely on the table here. 

The markedly lopsided human trafficking type stuff that's in the atmosphere these days, although it might not qualify as pedophilia per se based on everyone's definition, is way out of bounds, in existence and in prevalence.

Here is the HCN outline, with some major events that could serve as microcosms, as not all are going to be caught in put in one brief list. Some of the oxymorons, 'possible' conspiracies, conflicts of interests, retrogressive trends, going around in circles leading you back where you started, and 'hey, this behavior is getting you nowhere', is jotted below:

To start, that sentence above, might already be enough said, and too much said, pushing the envelope of respect. It might trigger others to take action. Positive and correct is needed and wanted to see. (Negative, out of control action is what is not an objective, and it can be ill-afforded).
It is understood that there are folks striving, to maintain a nice country, have the promises of the promised land, and keep making things better.

Which brings up a matter right there. Those hard working Americans striving, 'might' be getting at least some of their actions and efforts, taken advantage of.
Believers doing do. Fine. 
Let's be candid for a moment. The Americans that had to get up, fully ready with equipment and everything else, say around 6am, morning after morning, to do as their superior directed them to do, to get illegal immigrants off the street, which involves putting their lives on the line, and while stepping away from their families, if anything happened to them while on the job, it puts their families in danger, was a markedly salient undertaking over about the last 6 months. Maybe some protestors and politicians don't really understand that aspect and dimension. Even though there may have been complaints voiced, each individual involved in the effort to reduce illegal immigration had to put forth an effort and sacrifice. They are to be thanked for their service, regardless of the little mishaps here and there. 

Their service for the most part comes at cost. They are paid for work. A few days after the progress has been made benchmark was made clear, illegal immigration has been significantly reduced, here is government shutdown.

That statement aloof from the ingredients that are said to have brought about the shutdown, for example, 'disagreements over the Big Beautiful Bill'.

Look, 'government shutdown' is so freakin' dangerous it cannot be harped on enough. Reference guidance from Dr.; there are folks with doctorates, put nicely, in the economy and subjects like that, that know very, very well, the dangers and outright trajectories of failure, when a government shutdown is in place.

Halts in government funding can do or have already done, detriments like, government websites are not even on nor manned to report crimes, violent crimes, and other elements that foster unruliness; the very same unruliness that the men and women that were out there day after day suppressing illegal immigration in the effort to suppress violent crime, were just doing.
It is not just the payroll for individuals with a gun on their hip, a baseball hat, and a badge, that can be affected by funding lows; they might still be getting some funds out of the pockets, but there are many aspects in the larger picture that make the machine work; the phones that answer the calls, the technology for communications and the people that maintain that, the roads, the lighting and so forth.

In Baltimore City, the 395 bridge, a major artery into and out of the city, did not have most of the lights on, at night, during the rain. If a truck or your bus tall enough to topple over the side hits the blockades.. they are going to be plunging into the water. That's exactly the kind of stuff, in addition to protective forces not at maximum readiness, that's being talked about.

You can write down theories about the affects of government shutdown, write out math formulas, and say, this is how far we can go and won't go, but what happens on the practical working level, moment to moment, can be a little different, or a lot different, especially when that last weakest link in the chain, becomes the vulnerability that gets taken advantage of, and disaster happens.

From darkness to light, is a trusted adage. When you turn that around, and go from light to darkness, you can be setting yourself up for failure. Starting with the literal, no street lights, more crime.
No functioning communication systems, no crime report system manned, no one there to make a response to the reports, no response, emergency responder hero moments that won't even exist. Again, government shutdown is not wise.

Many woke up this morning to the news of several mass shootings.

Once again, mass shootings gaining a grip, chewing away at dignity

Leland, in Washington County Mississippi was the site of a mass shooting over last weekend that claimed the lives of over several and wounded about 20 others.
A sad aspect, it has taken several or more days for the news to become national, probably for at least 2 reasons, one, adaptation to new culture of accepting mass shootings are another everyday event like someone's dog snapped off the leash and ran across the road, or some garbage got skipped over on pickup day the result of snow.

A second reason is the information among law enforcement might be moving more sluggishly than normal, due to, government shutdown.

Since when does the safety of anyone anywhere in our yard become second rate backseated news?

   Mississippi school shootings over the past late week through weekend, October 10th and 11th 2025:

Right there, seriously looking at the prospect of assessing the situation as lawlessness, and ridiculousness for 2025.

Saint Helena Island shooting. 2 dozen people shot. Wee hours of the morning at a bar. It appears a school related event might have been in the background. A female teenager was among the fatalities.

Wichita, Kansas, 4 injured in shooting

Dallas, Texas, about a half dozen shot and injured at a strip mall

   Saturday the 11th of October
Youngstown, Ohio, 4 people shot in an incident.
Meanwhile, Youngstown becoming an increasingly known salient spot for the meth epidemic. Small town fairy tale area, becoming a big town in the news everyday for the wrong reasons.

Wrong reasons are the wrong reasons, and need to be addressed, law is law

Already pointed out about the man running for Arkansas sheriff. The story comes not too long after a man took to public speaking floor about repeat offenders still in the street, after an offender took his daughter's life.

Issue list in brief has the guideposts that includes, repeat offenders, (seriously repeat offenders), on the street, repeating the same and sometimes deadly crimes; petty gangs that engage in activities like rob the sweatshirt store in one city, wear the sweatshirts like they're a gang uniform in another city, and rob, murder, distribute drugs, use their vehicles to crash into stores late at night to early in the morning and burglarize, stake out areas of cities and assert it's a high crime area, try to take drug turfs in areas that could care less for the drugs they're distributing, then have the nerve to try to take over larger and larger portions of US government; moreover, those petty gangs are rapidly forming more affiliations and relations with foreign terrorists, sitting up in night spots that used to be frequented by patriotic Americans that moved out the neighborhood for safety of their families. The game of scam, victimize, threaten, then shoot when things don't go their way, and occupy structures and areas that they didn't build, they didn't design, and not trying to make safer, is becoming more and more widespread in a growing number of cities, pertinently in the USA (the main scope of this discussion).

The spot where US law enforcement got stuck, was the backlash when they may gotten too forceful or there was a perceived too much force involved, and law enforcement or at the direction of superiors, backed down in the backlash, calculating that more outcry could cause more damage, unruliness, unrest. Resultantly, there were folks in the protesting rage that were clearly, way out of bounds, and should have been approached, or at least had their assault rifles they were brandishing in public view taken away, maybe apprehended. Here's why. What - is a teenager that knows virtually nothing about the political process, not qualified for law enforcement, probably has used drugs or even had drugs in his system, not a member of neighborhood safety efforts in the main such as before and after the main event, doing with a big assault rifle in the first place? Did he buy that rifle legally? Probably not. Well he's still out there running around with it, as well as concealable guns and ghost guns. If he's not shooting people, he probably is willing to lend to someone that will. 

A reference, the 'Minneapolis Riots' of May 2020.

Now that those sub Saharan/ Sahel region African groups, from east to west Africa spanning a space about twice the size of the Continental US, of boys training for militant takeover are seen in videos, plus other collar crime like the news noted by 'Ghinis in Ghana gained from fraud, happens to about matchup or all but matchup the same fellas in the mix of some of the violence ridden protests in the US, and the petty gang activities, and vehicles used for bashing activities, and the trafficking of drugs and persons, the message that needs to be sent is becoming so apparent, it should not be necessary to plainly say. Said anyway, the madness has to stop, right now. 

No group of 20 teenagers with makeshift masks on their faces is going take over the Capitol Building and fly some silly gang flag over top it, that might sum up their long range pipe dream, and that might be where things are headed if this lax on crime and repeat offenders are as free as free birds trend does not stop.

Helping hand hands tied, inability/awkwardness

Might be ventured to say, the USA keeping good relations with the Philippines, is also ipso facto just said, good. Historically, over at least the past couple of hundred years, the US has been maintaining good relations. The Philippines got hit hard with an earthquake that did some serious damage. Was that calculated in the US government shutdown what-ifs? Maybe to a degree, but the vagaries of what goes on in a chaotic scene of tectonic plates shifting around, is hard to calculate until it happens.
Ordinarily, the we, the US, may have jumped right on it with big time rescue efforts. The bottom line, unless it's majoratively volunteer effort, money. The cost it would take to help out. It's usually up around the millions in today's value of money in general, to start up getting ready to head out, to conduct a large rescue mission. Then there's the principle, if we have that money, and a government shutdown is going on, shouldn't those funds be used to help yourself first? So there the conundrum, reach out and assist, which could help with good relations, or don't assist because we need to save the money to save ourself, with the hope that if we do, maybe next time we'll be in the position to help during a major catastrophe, like an earthquake, what going on now. Or is the cost of cementing peace more valuable?, so go help as you can? All of those questions are made simpler to address without a government shutdown.

Not only has the Philippines been affected by natural disasters, but also...

Historic proportion situations current include-
  • Yemen, floods; estimates are 80 fatalities, 100 injured, 400,000 people affected
  • Spain, wildfires; northwest area, estimated 400,000 hectares affected
  • Nepal, heavy rains; eastern and southern regions especially, about 4 dozen fatalities
  • Canada, wildfires; Nova Scotia area continues
Russia Ukraine deal, with respect to the US.
Talk over Tomahawk missiles. Isn't it evident Russia pulls on heartstrings in its attacks on Ukraine? Hospital recently struck. How many times has headline news all over the world read, Russia strongest attack yet? Some people got it. War history erudites, Russian history erudites know full well that, just like the US did, the same nation in Russia that sent a man on the moon over a half century ago easily by far easily without a twinkle in the imagination necessary, able to intercept a tomahawk or any other kind of missile to the degree it's almost a mute conversation. The only device that might make it is a Lord given it's the end of the world, and still might struggle getting through.

Missiles cost money. Defense spending costs money. Spending for defense measures of allies, costs money.

Circling back to the 'Big Beautiful Bill' being the eye of the storm giving rise a government shutdown moment.Being real, at least when the Big Bill first came out, when read, anyone that's even sat in on an English 101 class can see that around 30% of the content in the 200 plus page bill, is information repeating itself, in English class, it's called redundancy.How about a a beginner level editing job, and at least revise the bill to delete repeated information. But that has struggled to be done, and now we are at government shutdown, all the way over in extreme right field or extreme left field, a last last resort. ?. Whoever is behind facilitating government shutdown or shutdowns from a negative social engineering standpoint, purposely aiming for the sole objective of government shutdown regardless of a rationale, needs to be culled out.

I'm not going to digress into what some of the legal mechanisms are to stop the madness, like find out who they are and just go arrest them guys; there is more than enough folks already onto the issue, that are probably at the cusp of crashing the recurrent shutdown fiesta they've been holding. Basically, there some individuals that might not really be us, doing a wondrous display of pretending, and maybe fooling some of us some of the time, but as the saying goes, can't fool all of us all of the time. Time's up.

Reference President Abraham Lincoln.
Does that man sitting on the Lincoln Memorial, referring to the statue of him, nod his his head yes, or no, to the government shutdown and situation in its entirety, going on right now? When you drive by it, check and see.





 

Just One Corner of a Corner of the Illegal Drug Megalith, Lower Ranking Danger Drugs in the US and UK, Trafficked Through the Mail

September 25, 2025

Think that the recent crackdowns you might have seen, heard about, or even witnessed in real life, especially amid tenacity against illegal aliens has been inordinate? Think again. What you have seen in the past 6 months might have ministered to about an estimated 5%, to be respectful, of the monster sized drug problem in the US. The number might be closer to 2% or lower in other opinions. A number of narcotics dismantling and seizures that appear to have gained huge amounts of attention in the media, seem to have the story focus mainly on popularly known drug names like fentanyl, meth, and cocaine, a segment of the drug problem. The US drug challenges is just a few dots in the heap of the global drug problem.

Food, shelter, and clothing, a cliche for the 'necessary things' everyone needs; these days, in terms of what can be expected as being a part of global economics, unfortunately is food, shelter, clothing, and drugs, as when not everyone gets the healthy amount of food, shelter, and clothing, chances are, they are going to go through some pain, and reducing pain is where a lot of drug problems that may have started out legal, at some point immediate or further down the line, often turn illegal. The drug problem has gone way too far. It is destroying nations.

Nations shouldn't have to go there- such as placing a video camera on every public and private mailbox and mail courier.


To save a situation of having to write out a screed tirade the size of 4 or 5 PhD dissertations on all the different kinds of insects on the major planets, (thousands and thousands of pages,) here is a brief summary that limits the scope to three aspects, just the US and the UK, lower ranking drugs such as in their risk and danger, referring to drugs in the US that might not be schedule I and II, and drugs in the UK that might be lower than class A and B, and thirdly, just drugs trafficked through the mail, such as through local post offices.

What might be deduced, is all those videos of ICE and the DEA clobbering illegal immigrants and dismantling major drug rings, are foremost indeed a noble effort, but, might be just a few steps taken, and relatively a few dents made into a larger, broader problem.

It may popularly appear to public that basically ICE and reduction of illegal immigration efforts are going hand-in-hand with drug enforcement efforts, as illegal immigrants can facilitate the illegal trafficking of drugs into the country, and the obvious vice versa, crackdowns on illegal drugs can be potentially reduced by reducing numbers of illegal immigrants that illegally traffic drugs.

The story still hasn't begun yet.

What tipped the story, is the combination of Scotland's recent gang wars, wherein huge amounts of drugs and connected finances are reported to have been involved, and a recent law enforcement takedown in the Hull area of the UK, about 50 miles east of Leeds, of a family that was seeing some prosperity taking advantage of the postal system to drug traffic.

Meanwhile, takedowns of drug trafficking in airports in both the US and UK have received significant media glamorization in the past few months.

The following does use the help of AI, due to immediate availability of data, so please read with that discretion upon confirming accuracy. Like what was said, here is only a brief summary, not even the tip of the iceberg, of just one corner of one corner of the global drug problem:

AI says 9/25/25:
Statistics from the U.S. Sentencing Commission on the percentage of drug trafficking cases for each substance provide an indication of which drugs are most commonly seized and prosecuted.

Trafficking cases by substance (FY 2024)

Methamphetamine: 45.8%

Fentanyl and analogues: 22.1%

Powder Cocaine: 19.5%

Crack Cocaine: 3.8%

Heroin: 3.3%

Marijuana: 2.6%

Other: 1.8%

Oxycodone: 1.1% 

AI says 9/25/25 as to the volume or amounts of drugs trafficked through the US postal system:

"It is impossible to know the exact total amount of drugs trafficked through the U.S. Postal Service (USPS), since authorities seize only a fraction of what is actually sent. However, official seizure data from the U.S. Postal Inspection Service (USPIS) shows that thousands of pounds of narcotics are intercepted annually. 

Key facts and statistics on drugs seized from the U.S. mail:

USPIS seizures for FY 2020 In fiscal year (FY) 2020, the USPIS and its partners seized 124,000 pounds of illegal narcotics and nearly $39 million in illegal proceeds from the mail.

Seizures during a 9-month period (Oct. 2021–June 2022) From October 2021 to June 2022, the Postal Inspection Service reported the following seizures:

Methamphetamine: 7,189 pounds seized in 1,607 seizures.

Cocaine: 5,393 pounds seized in 1,727 seizures.

Fentanyl: 4,038 pounds seized in 1,554 seizures.

Heroin: 99 pounds seized in 126 seizures.

Fentanyl increase[:] The amount of synthetic opioids, such as fentanyl, seized from the U.S. mail increased tenfold in the five years leading up to March 2023."

AI says 9/25/25 "In the U.S., drugs are classified into five schedules under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA), based on their potential for abuse, accepted medical use, and potential for dependence...

Drug schedules defined

Schedule I

These drugs are considered the most dangerous. Illegal drugs fall under this category, and are defined as substances with:

A high potential for abuse.

No currently accepted medical use in the U.S.

A lack of accepted safety for use under medical supervision.

Examples: Heroin, LSD, ecstasy, and marijuana. 

Schedule II

Drugs in this category have a high potential for abuse that can lead to severe psychological or physical dependence, but they also have accepted medical uses. 

Examples: Cocaine, methamphetamine, fentanyl, oxycodone (OxyContin), and Ritalin. 


Schedule III

Substances with a moderate to low potential for physical and psychological dependence and abuse potential less than Schedule I and II drugs are in Schedule III. Examples include Tylenol with codeine, ketamine, and anabolic steroids. 


Schedule IV

Schedule IV drugs have a low potential for abuse and dependence compared to Schedule III substances. Examples are Xanax, Valium, Ambien, and Tramadol. 


Schedule V

These substances have the lowest potential for abuse and are primarily preparations with limited quantities of certain narcotics used for purposes like cough suppression. An example is cough preparations with less than 200 milligrams of codeine."


AI says 9/25/25 regarding renown drug laws and classes in the UK: “In the UK, the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 categorizes drugs into Classes A, B, and C based on their perceived risk of harm."

According to Wikipedia as of today 9/25/25:

"The act sets out four separate categories: Class A, Class B, Class C and temporary class drugs.

Class A includes cocaine, heroin, morphine, oxycodone, fentanyl, MDMA ("ecstasy"), methamphetamine, opium, LSD, hydrocodone, DMT, mescaline extracts,[a] and psilocybin/psilocin (magic mushrooms).

Class B includes cannabis, synthetic and semisynthetic cannabinoids, ketamine, amphetamine, codeine, methcathinone, barbiturates, mephedrone, methaqualone, methylphenidate, GHB, and GBL. Any class B drug that is prepared for injection use becomes a class A substance.

Class C includes benzodiazepines, xylazine, pregabalin, and most other non-barbiturate tranquillisers; tramadol, gabapentin; anabolic steroids, nitrous oxide, khat, substituted piperazines, and substituted cathinones.

All other psychoactive drugs except alcohol, caffeine, and tobacco (or other approved nicotine preparations) are controlled under the Psychoactive Substances Act 2016 and Medicines Act 1968."

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misuse_of_Drugs_Act_1971

The takedown in Hull, UK, what happened, how the suspects did it, and how the suspects got caught:

The "operation that saw Daniel Cotson post large quantities of unlicensed Class C drugs - including zopiclone, diazepam and temazepam - across the UK through local shops and post offices. They were sold online with payments funnelled into his bank accounts before being transferred to his parents, Paul and Stephanie Cotson, who invested £460,000 while also claiming benefits.

Suspicions were raised when a staff member from a shop in Hull city centre raised concerns about packages being sent out by Daniel Cotson. Staff at the store carried out a security check and one of the parcels was found to contain blister packaging filled with tablets.

Police officers then attended and seized 32 postal bags believed to contain controlled drugs. CCTV enquiries confirmed Daniel Cotson regularly visited the shop where he was sending out the parcels. He was arrested on May 17, 2021, during one of his visits to post drugs and he was found with two postal bags ready to send out."

Scotland, and the gang wars

AI says 9/25/25:

"The drugs involved

While many types of drugs are trafficked, seizures, drug-related deaths, and violence point to specific substances fueling the gang wars.

Cocaine: Gangs fight fiercely over the cocaine supply, which has become one of the most profitable commodities. A specific feud in 2025 was reportedly sparked by a £500,000 cocaine deal. Cocaine was also a factor in 41% of Scotland's drug-related deaths in 2023, the highest on record.

Benzodiazepines: These drugs are heavily implicated in drug misuse deaths in Scotland, involved in 56% of fatalities in 2024. Illicit benzodiazepines, including counterfeit tablets ("street Valium"), are a major factor in the drug death crisis.

Synthetic opioids (nitazenes): Extremely potent synthetic drugs, such as nitazenes, are a growing concern. Police found a nitazene drug lab in Ayrshire in 2025, which also led to a reduction in illicit benzodiazepine supply, suggesting a link between the markets.

Cannabis: Along with cocaine, cannabis is one of the most common commodities supplied by organized crime groups in Scotland."

Notable recent multi-national cooperation May 2025, according to the US DOJ website:

  • Operation RapTor occurred.  
    • Arrests of 270 dark web vendors, buyers, and administrators in Austria, Brazil, France, Germany, the Netherlands, South Korea, Spain, Switzerland, the UK, and the US.
    • Seizures of over:
      • $200 million in currency and digital assets,
      • 2 metric tons of drugs, 144 kilograms of fentanyl or fentanyl-laced narcotics
      • 180 firearms  

Concluding words
Round and around, or could be round and around if it goes there, law enforcement chases down traffickers and their designs, while traffickers try to obfuscate and continually improve on their designs plausibly based at least in part on what they think they know about law enforcement's methodologies to catch them. At the end of the day, dangerous, and illegal drugs, are still dangerous and illegal drugs no matter what schedule or class they are in.

 

Besides Air and Drone Defense, an Amplified Look at Undersea

September 23, 2025
Developments as with many technologies, are ramping up on a global scale.
Erudition at this moment might not be as much as popular products in the US today, like cell phones and the Internet, however, adeptness of undersea capacities and vulnerabilities might become a must.

Here is a Google AI overview of where undersea issues may be prevalent:
"Undersea cables are a global issue in several vulnerable geographical areas, including the Red Sea (due to conflict and maritime traffic), Africa (where infrastructure is susceptible to accidental damage and vulnerability), the Baltic Sea (due to its commercial shipping routes and potential for sabotage), and generally in critical telecommunications choke points and shore zones where cables make landfall. Both accidental damage from ships and intentional actions from state or non-state actors pose risks to these vital digital lifelines. "

CSIS.org says,
"An estimated 90 percent of communications between Europe and Asia and 17 percent of global internet traffic traverse cables under the 14-mile-wide Bab al Mandab Strait.

The Yemeni government warned in early February that Houthi rebels might target undersea cables.
...
Internet cables near Svalbard and the Shetland Islands were cut in 2022, the same year the Nord Stream gas pipelines were sabotaged. Last year the Balticconnector pipeline between Finland and Estonia was damaged along with two subsea cables..."
https://www.csis.org/analysis/red-sea-cable-damage-reveals-soft-underbelly-global-economy

DPP in Taiwan concerned. [Per Taiwan Cabinet]. "The proposed legal changes would increase penalties for intentionally damaging infrastructure such as submarine communications cables, undersea power lines, and pipelines for water and natural gas"
https://www.taiwannews.com.tw/news/6203736

Framework perhaps making it a pertinent current issue is "gray zone".

RAND says in July 2025 article Undersea Cables Are Vulnerable to Sabotage—but This Takes Skill and Specialist Equipment,
"Critical undersea infrastructure (CUI) as these connections are known, supports about US$9 trillion (£6.6 trillion) worth of trade per day. A coordinated attack on this network could undoubtedly have devastating consequences."
https://www.rand.org/pubs/commentary/2025/07/undersea-cables-are-vulnerable-to-sabotage-but.html

Key words/terms/phrases:
  • CUI
  • critical infrastructure
  • undersea submarine communication cables
  • undersea power/pipe lines

 

Volatility and Instability Appear to be Recurring Themes About Unrest in Nepal and Indonesia

September 17, 2025
A complete rundown on everything that has occurred amidst unrest, destructive behavior, and protesting since September 1 of this year, 2025, might take years to compile. As we speak now, DNA techniques are being used to identify the remains of some of those lost, especially in Nepal.

There is a label going on in popular media called 'Gen-Z' or 'Generation-Z', supposedly receiving the blame of whose behind the protesting. Gen and Generation supposedly refers to a generation of young adults about 20 years plus or minus a few years old as of today in 2025.

Perhaps what comprised the protests in terms of the ages of the masses of people, might be individuals from that generation and age group.
However, and there's a big however, there is (to be respectful, plausibly), more to the motor or motors behind the mayhem than just numerous 20 year olds under decentralized leadership upset because of impediments set forth against freely expressing biological themes uncomfortable with 'religious conservatives' on social media.

There is coordination in the protests which eventually grow in magnitude and unruliness and morph into attacks.

One of the NGO, 'non-governmental organizations' said to be behind the push for confronting Nepal government aspects, is [in English] Hami Nepal. (Translation for 'We are Nepal's, might be a reasonably practical English translation.)

The group gained traction post the founding after a devastating earthquake years back. Although the advent that may have been the causation of the materialization of the group was natural disasters, contrasted to for instance, a man-made advent like a coup-de-tat attempt, now that the group is up and running, it has caught the eye of those that sense they should be watchful of it.
Everyone watching the group, may not all necessarily be on the same page; there could be those on the right and those on the left for instance.

Hami Nepal, is said to have been started by a Mr Gurung. His first name when written in English, is Sudan, yes, written out just like the country that sits south of Egypt.

Meanwhile, as analysts study the composition of the protestors, common denominator similarities of other activities and dimensions of society being noted may arise.

There are other challenges in both Nepal and Indonesia besides Gen-Z protesting.

Drugs, that's right drugs, the infamous global narcotics and drug problem, including sales, distribution, usage, trafficking and connected other types of trafficking like human and weapons trafficking that typically go with it, purchasing, manufacturing, mixing with other substances, masking substances and a while bunch more, exist in Nepal and Indonesia, like it exists in numerous other countries.

Often there is a large amount of the petty crime and user base of the drug game and arena on the basic levels, apparent to the public, comprised of relatively naive teenagers and young 20 somethings, which happens to be pretty much one in the same with Gen-Z.

Where are some of the places volatility and Instability come in? First, instability is often used in global politics to refer to stability of an economy or government; that's not really what's being discussed here. Discussed here is more physiobiological and emotional volatility instability, and of entities and organizations.
For example, young protestors ramped up intensity of protesting and went charging toward a government building, or significant infrastructure. There may be some questions as to the wisdom of doing that from a safety standpoint, knowing that defense forces would react. Whoever led them or leads them into that, probably was not a naive 20 year old, (but rather someone plausibly older and with more seasoned experience in social engineering that gets people hurt). Then the next leg of the hurtful process, the reaction by defense forces, where in some places in the world, line spots in Nepal and Indonesia, may have soldiers or members that are young and in their 20s, 'following orders', (by someone more seasoned and older), and in certain circumstances, may carry out activities that can materialize as very awkward or uncomfortable. For example, a protestor winds up getting rolled over by a tank. 

Note that a 21 year old was run over by a tank recently, which is reported to have contributed to an increase in some of the unrest.

In brief, usually what winds up happening is the 20 year old soldier with more weapons and bodily protection, conducts oppressive anti-protesting measures on the 20 year old protesting counterpart. The third leg then appears, where that dominoes into infuriating the mass of 20 years olds even more leading to more unrest, more anti-protesting, around and around and eventually a violent clash results. Clashes could be a reaction or recurrent.

What happened in recent weeks in Nepal, is that a Prime Minister is said to have stepped down, in the timeline after the spare of heightened unrest. Unrest included a jail break of about 15,000 persons, a large superchain that employs about 20,000 people was targeted, perhaps a mall of some kind as well, and a parliament building.

Now there is an interim PM, in the first female in history to hold that post. The elections are supposedly going to be held in 2026.

As shown by the protests, there are no guarantees. The cliche, man plans... but what really happens, may be something else.

Again respectfully, different countries where they have their equivalents to what the US has in the State Department, seem to have distributed safety precautions that differ somewhat. There appears that there may be no guarantees to 100% guarantee and rely in terms of a potentials that could happen, hopefully they don't happen, on; such as 'contact the authorities if you feel you are in danger'.

When and if the authorities like a junta that emerged or guerilla group that took over a territory, is one in the same as the danger you are calling in on, it is obvious to see it is a dangerous equation, that can leave you in even more danger than you started.
Therefore the soundest advice might be the safest precaution, which is to avoid at least certain regions when unrest is taking place. Do not rely on a swift skip to the airport as a recourse, the airport might be a hotbed of risks as well.

Food, shelter, clothing, shelter, equal treatment and equal access to jobs, economic stability, and upward mobility, have been longstanding ideals. Not to say simply it's ironic, because again, there is an expectation for the normal person to have a need for food at some point, need shelter in harsh weather conditions, and have clothes on their back, if not them, their children and family or subjects under their leadership, but in places like Nepal and even Indonesia, at least in ancient times and even through today, all those material ideals, are shed by certain classes, and that's what made the venerated individuals, some of whom became leaders and objects of study in leadership topics.

Wrapping up for now, when both sides have vulnerability, volatility, and instability, young protesters on one side, and protesting suppressors on the other, plus, whatever it is either side might get into or try to get into when things go awry, or just try to go awry, or foment or try to get things to go awry, might spell out that there is a recipe for disaster actually in the pot cooking.

One incident was at Brown University in Rhode Island.

Incidents may be just below the level of severity of a mass shooting, or low mass shooting, but serious enough to be considered a mass related, escalated incident.
