(vehicles of terrorism) Modified drone was used to launch attack on Pennsylvania electricity substation in first known targeted attack on energy infrastructure, Homeland Security says
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/...urity.html

SUMMARY POINTS: A joint report from Homeland Security and the FBI revealed a drone was recovered in June 2020, with a line of copper wire tethered to it. Its camera and internal memory card were removed, as were identifying labels. If the wire touched the plant's high-voltage equipment, a short circuit, power failure or fire could have happened.

From 2015 to 2019, 24 US nuclear reactors and fuel storage sites suffered nearly 60 drone incursions. 'The defenses are obsolete if terrorists can take to the air,' Kallenborn added. 'Drones are cheap, and easy to use. Critical infrastructure facilities need to worry about attacks from any direction.'

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission marked 85 percent of these drone incidents as 'unresolved,' but closed the cases anyway.

While the attack on the Pennsylvania substation doesn't appear to have been successful, autonomous drones may have already attacked and killed humans... (MORE - details)


(two-wheeled vehicles) Madison Cawthorn issues sinister warning to anyone opposing him: "Will run you over"
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/madison-c...qylmel2bk8

Actually himself as part of a group doing the running over. Twitter video: https://twitter.com/patriottakes/status/...5530248196

Early life & education: During the fall 2016 semester, Cawthorn attended Patrick Henry College, studying political science, but earned mostly D grades and dropped out. He said his grades were low primarily because his injuries had interfered with his ability to learn. Cawthorn said in a deposition, "You know, suffering from a brain injury after the accident definitely I think it slowed my brain down a little bit. Made me less intelligent. And the pain also made reading and studying very difficult."

[...] He was riding as a passenger in a BMW X3 SUV near Daytona Beach, Florida, when his friend Bradley Ledford fell asleep at the wheel. The SUV crashed into a concrete barrier while Cawthorn's feet were on the dashboard. In a 2017 speech, Cawthorn said that Ledford left him "to die in a fiery tomb"; Ledford publicly disputed this in 2021, saying that he pulled Cawthorn from the wreck once he escaped the vehicle. In their depositions, Cawthorn stated that he had "no memory from the accident", while Ledford said that he had helped rescue an unconscious Cawthorn.

[...] The injuries from the accident left Cawthorn partially paralyzed, and he now uses a wheelchair. He said he accrued $3 million in medical debt during his recovery; he has received that amount as settlement from an insurance company, as well as other payments, and as of February 2021 is seeking $30 million more.

Hard to believe he’s less intelligent than he was when driven around with his feet on the dashboard.
