Hurricane Ian is headed for Florida. It's not a game. Evacuations have taken place in the state for a time now. Also, Iran has made landfall in western Cuba on early Tuesday. This Category 3 storm is a life-threatening storm too. The hurricane is very dangerous and people in Charlotte County are preparing for the damage and storm surge. People predict the storm surge from Ian in Florida to be well above 10 feet. Many people in various parts of the state are urged to leave their homes immediately or seek shelter. People with RVs and mobile homes are being told to evacuate from Flagler County. The Hurricane is well over 100 mph in its top sustained winds. Venice, Florida is suspending potable water services to the island starting at around 8pm. on Wednesday. Universal Orlando resort themes parks close due to Hurricane Ian as well. Port Charlotte, Fort Myers, Punta Gorda, and Naples are in the crosshairs now. People staying in Florida are advised to leave their homes and if they are stuck, stay in their area, not outside. Ian is unlike any Hurricane in Florida for decades. The storm is a Category 4 storm now with winds up to 155 mph. It could strengthen further which is messed up news.
The seditious conspiracy trial of Oath Keeper leader Stewart Rhodes is taking place. The Oath Keepers is a far-right militia group who supports Trump and was involved in the violent, treasonous attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. Rhodes is being accused of being in a seditious conspiracy to attack the U.S. Capitol building. The federal government is accusing him of using teams of Oath Keepers to rush into Washington, D.C. from Virginia on January 6, 2021. Many of these terrorists have said that Trump ordered them to do these abhorrent actions at the U.S. Capitol. We know of the Roger Stone interview, the Trump aide testimony, and other evidence showing a conspiracy against American democracy and against the American people. Roger Stone, on tape, said profanity and wanted legal election results to be gone by violence. The Oath Keepers hypocritically claim to support the Constitution, but they were involved in a conspiracy to end legal constitutional processes like the peaceful transition of power after a legal 2020 election took place.
Many courageous people in Iran have protested the death of Mahsa Amini. She was in the custody of Iran's "morality police." Iran is a theocratic, authoritarian state since 1979. Women face massive oppression in Iran, and human beings in Iran desire freedom and democratic rights. Protests in favor of real freedom in Iran and justice for Mahsa Amini have existed worldwide too. Masha was only 22 years old. Iran has massive social and economic complications too. The bourgeois state in Iran has been filled with imperfections. Amini was arrested for "improperly" wearing a hijab by the morality police. Reports suggest that she was severely beaten by the police. Some accuse the police of hitting her in the head with a baton and slamming her against a police vehicle. The police claimed that she died of health problems, but Amini's family said that she had no health issues. The Iranian government has fired live rounds at protesters in Iran. Amimi was a Kurdish minority in Iran. For decades, the Shah brutalized Iranian citizens (being funded by America and the West). Since 1979, a theocracy existed. Iran should be free but not a U.S. puppet state. It should have its own independence free from oppression and authoritarianism.
