#Russia may have recruited Ukrainian suspect behind Starmer arson via Telegram

Analysis of #Lavrynovych’s social media activity revealed that between 2022 and 2025, he actively searched for work through various Telegram channels aimed at #foreigners in #London. His most recent job-seeking post appeared in the London UA group on May 2, days before a car linked to #Starmer was set ablaze in London.

Poland blames Russia for an arson attack on a Warsaw shopping centre.

The fire broke out at the shopping centre in Warsaw on 12 May 2024. It burned down 1,400 shops, many of which were run by the city's Vietnamese community.

“We now know for sure that the great fire of the Marywilska shopping centre in Warsaw was caused by arson ordered by the Russian special services," Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk claimed.

Israeli propaganda is blaming Palestinians for the #wildfires but here are the facts:

It was the Jewish National Fund (JNF) that decided to plant non-native trees unsuited to the climate.

It was #Netanyahu who chose to spend millions on his private luxury jet instead of investing in a Supertanker firefighting aircraft.

It is zionist settlers who are repeatedly caught committing #arson — racist acts of fire terrorism targeting Palestinian land, homes, and livelihoods.

If you are a loooong-time reader of DataBreaches.net, you will likely recall a terrible insider breach in Canada that I reported in 2011 where, as a result of the insider wrongdoing, 13 people became victims of arson or were shot at!

There is now an update on the litigation stemming from that case.

"It is the kind of story that, not long ago, would’ve frozen the entire country. Instead, for most, it feels like background noise.

That’s what’s most alarming. Not just the violence, but how ordinary it now feels. We’ve been trained to accept political violence as if it’s just another day."

Fascist regimes feed on and breed violence. Violence is their raison d'être. They extend violence by normalizing it, making it appear everyday.

Patrick Murphy comments on how quickly the violent attack on the family of Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro receded from the news, and what this says about us:

"Perhaps the most dangerous thing about political violence today isn’t the violence itself. It’s how quickly we scroll past it.

That’s what happened this past weekend in Pennsylvania."

From the Desk of Honorable Patrick J. Murphy · What the arson attack on Governor Josh Shapiro’s home reveals about our broken country.By Patrick J. Murphy

The fire chief in Harrisburg, where Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro's residence is located, has described the firebombing as a "domestic terrorism incident." The man suspected of starting the fire, Cody Balmer, was denied bail at his arraignment today. He had previously expressed disdain for Democrats on social media — sources said his complaints were primarily related to financial issues. After turning himself in, Balmer allegedly told police he would have attacked Shapiro with the hammer he used to break a window at the governor's mansion. Here's more from @abc.
