IDF foils $1.2 million drug-smuggling attempt along border with Egypt

Israeli troops foiled an attempt to smuggle drugs into Israel from Egypt on Friday morning, the military said.

According to the Israel Defense Forces, soldiers monitoring surveillance cameras spotted the drug smuggling attempt and dispatched troops to the scene.

Suspects from the Egyptian side tossed the drugs over the fence, apparently for accomplices on the Israeli side to later pick them up.

Stores Did Not Perform Well

The upcoming store closures come shortly after Walmart CEO Doug McMillon warned in December that retail theft is “higher than what it has historically been” and that if not corrected over time, “prices will be higher, and/or stores will close.”

“I think local law enforcement being staffed and being a good partner is part of that equation, and that’s normally how we approach it,” McMillon said in an interview on CNBC.

The CEO stopped short of stating exactly which locations could be shuttered due to rising theft incidents.

Walmart to Close Multiple Stores After They ‘Fail to Meet Financial Expectations’

Retail giant Walmart is set to shutter multiple stores across three states after they failed to perform as well as expected, a company spokesperson has confirmed.

A Walmart in southeast Albuquerque, New Mexico, is closing down in March after underperforming, as is the South Halsted Street, Homewood store in Illinois.

One store located at West Silver Spring Drive in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is also shuttering next month, a Walmart spokesperson told The Epoch Times in an emailed statement. Another is shuttering at Route 59, Plainfield, Illinois, in March.

The spokesperson said the decision was “not made lightly and was reached only after a thorough review process.”

Walmart has 5,000 stores across the United States.

The spokesperson added that some of the stores do not meet Walmart’s financial expectations and that while “our underlying business is strong,” the closing stores did not perform as well as the retailer had hoped.

“There is no single cause for why a store closes—our decision is based on several factors, including historical and current financial performance, and is in line with the threshold that guides our strategy to close underperforming locations,” the spokesperson said.

A third Walmart Pickup at McCormick Blvd. in Lincolnwood, Illinois, will close to the public by Feb. 17, according to Walmart.

“As this is a pickup and delivery-only location, we have taken what we learned from this location and made it part of how we operate pick-up and delivery from our surrounding stores, where we look forward to serving our customers,” the spokesperson said.

Biden Regime Quietly Frees One of 9/11 Terrorist Planners from Gitmo as the Whole Country Watches the Chinese Spy Balloon By Jim Hoft Published February 5, 2023 at 1:00pm

Majid Khan

As the whole country was preoccupied with the Chinese spy balloon last week, one of the 9/11 terrorist planners was quietly released from Guantanamo Bay in Cuba by the Biden regime.

On Thursday, Majid Khan, now 42, was moved to Belize, his legal team announced.

“Today, more than 16 years after he was brought to Guantánamo Bay and almost a year after he completed a military commission sentence there, pursuant to a plea and cooperation agreement with U.S. authorities, Majid Khan was transferred to Belize,” his legal team said in a statement.

Khan is one of the few detainees to be relocated to the Western Hemisphere and the first to be resettled under the Biden regime.

“He is the first of the prisoners transferred from secret CIA detention to Guantánamo in September 2006 to be released, and the first third-country resettlement by the Biden administration. Mr. Khan and his legal team are deeply grateful to Belize for offering him a chance to begin a new life.”

Governments deploy “nudge unit” to psychologically brainwash people into embracing “net zero society”

The United Kingdom has launched a new program to manipulate and goad people into accepting “a net zero society” as the solution to so-called “climate change.”

The Behavioural Insights Team (BIT), as it is called, was launched by the UK government in 2021 and eventually taken over by Nesta, a self-described independent charity focused on innovation. Nesta recently put out a “guide” outlining some of the techniques that are being used to psychologically provoke the general public into accepting a new normal to fight global warming.

Greenhouse gas emissions, the report states, are evil and must be done away with by the government. One way to do this is by launching a “nudge unit” to corral the human herd into embracing a future filled with green fascism and the loss of all freedoms, which we are told destroy the planet.

The stated purpose of the nudge unit is to brainwash people into living shackled lives for fear that if they don’t, the planet will melt, the oceans will rise, and everyone will die from the polar ice caps turning into water.
