Capital of Belgium and the European Union, home of NATO headquarters, Brussels has a festering drug problem.

We have been reporting here on TGP how Belgium has slowly become a narco-state.

And Brussels’ top prosecutor is hitting out at the unsustainable situation.

Julien Moinil says ‘he demanded more resources’ to battle drug-related issues that have become a scourge in the Belgian capital.

He complained today that his demands were ignored.

As he addressed a new series of shootings, he ranted: ‘I don’t see a reaction — no concrete help’.

Politico reported:

“The Belgian capital witnessed a recent wave of violence across various municipalities, including an attack on a police station in Anderlecht and multiple shootings in Molenbeek and Saint-Gilles.

‘As you can see, this hellish streak, which has been going on for several years, continues’, Moinil said, adding that Brussels has already seen 69 gun-related incidents in 2026, against the 102 that took place in 2025.

The incidents reported in Saint-Gilles were linked to a fight between two drug-trafficking gangs. Still, innocent citizens were caught in the crossfire, the prosecutor said: In one attack, clients of a pizzeria had to seek cover from the flying bullets.”

The Brussel Times reported:

“Brussels police and prosecutors are increasingly dealing with French minors being recruited to take part in the city’s drug trade, with dozens arrested in recent weeks and months.”

[Brussels prosecutor Julien Moinil] said they are often recruited through social media, although investigators have also identified links between Brussels-based and French drug gangs. Moinil has ordered a detailed analysis to establish exactly how many minors are involved and where they come from.

The findings are expected soon, but the issue is already creating serious difficulties for the Brussels justice system.

‘These are easy targets for drug gangs, and they are easy to replace’, Moinil said. [Also,] French minors arrested in Brussels often have to be released because there is no room to hold them. Moinil said those young people should ideally be taken in closer to home, through the French youth care or justice systems.”

A 24-year-old repeat criminal living in Minneapolis has been charged after stealing an American flag from a medical office building in Edina, attaching it to his vehicle and dragging it down the street on Wednesday.

If that wasn’t crazy enough, the man returned the same afternoon to shred the flag after bystanders chased him off and recovered it.

Mahamud Hassan Mahamed was booked on a misdemeanor charge of fourth-degree damage to property.

Crime Watch Minneapolis obtained videos of the incident and posted them on X.

Alpha News reports:

Late Wednesday afternoon, Crime Watch received new messages from two separate people stating that Mahamed had returned to the Edina property and “shredded” the flag.

One of the sources told Crime Watch that Mahamed had subsequently been trespassed from the property. A check of jail records showed Mahamed had been booked into custody on a misdemeanor tab charge of fourth-degree damage to property.

Court records show Mahamed has at least one active felony case on a charge of threats of violence stemming from an April incident with another party at his south Minneapolis apartment building. A court hearing on the charge was scheduled for Wednesday, the same day as the vandalism. Records indicate that probable cause was found, and a jury trial was scheduled for Nov. 16, 2026. Minnesota court records also show that Mahamed has at least five prior convictions on traffic-related cases.

Mahamed was also arrested earlier this month and booked into Hennepin County Jail on a probable cause charge of DWI but was released pending a formal complaint.

As of Thursday afternoon, he remained in custody on $2,000 cash bail or $200 conditional release.

It appears Mahamed has since been released and is due back in court in December.

A 63-year-old man set himself on fire in the lobby of a Manhattan building that houses Google offices and the NYPD’s Internal Affairs Bureau on Friday afternoon.

The incident occurred just before 3 p.m. in the Hudson Square building, according to the NYPD and FDNY.

The man reportedly walked into the lobby wearing a backpack and was suddenly engulfed in flames.

Just before 3 p.m. today, a 63-year-old man walked into the lobby of a Google building on Hudson Street and went up in flames.

Witnesses placed multiple 911 calls, and first responders quickly arrived at the scene.

“At first I thought they were shooting a film or something,” a building worker who witnessed the incident told the NY Daily News. “I saw the flames in the lobby. Then the flames were running around the lobby, and security was trying to put him out.”

“One of the security guards came out of the building with the burning backpack and threw it into the street,” the building worker added. “The others inside put him out with fire extinguishers. When they brought him out, he was terribly burned, all wrapped in bandages. I don’t know if you want to live that way. It was terrible.”

The man was taken to Weill Cornell Medical Center, where he is reportedly in stable condition. Witnesses described severe burns on his arms, face, and upper body.

No injuries to any bystanders were reported.

Law enforcement has not publicly identified the man or announced a motive.

The Daily News report added:

Police found a collapsible baton inside the bag, but have not recovered any political leaflets that would suggest an act of protest. The man did not make any statements before going up in flames, cops said.

A building worker, who asked to remain anonymous, said he reviewed surveillance footage that shows the man entering the building around 2 p.m., leaving, and then returning to the lobby about an hour later, where he burst into flames.

A Google spokesperson told the Daily Mail that they do not believe the act was aimed at them.

“We are aware of an incident that occurred today in the lobby at 315 Hudson, a building we share with other tenants.”

“While the individual appeared to be seeking access to another tenant’s space in the building, we remain in close contact with local authorities,” the statement continued. “We are grateful to first responders.”

A judge threw out a key confession made by 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohmmed just two weeks before the 25th anniversary of the September 11 terror attacks.

This is the latest blow to the federal government.

Recall that in July 2024, under the Biden Regime, three September 11 masterminds reached plea deals with the US government, the Department of Defense said.

Khalid Sheikh Mohammad and his co-conspirators Walid Muhammad Salih Mubarak Bin Attash and Mustafa Ahmed Adam al Hawsawhi will avoid the death penalty in a pre-trial plea deal reached.

An appeals court later canceled that agreement, so the death penalty is back on the table.

3,000 Americans were killed in the September 11, 2001, terror attacks on the Twin Towers in New York, the Pentagon, and a downed plane in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

On Friday, the New York Post reported that a military judge tossed out a confession by Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.

Khalid Sheikh Mohhamed is currently detained at the Guantanamo Bay Detention Center (Gitmo), a US Military prison in Cuba.

His trial is scheduled for 2028.

The New York Post reported:

A military judge on Friday threw out a key confession made by the self-proclaimed mastermind of the 9/11 attacks — in a major blow to the feds that could derail the already long-delayed case.

Head plotter Khalid Sheikh Mohammed’s 2007 statements made to FBI investigators were not voluntarily given, trial judge Lt. Col. Michael Schrama wrote in a bombshell ruling.

The US military did not make the decision public — citing a “security review” — but sources familiar with its contents said the judge axed Mohammed’s confessions from the case in the ruling, saying the admitted terrorist was subject to “severe coercion” from FBI agents.

“The prosecution has failed to prove by a preponderance of the evidence that Mr. Mohammad’s statements to the F.B.I. were voluntarily given,” Schrama concluded, according to the sources.

The decision comes just days after Schrama set Mohammed’s trial for June 2028 — with the 25th anniversary of the world-altering Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, which killed nearly 3,000 people, looming in two weeks.

The head military prosecutor overseeing the case, Rear Adm. Aaron C. Rugh, said that he would review the ruling and “make a decision on whether to appeal in the near future.”

A grand jury on Thursday returned an indictment charging Melissa Farris, 41, of Kentucky with two federal counts related to vandalizing the World War II Memorial.

The Justice Department announced the two-count indictment on Friday afternoon.

“On August 27, 2026, a grand jury in U.S. District Court returned an indictment charging Farris with one count of Destruction of Veterans’ Memorial and one count of Destruction of Government Property. A court hearing is scheduled for September 3, 2026,” the Justice Department said in a press release.

“According to the criminal complaint filed on August 14, U.S. Park Police were called about 2 p.m. on August 13 for a report of a disorderly person. A witness told officers that they had observed a woman spray painting graffiti on portions of the Atlantic Theatre Pavilion of the World War II Memorial at the eastern end of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool,” the DOJ said.

“The World War II Memorial stands as a lasting tribute to the courage of 16 million Americans who served during World War II and the ultimate sacrifice of the 405,399 who gave their lives defending our nation and the freedoms we hold dear. Defacing it is an affront to their service and sacrifice. We will use every tool available under federal law to ensure this conduct is met with justice,” US Attorney Jeanine Pirro said.

On August 13, Farris allegedly turned the World War II Memorial into her personal stage. She spray-painted “Clean Hands Dirty $” across the Atlantic Pavilion, splattered the site with additional paint, and poured a soapy substance into the fountain that sent bubbles cascading over the memorial to the 16 million Americans who served in the war that saved the free world.

Jeanine Pirro previously called Farris’ actions a “despicable attack on a sacred monument.”

“This morning, we are filing two felony charges, Depredation Against Property of the United States and Destruction of Veterans’ Memorials, in Federal District Court against Melissa L. Farris, offenses that carry penalties of up to ten years in prison,” Pirro said.

Somehow, the impossible keeps happening. Dead people are voting.

Either they are awaking from their graves to head to the polls and vote, or something fishy is happening.

An Oregon County Clerk appears to have registered nearly 400 inactive voters in a single day.

The Gateway Pundit reported,

A shocking new election-integrity investigation out of Oregon has uncovered hundreds of suspicious voter records, including dozens reportedly belonging to dead people, and one record allegedly showing a woman voting 14 years after her death.

Independent journalist Right Side Rebel reported on X that Douglas County Clerk Dan Loomis registered 397 inactive voters in one day under instructions from Democrat Oregon Secretary of State Tobias Read’s office.

Right Side Rebel, working with election-integrity investigators Samantha Frost and Richard McNamara, said they have already confirmed that at least 40 of those individuals are deceased. More than 100 are reportedly listed as over 100 years old.

But the most explosive discovery involved a voter who allegedly died in 2008 yet was credited in Oregon’s election system with voting in 2022, 14 years after her death.

If America is a government of the people, for the people, and by the people it should really be the people (the living ones) who decide our elections.

Every time a dead person’s vote is counted, a living person’s vote is nullified.

Every American, regardless of political party, should want secure elections.
