So, latest update about the Norwegian owner of the company linked to the terror attack in Lebanon...

He was on a business trip to the U.S. when the attacks happened. VG, a Norwegian news outlet, writes that he got on a plane to Boston on Tuesday, but never attended the conference he was scheduled for:

The man was to attend a conference in Boston on behalf of his Norwegian employer, according to VG's information.

VG has seen documentation that the Norwegian arrived in the USA on Tuesday.

Nevertheless, he never took out his name tag or registered at the conference, the organizer told VG.

He's (probably?) still in the U.S., but no one has heard from him since Wednesday 👀

Norwegian citizen linked to the pagers that exploded in Lebanon (Norwegian state media NRK, machine translated)

According to several media, the company is registered in Bulgaria's capital Sofia and is owned by a person with Norwegian citizenship.

The webpage of the company the Norwegian is linked to contained a presentation of various technical and advisory services as late as around 11 o'clock on Thursday. It has since been emptied of content and now only displays a message about missing content.

PST [Norwegian Police Security Service] is aware of the claims from various international media that a Norwegian-owned company is said to have been involved in the sale of pagers. PST cannot confirm this information, nor can we provide further comments on the matter, communications director Trond Hugubakken writes to NRK.

Several Norwegian media outlets have tried to get in contact with him. He's registered on an address in Oslo, and was apparently (and still is I think?) on an oversea business trip when the terror attacks in Lebanon happened. One newspaper (VG) went to his address and knocked on his door. They got no response. When they asked his neighbors, they were told that they haven't seen the man since the summer vacation in July.

It was the man's own employer (in Norway) who reported him to PST:

The man's employer informs VG that he was called by an American journalist sent on Wednesday evening and made allegations about the employee's connection to the company in Bulgaria.

"I checked some links and was able to see the same as he had put. When I receive information that apparently looks serious in such an inflamed case, it was natural for me to notify PST immediately," says the man's employer

edit: from CBS, revealing the name of both the company and the Norwegian owner (Rinson Jose):

Separate records reviewed by CBS News show that Norta Global Ltd. was registered as a company in Bulgaria in April 2022, with its sole owner listed as a Norwegian citizen named Rinson Jose. Global Norta is described on its website — which has since been taken offline — as offering a range of services "from outsourcing, consulting, tech and payment integration, analysis, promotion of techno products and services, as well as the estimation and processing of relevant commercial transactions.

[-] Sasuke@hexbear.net 42 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

what i've gathered from scrolling through his twitter account:

  1. he's a huge NATO guy
  2. fanatically obsessed with ukraine
  3. extremely mentally unwell

edit:

also extremely anti-china, pro-taiwan independence, former tulsi-crank, mccaine voter, became a weird ramaswamy guy, asked elon if he could buy a rocket to fire at putin.

hasan is also playing a video rn where he's going around on the street randomly asking people to sign up for something (i think fighting for ukraine), and saying he's looking for revolutionaries???

edit 2:

Palestine to apply for BRICS membership after upcoming Kazan summit (Anadolu Ajansi, 26.08.2024)

Russian state news agency TASS quoted the Palestinian ambassador to Moscow, Abdel Hafiz Nofal, as saying that Palestine will lodge its application for joining BRICS after attending the summit.

"Russian President Vladimir Putin promised that one session would be fully devoted to Palestine," the Palestinian ambassador said.[...]

"This invitation means that despite all the crimes, killings and destruction in the Gaza Strip, our message is that Palestine wants to live and to develop," Ambassador Nofal added.

vibes-based reporting: i've been browsing r/fauxmoi today, a reddit-logo celebrity gossip sub that's been very pro-palestine but extremely 🌴🥥 pilled since biden crossed the west wing bridge (rip). now though, after the grim spectacle the DNC put on, the mood is souring. all the most upvoted electoralism posts are back to be critical of kamala and the democrats, with people starting to realize that maybe she's not be the fun aunt they can project all their political hopes and dreams onto.

Based Tariq we love to see it. Respect to anyone still talking about Palestine and not jumping on the embarrassing circus that this week has been while children are having their heads blown off (600+ upvotes)

it really seems the democrats have done a great job of killing off the good-vibe momentum they had going for them. literally snatching defeat from the jaws of victory <3

brat summer has come to an end; we're entering fight song fall.

the specter of joever lives on.

This issue of the international edition of Wenhua Zongheng (文化纵横) explores the widely debated topic of de-dollarisation. The articles examine the US dollar’s hegemonic status in the international economic order, efforts across the Global South to develop alternatives, and the role of the BRICS in this process.

We are herbivores in a world of carnivores. It is a power politics world, yet we still have in mind that through trade and preaching the rule of law we can have influence on the world. We must still preach the rule of law but we have to be aware there are some leaders that need to be dealt with in a different way.”

Borrell predicted the war in Ukraine, and the eventual outcome, would be one of the three driving forces creating a new world order, alongside competition between China and the US, and the rise of the global south.

He admitted he was no fan of the term “global south” to describe such a heterogeneous group of people but that an entity existed that “consider themselves part of an alternative to the western models”. He said it was critical to “try to avoid the alliance of China plus Russia, plus parts of the global south.

“The people of the global south want to be recognised because 40, 50 years ago, when the world order was built, some of these countries did not exist. Either they were colonies or so poor they did not have a vote.

“So now they are independent countries and they have been growing economically, demographically, and they want to have a say.”

He added: “Understandably these countries are hedging. One day they look at Russia , another at China. At the UN they vote against the war in Ukraine but many of them do not have this feeling of moral indignation that we have.”

From OpIndia (archived link)

In a new low of diplomacy, the Ukrainian advisor to the President of the war-hit country made bizarre claims about India and China in an interview that came days after the successful organization of the G20 summit in Delhi. Mykhailo Podolyak said, “What’s wrong with India, China, and so forth? The problem is that they are not analyzing the consequences of their steps, these countries have weak intellectual potential, unfortunately.”

Mykhailo Podolyak further said, “Yes, they invest in science. Yes, India has launched a lunar rover presently and is now trekking on the surface of the Moon, but that does not indicate that this country fully comprehends what the modern world is about.”

sorry for more submarine posting but...

The submersible was engineered specifically with this sort of expedition in mind and with the help of NASA. It's probably one of the most technologically advanced private submersibles in the world.
