Capitol riot suspect receives asylum in Belarus
At least they didnt call it an insurrection! Kek
Minsk grants asylum to California man fleeing ‘political persecution’
US citizen Evan Neumann has been granted asylum in Belarus after fleeing “political persecution” by the FBI in the form of six charges stemming from his alleged participation in the January 6 riot in Washington, DC, local media outlets have reported. The Belarusian news outlet BelTA confirmed Neumann had received a document in the Department of Citizenship and Migration of the Internal Affairs Directorate of the Brest Regional Executive Committee affirming his refugee status.
“I’m glad that Belarus has taken care of me,” Neumann told the outlet on Tuesday, praising the “calm” country for giving him shelter while admitting he was experiencing “mixed feelings” because “my country is in trouble.” The newly-minted refugee is one of over 700 people to be charged with a crime after attending the “Stop the Steal” rally-turned-riot on January 6.
Neumann was charged with six counts in an indictment filed last March, including assaulting, resisting or impeding a police officer; obstructing law enforcement during civil disorder; knowingly entering or remaining in a restricted building without lawful authority; disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building; engaging in physical violence in a restricted building; and violently entering the Capitol and disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.
Initially traveling to Italy after allegedly finding himself on the FBI’s Most Wanted list, 48-year-old Neumann then traveled through Switzerland, Germany, and Poland to Ukraine, where he stayed for several months. However, he told Belarusian TV he soon came under surveillance there and opted to move on.
The former handbag manufacturer was detained by border guards upon trying to cross into Belarus in August, and subsequently requested asylum. Belarus does not have an extradition treaty with the US.
Neumann made a memorable (and possibly tongue-in-cheek) appearance on state media in November describing the difficulties of his voyage, from the “very challenging” process of escaping from the “quicksand” he’d supposedly fallen into, to the “swamps, boars, snakes, quagmires” he’d had to dodge in the course of his journey on foot through Pripyat, the Chernobyl exclusion zone – all of which was “new to me, of course.”
While the indictment against Neumann claims he was captured on video assaulting a law enforcement officer outside the Capitol, Neumann has maintained his innocence throughout, calling the charges – especially the accusation of hitting a police officer – “offensive”. He was reportedly identified in the footage by a “family friend,” who called an FBI tip line to report his name and hometown of Mill Valley, California.
During his appearance on Belarusian state TV, he claimed he would face torture at the hands of the authorities, arguing he needed “government protection” and praising Belarus for “resist[ing] the West.” He promised at the time to be a “productive and good citizen,” suggesting he might get a job in IT and lamenting that both Belarus and Russia were being demonized by western media, calling the sanctions on both countries “a form of terrorism.”

Chernobyl workers finally go home
The radioactive waste facility in Ukraine was operated by a single shift, without rest, for four weeks
The staff at the Chernobyl radioactive waste facility in Ukraine, the site of a major disaster in 1986, has been able to go home and rest for the first time in nearly a month since Russian troops seized the area.
A single shift had been operating the facilities near the defunct power plant non-stop since Moscow took control on February 24. They were finally able to go home and rest, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said on Monday.
A new Ukrainian team arrived to replace their colleagues, while 13 people from the previous shift declined to rotate, the Vienna-based agency said. Most Ukrainian security guards remained on site as well.
“It is a positive – albeit long overdue – development,” IAEA Director General Mariano Rafael Grossi said on Sunday when the long-awaited rotation began.
The new shift includes two supervisors instead of the usual one as a back-up in case of emergencies. Ukrainian officials at the plant thanked the outgoing workers for having “heroically performed their professional duties.”
Chernobyl’s reactor, which exploded in 1986, is covered by the ‘New Safe Confinement’, a large hangar-like structure that prevents further contamination.
The IAEA added that the Zaporozhskaya Nuclear Power Plant, which is also under Russian control, was operating at two-thirds of its maximum capacity after two damaged power lines were repaired. The agency quoted the Ukrainian authorities as saying that “safety systems were fully functional” at the plant.
Moscow attacked the neighboring state in late February, following a seven-year standoff over Ukraine’s failure to implement the terms of the Minsk peace agreements, and Russia’s eventual recognition of the Donbass republics in Donetsk and Lugansk. The German- and French-brokered protocols were designed to regularize the status of those regions within the Ukrainian state.

Australia eyes up US-style Space Force
Space is becoming 'more congested and is already contested,’ Australia’s defense minister is set to warn
Australia's defense minister Peter Dutton is expected to announce that his government will pursue the development of a US-style Space Force in the future, as the country’s new Space Command begins operations.
On Tuesday, Dutton will warn the Air and Space Power Conference that “space is becoming more congested and is already contested,” with China and Russia having developed hypersonic missiles that can travel faster than 6,000 kilometers per hour, Australian media reported.
During his speech, Dutton will declare that it is a “necessary endeavor, with a view to protecting our national interests and our need for a Space Force in the future.” The statement comes twelve months after the Royal Australian Air Force confirmed it was setting up a Space Command.
“Together with like-minded partners and the United Nations, Australia has long championed the responsible and peaceful use of outer space in accordance with international norms,” the minister is due to tell the conference.
The remarks, distributed to reporters ahead of his speech, will see him highlight how future warfare will lead to the “growing importance” of hypersonic missiles and space-based satellite communications. Space will “undoubtedly become a domain which takes on greater military significance in the 21st century,” according to the remarks.
The Australian Space Command is now in operation, albeit a “modest” form of similarly established bodies in countries like the United States. The US Space Force was formed in 2019 by then-President Donald Trump, becoming the first new American military branch in more than 70 years.
The Australian Space Command is currently led by Air Vice-Marshal Cath Roberts and incorporates personnel from multiple services, defense, public servants, industry contractors, and the Australian Space Agency.

Answer for a President not conceding butwhat it doesnt answer if its found out the election was rigged and the current President is there illegally!
Question:
What happens, constitutionally, if a president doesn’t concede an election and transition power?
Answer:
They will be removed on Jan. 20 of the year following the election.
Our Sources:
The U.S. Constitution and Constitutional law professor Dr. Mark Graber from the University of Maryland Law School.
Our Process:
Technically, a President doesn’t have to concede the election at this point.
According to the Constitution, the election isn’t official until after the Electoral College votes in December and Congress certifies it.
“The Senate counts the Electoral College votes, the Senate declares the winner,” Dr. Graber said. “Once the Senate declares a winner, it doesn't matter what the president says.”
Even after the election is official, the current president continues with full executive powers until Inauguration Day.
“At 11:59 a.m., January 20, Donald Trump [or any President] has all the powers of the President,” Dr. Graber said. “At 12 o'clock, he's got none of them.”
If the president still refuses to transition after the loss of those powers, at that point it does not matter.
“Just as you or I could be removed if we were staying in the White House and refusing to leave, so can the president be removed,” Dr. Graber said.
In 1963, Congress approved what is called the Presidential Transition Act. According to the law, it frees up funds to the incoming administration, gives them access to federal officials to transition federal agencies, and brings intelligence briefings.
We’ve seen this act withheld before in 2000. Back then-President Bill Clinton waited until the Electoral College meeting on Dec.14 to release the funds and access to the then-projected President George W. Bush.
