Several others have been taken to hospital, the visibly emotional local sheriff says, adding that the blast is “devastating”.

    We’ve been looking into details of a blast in 2014 at the same location.

    Humphreys County Sheriff Chris Davis has just confirmed this took place at a unit which was being operated by a company called Rio Ammunition.

    Earlier, Hickman County Mayor Jim Bates described the 2014 incident as a “small ammunition explosion”.

    Reports from eleven years ago say one man was killed and three injured in that blast.

    https://rioammo.com/history/

    Ever since Alfred Nobel began manufacturing cartridges with Maxam in 1872, the entire RIO team has worked unceasingly to reach our current position.

    So the company that worked with Nobel and who had an explosion in 2014 at the same factory just had another explosion. Nobel, inventor of dynamite, also funded the peace prize. They just gave the peace prize to a Venezuelan asset. Venezuelan ships were blown up by Trump. The Nobel winner dedicated the award to Trump. Also AzkoNobel makes a lot of mil-spec paints used in the US military, and were probably present at the ship bombings. Swedish explosion technology and conglomerates paring with the US to be part of all these events that are happening almost at the same time. The confluence of history is something.

    I don’t know what’s more embarrassing and more of a security risk: whether this was sabotage (doesn’t seem to be the most logical target), or whether weapons factories in the USA just normally do that every now and then.

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:

  • To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).

  • To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.

  • To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.

We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.

  3. Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

  4. Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.

  5. Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.

  6. Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

  7. American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

  8. Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

  9. AI Slop: Don’t post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
