Afghanistan is experiencing a nationwide internet and mobile blackout ordered by the Taliban on September 29, 2025, to combat "immoral activities," following weeks of fiber-optic cuts in provinces. NetBlocks reported connectivity dropping to 14% of normal levels, disrupting essential services, flights from Kabul, and contact with international news agencies. The UN urged restoration of access, warning of harm to the economy and a humanitarian crisis in the isolated nation. This marks the most extensive shutdown since the Taliban's 2021 return to power.2. Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed alarm on September 30, 2025, over U.S. President Trump's "Golden Dome" missile defense plan, which includes space-based weapons, fearing it could neutralize Russia's nuclear arsenal. The initiative, announced in May 2025, aims to create a multilayered shield against ballistic and cruise missiles. Russian state media highlighted concerns of an arms race escalation. Putin reiterated Russia's strategic systems' ability to counter such defenses.3. Google searches for "help with mortgage" reached their highest level since 2009 in August 2025, drawing attention from Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who blamed the Trump administration. NewsNation confirmed the spike via Google Trends, though the chart Warren shared peaked in 2008. Experts note this doesn't signal a housing bubble, as delinquency rates remain low at under 2%, far from 2010's 11% peak. Foreclosure filings rose 5.8% year-over-year but are minimal compared to the Great Recession.4. A recent study analyzing over 600,000 cases found that more than 99% of cardiovascular events like heart attacks and strokes are preceded by at least one detectable risk factor, such as suboptimal blood pressure or smoking. Researchers emphasized the potential for global prevention through early intervention. The findings challenge the idea of sudden cardiac incidents without warning. Similar patterns held in U.S. and Korean cohorts, with elevated blood pressure as the most common marker.5. A 40-year-old Marine veteran, Nigel Max Edge, was arrested on September 28, 2025, after allegedly firing an assault rifle at a North Carolina waterfront bar, killing three and injuring eight. Authorities described the attack as "highly premeditated," with Edge suffering from PTSD and a possible traumatic brain injury from Iraq service. He faces murder and attempted murder charges, with prosecutors considering the death penalty. The incident shattered the peaceful coastal community during a live music event.6. Thomas Jacob Sanford, a 40-year-old Marine veteran from Burton, Michigan, was killed by police on September 28, 2025, after ramming his truck into a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Grand Blanc Township and opening fire, killing four and injuring eight. Friends said Sanford harbored resentment toward Mormons from a past breakup with an LDS girlfriend, viewing them as "the antichrist." He served in Iraq from 2004-2008 and had a son with a rare genetic disorder. The attack, one of two Marine veteran-involved shootings that weekend, included setting the church ablaze.Thank you for listening to News on Knees, a community prayer podcast by Story King Media.
