[ArianaNews] The Islamic Emirate has rejected report that the US bombs left in Afghanistan are ending up in the hands of Mexican cartels.
Fox News 29 San Antonio reported on Wednesday that although many of the explosives seen in Mexico are homemade, the number of those coming from Afghanistan has gone up.
Ari Jimenez, retired Homeland Security Investigations Special Agent In Charge, said that the way the improvised explosives are built is more like those seen in the Middle East.
Enrique Alfaro, Governor of Jalisco, Mexico said: "In an act that we have not seen before here, with improvised explosives, seven explosives were detonated killing six and injuring 12."
IEA, however, rejected the report.
"Afghanistan neither produces explosives nor it has explosive storages. Moreover, Afghanistan does not have access to Mexico and it is not easy. So how can this allegation be true? Unfortunately, some circles are hostile to Afghanistan and make such accusations which we reject," IEA’s front manZabihullah Mujahid said.
The Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction, which is a U.S. government entity, estimated that about $7 billion of new equipment was left in Afghanistan after the United States’ departure.

Wiki: Zabihullah Mujahid is an Afghan official serving as the chief spokesman for the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (Taliban). He has been serving as the Deputy Minister of Information and Culture since 7 September 2021. He has long served as one of several spokesmen for the Taliban terrorist group, the others being Suhail Shaheen and Yousef Ahmadi. He is a senior Taliban official who previously served as the spokesman of the Taliban. [In sum, he lies.]
Top intelligence chief changed profile pic to Palestinian flag two weeks after the October 7 attack that claimed 1,200 Israeli lives
Previously she had posted a selfie with the words 'Free Palestine' superimposed
Comes as hundreds of White House officials reject President Biden's official line and demand ceasefire in Gaza
A growing revolt within the Biden administration at his handling of the Israel-Hamas war has reached the top ranks of the CIA after a top analysis chief changed her Facebook profile to a Palestinian flag.
More than 400 administration staff signed an anonymous letter earlier this month demanding the President seek an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.
Another 1,000 employed by the US Agency for International Development echoed the call, but State Department officials have refused to crack down on the dissent, instead holding 'listening sessions' with staff as unrest grows.
Now it has emerged that a CIA associate deputy director for analysis changed her Facebook cover photo to a picture of a man waving a Palestinian flag just two weeks after the brutal Hamas attack that claimed 1,200 lives.
The chief who had responsibility for presenting the President's daily intelligence briefing, previously posted a selfie with the motto 'Free Palestine' superimposed on the photograph, the Financial Times reported.
'The public posting of an obviously controversial political statement by a senior analytic manager in the middle of a crisis shows glaringly poor judgment,' one former intelligence official told the paper.
'Given the CIA's longstanding incredibly close relationship with the Israelis in a liaison capacity, this would be highly irregular for a senior agency official,' said another.
The chief is one of three people responsible for approving all analysis disseminated inside the agency, and has also published posts on Facebook taking a stand against antisemitism, a colleague said.
'The officer is a career analyst with extensive background in all aspects of the Middle East and this post was not intended to express a position on the conflict,' they added.
But State Department officials are thought to have deluged with protests through the official Dissent Channel system, set up in the wake of the Vietnam War to allow staff to vent protest at official policy
[Daily Caller] The top CIA official who changed her social media cover photo to a pro-Palestinian image two weeks after the Hamas terrorist organization carried out attacks on Israel is Associate Deputy Director for Analysis Amy McFadden, the Daily Caller News Foundation has learned.
The original Oct. 21 photo of a man waving a Palestinian flag — often used in articles critical of Israel — is no longer publicly visible on the official’s social media, as the official, the associate deputy director for analysis at the CIA, changed the image after the Financial Times reached out Monday, the outlet reported. The DCNF identified the official as Amy McFadden, who has served in the CIA Directorate of Analysis front office since 2020, according to her LinkedIn profile.
McFadden worked in the CIA’s Counterterrorism center, was deputy in the Office of North African, Arabian Peninsula, and Regional Analysis and later was director of the President’s Daily Brief, according to her biography.

"The officer is a career analyst with extensive background in all aspects of the Middle East and this post [of the Palestinian flag] was not intended to express a position on the conflict," a person familiar with the situation told the FT. The person added that the official also posted Facebook posts opposing antisemitism.
The official previously oversaw the assembly of the President’s Daily Briefing and is jointly responsible for managing all analysis distributed within the CIA, the FT reported.
After the FT reached out, the official deleted pro-Palestinian content from her Facebook page going back a year and a half, the FT reported.
In a separate post, the official also posted a photo with the words "Free Palestine" overlaid on the image, the FT reported, though this image was reportedly posted years ago.
"CIA officers are committed to analytic objectivity, which is at the core of what we do as an Agency. CIA officers may have personal views, but this does not lessen their — or CIA’s — commitment to unbiased analysis," a CIA spokesperson told the DCNF.

"The official previously oversaw the assembly of the President’s Daily Briefing [PDB] and is jointly responsible for managing all analysis distributed within the CIA...
The importance of the PDB should not be underestimated. It is used by the CIA to its own benefit, and not necessarily to that of this country.

Why would anybody not expect the tools of government to cooperate with Uncle Joe's Straw Man.
You know, his undying support of Israel. He's holding the line against the deep...well, let's not get ahead of ourselves. But it's a terrible struggle especially on the days he's conscious.
Old Joe stands alone, Israel's only ally. Even the CIA chick fights him at every turn. Oh noes.
[NYPOST] How to win hearts and minds — especially at the holiday season?
Step 1: Do not do what the chaos merchants behind organizations like Within Our Lifetime are doing with increasing frequency and impunity.
That is, interrupt our commutes by squatting on highways and bridges and at train stations for hours; destroying property; and orchestrating chaos during our cherished holiday traditions.
Within our Lifetime (which bills itself as a Paleostinian-led community organization) and other agitators are proudly Scrooging their way through the festive calendar and screwing over hard-working New Yorkers and tourists in the process — all in the name of activism.
They really revved up their holiday offerings by gluing themselves to Sixth Avenue during the Macy’s Thanksgiving parade.
They splashed red paint all over the beloved New York Public Library flagship, causing $75,000 of disgusting damage.
And an anti-Zionist organization shut down the Manhattan Bridge on the holiday weekend.
And for the latest act de résistance?
On Wednesday, Within Our Lifetime plans to throw the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree lighting into disarray. "Flood the tree lighting for Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... " reads the call to the group’s 135,000 Instagram followers.
"Flood" — the same word Hamas ...one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbund millipede,... used to describe the October 7 attack in which some 1,400 innocents in Israel were killed and more than 200 kidnapped.
It’s a new war on Christmas and the West.
The annual televised tree-lighting spectacular, which draws families and tourists from near and far, is a worldwide symbol of the Christian holiday and reverberates with people of all faiths.
Some of the enthusiastic comments on the Within Our Lifetime post urge people to bravely "mask up" and "disrupt." Those are their values: mayhem, done with the privilege of anonymity.
We saw it when masked marauders tried to kick in Grand Central Station and climbed street poles — replacing American flags with Paleostinian ones — on the eve of Veterans Day.

Well, the DC Xmas tree fell over in the wind and is supposed to be a total loss, so they'll have to find a different punch bowl to piss in.
Biden's tree falling over is such a heavy metaphor that you have to wonder...

The tree is normally delivered with a root ball and planted temporarily. That didn't happen this year because of the fear of some sort of fungal infestation being brought from wherever the tree came from.
But setting up a cut tree with guy wires isn't exactly rocket science either.

May 2, 2018 "In the spring of 2012, a group of about 20 people met in New Orleans to discuss the formation of a new network. The Within Our Lifetime (WOL) network is now a national network of 100+ racial equity and racial healing organizations with an audacious vision: to dismantle racism within our lifetime. As #45 [?] was about to be inaugurated on January 17th, 2017, we shared this letter with 80 foundations and funders’ networks on what foundations can do to deepen movement building and work for justice. We received responses from members and funders thanking us for our leadership and signaling their alignment with our recommendations.
[Dawn] The narrative of Taliban ...Arabic for students... 2.0, being put forward by many in Pakistain — that the new Taliban regime is better than the previous one — has totally collapsed, security and policy analyst Huma Baqai said on Sunday.
Speaking at the launch of her book, Collected Works on Foreign Affairs and Security Policy at the Adab Festival, she called for attention to the condition of women and their rights, girls’ education and Afghan soil being used against the state of Pakistain to substantiate her argument.

To be fair, it’s not as though the Red Cross has actually tried. Compare to the Nazi era, when the Red Cross regularly visited Jews and others in the concentration camps, and even delivered care packages to the residents, without having any impact on their treatment or survival rate whatsoever. One can see how they might feel there’s no point in similarly wasting their time now, even though that’s a key point of the hostage negotiations, and even just proof of life would be useful to the Jews.
[IsraelTimes] While both Israeli and US officials have insisted that the ongoing truce deal between Israel and Hamas ...a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",... includes a clause requiring the Red Thingy to visit the hostages who have not been freed by the fourth day of the temporary ceasefire, no such visits have been reported.
The Red Thingy has repeatedly refused to confirm that it has been notified of this clause of the truce, but insists that it will visit the hostages if both parties agree that it should.
Hamas has yet to publicly confirm having agreed to such visits and has never in the past allowed the Red Thingy to visit those it has kidnapped.
Asked whether the Red Thingy has been able to visit the hostages, a spokesperson for the humanitarian agency refers The Times of Israel to earlier statements asserting that its staff would do so if both parties approve.
[IsraelTimes] Talks are underway to possibly extend a truce between Israel and Hamas ...the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,... and expand the list of eligible hostages who could be released in coming days, the Wall Street Journal reports.
According to the report, citing people familiar with the negotiations, Egypt and Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi... are mediating talks that could see the deal extended by up to another four days. Hamas already agreed to release 50 hostages in exchange for 150 prisoners and a halt in fighting for four days, a deal that expires on Tuesday.
According to Egyptian officials quoted by the paper, elderly men could be released along with women and kiddies, followed by the remains of the dear departed. Hamas has refused to consider releasing non-elderly Israeli men, the WSJ reports, though many of those captured were civilians.
Hamas has not yet produced a list of hostages it would be willing to release, the paper reports, citing Qataris and Egyptians.
[IsraelTimes] Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi... says that negotiations for the release of Israel Defense Force soldiers held hostage by Hamas ...the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,... will begin after civilian hostages are freed.
In a press briefing, Qatar Foreign Ministry spokesperson Majed al-Ansari says, "The current priority is the release of civilian hostages, women and kiddies, then will come the turn of the military ones," he says.
Highlighting the role of Qatar alongside Egypt in mediating for the freedom of the abductees, al-Ansari also says that the Gulf country cannot at this moment confirm the release of any additional Israeli hostages beyond the 20 that are slated to be released in two groups of ten today and tomorrow according to the terms of the two-day extension of the truce agreed to by the parties.
"Qatar is supporting all regional efforts to achieve a permanent ceasefire in Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage.

It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

[Twitchy] This report is from last week, but it just crossed our timeline. The New Arab reports that the rainy season has hit the Gaza Strip, worsening the plight of 1.7 million Palestinians displaced "due to Israel's war on the besieged coastal enclave."
So the streets in which the Palestinians were celebrating on October 7 might be overrun with sewage? That's a shame. Might be over run with sewage? How can they tell?
How do their multi-level tunnels do when water is running in the streets?

[IsraelTimes] Near-daily attacks on US forces in Iraq and Syria have stopped since a truce between Israel and Hamas ...a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",... went into effect last week, the Pentagon says.
American forces in the two countries have been targeted with rockets and drones more than 70 times since mid-October — a surge in violence the United States has blamed on Iran-backed forces.
"There have been no attacks on US forces in Iraq and Syria since November 23, since the operational pause began," Pentagon front man Brigadier General Pat Ryder tells journalists.
The attacks have caused injuries to dozens of American personnel — who are in Iraq and Syria as part of efforts to prevent a resurgence of the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... jihadist group — but all have since returned to duty.
