[AlAhram] Sudan's transitional government announced on Friday that it has overturned a moral policing law and moved to dissolve the country's former ruling party, fulfilling two major demands from the country's pro-democracy protesters.
Rights groups say the Public Order Act targets women and is a holdover from the three-decade rule of toppled autocrat Omar al-Bashir ...Former President-for-Life of Sudan He came to power in 1989 when he, as a brigadier in the Sudanese army, led a group of officers in a bloodless military coup that ousted the government of Prime Minister Sadiq al-Mahdi and eventually appointed himself head cheese. He fell out with his Islamic mentor, Hasan al-Turabi, tried to impose shariah on the Christian and animist south, resulting in its secessesion, and attempted to Arabize Darfur by unleashing the barbaric Janjaweed on it. Sudan's potential prosperity has been pissed away in warfare that has left as many as 400,000 people dead and 2.5 million displaced. Hee was overthrown by popular consent in 2019. Omar has been indicted for genocide by the International Criminal Court but nothing is expected to come of it... "This law is notorious for being used as a tool of exploitation, humiliation & violation of rights,'' Prime Minister Abdallah Hamdok tweeted in reference to the overturned law. "I pay tribute to the women and youth of my country who have endured the atrocities that resulted from the implementation of this law.''
The Public Order Act was first passed in 1992 by al-Bashir's Islamist government and enforced only in the capital, Khartoum, before being applied nationwide four years later. The Shariah-inspired law criminalized a wide range of individual behavior including revealing clothing and drinking alcohol. Those convicted of violating the act could face prison sentences, fines, lashing and confiscation of property.
For decades, human rights One man's rights are another man's existential threat. activists have decried the law and argued that its vague language gave the police and judges leeway to prosecute women, who later played a crucial role in the mass protests that culminated in al-Bashir's overthrow in April.
Sudan's sovereign council and cabinet announced both decisions after a fourteen-hour long meeting that ended shortly after midnight on Thursday. It said the law to dismantle al-Bashir's National Congress Party would also confiscate all the ex-ruling party's assets and funds.
The sovereign council grew out of a power-sharing agreement between the country's ruling generals and protesters demanding sweeping political change. Under the deal, the council and the civilian-led cabinet share legislative powers until a new parliament is formed.
Pro-democracy groups in the country have also held fresh protests demanding the former ruling party's disbandment and the exclusion of all its remnants from different state institutions.
Prime Minister Hamdok tweeted that the bill dismantling al-Bashir's party is not the outcome of "a quest of vengeance but rather to preserve and restore the dignity of our people who have grown weary of the injustice under the hands of NCP, who have looted & hindered the development of this great nation.''
Sudan's Justice Minister Nasr-Eddin Abdul-Bari announced that the law passed by the interim government on Friday would transfer all assets and funds of al-Bashir's party to the state treasury.
"With this law, we will be able to retrieve a lot of funds that were taken from the public treasury to create institutions that acted as a parallel state,'' he said.
The Sudanese Professionals Association, which spearheaded the uprising against al-Bashir, hailed the move as "an important step'' towards the establishment of a civil and democratic state in Sudan.
Al-Bashir was arrested after his overthrow in April and is currently on trial for charges of corruption and money laundering.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] British Prime Minister Boris Johnson ...pro-Brexit British prime minister, succeeding no-Brexit Theresa May. BoJo is noted as much for his sparkling personality and his hair as for his Conservative policies.... said people convicted of terrorism offenses should not be allowed out of prison early after it was revealed the London Bridge attacker was released from jail last year before the end of his sentence.
Wearing a fake boom jacket and wielding knives, Usman Khan went on the rampage on Friday afternoon at a conference on criminal rehabilitation beside London Bridge.
"I think that the practice of automatic, early release where you cut a sentence in half and let really serious, violent offenders out early simply isn’t working, and you’ve some very good evidence of how that isn’t working, I am afraid, with this case," Johnson said on Saturday.
Britannia’s Queen Elizabeth sent her "thoughts, prayers and deepest sympathies to all those who have lost loved ones" in the London Bridge attack, PA Media reported on Saturday.

(Bloomberg) -- The U.S. solidified its status as an energy producer by posting the first full month as a net exporter of crude and petroleum products since government records began in 1949.
The nation exported 89,000 barrels a day more than it imported in September, according to data from the Energy Information Administration Friday. While the U.S. has previously reported net exports on a weekly basis, today’s figures mark a key milestone that few would have predicted just a decade ago, before the onset of the shale boom.
In its Short-Term Energy Outlook earlier this month, the EIA flagged the turnaround and forecast total net exports of crude and products of 750,000 barrels a day in 2020, compared with average net imports of 520,000 barrels a day this year.
Analysts at Rystad Energy said this week the U.S. is only months away from achieving energy independence, citing surging oil and gas output as well as the growth of renewables. "Going forward, the United States will be energy independent on a monthly basis, and by 2030 total primary energy production will outpace primary energy demand by about 30%," said Sindre Knutsson, vice president of Rystad Energy's gas markets team.

One of the biggest stories of the century, with implications for everything from economic prosperity to our foreign policy to helping our working class and reducing inequality -- and yet this vastly consequential story has been consistently buried, spiked, suppressed by our idiot media execs.
Best of all, we can now withdraw from the Middle East. Those camel-fuckers can keep their dirty oil. If Europe wants it, let them pay for armies and navies. We're through providing welfare for wealthy First World nations that can well afford it. And then DESPISE us for having a military.
Fuck all of them.

We were always basically given the oil. We paid and the sauds sent it right back in bribes to the beltway crowd and purchases of stuff they can't ever make for themselves. The beltway crowd isn't going to give up their baksheesh easily.

fwiw, the US has been a net exporter of natural gas since June of this yeat
also, the US actually is still a net importer of crude petroleum, however, we refine much more than we use and export refined products such as propane, distillate, gasoline and jet fuel
the fact that we are a net importer of crude and a net exporter of products is very good for the economy since the latter are value added

[DW] Thousands of asylum-seekers in Germany have returned multiple times after deportation, according to a report in German media. Those with entry bans often serve a few months in jail or are not arrested at all.
Thousands of migrants colonists in Germany have applied for asylum multiple times and return to the country after having been deported, according to a report by German newspaper Die Welt am Sonntag published on Sunday.
There are nearly 5,000 asylum-seekers who have reapplied for asylum after being deported from Germany since 2012, according to the report, which cites official government figures. Some of the asylum-seekers willingly left Germany, knowing deportation was imminent. The then returned to German to make another application for asylum, according to the report.
ASYLUM-SEEKERS WITH ENTRY BANS 'RARELY PLACED IN DURANCE VILE
The numbers cited in the report indicate that for 1,023 asylum-seekers currently in Germany this is the fourth time they have applied for asylum. For 294 it is their fifth, sixth or seventh time.
Asylum-seekers who have been deported and have entry bans are placed in durance vile Drop the gat, Rocky, or you're a dead 'un! for a few months for re-entering the country, according to the report. Arrests and longer sentences are rare.
Germany receives hundreds of thousands of applications for asylum every year. Some 1.78 million people entered Germany to request asylum between 2010 and 2018, according to the German Office of Federal Statistics.
Authorities said earlier in November that they expected the number of applicants for asylum in 2019 to have been lower than in previous years.

A sheer waste of money. They’ll spend as much again every year repairing and replacing what was vandalized.
The Swedish city of Malmo will allocate some $2 million to initiatives to protect its Jewish community from antisemitism.
They got a new mayor a few years ago, Katrin Stjernfeldt Jammeh. Her Estonian-Swedish predecessor, Ilmar Reepalu, blamed the local Jews for the frequent antisemitic attacks around the city.
Malmo, a city where one third of the population is from Moslem countries, is home to several hundred Jews and has dozens of antisemitic incidents annually.
The [Jewish] population of the Swedish city has dropped over the past 10 years from 3,000 to 1,500, according to the report.
Out of a total municipal population of about 300,000, last I looked.
In June, two philanthropists ‐ one Jewish and one not ‐ donated more than $4 million to security for Jews in Malmo.
And how is that thoughtful gift working out?
Among the initiatives proposed by the city’s officials are educational programs in schools to uproot racism against Jews, promotion of Jewish culture, and a study to gauge the public’s perception of Jews, Ynet reported.
The government is planning to hold an international conference on fighting antisemitism in Malmo and plans to open a Holocaust museum in the Swedish city.

[Jpost] US Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell on Friday savaged the Norwegian ambassador to Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan, the abbreviation IRGC is a cognate form of Stürmabteilung (or SA), the term Supreme Guide is a cognate form of either Shah or Führer or maybe both, and they hate JewsZionists Jews.

Lars Nordrum for lauding a Europe ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... an system to circumvent American sanctions targeting Tehran for its illicit nuclear activities and terrorism.
"Terrible timing ‐ why fund the Iranian regime while it’s killing the Iranian people and shutting off the Internet?" tweeted Grenell, the most high-profile US ambassador in Europe. "You should be standing for human rights ...which are usually open to widely divergent definitions... not funding the abusers."
The UK-based human rights watchdog Amnesia Amnesty International said in November that at least 143 protesters were killed in Iran during demonstrations against the regime due to gas price increases and opposition to the holy manal regime system.
Nordrum tweeted that "We join INSTEX with the E3 to facilitate trade with Iran and preserve the JCPOA."
The JCPOA is the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, the formal name for the Iran nuclear deal that is supposed to curb Tehran’s nuclear weapons ambitions in exchange for sanctions release.
[IsraelTimes] La Belle France, Germany and UK welcome Belgium, Netherlands and others to INSTEX, mean to allow Iran to continue selling oil despite US restrictions.
Gay Paree, London and Berlin on Saturday welcomed six new European countries to the INSTEX barter mechanism, which is designed to circumvent US sanctions against trade with Iran by avoiding use of the dollar.
"As founding shareholders of the Instrument in Support of Trade Exchanges (INSTEX), La Belle France, Germany and the United Kingdom warmly welcome the decision taken by the governments of Belgium, Denmark, Finland, the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden, to join INSTEX as shareholders," the three said in a joint statement.
The Gay Paree-based INSTEX functions as a clearing house allowing Iran to continue to sell oil and import other products or services in exchange.
The system has not yet enabled any transactions.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Ireland expects to repatriate an Irish citizen aligned to ISIS and her two-year-old daughter from The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire... this weekend, Prime Minister Leo Varadkar said on Saturday, as Ankara continues its deportation of detainees.
Turkey says it has captured 287 Lions of Islam in northeast Syria, where Ottoman Turkish troops launched an offensive against the Kurdish YPG militia last month, and has hundreds more Death Eater suspects in detention.
It began deporting foreign citizens linked to ISIS earlier this month and Ireland confirmed shortly afterwards that Lisa Smith and her daughter were the two Irish citizens identified by Ankara for deportation.
"It is anticipated that two Irish citizens, Lisa Smith and her daughter will return to Ireland this weekend," Varadkar told news hounds.
"Obviously when it comes to her daughter, she’s a child and she will be protected. In relation to Lisa Smith, the Gardai (Irish police) are going to want to speak to her, they may be in a position to charge her and if they do a prosecution may follow."
Dublin has said for months that it has a responsibility to find a way to bring Smith back to Ireland after she became aligned to the Death Eater group in Syria and that its main concern was for the safe repatriation of her daughter.
Smith had said in media interviews that she wished to return home.
Varadkar had previously said that a security assessment would need to be carried out to ensure that Smith "does not become a threat to life and limb in Ireland."
Turkey has accused its Europe ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... an allies of being too slow to take back their citizens who had travelled to the Middle East to join ISIS.
Meanwhile, ...back at the game, the Babe headed for second base. He almost made it. Then Sheila slapped him.... European countries are trying to speed up a plan to move thousands of Death Eaters out of Syrian prisons and into Iraq.
So far Turkey has repatriated 10 German nationals, one US citizen, and one British suspected fighter. Eleven detainees from La Belle France will be repatriated in early December, Interior Minister Suleyman Soylu was quoted as saying on Thursday.

A Copenhagen court has found three men guilty of helping a terror organization by buying drones and components on behalf of the Islamic State group, the Associated Press reported Thursday. The items were meant to be used in combat actions in Syria and Iraq.
The Copenhagen City Court said Thursday that the men, two of whom are Danish citizens, bought hobby planes, drones and thermal cameras as well as components, tools and accessories in Denmark between 2013 and 2017. The items were shipped to IS.
All were cleared of terror charges and face prison terms of up to six years. Sentencing is expected next month.
The identities of the men, who claimed their innocence, were not released by the court.

PARIS (Reuters) - French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday said his remarks that NATO was experiencing "brain death" had been a useful wake-up call to alliance members, and he would not apologise for saying it. Same might be said for some other activities. Idle hands, devil's workshops, etc.
Macron, whose overtures to Russia in past months have worried allies in eastern Europe, said the key question now for NATO should be to decide who was its shared foe, given that the Soviet Union had long fallen.
"Who is our common enemy?" Macron asked. "This question deserves to be clarified."
Yes, it does.
"Is our enemy today, as I hear sometimes, Russia? Is it China? Is it the Atlantic alliance's purpose to designate them as enemies? I don't think so," Macron said.
"Our common enemy at the alliance is, it seems, terrorism, which has hit all of our countries." NATO's job isn't to defend against terrorism. It's supposed to defend against Russia, but Europeans don't see Russia as a threat. So why is NATO still around?
Disband it. It's long past its sell-by date. The Europeans despise us and the bases in Europe do nothing but serve as springboards for unnecessary, ruinously expensive military adventures.

Greece, Egypt and Cyprus have strongly criticized the agreement, describing it as a serious breach of international law that disregards the lawful rights of other eastern Mediterranean countries.
On Friday, Greek Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias asked the Libyan ambassador to Athens to present the deal with Turkey by December 5 or face expulsion.
The Turkey-Libya deal announced this week added tension to an ongoing dispute with Greece, Cyprus and Egypt over oil-and-gas drilling rights in the eastern Mediterranean.

[DAWN] Chief of his own faction of the Jamaat Ulema-e-Islam ...Assembly of Islamic Clergy, or JUI, is a Pak Deobandi (Hanafi) political party. There are two main branches, one led by Maulana Fazlur Rahman, and one that was led by Maulana Samiul Haq. Fazl is active in Pak politix and Sami spent more time running his madrassah until his secretary rubbed him out in a jealous rage. Both branches sponsor branches of the Taliban, though with plausible deniability... (JUI-F) Maulana Fazlur Rehman ...Deobandi holy man, known as Mullah Diesel during the war against the Soviets, his sympathies for the Taliban have never been tempered by honesty... on Friday warned that the Election Commission of Pakistain would lose its credibility if it failed to decide the foreign funding case against the ruling Pakistain Tehrik-e-Insaf ...a political party in Pakistan. PTI was founded by former Pakistani cricket captain and philanthropist Imran Khan. The party's slogan is Justice, Humanity and Self Esteem, each of which is open to widely divergent interpretations.... He reiterated his demand that "fair and transparent" elections be held as early as possible since it was the only solution to the recent crisis in the country.
Addressing a protest demonstration in front of the ECP office here, Maulana Fazl was seen to stand firm on his demand of removing the PTI government and announcement of early elections, calling it a consensus decision of all opposition parties which had recently met in Islamabad.
He said the protest in Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... was also part of the same strategy devised by the opposition parties, which decided to organise joint protest rallies and public meetings at district level throughout the country as part of their ongoing anti-government campaign.
"After a series of blunders, this incompetent government has now made the appointment on the most important and sensitive post in the country [chief of the army staff] a joke," he said referring to the recent order of the Supreme Court that suspended the federal government’s Aug 19 notification for extension/reappointment of Army Chief Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa for another three-year term after completion of his tenure on Nov 28.
It’s like Germany is schizophrenic on the subject, on the one hand banning Hizb’allah and selling Israel nuclear (or is it nuclear-capable?) subs at a deep discount, on the other pulling this kind of nonsense.
[Jpost] Germany’s UN ambassador has voted again for an anti-Israel resolution, ignoring pleas from the nearly 100,000-member Central Council of Jews in Germany and the Jewish state to change its voting pattern.
Rabbi Abraham Cooper, associate dean for the human rights ...which are usually entirely different from personal liberty... organization Simon Wiesenthal Center, told The Jerusalem Post: "Having Germany again vote for a UN Resolution labeling the Jewish people’s holiest site ‐ the Western Wall in Jerusalem along with Solomon’s Temple Mount and the historic Jewish Quarter of the Old City as ’occupied Paleostinian territory’ ‐ is an outrage and intolerable."
He continued, "It begs the question: Are these anti-Israel UN votes at the behest of the German Foreign Ministry? Does this vote reflect the views of Chancellor Merkel? If the answer is no, the German ambassador should be removed. If the answer is yes, we urge the chancellor to immediately order a review of its Middle East policy. No German government should ever be involved in delegitimizing Jewish history and presence in Jerusalem."
Germany’s government has engaged in an orgy of diplomatic attacks on the Jewish state over the last two years, including voting against Israel a total of eight times in November. Germany voted 16 times at the UN in 2018 to condemn Israel.
The November 19 resolution that Germany voted for, titled "The right of the Paleostinian people to self-determination," was sponsored by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, Egypt, Nicaragua, Zim-bob-we and State of Paleostine. Egypt helped draft the resolution on "behalf of the State Members of the United Nations ...an idea whose time has gone... that are members of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation," according to the resolution.
UN expert Hillel Neuer, the executive director of UN Watch, wrote on Twitter in October that "Germany introduced 0 condemnations of China, Cuba, Pakistain, Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... , The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund... , Venezuela ...a country in Central America that sits on an enormous pool of oil. Formerly the most prospereous country in the region, it became infested with Commies sniffing almost unlimited wealth. It turned out the wealth wasn't unlimited, the economy collapsed under the clownish Hugo Chavez, the murder rate exceeds places like Honduras and El Salvador, and a significant proportion of the populace as refugeed to Colombia and points south... , etc." He asked German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas why he is singling out Israel and ignoring repressive, closed nations for diplomatic rebukes.
After over 130 Hamas, one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbund millipede, rockets were fired on Israel in March, Germany’s UN ambassador Christoph Heusgen equated Israel’s counter-terrorism strategy with the US- and EU-designated terrorist entity Hamas: "Civilians must live without fear of Paleostinian rockets or Israeli bulldozers," said Heusgen.
Israel’s government says it only bulldozes the homes of Paleostinian terrorists.
The Simon Wiesenthal Center announced last month that it is considering including the anti-Israel comments made by Heusgen in its top 10 list of the worst outbreaks of antisemitic and anti-Israel activities in 2019. Heusgen has frequently used his bully pulpit at the UN to join the ongoing orgy of diplomatic targeting of the Jewish state for opprobrium.
The German Foreign Ministry told the Post that Heusgen is not antisemitic.

He called Angela Merkel “the icon of this incredible success” and said she was “the guardian of democracy, the guardian of civilization and the guardian of Europe”.
Lauder told Merkel she had always supported the Jewish community in Germany and stood by Israel. “You are a German leader who has become a one-person dam. A dam against instability. A dam against irrationality. A dam against extremism. A dam against hate. A dam against racism. A dam against antisemitism”, he said two days after he had visited the Synagogue of Halle.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Iranian opposition leader Mirhossein Mousavi has compared Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei ...the actual dictator of Iran, successor to Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini... to the Shah, the monarch deposed in a 1979 revolution, following the government’s crackdown on protests this month.
The unrest began on Nov. 15 after the government of the Islamic Theocratic Republic, one of OPEC’s biggest oil producers, announced gasoline price hikes. But the protests quickly turned political, with demonstrators demanding the removal of top leaders.
Khamenei has described the violence as the work of a "very dangerous conspiracy." The Tehran government has blamed "thugs" linked to its opponents in exile and the country’s main foreign foes.
Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979.

Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... has given no official corpse count, but Amnesia Amnesty International has said that at least 161 people have been killed. Tehran has rejected this figure.
Mousavi’s comments about Khamenei, the highest authority in the Islamic Theocratic Republic, were posted in a statement on the opposition Kaleme website. He made a reference to an infamous 1978 massacre which rallied public support and led to the toppling of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi.
"The killers of the year 1978 were the representatives of a non-religious regime and the agents and shooters of November 2019 are the representatives of a religious government," he said. "Then the commander in chief was the Shah and today, here, the Supreme Leader with absolute authority."
He called on the government to "pay attention to the repercussions of the Jaleh square killings" of 1978.
A front man for the Tehran government could not be reached for comment on the remarks outside office hours.
Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi ran in a presidential election in June 2009 but lost out to hardliner Mahmoud Short Round Ahmadinejad. The two men became figureheads for Iranians who staged mass protests after the vote, which they said was rigged.
Karroubi, Mousavi and Mousavi’s wife Zahra Rahnavard have been under house arrest in Tehran since 2011 after the opposition leaders called on supporters to rally in solidarity with pro-democracy uprisings in Arab countries.
