'99% of These Videos are Women.' X Users Notice a Pattern in Ghouls Taking Down Israel Hostage Posters
[Twitchy] Sometimes you can't help but notice a pattern and X users noticed a big one. Why are all these videos of people ripping down missing persons posters of Israeli hostage victims women?

#1  Why is a large majority of pro-Hamas activists (students and instructors) on college campus women?

#2  And the 1% who are "guys" are a very certain, specific type of guy.

You know what type I mean.

#3  I see it as:

(1) I'm a woman benefiting from affirmative action (i.e. I took the place of somebody better qualified). This is not wrong, because women are oppressed and the oppressed are never wrong.
(2) Palestinians are oppressed (Jews are not oppressed, look how successful they are!).

#8  Looked to me like that 1% are Al-Smollett models.

Tom, I don't know what the fucking problem is either. I tried to watch the movie Valarian the other day, and maybe whatsherface is a decent actress, but her character is absolutely insufferable. Its like they think those characteristics make the quality, when in reality those women with quality don't need those characteristics.

Or take Oyster Horse from the other day. Schmoozes sum dood into thinking their going to have a good time, when it was all about her the whole time in a I Deserve This Without Effort Go Kweeen attitude and was genuinely upset he didn't just go along with her whims.

CNN reporter: Evidence that hospital blast not Israel's fault
[IsraelNationalNews] CNN has walked back its initial claims that Israel attacked a Gaza hospital, presenting instead evidence that the explosion in the Al-Ahli hospital's parking lot was most likely caused by a rocket launched from within Gaza which misfired.

A breakdown of how much of Joe Biden's $100billion aid package is heading to back Israel, Ukraine and Taiwan amid worldwide strife
Yes, but what else is crammed into this latest Must Pass spending bill at a time when the national debt is triggering warnings by the IMF, among others?
And how much of it goes to his family?
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Plans for President Joe Biden's funding request will see $60billion given to Ukraine and $14billion for Israel, according to a source familiar with the plan

  • Another $10billion has been earmarked for humanitarian aid and $7billion for the Indo-Pacific region, including to bolster Taiwan

  • Biden, 80, addressed the American people on Thursday night from the Oval Office and urged lawmakers to pass the spending package

WE ARE BROKE

With a $33.65T National Debt and only $4.34T in approx annual revenues. The DC Swamp has already overspent 7+ years of US collectable revenues. The national debt figure, at current spending levels, is predicted to be $45.08T by 2027.

Instead of the DC Swamp sending $$$Billions around the world, which a % always seems to end up back in certain Elite, Political and company owners pockets. How about focusing on the CITIZENS OF THE USA, until at least the National Debt is eliminated.

BTW: US Federal Collected Revenues are DOWN -9% (-$457T) when compared to fiscal year 2021-2022.

Africa Horn
Conflicts in Somalia takes a toll on citizens. Honest.
[AFRICANEWS] Briefing the Security Council on the situation in Somalia, the Head of the United Nations
...an organization which on balance has done more bad than good, with the good not done well and the bad done thoroughly...
Assistance Mission in Somalia (UNSOM) Catriona Laing today (19 Oct) said, "conflicts in Somalia continue to take a heavy toll on civilians," and last year saw "the largest increase in civilian casualties since 2017."

Laing said, "early data indicate a similar trend in 2023, with 1,289 civilian casualties recorded so far" and noted that "this is partly attributable to Al-Shabaab
... al-Qaeda's tentacle in East Africa...
attacks but also the conflict in Laascaanood."

She told the Council that Somalia’s President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud directed a military campaign against Al-Shabaab in Dhusamareb, capital of Galmudug
...a semiautonomous region in central Somalia, bordering Puntland on the north. Galmudug is not trying to obtain international recognition as a separate nation, but rather considers itself autonomous within the larger Somali federalism, for what that's worth...
state, from 5 August until 8 October.

Laing said, "despite initial success when the Somali National Army and allied clan militias took significant territory, setbacks and operational challenges have been faced since. Government forces are now focused on regrouping, reinforcing, and reorganising, as well as mobilising additional support from clans, before resuming large-scale operations."

She said that currently, the situation in Laascaanood was "calm" after the escalation on 25 August when Dhulbahante militias advanced toward the town of Oog, "and people are returning home."

However,
Caliphornia hasn't yet slid into the ocean, no matter how hard it's tried...
the SRSG noted, "the potential for a relapse into violence cannot be ruled out."

She said, "the United Nations continues to convene partners to coordinate our joint efforts towards a conflict resolution. Following the 25 August events, we issued a joint statement on 27 August condemning the escalation of the conflict and calling for all involved to abide by human rights
When they're defined by the state or an NGO they don't mean much...
and international humanitarian law, in particular the protection of civilians and civilian infrastructure."

The Special Representative of the Chairperson of the African Union
...a union consisting of 53 African states, most run by dictators of one flavor or another. The only all-African state not in the AU is Morocco. Established in 2002, the AU is the successor to the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), which was even less successful...
Commission for Somalia and Head of the African Union Transition Mission in Somalia (ATMIS), Mohammed El-Amine Souef, told the Council, "it remains vital that the drawdown of ATMIS troops be informed and guided by a careful assessment of the prevailing security situation and the Somalia security forces capability."

Souef said, "_this must aim to avail the SSF with the necessary firepower to take over security responsibilities, while also undertaking offensive against al-Shabaab."_

In this context, he added, the Council "should do as the fastest step in November consider lifting the current arms embargo on Somalia."

For his part, Somalia’s Ambassador Abukar Dahir Osman said, "despite the commendable success achieved in maintaining face one drawdown by the Somali security forces, it's imperative to recognize that forward operating basis earmarked for phase two, different significantly. "

"The unforeseen turn of events," Osman said, "necessitated a thorough organization to ensure we maintain our momentum in countering the threat of al-Shabaab before embarking on the next throwdown phase."

He said, "comprehensive security planning for the population centres surrounding the forward operating bases and slated for the collapse or handover is imperative."

Close to four million people continue to be food insecure and in need of assistance. in Somalia.

Caucasus/Russia/Central Asia
Residents of Dagestan collect more than 17 million rubles for Palestinians
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[KavkazUzel] In Dagestan, 17.5 million rubles were collected to help Palestinians in less than 24 hours, the Insan charity foundation reported.
Money that will now not go to other jihadi efforts, assuming it all does indeed go where promised.
As the "Caucasian Knot" wrote, the aggravation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict evoked a response among Muslims in the North Caucasus. Thus, in Chechnya, the official clergy organizes daily mass prayers in support of Palestine, and on October 17, residents of Dagestan tried to hold an action in the central square of Makhachkala, which was dispersed by security forces. On October 19, the Muftiate of Dagestan called on the imams of mosques to pray for an end to the war at Friday prayers.

The fighting between Israel and the Palestinian Hamas movement began on October 7 with the firing of hundreds of rockets into Israeli territory, including civilian targets. The Israel Defense Forces responded by launching the Iron Swords military operation against Hamas, after which Israel announced a blockade of the Gaza Strip: supplies of water, food, electricity, medicine, and fuel were suspended. Thousands of people died on both sides.

In the courtyard of the central mosque of Makhachkala, donations are being collected to help Palestine, the Insan charity foundation reported today on its Telegram channel.

The fund announced the fundraising on its telegram channel at 14.57 Moscow time on October 19. The stated goal was to raise 10 million rubles, the first seven million were collected in five hours. “You almost closed the collection of 10,000,000 rubles in a matter of hours. The new amount is 20,000,000 rubles,” says a message posted on the night of October 20 in the fund’s telegram channel.

As of 13.44 Moscow time, 17.54 million out of 20 million rubles have been collected, as indicated on the “Collection for Palestine” page on the fund’s website.

The majority of residents of Dagestan sympathize with the Palestinian people in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, according to journalists interviewed by the Caucasian Knot. In their opinion, the reason for the dispersal of the rally in Makhachkala in support of Palestine lies in its unauthorized nature and the authorities’ fears due to the deterioration of the situation in Dagestan.

Home Front: WoT
Follow the Money: Antifa's Financial Ties to Islamist Terrorism
[Townhall] It's no surprise that terrorists support terrorists. Like birds of a feather, Antifa anarcho-communists and Islamist extremists are bound by a shared goal of overthrowing the U.S. constitutional republic and its institutions that enforce law and order. Despite being divided by varying ideological differences, they're united by an agenda to wage war against the common enemy: America.

In particular, one Antifa anarchist organization has cast a sprawling Soros-esque web of influence across America through crowdfunded donations. Notably, the money-laundering leaders of this Antifa-aligned behemoth poured tens of thousands of dollars into the coffers of an advocate for Islamist extremism, investigative think tank Capital Research Center discovered.

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Horowitz: DeSantis is right: The overwhelming majority of Gaza Arabs have toxic beliefs
[BLAZE] Every American has the First Amendment right to express hatred for Jews or anyone else. There is no affirmative right to immigrate, however, and we should expect those we choose to admit to the United States to share our values and not parrot the world’s most demonic ideologies.

Immigration is a privilege at the discretion of a sovereign nation, and it has always been the policy since our founding only to admit immigrants of "merit and Republican principles" (as James Madison put it), those who share our "republican-American values" (Thomas Jefferson), and "reputable and worthy characters" who were "fit for the society into which they were blended" (Rep. Theodore Sedgwick during debate over the 1790 Naturalization Act).

After Florida Governor Ron DeSantis resolutely asserted that we should not be taking in people from Gaza who harbor anti-American and anti-Jewish sentiments, CBS News reporter Margaret Brennan was incredulous. "But how can you paint with such a broad brush to say 2.3 million people are anti-Semitic?" asked Brennan on "Face the Nation."

Well, let’s look at the facts. The media always takes the Anti-Defamation League’s tracking of anti-Semitism as God’s word when it comes to attacking conservatives, so let’s examine its anti-Semitism data. Based on surveys around the world, the ADL in its global index on anti-Semitism, which measures support for sentiment behind 11 common anti-Semitic stereotypes, finds that all of the top Jew-hating countries are in the Middle East. Not surprisingly, the Palestinians top that list:

UNICEF calls aid delivery a matter of life and death for children in Gaza
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] The delivery of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip was called a matter of life and death for children in the enclave by the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) on October 20 in a publication on the organization's page on the social network X (formerly Twitter).

“Delivery of aid is a matter of life and death for children in Gaza. Water, food, medicine, fuel and other essentials are running out,” the publication said.

It is also noted that UNICEF sent vital supplies to Egypt, near the Rafah checkpoint, which is currently the only border crossing between Egypt and the Gaza Strip. At the same time, the organization emphasizes that it requires an immediate humanitarian pause to urgently deliver aid to Gaza.

Earlier , IA Regnum reported that UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres called for a two-week humanitarian truce in the Middle East. Guterres stated the need for urgent delivery of aid and food to the Gaza Strip.

On October 16, Russian President Vladimir Putin had a telephone conversation with Egyptian leader Abdel Fattah al-Sisi . The heads of state discussed the escalation in the Gaza Strip and diplomatic steps to resolve the outbreak of conflict. They advocated the need to urgently ensure safe access for those in need to humanitarian assistance.

On October 19, a special flight of the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations arrived in Egypt with humanitarian aid for the residents of Gaza. The plane delivered 27 tons of food, including sugar and flour.

This is the drug Hamas terrorists took to help them slaughter Israelis -Captagon pills were found in the pockets of Hamas terrorists.
[Jpost] Hamas terrorists who carried out a surprise attack on October 7 were found to be under the influence of Captagon, a synthetic amphetamine-type stimulant that has been clandestinely produced in southern Europe and trafficked through Turkey to the consumer markets on the Arabian Peninsula, as reported by Nir Dvori of Channel 12.

The pills were recovered from the pockets of many terrorists who lost their lives on Israeli soil.

This stimulant drug, also known as the "cocaine for the poor," allowed the terrorists to commit heinous acts with a sense of calmness and indifference. Simultaneously, it kept them highly alert for extended periods and suppressed their appetite.

Ex-CNN anchor Mister Potato Head rips media's 'atrocious series of mistakes' covering Gaza hospital blast

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...
Hamas
...not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,...
had immediately pointed the finger at Israel for Tuesday’s blast at Ahli Arab Hospital, with the terror group claiming the corpse count was around 500.

Israel denied firing rockets at the hospital and blamed the incident on a misfired missile from the Hamas-backed terror group Islamic Jihad
...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...

and the Washington Post immediately ran with the statement from Hamas’ terrorist-run health ministry in the Gaza Strip.

On Wednesday, President Biden said Israel was "not responsible" for the bombing during his visit to the Jewish state, echoing the findings by his National Security Council.

The purported figure of 500 killed has also come under scrutiny, with intelligence analysts putting the corpse count at around 50.

"This was an atrocious series of mistakes by many different major newsrooms all around the same time on Tuesday and unfortunately I don’t think there’s been enough follow-up or accountability to make sure it doesn’t happen again," said Stelter, former host of CNN’s now-defunct media analysis show "Reliable Sources," during an appearance on NewsNation’s "Dan Abrams Live" on Wednesday night.

Stelter, who was ousted from CNN by since-fired CEO Chris Licht in August 2022, said there was "no defense" on how the media regurgitated a one-sided story from an unreliable source.

"I’ve noticed oftentimes in breaking news stories, breaking news scenarios, when information is lowest, interest is highest, and by the time we actually know the facts, people move on. Well, this was one of those cases, but it was even worse because when the stakes are highest, it seems the standards were the lowest, and it should be the opposite," he said. "The standard should be the highest when the stakes are as high as they are right now."
NOW he gets standards and ethics...

#1  The original number of 500 was suspicious simply because it was "round". The original source simply came up with something to grab the gullible public's attention.

#2  In other words, a "journalist".

#3  The first step is to admit you have a problem. Expect to see an article saying Stelter entered compulsive liars rehab.

#4  If you take Stelter’s class, there must also be two hours of Stelter homework for each hour of Stelter in person. How much Stelter can a human mind withstand?
