-Lurid Crime Tales-
Migrant Charged for Alleged Sex with Cow Arrested Again in Texas
[BREITBART] A Mexican migrant arrested earlier this year after Border Patrol agents saw him allegedly having sex with a cow was arrested again in South Texas. Police in the Rio Grande Valley arrested the man on allegations of intoxicated driving.

In March, Border Patrol agents observed a Mexican man illegally present in the United States having sex with a cow, Breitbart Texas reported. The alleged act of bestiality took place in Starr County, officials reported at the time:

At the scene, deputies interviewed 28-year-old Jose Nino, a Mexican national who was in the country illegally. Sheriff’s deputies arrested Nino and took him to the Starr County jail. Nino went before Starr County Justice of the Peace Ramiro Guillen, who formally charged him with one count of bestiality, a state jail felony, and set his bond at $1,500 personal recognizance. Deputies then turned Nino over to U.S. Border Patrol.

Now, the man appears to be in trouble with the law again.

Texas Department of Public Safety troopers arrested Jose Nino this week for allegedly driving while intoxicated, KGBT’s Sydney Hernandez reported in a tweet.

Immigration officials told Breitbart Texas that Nino has a lengthy immigration history which includes multiple violations for illegal re-entry after removal. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement placed an immigration detainer on Nino on Monday.

#6  I am thinking of the time a sailor of the British Royal Navy in the Napoleonic times, raped the nanny goat that supplied the officers with cream for their tea and coffee. He was whipped around the fleet, but they had a problem of deciding on what to do about the goat. They concluded it wouldn't be right to continue to milk the goat so the goat became food.

HoR considers pursuing UAE in international courts for harmful interference in Libya
[Libya Observer] Member of the Tripoli
...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn...
-based House of Representative (HoR), Jalal al-Shuwehdi said that the Presidency of the HoR is considering pursuing the UAE in international courts, being a key partner in fueling the conflict in Libya.

"The international prosecution of the UAE comes for its support for Haftar's war on Tripoli, killing civilians and displacing thousands of people, in addition to destroying the infrastructure," Shuwehdi said in a television interview.

He also said that the Presidential Council should take further measures against the UAE, due to its negative intervention in Libya.

Rwanda Agrees to Take in African Migrants Stuck in Libya
[AnNahar] Rwanda agreed Tuesday to take in hundreds and potentially thousands of African migrants colonists stranded in Libya, a deal 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...
hopes to replicate with other member states.

"We will be receiving the initial number of 500 in a few weeks," Hope Tumukunde Gasatura, Rwanda's ambassador to the AU, told a news conference after signing a memorandum of understanding alongside representatives of the AU and the U.N. refugee agency UNHCR.

The first group "is principally made up of people originating from the Horn of Africa," the AU and the U.N. said in a statement.

They will be housed in a transit center in Rwanda before being resettled elsewhere unless they agree to return to their home countries.

In the chaos that followed the fall and killing of former dictator Muammar Qadaffy
...a proud Arab institution for 42 years, now among the dear departed, though not the dearest...
in a 2011 uprising, Libya became a key transit point for sub-Saharan African migrants colonists seeking to embark on dangerous journeys to Europe
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
The UN says some 42,000 migrants colonists are currently in Libya.

"We have been desperately searching for solutions for those people," said Cosmas Chanda, UNHCR's representative to the AU.

The Rwandan government is prepared to take in as many as 30,000 Africans from Libya, though the plan is for the process to unfold in batches of 500 to prevent the country from becoming overwhelmed.

Europe
German city bans four Palestinian NGOs from event due to antisemitic BDS
[Jpost] The city of Bonn, the former capital of the Federal Republic of Germany, banned four Paleostinian organizations from participating in its late September cultural festival because they support the antisemitic BDS campaign targeting the Jewish state.

The Bonn-based General Anzeiger paper reported on Monday that the city defended the decision in a letter, writing that in Bonn there "is no place for the antisemitic BDS movement."

BDS is an abbreviation for Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions. The Bonn city council passed a resolution in May declaring the BDS campaign antisemitic and anti-Israel. The Bonn mainstream parties represented in the city council--Christian Democratic Union, Social Democratic Party, the Green Party and the Free Democratic Party-- said that, "Institutions of the city of Bonn shall not provide premises for the BDS campaign nor support events of the BDS campaign or of groups that pursue the objectives of the BDS campaign."

As a result of the city excluding the pro-BDS Paleostinian organizations from the September 29 cultural festival titled "Diversity," three of the four NGOs filed a legal suit against the city’s decision. The pro-BDS groups claim the city’s decision violates their free speech rights. Two of the Paleostinian organizations who are banned are: The German-Paleostinian Society and the Regional Group NRW South.

In December, 2018, an administrative court ruled that the Munich city council was within its rights to ban BDS organizations from municipal buildings and to deny city funds to the anti-Israelis organizations. In April, the city of Bremen in northern Germany cancelled a talk with the anti-Israel former pastor and BDS supporter Martin Breidert, who is a member of the German-Paleostinian Society involved in the suit against the city of Bonn. Germany’s federal parliament defined BDS as antisemitic in May.

World must not remain indifferent to tragedy unfolding in Kashmir, Qureshi tells UN Rights Council
[DAWN] Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Wormtongue Qureshi
...a Pak political shape-changer. He is undistinguished except for his habit of periodically needing to have his lips reattached...
on Tuesday said that the international community "must not remain indifferent to the tragedy that is unfolding before our eyes" in occupied Kashmir
...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there....
Addressing the 42nd session of the United Nations
...where theory meets practice and practice loses...
Human Rights Council in Geneva, Qureshi while referring to India's recent actions in Kashmir said: "Today, I have knocked on the doors of the Human Rights Council, the repository of the world’s conscience on human rights
...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless...
, to seek justice and respect for the people of Indian occupied Jammu and Kashmir.

"We must not allow this august body to be embarrassed on the world stage. As a founding member of this council, Pakistain feels morally and ethically bound to prevent this from occurring," he stressed, adding that in order to do so the body should not remain indifferent to the tragedy that was unfolding in Kashmir.

"We must not let political, commercial, and parochial considerations cloud and impair our thoughts and action.

"We must act decisively and with conviction."

Qureshi urged the UNHRC to "pay heed to the plight of the Kashmiri people" and to address the warning signs of a "looming human catastrophe".

Indian police drop murder charges against 11 accused of lynching Muslim man
[DAWN] Indian police have dropped murder charges against 11 individuals accused of involvement in the killing of a Moslem man who was tortured and forced to chant Hindu slogans in June, Scroll.in reported on Tuesday.

Quoting The Indian Express, the publication reported that police in the eastern Indian state of Jharkhand said one of the reasons that charges had not been filed under Section 302 (punishment for murder) of the Indian Penal Code was because a post-mortem examination attributed Tabrez Ansari's death to a cardiac arrest.

Earlier, two coppers were suspended over the handling of the lynching of Ansari, captured on a video that went viral on Indian social media.

The 24-year-old was seen in the video crying and pleading as a mob in Jharkhand forced him to chant "Jai Sri Ram" (hail Lord Ram), a slogan widely used by Hindu hardliners.

Ansari had been accused by villagers of carrying out a burglary. He was tied to a pole and beaten for up to 12 hours before police first detained him in Seraikela, and then took him to hospital ‐ where he died.

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Poll: 48% of Jewish Israelis support applying sovereignty over Area C
Follow up to PM Bibi Netanyahu’s announcement yesterday.
[IsraelTimes] The Israel Democracy Institute, a Jerusalem think tank, says it recently polled Israelis on the question of annexing parts of the West Bank. Here are its findings:

"According to the Israel Democracy Institute’s Israeli Voice Index, 48% of Jewish Israelis and 11% of Arab Israelis would favor [applying Israeli illusory sovereignty over Area C of the West Bank] if it were supported by US President Donald Trump
...Oh, noze! Not him!...
and his administration.

"This compares to 28% of Jewish Israelis and 56% of Arab Israelis who oppose this idea. Almost a quarter [of] Jewish Israelis and one third of Arab Israelis remain undecided on this matter.

"In the case of possible annexation of Area C, Jewish Israelis are divided on whether or not a Paleostinian state should be established in the remaining parts of the West Bank. 40% would oppose this, while 37% would support it. Among Arab Israelis ‐ 51% of Arab Israelis support this idea ‐ while 20% oppose it."

Trump administration sees ‘no change in policy’ after Netanyahu annexation bid

[IsraelTimes] A Trump administration official says “there is no change in United States policy at this time. We will release our Vision for Peace after the Israeli election and work to determine the best path forward to bring long sought security, opportunity and stability to the region.”

PA raises salary of terrorist who helped carry out Cafe Hillel attack
[Jpost] The Paleostinian Authority has just raised the salary of the terrorist who prepared the suicide belt for the bombing attack in Jerusalem’s Café Hillel on September 9, 2003, Paleostinian Media Watch reported.

The attack, which took place 16 years ago Monday, resulted in the murder of seven people and the injury of 57. It occurred hours after another suicide kaboom attack at a bus stop near the Assaf Harofeh Hospital and the Tzrifin military base, in which nine people were killed and 18 maimed.

Since the attacks, the PA has paid 3,248,900 shekels in financial rewards to the Hamas, one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbund millipede, bandidos holy warriors who carried them out, according to PMW.

Specifically, the PA just raised the salaries of the two bandidos holy warriors who prepared the suicide belts to from NIS 6,000 to 7,000 shekels/month.

"Similar to an employee of any company that receives a raise after a certain period of employment ‐ following PA law ‐ these two bandidos holy warriors received a salary increase for having completed 15 years in prison," explained Maurice Hirsch, head of legal strategies at PMW.

The bandidos holy warriors were arrested in July and August 2004.

Among the victims of the Café Hillel attack in Jerusalem were Dr. David Applebaum and his daughter Nava, who was to be married the day after the attack. David was American-born and served as head of the emergency room and trauma services of Jerusalem’s Shaare Zedek Medical Center. Shortly before the attack, he participated in a symposium where he taught terror-trauma procedures to medical professionals.

"According to PMW’s calculations following the PA’s own pay scale, the PA has, to date, paid the six bandidos holy warriors who were arrested and imprisoned for their roles in the attacks, a total of 2,892,500 shekels," Hirsch explained. "In addition to the monthly salaries it pays to the imprisoned terrorists, the PA has also paid the families of the two jacket wallahs ‐ so-called "Martyrs" ‐ a total of 356,400 shekels since the attacks.

"Simply because the bandidos holy warriors blew themselves up to kill Jews, each family has so far received 178,200 shekels," he said.

The law guaranteeing terrorist prisoners a monthly salary was adopted by the authority in 2004. PA chairman the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas
...aka Abu Mazen, a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial. While no Yasser Arafat, he has his own brand of evil, just a little more lowercase....
has twice approved considerable salary hikes for terrorist prisoners. In 2006, Abbas approved the regulations that codified the monthly salary payments paid by the PA, and a rise in those salaries. In 2010, he approved an additional salary hike for them, including a 300% rise, from NIS 4,000 to 12,000/month for prisoners having served more than 30 years in prison.

Earlier this year, Israel implemented the "Pay-for-Slay" Law that instructs the state to deduct and freeze the amount of money the PA pays in salaries to imprisoned bandidos holy warriors and families of "deaders" from the tax money it collects for the authority. The law was passed last July and was approved for implementation by Israel’s security cabinet this year. In 2019, the cabinet is withholding approximately $138 million.

Dutch Christians donate Europe’s largest menorah to rocket-battered Sderot
[Jpost] Dutch Christian Zionists donated Europe
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
’s largest Hanukkah menorah to the Israeli city of Sderot in solidarity with its residents’ plight over rocket attacks from 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 Hamaswith 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...
The 36-foot menorah was erected Sunday in Sderot, said Arjen Lont, the Christian Zionist philanthropist from the Netherlands who in 2013 donated about $40,000 to build the object.

Boasting a 6-ton base and a frame shaped like a Star of David, the Dutch menorah has featured in Hanukkah candle-lighting ceremonies organized across the kingdom over the past six years by the Christians for Israel group.

"After unspeakable suffering, the horrors of the Holocaust and most recently the attacks on Israel, Jews may feel they are alone," Lont told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency shortly after the menorah was built. "This is our way of saying you are not alone, we are behind you."

On Sunday, Lont wrote on Twitter: "Today, we set up the Hanukkah menorah in Sderot in Israel’s south. It is here to stay for good."

In Sderot, the menorah was placed at the center of a traffic circle in a residential neighborhood. Its original oil lamps have been replaced with electric bulbs and it is anchored by four 2-ton concrete cubes.

The official inauguration of the menorah will be on Dec. 17, five days before the first night of Hanukkah, in the presence of Dutch Chief Rabbi Binyomin Jacobs, Christians for Israel director Roger van Oordt wrote in a statement. Amid "constant threat from rockets, we want to bring the light of the Menorah," he added.

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Lebanon Shiites Mark Ashoura in Show of Anti-Israel Defiance
[AnNahar] Anti-Israeli chants rang through the streets of a Hizbullah
...Party of God, a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran. Hizbullah refers to itself as The Resistance and purports to defend Leb against Israel, with whom it has started and lost one disastrous war to date, though it did claim victory...
bastion in the Lebanese capital's southern suburbs on Tuesday as thousands of black-clad Shiites commemorated the seventh-century killing of Prophet Mohammed's grandson.

"We have taught Israel that our people are not weak," the men cried, beating their chests in unison, during an Ashoura commemoration marking the killing of Imam Hussein in battle by Caliph Yazid's forces.

This year's ceremony comes shortly after a series of confrontations between Hizbullah and Israel, including an exchange of cross-border fire at the start of the month.

Standing behind the crowd, a black banner tied around his head, Mohammad Ali praised the September 1 Hizbullah missile attack on Israel that triggered the border flare-up.

"For years, our families and our children have slept in bunkers because of the Israelis," said the 49-year-old.

"Now it is their turn to sleep in bunkers," he told AFP. "The era of defeat is over."

US, Israel crossed ‘red line’ with new strikes in eastern Syria: Hezbollah
[ALMASDARNEWS] Hezbollah released a statement this morning regarding the recent strikes on the Syrian city of Albukamal that took place after midnight on September 9th.

The Hezbollah statement began by accusing the U.S. and Israel of carrying out the attack on Albukamal.

Citing a source inside Syria, Hezbollah said the camp that was attacked by the Israeli and U.S. forces had belonged to the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and their allies.

Hezbollah said one of the sites that was destroyed had housed soldiers and their family members.

The second point made by the Hezbollah source was that there were no casualties, despite the claims made by the pro-opposition Syrian Observatory of Human Rights (SOHR).

"The enemy used Jordanian airspace and the Americans assisted them as usual from their military base in the occupied Syrian area of ​​Al-Tanf," the Hezbollah source said during his third point.

"Fourthly, we hold the Americans and Israelis responsible for the acts of aggression in Albukamal and we consider this crossing a red line," they continued.

"The aggressors in this region will never be secure. The free peoples will hold them accountable and teach them the lesson they will not forget when attacks are repeated," Hezbollah added.

Neither the U.S. nor Israel have commented on the allegations that they carried out the strikes on Albukamal.

Female Iranian soccer fan, facing jail for entering stadium, sets herself on fire
[NYPOST] An Iranian woman who tried to enter a soccer stadium — an act that is forbidden for females in the Islamic Republic — burned herself to death after she learned that she could be thrown in jail for six months, according to a new report.

Sahar Khodayari, 30, set herself on fire last week after she got word of the possible sentence, stemming from a March incident in which she pretended to be a man to enter a stadium where her favorite team, the Esteghlal Tehran Football Club, was playing.

She died of her injuries at a Tehran hospital Monday, the semi-official news agency Shafaghna reported.

Khodayari, known as the “Blue Girl” on social media for the colors of the Esteghlal team, was wearing a blue hairpiece and a long overcoat when authorities stopped her at the stadium.

She spent three nights behind bars before being released, pending the court case.

No verdict had been delivered in her case by the time of her death.

The team mourned Khodayari’s death in a Monday tweet.

“She supported us despite the politics made it illegal for her, but what we do can do to support her?” the tweet said. “ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. We are cowards.”

Iran’s minister of information and communications technology, Mohammad Javad Azari Jahromi, called the death a “bitter incident.”

In a tweet, female lawmaker Parvaneh Salahshouri called Khodayari “Iran’s Girl.”

“We are all responsible,” she wrote.

US slaps new sanctions on Hamas, vows to keep pressure on Iran
[IsraelTimes] Washington blacklists 15 individuals and entities it says help finance terrorist operations; Mnuchin reiterates Trump’s openness to meet Iranian counterpart with no conditions.

The United States on Tuesday announced sanctions against a "wide range" of terrorist groups and their supporters, including the 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 Hamaswith 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...
Strip’s Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, rulers and Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps, and vowed to keep up pressure on the Islamic Theocratic Republic despite the departure of the administration’s most vociferous anti-Tehran hawk.
