[CaracasChronicles] Given how the KPFA [radio] audience would be, mostly, older folks who had, like me, been active in the Central American solidarity movement some 40 years past, I decided to focus the first flyer ... The headline... "Solidarity with the Venezuelan Government‐Or with the Venezuelan People." I presumed that solidarity activists, long-steeped in Leninism... I pointed out ... one third of the murders in Venezuela, by the government's own account, was carried out by the FAES and how people were denied access to food and had limited access to health, education and other basic necessities....The Berkeley left, and the KPFA radio crowd, is an aging demographic sprinkled with a mix of University of California students... And so it's the greatest irony that these people clinging to outworn institutions sheltering the obsolete and dysfunctional faith of socialism in both its 20th and 21st-century varieties would think of themselves as "progressives."

Well. It's a matter of what's being talked about and what's being said. The usual suspects wet themselves whenever someone like Katherine Hepburn, Jimmuah Cahtah or Steve Wozniak said anything about anything. If what is being said rubs anyone the wrong way, it's "there's no fool like an old fool" time. Funny how that works...

Which in turn will motivate our research, which in turn should end all this crazy talk about enabling government backdoors in encryption products. Another point scored by Snowden. Well done!
A related point - how about we see if we can go just 1 year without a major security breach or government leak before we talk about Clipper 2.0?

[YNET] A report seen exclusively by Ynet and Yedioth Ahronoth warns the dire political situation in the West Bank combined with PA leadership's policies have yielded no political gain, while Hamas and its use of violent resistance is perceived as more politically and economically effective
The report was submitted to the PA days before the murder of 18-year-old soldier Dvir Sorek by Palestinian terrorists on August 8 and accurately anticipated the string of terror attacks and attempted attacks in the West Bank and Jerusalem.
The report singles out Palestinians in their mid-twenties, enraged by their situation who see no hope for change in the near future and are therefore most dangerous as potential precipitators of violent resistance.

Any different demographically than flight attendants and crew flying constantly at high altitude (with less protection from sustained solar radiation)?

Fighter pilots are a different sub-species and I would not be surprised if there were multiple lifestyle elements (besides radar exposure) that could increase cancer risk.

Well please stop and consider this: the EA-6B ( RIP) Prowler had a gold coated canopy to prevent entrance of radar waves, as does the various versions of the F/A -18. But to my knowledge there is nothing between the radar transmitter (usually in the nose)and the cockpit; so there may be something to this.
High flying transports and commercial jets' crews are not saying this ame thing so it looks like a rather small sub set.
As to the OBOGS or OBIGGS; these operate via a molecular sieve and do not have any sort of microwaving technology....

How much of the SCIF is constant exposure to airborne chemicals? Comparison to nuke boat crews, particularly attack subs that are "long, black and never come back", would be interesting.

After the book was published, 'Pigpen' got a call from a reader, a fellow pilot, who told him he had the Plei Trap Valley mission on audio. Here's a portion of it.
[VOE] Data reveals at least 235 people affected by homelessness have died over the last six months, ranging from the ages of 16 to 104 years old.
The same figures from last year showed 449 deaths in 12 months ‐ on average one every 20 hours ‐ indicating that the frequency at which homeless people are dying has risen significantly, despite increased awareness of the issue.
Homelessness charities and MPs called on Boris Johnson to address the "sheer lack" of affordable social housing across the country and to increase housing benefit so it covers the true cost of renting, as well as ensuring that all homeless deaths are investigated.
Housing Minister John Healey blames the Conservatives and said "Ministers urgently need to get a grip, back Labour’s plans to end rough sleeping and build thousands of more affordable homes."
Matthew Downie, director of policy and external affairs at Crisis, said it was disgraceful that hundreds of vulnerable people across the country had died without the dignity of a secure home. "We know that homelessness can be ended across the UK, but only by the government tackling the root causes."
[Federalist] In a startling new paper from the Center for Strategic and International Studies, retired colonel Mark Cancian writes about the Afghanistan War. The United States and the Taliban stand on the brink of a framework that would lead to a peace process charting the path for the American troops to come home.
Cancian asks a simple question. The war in Afghanistan was already won by the end of March 2001. The Taliban was decimated, al-Qaeda scuttled, and a government manned by various warlords in place. Why did the United States not leave immediately?
Cancian’s answer wouldn’t surprise anyone who opposed nation-building even in the early days of 2003. The fault was a lack of study of history‐not just modern history, but any history. He writes that U.S. foreign policy mavens and defense planners thought there was a difference between Soviets’ war in Afghanistan and the Western war in Afghanistan.
The common understanding was that the Soviets were occupiers, and the Anglo-Americans were liberators; the Soviets tried to preach communism, while liberal democracy is a natural universal value waiting for everyone to adopt; and the Russians were violent, while the Westerners made sure that civilians were protected even during the war.
These are of course true, and the Russians were far more brutal than the Americans ever were. But Cancian points out that none of that matters to the average Afghan. In its Afghanistan War Americans learned, according to the report, what the Soviets learned the hard way.

"The war in Afghanistan was already won by the end of March 2001."
I think he meant March 2002.
We could have armed the Northern Alliance and let them loose. The inevitable massacres would have been blamed on us (of course we were blamed anyway). The other thing to remember was that OBL wasn't captured and explaining our leaving Afghanistan without killing him would have been difficult.

Bush declared victory and left (for the most part) at the first opportunity, moving the war to Iraq, where we had a better chance of achieving something, politically and logistically. But noooo, Iraq was the bad war and Afghanistan the good one, so we had to go back and get tangled in that mess.

2001-2002 Punitive Campaign more or less accomplished things. Post WW2 it seemed that a lot of little despots got this charming idea: "If we can't build nukes we can invest in terrorists as 'plausibly deniable' WMDs." (With a sly smirk: "It'd be a shame if someone made a mess in your capitol, eh?")
The inevitable necessary response is to publicly chastise some 'Bad Actor' to convince the other jackasses that 'Actions have Consequences'. So far so good, then the Globalists (eager to spend Other People's Money™) and the Opposition Parties decided we had to stay and "fix Afghanistan". *Argh* (1) The whole point of a Punitive Raid is to cause such pain that Bad Actors will not repeat their behavior and (2) Can Afghanistan be "Fixed" (assuming you can even get a consensus on what "fixed" even means... *Spit*) ??
[Free Beacon] Former FBI Director James Comey and his wife have contributed nearly $20,000 to Democrats so far this year, Federal Election Commission filings show.
Comey, who was fired by Donald Trump within four months of him taking over the Oval Office, has been an outspoken critic of the president and has called on Americans to deliver a landslide victory for the Democratic nominee in 2020.
"All of us should use every breath we have to make sure the lies stop on January 20, 2021," Comey told a New York City audience last December. The former FBI director added during an MSNBC appearance that Democrats "have to win."
Earlier this year, Comey gave $2,700 to the presidential campaign of Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D., Minn.), who was in his class at the University of Chicago Law School. The money to Klobuchar's campaign came on the heels of $2,700 that Comey gave to both Jennifer Wexton (D., Va.) and Abigail Spanberger (D., Va.) during last year's midterm elections. Comey also canvassed for Wexton in her Virginia congressional district on Election Day.
Comey, a former Republican, previously donated to John McCain's 2008 presidential campaign and Mitt Romney's 2012 campaign before switching his monetary support to Democrats during the 2018 elections, filings show.

[The Hill] Foreign affairs expert Gordon Chang predicted on Tuesday that the United States and China won’t reach a comprehensive trade deal before the 2020 U.S. elections.
"The markets consistently have underestimated the political considerations on both sides of the Pacific that argue against a deal," Chang, a columnist and author, told Hill.TV during an interview on "Rising."
"So I don’t see a deal coming anytime ‐ certainly not, at least, a comprehensive deal before the elections in our country," he added.
The White House trade office announced Tuesday morning that it plans to delay tariffs on various Chinese imports -- including cell phones, laptop computers, video game consoles, toys, computer monitors, footwear and clothing -- until Dec. 15.
The agency also said that it would exempt an unspecified number of items from a list of Chinese products that will be subject to a 10 percent tariff starting Sept. 1.
The Dow Jones industrial average soared 500 points following news of the delay.
The latest move comes amid President Trump’s escalating trade war with China.
Some Wall Street economists in the past week have warned of rising chances of a recession between now and the 2020 elections, saying Trump’s trade policy is partly to blame. These economic concerns could pose a challenge to Trump as he seeks to tout the economy in his bid for reelection.
Democratic Rep. Debra Haaland of New Mexico referred to antifa as a group of "peaceful protesters" who are simply trying to "safeguard their city" during a Saturday evening interview on CNN.
Haaland's comments came the same day that antifa and far-right protesters clashed in Portland, Oregon. The fighting led to 13 arrests in what was just the most recent incidents of violence between the two groups.

So in the mid 2000's the California Carpetbaggers descended on Taos and Albuquerque (the Representatives district)... Figures.
#10
Steve Schiff (R) used to represent Albuquerque. Steve was probably one of the last post war representatives who were interested in representing their districts rather than getting power, money, and influence. Died of cancer. Special election followed and one of his staff Heather Wilson (R) won that and two regular elections following his passing even though the Donks tried desperately enough to play quick and lose in the election process. Wilson lost her reelection bid when she backed Bush's pre-Obama prescription plan which was seen, as it turned out, a slippery slope.
[Fox News} President Trump spoke out Sunday on reports his administration has been looking into buying Greenland.
Trump addressed the rumors with reporters outside Marine One after he'd landed in Morristown, N.J., saying Denmark has been losing money by keeping Greenland under its control.
"Essentially it’s a large real estate deal. A lot of things can be done. It’s hurting Denmark very badly because they're losing almost $700 million a year carrying it," he said. "So, they carry it at great loss, and strategically for the United States, it would be nice. And, we're a big ally of Denmark and we help Denmark, and we protect Denmark."
Trump said he may be visiting Greenland in the near future, but claimed the issue was not a top priority for the administration.
"I’m thinking about going there. I’m not necessarily, definitely going there, but I may be going. We're going to Poland and then we may be going to Denmark -- not for this reason at all, but we're looking at it," he said. "It’s not number one on the burner."
"We see it as an expression of greater interest in investing in our country and the possibilities we offer," Greenland's government said last week. "Of course, Greenland is not for sale."
White House chief economic adviser Larry Kudlow had confirmed the reports earlier in the day during an interview on "Fox News Sunday" and said it was under consideration.
"It’s an interesting story. It's developing. We're looking at it, we don’t know," Kudlow said. "Years ago, [then-President] Harry Truman wanted to buy Greenland. Denmark owns Greenland, Denmark is an ally."
The Wall Street Journal earlier reported that President Trump was interested in purchasing Greenland and the White House would seek to capitalize on its "abundant resources and geopolitical importance."
"Greenland is a strategic place up there, and they've got a lot of valuable minerals," Kudlow added.
"I don't want to predict an outcome. I'm just saying the president, who knows a thing or two about buying real estate, wants to take a look." I looked at a globe and noticed just where Greenland is.It's not a bad idea, based on it's location alone.

Troll Level +5. The EU would never allow one of its member puppet states to sell land to the Orange Man Bad™.
Truly. He can't possibly be serious — Congress doesn’t even want to give him money to build the wall — but while people are clutching their pearls about this, they’re ignoring whatever it is that he’s quietly doing.
Not to mention that I think he really enjoys seeing them shriek in outrage over absurdities.
#5
as noted in the article, President Truman wanted to buy Greenland. This was due to the issue of having military assets there and making it a part of the early warning system
we still have a military base at Thule (I doubt this base is still necessary but maybe I'm wrong)
buying the Island would be a problem in the short term as the Greenlanders mostly don't speak English and rely on Denmark for welfare, health care and so forth
in the long term, yes resources would be available but really the nature of the economy continues to change and the value of mineral deposits is offset by the many costs of mining, transportation, etc.
This would, I think, be a good deal for Denmark and a bad one for the USA

By Trump making the first offers the EU will respond by wondering what Trump wants in Greenland. They will inevitably realize the massive hydro and geothermal potential of the place and possibly get their green neck out from under Putin's boot. Just to spite Trump.
Alaska Purchase, (1867), acquisition by the United States from Russia of 586,412 square miles (1,518,800 square km) of land at the northwestern tip of the North American continent, comprising the current U.S. state of Alaska.

As I understand it he was in a meeting where someone mentioned that Denmark didn't have enough money to keep Greenland solvent. Some one said to Trump, "You should buy it". He was joking. Trump said, "Can we do that? Maybe I should". They were joking.

From Norway;Dear Don. We hear that you are hoping to buy Greenland. All we Norwegians can say is: Get in line! The thing is that Greenland is not really Denmark’s to sell. You see, we discovered it (by ‘we’ I mean an axe murdering maniac named Erik). Back in 1814 the Swedes (I know, harder back then) beat Denmark to give up Norway. But they forgot to get the trimmings, that is the Norwegian ‘empire’ (greatest empire ever!) that we had when entering union with Denmark (worst deal ever!). Norway tried to sue for Greenland in the Hague and lost (so sad!). So, we have dibs, should the Danes break with the past 100 years of international norms, rules, laws and put it on the market. I am pretty sure we can match your offer and throw in some lutefisk (put some hair on Danish chests!) Sadly, the land now seems to belong to those who live there, you know, the Wilsonian thing - self-determination and all that (damned liberals!). But if we are going to go foreign policy Viking-style, Norway is first in line (MNGA!)

g(r)omgoru, I was married to a German for a decade. Granted they've gone off the rails since hten but doing things out of spite is not beyond them. Also generating power in someone else backyard so they can pretend to be green is a basic liberal attitude be it Germany shutting down nuke plants and depending upon Russian gas or California shutting down dams and all energy generation and depending upon Texas they think the same.

[AlAhram] Fahmy, CEO of The Investigative Journal (TIJ), urged French President Macron to rid La Belle France of political Islamist institutions.
Mohammed Fahmy, a former al-Jazeera English journalist who was tossed in the clink Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'! in Egypt on terrorism charges in 2013, said in a statement on Sunday that political Islamist institutions in La Belle France are now operating like a Trojan horse, moving quickly and seriously to spread radical Islam in French cities, towns, and villages.

to rid La Belle France of political Islamist institutions
[BREITBART] Saturday at the Young Leader’s Conference in Atlanta, 2020 presidential hopeful, Sen. Bernie Sanders ...The only first openly Socialist member of the U.S. Senate. Sanders was Representative-for-Life from Vermont until moving to the Senate for the rest of his life in 2006, assuming the seat vacated by Jim Jeffords. He ran for the 2016 nomination for president, to be cheated out of it by Hillary Clinton, then went back to being a socialist, waiting for 2020 to roll around... (I-VT) pledged to go to war against white nationalism and racism if he wins the presidency.
Sanders said, "I’m Jewish. My family came from Poland. My father’s whole family was wiped out by Hitler and his white nationalism. Too many people have fought over the years. Too many people have died against racism to let it resurface and flourish in America."
He continued, "We will go to war with nationalism and racism in every aspect of our lives."
He added, "When we combat white nationalism, and when we combat racism, we are going to use all the laws in our power."

McCarthy keeps looking more and more prescient, not the puppet! They have been on a long march through our culture and educational institutions since the late 30's, and now they call themselves progressive...
[BREITBART] Sunday on CNN’s "State of the Union," 2020 Democratic presidential hopeful South Bend, IN Mayor Pete Buttigieg ...the testicleless mayor of South Bend, Indiana, since 2012. Buttigieg graduated from Harvard College and, on a Rhodes Scholarship, from Pembroke College, Oxford. From 2007 to 2010, he worked at McKinsey and Company, a consulting firm. From 2009 to 2017 Buttigieg served as an intelligence officer in the United States Navy Reserve, attaining the rank of lieutenant and deploying to Afghanistan in 2014. Buttigieg was first elected mayor of South Bend in 2011 and was reelected in 2015. During his second term, he announced he was gay. Buttigieg also campaigned for Indiana state treasurer in 2010 and for chair of the Democratic National Committee in 2017, losing both elections. He is running for the Dem nomination in 2020 on the theory that being mayor of a nondescript medium sized city is qualification to run the country... said Americans who voted for President Donald Trump ...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US... were "looking the other way on racism."
Tapper asked, "You told me on this show two weeks ago that you believe President Trump is a white nationalist. Given that, do you think that it’s a racist act to cast a vote for President Trump in 2020?"
Buttigieg said, "Well, at best, it means looking the other way on racism. I think a lot of people are wondering what kind of deal even that is supposed to be. You know you look at what he said in that rally. You have no choice but to vote for me. And if you look at the numbers, basically what he’s saying is, ’all right, I want you to look the other way on the racism, tolerate the negativity, accept the instability of my administration because I’m going to deliver for you job growth almost as good as the Obama years.’ That’s what his argument amounts to now. It’s part of the reason why he’s unpopular."

[BREITBART] Sunday on NBC’s "Meet the Press," 2020 presidential hopeful former Rep. Beto O’Rourke; ...Kennedyeque businessman, musician, skateboard artiste, and politician who represented Texas' 16th congressional district in the United States House of Representatives from 2013 to 2019. Beto is a Latino nickname for people whose names end in "erto," like "Roberto" or "Alberto." He is seeking the Dem nomination for President in 2020 because he has nice hair and lots of teeth. He was born into a local political family in El Paso, Texas and is a graduate of a prep school and Columbia University, which is not in Texas. In 2005, he was elected to the El Paso City Council. He was elected to Congress in 2012 after defeating eight-term incumbent Silvestre Reyes in the Democratic primary. He declined to seek re-election in 2018, instead running for the Senate against Republican Ted Cruz, running a campaign that drew national attention because of his skateboarding skills. A few months after he lost, he announced his campaign for President... (D-TX) predicted if President Donald Trump ...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons...... won a second term, "we’ll lose America."
O’Rourke said, "There is a concerted, organized attack against immigrants colonists, against people of color, against those who do not look like or pray like or love like the majority in this country. And this moment will define us one way or another. And if we do not wake up to it, I am convinced that we’ll lose America, this country, in our sleep. And we cannot allow that to happen."
He added, "Yes, Democrats have to address those issues and deliver on those issues, but we also have to call out the existential threat, to use the word you just employed, that Donald Trump represents right now. Not only are we going to lose more live, I’m confident that we will lose this country and our democracy the longer he says in office. So that is the urgency behind what I’m talking about."

Talking points are out. So is Russia. I guess Hitler is not working either. So, the party of slavery, the Klan, and segregation is calling Trump racist in chorus. No one told them that the card was already over drawn?
[DAWN] At least two persons were killed and one young boy was maimed in two sectors of Azad Jammu and 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.... (AJK) in "unprovoked" Indian firing on Sunday, officials said.
The deaths occurred in Battal sector in Poonch district while the boy was maimed in Abbaspur sector of the same district which has been facing cross Line of Control (LoC) shelling for the past several days.
"Today the shelling began at 6:30pm and continued for two hours without any pause. However, we can't all be heroes. Somebody has to sit on the curb and applaud when they go by... it is intermittent at the moment," a police official based in Battal told Dawn at 10pm, but declined to be identified.
He said one of the shells landed close to the venue of the wedding of one, Muhammad Aqeel, son of Muhammad Siddique Bhatti in Darra Sher Khan village.
Splinters of a shell pierced the groom’s 60-year-old uncle, Hassan Din aka Balochi, who had come all the way from Dadyal tehsil of Mirpur district to attend the ceremony.
Apart from him, 63-year-old Lal Din, son of Muhammad Din, a resident of Darra Sher Khan village, was also hit by the splinters.
Both went titzup, the official said.
In Abbaspur sector of Poonch district, Saddam Noor, a seven-year-old boy, was critically injured after he an Indian sniper hit him in the head from across the nearby LoC.
The boy was rushed to CMH Rawalakot at death's door, an official said.
"Heavy firing is going on and its thunder is making all the residents restless," said local journalist Saira Yousuf Chughtai at 10:40pm
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Greta Thunberg's two-week trip across Atlantic in 'zero-carbon yacht' may generate more emissions than it saves as two of the crew have to FLY to New York to bring the boat back to Europe...
'We added the trip to New York City at very short notice, and as a result two people will need to fly over to the US in order to bring the boat back,' a Team Malizia spokeswoman told the Times.
She added: 'The world has not yet found a way to make it possible to cross an ocean without a carbon footprint.'
And a further two sailors who are currently on board the Malizia II with Greta may use air travel to get back to Europe. below is the home page of the yacht - personally, I wouldn’t want to spend more than a few hours on this boat

Well, there were the Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria. Then there was the Mayflower, not to mention all the Viking ships and don't forget the Polynesians who sailed from Tahiti to Hawaii. These people used no fossil fuels, only wood, canvas, raw courage and seamanship.
But this is not to denigrate the Malizia II. It is a sleek, high tech racing yacht, probably designed more for speed than comfort. Even if they're letting little Greta ride along, and even if they used a few petroleum products in its construction, it is still an extremely cool sailboat.
When I first heard this story there were few details so I got the impression that the girl would sail solo like some girls her age have done. But those girls practiced and studied sailing since they were little. Sailing is their primary interest, not lecturing grown ups on complex subjects of which they have no understanding and trying to sell their mother's book.
Then after seeing pictures of the boat under sail I realized, little Greta will be no more than excess baggage on this voyage.
I wonder if she has ever experienced seasickness.

[ALMASDARNEWS] 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.... (ISIS) carried out a new ambush along the Palmyra-Deir Ezzor Highway this week, targeting a Syrian military convoy as it was traveling east from the ancient city.
According to a local report, the Syrian convoy, which was comprised of mostly military personnel from the National Defense Forces (NDF), were traveling along this roadway when a group of Islamic State Lions of Islam ambushed their troops.
The report added that a number of soldiers were killed or maimed as a result of this Islamic State ambush.
Since the start of 2019, the Islamic State has carried out several attacks against the Syrian military and Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in eastern and central Syria.
The Islamic State has resorted to ambushes and terrorist attacks to wreak havoc across Syria; this has even stretched as far as the Idlib Governorate, where the terrorist group’s sleeper cells have remained active.
[ALMASDARNEWS] The Ottoman Turkish-backed Free Syrian Army ... the more palatable version of the Syrian insurgency, heavily influenced by the Moslem Brüderbund... (TFSA) launched several artillery shells towards the town of Tal Rifa’at in northern Aleppo this evening.
According to local activists, some of the murderous Moslem artillery shells hit a Russian Army post in the Tal Rifa’at area; this attack reportedly maimed one Russian soldier.
The Russian military did not respond to the attack, nor did the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) troops that are present in this area.
In the past, the Ottoman Turkish-backed rebels have heavily shelled Tal Rifa’at and its surroundings, with these attacks often targeting both the People’s Protection Units (YPG) and Syrian Arab Army.
Tal Rifa’at was captured by the YPG during their northern Aleppo offensive against the murderous Moslem forces in 2015.
[DAWN] Thousands of people have been detained in Indian-Indian 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.... e over fears of unrest since New Delhi stripped the restive region of its autonomy two weeks ago, government sources told AFP.
A magistrate, speaking to AFP on condition of anonymity, said that at least 4,000 people were arrested and held under the Public Safety Act (PSA), a controversial law that allows authorities to imprison someone for up to two years without charge or trial.
"Most of them were flown out of Kashmir because prisons here have run out of capacity," the magistrate said, adding that he had used a satellite phone allocated to him to collate the figures from colleagues across the Himalayan territory amid a communications blackout imposed by authorities.
[IsraelTimes] Terror group officials have in the past used the term to distance the organization from perpetrators of certain attacks.
The Hamas, a regional Iranian catspaw, terror group said on Sunday that "rebellious youth" were killed by Israeli forces near the border fence between the Jewish state and 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 on Saturday night.
The Israel Defense Forces said early on Sunday that its soldiers had spotted a group of armed suspects near the fence. The military said that an attack helicopter and a tank fired at the suspects, but did not provide details on casualties.
Later in the day, the Hamas-run health ministry in Gaza said three Paleostinians were killed by the Israeli fire.
Spokesman Abdelatif al-Qanou said on his Facebook page on Sunday that Israel had "killed and injured four rebellious youths, which is a reflection of its brutal behavior against our people and proof of the ugliness of its crimes."
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... , the second largest terror group in Gaza, said in a statement that Israel had targeted a group of "angry youths" and stated that it holds the Jewish state fully responsible for "its ugly crimes at our people’s expense."
Hamas officials have previously attributed attacks to "rebellious" or "angry" youths to distance itself from those actions.
In the past two weeks, Paleostinian bully boyz have attempted to cross into Israel from Gaza on a number of occasions.
On Sunday, funeral processions were held for the three Paleostinians who were killed overnight. Their bodies were wrapped in Hamas, Islamic Jihad and Fatah flags, respectively.
The three armed men were identified by Palestinian media as 21 year-old Mohammed Al-Taramsi, 23 year-old Mohammad Abu Namous and 22 year-old Mahmoud Al-Walaydeh. Their bodies were recovered by medical crews Sunday morning and moved to the Indonesian hospital before their burial later in the day.
[Jpost] The Islamic Jihad took credit for the latest rockets fired at Israel from the Gazoo Strip during the weekend, according to the Army Radio.
The report claimed that the Islamic Jihad is trying to incite the situation between Israel in Gaza, while Hamas, a regional Iranian catspaw, is trying to maintain the clam as they discuss terms of ceasefire with Israel.
Diyala (IraqiNews.com) ‐ Three mortar shells fell Sunday on an agricultural land in the eastern Iraqi province of Diyala, a local source said.
Speaking to Iraqi website Baghdad Today, the source said that the mortar attack targeted an agricultural land in Khanaqin district, 100 km northeast of Baqubah.
"The attack left no casualties," the source said, adding that a probe was opened to identify perpetrators of the attack.
We found out a few days ago that he was deported to the U.S. last Friday evening, but it’s nice to find out who he is.
[BREITBART] Mexican authorities arrested a man wanted in the United States by the FBI for his role in supporting Islamic terrorist organizations.
Mexico’s Attorney General’s Office (FGR) arrested Mohammed Azharuddin Chip this week at an immigration center in Huehuetan, Chiapas. Authorities detained him on an Interpol blue notice, according to information provided to Breitbart Texas by FGR. The wanted runaway is in the process of being extradited to Washington D.C.
Mexican authorities searched for Azharuddin in connection with an FBI investigation into his role in publishing information on online forums connected to radical Islamic terrorism and Jihad. Mexican authorities did not reveal additional information related to the case or his ultimate destination. Mexican immigration authorities held him at their immigration center in Chiapas before they turned him over to the FGR to handle his extradition to Washington. It remains unclear how Azharuddin arrived in Mexico.
As Breitbart Texas reported, Chiapas is one of the areas where Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador deployed thousands of National Guard agents to curtail the number of Central American migrants colonists moving north in route to the U.S. border. The mass deployment of troops came after U.S. President Donald Trump ...the Nailer of NAFTA... threatened Mexico with tariffs over AMLO’s initial soft approach to immigration.
[DAWN] QUETTA: A day after a prayer leader was killed in Kuchlak, another imam was bumped off in the same area on the outskirts of the picturesque provincial capital on Saturday.
Hafiz Hamdullah, the imam who was killed on Friday just before the weekly prayers in a kaboom at his al-Haj mosque, was said to be a brother of Afghan Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... chief Haibatullah Akhundzada. A total of four people were killed in the earth-shattering kaboom.
Police said on Saturday that Muhammad Azam, who was the imam of Usman bin Afaan mosque of Kuchlak, was killed in what looked like a assassination.
The prayer leader was sitting in a shop in Kuchlak town when some men opened fire on him, before fleeing from the scene of the crime on their cycle of violence, police said.
Maulvi Azam received multiple bullet injuries and succumbed to his wounds on the spot, they said.
"The 50-year-old man was an Afghan citizen and had been the prayer leader of the Usman bin Afaan mosque for many years," a police officer said, adding that he used to live in a house close to the mosque.
Police said that investigations were under way in the case.
Till the filing of this report no group or individual had grabbed credit for the killing.
The Afghan Taliban, meanwhile, said the killing of their chief’s brother in a kaboom on Friday would not derail talks with the United States aimed at securing the withdrawal of US troops after 18 years of war, Rooters reported.
[DAILYCALLER] A series of Saturday festivities between Antifa ...the armed wing of the Democratic Party... and right-wing groups were caught on video and posted to Twitter by journalists Andy Ngo, Elijah Schaffer and others.
Portland’s Rose City Antifa comprised one of the leftist groups there to oppose right-wing demonstrators from various organizations, including Proud Boys, Oathkeepers, and Three Percenters.
President Donald Trump ...The man who was so stupid he beat fourteen professional politicians, a former tech CEO, and a brain surgeon for the Republican nomination in 2016, then beat The Smartest Woman in the World in the general election... tweeted Saturday morning that the city was "being watched very closely" with consideration "being given to naming Antifa" a terrorist organization.

Sacrifice, folks. Fighting for your freedoms requires sacrifice. The time for looking to judiciaries, presidents and authorities for protecting you is ending. It's soon going to be the criminal's boot on the citizen's neck. This is how the exodus of law abiding nationalists begins from their beloved towns to 'relatively peaceful places'. You can laugh it up, curse and move to Dakota, review on twitter that it's 'so much better here', but soon it'll be there too.
It has been seen all over the world, this pattern.
They won't designate it a terrorist group until it has attained proportions of force which the average citizen, armed or not, cannot meet. You have to make lists of these people, find out where they live, their families. And bring their fight to them while you still can. Some of it shall cost you, and no one will sing songs and hold candles for you outside the penitentiaries. But then that is the price of liberty.
I believe the real right-wing must awaken now, while there's still time. And those with any influence or finances to support must help actuate a coordinated guerilla force unafraid to descend to bloody conflict with these swine. Stealth attacks, made to look like urban rage. Cyber attacks and contracted attacks from foreign hackers, getting IPs and signatures of activists embroiled in criminal threats, etc. Intimidation at home and the workplace. Fire with fire.

One Antifa member arrested was wearing a "Beta Cuck 4 Lyfe" t-shirt, so we have that going for us. The larger take away from this is to observe how Dems and their media spokesholes once again circle the wagons to protect their shock troops. One correction to article: Oathkeepers did not participate -they backed out just after Mayor Wheeler launched his decapitation strike against the local patriot leadership, arresting them and jailing them the night before the rally on some demonstrably false charges. Both sides have shown the ability to adapt and employ new tactics. One last observation: with the Dems and the media now having fully accepted Antifa as their own, the situation is going to worsen considerably heading into 2020

Don't assume that these thugs will not discover the value of guns.
We’ve had reports here that Antifa and other radical leftwing groups have been organize shooter training for themselves and getting gun licenses. And that is separate from regular gun instructors offering classes for liberals in the hope of reducing antigun prejudice.

That's good; now we need a critical mass of "conservatives" to adopt the same attitude.
[ALMASDARNEWS] There has been little calm at the mountaintop town of Kabani today, as Russian jets and helicopters continue to hammer the jihadist forces inside this turban stronghold in northeastern Latakia.
According to a military source in the Latakia Governorate, the Russian Air Force repeatedly struck the positions of the Turkestan Islamic Party and Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham, formerly al-Nusra, before that it was called something else ...al-Qaeda's Syrian affiliate, from which sprang the Islamic State... on Saturday.
The source added that these strikes inflicted heavy damage on the jihadist defenses, while also killing and wounding many snuffies in the process.
At the same time, the Syrian Arab Army is preparing to launch another big attack on Kabani to secure the Zuwayqat Mountain region of northeast Latakia.
A source from the 4th Armored Division stated that the army’s attack was only temporarily halted so that the Russian Air Force could weaken the jihadist defenses at Kabani.
The Syrian Army has relied on the Russian Air Force to destroy the caves and tunnels that have been used by the jihadist rebels to carry out ambushes against the military.

It was Adolph H. Who took the firearms from Jews and others who he deemed enemies. It was Hitler who stacked the courts with his cronies. It was Hitler who wrote laws that enabled this to happen. It was Hitler and his crony judges and legislators who ignored the German Constitution and often legislated from the bench. The parallels with the last administration are scary. Check out a book that documents all this titled "Defying Hitler" by Sebastian Hafner.
[Ynet] The renewed rocket attacks on Israel's south is Hamas, one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbund millipede,' attempts to neutralize the internal criticism 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 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... , claiming the terror group has been getting too chummy with its mortal enemy, while simultaneously pushing Israeli government into a corner
Every few years, there is an awakening within Hamas' military wing. When the group’s most impassioned and trigger-happy members start feeling there’s not enough adrenaline in the terror groups’ armed wing and begin seeking greener pastures elsewhere.

[DAILYCALLER] A Florida woman who surprised an officer when she pulled a small alligator from her yoga pants during a traffic stop got probation after she pleaded guilty in the case.
The 25-year old woman, Ariel Machan-Le Quire, received the sentence Thursday after she pleaded guilty to four charges stemming from illegally possessing wild animals.
The female passenger and driver of the truck, 22-year-old, Michael Clemons, were stopped by a deputy with the Charlotte County sheriff’s department back in May after they had reportedly run a stop sign.
Clemons, at the time, told the officer the pair were out collecting frogs and snakes under an overpass and he gave deputies permission to search his vehicle.
During the search, the deputy also discovered 41 3-stripe turtles, yes you read that correctly, in a "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" backpack.
Then the sheriff’s deputy asked Ariel if the two had anything else hidden, she then pulled out the 1-foot gator from her pants.
Clemons’ case is still pending.
It is still unclear just why the Florida woman had the alligator in her pants.
[DAILYCALLER] Al-Qaeda released a video of ISIS militants flubbing their lines while trying to renew their pledge of allegiance to ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
The ISIS fighter in the video has been identified as Abu Muhammad al-Adeni, according to the Telegraph. The video, shows a chirping bird repeatedly interrupting al-Adeni, causing him to forget his lines.

The paramilitary Popular Mobilization Forces said in a press statement that the two IS Lions of Islam were arrested during a counter-terrorism operation in al Baaj district in Tel Afar.
According to the statement, the pair were involved in a deadly car kaboom in Tel Afar district a few months ago, which left scores of citizens dead and maimed.
Nineveh (IraqiNews.com) – Iraqi military intelligence forces arrested on Sunday three Islamic State militants during a military operation in Nineveh province.

The three terrorists, according to the statement, were implicated in several terrorist attacks against Iraqi security forces in Mosul city.
The arrest of the Islamic State militants was based on intelligence information, added the statement.

[BREITBART] Sunday on ABC’s "This Week," former Georgia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams accused President Donald Trump ...the Nailer of NAFTA... of not just being a racist but also someone who "doesn’t value humanity."
Abrams said, "I have said many times he is racist. More importantly, he does not value Americans and he does not value humanity. That should be more disturbing to everyone than the title we subscribe to him."

[Rudaw] Germany is set to take back over a hundred children born to suspected 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.... (ISIS) members as well as "scores of men and women," according to a local monitor in northern Syria, in would be the largest scale repatriation of ISIS-linked nationals by a Europe ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... an country to date.
"On Monday, a number of German orphans born to ISIS members will be handed over to the German Foreign Ministry at the Semalka border crossing," read a Sunday tweet from Rojava Information Center (RIC), an organization with ties to the ruling Autonomous Administration of North and East of Syria (NES).
The repatriations will be Germany’s first, with "over 100 ISIS-linked German children, plus scores of men & women" held by the NES set to be returned, RIC added.
Incapable of managing the tens of thousands of ISIS suspects, spouses and children, the NES, often referred to as Rojava, has called on the international community to take back their nationals.
Over 11,000 foreign women and kiddies live in "dire conditions" at al-Hol camp - which holds the families of some ISIS suspects - in northern Syria, according to a report by Human Rights Watch in late July.
Tensions between those detained at the camp and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) who control it have reached boiling point, with attacks on camp guards and protests against camp conditions.
French newspaper Le Monde reported in February that 800 Western men, 700 women, and some 1,500 of their children are estimated to be held in SDF camps.
The US government has insisted on European countries’ wide scale repatriation of citizens suspected of ISIS membership, or born of suspected ISIS members.
Some countries, like Belgium, La Belle France and the Netherlands, are repatriating the children of ISIS fighters in Syria on a "case by case basis."
A German court ordered the repatriation of an ISIS wife and their three children in July after the family sued Germany's foreign ministry, who intended to repatriate the children without their mother.
Germany has repatriated several children from facilities in Iraq, controlled by the Kurdistan Regional Government's (KRG) security forces, in April.
"The number of minors already brought back to Germany [from Iraq] has reached a high single-digit figure," a source from the Foreign Ministry told AFP.
Monday’s repatriation would make a significant dent in the estimate of 117 children who are likely German nationals being held in detention centers in Syria and Iraq, as reported by German channel WDR in June.
Rudaw English contacted the German Foreign Ministry for a comment on the repatriation, but has yet to receive a response.

[Rudaw] A boom-mobileing outside a school in the northern Syria city of Qamishli on Sunday morning killed a member of the Kurdish Asayesh security forces and maimed another, health officials confirmed.
The incident comes as US and Ottoman Turkish officials continue to thrash out the details of a new ’safe zone’ along The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire... ’s shared border with Kurdish-controlled northern Syria.
The maimed Asayesh officers were taken to the city’s Rahma Hospital where one of them departed this vale of tears, health officials told Rudaw’s Vivyan Fatah.
The blast occurred outside al-Sina’a high school in the city’s al-Arbouiya district around 8:30 a.m. during the morning rush hour.
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.... group (ISIS) has grabbed credit for the attack.
According to a post by the jihadist group’s Amaq News Agency on messaging app Telegram, the blast targeted a Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) office, killing six.
Rudaw has been unable to verify the claim.
Qamishli is located in Hasaka province, northern Syria and is under the control of the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (NES). However, if you can't say something nice about a person some juicy gossip will go well... some neighborhoods remain under the control of the Syrian regime.
Early last month, 12 people were maimed when a boom-mobilewent kaboom! near a church in a Syrian regime-held neighbourhood of Qamishli.
p
A car bomb killed a police officer and wounded two other people Sunday in the Kurdish-majority city of Qamishli in northeast Syria, police said, the second such attack in just over a month.
Kurdish police spokesman Ali al-Hassan said the car bomb was detonated by "remote control" near a school, "killing a member of our (police) forces."
An AFP correspondent at the scene said the car exploded as a Kurdish police patrol drove by, not far from a Syrian army position.

[SpokesmanReview] If state Rep. Matt Shea’s views on church and state could fit on a bumper sticker, it might say, "Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God."
That phrase appears repeatedly in a trove of private emails and documents recently obtained by The Spokesman-Review through multiple sources. Shea, R-Spokane Valley, has used it to sign messages to his associates on the far right, including militia members who took part in the 2016 armed standoff at an Oregon wildlife refuge.
The phrase helps explain how Shea justifies his us-against-them rhetoric. Muslims, journalists and critics of all political stripes are "supporting tyranny" if they don’t support his view that the United States is "a Christian nation." Critics fear that Shea, an Army combat veteran, has begun employing that same principle to justify violence ‐ to "resist tyranny" and "obey God" by any means at his disposal.

[DAWN] Police on Sunday said that they consider the killing of a teenage boy by an angry mob 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... , an act of terror and will invoke Section 7 of the Anti Terrorism Act, 1997 against those involved, as they arrested three more suspects in the case.
On Saturday, a 16-year-old alleged thief was beaten to death by an enraged crowd in Bahadurabad following an alleged attempt at theft.
He was tortured and killed publicly, with the brutal acts recorded on video, triggering fear and anger among the people.
The boy's family has also demanded that a terror case be registered against two suspects that were arrested yesterday and others involved, said Ferozabad SHO Aurangzeb Khattak on Sunday.
On Sunday evening, DIG East Amir Farooqi told Dawn that three more suspects had been arrested, bringing the total up to five.
The senior officer added that the held suspects can be seen in the videos in which the teenager is being tortured.
"We are going after the rest," vowed DIG Farooqi.
The Sherlocks are currently exchanging views with the prosecution about changing the relevant section of the law and adding Section 7-ATA in the case.
[SANA.SY] Syrian Arab Army units on Sunday continued operations targeting the positions of murderous Moslems from Jabhat al-Nusra ...formally Jabhat an-Nusrah li-Ahli al-Sham (Support Front for the People of the Levant), also known as al-Qaeda in the Levant. They aim to establish a pan-Arab caliphate. Not the same one as the Islamic State, though .. ... and groups allied to it in Idleb countryside, expanding the area under its control in the western countryside of Khan Sheikhoun in the province’s southern countryside, inflicting heavy losses upon terrorists.
SANA’s news hound said that army operations during the past few hours focused on al-Nusra fortifications and positions in the direction of Kafridon and al-Sabbaghiya in the countryside of Khan Sheikhoun, leaving many murderous Moslems dead or injured while others fled the area.

[BREITBART] A migrant who arrived in the country as an asylum seeker four years ago was placed in durance vile Drop the rod and step away witcher hands up! for murdering a young woman who refused his sexual advances.
Karar Ali Karar, 29, was sentenced to life imprisonment on Thursday after pleading guilty to murdering 21-year-old Jodi Miller in Harehills, Leeds, in February, after she had refused to have sex him. He stabbed Jodi 15 times, and so violently that the knife was broken into three pieces, according to the Metro.
Prosecutor Jason Pitter QC had told Leeds Crown Court that Karar was "so enraged and frustrated by her rejection that he decided, in his mind, to teach her a lesson. To confront her and ultimately kill her," only pausing in his assault to kick his victim and call her a "hooker".
The murder, who took place in the home of a friend of Jodi’s, was witnessed by two others in the room, including a 15-year-old boy, who tried to stop the attack, but Karar threatened to kill them, as well.
The judge ordered he serve a life sentence, serving a minimum of 25 years in prison.
Karar had come to the UK from Sudan in 2015 seeking political asylum, arriving in Newcastle before moving to Leeds.

That's Karar. Tell me if you see a 29 year old.
I see a grizzled, habitual taker of innocent life. 25 years is injustice. He will influence inmates in worse ways. If his antecedents are investigated they will find he's either a regime soldier or terrorist runaway from some four letter raghead collective.
[DW] Refugees who return to Syria for holidays might lose their refugee status in Germany, German Interior Minister Horst Seehofer told the Bild newspaper. Some newcomers simultaneously claim to be fleeing persecution there.
German Interior Minister Horst Seehofer announced a tough response to Syrian refugees who leave Germany for holidays in their home country.
"If somebody, a Syrian refugee, regularly takes holidays in Syria, he cannot honestly claim to be persecuted in Syria," Seehofer told Bild am Sonntag weekly.
"We would have to strip him of his refugee status," he added.
As soon as German officials learn of such trips, they will launch a probe into the migrants colonists' refugee status, Seehofer added.
The Bavarian conservative did not say how many people would be affected by this policy.
German officials are currently unable to deport people to Syria as the Middle Eastern country is considered unsafe. The ban is set to expire at the end of 2019, although there is an option to prolong it.
Talking to the Sunday edition of the mass-circulation Bild newspaper, Seehofer said German authorities were closely monitoring the situation in Syria.
"When the conditions allow, we will conduct deportations," he said.
Seehofer has repeatedly clashed with Chancellor Angela Merkel ...chancellor of Germany and the impetus behind Germany's remarkably ill-starred immigration program. Merkel used to be referred to by Germans as Mom. Now they make faces at her for inundating the country with Moslem colonists... over her refugee policy, which he believes is too liberal.
Some 780,000 Syrians have migrated to Germany in recent years, fleeing the civil war, which started in 2011. The Syrian regime, led by Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad Light of the Alawites... , now controls most of Syria. The fighting and Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s continue in the nation's northwest, mostly in the Idlib province, which is still controlled by the rebels. Hundreds of thousands of people have bit the dust in the conflict.

From the Times of India Paper:
Next agenda should be getting back PoK says Minister
After scrapping of Article 370, the government’s next agenda should be to get back the Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), Rajya Sabha nominated member Subramanian Swamy said on Monday.
Supporting the resolution on removal of Article 370 — that gives special status to Jammu and Kashmir — moved in the Upper House, Swamy also said that now there is nothing to mediate in the Kashmir issue for the US President Donald Trump except for him to tell Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan to return the land taken illegally from India.
[NYPOST] ISIS says it was behind the weekend suicide kaboom of an Afghan wedding that left 63 dead ‐ including women and kiddies ‐ and nearly 200 others maimed.
The terrorist group said a Pak ISIS member had carried out the late Saturday attack by detonating a boom-mobile outside the gathering in a Shiite neighborhood in the western part of Afghanistan’s capital of Kabul.
ISIS has been behind previous attacks on Shiites, who they consider a religious and political enemy.
Ahmad Omid, who survived the blast at a wedding hall known as Dubai City, said about 1,200 guests had been invited for his father’s cousin’s wedding.
"I was with the groom in the other room when we heard the blast, and then I couldn’t find anyone," he said. "Everyone was lying all around the hall."
The bomb detonated near the stage of the celebration, where musicians were playing, and "all the youths, children and all the people who were there were killed," said Gul Mohammad, and eyewitness to the blast.
The deadly explosion followed an earlier bombing in Kabul on Aug. 7, when 14 people were killed and 145 maimed. The previous blast occurred on the same road as the wedding attack and had targeted government security forces.
The latest bombing was condemned by local Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... gunnies as "forbidden and unjustifiable."
Kabul’s huge, brightly lit wedding halls are centers of community life in a city weary of decades of war, with thousands of dollars spent on a single evening.
"Devastated by the news of a suicide kaboom inside a wedding hall in Kabul," presidential front man Sediq Seddiqui said in a Twitter post. "A heinous crime against our people; how is it possible to train a human and ask him to go and blow himself (up) inside a wedding?!!"

[DAWN] At least three people were killed after a bomb went off in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa's Upper Dir district on Sunday.
The blast, which occurred in the Gumadand area of the Sheringal tehsil, left at least a dozen people injured, said police.
Upper Dir District Police Officer (DPO) Naseeb Jan confirmed the incident saying that three people had been killed while 19 others were maimed, including two coppers.
According to the DPO, an improvised bomb (IED) had been planted on the roadside which exploded as a double-cabin vehicle was passing by.
"The victims have an old enmity with another family who fled the area and reportedly joined Taliban ...Arabic for students... ," the officer told DawnNewsTV, adding that the two families target each other whenever they get a chance.
All the injured were shifted to a hospital, where five were said to be at death's door. Police have started a search operation but no arrests have been made so far.
Pakistani police say a pro-government tribal elder has been killed by a bomb planted in his vehicle in the country's northwest, near the Afghan border.
Senior officer Mian Naseeb Jan said Sunday's explosion killed four others and wounded six as they were traveling in the Upper Dir district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. He said the bomb was likely detonated remotely.
The Pak claimed responsibility for the attack.
“Yessiree bob, it wuz us what dunnit.”
The mountainous border region was once a stronghold for the Taliban, al-Qaeda and other militant groups.
Pakistan claims to have driven out the militants in a series of military operations in recent years, but the region still sees occasional attacks.
[IsraelTimes] Lebanese terror operatives seen starting a large brush fire along the border that quickly spreads into Israel.
A fire that raged along Israel’s border with Leb on Friday appears to be the work of Hezbollah bully boyz adopting the arson techniques that Paleostinians 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 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... have used repeatedly to attack Israel, according to footage aired Sunday by Channel 12 TV.
In the footage, Hezbollah operatives can be seen setting fires near the border. Strong winds quickly fanned the flames and caused the fire to cross the boundary and spread toward an IDF base and the community of Margaliot.
In the footage, UN peacekeepers can be seen patrolling near the fires, but making no attempt to stop the Hezbollah men from setting fires.
The fires cause several landmines places along the border to explode. Local firefighters took several hours to put out the fire in an effort that was hampered by the inability to use fire-fighting aircraft due to the proximity to the hostile border.
"Everyone knows the Lebanese side is responsible for these provocations," local official Yoram Mahluf told Channel 12. "They are testing us."
The news report said officials believe that Hezbollah would continue to set fires along the border in order to try and keep the IDF distracted and also to clear brush that special forces could use for cover.
Israel has long warned that Hezbollah plans to try and invade northern Israel in any future war and earlier this year uncovered several attack tunnels built deep into Israel that were supposed to allow its fighters to enter into Israel.
The tactic also appears to be in imitation of Paleostinian bully boyz in Gaza who have been sending thousands of arson balloons into Israel with devastating effect.
The tactic of launching balloons carrying explosive and arson devices from Gaza into Israel emerged last year as part of a series of protests and riots along the Strip’s border, known collectively as the March of Return. The simple and cheap method of attack by Paleostinians proved effective against the far more powerful Israel Defense Forces, which despite its technological and military might initially struggled to counter the threat posed by balloons and inflated condoms.
From April to June 2018, Israeli firefighters extinguished 1,954 fires started by arson attacks in the fields, forests and grasslands around the Gaza Strip. They fought 383 blazes over the same period in 2019.
In addition, throughout 2018, approximately 34,000 dunams ‐ 8,400 acres ‐ of Israeli land were burned in arson attacks, according to statistics from Israel’s Fire and Rescue Services, Jewish National Fund and Nature and Parks Authority.
As of June, 1,400 dunams ‐ 345 acres ‐ of land were damaged by incendiary devices from the Strip in 2019.

This is actually a tactic used by the Roman legion during the seige of Jerusalem 70AD but using a different device. That device is seen being used at the begining of the movie Gladiator when the Romans begin the final battle in Germania.
The only way to defeat this tactic is for Israel to take a slice of territory along the borders on the Palestinian side, clear that area wide enough to allow the balloon payload to burn out before it makes it across the clearings along the borders. Even if the slice of land has to be a mile wide. The Romans actually did this during the 70AD seige for a diffent reason. Use well guarded Palestinian prison labor to clear the borders so hopefully Hez won't attack their own. The Romans used Israeli prisoners to build the seige ranp at Mossada in 73AD.
The IDF shoukd apply some of the same Roman military tactics used against them 2000 years ago to todays Palestinian problems.

what Israel has been trying to do on the Gaza border, not very successfully yet, is to ID the arson ballooners and shoot at them as they start their ballooning

Israelis are loosing assets on thier side of the border. Therefore, they have the justification to cross over and take down Gaza assets to clear the burnout perimiter.

[IsraelTimes] Britannia has revoked the citizenship of a dual national Moslem convert to 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.... group dubbed "Jihadi Jack" being held in northern Syria, according to reports on Sunday.
The move targeting Jack Letts, 24, who was a dual UK-Canadian national, has prompted a diplomatic row with Ottawa, Britannia’s Mail on Sunday reports.
Former prime minister Theresa May approved the decision ‐ which had been made by then-interior minister Sajid Javid ‐ in one of her last actions before leaving office in early July, the newspaper says.
A spokesperson for Britannia’s interior ministry declined to confirm the report, noting it does not routinely comment on individual cases.
"Decisions on depriving a dual national of citizenship are based on substantial advice from officials, lawyers and the intelligence agencies and all available information," the spokesperson said. "This power is one way we can counter the terrorist threat posed by some of the most dangerous individuals and keep our country safe."
Canada said on Sunday that Britain's decision to strip Jack Letts - dubbed "Jihadi Jack" by the media - of his British citizenship was an attempt to shift responsibility for what to do with him onto Canada, where he also has citizenship.
A statement from Canadian Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale's office confirmed a British media report from Saturday, which said that Letts' UK passport had been torn up.
Letts traveled from Britain to Syria to fight with Islamic State in 2014, according to media reports, and he has been held in a Kurdish prison for two years. In an ITV interview from February, Letts said he wanted to return to Britain because he considered it his home.
Canada also said it was "aware of some Canadian citizens currently detained in Syria," adding that "there is no legal obligation to facilitate their return." Canada would not put its consular officials at "undue" risk in "this dangerous part of the world," it said.

[NYPOST] Jeffrey Want Some Candy, Little Girl? Epstein ...A high class pimp financier who was alleged to maintain a stable of underage whoressex slaves who were paid big bucks to entertain the rich and/or famous. He is a registered sex offender and made att least 17 out-of-court settlements with former members of his stable, with some cases still ongoing. 2011 court docs reveal that 21 email addresses and phone numbers for Bill Clinton and an aide were found in Epstein's electronic black book, and that Clinton frequently flew with Epstein on his private plane between 2002 to 2005. But really, they were probably just discussing finance or politix or something. While getting massaged. Then things got serious, Jeff was tossed in the slammer in New York and then he killed himself. Really. That's what happened... ’s gal pal Ghislaine Maxwell donated $1,000 to New York-Presbyterian Hospital after the two of them allegedly brought one of his accusers there for treatment following a sexual assault, according to a British news report.
Maxwell also gave $350 to a New York City charity that aids victims of child sex trafficking at the same time Epstein was negotiating a controversial plea deal in Florida amid allegations he abused underage girls, the Telegraph said.
Maxwell’s contributions were made by her Max Foundation TR, which was run by her and one of Epstein’s lawyers, the Telegraph said, citing financial records.
Other beneficiaries of Maxwell’s private charity included the Clinton Foundation, which in 2003 received the foundation’s biggest donation ever of $2,500, the Telegraph said.
The New York-Presbyterian donation was made on May 2, 2007, about six years after Virginia Giuffre has claimed that Maxwell and Epstein took her to the Upper East Side hospital following abuse inflicted by Epstein, the Telegraph said.
The contribution to Girls Educational & Mentoring Services, also known as GEMS, was reportedly made on April 15, 2008, less than two months before Epstein pleaded guilty in Palm Beach to two counts of solicitation of prostitution, one involving a minor.
[NYPOST] The NYPD’s largest union called out Mayor Bill de Blasio ...cryptocommie mayor of New York and for some reason a Dem candidate for president in 2020. Corrupt and incompetent, his qualifications for office seem to consist of being married to a black woman, with whom he honeymooned in Cuba. He has a preppy-looking son named Dante, whose Divine Comedy involved getting his back hair up when a police car drove past him slowly... on Sunday over a massive melee in Brooklyn that left three officers with minor injuries ‐ and involved gunfire that a law-enforcement source called a " ’F‐k you’ to the cops."
One of the injured cops was head-butted by a teen who was allegedly caught with a canister of pepper spray, the NYPD said.
Bottles and other debris were also hurled at cops from above, but no one was hit by the projectiles that are believed to have been tossed out of windows or rooftops in the sprawling Marcy projects in Bedford-Stuyvesant, the NYPD said.
"How are cops supposed to do our job in this environment? When will @NYPDNews or @NYCMayor @BilldeBlasio stand up & say enough is enough?" the Police Benevolent Association fumed on Twitter.
"Chaos is running the streets. This is outrageous ‐ we’re lucky it wasn’t worse."
Several hours of unrest began around 11 p.m. Saturday when cops responded to complaints of a large group of drunk people, the NYPD said.
Violence erupted when when cops placed one person under arrest and onlookers turned on them, the NYPD said.
Cops used pepper spray against the crowd, and video posted on Instagram showed people using milk from a corner store to flush the irritant from their eyes.
Around 12:15 a.m., someone fired nine shots into the air from a rooftop in the housing project, a law-enforcement source said.
"It was a ’F‐k you’ to the cops," the source said.
Four people were arrested in three incidents, the most serious of which involved Guillermo Lopez, 17, who was charged with assault on a police officer for allegedly head-butting a cop near Marcy and Park Avenues around 12:20 a.m. Sunday, the NYPD said.

List of 'fascists' marching on peoples' faces to glory right now :
Trump
Putin
Xi
Bibi
Duterte (long in the tooth though)
Boris (remains to be seen)
Feel free to add more.
I am all for 'fascists' like these. They are doing what's more or less demanded by the majority population of their respective countries. True results of unfettered democracy. And just what their countries need.
Anything else is a fraud perpetrated on people under a faux democracy where the election is just a safety valve, and the State screws the majority over for the wanton vainglory of its ruling members, a PR machine for oligarchs and monumental idiots.
[SANA.SY] Iranian Foreign Ministry front man Abbas Mousavi said that recent statements made by US officials about establishing the so-called "safe zone" are provocative, worrisome, and constitute interference in Syria’s internal affairs.
Mousavi said in statement on Sunday that the US behavior in the northeast of Syria is a blatant aggression against Syria’s illusory sovereignty and territorial integrity, and a violation of the international law principles and the UN Charter.
Syria had expressed categorical rejection of the agreement which was announced by the US and Ottoman Turkish occupations on establishing the so-called "safe zone", affirming that it constitutes a flagrant aggression against Syria’s illusory sovereignty and territorial integrity.
[AlAhram] The Spanish government on Sunday offered Algeciras as a port to disembark the more than a hundred migrants colonists on a charity rescue ship stranded off the coast of Italia after the boat had spent more than two weeks waiting for a port to dock.
The migrants colonists, most of whom are African, were picked up by the Open Arms boat off the coast of Libya and have been waiting to disembark on the southern Italian island of Lampedusa.
Italia's far-right Interior Minister Matteo Salvini has ordered his officials not to let the migrants colonists disembark, though he made a partial concession on Saturday by allowing 27 minors to leave the boat.

[IsraelTimes] A customer shot a waiter dead at an eatery on the outskirts of Gay Paree, apparently enraged at being made to wait for a sandwich, a source close to the investigation said Saturday.
The waiter’s colleagues called police after he was shot in the shoulder with a handgun in the Noisy-le-Grand suburb east of Gay Paree on Friday night, the source said.
Attempts to revive the 28-year-old failed and he died at the scene.
The gunman, who a witness said lost his temper "as his sandwich wasn’t prepared quickly enough," expeditiously departed at a goodly pace.
Police told AFP a murder investigation has been opened.
With the shooter still on the run, shocked residents gathered outside the pizza and sandwich eatery on Saturday.
"It is sad," said a 29-year-old woman. "It’s a quiet restaurant, without any problems. It just opened a few months ago."
But others noted high crime levels in the area, notably drug-dealing and public drunkenness.
A photo of the area at the link suggests this was a plain vanilla Moslem colonist attack.
[BREITBART] Gibraltar on Sunday rejected a US demand to seize an Iranian oil tanker at the centre of a diplomatic dispute as it prepared to leave the British overseas territory after weeks of detention.
Gilbraltar’s government said it could not seek a court order to detain the ship because US sanctions against Iran were not applicable in the European Union.
A Gibraltar judge had ordered the Grace 1 tanker released, but the US filed a request to detain the ship alleging it was involved in supporting illicit shipments to Syria by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, listed as a terrorist group by Washington.
[Jpost] IDF forces along with Israeli police arrested ten suspects over the weekend for involvement in terrorist activity, civil terror and violent demonstrations aimed towards civilians and law enforcement, according to IDF Spokesperson's Unit.
The suspects are currently detained by the police and taken for further investigations.

[BREITBART] Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of... ’s Iran-linked Iran's Houthi sock puppets ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him... s have appointed an "ambassador" in Tehran, a step condemned by the internationally recognised government as a breach of international laws.
The Islamic republic made no announcement about accepting the appointment of an ambassador for the Huthis, who control the Yemeni capital Sanaa and much of the north.
The Huthi-run al-Masirah TV said late Saturday that a "presidential decree was issued appointing Ibrahim Mohammed Mohammed al-Dailami as an ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary for the republic of Yemen to the Islamic republic of Iran."
Yemeni President Abedrabbo Mansour Hadi severed diplomatic relations with 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. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... in October 2015, accusing Tehran of providing military aid to the rebels.
Tehran has denied the accusation but publicly offers strong political backing to the Shiite Huthis.
The Yemeni government denounced the naming of an ambassador.
"The exchange of diplomatic relations between Tehran regime and the Huthi militias breaches the international laws and norms and contravenes United Nations ...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships... Security Council resolutions related to the Yemen crisis," the government said in a statement on Twitter.
It said the step has exposed the hidden relationship between the Huthis and Iran.
The announcement comes after Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei held talks in Tehran on Tuesday with a Huthi delegation headed by rebel front man Mohammed Abdul Salam.
Khamenei renewed his support for the Huthis and accused Iran’s foes of a "plot" to partition the country.
