Car Bomb Targets Army Unit in Balkh, Four Dead
[ToloNews] At least four people, including one security forces member, were killed on Tuesday in a boom-mobile explosion that targeted a compound of Afghan commandos in the northern province of Balkh.

A small truck loaded with explosives exploded in Balkh district, almost 20 kilometers northwest of Mazar-e-Sharif city, the center of Balkh province.

Houses near the Afghan National Army’s commando unit headquarters were heavily damaged in the earth-shattering kaboom and officials said that over 30 people were maimed, including six security force members.

The toll of civilian casualties is currently three dead and 24 maimed, officials said.

Earlier, sources at Abu Ali Sina Hospital in Balkh said they received three bodies and 26 maimed after the earth-shattering kaboom.

In another report, the Afghan army’s 209 Shaheen Corps confirmed the death of one soldier and said six others were maimed in the earth-shattering kaboom.

Balkh hosts a large government security presence--the 209 Shaheen Corps--which came under a complex attack in 2017. The attack left over 100 dead.

The Balkh unit attack comes amid the ongoing efforts of the Afghan government to start the intra-Afghan negotiations that have faced multiple delays over differences on the release of the Taliban

Baghlan Clashes Lead to Power Outage
[KhaamaPress] The Afghanistan Breshna Sherkat announced the imported 220 KW power line in Chishme Shir area of Baghlan is cut off, due to security concerns.

The company stated in a post Monday night, imported power line from Tajikistan is affected by ongoing war in the region.

According to Breshna, the company’s technical teams are trying to reconnect the affected lines, as the security situation has improved.

This, however, is not the first time local residents suffer long term blackouts, as battles between Afghan cops intensified against the oppositions.

Baghlan is the most affected area in terms of power shortage, reports suggested.

Africa Horn
US airstrike kills terrorist while targeting senior leader in Somalia
[American Military News] A U.S. airstrike has killed a member of the Al Shabaab terror group, the U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) has said Tuesday.

In a press statement provided to American Military News, AFRICOM said a U.S. airstrike targeting a senior leader of Al Shabaab resulted in at least one terrorist killed. It was not immediately clear if the terrorist killed was the senior Al Shabaab leader or another member of the militant group, which is based out of Somalia.

Asked for clarity about the identity of the terrorist killed, an AFRICOM spokesman said "He was a member of Al Shabaab ‐ we are not able to release any additional information at this time."

The U.S., working in coordination with the Federal Government of Somalia, launched the airstrike in the vicinity of Saakow, Somalia on Tuesday.

Fifth Column
Two Dead in Multiple Overnight Shootings Amid Kenosha Antifa and BLM Riots
PJ Media
Three people were shot overnight in Kenosha, Wisc., after violence erupted during the third straight night of rioting and looting in response to the police shooting of Jacob Blake. Two of those shot have died, according to the City of Kenosha Police Department, and a third was transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

...Earlier in the day police had ordered an 8 p.m. curfew.

Shots could be heard ringing out shortly after midnight local time.

Drew Hernandez captured the video of the aftermath of the shooting.



Antifa and BLM comrades tended to the man who had been shot, yelling, "Call the police, call the police!"

...Julio Rosas of our sister site Townhall captured video of what appears to be the second shooting. Rifle shots could be heard ringing out.

Rosas wrote,
    "Multiple gunshots are fired after people chased a guy with a rifle. Rifle dude tripped and fell. He fired his gun at a guy who jumped on top of him.

    Here’s video of the man’s wounds, I recorded him being shot in Kenosha. His right arm is badly damaged.

...Elijah Schaffer, who has been covering the antifa and BLM riots around the country, reports from the scene that someone defending the property did the shooting.

#7  I watched the riots live on a YouTube stream last night. The rioters had the entire law enforcement prrsonel and as many as 6 bear cats occupied at the courthouse trying to protect it from a large mob intent on looting and burning the facility. The videographer said he went the mob and learned that 80% of them were from out of town.

This was to tie up the police and national guard so that the more violent elements could be free to burn other pre-determined business targets in the town, as you can hear other rioters converging on those targets saying we are headed over to this location now.

This means the only local defensive elements left to guard the targets were individual citizens about to be swarmed.

This is a highly, well coordinated domestic, violent, militant effort.

Who is in charge of these mobs on the national level?

#14  Traditionally law enforcement in America has relied on mostly honest populace who trust the system to usually deliver justice for everyone. That paradigm is rapidly breaking down. As it does, there won’t be enough cops to keep the lid on and self defense and vigilantes will become more the norm. Political expediency increasingly overrides the truth. It took 90 days but the coroner ruled George Floyd had fatal level of fentanyl poisoning so the death by asphyxiation should change the charges significantly. Odds on that being reported on CNN?

Rioters tried to burn Seattle police alive, sealed door during fire at East Precinct
[KTTH] Seattle rioters used a substance suspected to be quick-dry concrete to seal shut the door to the East Precinct, the Seattle Police Department has confirmed. At the same time, the rioter attempted to set fire to the building. Photos reviewed by the Jason Rantz Show show the concrete mix and tools used.

Now, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) is working with the Seattle Police Department on this investigation.

Rioters assaulted Seattle’s East Precinct on Monday night. This marked another night of violent, criminal activism against police officers unconnected to anger over a recent police shooting in Wisconsin.

CRIMINALS TRIED TO MURDER SEATTLE POLICE
As some in the crowd vandalized the building and tormented police, others brought quick dry cement to seal police officers inside the building.

The criminals at the 12th street entrance reportedly mixed what is suspected to be cement mix and water in a bucket with a wooden stick before applying it to the door. Photos show the criminals also destroyed the electronic key card off the door, presumably to stop people from getting inside the building.

On the East Pine Street side of the East Precinct, the criminals started a fire. The intent appeared to be to burn the building with the officers inside.

A source tells me the officers inside had to kick the door open to exit the building and disperse the rioters. Luckily, already lacking discernible skills, the rioters did not follow directions and may have used too much water in the cement mixture. Photos indicate it too runny to fully seal the doorway shut.

One officer was injured and one suspect was arrested.

POLICE UNION WEIGHS IN AGAINST ‘DOMESTIC TERRORISTS’
Seattle Police Officers Guild president Mike Solan is condemning the crime, along with the lack of response from city leaders.

“It’s clear that domestic terrorists are continuing to hold our great city hostage by their criminal acts,” Solan tells the Jason Rantz Show on KTTH. “We’re talking about a little over 100 people who continue to force their political agenda to push assaults on officers, destroy private and public property, to continue their dangerous ideology. What’s next has been seen before and I’m fearful that someone will lose their life in the coming days. This could all stop if our public officials would decry and push back against these criminal acts.”

#10  Use of deadly force in response to this kind of attack would seem to be appropriate. If they're gonna riot anyway and the district attorney is gonna release them anyway, justice might need a quicker delivery method.
Posted by: Abu Uluque || 08/26/2020 12:13 Comments || Top||

#11  Executive Order: (1) If you are are arrested as part of the insurrection, any facility that employees you will lose any and all Federal money. (2) Crimes during this insurrection cannot be released without bail and bail will start at 1 million dollars. That'll tie up funding quickly.

Might not work but it's worth a try.

Kenosha Residents Fire Warning Shots as Rioters Threaten Neighborhoods (video)
[Breitbart] On Monday night, rioters in Kenosha, Wisconsin spread their civil unrest from primarily urban and commercial centers, to residential areas.

And the residents in those areas were having none of it.

Shortly after midnight, a group of demonstrators got in their cars and traveled to a residential neighborhood where they parked in a grassy area across from a row of houses. As they began exiting their vehicles, a homeowner emerged from his house and began firing warning shots at the rioters.

Kenosha roundup: Wisconsin declares state of emergency amid protests over police shooting of Jacob Blake
[PUBLISH.TWITTER]



BLM rioters wielding AR-15s CORNER armored Kenosha police truck and force it to RETREAT as heavily armed civilians take to the streets to protect their livelihoods while city braces for third night of rioting after Jacob Blake was shot by cops
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Heavily armed civilians have been filmed patrolling outside businesses in Kenosha after arsonists set buildings alight, torching much of the black business district Monday.

In footage taken by a local news hound, a small group of men can be seen carrying rifles and wearing combat gear as they protect local shops. They deny they are part of a militia.

The Wisconsin city became the nation's latest flashpoint in a summer of racial unrest after police shot unarmed black man Jacob Blake, 29, in the back Sunday.

The shooting occurred three months after the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis sparked nationwide protests against police brutality and racism.

One of the gunnies in the footage taken Monday night says: 'They're destroying their own neighborhood. It's not the civilians. Go f*** up the government that just killed your man. Don't f*** up your neighbors.

'I'm on your side but you can't burn down your local businesses.'

Another adds: 'We’re out here trying to protect residents, we’re trying to protect the innocent people and we’re trying to protect the businesses of the citizens out here.'

National Guard called out to Kenosha as protesters wreck largely black neighborhood
[NYPOST] The National Guard was called in to quell fiery
...a single two-syllable word carrying connotations of both incoherence and viciousness. A fiery delivery implies an audience of rubes and yokels, preferably forming up into a mob...
riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin — as protesters defied a curfew to loot and destroy a mostly black business area they are supposedly trying to defend following the police shooting of a local black man.Democratic Gov. Tony Evers summoned 125 members of the National Guard Monday after protesters set cars on fire, smashed windows and clashed with officers in riot gear Sunday after the shooting of Jacob Blake.

But that and a dusk-to-dawn curfew did not stop the city from exploding once again on Monday night — with blazes set near the scene of Blake’s shooting as protesters clashed with law enforcement in riot gear.

Videos on social media showed some protesters using baseball bats to systematically smash a line of parked cars. Another clip showed a man calmly lighting a fuse to torch an already smashed-up garbage truck as explosions went off around him.

But a gangsta tried and true,
And as every nattering newsdrone knows, he matters more than you!

#3  Another, possibly a little too dark for the form.

Jacob Blake!
The earth did quake
And Heaven seethe with thunder
As social contract, temple veil, and truth were torn asunder.

#4  Witnesses to Jacob Blake's shooting have said that police used a Taser and wrestled with him prior to the shooting (and prior to the video being streamed 24/7).

But that apparently doesn't matter.

#5  My understanding is that it started with service of a felony warrant. The cops had knowledge of his priors including violence and some kind of weapons charge. They had every right to suspect after he resisted arrest that he might be seeking a weapon in the car. We don't know if there was a weapon there, but if there was reasonable suspicion in the arresting officers mind, lethal force before being shot is a legitimate reaction. It sounds like the officers followed the traditional escalation of force doctrine to the letter in attempting to effect the arrest. Maybe someone in authority should lay that doctrine and the events that occurred out for the media so they get the justification clearly before they go all BLM again.

#6  Pop Corn was one Bad Dude.
Prosecutors in Kenosha County, Wisconsin charged Blake, 29, with third-degree sexual assault, trespassing and disorderly conduct in connection with domestic abuse last month, according to The Kenosha News. An arrest warrant for Blake was issued on July 6.

The newspaper reported that a woman living in the 2800 block of 40th Street told police in May that Blake, her ex-boyfriend, had come into her home and taken her car keys and vehicle. She also said he had touched her sexually without consent.
... Raysean White, the man who filmed the video, said he saw police officers wrestle, punch and user a Taser on Blake moments before he started recording.

"After they punched him in his rib, the female officer Tased him and Jacob kind of leaned on the car and they proceeded to wrestle him toward the back of the car and he went to the other side of the car," he told CNN. "When they were on the other side of the car on the ground, I had to pick up my camera and start recording."

White told the Associated Press that he heard officers shout "Drop the knife! Drop the knife!" before they shot Blake, but said he didn't see one in his hands.

Never underestimate the gen pop's willingness to comply with what they see as the strong horse.

What is yet to be determined is what the majority will perceive as the strong horse.

Antifa/BLM or the so far invisible "right wing extremists" and the equally scarce "duly constituted authorities".

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Man killed in suspected terror attack in central Israel
[Ynet] Medical officials say they found a 35-year-old Haredi man with stab wounds to his upper body at Segula Junction in the city of Petah Tikva; a Palestinian suspect with a work permit, was arrested following a manhunt and transferred to the Shin Bet.

A citizen who was walking nearby saw the incident, shouted "terrorist" and started chasing after the Palestinian. He grabbed the suspect and waited for police to arrive.

The suspect is a resident of Nablus in the West Bank, he is married and a father of six. He does not appear to belong to any Palestinian terror groups.

Israeli aircraft strike Hezbollah observation posts after shots fired at troops

...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers...
