[PJ] Darrell Brooks, Jr. wants America to know that he feels "dehumanized" after deliberately plowing his car into a Christmas parade in Waukesha, Wisc., killing six and wounding 62. The left-wing terrorist made a brief appearance with Fox News reporters in a video chat.
"I just feel like I’m being monster — demonized," Brooks, 39, said. The left-wing terrorist expressed no remorse during the short interview.

You were dehumanized long before the event when the Left decided to throw out civilization and the process of civilizing. You are just another product of their hate, animus, and bigotry. Your record of feral behavior clearly shows that.

So now this POS is going play the victim card. Hopefully he gets stomped to death long before the trial starts.

He would create an interesting problem for his bruthas in the joint. Do they protect him from non-black inmates (organized or not) to "represent," or do they leave him to fend for himself?

[KhaamaPress] The US and the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan have concluded their two-day talks in the Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi... i capital Doha as the US has still its sanctions on the Taliban ...Arabic for students... in place and Afghanistan is going through probably the biggest humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan.
Afghanistan’s delegation was led by the acting foreign minister Amir Khan Motaqi while US special representative for Afghanistan Thomas West was leading the American delegation.
Both sides talked over humanitarian issues, ensuring safe passage to foreigners and Afghans by the Taliban, and counterterrorism while the Taliban officials asked their US counterparts in Doha to unfreeze Afghanistan’s reserves.
Spokesperson of Afghanistan foreign ministry Abdul Qahar Balkhi in a Twitter post asked the US to unconditionally release over $9.5 billion, remove the Taliban leaders from the blacklist, and disconnect humanitarian issues from political.
The special representative Thomas West pledged to be supporting the UN’s and other humanitarian groups’ efforts in Afghanistan and acknowledged that the US is committed to ensuring the US sanctions do not limit the Afghans’ ability to receive humanitarian aids.
In the meantime, the US is still steadfast on its sanctions on the Taliban leaders and the frozen reserves of Afghanistan.
The US has also appreciated the move of the Taliban over reopening schools for girls but asked the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan to take action in this regard and ensure the human rights ...which are usually open to widely divergent definitions... and rights of minorities.
The talks have been welcomed by the people of Afghanistan as they are hopeful about the engagement of the US with Afghanistan that will lead to recognition and ultimately the release of Afghanistan’s assets.
UNAMA hands Afghanistan’s central bank $16 M in cash
[KhaamaPress] Afghanistan’s Central Bank- De Afghanistan Bank- in a statement said that they received $16 million in cash, part of the humanitarian aids to Afghanistan.
The statement that was released on Thursday, December 02 reads that the fund was given by United Nations Assistant Mission in Afghanistan (UNAAM.)
This is the first time that the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan is receiving aids from abroad as the countries and international aid agencies have been saying that they will not provide direct aid to the Taliban.
World Bank to unfreeze $280M of Afghanistan’s reserves
[KhaamaPress] The World Bank’s Board has decided to release $280 million of Afghanistan’s frozen fund to help tackle the country’s deepening humanitarian crisis.
The World Bank is intended to be transferring the money to two aid agencies-World Food Program (WFP) and UNICEF, told a familiar source to the matter.
The sources have told Reuters that, the 31 donors to the World Bank-administered Afghanistan Reconstruction Trust Fund (ARTF) must approve the transfer before the money flow to the two aid agencies.
The donors are reportedly expected to be meeting on Friday, December 2.
World Bank conducted an informal meeting on Tuesday to consider releasing $500 million of the $1.5 billion funds aided in the ARTF to humanitarian aid agencies.
The White House and Treasury Department have not immediately commented on the issue but the department has previously confirmed that banks can conduct money transactions for humanitarian purposes to Afghanistan.
Analysts say that the money can definitely help tackle Afghanistan’s crisis up to some certain point but say the big question is how to transfer the fund into Afghanistan as financial agencies are afraid of US sanctions.
16 countries pledge to provide Afghans with humanitarian aids
[KhaamaPress] Afghanistan Ministry of Foreign Affairs has said that an Afghan delegation led by the acting foreign minister Amir Khan Motaqi met with representatives and ambassadors of 16 countries on Wednesday, December 1 in Doha.
The countries include Germany, Canada, Finland, New Zealand, Italy, South Korea, EU, Spain, US, Norway, Sweden, Netherland, Australia, England, and Japan.
The meeting comes a day after the Afghan delegation conducted two-day talks with the US delegation led by the special envoy Thomas West.
Officials of the ministry said that the consignment weighs 36 tons that includes flour, sugar, and tea.
Russia’s deputy ambassador based in Kabul said that another tranche of humanitarian assistance weighing 36 tons will arrive in Kabul soon.
The country’s first shipment of relief assistance that weighed 36 tons had arrived in Kabul over two weeks ago.
Russia has pledged to be providing the people of Afghanistan with 108 tons of humanitarian aid.
It comes as Russian President Vladimir Putin has recently called on the West especially on the US to release over $9.5 billion of Afghanistan’s reserves to help address the deepening humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan.
UN Seeks $4.5B to Assist Vulnerable Afghans
[ToloNws] The United Nations is seeking to triple its Afghanistan-focused programs in light of the “various needs and circumstances" of the country.
The UN organization stated it is seeking $4.5 billion to help vulnerable people around the world in 2022, and cited the crisis in Afghanistan as an example of the need.
“We never left Afghanistan and we are there now with a projected programme for 2022 three times, three times the size of the program for 2021 because of the various needs and circumstances that you know so well,” said Martin Griffiths, Under Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator.

[EN.ALGHADEERTV.NET] Sudanese Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok will quit if a political agreement he signed with the military last week is not implemented or fails to receive backing from political factions, a source close to him said on Wednesday.
Hamdok was released from house arrest and restored to his job under thedeal reached on Nov. 21, four weeks after he was removedin a military takeover.
The takeover ended a 2019 power-sharing agreement between the military and political groups involved in toppling former leader Omar al-Bashir. Those groups have rejected the agreement, as have resistance committees that have organised a campaign of protests.
The latest of those protests, on Tuesday, drew tens of thousands of people to central Khartoum under the slogan “No partnership, no negotiation, no compromise”.
Further protests are planned for December on key anniversaries from the 2018 start of protests against Bashir.
Opponents say the post-coup agreement favours the military by leaving the army chief in charge of a body, the Sovereign Council, that was meant to pass to civilian control.
The agreement lets Hamdok appoint a new technocratic cabinet, and calls for the release of political detainees and investigations into crackdowns on protests in which medics say 43 people died.
Hamdok has said he signed the agreement to stop the bloodshed and preserve much-needed international financial support.
On Wednesday Hamdok issued a decree replacing most of a group of caretaker deputy ministers that had been installed by the military after the coup. The decree did not include the finance, federal rule, and information ministries.
The Central Committee of Sudanese Doctors said on Wednesday 98 people had been injured the previous day, mainly from tear gas canisters and stun grenades. The group, which is aligned with the protest movement, also said that doctors had noticed stronger reactions to the tear gas used on the day.
State television quoted police as saying there were some cases of choking from tear gas and injuries due to crowding, and that 44 people had been arrested.
Most high-profile politicians held after the coup have been released, although lawyers say many protesters are still detained.

[AlAhram] Top European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... migration officials offered Wednesday to ease asylum rules for Poland, Lithuania and Latvia in response to what the EU says is a "hybrid attack'' by Belarus to destabilize the bloc using migrants colonists.
The move would make it harder for migrants colonists to enter the 27-nation bloc from Belarus, angering nongovernmental organizations.
Around 8,000 people, many from Iraq, have crossed into the three EU countries since the beginning of the year.
President Alexander Lukashenko is accused of luring them to Belarus with the promise of helping them to enter Europa ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... in Dire Revenge for EU sanctions against his government and companies.
For six months, Poland, Lithuania and Latvia will be able extend the period for registering asylum applications from three to 10 days to up to four weeks.
Applications would only be accepted at dedicated border crossing points.
The processing could be done at the borders, including any right of appeal, but should be done within 16 weeks.
The three countries would also be able to use fast-track national procedures for deporting people whose applications have been refused. People could be held in temporary reception centers.
The proposals to ease the rules made by the EU's executive branch, the European Commission, must be endorsed by the 27 member countries before they can take effect.
EU Home Affairs Commissioner Ylva Johansson said that the number of migrants colonists arriving in the Belarus capital, Minsk have slowed, and that many are being returned to their home countries.
"The inflow of new instrumentalized migrants colonists into Minsk has more or less stopped totally,'' she told news hounds in Brussels. She played down concerns that it amounts to a crisis.
"The numbers are not high. This is not primarily a migration crisis. It's a hybrid threat.''
Human rights group Oxfam said the proposals go against the values the EU says it stands for.
"Stopping, detaining and criminalizing people trying to find safety in Europe breaks international and European asylum law.
Supporting the detention of migrants colonists at EU borders puts politics over peoples' lives.'' said Erin McKay, Oxfam's European Migration Campaign Manager.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] NY mom-of-three reveals why she's risking seven-year sentence at trial rather than taking a plea for mowing down 50 BLM protesters when they mobbed her car
Kathleen Casillo, 53, told DailyMail.com she feared for her daughter's life when she floored her black BMW sedan into a group of protesters last year
She had been going Christmas shopping with her then 29-year-old daughter, Dominique, when she says a group of protesters started banging on her car and breaking her daughter's window
She claimed she feared the protesters were going to pull her daughter out of the car, and hit the gas, slamming into a group of 50 Black Lives Matter protesters and injuring nine last December
In the aftermath, she was issued a desk appearance ticket and was released only hours after her arrest
She was later charged with reckless assault in the third degree on February 22
Casillo has since been branded as a racist, her family says, a narrative that she denies, claiming she doesn't even know the races of the people she hit
She has since been getting death threats, her family claims, and had to have a police presence outside her Howard Beach, Queens home for a week afterwards
Dominique says she now has PTSD and is seeing a therapist
On Wednesday, Casillo was seen being escorted into the Manhattan Criminal Court as protesters outside compared her to Kyle Rittenhouse
She rejected the court's offer for a plea deal, which would have given her six days of community service and one year license suspension, in favor of a trial

...I'm hoping that this lady and her counsel have a solid handle on how a Queens jury would vote. If they do, then a not guilty verdict could go a long way towards convincing people that this sort of thing isn't the cosplay-revolutionary fun that some think it is.
I've said for a while that part of the problem here is that there is little or no risk whatsoever for rioters here in the West. Since 1945 for literally 99.999% of these people, the worst thing they face is a whiff of tear gas or maybe an uncomfortable night or two in jail. If they knew - knew - that there was a better than even chance of not going home completely intact, or at all, peaceful protest might make a sudden comeback.

[HotAir] If you’re not familiar with David Takayoshi Suzuki, he’s a Canadian television presenter who focuses on climate change and other environmental issues. In fact, he’s frequently referred to as the “Godfather of the Canadian environmental movement.” He’s found himself in a bit of hot water, however, following a speech he gave at a rally held by the eco-terrorism group Extinction Rebellion. During his presentation, Suzuki went much further than simply calling for reductions in carbon emissions and more renewable energy. Unless the group’s demands are met, he declared that there would be “pipelines blown up.” Despite apologizing later for remarks that he said were made “out of extreme frustration,” the group he was addressing seized on his words and then went several steps further. (Energy Indepth)
You might be wondering where groups like Extinction Rebellion get all of the money required to put on such large events and distribute their promotional material. The linked report indicates that they are actually very well funded. They receive millions of dollars in donations from people including Rory Kennedy (daughter of RFK) and Aileen Getty, a descendent of the famous oil tycoon. They have a group of wealthy British millionaires sending them cash across the pond as well.
The Energy In Depth article gives more names in the Canadian branch and some of the English funders in this very international branch of the Black Bloc movement.

Of course, Procopius2k. They’re international terrorists, not only in themselves but as part of the Black Bloc movement that goes back to the Antifa group the Soviet Union created to battle Nazi Brownshirts in German streets.
[An Nahar] Ottoman Turkish President His Enormity, Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First ...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms. That's 968 more than there are in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really most important... appointed a new treasury and finance minister early Thursday after Lutfi Elvan stepped down from the post as the currency has been tumbling to record lows. That'll do it.
Erdogan named Nureddin Nebati, who was deputy minister, to the post, according to an announcement published in the Official Gazette. It said Elvan asked to be "pardoned from the job" and that his request was accepted.
His resignation comes as the Ottoman Turkish lira has been plummeting to successive all-time lows over concerns about the government's economic policy, following a series of cuts in borrowing costs despite soaring inflation. The Ottoman Turkish currency has lost about 40% of its value since the start of the year.
Erdogan strongly argues that high interest rates cause inflation — contrary to conventional economic thinking — and has made clear that the country would press ahead with rate cuts.
The president has dismissed three central bank governors since 2019 over differences on interest rates.
Nebati, 57, has a doctorate in political science and public administration.
"May God make it easy, not difficult. My God, help bring things to a beneficial conclusion. Give us truth in our work, make us successful," Nebati wrote on Twitter after his appointment.
Elvan himself had replaced Erdogan's son-in-law, Berat Albayrak, who resigned last year.

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Background to yesterday’s story in the subject.
Biden was forced to restart on Thursday the Trump-era Remain in Mexico policy
Known officially as the Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP) program, asylum-seekers will now have to return to waiting in Mexico for their cases to be heard
It comes as four GOP senators introduced a bill that would prevent Biden from paying illegal immigrants who were separated from their families under Trump
Bill was proposed by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Senators Thom Tillis, John Cornyn of Texas and Tom Cotton
A warning shot across the Democrats’ bow? It doesn’t seem likely the Republicans could get such a bill through both Houses of Congress with veto-proof majorities, and I haven’t noticed any predictions that the 2022 election will deliver those numbers.
Comes in response to reports that Biden is considering paying each migrant who was separated under Trump $450,000
Biden denied the price tag but defended idea of paying out illegal immigrants
[IsraelTimes] Resolution only referring to holy site by Moslem name still passes overwhelmingly, but tally not as lopsided as 2018 result, which Israeli envoy says is cause for optimism
However, no Arab country voted to oppose or abstain on the resolution, including Israel’s newest allies, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Morocco, which agreed to normalize ties with the Jewish state last year.
Nineteen countries dropped their support for a resolution at the United Nations ...aka the Oyster Bay Chowder and Marching Society... on Wednesday that ignores Jewish ties to the Temple Mount holy site.

[KhaamaPress] The United Nations ...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks... Accreditation Committee did not approve not only the Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... ’s but also the Myanmar Military junta requests for seats at the world body.
The seats for both were delayed for the time being.
The UN committee was convened on Wednesday and delayed the decision over who will represent Afghanistan’s Taliban-led government and the military junta in Myanmar.
The decision means that the representatives of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan and Military Junta will not be allowed to have seats at the 193-member world body for now.
The decision comes hours after the UN nominee of the Taliban Sohail Shaheen in a series of Tweets said the people of Afghanistan have fought for their independence and they have the right to have representatives at the UN.
After the Taliban recapture on August 15, the Taliban are desperate for world recognition as the country is going through the worst humanitarian situation with nearly half of the population starving.
[SHAFAQ] The head of the political body of the Sadrist movement, Ahmed al-Mutairi, disclosed al-Sadr's two conditions to the leaders of the coordination framework to let them participate in the new government.
Al-Mutairi said in a statement that al-Sadr renewed, during his meeting with the leaders of the coordination framework in Hadi al-Amiri's house, his call for a national majority government, the fight against corruption, and holding the corrupt accountable.
Al-Sadr stressed that if the leaders of the framework wish to participate in the government, they must hand over the weapons of al-Hashd al-Shaabi's armed factions and hold the corrupt accountable.
He added, "Al-Sadr assured the attendees that civil peace is a red line for everyone. He also mentioned that the religious authority in Iraq has not met with politicians for a long time, which indicates its dissatisfaction with the political blocs."
Al-Sadr called, according to al-Mutairi, "Let us send a message, love and apology to the religious authority and the people. Let us present a government of a national political majority to save Iraq."

[AlAhram] al-Azhar, the world's leading Sunni Moslem religious institution, condemned the Sunday storming of the sacred Ibrahimi Mosque in the Paleostinian city of al-Khalil (Hebron) by the Israeli president and Jewish settlers, describing it as "a blatant aggressive act" and "an assault on Islamic sanctities."
"Al-Azhar strongly condemns the storming of the Ibrahimi Mosque in the occupied West Bank by the president of the Zionist entity with the aid of security forces from the Zionist enemy army," according to a statement released on Tuesday.
On Sunday, Israeli President Isaac Herzog — accompanied by security forces, Jewish settler leaders, and Knesset members — stormed the mosque to "light a candle" to celebrate the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah.
Photo at the link of a bunch of middle aged civilian politicians calmly lighting a menorah after having walked over — no actual storming involved.
Moslems attach great value to the Ibrahimi Mosque that was built in 1320 AD, as they believe that it was built over the caves containing the tombs of Prophet Abraham and his family.
The Jewish Abraham and his family were buried there somewhat more than two thousand years before the Muslims got around to putting up their mosque, half a century after their prophet Mohammed wandered the earth. This suggests a certain lack if urgency on the part of the Ummah.
According to the Paleostinian WAFA news agency, the Israeli army closed the mosque’s gates and prevented Paleostinian residents from praying or standing nearby. They also closed shops as well as obstructed and assaulted press crews that were trying to document the attack.
"Al-Azhar affirms that these blatant aggressive practices are an assault on Islamic sanctities and a miserable attempt to create a new reality in the occupied Arab Paleostinian lands and will only increase the Paleostinian people’s steadfastness and strength and adherence to their rights, land, and religious sanctities."
Hebron is the largest city in the occupied West Bank with a population of over 215,000 Paleostinians.
Several hundred heavily armed Jewish settlers are concentrated in the centre of the city and regularly attack Paleostinians and storm the mosque.
In 2017, the UNESCO recognised the West Bank’s Hebron as a world heritage site.
The world heritage body’s decision has been hailed by Paleostinian officials as a diplomatic victory against pressure from Israel and the US to derail the vote.
Al-Azhar called on the international community and all governments worldwide to assume their responsibilities to put an end to such violations and provocations and to respect the feelings of nearly two billion Moslems around the world.
On Tuesday, the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) also condemned the storming, describing it as part of a plan to take control of the city.
The OIC said the storming of the mosque is "a provocation of Moslems’ sensibilities and a continuation of Israeli aggression against the Paleostinian people’s rights, land, and holy sites."
[JPost] "Never" Not a lot of leeway there. The intelligence chief's comments were made at an award ceremony for 12 Mossad agents that received certificates of excellence.
"Iran will never have a nuclear weapon, not in the coming years, not ever, that's my commitment, that's the commitment of the Mossad," Mossad chief David Barnea said on Thursday at an award ceremony, in reference to nuclear deal talks between Iran and other world powers in Vienna.
"It's clear that there is no need for 60% purified uranium for civilian purposes, there is no need for three sites with thousands of centrifuges active unless there is the intention to develop nuclear weapons," said Barnea.
"The agreement is terrible, I hope it doesn't come to this, it's barely tolerable," Barnea criticized the Iran Deal and attempts to reinstate it. "Iran strives for regional hegemony, operates the same terrorists that we're tackling every day worldwide, and continuously threatens the stability of the Middle East. Therefore our eyes are wide open, we're ready, and we'll act with our colleagues in the defense establishment to do what is needed to distance the threat to the State of Israel, and thwart it in any way."
The intelligence chief's comments were made at an award ceremony for 12 Mossad agents that received certificates of excellence. Four agents were field operators, four cyber operatives and four staff.
Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett stressed that Iran is conducting "nuclear blackmail" as a negotiation tactic and called on world powers to immediately halt the talks and take strict steps against Iran.

[An Nahar] Hizbullah ...Party of God, a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran. Hizbullah refers to itself as The Resistance and purports to defend Leb against Israel, with whom it has started and lost one disastrous war to date, though it did claim victory... and the Amal Movement refuse to put behind their backs the reasons that led to their boycott of Cabinet sessions, sources from the two parties said."The exit is present in a number of solution ideas that had been proposed by Parliament Speaker Nabih Knobby Berri ...Speaker of the Lebanese parliament, head of the Amal Shiite party aligned with Hezbollah, a not very subtle sock puppet of the Medes and Persians... , before he reiterated them in his talks with Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi, who agreed to them and endorsed them," the sources told al-Joumhouria newspaper in remarks published Thursday.
The sources stressed that the proposed solutions "do not aim to topple (Beirut port blast investigator) Judge (Tarek) Bitar, despite the major reservations over his performance and over his failure to abide by the legal and constitutional norms."
They rather seek to "separate between the judicial investigation into the port blast and the trial of presidents and ministers, while the investigative judge would remain in his position, practicing his jurisdiction over matters that concern him," the sources added.
The sources also noted that "this proposal, which would have resolved the problem of Cabinet sessions’ interruption, had been accepted by all parties, before being suddenly halted for unknown reasons."
Moreover, the sources emphasized that Hizbullah and Amal "will never accept being subject to selectivity, politicization or premeditated injustice."
"This is a red line to us, which must be known by those playing with us this dangerous game," the sources warned.
They added: "We are keen on the judiciary more than its own officials and we, more than anyone else, want the unveiling of the full truth of the Beirut port explosion, not the concealment of this truth."

"We are working to avoid the crisis resulting from the strike of the workers of waste collection companies, seeing as there is a problem in the contracts between the firms and CDR, and we discussed means to resolve it," Yassine said after the meeting.
"We are trying to facilitate the companies’ contracts with CDR and to introduce amendments taking into consideration the current (financial) inflation," the minister added, noting that he will follow up on the issue with the Interior Minister in order to "avoid a crisis on the streets."
