[Breitbart] A group of migrants called an Arizona TV station and sent video documenting where they asked for help. They claim to have spent more than four hours wandering the desert looking for U.S. authorities. Federal officials reportedly told the migrants they could not take them in because their shelters were full.
“We have been walking for three or four hours,” one female migrant said in a video they sent to Univision 23. “We are in the middle of nowhere, we are a group of Cubans and Venezuelans.”
Another woman said in the video the group left Mexicali, Baja California, hours before and wandered the desert looking for Border Patrol. The group appears to have been made up primarily of women and children.
“We don’t have food, we don’t have water,” a middle-aged woman says in the video. “We are close to a highway — we are going to try to go there because we have young children, no one is coming, no patrols, no police and we have to go somewhere to ask for help.”
Toward the end of the video, a Venezuelan man says Border Patrol did arrive and provided them with food and water but told them that they were on their own because the shelters “were collapsed” and they could not take them in.
It is unclear in the video if authorities processed and released the migrants or if they simply allowed them to continue on foot.

This condition will likely last until elections are held. The possibility that Haftar or Seif al-Qadafi will win the election will surely lead to civil war. Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, second eldest son of the former ruler, was promising both politically and intellectually. He was captured by militiamen from Zintan in the country’s southwest, and only released in 2017. The International Criminal Court wants him extradited to try him for crimes against humanity, but there is no chance of that. In 2015, the Libyan Dawn militia, the military arm of the Muslim Brotherhood’s parliament in Tripoli, put him on trial, sentenced him to death, but failed to secure him. Western media does not like to admit it, but Seif is indeed popular and just might win the election.
Two staff members of the International Committee of the #RedCross abducted last month in eastern Democratic Republic of #Congo have been freed, says the humanitarian organization.https://t.co/tfgldtoOID
Two staff members of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) abducted last month in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo have been freed, the humanitarian organization said on Saturday.
The ICRC said in late November that one Congolese citizen and an international staff member had been kidnapped in North Kivu province, where dozens of armed militias operate.
The United Nations and humanitarian organizations have warned about an increase in attacks on aid workers in eastern Congo. Three employees of the UN refugee agency were injured on Wednesday in North Kivu when their vehicle came under fire.

[Fuerzas Armadas Mexicanas - Facebook] Two Mexican military men were in combat and four others were shot to death in a confrontations with the army in Tamaulipas, according to a Facebook announcement.
On Saturday in Nuevo Laredo, soldiers were on patrol when that a man fired on them at the intersection of calles Octavio Sosa and Jose Maria Serratos.
Military return fire killed the shooter. Two solders were killed in the exchange of gunfire.
Another army reinforcing element arrived at the scene. Three more shooters were shot to death.

Anti-Mass Migration Activist Claims Migrant Sexually Assaulted Her in Her Home
[Breitbart] Anti-mass migration activist and former spokeswoman for the group Generation Identitaire Thaïs d’Escufon has reported that a North African man broke into her home and sexually assaulted her. Ms d’Escufon stated that a North African man claiming to be Tunisian followed her home, taking advantage of the fact she was wearing earphones at the time to tack her unnoticed.
According to d’Escufon, the man told her, after assaulting her, that "I know that in La Belle France, you think that all Arabs are evil, I am not like that, I swear before God."
What did he intend to accomplish by that statement?
He then picked up all his cigarette butts in order not to leave any traces of himself at her apartment.
Despite the French government dissolving Generation Identitaire earlier this year over hate allegations, Ms d’Escufon remains a social media influencer in La Belle France as well as an activist.
Sexual violence and sexual assault remain a major problem in parts of La Belle France, with a 2020 report claiming that in 2019 sexual violence had risen 12 per cent compared to the prior year.
"All French regions have experienced increases in the number of rapes, assaults, and sexual harassment recorded by the security forces in 2019, notably Corsica, Centre-Val-de-Loire, Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes, and Nouvelle-Aquitaine," the French Interior Ministry statistics service SSMI stated.
As early as 2017, tech entrepreneurs launched an app in Gay Paree warning users if they were in a "no-go" area and if they were at risk of being sexually assaulted.
Spanish Birthrate Declined over Five Per Cent During 2020 Pandemic Year
[Breitbart] The number of children per woman, according to El Mundo, now sits at just 1.19, down from 1.24 in 2019 — one of the lowest annual birth rates in Spain since the 1990s, with statistics from the World Bank showing the country has been below the 2.1 replacement rate since 1980.
The figures further Spain’s existing demographic issues which have seen the population’s average age reach 43.9 years, the 19th-highest average age in the world according to Central Intelligence agency (CIA) statistics.
In 2019, former Spanish foreign minister Josep Borrell — now High Representative of the European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... for Foreign Affairs and Vice-President of the European Commission — stated that migrants colonists may be the answer to Spain’s ongoing demographic crisis, arguing that the country needed "new blood".
Spain is not the only European country to deal with rapid demographic changes and low birth rates. In Italia, populist Senator Matteo Salvini recently rejected the idea of using mass migration to solve the problem, saying that his country should enact pro-family policies instead.
"My objective is to give economic serenity to Italians to encourage them to have children," Salvini said last month and added, "I refuse to think of substituting ten million Italians with ten million migrants colonists.”
The large explosion is thought to have taken place around 1 a.m. along Stora Nygatan street and damaged several shops and restaurants nearby. So far, according to spokesman Norling, the police have no suspects in the case, but they are treating the incident as a crime.
The suspected bombing comes just three months after an explosion in Gothenburg left one woman dead and 23 people injured. The main suspect in the case, a 55-year-old who was in the process of being evicted by the owner of the building, was later found dead by police in a body of water just over a week after the explosion.
In March of this year, another explosion in Höganäs in Skåne County saw 40 apartments damaged, with the blast thought to have taken place in the stairwell of an apartment building. Police described the stairwell as having been “blown out”.
Last year, despite the Wuhan virus pandemic, the city of Stockholm saw a record number of explosions.

Yes indeed, Merrick. But in the meantime, Mademoiselle d’Escufon needs to stop running around the neighbourhood wearing earphones and starting working on situational awareness. And as an influencer, to share that advice with all who listen to her.
For anyone wanting to track this kind of thing themselves, Gates of Vienna has some overlap with what we collect here, as does The Religion of Peace, links I’ve saved for when I have more time and energy. Breitbart key words Europe migrant crisis, immigration, and jihad, and Daily Mail key words immigration and ISIS capture most of their stories without needing to scroll through all the hay to find the interesting needles.
79.4% of Spain's adult population has been vaccinated with two doses or more. The birthrate in Spain declined by nearly 10 per cent because the Covid-19 pandemic.
Wondering out loud if the 2 are connected and if the 2020-21 Still Birth & Miscarriage numbers seen in Canada, match other countries?

[DW] Increasing numbers of migrants colonists attempt to cross into La Belle France over the mountains, but this route can be dangerous. Refuges have been opened, and closed, as authorities and volunteers differ over how best to accommodate those who have arrived.
Jean Gabriel is a mountain man. He has walked the mountains of the world, and now tries to make sure that the migrants colonists who walk his mountains arrive safely in La Belle France and are well looked after.
For those migrants colonists who do make it over the border, a refuge in Briancon awaits. Some migrants colonists stop a few days or weeks here before continuing their journey on to other parts of La Belle France, the United Kingdom, or elsewhere in Europa ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... — migrants colonists like university student Ayoub from Morocco, who hopes that he can make his parents proud in Europe and one day have a family of his own.

Let's not laugh until we see the next S&P review of the US gummint's credit rating. Turkish bonds might look like a safe harbor after that.

Erdogan has more credibility than Pres. Magoo. Here's the latter's puppet master speaking via the PervOTUS's official Sh!tter account:
"The cost of the Build Back Better Agenda is $0. The President’s plan won’t add to our national deficit and no one making under $400,000 per year will see their taxes go up a single penny. It’s fully paid for by ensuring big corporations and the very wealthy pay their fair share."
National disgrace. Impeach Magoo.
Even Erdogan would do less damage than this disgusting moron is doing to our nation.
[GREATERKASHMIR] Inspector General of Police 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.... , Vijay Kumar on Saturday claimed that a Pak LeT Death Eater carried out the attack on a police party in north Kashmir's Bandipora yesterday in which two cops were killed.SgCt Mohammad Sultan and constable Fayaz Ahmad were killed in the attack at Gulshan Chowk area of the district yesterday.
News agency GNS quoted IGP Kashmir saying that a Pak Death Eater of Lashker-eToiba carried out the attack "facilitated" by two OGW (Over Ground Worker) Over ground workers (OGWs) are people who help militants, or terrorists, with logistical support, cash, shelter, and other infrastructure with which armed groups and insurgency movements such as Hizbul Mujaheddin and Jaish-e-Muhammad in Jammu and Kashmir can operate.... s. The IGP Kashmir however did not identify the Death Eater or the OGWs.
"Investigation is underway," he added.
A senior police officer further told GNS that based on CCTV footage of the attack "and other evidence", police have learnt that the Pak Death Eater fired upon the driver and one PSO guarding the concerned SHO and tried to snatch the rifle.
"But he couldn’t snatch the weapon due to retaliation by the PSO, " the officer said.
Meanwhile, ...back at the shootout, Butch shot Black Bart's other gun out of his other hand...... General Officer Commanding of Army’s Kilo Force, Major General Sanjiv Singh Salaria on Saturday chaired a joint meeting of security officers in Bandipora, a day after faceless myrmidons killed two coppers in the district of north Kashmir.
Salaria along with IGP Kashmir visited the scene of the attack and reviewed operational works and instructed field officers to generate specific inputs and enhance anti-militancy operations in district, a police brass hat told GNS.

[Rudaw] Suspected Ottoman Turkish warplanes launched an Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... for the second time within five days in the Yazidi heartland of Shingal (Sinjar) district on Saturday with no casualties reported, Yazidi activists and groups said.
The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire... bombed the town of Khanasor on the Syrian border targeting a building that was used by the Autonomous Administration Council of Shingal, established by Sinjar Resistance® Units (YBS), for meetings, Murad Ismael, co-founder of Sinjar Academy and a Yazidi activist said in a tweet.
"This building is one few good building in the town and was used before ISIS for social and political activities, weddings," he said referring 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.... by its acronym. "In addition to the horror this strike caused, and assuming no casualties, this building worthed [sic] 200,000 dollars and it’s gone now," he added.
The YBS was established to protect the Yezidi community in Iraq in 2007, playing a crucial role in the fight against Islamic State (ISIS) after it overran the district in August 2014 and committed genocide against the the ethno-religious minority.
The district has been hit by multiple Ottoman Turkish airstrikes in recent years, which appeared to have given more reasons to the displaced Yezidis not to return from camps in the Kurdistan region to their ancestral homeland. Ankara justifies its strikes by claiming Mount Shingal is host to a number of Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) positions and considers YBS to be linked to them.
The Free Yezidi Foundation called out the international community to stop Turkey. "How many Yezidis must die before Turkey is stopped?" The NGO said in a tweet. They added that ISIS "came to eradicate the #Yazidi on land; now Ottoman Turkish places + drones attack from above."
Hundreds of thousands of Yazidis fled their homes in the summer of 2014, seeking shelter on Mount Shingal, and then in the Kurdistan Region with a limited number resettled in Europa ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... and North America. In the first days of the genocide, 1,293 people were killed and over 6,000 people were kidnapped, according to the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) Office for Rescuing Kidnapped Yazidis. Over 2,000 remain missing.
The region has stayed unstable due to the presence of a number of armed militias, constant Ottoman Turkish airstrikes and the dispute between Baghdad and Erbil over who runs the district.
Five days ago, a commander of YBS, Marwan Badal Haji was killed in a Ottoman Turkish airstrike in the same town a stronghold of YBS. He was traveling in a vehicle accompanied by two of his children who survived the attack. Marwan was known as Haval Dezhwar amongst the locals and hailed from the same area.
Earlier in August, a Ottoman Turkish airstrike killed two members of the YBS, including a senior commander and three civilians. Another airstrike hit a hospital in Shingal a day later, killing four care workers and four YBS fighters.
[IsraelTimes] Soldiers sent to scene after surveillance identified the suspects trying to cross; authorities say illegal substances worth some $650,000
The Israeli military said Friday it had thwarted an attempt to smuggle drugs worth millions of shekels into Israel from Egypt.
The army said its surveillance had identified suspects on the border and troops had been sent to intercept them. The suspects fled and some 120 kilograms (265 pounds) of drugs were caught by soldiers, estimated to be worth some NIS 2 million ($650,000).
The drugs were handed over to police. Authorities did not say what type of drugs were seized.
Last month saw two similar drug smuggling busts on the border with Egypt.
The Israeli-Egyptian border has been used for years as a smuggling location, particularly for marijuana, but for other drugs as well.
The IDF recently updated its rules of engagement to allow soldiers to more easily open fire at suspected thieves and smugglers, in a bid to crack down on crime.
Under the IDF’s new open-fire regulations, troops are permitted to use deadly force in cases of thefts of weapons and ammunition from military bases, break-ins at bases and firing ranges, and smuggling attempts along the Israeli-Egyptian border, according to the military.
In the past, soldiers could only open fire in those circumstances if their lives were in immediate danger, a fact that was generally known by criminals.
Though the IDF is tasked with preventing smuggling along the Israeli-Egyptian border, the military typically strives to avoid direct confrontation with drug smugglers.
Security forces in #Lebanon and #Syria say they had seized two separate shipments of the banned stimulant captagon that were destined for #SaudiArabia via Jordan, the latest in a string of similar busts.https://t.co/4nUTFqtwjm
