Our foreign military assistance training efforts at their very best. Another loser and 'president for life' selected and groomed by the Deep State.
Wiki - Goïta served as a colonel in the Autonomous Special Forces Battalion, the special forces unit of the Malian Armed Forces.[citation needed] He commanded the Malian special forces in the center of the country with the rank of colonel, and took part in the jihadist insurgency in Mali.[10] In 2018, he met the future Guinean coup leader and president Mamady Doumbouya.[11]
Goïta received further military training from the United States, France, and Germany, and had experience working with United States Army Special Forces.
Laos 1962-1964 anyone? Who could ultimately be behind such efforts ?
[AA.COM.TR] Nigeria's military has ''neutralized'' 24 Boko Haram ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality... bully boyz in coordinated operations in the West African country's northeast, an army statement said Thursday.
Nigerian troops backed by air support and local forces eliminated several Boko Haram and 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.... West Africa Province (ISWAP) bully boyz in northeastern operations between July 4 and 9, the army wrote on X.
The operations were carried out in the northeastern state of Borno and surrounding regions.
At least nine people were killed and four injured on Sunday in an attack by Boko Haram bully boyz on the Malam Fatori community in Borno state.
Nigeria has long faced attacks from armed gangs as well as terrorist groups such as Boko Haram and ISWAP, the West African branch of ISIS (ISIS), in various parts of the country.

[Regnum] Fighters from the Yemeni Shiite movement Ansar Allah (Houthis) launched a missile attack on Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv. This was reported on July 10 by Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saria on the Al Masirah TV channel.
“Yemen’s missile forces carried out a high-quality military operation by attacking Ben Gurion Airport in the occupied Jaffa region (Tel Aviv – Ed.) using a Zulfikar ballistic missile,” he said.
According to a Houthi spokesman, the operation's goal has been achieved.
The Houthis on Thursday also continued their ballistic missile attacks on Israel, which they did not pause as part of their ceasefire with the US, shooting two missiles at the Jewish state.
The first missile, fired in the morning, was intercepted outside Israel’s borders. The second, shortly before 10 p.m., fell short before reaching Israel; accordingly, it triggered no sirens, though its launch was identified by the military.
[X] On Thursday, July 10, 2025, ICE conducted raids on two cannabis farms in Ventura County, California, leading to confrontations with protesters. During these events, an anti-ICE protester discharged a firearm at federal agents. Several individuals were injured and hospitalized, and an undetermined number of farm workers were detained. The clashes involved the use of tear gas and other non-lethal methods by law enforcement to manage the crowd.

Random gunfire and sniping coming soon. It's a metro-revolution. One of the reasons I continue to say "stay out of it" with regard to foreign misadventures. We've got our own issues just below the surface, right here.
Unaccompanied minors found working at a pot farm in violation of child labor laws, undoubtedly smuggled into the country for purposes of slave labor. But Newsom is very unhappy with Trump.

My first question upon hearing this was "How did the 'protestors' find out about the raid in advance?"
It's not like they camped out at some random location waiting for stuff to happen.

"Unaccompanied minors found working at a pot farm in violation of child labor laws"
I really do not understand this line of thought other than the notion & argument that pot is bad, therefore everything associated with pot is bad.
Pot is an agricultural product and our Great American Literary Authors like Steinbeck wrote novel upon novel with themes regarding the MX Migrant Farmer Border Culture especially migrant farmers in Cali's Center Valley. Whole MX families have harvested American crops for centuries. It is nothing new. And now people act like they never heard or read about this part of US history before.
I tend to not disdain the things that worked for our Forefathers.

^ But surely you've heard of human trafficking, right? Human trafficking of unaccompanied minors? Maybe you think it's not so bad if a 15-year-old sneaks across the border to work on a farm (pot or otherwise). But with all the unemployment among American citizens, I am of the opinion that American citizens are not too good for farm labor.

If you find that you really cannot do without Mexicans to harvest your marijuana, it might be possible to re-institute the old bracero program in which they came to work the until the harvest was finished and then returned to their homes in Mexico. That way we know who and how many are coming and we know they don't come to stay...or to vote for Democrats in our elections.

They’ve been replacing partisan hacks with useful attorneys, jefe101, which is a significant staffing effort. In the meantime, they are short staffed for all the projects they have going.
FIRST ON FOX: The President of Glass House Farms, the cannabis farm that federal immigration authorities raided in California on Thursday despite protests, has donated thousands to Democrats in California.
Co-founder, president, and board director Graham Farrar, who self-identifies on social media as residing in Santa Barbara, California, has made numerous political donations to the Santa Barbara County Democratic Central Committee’s federal political action committee and Rep. Salud Carbajal, D-Calif., according to Federal Election Commission records.
According to California public campaign finance records, he also donated $10,000 to California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom in 2018, and his most recent public political donation was to California Democratic Assemblymember Gregg Hart in July 2023.

The 71-year-old cricketer-turned-politician has been behind bars since August 2023 after he was booked in multiple cases ranging from corruption to terrorism since his ouster from power via the opposition's no-trust motion in April 2022.
Jemima and Khan married in 1994 and divorced nearly a decade later in 2004.

[GEO.TV] At least nine passengers were kidnapped and rubbed out after button men intercepted a bus travelling from Quetta to Lahore, officials in Balochistan ...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it... confirmed on Friday.
The incident took place near Zhob, a town in northern Balochistan, where armed assailants stopped the bus, removed passengers, and selectively identified and executed nine individuals.
Assistant Commissioner Zhob, Naveed Alam, said the attackers opened fire on the kidnapped passengers after taking them away from the vehicles.
The bodies of the dear departed have been shifted to the Rekhni hospital in the Barkhan district of Balochistan, he said.
A spokesperson for the provincial government strongly condemned the attack, calling it an act of terrorism.
''The gunnies pulled passengers off the bus, identified them, and then mercilessly killed nine innocent Paks,'' the spokesperson, Shahid Rind, stated.
The murder of defenceless civilians is a glaring example of the barbarity of the Fitna al-Hindustan, said the official.
Security forces responded swiftly to the reports of the abduction, he said.
The assailants, he said, fled under cover of darkness. However,
today is that tomorrow you were thinking about yesterday... the operation to track them down continues, with a search under way in the surrounding region.

[GEO.TV] The United Nations managed to bring 75,000 liters of fuel into Gaza, the first in 130 days, the secretary-general's spokesman said on Thursday, noting it was still far from enough to alleviate shortages in the war-torn territory. "We are struggling to make enough Molotov cocktails!"
"We and our humanitarian partners need hundreds of thousands of liters of fuel each day to keep essential life-saving and life-sustaining operations going, meaning that the amount entered yesterday isn't sufficient to cover even one day of energy requirement," said Stephane Dujarric, warning that crucial services will shut down if more fuel does not enter Gaza immediately.

[IsraelTimes] Security guard Shalev Zvuluny, 22, stabbed and shot outside supermarket; assailants shot dead by soldier and armed civilian; IDF surrounds nearby Palestinian town
A 22-year-old Israeli man was killed in a terror attack at a shopping complex at the Gush Etzion Junction in the West Bank on Thursday, the military, police, and medics said.
The two Paleostinian snuffies who carried out the attack were rubbed out by a soldier and another armed civilian in the area, West Bank District Commander Moshe Pinchi told news hounds at the scene.
According to a preliminary investigation of the attack, the two snuffies arrived by a stolen car at the shopping center and stabbed a security guard outside a supermarket. The assailants then snatched the guard’s handgun and exchanged fire with the soldier and armed civilian, before being killed.
The guard was initially listed at death's door, then was declared dead by Magen David Adom medics. He was later named as Shalev Zvuluny, 22, from Kiryat Arba.
The Israel Defense Forces described the incident as a "combined shooting and stabbing attack."
The council of the Hebron-adjacent settlement mourned Zvuluny as "a special person, beloved by those who knew him," sending condolences and support to the family.
Following the attack, the IDF said troops were surrounding the nearby West Bank town of Halhul and blocking roads in the area.
The two perpetrators were later identified as Paleostinian cops who served in the Paleostinian Authority’s police force, The Times of Israel learned. The two were in their early 20s and had completed their training only a few months ago. They were named by Paleostinian media as Mahmoud Abed, 23, from Halhul, and Malik Salem, 23, from Tulkarem. Neither had any security background nor were previously detained by Israel, a defense official said.
The armed civilian who killed the snuffies told Channel 12 news he was in line at the checkout when he heard gunshots.
"Someone entered the store and yelled that there were snuffies outside. I left everything in the store, and immediately ran outside together with a soldier who was in civilian clothing," he said.
"There was a lot of shooting. We didn’t know exactly where it was coming from. In the end, we managed to identify the two snuffies who were hiding and killed them," he said.
Ilan, a witness to the attack, described hearing gunshots fired in all directions, adding, "It was a miracle a greater disaster didn’t occur."
Earlier on Thursday, an IDF soldier was stabbed by a Paleostinian during operations in the West Bank village of Rummanah, near Jenin, the military said.
Since October 7, 2023, when Hamas ..a regional Iranian catspaw,... led a devastating invasion of southern Israel from 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 a rusty iron fist by Hamas with 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 that triggered the ongoing war in the enclave, troops have arrested some 6,000 Paleostinians across the West Bank, including more than 2,350 affiliated with Hamas.
According to the Paleostinian Authority health ministry, more than 950 West Bank Paleostinians have been killed in that time. The IDF says the vast majority of them were button men killed in exchanges of fire, rioters who clashed with troops, or snuffies carrying out attacks.
During the same period, 53 people, including Israeli security personnel, have been killed in terror attacks in Israel and the West Bank. Another eight members of the security forces were killed in festivities with terror operatives in the West Bank.
[GEO.TV] The Israeli army has bombed the Halimah al-Saadiyah School in Jabalia an-Nazla, in which displaced Palestinians were sheltering, killing at least five people, Al Jazeera reported, citing sources at al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City.
[IsraelTimes] IDF says it’s probing reports of civilian casualties in incident that appears to hit medical clinic; footage shows bodies of women and children lying in pools of blood amid dust and screaming
An Israeli airstrike in central Gaza’s Deir al-Balah on Thursday targeted a Hamas terrorist who invaded Israel during the October 7 onslaught, the military said. Palestinian media reported that at least 13 people were killed in the strike, including eight small children and two women who were receiving medical treatment.
The IDF said it was “aware of the claim about casualties in the area,” adding that the incident was being investigated.
According to the Al-Rad channel, some of the casualties had been receiving treatment and supplementary nutrition at a nearby medical center when the strike hit.
Gaza’s Hamas-run civil defense agency said Thursday afternoon that at least 52 people were killed in Israeli strikes since morning. These numbers cannot be verified and do not differentiate between civilians and combatants.
Civil defense official Mohammad al-Mughair told AFP that eight children and two women were among the dead following the strike in Deir al-Balah, adding Israeli aircraft targeted “a gathering of citizens in front of a medical point.”
Four people were killed and several injured in a predawn airstrike on a family home in Al-Bureij camp in central Gaza, Mughair added.
In its daily update on the fighting, the military said over 180 targets were struck by the Israeli Air Force in the Gaza Strip over the previous day, including operatives, booby-trapped buildings, weapon depots, anti-tank launch posts, tunnels, and other infrastructure.
The strikes come as five IDF divisions, made up of tens of thousands of troops, continue to operate across Gaza.
In northern Gaza, the IDF says troops of the 401st Armored Brigade located several weapons and tunnel shafts used by Hamas. The troops also located a cell of Hamas operatives in a building and directed a drone strike against them, according to the IDF.
Similarly, the military said troops of the elite Multi-Domain Unit spotted a cell of Islamic Jihad operatives in a building and called in a drone strike.
On Wednesday, an IDF soldier was killed during a Hamas attempt to abduct him in southern Gaza, and a soldier with the 7th Armored Brigade’s 77th Battalion was seriously wounded during fighting in the northern Gaza Strip, the IDF said.
The soldier was taken to a hospital for treatment.
Giving a broader tally, the military said dozens of enemy operatives were killed and over 130 “terror infrastructures,” both above and below ground, were demolished by troops of the Golani Brigade during operations in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis in the past week. Among the sites was a 500-meter-long, 13-meter-deep Hamas tunnel, the military says. The elite Yahalom combat engineering unit destroyed it. Other sites included caches of weapons, booby-trapped buildings, observation posts, and mortar launching positions, the military said.
[X] Another Palestinian journalist was killed by Israeli army fire in Gaza, bringing the corpse count death toll since October 2023 to 229.
Is this one of the many who double dipped on the Hamas payroll? Was he one of those who joined Hamas’s viciously violent invasion of Israel on 10/7/2023 or supported it from Gaza when they brought the hostages back as war booty??

Although not iron-clad, "assassinate" usually means in inside job. A direct foreign action--sniper, booby trap, bomb--is usually called something else. Translation issue?

I don’t see anything about this on the Israel Times, Jerusalem Post, or Israel National News — Grom’s preferred site — for either spelling of his name. The most recent piece on all three is this story on June 28th:
The Mossad message cautioned ordinary Iranians: “You may keep watching our content, but for your own safety, please avoid following the page or reacting to our posts.”
At this point it has to be acknowledged RUMINT. So if anyone sees solid information that this either is or is not true, please post it here.
[NAHARNET] A patrol from the United Nations ...the Oyster Bay money pit... Interim Force in Leb ...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. Only one of those statements is an exaggeration.... (UNIFIL) on Thursday attempted to enter the southern town of Aytit, but was met with resistance from a group of local youths, the state-run National News Agency reported.
According to NNA, the patrol fired tear gas in the direction of the protesters before retreating from the area.
UNIFIL spokesperson Andrea Tenenti said ''this morning, several individuals in civilian clothes blocked UNIFIL peacekeepers on a planned patrol near Wadi Jilu'' and that ''the activity had been previously coordinated with the Lebanese Armed Forces, in support of Lebanon's implementation of Resolution 1701.''
''While the situation was initially calm, the individuals soon began throwing stones at the peacekeepers, who were forced to disperse the crowd with smoke to protect themselves from harm,'' Tenenti added, noting that ''the LAF arrived at the scene and the situation was brought under control.''
''As the Lebanese government and army have made clear, peacekeepers can move independently in south Lebanon in performance of their duties to restore security and stability under Resolution 1701. They do not need to be accompanied by Lebanese soldiers,'' Tenenti said.
Warning that ''any attack on peacekeepers is a serious violation of international law and Resolution 1701,'' the front man said UNIFIL has requested that the Lebanese authorities bring the perpetrators to justice.
''We will continue impartially monitoring and reporting on violations of 1701, as mandated by the Security Council and requested by the Lebanese government,'' Tenenti vowed.
Hezbollah supporters in Lebanon frequently accuse the U.N. mission — which was created to oversee the withdrawal of Israeli troops from southern Lebanon after Israel's 1978 invasion -- of collusion with Israel. Israel meanwhile accuses the peacekeepers of turning a blind eye to Hezbollah's military activities in southern Lebanon.
