[FoxNews] Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich says state authorized 'to defend itself' under governor’s 'authority as Commander-in-Chief'.
Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich on Monday issued a legal opinion that determines that the ongoing crisis at the southern border is an "invasion" under the Constitution – a move he says gives the state the power to take additional measures to defend itself.
In the opinion, Brnovich says that the definition of "invasion" contained under the U.S. Constitution is not limited to hostile foreign states, and can include "hostile non-state actors."

He isn't wrong. The governor has the authority to call up the national guard for his state and even the unorganized militia if he wants. Emergency funds can be gotten to secure the border with Mexico and they can arrest illegals and keep them in camps if he wishes, all while telling the Feds to pound sand.

There is a range of sonic non-lethals that are perfect for this problem. I even recall a range of non-lethals that use microwave level devices to create a feeling of heat on exposed tissue at a distance. What is missing is the will to defend us!

Events across the southern border certainly look like an invasion to me.
--- The federal government, by its Constitution, is also obligated to guarantee to every state a republican form of government, NOT a democracy -- that word is nowhere to be found in the Constitution. The feds quit doing that part a very long time ago.

Provincial officials of the eastern Nangarhar province said on Sunday, February 6, 2022, that up to 50 ISIS-K or Daesh fighters surrendered to them.
The local officials said that the terrorists surrendered following mediation by tribal elders of the province.
Head of the Nangarhar Intelligence Directorate Dr. Basheer said that the fighters surrendered based on the general amnesty announced by the supreme leader of the Taliban and added that the process will go on.
This is the eighth group of the Daesh fighters that surrenders to the Taliban in Nangarhar province since the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan took over last year.
The surrendered militants said that they remorse being par to the ISIS-K and promised not to join the terror group again.
Dr Basheer said that the surrender of the affiliates is conditioned and they are not allowed to go from one area to another without the permission of the Taliban.
In the meantime, those who surrendered cannot use weapons or military vehicles and cannot contact the wrongdoers.

The United States government has placed a $10million (N4.1billion) bounty on Sanaullah Ghafari,
...also known as also known as Shahab al-Muhajir, he ascended to the top almost two years ago. Late last year he made the US State Dept. Specially Designated Global Terrorists (SDGTs) list ...
leader of the Afghanistan regional chapter of the Islamic State group.
The US State Department announced that it needed information leading to the “identification or location” of Ghafari, AFP reports.
The reward, according to the US government is for any information that would aid in arresting or convicting Ghafari and others responsible for the “terrorist attack at the Kabul airport” on August 26, 2021, which was claimed by the Islamic State-Khorasan (IS-K).
ISIS-K, known as the Islamic State–Khorasan Province, operates out of Afghanistan and Pakistan.
It was the group responsible for an attack against U.S. troops and Afghan citizens at the Kabul airport during President Joe Biden's pullout from the country last August.
The State Department identified this faction's leader as Sanaullah Ghafari who took over in June 2020.
“Ghafari is responsible for approving all ISIS-K operations throughout Afghanistan and arranging funding to conduct operations,” the State Department said in a statement.
He had been blacklisted in November 2021 as a foreign terrorist.
Little is known about Ghafari, although his nom de guerre suggests he arrived in the region from the Arab world.
He is rumoured to have been an Al-Qaeda commander or a former member of the Haqqani network, one of the most powerful and feared factions in the Taliban.
IS-K has been responsible for some of the deadliest attacks in the region in recent years, massacring civilians in Afghanistan and Pakistan, at mosques, shrines, public squares and hospitals.
The group has especially targeted Muslims from sects it considers heretical, including Shiites — much like the original IS group.
It was hit hard by both the Taliban and US-led forces and was losing influence but its attacks have ramped up since their rival Islamists took power in August.

[KavkazUzel] A native of Ingushetia is in Syria preparing food for IS militants and treating them, investigators suspected.
A resident of Ingushetia is suspected of participating in the activities of a terrorist organization and participation in an illegal armed formation on the territory of a foreign state.
According to investigators, in May 2016, a 41-year-old resident of Ingushetia arrived in the Syrian city of Raqqa, where she voluntarily joined the structural unit of IS.
"The suspect performs the functions of cooking, housekeeping, providing medical care and caring for wounded militants taking part in hostilities against the government forces of the Syrian Arab Republic," the Ingushetia Investigative Committee said today.
The investigation is being conducted by the investigative department for the city of Karabulak of the Investigation Department of the Russian Investigative Committee for Ingushetia. The issue of bringing the suspect in absentia and declaring her on the international wanted list is being decided, according to a statement on the agency's website.
There were no comments from the suspect or her official representatives regarding the version of the investigation.
The "Caucasian Knot" also wrote that the Investigative Committee of Ingushetia told new details about the preparation of terrorist attacks on the territory of the republic. According to investigators, the 18-year-old defendants were trained to make an improvised explosive device and planned to blow up the buildings of the National Guard and a separate battalion of the patrol service of the Sunzha Ministry of Internal Affairs.
[DW] Almost 9,000 Bangladeshis entered the EU last year via irregular routes. Most were headed for Italia, a favored destination for the south Asians.
"I decided to go to Libya when my father died a few years ago. I was the only person of the eight-member family and I had to do something to maintain the family," Lakuira Sobuj, a Bangladeshi migrant who came to Italia last year after crossing the Mediterranean from Libya, told InfoMoslem colonists Migrants. "and I love pasta!"
The 25-year old Bangladeshi citizen spent around €4,000 to go to Libya in 2020, which was his primary destination for work. He was not planning to come to Europa ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... at that time.

[ngo.locals.com] The suspect arrested over the car-ramming attack against the "Freedom Convoy" protesters in Winnipeg, Canada is an Antifa member with a long history of far-left militantism in Manitoba. David Alexander Zegarac, 42, of Headingley, Man., allegedly sped off to try and escape after the attack on Feb. 4, 2022, which injured four people. He ran multiple lights and resisted arrest when he was finally caught around 40 minutes later.
Zegarac was the frontman of the antifa punk band Brat Attack until the record label dropped the group because of multiple accusations of sexual assault against Zegarac in 2015. One of the accusers said she was only 13 when he groomed her and raped her.
A typical Antifa cadre. Rebel News has more about what a vile little shit he is, legitimately loathed by all who know him.

Pease be patient. Headingley is a very small community. Canada is a big country with few people and huge land and WATER masses. A person might disappear and never resurface. Bears might get him. There are many hog barns not that far from Headingley. There are quite a few chipper/shredders in the immediate area. Patience, please.

It’s past time for the old generationto make way for the next.
[IsraelTimes] Senior Fatah official Jamal Mheisin has died, Paleostinian officials announce.
Mheisin, 73, succumbed to an unspecified illness, officials say. AIDS from Arafat?
A longtime Fatah activist from Hebron, Mheisin was a member of the Paleostinian movement’s Central Committee.
Fellow Fatah Central Committee member Hussein al-Sheikh calls Mheisin "a friend and lifelong comrade" in a tweet.
[JPost] So "A new morning begins"..naaaahhhh
Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, which are not part of the PLO, did not send representatives to the meeting, saying it would drive a deeper rift among Palestinians.
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas on Monday scored a victory as the Palestinian Central Council (PCC) voted in favor of appointing some of his loyalists to key positions in the Palestinian leadership.
Hussein al-Sheikh, head of the PA General Authority of Civil Affairs, was chosen to replace the late Saeb Erekat, who died in 2020, as secretary-general of the PLO Executive Committee.
Abbas serves as chairman of the PLO Executive Committee and the Fatah Central Committee, two bodies that are now dominated by his loyalists.
The appointment of Sheikh boosts his chances of becoming No. 2 in the Palestinian leadership and a potential successor to Abbas.
Mohammad Mustafa was elected to replace PLO Executive Committee member Hanan Ashrawi, who resigned in 2020 after accusing the Palestinian leadership of marginalizing the PLO and excluding it from decision-making.
Ramzi Rabah was elected to replace veteran PLO Executive Committee member Tayseer Khaled, who submitted his resignation.
The PCC elected Ramzi Khoury as chairman of the Palestinian National Fund, the PLO’s “finance ministry.” Khoury, a longtime confidant of Abbas, was also elected to be a member of the PLO Executive Committee.
The PCC also voted in favor of appointing another Abbas loyalist, Rouhi Fattouh, as speaker of the Palestinian National Council, the PLO’s legislative body and parliament in exile. Fattouh replaced Salim Zanoun, who retired after 30 years in the job.
The PCC decisions were announced at the end of a two-day meeting in Ramallah that was boycotted by several Palestinian factions and figures who had accused Abbas of “hijacking” the Palestinian decision-making bodies and refusing to share powers with others.
Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, which are not part of the PLO, did not send representatives to the meeting. The two groups had called on Palestinian delegates and factions to boycott the session, saying it would deepen divisions among the Palestinians and sabotage efforts to end the rivalry between Abbas’s Fatah and Hamas.
Palestinian political analysts said the decisions of the PCC would tighten Abbas’s control over the PLO and other major institutions and pave the way for his loyalists to play a significant role in the post-Abbas era.
“This is a big victory for President Abbas,” said one analyst. “It is also a major blow to his rivals, especially those within the PLO and Fatah.”
Other analysts denounced the PCC decisions as a “crime” against the Palestinians and said those elected do not represent the Palestinians.
In a speech before the PCC on Sunday night, Abbas accused Israel of “undermining the two-state solution” and said that “options remain open.”
“It is not possible to continue implementing agreements [with Israel] unilaterally, and our contacts with the Israeli side are not a substitute for a political solution based on international legitimacy,” he said.
The Palestinians will continue to work with the US administration to strengthen bilateral relations, Abbas said.
“We are still waiting for the implementation of its commitments to protect the two-state solution and the signed agreements,” he said, referring to Washington’s pledge to reopen the US Consulate in Jerusalem that was closed in 2018.

[IsraelTimes] Belarus plans to deploy up to 200 troops to Syria to serve alongside Russian forces in the country, according to a Russian government document released Monday, a move strongly condemned by Belarus’ opposition leader.
A draft agreement between Russia and its ally, Belarus, endorsed by Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin says that the Belarusian troops will work to provide "humanitarian assistance" to the population outside combat zones.
The document, which is yet to be signed by the countries’ foreign and defense ministries, states that Belarusian troops will act under operational control of the Russian military in Syria when deployed to the country.
The planned deployment of Belarusian troops’ to Syria reflects increasingly close defense ties between the two ex-Soviet neighbors and allies.
In recent weeks, Russia has moved troops from Siberia and the Far East to Belarus for sweeping joint drills. The deployment added to the Russian military buildup near Ukraine, fueling Western fears of a possible invasion.
Members of the Iranian-backed faction attend a wedding in al-Bukamal without an invitation, which led to a fight in which people were wounded. #Deir_ez_Zor#Syria#Iranhttps://t.co/Q8dgj2Q42O
DEIR EZ-ZOR, Syria (North Press) – A number of people were injured as a result of a dispute between residents and members of the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) at a wedding party in the countryside of the city of al-Bukamal on the Iraqi-Syrian border.
“A dispute erupted between the members of the Jaghayfa tribe and the PMF members when the latter’s members came to the wedding party without being invited,” a well-informed source from the village of al-Hari bordering Iraq in the countryside of al-Bukamal said.
“The dispute started when members of PMF refused to leave the party. It then turned an exchange of fire between the tribe members and the Iraqi Popular Mobilization members,” the source said.
“Three members of the tribe were wounded, in addition to at least two members of the Popular Mobilization Forces,” the source added.
The source pointed out that “the Iranian militias have surrounded the village of al-Hari, preventing people from entering or leaving it. They also imposed a curfew, amid a state of tension prevailing in the village,” according the source.

[Rudaw] A group led by Syria's former al-Qaeda affiliate on Sunday denied it knew the head of 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.

(HTS) jihadist group, an IS rival.
"We were not aware of such an operation before it happened," HTS said in a statement, adding that it was also unaware of "the identity of the residents" of the house that was targeted by US special forces.
"We condemn this (US) operation," the group added, saying it would continue to "fight against vices and crime".
HTS occasionally carries out operations against IS-affiliated cells in the region -- Syria's last main jihadist and rebel bastion, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
The war monitor, which relies on a network of sources inside Syria, said HTS had fought armed jihadists affiliated to IS in recent months.
HTS controls around half of Idlib province as well as slivers of territory in the neighboring provinces of Aleppo, Hama and Latakia.
In recent years, HTS has tried to cast itself as a more moderate player focused only on Syrian matters and condemning international terrorism.
The Idlib area is the last enclave to actively oppose the government of Bashir al-Assad.
