[NY Post] A public meeting in Kenosha, Wis., descended into chaos Monday night as one resident accused the parks commission of quietly trying to approve a proposal to memorialize one of the two men killed by Kyle Rittenhouse in 2020.
The commission ultimately tabled the proposal after multiple residents showed opposing the placement of a memorial tree and plaque commemorating Anthony Huber
...the sweet, 26 year old avid skateboarder-cum-girlfriend strangler with a fondness for summer riots filmed trying to brain young Kyle with a skateboard. He got himself killed when he tried to take young Kyle’s gun...
at Anderson Park.
Huber was captured on video chasing Rittenhouse and attempting to hit him with a skateboard before Rittenhouse fatally shot him in the chest during protests on Aug. 25, 2020.
The proposal was requested earlier this month by Huber’s girlfriend Hannah Gittings, according to the commission’s agenda, and it flew under the public’s radar until Kevin Mathewson, a former Kenosha alderman and current investigative journalist, published an article about the issue on his website.
Mathewson attended Monday’s meeting and engaged in a testy exchange with the commission, whom he accused of breaking the law, prompting Alderman Eric Haugaard to repeatedly slam his gavel.

[HODHOD] An Emirati plane carrying 16 military commanders, including foreigners believed to be of British and Zionist entity nationality has arrived in the UAE-occupied Socotra archipelago, informed sources told Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of... Press Agency on Thursday.
The sources confirmed that British and Zionist military leaders arrived on the island, with the aim of putting the final touches on the planned Emirati-Zionist military base on Abdul-Kuri Island.
The UAE has carried out a 90-mile long military construction on Abdul-Kuri Island, in the west of Socotra archipelago, including a dirt runway, sea ports and roads, in addition to fencing an area as a monitoring center for the Zionist entity Navy towards the Gulf of Aden and Bab al-Mandab Strait near the Horn of Africa during the past six months, after the island’s residents were displaced to Qusayr area in Hadhramaut province.
The UAE also imposed its control over 6 oil sectors on the occupied island of Abdul-Kuri.

[Breitbart] Narco-banners hung by cartel gunmen this month in the capital of a Mexican border state promise more violence and exposes alleged rivals and their areas of operation.
Unknown gunmen suspected of being part of the Gulf Cartel hung the banners this month in various parts of Ciudad Victoria.
The banner features the photographs of 12 individuals alleged to be members of the Cartel Del Noreste faction of Los Zetas. The banner claims that those members of the CDN-Los Zetas are behind murders, kidnappings, and extortion in the region.
In addition to listing the individuals and their photographs, the banner also mentions the neighborhood where they operate; primarily on the city’s eastern side.
The Gulf Cartel and the CDN-Los Zetas are waging a long-term turf war for control of Ciudad Victoria.
For several months now, the Gulf Cartel has been sending teams of gunmen and carrying out targeted killings in Ciudad Victoria to take control from the CDN-Los Zetas. The Gulf Cartel originally lost control of the region in 2010 when it went to war with its former enforcers, Los Zetas. Since then, the two cartels have been fighting on and off for control of parts of Tamaulipas.
[Breitbart] In the wake of widespread Islamist riots across Sweden, Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson admitted that there are now “parallel societies” within her country – a tacit admission of the existence of Europe’s infamous ‘no-go zones’.
In response to Danish anti-Islam activist Rasmus Paludan and his followers burning a Qur’an earlier this month, widespread riots engulfed the Scandinavian country, with places like Malmo, Linköping, Norrköping, and Rinkeby seeing days of violence over the Easter weekend in which over 100 police officers were injured.
Commenting on the growing unrest among the Muslim population of Sweden, which has surged significantly as a result of the pro-migration policies since the height of European Migrant Crisis in 2015-16, Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson said on Thursday that there are “strong forces that are ready to go to great lengths to harm our society.”
“Segregation has been allowed to go so far that Sweden now has parallel societies,” Andersson said according to Aftonbladet. “We live in the same country but in completely different realities.”
“Integration has been too poor while we have had large-scale migration. Society has also been too weak,” she went on to admit.
Currently around one-fifth of the population, or two million people, in Sweden were born abroad, with more coming from migration-background families.
After years of negative impacts on social cohesion, the government has sought to enact stricter migration controls, such as placing limits on those seeking permanent residency.
The admissions from the leftist prime minister represent one of the closest acknowledgements from the government as to the actual existence of migrant-dominated no-go zones in Sweden.
Nevertheless, the blight of the areas has long been reported on both domestically and internationally, with even the British government previously warning its citizens to steer clear of such areas in 2018 over the risk of gun crime and explosions, with car bombs becoming a prominent feature of turf warfare in certain sections of the country.
Sweden has been ravaged by a spate of bombings of all kinds, with one expert stating that the amount of bombings is unparalleled in the developed world and the multicultural Swedish city of Malmo frequently being subjected to explosions and shootings.
Mostly Moslem migrant gangs of various ethnicities fighting for supremacy, with the occasional native biker gangs rearing up on their hind legs in self-defence.
As early as 2016, police in Sweden admitted to having lost control of 55 so-called no-go areas, where crime rates spiralled in parallel with mass migration. At the time police officers admitted that they had lost the ability to effectively enforce the law and were reduced to merely reacting to surges in theft, sexual assault, and gang crime.
On top of the ill effects of having heavily segregated communities, statistics of shown that the migrant population is significantly lagging behind native-born Swedes economically, with migrants experiencing a much higher unemployment rate.
One of the reasons cited for the disparity is the comparative education level, with reports previously showing that nearly half of unemployed migrants did not have a high school education, compared to just 18 per cent of the native population.
Following the recent riots during Easter, the Swedish government has announced that it will be looking into adopting stricter systems to combat juvenile delinquency, including potential electronic monitoring of children after school in order to ensure that they go home in order to prevent teens from joining gangs.
[BBC] Denmark has been welcoming Ukrainian refugees since the start of the Russian invasion and the Danish government has just passed a law that will allow them to stay for up to two years.
But at the same time, the government has also been working on plans to reduce the number of non-European asylum seekers.
Now many Syrian refugees, already living in the country, are feeling unwelcome and worried about their future.
Insightful of them.
BBC Arabic’s Hanan Razek went to Copenhagen to find out whether there really is a double standard.
Military age men from a conquering, Eve-teasing culture versus women with children who want to return home as soon as the situation settles down, and in the meantime hope to work to support themselves — and there are already reports that large numbers are returning to the areas Ukraine has reconquered or Russia has withdrawn from. I know what I’d prefer.

I'm sure the Swedish government's hope, naive at least in retrospect, was that the immigrants would assimilate and become more Swedish.
It hasn't happened after two years; and so you have to ask the question: If not by now, when will this happen? And if the likely answer is "never," what will you do about it?

The pseudo-colonial areas of Muslims will increasingly get local autonomy for Sharia based alternative courts, and then, when the disparate differences in birth rates create large increases in population of these colonies, demand or seize peripheral areas. Rinse and repeat.
Like a cancer, it spreads and metastasizes unless surgically removed. Surgery in this case requires a resolve politicians do not have. Absent a Viking heritage revival, the long term disappearance of blondes seems likely.

It hasn't happened after two years;
It’s been thirty years or more since the anti-Saddam Kurds started arriving in Scandinavia. A good portion of them objected to his secularism rather than to his war gasses, and they came with international connections.

They didn't have any hope that the immigrants would "become Swedish". They despise the Swedish people and wish to be rid of them. Importing hostile high-birth rate Muslims was just the ticket.

At the 20% level, the Mohammedans start to insist on doing things their way, and they will resort to whatever intimidation and violence is necessary to complete the colonization. Bend the neck and pay the jizya.
On Saturday, al-Anbar Operations Command has decided that the Tribal Mobilization Forces (affiliated with PMF) would be responsible for the operations in the areas of al-Dabaa, south of al-Rutba district, al-Nukhayb, Heet, and the desert of al-Qaim district because they are familiar with the region and know well the security situation in the area. A source said.
The source pointed out that "the current operations in the desert areas will allow the tribal mobilization forces to find the sleeping terrorist cells."
[Rudaw] Dozens of faithful celebrated mass Saturday at a djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... church in northern Iraq for the first time since it was restored after its ransacking by 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.... jihadists.
IS swept into Mosul and proclaimed it their "capital" in 2014, in an onslaught that forced hundreds of thousands of Christians in the northern Nineveh province to flee, some to Iraq's nearby Kurdistan region.
The Iraqi army drove out the jihadists three years later after months of gruelling street fighting that devastated the city.
The Mar Tuma Syriac Catholic church, which dates back to the 19th century, was used by the jihadists as a prison or a court.
Restoration work is ongoing and its marble floor has been dismantled to be completely redone.
In September 2021, a new bell was inaugurated at the church during a ceremony attended by dozens of worshippers.
The 285-kilogramme (nearly 630-pound) bell cast in Lebanon Hezbollahstan ...a strong argument in favor of European colonialism, even French colonialism... rang out on Saturday to cries of joy before the mass got underway, an AFP correspondent said.
The service began with worshippers who packed the church chanting hymns as an organist played.
"This is the most beautiful church in Iraq," said Father Pios Affas, 82, the delighted parish priest.
Affas also paid tribute to those behind the restoration work which, he said, had "brought the church back to its past glory, like the way it was 160 years ago".
Inside the church, ochre and grey marble shone in the nave, where the altar and colonnaded arches were restored and new stained glass installed.
Jihadists had destroyed all Christian symbols, including the holy cross, and parts of the church were damaged by fire and shelling.
Artisans worked diligently to "clean the scorched marble" and restore it, Fraternity in Iraq, a French NGO that aids religious minorities, which helped fund the restoration work said earlier this year.
Outbuildings and rooms on the first floor, where windows have been broken and IS graffiti can be seen, are still due to be repaired.
Mosul and the surrounding plains of Nineveh were once home to one of the region's oldest Christian communities.
Iraq's Christian population has shrunk to fewer than 400,000 from around 1.5 million before the US-led invasion of 2003 that toppled dictator Saddam Hussein.
Nineveh province was left in ruins after three years of jihadist occupation which ended in 2017 when Iraqi forces backed by US-led coalition air strikes pushed them out.
Several monasteries and churches are being renovated but reconstruction is slow, and the Christian population that has fled has not returned.
Pope Francis ...Argentine liberation theologist, born Jorge Mario Bergoglio. He was elected pope in 2013. Rather than setting up shop in Avignon, where he belongs, the first Jesuit Pope chose to reside in the Domus Sanctae Marthae guesthouse instead of the papal apartments. He is big on climate change, against consumerism, and in favor of throwing a blanket over homosexual activity (so to speak) within the clergy. He's not real sure about the Resurrection, about Christ's divinity, and a few other things that would have gotten him burned at the stake a few hundred years ago, but he's hot for a certain South American Earth Mother Goddess... made a historic visit to the region last year.
The Palestinian movement #Hamas warns of attacks on synagogues if Israeli forces carry out another raid on the flashpoint #alAqsa mosque in annexed east #Jerusalem.https://t.co/grbDzcyCqc
Follow up to this report from yesterday. Arrest of the miscreants can be seen here.
[Jpost] Buoyed by Friday night’s terrorist attack in Ariel and massive support during rallies at the Aqsa Mosque compound (Temple Mount) over the past few weeks, Hamas and other Palestinian terror groups have called for stepping up the fight against Israel. In separate statements, the groups also welcomed the Ariel attack, which resulted in the killing of a security guard.
Hamas officials said over the weekend that they consider the rallies that took place at the compound as a “referendum” in support of the armed “resistance” against Israel.
During the rallies, thousands of Hamas supporters chanted slogans in support of Hamas military commander Mohammed Deif and the group’s leader in the Gaza Strip, Yayha Sinwar. The demonstrators also called on Hamas to bomb Tel Aviv and “blow up the heads of the Zionists.”
“The decision of the Palestinian people is that the resistance is the option and the shortest way to liberate Palestine and Jerusalem,” said Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, who is based in Qatar.
But a leaflet distributed by Fatah activists in east Jerusalem on Friday criticized the worshippers for raising Hamas flags at the holy site. The leaflet also attacked the worshippers for chanting slogans against Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.
A senior PA official in Ramallah condemned the use of the holy site as a podium for “raising political banners and slandering President Abbas.” The official argued that the pro-Hamas rallies at the Aqsa Mosque compound caused “huge damage” to the Palestinians.
In a video released early Saturday, a masked man claiming to represent the Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, the armed wing of the ruling Fatah faction headed by Abbas, claimed “full responsibility” for the Ariel attack. He said that the attack came “in response to the oppression and violation of the occupation government against Muslim and Christian holy sites.”
The masked man pledged that his group will continue “in the path of glory and martyrdom.”
It was not clear whether the Fatah-affiliated group was indeed responsible for the attack.
The Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) organization said that the Palestinians will “continue the fight against the [Israeli] enemy.”
Commenting on the death of Yahya Adwan, a 28-year-old Palestinian from the village of Azun in the northern West Bank who was shot dead by IDF soldiers during clashes shortly after the Ariel attack, PIJ called on Palestinians to avenge his killing.
Abu Hamza, a spokesperson for PIJ’s armed wing, praised the Ariel attack as a “heroic operation” and a “gift from the Palestinians to all the free people on Al-Quds (Jerusalem) Day.”
[Rudaw] Syrian Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad The Scourge of Hama... announced Saturday a general amnesty for those Syrians who have been involved in "terrorist crimes" before April 30, 2022, excluding those that led to the death of human beings - state media
"A general amnesty would be given to terrorist crimes committed by Syrians before April 30th, 2022, except those which led to death to a human being," the state-owned SANA cited a decree by Assad.
Syrians began an uprising against Assad family’s decades-long rule in 2011, leading to a civil war which has so far claimed the lives of over 350,000 civilians and combatants, according to the United Nations ...an organization conceived in the belief that we're just one big happy world, with the sort of results you'd expect from such nonsense... (UN).
Assad’s troops, with the support of Russia and Iran, have been able to regain control of most parts of the country which were taken by rebels who are considered by Damascus as "terrorists" in the first years of the uprising. Although Syrian army has not clashed with the Kurdish forces - which controls the northeast party of the country - except for a number of skirmishes, the state media sometimes describes them as "terrorists" as well.
The amnesty comes a couple of days before the Islamic feast, Eid al-Fitr.
