-War on Police-
‘Boogaloo Bois’ Staged Attack on Minneapolis Police Precinct During George Floyd Protests: Feds
Is he a real Boogaloo Boi or Antifa/BLM pretending to be a BB?
[EpochTimes] Federal charges of plotting to incite a riot and committing an act of violence to spark a riot have been brought against a Texas man claiming to be a member of the Boogaloo Bois, a hard boy bully boy group, with prosecutors claiming the man opened fire on a Minneapolis police precinct as part of a plot to foment unrest amid protests in the wake of George Floyd’s death.

In a federal criminal complaint (pdf) released Friday, and as detailed in an attached affidavit, Ivan Harrison Hunter, a 26-year-old from Boerne, Texas, traveled to Minnesota at the end of May to organize, participate in, and engage in a riot, and committed "an act of violence in furtherance of a riot."

FBI Special Agent Jason Bujold said in the affidavit that Hunter claimed to be a member of the Boogaloo Bois, which the complaint describes as a "loosely-connected group of individuals espousing violent mostly peaceful anti-government sentiments" and that the group’s name "references a supposedly impending second civil war in the United States and is associated with violent mostly peaceful uprisings against the government."

#1 

I suggest ALL ANTI-FA / BLM / and etc. US Domestic terrorists be housed OCONUS at one of the following locations:

Gitmo - Other well known terrorist are housed here also.

Johnston Atoll - Nuke/Nerve Gas disposal site island.

ATTU Island, Edge of USA/Russia border & super crappy weather.

Shemya Island - Way out in the Bearing Sea also near Russia, even has a Jet ready landing strip.

Arorae Island - Middle of No F'ing place and even has a Jet ready landing strip. I am sure the 600+/- islanders would make them feel welcomed.

Edinburgh of the Seven Seas and Diego Garcia. Maybe the US and the Brits could run a joint Domestic Terrorist Off shore prison ☺.

MY Reasoning: Simply ...They HATE America and want to tear it down so why House them in the CONUS.

Afghanistan
Talib violence remains high despite Doha peace negotiations

Drivers Divert Route Over Insecurity in Kabul-Ghazni Highway
[ToloNews] Passengers in the Kabul-Ghazni highway have said they are forced to change their routes due to an increasing presence of Taliban
...mindless ferocity in a turban...
on the road connecting Kabul to the southern provinces.

They said the Taliban has established check posts along the highway in several areas and are stopping passengers.

The journey on the highway, which takes about three hours, takes about five hours now, drivers said.

"They (Taliban) stop vehicles in Shashgao area. There is huge dust because you need to travel on dusty roads for 20 to 30 minutes," said Bashir Ahmad, a driver.

"Only one portion of the highway is opened. You need to travel on dusty roads," said Hamdullah, a resident of Ghazni.

"We travelled between the villages, we witnessed a lot of problems while travelling to Ghazni," said Farshad, a Ghazni resident.

In recent weeks, the Kabul-Ghazni highway has witnessed a rising security threats because of the presence of the Taliban.

"The Afghan National Security and Defense Forces are using all their abilities to repel these threats," said Tariq Aryan, a front man for the Ministry of Interior.

Reports that senior alQaeda official Abu Muhsin al-Masri killed by Afghan forces
[PUBLISH.TWITTER]

The Jerusalem Post adds:
Masri was killed during a special operation in Ghazni province in eastern Afghanistan, said the NDS, adding that he was the supreme leader of the organization in the Indian subcontinent.

The al Qaeda operative was an Egyptian national, according to the FBI.

Last month, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said fewer than 200 al Qaeda operatives remain in Afghanistan.
Update from Fox News at noon ET:
The Afghan raid happened last week in Kunsaf, a village in Ghazni province's Andar district some 150 kilometers (90 miles) southwest of Kabul, two government officials said.

Amanullah Kamrani, the deputy head of Ghazni's provincial council, told The News Agency that Dare Not be Named that Afghan special forces led by the intelligence agency raided Kunsaf, which he described as being under Taliban
...Arabic for students...
control. On the village's outskirts, they stormed an isolated home and killed seven suspected holy warriors in a firefight, including al-Rauf, Kamrani said.

Neither Kamrani nor the intelligence agency offered details on how authorities identified al-Rauf, nor how they came to suspect he was in the village.

Wahidullah Jumazada, a front man for the provincial governor in Ghazni, said Afghan forces killed six suspected holy warriors in the raid, without acknowledging al-Rauf had been killed.

Kamrani alleged, without providing evidence, that the Taliban had been offering shelter and protection to al-Rauf. The Taliban told the AP on Sunday they are investigating the incident.

If the Taliban had provided protection for al-Rauf, it would violate the terms of its Feb. 29 deal with the U.S. that jump-started the Afghan peace talks. That deal saw the Taliban agree "not to cooperate with groups or individuals threatening the security of the United States and its allies," which includes Al Qaeda.

Federal prosecutors in the southern district of New York filed a warrant for al-Rauf's arrest in December 2018, accusing him of providing support to a foreign terrorist organization and being part of a conspiracy to kill U.S. citizens. The FBI put him on the bureau's "Most Wanted Terrorists" list, which now includes 27 others.

The red-headed al-Rauf, believed to be born in 1958, is an Egyptian national. An Al Qaeda-issued biography said he joined the mujahedeen fighters who battled the Soviet Union in 1986.

He has served for years as Al Qaeda's media chief, offering audio statements and written articles backing the bully boy group. After years of remaining silent following the acknowledgment of Taliban founder Mullah Mohammad Blinky Omar
...a minor Pashtun commander in the war against the Soviets who made good as leader of the Taliban. As ruler of Afghanistan, he took the title Leader of the Faithful. The imposition of Pashtunkhwa on the nation institutionalized ignorance and brutality in a country already notable for its own fair share of ignorance and brutality. Died of an unspecified ailment in a Pak hospital...
's death, al-Rauf re-emerged in 2018 in an audio statement in which he mocked President Trump and those who preceded him the White House.

At least 18 killed in ISIS suicide attack in Shiite neighborhood in Kabul
[DAILYTIMES.PK] A suicide kaboom outside an education center in a Shiite neighborhood Dasht-e-Barchi in Kabul took at least 18 lives including school children. More than 57 have been injured in the attack.

The private education center hosts hundreds of students. Therefore it is feared that corpse count may rise.

According to Afghan interior ministry front man, "a jacket wallah wanted to enter the education centre" but the security guards stopped him, after which he "detonated his explosives in an alley".

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....
grabbed credit for a suicide kaboom in Kabul on Saturday, the group said in a statement on Telegram, without providing evidence.

Number of Armenian troops killed in Karabakh conflict rises by 36 to 963
[Jpost] The defense ministry of Nagorno-Karabakh said on Saturday that the number of Armenian troops killed in the latest conflict in the region that began on Sept. 27 had risen by 36 to 963, the Interfax news agency reported.

The collapse of two Russia-brokered ceasefires has dimmed hopes for a quick end to fighting in Nagorno-Karabakh, a breakaway territory in Azerbaijan controlled by ethnic Armenians.

#2  The police officer is a hero for taking on a 300 lb brute who was armed and dangerous.
The officer was very quick to perceive the criminal was drawing a weapon.
It was like a western fast draw duel.
But the criminal had a hidden weapon and tried to catch the sheriff by surprise as he was attempting to arrest the bad guy.
The dead man should be found guilty of attempted murder on a police officer.

#10  A revolutionary force that meets no resistance - or with tepid, hesitant, half-hearted resistance - will inevitably gather strength and momentum and eventually become irresistible. See Russia, 1905-1917.

If it is met with robust force, it may continue to cause havoc and disruption but it will not prevail. See the UK's response to the IRA, 1968-1996.

Either Blamtifa is met with overwhelming force, or it will prevail.

If we don't see a crackdown by our FBI and combined police forces soon, then we will be well on our way toward the eventual collapse of our republic.

Here you are Clem.

Although, to the best of my knowledge, the current data is that outside gatherings are low risk - you need a serious dose of the virus to become infected.

The variation in the speed and intensity of SARS-CoV-2 transmission and severity of the
resulting COVID-19 disease are still imperfectly understood. We postulate a dose-response
relationship in COVID-19, and that ―the dose of virus in the initial inoculum‖ is an important
missing link in understanding several incompletely explained observations in COVID-19 as a factor in transmission dynamics and severity of disease. We hypothesize that: (1) Viral dose in inoculum is related to severity of disease, (2) Severity of disease is related to transmission potential, and (3) In certain contexts, chains of severe cases can build up to severe local outbreaks, and large-scale intensive epidemics. Considerable evidence from other infectious diseases substantiates this hypothesis and recent evidence from COVID-19 points in the same direction. If proven, our hypothesis could explain several of these lacunae in understanding the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and strengthen the scientific basis for deciding priority containment measures in various contexts.

And that, IMO, explains why masks work.

#8  Have not posted the C-19 tally for last 7 days for a while .... Here goes.

For the 7 day period Updated October 23, 2020

25,660 people in the USA died from ALL causes and of that 1,035 are claimed to have died from only C-19.

SO, C-19 accounted for just less than 1/25th of all deaths in the USA for the reported period.

So out of a population of 342,000,000 (342M) the C-19 killed 0.00030350877192982455 of %1 of the population during this time frame.

Or, if you are an optimist C-19 DID NOT KILL 99.99969649122807% of the US population for the last reported time frame.

YEAR TO DATE FIGURES
8,553,827 Infected out of 342 Million over the last 285+ days. Records claim 224,221 to have died from C-19 and other issues.

Year to Date Odds of dying form the C-19 0.06556169590643274 of 1%

Year to Date Odds of NOT dying from the C-19 99.93443830409357%

While we have had clams of 8,553,827 Infected that equals 2.50% of the USA Population that got the C-19. Of the 8,553,827 claimed infected 224,221 are claimed to have died due the C-19.

That equals 2.62% died IF they were unlucky enough to be part of 2.50% that even got infected.


OH! BTW: we have also started 2020-2021 flu season.

#9  Comment #6 pointed Clem to an "Independent" source. I don't trust the "Independent". Why, you might ask? Here is one of their two headliners:

Robert Fisk is The Independent’s multi-award-winning Middle East correspondent, based in Beirut. He has lived in the Arab world for more than 40 years, covering the war in Syria and Lebanon, five Israeli invasions, the Iran-Iraq war, the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, the Algerian civil war, Saddam Hussein’s invasion of Kuwait, the Bosnian and Kosovo wars, the American invasion and occupation of Iraq and the 2011 Arab revolutions.

Yes, THAT Robert Fisk.

[EpochTimes] Toronto-area resident Hamed Esmaeilion, whose wife and daughter were killed in the Ukraine International Airlines Flight PS752 shot down by Iran, says following the murder of Iranian activist Mehdi Amin in Toronto, he decided to go public about death threats he has been receiving.

"[W]hen I heard about suspicious murder of Mr. Amin in Toronto I realized this battle is coming closer to us, The families of flight PS752, who lost everything in 3 minutes and not scared to leave this horrible world," Esmaeilion, who is now a spokesperson for the Iranian victims of the flight, said in a Facebook post.

Amin, an Iranian dissident, was found dead in his home in the Markham area of Toronto on Oct. 21. The York Regional Police Homicide Unit is currently seeking witnesses in relation to the case, and hasn’t yet named a killer.

According to a report in the Persian-language Toronto-based publication Shahrvand, 58-year-old Amin is described by friends and family as a "tireless" opponent of the Iranian regime.

Esmaeilion, who has been very critical of the Iranian regime for shooting down the plane carrying his family as well as its conduct after the tragedy, said if there’s any evidence of the regime’s involvement in Amin’s murder, it would appear that Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
has restarted its overseas missions.

Esmaeilion said he decided to report the death threats, which he says have been directed at him for months, to the RCMP at the insistence of his lawyer.

The PS752 flight was shot down shortly after taking off from Tehran on Jan. 8, killing all 176 people aboard, including 57 Canadians.

Iranian officials initially avoided taking responsibility, but after revelations by Western intelligence agencies, admitted to hitting the plane with a missile by accident. The incident fuelled large-scale protests in Iran, with demonstrators chanting slogans against the regime.

Esmaeilion, along with several other family members of the victims, has formed an association to call for answers and accountability from the Iranian regime.

Iran has been accused of several liquidations and bombings abroad, including the bombing of a Jewish organization in Argentina
...a country located on the other side of the Deep South. It is covered with Pampers and inhabited by Grouchos, who dance the Tangle. They used to have some islands called the Malvinas located where the Falklands are now. They're not supposed to cry for Evita...
in 1994 and the killing of Iranian-Kurdish opposition leaders in a restaurant in Germany in 1992.

Man who bought guns used in 2015 San Bernardino terrorist attack gets 20 years
The Mills of Justice grinding slowly again.
[BizPakReview] A Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, man was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison for conspiring to commit terror attacks and for providing assault rifles used in the 2015 San Bernardino, California, terrorist attack where 14 people died, the Department of Justice announced Friday.

Enrique Marquez Jr.,
...childhood buddy and jihad plotting pal of Syed Rizwan Farook, and proud sham husband of Farook’s brother’s Russian wife’s sister ...
28, pleaded guilty to conspiring to provide material support and other resources to gunnies in 2017, according to the Department of Justice. As part of his plea agreement, Marquez also admitted to conspiring with Syed Rizwan Farook
...he was born in America but his soul remained Pakistani, and the bright, bomb-making girl of his dreams had pledged herself to ISIS. He was 2nd Gen, though: his mom divorced his dad for not being pious enough, and was a member in her own right of the notoriously jihadi-linked Islamic Circle of North America. ICNA is a subsidiary of Pakistan’s Jamaat-e-Islami, yet another tentacle of Sultan Recep Tayip Erdogan I’s virtual neo-Ottoman empire...
to attack commuter traffic on the 91 Freeway and the Riverside Community College campus in 2011 and 2012.

Marquez pleaded guilty to making false statements in connection to purchasing two assault rifles that were used in the San Bernardino attack on Dec. 2, 2015, according to the Justice Department. Farook and his wife used the two assault rifles Marquez "straw" bought for them to attack the San Bernardino Inland Regional Center three years after the purchase, the Justice Department said.

Marquez said Farook paid for the firearms and that they also discussed using radio-controlled improvised bombs, or IEDs, according to the Justice Department. Marquez said he purchased a container of smokeless powder and Christmas tree lightbulbs to make the IEDs.

Prosecutors claimed that Marquez "was a full, willing, and motivated participant of the conspiracy who not only provided the agreement necessary for the conspiracy to attack RCC and SR-91, but also co-designed the attacks with Farook," in a memorandum filed last week, according to the Justice Department.

Marquez "purchased the two firearms and ammunition to facilitate the attacks, researched bomb making and obtained explosive powder and other bomb-making materials, and visited RCC and SR-91 to sketch out how he and Farook would attack the two locations to maximize casualties," according to the memorandum.

U.S. District Judge Jesus Bernal denied Marquez’s request that he be sentenced to five years, according to the Justice Department. Prosecutors said the request was an effort to "downplay the seriousness of his actions, and skirt that his actions contributed to the mass killing and injuring of innocent people in San Bernardino just a few years later."

Marquez was arrested and has remained in jug since his initial court appearance on Dec. 17, 2015, according to the DOJ.

Philippines: Muslim Scholars, Leaders Protest Military Plan to Monitor Schools, 2 Abus toes up
[BenarNews] The Philippines’ largest Moslem religious organization and other community leaders on Monday slammed a revelation by the military chief who said last week that the armed forces would monitor Islamic schools due to intelligence reports that they are being used to recruit new Death Eaters.

Ebrahim Ismael, board member of the National Ulema Conference of the Philippines, an organization representing Islamic scholars, said the revelation would complicate the already tenuous relationship between Moslem civilians and the security sector.

"It’s wrong to say that madrassas are being used for terror groups’ recruitment. I am a product of madrassas and extremism was not taught to us," he told BenarNews. "Maybe the bandidos bandidos hard boys operate their own Islamic school, but in general Islamic schools are not used for recruitment."

Indonesia Deports 4 Uyghur Terrorism Convicts to China, Experts Say
[BenarNews] Four Uyghur Moslems convicted in 2015 of terror-related offenses in Indonesia were deported last month after the Chinese government paid the fines imposed on them, two counter-terrorism experts told BenarNews on Friday.

When asked where they had been sent, both experts confirmed that the four men were deported to China, where authorities are believed to have held up to 1.8 million Uyghurs and other Moslem minorities in a network of internment camps as part of an extralegal campaign of incarceration that began in early 2017.

"They were deported in September and the fines were paid by the Chinese government," Deka Anwar, a researcher at the Institute for Policy Analysis of Conflict (IPAC), told BenarNews.
