You might not know it, but an actress’s death made might have saved your life)
Jayne Mansfield was an American actress. She was also a singer and nightclub entertainer as well as one of the early Playboy Playmates. She was a major Hollywood sex symbol during the 1950s and early 1960s while under contract at 20th Century Fox. She was also known for her well-publicized personal life and publicity stunts, such as "wardrobe malfunctions
[BREITBART] Climate activists demanded an end to capitalism, "black liberation", and the abolition of police at a demonstration outside the United Nations ...the Oyster Bay money pit... COP26 summit in Glasgow, Scotland.Gathering in George Square in central Glasgow on Saturday, an array of climate activists, including those from indigenous communities in South America, Asia, and Africa, came together to denounce Western imperialism and the alleged racism inherent in climate change.
Edinburgh University medical student and climate activist Mikaela Loach said that the UK government’s decision to go forward with oil exploration projects was "worse than hypocrisy", saying that "it is violence".
"These are last resort times," she said demanding "audacious" action to confront the government.
"We must demand an end to capitalism. We must demand an end to white supremacy ...the pernicious doctrine that laws were intended to be obeyed, that society works better when people don't pour shreiking from their places of worship every Friday for a weekend of rioting over insults real or imagined; and that cannibalism, beastiality, incest, murder, theft, rape, and similar activities are bad. A Dead White European (which invalidates his opinion) philosopher once opined that societies thrive when a person's word can be relied upon, and that a society which puts individual happiness first will invariably fail. Strangely enough, other successful societies, such as China, Japan, Korea, and those kinds of places could also be lumped with white supremacist societies, since they push the same values... . We must demand black liberation. We must abolish prisons and the police," she proclaimed.
"Our demands should not be toned down or palatable. They should worry, disrupt, and challenge the status quo," Loach said.
Loach announced in May that she would be suing the British government’s Oil and Gas Authority in order to stop public subsidies for fossil fuel energy companies.

[AnNahar] Four women have been found dead in the northern city of Mazar-e-Sharif, a front man for Afghanistan's Taliban ...Arabic for students... government said on Saturday, following reports that activists had been killed.
Two suspects have been arrested after the four bodies were found at a house in the city's fifth police district, interior ministry front man Qari Sayed Khosti said in a video statement.
"The arrested people have admitted in initial interrogation that the women were invited to the house by them. Further investigations are under way and the case has been referred to court," he said.
Khosti did not identify the victims, but a source in Mazar-e-Sharif told AFP that at least one of the dead was a women's rights activist, whose family does not wish to speak to the media. "Please don't kill us!"
A report on BBC Persian, citing civil society sources, said the four women were friends and colleagues who had hoped to travel to Mazar-e-Sharif airport for a flight out of the country.
A rights group source told AFP on condition of anonymity that the women received a call that they thought was an invitation to join an evacuation flight and were picked up by a car, only to be found dead later.
The Taliban, who seized power in Afghanistan in August after a 20-year war against the former US-backed government, are a deeply conservative Islamist movement.
Under their last period of rule women were banned from public life and since the group's return to government many rights activists have fled the country.
Some women who remained have held street protests in Kabul demanding that their rights be respected and that girls be allowed to attend public high schools.
Taliban fighters have broken up some of the protests, and the government has threatened to arrest any journalists covering unauthorized gatherings.
But the movement's leaders have insisted that their fighters are not authorized to kill activists and have promised that any who do will be punished.
[ToloNews] 25 ISIS affiliates surrendered to the Islamic Emirate through the mediation of tribal elders in the eastern province of Nangarhar The unfortunate Afghan province located adjacent to Mohmand, Kurram, and Khyber Agencies. The capital is Jalalabad. The province was the fief of Younus Khalis after the Soviets departed and one of his sons is the current provincial Taliban commander. Nangarhar is Haqqani country.. , provincial officials said on Saturday.
The head of the Nangarhar intelligence department, Dr. Basheer, said that these ISIS fighters were active in various parts of the province.
The surrendered ISIS fighters were granted amnesty by the order of Mullah Hibatullah Akhundzada, the supreme leader of the Islamic Emirate.
"Today 25 members of ISIS surrendered to the Islamic Emirate," Dr. Basheer said. "In total 250 ISIS affiliates surrendered to the Islamic Emirate in over the past two months. They have been pardoned and they don’t fight against us anymore. If they act against their commitments, they will be punished."
The tribal elders said the villagers would set fire to the homes of those who broke their commitments.
"We took an oath from the surrendered ISIS members that they will not carry out destructive actions. If they try to bother the people and create insecurity or fight against the Islamic Emirate, their houses will be set on fire and they will be kicked out of the country," said Nasir Momand, a tribal elder.
The surrenderers said that they wanted to continue their normal living.
"We were previously carrying out actions against the Taliban ...mindless ferocity in a turban... but now the Islamic Emirate give us amnesty and we came and surrendered to them. We regret our actions that we performed in the past," said Ziauddin, a surrendered member of ISIS.

[NewsFrontInfo] Estonian soldiers serving at the Gao military base in Mali mistakenly opened fire on British soldiers.
These things do happen from time to time, and everyone is unhappy about it afterward.
It is noted that the British military did not follow the security procedures when approaching the base. No one was injured during the incident, according to Postimees.
"The shooting incident occurred when a minibus carrying British troops approached the military base. Estonian soldiers guarding the base opened fire on the car, as the British did not inform the base personnel of their approach in accordance with the rules," the message said.
This information was confirmed by the head of the press service of the Estonian defense forces Taavi Karotamm. According to him, the country's soldiers have faithfully complied with all the rules stipulated by the procedure.
[AlAhram] The Saudi-led military coalition in 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... said Saturday it has killed more than 150 more Iran's Houthi sock puppets ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him... rebels in the past 24 hours in raids around the northern pro-government bastion of Marib.
The coalition, which backs Yemen's internationally recognised government, has reported near-daily strikes over the past month against the Iran-backed Houthis, each time claiming high losses.
"Fourteen military vehicles were destroyed and more than 157 terrorist elements eliminated" in the latest raids, the coalition said in a statement carried by the Saudi state news agency SPA.
The air strikes targeted two regions of oil-rich Marib province, al-Jawf in the north and the south's al-Bayda, it said, as well as Sirwah, west of Marib city.
The Houthis began a major push to seize the city in February and, after a lull, they renewed their offensive in September.
Marib is the embattled government's last stronghold in the north. A loyalist military official acknowledged Tuesday that the Houthis have made advances on the ground.
Yemen's civil war began in 2014 when the Houthis seized the capital Sanaa, prompting Saudi-led forces to intervene to prop up the government the following year.
Tens of thousands of people have died and millions displaced in what 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... calls the world's worst humanitarian crisis.
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Irish police said on Saturday they had arrested a man on suspicion of making threats, with national media reporting he was suspected of threatening to kill a British MP.
The arrest came after Conservative MP David Amess was stabbed to death last month, prompting concerns over the level of threat faced by politicians and calls for better security.
The Garda, Ireland’s police service, said in a statement that they arrested a 41-year-old man in Cork in southwestern Ireland on Saturday morning "on suspicion of making threats against a person from outside this jurisdiction."
Irish police said officers seized a number of electronic devices while searching the residential property.
RTE national broadcaster reported that "it is understood that the person targeted by the alleged threat is a Westminster MP."
The Irish Times reported that the investigation concerned "threats to kill a female Labour MP."
It said it understood that the MP had alerted police after she received a phone call on October 18 in which a person threatened to kill her. This was three days after the murder of Amess.
The Irish Times reported that the man, a Brit, was arrested at a rented apartment early Saturday morning and taken to Dublin for questioning.
A 25-year-old man accused of murdering Amess in the southeastern English resort of Leigh-on-Sea will go on trial next year.
The Crown Prosecution Service has said the murder has a "terrorist connection" with "religious and ideological motivations."
British police on October 27 arrested a man after senior Labour politician Angela Rayner received a string of threatening and abusive phone calls.

[IsraelTimes] 12 others arrested in incident that may be linked to illegal immigration, authorities say; one of those involved is believed to be Paleostinian
Mallorca police arrested 12 passengers and were seeking 12 more Saturday who fled a plane during an emergency landing in an "unprecedented" incident possibly linked to illegal immigration, officials said.
The unauthorized exodus followed a passenger apparently being taking ill on a flight from Morocco to The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor... , with the plane forced to stage an emergency landing at Palma de Mallorca, one of Spain’s busiest airports.
"Twelve people have been arrested and 12 more have yet to be found," Aina Calvo, the Spanish government’s representative in the Balearic Islands, told a news conference.
"Such events have never taken place before at any airport in Spain."
Police earlier said a passenger "apparently suffered a diabetic coma and was taken by ambulance to hospital with a companion" but on arrival was found to be fine and discharged.
"He was arrested on suspicion of encouraging illegal immigration and violating Spanish immigration law," a police statement said, noting his lover companion had fled.
During the evacuation, another 21 passengers got out of the plane at around 7:00 p.m. (1800 GMT) on Friday evening and ran onto the runway, Calvo said, prompting a massive police search that forced the closure of the airport until around midnight.
Another person was arrested for "insults and aggression" inside the plane, raising to 24 the total number involved in the incident — most of them Moroccans except for one "who we believe is Paleostinian," she said, adding that the incident was "unprecedented."
Investigators were examining "whether what happened at the airport was an orchestrated, planned event or an isolated incident", she said.
"At this stage we do not have any information that allows us to confirm that this was an orchestrated operation... or part of a pre-determined plan. But the investigation is still open."
Calvo said the plane had been on the tarmac "for quite some time" before the other passengers decided to disembark.
"At this point, we cannot clearly say why these 21 people decided to rush onto the runway."
Those that fled the plane would be prosecuted for non-compliance with air safety regulations and irregular entry into Spain, and would be deported to their country of origin, Calvo said.
None of them had applied for political asylum, she added.
Following the investigation, medical emergency protocols would be reviewed to see if anything needed changing in light of the incident, she added.
According to aircraft tracker FlightRadar24, the plane was an Air Arabia Maroc Airbus A320 flying between Casablanca and Istanbul.
During the incident, 13 planes bound for Palma were rerouted to other airports, and 16 departing flights suffered significant delays, AENA said.
[AlAhram] Rescuers supplied around 800 migrants colonists on a charity ship off Italia with emergency food and warm blankets Saturday, as their appeal for a safe port went unanswered and they braced for another night at sea.
German NGO Mission Lifeline said its ship Rise Above had delivered "urgently needed relief supplies" for the hundreds of people stuck on board fellow charity ship Sea Eye 4, including over 200 minors.
The Sea Eye 4 had already been carrying nearly 400 people pulled to safety at sea when it raced to the rescue of another 400 people crowded onto a wooden boat on Thursday.
The Ocean Viking, a charity vessel run by SOS Mediterranee, is also looking for a port for over 300 people it has rescued, bringing the number of migrants colonists seeking to disembark in Italia to over 1,100.
There were "many children under the age of 10" and five pregnant women on board the Sea Eye 4, the NGO said in a statement, adding that over 200 people had been treated so far at the onboard hospital.
"At present, we receive more support from the small Dresden-based sea rescue organization Mission Lifeline than from all EU states together!" Sea Eye chairman Gorden Isler was quoted as saying.
"Our crew is working at the limits of what is humanly possible. The ship must be allowed to dock immediately to ensure the safety of all those rescued and the crew," he said.
Italia is one of the main points of entry into Europa ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... for migrants colonists from North Africa, mainly from Libya and Tunisia, with tens of thousands of people seeking to cross the central Mediterranean each year.
Under previous interior minister Matteo Salvini's "closed ports" policy, European states had to agree to take a certain number of rescued migrants colonists before the charity ships were allowed to dock.
Isler said "negotiations on the distribution of the rescued" should be conducted after the migrants colonists land.
Nearly 55,000 migrants colonists have disembarked in Italia this year, compared to just under 30,000 last year, according to figures from the interior ministry.
[ToloNews] The Ottoman Turkish border forces detained 149 Afghan migrants colonists in the vicinity of the border with Iran, the country’s media reported on Saturday.
The reports said that one individual was arrested on charges of smuggling migrants colonists.
The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor... has recently intensified security measures to prevent a new wave of migrants colonists to its soil.
Human rights watchdogs expressed concern over the dire state of the Afghan migrants colonists along the country's border.
"We call on the regional and world countries--if (you) don’t give us a hand and don’t provide assistance for the migrants colonists, don’t take actions which are in contrast with the international law," said Lal Gul Lal, head of the Afghanistan Human Rights Organization.
According to reports, the Afghan migrants colonists have been struggling with fierce challenges along the borders of neighboring, regional and world countries.
A video went viral on social media showing human traffickers treating migrants colonists poorly.
"Unfortunately, the regional countries have a violent mostly peaceful behavior with the Afghan migrants colonists," said Farddin Fedayee, a civil rights activist.
With the fall of the former government, a great number of Afghans have sought to either legally or illegally flee the country.
"We urge the world to support Afghanistan, thus the people will overcome the economic problems and no one will be forced to flee the country and cause another wave of migrants colonists to flow," said Bilal Karimi, deputy front man for the Islamic Emirate.
A human rights ...which are usually entirely different from personal liberty... group earlier in a report blamed Turkey for violation of international law regarding the migrants colonists. The report said that the Ottoman Turkish forces had beaten Afghan migrants colonists.
[GREATERKASHMIR] Security forces on Saturday launched a Cordon and Search Operation in a few villages of Thanamandi area of J&K's Rajouri district.An official told Greater 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.... that the CASO was launched in the villages following inputs about the presence of forces of Evil in the area.
While searches in the area are going on to nab the suspected bully boys, the main road between Thanamandi sub-division and Rajouri district headquarter that also connects with Baba Ghulam Shah Badshah shrine of Shahdra Sharif has been sealed in a bid to prevent the forces of Evil escape from the cordon.

[Rudaw] Iraqi forces and the Peshmerga on Saturday launched a joint security operation to clear out 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.... (ISIS) remnants in Nineveh province, a senior military official told Rudaw, as the holy warrior group remains a serious security threat.
The operation’s main focus is in the areas of Kashaf al-Ulya and Kashaf al-Sufla south of djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... where ISIS is active, spokesperson for Joint Operations Command Major General Tahsin al-Khafaji told Rudaw’s Hawar Jalaladin.
Around 150 to 200 members of the group are present in the area, he added.
Last month, the deputy Peshmerga minister said a joint brigade would be formed after Iraq’s October 10 election. Khafaji described Saturday’s operation as their "first" in this area of Nineveh.
Iraq’s Security Media Cell announced the start of the operation earlier Saturday morning. It is expected to end in the next "two hours," according to Khafaji who was optimistic about the outcome.
Sirwan Barzani, commander of Peshmerga forces’ Gwer-Makhmour front said in a tweet late Saturday evening that "All ISIS cells were neutralised in a joint operation by the Peshmerga, Coalition Forces, and Iraqi Army", explaining that the joint operations were necessary to end the actions of the terrorist group.

[IsraelTimes] Government says liquidation attempt failed, premier in good health; 7 security guards are injured
Iraq’s Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi survived an liquidation attempt with an armed drone that targeted his residence early Sunday, and is unharmed, officials said.
Two Iraqi officials told The News Agency that Dare Not be Named that seven of his security guards were maimed in the attack which occurred in Baghdad’s heavily fortified Green Zone area. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to give official statements.
The prime minister tweeted shortly after the attack: "The rockets of treason will not shake one bit of the steadfastness and determination of the heroic security forces."
"I am fine and among my people. Thank God," he added in the post.
In a statement, the government said the drone tried to hit al-Kadhimi’s home, adding that he was "unharmed and in good health." Residents of Baghdad heard the sound of a kaboom followed by gunfire from the direction of the capital’s heavily fortified Green Zone, which houses foreign embassies and government offices.
The statement released by state-run media said the failed liquidation attempt was with "a booby-trapped drone that tried to target his residence in the Green Zone."
"The security forces are taking the necessary measures in connection with this failed attempt ...Curses! Foiled again!... ," it said.
It was not clear who was behind the attack, nor did anyone immediately claim responsibility. It comes amid a stand-off between security forces and pro-Iran ...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... Shiite militias whose supporters have been camped outside the Green Zone for nearly a month after they rejected the results of Iraq’s parliamentary elections in which they were the biggest losers.
Protests turned deadly Friday when the demonstrators marched toward the Green Zone. There was an exchange of fire in which one protester was killed. Dozens of security forces were maimed. al-Khadimi ordered an investigation to determine what sparked the festivities and who violated orders not to open fire.
The United States, the UN Security Council and others have praised the Oct. 10 election, which was mostly violence-free and without major technical glitches.
Following the vote, militia supporters had pitched tents near the Green Zone, rejecting the election results and threatening violence unless their demands for a recount were met.
The unsubstantiated claims of voter fraud have cast a shadow over the vote. The standoff with the militia supporters has also increased tensions among rival Shiite factions that could reflect on the street and threaten Iraq’s newfound relative stability.
The election was held months ahead of schedule in response to mass protests in late 2019, which saw tens of thousands in Baghdad and predominantly Shiite southern provinces rally against endemic corruption, poor services and unemployment. They also protested against the heavy-handed interference of neighboring Iran in Iraq’s affairs through Iran-backed militias.
The militias lost some popularity since the 2018 vote, when they made big election gains. Many hold them responsible for suppressing the 2019 protests, and for challenging the state’s authority.
The biggest gains were made by influential Shiite holy manMoqtada Tater al-Sadr ...hereditary Iraqi holy man and leader of a political movement in Iraq. He had his hereditary rival, al-Khoei, assassinated only a few hours after the holy rival's appearance out of exile in 2003. Formerly an Iranian catspaw, lately he's gagged over some of their more outlandish antics, then went back to catspawry... , who won the largest number of parliament seats, 73 out of 329. While he maintains good relations with Iran, al-Sadr publicly opposes external interference in Iraq’s affairs.
The protests appeared to be aimed at pressuring al-Sadr to ensure that Iran-aligned factions are part of the next Cabinet. As the winner, al-Sadr’s bloc will seek coalition partners and name the prime minister.
Our informed Iraqi sources confirm now that Iraqi PM @MAKadhimi was targeted with two drones & not one. One hit the house & the other was intercepted! Meanwhile Iraqi PM continues tweeting asking his people to maintain calm & self control & for Security Forces to maintain order!

[AlAhram] A landmine explosion killed seven people, including a child, in Homs province of central Syria on Saturday, a war monitor reported.
It detonated as a vehicle with the seven on board passed through a desert road outside the historic city of Palmyra, the Britannia-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
"It destroyed the vehicle and killed all the passengers inside, which included two women, a child, and four men," said the monitor, which relies on a network of sources inside Syria.
Explosives left in fields, along roads or even in buildings by all sides in Syria's decade-long conflict have maimed thousands of civilians and killed hundreds of others.
The Landmine and Cluster Munition Monitor recorded 182 casualties last year in Syria, mainly from cluster munition remnants.
The figure accounted for nearly half of the 360 cluster munition casualties documented across the world in 2020, according to the watchdog.
It has recorded a total of 4,099 cluster munition casualties in Syria, including 2,102 in attacks and 1,997 from cluster munition remnants.
Across Syria, one in three populated communities are thought to be contaminated by explosive ordnance, the United Nations ...the Oyster Bay money pit... said in March.
One in two people are at risk from explosive ordnance contamination, it added in a report.
Syria's war has killed nearly half a million people and displaced millions since it began with the brutal repression of anti-government protests in 2011.
