The FBI and NSA sorry, Homeland Security have already declared them a terror group; while it doesn't matter if California puts them in a lesser category of evildoers, it would be a signal to certain univsities and communites to align themselves with historical inevitability.

Never happen. AntiFa is too tied to CA Democrats in power. They'll blather on about them, but that'll go away after elections.
No, Pappy, I don't, though I believe that President Trump will drive Antifa and its fellow enforcers out of the public arena during this term; I also see a strong possibility he'll be elected to a second term.
On the other hand, they have been yelling about being on the right side of history for eight years, only to be presented with pretty strong evidence that this science, too, is not settled. A little rubbing of noses in it can be a useful lesson..
[VOA News] A 106-year-old woman thought to be the world's oldest refugee is set to be deported after being denied asylum in Sweden.
Bibihal Uzbeki's son and grandson carried her on their backs as they fled from Kunduz in northeastern Afghanistan via Iran and The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... in the hopes of finding haven in Europe.
Their journey made headlines in 2015, when they were part of a huge influx of people who came to Europe ...also known as Moslem Lebensraum... from Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq and other countries. They traveled by foot and on trains through the Balkans before reaching Sweden.
Two years later, she and her 11 family members are living in the small village of Hova, in central Sweden.
Her family says Uzbeki has suffered a stroke since her application was rejected. They say traveling back to Afghanistan is out of the question for the bed-bound centenarian who is unable to see, speak or walk.

[Tolo News] The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) on Monday condemned the killing of Moslem-minority Rohingyas by the Myanmar military and said it was an act of "genocide".
MoFA said the military was committing crimes against humanity and called on the United Nations ...aka the Oyster Bay Chowder and Marching Society... (UN) to investigate the situation.
The Rohingya, a Moslem minority in predominantly Buddhist Myanmar, are considered some of the most persecuted people in the world. Myanmar, also known as Burma, considers them Bangladeshi and Bangladesh says they are Burmese.
But photos on social media show that a human disaster is unfolding in Myanmar.
"We condemn the crime against our brothers in Myanmar. It is a crime against humanity, against the minority Moslems living in Myanmar and it will not remain unanswered. We urge the international organizations and the human rights ...which are usually open to widely divergent definitions... institutions to investigate the issue," Sebghatullah Ahmad, foreign ministry deputy front man said.

[Al Jazeera] Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... alone should fund all steps to tackle widespread disease and hunger in war-torn Yemen, a top UN official has said. They should give me money, too.
Comments by David Beasley, Executive Director of the World Food Programme (WFP), were unusually forthright for such a high-ranking UN official in criticising one party in a conflict.
Calling for an end to the coalition's campaign, he accused the Saudi-led coalition of hampering provision of aid.
"Saudi Arabia should fund 100 percent [of the needs] of the humanitarian crisis in Yemen," Beasley told Rooters news agency on Monday.
"Either stop the war or fund the crisis. Option three is, do both of them."
A Saudi-led coalition embarked on a campaign in March 2015 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. Except for a tiny handfull of Jews everthing there is very Islamic... with the aim of dislodging Iran-backed Houthi ...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 Yemeni government has accused the Houthis of having ties to the Iranian government, which wouldn't suprise most of us. 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 ... rebels who control the capital and much of the north and restoring to power the internationally-recognised government of Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi.
Since fighting began, more than 10,000 people have been killed, and millions have been driven from their homes.
The country is also facing a health crisis, with more than 2,000 people having died from cholera since April, more than half a million people infected, and another 600,000 expected to contract the infection this year.

[IsraelTimes] British broadcaster says jihadist sought to enlist journalist to carry out terror attack similar to June assault that later took place at London Bridge
The Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're 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 the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... group reportedly attempted to recruit an undercover BBC journalist to carry out a terror attack at London Bridge similar to a recent combined car-ramming and stabbing attack claimed by the terror group at the historic site.
In a BBC report to be aired Monday evening, a journalist for the British broadcaster described his experience communicating with an IS operative on an encrypted messaging service during a period of several weeks in July 2016, during which the terrorist implored him to carry out an attack at London Bridge.
"He was trying to persuade me into carrying out an attack and he also gave me the option of either doing it alone or along with a team," said the journalist, whose identity was not disclosed.
The journalist also said the same IS recruiter told him in December 2016 to watch tutorials on the dark web produced by the terror group.
"One of them showed how to use a vehicle to kill people," the news hound said. "The other showed how to use knives and homemade bombs for maximum impact."
"Finally there was a description of how to create a fake boom jacket and how it can be used to stop the police from attacking you if you are standing next to civilians," he added.
The report included one of the exchanges between the journalist and the IS member.
"I am nervous," the message says. "No need. Keep asking Allah for help," the IS operative responds.
The report did not provide any context for the exchange.
The BBC said British authorities knew of the broadcaster’s communication with the terror group.
The attack plan laid out by the IS member was nearly identical to the June 2017 terror attack claimed by the group at London Bridge.
During the attack, Khuram Butt, Rachid Redouane and Youssef Zaghba mowed into pedestrians on London Bridge and then embarked on a stabbing spree at an adjacent nightlife area.
Eight people were killed in the attack, while the attackers ‐ who also wore fake boom jackets during the assault ‐ were rubbed out by police.
The London attack was the third this year that IS has claimed in Britannia, after a bombing in Manchester in late May and a similar attack in the heart of London in March.

[DW] The charity MOAS, which has rescued some 40,000 migrants colonists over the past three years, is to end its current operations off the Libyan coast. Instead it will take aid to the Rohingya who have fled violence in Myanmar.
The Malta-based Migrant Offshore Aid Station (MOAS) on Monday cited an "increasingly complex context" for its decision to suspend operations to rescue migrants colonists in the Mediterranean.
MOAS criticized the EU's efforts to stem the latest wave of migrants colonists plying the main route from Libya to Italia or Spain, amid attempts by Brussels to force Libya to take refugees back and hold them in processing centers.
The charity said Libya was not a safe place to return the migrants colonists and that conditions were basic.
"At the moment it is unclear what is going on in Libya to the detriment of the most vulnerable people there," the charity said in a statement.
"MOAS does not want to become part of a mechanism where there is no guarantee of safe harbor or welcome for those being assisted and rescued at sea," it added.
Instead, the aid group said it would transfer its rescue ship Phoenix to the Bay of Bengal to help persecuted Rohingya Moslems fleeing Myanmar.
Since it began operations in the Mediterranean in 2014, MOAS has helped in the rescue or transfer of some 40,000 migrants colonists. In that period, some 600,000 boat migrants colonists have reached Italia.
But its work has been complicated in recent months by a stepped up response to the migrant issue by European governments. The EU is funding a project to equip and train the Libyan coastguard, whose boats have fallen into disrepair following years of neglect in the wake of the fall of longtime dictator Moamar Qadaffy. The Italian navy has been deployed in recent weeks to repair Libyan ships.
MOAS becomes the fourth group to stop patrols in the Mediterranean amid rising tensions with Libya and Italia over where rescued migrants colonists should be taken.
Last month, a Libyan coastguard boat intercepted a charity ship and ordered it to sail to Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... or risk being fired on. In response, Doctors Without Borders, followed by Save the Children and Germany's Sea Eye suspended their operations. They said their crews could no longer work safely.
The exodus leaves just Proactiva Open Arms, Sea Watch and SOS Mediterranee still running rescue operations. On Monday, the Aquarius, operated by SOS Mediterranee, was the only rescue ship in the Mediterranean.
The aid groups have also faced accusations of collusion with people smugglers in North Africa, which all 10 charities have denied.
Since July, there has been a sharp drop in departures from the Libyan coast. Some 15,373 migrants colonists arrived in Italia by boat in July and August, compared with 44,846 in the same period last year.
Some 13,000 migrants colonists have died in the central Mediterranean since 2014 trying to make the crossing, the International Organization for Migration estimates.
The transfer of MOAS' operations to Asia comes as some 90,000 Rohingya Moslems have fled violence in Myanmar's Rakhine state to neighboring Bangladesh.
MOAS said it planned to provide aid and humanitarian assistance to the Rohingya people.

It's OK, she's his cousin so he's allowed to do that.
[DAWN] The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... on Monday accused German politicians of surrendering to populism and urged them to give up their "careless language" after Chancellor Angela Merkel ...current chancellor of Germany and the impetus behind Germany's remarkably ill-starred immigration program. Merkel used to be referred to by Germans as Mom... said she would seek to end talks on Ankara's accession to the European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... .Relations have been strained between Ankara and Berlin since the crackdown that followed last year's failed coup in Turkey that has seen more than 50,000 people tossed in the calaboose Drop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try! Ottoman Turkish European Union Affairs Minister Omer Celik said discussion over "ending negotiations with Turkey is an attack on the EU's founding values".
In a TV showdown with challenger Martin Schulz on Sunday ahead of a September election, Merkel said it was "clear that Turkey should not become a member of the European Union".
Merkel said she would discuss with EU counterparts if "we can end these membership talks", adding: "I don't see (Turkey) ever joining and I had never believed that it would happen."

[THEHANSINDIA] For the first time, Pakistain-based terror groups like the LeT and the JeM were named on Monday for causing violence in the region by the BRICS Summit that also asserted that those responsible for committing, organising or supporting terror acts must be held accountable.
In a significant diplomatic win for India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi was joined by Chinese President Xi Jinping, Russian President Vladimir Putin ...Second and fourth President and sixth of the Russian Federation and the first to remain sober. Putin is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from polonium poisoning. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to Putin. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead... , Brazilian President Michael Temer and South African President Jacob Zuma in strongly denouncing terror activities of such groups, as they expressed determination to collectively fight the scourge.
The 43-page 'Xiamen Declaration', adopted at the end of the five-nation BRICS plenary, stressed on the need for immediate cessation of violence in Afghanistan.
It expressed "concern" over the security situation in the region and the violence caused by the Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... , ISIS, al-Qaeda and its affiliates, including Eastern Turkistan Islamic Movement, Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, the Haqqani network, Lashkar-e-Taiba ...the Army of the Pure, an Ahl-e-Hadith terror organization founded by Hafiz Saeed. LeT masquerades behind the Jamaat-ud-Dawa facade within Pakistain and periodically blows things up and kills people in India. Despite the fact that it is banned, always an interesting concept in Pakistain, the organization remains an blatant tool and perhaps an arm of the ISI... , Jaish-e-Mohammad ...literally Army of Mohammad, a Pak-based Deobandi terror group founded by Maulana Masood Azhar in 2000, after he split with the Harkat-ul-Mujaheddin. In 2002 the government of Pervez Musharraf banned the group, which changed its name to Khaddam ul-Islam and continued doing what it had been doing before without missing a beat... , Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain (TTP) and Hizbut Tahrir ...an al-Qaeda recruiting organization banned in most countries. It calls for the reestablishment of the Caliphate... . Significantly, the ETIM is active in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of China and seeks to establish a separate "East Turkistan".
According to officials, Modi raised the issue of terrorism strongly at the BRICS Summit and was joined by other leaders, who expressed willingness to fight this menace. "For the first time, specific listing of terror organizations has been made (in the BRICS declaration)," Secretary (East) in the external affairs ministry Preeti Saran told news hounds.
The inclusion of Pakistain-based terror groups in the declaration is also significant as it indicated a slight shift in the Chinese view towards terror groups operating out of Pakistain.
During the last BRICS Summit in Goa, China did not allow the inclusion of Pakistain-based terror groups in the declaration despite the fact that the Summit was taking place within weeks of the Uri terror strike carried out by a Pakistain-based holy warrior group.

[Jpost] The IDF is set to launch a large-scale exercise in preparation for a potential faceoff with the Shi'ite terror group, that continues to pose an imminent danger to the country's security.
The IDF is set to launch a large-scale exercise in preparation for a potential faceoff with the Shi'ite terror group, that continues to pose an imminent danger to the country's security.
Amid rising tensions on Israel’s northern border, the IDF will be launching Monday evening its largest drill in close to 20 years, with tens of thousands of soldiers from all branches of the army simulating a war with Hezbollah.
The drill is unique and unprecedented in scope, the army has affirmed, and it will enable forces to maintain a high level of readiness in an ever-changing region.
According to military assessments, while it is unlikely that Hezbollah attack Israel in the near future, the northern border remains the most explosive and both sides have warned that the next conflict between the two would be devastating.
The IDF is preparing itself for a different kind of war on the northern front. According to the military, while the drill itself is set to focus only on the border with Leb, a potential future altercation would not be contained only in the part of the border and would spread to the entirety of the northern border.
While the primary threat posed by Hezbollah remains its missile arsenal, the IDF believes that the next war will see the terror group trying to bring the fight into the home front by infiltrating into Israeli communities to inflict significant civilian and military casualties.
The two-week long drill will focus on countering the increased capabilities of Hezbollah and is expected to include simulations of evacuating communities which sit on the border with Leb.
During the drill, soldiers will play the role of civilians being evacuated, but with close to 1 million Israelis living in Israel’s north, an estimated quarter million would be evacuated in case a war breaks out with the Shiite Lebanese terror group.
Named after Meir Dagan, the former head of the Mossad, the exercise will see thousands of reservists and all the different branches of the IDF- Air Force, Navy, Ground Forces Intelligence, Cyber- drilling their ability to work side by side in case such a war should break out.
In an attempt to secure the exercise but also simulate what it would be like in case of a real war, no soldiers will be allowed to bring in their phones or any other digital devices.
Hezbollah has rebuilt its arsenal since the last war fought between the group and Israel back in 2006, with at least 100,000 short-range rockets and several thousand more missiles that can reach central Israel. According to some Israeli analysts, the next war with Hezbollah might see 1,500-2,000 rockets shot into Israel per day, compared to the 150-180 per day during the Second Leb war 10 years ago in which 121 soldiers and 44 non-combatants were killed and over 2,000 injured.
In addition to having rebuilt their arsenal, Hezbollah has changed from a terror group fighting guerilla style targets to an army with battalions, brigades and over 40,000 fighters who have gained immeasurable battlefield experience from fighting in Syria on the side of Hereditary President-for-Life Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad The Scourge of Hama... But while the threat still looms large, Israel has made it clear that it will continue to work to prevent the group from acquiring advanced weaponry, striking weapons convoys in Syria destined for the group at least 100 times in the past five years.
[Ynet] Following stone throwing incident at Jewish worshipers returning from Cave of the Patriarchs, legal aid organization Honenu demands IDF destroy balcony from which stones were supposedly thrown.
The legal aid organization Honenu submitted a relatively unusual request a few days ago to IDF Central Command Chief, Maj. Gen. Roni Numa, seeking to demolish the balcony of a Paleostinian home in Hebron,
...Hamas Central in the West Bank...
from which stones were supposedly thrown at Jewish worshipers.
About a month ago, on Friday evening, when several Jewish worshipers returned from the Cave of the Patriarchs to Kiryat Arba, stones were thrown at them from the balcony of one of the houses where a Paleostinian lives.
As a result of the stone-throwing, a 16-year-old boy's eye was injured, requiring medical treatment and his hospitalization for several days.
At the end of the event, the worshipers were rescued by IDF forces.
Following the incident, attorney Haim Bleicher of the Zionist legal aid organization Honenu sent a precedent-setting demand to Numa to destroy the balcony, which he claims was built illegally.
"In 2012, I appealed to the Hebron Brigade commander against the construction of the said balcony," wrote Bleicher, who added that the balcony was built despite the Hebron Agreement, which stipulates that a special construction permit is required to build at a height of over 6 in a building that oversees a street junction.
Bleicher added that "the balcony oversees the junction at a strategic point where people travel from the direction of the Cave (of the Patriarchs) towards Kiryat Arba. The security risk posed by the balcony is obvious.
"On August 12, an Arab crowd gathered on nearby roofs and on the balcony and stoned groups of Jews who had returned from praying in the Cave of the Patriarchs. The destruction of the balcony will be an appropriate response to the event and will reduce the risk posed by it."
Since the letter was sent, the organization has yet to receive a response.
[AlMasdar] The United Kingdom has withdrawn its troops from the coalition-operated al-Tanf base in Syria’s southwestern desert and de facto ended all military assistance hitherto provided to Free Syrian Army ... the more palatable version of the Syrian insurgency, heavily influenced by the Moslem Brüderbund... (FSA) affiliated mercenaries in the region.
Just like US military personnel who were also part of the so-called "moderate opposition" training program in southern Syria, British special forces troops operated from a coalition base established at the town of al-Tanf near Syria’s border with Iraq.
Virtually all of the FSA fighters who were part of the Pentagon-vetted training program had, in previous years, fought pro-government forces in Syria’s Deir Ezzor region alongside the al-Qaeda-linked Jahbat al-Nusra ...formally Jabhat an-Nusrah li-Ahli al-Sham (Support Front for the People of the Levant), also known as al-Qaeda in the Levant. They aim to establish a pan-Arab caliphate. Not the same one as the Islamic State, though .. ... terrorist group.
According to the UK-based Daily Telegraph news group, the British wind-down of support to FSA hard boyz began in June of this year when at least 20 special forces troops were confirmed to have withdrawn from the al-Tanf base.
As of very recently, the remainder of the British contingent at al-Tanf has departed taking with them any further UK support for FSA hard boyz in southern Syria.
The coalition-backed hard boyz at al-Tanf have proved themselves almost entirely more interested in fighting against forces led by the Syrian government in southern Syria rather than fighting ISIS, which was meant to be their official purpose as Western proxies in the region.
