[NJ] An Edgewater man has been arrested on accusations he spouted off threats on Twitter against the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), including "We need to kill all ICE agents," authorities said.
On Friday morning, Carlos Alejandro Tariche, 22, was arrested and charged with one count of interstate communications containing threats to injure, U.S. Attorney Craig Carpenito said in a statement.
Using his Twitter account, Tariche made several glancing and direct threats against ICE agents, referencing Elliot Rodgers, the man who stabbed and shot six people to death in 2014 in Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, before killing himself.
"Why can’t mass shootings occur at @ICEgov buildings them mfs need to get smoked," tweeted Tariche on Dec. 11, according to the complaint against him.
Tariche also posted, "You must’ve heard I paint houses," a euphemism that refers to killing people, itself a reference from the Martin Scorsese film "The Irishman," the complaint said.
Investigators physically located Tariche by examining his tweets and other social media accounts and finding out where he was logging on. He was arrested by agents from Homeland Security Investigations, the investigative arm of ICE.

[AlAhram] Security directorates deployed security in main streets and houses of worship to maintain security and respond promptly and decisively to those who attempt to disturb celebrations.
Coptic Egyptians, who make up 90 percent of all Christians in the country, celebrate Christmas on 7 January.
Egypt is also home to a number of other denominations which observe Christmas on 25 December.

I hear that the Egyptians will have an armored D-9 bulldozer "rodeo" as part of the celebrations.
As Ex-President Obama said, several generation of "American" military instructors who must have bitched endlessly about U.S. politics while still being "American", seem to have had a beneficial effect on the Egyptian Army behaving like a real "national" army instead of a klan/tribal group of enforcers.
I will probably not live long enough to hear what went on before the Muslim Brotherhood [Them's who put Fascism in Islamo/Fascism, as if Mo's theology needed any help.] got used to re-surface the roads and streets of Egypt. [Work together or hang separately?] Egypt is still dealing with corruption and desert wackos but they avoided the modern version of the 1930s destruction of Germany by Adolf, Inc.
[APS.DZ] A large Algerian delegation is taking part in the 15th Congress of the Polisario Front, being held from 19 to 23 December in the liberated Saharawi territories, Tfariti.
[Libya Observer] Ottoman Turkish President, His Enormity, Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First ...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms. That's 968 more than in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really more important... warned Friday of the consequences of attempts by some quarters to ignore the internationally recognized government of Fayez al-Sarraj, saying that Egypt, the Emirates, La Belle France, and Italia are involved in the Libyan crisis.
"We cannot stand idly by against the Russian Wagner mercenaries in Libya," Erdogan said, pointing out that no one asked, "What is Egypt doing in Libya?" Or what is Abu Dhabi government doing in Libya? ".
He stressed that Haftar is not legitimate but there are those who seek to make him so.
"As for al-Sarraj, he is a legitimate leader" Erdogan confirmed, warning against attempts to "legalize" Haftar at the expense of the internationally recognized government.
[Jpost] Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Friday briefed Iranian President Hassan Rouhani ...Iran's moderate president, which he is, relative to his predecessor, which doesn't mean he's anything but a puppet of the nearest holy man... on Tokyo's plan to send naval forces to the Middle East to protect Japanese vessels, a Japanese official said.
Rouhani said in response that he understood Japan's intention to contribute to navigational safety, the official told a media briefing after the two leaders met in Tokyo.
"I'm highly concerned about tensions running high in the Middle East," Abe told Rouhani at the start of the meeting.
Friction between Tehran and Washington has increased since last year when U.S. President Donald Trump ...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US... pulled the United States out of Tehran's 2015 nuclear deal with six nations and re-imposed sanctions on the country, crippling its economy.
In May and June, several attacks took place on international merchant vessels, including Saudi tankers, in Gulf waters which the United States blamed on Iran. Tehran denies the accusations. In July, Iranian forces seized a British tanker in the Gulf after British marines captured an Iranian vessel in the Strait of Gibraltar. Both ships were later released.
The planned Japanese operation is set to cover high seas in the Gulf of Oman, the northern Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Aden, but not the Strait of Hormuz.
According to a draft plan approved by parties in the ruling coalition, Japan will deploy a destroyer and P-3C patrol aircraft for gathering information in the Gulf region - source of nearly 90 percent of Japan's crude oil imports.
If an emergency situation arises, a special order will be issued by the defense minister to allow the forces to use weapons to protect ships under attack, according to the draft plan.
Japan, a U.S. ally maintaining friendly ties with Iran, is looking to launch its own operation rather than joining a U.S.-led mission to protect shipping in the region.
Local media have said the plan will be approved by Abe's cabinet as soon as next week.
In the Tokyo meeting, Abe asked Rouhani to stick to commitments made in the landmark 2015 nuclear agreement and said Japan would do what it can to ensure stability in the Middle East.
In turn, Rouhani asked Abe to work with other countries to help keep the nuclear deal alive.
"I hope Japan and other countries in the world will work hard to help keep the nuclear agreement in place."
In response to re-imposed sanctions, 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 a cognate form of Stürmabteilung (or SA), the term Supreme Guide is a cognate form of either Shah or Führer or maybe both, and they hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... has gradually scaled back its commitments to the deal this year.
A Europe ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... an operation to ensure safe shipping in the Gulf will get underway next month when a French warship starts patrolling there. The French government has pushed for a European security alternative after ruling out taking part in the U.S.-led mission.
[Jpost] Weeks after US authorities brought a spying case against three Saudi nationals for digging up dissidents' personal data at Twitter, the company suspended tens of thousands of accounts that appear to be linked to one suspect's company.
Twitter announced the suspension of the accounts on Friday, saying only that they were linked "to a significant state-backed information operation" originating in 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... It named as the source of the activity a Riyadh-based social media marketing company called Smaat, which has ties to several high-profile Saudi figures and news outlets.

Hard to tell what that game is since Crown Prince MbS has been "retiring" lots of Obama/Clinton "friends" who might have once been called "Friends of America" at one time. The change seems to be going "smoothly" although the Pensacola shooting suggests that some tribes/klans/families may have some hard feelings toward any of MbS's current "friends". It seems that lots of Wahabi enthusiasts had problems in Syria.
[AlAhram] The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire...

The differential birthrate problem means the Turks have a limited window — a generation or less, according to President Erdogan himself — within which to accomplish their neo-Ottoman sultanate. After that the Kurds will inherit it by providing the babies the Turks have not had.
Very much what the Palestinians have planned, except their baby numbers are imaginary and their total population claims ignore consistently high levels of emigration since 1948.
[HindustanTimes] The Friday namaz at various mosques across the country emerged as points of congregation that transformed into protests against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, or CAA, as police in several cities banned public gatherings in a bid to stop escalation in demonstrations against the controversial law.
In many places, people across faiths and communities appeared to join in the protests, which still centered around the Friday noon prayers, considered by Moslems to be the holiest of the week. This trend was visible from 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.... to Telangana, and Gujarat

[ARYNEWS.TV] Faisalabad ...formerly known as Lyallpur, the third largest metropolis in Pakistain, the second largest in Punjab after Lahore. It is named after some Arab because the Paks didn't have anybody notable of their own to name it after... : Banners hailing the services of the former military ruler General retd Pervez Perv Musharraf ...former dictator of Pakistain, who was less dictatorial and corrupt than any Pak civilian government to date... for the country appeared on main thoroughfares in Faisalabad, ARY NEWS reported on Saturday.
The banners appeared at the Mall Road, University Road, Serena Road and FIC Road and were put up by Pakistain Tehrik-e-Insaf ...a political party in Pakistan. PTI was founded by former Pakistani cricket captain and philanthropist Imran Khan. The party's slogan is Justice, Humanity and Self Esteem, each of which is open to widely divergent interpretations.... (PTI) leaders, Punjab 1.) Little Orphan Annie's bodyguard
2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers
3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots.... Minister Chaudhry Zaheer Ud Din and other religious and social organizations.
The banners depicted the photos of Pervez Musharraf in military uniform with slogans in his favour.
Some of the banners were inscribed with slogans including How military leader could be termed traitor and we loved you before and even today.
Raising concerns over the detailed verdict released by Special Court in high treason case against General (r) Musharraf on December 19, Pakistain army’s spokesperson Major General Asif Ghafoor said that Prime Minister Imran Khan ...aka The Great Khan, who ain't the brightest knife in the national drawer... and COAS Bajwa had spoken in detail over the verdict.
"The army chief met the prime minister and conveyed the sentiments of the armed forces to him," he added while addressing a presser at General Headquarters (GHQ) in Rawalpindi.
He said that Pakistain army has restored peace in the country after rendering matchless sacrifices and it would not allow anyone to spread anarchy in the motherland, ARY News reported on Thursday.
"All internal and external enemies of Pakistain will not succeed in their malicious intentions."
[JPost] - David Ben-Gurion, Israel’s founding father, took a leave of absence from his duties as the country’s prime minister in 1953 and moved South, to his rickety home perched over Nahal Zin in the desert kibbutz of Sde Boker.
Israel was five years old, but Ben-Gurion wasn’t sure it would survive another war. The Jewish state had barely made it through the War of Independence in 1948, when five Arab armies converged on the nascent state. Another war of that kind, he knew, could not be tolerated.
Over a period of seven weeks, Ben-Gurion sat and wrote. When he was done, the document he had drafted would become known as Israel’s national defense strategy, which rests on three pillars: Deterrence, Early Warning and Decisive Victory. Go into any senior IDF commander’s office and the list can usually be seen in a framed document hanging on the wall.
For years the document remained untouched, until Dan Meridor, a veteran minister and member of Knesset, was tasked in 2006 with drafting an updated defense concept. While the 250-page document he wrote was never officially adopted, one of its main tenets was to add a fourth pillar to Ben-Gurion’s three. That pillar is "Defense," a reference to Israel’s need to produce defensive systems that can intercept enemy missiles, like the Arrow and Iron Dome, as well as build bomb shelters to protect civilians throughout the country.
If Defense Minister Naftali Bennett has his way, a fifth pillar - based on what has been happening over the last few weeks ‐ might soon be added to Israel’s national defense concept: "Preemption," basically the need to take preemptive action to stop an enemy’s military buildup.
It’s an interesting idea. Until now, Israel has historically only taken preemptive action when encountering a threat of a nuclear nature. This was the case in 1981, when Menachem Begin decided to send IAF F-16s to destroy the Osirak reactor that Saddam Hussein was building outside of Baghdad, and in 2007, when Ehud Olmert did the same to the al-Kibar reactor Bashar Assad and North Korea were building in northeastern Syria.
But this was never done when Israel faced a conventional military buildup, or even one of biological or chemical weapons. The IDF closely followed Syria’s chemical weapons program, but never used military force to stop it. The same has happened with Hezbollah’s impressive military buildup since the Second Lebanon War in the summer of 2006.
...This scenario seems to be exactly what Bennett wants to avoid in Syria. As reported this week by The Jerusalem Post’s military correspondent Anna Ahronheim, Bennett is working to have the IDF escalate operations against Iran in Syria with the aim of persuading the Islamic Republic to leave the war-torn country in the near future. Earlier this month, Bennett warned that Israel will turn Syria into Iran’s Vietnam, a costly military quagmire, from which he hopes Tehran will decide to vacate and cut its losses.
Bennett’s calculation seems to run like this: Yes, Israel has reportedly struck hundreds of targets in Syria in recent years (as the IDF has openly admitted), but the desired result has yet to be achieved and Iran is still entrenching itself.
If nothing more is done to stop Iran, it could potentially grow a force in Syria like Hezbollah has grown in Lebanon. If that happens, Israel could find itself facing an enemy that it will hesitate to act against.
[France24] The International Criminal Court’s chief prosecutor said Friday she wanted to open a full investigation into alleged war crimes in the Palestinian territories, sparking a furious reaction from Israel and condemnation from the United States.
The Palestinians welcomed the move by the ICC as a "long overdue step" following a nearly five-year preliminary probe by the prosecutor into the situation since the 2014 war in Gaza.
"I am satisfied that there is a reasonable basis to proceed with an investigation into the situation in Palestine," ICC prosecutor Fatou Bensouda said in a statement.
"In brief, I am satisfied that war crimes have been or are being committed in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip," she added, without specifying the perpetrators of the alleged crimes.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the decision made the Hague-based court, which Israel has refused to sign up to since its creation in 2002, a "political tool" against the Jewish state.
"The court has no jurisdiction in this case. The ICC only has jurisdiction over petitions submitted by sovereign states. But there has never been a Palestinian state," Netanyahu said in a statement.
Bensouda said that before opening a full probe, she would ask the ICC to rule on the territory over which it has jurisdiction because of the "unique and highly contested legal and factual issues attaching to this situation."
"Specifically, I have sought confirmation that the ’territory’ over which the Court may exercise its jurisdiction, and which I may subject to investigation, comprises the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and Gaza."
The prosecutor added however that she did not require any authorisation from judges to open a probe as there had been a referral from the Palestinians, who joined the court in 2015.

Born on 31 January 1961 in Banjul (then Bathurst), The Gambia, Bensouda is the daughter of Omar Gaye Nyang, who was a government driver and the country's most prominent wrestling promoter.
She attended primary and secondary school in the Gambia before leaving in 1982 for Nigeria, where she graduated from the University of Ife with a Bachelor of Laws (Hons) degree in 1986. The following year, she obtained her Barrister-at-Law (BL) professional qualification from the Nigeria Law School.
Human rights in the Gambia According to the World Health Organization, an estimated 78.3% of Gambian girls and women have suffered female genital mutilation.[57] LGBT activity is illegal, and punishable with life imprisonment.
Politics and government The Gambia gained independence from the United Kingdom on 18 February 1965. From 1965 to 1994, the country was ostensibly a multi-party liberal democracy. It was ruled by Dawda Jawara and his People's Progressive Party (PPP). However, the country never experienced political turnover during this period and its commitment to succession by the ballot box was never tested.[44] In 1994, a military coup propelled a commission of military officers to power, known as the Armed Forces Provisional Ruling Council (AFPRC). After two years of direct rule, a new constitution was written and in 1996, the leader of the AFPRC, Yahya Jammeh, was elected as President. He ruled in an authoritarian style until the 2016 election, which was won by Adama Barrow, backed by a coalition of opposition parties.

The solution to this is simple. Arrest the investigators for conspiring and providing aid and comfort to terrorists, try them and upon conviction execute them. It's time someone tells the ICC to FOAD.
