Considerably more about this story from yesterday.
AlAhram] La Belle France announced Friday that its anti-jihadist force in Mali had killed the military commander of an al-Qaeda-aligned group linked to attacks in the region, as well as around 30 Lions of Islam in a separate operation.
The killing of Ba Ag Moussa is a major boost for the thousands-strong French Barkhane force stationed in the Sahel region ... North Africa's answer to the Pak tribal areas... of Africa for over half a decade in a grinding fight against multiple jihadist groups who are often also fighting each other.

The Polisario Front News Agency said, "The Sahrawi People’s Liberation Army launched intense attacks on Moroccan army bases in the Al Mahbas, Hawza, Awsard and Al Farisiyah sectors, resulting in casualties."
The Polisario agency said, "The political governorate of the Sahrawi People’s Liberation Army confirmed in a statement that several enemy sites have been attacked by our brave fighters along the Moroccan wall of shame," noting that this comes in response to "the Moroccan army’s desperate adventure embodied in it." A clear violation of the ceasefire agreement signed between the two parties to the conflict in the Guerguerat region.
The statement added , "As a result of this treacherous operation, the Lions of the Sahrawi People’s Liberation Army responded fiercely to the advancement of the hostile formation, and were able to secure and protect the movement of Sahrawi civil society groups that were in the same place."
For his part, the Minister of Information of the Polisario Front, Hamada Salma, confirmed that the Moroccan recklessness in the Guerguerat region has returned the region to square one, stressing that the Sahrawi people are determined to extract their right to self-determination at all costs.
Hamada Salma said in his statements that "the Sahrawi people have lost their confidence in the ability of the United Nations ...a formerly good idea gone bad... to do justice to them and to establish their inalienable right to organize a free and fair referendum, to determine self-determination and end the last occupation on the African continent, according to what international legitimacy stipulates."
He added, "The war imposed on us by the Moroccan occupation has begun, and things will not return to what they were without being deterred by the Moroccan regime, which is responsible throughout this period for obstructing a peaceful solution in the region."
On Friday, Morocco announced that it had launched a military operation in the buffer zone in Guerguerat in Western Sahara, which is disputed with the Polisario Front, while the Polisario Front responded, considering that the operation ended the ceasefire between the two sides in effect for 30 years, and that "the war began."

Fervent supporters of US President Donald Trump ...His ancestors didn't own any slaves... rallied in Washington on Saturday behind his spurious claim of a stolen election and swarmed his motorcade in adulation when he detoured for a drive-by on his way out of town.

I don't recall any reports of clashes with Antifa/BLM at the many Trump rallies across the country in the run-up to the election.
So why is Washington D.C. different? If Trump supporters haven't had a problem prior to this, one has to assume it is the left instigating this violence.

They missed this little irony, from a photo caption: Trump supporters cheer as Georgia State Rep. Vernon Jones speaks
Ironic, because he is a member of the Democratic party and a person of color. Not ironic that he is reviled by his (D) peers.

We truly are f---ed if we tolerate these lies any longer.
Antifa/BLM thugs are literally attacking mothers with children, old people, ordinary citizens in restaurants and at hotels and everywhere in between.
This violence is specifically designed to intimidate us into voting for Democrats and staying silent when Democrats fix ballots and rig elections.
This cannot be allowed. If law enforcement will not put an end to this behavior, honest citizens will. There will be blood.

Proud Boys are not Neo-fascist. That is a false narrative perpetuated by the Marxist Left
Trump Supporters are non-violent. Antifa and BLM Marxists are completely violent
All they want are to physically eliminate all Republicans and white men.
Neo-Fascism lends itself to an exact definition even less than Fascism, its ideological progenitor. In the postwar world all radical right-wing movements, irrespective of their doctrinal contents and differences – except those explicitly aiming at the restoration of an antisemitic, racialist, Nazi-type dictatorship (see *Neo-Nazism) – are commonly referred to as "neo-Fascist."
So any movement that wants simply to end violence against civilians and ensure free and fair elections could not possibly be neo-fascist, with or without the hyphen.

Anti-fascists are communists and as such are statists. They are the other side of the same statist coin. One side is fascist, the other side communists--both are statists or totalitarians. That is not America or American! We have fought against this from the beginning of our country.
Tim Poole describes seeing a multi-racial group of Proud Boys being attacked by Antifa in the Pacific northwest. A white Antifa scum was screaming every racial epithet imaginable at a black Proud Boy, and was starting to get under his skin. A white Proud Boy went to his friend, pulled him away, and calmed him down, letting him know he has real friends in the group, and to ignore the scum; his friends know him and respect him.
Which group is fascist?

If the pigs want to obey their mayor, then things will only get worse. If the police disobey the mayor and side with the people, then this egesta might end.

The leftwing protesters bring their children during the day, then fade away in the evening, turning over the field of battle to Antifa/BLM. Now the same has started happening on the right.

Time for Liza Minelli to do a remake of Caberet?
The sun on the meadow is summery warm
The stag in the forest runs free
But gathered together to greet the storm
Tomorrow belongs to me
Tomorrow belongs to me
The branch on the linden is leafy and green
The Rhine gives it's gold to the sea
But somewhere a glory awaits unseen
Tomorrow belongs to me
Tomorrow belongs to me
The babe in his cradle is closing his eyes
The blossom embraces the bee
But soon says a whisper, arise, arise
Tomorrow belongs to me
Tomorrow belongs to me
Now Fatherland, Fatherland, show us the sign
Your children have waited to see
The morning will come when the world is mine
Tomorrow belongs to me
Tomorrow belongs to me

The left's violent disposition makes some sense in light of possible court decisions concerning the integrity of the election.
If there's real documented fraud some court would have to decide whether to uphold the law and displease a political faction with a proven capability to inflict economically devastating violence.
The alternative for the court would be ignoring the fraud and thereby alienating a more than mostly peaceful faction that is ideologically predisposed to submit to the authority of established institutions.
Even if there's clear evidence of massive fraud I predict the court will dismiss any challenge on procedural grounds like standing, just to preserve the peace.

PBs and Trump supporters went back into the streets and routed the Antifa/BLM terrorists. My favorite video was that of the BLM scrunt that pulled a switchblade and was promptly knocked out cold for her stupidity and left kissing the pavement like it was her job.

Henceforth, My policy is:
Act Like A Thug, get treated like a Thug.
As far as the PRESS designation VEST's
being worn by Anti-Fart and the Racist BLM. The rule of thumb is ... If its wearing a MASK, it is NOT the real Media.
Regarding the Police Chief or Officer in Charge that funneled the MAGA Support group thru the Racist BLM and the Anti-Farters. He/She/It should be brought up on federal charges and or sued.

Even if there's clear evidence of massive fraud I predict the court will dismiss any challenge on procedural grounds like standing, just to preserve the peace.
So, in addition to the familiar techniques of fraud and chicanery the courts would be establishing an entirely new precedent in this country: political violence as a proven successful tactic in national elections.
Don't be surprised if / when violence is met with equal or superior violence.
In trying to preserve the peace, these judges may find that they've shattered it for good.

#7 no, This has gone beyond the courts. This was anticipated. State legislators are where the action is. In Pennsylvania for example their Supreme court changed vote counting date but that was not in their power to do so. Trump has a well planned strategy. He has had several years to plan this trap and expose the swap corruption.He bleeds them everyday.Then presents a calm in the storm to even play golf.

The fireworks are just getting started. The Democrats are in a panic. President Trump has the upper hand.
We are seeing several signs that the Trump legal team is aware of how the election was stolen for Joe Biden.
Lin Wood tweeted today that he has seen the evidence of fraud in the computer voting system:
Sydney Powell claims that she too has seen the information on the Dominion voting machines and it is ‘staggering’:
Michael Flynn attorney Sidney Powell says she has “staggering” statistical evidence and testimony to show Dominion voting machines altered ballots”.
President Trump retweeted a Glenn Beck video where an expert on the Dominion voting machines talked about the ability for these machines to be able to change a vote after it was entered into the machine:
They can essentially ingest and then record something differently than what was originally read…It should have never been in there in the first place.”
It’s also reported that former Dominion programmers are talking to the Trump team about what they know about the machines as well as the entire code base has been turned over – oh and since the President gets all the top secret information, the President knows what’s going on too".

That’s huge.
– oh and since the President gets all the top secret information, the President knows what’s going on too".
Not necessarily. Recall the envoy to Syria who just boasted that the military chiefs have been lying to President Trump about preparing for US troop withdrawals from, and total troop numbers in, Afghanistan and Syria.

That article about Roberts is pre-election.
I think if it goes to the Supremes it'll be specific to can the Supreme court change laws when that's the legislature's job. With those fine parameters I don't think he has a choice.
[ALMASDARNEWS] On Saturday, the Ottoman Turkish Ministry of Interior announced the launch of Operation "Thunderbolt 15" in the eastern state of Bitlis, against the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK).
The Interior Ministry said in a statement on Saturday that the gendarmerie command in Bitlis launched the operation between the Mutaki and Serb Gaya regions in the state, in which 816 security personnel, including members of the Special Forces, were participating.
Since the launch of the attacks against the PKK, on July 13, the security forces have claimed to neutralize hundreds of the Kurdish group’s members.
During the operations, the security forces destroyed 251 caves, bunkers, and warehouses, in addition to finding many weapons and ammunition for the PKK.
The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor... has outlawed the Kurdistan Workers Party and used their alleged presence in Iraq and Syria as a catalyst to move their forces inside these countries.

Because Operations Thunderbolt One through Fourteen worked so well?
Bluster from the team frustrated because their attempt to sneak jihadis over the border was thwarted, and they don’t like the consequences forced down their throats. See yesterday’s story here.
The rocket impact in Palmachim beach national park, where hikers and campers are almost always present. No one was wounded in a miracle. #Israel#Gazahttps://t.co/e7QCZsgS7i
#BREAKING IDF sources to #Israel’i media are indicating something bigger is happening/going to happen : “The retaliation will come for sure the rocket launches but we are getting ready for days of fighting in southern Israel” #Gaza
Prepare yourselves for the #GazaUnderAttack tweets after the IDF responses following multiple unguided long-range artillery rocket attacks on civilian population centres in central Israel.
[IsraelTimes] Israeli jets, helicopters, and tanks carried out predawn raids in the Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... Strip on Sunday, hours after Paleostinian forces of Evil in the coastal enclave fired two rockets at southern and central Israel, the military said.
The strikes targeted "underground infrastructure and military posts of the terror group Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", in the Gaza Strip," according to the Israel Defense Forces.
Earlier, the army said one of the rockets fired around 2 a.m. triggered sirens in the southern city of Ashdod and throughout the Shfela region of central Israel, while the other fell outside of Ashdod city limits and set off no alarms.
The Iron Dome anti-missile defense system was activated to intercept the rockets "in accordance with our procedures," the army said, stopping short of saying the interceptions were successful.
The rocket sirens sent thousands rushing for shelter, as residents of cities and towns south of Tel Aviv reported hearing powerful explosions.
There were no reports of injuries or damage.
The rocket fire came days after the one-year anniversary of the killing of Paleostinian Islamic Jihad ...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah... commander Baha Abu al-Ata.
Abu al-Ata’s death on November 12, 2019 sparked a fierce round of fighting known in the military as Operation Black Belt. Last week also marked the anniversary of an IDF intelligence operation that went awry on November 11, 2018, leading to a large exchange of fire between Israel and terror groups in the Strip, as well as a major, week-long campaign against Hamas in November 2012, known as Operation Pillar of Defense.
In this photo taken on October 21, 2016, Paleostinian Islamic Jihad terror leader Baha Abu al-Ata attends a rally in Gaza City. (STR/AFP)
The IDF went on heightened alert Wednesday, sending additional air defenses to southern Israel, ahead of the anniversary. In addition to more Iron Dome missile defense batteries deployed to the south, flights into and out of Israel appeared to have been directed to use Ben Gurion International Airport’s northern paths, keeping them farther from the Gaza Strip.
These changes in air traffic routes — visible with civilian flight path tracking software — is generally seen when there is active fighting or expectations of it. A spokesperson for the Israel Airports Authority did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the matter.

[IsraelTimes] The US and Israel both had ’scores to settle’ with terror chief al-Masri, reportedly rubbed out by Israeli agents in August; Iran now said to fear more hits in Trump’s last 2 months.
The al-Qaeda No. 2 reportedly rubbed out by Israeli agents in Tehran in August was planning attacks on Israeli and Jewish Diaspora targets when he was killed, Israel’s Channel 12 news reported Saturday night.
Earlier Saturday, The New York Times
...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... reported that Abdullah Ahmed Abdullah, aka Abu Muhammad al-Masri, was killed by Israeli agents at the behest of the US on August 7. 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 JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... denied the Times story, claiming it was "made up information."
"Abu Muhammad al-Masri had recently begun planning attacks against Israelis and Jewish targets in the world," the Israeli TV report said, quoting unnamed Western intelligence sources. This further underlined why the US and Israel had a "shared interest" in the elimination of this "arch-terrorist," it said. The US was seeking him for orchestrating two devastating attacks on embassies in Africa in the 1990s, while Israel alleges he oversaw the 2002 suicide kaboom of an Israeli-owned hotel in Kenya in which three Israelis were killed.
The killing of al-Masri was the result of a huge, year-long operation, that went off without a hitch, the Israeli report said.
The Channel 12 report specified that the button men were Mossad agents. Israel’s Channel 13, by contrast, said the button men were likely "foreign agents activated by Israel."
Channel 13 further said Iran now fears further operations against terrorist chiefs in Tehran by Israel and the United States in the final weeks of the Trump presidency.
The Channel 13 news report also said the killing of al-Masri in the heart of Tehran had prompted an intensive investigation by Iran of the intelligence breach that saw him tracked down.
The nature of the killing, the TV report noted, resembled a series of liquidations of Iranian nuclear scientists in recent years attributed in foreign reports to Israel.
The Iranians were now "extremely worried" that Israel or the US, since they evidently have the intelligence, may try to eliminate additional bully boyz operating from Iran, from al-Qaeda and other groups, between now and the US presidential handover in January, the Channel 12 report said.
Channel 13 said it was curious that the US did not publicize the killing of the al-Qaeda number two, and that President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... did not reveal the killing during the presidential election campaign. It noted that nobody has claimed the up-to $10 million reward offered by the FBI for information regarding him.
Could it be that the hunter-killer team had other targets lined up in the area, for which secrecy would have been helpful before the New York Times screamed out their existence to the world?

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
