-Lurid Crime Tales-
Black Lives Matter blew $12.7million of the $60million in donations it received in 2020 on consultants and lawyers - including high-power legal firm retained by Hillary Clinton during her failed campaign - IRS filings reveal
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • The Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation blew $12.7M of its 2020 donations on 'professional fees', documents obtained by DailyMail.com reveal

  • According to IRS filings nearly a quarter of the $60M BLMGNF raised by August 2020 was spent on accountants, legal services, contractors, and consultants

  • The foundation also reported it expected to spend the same amount on such costs in 2021

  • The figures were included in its IRS Form 1023 filing, which is required to apply for nonprofit status. BLMGNF was recognized as a nonprofit in December 2020

  • However, earlier this month it was revealed BLMGNF has not provided its latest tax return, and the 2019 filing has a non-existent address

  • BLMGNF released a snapshot of its finances last February revealing it raked in $90M in 2020 and ended the year with a balance of more than $60M

  • The charity, which is now in delinquent status, hasn't had anyone in charge of its finances since co-founder Patrisse Cullors resigned last May

#1  BB article:

Black Lives (only) Matter leaders and co-conspirators indited by the US DOJ? Charged with embezzling millions in donations for personal use and funding Liberal Democrat campaigns to look the other way. All in violation of US 501-c3 rules and regulations.

Therefore, Mega-Donors will be required to file amended tax returns to reflect the loss on the charitable donation status donations.

#1  Good idea. Scratch the paedos but the pork thing's not bad. Denigrate and humiliate the eye-slam as much as possible. Be outright evil in targeting it. Play the role they write for you and watch them shrink.

Iraq
US handed $500k worth of security equipment to Erbil Asayish
[Rudaw] The United States on Thursday gave security equipment, worth half a million dollars, to the internal security forces’ (Asayish) Explosive Ordnance Disposal team in Erbil.

"Consul General [Robert] Palladino presented the #Erbil Asayish Explosive Ordnance Disposal unit with $500,000 worth of security equipment today in a ceremony at the Erbil Asayish Headquarters," US consulate in Erbil said in a statement.

"Following a pause in anti-terrorism assistance operations due to #COVID19, the #United_States has resumed security assistance operations with programs valued at over $10 million planned over the next two years. The United States is committed to continue supporting the people of the Iraqi Kurdistan Region and to the enduring defeat of ISIS," it added, referring to the Islamic State

The US-led global coalition against ISIS has supported Kurdish Peshmerga forces through funding them and providing military equipment and training since 2014 when the group held swathes of territory in Syria and Iraq and advanced to near Erbil.

Washington still pays the salaries of thousands of Peshmerga fighters.

Explosive Ordnance Disposal teams in the Kurdistan Region, especially in the capital city of Erbil, have supported Peshmerga forces during military operations aimed to retake areas from ISIS.

Kurdistan Region’s borders with Iraq have been littered with landmines due to ISIS war, and its areas which border Iran

Dozens of people are maimed or killed across the Kurdistan Region by explosives each year.

Almost all European aid to the PA held up as officials discuss reform of textbooks
Well done, O Conscience of the EU!
[IsraelTimes] The EU is Ramallah’s single largest donor, but has sent almost no aid since 2020; Brussels has repeatedly raised concerns of incitement in Paleostinian education.

Millions of euros in European Union

aid to the Paleostinian Authority are stuck in Brussels as officials in the European Commission discuss whether to condition parts of the foreign assistance on reforms to Paleostinian textbooks, The Times of Israel has learned.

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Malaysian turbans afraid of being arrested if they go home


The Malaysian government has maintained an open-door policy to repatriate its own nationals with links to the Islamic State

(ISIS) from northeast Syria, but this process involves several challenges.

The Malaysian government estimates that 122 Malaysians traveled to Syria and Iraq to join ISIS while others estimate the real figure to be 200-250, according to The Diplomat, an Asian magazine.

After the defeat of ISIS in Syria’s eastern town of Baghouz, Malaysian ISIS members and families were held by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and were sent to camps or to detention centers in northeast Syria.

Many Malaysian ISIS fighters were killed in the battlefields and only a small number were repatriated. However,
nothing needs reforming like other people's bad habits...
56 Malaysians, including 19 men, 12 women, 17 boys and eight girls are still in Syria.

Recent reports have suggested that 10 Malaysian women, 12 boys, and five girls are present at the Hawl Camp while nine Malaysian men are still being held in a prison in Hasakah city, where thousands of ISIS male members are detained, according to The Diplomat.

One Malaysian man is detained at a prison in Idlib in northwestern Syria, The Diplomat added.

On January 20, some ISIS sleeper cells attacked the prison in Syria’s Hasakah to break their fellow members out from the prison and the nine Malaysian ISIS members were believed to be in the prison at the time of the attack. However,
nothing needs reforming like other people's bad habits...
there has been no news about the Malaysian ISIS members following the prison incident.

Since 2019, the Malaysian government has attempted to bring back some 40 Malaysians from Syria but only 16 have now been successfully repatriated due to several challenges in the repatriation process.

The first challenge is that some Malaysian citizens are unwilling to return to their home country for fear of having to undergo detention and rehabilitation in Malaysia.

Secondly, the Malaysian government faces a number of diplomatic challenges. Since the Hawl Camp is controlled by the SDF, and the Malaysian government does not recognize the SDF diplomatically. Repatriation is not a straightforward, one-way process, rather it relies on the efforts and cooperation of numerous parties, the political status of the SDF has posed a diplomatic hurdle in a few instances.
