My Pillow CEO and Hollywood actor help get Kyle Rittenhouse out of jail
[Washington Examiner] Accused shooter Kyle Rittenhouse received help posting a $2 million bond from at least two famous faces.

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell and actor Ricky Schroder donated tens of thousands of dollars to a fund totaling $2 million in order to secure the 17-year-old Rittenhouse’s release from jail, according to the New York Post.

Schroder, a star of the hit police drama NYPD Blue, reportedly pitched in $150,000 to go along with Lindell’s $50,000.

Rittenhouse, who has been charged with first-degree intentional homicide stemming from an altercation during a riot in Kenosha, Wisconsin, in late August, was released Friday at 2 p.m. and is scheduled to appear in court on Dec. 3.

"FREE AT LAST!!!" Rittenhouse’s attorney Lin Wood posted on Twitter Friday, along with a photo of the teenager, Schroder, and his colleague on the case, attorney John Pierce.

#2  That slob has buttered his own bread. Screw him. Oh, and what's the matter, mufti man, Putin tell you to buzz off?
Posted by: Clem || 11/22/2020 9:04 Comments || Top||

#3  I discern an application of tawriya, the kind of Muslim lying where how the speaker means the words is intentionally not the same as the targetted audience understands them. Wannabe neo-Ottoman sultan Erdogan I intends to conquer Europe by the jihad of the womb and floods of asylum seekers who will look to him in gratitude — I think he has unrealistic expectations of Muslim gratitude, but he was ever a romantic — not let Europe tame and leash him.

From Deception, Lying and Taqiyya:

Taqiyya - Saying something that isn't true as it relates to Muslim identity (i.e whether one is a Muslim or what that means). This is a Shiite term: the Sunni counterpart is Muda'rat.

Kitman - Lying by omission. An example would be when Muslim apologists quote only a fragment of verse 5:32 (that if anyone kills "it shall be as if he had killed all mankind") while neglecting to mention that the rest of the verse (and the next) mandate murder in undefined cases of "corruption" and "mischief."

Tawriya - Intentionally creating a false impression by saying something that is technically true, when knowing that the listener will interpret it in a different way. This practice has a broader application than taqiyya.

Muruna - 'Blending in' by setting aside some practices of Islam or Sharia in order to advance others.

Top Democratic senator opposes reentering Iran deal under previous terms
[IsraelTimes] Chris Coons
...Dem Junior Senator from Delaware since 2010. He won a special election to succeed Ted Kaufman, who had been appointed to the seat when Joe Biden resigned to become Vice President. Previously, Coons was the county executive of New Castle County. Raised in Hockessin, Delaware, Coons was a frat boy at the Amherst College liberal mill. He received graduate degrees from Yale Divinity School and Yale Law School....

India-Pakistan
Nagrota, Kashmir: Big attack aimed at diverting Imran Khan’s problems back home
[OneIndia] Earlier this week, the Indian security averted a major attack after gunning down four 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...
forces of Evil at Nagrota, Jammu and 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....
Investigations revealed that the heavily armed forces of Evil were attempting a major strike, with the view of disrupting the electoral process.

The forces of Evil were in direct touch with the operational commander of the JeM, Mufti Rauf Asghar, who is the brother of the outfit's boss, Maulana Masood Azhar
...One of the major players in Pak terrorism. In early 1994, India incarcerated him for his activities. In 1995, foreign tourists were kidnapped in Jammu and Kashmir. The kidnappers included his release among their demands. One of the hostages managed to escape but the rest were eventually killed. In 1999, he was freed by the Indian government in exchange for passengers on hijacked Indian Airlines Flight 814 that had been diverted to Kandahar. The hijackers were led by Masood Azhar's brother, Ibrahim Athar. Once he was handed over to the hijackers, they fled to Pak territory despite the fact that Islamabad had earlier stated that any of the hijackers would be jugged at the border. The Pak government had also previously indicated that Azhar would be allowed to return home since he did not face any charges there. Shortly after his release, he made a public address to an estimated 10,000 people in Karachi, firing up the rubes against America and India...
. Intelligence Bureau officials tell OneIndia that the motive was not only to disrupt the electoral process, but also make Kashmir a focal point once again.

Pakistain's Prime Minister, Imran Khan
...aka The Great Khan, who isn't your heaviest-duty thinker, maybe not even among the top five...
is under pressure from the opposition to make Kashmir a talking point again. The multiple successes enjoyed by the Indian security forces in gunning down a large number of forces of Evil in the Valley has not only put the terror groups on the back-foot, but the Pakistain establishment as well.

Since the abrogation of Article 370, Pakistain has tried making Kashmir a talking point on several occasions. It has resorted to multiple ceasefire violations in a bid to cover fire to the infiltrating terrorists.

Pakistain also tried to raking up several issues in the Valley through propaganda. However this time around the separatists could not manage to deliver the desired results. A major attack in the Valley would have also meant that Khan's pressure from the opposition on Kashmir would have reduced.

Nagrota: JeM terrorist’s MPD mobile reveals chat with Pakistan based handler

[OneIndia] Is there any difficulty, are you sleeping and where have you arrived.

This was the message that one of the four Jaish-e-Mohammad terrorists had received from the handler in Pakistan.

Four JeM terrorists were gunned down in an encounter at Nagrota on Thursday. They were on their way to execute a major attack in the Valley. The handler asks about their whereabouts and whether they had any difficulty in reaching. To this the terrorist replies 2 baje or 2 O clock.

The message was sent to the MPD mobile from Pakistan that was being used by the terrorists. This is not an android phone and is used only for text messages and chats.

The terrorists had plans of disrupting the district development council (DDC) elections.

The decision by India to hold these elections had irked Pakistan due to which the ISI along with the Jaish-e-Mohammad planned a major attack to disrupt the elections.

Intelligence Bureau officials tell OneIndia that they were planning a strike on the anniversary of the 26/11 attacks. Their intention was also to derail the election process.

The IB officer also said that Pakistan had planned a series of propaganda activities in the Valley, but were not getting the desired results. The fact that the security forces had gunned down a large number of terrorists had also derailed Pakistan's agenda.

The officer cited above said that the very fact that there is such enthusiasm among the political class to take part in the elections also did not bode well with Pakistan. Looking the seizures in Nagrota, it is clear that something really big was planned. Had the four JeM terrorists managed to get away, an unthinkable catastrophe would have taken place, the officer also said.

On Friday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a meeting with National Security Advisor, Ajit Doval, foreign secretary and top intelligence officials following the killing of four Jaish-e-Mohammad terrorists at Nagrota.

The terrorists killed in the encounter on Thursday came in a truck in which it was written, 'death keeps no calendar. The investigations showed that the truck bore a fake registration number.

The gun battle started at around 5 am near the toll plaza in the Ban area of Nagrota on the Jammu-Srinagar highway on Thursday. Jammu district police chief SSP Shridhar Patil said that around 5 AM some terrorists opened fire at security forces near Ban Toll Plaza in Nagrota area.

"Four terrorists have been neutralised and one police constable injured in an encounter at Ban Toll Plaza Jammu with Police, CRPF and Army. Area is being sanitised," the police said.

The terrorists were carrying a huge cache of arms, ammunition. They were on the verge of executing a big plan, Inspector General of Police, Jammu, Mukesh Singh said. Singh also said that the truck driver is absconding and the police has launched a manhunt for him. It is possible that they were planning a big attack.

Iraq
US Extends Iraq Sanctions Waiver until before Biden Inauguration
Not that any of the parties will be grateful, or even polite.
[AnNahar] Washington has granted Iraq a shortened 45-day sanctions waiver to import Iranian gas that will expire days before US President Donald Trump
...the Nailer of NAFTA...
's term ends, an Iraqi official said Saturday.

Baghdad buys gas and electricity from its neighbour Tehran to supply about a third of its power sector, worn down by years of conflict and poor maintenance.

The US blacklisted Iran's energy industry in late 2018 but granted Baghdad a series of temporary waivers, hoping Iraq would wean itself off Iranian energy by partnering with US firms.

The lengths of the exemptions have become a key tool in US policy towards Iraq, demonstrating the level of satisfaction or frustration with Baghdad.

In May, Washington granted Iraq a four-month extension as a gesture of goodwill towards Mustafa al-Kadhemi, who had just formed a cabinet seen as US-friendly.

But when it renewed the waiver in late September, the Trump administration gave Iraq just 60 days.

This time, it went even shorter: 45 days, a top Iraqi official told AFP, expiring around a week before Trump is set to hand over the White House to President-elect Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
...Candidate for president in 2020. I had the great honor of being arrested with our UN Ambassador on the streets of Soweto, trying to get to see him on Robbens Island...
"They (the Trump administration) wanted a last opportunity to have a say," the official said.

The shorter waiver comes amid concern by Iraqi and Western officials that Trump could use his final days in office to strike at 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 Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
and its allies in Iraq.

The State Department is drawing up plans for a possible closure of the American embassy in Baghdad, which has been targeted by dozens of rocket attacks in the last year.

And two Iraqi officials have said they expect a "bucket list of sanctions" against Iranian interests in Iraq ahead of the White House handover.

Gaza border underground barrier almost complete; new ''smart border'' concept deployed along northern section of Gaza Strip.
[Jpost] Cross border attack tunnel discovered last month was deepest ever found.

The Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, tunnel that stretched several meters into Israel and was discovered by the IDF last month near Kissufim forest was the deepest tunnel ever dug.

While the military is not certain as to what its purpose was, it believes that it was intended to test the underground barrier or to be used for a cross-border raid by the terror group though not necessarily to abduct Israeli troops or civilians.

#1  Why does Israel get to defend its borders with walls and high tech equipment, while the US is villified for wanting the same for its people?

#2  Are you kidding? The world and Israel’s Left howled when they put up simple fences, howled more when they added actual walls along key areas in the West Bank, and shrieked on top of howling when they began building a serious barrier along the Gaza Strip.

It’s just that Bibi Netanyahu has the strength of character to ignore his denigrators both foreign and domestic.

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Iran seizes Panama-flagged vessel for alleged fuel smuggling
All is not rainbows and unicorns in the Mad Mullah’s little empire of Allah’s Elect.
[Jpost] Iran's Revolutionary Guards have seized a Panama-registered vessel in the Gulf suspected of smuggling 300,000 liters of fuel and detained its crew of 10, the semi-official Fars news agency reported on Friday.

The agency did not give the nationality of the crew members or other details of the incident in its report.

Iran, which has some of the world’s cheapest fuel prices due to heavy subsidies and the fall of its national currency as it faces U.S. sanctions, has been fighting rampant fuel smuggling by land to neighboring countries and by sea to Gulf Arab states.

Iranian media reports say an estimated 10 million liters of fuel are smuggled per day.

Terror Networks
Al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri allegedly dies from asthma
[DISRN] al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri
...Formerly second in command of al-Qaeda, now the head cheese, occasionally described as the real brains of the outfit. Formerly the Mister Big of Egyptian Islamic Jihad. Bumped off Abdullah Azzam with a car boom in the course of one of their little disputes. Is thought to have composed bin Laden's fatwa entitled World Islamic Front Against Jews and Crusaders. Currently residing in the North Wazoo area assuming he's not dead like Mullah Omar. He lost major face when he ordered the nascent Islamic State to cease and desist and merge with the orthodox al-Qaeda spring, al-Nusra...
, also known as "Dr. Death," has reportedly died of natural causes related to asthma. He last appeared in a 45-minute video message on the anniversary of 9/11 to celebrate the World Trade Center attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people.

"He died last week in Ghazni. He died of asthma because he had no formal treatment," according to al-Qaeda translator.

Pak officials echoed the message.

"We believe he is no longer alive. We are firm that he has died of natural causes," said a Pak security official.

A source close to the terrorist organization also confirmed the alleged death.

"What we know is that he was having some breathing issues and has passed away somewhere in Afghanistan," said a source close to al-Qaeda.

U.S. intelligence officials are attempting to confirm whether the reports are true or not.

Al-Zawahiri's death comes after the deaths of al-Qaeda's second in command Abdullah Ahmed Abdullah, known as Abu Muhammad al-Masri, and his daughter, as well as the death of Hamza bin Laden. The three deaths occurred in quick succession, which potentially opens up a power vacuum at the top of al-Qaeda.

Al-Masri and al-Zawahiri are still listed on the FBI's most wanted snuffies page, with the bounty on al-Zawahiri set at $25 million. He is still being described as "armed and dangerous".

Al-Zawahiri was indicted in 1998 for his part in the attacks on US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, which left more than 224 people dead and thousands injured. Despite a manhunt after the September 11 attacks, al-Zawahiri has remained in hiding for almost 20 years.
