[All Africa] The government was last evening mum as the reality of a visa ban on Kenyan citizens wanting to travel to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) started to sink in.
Several global media outlets announced on Thursday that Kenya was among 13 countries whose citizens will not get visas to travel to the UAE until further notice. The bad news came just hours before national carrier Kenya Airways was to make its maiden direct cargo flight between Mombasa and the UAE. Other countries affected by the ban are Afghanistan, Libya, 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... , Algeria, Iraq, Leb ...an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. The Leb civil war, between 1975 and 1990, lasted a little over 145 years and produced 120,000 fatalities. The average length of a ceasefire was measured in seconds. The Lebs maintain a precarious sectarian balance among Shiites, Sunnis, and about a dozeen flavors of Christians. It is the home of Hezbollah, which periodically starts a war with the Zionist Entity, gets Beirut pounded to rubble, and then declares victory and has a parade. The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers... , Pakistain and Tunisia, Iran, The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire... , Syria and Somalia.
Citing a document issued by a UAE owned state business park, Rooters said the ban was effected due to security reasons. It shall only affect those applying for new visas. It is still not clear how many categories of visas will be affected by the suspension. UAE has several visa categories including tourist, student, transit and business. Nevertheless, the ban which came into effect on November 18 courtesy of an immigration circular did not have specific concerns that Abu Dhabi has on issuing visas to citizens of the affected countries.
"It was not clear if there were any exceptions to the ban. The UAE's Federal Authority for Identity and Citizenship had no immediate comment," said Rooters. Government front man Cyrus Oguna did not respond to our questions on why exactly Kenya was part of a list of countries whose majority had somehow unstable security situations back home.
Quoting an unnamed diplomat, Rooters said that some of the listed states have strained relationships with the UAE. Pakistain which is the only country in the list that has publicly admitted its citizens have been locked from accessing the UAE, said it had written to Abu Dhabi seeking an explanation. The Pakistain Foreign Ministry however said it suspects that the suspension was related to the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague) ...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men... pandemic.
Almost all countries in the list are currently grappling with the very high Covid 19 infection rates. Yesterday, Kenya recorded 780 new Covid-19 cases from 6,158 samples raising nationwide tally to 80,102. This is as the number of fatalities rose to 1,427 after 10 more patients succumbed to the virus.

It certainly pays off to be one of Turkey’s rough-edged country cousins — first some get moved into “abandoned” Kurdish properties on the Syrian side of the border, now more get moved into “abandoned” Albanian properties in Nagorno-Karabakh.

[IsraelTimes] Probe comes after British MPs express outrage when smart speaker mines partial quotations from websites, cites sources lacking credibility to produce false, anti-Semitic answers.
Tech giant Amazon said on Thursday it was investigating after its smart speaker was found to give anti-Semitic responses to questions about the Holocaust and conspiracy theories.
The issue came to light after a British politician initially raised the matter in a letter to Home Secretary Priti Patel, saying he was "deeply alarmed" by the tech program’s responses to certain questions.
Andrew Percy, who also serves as vice-chairman of the Conservative Friends of Israel parliamentary group, said that when prompted the Alexa technology "responds to various questions about Jewish people, the Holocaust and the State of Israel by quoting anti-Semitic conspiracy websites and using selective quotes from other sources which are misleading without further information."
Percy wrote that when asked if "the elders of Zion control the world," Alexa responded by quoting a website that said: "The swindlers of Zion have revealed their scheme to subjugate the nations and gain control of the world."
In a separate letter, from the All-Party Parliamentary Group Against Antisemitism, MPs said that the "full article describes the claim as ’viciously anti-Semitic,’ but Alexa omits this crucial point."
The group raised the concerns in a letter to the Amazon chief in the UK, John Boumphrey.
In a video posted on the Twitter account of the Conservative Friends of Israel, Percy is heard asking Alexa whether "Jews control the media."
The smart speaker responded by quoting an article called "Jew watch" which it said was on Wikipedia and which "claims Jews control the world’s financial systems and media."
The All-Party Parliamentary Group Against Antisemitism said they were "appalled" to find that Alexa mines information "from anti-Semitic websites and conspiracy theories, using selective quotes and misleading sources in answer to a number of questions about Jewish people, the Holocaust and anti-Semitism."
The group said Alexa’s response quoted a Wikipedia article that described Holocaust denial as propagating false statements about the Holocaust, but "selectively uses a line within the article that does not include this important clarification."
The letter went on to list a number of Alexa’s responses to questions such as: "Was the Holocaust a hoax?" or "Is Israel guilty of war crimes?"
The organization found a number of instances in which the gadget used partial quotations from websites, or cited sources lacking credibility, which resulted in the production of false and anti-Semitic responses.
In a statement, Amazon said that "anti-Semitism and discrimination of any kind are unacceptable."
"Alexa pulls from a variety of sources to respond to questions. We are investigating this and have blocked the responses reported," the company said.
[Aljazeera] France is leading a push for European Union sanctions on Turkey next month to follow through on a threat made by the bloc in October, but has yet to win support from EU governments beyond Greece and Cyprus, officials and diplomats have said.
Paris says Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has not heeded EU leaders’ warnings on October 1 to back down in a dispute over gas exploration in the Mediterranean or face consequences.
The European Parliament is expected on Thursday to call for sanctions, decrying Erdogan’s visit earlier this month to the breakaway Turkish Cypriot north of the island of Cyprus.
"Turkey knows what it needs to do," France’s Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian told a French parliamentary hearing this week.
"Confrontation or collaboration, it’s up to them."
EU leaders on December 10-11 will meet to discuss a range of issues, including external relations and the ongoing dispute between Turkey and EU member states Greece and Cyprus.
The Turkish Foreign Ministry has criticised the EU for discussing sanctions, saying such debate was not helpful.

[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] The Post Millennial can report the verified identity of one of the masked Antifa ...the armed wing of the Democratic Party... bandidosforces of Evil involved in pepper-spraying people at a pro-police protest in Portland last week.
Isabel Rosa Araujo, formerly known as Philip Vincent Haskins-Delici, is a 35-year-old Portland-based transsexual Antifa krazed killer with a history of extremism. Araujo was part of a group of around 20 Antifa in black bloc who confronted a small conservative pro-police rally last Thursday afternoon in downtown Portland. The two sides argued with each other outside the Justice Center before Araujo, who was wearing a gas mask, used bear mace against one of the right-wing protesters. She was not arrested for assault.
Though this was the latest incident involving Araujo, she has a long history of far-left extremism that once caught the attention of federal authorities. Originally from New Jersey and a one-time Philadelphia resident, Araujo is a prominent Antifa krazed killer in Portland known for creating propaganda drawings and her participation in protests.
Under various monikers, she posts obsessively about Antifa and Maoist politics. She even has an Antifa tattoo on her chest.
On her blog, "Ramblings of a Black-Clad Trans Femme," Araujo wrote in a March 2019 entry under the pen name "Crime Minister of Antifa" that she was investigated by the U.S. Secret Service and Philadelphia law enforcement in 2008 after drawing a graphic cartoon showing late Republican Arizona senator John Maverick McCain ... the late Senator-for-Life from Arizona, former presidential candidate and even more former foot soldier in the Reagan Revolution. As an ordinary citizen he greased the infamous hookers peeing on the Obamabed in Moscow dossier in an attempt to smear President Trump... being shot in the head.
Araujo is also a prolific social media user under various anonymously-run accounts. On Mastodon, an unmoderated open-source social media network similar to Twitter, she posts under the username "@AnarchaTransLatinx." Many of her posts show photographs of her posing in black bloc with guns.

Question:
Is it Islamophobia or Eyes Wide Open reality?
Given the cultural and ingrained Islamic religious required practice that mandates either death or slavery of all infidels.
The general process seen to date.
1. Small Immigration into NON-Islamic open minded countries. ie. Europe, England, the USA and etc.
2. Grow the numbers in focused area (Minnesota, London, and major cities)
3. Funding of appeasement & understanding movement in the country they are trying to convert.
4. Seek Power, become Political by using OCONUS funding $$$$, for US House Rep's, Senators and Large city (London Mayor) elected positions
5. Start pushing a constant increasing Islamic Agenda. Always demanding a MORE tolerance and acceptance to their practices at are totally out sync with the social norms with the country they immigrated.
6. Radicals start random terrorist attacks (1000+ in the USA already and 100+ in England and 100+ in Europe) to push more tolerances.
7. Have Islamic Community Leader play peace advocate roles presenting solutions.
8. As Non-Islamic parties seek peace, the radicals will increase demands for more Islamic Religious Laws and Enforcement processes will continue.
8. Non-Islamic Political & Touchy-Feely types take a knee and allow some greater latitudes. Hoping greater appeasement will be the answer.
9. What do you think Step #9 is....?
I think it becomes repeated circle of Steps 6, 7, & 8.
[IsraelTimes] Mohsen Fakhrizadeh is latest, and most prominent, of numerous leading researchers assassinated over past decade, in remarkably similar attacks Iran has ascribed to US and Israel.
Several Iranian scientists working in the nuclear sector have been killed over the past decade in assassinations blamed by Tehran on Israel and the US, with the latest liquidation coming on Friday.

In 2014 the US pressured Israel to stop liquidations in Iran, as the B.O. regime made a push to seal a nuclear deal with Tehran — which was eventually signed in 2015
Giddyup.
Take em all out, every Iranian nuclear scientist, before year end

I'm think Iran would *love* to export some of their weapons and know-how (particularly IED-making and planting) to Antifa or BLM.
What's scary is that under President Biden/Harris they might be allowed to.
[IsraelTimes] Australian media says Kylie Moore-Gilbert was detained at Tehran airport in 2018 after Iranian authorities learned that her partner came from Jewish state, which led to claims she was a spy for Israel, Australian media reported Friday.
[ALMASDARNEWS] Since the start of November, the Ottoman Turkish Armed Forces have withdrawn from several areas in northwestern Syria, as they consolidate their troops in the remaining bad boy-held regions of the country.According to a field source in the Aleppo Governorate, the Ottoman Turkish Armed Forces have begun withdrawing from two imperative areas in northwestern Syria: Saraqib and Rashideen 5th.
The source reported that the Ottoman Turkish Armed Forces have already begun withdrawing their troops and military equipment from these aforementioned areas, putting an end to their months-long presence.
The Ottoman Turkish Armed Forces have been besieged at these observation posts for months, following the Syrian Arab Army’s (SAA) large-scale advance across the northwestern part of the country.
Moreover, with virtually nowhere to go at these observation posts, The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire... reached an agreement with their Russian counterparts to withdraw from these areas, a move seen in Damascus as a victory for their forces, especially after Ankara previously claimed they would not abandon these posts under any circumstances.
An army source in Damascus told al-Masdar that the withdraw comes at an important time when the government is working to reestablish the railroad from Aleppo to Damascus, along with the imperative M-5 Highway (Aleppo-Damascus Highway), which has been out of service for years.
While the move may be celebrated as a victory for Damascus, the Ottoman Turkish Armed Forces remain a major obstacle inside the country, especially in regards to preventing the Syrian Arab Army from further advancing into areas inside Aleppo and Idlib.

[ALMASDARNEWS] The Chief of the General Staff of the Iranian Army, Major General Muhammad Bagheri, said that the ability of the navy of his forces had thwarted the plans of foreign powers to control the region.Fars News reported that on Friday morning, Bagheri had said in a statement, on the occasion of the 32nd anniversary of the end of the Iraq-Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites.

Bagheri continued: "The naval forces succeeded in thwarting the plans of global arrogance and foreign powers to control the security components of the region, and they made Islamic Iran a carrier of a message of peace, friendship and security in regional and international waters."
Major General Muhammad Bagheri indicated that the Iranian Navy has succeeded in expanding its strategic depth from the shores of the Gulf, the Sea of Oman and the northern Indian Ocean to the high seas and distant oceans, and is playing its sensitive role as a safe haven across the region, stressing that the necessities arising from the potential threats require the continuation of this process of firm progress.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) recently conducted its largest naval exercises ever, as over 1,000 warships took part in these movements in the Strait of Hormuz.
