-War on Police-
Suspect arrested in murder of Jewish synagogue leader Samantha Woll in Detroit was released because cops FAILED to file paperwork - including warrant for arrest
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • The revelation, offered this week by the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office, comes almost a month after Samantha Woll was found stabbed to death outside her home

  • On Friday, after being held for 72 hours, the suspect was released - days after the city's police chief announced to reporters they'd taken in a person of interest

  • The decision was made after the suspect made a statement not enough to warrant charges

Britain
What Suella Braverman wrote in her parting shot to Rishi Sunak... and why she wrote it
Mrs Braverman reveals a previously unknown written deal with Rishi Sunak, setting out areas in which she says he agreed to back her.

These included several specific policies on immigration, as well as on post-Brexit agreements and protecting biological sex and 'same sex spaces'.

She says Mr Sunak agreed to a 'document with clear terms' during his second leadership campaign in October last year, in exchange for her 'pivotal' support in his bid to take over from Liz Truss as Prime Minister. Mrs Braverman goes on to accuse him of then treating their deal with 'equivocation, disregard and a lack of interest'.

Mrs Braverman confirms for the first time that she wanted the Illegal Migration Act — passed earlier this year — to go much further.

She believed it would be necessary to disapply human rights law in illegal migration cases, making it easier to deport people.

But Mr Sunak insisted on 'compromises' in the legislation, she says.

Mrs Braverman asserts that, even if the Government wins its appeal over legal challenges to its Rwanda policy in the UK's Supreme Court today, ministers will 'struggle' to implement it.

...Mrs Braverman makes the remarkable claim that the Prime Minister failed to reply to 'multiple' letters in which she proposed a back-up plan to the Rwanda scheme.

She is not specific about what the scheme would have involved.

But her letter says she 'repeatedly' urged Mr Sunak to pass new laws that 'would better secure us against the possibility of defeat'.

She accuses him of having 'no appetite for doing what is necessary'.

Mrs Braverman confirms there is 'no hope of flights this side of an election' if the Supreme Court rules against the Government today.

Caucasus/Russia/Central Asia
Ministry of Internal Affairs puts Abakar Abakarov on the wanted list
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
This is about agitating for the Makhachkala airport riot on October 29.
[KavkazUzel] Abakar Abakarov appeared in the “Wanted” database of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs; under what article the search is being conducted is not indicated in the card. Abakarov is the alleged administrator of the Telegram channel “Morning Dagestan,” a police source said.

As the " Caucasian Knot " wrote, versions on the topic of who is behind the "Morning Dagestan" channel are periodically published on the network . Well-known journalist Timur Olevsky and anonymous channels made assumptions, but the people they named, among whom was Abakar Abakarov, did not make confessions. In particular, the anonymous Telegram channel published a list of 12 names involved in running “Morning Dagestan,” which includes one woman.

Telegram founder Pavel Durov promised to block channels that called for violence, publishing a screenshot of a message from the Morning Dagestan channel on his Telegram channel. A few minutes later the channel became unavailable. After this, clones of this channel appeared on Telegram. The head of Dagestan, Sergei Melikov, in an address published on his telegram channel on the night of October 30-31, said that the mass protests at the Makhachkala airport were influenced by “the enemies of Dagestan and Russia ,” who applied the principle of “divide and conquer.”

The Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs has put Abakar Abakarov on the wanted list. “Abakarov Abakar Abakarovich, nationality - Dargin. Wanted under article of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation,” follows from the “Wanted” database of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs. Abakarov’s card does not indicate under what article the search is being conducted. 

Abakarov is the alleged administrator of the Telegram channel "Morning Dagestan", through which the riots at the Makhachkala airport were coordinated, TASS reported today, citing a source in law enforcement agencies.

Insan Foundation spoke about the logistics of helping the Palestinians
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[KavkazUzel] Representatives of the Insan Foundation in Egypt agreed with the Red Crescent movement, which has access to the Gaza Strip, to transfer food and medicines that are purchased with funds collected by residents of Dagestan. Also, part of the charitable assistance will be sent from Dagestan by plane of the Ministry of Emergency Situations.

As the Caucasian Knot wrote, the Dagestan Insan Foundation announced on October 19 that it was raising funds for the Palestinians, with the first seven million being collected in five hours. The next day, the fund reported that 20 million rubles had been collected. Funds to help the Palestinians  continue to flow , despite the fact that the collection is closed, the Insan Foundation reported on October 24. The head of Dagestan, Sergei Melikov, reported on November 3 that the residents of the republic had collected more than 90 million rubles to help the Palestinians.

Muslims in the North Caucasus reacted sharply to the escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. In Dagestan,  the majority of residents empathize with the Palestinians  , not only out of religious solidarity, but also for humanistic reasons, said Makhachkala residents interviewed by the Caucasian Knot. You can read about who and how in the North Caucasus expressed support for Palestine in the “Caucasian Knot” document “ Actions in support of Palestine in the North Caucasus.”

Representatives of the Insan Foundation have been working to deliver humanitarian aid from the very beginning of events in connection with the aggravation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict to this day, a representative of the foundation told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.

“All this time, our representative Muhammad Mamatkhanov has been in Egypt, who has been conducting the necessary negotiations and meetings. Finally, weeks of active work have yielded results. Our film crew went to cover this humanitarian mission. Now the guys are in Cairo, where the process of implementing the collection begins ", a representative of the press service of the Insan Foundation told the Caucasian Knot correspondent.

He clarified that the amount collected through the Insan application from October 19 to 20 amounted to 20 million rubles. “Daghestanis continue to donate funds for Palestinians through the Insan fund. Some transfer funds through the fast payment system, others come and donate to the fund personally. Many of our subscribers asked to open a new collection. We, in turn, were in no hurry to do this ", as we were working to establish contacts and select the most effective way to transfer humanitarian aid. Now that we have found such channels, we can talk about re-collection," the foundation said.

A representative of the Insan Foundation said that a way had been found to transfer the necessary assistance to the residents of Gaza.

Representatives of the fund are already purchasing part of the food from Egypt. The second part will soon depart from Dagestan on a special plane of the Ministry of Emergency Situations. In Egypt, employees of the Insan Foundation will hand over all the humanitarian cargo to representatives of the international Red Crescent movement, since so far only they have access to the territory of Gaza; it is their trucks that pass through the Rafah checkpoint.

He added that the funds raised will be used to purchase and donate medicines, food and drinking water. Representatives of the Red Crescent reported the list of needs to the management of the fund, as they are aware of the situation inside Gaza.

“It is very important for our foundation that assistance reaches the population of the Gaza Strip in full. It is equally important to justify the trust of our donors. That is why representatives of the foundation personally went to Egypt to collect information on the possible and most successful ways to deliver targeted assistance. We will monitor the whole process, as far as possible, as was done previously in other similar gatherings in Syria, Morocco, Libya, Afghanistan,” a representative of the Insan Foundation told the “Caucasian Knot” correspondent.

The Grand Turk
Turkey demands that Netanyahu be tried at the ICC 'for genocide' in the Gaza Strip
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] The Istanbul Prosecutor General's Office sent a request to the Turkish Ministry of Justice demanding that a criminal case be opened against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu , CNN Turk reports.

The authors of the appeal believe that the head of the Israeli government must answer before the law in the International Criminal Court (ICC) for allegedly “genocide” in the Gaza Strip.

As Regnum reported , on November 14, the lawyer of the ruling Justice and Development Party in Turkey, Metin Kulunk , informed that he had submitted a petition to the ICC through the Turkish Ministry of Justice demanding that Netanyahu be tried for “the genocide that he committed in the Gaza Strip.”

The lawsuit was filed on behalf of three party lawyers. It consists of 23 pages. The authors of the appeal demand the collection of evidence of “crimes” against the Palestinian people, of which Netanyahu is allegedly guilty.

On November 9, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that Western countries are acting hypocritically and using double standards in their policies in relation to the situation in the Gaza Strip. He also noted that Western states were silently observing the massacre in Gaza from a distance.

Inside the Darién Gap - Agenda 2030 Mass Migation Plan Exposed
[Muckraker] This report exposes key information essential to understanding the US southern border crisis in its entirety.

This investigation by muckraker.com proves that the implosion of the United States' southern border is the intentional result of careful planning and is part of the United Nations "2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development" aka Agenda 2030.

Muckraker.com brings you inside the Darién Gap, Panama, where migrants bound for the United States are being aided and abetted in their journey by government and non-government organizations. The mass migration of people to the US is encouraged and funded by various international organizations that provide migrants with care, assistance, and migration instructions.

One cannot understand the US southern border crisis without understanding the situation in the Darién Gap.

Home Front: WoT
Biden Mulls Approval of Fresh $10 Billion for Iran
[FreeBeacon] Sanctions waiver frees up money for Tehran as it funds Hamas’s war on Israel.

The Biden administration may approve a sanctions waiver on Tuesday that will allow Iran to access at least $10 billion in previously frozen funds held in Iraq, a closely watched decision that comes just a month after the Tehran-backed terror group Hamas launched an attack on Israel that left 1,200 dead.

The waiver would extend the multibillion-dollar sanctions relief first issued in July that expires tomorrow. It allows Iraq to transfer frozen electricity payments into Iranian-owned bank accounts in Europe and Oman. The waiver renewal is driving concerns that the Biden administration is maintaining financial avenues for Tehran as the country’s terrorist proxies foment chaos across the Middle East.

"The world is living in a post-Oct. 7 world, but the White House is still running an Oct. 6 policy toward Iran," Richard Goldberg, a senior adviser at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and sanctions expert who previously served on the White House National Security Council, told the Washington Free Beacon, referring to Hamas’s attack last month. "Why should Iran have any access to more than $10 billion after sponsoring one of the worst terrorist attacks against American citizens and the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust? It would make more sense to freeze all of these accounts and keep every penny out of Tehran's hands."

John Fetterman attends pro-Israel rally
[Washington Examiner] Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) attended a large pro-Israel rally in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday.

The Pennsylvania Democrat was spotted at the rally wearing his signature hoodie and draped in an Israeli flag.

"Of course I'm here, how could I not!" he reportedly answered when asked about his attendance at the rally.
More accurately, he said: "Wherever I go, there I am. Of course I'm here"

Jewish community honored the memory of a native of Volgograd who died in Israel
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[KavkazUzel] Shlomo (Dmitry) Reshetnikov, a native of Volgograd who died in Israel, was unveiled at the main cemetery in Israel. The memorial ceremony was also held in the Volgograd synagogue. It was decided to install a memorial plaque with the name of the military man on the building of the Jewish school in the city.

The fighting between Israel and the Palestinian Hamas movement began on October 7 with terrorist attacks on Israeli populated areas and the firing of hundreds of rockets into Israeli territory, which also targeted civilian targets and civilians. The Israel Defense Forces responded by launching the Iron Swords military operation against Hamas, after which Israel announced a blockade of the Gaza Strip: supplies of water, food, electricity, medicine, and fuel were suspended. Thousands of people died on both sides .

On October 7, 20-year-old Reshetnikov was among the IDF servicemen - a staff sergeant in the 51st Golani Brigade unit. For several days, Shlomo was listed among the missing, but later the body of the deceased was found. The fact of death was officially confirmed by the military attaché of the Israeli Embassy in Moscow. Reshetnikov was buried in Israel's main national cemetery. Here the country's leaders and people who gave their lives for it find peace. On November 12, a gravestone was erected on Mount Herzel at the resting place of the fallen, according to the Volgograd Jewish Community page on the VKontakte social network.

Dmitry grew up in Volgograd. Here he attended the Or Avner comprehensive Jewish school. In 2017, the young man was repatriated under the Naale program. He lived alone in Israel; his mother Natalya remained in Volgograd. A memorial ceremony in honor of Reshetnikov took place in the Volgograd synagogue, about 40 people gathered, reports the publication "Notebook. Volgograd".

A plaque in memory of a native of Volgograd, Dmitry Reshetnikov, who served in the Israeli army and died as a result of hostilities in Israel, will appear on the building of a Jewish school in Volgograd, with reference to the chairman of the board of the Volgograd Jewish Community Center, Yael Ioffe, reports TASS. “The idea of ​​making a memorial plaque on the building of the Or Avner school was voiced by a classmate [of Dmitry Reshetnikov], she takes up the organization. We are talking about a memorial plaque,” ​​the agency quotes Yael Ioffe as saying.
