14 Al-Shabab Members Killed In Southern Somalia
[RADIOSHABELLE] The Somali military on Tuesday killed at least 14 al-Shabaab

terrorists, including an operational commander, when they attacked a government-controlled town in southern Somalia, an official said.Ismail Mukhtar, a Somali government front man, told Anadolu Agency (AA) that the Somali national army repulsed the attack in Balcad in the Middle Shabelle region.

"The murderous Moslems crossed the river early morning and attacked the town but they were inflicted with huge casualties. One government soldier was killed and six others maimed," he said.

While the al-Qaeda-affiliated terrorist group claimed it had captured the town, the official said the government had restored law and order. Balcad is a strategic agricultural town located 30 kilometers (18 miles) northeast of the capital Mogadishu.

On Monday, five Somali soldiers were killed and several others injured in a boom-mobile outside the force’s base in the south, a regional Somali government official said. One U.S. service member was also maimed in the attack, according to a statement from U.S. African Command.

The bomber detonated a vehicle packed with explosives at the entrance to a military base in Janay Abdalla, a village about 60 kilometers outside the southern port city of Kismayo
...a port city in the southern Lower Juba province of Somalia, at the extreme southern end of the country (always assuming Somalia can be called a country). It is the commercial capital of the autonomous Jubaland region....
. al-Shabaab claimed they were behind the attack and put the number of dead at 20.

Suicide Bomber Kills 3, Including Child, In Somali Capital
[RADIOSHABELLE] A Somali official says a jacket wallah has killed at least three civilians, including a young boy, at a restaurant in Somalia’s capital.

The front man for Somalia’s information ministry tells The News Agency that Dare Not be Named that seven other people were maimed when the bomber detonated a boom jacket outside the restaurant near a security checkpoint close to the presidential palace in Mogadishu.

There is no immediate claim of responsibility for the blast, but the al-Qaeda-linked al-Shabaab

Large LNA convoy seen heading to front-line coastal region
[ALMASDARNEWS] The military front man for the Ottoman Turkish-backed Government of National Accord (GNA) forces, Colonel Pilot Mohammad Qununu, announced that a large armored convoy belonging to the Libyan National Army (LNA) was observed heading to the Sirte and al-Jafrah area.Qununu said that the Intelligence and Information Analysis Unit of the Operations Command "observed the movement of an armed convoy of 80 military vehicles of Haftar’s terrorist militia from al-Jafrah to al-Lud in the south."

The military front man of the Government of National Accord in Tripoli
...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn...
pointed out that these movements "coincided with suspicious military build-ups," which he said were "terrorist militias backed by mercenaries."

Qununu added, in particular, that instructions were given to the GNA forces, to "fully prepare and wait for the Supreme Commander’s instructions, to deal and respond to the sources of fire at the appropriate place and time."

The Libyan National Army has not responded to these latest allegations from the Government of National Accord.

UN report says rebels in Yemen recruited teenage girls
[EN.ANNAHAR] U.N.-backed experts have found evidence that rebels in Yemen recruited nearly three dozen teenage girls — some said to be survivors of sexual violence — as spies, medics, guards and members of an all-female force, according to a report released Wednesday.

The findings came in the third and latest report by the “group of eminent experts” commissioned by the Human Rights Council to investigate alleged rights violations by all sides in the war since September 2014. The devastating conflict in the Arab world’s poorest country has spawned what the United Nations calls the world’s greatest humanitarian crisis.

“The parties to the conflict continue to show no regard for international law or the lives, dignity, and rights of the people of Yemen, while third states have helped perpetuate the conflict by continuing to supply the parties with weapons,” said the report.

The report, based on more than 400 accounts and focusing mainly on a period from July 2019 to June this year, highlighted how a generation of Yemen’s children have been “immeasurably damaged through child recruitment, abuse, and deprivation of their most basic human rights, including education.”

The legislative director for the speaker of the House in Portland's state legislature was arrested during a protest that evolved into a riot Saturday night.

Kristina Narayan, who has worked for Democratic state Rep. Katie Kotek since September 2016, according to her LinkedIn profile, was charged with one count of "Interfering with a Peace Officer."

"Kristina Narayan was arrested for Interfering with a Police Officer after the event became a riot and the crowd was given multiple orders to disperse, which she did not do," a spokesperson for the Portland police department told Fox News.

#7  Apparently police has the capability to easily defeat and neutralize Antifa/BLM type rioters.

The devastating riots became possible only because the police's political leadership lacked the intent to quell them.

The rioters are de facto agents of leftist local and state governments (next year possibly the federal government) acting with somewhat plausible deniability.

The respective leftist governments aren't 'weak' or 'feckless.' They're effectively using force.

#12  It has occurred to me that now that Big Corporate, especially Sportsball, Inc. is super tied to the BLM message, and the BLM is super tied to Antifa thanks to the white Antifa kids causing violence in the name of BLM, that Big Corporate has a vested interest in the appearance of BLM and may consider, shall we say, private and discrete ways of dealing with those who are ruining their imaging campaign...

#14  Big Corp bought into Blamtifa he way they bought into gerbil worming: as a way to buy Virtue on the cheap. They call that "greenwashing."

Giving hundreds of millions to Blamtifa is blackwashing. To be expensed on the corporate income statement under "Marketing"
Posted by: Woozle Gray8686 || 09/10/2020 18:51 Comments || Top||

#15  Sportsball, Slave Shoes, and EntertainMouse (among others) in this marketing and branding didn't get a snazzy new suit or catchy prop, they got tattoos.

They are courting China for the future, but their bread and butter is still the USA. Literally each of those industries have $billions on the table.

Every time someone is kept from commuting home after work, every time people are harassed as they are eating or shopping, every time decent people are dragged to seminars to be yelled at, every time someone gets thumped, their image is tarnished, sympathy dimensihed, customers lost.

What is to keep them from hiring and bribing agents in the BLM movement to influence the message to their favor? Whats to keep them from performing a coup on the leadership? And to do that, they will have to purge the current honchos.

BLM, Antifa, and Mega Corporation are all relying on political influence to increase their influence and bottom line. That is the realm of the politician, and if we know anything about politicians they will sell their influence up to the point where it threatens their power, which is their bottom line.

They may all be nominally on the same side, but they are not on the same team. The olde guard may be fine, but the ambitious ladder climbers probably aren't having spent years to position themselves as the next line to be sold out when they become threats to each other and the established honchos within their own team.

They've all stabbed each other in the back already, the suspicion and office politics must be excruciating.

#16  The ground pounders must know that at any moment, they can be rolled up, their cells compromised, as a pawn on the chess board.

The Capital Pieces must know, that the pawns move and attack both direction in this game.

The pawns only win if all the Capital Pieces are eliminated and survive the opposing side. The Capital Pieces win only if the opponent is defeated and there are too few 'friendly' pawns left to take them out.

Antifa militants brutally assault independent journalist in Portland
[THEPOSTMILLENNIAL] Last night, Antifa
...the armed wing of the Democratic Party...
black bloc bully boyz assaulted a journalist in Portland, Ore. Tayler Hansen reported that he was beaten by four people wearing Antifa Black Bloc.

Hansen was reporting undercover when he was spotted and recognized. He left the area to change his appearance.

He was told by a holy warrior to "stop misrepresenting" himself. It was after he had changed that two men looked at him, he reports, and addressed him by name. Another pointed him out on social media, altering other agitators to his presence.

As officers can be heard to tell people to leave the area, the men can be heard saying Hansen's name.

He reports that it was after this that he attempted to leave the area without incident. Only a few blocks away, however, four individuals in Black Bloc were waiting for him.

Hansen states that they beat him, punched him, kicked him, and left him bloody. They yelled at him to "stay out of Portland b*tch!"

These people who commit assaults on the free press are claiming to be peaceful protestors.

Hansen is an independent journalist and founder of #BabyLivesMatter.

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Huge fire breaks out at Beirut port a month after explosion
[Ynet] A huge fire broke out Thursday at the Port of Beirut, triggering panic among residents traumatized by last month's massive explosion there that killed and injured thousands of people.

It was not immediately clear what caused the fire at the facility, which was decimated by the Aug. 4 explosion when nearly 3,000 tons of ammonium nitrate detonated, triggering a shock wave explosion that blasted windows, doors and walls miles away.

A column of black smoke billowed from the port at midday Thursday, with orange flames leaping from the ground.

The Lebanese army said the fire is at a warehouse where oil and tires are placed in the duty free zone at the port adding that fighting the blaze is ongoing and that army helicopters are taking part in the operation.

Russian warplanes strike jihadist stronghold near Turkish border
[ALMASDARNEWS] The Russian Air Force was seen conducting a number of strikes over the northeastern countryside of Latakia on Wednesday, as their warplanes struck the positions of the jihadist forces near the Ottoman Turkish border.According to reports from the Latakia Governorate, the Russian Air Force targeted the positions of the Turkestan Islamic Party (TIP)
... Uighur jihadi group based in Badakshan, Afghanistan and listed under Tehrik-e-Taliban in the Al Qaeda organization table. Their Syria subsidiary currently reports to Al Nusra in the Idlib-Latakia region, where the Russians and Americans take turns shooting them — they’re on their third Number 1 in three years...
at the key town of Kabani, which is considered the aforementioned jihadist group’s main stronghold in the Latakia Governorate.

The Russian Air Force’s attack coincided with the heavy artillery strikes that were carried out by the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) troops in the Jabal al-Akrad region of northeastern Latakia.

In the past, the Syrian Arab Army has attempted to capture Kabani from the jihadist forces; however, due to the rough terrain and strong fortifications of TIP and Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham, formerly al-Nusra, before that it was called something else
...al-Qaeda's Syrian affiliate, from which sprang the Islamic State...
(HTS) in the area, they have been unable to make any significant gains.

The Syrian Army’s High Command has endeavored to capture Kabani since 2017, as its proximity to the key city of Jisr al-Shughour and its high elevation makes it a top priority for Damascus in Latakia.
