Mini Bio (1)

Martha Hyer was born on August 10, 1924 in Fort Worth, Texas. Once she finished her formal schooling, Martha played a bit role in 1946's The Locket (1946). Slowly, Martha began picking up roles with more and more substance. The best years for the beautiful actress began in 1954 when she played in films such as Down Three Dark Streets (1954), Showdown at Abilene (1956) and Battle Hymn (1957). Perhaps the best role of her long career was as "Gwen French" in 1958's Some Came Running (1958) in which she starred opposite Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Shirley MacLaine. As a result of her stellar role, Martha received an Academy Award nomination as Best Supporting Actress, but she lost out to Wendy Hiller in Separate Tables (1958). Afterwards, Martha's stint on the US silver screen's trailed off some. She did make a handful of foreign films, returning to appear in the US from time to time, but nothing compared to the pace she had in the fifties. Her last film was in 1973 in the film The Day of the Wolves (1971). In 1966, she married producer Hal B. Wallis and remained with him until his death in 1986.

-War on Police-
Manhunt Underway After Suspect Shoots Florida Officer in Head During Vehicle Inspection
[THEEPOCHTIMES] An on-duty patrol officer in Florida who was inspecting a "suspicious vehicle" Wednesday night was rushed to the hospital after the driver shot him in the head, a video of the incident shows.

The shooting prompted a county-wide lockdown and the Daytona Beach Police Department is offering a $100,000 reward "for anyone who can help authorities locate the man who shot one of our officers in the head," a statement from the agency reads.

Authorities have identified the suspect as Othal Wallace, a 29-year-old black male, who was behind the wheels of a gray 2016 Honda HRV with Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, tag 7TNX532 at the time of the inspection and shooting.

The Volusia County Sheriff’s Department said in a blurb Wallace is considered "armed & dangerous" and urges anyone with information on the suspect to contact 911 "immediately."

The identity of the maimed officer is currently withheld, but Daytona Beach Police Chief Jakari Young confirmed he is at the Halifax Health Medical Center in Daytona Beach.

"No change in the status of my hero who was shot in the line of duty last night," Young said on Twitter early on Thursday in the latest update. "He’s fighting while all of us are praying."

A separate blurb from the department reads the officer is out of surgery but remains at death's door.

Young told news hounds during a press briefing there are more than 500 coppers that have responded in the area and they are currently committed to doing everything they can to hunt down Wallace.

"I’m grateful for every agency that has responded over here tonight to help us because they are committed to staying out here until we have this coward in jug," the chief said.

In a 29-second clip from the incident, Wallace is seen on the body-camera video from the officer shooting at him shortly after he started a conversation, asking the suspect if he was living here.
Update: Othal was found hiding in a treehouse in Atlanta. Someone left the irony on
Frank G’s link names the gentleman as Othal Toreyane Resheen Wallace, which is a dreadful thing to do to a brand new baby.

#1  Put down these effing savages. Enough.

#2  Surround him at a sparsely populated spot, point your cop-cams away from him and at random things, while one guy does a wakandan impression shouting stuff like 'I be killin' y'all!' etc. Target should be heard not seen. Make sure the action is in a blind spot for all cams. The lead shooter should have his cam's line of sight obscured by car roof or pillar, like he's shooting from cover. Everyone shouts 'Active misdemeanant... err, misdemeaming!' and other police inanities, while the target is perforated.

Now, wearing latex gloves, place an illegal gun [always have these handy] in his hand and fire some rounds into your own car. The team keeps mouthing nonsense about 'look for other shooters' and 'check if anybody's hurt!' and waving their chest cams around everywhere else.

Cops and ATF in other countries have similar routines like it, called 'encounter baazi [as in bachabaazi?]' or anti-forensics by some. Jointly developed by army and paramilitary to kill legally defended insurgents, and adapted by cops to great effect nowadays. But ours only had to contend with street CCTV [thank Gawd!]. I understand this might take some staging and prep, but cam-screwed cops should spend time evolving such tactics.

#3  ^Are black people evil?

#4  /\ Cultures are bred into depravity and evil.
Posted by: Besoeker || 06/26/2021 4:12 Comments || Top||

#5 
Evil is a possibility in us all. And nobody's a saint when you think of it. What separates people you can coexist with from people you cannot, is their willingness to respect some universal rights. Some cultures have no concept of such things, and instead glorify wanton cruelty, immorality and chaos. You know what these cultures are. They all bear resemblance.

Evil or no, if you identify as part of any community you will bear all its failings and curses. Which is why I favour individualism over group identities. But a society made of strong individuals would not need a bloated houseful of politicians, so those that wish to rule need to divide and label populations, divvy up their constituencies.

The community leaders of blacks have, for generations now, led them into propagating a rogue culture of revenge and robbery justified by bygone injustices. A culture America tolerates to it's own detriment because it absolutely worships words about equality and social justice written by great dead men.

#6  Are black people evil?

That's philosophy, or - maybe - theology. The right question is (IMO): "Can African-American and American cultures coexist?".

#7  /\ "Can African-American and American cultures coexist?".

There appears to be some evidence that adapting to Western culture is more difficult for some than for others. Amalgamation efforts continue (by a long list of other names of course), but evolution to civilization takes time, and the definition of civilization does vary. One could point to the Mesa Verde as somewhat related. Reservations are certainly out of the question. Urban holding pens reinforced by Critical Race Theory and entitlement appear to be the popular solutions.

offensives in Pul-e-Khumri city in Baghlan to break the defensive fronts but they faced strong response by Afghan commandos and police special forces and their attacks were pushed back; however, pressure remains on the capital city.

The security forces assured that they will prevent the Taliban from entering Pul-e-Khumri.

Heavy festivities have been underway on the outskirts of Pul-e-Khumri city for the last five days. But security forces have managed to prevent the group from entering the capital city. Pul-e-Khumri city witnessed intense festivities between security forces and the Taliban on Thursday night. Trapped civilians on both sides of the battlefield spent a night full of panic.

"Clashes are underway. We struck the enemy strongly," said Payenda, a commander of the 888 Police Special Unit.

Baghlan residents are backing Afghan cops by taking arms and fighting along with them. They are protecting every street to prevent the Taliban from entering their city.

"We won’t let the enemy achieve its evil ends," a special forces member Basir Tokhtah said.

Hundreds Take Up Arms Across Afghanistan in Support of ANDSF
Yesterday it was Samangan and Kapisa, today ten more.
[ToloNews] Hundreds of people, many of them armed, on Friday poured into streets in 10 provinces of the country to raise their voice in support of the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces (ANDSF), announcing their preparation to fight the Taliban
...mindless ferocity in a turban...
Those who rallied on streets said they will not allow the Taliban to take over their villages.

In northern Takhar province, a number of women went to the frontline where they distributed food and fruits to the security forces who are battling the Taliban in the area.

"It will be good if we Afghans sit together instead of killing each other," said Mohammad Asher Arab, a tribal elder from Takhar.

"As well as in Farkhar district, the security forces in cooperation with the people dealt major blow to the enemy," Takhar Police Chief Ekramuddin Sari said.

The northern province of Sar-e-Pul
...a city and eponymous province in northern Afghanistan, population about 500,000. Demographically it is majority Tadjik and Uzbek. There are small Pashtun, Arab, and Hazara communities, of which the Hazaras mostly don't bother anyone...
is one of the provinces where the Taliban has taken over several districts. Many residents of the province have taken up arms to fight the Taliban.

"We are taking up arms to mobilize the second generation of resistance to fight against the dark regime of the Taliban, so we will defend until the last drop of our blood," said Ghulam Sakhi, a resident in Ghor province.

"We will wait until next week. If the lost territory is not retaken by the security forces, we will act on our own," said Mohammad Noor Rahmani, the head of Ghor provincial council.

In Khost province
... across the border from Miranshah, within commuting distance of Haqqani hangouts such as Datta Khel and probably within sight of Mordor. Khost is populated by six different tribes of Pashtuns, the largest probably being the Khostwal, from which it takes its name...
, dozens of residents have taken up arms to fight the Taliban.

At least 200 residents of Zabul led by governor Hamidullah Tokhi have taken up arms for the fight against the Taliban, local officials said.

Moreover, some influential political figures have mobilized hundreds of gunnies to support the Afghan forces on the battlefields.

"No one should think that with these takeovers, the Taliban has been equipped and will transfer the tanks to Punjab," Deputy Minister of Interior Naqibullah Fayeq, who has traveled to Baghlan, said.

Africa North
Car-bomb attack wounds 15 UN peacekeepers in north Mali
[AlAhram] The UN said on Twitter that an evacuation was underway after a boom-mobile struck a temporary operational base in the area around Tarkint, in the lawless north of the country, without offering further details

A car-kaboom in northern Mali has maimed 15 UN peacekeepers, the United Nations
...an organization which on balance has done more bad than good, with the good not done well and the bad done thoroughly...
said on Friday, in the latest attack in the war-torn Sahel state.

The UN peacekeeping mission in Mali, known as MINUSMA, has some 13,000 troops drawn from several nations deployed across the vast semi-arid country.

Mali is struggling to contain an Islamist insurgency that erupted in 2012 and which has claimed thousands of military and civilian lives since.

Despite the presence of thousands of French and UN troops, the conflict has engulfed the centre of the country and spread to neighbouring Burkina Faso
...The country in west Africa that they put where Upper Volta used to be. Its capital is Oogadooga, or something like that. Its president is currently Blaise Compaoré, who took office in 1987 and will leave office feet first, one way or the other...
and Niger.

On Monday, six French soldiers and four civilians were maimed when a boom-mobile detonated near a French armoured car in central Mali.

Tunisia rescues 267 migrants stranded at sea
[AlAhram] Tunisia's coastguard said the migrants colonists, who also included three Egyptians, had been stranded at sea after their boat broke down

Tunisia authorities on Thursday rescued 267 migrants colonists, most of them Bangladeshis, who tried to sail from neighbouring Libya to Europa
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
across the Mediterranean, the International Organization for Migration said.

The navy helped bring the migrants colonists to shore at the Ben Guerdane port in southern Tunisia, near the border with Libya, and they were handed over to the IOM and the Red Islamic Thingy, the coastguard said.

The migrants colonists were placed in quarantine at a hotel on the Tunisian island of Djerba, the IOM said.

According to IOM figures, more than 1,000 migrants colonists hoping to reach Europe had set off from Libya and ended up in Tunisia since January, and the number of departures is rising.

There have been 11,000 departures from January to April 2021 from Libya, over 70 percent more than in the same period last year, according to UN refugee agency UNHCR.

The agency said the "deteriorating" conditions of migrants colonists in Libya and Tunisia are pushing many to make the dangerous crossing from the North African coast to Europe.

Red Islamic Thingy official Mongi Slim said centres set up to house migrants colonists in Tunisia are full.

According to the UN, at least 760 people have died making the Mediterranean crossing between January 1 and May 31, compared with 1,400 last year.

Africa Subsaharan
Child soldiers jihadis aged 12-14 massacre 130 in Burkina Faso
[PM News Nigeria] Child soldiers aged between 12 and 14 carried out the massacre in northeast Burkina Faso in which more than 130 people were killed, the United Nations and the government said.

Armed assailants raided the village of Solhan
... in Yagha Province near the border with Niger, meaning either ISIS-linked Boko Haram/ISWAP or Al Qaeda in North Africa-linked JNIM...
on the evening of June 4, opened fire on residents and burned homes.

It was the worst attack in years in an area plagued by jihadists linked to Islamic State and al Qaeda.

Government spokesman Ousseni Tamboura said the majority of the attackers were children, prompting condemnation from the U.N.

Despite interventions from U.N. peacekeepers and international armed forces, attacks by Islamist extremists continue unabated across West Africa’s Sahel region, including neighbouring Mali and Niger.

Local officials in Burkina Faso’s north, where jihadists control large areas, said child soldiers have been used by Islamist groups over the past year, but this month’s attack was by far the highest profile case.

New Houthi targeting of southern Saudi Arabia
[NINANEWS] The 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...
i Ansar Allah / Iran's Houthi sock puppets
...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him...
group announced that it launched a new attack by a drone on King Khalid Air Base in southwest Saudi Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. Fifteen of the nineteen WTC hijackers were Saudis, and most major jihadi commanders were Saudis, to include Osama bin Laden. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman quietly folded that tent in 2016, doing terrible things to the guys running it, and has since been dragging the kingdom into the current century...
The military front man for the Houthis, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, said that the air force targeted today King Khalid Air Base in Khamis Mushait with a 2K bomber plane.

I'm guessing Sudden Jihad Syndrome, though the perp hasn't been ID'd. Ran into a pack, not a herd, didn't he?
He sure did. The first video shows him being held at bay, the second being chased by angry locals. He is very lucky the police stopped him before the crowd did. Deutsche Welle has more:
WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THE SUSPECTED ATTACKER
  • The suspected perpetrator is a 24-year old Somalian man who lives in Würzburg, police said on Twitter

  • He has lived in Würzburg since 2015

  • The suspect was receiving psychiatric care, Herrmann said

  • In the past months, the suspect had drawn attention for "violent actions or readiness," Herrmann said

A MOTIVE FOR THE ATTACK
Investigators are looking into the motivation for the attack. According to a police spokesperson, the suspect is not known to the police for crimes that "lean in the direction of Islamic extremism."

Herrmann said that he is not excluding any possibility: "In any case, there is circumstantial evidence that this could have been an Islamist attack."

Herrmann cited a witness who alleged that the attacker had shouted the common Islamic phrase "Allahu Akbar," which means "God is great."
The Times of Israel points out:
The number of Islamists considered dangerous in Germany rose sharply between 2015 and 2018, according to security services.

But numbers have declined since then, with just 615 considered dangerous by the latest count — compared with 730 in January 2018.

On top of that, there are also 521 people “who have attracted the attention of the security services but have not yet reached the stage of being considered dangerous”.
Update from the Daily Mail at 9:50 a.m. ET:
The suspect had most recently lived in a shelter for the homeless in the city and apparently did not know the victims.

Bavaria's top security official, Joachim Herrmann, said the suspect had been known to police and had been admitted to a psychiatric unit just a few days earlier.

'His condition had been noticed in recent months, including violent mostly peaceful tendencies, and a few days ago he was put into compulsory psychiatric treatment,' Herrmann said.

Take a guess.
The man went into the kitchen department of a store and asked an assistant where the knives were, regional police president Gerhard Kallert said. He seized a knife and stabbed and killed the saleswoman and two more women in the shop.

He then injured five other women seriously, as well as wounding a child, in a bank and on the street.

He was cornered by passers-by before the police shot him in the thigh, Kallert said.

India-Pakistan
NIA charges 7 terrorists of Tehreek-ul-Mujahideen in Poonch conspiracy case
[OneIndia] The National Investigation Agency has filed a chargesheet against 7 turbans of the proscribed terror outfit, Tehrik-ul-Mujahideen (TuM)
...one of Pakistan’s ISI’s catspaws in Kashmir, TuM was founded in 1990. But by the end of the decade the group was on their fourth emir, and subsequently their limited membership has been mainly visiting Paks with a few locals for local flavour. They’ve been seen in the Kashmir Valley in the Beeru belt of Budgam district, Ganderbal, and parts of Srinagar, Anantnag and Pulwama, and gotten funding from the Saudi Arabian Harmain Islamic Foundation — one of the financiers of 9/11, among other little projects — as well as the ISI and Lashkar-e-Taiba...
in connection with the Poonch conspiracy case of 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....
Mohd Mustafa Khan, Mohd Yaseen, Mohd Farooq, Mohd Javid Khan, Sher Ali and Mohd Rafiq have been named in the chargesheet.

The case was first registered under the provisions of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act in the Mendhar Police Station of Poonch District. The case was filed following the arrest of Mohd Mustafa Khan and recovery of 6 hand grenades along with other incriminating documents from his residence. The case was later taken over by the NIA.

Investigation has revealed that the seven chargesheeted accused persons were part of a deep-rooted criminal conspiracy by Pakistain-based handlers of TuM and their terror associates based in Poonch and Kuwait to execute terrorist activities and wage war against the Indian State.

Absconding accused Rafiq Nai alias Sultan and other handlers based in Pakistain Occupied Kashmir with assistance of Sher Ali based in Kuwait, Mohd Mustafa , Mohd Yaseen, Mohd Farooq, Mohd Ibrar, Mohd Javid and others on the Indian side of LoC in Poonch District smuggled arms, ammunition, explosives, narcotics etc into the Indian territory.

They were taking advantage of geography, affinities of religion, culture and other ties cutting across both sides of the LoC. During the course of investigation, large cache of arms, ammunition, explosives, narcotics along with flags, posters and other incriminating material belonging to terror outfit TuM, which was hidden at different places in Poonch was recovered.

FATF keeps Pakistan on 'grey list'
Schadenfreude is a dreadful thing. So be discreet as we snicker about this situation Pakistan so richly deserves, dear Reader.
[NATION.PK] While keeping Pakistain on its grey list, the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) on Friday has given new six points action plan on anti-money laundering to Islamabad to address the strategic deficiencies.

The FATF has recognised Pakistain’s progress and efforts to address the Combating the Financing of Terrorism (CFT) action plan items.

FATF has noted that since February 2021, Pakistain has made progress to complete two of the three remaining action items on demonstrating that effective, proportionate and dissuasive sanctions are imposed for TF convictions and that Pakistain’s targeted financial sanctions regime was being used effectively to target terrorist assets.

"Pakistain has now completed 26 of the 27 action items in its 2018 action plan. The FATF encourages Pakistain to continue to make progress to address as soon as possible the one remaining CFT-related item by demonstrating that TF investigations and prosecutions target big shots and commanders of UN designated terrorist groups," it added. Since June 2018, when Pakistain made a high-level political commitment to work with the FATF and APG to strengthen its AML/CFT regime and to address its strategic counter terrorist financing-related deficiencies,

Pakistain’s continued political commitment has led to significant progress across a comprehensive CFT action plan.

In response to additional deficiencies later identified in Pakistain’s 2019 APG Mutual Evaluation Report (MER), Pakistain has made progress to address a number of the recommended actions in the MER and provided further high-level commitment in June 2021 to address these strategic deficiencies pursuant to a new action plan that primarily focuses on combating money laundering.

Pakistain should continue to work to address its strategically important AML/CFT deficiencies, namely by: (1) enhancing international cooperation by amending the MLA law; (2) demonstrating that assistance is being sought from foreign countries in implementing UNSCR 1373 designations; (3) demonstrating that supervisors are conducting both on-site and off-site supervision commensurate with specific risks associated with DNFBPs, including applying appropriate sanctions where necessary; (4) demonstrating that proportionate and dissuasive sanctions are applied consistently to all legal persons and legal arrangements for non-compliance with beneficial ownership requirements; (5) demonstrating an increase in ML investigations and prosecutions and that proceeds of crime continue to be restrained and confiscated in line with Pakistain’s risk profile, including working with foreign counterparts to trace, freeze, and confiscate assets; and (6) demonstrating that DNFBPs are being monitored for compliance with proliferation financing requirements and that sanctions are being imposed for non-compliance.

Livestock killed as Turkey bombards land near Duhok villages
[Rudaw] Goats and sheep belonging to local farmers were killed when The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire...
bombed the vicinity of two villages in Duhok province on Thursday afternoon, a local official has confirmed to Rudaw.

The Ottoman Turkish airforce struck an animal farm located between the villages of Mizhe and Spindar, with a local villager confirming there were no farmers or shepherds present at the time.

Peshmerga forces near the area prevented some villagers from visiting their land after the bombardment due to security reasons, Rudaw has learned.

"Since 5am, the areas between Mizhe and Spindar have been intensely bombarded four times by Ottoman Turkish planes," Ismail Mustafa, the mayor of the nearby town of Amedi, told Rudaw.

"There have not been any casualties from these two villages but people have been terrified because 30 families live in Mizhe, and there are 12 families in Spindar," he added.

The exact amount of damage caused by Thursday’s bombardment is currently unknown. A team will investigate the damage when security improves, according to Mustafa.

Footage submitted to Rudaw shows a dog being freed by villagers after it became trapped underground due to the bombardment.

The presence of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) fighters in these areas has led to Ottoman Turkish bombardments, preventing people from visiting their land "although they have to irrigate their farms," said Mustafa.

IDF: Attempted stabbing foiled at West Bank settlement, attacker shot
[IsraelTimes] The Israel Defense Forces said that security forces foiled an attempted stabbing attack in the settlement of Yitzhar in the northern West Bank on Friday. The suspect was shot and "neutralized."

"A suspect was identified by an IDF observation post a short while ago attempting to enter the community of Yitzhar," the army said.

The settlement’s security officer reached the scene and identified the man who was carrying a knife.

The security officer attempted to detain the suspect and shot him in the lower part of the body when he refused to stop, the army said, adding that the suspect was "neutralized."

It did not give any details on his condition. There were no other injuries reported.

The settlement published a picture of the knife, which appeared to be a kitchen knife decorated with purple flowers.
I had no idea chef knives could be that kind of pretty, dear Reader — see the photo at the link. Somewhere in the West Bank there is a very unhappy Muslim housewife...
