[Breitbart] In a speech on national security, President Joe Biden’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas ignored the record-breaking number of illegal aliens arriving at United States borders who are found on the federal government’s Terrorism Watch List.
Mayorkas delivered the remarks at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, focusing on “domestic violent extremism,” Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and cybersecurity.
In only one sentence, Mayorkas made a passing reference to the Biden administration’s record-breaking illegal immigration levels, stating that DHS is grappling with “historic migration throughout the hemisphere and around the world.”
Mayorkas ignored the record number of illegal aliens arriving at U.S. borders in the last two years who are listed on the Terrorism Watch List. In April, during a congressional hearing, Mayorkas was unable to state how many illegal alien terrorists had been released into American communities after arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border.
In Fiscal Year 2022, nearly 100 illegal aliens were apprehended at the southern border and were found to have been listed on the Terrorism Watch List — almost seven times the number apprehended in Fiscal Year 2021 and more than 32 times the number apprehended in Fiscal Year 2020.
The apprehension figure is so high that it far outpaces the total number of illegal alien suspected terrorists caught at the southern border from Fiscal Year 2017 to Fiscal Year 2020, when former President Trump was in the White House.
One such illegal alien suspect terrorist was reportedly apprehended at the southern border in April before being released into the U.S. interior as part of the Biden administration’s expansive Catch and Release network.
Mayorkas did not authorize Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to arrest the illegal alien suspected terrorist until a week after the agency learned he was on the Terrorism Watch List.
Apprehensions of illegal alien suspected terrorists do not seem to be slowing down in any way. The latest data reveals that in October, alone, 40 illegal alien suspected terrorists attempted to enter the U.S. interior via the southern and northern borders — nine who tried to evade Border Patrol on the U.S.-Mexico border and 31 who were stopped at Ports of Entry.

Impeach this horrible miscreant on Day One, and force the Senate RINOs to face up to protecting him.
His tenure as Secretary of DHS has been the most despicable, perfidious, criminal performance of any Cabinet-level appointee in living memory.

DC now sees these creatures as their new, preferred consitituency. We actual citizerns only factor in as far as they can steal our personal wealth. People standing around scratching their heads, "why?". If you don't know by now, can't help you.

[Rudaw] A US judge on Wednesday said that the Saudi Crown Prince was entitled to sovereign immunity despite "credible allegations" of his possible involvement in the killing of Saudi journalist beloved martyr of journalism Jamal Khashoggi ......who was simultaneously a very well paid Washington Post columnist and a long time propagandist for the Moslem Brotherhood and Al Qaeda — he died while on the Qatari payroll, but previously wrote at the behest of then-Saudi intel chief Prince Turki al-Faisal...... , weeks after the Biden administration (aka the Wilmington comorra) ...the collection of boodlers, grifters, hangers-on, and self-proclaimed experts affiliated with the Biden Crime Family. Entrusted with an entire nation as the result of a suspicious election, they set about happily implementing stuff they absorbed in college, all of which blew up and splattered the rest of us... contended that the prince should be granted immunity.
John Bates, a Washington federal judge, accepted the US government's position that Prince Mohammed bin Salman ...Crown Prince and modernizer of Saudi Arabia as of 2016. The Turks hate him, so he must be all right, despite the occasional brutal murder of Qatar-owned journalists. As crown prince, Moe has quietly jettisoned his country's policy of trying to impose its religion on the rest of the world... , who was appointed 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... 's prime minister in September, is a foreign head of state in US courts and is thus granted immunity.
Hatice Cengiz, Khashoggi's Ottoman Turkish fiancée, and an activist muppet group filed a lawsuit accusing the Prince of conspiring to murder Khashoggi. However, there's more than one way to skin a cat... Bates stated he had no authority to overrule the formal statement submitted to court on November 17 stating that he had been granted immunity.
He added that the US government's executive branch "remains responsible for foreign affairs, including with Saudi Arabia, and a contrary decision on bin Salman's immunity by this Court would unduly interfere with those responsibilities."
The killing of the Saudi critic, a 59-year-old journalist, inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on October 2, 2018, was a murder that stunned the world.
When Khashoggi went to The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor... to obtain marriage documents from the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, he walked into the building and never left; his body has yet to be found.
Biden declassified an intelligence report that found Prince Mohammed had approved the operation against Khashoggi, an assertion Saudi authorities deny, according to AFP.
President Joe Biden ...... 46th president of the U.S. An incredibly corrupt version of Jar-Jar Binks, only well into his dotage. The dumbass who abandoned Afghanistan....... traveled to Saudi Arabia in July to strengthen ties with the Saudi prince, calling the allegations "outrageous" during bilateral talks.
Five people were handed death sentence ...the barbaric practice of sentencing a murderer to be punished for as long as his/her/its victim is dead... s by Saudi Arabia over Khashoggi's killing, but a Saudi court in September 2020 overturned them while giving jail terms of up to 20 years to eight unnamed defendants following secretive legal proceedings.

All that virtuous, moral posturing goes poof when real political need occurs. The Puppet Show just knows the MSM and the American public attention span collective memory is measured in weeks.
[DAILYTIMES.PK] Pakistain Democratic Movement (PDM) President Maulana Fazl-Ur-Rehman, the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) is a contentious organization that should be eliminated.
He stated that he has always stated that NAB is being utilized to retaliate against politicians and discredit them.
The PDM chairman told that the NAB’s 22-year success is in front of our eyes, but that the bureau failed to leave a legacy of unbiased and effective accountability. He claimed that NAB is constantly used to victimize and character-assassinate politicians.
He said that NAB has badly damaged the administrative structure and national economy of the country by harassing traders, industrialists, civil servants and police officials. "We have crushed the teeth of NAB up to some extent by amending NAB laws but we need a two-thirds majority in the parliament to abolish it completely. He vowed to not use NAB against his political rivals.

[IsraelTimes] Hundreds of vessels waiting to be repaired following UN-brokered deal to allow sheets in, ending 15 years of restrictions imposed due to military uses of material
Wearing sky blue overalls near Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... ’s port, technician Mohammed Jerboa celebrates the chance to finally repair fishing boats after a 15-year Israeli ban on vital materials.
It’s a "great achievement", he said after sanding down the faded paint as part of a team of workers patching up rickety boats with sheets of newly imported fiberglass.
The material has been prohibited from entering the Paleostinian enclave since 2007, as one of scores of items Israel deems could be used for military purposes by Gaza terrorists.
The measures have left fishermen struggling for years to pursue their livelihood due to the state of the boats — although Paleostinian statistics indicate that their catch has more than doubled since the blockage was introduced — until the United Nations ...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks... brokered a deal that allows fiberglass to reach a supervised workshop.
"I started working at this workshop two weeks ago... for the fishermen and for us as technicians, this provided a job opportunity," said Jerboa.
Gaza has one of the world’s highest unemployment rates at nearly 50 percent, according to World Bank data.
Dust flies as the team gets to work, within view of a security camera, while the smell of fresh paint drifts across the fenced yard from a recently refurbished boat.
Rows of unseaworthy vessels rest in the sand nearby, with rusty parts and covered in scratches, laying bare the scale of the task at hand.
Manal al-Najjar, a coordination officer at the United Nations Office for Project Services — which handles infrastructure projects — said there are still some 300 boats to be fixed. After months of negotiations with Paleostinian and Israeli officials, the UN reached a deal which allows enough fiberglass for 10 boats to enter Gaza at a time.
"The repair process takes two weeks to a month for every 10 boats," Najjar said.
With the first repaired boats hitting the water, she added that fishermen so far are happy with the project as "the price is very reasonable and the quality of the materials is high."
Standing near piles of nets at the port, fisherman Saleem al-Assi was one of the first to be selected for the project and agreed the costs were low.
"I’ve had boats out of action for eight years and they need a lot of fiberglass," said Assi, who has around 50 relatives working in the fishing trade.
"Hundreds of fishermen applied to the project, but the project can’t cover everyone," he added.
In addition to the difficulty to obtain materials, the fishing industry has been hit by restrictions at sea. Israel’s navy enforces a fishing zone that limits the catch as part of a blockade on Gaza which is also enforced by Egypt. Israel says the blockade, imposed in 2007 after the Paleostinian terror group Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", took power, is needed to keep terror groups in the Strip from building up their forces, including by importing weaponry and the materials for weapons.
Israel has fought four wars with Gaza-based forces of Evil over the past 14 years, as well as a three-day conflict in August which left 49 Gazooks dead.
At the port, Assi welcomed the fiberglass project but lamented that he still cannot get his family’s nine boats out to sea.
"We only have two motors. Motors are non-existent," he said.
Najjar acknowledged the shortage and said the UN plans to import motors as part of its project.
Standing beside the calm Mediterranean waters, Assi said the lack of equipment due to Israeli restrictions has "suffocated us."
Nonetheless, figures from the Paleostinian Central Bureau of Statistics indicate that Gaza fishermen have more than doubled their catch since the blockade was introduced — from over 1.5 million fish in 2009 to almost 4 million in 2019.
"I don’t know why Israel is blocking their entry. Will rockets be fired from boats?" he asked.
Israel has said that fiberglass is restricted because Hamas seeks to use it in the manufacture of rockets.
[IsraelTimes] Nearly 200 arrested on allegations of collaboration in last 3 years, according to security officials, who claim Mossad is exploiting financial woes to recruit sources
Lebanon Hezbollahstan ...The Lebs have the curious habit of periodically murdering their heads of state or prime ministers, a practice dating back to the heady days of human sacrifice to Baal Moloch... has arrested 185 people suspected of collaborating with enemy state Israel since its economic collapse three years ago left many Lebanese desperate for cash, two security sources told AFP Wednesday.
That number has jumped significantly from a previous average of four or five arrests a year, one of the sources said.
"This is the first time that so many people have been arrested on charges of collaborating with Israel, and it’s because of the crisis," said the other security source. Both were speaking on condition of anonymity ... for fear of being murdered... Lebanon has been battered by a severe financial and economic crisis since 2019 that has seen the national currency crash, led banks to freeze deposits and plunged much of the population into dire poverty.
"This was a boon for the Israelis, who targeted Lebanese on social media with job advertisements for phoney companies," the second source said.
A recruiter would then call the applicants, some of whom did not know they had been contacted by an Israeli spy agency.
Out of all those arrested since 2019, only three had been allegedly working with Israel prior to the crisis, one of the sources said. Of the 185, so far 165 had been prosecuted and 25 convicted and sentenced.
Lebanon technically remains at war with Israel and forbids citizens from having any contact with Israel or travelling there.
Of the suspects, two had reached out directly to Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency for work via its website.
One source said several detainees who suspected they had been contacted by Israeli intelligence "carried on anyway because they did not have a problem with Israel and hated Hezbollah," an Iran-backed terror group with huge sway over political life in Lebanon.
Israel and Hezbollah fought a 33-day war in Lebanon in 2006.
Early this year Lebanon arrested 21 people suspected of being spies for Israel, a judicial source told AFP in January.
Lebanese security services have arrested dozens over the years on suspicions of collaborating with Israel, with some receiving jail terms of up to 25 years.
Between April 2009 and 2014, Lebanese authorities detained more than 100 people accused of spying for Israel, most of them members of the military or telecom employees, before the rate of arrests started to decline for several years.
[An Nahar] The sister of Iran's supreme leader has slammed his "despotic" rule and thrown her support behind protests ignited by Mahsa Amini's death, in a letter published Wednesday by her son.
Protests have gripped 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 JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... since Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Iranian of Kurdish origin, died on September 16 after her arrest in Tehran for an alleged breach of the Islamic republic's strict dress code for women.
Tehran says more than 200 people have been killed in the unrest, but Oslo-based non-governmental organization Iran Human Rights says the country's security forces have killed at least 458 protesters, including 63 children.
Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei ...the very aged actual dictator of Iran, successor to Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini... , 83, has accused Iran's arch foe the United States and its allies of stoking the protests, which Tehran has sought to portray as "riots".
Rights activists say the demonstrations were sparked by anger over the repression of women, before expanding to include other grievances.
"I oppose my brother's actions," Khamenei's sister Badri Hosseini Khamenei, who is believed to be in Iran, said in a letter published online by her La Belle France-based son Mahmoud Moradkhani.
"I express my sympathy with all mothers mourning the crimes of the Islamic republic regime," from the time of its founder Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini "to the current era of the despotic caliphate of Ali Khamenei," she wrote.
"My concern has always been and will always be the people, especially the women of Iran," she added.
She accused the regime of bringing "nothing but suffering and oppression to Iran and Iranians" since it was established following the 1979 Islamic revolution that toppled the shah.
"The people of Iran deserve freedom and prosperity, and their uprising is legitimate and necessary to achieve their rights.
"I hope to see the victory of the people and the overthrow of this tyranny ruling Iran soon," she said.
Badri Hosseini Khamenei called on the powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to "lay down their weapons as soon as possible and join the people before it is too late".
She lamented that "due to physical ailments" she was unable to take part in the protests.
"My brother does not listen to the voice of the people of Iran and wrongly considers the voice of his mercenaries and money-grabbers to be the voice of the Iranian people.
"He rightly deserves the disrespectful and impudent words he uses to describe the oppressed but brave people of Iran," she wrote.

[NPASYRIA] In Afrin region, northwest Syria, Ottoman Turkish-backed armed opposition factions belong to two main legions of the Syrian National Army (SNA); the First Legion, the Second Legion following the withdrawal of the Third Legion, amid presence of the security apparatus of Hayat 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 — formerly al-Nusra ...formally Jabhat an-Nusrah li-Ahli al-Sham (Support Front for the People of the Levant), also known as al-Qaeda in the Levant. They aim to establish a pan-Arab caliphate. Not the same one as the Islamic State, though .. ... Front).
On October 13, the HTS took control over Afrin following festivities with the Third Legion that was forced to retreat towards the city of Azaz and its countryside.
Since then, Afrin has been under the control of several factions in the security and military arenas, the most notable faction is the security apparatus of the HTS that has been controlling every aspects of the security in the city of Afrin and its countryside. The body is led by Abu Abdullah al-Iraqi and Abu Muhammad al-Abdeli.
Ahrar al-Sham ...a Syria jihadi group made up of Islamists and salafists, not that there's that much difference, formed into a brigade. They make up the main element of the Islamic Front but they don't profess adoration of al-Qaeda and they've been fighting (mainly for survival) against the Islamic State. Their leadership was wiped out at a single blow by a suicide kaboom at a crowded basement meeting in September, 2014... has military points and offices in the city of Afrin and the villages of Basouta, Jindires and Bulbul with no more than 400 personnel led by Abu Ubayda al-Sheikh.
Afrin has been under the control of The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire... and the SNA factions since 2018 following the so-called Olive Branch operation against the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG) under the pretext of preserving Ottoman Turkish "national security".
The operation caused the displacement of about 300.000 of the original inhabitants of the Kurds of Afrin who have been taking shelter in 40 villages and five camps in Shahba region since then.
Sham Legion, led by Munzur Sarar al-Ikhwenij, is a main faction in the area and mostly supported by the HTS in Deir Balout, Jindires, Mabata, Basouta, Rajo and Kafr Janneh. The faction has military offices, olive refineries, drugs manufacture and coal factories in addition to a security apparatus.
Sultan Murad Division which is led by Fahim Issa and commanded by Nasser al-Nahar and Abu Walid al-Azi, is a main faction within the Third Legion that operates in Rajo, Kafr Janneh, Mabata, Afrin, Katmeh and Sharran.
The group has a security apparatus that is linked directly to the Ottoman Turkish Intelligence Services (MIT) being the most pet faction to receive support from the Ottoman Turkish side. It has about 800 security and military personnel operating in Rajo and Basouta.
Sultan Suleiman Shah Division (al-Amshat) led by Muhammad al-Jassem al-Turkmani, who owns the biggest drug manufacture in the area of Sheikh Hadid in the countryside of Afrin, the main bastion of al-Amshat.
In addition, it has offices in Mabata, Afrin city, Sharran, Midan Ikbes, Maydanki and Bulbul. However, there's more than one way to stuff a chicken... there are no more than 300 fighters. It belongs to the Second Legion which is affiliated with the HTS.
The main secret supportive faction of the HTS in providing both ammunition and weapon in coordination with Sham Legion is al-Hamza Division, known otherwise as Saif Abu Bakr Division which has nearly 400 turbans in the whole of Afrin.
The division operates in 16 military posts in Raco and its countryside in addition to a security apparatus, ten security and military posts in Bulbul, and a drug manufacture in the village of Burj Abdullah, southwest of Afrin city which is also home to offices of al-Hamza Division. In Jinderis there are two points of the division besides Marata, Katmeh and Mashaleh.
Although they are affiliated with the Third Legion, Faylaq al-Majd (Glory Corps) and Division 51 observed neutrality in the recent struggle against HTS, and preserved their presence in the area of Raco in the northern camp added to military posts on several sections on the border with Turkey besides others in Katmeh and Sharran.
While Faylaq al-Rahman, Liwa al-Montaser, 9th Armoured Division, Suqour al-Sham Brigades and Liwa al-Fajr are all affiliated with the Second Legion which is subject to Fahim Issa, leader of the legion and that of Sultan Murad Division.
It is deployed in areas in Kafr Safra, Basouta, Ain Dara, Kerzayhel, Marata,, Mabata, Maydanki, and Sharran in both security and military offices.
However, there's more than one way to stuff a chicken... the most influential force in the region is HTS’ security apparatus. Its turbans wear the uniform of Ahrar al-Sham or of al-Amshat.
Civilian and military polices receive orders from the MIT directly to which it is affiliated solely and upon its instructions it behaves.
[NPASYRIA] White House national security front man John Kirby said on Wednesday that the US does not want The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor... to materialize its threats of launching a ground operation into northwest Syria.
"We don’t want to see military operations conducted in northwest Syria that are going to put civilians at greater risk than they already are," Kirby told news hounds.
Kirby said the US acknowledges Turkey’s security concerns, but added that mounting ground offensives would not address these threats.
"We recognize the threat that the Ottoman Turkish people are under, but we don’t believe that ... this idea of military operations in northwest Syria is the best way to get at that threat," he said.
He also noted that the operation would "put in peril our troops and our personnel in Syria, or our counter ISIS [Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... ] mission."
On November 20 and the week that followed, Turkey launched a series of Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s against many areas extending along the entire border strip with Syria, killing civilians and military personnel and damaging vital infrastructure.
Ankara threatens of launching a cross-border invasion, targeting the cities of Kobani and Manbij, northern Syria, and the town of Tel Rifaat, northwest Syria.

[NPASYRIA] On Wednesday, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation Sergey Lavrov hinted at possible talks between Ankara and Damascus on the basis of the Adana Agreement of 1998.
Speaking at the Primakov Readings forum in Moscow, Lavrov said Russia give importance that Ankara and Damascus could solve their problems relating to the border security and to resume talks based on the Adana Agreement.
"We are interested in The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor... and Syria resuming dialogue based on the Adana Agreement that is still valid, and conditions seem to be ripening for that now," Lavrov said.
Russian media reported that right steps have been made in this regard as the Russian diplomat put it.
Turkey claims the Adana Agreement allows Ottoman Turkish forces to cross into Syrian territories if there are threats against its security.
Lavrov laid stress that his country would firmly work to prevent any encroachments upon the Syrian territories, adding that Moscow and Ankara emphasized such an idea in the recent meeting held in Kazakhstan.
"We will work hard to prevent any possible encroachments on Syria’s territorial integrity," the minister noted.
The Russian diplomat said Washington nurtures the secessionist sentiments of Kurdish forces in Syria in an indication to the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).
Lavrov noted to the necessity that the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES) be convinced to hold talks with Damascus to find a formula for coexistence within the framework of one state instead betting on fake US promises.
In late August, Ottoman Turkish President revealed Russian bids to open channels for a dialogue between Damascus and Ankara.
