-Lurid Crime Tales-
Swedish Prof: Hot Weather, Not Rapey Migrants Driving Sweden’s Place As Rape Capital Of World
[BREITBART] Thankfully, someone has figured out why all these rapes are taking place in Sweden. Börje Svensson, a psychotherapist and “an expert on sexual criminals”, was interviewed in one of the biggest Swedish newspapers recently about Sweden’s rape epidemic. His conclusion? The good, hot, summer weather.
It's supposed to go up to 95 today, which isn't quite body temperature but close. The humidity is approaching 128 percent. The urge to bump sweaty bellies is overwhelming. People are jumping each other everywhere you look. And that's not even downtown Baltimore!
Providing the perfect reason that absolves the Swedish establishment of all responsibility, Svensson described how we have been a bit unlucky with the weather this year. Hopefully we will have a colder summer next year and sexual crimes will then be an old memory linked to that one hot Swedish summer. If by any chance, there are still rapes during a colder summer, our experts will simply find another scapegoat rather than looking straight at the imported criminals. Perhaps fewer flies, or high ocean levels. Say hello to the mental hospital named Sweden everyone.

#5  Only the immigrants are used to such hot weather and thus likely to even consider s*x - so of course their representation among r*pists will be higher than that of native Swedes. See, it's Climate Change, not Religion of Pieces that is responsible.

Afghanistan
NDS-ISI cooperation deal can help counter terrorism: Sartaj Aziz
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] Pakistain’s foreign affairs adviser Sartaj PrunefaceAziz
...Adviser to Pak Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on National Security and Foreign Affairs, who believes in good jihadis and bad jihadis as a matter of national policy...
has said an intelligence sharing deal between the Afghan intelligence and Pak intelligence agencies could help counter terrorism.

Speaking during a presser on Friday, Aziz called on Afghanistan to help create a formal intelligence-sharing deal between National Directorate of Security
...the Afghan national intel agency...
(NDS) and Inter Services Intelligence (ISI).

The call by Aziz came despite allegations against the Afghan intelligence for supporting Jamaat-ul-Ahrar which grabbed credit behind a deadly attack in Quetta that left at least 70 dead.

"It has already been known that this group (JuA) is somewhat indirectly being supported by the NDS," Aziz asserted.

This comes as reports regarding the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between the Afghan and Pak intelligence agencies sparked uproar in the country earlier last year.

The MoU was apparently concluded with an aim to share intelligence and bolster cooperation in their fight against Lion of Islam groups.

However,
today is that tomorrow you were thinking about yesterday...
the Afghan officials have long been criticizing Pakistain’s role in fight against terrorism and harbouring the holy warrior groups fighting against the Afghan government security forces.

Arabia
Yemen parliament meets under arms threat
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Houthi
...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 Yemeni government has accused the Houthis of having ties to the Iranian government, which wouldn't suprise most of us. 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 ...
and President-for-Life Ali Abdullah Saleh
... Saleh initially took power as a strongman of North Yemen in 1977, when disco was in flower, but he didn't invite Donna Summer to the inauguration and Blondie couldn't make it...
’s militias failed in a bid Saturday, to gain the legal recognition required to establish an insurgency-administered supreme political council, after too few members attended the session.

The Houthis called the meeting in a bid to establish an insurgency-administered supreme political council which the militias announced the creation of a week ago.

But under Yemeni law, the parliament requires a minimum attendance of 151 of the 301 members of parliament for the meeting to be determined quorate and therefore legally well enough attended to be able to press ahead and hold votes that are binding.

According to Al Arabiya’s correspondent the number in attendance was significantly lower with members in attendance numbering between 80 and 85.

Despite this, the militias continued in their attempt to hold the meeting and vote amid a heavy presence of gunnies, despite the low attendance.

Yasser Alraeini, the minister of state for the implementation of the Yemeni dialogue outputs, told Al Arabiya that Saturday’s session would have no legitimate effect.

Alraeini added that the ousted Saleh was plotting to eliminate the rest of the parliament’s legitimacy.

Several politicians have been exhausting all efforts in order to escape Sana’a, according to sources.

The representatives have received death threats if they did not attend the parliamentary session scheduled for Saturday, which had been called on by ousted former president Ali Abdullah Saleh.

In a statement carried on the state news agency Saba, Hadi called the parliament session illegal and warned that MPs attending could be prosecuted as criminals.

In a statement released Friday UN Special Envoy to 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. Except for a tiny handfull of Jews everthing there is very Islamic...
Ismail Ould Cheikh said occurring violations were intolerable and did not aid the grinding of the peace processor. He further reiterated that a comprehensive solution for Yemen could only be achieved by political means.

Venezuelans feel less safe at home than Syrians
The first media meme to justify importing the Chavistas as refugees after they succeeded in destroying their own nest. You read it here first
Venezuelans feel less safe in their home country than civilians living in war-torn Syria, according to a new Gallup poll.
But safer than south-side Chicagoans...
Just 14 percent of Venezuelans said they feel safe in the country, compared with 32 percent of Syrian respondents who feel safe, according to the 2016 Global Law and Order Report.
In this Wednesday, April 15, 2015 photo, bullet holes can be seen on the main gate of a house at a Petare shantytown in Caracas, Venezuela. But as crime spread, people began adopting informal curfews, going inside and locking up their doors by 7:30 p.m. To stay out later was to be exposed. Fernando Llano AP

"Venezuela has become a society that is just breaking down," said Eric Farnsworth, vice president of the Washington-based Council of the Americas.

The Grand Turk
Turkish PM sees no compromise with US over Gulen extradition
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
’s prime minister said on Saturday that Ankara could not compromise with the United States over its request for the extradition of Islamic holy man Fethullah Gulen
... a Turkish preacher living in Pennsylvania whom the current govt of Turkey considers responsible for all the ills afflicting Turkey and possibly the entire world...
which it blames for orchestrating last month’s attempted coup.

Prime Minister Binali Yildirim made his comments to a group of Turkish journalists who quoted him as saying that US Vice President Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
The former Senator-for-Life from Delaware, an example of the kind of top-notch Washington intellect to be found in the World's Greatest Deliberative Body...
would visit Turkey on August 24.

US Secretary of State John F. I was in Vietnam, you know Kerry
Former Senator-for-Life from Massachussetts, self-defined war hero, speaker of French, owner of a lucky hat, conqueror of Cambodia, and current Secretary of State...
would also visit Turkey sometime in October, he said.

"The main element improving our relations with the US is the extradition of Gulen, where there is no room for negotiation," Yildirim was quoted as saying by CNN Turk’s general manager who was among journalists attending the briefing from Yildirim.

"Whether or not the anti-Americanism in Turkey will continue is also dependant on this," Yildirim said.

Turkey has been angered by what it sees as lukewarm condemnation by its Western allies of the abortive July 15-16 putsch against President Tayyip Erdogan and the Turkish government, and Western criticism of a subsequent purge of military, judiciary and civil servants.

More than 240 people were killed in the violent coup attempt by a rogue faction in the Turkish military using fighter jets, helicopters and tanks.

Since the failed coup, almost 5,000 out of 81,000 people had been sacked and the others suspended, Yildirim said.

Turkey almost immediately increased pressure for the extradition from the United States of Gulen, a former ally of Erdogan who runs an influential network of international schools outside Turkey.

Yildirim on Saturday said that the United States had improved its attitude on the issue of Gulen’s extradition, but he did not elaborate on this.

Maintaining Ankara’s criticism of the Moslem holy man who denies any involvement in the putsch, Yildirim said on Saturday that Gulen ran an exclusive communication channel with 50,000 using it.

Earlier on Saturday Turkey took exception to remarks by a top UN human rights
One man's rights are another man's existential threat.
official for saying that Ankara should stem its "thirst for Dire Revenge" against internal critics following the coup.

Turkish foreign ministry front man Tanju Bilgic, in a statement, said Zeid’s comments were unacceptable.

Turkey: UN rights boss’ comments ‘unacceptable’
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
on Saturday criticized a top UN human rights
...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless...
official for saying Ankara should stem its "thirst for Dire Revenge" after a failed coup attempt and denied people’s rights were being violated in a purge of officials and professional ranks.

UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein called on Ankara this week to uphold the rights of detainees held since the July 15-16 abortive putsch.

Authorities have suspended, detained or begun investigating tens of thousands of soldiers, police, judges, journalists and civil servants.

Turkish foreign ministry front man Tanju Bilgic, in a statement, said Zeid’s comments were unacceptable.

"It is at best an unfortunate statement for a UN official tasked with guarding human rights to say ’he has no sympathy’ for coup plotters instead of condemning these forces of Evil who have attempted a bloody coup," Bilgic said.

Western allies worry that President Tayyip Erdogan is using the putsch and the purge that has followed to tighten his grip on power.

But many Turks are angered by what they see as a lack of Western sympathy over a violent coup attempt by a rogue faction in the Turkish military using fighter jets, helicopters and tanks in which 240 people died.

Erdogan vowed to rid Turkey of the network of US-based holy man Fethullah Gulen
... a Turkish preacher living in Pennsylvania whom the current govt of Turkey considers responsible for all the ills afflicting Turkey and possibly the entire world...
, whose followers in the security forces, judiciary and civil service he accuses of orchestrating the attempted power grab and of plotting to overthrow the state.

Gulen denies these charges.

Bilgic said Turkey’s measures following the coup have been consistent with the fundamental principles of rule of law and human rights and repeated Ankara’s calls for the Commissioner to visit the country.

14 Turkish judiciary members remanded over coup bid
Fourteen judges and prosecutors were remanded into custody late Friday for alleged links to the Fetullah Terrorist Organization (FETO), accused of a recent deadly coup attempt, Anadolu reported.

The 14 suspects out of 45 detained judges and prosecutors were remanded by a court in Istanbul while 14 others were released under judicial control, according to judicial sources who spoke to Anadolu Agency on the condition of anonymity, due to restrictions on speaking to the media.

The remaining 17 suspects are being interrogated, sources added.

Ten Most Troubling Finds Inside House Probe of Pentagon's ‘Distorted' Intel on Islamic State
"9 - Even after whistleblower complaints and the "alarming" internal survey last year, the Pentagon took no steps to correct its allegedly distorted intelligence process.

The Joint Task Force is troubled that despite receiving the whistleblower complaint in May 2015 and receiving alarming survey results in December 2015, neither CENTCOM, the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence, nor the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) took any demonstrable steps to improve the analytic climate within CENTCOM. The survey results alone should have prompted CENTCOM and IC leaders to take corrective action without other inducements."

#1  The purge that will have to take place after the current administration is gone will make Erdogan and Stalin look like amateurs. Seriously, the entire Intelligence establishment is politicized, witness the never ending leaks of highly classified information during the Bush years and all of this "promote the narrative" stuff coming out now.

Methinks you will have to fire half of Washington DC and demote the rest.

Any Clinton or Obama appointee has to go...along with all of the Generals and Colonels promoted under Obama...Is it too late to get some of the real soldiers that Obama forced out of the Colonel and General ranks back???

ISIS Terrorist Tells Feds He Has Jihadist Brothers In Mexico
[THEGATEWAYPUNDIT] Earlier this year a top ranking Homeland Security official acknowledged that Mexican narco mobs were helping ISIS sneak across the southern border to scope out targets for terrorist attacks.

ISIS operative Shaykh Mahmood Omar Khabir has reportedly been training Death Eaters near the US border near Ciudad Juarez for the past year.

Khabir actually brags in an Italian newspaper article published last week that the border region is so open that he "could get in with a handful of men, and kill thousands of people in Texas or in Arizona in the space of a few hours."

India-Pakistan
Battle for liberation of PoJK begins: Dr Jitendra
[Daily Excelsior] Giving a new twist to Party’s country wide Tringa rally which was led by him in border district of Kathua today, Union Minister of State in PMO with Independent Charge of North Eastern States, Dr Jitendra Singh said that with this yatra a new struggle has started for liberation of Pak occupied Jammu and Kashmire (PoJK) and it will culminate with hoisting of national tricolor at Kotli in Mirpur next time.

Talking to news hounds while launching the Tringa rally from Jatwal in Hiranagar tehsil of Kathua district, Dr Singh said that a new battle has started on the 70th Independence Day for liberation of PoJK which is an integral part of India and under forcible occupation of Pakistain from its clutches now as the people of that portion of undivided J&K State were facing many atrocities from the hands of Pak administration and rulers.

While taking a strong dig at Pakistain for blaming India for human rights
...which are usually entirely different from personal liberty...
violations in Kashmire, he said that it has become now open to entire world that if any country is involved in human rights violations in the world that is Pakistain in PoJK, Gilgit-Baltistan and Balochistan
...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it...
. The neighboring country has now been totally exposed before the international community for the same, he added.

He said in Pakistain the people who raise voice for their rights and protest against the atrocities by Pakistain authorities are being bombed and killed and their voice is being suppressed while the snuffies who kill innocent people in Kashmire and other parts of India are being declared deaders by Pakistain Government and this will not be tolerated at any cost now.

He said after the announcement by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in all parties meeting yesterday that India will raise the issue of human rights violation of people in PoJK, Gilgit ‐Baltistan and Balochistan, the Tiranga yatra from this border district will be a begging in this regard.

"People in PoJK are fed up with atrocities of Pakistain and they are struggling for liberation from its clutches for last 70 years’’ he said, adding "our struggle launched today from this border district will only succeed when we hoist Indian Tricolor at Kotli in Mirpur district of PoJK next time’’.

Terming it another battle for Azadi, he said this time it is the struggle for liberation of PoJK as entire nation is elated by PM’s speech yesterday.

While rejecting any leniency for snuffies waging a war against the national unity and integrity, Dr Jitendra Singh quoted the PM’s speech yesterday saying that terrorist be treated as a terrorist and there are not two thoughts on the same. He, however, said that the poor of the poorest youth are being misguided by the separatists and Pak agents in Valley whose own children are studying abroad and working on lucrative posts, the Government will work to bring these youth into the mainstream as they were exploited by the Pak agents.

On holding talks with Hurriyat leadership, Dr Singh said there is confusion into the conglomerate itself. He made it clear that all stake holders including Kashmiri Pandits, PoJK refugees, people of Jammu and Ladakh as well as other minorities in the State are the stakeholders and not only the Hurriyat. The conglomerate is not more stake holder than these people and they need not to be given any extra importance as it is also a confused lot, he added.

Later addressing the rallies at Hiranagar and Kathua, Dr Singh highlighted the sacrifices of freedom fighters and said during the ’Azadi 70’ besides taking out the Tiranga rallies across the country the freedom fighters will be remembered.

He said in entire country if there is any pious area for starting this yatra that is border district of Kathua.

He said Prime Minister has said our next struggle will be liberation of PoJK and this message is to be conveyed to entire nation from here, he added.

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Profiling works: How Israel stops the Palestinian "lone wolf" attacker
[LI] The so-called Knife or Stabbing Intifada has not been limited to knives or stabbing. There have been shootings, bombings and car-rammings. But one common denominator has been the "lone wolf" attacker -- including women and early teens as young as 13.

Lone wolf attacks were actively encouraged throughout anti-Israel social media, and the attackers were treated as heroes.

When the attacker is not part of an organized group, it's harder for intelligence services to prevent the attack from taking place. But after several dozen attacks and dozens of Israelis killed, the lone wolf attacks dwindled to a trickle. Certainly part of this was fatigue on the part of the Palestinian population, more aggressive policing and use of check points, and also monitoring of social media.

AFP reported in late July, Israeli experience shows challenge in stopping lone wolf attacks

Israeli authorities who have faced a wave of lone-wolf attacks by Palestinians say they have made progress in identifying potential assailants in advance, a challenge now also confronting Western nations.

Recent attacks in Europe and the United States have brought renewed attention to lone assailants and what can be done to stop them or reduce their impact.

While the challenge of halting such assaults can seem next to impossible, Israeli officials say an alert system incorporating social media monitoring, basic human intelligence and other means has helped prevent or limit bloodshed....

Israel’s military has developed an alert system that flags up those seen as potentially dangerous, the official said.

It is based on analyses of assailants since October, including their backgrounds, where they chose to act and their activities in the days before an attack.

With the list of names narrowed, Israeli authorities decide how to address the situation.

The response can include a range of strategies, such as monitoring, speaking to someone's parents or an arrest if the person is found to have broken the law by inciting violence, the official said.

Security measures were also tightened in areas seen as potential targets.

In a post at its blog, the IDF explains the process used, including the importance of profiling the habits, behaviors and locations of lone wolf attackers, How can we prevent the next "lone wolf" attack?

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Iran to receive S-300 system from Russia any day now before 2017
Iran will completely receive the S-300 air defense system from Russia by the end of 2016, Mohammad Javad Jamali, an Iranian MP said.

Jamali, who is a member of parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, said Russia has fulfilled its commitments regarding the issue, Fars news agency reported Aug. 13.

Commenting on Iranian lawsuit against Russia over the non-delivery of S-300 air defense system, Jamali said that most likely there will be no need for that, given that Russia carries out its commitments.

The $800-million Moscow-Tehran contract to deliver Russian S-300 system to Iran was signed in 2007. It was suspended after the adoption of the UN Security Council’s sanctions on Iran in mid-2010.

In 2011, Iran sued Russia in the Geneva Arbitration Court after Moscow suspended the contract.

Russian President Vladimir Putin lifted the S-300 delivery ban in April 2015, shortly after the six world powers and Iran reached a framework agreement over Tehran’s disputed nuclear program.

Russia has delivered a half of the air defense system to Iran under the existing contract.

Elsewhere in his remarks, Jamali said that a complete and correct implementation of contract to supply the S-300 systems to Iran will help boost mutual ties and cooperation with Russia in all areas.

The two countries are moving towards a strategic partnership, he added.
