Gotta click the link for all the Twitter and video imagery that go with the comments I grabbed below. A video released a day after the Islamic terror attacks in London show a CNN crew staging a scene with Muslims holding signs saying "ISIS Will Lose".
The following is a screenshot of the signs:
CNN’s Abu Dhabi Managing Editor, Becky Anderson’s original video was posted to her official Twitter account where she called the London terrorists a ’handful of twisted fools hell-bent on taking lives’.
Below is a video of the behind-the-scenes work CNN did to stage the photo-op with Muslims holding up signs that read, ’ISIS WILL LOSE’.
The original post came from Mark Antro, a Londoner who captured the video:
Mark Antro also tweeted out that BBC wanted to film it...
Antro also notes that white police officers walked out of the scene and were replaced with Asian officers:
According to a British viewer, BBC News also used this staged photo-op:
Raphael Satter, a journalist for AP also posted a picture to his Twitter account of the staged photo-op:
English newspaper columnist for the Daily Mail, Katie Hopkins chimed in as well saying, "Please watch. You are being deceived."

This begs the question: how much "news" in the past was orchestrated by CNN? There is no way that they got busted the very time that they tried to pull off something like this.
In case you lost track...

The end of the party? A bummer,
All fag ends, um, butts in a rummer.
The sovereign's a mummer,
Her government, dumber,
Mugs, mulling its whine in Midsomer.
[BREITBART] UK Independence Party (UKIP) MEP Nigel Farage has slammed London Mayor Sadiq Khan for not addressing extremism in Moslem communities and criticised Theresa May’s tenure as home secretary, saying that the prime minister’s words are not enough and people want action.
On Fox and Friends Weekend, the Brexit campaigner criticised Mr. Khan for telling Londoners "not to be alarmed" saying:
"I understand the mayor wishing to not spread panic but what I would like to hear is him say: ’As the first Moslem mayor of London, I am going to do all I can to work with the Moslem community to drive out the bad boy preachers from our mosques. To do all we can to stop radicalisation happening in schools and in prisons.’
"And I did not hear a single word of that," the former UKIP party leader said.

"...what I would like to hear is him say: ’As the first Moslem mayor of London, I am going to do all I can to work with the Moslem community to drive out the bad boy preachers from our mosques. To do all we can to stop radicalisation happening in schools and in prisons.’
STEP 1 in the eventual REAL war: The realization that they're not "bad" Muslims nor are they "radical" Muslims. Instead they are LITERALISTS. They do what they do because their alleged "holy" books instruct them to do these acts.
The problem is *Islam*, not "radicals" or "extremists".
And nobody knew any of this stuff beforehand.
[NYTIMES] The bomber who killed 22 people at a pop concert in Manchester, England, last month had met in Libya with members of an Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're 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 the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... unit linked to the November 2015 Gay Paree terrorist attack, according to current and retired intelligence officials.
The content of the communications between the attacker, Salman Abedi, and the terrorist cell remains unknown. But the possibility that he was directed or enabled by Islamic State operatives in Libya, as opposed to Syria, suggests that even as the group’s Middle East base is shrinking, at least one of its remote franchises is developing ways to continue attacks within Europe.
On visits to 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... as well as to the coastal Libyan town of Sabratha, Mr. Abedi met with operatives of the Katibat al-Battar al-Libi, a core Islamic State unit that was headquartered in Syria before some of its members dispersed to Libya.
Originally made up of Libyans who had gone to Syria to fight in the civil war, the unit became a magnet for French and Belgian imported muscle, and several were dispatched to carry out attacks abroad. Some of the terrorist group’s most devastating hits in Europe, including the coordinated attack in Gay Paree in 2015, were shaped by alumni of the brigade.

The Brits might want to check with Hillary on this; she had a lot to do with making this area in Libya fertile for ISIS.
[DW] The Aydinlik newspaper has reported the arrest of its editor-in-chief, Ilker Yucel. The apparent cause was an unpaid fine for an article about President Erdogan's son-in-law published in 2014.
The Aydinlik newspaper, in its digital edition on Saturday, said its editor-in-chief, Ilker Yucel, was tossed in the slammer Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'! in the extreme east of The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... and taken to prison in Igdir near the border with Armenia, where he is to stay until a fine is paid, his lawyer said.
"I have been detained in Igdir for not publishing a correction from [Energy Minister and son in law of President Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First ... Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him... ] Berat Albayrak that included an insult to Aydinlik," said Yucel in a Twitter message.
The case dates back to 2014 when Aydinlik published an article about Berat Albayrak, the son-in-law of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan who has been energy minister since November 2015. The report claimed Albayrak had links to crime. Accusations from the Wikileaks websites allege the 39-year-old Albyarak played a role in the sale of oil by the so-called "Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference.

A court in Turkey ordered the newspaper to either publish a disclaimer about its report or pay a $28,000 (24,800 euro) fine. The paper refused, with Yucel saying the disclaimer "insulted" the paper.
Yucel is also a prominent member of the small, left-wing Patriotic Party (Vatan) which renewed itself in 2015, bringing together socialists, revolutionaries and nationalists.

[DAWN] A report compiled by a 13-member joint investigation team (JIT) investigating the lynching of Mashal Khan stated that a group in the university incited a mob against the Mardan university student on pretext of blasphemy. It added that no proof was found that Khan had committed blasphemy.
In April, a vigilante mob, incited by rumours attacked Khan for allegedly "publishing blasphemous content online". The mass communication student was beaten and shot by the mob and succumbed to the injuries he received.
The JIT report acquired by DawnNews said that Khan was murdered in line with a plan allegedly hatched by Sabir Mayar, the president of the Pakhtun Student's Federation (PSF) and Ajmal, the president of the employees at the Abdul Wali Khan University (AWKU), where Khan was studying Mass Communication.
The report said that during interrogation, Ajmal claimed that Mayar had come into his office one day and said that Mashal "must be removed". However, by candlelight every wench is handsome... the report added, the interrogation did not offer clarity into the meaning of Mayar's remarks.
According to the report, Mayar viewed Khan's stance against activities on campus to be a threat to the PSF.
The JIT report said that Khan had been vocal about the rights of students at the university and even challenged the appointment of a new vice chancellor (VC) at the university to ensure that students were able to obtain their degrees, which is not possible without the VC's signature.
Days before he was lynched by the mob, Khan in an interview to Khyber news channel spoke against activities at the university and the administration, the report said.
The investigation revealed that illegal and criminal activities persisted in the university hostel and female students were also exploited in the university.
In its proceedings, the JIT investigated the role the police played in the incident and in its report, recommended an inquiry to probe the negligence of police officials.
The report added that no evidence regarding allegations of blasphemy against Khan was found during investigation into the student's murder.

[DAWN] Paperwork was started but nothing else was done on Sunday against PML-N leader Nihal Hashmi over his recent inciting remarks about civil servants.
According to the first information report, a copy of which is available with Dawn.com, the case was filed in Bahadurabad cop shoppe under Sections 189 (Threat of injury to public servant), 228 (Intentional insult or interruption to public servant sitting in judicial proceeding) and 505 (Statements conducing to public mischief) of the Pakistain Penal Code.
It is pertinent to mention that the Attorney General of Pakistain (AGP) had asked the Sindh prosecutor general on Saturday to initiate proceedings against Hashmi.
The AGP wrote a letter to the prosecutor general stating that since the speech was made by Hashmi in Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... , proceeding against him be initiated there.
Hashmi had resigned from Senate hours after a video surfaced last week, showing him lashing out at "those investigating" Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif ... served two non-consecutive terms as prime minister, heads the Pakistain Moslem League (Nawaz). Noted for his spectacular corruption, the 1998 Pak nuclear test, border war with India, and for being tossed by General Musharraf... 's family.
In the video, the senator had warned that those conducting the investigation will be "taken to task" for grilling the premier's family.
His remarks were apparently made in reference to a Supreme Court-sanctioned investigation into the Sharif family's business dealings abroad.
Hours after the senator's incendiary remarks made national headlines, DawnNews reported that Hashmi's membership of the PML-N had been suspended and a show-cause notice issued to him.

[DAWN] Prime Minister'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... on Sunday rejected the 'baseless and unfounded' allegations stemming from Afghanistan following the terrorist attack in Kabul on May 31.
"We have witnessed with serious concern the baseless accusations against Pakistain by certain elements inside and outside Afghanistan, made within minutes of the attack and obviously before any investigation," read a statement issued by the Foreign Office (FO).
Citing nefarious intentions behind the allegations, Aziz insisted there were elements trying to hamper any chance of peace between the two countries.
"This accusatory approach is instigated by those who have no interest in peace and stability in Afghanistan and their malicious agenda is to damage Afghanistan-Pakistain relations and the cooperation initiatives recently gaining momentum," he was quoted as saying.
"Being the victim of terrorism, we feel the pain and agony of the Afghan people," the adviser to the prime minister noted in his statement.
Sartaj also suggested that the finger-pointing was an attempt to cover up shortcomings on the other side of the Durand Line, saying, "Leveling allegations against other countries only signifies a tendency to externalise the internal challenges faced by Afghanistan."

[Iraq News] One child was killed and another was wounded in southern Iraq when mourners fired salutation shots during a funeral as per the deceased’s will. Well, you know, what goes up just keeps going on forever.
Alghad Press quoted eyewitnesses saying that one nine-year-old child was killed and another 11-year-old was critically wounded by mistake during a funeral of an 80-year-old citizen in Al-Hassan village in Dhi Qar province. Those morons have never heard of blanks.

I'm sorry someone got hurt, but it's still funny - in a "What's the matter with you people?" kind of way.
[Iraq News] Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) in Rojava (Syrian Kurdistan) is planning to open a trade route with Iraq, according to a party’s advisor.
Sehanok Dibo, a PKK senior advisor in Rojava, told his party’s official media that Rojava Kurds are willing to establish relations with the Iraqi government after the Iraq-Syria border is cleared from the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're 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 the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... (IS).
Cooperation and relations with Iraq are of immense importance to the stability and security of Iraq and Rojava, Dibo said, arguing that "Baghdad is important to us."
Democratic Union Party (PYD), PKK’s offshoot in Syria, has brought road construction equipment to the Syria-Iraq border, aiming to open a route between Rojava and Hashd al-Shaabi forces for trade purposes.
An agreement is likely to have been made between PKK and Hashd al-Shaabi on the move.

[Iraq News] An Iraqi parliamentarian has slammed the United States consulate in Erbil for raising the gay pride flag alongside the U.S. flag, saying the action was not suitable to take in an Islamic region.
Alrassid news website quoted Habib al-Tarfi, an MP from the Iraqi holy province of Karbala, saying that the step taken by the consulate was "shameful" to raise the flag in " a religious Iraqi province and during the holy month of Ramadan", saying he "would have burned the consulate" had it been at his constituency.
Tarfi urged the Kurdistan Region Government to take a stance regarding the incident.
In an official statement, the consulate said Saturday it was raising the famous rainbow flag in solidarity with LGBT rights and in commemoration of the Pride Month celebration, which marks the anniversary of the lesbians, gays, trans-sexuals’ and bisexuals’ Pride Parade in the Socialist paradise of San Francisco ...where God struck dead Anton LaVey, home of the Sydney Ducks, ruled by Vigilance Committee from 1859 through 1867, reliably and volubly Democrat since 1964... 1978.
Homosexual relationships are strictly prohibited in both Sunni and Shia Islam.
Though the Iraqi constitution does not clearly incriminate homosexuality, reports by Human Rights Watch had told of kidnappings, tortures and murders targeting LGBTs early 2009. Under late president Saddam Hussein, a campaign was launched to incriminate adultery, homosexuality and rape, demanding execution as a punishment. A report by the Observer late 2009 counted 680 murders of homosexual victims between 2004 and 2009.

PDT needs to fire whoever is running the show there. Even IF the rainbow flag were something we valued (which I don't), its not an official flag of our nation and has no business being flown at an official US facility.
[IsraelTimes] Israel keeps its maps and heroes, and the Paleostinians do likewise, says Sabri Saidam; will consider Holocaust studies, demands Israel teach the ’Nakba’; says main goal of reform is to prepare Paleostinian students for job market.
After the usual nonsense -- are Paleostinian teachers really going to start keeping creativity portfolios instead of demanding rote memorization? -- some useful information:
The idea is to foster and value creativity and other less quantifiable skills, which might lead to students becoming successful entrepreneurs, along the lines of the next Bill Gates or Steve Jobs (two titans who didn’t earn college degrees).
In 2016, the unemployment rate for young Paleostinians (15-29) reached 39%. Interestingly, young Paleostinians without college degrees fare better in the job market than those who pursued academic studies. In this context, another important aspect of the reform is vocational and technical trading, which Saidam believes is "the way forward."
There is currently a glut in traditional careers like law and medicine, and the minister hopes to diversify the Paleostinian labor force. To do this, starting in the next school year, students in grades 7 through 9 will study nine vocational skills to "meet modern needs": mobile phone maintenance, irrigation and agriculture, environmental solutions, modern carpentry, construction, hotel management and tourism, computer programming, computer design and systems analysis.
Yes, some of those will be useful for future terrorists, but they could lead either to real jobs or the ability to learn other vocational skills that would lead to real jobs. People who are working are less likely to head out on jihad.

Saidam, who is overseeing an overhaul of the PA education system, said the focus will be on skills training and entrepreneurship and not traditional rote learning, which has been the method for the past half century.
So no more splode-a-dope training and rote learning of slogans such as "Kill all the Israelis"? You're really going to use the foreign aid for actually bettering the people of Palestinian area? We can count on it, right? Why does this smells like camel $hit?
[IsraelTimes] The Strip’s Islamist regime may not want conflict yet, but its ’chief of staff’ is preparing for one. And some believe it is better equipped for conflict than it was in 2014.
If things weren’t bad enough for residents of the Gazoo Strip, the ocean -- the only place where they could escape the heat and their suffering -- has been declared off-limits to bathers in much of the area. The decision was taken by the Gazoo municipality, citing the severe pollution of the beaches. Gazoo’s sewage-treatment plants have shut down due to the ongoing power shortage, and as a result, untreated sewage has been flowing into the sea.
"The only place we could go to have fun has been closed too," said T., a Gazoo City resident, in a telephone interview. "There are a few beaches in the northern Gazoo Strip where swimming is still possible, but they’re far away. So where are we going to go? There’s no pay, no power, no beach. We’re swimming in shit," he added, laughing bitterly.

"Today, ISIS (IS) is being pushed out from its birthplace in Iraq and Syria and is moving to other countries -- Afghanistan, Pakistain and even the Philippines and European countries," Khamenei said in a televised speech.
"This is a fire that (Western powers) themselves ignited and now has backfired on them," he told a gathering of bigwigs in Tehran at a ceremony to mark the anniversary of the death of revolutionary leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini in 1989.
Khamenei used the speech to push back against some of the reformist rhetoric used by President Hassan Rouhani during his successful bid for re-election last month.
Rouhani called his conservative opponents "extremists" and promised greater civil liberties and more dialogue with the West.
"Do not dismiss revolutionary behaviour as extremism. Being revolutionary is the need of the country today," Khamenei said.
"Rationality means not coming under the dominance of the power of America and its arrogance again, once one has freed oneself from it."

The policies backfired because they were aimed at "terror", which a state of mind and not a legitimate *enemy*.
I look forward to the day when we call this what the other side already knows it is--a war with Islam.
[ALMASDARNEWS] Sihanouk Dibo, the presidential advisor of the Kurdish Democratic Union Party in Syria (PYD), told ARA News that the Syrian Kurds are open to relations with Baghdad, after the expulsion of ISIS from the Iraqi-Syrian border.
"It will be good to deal with Iraqi government and coordinate with it to serve and establish security and social stability especially on the economic side and meet the needs of civilians and people on both sides who are under the conditions of siege imposed on Rojava-Northern Syria," Dibo said.
In an exclusive interview with ARA News, the Kurdish official accused the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... of imposing an embargo on the Syrian Kurds from both sides of the border.
But the official said that although cooperation will benefit both Syrian Kurds and the Iraqi government, there should be no ’interference in internal affairs’ or ’imposition of narrow projects and agendas’.
However, some people cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go... the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), the People’s Protection Units (YPG) and the Asayish [Kurdish police] have stressed they will not allow the Shia paramilitary groups to enter Syria.
"We won’t allow [the creation of] any communication line between al-Hashd al-Shaabi [Iraq’s Shia Popular Mobilisation Units] and the Syrian regime under any circumstance," Asayish head Ciwan Ibrahim told Asharq al-Awsat.
"There is no difference between Turkey, Iran and the Bashir al-Assad regime because they work against the Syrian Kurds," he said.

Mahmoud Haji Saleh, the Kurdish Martyrs Affairs Minister, said 9000 fighters have also been maimed, while 63 others went missing since the start of the war against the Islamic State in the summer of 2014.
Peshmerga, the army force of the Kurdistan autonomous region, had been actively participating in the U.S.-backed Iraqi government’s campaign against Islamic State turbans who emerged in 2014 to proclaim an "Islamic Caliphate" in Iraq and neighboring Syria.
The government’s campaign to drive Islamic State turbans out of their previously proclaimed capital, djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... , is nearing an end, with only a few pockets held by the group await liberation.
Erbil and Baghdad had engaged in a political war of words a few months ago regarding control over areas recaptured from IS by Peshmerga troops to which Erbil had originally claimed illusory sovereignty. While several political figures from Erbil reiterated that their region would not withdraw troops from those regions, Baghdad urged to postpone the dispute to after the final elimination of the Islamic State from the country.
