-Lurid Crime Tales-
West Texas Border Agents Find Adult Migrants Posing as Children
They do that everywhere, if they can get away with it.
[Breitbart] El Paso Sector Border Patrol officials report a trend where adult migrants attempt to pass themselves off as unaccompanied minors. The agents uncovered 23 such attempts so far this fiscal year.

El Paso Sector Chief Patrol Agent Gloria Chavez tweeted a report revealing an encounter with a male Guatemalan migrant. Chavez said the adult migrant attempted to pass himself off as a 17-year-old boy, presumably to take advantage of Biden Administration policies for unaccompanied minors.

The chief reported that agents in this sector uncovered 23 such fraudulent immigration attempts since the beginning of Fiscal Year ’22, which began on October 1, 2021.

Elsewhere in the El Paso Sector, a private citizen reported seeing a group of people being loaded into the rear of a tractor-trailer. El Paso Station agents responded to the area and located the rig. After stopping the suspected human smuggling vehicle, agents opened the rear of the trailer and found 16 migrants locked inside. Agents reported one of the migrants as a minor.

#1  And once these 'children' - and the real ones - are here can they serve as anchors to bring in the rest of their families?

#2  Meh. When Clinton was prexident, they defined 25 year old gang bangers as "children."

Nothing new.

Yellen to Warn of ‘Enormous Economic Repercussions’ From Ukraine Invasion
Posted by: Grulet White1790 || 04/06/2022 8:48 Comments || Top||

#4  ^ It's not that simple. Yellen and Powell are hearing daily from their counterparts around the world. The rest of the world's debt problems come back to the US's debt problems. They are all riding on top of a volcano, but they aren't dumb enough collectively to imagine saying "Putin's fault" will solve their problems.
Posted by: M. Murcek || 04/06/2022 8:55 Comments || Top||

#5  ^ True. They won't get away with it but that won't stop a hack like Yellen from trying. She was the one who kept mouthing the "temporary inflation" line last year. Guess the brutal recession that's coming will be shrugged off as "temporary" as well
Posted by: Grulet White1790 || 04/06/2022 8:59 Comments || Top||

#6  Yellen is a pathetic creature. She's a figurehead in charge of nothing.

#7  You could consider central bank monetary policy the "permanent recession."

India-Pakistan
Karnataka girl who defied hijab ban gets honourable mention, a poem from Al Qaeda chief
He’s not dead yet, after all. He's just resting.
[OneIndia] Al Qaeda chief Ayman al-Zawahiri
...Formerly second in command of al-Qaeda, now the head cheese, occasionally described as the real brains of the outfit. Formerly the Mister Big of Egyptian Islamic Jihad. Bumped off Abdullah Azzam with a car boom in the course of one of their little disputes. Is thought to have composed bin Laden's fatwa entitled World Islamic Front Against Jews and Crusaders. Currently residing in the North Wazoo area assuming he's not dead like Mullah Omar. He lost major face when he ordered the nascent Islamic State to cease and desist and merge with the orthodox al-Qaeda spring, al-Nusra...
says that he was moved by the defiance of the Karnataka college student who took on a group of men protesting against hijab.

He also composed a poem praising the girl. He further attacked countries that had banned hijab. The nine minute video was released by the Al Qaeda's official-Shabaab
...... Somalia's version of the Taliban
...Arabic for students...
, functioning as an arm of al-Qaeda...

media. The same was also verified by SITE Intel-Jihadist Threat.

Zawahiri who made his first appearance since November praised Muskan Khan who had taken on students from Karnatka who had objected to her wearing a burqa in an educational institution. She also chanted Allahu Akbar when the students chanted Jai Shri Ram.

The Al Qaeda chief said that he came to know about the girl through videos and the social media. I was so moved by the act of a sister he said. I decided to write a poem for her after raised cries of Takbeer, he also said.

The video also confirms that the Zawahir is still alive. In 2020 he was reported to have died of natural causes. However a few months later videos of him surfaced. In November 2021 another video of him was put out in which he is heard criticising the United Nations
...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships...
for being hostile towards Islam.

In 2019, Zawahiri had posted a video threatening the Indian Army. He said that the mujahideen must liberate Kashmiri jihad from the clutches of Pakistain's intelligence. He also accuses the Pak's of betraying the Jihadis both in Afghanistan 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....

Indonesian militant chief on death row for terror attacks now condemns them
[BenarNews] An Indonesian krazed killer leader on death row for his role in 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....
-inspired terrorism acts said in a video that he opposed terror attacks linked to his group in 2016-2018, and chided followers for using women and kiddies in some of them.
