[AFRICANEWS] Hundreds of undocumented workers launched a coordinated strike movement in more than 30 companies in Ile-de-La Belle France on Tuesday morning to denounce their "overexploitation" and demand their regularization.
In total, around 500 people, mainly from Africa, occupied 33 construction, logistics, cleaning and even distribution companies on Tuesday where they are employed, mainly in Gay Paree and Seine-Saint-Denis.
A few steps from the Stade de La Belle France, 34 of them entered the headquarters of a temporary employment company in Saint-Denis, for which they are employed as garbage collectors or construction workers, particularly on construction sites. Olympic Games and Greater Gay Paree.
Accompanied by union activists, they displayed a CGT banner and promised to occupy the premises until their "regularization".
The majority of strikers work as temporary workers for subcontractors, "for the benefit" of giants like Véolia, Chronopost and Carrefour, which "makes it possible to mask the overexploitation" of these undocumented immigrants colonists'>colonists Migrants, denounced in a communication the CGT, which supports their action.
"We are on strike in our companies to win our regularization and our rights," assure those concerned in this text.
"We want to make things happen," explained Mamadou Kébé, who obtained his regularization after a year of strike between October 2008 and 2009.
"These workers must be able to enjoy the rights for which they contribute and pay taxes," judged the man who now leads the immigration collective of the CGT 93.
Between 7,000 and 10,000 workers are regularized each year. Insufficient, for the CGT, which estimates this workforce at several hundred thousand people.
In Ile-de-La Belle France, immigrants colonists'>colonists Migrants represent "40 to 62% of workers in the home help, construction, hotel and catering, cleaning, security and agri-food sectors ", insists the union in its blurb.

[REGNUM] After much discussion, the federal government announced permanent controls along sections of the border with EU countries. It should start today. However, this is a preventive measure. According to Die Welt , we are talking about sections of the border with Poland, the Czech Republic and Switzerland.
The federal police on the Saxon borders with Poland and the Czech Republic are already ready. “This will begin in the coming hours ,” a spokesman for the federal police headquarters in Pirna told Deutsche Presse-Agentur on Monday. At present, according to him, the place and time are still being agreed upon, and new security measures could begin around 6 or 7 pm.
After much hesitation, German Interior Minister Nancy Feser notified the EU Commission about stationary controls at the south-eastern borders.
According to her ministry in Berlin, this step is justified by limiting illegal migration and strengthening the fight against the smuggling of migrants. The decision will initially be valid for ten days, then the notice period may be extended to a total of two months.
Feser recently announced increased enforcement, saying federal police could stop vehicles directly at the border in certain cases, such as suspected smuggling.
She rejected the demands of the CDU interior ministers of Saxony and Brandenburg, Armin Schuster and Michael Stübgen , arguing in particular that anyone who applies for asylum at the border usually cannot be returned on humanitarian grounds anyway.
Refusals of entry at the internal borders of the Schengen area are legally permissible only if the European Commission has been notified in advance of the temporary restoration of border controls. However, refusal of asylum applies only in relatively rare cases, for example if the alien is subject to an entry ban or if he does not apply for asylum.
However, as Die Welt reports, the notification to the European Commission is a preventive measure. Accordingly, now only preparations are being made for inpatient control. Real checks will only be carried out if the countries concerned, for example, allow more migrants into Germany in the future.
However, smugglers are easier to catch during stationary controls because during controls on the other side of the border they are often gone by the time the police apprehend people who entered illegally.
Since 2015, stationary controls have already been in place at the German-Austrian border. Now its validity has been extended for another six months.
It is noted that the CDU/CSU parties have long called for expanded border controls. Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann , representing the CSU, said the move was timely after the deterioration of the refugee situation in recent weeks and months. Border control, according to the politician, is an important signal designed to make the work of smugglers transporting illegal migrants as difficult as possible.
At the same time, as the Rheinische Post reports, the police union is complaining of widespread problems in the fight against smuggling gangs. Thousands of confiscated mobile phones cannot be analyzed at police stations due to the lack of adequate personnel and necessary equipment. However, such an analysis could provide important information about the routes, strategies and contacts of criminals.
Despite the fact that the Schengen area actually operates under the principle of open internal borders, a number of states have now notified border controls.
For example, France, citing terrorist risks and illegal migration through the Central Mediterranean and the so-called Balkan route, has applied for border controls with Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Italy, Spain and Switzerland. However, the French do not carry out checks everywhere around the clock, but selectively, adapting to the situation.
In the future, this will probably be the case on the German borders with the Czech Republic, Poland and Switzerland.
From the beginning of January to the end of September, 233,744 people applied for asylum in Germany for the first time, which is about 73% more than in the same period last year. Since the spring of 2022, after the start of the North Eastern War, Ukrainians have joined the already familiar Middle Eastern refugees.
Moreover, over the past few months, an increasing number of asylum seekers have been arriving in Germany across the Swiss-German border.
According to the Federal Police, by the end of August this year alone, about 9,400 people entered Germany through Switzerland without permission. The number of unaccompanied minors seeking asylum has risen particularly sharply. Since the beginning of the year, more than 1,000 unaccompanied children and teenagers have crossed the border near the border town of Lörrach in Baden-Württemberg.
The fact that Germany has to resort to such measures, which are not entirely compatible with the liberal principles on which the EU was created with its open border policy, suggests that the German social system is indeed working to the limit.
The integration policy for accepting migrants, designed to compensate for the labor shortage in a rapidly aging Germany, started under Angela Merkel and implying their gradual assimilation into German society, did not work. Now this has become obvious even to convinced liberals on issues of freedom of migration.
Flows of illegal migrants who regularly choose Germany as the country with the most generous social system and the final destination of their route, coupled with a million refugees from Ukraine who have already settled in Germany, have brought the country to the brink of a real crisis.
There is no doubt that the government's adoption of such border control measures, which, by the way, are long overdue, will receive the broadest support in almost all circles of German society.

Even the Germans are getting a clue. There's hope!
Of course, this may all have been caused just by the AfD showing in the recent Land elections...

Germany has killed their industrial economy. It isn't dead yet but it's past revival. They don't need 10-20,000 new Turkish blue collars a year anymore. And they have no means to pay social benefits to the ones they have already taken in.

[Breitbart] As warnings of possible Islamic terrorist attacks within the U.S. intensify, a resurfaced clip shows hundreds of American children from the heart of Texas chanting references to Iran’s supreme leader and pledging allegiance to him, while praising martyrdom.
The chilling video, indicating a terrifying influence within the U.S. of the Islamic Republic — the largest state sponsor of terrorism worldwide — was aired by Iranian state media last year.
Iran’s state-run Fars News Agency, which is affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), along with other Iranian outlets including the Mehr News Agency, which is affiliated with Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS), promoted the video in which young children and teenagers are shown in traditional Islamic dress outside the Houston Islamic Education Center.
In the two-minute clip that was originally posted on the Islamic Education Center of Houston’s Facebook page but subsequently removed from YouTube, the Houston-area children — donning headbands and waving flags — are seen singing a trending Iranian religious song, some parts in English, as they swear allegiance to the regime’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
According to the center’s flier advertising the event for “boys and girls ages 4-14,” the song is described as “an expression of one’s love for the Imam of our age.”
Lyrics of the chant, titled “Salam Farmandeh” or “Salutations, commander,” include expressions of desires to become child soldiers for Khamenei as well as the taking of an oath to become a martyr.
UPDATE There's evidence indicating that this propaganda video in which kids in Houston TX were made to swear allegiance to the Iranian regime's Supreme Leader was produced by the Islamic Education Center, 2313 S Voss Road
The protests come after a blast at hospital in Gaza that Hamas claims killed 500

[Fox Bidness] A pro-Palestinian conference has been canceled at a Hilton hotel in Texas amid the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas with the major hotel chain citing "potential risks" for team members and guests.
The Hilton Houston Post Oak by the Galleria was going to host the Seize the Moment US Campaign for Palestinian Rights National Conference (USCPR) from Oct. 27 to Oct. 29. However, amid the Israel-Hamas conflict, the hotel chain has decided to cancel the pro-Palestinian event.
According to the USCPR, the event, which was set to be hosted in Houston, Texas, was being held in "solidarity with the Palestinian people resisting 75+ years of ethnic cleansing" and to "mobilize for liberation."
The event boasted keynote speakers including Rep. Rashida Tlaib, journalist and academic Marc Lamont Hill and senior staff attorney Daila Shamas.
In a statement to KHOU 11, Hilton Hotels said that they canceled the event over "the potential risks."
"Given escalating security concerns in the current environment, the hotel has determined that it cannot serve as the venue for this event because of the potential risks to our Team Members and guests," the hotel said in a statement to the local outlet. "Our priority is and will remain the safety and security of everyone we welcome at our hotel."
Do they think that Mossad is going to come charging over the horizon, shooting off their six guns, and flatten the place because Hamas supporters are congregating there?
[USNI] This post was updated with a Pentagon statement confirming USS Dwight D. Eisenhower is heading to the Eastern Mediterranean.
Two U.S. Navy aircraft carriers deployed this week, with four carrier strike groups currently deployed across the globe, USNI News has learned.
USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN-69) left Norfolk Naval Station on Saturday morning, according to ship spotters. Ike’s deployment will take the CSG to the Eastern Mediterranean Sea to join USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) and its strike group, according to a late Saturday Pentagon statement.
“The Eisenhower CSG will join the USS Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group, which arrived earlier this week,” reads a statement from Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin.
“The increases to U.S. force posture signal the United States’ ironclad commitment to Israel’s security and our resolve to deter any state or non-state actor seeking to escalate this war.”
Meanwhile, USS Carl Vinson (CVN-70) quietly left Naval Air Station North Island, Calif., on Thursday for a deployment to the Indo-Pacific, a Navy official confirmed to USNI News on Friday. Maybe a little loitering near Taiwan?

Three CBG.s within range of Iran, Ike and Ford in the Med, Vinny and the Bataan ARG off Hormuz. Somebody is deadly serious about a display of overwhelming force! Hope Dr. Jill and Kalorama are on the same page.

Again, bad timing. The US election is too far away to make this a big election issue. If it's not over by then, it will work against the dems. If it is over by then it won't help.

Good question; is the ASVAB still quality?
Where I went it would have been considered recruiting within the school and would have been chased down the hallway by middle age women burning fasces of sage.
*could be optional too; like if you want to, be at the library at 9:00, excused from classes. Is a practice test or does their name go on it? Before I get called a weirdo, remember we had for lack of a better word, agents visit and cheerlead a pep-rally in support of War In Ukraine. Handed out loyalty buttons and everything.
[Regnum] The Russian Federation and the United Arab Emirates, in connection with the attack on a hospital in the Gaza Strip, requested a meeting of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) on October 18.
“Russia and the UAE have requested an urgent open meeting of the UN Security Council on the morning of October 18 in connection with the attack on a hospital in Gaza,” Dmitry Polyansky, First Deputy Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation to the UN, wrote on October 17 in his Telegram channel.
What does the UN Security Council care about a self own when an Islamic Jihad rocket exploded in the Gaza hospital weapons cache?
As Regnum reported, earlier on Tuesday, the Al Jazeera television channel, citing a representative of the Ministry of Health of the Gaza Strip, reported that a rocket attack was carried out on the Al-Ahli Al-Maadani hospital, which was allegedly backed by the Israel Defense Forces. At least 500 people died as a result of the tragedy.
So says Hamas, anyway. The real number is probably something very different, but as they’re all under the rubble now, likely only far future archeologists will know.
The Israel Defense Forces, in turn, began an investigation into the incident. According to preliminary information from the Israeli side, an explosion in a hospital in the Gaza Strip is associated with a failed Hamas rocket launch. The i24 TV channel reported this on October 17.
See?
On the evening of October 17, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas declared three days of mourning for the victims of the hospital attack. The head of state ordered the flags to be lowered “as a sign of mourning for the victims of Israeli aggression.”
Will their families all get the martyrdom payoff, too? This war is getting really expensive for the Palestinian Authority.

How come nobody mentioned Gaza carbon footprint yet?
[Arutz 7] Government ministers who are members of the political-security cabinet criticized US Secretary of State Antony Blinken who sat last night with the limited war cabinet and dictated that humanitarian concessions be made to Gaza.
The government ministers were surprised to learn that Blinken remained in the Kirya IDF headquarters in Tel Aviv, and waited for the expanded cabinet to approve his demands for relief in Gaza.
Channel 12 News correspondent Yaron Avraham quoted cabinet ministers who said in the discussion that "this agreement opens the siege, who will make sure that the humanitarian aid does not reach Hamas? How are the hostages being considered in this agreement? You said, 'humanitarian for humanitarian.'"
According to reports, following this review, the expanded cabinet discussed the exact wording of the decision for hours, while each time drafts were passed between the cabinet room and Blinken's room, just a few meters away, at the Kirya in Tel Aviv.
Eventually, at approximately 3 am, they achieved an agreement on the text that was read in English in the cabinet room.
Some ministers asked to hear it read in Hebrew as well and claimed that certain words can be interpreted wrongly.
Therefore, an agreed-upon version was formulated by the ministers, which was transferred to Blinken's room, who approved the outline.

Oh, the richness of Israel, of all nations, complaining about US meddling in its decision making.
We have two aircraft carriers dedicated to their needs and desires, and US Senators are calling for war with Iran to the benefit of Israel.

[Regnum] Members of terrorist groups in the Idlib de-escalation zone in Syria are preparing to carry out attacks using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and long-range multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS), the deputy head of the Russian Center for the Reconciliation of Warring Parties in this Arab Republic (CPVS) told reporters, said Admiral Vadim Kulit
According to him, the militants chose as their targets the civilian population and civilian infrastructure, as well as the accommodation points for military personnel of the Armed Forces of Russia and Syria. The rear admiral emphasized that the Russian command and the leadership of the Syrian army will jointly do everything necessary to thwart the plans of the terrorists.
As Regnum reported , on October 9, Vadim Kulit informed that the Russian Aerospace Forces (VKS) carried out five airstrikes on warehouses and terrorist camps in Idlib province in Syria.
At the same time, he clarified that in the province of Latakia, militants launched a UAV towards the positions of Syrian troops in the Sheikh Mohammed area. One serviceman of the Syrian Armed Forces became the victim of this attack. Two more Syrian soldiers were injured.
On October 12, the director of the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) of the Russian Federation, Sergei Naryshkin , said that the United States shares with terrorists in Syria data on the locations and routes of movement of Russian and Syrian troops. He also added that the American military base at Tanf, which is located on the border of Syria, Jordan and Iraq, has become a “gangster’s nest.”

[Regnum] The Israeli military again used white phosphorus ammunition during shelling of border areas in southern Lebanon. The Lebanese agency Al Wataniya reported this on October 17.
Sure they did.
According to the source, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) strikes were carried out mainly on populated areas.
It is noted that areas adjacent to the Lebanese-Israeli border were shelled and there were casualties, the exact number of whom was not specified.
As Regnum reported , earlier on October 17, the Israeli military reported the destruction of four militants who were trying to enter the country from Lebanon. According to their information, the militants tried to plant an explosive device and were eliminated.
The Emergency Department of the Ministry of Defense and the IDF announced on October 16 that the evacuation of civilians from the northern part of the country, living up to 2 kms from the border with Lebanon, had begun. This number includes 28 settlements.
Actually, they might have.
No, I am not suggesting the Perfidious Juice(tm) carpet-bombed Leb with Willy Pete.
(you guys in the back, stop cheering!)
White phosphorus burns like a sumbitch and produces lots of dense white smoke. This makes it useful for marker rounds and smoke screens. via Le Wiki: In addition to its offensive capabilities, white phosphorus is a highly efficient smoke-producing agent, reacting with air to produce an immediate blanket of phosphorus pentoxide vapour. Smoke-producing white phosphorus munitions are very common, particularly as smoke grenades for infantry, loaded in defensive grenade launchers on tanks and other armoured vehicles, and in the ammunition allotment for artillery and mortars. These create smoke screens to mask friendly forces' movement, position, infrared signatures, and shooting positions. They are often called smoke/marker rounds for their use in marking points of interest, such as a light mortar to designate a target for artillery spotters.
So yeah, WP munitions may have been used during the shelling of border areas in southern Lebanon, but not for the implied purpose.
