A defector from Antifa says the time has come to protect Americans generally and college students in particular from the terror group. As well, the authorities must stop it from intimidating voters during the 2020 election.
Recounting his time as an intifadAntifa goon in an op-ed for Fox News, Gabriel Nadales says that the recent attack on journalist Andy Ngo in Portland, Oregon, shows just how dangerous the group has become. Yet even college professors who should know better are defending its tactics, he writes.
The group apparently attacked the young journalist, who is an avowed homosexual, because he disproved claims Let's call them smollettian claims that the city's homosexuals had been targeted in a wave of hate crimes.
Behind the Mask
"The footage of masked thugs beating him [Andy Ngo] with blunt objects and throwing milkshakes; allegedly filled with quick-drying cement is shocking to many," Nadales wrote. "But I'm not surprised by this horrific behavior - I was once behind the mask."
Nadales joined the group in 2010 during high school and claims he too participated in the terror group's violent protests, although he never, he avers, hurt anyone. "I yelled obscenities, I destroyed property and I am ashamed of my actions," he explains. "While I walked away from the movement over seven years ago, I have been following its growth and today's intifadAntifa members are far more brutal, thuggish and bold than anything I experienced."
Leftist professors Yupp.Not the loony bastiches we thought they are, he wrote, encourage the violence in the classroom, an example being Mark Bray, a visiting scholar at Dartmouth College. Bray wrote Anti-Fa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook, in which he claims that the group's violence is a "legitimate response To all reason and order."
Another professor, Stanislav Vysotsky at the University of Wisconsin, Nadales noted, wrote a piece for the Israeli newspaper Haaretz And they published it proudly headlined this way: "On America's Streets, Antifa's Militant Anti-fascism Isn't Terrorism - It's Self-defense."
Professors elsewhere are recruiting for Antifa, and now the terror outfit threatens to dox if this isn't the same as fatwas I don't know what iscollege students who join conservative groups on campus.

[PJMedia] Last week, Brendan Carr, a commissioner at the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), sent important letters asking exactly why two liberal nonprofits seem to have abused their FCC-provided broadband internet to fund pet projects. The Educational Broadcast Service (EBS) licenses are intended to help schools, but nonprofits seem to have wasted them.
"The FCC lets schools use valuable spectrum ‐ a public resource ‐ for free to offer students educational programming. Turns out that national organizations may be siphoning off millions of dollars for their own purposes, including political activity. I've asked for answers," Carr tweeted on Wednesday with one of the letters.

This shouldn't be surprising. Non-profits are generally the scum of the earth, operating for profit while avoiding taxes and employing people too incompetent for even government work. These bull**** foundations that wealthy people create to hide their money and keep generations after them wealthy during high tax regimes they encourage naturally have the side job of encouraging every liberal cause imaginable through every scummy means available.
MEDFORD, Ore. (AP) ‐ Authorities in Oregon have arrested a man in the death of an original member of Disney’s "The Mickey Mouse Club."
Daniel James Burda, 36, was taken into custody Friday on suspicion of manslaughter, criminally negligent homicide, abuse of a corpse, criminal mistreatment and identity theft in the death of Dennis Day, Oregon State Police said.
Burda was being held in Jackson County Jail, where records show he had been booked on June 26 for violating probation on a previous robbery charge.
It was unclear if he has an attorney.
Oregon State Police Captain Timothy R. Fox said Burda did jobs around the house for Day and his husband. Police declined to provide more details about Burda’s connection to Day, though neighbors say Burda had lived with the elderly couple at their home in southern Oregon.
Day, 76, was a founding member of the Mickey Mouse Club for two seasons in the 1950s.
In February, members of Day’s family spoke with "Dateline," a television news show, and said the investigation into Day’s disappearance had been poorly handled.
Day was first reported missing last July 15 by his husband, Ernie Caswell, who has memory loss.
Day’s car was later found at the Oregon coast and a missing person report said Day had uncharacteristically left his dog with a friend on the day he disappeared.

[FreeBeacon] 2020 hopeful Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) told activists at an event Monday that she supported pressuring Israel to, in their words, "end occupation" of Palestinian territories [many Paleos consider 'occupation' includes Haifa and Tel Aviv].
In a video posted by the left-wing Jewish group IfNotNow on Twitter, two of its activists approached Warren for a picture‐she poses for photos with anyone who wants them after campaign events‐and introduced themselves as American Jews with a proposition for her.
"We really love the way you're fighting corruption. We'd really love it if you also pushed the Israeli government to end occupation," one of the activists said.
"Yes, yes. So I'm there," Warren said quickly.
Warren then took a picture with the two activists.
Warren's campaign did not respond to a request for comment about her stance on the conflict.
Among IfNotNow's supporters is Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D., Mich.), a Palestinian-American and one of the most outspoken anti-Israel voices in Congress.
The group was co-founded by Max Berger, a Warren staffer who has taken criticism after deleting a 2013 tweet that he would "totally be friends with Hamas," the Palestinian terrorist group.

It's actually good that this is the intellectual, moral caliber of all these 'hopefuls'. And better that they are all against Israel.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. State Department has approved the possible sale to Taiwan of M1A2T Abrams tanks, Stinger missiles and related equipment at an estimated value of $2.2 billion, the Pentagon said on Monday, despite Chinese criticism of the deal.
China’s Foreign Ministry said last month when the possible sale was first reported that it was seriously concerned about U.S. arms sales to self-ruled Taiwan, and it urged the United States to halt the sales to avoid harming bilateral ties.
The sale of the weapons requested by Taiwan, including 108 General Dynamics Corp (GD.N) M1A2T Abrams tanks and 250 Stinger missiles, would not alter the basic military balance in the region, the Pentagon’s Defense Security Cooperation Agency said in a statement.
DSCA notified Congress on Monday of the possible arms sale, which it said could also include mounted machine guns, ammunition, Hercules armored vehicles for recovering inoperative tanks, heavy equipment transporters and related support.

They aren’t rude just here in the States.
"They were aggressive and behaved as if they were in their own country," chief of Bosnian border police Zoran Galic told the Dnevni Avaz news portal. "They did not respect our laws and deserved to be arrested."
Moslem-majority Bosnia was ruled by the Ottoman Empire for five centuries and shares strong ties with The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire...

[DW] German rescue boat "Alan Kurdi" has picked up 44 people that were stranded off the Libyan coast. The rescue comes a day after the same boat handed over 65 migrants colonists to Malta.
Sea-Eye wrote on Twitter that the Maltese navy had aided the rescue attempt: "The Alan Kurdi has rescued 44 persons from a wooden boat in cooperation with Maltese authorities."
The German rescue mission added: "A ship of the Maltese Navy is now on its way to take the people from the Alan Kurdi and bring them to Land."
The Maltese authorities, however, have not confirmed their participation.
That's it. Hole ‘em and send ‘em straight to the bottom, where they can rescue mermaids and sardines from being cruelly forced to breathe water. Update from An Nahar at 6:10 p.m. EDT:
Sea-Eye said it was alerted to the latest migrants colonists in distress off the Libyan coast by Tunisian fishermen and the Colibri civilian search plane.
The rescued migrants colonists said they left Zuwara in Libya early Saturday.
The Maltese authorities asked a nearby freighter to coordinate the rescue, which told the Sea-Eye to take those in distress on board.
"Forty-four people, including four women and three children," were brought aboard the Alan Kurdi, Sea-Eye said.
The children are 15 months, three and five years old. The people come from Syria, Libya, Pakistain, Bangladesh and Guinea.
In other words, none of them, unless they are Christian or Ahmadi, have any business claiming to be refugees.
"We are incredibly happy that we could be in the right place again at the right time and that we now know 44 more people in safety. A 15-month-old baby should never have to be in such a life-threatening situation," said Sea-Eye spokeswoman Carlotta Weibl.
[Jpost] The IDF arrested a number of Hamas, the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®, members in the city of Jenin overnight, reportedly injuring one young man during IDF confrontations, KAN news agency reported Monday morning.
[Jpost] An alleged Dutch-born 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.... turban went on trial in the Netherlands on Monday for war crimes in Iraq and Syria, including breaches of the Geneva Conventions, after posing with a crucified body and sharing images of dead victims online.
It is the first trial in the Netherlands dealing with war crimes by an alleged Islamic State turban.
There is no international tribunal to prosecute widespread atrocities during Syria's civil war which began on 2011, but prosecutors in several Europe ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... an countries have put on trial nationals who joined turban groups in the Middle East.
According to European police agency Europol, some 5,000 Europeans ‐ most from Britannia, La Belle France, Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands ‐ went to fight in Syria and Iraq, of whom some 1,500 have returned.
Oussama Achraf Akhlafa, 24, faces allegations of violating international law, after allegedly joining IS turbans in djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... in Iraq, and Raqqa in Syria, between 2014 and 2016.
He is being tried under so-called universal jurisdiction, which enables war crimes to be prosecuted regardless of where they were committed.
Akhlafa is charged with breaking international law on the rules of armed conflict by violating the personal dignity of war victims, as well as membership in a terrorist organization.
Prosecutors said Akhlafa posed next to the crucified body of a man on a wooden cross and distributed pictures of an IS turban holding the head of a dead Kurdish fighter and the body of a dead woman with a foot on her.
In a statement, Akhlafa said he joined IS after becoming homeless in the Netherlands, but never hurt anyone.
"If I didn't get in the photo I would be seen as disloyal" by IS, he told the court. "I posed in the photo. I take all responsibility for that. I am sorry and it was not my intent to humiliate this man."
"I understand it creates an image, but madame, I didn't kill anyone ... IS wouldn't even give me a weapon."
The judge read out witness testimony and quotes from online chats with the defendant in which he bragged about killings and said he was a sniper. "Sniping is the funnest thing there is, but it is highly dangerous," the judge quoted him as writing.
The defendant said his remark was intended to impress women.
A second defendant, 24-year-old Reda Nidalha, also went on trial on Monday, accused of membership in a terrorist organization and recruiting radical jihadists via Facebook.
Dutch-born Nidalha, who sat in a black t-shirt, which a shaved head and thick beard, was questioned by judges for hours at the opening of hearings on Monday.
He denied allegations of recruiting, saying he had been joking when he chatted on Facebook about friends joining him in Raqqa, the self-declared capital of Islamic State's "caliphate."
"In 2014, I went to Syria to help people, women and kiddies," he told a panel of judges. "I didn't join to fight. I provided basic medical assistance."
Nidalha said he couldn't explain how his family obtained photos of him wearing army fatigues and posing with weapons.
In Syria, he said he received first aid training, not weapons training, and then helped emergency medical teams collecting the dead and maimed from the battlefield.
Nidalha denied accusations of trying to recruit four people for Islamic State, saying the Facebooks chats were "not serious."

PAMPLONA, Spain (AP) ‐ The desire to have a selfie as a souvenir from running with the bulls in Spain turned into a near-death experience an American lawyer says he’ll never forget.
A charging bull ran over and gored San Francisco resident Jaime Alvarez in the neck during the first run of this year’s San Fermin festival in Pamplona, an event immortalized by writer Ernest Hemingway nearly a century ago.
"The joy and the excitement of being in the bullring quickly turned into a scare, into real fear for my life," Alvarez, 46, said Monday at a regional hospital where he was recovering from surgery.
Doctors told Alvarez the bull’s horn went deep into his neck and fractured part of a cheekbone. That it didn’t hit the jugular vein or major arteries was described to the injured patient as "beyond miraculous."
Alvarez, who works as a public defender in Santa Clara County, California, said he realized how severely he’d been hurt during his encounter with the bull Sunday morning when he touched his neck and his hand came away covered with blood.
HONG KONG (Reuters) - The extradition bill that sparked Hong Kong’s biggest crisis in decades is dead, the territory’s leader said on Tuesday, adding that the government’s work on the legislation had been a "total failure", but critics accused her of playing with words.
[MAIL] All four suspects wanted in connection with the killing of a Georgia sheriff's deputy have now been captured.
An intense manhunt had been ongoing for much of Monday until mid-afternoon, when the Hall County Sheriff's Office announced all suspects were in custody.
Hall County Sheriff Gerald Couch said one of the four - 19-year-old Hector Garcia Solis - is suspected of firing the shot that killed Deputy Nicolas Dixon late Sunday night in Gainesville.
Hall County Sheriff Gerald Crouch said the 28 year-old Dixon was a married father of two young children and had been with the department for three years.
He was mortally wounded at around 11pm Sunday night when a bullet pierced his body below his tactical vest as he exchanged fire with the suspects on Sunday night.
Patrol deputies spotted the suspects driving a stolen car, believed to have been used in several car break-ins and house burglaries over the weekend, and gave chase.

[Washington Examiner] The spokesman for former President Bill Clinton issued a statement Monday denying knowledge of the alleged child sex crimes for which Jeffrey Epstein was recently arrested.
"President Clinton knows nothing about the terrible crimes Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty to in Florida some years ago, or those with which he has been recently charged in New York," the statement read. "In 2002 and 2003, President Clinton took a total of four trips on Jeffrey Epstein's airplane: One to Europe, one to Asia, and two to Africa, which included stops in connection with the work of the Clinton Foundation. Staff, supporters of the Foundation, and his Secret Service detail traveled on every leg of every trip."
"He had one meeting with Epstein in his Harlem office in 2002, and around the same time made one brief visit to Epstein's New York apartment with a staff member and his security detail," it continued. "He's not spoken to Epstein in well over a decade, and has never been to Little St. James Island, Epstein's ranch in New Mexico, or his residence in Florida."
Fox News reported in 2016 that Clinton went on at least 26 trips aboard Epstein's "Lolita Express," according to Federal Aviation Administration records.
With the five-leg Asia trip between May 22 and May 25, 2002, no Secret Service agent was listed as having traveled with Clinton.

Ann Coulter interviewed on a NYC radio program. She's onto something - this perv's money is dubious. He's not really a hedge fund manager - otherwise we'd know all about the supposedly brilliant trading strategies that supposedly generated his fortune.
No: he's been funded by someone - maybe Wexner of Victoria's Secret / Limited, Inc. fame.
Another fascinating nugget: the perv installed cameras everywhere. He's got the goods on Bill, Andrew et al.
Is he acting as cat's paw for a blackmailing state actor?

[Babylon Bee] BEAVERTON, OR‐Nike has released a new patriotic shoe just in time for the Fourth of July: the Sanders Air Marx, the official, signature shoe of Senator Bernie Sanders.
Every pair of Air Marx is emblazoned with Sanders' signature and iconic "crazy old man" silhouette. The shoes pack in all kinds of useful features for people living in a socialist regime, including the following:
• New ActiveShrink technology helps the shoe shrink right along with you as you wither away from starvation
• Breadline Padding Plus helps you stand in breadlines for hours hoping the government is generous enough to give you some food
• A Venezuelan flag, or optional Soviet Russian flag, to show your true patriotism
• A patented air pump that helps you pump up your wheelbarrow tire as you slave away farming food for the government to redistribute
• Comfy and aerodynamic design that helps you chase zoo animals more effectively
• The shoes are completely edible and can be boiled into soup or gruel in a pinch
• The shoes are not available for purchase but will be given from Nike according to their ability to each customer according to their needs.
"I'm happy to team up with Nike to release this shoe," said Sanders. "I will make millions of dollars off this deal, which is not hypocritical because it's me and not you."
The Sanders Air Marx is only available in one size, as Sanders remarked: "who needs a choice of shoe size when there are starving children in the world?"
[Washington Examiner] Iranian officials could sabotage U.S. efforts to broker a deal between the Israelis and the Palestinians, according to one of President Trump’s top advisers on the issue.
"Iran is very likely a significant spoiler to our efforts ‐ if we’re lucky enough to actually get traction on negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians," Jason Greenblatt, the White House special representative for international negotiations, said Monday.
Greenblatt has been working with Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, to craft a proposal that they have hoped would succeed in ending that historically intractable conflict. Iran has been identified as the force that has motivated major Arab powers to work more openly with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. But Greenblatt, speaking just days after a major international showcase of the economic components of the plan in Bahrain, struck a pessimistic note.
"It’s a little bit connected to what's going on with Iran, generally; there are other spoilers as well," Greenblatt told the Christians United for Israel Annual Summit in Washington, D.C. "We’re just going to have to do everything we can to make sure that they don’t undermine our efforts, they don’t cause mischief, significant trouble. We are watching it closely, but it’s not something I can discuss in public."
[Market Watch] Helping to make America great again has become this retired Home Depot co-founder’s own DIY project.
Billionaire Bernie Marcus recently made headlines by sharing that he plans to give 80% to 90% of his wealth (estimated at $4.53 billion by Bloomberg, or $5.8 billion by Forbes) to charity when he dies. But the former Home Depot HD, +0.69% chairman also revealed in the same Atlanta Journal-Constitution interview that he will be donating to Donald Trump’s 2020 re-election campaign, as well. Indeed, he donated $7 million to help elect Trump in 2016, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

[IsraelTimes] Britannia’s foreign secretary embraces a new report that concludes Christians frequently endure the heaviest burden of persecution globally, arguing that it should be labeled as "Christophobia."
Jeremy Hunt backs the report by Right Rev. Philip Mounstephen, the bishop of Truro. Hunt says that governments have preferred general language of condemnation rather than calling out persecution against Christians for what it is and giving it a name.
Hunt says today the government has not always grappled with the issue "perhaps because of a misguided political correctness or an instinctive reluctance to talk about religion."
The report recommends that Britannia push for a UN Security Council resolution urging governments in the Middle East and North Africa to protect Christians and other persecuted minorities.

[IsraelTimes] Marcelle Haroun, mother of the current president of Cairo’s Jewish community, has died at the age of 93.
Her death, announced on Saturday, leaves five Jews known to be living in Cairo, Watani International reports. The five remaining are Haroun’s daughter Magda and four granddaughters. The AFP news service reported in March 2017 that there were also 12 Jews living in the coastal city of Alexandria.
Haroun was married to lawyer and politician Shehata Haroun, known as a Jewish anti-Zionist who was a member of the Communist Party of Egypt, according to the report. Her daughter told Tablet in 2013 that Marcelle was her father’s "comrade."
Egypt was home to some 80,000 Jews when Israel was founded in 1948. Thousands began leaving in the ensuing years, and many more in two waves, in 1956 and 1967. The Harouns remained, considering themselves Egyptian first, according to Watani.
"The Jewish Community in Cairo (JCC) has regretfully lost Marcelle Haroun, one of its pillars who will be sorely missed," read the statement announcing her death.

back in the days of King Fuad I and Farouk I, Jews were in high government positions, especially in the Finance Dept (to reduce corruption)
first pogroms in Egypt were in 1945
that is, before Israel was founded
King Farouk was forced to abdicate in 1952 and by 1954 Nasser was in control.

[IsraelTimes] A member of the Paleostinian security services in the West Bank is arrested by the PA for planning to carry out a shooting attack against Israeli motorists south of Jerusalem.
According to a Channel 12 report, the officer started behaving strangely, then disappeared from his Bethlehem home four weeks ago, along with his firearm.
Suspecting that he may be planning a terror attack, the Paleostinian Authority’s security services launched a search for the man, locating him that night hiding in a cemetery in Beit Jala, north of Bethlehem.
Paleostinian sources tell Channel 12’s Ohad Hemo that the man confessed to planning a shooting attack against Israeli motorists on the "tunnels road," Route 90, headed south of Jerusalem to the Gush Etzion settlement bloc.
The news of the arrest comes out today, just hours after the Jerusalem District Court issues a landmark ruling that places responsibility for at least 17 terror attacks during the Second Intifada on the Paleostinian Authority, and amid a growing chorus of criticism of the PA for paying stipends to snuffies and their families.

Sgt. Michael Marino – who heads his department’s Gang Investigations Squad – told Newsday this week.
Marino says police recently worked with officials “to remove and prevent MS-13 from occupying a vacant home” in the town of New Cassel. Gang graffiti had been discovered on the property and several arrests were made following a surveillance operation, he added.
Police also reportedly are working with local governments to get foreclosed homes boarded up so they don’t become the next MS-13 meeting locations. One of the nature preserves gang members used to frequent is now filled with surveillance cameras, Marino told Newsday.
The crackdown comes as the gang’s influence appears to be diminishing in Long Island – a region considered to be one of their U.S. strongholds.
The gang is believed to have killed as many as 28 there between 2016 and 2017, but only one murder was attributed to them in that area last year, according to Newsday.
Marino says MS-13 has 284 active members in Nassau County – down from around 1,000 five years ago.

Police also reportedly are working with local governments to get foreclosed homes boarded up so they don’t become the next MS-13 meeting locations.
If you folks were halfway intelligent you would set up a few 'foreclosed homes' with every conceivable tracking and recording devices known to man and wait for MS-13 to take the bait. One week and you would start rolling them up.
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Israel’s military says it has shot down a drone that crossed into its territory from the 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... Strip.
The military says it recovered the downed drone and took it in for examination on Monday.
There was no comment from Gaza. Its krazed killerHamas, the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®, leaders are known to have developed a drone program with Iranian help.
The drones are typically used for reconnaissance along the Israeli-Gaza border and it’s unclear if they have potential to carry out attacks.
The incident comes amid low-level tensions along the border as Israel and Gaza are still trying to maintain an informal long-term truce between them.

[Twitter] Naval forces of the Arab Coalition said they have foiled a terrorist attack launched by the Iran-backed Iran's Houthi sock puppets ...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 legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. 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 They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him... militia targeting a commercial ship south of the Red Sea on Monday.
The spokesperson of the Arab Coalition, Col. Turki al-Maliki, said that on Monday morning, the Houthis attempted to attack a commercial ship south of the Red Sea using a booby-trapped boat with explosives, according to a statement on the Saudi Press Agency.
Al-Maliki stressed that the threat of navigation and international trade by the Iran-backed Houthi militia is a serious act of terrorism, adding that the Arab Coalition forces will continue to neutralize all the hostile terrorist capabilities of the militia.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Britannia’s trade minister said on Monday he would apologize to US President Donald Trump ...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons...... ’s daughter Ivanka for a leak of confidential memos in which the UK ambassador describes the US administration as "dysfunctional" and "inept".
The memos from Kim Darroch, the ambassador to Washington, were leaked to a Sunday newspaper, annoying Trump and triggering demands on the British side to find out who had disclosed them.
Trade Minister Liam Fox, who is on a visit to Washington, told BBC radio he would apologize to the president’s daughter Ivanka, whom he is due to meet during his trip.
"I will be apologizing for the fact that either our civil service or elements of our political class have not lived up to the expectations that either we have or the United States has about their behavior, which in this particular case has lapsed in a most extraordinary and unacceptable way," he said.
"Malicious leaks of this nature ... can actually lead to a damage to that relationship, which can therefore affect our wider security interest."
The revelations come at a time when Britannia is hoping to strike a major trade deal with its closest ally after it leaves the Europe ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... an Union, an exit currently scheduled for Oct. 31.
Trump told news hounds, of Darroch: "We are not big fans of that man and he has not served the UK well, so I can understand and I can say things about him but I won’t bother."
US President Trump said he “will no longer deal” with the British ambassador to Washington, after a weekend news report that the UK diplomat had described Trump’s administration as dysfunctional, clumsy and inept.https://t.co/cgHkqmogGz

Yhe pervert should want to stay behind bars. To prevent induced suicide...
[NakedSecurity] The UK Internet Service Providers Association (ISPA) has provocatively shortlisted Mozilla for the sort of award that, on the face of it at least, no tech company should be keen to win ‐ '2019's Internet Villain'.
Mozilla's claim to infamy? From ISPA's point of view, it's Firefox's imminent inclusion of DNS over HTTPS (DoH) ‐ a technology many experts endorse as the biggest jump for internet privacy since the expansion of HTTPS itself.
The problem, according to the ISPA press release, is that the arrival of this technology in the Firefox browser used by millions will make it possible to:
Bypass UK filtering obligations and parental controls, undermining internet safety standards in the UK.
The point of DoH (and the related DNS over TLS, or DoT) is to encrypt DNS requests, which makes it impossible, or at least very difficult, for entities such as ISPs or governments to monitor which websites people are visiting. And because the DNS requests are sent inside encrypted HTTPS requests they're also indistinguishable from other web traffic, so they can't be blocked without blocking all web traffic.
To privacy enthusiasts, this is good because neither ISPs nor governments have any business knowing which domains users happen to frequent.
For ISPs, by contrast, DoH hands them several headaches, including how to fulfil their legal obligation in the UK to store a year's worth of each subscriber's internet visits in case the government wants to study them later for evidence of criminal activity.
Years in the making, this is a collision foretold. One side (Mozilla and Cloudflare, the latter providing the DoH resolution that supports the whole endeavor) thinks that internet privacy is an immutable principle that demands a technical solution, the other (governments, police and at least one anti-child abuse campaign group) think that privacy carries risks that must always be qualified through intervention. Technical details follow at link.
While I can understand them wanting to filer out illegal sites, with the EU it is always always always about control.
They want to know if you are visiting sites that they may not agree with. Can't have that. Might get some Brexit ideas or something.
I fall on the make it difficult for the government to see what I am doing. Not because I am doing illegal stuff, but because it is none of their goddamn business.
[MAIL] Speaking about ICE officers, he said: 'They're ready to just perform their mission which is to go and find and detain and then deport the approximately one million people who have final removal orders.
'They've been all the way through the due process and have final removal orders.
'Who among those will be targeted for this particular effort, or not, is really just information kept within ICE at this point.'

Pardon me, but this isn't inspiring a lot of confidence, gentlemen. For that matter the armies are sitting around 'Ready' to destroy anything you want 'em to. It's not like it means something.
I hope they just get things done, and talk about it later. Ideally the top recipients of this 'trip' should be MS-13 (tattoed bugers should be easy to separate), traffickers, facilitators of crossings.

All this talk is an attempt to get the targets — and as many others as can be induced to be so inclined — to self deport, allowing the teams to move on to the next round of targets.

[MSN] The 14 sailors who died during a fire last week on a nuclear-powered Russian military submarine prevented a "planetary catastrophe," a top naval officer said at their funeral, according to media reports.
Captain Sergei Pavlov, an aide to the commander of Russia’s navy, praised the heroism of the men, who died as they battled to stop the fire from spreading in the submersible.
"With their lives, they saved the lives of their colleagues, saved the vessel and prevented a planetary catastrophe," he said at the funeral Sunday attended by the navy chief according to the Fontanka news service.
Kremlin front man Dmitry Peskov said he wasn’t aware of the official’s comments but said there was no indication the incident posed a broader threat. "As for the reactor, there are no problems with that," he said on a conference call.
Russia broke three days of secrecy July 4 and confirmed that the stricken underwater research vessel was nuclear-powered. Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu told President Vladimir Putin ...President-for-Life of Russia. He gets along well with other presidents for life. He is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substance. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to him. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substances... in a meeting shown on state TV that the nuclear reactor on board the vessel had been completely sealed off.

"The fake government has imposed restrictions on homemade meals for Nawaz Sharif. The staff who took his food has been waiting outside the jail for the last five hours," she said via a tweet.
"Mian sahab has refused to eat prison food. If they [the government] do not take back this restriction in the next 24 hours, then I will contact the court."
"If I don't get help from the court, then I will sit outside Kot Lakhpat jail. Even if I have to go on a hunger strike, I will do it," she warned in another tweet.
"I don't trust these oppressors; they can mix anything in Mian sahab's food," she said, adding her warning should not be considered a mere threat and that she would go through with it.
Later in the day, PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif also took to Twitter to condemn the restriction on homemade food for Nawaz Sharif.
He said Mian Nawaz Sharif is a heart patient and depriving him of homemade food is a grave oppression. He demanded the government to immediately ensure the provision of home-cooked meals to Nawaz.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Former Ottoman Turkish deputy prime minister Ali Babacan said on Monday he was resigning from President His Enormity, Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First ...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms. That's 968 more than in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really more important... ’s AK Party over "deep differences" with the party’s direction and said that The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire... needed a new vision.
Babacan, along with former president Abdullah Gul, plans to launch a rival political party this year, according to people familiar with the matter, in a move that could further erode support for Erdogan following a stinging electoral defeat in Istanbul last month.
In a statement that appeared to hint at the formation of the rival party, Babacan said it had become impossible to remain a member of the AK Party (AKP).
"Under the current conditions, Turkey needs a brand new vision for its future. There is a need for correct analyses in every area, newly developed strategies, plans and programs for our country," Babacan said.
"It has become inevitable to start a new effort for Turkey’s present and future. Many of my colleagues and I feel a great and historic responsibility towards this effort," he said, adding that he had submitted his resignation to the party.
Babacan served as economy and foreign minister in the first years of AKP government before becoming deputy prime minister, a role he held from 2009 to 2015. Gul was president from 2007 until 2014, when then-prime minister Erdogan moved to the presidency.

[ToloNews] An Afghan MP says time is needed to judge whether there is a change in the Taliban ...Arabic for students... ’s position.
Afghans who are attending the Intra-Afghan Dialogue Conference for Peace in Doha have said they have noted a significant change in the Taliban’s mindset towards some issues in society, such as freedom of speech, human rights One man's rights are another man's existential threat. , women’s employment, and their humanitarian rights, however, they said that the Taliban should demonstrate these changes practically.
"When the Taliban sit together around one table with the women who were not allowed to go out of their homes under Taliban rule [in Afghanistan] and were facing numerous problems, it shows a change. But today, this reflects a major change where the Taliban sit face-to-face and talk, but the time will prove what the Taliban will do in action," said Anarkali Honaryar, a delegate of the conference.
"I think we need time to judge whether there is a serious change in the Taliban. Unfortunately, a recent attack in Ghazni indicated that still there are serious issues when it comes to the interactions between the people and the Taliban. A recent incident in Ghazni showed that Taliban’s original ideas about the protection of lives of the civilians have not changed. Also on other fundamental issues, there is a need for more time to judge the Taliban," said Shah Gul Rezayee, a delegate of the conference.
There were severe restrictions on media, freedom of speech and women’s right to work and education when the hardline group was in power in 2001.
But the front man of the Taliban’s political office in Doha, Suhail Shaheen, said the Taliban will respect freedom of speech, women’s rights, and other human rights values within the framework of Islamic laws and principles.
"We agree with the freedom of the press within the structure of the Islamic principles. We want it and it is necessary for society, because media monitors the veins of society like a physician and then recommend them a solution, but freedom of the press should respect the faith and it should be used for the structure and construction of society not for destruction of individuals and society," he told TOLOnews. "Women have the right to get an education in line with the Islamic principles and media should be neutral."
Anwarulhaq Ahadi, an Afghan politician who has attended the conference, said he hopes that more discussions of this type will be held in the future to further facilitate direct talks between all warring parties.
"We pray that the rights which have been outlined in the history of Islam about women, particularly when it comes to freedom of the press. These are the issues which will be discussed in the talks," said Ahadi.
The first day of the meeting was focused on wide-ranging discussions about the women’s rights, the freedom of the press, civilians protection, ceasefire, foreign forces withdrawal, the post-peace deal government, and other relevant issues, according to few delegates interviewed by TOLOnews.
The delegates are expected to issue a joint statement at the end of the conference.

But the frontman CAIR of the Taliban’s political office
Seeing a change in fundamentalist Islamists towards women would be pure heresy thus completely unlikely if not impossible.
Sahih Muslim (4:1039) - "A'isha said [to Muhammad]: 'You have made us equal to the dogs and the asses'"
These are the words of Muhammad's favorite wife, complaining of the role assigned to women under Islam.
The revered Islamic scholar, al-Ghazali, who has been called 'the greatest Muslim after Muhammad,' writes that the role of a Muslim woman is to "stay at home and get on with her sewing. She should not go out often, she must not be well-informed, nor must she be communicative with her neighbors and only visit them when absolutely necessary; she should take care of her husband... and seek to satisfy him in everything... Her sole worry should be her virtue... She should be clean and ready to satisfy her husband's sexual needs at any moment."

[DW] Germany has rejected a US request for German ground troops to move into Syria.
German government spokesperson Steffen Seibert said on Monday that Germany would not increase its military presence in the country.
On Friday, the US had called for Germany to send ground troops into Syria.
"When I say that the government intends to continue with its ongoing measures in the framework of the anti-IS coalition, then that means no ground troops," Seibert said.
'SIGNIFICANT MILITARY CONTRIBUTION'
The German military currently provides reconnaissance jets, a refueling aircraft and other non-combat military assistance in the fight against IS.
Germany has "for years been making a significant and internationally acknowledged contribution" to fighting 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.... , Seibert said.
The US has called for Europe ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... an countries, including the UK, La Belle France and Germany, to pledge more support to the fight against Islamic State.
INCREASED GERMAN PRESENCE
The US special representative for Syria and the anti-Islamic State coalition, James Jeffrey, had told the German news agency dpa and newspaper Die Welt that he wanted "Germany to provide ground troops, partly to replace US soldiers."
He said on Sunday he hoped the Bundeswehr would support the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) by providing technical assistance and other expertise to them. The SDF are based in the north of the country and now face mounting pressure from The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor... During a visit to Iraq in June, Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said Germany would be ready to extend the mission beyond October, when it is due to expire. But it is the German parliament that will have to approve any extension of the mission beyond October 31.

[AnNahar] A suspected terrorist who tried to mow down cyclists and police with his car outside parliament in 2018 "intended to kill as many people as possible," a London court heard Monday.
Salih Khater
...a Sudanese known wolf who came to Britain in 2010 as an asylum seeker after spending two years in Libya, was expelled from university in 2017 and another course the year before, and was given British citizenship just weeks before deliberately driving into his new fellow citizens wth murderous intent...
launched a "premeditated and deliberate attack" when he steered the vehicle at his targets in Westminster last August, a prosecutor said at the start of his trial.
The Sudanese-born British national failed to hit anyone in the incident and ended up crashing the car into security barriers outside the Houses of Parliament.
"Using his car in the way that he did, driving in the manner and direction he did, the prosecution alleged that it is obvious that he intended to kill as many people as possible," Alison Morgan told the Old Bailey courtroom.
"His actions were not a mistake or as a result of some kind of mechanical error to his vehicle," the prosecutor added.
"They were deliberate and designed to cause maximum death and injury."
The reason for the 30-year-old's actions have remained unclear but the location and targeting of coppers suggested a "terrorist motive", according to Morgan.
However, denial ain't just a river in Egypt... the defendant is facing two counts of attempted murder and two alternative charges of attempting to cause grievous bodily harm, and not terrorism charges.
At the outset of the trial jurors watched CCTV footage of Khater driving his silver Ford Fiesta at cyclists before crashing into barriers protecting parliament as two uniformed coppers dived out of the way.
They heard Khater -- who was born in Sudan and granted asylum in Britannia in 2010 -- had driven around the area the previous night, before sleeping in his car nearby for several hours.
Morgan described how the defendant's mood had altered in the months before the attack, and that he had shown signs of "paranoia" about being the target of British intelligence services.
Khater, who lived in Birmingham, had also unsuccessfully applied for a fast-track British passport the day before the attack, she added.

Now, imagine the same news read out by Rowan Atkinson.
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] ISIS has re-emerged in Libya after a video released by the bully boy group showed masked button men pledging allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi south of the country, and vowing to carry out attacks against the Libyan National Army (LNA).
In the video, the button men are led by an ISIS commander named Mahmoud al-Baraasi, known as Abu Musab al-Libi, who is the former founder of the ISIS affiliate in Benghazi.
ISIS claims it killed and injured members of Khalifa Haftar ...Self-proclaimed Field Marshal, served in the Libyan army under Muammar Qadaffy, and took part in the coup that brought Qadaffy to power in 1969. He became a prisoner of war in Chad in 1987. While held prisoner, he and his fellow officers formed a group hoping to overthrow Qadaffy, so it's kind of hard to describe him as a Qadaffy holdover. He was released around 1990 in a deal with the United States government and spent nearly two decades in the United States, gaining US citizenship.

Qadafi rather easily controlled the traditional three regions of Libya: Tripolitania (west), Cyrenaica (east), and Sebha (south). With his demise no one has been able to control Sebha, and it is, for lack of other terms, a no-man's land. It will likely be the nexus from which the Al Qaeda makes its last stand in the Mahgrib after the battle for the north is settled.
[THEBAGHDADPOST] Wary representatives of Afghan society met Taliban ...Arabic for students... officials in Qatar ...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi... on Monday for a second day of talks, with bloody bully boy attacks back home casting a pall over efforts to end Afghanistan’s years of war.
The Taliban on Sunday detonated a boom-mobile outside a government security compound in central Afghanistan killing 14 people and wounding 180, including scores of children.
The attack came at the onset of a two-day meeting between Afghan citizens and the krazed killers, meant to open the way to a grinding of the peace processor that should build on a hoped-for deal between the United States and the Taliban to end the longest ever U.S. war.
"It is very hard to sit across from those men who are waging a war against innocent Afghans, but it is also a test of our commitment to peace," said a senior Afghan official involved in the talks.
The Taliban and U.S. officials are trying to strike a deal on a Taliban demand for the withdrawal of U.S. and other foreign forces and a U.S. demand that the Taliban not let Afghanistan be used as a base for terrorism.
"We think the gap between the U.S. and Taliban is narrow now. We hope both sides will reach an agreement this month about the outstanding issues," said Qatar’s lead mediator Mutlaq Bin Majid al-Qahtani.
U.S.-Taliban talks, the seventh since last year, are set to continue on Tuesday in Doha, as U.S. officials look to clinch a deal by September ahead of an expected Afghan presidential election.

The military on Monday uncovered a cross-border attack tunnel that entered Israeli territory from the 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... Strip, five years after the start of a 2014 operation aimed at finding and destroying such passages.
It was not immediately clear if the tunnel uncovered on Monday was newly dug or an older passage that had not yet been found by the IDF.
"At this time, IDF soldiers are conducting an investigation of the passage. More information will be provided shortly," the army said in a statement on Monday night.
A spokesperson for the Eshkol region, in which the tunnel was found, said the local government was in contact with the military about the matter.
"The tunnel does not represent a threat and it is being taken care of by the IDF," the regional council said in a message to residents.
The cross-border tunnel is the 18th discovered since the end of the 2014 war, according to Channel 12 news.
All sorts of interesting details about the construction at the link.
In addition to the underground barrier, the army also began construction earlier this year on a new metal fence, some six meters (26 feet) tall, as well as adding additional breakwaters on the coast around Gazoo and other protective measures in order to prevent infiltration into Israel from the sea, as occurred during the 2014 Gaza war.

[DAWN] A Sadiqabad-based taxi driver, who recently underwent treatment for health complications caused by obesity, passed away on Monday after he was left unattended due to commotion in the intensive care unit (ICU) of a hospital in Lahore.
Noorul Hassan, weighing 330 kg, had made national headlines last month when he was air lifted on a Pakistain Army helicopter to Lahore for treatment on special directives from Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa.
According to 55-year-old Noor's doctor, Dr Maazul Hassan, a top laparoscopic surgeon in Lahore, a female patient had passed away at the Shalamar Hospital today after which her relatives reached the hospital and expressed concern about her death.
In the chaos that ensued, Noor and a second patient died "due to the unavailability of staff", Dr Maaz said while speaking to DawnNewsTV. He added that the relatives of the female patient had not intended to cause the deaths but the situation worsened due to the violence.
Additional medical superintendents (AMS) Dr Rizwan and Dr Nayar said that relatives of the female patient had broken windows, switched ventilators off and hit doctors. They added that nurses had left the ICU during the commotion.
A spokesperson for the hospital said that they were investigating the incident and needed to look at CCTV footage. The spokesperson said that chaos had broken out in the hospital during which everyone was trying to save themselves.
Dr Maaz said that he was not present in the hospital during the episode but was told that "a lot of damage" had been caused.
He explained that while the chaos was taking place, Noor was feeling unwell and was left unattended for nearly an hour.
"When they (hospital staff) noted this, they attempted to resuscitate him but were unable to successfully to do so," Dr Maaz said.
"You can't directly blame anyone but staff should have been present," he said.
A spokesperson for the Punjab 1.) Little Orphan Annie's bodyguard
2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers
3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots.... Healthcare Commission confirmed the deaths while announcing that a three-member committee had been formed that had started investigations.
Dr Maaz said that just yesterday, Noor's family had shared the positive progress his health had made. He said that the patient had been kept on elective ventilation after he experienced breathing problems so that he could be discharged after six or seven days.
He said that Noor's death had occurred at 8:15am.
Noor's son said that doctors were not responsible for his father's death. He said that Noor was to be removed from the ventilator today. His wife added that doctors had said that her husband had suffered a heart attack.
Noor ‐ a resident of Mohallah Islampura in Sadiqabad ‐ had appealed to Gen Bajwa on social media to take notice of his predicament and assist him in seeking treatment.
Sadiqabad Assistant Commissioner Kashif Dogar had told Dawn that Noor could not travel in an ambulance by road due to his weight and that he was a poor taxi driver who resided in a small house.
During the process of shifting him, Rescue 1122 personnel had broken the main door and wall of Hassan's house to bring him out. Dogar said the rescue team had shifted Hassan onto a mini truck and transported him to a football ground in Sadiqabad where a helipad was fashioned for the air ambulance's landing.

he was air lifted on a Pakistain Army helicopter to Lahore for treatment on special directives from Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa.
Broke down walls, used football grounds, sent in helicopters, and attended to by 'top experts'. Then dies due to attention denied because of a brawl. Overweight (well fed), taxi driver. Whoa ! This guy was like a microcosm of Pakistan itself.
[ToloNews] Interior Ministry’s front man says terrorist groups are trained and equipped in Pakistain and are sent to Afghanistan.
Afghan security agencies have rejected reports by Indian media which say the Pakistain-based Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) terrorist group has relocated its training camps to Afghanistan.
The officials said that the terrorists' hideouts are all located in Pakistain and are supported there.
Hindustan Times reported on July 7 that India’s diplomatic missions and offices in Kabul and Kandahar have been put on high alert after intelligence inputs indicated that cadre of two terror groups, Jaish-e-Mohammed and Lashkar-e-Taiba ...the Army of the Pure, an Ahl-e-Hadith terror organization founded by Hafiz Saeed. LeT masquerades behind the Jamaat-ud-Dawa facade within Pakistain and periodically blows things up and kills people in India. Despite the fact that it is banned, always an interesting concept in Pakistain, the organization remains an blatant tool and perhaps an arm of the ISI... , have shifted to Afghanistan.
Indian Air Force (IAF) Mirage jets attacked JeM’s Balakot terror camp at Manshera in Pakistain, retaliating to the February 14 attack by a Jaish suicide-bomber on a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) convoy in Pulwama, Jammu and Kashmire, the report said.
According to documents reviewed by Hindustan Times, both the Pakistain-based proscribed groups have joined hands with the Afghan Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... and Afghan bad boy group, Haqqani Network, across the Durand Line that separates Pakistain from Afghanistan, for training their krazed killer cadre in subversive activity. It is perhaps due to this reason that the Modi government has not taken at face value the action taken by Pakistain’s Imran Khan ... aka The Great Khan, who ain't the sharpest bulb on the national tree... government on July 1-2 on 15 over-ground LeT leaders and five charity organizations linked to terror funding.
"The terrorists’ hideouts and terrorist networks enjoy safety inside the Pak soil and its very clear," the Interior Ministry’s front man Nusrat Rahimi told TOLOnews on Monday.
"Terrorists’ leadership have safety in Pakistain and it is very clear. Members of terrorist networks are funded in Pakistain, equipped and trained there and are being sent to Afghanistan for terrorist activities," he added.
Indian security agencies believe that the terrorist cadre’s shift to across the Durand Line has been done to avoid black-listing of Pakistain by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) in its Gay Paree conference later this year. The multilateral body formed to crack down on cross-border money laundering and terror financing has been extremely critical of Pakistain and placed it on a greylist.
"When we talk about foreign intelligence agencies in Afghanistan, each one of them is pursuing their own interests in the country," said Basir Ahmad Yusufi, a political analyst in Kabul.
The Indian embassy in Kabul has not commented on the reports.
On February 25, For the first time in five decades, Indian warplanes crossed into Pak territory and conducted Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s on the bad boy group’s training camp. The airstrikes followed a deadly attack on a convoy of Indian army personnel in Indian-controlled Kashmire in which 40 officers were killed.
The deputy head of Sudan’s Transitional Military Council, Gen. Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, denied reports of a rift with the country’s umbrella alliance of opposition groups and said that he “does not want to be president.”https://t.co/NiDkGBcCTy

[AnNahar] The United Arab Emirates said on Monday it was reducing the number of troops in war-torn 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... and moving from a "military-first" strategy to a "peace-first" plan.
"We do have troop levels that are down for reasons that are strategic in (the Red Sea city of) Hodeida and reasons that are tactical" in other parts of the country, a senior UAE official told news hounds.
"It is very much to do with moving from what I would call a military-first strategy to a peace-first strategy, and this is I think what we are doing."
UAE troops fighting as part of a Saudi-led military coalition against the Iran-aligned Iran's Houthi sock puppets ...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 legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. 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 They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him... s have "totally vacated" the military base in Khokha, about 130 kilometers (80 miles) south of Hodeida, a Yemeni government official told AFP on Monday.
He added that the UAE withdrew part of its heavy artillery from Khokha but was -- along with the Saudi-led coalition and the government -- still overseeing the military situation in Yemen's western coast.
The Yemeni official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, also said UAE troops vacated a military post in Sarwah, west of Marib province, and pulled back the Patriot missile system from the area.
[NYPOST] A cringeworthy copycat inspired by a viral video showing a teen licking a tub of ice cream before putting it back on the shelf has been arrested for a similar stunt, Louisiana police said.
Lenise Lloyd Martin III, 36, was arrested by Assumption Gay Pareeh sheriff’s deputies on Saturday after being filmed opening a carton of Blue Bell ice cream from a freezer, licking it, poking his finger into the frozen treat and putting it back on a shelf, WAFB reports.
A 13-second clip shows a smiling Martin playfully looking around after taking his first unauthorized taste as a child walks behind him and appears to turn around. Martin then sneaks a second lick after jabbing his finger into the ice cream and looking into the camera before placing it back into a freezer, video shows.
"We discourage anyone from copying this atrocious act," a sheriff’s office front man told the station. "It is illegal. It’s a health risk to others. We will pursue anyone we see do this. You will be charged."
Martin was arrested after deputies found evidence that he posted video of his alleged unsanitary actions at a grocery store in Belle Rose, west of New Orleans, on Facebook, public information officer Lonny Cavalier told CNN.
Martin later showed detectives a receipt for the ice cream, suggesting that he ultimately paid for his contaminated confection ‐ but Cavalier said the purchase still did not clear him of wrongdoing.

Maybe its already been said; haven't seen it so apologies in advance, but I suspect the real reason the original ice cream kicker, she of minor age status was solely due to some testicular atrophy on the part of law enforcement who didn't want a Ferguson, V 2.0 to erupt.

The riverine Arabs and their army myrmidons are buying time and not about to give up power. As proved by the Revolution of 1989, the Umma Party of Sadiq al-Mahdi doesn't stand a chance in the face of military resistance. The military will use the rest of the year to clear out the dead wood, exile the most egregious corruptocrats in the government and the military, and they will take charge as the common lethargy will return to Kharoum/Omdurman.
[THEBAGHDADPOST] A US-led coalition Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... killed three ISIS murderous Moslems in the northern Iraqi province of Kirkuk on Sunday, while a civilian was killed and two others maimed in attacks in the eastern province of Diyala.

The airstrike resulted in the destruction of the hideout, the statement added.

[IsraelTimes] A high school in Boca Raton, Florida, removed a principal who told a parent that he needed to remain neutral on whether or not the Holocaust occurred.
The Palm Beach County School District said in a statement Monday that it was aware of remarks made by William Latson in 2018 and had instructed him to expand Holocaust curriculum at Spanish River Community High School and spend time at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.
"Despite these efforts, his leadership has become a major distraction for the school community. It is, therefore, in the best interest of students and the larger school community to reassign Mr. Latson to a District position," the school district said in a statement on Monday.
In an email exchange a year ago, in response to a parent who asked how the Holocaust is being taught at the public school, Latson responded that "I can’t say the Holocaust is a factual, historical event because I am not in the position to do so as a school district employee."
Latson’s comments drew wide media coverage after The Palm Beach Post reported on them on Friday.
The school, which has about 2,500 students, is said to have one of the largest Jewish student populations in the county, according to the report.
Latson, who had his job since 2011, apologized in a statement to the Post, saying his email "did not accurately reflect my professional and personal commitment to educating all students about the atrocities of the Holocaust."
I actually think William Latson's attitude is the correct one as not deciding the authoritativeness of events and leaving it up to pupils to learn how to decide.

Alan C is spot on. I recently watched "D-Day to Berlin", a documentary from personal home movies made by George Stevens as his Army photographic unit followed the troops across Europe. He used his personal camera and color 16 mm Kodachrome, so you see it as it really was. They were present at the liberation of a concentration camp. Thinking about the images now makes me choke up. Every high schooler should have to watch it. Highly recommended.
