"At first glance, one might think that the chart is a flow chart - a closer look shows that while many of the boxes are linked by lines, almost none clarify the relationship or the flow of the information. Only the relationship between "Parap[sychological] facility] and "image maker" includes an arrow to show a flow of information from the facility to the image maker.
Several other boxes are completely isolated. Apparently "decision maker", "motor control" and "action" neither interact with or are dependent on parapsychology. Other boxes, like "rational logical adding", "symbol marker" and "formulating abstracting" are connected to each other, but never connect to the main chart.

Umm .... I've done briefings where I drew partial diagrams while talking to the connections. It's actually pretty common, and was more so when the medium was a transparency on an overhead projector and you reached down with a felt pen to draw as you talked.

What kind of society puts a male rapist in a women’s prison? In what nation would it be considered acceptable to put a man convicted of raping two girls into an enclosed space with hundreds of women? In Britain. In 2017.
Incredibly, Martin Ponting, who was sentenced to life in 1995 for the rape of two girls under the age of 16, was recently moved to the all-women prison of Bronzefield in Surrey because he now identifies as a woman and goes by the name of Jessica Winfield. He has now been segregated from the other prisoners at Bronzefield presumably for some serious misdemeanour. (For making advances to women, say sections of the press, though the prison authorities deny this.) To place a rapist among women because he claims to be a woman might prove to be the moment the cult of genderfludity crossed the line from irritating to psychotic.

The process of a man becoming a woman is fairly involved according to Stephen Katz.
It would seem that even after counseling, hormone treatment and surgery a transformed woman could still be sexually aggressive towards other women. I don't know since I'm flying blind here.

Israel and North Korea are on opposite sides of the Asian landmass, separated by 5,000 miles as the ICBM flies. But Israelis feels close to the nuclear standoff between Washington and Pyongyang. They have faced this sort of crisis before, and may again.
Some history: In the mid-1970s, it became clear to Israel that Iraq’s Saddam Hussein was working on acquiring nuclear weapons and missiles to deliver them. Saddam had already demonstrated an uninhibited brutality in dealing with his internal enemies and his neighbors. He aspired to be the leader of the Arab world. Defeating Israel was at the top of his to-do list.
After coming to office in 1977, Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin tried to convince the U.S. and Europe that Saddam was a clear and present danger to the Jewish state, and that action had to be taken. Begin was not taken seriously.
But Begin was serious, and in 1981 he decided that Israel would have to stop the Iraqi dictator all by itself. His political opponents, led by the estimable Shimon Peres, considered this to be dangerous folly. Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan, the legendary former military chief of staff, voted against unilateral action on the grounds that it would hurt Israel’s international standing. Defense Minister Ezer Weizmann, the former head of the air force (and Dayan’s brother-in-law) was also against a military option. He thought the mission would be unacceptably risky.
Begin had no military expertise. But his family had been wiped out in the Holocaust. He looked at Saddam, who was openly threating Israel, and saw Hitler. To Begin, sitting around hoping for the best was not a strategy; it was an invitation to aggression. If there was going to be a cost -- political, diplomatic, military -- better to pay before, not after, the Iraqis had the bomb.
In the summer of 1981, Begin gave the order. The Israeli air force destroyed the Osirak reactor. The United Nations Security Council condemned the attack. The Europeans went bonkers. The New York Times called it "inexcusable." But the Israeli prime minister wasn’t looking to be excused by the Times or the Europeans or even the usually friendly Ronald Reagan administration. He enunciated a simple rationale that would come to be known as the Begin Doctrine: Israel will not allow its avowed enemies to obtain the means of its destruction.
The wisdom of this doctrine became clear a decade later, during the Gulf War, when Saddam Hussein made good on his threat to fire Russian-made SCUD missiles at Israeli cities. The SCUDs landed, and caused some damage and a fair amount of panic, but they were not armed with unconventional warheads. Israel had taken that option off the table.
Similarly, in 2007, Israel confirmed what it had suspected for five years: Syria, with North Korean help, was trying to build a nuclear reactor. Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, a Begin disciple, sent Mossad chief Meir Dagan to Washington, to ask for American intervention. The CIA chief, Michael Hayden, agreed with Israel’s contention that Damascus (with Iranian financing) was constructing the reactor. But Hayden convinced President George W. Bush that bombing the site would result in all-out war, and who wants that?
Acting on its own, Israel destroyed the Syrian site (reportedly killing a group of North Korean experts in the process). Hayden was wrong about how Syria would react, as he later admitted. If Israel had been reasonable and listened to the CIA, Bashar al-Assad would have nuclear weapons right now. What's so reasonable about listening to CIA?
AUSTIN - UPDATE: KVUE's Jenni Lee has confirmed that Robert Ranco resigned after his tweet from Friday about Betsy DeVos received significant backlash.
Carlson Law Firm released the following statement to KVUE after Ranco's resignation:
For those of you who are wondering why this took so long, let me start by saying that this firm is a family and believe it's up to me to show the same loyalty that I ask of my people. I wasn't going to make a rash decision about a member of this family just to appease people on social media.
That said, I considered the health of everyone in our organization, promised my partners and my employees that we would act according to the values of our firm, and sat down to speak with Mr. Ranco.
In the end, we came to the same two conclusions:
With over 150 employees - 75% or whom are women - anyone in our company advocating or even expressing apathy towards sexual assault is affront to all victims and a line that simply cannot be uncrossed.
This has been an enormous distraction that has taken us away from the mission of our firm, which is to care for and help people.
Understanding and accepting this, Rob is taking full responsibility and choosing to resign.
As a man of faith, believer in forgiveness, and longtime friend, it is my sincere hope that Rob with learn from this experience and go on to have a very successful career.

[Ammoland] Speaker Paul Ryan will not allow Congressional action on national concealed carry reciprocity to move bills forward, Rep. Thomas Massie told host Mark Walters Thursday on Armed American Radio. The reason given is Ryan thinks the timing isn't right to consider H.R. 2909, the D.C. Personal Protection Reciprocity Act, a supplement to state reciprocity provisions of H.R. 38.
Massie went on to explain how he's seen "a lot of pro-gun bills being introduced but they were going nowhere." That's a common tactic among politicians happy to capitalize off good press they can showcase to their constituents while cynically understanding the bills are intended for that, not to actually be passed and to change anything.
"We've got over 80 cosponsors at this point," Massie told Walters when asked the status of his bill, which is currently and procedurally in the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform because Congress has oversight responsibility for Washington D.C. He's "pressing for a hearing on it." Tame Republicans. What are they good for?
The savage murder of a 71-year-old mayor shocked Belgium on Tuesday as authorities identified the body of Alfred Gadenne. A teenager has confessed to committing the crime as an act of revenge.
State prosecutors told Reuters news agency that the 18-year-old culprit had turned himself in to police at the crime scene.
According to public broadcaster RTBF, the suspect told police he murdered Gadenne because he blamed the mayor for his father's suicide two years ago after he lost his job at Mouscron's city hall.

I admit I haven't checked any other Websites for several hours, but when I did, of course, the name (or, as if often the case in Europe, first name and first initial of the last name) was not included in any of the accounts. That is, generally, very suspect as to the "who". But, not so sure in this case. Maybe "Ahmed M." didn't do it, but "Francois L." did. We shall see.
[Dhaka Tribune] Prime Minister the loathesome Sheikh Hasina ...Bangla dynastic politician and current Prime Minister of Bangladesh. She has been the President of the Bangla Awami League since the Lower Paleolithic. She is the eldest of five children of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the founding father of Bangla. Her party defeated the BNP-led Four-Party Alliance in the 2008 parliamentary elections. She has once before held the office, from 1996 to 2001, when she was defeated in a landslide. She and the head of the BNP, Khaleda Zia show such blind animosity toward each other that they are known as the Battling Begums.. has again urged Myanmar to take back the Rohingya people currently residing in Bangladesh, stressing that measures taken by the Bangladesh government to provide refuge to the Rohingya are temporary.
Speaking at parliament on Monday, the prime minister said: "Several times, I have requested Myanmar to repatriate the Rohingya as they are their nationals." She further added that she would raise the issue with the UN General Assembly.
"There are about 145 ethnic communities in Myanmar. The Myanmar government had given the Rohingya the same rights as other ethnic communities, but later the Myanmar junta hijacked their rights. I do not understand why the Myanmar government is doing this to the Rohingya," the prime minister said.
"I would like to ask the Myanmar government: What result do they expect after forcing the Rohingya people out of their homeland?"
Hasina also asked why Myanmar was not following the recommendations set by the Advisory Commission on Rakhine State led by Kofi Annan ...Ghanaian diplomat who served as the seventh and so far the worst Secretary-General of the UN. Annan and the UN were the co-recipients of the 2001 Nobel Peace Prize for something or other that probably sounded good at the time. In December 2004, reports surfaced that Kofi's son Kojo received payments from the Swiss company Cotecna, which had won a lucrative contract under the UN Oil-for-Food Program. Kofi Annan called for an investigation to look into the allegations, which stirred up the expected cesspool but couldn't seem to come up with enough evidence to indict Kofi himself, or even Kojo... , saying since Myanmar had created the problem, they also needed to resolve it.
She also urged the authorities concerned to swiftly locate and bring to justice those responsible for the attacks on border outposts on August 25 that led to the renewed violence against the minority Rohingya people in the Buddhist-majority Rakhine state.
The prime minister further assured that the Rohingya would not be obstructed from entering Bangladesh.
"We are providing food to 160 million people, we can manage food for an additional 700,000," she said at parliament.
However, some people cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go... she was also quick to clarify that she wished for them to return to their homeland.
"Myanmar has to consider the Rohingya Myanmar nationals. A Myanmar general called them Bangalis. Of course, they are Bangalis. But there are Bangalis in India, too. The measures we have taken to shelter the Rohingya are temporary. Myanmar must take back their nationals."

[RADIOSHABELLE] Somali government forces have regained control of a town on the border with Kenya after al-Shabaab ... an Islamic infestation centering on Somalia... bandidosforces of Evil stormed an army base there on Monday, causing heavy festivities in which at least 17 people died, the military said.
Islamist forces of Evil attacked the base at Balad Hawo early in the morning with a car suicide kaboom before entering the compound, both sides said.
"We were awoken by a suicide boom-mobile this morning and then fierce battle followed," Major Mohammed Abdullahi told Rooters from the town.
"We chased al-Shabaab out of the town," he said.
Al-Shabaab front man Abdiasis Abu Musab said the group’s fighters left the town after releasing 35 prisoners from the local jail. At least 30 soldiers were killed, he said.
According to the military official, at least 10 soldiers and seven al-Shabaab bandidosforces of Evil were killed, though the corpse count on both sides could still rise.
Formed in 2006, Al-Shabaab wants to topple the Western-backed government and impose its strict interpretation of Islam. Somalia has been at war since 1991 when clan-based warlords overthrew dictator Siad Barre and then turned on each other.
Al-Shabaab carry out frequent attacks on security and government targets, but also on civilians. They also target African Union ...a union consisting of 53 African states, most run by dictators of one flavor or another. The only all-African state not in the AU is Morocco. Established in 2002, the AU is the successor to the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), which was even less successful... peacekeeping troops.
Residents confirmed fighting had ended and that the bandidosforces of Evil had left the town.
"Now Balad Hawo is calm and government forces fully control it," Ahmed Hassan, a resident of the town told Rooters.
Hassan said he saw 13 bodies collected from the military base.

[NYPOST] A cybersecurity scientist has issued a bizarre warning that sex robots could one day rise up and kill their owners if hackers can get inside their heads. "Clarice 766! What are you doing?"
[Bzdeep!]
Last month, tech billionaire Elon Musk claimed that artificial intelligence could take over the planet, and he’s not the only one concerned about the dangers of killer tech. "Robot-does-not-touch-itself-there!"
With sex robots becoming increasingly popular and sophisticated, cybersecurity lecturer Dr. Nick Patterson revealed that the lifelike dolls could end up going all “Terminator” on us.
However, in the case of sex robots, the danger isn’t that the love dolls will end up developing minds of their own, “Westworld”-style.
Instead, the risk is that hackers could breach the realistic robots’ inner defenses and catch their owners with their pants down.
Patterson told Star Online that hacking into many modern-day robots, including sexbots, would be a piece of cake compared to more sophisticated gadgets like cellphones and computers.
The tech expert, from Australia’s Deakin University, said: “Hackers can hack into a robot or a robotic device and have full control of the connections, arms, legs and other attached tools like knives or welding devices.
“Once a robot is hacked, the hacker has full control and can issue instructions to the robot.”
The warning may sound a little far-fetched, but the robots run using an operating system just like a phone or PC.
And as with all devices, if that system is ever connected to the internet, then it becomes possible for hackers to break into it.
The cyber-defense guru added: “The last thing you want is for a hacker to have control over one of these robots.”
“Once hacked, they could absolutely be used to perform physical actions for an advantageous scenario or to cause damage.”
Or they could just incubate diseases when not cleaned properly. They don't have immune systems, after all.

Next you're going to say that someone like Microsoft would include Win10 in your regular Win7 update and force you to install their new system. Oh, wait, never mind.
[DAWN] IN the violence against civilians in the country, the repeated targeting of Hazaras in Balochistan ...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it... stands out as a particularly grim failure of the state. On Sunday, yet another family of the Shia community was targeted in Kuchlak as they were travelling to Quetta. Four individuals, including a child, were killed in the attack. What followed is also distressingly predictable: the assailants rode off on a cycle of violence unimpeded; security forces arrived at the scene after the gunnies had fled; and hasty search operations in the immediate aftermath of the killing failed to lead to the attackers. Meanwhile, ...back at the pond, the enormous newt was trying to decide if Gloria was edible... the Hazara people have been left to mourn more deaths in a seemingly never-ending descent into fear and terror. To be sure, the vast physical expanse of Balochistan and the sparse population of the province mean that protecting all the people all the time would challenge even the best-resourced, most-committed security forces in the world. But there have been several such incidents in Balochistan; they are clearly linked to a flawed security policy in the region and the failure of the politicianship. The Hazaras, as indeed the general population in Balochistan, will not be safe until the state changes its approach to security in the region.
Yet, delay in long-term changes should not stand in the way of short-term improvements where possible. The enemies of the Hazara people are a relatively narrow band of Death Eaters on the militancy spectrum. Among the groups likely to attack the Hazaras, active Death Eaters are estimated to be relatively small. So while there is no possibility of physically protecting every Hazara, the state can use its significant intelligence and security apparatuses to identify and progressively shut down groups targeting the community. Further, while the state has pointed repeatedly at external sponsors of militancy being responsible for terrorism in Balochistan, the networks used are invariably local. So is preventing violence against Hazaras not a priority for the state, or are lessons that ought to be learned not being learned because there is little accountability? Finally, the Balochistan government, weak and sidelined as it may be in security matters, needs to take a stand. When it comes to the Hazaras, there has long been a suspicion that the political class is indifferent to their plight. The provincial government needs to demonstrate empathy and concern for all its people.

Cuba's civil defence authorities said in a statement on Monday that the victims perished due to various causes such as accidents, collapsed buildings and not heeding orders to evacuate in the four provinces of Havana, Matanzas, Sancti spiritus and Ciego de Avila.
Irma, which was downgraded to a tropical storm on Monday, is centred about 170km north-northwest of Tampa area of Florida, with sustained winds of about 110km/h as of 9:00 am local time (13:00 GMT).

[Khaama (Afghanistan)] A suicide kaboom rocked Bagram district in northern Parwan province of Afghanistan this afternoon targeting a convoy of the foreign forces.
According to the local officials, the incident took place after a jacket wallah rammed a vehicle packed with explosives into the convoy of the American forces.
District administrative chief Abdul Shakoor Qudosi confirmed the incident and said preliminary reports indicate a number of civilians have sustained injuries in the attack.
He said there are no reports regarding the possible casualties of the American forces as there are fears that some of them have also sustained minor injuries.
In the meantime, another security official confirmed that three civilians were maimed in the attack and added that there are reports that two foreign soldiers have sustained injuries.
The Taliban ...Arabic for students... group grabbed credit behind the incident and claimed that dozens of American soldiers were killed or maimed in the attack.
This is not the first time the Taliban group claim of inflicting heavy casualties in attacks on Afghan or foreign forces as numerous such claims have proven to be false in the past.
This was the second attack in Bagram district in less than a week period and following the controversial air drop of the offensive anti-Taliban leaflets by the American forces.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] The Iranian repressive and sectarian regime against Sunnis in the country warns of an upcoming civil war, according to a recent reformist opposition report.
First published on amadnews site, which is allied with the opposition, the report reflects the Revolutionary Guards’ continued and escalating activity in predominantly Sunni areas.
It also noted that holy man’s activities and the Guard’s institutions are increasing in southern areas of the country, specifically in Sistan, Balochistan ...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it... and Khorasan provinces.
According to the report, among these activities are calls of a sectarian nature. The most recent event called for was Eid al-Ghadeer, a Shiite celebration. Sunnis see this form of celebration in their areas as a form of provocation.
The Iranian regime is also accused of working to eliminate Sunnis and disrupting development in their provinces.

[Iran Press TV] The UN’s human rights When they're defined by the state or an NGO they don't mean much... chief has called for urgent investigation into Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... ’s Arclight airstrikes against civilians in Yemen.
Zeid Ra’ad al-Hussein made the remarks during a Monday speech to the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva after the global body attributed over 5,000 civilian deaths to Saudi Arabian Arclight airstrikes.
"The minimal efforts made toward accountability over the past year are insufficient to respond to the gravity of the continuing and daily violations involved in this conflict," he said.
The latest call for an investigation was the third of such made by the UN's rights chief.
Last week, his office stressed that 47 countries on the Human Rights Council were not taking their responsibilities seriously, and called them to probe the "entirely man-made catastrophe."
On Friday, Human Rights Watch (HRW) lashed out at the Saudi-led coalition for its refusal to provide information on its role in the massive unlawful Arclight airstrikes against Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of. Except for a tiny handfull of Jews everthing there is very Islamic... in an attempt to avoid international legal liability.

[DAWN] DADU: The parents and a sister of the 19-year-old girl, Tania Khaskheli, who was murdered in their house on Saturday evening, have demanded arrest of the killers saying that police were not laying hands on them due to their political clout.
Speaking at a presser at the Bhan Syedabad Press Club on Sunday, Ghulam Qadir Khaskheli, his wife, Khursheed Begum, and their daughter, Eman Khaskheli, alleged that an influential wadera (feudal lord) of Jhangara Bajara town, Khan Noohani, along with his armed associates, barged into their house and rubbed out Tania on Saturday evening.
The girl’s parents claimed that Khan had been pressing them to marry Tania to him but they had turned down the proposal. They alleged that Khan had twice tried to kidnap her in the recent past. On Saturday evening, they claimed, Khan, along with Maula Bukhsh and an unknown person, barged into their house and terrified them with their weapons. They alleged that the gunnies tried to take away the girl but on strong resistance put up by the family, Khan got furious and rubbed out Tania.
The family said that an FIR against Khan Noohani, Maula Bukhsh and the unknown person was lodged at the Jhangara Bajara cop shoppe but the suspects were threatening them with dire consequences if the case was not withdrawn. They said police were not arresting the suspects due to their political influence.
The family appealed to the IGP and the higher authorities for protection and justice, and demanded immediate arrest of the killers.

[DAWN] SARGODHA: Cantonment police have started the paperwork but haven't done much else against 40 lawyers ‐ out of whom six have been nominated ‐ under various provisions of law, including Section 7 of Anti-Terrorism Act, for locking the assistant commissioner in her office.
DBA General Secretary Waseem Saleem Dogar asked the administration, particularly police, to refrain from the raids. He also warned that all the nominated lawyers will be present in the bar and if police dared to arrest them all the officers will be taken hostage.
Until Saturday night no first information report (FIR) had been registered against the lawyers as the local administration was allegedly avoiding confrontation with them apprehending resistance and protest by the community.
But on the directions of Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif ...Pak dynastic politician, brother of PM Nawaz Sharif, chief minister of Punjab... , the deputy commissioner directed police to register the case and also ordered their arrest.
A large number of lawyers had ransacked the court room and office of Assistant Commissioner (AC) Dr Anam Sajid and locked her up in her office on Saturday. She was later rescued by police. Sanaullah Khan, an official of the AC office, had lodged an FIR about the incident with Cantonment police.
The Sargodha district bar association (DBA) voiced concern over registration of the case and raiding of lawyers’ residences. DBA General Secretary Waseem Saleem Dogar asked the administration, particularly police, to refrain from the raids. He also warned that all the nominated lawyers will be present in the bar and if police dared to arrest them all the officers will be taken hostage.
Lawyers of Sargodha division have announced a strike from today (Monday) on the call of the DBA. Dogar said the district administration had filed the FIR despite negotiations with lawyers. He said they would protest until Dr Anam was transferred from Sargodha and the "false case" against them quashed.

[DAWN] VEHARI: The negligence of the class teacher and the hatred against Christians among a few class fellows killed Sheron Masih.
The mother of deceased Sheron Masih, Razia Bibi, wants action against the class teacher and the school headmaster, saying that their negligence claimed the life of her son, who was beaten by one of his class fellows on Aug 30 in the classroom of the Government MC High School, Burewala.
Sheron of, chak-461/EB, had been facing bullying and discrimination from some of the fellows from the day one in the school where he was admitted on Aug 28.
They would not allow him to use glass and watercooler in the class room because of his faith. She said Sheron would drink water only after the school and remain thirsty for hours in hot and humid weather. He had informed the class teacher, Nazir Mohal, about bullying but to no avail.
On Aug 30, Sheron attempted to drink water from the cooler but classmate Ahmed Raza stopped him with brutal thrashing. He soon collapsed. Teacher Mohal was not present at the time of the incident. The situation alarmed the class and four students rushed Sheron to the Burewala Tehsil Headquarters (THQ) hospital in a cycle of violence rickshaw where he was received deceased.
The security guard and the peon were also not present at main gate of the school when the boys were taking Sheron to the hospital.
Her mother says her son might be beaten in classroom at 11am, as he had been declared dead at the hospital at 12pm. School teachers arrived at the hospital at 1:30pm.
She says the teacher had been harsh to her son from the day one. The first day, he beat Sheron for not wearing school uniform.
She said the education department wanted to save the teacher. She appealed to the chief justice of Pakistain to provide justice to them.
School’s Senior Science Teacher Jawed Iqbal said that an inquiry had been launched into the incident.
He said had the students called Rescue 1122, the timely first aid would have saved Sheron.
He said both Sheron and Ahmed had not been enrolled in school on Aug 30. He denied the widespread hatred against Christians in the school, saying that about 100 Christian students were presently enrolled in the school.

[CNBC] Mexico has withdrawn its offer to aid victims of Hurricane Harvey in Texas due to demands on its emergency services from a massive earthquake that struck late last week, the foreign ministry said in a statement on Monday.
Mexico's government offered to send food, beds, generators, mobile kitchens as well as doctors after torrential rains from Harvey flooded vast parts of Houston.
But the earthquake that struck southern Mexico on Thursday killed at least 96 people and left some 2.5 million people in need of aid. Hurricane Katia also hit the Gulf state of Veracruz this weekend and heavy rains have stretched emergency services.
"Given these circumstance, the Mexican government will channel all available logistical support to serve the families and communities affected in the national territory," the foreign ministry statement said.
It's good the government is being realistic about limited resources, prioritizing its own citizenry instead of pride.

Mexico is facing a PR nightmare by walking away because a lot of the people who suffered the most due to Harvey are ethnic Mexicans. Many of the marginal properties that flooded were owned or rented by Mexican citizens. The viral video of men forming a human chain to rescue an elderly man? Those were Mexicans. Mexico is always publicly preening about its concern for the diaspora, but shows her true colors when times get tough. If we won't or can't deport the illegals, then they have to be assimilated.

SKorea is the size of Kansas, a quarter of the population of Mexico, lacking the blessings of a natural abundance of resources and arable land.

Wordy disquisition about Hamas being forced to dance to President Sisi's tune.
[AlAhram] A Hamas delegation arrived in Cairo earlier this week to resume talks which started in February regarding the the situation in the Gazoo Strip and bilateral relations with Egypt.
The delegation is led by the head of the political bureau of Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",, Ismail Haniyeh ...became Prime Minister after the legislative elections of 2006 which Hamas won. President Mahmoud Abbas dismissed Haniyeh from office on 14 June 2007 at the height of the Fatah-Hamas festivities, but Haniyeh did not acknowledge the decree and continues as the PM of Gazoo while Abbas maintains a separate PM in the West Bank... , in his first visit to Cairo since his election as the head of the group’s political bureau in May.

[Ynet] President Faure Gnassingbé, faced with a major protest for his resignation, announces indefinite postponement of Africa-Israel summit scheduled to take place in Lomé at the end of October.
Togo on Monday cancelled an upcoming Africa-Israel summit, citing lack of time to prepare, after days of anti-government protests targeting President Faure Gnassingbé.
The summit was due to have been held in the capital, Lome, late next month and was billed as a chance for closer cooperation in trade, security and diplomacy.
"The summit has indeed been postponed," a source at Togo's foreign ministry told AFP, confirming an earlier statement from his counterparts in Israel.
"No new date has been agreed yet," he added, without elaborating.
Israel's foreign ministry front man Emmanuel Nahshon said Gnassingbé himself had requested the event be pushed back after discussions with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
"The president of Togo has emphasized that elaborate preparations are needed in order to guarantee the success of the event," said Nahshon.
A number of African countries were reportedly threatening to boycott the October 23-27 event, in protest at Israel's conduct in the Paleostinian conflict.
Morocco's king Mohammed VI stayed away from a summit of the West African regional bloc ECOWAS in Liberia in June, because Netanyahu was invited.
The summit postponement also comes after Togo's opposition parties turned out in force in Lome and other cities across the country last week, calling for Gnassingbé to resign.
Opposition leaders on Monday called for another huge turn-out on Tuesday to demand constitutional reform outside parliament, were politicians were due to meet.
Further marches were scheduled for next Wednesday and Thursday.
Gnassingbe's government last week approved a draft bill for political change after protesters called for limits on presidential mandates and a two-round voting system.
The president has been in power since 2005, when he took over from his father, Gnassingbé Eyadéma, who ruled Togo for nearly 40 years.
Opposition parties have called the bill a "delaying tactic" and the government has since suggested it may not be discussed in full or approved on Tuesday.
Any amendment to the constitution requires the approval of four fifths of the national assembly.
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] One of the main organizers of the deadly attack on the VIP protection unit in Kabul has been killed during an operation of the Afghan cops.
The Ministry of Interior (MoI) in a statement confirmed the killing of the main terrorist leader involved in the attack.
The statement further added that the attack was plotted by a Haqqani network leader identified as Darya Khan who was killed in central Pashtun-infested Logar province late on Sunday night.
At least three other Haqqani network leaders identified as Abdul Rahman also famous as Omari who had arranged the logistics for the attack along with Qari Arashad and Mullah Haibatullah were also among those killed, MoI said.
The ministry of interior also added that the group was involved in other major attacks in Pashtun-infested Logar province besides organizing the attack in Pashtun-infested Logar province.

[IsraelTimes] Decision comes in response to Justice Department request to block lower court ruling allowing some 24,000 refugees to enter US
US Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy issued a temporary order on Monday allowing the Trump administration to maintain its restrictive policy on refugees for the time being.
The order was in response to the administration’s request for the high court to block a lower court ruling that could allow up to 24,000 refugees to enter the United States.
Kennedy ordered challengers to the administration’s refugee ban to submit written arguments in support of the lower court ruling by midday Tuesday.
The appellate ruling would allow refugees to enter the United States if a resettlement agency in the US had agreed to take them in. The ruling would have taken effect Tuesday without the high court’s intervention and could apply to up to 24,000 refugees.
The administration did not challenge the part of the ruling that applies to a temporary ban on visitors from six mostly Moslem countries. The appeals court ruled that grandparents and cousins of people already in the US cannot be excluded from the country under the travel ban.
The Supreme Court already has weighed in twice on lower court rulings striking down or limiting the travel and refugee bans, though it has to rule on their validity.
In June, the high court said the administration could not enforce the bans against people who have a "bona fide" relationship with people or entities in the United States. The justices declined to define the required relationships more precisely.
In July, the justices issued an order that temporarily allowed strict enforcement of the exclusion of refugees. But the Supreme Court refused to go along with the administration’s view that it could keep out grandparents, cousins and some other family members.
The 90-day travel ban affects visitors from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.
The high court is scheduled to hear arguments about the legality of the travel and refugee bans in October. By that point, the original 90-day travel ban will have lapsed and the 120-day refugee ban will have just a few weeks to run. The administration has yet to say whether it plans to renew the exclusions, expand them or make them permanent.
The administration told the court Monday that changing the way it enforces the policy on refugees would allow "admission of refugees who have no connection to the United States independent of the refugee-admission process itself."
It is necessary to keep both Egypt and Iran happy, so meaningless gestures must be made.
[Ynet] Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, says it is ready to talk reconciliation with the rival government of Paleostinian President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... without preconditions.
Hamas had previously demanded that Abbas halt a series of measures taken against the Islamic Lion of Islam group before sitting down to discuss a reconciliation deal.
Abbas cut electricity in Gazoo and slashed the salaries of tens of thousands of public servants in a bid to compel Hamas to dissolve a contentious committee it formed to run the territory in defiance of Abbas' government.
In a statement Monday following a meeting with Egyptian officials in Cairo, the group said it was prepared to dissolve the committee.
The rival Paleostinian factions split in 2007 when Hamas violently routed forces loyal to Abbas from Gazoo. Repeated attempts at reconciliation have since failed.
[DAWN] United States President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... on Monday paid tribute to the 2,977 people killed on September 11, 2001, warning that "savage killers" who threaten US will find no haven on earth.
On the 16th anniversary of the attacks, Trump's first as president, he observed a moment of silence at the White House before laying a wreath and delivering remarks at the Pentagon, where 184 people died.
His tone unbending and solemn, Trump championed America's resilience and "common bonds," but issued a stern warning to "enemies" that "America cannot be intimidated."
"Those who try will soon join the long list of vanquished enemies who dared to test our mettle," he said, as a drone of jet engines carried echoes of a day half a generation ago that many Americans have vowed not to forget.

[DisobedientMedia] Adam Carter has published a new article which states that important authorities including Robert Mueller and Jeff Sessions have been personally informed of the latest information debunking the Russian Hacking narrative. Pretended ignorance on the matter would be unacceptable.
Disobedient Media has previously reported on the extensive work conducted by the independent analyst known as Adam Carter. For months, Carter has been on the forefront of debunking the Russian hacking narrative by dismantling the Guccifer 2.0 persona and its contradictory claims. Carter’s work has been instrumental in creating the impetus and grounds for the analysis of the Forensicator, and in corroborating the efforts of Veteran Intelligence Professionals For Sanity (VIPS).
Carter published a new article earlier today, which indicated that authorities including Robert Mueller and Jeff Sessions have been informed of the latest findings and evidence which may dismantle the Russian hacking narrative by VIPS member Skip Folden.
Carter stated in his report: 'Since the original report was sent out, Skip Folden, one of the co-authors of the VIPS report, has sent a far more detailed report to the Office of Special Counsel (Robert Mueller), Office of the Attorney-General (Jeff Sessions) and, I believe more recently, to additional parties that will be disclosed in the week ahead (along with further details about the contents of that report). The new report covers more than any of the previous reports (going beyond what Forensicator and myself even have the means to assess).'

Hoe much did this circle jerk by the Donks cost the taxpayer? Has anyone added that up ? And does the Mainstream media look like a bunch of raving Loons? Or id that just my imagination. Is CNN and NBC "journalism" vindicated in any way? Is the NYTimes due for a Pulitzer for covering this scoop of total Bull sh*t ?
NOW you know WHY the the whole butt artist Democratic Party LOST THE ELECTION. And Hillary, oor old sagging Hillary..is she FINALLY done?
And is Nancy Pelosi SENILE. Enquiring Minds want to know.
Will Mueller finally go away or is that a proctoscope in his pants?

The players in this always knew it was a lie. They were just hoping to find enough coincidental elements to make the lie stick, thus a soft coup d'état without burning themselves on the stove.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] The United States’ State Department is said to be “taking very seriously” the allegations by two American students who have denounced two Italian police for sexual violence.
According to the US students, on Wednesday, September 6 night two Carabinieri officers offered them a lift home from a disco in Florence and then raped them in the building’s lift and stairway.
Diplomatic intervention has already been activated as the US consul-general in Florence, Benjamin V. Wohlauer, met with Florence police chief and with the Carabinieri provincial chiefs.
Italian Minister of Defense, Roberta Pinotti, defined the situation as of “extreme severity”, if the accusation of rape turns out to be true.

[Al Jazeera] ISIS fighters ambushed a police convoy in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula on Monday, killing 18 officers and wounding seven others in one of the deadliest attacks this year in the restive region.
Police and military officials said roadside kabooms destroyed and set ablaze four armoured vehicles and a fifth one carrying signal jamming equipment. The gunnies later opened fire with assault weapons and commandeered a police pick-up truck truck.
Among those killed were two police lieutenants. The maimed included a police brigadier general. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to brief media.

The attack took place about 30km west of el-Arish in northern Sinai, the epicentre of a long-running rebellion now led by an ISIS affiliate.
The Ministry of Interior confirmed in a statement that the attack on Monday took place and several coppers were killed or maimed. It did not provide any casualty figures.
[Bloomberg] The United Nations Security Council approved new sanctions aimed at punishing North Korea for its latest missile and nuclear tests after the U.S. dropped key demands in order to win support from Russia and China.
The 15-member Security Council passed the resolution unanimously Monday following a week of talks that began when Kim Jong Un's regime tested its most powerful nuclear bomb. The resolution seeks to cut imports of refined petroleum products to 2 million barrels a year, [two years ago, NKor imported about 4 million barrels - probably the Nkor military uses about at least 1 million barrels a year]
ban textile exports and give countries the ability to freeze assets of cargo ships whose operators don't agree to inspections on the high seas.
"We are acting in response to a dangerous new development," U.S. envoy Nikki Haley told the Security Council after the vote. "These are the strongest measures ever imposed on North Korea," she said, adding that the U.S. remains willing to act alone to stop Kim’s nuclear program if necessary.
While the U.S. can claim a victory in persuading Russia and China -- which hold veto power on the Security Council -- to agree to the restrictions, the result is less than Haley had sought when she pushed for a ban on oil and a freeze on Kim assets abroad...

[DAWN] Two copperswere maimed in Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... 's Rizvia Society on Monday when an unknown gunman opened fire on a police mobile during a security check.
Station House Officer Rizvia Arshad Janjua said an unknown armed motorcyclist fired at a police mobile during snap checking in Jahangirabad, injuring police constables Sirajuddin and Zeeshan Safdar, according to a police statement.
The injured coppers were shifted to a private hospital for treatment. Inspector General Police (IGP) Sindh A.D. Khawaja directed a senior superintendent of police to ensure the provision of the best possible medical care to the injured officers, the statement said.
The IGP also ordered police to initiate an investigation into the matter and bring the attacker to justice, and asked the deputy inspector general west to produce a detailed report following an inquiry into the attack.
No one has grabbed credit for the attack as yet. However, a woman is only as old as she admits... recent attacks on police personnel in Karachi have been linked to a newly-formed bad boy outfit called the Ansar-ul-Sharia which has carried out at least three attacks on targeting police officials and an ex-army officer in this city since April this year.
Sources claim the group has been targeting retired and serving officers of the law enforcement agencies to create a ’shock value’ as the victims appear to be a ’soft target’.

[AlAhram] Germany's government says two of its citizens have been detained in The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... in another indication of the risk Germans currently face when traveling to the country.
A Foreign Ministry front man says the couple, who are of Ottoman Turkish origin, were detained Sunday in Istanbul.
Martin Schaefer told news hounds Monday one person since been released, the other remains detained. German diplomats weren't officially informed by Ottoman Turkish authorities and Schaefer provided no details about the reasons for the detention. Several Germans currently face terrorism-related charges in Turkey, which Germany has protested as unfounded.
Referring to a travel warning issued Saturday by Turkey for Germany, citing increased right-wing and racist rhetoric before Germany's Sept. 24 election, Schaefer said Berlin wouldn't respond in kind because that would mean "allowing our travel advice to be abused for political purposes."

[Al Jazeera] An anti-corruption group says it has evidence linking Zimbabwe's ruling elite to "a decade of disappearing diamond wealth".
In a report published on Monday, London-based Global Witness accused Zimbabwe's Central Intelligence Organisation (CIO) spy agency of holding a concealed stake in Kusena Diamonds - a company active in the Marange diamond fields in eastern Zimbabwe.
The group's report, An Inside Job, suggests diamonds produced by the CIO-linked company were traded in Belgium's Antwerp and the UAE's Dubai - two of the world's leading precious stone marketplaces - and may have funded political repression.
The report accused "Zimbabwe's higly partisan and oppressive military" of having significant links to another Marange diamond company, Anjin.
The company sold diamonds in Antwerp on at least three occasions, the report said, "likely in violation of EU sanctions against the military company that holds significant stake in Anjin".
In a statement, the Antwerp World Diamond Centre denied on Monday that Zimbabwean diamonds sold by its auction in 2013 and 2014 breached European sanctions.
According to Global Witness' "mounting evidence", a 25 percent hidden stake in Mbada Diamonds - the largest diamond mining company in Zimbabwe - were owned by Robert Mhlanga, a retired member of Zimbabwe's security forces.

[STANDARD.CO.UK] Australians have been told to hunt and eat kangaroos after the population of the marsupial reached double that of humans.
New data shows the kangaroo population in Australia is close to hitting 50 million, while the human population stands at 24 million.
Experts are now warning Australians to hunt, eat and cull the native animal or face being overrun by it.
The kangaroo population has boomed in recent years, rising to 45 million last year from 27 million in 2010, news.com.au reported. The huge rise in kangaroo numbers is thought to be due to an abundance of food after high rainfall.

[Khaama (Afghanistan)] A female foreign aid worker has been rubbed out by gunnies in Mazar-e-Sharif city, the quiet provincial capital of Balkkh province in North of Afghanistan.
According to the local security officials, the incident took place around noon time in one of the health centers of the International Committee of the Red Thingy.
Provincial police front man Shirjan Durani confirmed the incident and said the female aid worker was rubbed out by two men who had visited the hospital for the treatment.
He said the two men who killed the female aid worker have been locked away Youse'll never take me alive coppers!... [BANG!]... Ow!... I quit! and are in jug of the police forces.
There are no reports available regarding the identity of the dear departed aid worker and the main motive behind the incident has not been ascertained so far.
... but gratitude was probably not it.
This comes as the anti-government armed Death Eaters carried out an attack on ICRC staff members in northern Jawzjan province nearly seven months ago.
The gunnies believed to be loyalists of the ISIS terrorist group also kidnapped a number of the ICRC staff member after the attack.
However, it was a brave man who first ate an oyster... the ICRC organization last week informed regarding the release of the hostages but provided no details regarding the circumstances surrounding their release.
A Spanish physiotherapist working for the Red Cross in northern Afghanistan was shot and killed Monday by a wheelchair-bound patient, in the latest attack on the international charity. The woman was shot inside the aid group's orthopaedic centre in the city of Mazar-i-Sharif, Thomas Glass, spokesman for the International Committee of the Red Cross, told AFP. The victim, who has not been identified, was taken to the NATO military base hospital at Camp Marmal where she died of her wounds.
Two people have been arrested over the deadly attack, including the 21-year-old shooter who police said was a "regular patient".
"He had hidden the pistol in his wheelchair which he used to shoot the victim," police spokesman Shir Jan Durrani told AFP.
Deputy police chief Abdul Razaq Qaderi said the man "opened fire on the doctor as soon as she entered the consultation room".

[AnNahar] Indian government forces killed two suspected rebels and captured one in Kashmire on Monday during a brief shootout, sparking protests by local civilians, police said.
Soldiers and special counterinsurgency police forces surrounded a neighborhood in Khudwani, a village in the south of Indian-administered Kashmire, after a tip-off about the presence of Death Eaters.
"Two Lions of Islam (were) killed in an encounter with police, army and CRPF (Central Reserve Police Force). One was tossed in the calaboose Youse'll never take me alive coppers!... [BANG!]... Ow!... I quit! ," a police statement said.
Police fired tear gas to disperse hundreds of local residents who erupted into the streets in support of the slain Lions of Islam and threw stones at government forces.
Both belonged to the region's largest rebel group, Hizbul Mujahideen ...Party of Holy Warriors, founded by Muhammad Ahsan Dar in September 1989. One of the Pak sock puppets waging jihad in Indian Kashmir. It was originally organized as the armed wing of Jamaat-e-Islami. In 1990, Dar declared Hizbul as the sword arm of Jamaat. Hizbul murdered many of the pro-independence intelligentsia in Kashmir. After the organization was taken over by Syed Salahuddin Dar and several other ex-Hizb leaders were assassinated between 2001 and 2003... , police said.
The shootout came a day after government forces killed two suspected rebels and captured another in the southern Shopian area after a day-long exchange of fire. Armed rebels are rarely captured alive.
More than 140 suspected Lions of Islam have been killed so far this year in the restive Kashmire valley, where India has deployed thousands of additional troops to hunt for anti-India rebels in an offensive dubbed "Operation Allout".
Hizbul Mujahideen is one of several rebel groups fighting the roughly 500,000 Indian soldiers deployed in the territory, demanding independence or a merger with Pakistain.
[Iran Press TV] Venezuela has denounced as "baseless" reports by the United Nations ...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks... on the country’s human rights ...which are usually entirely different from personal liberty... violations, saying the issue is being used as "a political weapon."
Venezuelan Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza, who was speaking at the United Nations Human Rights Council on Monday, said the UN reports were "riddled with lies."
"The strategy used against my country from certain centers of power is a clear example of the use of human rights as a political weapon," Arreaza told the council.
Venezuela’s foreign minister added that the recent reports by the UN rights office "have no methodological rigor, they are baseless and they are trying to upset our illusory sovereignty, peace and stability."
Arreaza made the remarks in response to a report published by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Ra'ad al-Hussein warning of possible "crimes against humanity" in Venezuela.

They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... members have performed a "farewell prayer" in Hawija, their stronghold in southwestern Kirkuk, ... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time... sources said, saying the incident comes as bandidosDeath Eaters prepare to flee before anticipated military operations to recapture the town.
A security source told Alsumaria News that a number of foreign members within the group, led by the so-called head of the "Jihadists Shura Council", performed the prayer at a mosque in central Hawija, before the leader directed them to "blew themselves up during the upcoming battles".
The leader also admitted the loss of the group’s domains in Hawija, according to the source.
The Iraqi government said late August that Hawija, which IS has held since 2014, was the next target of its operations against the krazed killer group. The government troops had, so far, recaptured djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... , IS’s former capital, and the town of Tal Afar, west of Mosul.
On Sunday, Dubai-based Al Arabiya network many of Islamic State’s big shots had fled Hawija along with their families. It also said more than 15 U.S. army vehicles deployed at al-Farraj, a region 90 kilometers southeast of Mosul on the borders with Kirkuk, preparing to back up Iraqi forces in their anticipated offensives.

[PoliticalPistachio] The horrors of a dystopian future have been laid out for us by science fiction writers, and history. However, time and time again we don't listen, and now our world is once again following the madness of collective promises that can only lead to communistic horror.
In his book 1984, George Orwell showed us a world where language becomes meaningless because of government's double-speak, and individualism is lost because of the rise of a collective society that uses technology to know our every move.
In This Perfect Day by Ira Levin the dystopia uses homogeneity to control the people, making them as alike as possible, using drugs to stop men from growing facial hair, and keeping the population as genderless and collective as possible.

Gibbs gets it. Statism, collectivism, socialism, globalism, political correctness and anyone who promotes this tyranny over the rights of the individual are the enemies.
#2
What is socialism beyond an update and re-naming of feudalism? At least with feudalism the hard guy who lived in the castle pretty much laid it out cut and dried. Now we have Orewellian speak where nothing actually means what they say. But for all the talk of justice the destination is just the same...a small coterie of super rich, super privileged, and above the Law and a vast, drone underclass without any available means to rise. Of course, comes the revolution, it will still be fun to see the excess numbers of Commisars getting the bad news.
#3
It's much more Brave New World than 1984, though there are elements of both, plus Animal Farm. We're seeing it in the raw now, where it was hidden before. The Alphas rule, the Betas carry carry out their will, and the Gammas on down work. Everybody who's anybody is drugged. Religion and monogamy have been abolished and sex is purely for pleasure.
Sound familiar?

You got that right. See, according to Cocteau's plan, I'm the enemy. Cause I like to think, I like to read. I'm into freedom of speech and freedom of choice. I'm the kind if guy who wants to sit in a greasy spoon and think, "Gee, should I have the T-bone steak or the jumbo rack of barbecued ribs with the side order of gravy fries?" I want high cholesterol. I want to eat bacon, butter and buckets of cheese, okay? I want to smoke a Cuban cigar the size of Cincinnati in a non-smoking section. I wanna run through the streets naked with green Jello all over my body reading Playboy magazine. Why? Because I suddenly might feel the need to. Okay, pal? I've seen the future, you know what it is? It's a 47-year-old virgin sittin' around in his beige pajamas, drinking a banana-broccoli shake singing "I'm an Oscar-Meyer Wiener". You wanna live on top, you gotta live Cocteau's way. What he wants, when he wants, how he wants. Your other choice: come down here, maybe starve to death.
[RADIOSHABELLE] A fierce shootout was reported between police and Al-Shabaab ... the personification of Somali state failure... gunnies in Mandera Town Monday morning.
Police say this followed a dawn attack in Bullahawa where several people ‐ including the attackers are believed to have been killed.
Mandera County Commissioner Fredrick Shisia said more security personnel had been deployed to secure the area but could not confirm if there were casualties so far.
Mandera has been a soft target of the Al-Shabaab gunnies due to its close proximity to the Somalia border, with dozens of attacks often launched against security forces.

[LATIMES] U.S. intelligence analysts have gained valuable insights into Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... ’s planning and personnel from a vast cache of digital data and other material recovered from bombed-out offices, abandoned laptops and the cellphones of dead fighters in recently liberated areas of Iraq and Syria.
In the most dramatic gain, U.S. officials over the last two months have added thousands of names of known or suspected Islamic State operatives to an international watch list used at airports and other border crossings. The Interpol database now contains about 19,000 names.
The intelligence haul ‐ the largest since U.S. forces entered the war in mid-2014 ‐ threatens to overwhelm already stretched counter-terrorism and law enforcement agencies in Europe, where Islamic State has grabbed credit for attacks in Gay Paree, London and Stockholm this year.
With the bad boy group’s army and self-declared caliphate fast shrinking, U.S. officials are concerned that foreign-born forces of Evil who once flocked to Iraq and Syria will try to escape before the U.S.-led coalition or other military forces can kill them.
U.S. officials over the last two months have added thousands of names of known or suspected Islamic State operatives to an international watch list used at airports and other border crossings. The Interpol database now contains about 19,000 names.
In recent weeks, U.S.-backed ground forces have sent an estimated 30 terabytes of data ‐ equal to nearly two years of nonstop video footage ‐ to the National Media Exploitation Center in Bethesda, Md., a little-known arm of the Pentagon’s Defense Intelligence Agency, according to officials who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the intelligence.
Analysts there are scrutinizing handwritten ledgers, computer spreadsheets, thumb drives, mobile phone memory cards and other materials for clues to terrorist cells or plots in Europe ...also known as Moslem Lebensraum... or elsewhere.
"The reason electronic exploitation is so critical is that enemy forces doesn't fake those records," an intelligence official said. "When you interrogate someone they can hide facts, but logs of phone calls and video clips don't lie. That stuff isn't made-up."
The material came from djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... , the myrmidons’ self-declared capital in Iraq, which was recaptured July 9 after an eight-month battle. Other intelligence was found in the Iraqi city of Tal Afar, which was retaken on Aug. 31, and from Raqqah, the group’s self-declared capital in Syria, where fighting is still underway.
"We've gotten significant amounts of intelligence as a result of the fall of these places ‐ much is still being analyzed," Defense Secretary James N. Mattis told The Times during a visit to Amman, Jordan, last month. "It has helped us to identify at least some of their aspirations."
U.S. officials said they have gleaned planning ideas and outlines of potential operations rather than ongoing terrorist plots. But they also have gathered details into the group’s leadership and the hierarchy of fighters under command.

[Iran Press TV] Bangladesh has agreed to free land for a new camp to shelter some of the hundreds of thousands of Rohingya Moslems who fled an escalation of violence in Myanmar.
Mohammed Shahriar Alam, a junior minister for foreign affairs, said in a Facebook post on Monday that Bangladeshi Prime Minister the loathesome Sheikh Hasina ...Bangla dynastic politician and current Prime Minister of Bangladesh. She has been the President of the Bangla Awami League since the Lower Paleolithic. She is the eldest of five children of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the founding father of Bangla. Her party defeated the BNP-led Four-Party Alliance in the 2008 parliamentary elections. She has once before held the office, from 1996 to 2001, when she was defeated in a landslide. She and the head of the BNP, Khaleda Zia show such blind animosity toward each other that they are known as the Battling Begums.. had offered 2,000 acres (810 hectares) near the existing camp of Kutupalong "to build temporary shelters for the Rohingya newcomers."
The Dhaka government would begin fingerprinting and registering the new arrivals on Monday, the minister added.
The Bangladeshi premier is scheduled to visit Rohingya refugees on Tuesday.
According to the United Nations ...aka the Oyster Bay Chowder and Marching Society... , the new camp will help relieve some pressure on existing settlements in the Bangladeshi border district of Cox’s Bazar.
"The two refugee camps we are in are beyond overcrowded," said UN refugee agency spokeswoman Vivian Tan, adding, "Tomorrow we are expecting an airlift of relief supplies for 20,000 people."
This comes as other new arrivals were being sheltered in schools, or were huddling in makeshift settlements with no toilets along roadsides and in open fields. Basic resources were scarce, including clean water food and medical aid.
Reporters say they have witnessed hundreds streaming through the border at Shah Puri Dwip on Monday.
Aid agencies have been overwhelmed by the influx of Rohingya Moslem refugees, many of whom are arriving hungry and traumatized after walking days through jungles or packing into rickety wooden boats in search of safety in Bangladesh.

[Iran Press TV] A series of mini or macro nuclear weapons were used to blow apart the Twin Towers from the top-down on September 11, 2001, says American scholar James Henry Fetzer, who has extensively researched the 9/11 attacks.
Fetzer, a retired professor at the University of Minnesota who currently resides in Madison, Wisconsin, made the remarks in a phone interview with Press TV on Monday while commenting on the sixteenth anniversary of the September 11 attacks that killed three thousand people in New York.
On Monday, US President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... presided over his first 9/11 commemoration in office. He and his wife, Melania, observed a solemn moment of silence at the White House and later at the Pentagon. Trump called the occasion "extraordinary."
"Our values will endure. Our people will thrive," Trump declared, speaking at the Pentagon.
"Our nation will prevail and the memory of our loved ones will never, ever die," continued Trump, who before becoming the president repeatedly questioned the official version of the 9/11 attacks.

[Iraq News] Thirty Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... women members had blew themselves up during battles with the group in western djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... , according to a senior Iraqi commander.
Twelve others had been enjugged Drop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try! recently and referred to justice, according to Sabah al-Noaman, spokesperson of the army’s Counter-Terrorism Service. He said those arrested lately included French, German, Chechnyan, Iranian, Moroccan and Tunisian nationals.
Noaman said that security forces had managed to convince only two women not to proceed with suicide kabooms, while attempts with the other 30 were futile.
Iraqi government forces recaptured western Mosul early July, consummating the takeover of the whole of Islamic State’s former capital after more than eight months of battles.
Iraqi military officials were recently quoted in news reports saying that more than 1300 women and kiddies of Islamic State fighters had surrendered to the troops in Tal Afar late August. The captives included Russian, Ottoman Turkish and central Asian nationals, according to the officials.
IS has notoriously relied on women members to act as vigilantes on civilian females at areas under their control and also as fighters on the field.
As U.S.-backed Iraqi operations realized victory in Mosul, many female holy warriors were believed to either have died or fled to other group strongholds in Iraq and Syria.

[Breitbart] Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, security forces have uncovered a number of bombs that were planted at the Ansar complex, the major Hamas "military" and security base in the center of Gazoo city, a local security source told Breitbart Jerusalem.
Until Hamas’ takeover of the Gazoo Strip, the Ansar center served as the largest security base of the Paleostinian Authority. In addition to bases for most of the Paleostinian security forces, there is also a prison facility in the compound. The site has been controlled by Hamas since the group took over the Strip.
The placement of the explosives at the site, said the source, came as a surprise to the heads of Hamas’ security services as the compound is tightly guarded due to the many security prisoners held inside, which include some suspected of cooperating with Israel and jihadist supporters of the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... The Hamas source said that the engineer unit of the compound’s security guards successfully dismantled the explosives, which were likely meant to destroy the center’s walls ahead of a possible raid to release those imprisoned.
The source noted that security camera footage of the site did not help in identifying any suspects who could be seen placing the explosives. The source added that suspicions are currently focused on jihadist organizations associated with the Islamic State, dozens of whose members have been imprisoned in the compound after being accused of firing rockets at Israel or trying to infiltrate Sinai to join IS fighters there.
The source also noted that the investigation is focusing on the possibility that the jihadists suspected of planting the explosives had help from Hamas security personnel, including employees of the Ansar center, due to ideological support for the jihadists and IS.
Meanwhile, ...back at the shootout, Butch shot Black Bart's knife out of his hand...... Hamas has continued to arrest hundreds of jihadists and holds them in its prison facilities. An extensive wave of arrests against the jihadists began last month after the death of a Hamas security officer in an suicide kaboom as he tried to stop two jihadists from infiltrating Sinai.
The discovery of the explosives at Ansar also comes as Hamas makes efforts to talk to senior holy mans and influencers from among the jihadists, including those imprisoned in the group’s facilities.
Breitbart Jerusalem reported that Hamas established a special committee comprised of the heads of its military wing and its senior holy mans in an attempt to negotiate with the influential holy mans among the jihadists in order to reach a solution to the crisis between the two sides.
