CBS News Bans Reporters From Using the Word 'Transgender' To Describe Transgender Nashville Shooter
[REDSTATE] The tragic shootings in Tennessee this week have unsurprisingly brought out the worst in progressive media. Although three of the victims were children, a fact that should dominate the coverage of such a terrible crime, mainstream outlets have spent an inordinate amount of time lamenting the "increased danger" to transgender
...mutton, dressed up as pork...
An inspired auto-translate, Fred!
people after learning the shooter identified as transgender.

Now comes word that one outlet actually went so far as to ban news hounds from using the term "transgender" to describe the transgender shooter.

In an exclusive report on Thursday, The New York Post revealed CBS News executives sent out a memo demanding staff purposefully ignore the shooter’s gender identity, even though police indicated her transgender identity was most likely a motivating factor in the shooting spree.

"The shooter’s gender identity has not been confirmed by CBS News," the network’s executives insisted in a Tuesday memo obtained by The Post. "As such, we should avoid any mention of it as it has no known relevance to the crime. Should that change, we can and will revisit."

It should be noted that this is not the standard CBS or any other outlet has ever held in the past when reporting mass murder events. It is typical for mainstream outlets to throw motives and accusations around quite salaciously in the hours following tragedies like the one that unfolded in Tennessee. Sometimes they have even go so far as to highlight the social media of an alleged spree killer, only to later to discover they had identified the wrong person, but far too late to spare the innocent person some very scarring public attention. Suddenly they have a desire to wait for confirmation?

Executives told staff the transgender angle had "no known relevance" but that is completely untrue.

These are the same news industry agents who immediately scour the social media of any white man involved in a mass murder event in order to find out how he votes, in the attempt to link conservative politics to murder.

..."Those edits weren’t just made for promotional purposes. They were cuts all made during a single question. Why? Because Fetterman takes time to read his monitor and often loses his train of thought. CBS News, instead of being honest with its audience, is trying to hide that fact."

Girls Seek to Study Abroad as Universities Remain Closed to Females
[ToloNews] Female students said they are seeking education overseas after universities were closed to females.

The students said that they have applied for scholarships abroad for virtual and campus institutions but now are facing problems in traveling due to a lack of a male to accompany them.

The Islamic Emirate has announced that no female can travel without an accompanying male

"There are some scholarships that the female students can apply for, but, unfortunately, the Islamic Emirate imposed restrictions on traveling without an accompanying male," said Azada Bakhshi, a student.

Somalia Saps Al-Shabab Finances as military makes gains – minister
[ShabelleMedia] The Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Information of the Federal Government of Somalia, Abdirahman Yusuf Aladala gave details of the achievements in the economic war against al-Shabaab
...... an Islamic infestation centering on Somalia attempting to metastasize into Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, and similar places, all ofwhich have enough problems without them...
Speaking at a presser on Thursday, the minister said that the financial system of al-Shabaab has been completely crippled by new measures taken by the government.

Al-Shabaab receives money and goods imported at Mogadishu seaport, businesses, real estate, vehicles passing through its stronghold areas as well as livestock and agriculture.

"The extortion that al-Shabaab used to collect from Somali citizens from the ports and airports has been terminated," said Deputy Minister of Information Abdirahman Aladala.

He also stated that the government succeeded in halving the group’s annual and monthly income after blocking the accounts at banks and the mobile money system in Somalia.

"15 vehicles used by al-Shabaab to collect funds were seized, and 20 leaders who were in charge of collecting funds were killed," said the Minister without providing further details.

Al-Adala’s remarks come after the Somali forces have taken control of dozens of areas in Hirshabelle, South West, Galmudug
...a semiautonomous region in central Somalia, bordering Puntland on the north. Galmudug is not trying to obtain international recognition as a separate nation, but rather considers itself autonomous within the larger Somali federalism, for what that's worth...

In 2022, a Mogadishu-based security Institute said al-Shabaab’s tax collectors were bringing in an estimated $15 million per month, making the wealthiest al-Qaeda affiliate.

Europe
Suspects in alleged Iranian plot to target Chabad house remanded into custody
[IsraelTimes] Lawyer for pair admits one of his clients took videos of the Jewish center in Greek capital but says later decided not to carry out Passover attack

Two men accused of planning a Passover attack on a Jewish center in central Athens appeared in court Friday to answer to terrorism charges and were ordered to remain in pre-trial detention, authorities said.

Greek officials announced the suspects’ arrests earlier this week and described the Iran-born men, aged 29 and 27, as being of Pak origin.

They are charged with participation in a terrorist organization, a crime that carries a possible life sentence.

Police alleged they were planning to attack the Chabad of Athens center, which is part of Judaism’s international Chabad-Lubavitch movement. The center hosts religious services, as well as a kosher restaurant and grocery.

Passover, one of the most important Jewish holidays, starts next Wednesday at sundown.

Investigators are trying to determine whether the suspects were planning attacks at other locations. Police have searched multiple sites in Athens as well as in southern Greece and on the western island of Zakynthos.

The two men appeared before a public prosecutor, who ordered their detention in prison pending trial.

A third man, who is not in Greece, is wanted for questioning and has been charged with terrorism-related offenses in absentia.

Israel has thanked the Greek government for its response and said that its national intelligence agency, Mossad, had provided information about the suspects, including that they were part of an Iranian terror network.

Iran’s embassy in Greece has denied any connection to the alleged plot.

A Greek lawyer representing the two suspects told news hounds after Friday’s hearing that one of the men had agreed to take videos of the Jewish center using his cell phone but had decided not to go through with the attack.

"My client believed that the third man, who has not been arrested, was in a position to threaten him and carry out criminal acts against him and members of his family," lawyer Iraklis Stavaris said.

"He acknowledges the part that was an attempt: meaning that he went and checked out the location, the scene where the crime would be committed, and he withdrew. He saw that the operation would not be easy and would have consequences."

Afghans Discover They’re Not the Preferred Refugees for Germany
[WhoWhatWhy] When the West pulled its last troops out of Afghanistan during the summer of 2021, Ali was working as a human rights
...which often include carefully measured allowances of freedom at the convenience of the state...
defender in Kabul. Almost immediately after the Taliban
...Arabic for students...
seized control of the country, airports filled with people looking for any way to flee from the new regime. The job made Ali and his colleagues a target of the Taliban.

Help came in the form of a United States-based, nongovernmental organization, the Euphrates Institute, which organized a way out for 13 members of Ali’s team who wanted to escape the country.

They would be taken to Germany. But doing so meant leaving behind their lives and families, who, due to Germany’s strict asylum laws at the time, would not be able to leave with them.

After leaving Kabul, Ali and his colleagues were taken to neighboring 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...
, where they spent a week living in an airport before departing for Germany. There, they stayed for four days at Ramstein Air Base as German police checked their documents and belongings, ensuring that none of them brought weapons or were working for the Taliban in secret.

They settled in Germany, but it was nine months before they were able to work and study.

One year later, Ali still lives in a shelter with other Middle Eastern asylum-seekers. He says he’s one of the lucky ones; he knows countless others who are still waiting to receive legal status in Germany.

The bureaucracy became more complicated in the wake of Russia’s February 2022 invasion of Ukraine, when Germany began prioritizing the 1 million Ukrainian refugees that sought asylum there. The often strenuous application process for asylum in Germany was waived for all refugees coming from Ukraine: They could immediately work and apply for schooling.

Refugees from Afghanistan feel as though they have been cast aside.

"You see a racism, you see a discrimination in all the fields. I think that these were some of the points in terms of policy and structural discrimination in treating these refugee groups," said Ahmad, a source with ties to the German immigration agency. Ahmad’s last name has been withheld due to concerns about his career.

"I am not in this opinion to say that Ukrainian refugees should not be treated [well]. ... The other refugees should be treated as well as the others. You’re not treated like them ’cause you don’t look like them," he added.

The differences are stark. While Ukrainians are given automatic admission without a visa, Afghans must first be deemed "at risk" by Germany and only then can they apply for asylum, which can take months or years. Once in Germany, refugees from Afghanistan have little understanding of what to do next.

The living conditions for refugees vary from city to city. In the Thuringia region of Germany, Ahmed said 1,000 refugees live in various large buildings sectioned off into accommodations for two to four people, with one building dedicated for families. "The place is overfilled, social support [is] not enough, as there are few social workers, the food does not taste [good], and there are not any reasonable free time activities," he said.

Meanwhile in Berlin, Ali said that while some have buildings, he lives in a shipping container with makeshift rooms for him and three other refugees.

"In each container, there are two rooms, bathroom, toilet, kitchen, and hall together," he said. "There is a laundry room where everyone in the camp uses a common washing machine, which is very old, and the immigrants colonists wash everything in it, causing the machines to damage clothes. Sometimes people enter the camp and have part[ies] with their friends who [live] in the camp."

Ali’s colleague, Ehansullah, told WhoWhatWhy that after arriving in Germany, for "ten days we didn’t know about our situation, they just registered us as asylum seekers but as we heard we were supposed to receive humanitarian visas. They registered us as ’those people who came to Germany illegally.’"

WhoWhatWhy reached out to Germany’s Federal Office for Migration and Refugees about the allegations of differing treatment between refugees from Afghanistan and Ukraine. In an email, the office replied:

The asylum procedure is a case-by-case examination in which every flight story presented is carefully examined. It is always the individual flight story that is assessed. The origin from a certain country or a certain reason for fleeing does not automatically lead to a protection status or to the rejection of the asylum application.

During the personal interview, applicants have the opportunity to present their reasons for fleeing. On the basis of the presentation, the decision-maker examines what danger the asylum seeker faces in the event of a possible return to the country of origin and decides whether and which protection is to be granted or whether an asylum application is to be rejected.

These "examinations" leave applicants in legal limbo.

"When you don’t have a resident permit, when you don’t have papers, you feel very alone, and you don’t feel like you’re equal," said Ehansullah. "Other people can study, other people can go to the city, work. You don’t have rights here."

Ali points out that this insecurity has been disastrous for other Afghans. Ali knows of one man living in the refugee camp who killed himself. "Emotionally it’s so hard for people. A lot of people kill themself because of depression," he said.

In October, Germany announced a new program to take in 1,000 Afghans per month who are deemed "at risk." But many believe that the number is not high enough and that the country should do more.

"I’m in contact with people who are currently in danger in Afghanistan — my friends, family, and others," said Ahmad. "It feels very exhausting and disappointing because Germany has no attention to the plight of those people who are in danger because of the intervention of the West."

Fifth Column
'Trans Day of Vengeance' in DC is CANCELED
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] A transgender
...mutton, dressed up as pork...
self-proclaimed genius group has called off its planned 'Trans Day of Vengeance Rally' after warnings of a 'credible threat to life and safety'.

The rally was due to be held on Saturday in Washington D.C., but organizers of the Trans Radical self-proclaimed genius Network (TRAN) said Thursday that threats on social media have led them to make the decision to cancel the event.

The demonstration would have been held outside the Supreme Court but 'astronomical amounts of hate from the world' forced them to cancel, TRAN said.

The event comes days after transgender Nashville shooter Audrey Hale killed six people - including three children - at her former Christian school. The event was planned weeks before the shooting, and the group said it had nothing to do with the 'heinous act'.

The event initially caused outrage on social media, as Twitter removed thousands of tweets promoting and criticizing the event as they said ''vengeance' does not imply peaceful protest'.

India-Pakistan
TTP, Other Militant Groups Obtain US Arms Left Behind in Afghanistan
[KhaamaPress] Militants who conduct attacks inside Pakistain have accessed sophisticated US weapons left behind in Afghanistan, according to a US-based broadcasting company.

According to the reports released by Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, the influx of US weapons has increased the military capabilities of the banned Tehrik-e-Taliban
...the Pashtun equivalent of men...
Pakistain (TTP) and 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...
Liberation Army (BLA) groups to carry out terrorist attacks.

It is reported that the influx of advanced weapons from Afghanistan has caused an unprecedented level of violence in Pakistain in the past two years.

Following the withdrawal of American forces from Afghanistan in August 2021, it is believed the US left behind military equipment and weapons including firearms, armored vehicles and more worth around $7 billion.

Since the Afghan Taliban seized power in Afghanistan, some of the American military equipment and weapons had turned up in Pakistain and were used by the murderous Moslem groups to attack the Pak government, Radio liberty highlighted in its report.

"Militants picked up sophisticated weapons left behind by the Americans and waged war against the province’s police," Moazzam Jan Ansari, former police chief of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa had told journalists in November according to Radio Liberty.

The murderous Moslem group’s access to sophisticated weapons had given them the upper hand over the lesser-equipped police force in Pakistain, with a terrifying impact, according to a Sweden-based research organization.

During the past two years, Pakistain experienced the worst spell in terms of security in decades. The outlawed TTP and BLA have carried out attacks across Pakistain, targeting military personnel, coppers, ISI officials and even ordinary people.

Amid the political chaos, security remains a major for crisis-hit Pakistain. currently, the country’s military institutions are struggling to crash terrorist hideouts along the border with Afghanistan.

Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Over 100,000 hold Ramadan prayers on Temple Mount; security forces on alert
[IsraelTimes] 52,000 Paleostinians cross into Israel from West Bank for the second Friday prayers of the Moslem holy month; some worshipers seen chanting in support of Hamas, one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbund millipede,

Security forces were on alert in Jerusalem and the West Bank as tens of thousands of Moslems took part in mass prayers on the second Friday of Ramadan, including at the flashpoint al-Aqsa Mosque on the Temple Mount.

Border Police deployed 2,300 soldiers in Jerusalem and its surroundings and in the West Bank, the force said in a statement.

According to official estimates, over 100,000 people took part in the prayers on the Temple Mount, including some 52,000 Paleostinians who entered Israel from the West Bank.

The Moslem holy month, which began Thursday and will end April 21, often sees elevated Israeli-Paleostinian tensions, with frictions already high this year in Jerusalem and across the West Bank following months of deadly violence.

While there were no reports of violence at the Old City holy site, videos showed Paleostinian worshipers chanting their support for shadowy Hamas military wing chief Muhammad Deif during morning prayers at al-Aqsa Mosque.

For Paleostinian Moslems, worship at the mosque — the third-holiest site in Islam — is a central part of the festival. Jews revere the same site as the Temple Mount, the holiest site in Judaism as the location of the ancient Temples.

The military has eased some restrictions on movement for West Bank and Gazook Paleostinians to allow women, children and some men to pray there without permits.

Israel Police Commissioner Kobi Shabtai said the "relatively quiet" start to the holy month was owed to the professional work of security forces, after attending a security assessment with the Jerusalem District Police Commander Doron Turgeman at the Western Wall.

"It is necessary to continue smart operational readiness, and preserve the existing situation in the field as much as possible," Shabtai said.

Police said in a statement that there has been an uptick in incitement by terror organizations on social media, including efforts to falsely portray a danger to holy sites.

Police vowed to maintain freedom of worship and tackle "any attempt to use the month of Ramadan or the holy places to disrupt order, incite or support terrorism."

Earlier, Border Police head Amir Cohen toured the Tomb of the Patriarchs site in the West Bank city of Hebron and held a security assessment with senior officers responsible for the area.

"There is an excellent connection between Border Police officers and the IDF’s soldiers in the regional division. Successful cooperation goes on throughout the year in all challenging incidents in the sector," he said.

Cohen emphasized the role of the troops is to ensure freedom of worship for residents in the area, and said he expected personnel to act with "determination, professionalism and to a degree that is fitting to the situation."

Also, Paleostinian media reported that Thursday night Israeli forces fired tear gas into a soccer pitch during a match of the Yasser Arafat Cup, at al-Ram Stadium in the West Bank, near Ramallah.

According to the reports, at least three people were taken to a hospital in Ramallah for treatment, and the game was paused for over an hour.

The Border Police said in a statement that the canisters were not aimed at the stadium, but were part of activities aimed at putting down disturbances and infiltration attempts nearby.

Last Friday, prayers in Jerusalem passed without major incident, however, police detained one man suspected of incitement for hanging the banner of a terrorist organization at the complex.

Some officials have warned that this Ramadan may be the most difficult to handle in years, as tensions remained high amid a cycle of deadly Israeli raids in the West Bank and deadly Paleostinian terror attacks, as well as an uptick in settler violence.

Israel and the Paleostinian Authority have held two regional summits in the lead-up to Ramadan, where they committed to de-escalating tensions over the holy month.

#1  4 years ago, we were at the wailing wall on the first day of Ramadan We were carrying prayer papers for some of our friends in Florida. The soldiers kept a movable fence between the wailing wall and the entry to the Temple Mount. . After Prayers on the mount, the Muslims were ushered out with gates on each side of the passage. My wife and I walked down the narrow street along with the Muslims the women walked on one side and the men on the other. Very interesting day..

IDF to close off West Bank from Israel for Palestinians at start and end of Passover
[IsraelTimes] Closure is standard practice during Israeli festivals and holidays, which are seen as periods of increased tensions; Paleostinians still to be allowed in for Friday Ramadan prayers

The Israel Defense Forces on Friday announced it was imposing a closure on the West Bank, with crossing points closed to Paleostinians, on the first and last days of the upcoming Passover holiday. 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...
border crossings will also close.

The closure is set to begin on Wednesday, April 5 at 5 p.m. and last until Saturday, April 8 at 11:59 p.m. A second closure will begin on April 11 at 5 p.m. and last until April 12 at 11:59 p.m.

On Friday, April 7, some border crossings would reopen to allow Paleostinian worshipers from the West Bank to enter Jerusalem to pray at the al-Aqsa Mosque after the IDF eased entry restrictions for the holy Moslem month of Ramadan.

The IDF said border crossings for Paleostinians would reopen "subject to a situational assessment."

Other exceptions to the closures will be made for humanitarian and other outstanding cases, but will require the approval of the Defense Ministry’s liaison to the Paleostinians, known as the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT).

Such closures are standard practice during festivals and holidays. The military says they are a preventative measure against attacks in periods of increased tension.
