Ex-NFL star accuses Jews of sex trafficking and human sacrifice
Another Black Jew hater who believes Nation of Islam propaganda with all his heart.
[IsraelNationalNews] Larry Johnson, a former running back who played seven seasons for the Kansas City Chiefs, tweeted multiple times to his more than 147,000 followers over the weekend that a Jewish “cabal” is involved in “Human Trafficking, Sex Trafficking, Pedophilia, Ritualistic Child Torture, Perversion, Human Sacrifice/Murder.”

And on Monday, he showed no signs of apologizing.

Johnson framed one of those tweets as a response to Max Kellerman, the Jewish co-host of ESPN’s “First Take” show, who said on the air recently that “Jews do not have a plan for world domination.” Kellerman was responding to social media posts by another NFL star, DeSean Jackson, who last month posted a quote he attributed to Adolf Hitler accusing Jews of having a “plan for world domination.” Jackson subsequently removed the post and apologized.

On Saturday, Johnson posted a video of Alan Dershowitz speaking to the pro-Israel organization Stand With Us in which the attorney said, in part, “We have earned the right to influence public debate, we have earned the right to be heard.”

Johnson’s accompanying tweet accused Jews of seeking to conceal “a lucrative market in pedophilia, human trafficking, child sex trafficking & torture.”

On Monday, Johnson noted the attention his tweets had garnered, posting: “I angered ‘Rabbis’ from here to Israel.”

Johnson played for the Chiefs until 2009, when he was suspended for “conduct detrimental to the club” for a series of tweets using gay slurs. He was later waived by the team.

Since February, Johnson has hosted a podcast called “Sight to the Blind,” which its description says “explores the dark roots of our society and culture to expose deep secrets that remain untold,” according to the site StopAntiSemitism.org. Johnson frequently quotes Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, who has a long history of anti-Semitic comments.

An early July episode of the podcast is entitled “Anti-Semite.” The episode description reads: “This is not a war of races but a war of nations. If you don’t know who controls the propaganda in this war, how can you tell who is the real enemy? Those who are not a nation have conspired to keep the true nation of Israel asleep and will use race and Hollywood marriages like The Smiths to do it.”

Another podcast episode description reads, in part: “What is the true nation of Israel? Where does the bloodline really come from? What is Satan’s scheme in today’s world?”

Johnson’s tweets are still up as of Tuesday morning.

Who commits the most human sacrifice?
After birth: The urban black male (both perpetrator and victim).
Before Birth: Planned Parenthood (black unborn the largest aborted group)

Self reflection is not the strong suit of Mr. Johnson, nor that of his cohort.

#15  The amount of anti-black racism in this thread

Are you sure you know which posters are which race, Black Charlie Grundy3982? One must be careful with that — the very fair, blond, blue-eyed leader of trailing daughter #2’s Baha’i youth group, back when she was a youth, had the recessive appearance that showed up periodically in her African-American family. And of course there are the Rachel Dolezals of the world, who looked African-American but actually was 100% Swedish ancestry.

Don't like it? Then make the behaviors go away. It would be racist to ignore behaviors and withhold criticism based on race.

Afghanistan
Trump: Probably Below 5,000 Troops in Afghanistan by US Election
[ToloNews] The US will reduce its military presence in Afghanistan to about 4,000 troops "very soon," said 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...
, in an interview with Axios on HBO.

"We are largely out of Afghanistan," Trump said in an interview with the news website Axios which was filmed on Tuesday, July 28, and aired Monday, Aug. 3, on HBO.

"We'll be down in a very short period of time to 8,000, then we're going to be down to 4,000, we're negotiating right now," Trump said.

However,
death is not the end. There remains the litigation over the estate...
he did not specify any exact times.

Trump was asked about how many US troops will remain in Afghanistan on election day in November. He said that it would be "probably anywhere from four to five thousand."

The US-Taliban
...mindless ferocity in a turban...
agreement signed on February 29 calls for the US to withdraw troops from Afghanistan and it also called for the Afghan government to free 5,000 Taliban prisoners in return for the Taliban's release of up to 1,000 government detainees.

The Taliban has released around 1,000 detainees.

The Afghan government, under US pressure, has freed around 4,600 Taliban prisoners in accordance with a list provided by the Taliban, but has balked at releasing the remaining 400 prisoners on the list, saying these detainees have committed serious crimes.

The Afghan government is convening a consultative Loya Jirga, the grand assembly of Afghan elders and representatives, to find a consensus on the decision to release these 400 Taliban prisoners who are accused of crimes including murder, drug trafficking and abduction, a senior government official said on Monday.

At least 3,200 people will attend the Loya Jirga, according to presidential front man Sediq Sediqqi, who held a presser in Kabul on Monday.

...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...
, Suhail Shaheen, recently said that convening the Loya Jirga to decide the release of the 400 prisoners meant the continuation of the war.

Europe
French Holocaust denier Alain Soral arrested, his ally Dieudonne banned
From time to time they do something about the most egregious whippers-up of Jew hatred, but not about the increasingly unchecked anti-Jewish, anti-Christian, and anti-French behaviour at all levels of society, thanks to the increasing boldness of the colonizers they invited in.
[Jpost] Police in La Belle France have again arrested Alain Soral, one of the country’s most prominent purveyors of anti-Semitic sentiment.

Police in La Belle France have again arrested Alain Soral, one of the country’s most prominent purveyors of antisemitic sentiment.

Soral, who has previously been sentenced to prison for inciting racial hatred and denying the Holocaust was apprehended at his Gay Paree apartment on July 29 in connection with his website, "Equality and Reconciliation," Le Gay Pareeien reported. The website outlines conspiracy theories about how Jews exercise their power and calls for a revolution.

Separately, Facebook closed on Monday the Facebook page and Instagram account of Dieudonné M’bala M’bala,
...professional Cameroonian-French comedian whose given name means God-given, he invented the quenelle, intended as an inverted Nazi salute that for a while was all the rage in French selfies to show Joo hatred and thumb their noses as the mores of polite society. Periodically he is imprisoned in France and Belgium for pushing terrorism, the usual tropes of Joo hatred, and other related species of vileness, but there is a definite market for his type of humour. He likes to be photographed laughing with like-minded celebrities and national leaders...
a political ally and friend of Soral.

Soral’s arrest was over incitement to hatred against Jews and actions that "endanger the fundamental interests of the republic." People accused of publishing incitement and other non-violent mostly peaceful offenses involving racism and calls for insubordination rarely get arrested in La Belle France. But Soral has been multiple times, though he has so far avoided prison by appealing his convictions.

Both Soral and Dieudonné have gained attention for posting antisemitic content and receiving multiple convictions for incitement and Holocaust denial. Several weeks ago, YouTube deleted Dieudonné’s channel and videos.

The action against Soral, who along with Dieudonné founded the now defunct Anti-Zionist Party in La Belle France, reflects a growing willingness on the part of the judiciary to use force against purveyors of antisemitic sentiment.
Social networks, including YouTube, Twitter and Facebook, had for years resisted or ignored calls to deprive Soral and Dieudonné of a platform on those services, citing the firms’ commitment to free speech.

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Nasrallah threatened to blow up Israel with same chemicals as Beirut blast
[JPost] Hezbollah also sought to import ammonium nitrate via Syria through influence in Lebanon’s agriculture ministry

Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah threatened in the past to destroy Israel by causing a massive explosion in the port of Haifa using ammonia tanks that he said would be like a "nuclear" explosion. In addition Hezbollah allegedly sought to acquire ammonium nitrate via Syria since 2009 and tried to infiltrate the agriculture ministry in Lebanon to do so, according to leaked diplomatic cables.

The archival footage has been circulating in the wake of the massive explosion in Lebanon that killed more than 100 and injured 4,000 and has left hundreds missing. It illustrates Hezbollah’s terrorist strategy of targeting civilians for mass murder, despite the organization’s claim that it is "resisting" Israel by defending Lebanon.

A source quoted in a cache of leaked diplomatic cables and other reports noted that Hezbollah's supply of some explosive material had been cut off over the last decade. Hezbollah also allegedly sought to get the ammonium nitrate via Syria, bringing in thousands of tons of it from Homs. Hezbollah sought to dominate the agriculture ministry in Lebanon since 2009 to get a hold of the material.

In February 16, 2016 Nasrallah also said that ammonia is stored in Haifa and that there are 15,000 tonnes of gas Haifa and that explosions there might cause the deaths of tens of thousands of people. "the expert added that this is exactly like a nuclear bomb. In other words Lebanon has a nuclear bomb. This is not an exaggeration." Nasrallah laughs as he says this in the video, noting that Hezbollah refrained from striking the ammonia in the 2006 war.

Nasrallah told his audience that with several missiles his terror group could set off the ammonia with the same impact of a nuclear weapon. He said he had consulted experts and that 800,000 people would be affects and tens of thousands killed. In February 2017 he made another speech mentioning ammonia stored in Haifa. On Al-Mayadeen TV he said that a decision was made ‘several days ago that the ammonia storage tanks must be emptied." He claimed it was because the "resistance" had talked about the storage tanks.

Iran abducted California man while in Dubai, his family claims
[IsraelTimes] A Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,-based member of an Iranian krazed killer opposition group in exile was kidnapped by Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
while staying in Dubai, his family says.

The suspected cross-border abduction of Jamshid Sharmahd appears corroborated by mobile phone location data, shared by his family with The News Agency that Dare Not be Named, that suggests he was taken to neighboring Oman before heading to Iran.

Iran hasn’t said how it detained Sharmahd, though its announcement of the arrest came against the backdrop of covert actions conducted by Iran amid heightened tensions with the US over Tehran’s collapsing nuclear deal with world powers.

Iran accuses Sharmahd, 65, of Glendora, California of planning a 2008 attack on a mosque that killed 14 people and maimed over 200 others, as well as plotting other assaults through the little-known Kingdom Assembly of Iran and its Tondar krazed killer wing. It aired an interview of him on state television
... and if you can't believe state television who can you believe?
— footage that resembled many other suspected coerced confessions broadcast by the Iranian government in the last decade.

Syrian paper claims four killed by IDF Sunday were innocent civilians
[IsraelTimes] Syria’s al-Watan newspaper claims that the four people killed by the border fence in Sunday night’s security incident were "four citizens walking in the village close to the ceasefire zone, when they were targeted by Israeli shelling."

The Israeli army has said the four were gunnies who crossed the border and planted bombs to attack Israeli troops.

Local sources tells al-Watan that among the "deaders" was one Faisal al-Saeed, a local official in Syria’s ruling Ba’ath party.

Al-Watan is owned by Rami Makhlouf, formerly one of Syria’s richest men and a close confidant of President Bashar.
