Fred poked his head in the O-club on Monday to say hey.
He still is ill but is recovering. He wants to -- at least part time -- get back into Rantburg.
He hates to bleg, so I will. His coffers, his sole recompense for his efforts at Rantburg, is running low and are in need of replenishment.
At his last bleg he mentioned Zelle at his email address, and there is a Paypal link on the front page. If you ask real nice, he could provide a snail mail address for donations.
Rantburg will go on regardless, but your donations will help Fred with his expenses.
Update just after midnight on Sunday 13. March: I was distracted by that little excitement in Ukraine, and neglected to roll over the bleg since Wednesday. If you are able to give and have not yet, please help us help Fred keep this place going.
********, if you look in the yellow box on the right side of the main page you’ll see a link that says Email Me. Click on that and send Fred your email address – he’ll send you his mailing address in return.

So who is responsible for all this Russian FSB propaganda being placed on Rantburg in Fred's absence?
Maybe you don't understand the nice thing about Rantburg is that differing opinions are allowed as long as they remain civil. If you want political correctness, tune in to CBS News or The View.

[Garowe] al-Shabaab ...... the personification of Somali state failure... bully boyz have yet again struct in the republic of Kenya, amid ongoing crackdown within the East Africa nation, targeting the al-Qaeda linked group which controls large swathes of rural central and southern Somalia.
Media reports indicate the al-Shabaab fighters killed four construction workers, injured two in an attack in Lamu, Kenya on Friday. The coastal county has been a hot spot for the bully boyz due to its proximity to Somalia where the bully boyz have a huge base.
Local media reported that attackers also burnt two vehicles as they caused havoc across the village. Reports indicate that military manning the village were elsewhere for various operations when the bully boyz carried out the attack, leading to questions about the safety of locals.
Through proxy media sites, al-Shabaab grabbed credit for the attack, adding that it has killed six Kenyans and one Chinese in the attack which took place in the vicinity of Majengo, Lamu County. Chinese companies have lately been winning construction tenders in Kenya.
Kenya media reported one Chinese national was missing but no confirmation yet from Kenya police. It's the first time al-Shabaab is killing a foreign national within the county since 2020 when the bully boyz attacked the Manda Bay base controlled by US Africa Command.
Despite a number of security operations by Kenya aimed at clearing al-Shabaab from Boni Forest, the group’s Jaish Ayman unit continues to operate it. Unit commander Maalim Ayman was designated by the US for allegedly planning the Jan 2020 attack on Manda Bay which killed three Americans.
A report published by the Wall Street Journal claimed the US Africa Command soldiers manning Manda Bay were not adequately equipped to deal with immediate threats in the county. Five al-Shabaab turbans from different countries were killed during the attack.
The East African nation has been laying strategies to flush out the bully boyz who control huge swathes of rural central and southern Somalia. The US is also contemplating sending more troops to Somalia, over a year after the unprecedented exit.
Terrorists, locally known as bandits, on Thursday, invaded a mosque in the Giwa Local Government Area of Kaduna State.
According to the report, the bandits abducted about 14 persons in the attack and rustled an unspecified number of cattle from Tudun Amada village.
However, it is unclear if there were any casualties in the attack.
Eyewitness reports reveal that the heavy bandits divided themselves into groups; some were at the mosque while others moved from house to house abducting people.
Some of them rustled hundreds of cows, sheep, and goats.
About three weeks ago, bandits abducted the wives and four daughters of Mallam Ibrahim Tanko, the Ssrkin Hausawa of Anguwar Azara in Jere, along Abuja-Kaduna highway, Kaduna State.
The traditional ruler said the bandits, who wielded sophisticated weapons, invaded his house around 11:52pm on the day of the attack.
He said he managed to escape using one of the exit doors.
“It was after they searched and couldn’t see me that they went into a room where my daughters were sleeping and whisked four of them away at gunpoint,” he said.
The Sarkin Hausawa gave the names of his abducted daughters as Aisha Ibrahim, Farida Ibrahim, Zainab Ibrahim and Hussaina Ibrahim.
He said the bandits proceeded to a neighbour’s house and whisked away four residents alongside a nursing mother identified as Laraba Umar.
At least one trader has been reportedly killed and an unspecified number kidnapped when terrorists invaded a rural market in Chibani, a community in Munya Local Government Area of Niger State on Friday afternoon.
According to Daily Trust, the terrorists also reportedly invaded the Mararaban-Daudu community, also in the same local government and kidnapped residents.
A resident, Shehu Abubakar, said that the attackers launched the attack around 12pm when the market was filled to its capacity and operated for about three hours.
It was learnt that the terrorists carted away food items after the traders fled.
"We don’t know where many traders are right now because they haven’t started returning. A lot of goods were destroyed, apart from the ones they stole.
"Up till 5pm, traders had not gone back to the market to pick their goods. One person was killed and his remains taken to the police station at Sarkin Pawa,” he said.
The Arab Coalition has conducted 21 targeted strikes in Yemen’s Hajjah and Marib to deter the Iran-backed Houthi militia, the official Saudi Press Agency reported on Saturday.
The targeted strikes resulted in the destruction of 15 “military vehicles,” according to SPA, and caused casualties among the Houthis.
[CBSNEWS] 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... on Saturday executed 81 people convicted of crimes ranging from killings to belonging to bad boy groups — the largest known mass execution carried out in the kingdom in its modern history. Also known as: "Taking out the trash"
The executions carried out surpassed even the toll of a January 1980 mass execution for the 63 bully boyz convicted of seizing the Grand Mosque in Mecca in 1979, the worst-ever bad boy attack to target the kingdom and Islam's holiest site.
It wasn't clear why the kingdom choose Saturday for the executions, though they came as much of the world's attention remained focused on Russia's war on Ukraine. The number of death penalty cases being carried out in Saudi Arabia had dropped during the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague) ...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men... pandemic, though the kingdom continued to behead convicts under King Salman ...either the largest species of Pacific salmon or the current Sheikh of the Burnin' Sands, Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques and Lord of Most of the Arabians... and his assertive son, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ...Crown Prince and modernizer of Saudi Arabia as of 2016. The Turks hate him, so he must be all right, despite the occasional brutal murder of Qatar-owned journalists...
All had been "found guilty of committing multiple heinous crimes," the official Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported, saying they included convicts linked to the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... group, or to al-Qaeda, 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... ’s Iran's Houthi sock puppets ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him... rebel forces, or "other terrorist organizations."
They had been plotting attacks on vital economic sites, or had targeted or had killed members of the security forces, or had smuggled weapons into the country, the SPA added.
Of the 81 people, 73 were Saudi citizens, seven were Yemeni and one was a Syrian national.

Aren’t they worried about their executioners developing tennis elbow?
The report does not give a reason for Iran’s suspension [of secret talks], but it comes after Saudi Arabia put to death 81 people convicted of crimes ranging from killings to ties to militant groups, a group that activists believe included over three dozen Shiites.
Shiites, who live primarily in the kingdom’s oil-rich east, have long complained of being treated as second-class citizens. Saudi Arabia’s executions of Shiites have stirred regional unrest in the past.
Iran, the largest Shiite Muslim country in the world, and Sunni powerhouse Saudi Arabia severed diplomatic ties in 2016 after Saudi Arabia executed prominent Shiite cleric Nimr al-Nimr.
[OneIndia] The National Investigation has filed a supplementary chargesheet against two gunnies of the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... in connection with the Voice of Hind case.
The NIA in its supplementary chargesheet while naming Afshan Parvaiz and Towhead Latief Sofi said that they were involved in the publication of the magazine, Voice of Hind. The magazine aimed at inciting and radicalising the youth, the agency also said.
Investigations showed that the ISIS had organised a campaign in cyber space to further terror activities on the ground in Jammu and Kashmir ...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there.... ISIS gunnies operating from various conflict zones along with the cadres in India assumed pseudo online identities and created a network, the NIA said. Further the agency said that an India centric online propaganda magazine Voice of Hind was published on a monthly basis.
The aim of the magazine was to incite and radicalise impressionable youth by projecting a a skewed narrative of imagined injustices in India to arouse a feeling of alienation and communal hatred. During the searches the NIA seized a large number of incriminating documents and digital devices such as mobile phones, tablets, laptop , hard disks and T-Shirts having ISIS logo.
[OneIndia] The National Investigation Agency has filed a chargesheet against five Khalistan
...the idea of an independent Sikh homeland in the Indian (and Pak, but they don't dwell on that) Punjab. The local troublemakers are financed by the Sikh diaspora, who love the idea of the folks they left behind murdering their neighbours before dying romantically for a hopeless idea, with training and additional funding from Pakistain’s ISI via Lashkar-e-Taiba as yet another arrow in their quiver aimed at the Indian throat since the 1980s....
i bandidosbully boyz in connection with a narcotics and arms smuggling case.
The NIA has charged Harmesh Singh, Darvesh Singh, Gurmukh Singh,Gagandeep and Lakhbir Singh Rode.
Good Sikh names, all...
The NIA said that these persons were smuggling arms and narcotics from Pakistain and bringing it into India.
Investigation has revealed that the chargesheeted accused persons had smuggled illegal consignments of arms, ammunitions, explosives and narcotics from across the Indo-Pak border to carry out terror activities in India.
These illegal consignments were sent by accused Lakhbir Singh Rode (Chief of ISYF,
...the International Sikh Youth Federation, banned in Canada as a terror organization in 2003, and a favourite of Canadian politicians ever since...
a banned terrorist organization) and his associates from Pakistain via drones. These consignments were received by co-accused and further discreetly passed on to other accused persons involved in the conspiracy to carry out subversive activities in India. Incriminating evidences have been found against all the chargesheeted accused persons. Till now, 5 accused have been arrested in the case while accused Lakhbir Singh Rode is absconding.
[OneIndia] The security forces in Jammu and Kashmir ...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there.... have shot full of holes four Death Eaters in three separate encounters.
Two Death Eaters were from the Jaish-e-Mohammad ...literally Army of Mohammad, a Pak-based Deobandi terror group founded by Maulana Masood Azhar in 2000, after he split with the Harkat-ul-Mujaheddin. In 2002 the government of Pervez Musharraf banned the group, which changed its name to Khaddam ul-Islam and continued doing what it had been doing before without missing a beat... and they were killed in an encounter that broke out at the Chewaklan area in Pulwama, the police said.
In another encounter, a terrorist who was part of the Lashkar-e-Tayiba was killed, following an encounter at the Serch area in Ganderbal. One more Lashkar-e-Tayiba terrorist was killed in the Rajwat area of Handwara.
"#Encounter has started at Nechama, Rajwar area of #Handwara. Police and security forces are on the job. Further details shall follow. @JmuKmrPolice," the Kashmir Zone police said in a tweet.
According to Inspector General of Police, Vijay Kumar, the security forces launched joint operations at four to five locations on Friday night. This led to the killing of two Death Eaters of the Jaish-e-Mohammad and two from the Lashkar-e-Tayiba. One terrorist has been caught alive and the the encounters are Handwara and Pulwama are now complete.
Counter-terror operations were intensified in the Valley after a spree of killings of Hindus, Sikhs who are the religious minorities in the Union Territory. The civilian killings were reported in large numbers in September and October last.
However operations against the Death Eaters were intensified and by the month of October, the security forces had shot full of holes 13 terrorists.
The Jammu and Kashmir police said that the force is committed to hunt down these Death Eaters who try to create fear among the masses and spread mischief and tumult in the Valley. Such elements and their names should be excised from society the police also said.
...apparently the equivalent of a village mayor, the elected head of the elected village council...
in Kulgam district of Jammu and Kashmir ...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there.... on Friday. This is the third killing of a local elected representative by gunnies in Jammu and Kashmir this month.
One of the officials said, "At about 8:50 pm, snuffies fired upon Shabir Ahmad Mir near his residence in Adoura in south Kashmir's Kulgam district." They said Mir was taken to a hospital where doctors declared him dead on arrival.
Mir was an independent sarpanch.
The area has been cordoned off and a hunt launched to nab the attackers, the officials said.
The killing drew condemnations from political parties.
On March 9, an independent sarpanch, Sameer Bhat, was rubbed out by snuffies on the outskirts of Srinagar.
On March 2, snuffies rubbed out an independent panchayat member, Mohammad Yaqub Dar, in the Srandoo area of Kulgam.
[Jpost] No casualties were reported in the attack. "Our partners in nuclear peace"
Some 12 missiles were fired from Iranian territory and fell near the US consulate in Erbil in northwestern Iraq on Saturday night.
The Kurdistan Counter-Terrorism Service announced that 12 ballistic missiles were fired from "outside the borders of Iraq and the Kurdistan region, specifically from the east," according to the Iraqi News Agency (INA).
Independent open-source intelligence (OSINT) accounts shared videos reportedly shared by Iranian civilians showing missiles being fired from Iran ...Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979... at the time of the attack, with at least one of the videos being geolocated to a site in Khasabad in the East Azerbaijan province of Iran.
Tweeted videos can be seen at the link.
The governor of Erbil, Omed Khoshnaw, stated earlier in the night that multiple missiles fell in the area, saying it was unclear whether the target was the US consulate or the airport in the city.
While damages were reported in the attack, no casualties were reported.
The health minister of Kurdistan stated that there were no injuries or deaths reported in the attack on Saturday night. A US official told Rooters on Saturday night that there were no US military casualties in the attack.
The missile attack came as negotiations to return to the JCPOA nuclear deal with Iran stalled in Vienna.
EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell tweeted on Friday that the talks in Vienna needed a "pause," due to "external factors." Borrell added that a final text is "essentially ready and on the table."
Iranian foreign ministry front man Saeed Khatibzadeh stated on Saturday that there were at least one or two key issues that the US and Iran had not yet reached an agreement on. He added that the two states disagree on how sanctions should be lifted, with Iran wanting more sectors released from sanctions and the US wanting less.
Iranian officials stated that it is unclear when negotiations will resume.
Another video from missile launches from Khasabad military base in eastern Azerbaijan province of #Iranpic.twitter.com/VkVB1dWegc
Breaking footage was just released, which reportedly shows multiple cruise missiles launched from Iran striking the US consulate in Erbil, Iraq.
Very few details have been released at this time, but the video apparently shows these missiles flying out from the Iranian Khasabad missile base in Eastern Azerbaijan Province.
A "strategic center for conspiracy and mischiefs of the Zionists was targeted by powerful precision missiles," says a statement on the Guards’ official website.
They hit the local television station. So not terribly precise.
It warns that any future attacks by Israel "will face harsh, decisive & destructive responses."
Iranian state media agency IRNA, citing local reports, earlier claimed without evidence that “secret Israeli bases” were targeted in the attack.
The attack caused some material damage but no casualties.

Now would be the time to really show the world America is not done yet. It would keep Putin in line, solve all mohameddan problems for the next five years, and re-establish morale.
Nuke them. Don't think twice about it. Nuke Tehran.
On November 4, 1979, 52 United States diplomats and citizens were held hostage after a group of militarized Iranian college students belonging to the Muslim Student Followers of the Imam's Line, who supported the Iranian Revolution, took over the U.S. Embassy in Tehran and seized hostages.
Wikipedia
Dates: Nov 4, 1979 – Jan 20, 1981 (444 days)
Location: Tehran, Embassy of the United States, Tehran
Over 40 years ago now, but as I recall, our Washington D.C. minders and thinkers did little if anything about it. Is there any question why the Iranians think they can get away with whatever they want ?

This on the heels of Ulyanov publicly saying that the Iranians got 'everything they wanted and more' and while some of this administrations, uh, luminaries publicly floating the idea of buying Iranian oil.
No expert I, but it rather sounds as though we have an answer.

And also from the memory hole:
How about when the CIA overthrew the democratic government of Iran in the 1950s and installed the Shah, a brutal dictator whose Savak secret police terrorized the country?

Funny that the Ukrainian and the Russian negotiators issued statements today that they both expect a signed peace deal within days. Does Team Biden even have a clue as to what's going on in the world now?
Or are the Russians now in control of events from Kiev to Vienna to Tehran?

Turkey randomly bombs a village in the countryside of #Syria’s #Ain Issa, wounding 3 children and causing damage to the villagers’ homeshttps://t.co/jTfGuO6F51
— NORTH PRESS AGENCY - ENGLISH (@NPA_English) March 12, 2022
AIN ISSA, Syria (North Press) – Three children were wounded on Saturday in the bombing of the Turkish forces and Turkish-backed opposition factions on the village of al-Heisha in the western countryside of the town of Ain Issa, north Syria.
