Is It Easier To Grow Poppy Than Wheat?
Yes, but it’s a pain to harvest.
By Brian Palmer June 29, 2009
Why is Afghanistan hooked on poppies?
Richard Holbrooke announced in Rome on Saturday that the U.S. will shift anti-poppy efforts in Afghanistan away from destroying crops and toward supporting alternatives.
Because it’s a steady income for the Taliban, who guard the producer for a cut of the profits. They wouldn’t be needed to guard pistachio orchards or saffron fields. Also, Afghanistan has an excess of uneducated peasants to harvest the poppies, many already opium addicts, so that isn’t an issue.

I forgot to add the "sarc" tag. Poppy seeds are also grown in California and yes it is legal to grow poppies, what's illegal is the harvesting of poppy sap.

[AlAhram] The ministry identified and arrested a number of people involved with 19 illegal companies and economic entities involved in the plot.
Egypt's Ministry of Interior issued a statement on Tuesday revealing that it has foiled a plot orchestrated by leaders of the Moslem Brüderbund, along with other elements, attempting to disrupt the country's national economy.
The ministry's statement confirmed it has arrested a number of people who are involved with 19 different illegal companies and economic entities affiliated with the MB's leadership and cadres.
The ministry said it arrested Mostafa Abdel-Moez Abdel-Sattar, Osama Abdel-Aal El-Akabawy, Ahmed Abdel-Geliel El-Ghanam, Omar Mohammed El-Shiniety, Hossam Moenes Saad, Hesham Fouad Abdel-Aleem and Hassan Mohammed Hassan and Ziad El-Aleimy, a former parliament member in the 2012 People's Assembly.
Mr.El-Aleimy was a member of the secular Egyptian Social Democratic Party, one of the main protest groups in the 2011 uprising that drove out Hosni Mubarak. But it also opposed Mohammed Morsi’s democratically elected Muslim Brotherhood government...
Among those arrested are an aide to sitting MP Ahmed Tantawy and other employees of his office. They are all currently under investigation.
The ministry said it has seized organizational documents and electronic devices. The total financial transactions of the involved entities amount to EGP 250 million ($15 million).
According to the statement, the scheme was mainly focused on building paths of illegal cash flow from abroad. This falls in line with the MB, runaway forces, and other enemies of the state financing acts of violence and rebellions against state institutions. The ministry also announced that is has uncovered a hostile scheme dubbed "Plan of Hope," which was organised by runaway MB leaders in coordination with those who claim to represent civil political forces.
The ministry said that Egypt's High State Security Prosecution will carry out investigations in the case.
An informed source told Ahram Online that the MB is trying to regain a foothold on the ground as an attempt to disrupt Egypt's stability, as well as that of the Arab region. The source noted that this comes with the involvement of MB members and former MP Ziad El-Aleimy, in cooperation with other civil political powers.
"The MB terrorist organization's finances are being used by countries that support terrorism in order to infiltrate Egypt's economy and create a state of chaos with the cooperation of civil political forces and a current member of parliament," the source added.

[Libya Observer] 80 days have passed since Khalifa Haftar ...Self-proclaimed Field Marshal, served in the Libyan army under Muammar Qadaffy, and took part in the coup that brought Qadaffy to power in 1969. He became a prisoner of war in Chad in 1987. While held prisoner, he and his fellow officers formed a group hoping to overthrow Qadaffy, so it's kind of hard to describe him as a Qadaffy holdover. He was released around 1990 in a deal with the United States government and spent nearly two decades in the United States, gaining US citizenship. In 1993, while living in the United States, he was convicted in absentia of crimes against the Jamahiriya and sentenced to death. Haftar held a senior position in the anti-Qadaffy forces in the 2011 Libyan Civil War. In 2014 he was commander of the Libyan Army when the General National Congress (GNC) refused to give up power in accordance with its term of office. Haftar launched a campaign against the GNC and its Islamic fundamentalist allies. His campaign allowed elections to take place to replace the GNC, but then developed into a civil war. Guess you can't win them all... has launched his offensive against Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... with remarkable struggling on his forces' part to advance on or maintain positions in southern Tripoli, especially after their supply lines from al-Jufra to Gharyan has been destroyed.
The western zone forces under the Presidential Council's command said earlier they had attacked a military convoy moving toward al-Jufra, leaving many fighters killed or injured.
Central zone forces said they had also controlled a supply line for Haftar's forces after they had seized the road between al-Jufra and western region so the supplies cannot reach Gharyan and Tarhouna.
Meanwhile, ...back at the pie fight, Bella opened her mouth at precisely the wrong moment... heavy crashes have erupted on Tripoli Airport frontline today with Volcano of Rage Operation saying its forces have seized the main entrance gate, VIP lounge and other important areas of the airport.
The Libyan Air Force also carried out several Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s to back up the forces on the ground, striking Haftar's forces in Ain Zara, Wadi Rabea and Tripoli Airport areas, let alone a strike by Haftar's warplane on it's own forces mistakenly at the eastern part of the airport.
Clashes are still ongoing in and outside the airport as big shots from Presidential Council's forces say the battle for the airport and Qasir Benghashir will soon end on victory.

[AAWSAT] 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... militias have escalated their military operations in Hodeidah by shelling the positions army positions and residential villages and committing more massacres against unarmed civilians.
Two siblings were killed on Sunday while their father survived in Durayhimi district, south Hodeidah, after the earth-shattering kaboom of Houthi mines planted in the area.
Local sources said a landmine planted by the militias, before fleeing the area, went kaboom! in Qadba village in the southern outskirts of Durayhimi, killing Yahya Mohammed Ali Omar, 10, and his sister Najwa, 11.
This incident is added to the series of crimes committed by Houthi militias against innocent civilians in Hodeidah and the West Coast after transforming cities, villages, farms and public and sub-roads to minefields before fleeing them.
These mines lead to the death of civilians, mostly women and kiddies, on a daily basis.
This incident comes one day after the death of a woman and the injury of others from the same family as a result of Houthi shelling on a residential neighborhood in Hays district, south Hodeidah, according to local sources.
"Houthi militias have fired heavy artillery shells at civilian houses in Hays district, one of which fell at Mohammed Naji Hamid’s house, killing Wafa Ahmed Ghaleb Jamal and wounding Salama Hassan Hammadi, Munir Abdullah Salem, in addition to the children, Qaboos and Raad Mohammed Naji, whose injuries were critical," sources explained.

To clarify: is this emir the biggest of big turbans in all Yemen, or is he just a local patrol leader?
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] The Arab Coalition said that Saudi Special Forces have captured Abu Osama al-Muhajir, the emir of ISIS in 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... A statement on the Saudi Press Agency said al- Muhajir, as well as other members of the Death Eater group, were captured on June 3.
Weapons, ammunition, and telecommunication devices were also seized during the operation.
Col. Turki al-Maliki, the official front man of the Arab Coalition, said the joint operation took place on June 3 at 9:20 am local time.
"A house kept under close surveillance proved the presence of the terror group’s leader, and other elements, along with three women and three children," al-Maliki said.
"By fully identifying and understanding their daily routines in the area through monitoring and surveillance, the operation was successful in capturing the terrorists, and ensuring the safety of the women and kiddies inside the house," he added.
According to a statement, the entire operation lasted for ten minutes; including the raid, arrest of the terrorists, and the confiscation of possessions.
That’s absolutely amazing! Surely neither the SEALS nor Mossad nor Spetznatz could accomplish such a thing so very quickly. Update from Iraqi News at 5:10 p.m. EDT:
“The terrorist, who is known as Abu Osama al-Muhajer, was arrested along with some of his allies, including the group’s financial officer," Maliki added.

Islamist nutters in Central America - not our problem, right? Wait, there something in the news about large numbers of 'immigrants' sneaking across our southern border. As much some of us might like to ignore everything beyond our borders, the world is way to interconnected for that now.
[RT] Dutch police have made the largest seizure of crystal meth in European history, finding 2,500kg (5,500lbs) in a hidden crawlspace at a warehouse in Rotterdam.
The drugs, with an estimated street value in the hundreds of millions, were discovered last week during a raid on a business premises.
Officers noticed the upper floor of the building was far smaller than it appeared from the outside, and eventually discovered a hidden compartment stuffed with the highly addictive drug, according to a Dutch police press release.
The police wasted no time in incinerating the seized drugs. Meanwhile, the investigation led officers to another warehouse in Utrecht where they discovered 17,500 liters of chemicals used to produce cocaine and other drugs. The inquiry into this extensive drug syndicate is ongoing and police believe the vast trove of crystal meth was destined for export.
Dutch gangs are reportedly increasingly moving into the production of crystal meth, despite its lack of popularity in the Netherlands. So far in 2019, a total of four meth labs have been dismantled by Dutch authorities.
[Jpost] A U.S. woman charged with working as an 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.... recruiter under the code name "Umm Nutella," who agreed to cooperate with the prosecutors but then divulged her deal to Lions of Islam while out on bail, could be sentenced to life in prison on Tuesday.
Sinmyah Amera Ceasar, who has used that pseudonym, has pleaded guilty to two federal charges for her efforts to aid Islamic State and other Death Eater groups, according to papers filed in federal court in Brooklyn.
"The defendant's conduct is deeply troubling," U.S. Attorney Richard Donoghue said in court papers.
Donoghue laid out a cloak-and-dagger saga that began with Ceasar's arrest 2-1/2 years ago as he asked a judge to deny bail in a letter unsealed on Monday and dated Feb. 6.
Ceasar was taken into custody in November 2016 at Kennedy International Airport as she tried to leave the United States. She confessed to using Facebook and other platforms to connect people with Islamic State members who would help them travel to territory controlled by the group, Donoghue said.
She pleaded guilty to related charges in February 2017 under a cooperation agreement and was released on bail in April 2018, he said.
Her bail was revoked the following July after prosecutors learned that she had contacted numerous people, including those she had previously told federal agents were supporters of ISIS or other Lions of Islam groups, he said.
"The fbi put me under a different name because they wanted my case too be sealed," she told a Taliban ...mindless ferocity in a turban... -supporting associate in the United States in a Facebook exchange, prosecutors said in court papers. "How the heck we know i was going to arrested out fo no where."
In an April 15 letter to the woman's lawyers, which was also just unsealed, Donoghue said the government estimated the sentencing guidelines for her crimes to be 30 years to life. The letter also revealed that the woman had pleaded guilty to a second unspecified charge or charges on March 7.

[ALMASDARNEWS] The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) has continued its military buildup in northwestern Hama, as more reinforcements continue to pour into this area.
According to a report from this front, reinforcements from the Syrian Army and National Defense Forces (NDF) were deployed to the Kafr Naboudeh axis, where they will take part in a new assault against the jihadist rebels.
While the Syrian Army has been able to secure the northern axis of Kafr Naboudeh, the eastern part of the town is still susceptible to jihadist attacks from the nearby hilltop of Tal Sakher.
At the same time, the Syrian Army and local NDF units are still struggling to retake the key hilltop of Tal Malah, which is preventing them from reopening the Mhardeh-Sqaylabiyeh Road.
The Syrian Army’s operation east of Kafr Naboudeh will likely remain on hold until they can retake Tal Malah and nearby Jibeen.

In the past four weeks, the jets have flown in pairs for more than 225 hours, just over 30% of their total flying hours in the last year, and carried out 95 missions before joining Operation Shader, the name given to the UK’s contribution in the ongoing military action against IS.

[ALMASDARNEWS] Several Death Eater corpses were left behind along the Mhardeh-Sqaylabiyeh Road after a fierce battle with the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) in the northwestern countryside of the Hama Governorate.
According to the source of the video, the corpses belonged to the Jaish al-Izza Death Eater group, who is one of the largest rebel factions in northwestern Hama.
Jaish al-Izza was defending the town of Jibeen and nearby hilltop of Tal al-Malah from the Syrian Arab Army and National Defense Forces’ (NDF) troops that were on the offensive in northwestern Hama.
In addition to launching this attack along the Mhardeh-Sqaylabiyeh Road, the Syrian Army troops showcased a Death Eater drone that was shot down over this region.
