[Breitbart] Illinois teenager Kyle Rittenhouse was released Friday from law enforcement custody after posting a $2 million bail.
Rittenhouse was charged with first-degree intentional homicide, first-degree reckless homicide, and attempted first-degree intentional homicide following the August 25th deaths of Anthony Huber
...the sweet, 26 year old avid skateboarder-cum-girlfriend strangler with a fondness for summer riots filmed trying to brain young Kyle with a skateboard, he got himself killed when he tried to take young Kyle’s gun...
and Joseph Rosenbaum
. ... “Jojo”, 36, was a convicted child rapist overly fond of prepubescent boys who was out on bond for beating up his girlfriend. He was there that night to pick fights with those protecting local businesses, and chased Kyle thinking he was someone else he’d confronted earlier. He was trying to grab Kyle‘s gun when he was shot...
in Kenosha Wisconsin during riots sparked by the police-involved shooting of Jacob Blake. Rittenhouse allegedly shot three people, two of whom shuffled off the mortal coil.
The third man Kyle shot, Gaige Grosskreutz, 26, has convictions for felony burglary and waving a gun around while intoxicated, so it was illegal for him to own a gun. He was on staff that night as a “medic” for the People’s Revolution Movement, a faction of Milwaukee’s Black Lives Matter. He was shot in the arm while aiming his handgun at Kyle, who was on the ground. Gaige later posted on Facebook that he regretted not killing the kid...
"Kyle Rittenhouse’s bond was posted this afternoon at about 2:00 pm which was set up through his attorney," said Kenosha County Sheriff’s Sgt. David Wright. "He is no longer in jug at the Kenosha County Jail."
As Breitbart News news hound AWR Hawkins previously reported:
Rittenhouse told news hounds he was in Kenosha to protect people’s property, and in late September his attorney, Pierce, told Breitbart News Sunday, "Wisconsin is an open carry state. You’ve seen the video of what was going on in that city. It was a war zone, and Kyle had every right — just as much a right — to be there as the people that were trying to burn down that city, and he was attempting to protect property and attempting to be there to provide medical aid."
Pierce added, "Every person that has any sense at all is going to take a weapon to that location. It was a legal weapon. I can’t comment right now further on the specifics of where the weapon was obtained. It was obtained as a legal weapon. It did not cross state lines. That charge is incorrect as a matter of law in Wisconsin. Actually, that weapon can be possessed by anyone 16 years or older."
Earlier this month Dominick Black, 19, was arrested and charged with allegedly purchasing the AR-15 that Rittenhouse used.
Black is accused of receiving money from Rittenhouse, "then on May 1st he drove 300 miles north from Kenosha to a hardware store in upper Wisconsin to buy the [AR-15]," according to an affidavit.
In October, Illinois did not press charges against Rittenhouse for possession of the AR-15 because the rifle was allegedly "purchased, stored, and used" out of Prairie State.
He raised the money through a crowdfunding effort thanks, in part, to My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell.
“KYLE RITTENHOUSE IS OUT OF JAIL,” L. Lin Wood, Rittenhouse’s attorney, announced on Twitter Friday. “God bless ALL who donated to help [Fight back] raise required $2M cash bail. Special thanks to Actor Ricky Schroder & Mike Lindell for putting us over the top. Kyle is SAFE. Thanks to ALL who helped this boy.”

[KhaamaPress] US foreign policy experts close to Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden ...Candidate for president in 2020. The former Senator-for-Life from Delaware, an example of the kind of top-notch Washington intellect to be found in the World's Greatest Deliberative Body... suggested for him to keep Zalmay Khalilzad, the U.S peace envoy for Afghanistan in the new team in order to take advantage of his experience and contacts with both the Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... and Afghan officials, Foreign Policy reported.
Biden’s top foreign-policy advisors, including Antony Blinken, Jake Sullivan, and Michèle Flournoy, are said to be open to considering a possible extension for Khalilzad but are by no means committed.
"I think there are scenarios in which the new administration may seek to build on what Zal has done, and there are scenarios in which they may opt for something different," one former U.S. official said. "If there is progress over the next few months and Zal is in a good position to continue that progress, I can certainly see a scenario where they would ask him to stay for some period of time. But I don’t think anyone should expect they are indispensable in a circumstance like this."
This comes as that Donald Trump ...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party... has recently ordered the acceleration of the U.S troops’ withdrawal from Afghanistan, however, this decision has rattled NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A collection of multinational and multilingual and multicultural armed forces, all of differing capabilities, working toward a common goal by pulling in different directions... allies.
The NATO chief, Jens Stoltenberg said in a tweet that NATO will continue its support to Afghanistan, despite the US troops reduction.
"Even with the US reduction, NATO will continue to train, advise & assist the Afghan forces in their fight against international terrorism", said Stoltenberg.
The earlier U.S plan was to keep 4,500 US forces in Afghanistan, but Pentagon recently announced that President Donald Trump will reduce the number of US troops from 4,500 to 2,500 before he leaves office.
On Friday, the Æthiopian government announced that "the rebel forces in the Tigray region launched a missile attack on the city of Bahr Dar in the Amhara region."
The government office in Tigray posted on Facebook, "The illegal Popular Front for the Liberation of Tigrayans launched a missile attack at about 1:40 A.M. on Bahr Dar ... The missiles did not damage Bahr Dar."
The attack did not cause any damage, Rooters reported.
The Popular Front fired three shells at Bahr Dar, from the city of Mek’ele, where the rest of the Tigray region was under the control of the Æthiopian Defense Forces, according to what was reported by the Æthiopian Burkina newspaper.

[BELLINGCAT] Æthiopia’s Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed declares that the war in the Tigray Region has entered its "final phase".
The conflict broke out on November 4 when the country’s central government accused the region’s local authorities of holding "illegal" elections and seizing a military base. Thousands of civilians have fled to neigbouring Sudan as the federal army advances towards the regional capital of Mekelle.
Tigray politicians have claimed that they are under attack "on several fronts" — including neighbouring Eritrea ...is run by the People's Front for Democracy and Justice (PFDJ), with about the amounts of democracy and justice you'd expect from a party with that name. National elections have been periodically scheduled and cancelled; none have ever been held in the country. The president, Isaias Afewerki, has been in office since independence in 1993 and will probably die there of old age... , with which the region shares a long border. As Regional President Debretsion Gebremichael recently told Rooters, "our country is attacking us with a foreign country, Eritrea. Treason!"

[Jpost] ''Jewish lies matter' was daubed on walls as Labour Party in turmoil over readmission of Jeremy Corbyn.
Two large graffiti signs with the words "Jewish lies matter" were found in the English city of Brighton and Hove on Tuesday.
They appeared on the same day that the Labour Party readmitted former leader Jeremy Corbyn. He recently had been suspended for downplaying the results of an investigation that found Labour mishandled complaints of antisemitism within the party under his leadership.
Brighton and Hove has become a hotbed of antisemitism in recent years due to the strong presence of Labour and Green Party activists. In 2014, Israeli-owned SodaStream was forced to close down its profitable local outlet following a two-year-long boycott campaign against it.
Anti-Israel activism has since developed into open antisemitism.
In 2018, a Labour activist called for a "march on the synagogues." The following year, a red substance was found splashed across the doors of Brighton’s Middle Street Synagogue, a 144-year-old building that is Grade II listed. The police were reluctant to investigate, dismissing the substance as a drink that had merely been splashed and deeming the incident not to be malicious.
Kapuza was unconvinced.
"The incidents and vile rhetoric from Labour and left-wing activists over the years in this city leave me in no doubt as to what these people really believe," she said, adding that all of the city’s MPs represent either the Labour Party or the Green Party.
"A local community group is regularly awash with vindictive commentary, blaming Jews for Corbyn losing the general election," she said.
The Labour Party is in turmoil after its National Executive Committee ruled on Tuesday to readmit Corbyn following his three-week suspension.
[Breitbart] The Swedish city of Gothenburg is looking to spend over a billion U.S. dollars in an effort to remove the city’s six no-go zones from a police list of vulnerable neighbourhoods.
It must have gotten really bad if they’re actually admitting it, not to mention willing to spend large pots of money to attempt to fix the problem.
The local government has pledged to spend 11 billion Swedish kronor ($1.28 billion/£964 million) on investment in the six areas of the city that have been deemed "particularly vulnerable" areas, in order to have them removed from the official police listing in the next five years.
The money is set to be invested in security, new construction projects, removal of graffiti, and improved waste management systems, according to a report from broadcaster SVT.
Terje Johansson, CEO of the company Framtiden, who help businesses hire staff in a variety of industries, said the ambitious goal of moving the areas from ’particularly vulnerable’ to ’vulnerable’ on the list is possible.
Johansson noted that the area of Gårdsten had been changed, largely due to the involvement in the area of a municipal housing company, although that took 22 years.
The majority of the cash, 7.5 billion kronor, will go toward construction projects in the areas of Biskopsgården, Tynnered, Hjällbo, Bergsjön, Hammarkullen, and Lövgärdet over a period of ten years.
The rest of the money will go toward what the city government refers to as "super management", including security on-site seven days a week, a zero-tolerance policy to crime, no illegal renting or subletting in the areas, and swift clean up of vandalism and graffiti.
In September it emerged that the police in the city were growing increasingly concerned about growing ethnic violence between gangs involved in the drug trade in the city.
"There are regular large violent mostly peacefulfestivities in central Gothenburg between young Afghans and especially young Syrians, but also Somalis where they fight for good drug sales. There have been several stabbings in connection with these brawls and police have on various occasions found street fighting weapons," a police intelligence report stated.
Just weeks before, gangs set up roadblocks in certain areas of the city and demanded local residents obey a curfew instituted by the gangs themselves in what was described by Gothenburg Police Chief Erik Nord as a "demonstration of power."

If you have a lot of rats and cockroaches, fumigation's the best response to that. Too bad it'll take airstrikes to solve that problem - good luck!

Does the 'fix' involve napalm and cluster bombs?

You would think the Swedes would know that once you start paying the Danegeld (which is what this is) you never get rid of the Dane... Or in this case the muslims...

Black Marketing, Smuggling and Bartering are very entrenched ME cash-flow sources and very hard to accurately tax, Alan.

Protection racket with criminal justice/prison system. Apparently recreating the Ottoman Empire is pretty expensive.
He should offer the Pope a deal on jizyah rates to convert the Hagia Sophia back into a Church, then start a bidding a war with the Greek Patriarch of Constantinople.
