[Western Journal] The man who is accused of shooting a Daytona Beach police officer in the head on Wednesday was captured early Saturday in Georgia.
Police said Othal Wallace
...also known as Othal Toreyane Resheen Wallace and Othal “O-Zone” Wallace...
was hiding out in a treehouse on land affiliated with a black nationalist paramilitary organization.
Although Wallace had an arsenal with him when arrested, he was taken into custody without injuries.
Wallace is accused of shooting Daytona Beach police officer Jason Raynor in the head. He faces a charge of attempted first-degree murder of a law enforcement officer.
“Othal Wallace was located hiding in a tree house,” Young said. “In the tree house with Wallace was multiple flash bangs, rifle plates, body armor, two rifles, two handguns and several boxes of ammunition.” Shoulda set the tree on fire
Multiple weapons were also recovered, he said. Several other people were at the site when the arrest was made he said.
Young gave an upbeat assessment of Raynor’s condition.
“There were very positive signs of improvement,” Young said. “He still has a ways to go. But basically from his condition right now they feel comfortable moving forward with more testing because they’ve determined that he’s now strong enough to endure more testing.
“As of right now his outlook, it is improving. It’s a positive one,” Young added. “But we are just going to continue to pray that he continues to heal.”
A profile on the NFAC in the Atlantic it said the group “has a militarylike structure, fields an army of hundreds of heavily armed men and women, subscribes to esoteric racist doctrines, opposes Black Lives Matter, and follows a leader who thinks we live in a period of apocalyptic tribulation signaled by the movements of celestial bodies. Its modus operandi is to deploy a more fearsome Black militia wherever white militias dare to appear.”
The group has apparently been around under that name for four years. Until this year it was frequently described as a far right Patriot militia made up primarily of law-abiding military veterans who respect and understand the Constitution, different only in its Black racial exclusiveness from the III Percenters, Oath Keepers, and Boogaloo Bois. At other times, it’s been described as a branch of the Black Lives Matter movement. Protests in Louisville, Kentucky and Stone Mountain were the big excitements until they commandeered the center of Austin in March to be their independent Black homeland of Orisha Land. There’s also a colony in the Colorado mountains, but it wasn’t doing well, last we read ...
In an interview, the leader of the group, who goes by the name of Grandmaster Jay and whose real name is John Fitzgerald Johnson,
... in previous incarnations he has been a rapper/producer/DJ, Army veteran, director of a global cloud integration practice and solutions architect — whatever that means — and an independent presidential candidate in 2016 who ran on a platform of racism, women’s rights, and economic equality...
called laws “just paper” and said the Black Lives Matter movement is too tame for his taste.
His goal, he said, is to rally all black gun owners to his cause.
“If I assemble 1 million legal guns, I have the fifth-largest ground army on the planet. I think that’s a pretty significant indication,” he said.
But how many of those Black legal gun owners are patriotic Americans instead of Black nationalist separatists? The Daytona Beach News Journal adds:
NFAC's leader, meanwhile, has been indicted for pointing an assault-style weapon at several federal officers at a protest in Louisville, Kentucky, on Sept. 4, 2020. According to a criminal complaint, John F. Johnson — aka Grand Master Jay — also took to YouTube to urge NFAC members to attack and kill law enforcement and their families. Johnson urged members to dismantle the body cameras of police they intended to assault.
In an interview with NBC's Morgan Radford last March, Johnson said the NFAC was growing "by leaps and bounds." He said its goals are self-defense and to create a Black ethnostate.
“The NFAC was born out of the last four years under the Trump administration. The deterioration of racial relations in this country," he said. "It means that you are preparing yourself to defend yourself. “
He called violence a "last option," but added the United States was built on violence as an option.

opposes Black Lives Matter, and follows a leader who thinks we live in a period of apocalyptic tribulation signaled by the movements of celestial bodies
What a load of false flag, gaslighting, scamster bullshit.
Also, I wonder if the white population has something like this 'heavily militarized' militia. Because they need it. Yesterday.
I just hope there arise new militant groups with intelligent leadership, maybe ex-cops and vets, in time before a minority of scum run everything over.
Constitutionalism is almost dead as I can see from here. I never had much faith in it anyway, I know it's all a giant con to make subjects of nanny states believe in the contract. But a society's will to survive is tantamount. Let's hope it kicks in before it's too late.

A few little details it would be nice to know--was this overwhelming force and surprise? Did the encampment managers cooperate?
And another we probably won't be told: Is Master Jay an FBI informant?

That incident was embarrassing for them, yes. But in the early days a bunch of them were actual American military veterans, and the organization really is called the Not Fucking Around Coalition, which no doubt appeals to the founding members’ sense of humour. And it is more evocative than Antifa group names like John Brown Gun Club and Redneck Revolt.
[ToloNews] A senior Afghan security official claimed that the Taliban ...mindless ferocity in a turban... is making efforts to take military equipment, including tanks, to Pakistain -- as the group continues to take over various districts, security outposts and military bases that house dozens of vehicles, tanks and others.
Acting Interior Minister Gen. Abdul Sattar Mirzakwal who visited the eastern province of Paktia on Saturday said his remarks were based on intelligence information he has received.
"There is also information that the Taliban take some (military) tanks to Pakistain through Zabul province (in southern Afghanistan)," the acting interior minister said. "The National Security Council and the commander in chief have ordered permanent patrols to target any tank that is tried to be taken to Pakistain."
Another high-ranking official at the same event echoed the minister's remarks by saying that some military equipment has been transferred across the Durand Line — the de facto border between Afghanistan and Pakistain.
"They have taken military equipment owned by security forces across the Durand Line," said Shamim Khan Katawazai, head of the Independent Directorate of Local Governance. "There are evidence and footage about this. Pak soldiers have clicked photos with them."
Taliban front man Zabihullah Mujahid rejected the claims on the transfer of military equipment by the group to Pakistain.
This comes as heavy fighting is underway in Paktia between security forces and the Taliban for the last week. Security forces retook Ahmad Aba and Mirzaka districts in Paktia from the Taliban in the last three days.
Paktia officials said that they have arrested Pak nationals who fought in the ranks of the Taliban during their operations.
Mirzaka district fell to the Taliban three days ago. Most parts of the district, especially government buildings, have been damaged in the festivities or have been set on fire as officials described.
Local officials claimed that the Taliban "has set ablaze" many security outposts and have "destroyed" some roads.
"Unfortunately, they (Taliban) burn and destroyed government establishments. They don’t have another message," Paktia governor Halim Fedaee said.
The 203 Corps Commander Gen. Jalaluddin Yaftali said that military operations are underway to retake seven Paktia districts that have fallen to the Taliban.
"They have made destructions in all districts," Gen. Yaftali said. "They have broken glasses. They have set ablaze some establishments."
Taliban has rejected the claims by security officials.
Paktia has 14 districts. At least 10 of them have fallen to the Taliban recently, but three, including Ahmad Aba, Mirzaka and Sayed Karam, were retaken while the group still has influence over Janikhil, Dand-e-Patan, Samkanai, Zazai Aryub, Ahmadkhil, Lazha Mangal and Rouhani Baba districts.
[ToloNews] Figures indicate that 29 civilians have been killed in the last seven days of festivities in the northern province of Kunduz, local officials said as security forces are making progress on multiple fronts in the past three days.
Officials said that 225 more civilians were maimed in the festivities in the province during a week.
The security forces retook the control of two districts on Saturday and six districts on Friday. They have expanded their operations on various fronts, supported by public uprising forces.
But sources said that centers of four districts fell to the Taliban ...Arabic for students... in the last 24 hours: Siahgerd and Shinwari districts in Parwan, Ghorak district in Kandahar, and Mizan district in Zabul.
"A mortar shell hit our home. My father was martyred," said Talib, a Kunduz resident.
"Children and women are among the victims. 95% of the casualties are civilians," said Ehsanullah Fazli, the head of the Kunduz public health directorate.
"The Afghan defense and security agencies have always been successful in providing security to Afghanistan. Unfortunately, the people who have been in the leadership have acted politically and with nepotism," said Sayed Hassan Paktiawal, an MP.
The Defense Ministry said that 225 Taliban were killed in 10 provinces in the last 24 hours. Taliban has not confirmed the figures.
"In other regions too, our brave security and defense forces are fighting the enemy with full force. Heavy casualty has been inflicted to the enemy over the past 48 hours," Defense Ministry front man Rohullah Ahmadzai said.
At least 100 districts have either fallen to gunnies or have been contested between the two sides over the last two months.
"They should listen to the residents of Ghorband district (in Parwan). They should not allow Ghorband to be sacrificed for conspiracy or a human tragedy that is out of the ability of the people," said Wais Farhadi, a resident of Parwan.
"When a district falls, efforts should be made to retake it so that civilians are not harmed," said Jalil, a Parwan resident.
The Defense Ministry reported Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s, including Parwan, in three provinces in the last 24 hours.
"Airstrikes were carried out last night. At least 20 Taliban fighters were either killed or maimed," Parwan governor Fazluddin Ayar said.
[ToloNews] Like eight other provinces across Afghanistan, this time, a large group of residents of Herat ...a venerable old Persian-speaking city in western Afghanistan, populated mostly by Tadjiks, which is why it's not as blood-soaked as areas controlled by Pashtuns... in the west and Kunduz in the north took up arms to support the Afghan defense and security forces in the fight against the Taliban ...Arabic for students... Those who rallied in support of Afghan forces have said that they believe in peace, but will defend the democratic values at any cost.
So far, hundreds of people have taken up arms against the Taliban in Takhar, Balkh, Badghis, Baghlan, Nangarhar The unfortunate Afghan province located adjacent to Mohmand, Kurram, and Khyber Agencies. The capital is Jalalabad. The province was the fief of Younus Khalis after the Soviets departed and one of his sons is the current provincial Taliban commander. Nangarhar is Haqqani country.. , Laghman ...Afghan province with a population of about 445,600, which is multi-ethnic and mostly a rural society. During the invasions of Alexander the Great, the area was known as Lampaka, wich is apparently Olde Macedonian for Laghman.The city of Mihtarlam serves as the bucolic capital of the province. The population is half Pashtun, the remainder Tadjik and Pashai. It had a repution for great wealth until it was conquered in the tenth century by Abu Mansur Sabuktigin.
He conquered it and set fire to the places in its vicinity which were inhabited by infidels, and demolishing the idol-temples, he established Islam in them, He marched and captured other cities and killed the polluted wretches, destroying the idolatrous and gratifying the Musulmans. After wounding and killing beyond all measure, his hands and those of his friends became cold in counting the value of the plundered property.
After that it was mostly notable for the production of dirt, rocks, and holy men... , Jawzjan, Samangan and Kapisa provinces.
"The security forces are not alone. We are with them," said Nazir Ahmad, a member of public uprising forces in Herat.
"We must serve the country. We are very tired. Our bridges are destroyed. Our schools are destroyed," said Zikrullah, a member of public uprising forces in Herat.
Also in Kunduz province, a large number of people took up arms to support the Afghan forces in the fight against the bad boys.
"If you are fleeing Kunduz today, I want to tell you that a man dies one time, but a weak person dies each day," said Rabbani Rabbani, member of Kunduz provincial council, referring to reports that some local officials had fled Kunduz following increased attacks by the Taliban.
People in northern Baghlan province have also taken up arms to fight the Taliban.
"The war is not the solution for conflict in Afghanistan. There is a good opportunity for the Taliban to agree on peace," said MP Azim Mohseni.
Afghan security officials said that the government will never support the existence of militia forces, however all those who have taken up arms will be operating within the structure of Afghan forces.
The acting minister of interior Gen. Abdul Sattar Mirzakwal said that the government will add another 30,000 personnel to the ranks of the Afghan Local Police (ALP) and those who have taken up arms to fight will operate within the structure of the local police.
"We do not support building militia and will not allow it to happen. 30,000 people have been approved to serve in our military structure," Mirzakwal said.
"The way this process has stared indicates a sign of danger," said Rahmatullah Nabil, former head of the National Directorate of Security ...the Afghan national intel agency... Referring to the recent waves of public uprising campaigns in several regions of Afghanistan, a Taliban front man Zabihullah Mujahid has said that these moves are part of the government's attempts.
[ToloNews] Supported by the public uprising forces, the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces (ANDSF) on Saturday broke the Taliban ...mindless ferocity in a turban... ’s siege on the outskirts of Pul-e-Khumri, the center of Baghlan province in the north, and managed to retake District 2 of the city where the two sides had fought some of the fiercest battles in the last seven days.
Some residents said Taliban still has presence in Band-e-Do and Blakha areas in the city.
Security forces on Friday retook the control of Khinjan and Doshi districts in Baghlan, but some residents said the Taliban still has check points on the way connected to Doshi and Khinjan districts.
Kelagai area has been another flashpoint between the security forces and the Taliban in the past few days. The Taliban made several attempts to infiltrate inside the city through Kelagai.
"When we arrived here, the Taliban defeated and fled the area," said Noor Agha, an Afghan National Army officer in Pul-e-Khumri.
"Three to four thousand people from Andar Abad and some others from Parwan and Kapisa came here. Although the bully boyz shown some resistance, but they were suppressed," said MP Nasim Mudabir.
Baghlan-e-Markazi, Dahana-e-Ghori, Tala Wa Barfak, Nahrin, Borka, Jolga, Khost and Guzargah-e-Noor are among the eight districts in Baghlan that have been out of the control of the government.
"We are now on the frontline. The enemy is on the other side," said Bahramuddin, the deputy commander of special forces in Baghlan.
[ToloNews] A US defense official quoted by Fox News said on Friday that the United States military has launched two dronezaps against Taliban ...Arabic for students... positions in northern Afghanistan.
The strikes came hours before President Ashraf Ghani ...former chancellor of Kabul University, now president of Afghanistan. Before returning to Afghanistan in 2002 he was a scholar of political science and anthropology. He worked at the World Bank working on international development assistance. As Finance Minister of Afghanistan between July 2002 and December 2004, he led Afghanistan's attempted economic recovery until the Karzais stole all the money... ’s meeting with US President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. S Joe's wife and daughter weren't killed by a drunk driver. He didn't graduate with three or even two degrees, wasn't in the top half of his law class, and his daddy didn't come home from a hard day's work in the mines and play football with the guys. The NAACP hasn't endorsed him every time he's run.... on Friday, the report says.
An unknown number of Taliban fighters were killed in Baghlan and Kunduz provinces, where the strikes took place, Fox News reported.
The Ministry of Defense has not commented on the Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s, but the ministry in a statement on Friday said that the Afghan Air Force targeted Taliban positions in Imam Sahib, Khan Abad and Gor Tapa districts in the northern province of Kunduz.
The ministry said that 35 Taliban fighters were killed in the Afghan forces airstrikes in Kunduz, including three key commanders of the Taliban — Qari Jawad Hashemi, Haidari and Mawlawi Qadir.
This comes as Afghan forces retook the control of seven districts from the Taliban in three provinces since Thursday evening.
The districts include Andkhoi and Khan Chahar Bagh in Faryab, Khinjan and Doshi in Baghlan, and Ahmad Aba, Mirzaka and Sayed Karam in Paktia.
At the same time, sources said that three districts -- Khost Firing and Guzargah-e-Noor in Baghlan and Dolina in Ghor -- have fallen to the Taliban on Thursday and Friday.
Heavy fighting ... as opposed to the more usual name-calling or slapsy... is underway between government forces and the Taliban in several areas in the country, particularly in the northern provinces of Baghlan, Kunduz, Faryab, and Sar-e-Pul ...a city and eponymous province in northern Afghanistan, population about 500,000. Demographically it is majority Tadjik and Uzbek. There are small Pashtun, Arab, and Hazara communities, of which the Hazaras mostly don't bother anyone... where hundreds of locals have taken up arms to fight against the group in support of Afghan troops.
The US Central Command has said that the aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76), flagship of the Ronald Reagan carrier strike group (CSG), along with guided-missile cruiser USS Shiloh (CG 67) and guided-missile destroyer USS Halsey (DDG 97), entered the US 5th Fleet area of operations on June 25.
While in the US 5th Fleet area of operations, the Ronald Reagan CSG will operate and train alongside regional and coalition partners and provide airpower to protect US and coalition forces as they conduct drawdown operations from Afghanistan, the US Central Command said.

[Garowe] Two IED blasts struck a military escorting convoy carrying high-level officials, including Puntland ...a region in northeastern Somalia, centered on Garowe in the Nugaal province. Its leaders declared the territory an autonomous state in 1998. Puntland and the equally autonomous Somaliland seem to have avoided the clan rivalries and warlordism that have typified the rest of Somalia, which puts both places high on the list for Islamic subversion... 's Minister of Security, Abdisalam Mohammed Gallan on Saturday morning.
The minister was on his way to Balli-dhadin area from the Iskushuban district in the Bari region at the time of the attack that resulted in the death of one soldier and the wounds of three others.
The IED explosions destroyed a vehicle carrying Puntland officials, but all of them survived. The injured have been taken to a nearby hospital for medical attention.
The delegation included the Commander of the Puntland Darwish Forces Geneneral Yasin Omar Dheere and Governor of Bari Region Abdisamad Yusuf Mohammed.
No group has grabbed credit for the liquidation bid however, the attack comes amid military operation against al-Shabaab ...... the personification of Somali state failure... and ISIS faceless myrmidons in Bari province.

Niger and Burkina Faso ...The country in west Africa that they put where Upper Volta used to be. Its capital is Oogadooga, or something like that. Its president is currently Blaise Compaoré, who took office in 1987 and will leave office feet first, one way or the other... 's armies on Saturday hailed the results of joint operations against Islamist Militants forces, saying they had killed more than 100 'terrorists' so far this month.
Operations involving several hundred soldiers from each army have been carried out on both sides of the border, said the Burkinabe military command.
So far they have killed more than a hundred 'terrorists', destroyed around a hundred of their cycle of violences and other vehicles, as well as capturing or destroying weapons, said the joint statement.
'These results have lived up to our expectations,' said General Salifou Modi, chief of staff of Niger's army, during a visit to a military camp at Dori, the capital of the Sahel region ... North Africa's answer to the Pak tribal areas... , in northern Burkina Faso.
A number of jihadists had also been arrested, he added.
The troops on the ground for Operation Taanli 'alliance' or 'cohesion' in the local Gulmacema language of eastern Burkina Faso have also had air support for reconnaissance and search operations.
The operation has focused on Tera and Torodi in Niger, as well as Dori, Mansia and Diapaga in Burkina Faso.
'In these areas, the populations will be left in peace at least for a while,' said General Moise Miningou, chief of staff of the Burkinabe army. 'We think that is what is essential.
'We are poor countries and our future lies in being able to pool our meagre resources,' he added.
That way, he said, 'we will get much better results. That's what has been done and we don't mean to stop so far down the right track.'
The two impoverished countries of western Africa have had to contend with repeated attacks from jihadists since 2015, which have claimed hundreds of lives and forced thousands to flee their homes.
The attacks have been attributed to groups affiliated 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.... organization or to Al Qaeda.
[AP via DNYUZ] The Iran-allied insurgents escalated their efforts to seize Marib, the government's last stronghold in northern Yemen, in February, and the fighting has killed hundreds on both sides.
The fighting between Thursday and Sunday killed 29 pro-government personnel and at least 82 rebels, three pro-government sources told AFP. Rebel forces have not confirmed the toll.
Yemeni government officials said that since Thursday, the Huthis had mounted intensive attacks from the north, south and west, but were unable to breach government defences which were supported by air cover from a Saudi-led military coalition.
"These areas witnessed fierce fighting amid artillery shelling from both sides and intense coalition air raids," one government military official said.
Control of the oil-rich region of Marib would strengthen the Huthis' bargaining position in peace talks, but the battle has also raised fears of a humanitarian catastrophe, as many Yemenis had fled to the area to escape fighting in other parts of the country.
[Western Journal] A lone police officer faced down a Black Lives Matter mob that had set fires outside a police station in Rock Hill, South Carolina, to protest the arrest of a black man who is a convicted crack dealer.
The officer was seen walking toward the angry mob to clear the street so firetrucks could drive through to extinguish the blaze raging on the lawn of the local police station, according to videos posted to Twitter on Wednesday by reporter Hunter Saenz of WCNC-TV.
The crowd stood around as the fires raged, and one of the protesters waved a large Black Lives Matter flag.
[Rudaw] The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire... has "neutralized" more than 18,000 "terrorists" in almost six years, the country’s minister of national defense said on Friday.
Ottoman Turkish Minister of National Defense Hulusi Akar on Friday told commanding officers they had "neutralized" at least 18,220 gunnies since July 24, 2015, state-owned Anadolu Agency (AA) reported on Saturday.
Akar did not specify which groups the gunnies belonged to.
Ottoman Turkish officials use the term "neutralize" to imply surrenders, killings or capturing.
While Turkey is part of the Global Coalition against 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.... (ISIS), the country also considers the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) to be a terrorist organization and often refers to the group in official statements on terrorism.
The PKK is an gang struggling for the increased rights of Kurds in Turkey.
Turkey carries out domestic and cross-border military operations in the Kurdistan Region against the PKK. The country has also carried out a number of operations in North East Syria (Rojava) against the People’s Protection Units (YPG), which Turkey believes to be the Syrian extension of the PKK, and has used this as a pretext for the nation’s invasion into Rojava.
The YPG, although ideologically inspired by PKK founder Abdullah Ocalan, denies any links to the PKK.
Akar added, "Turkey respects its neighbors' territorial integrity and expects them to reciprocate with the same policy toward Turkey," AA reported.
The statement comes amid ongoing Ottoman Turkish operations in Duhok province targeting the PKK.
Babakir Zebari, a former Iraqi military chief of staff, told Rudaw earlier in May that Turkey in some places has advanced up to 20km into the Kurdistan Region in their latest operation.
Since the decades-long conflict was reignited in 2015 following the collapse of peace efforts between the PKK and Turkey, 5,372 people have been killed, 773 of them (or about 15 percent) in the Kurdistan Region, including 43 civilians.
Turkey has also set up several military bases in Duhok province in a bid to cut off PKK routes into Turkey and Syria. Ottoman Turkish forces have carried out intense bombardments of suspected PKK positions, which have driven residents of some villages to flee their homes.
Turkey has not only advanced into the Kurdistan Region but also Rojava. Turkey has conducted three military campaigns in northern Syria in the past several years, backing Syrian militia groups, and now controls Afrin, areas north of Aleppo, and pockets of territory within Rojava in the northeast.

[OneIndia] Two low intensity explosions were reported early Sunday morning in the technical area of Jammu Air Force Station. One caused minor damage to the roof of a building while the other went kaboom! in an open area.
There was no damage to any equipment. Investigation is in progress along with civil agencies, the Indian Air Force said.
The police and the bomb squad have also been rushed to the spot.
The explosion was reported at a part of the dual use airport being operated by the Indian Air Force.
Chidambaram slams government for insisting on polls 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.... before granting statehoodChidambaram slams government for insisting on polls in Jammu and Kashmir before granting statehood
The blast took place at around 2 am. While a few injuries have been reported, the nature of the blast is unknown. A team of forensic experts too have reached the spot.
"There were reports of a kaboom inside Air Force Station Jammu. There is no injury to any personnel or any damage to any equipment. Investigation is on," a defence spokesperson said.
The police said that they are waiting for a First Information Report from the IAF. The Jammu Airport runway and Air Traffic Control are under the control of the IAF.

Suffice to say the air int directorate brief is a cushy job for men with little to no interest or acumen for the task at hand. For years they have depended on other agencies and foreign int for second hand data which they then present to command. If the enemy is using drones for two years now, it was their job to devise a counter, present a briefing and convince New Delhi to procure whatever's necessary. We take out package drones by rifle in Rajasthan and Punjab because we expect them and are prepared. Army int provides that preparedness.

It’s such fun to see which Rantburgers have which languages — and so often the results are not what I expected.
Not just at Rantburg, to be sure. Many years ago, when the trailing daughters were young and we had only recently transferred back to the States after half a decade in Europe, we were standing in the cashier line at the grocery store when td #1 asked one of those “why” questions that are ever inappropriate when the object overhears. Fortunately, td#1 had already reached sufficient discretion that she asked me quietly in German, which since our return had become our secret language. Unfortunately, as it turned out, there are a great many German speakers in Cincinnati, so the object of her question answered in the same language. Since then I’ve noticed an interesting variety of languages in my local grocery store, startling to those who insist on the stereotype of the monolingual American.

tw, I often say if you can speak two languages, you are bilingual. If you speak 3 languages, you are trilingual. If you speak one language, you are American.
On the other hand, you can drive from Key West Florida to Juneau, Alaska, a distance of about 4500 miles, and almost everyone you meet will speak English. If you drive that same distance from Paris, you are near Kabul Afghanistan.Look how many language areas you have traveled through.

[OneIndia] The Intelligence Bureau has yet again warned that the ISI and its proxies will try to sabotage the ongoing farmer protests.
The “farmer protests” siege of Delhi settled in for the long haul, because farmers clearly don’t need to plant, hoe or harvest in order to make a living at the trade when they’re being financed by romantic Sikh cousins in the First World and Pakistan’s ISI looking to cause trouble.
The Delhi Police and the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) has been alerted about the same.
In the wake of the potential threat, three Metro Stations in Delhi will remain shut from 10 am to 2 pm as a precautionary measure and this step was taken following an advisory from the Delhi Police.

The govt is secretly hoping these attempts actually succeed. The farmers of India provided a record 178 million tonnes of wheat, food produce is at all time high, and no one will miss these 'farmers' who apparently have nothing else to do.

[Rudaw] Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) held a parade northeast of Baghdad on Saturday morning to mark the seventh anniversary of their founding in the presence of Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi, who is also commander-in-chief of the armed forces.
"Today I attended the parade of our children from the Hashd al-Shaabi," Kadhimi tweeted after attending the event at Camp Ashraf in Diyala province, using the Arabic name of the PMF and mentioning he has also this year attended events for the army and the police.
"We emphasize that our work is done under the Iraqi flag and the protection of its soil and people is our duty," he added. "Yes for Iraq... Yes for a strong Iraq."
The PMF were formed when a group of militias responded to a call-to-arms from Shiite holy man Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani to stand against 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 (ISIS) as it swept across northern Iraq in 2014.
Numerous PMF brigades marched in the parade, including Shiite, Christian, and Yazidi, according to images and video shared by the PMF-linked Sabreen News on Telegram. An image of Abu Madhi al-Muhandis, the PMF commander killed alongside Iran’s General Qasem Soleimani in a US dronezap in Baghdad in January 2020, was carried in the parade.
The equipment on display showed the extent of the PMF’s military strength, including drones, tanks, armoured vehicles, artillery, rocket launchers, and boats.
Iraq’s National Security Advisor Qasim al-Araji tweeted his congratulations to the PMF "for its glorious parade as it records in the pages of glory the most beautiful images of patriotism, professionalism and discipline."
"Greetings to every fighter in the Hashd [PMF], the army, the police, anti-terrorism forces and the Peshmerga," he added.
The PMF have been officially incorporated into the Iraqi security forces, but militias within their ranks operate outside of Baghdad’s control and receive support from Iran. These groups are blamed for liquidations of anti-government activists, and rocket and drone attacks on American interests around the country.
Hours before the PMF parade, multiple explosive-laden drones hit northeast of Erbil, a few kilometres from the site of the under-construction US consulate. No group has immediately grabbed credit.
[IsraelTimes] Paleostinian Authority forces fire tear gas in Ramallah; demonstrations also held in Hebron, after activist Nizar Banat died following his arrest by Paleostinian security services.

[Ynet] - Iran has drones with a range of 7,000 km (4,375 miles), Iranian state media cited the top commander of the Revolutionary Guards as saying on Sunday, a development which may be seen by Washington as a threat to regional stability. Eh?
None so blind as those who will not see. There is a return to a deal still under negotiation. Nothing must be allowed to interfere with reestablishing the Obama legacy. On the other hand, nobody does vapourware like the Iranians. Claims are easy, actually shooting off a rocket that will fly that far and land in the targetted country is a bit harder.

Take one Cessna light aircraft(or equivalent) then add extra fuel tanks and GPS guidance. The real question is: What payload and How stealthy?
[Rudaw] Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) announced the arrest of 22 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.... (ISIS) suspects late on Friday after a two-day military operation in the eastern province of Deir ez-Zor.
"During the first day of the operation, Counter-Terrorism Units arrested 17 bandidosturbans and collaborators, and on the second day, the commandos arrested five others who were using civilian homes to hide and turn them into IED factories," the SDF announced in a statement.
The multi-ethnic force also uncovered "several secret tunnels and camouflage trenches" and seized "large quantities of weapons and kabooms" in al-Busayrah town.
In the operation, the SDF was able to "thwart potential terrorist operations prepared by those terrorist cells."
The operation was supported from the air by the global coalition against ISIS.
According to the SDF’s latest monthly report, ISIS carried out 32 attacks in May, mostly in Deir ez-Zor, "through bombings, liquidations, kidnappings, and killings, in addition to committing 11 liquidations of Syrian and Iraqi refugees who want to distance themselves from ISIS [ISIS] murderous Moslem ideology inside al-Hol camp."
Al-Hol camp in Hasaka houses just under 60,000 people, most are family members of suspected ISIS fighters.
The SDF report, published Friday, said the force had arrested 178 ISIS suspects in northeast Syria. "They were responsible for liquidations, arms smuggling, information transfer, and targeting civilians and military forces," the report stated.
[Rudaw] At least three people were killed in an IED car explosion in Afrin on Saturday, a blast The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the decaying remnant of the Ottoman Empire... blames on the People’s Protection Units (YPG).
An explosion from an IED planted in a car killed three people including a child in the center of Afrin city, the Kurdish led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) affiliated North Press Agency reported on Saturday.
The Ottoman Turkish Defense Ministry started pointing fingers soon after.
"The terrorist organization PKK/YPG has added yet another kaboom on innocent civilians in Afrin. The terrorists, who detonated a vehicle on the road used by civilians, killed 3 innocent civilians and injured 3 other civilians," the Ottoman Turkish ministry said in a tweet, adding their fight against the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) and YPG "targeting civilians" will continue.
Ankara considers the YPG to be the Syrian extension of the PKK, seen as a terrorist group in Turkey, and used this as a pretext for the nation’s invasion into Rojava.
The YPG, although ideologically inspired by PKK founder Abdullah Ocalan, denies any links to the PKK.
Turkey and its Syrian proxies invaded Afrin in March 2018, forcing hundreds of thousands of people — mostly Kurds — to flee to other areas controlled by the YPG, especially Shahba, north of Aleppo.
The YPG and other armed Kurdish groups affiliated with it have fought the Ottoman Turkish-backed militias in Afrin since losing the territory. Turkey has blamed several deadly explosions in the city on the YPG.
Turkey has conducted three military campaigns in northern Syria in the past several years, backing Syrian militia groups, and now controls Afrin, areas north of Aleppo, and pockets of territory within Rojava in the northeast.

However the Kurdish force denied the accusations and condemned the attack.
