[Rudaw] Alan Kurdi, the 2-year-old boy whose drowning became the iconic image of the Europe ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... an refugee crisis, is to be commemorated in a film by Ottoman Turkish director Omer Sarikaya. However, man does not live by words alone, despite the fact that sometimes he has to eat them... Kurdi’s father says the family was not consulted about the project.
The film, based on the 2018 book "The Boy on the Beach" by Alan’s aunt Tima Kurdi, has left surviving relatives distraught, said Alan’s father Abdullah.
"They have not consulted me. The story is completely based on this book," Abdullah told Rudaw TV on Friday.
Abdullah, his wife Rehanna, and their two sons, Alan, 3, and Ghalib, 4, were trying to cross the Aegean Sea to Greece on September 2, 2015 when their smuggler’s boat sank off the Ottoman Turkish coast.
A photograph of Alan lying face down in the surf on a Ottoman Turkish beach caused shock and revulsion worldwide and led to calls for European leaders to offer refugees safe and legal passage.
Ottoman Turkish director Omer Sarikaya told Ottoman Turkish state media agency Anadolu on Thursday he has already started filming "Baby Aylan" in The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire... ’s Bodrum, Mugla province, near to where Alan’s body was found.
The movie is produced by George Edde and Bahattin Ozturk.
"The greatest feature of the film is that all the income will go to humanitarian aid. None of the actors or actresses will be paid," Sarikaya added. "Of course, my time will be compensated"
The film is expected to be completed by July 2 and to premiere on September 2.
American actors Steven Seagal and Mike Mitchell and German actress Wilma Elles will star in the movie.
Alan’s father told Rudaw he plans to take legal action to halt the film’s production.
"I will seek legal ways [to stop the production]. It will be good if they stop it. If not, I will go to Turkey and hire a lawyer to stop this. I cannot watch a movie where my son is depicted alive," he said.
He also said his son’s name has been spelled incorrectly. "Alan is a Kurdish name," he said.
Sarikaya says he did not seek permission from Alan’s family as his movie is not solely about the boy but about refugees in general.
[FOXNEWS] President Trump vowed Saturday to "immediately" appeal a judge’s ruling blocking funding for his border wall, while reviving threats to proceed with stalled deportation raids as soon as a week from now.
The president discussed his immigration plans as part of a wide-ranging presser following the G-20 summit in Osaka, Japan.
His administration, just after notching a win with the passage of a $4.6 billion bill to address the humanitarian crisis along the U.S.-Mexico border, was dealt a blow Friday when a Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, judge barred Trump from tapping $2.5 billion in military funding to build high-priority segments of the border wall in California, Arizona and New Mexico. Judge Haywood S. Gilliam, Jr. in Oakland acted in two lawsuits filed by California and by activists who contended the money transfer was unlawful and construction would pose environmental threats.
"We're immediately appealing it and we think we'll win the appeal," Trump said at his presser, calling the decision a disgrace. "There was no reason that that should have happened."
Meanwhile, ...back at the pie fight, Bella grabbed the cocoanut cream... the president made clear that despite the passage of the aid package in Congress, he plans to move forward with controversial Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids absent a deal on reforming the asylum process, which he described as unlikely.

These judges are constipated fools bound up with Obama rhetoric.
#2
Or maybe the trafficking, drug and prostitution industry pays them. Once appointed, it's not like these judges can be removed by democrats, so there's no reason for them to play their stupid games. There's really no reason why the judiciary would intervene with this kind of activism unless they were invested somehow in the criminal enterprise being carried out. There's also the ongoing attempt to 'colorize' America against the will of the majority, by persons of color in any office. They'll go to any length to erode the executive mandate and reduce border security.
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Sudan’s military ruler said the country’s Transitional Military Council is ready to hand over control to "any authority elected by the Sudanese people."
"We pledge to build the new Sudan and are open to negotiations with everyone," said Lieutenant General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, the head of the Transitional Military Council.
"It is our responsibility to listen to the demands of the Sudanese people. We are with the Sudanese people to complete the revolution and build the future of the country," he added.
In a separate statement, the military council said the protest movement would be held responsible for any violence on Sunday.
"The country is going through a serious crisis, and we will hold the Alliance for Freedom and Change entirely responsible if any soul is lost in the march" on Sunday, the council said.
Sunday’s mass rally will be the first attempt to mobilize protesters after the June 3 crackdown on the protest camp outside the military headquarters in Khartoum.

[Ynet] Cash-strapped Cairo government sees development of peninsula as crucial to national security, but even prospect of a $9 billion windfall cannot sway the Egyptians on giving up part of this land for a Gazoo expansion
A U.S.-proposed $9 billion aid package could tempt Egypt with long-sought financing to transform its strife-torn Sinai Peninsula, but analysts say political risks are likely to outweigh any potential financial benefit.
Egypt has been struggling to launch infrastructure projects for the development of Sinai, where military and security forces have been battling Islamic State

[IsraelTimes] Following downing of drone and tanker attacks, Air Force says F-22s have been sent to Persian Gulf ’to defend American forces and interests’.
The US has deployed F-22 stealth fighters to Qatar ...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... for the first time, its military said Friday, adding to a buildup of US forces in the Gulf amid tensions with Iran.
The Air Force F-22 Raptor stealth fighters have been deployed "to defend American forces and interests," the US Air Forces Central Military Command said in a statement that did not specify how many of the hi-tech planes had been sent.
A photo handout showed five of the jets flying above the Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar.
Tehran and Washington have been locked in an escalating standoff since US President Donald Trump ...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US... unilaterally withdrew from a multi-party 2015 nuclear deal with 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 a cognate form of Stürmabteilung (or SA), the term Supreme Guide is a cognate form of either Shah or Führer or maybe both, and they hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... and reimposed sanctions on the Islamic Theocratic Republic.
In May, the US Air Force deployed several nuclear-capable B-52 Stratofortress bombers to the Gulf in response to what the Defense Department described as a possible plan by Iran to attack American forces in the region, as well as an aircraft carrier task force.

[RT] Ottoman Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan has revealed that his US counterpart Donald Trump ...The man who was so stupid he beat fourteen professional politicians, a former tech CEO, and a brain surgeon for the Republican nomination in 2016, then beat The Smartest Woman in the World in the general election... told him that The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor... won’t face sanctions over its decision to purchase major missile defense systems from Russia. You keep chirping that, Yippy. Won't you be surprised...
The countries have been at loggerheads over the Moscow-Ankara S-400 deal and the two leaders discussed the issue during a meeting on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Osaka, Japan, on Saturday.
Erdogan told a presser after the meeting that Turkey won’t face sanctions due to its purchase of the S-400 systems and it will be permitted to buy F-35 stealth fighter jets from the US, despite the dispute.
Trump told news hounds that the S-400 deal is a "problem" for the US but noted that Turkey had been barred from purchasing its Patriot systems during the B.O. regime. He added that he will visit Turkey "soon" to improve ties with Ankara.
Ahead of the Trump meeting, Erdogan held discussions with Russian President Vladimir Putin ...President-for-Life of Russia. He gets along well with other presidents for life. He is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substance. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to him. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substances... . During that meeting, the Ottoman Turkish leader reiterated his commitment to purchasing the Russian missile defense systems despite pressure from the US. The S-400s are due to arrive in Turkey later this summer.

[Rudaw] Militants have launched several recent attacks across the territories disputed between Erbil and Baghdad. The towns of Rashad and Hawija west of Kirkuk in particular have seen an uptick in bully boy activity.
Posting via messaging app Telegram, the ISIS propaganda outlet Nashirnews said turbans had targeted Iraqi federal police in the subdistrict of Rashad and in the city of Tikrit on the Kirkuk road in the last 48 hours.
On Thursday, two improvised bombs were detonated on two public buses in Kirkuk city center, killing one and injuring 17. The provincial council blamed the attack on ISIS remnants.
ISIS has also grabbed credit for a rash of crop fires on the outskirts of Kirkuk city.

[IsraelTimes] US President Donald Trump ...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party... said Saturday there will never be an Israeli-Paleostinian peace agreement if one is not negotiated during his presidency, while saying there is a "very good chance" his proposal for solving the decades-long conflict could succeed.
Trump made the remark during a presser at the end of the G20 summit in Japan, days after his son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner unveiled the economic aspects of the US peace plan at a conference in Bahrain.
"With me being president, if you don’t get that deal done it’ll never happen," he said.
Trump said he believes the Paleostinians, who have boycotted his administration since his December 2017 recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, want an agreement.
"I know they want to make a deal, but they want to be a little bit cute ‐ and that is okay. I fully understand where they are coming from," he said.
Regarding his decision to cut US aid for the Paleostinians, Trump said it was because they said "nasty things" about him, without specifying.
"I ended that money because a year ago I heard they were saying nasty things and I said, ’Wait a minute, we’re trying to make a deal, we’re trying to help them and they’re saying these nasty things, we’re not gonna pay,'" he said.
"If you’re not negotiating and don’t want to help make peace, we’re not gonna pay you. So let’s see what happens," he added.
Despite the Paleostinians’ rejection of his peace efforts, Trump was optimistic that there is a "very good chance" of reaching an agreement, which he said "may very well be the toughest deal of all."
At the Peace to Prosperity conference in Bahrain this week, Kushner rolled out an economic plan that proposed a $50 billion investment for the West Bank, Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... Strip, and countries in the region over the course of 10 years, and pledged to create up to a million new jobs.
The proposal was dismissed by the Paleostinian Authority, which says that Kushner’s plan is a pretext by the pro-Israel Trump administration to impose a political solution that it says will adopt Israel’s positions on solving the Israeli-Paleostinian conflict.
Kushner said that the administration will put out the political component at the "right time" ‐ and said that different people were drafting the political and economic plans.
[IsraelTimes] Khalid Siddiqi says those allegedly responsible for the former Egyptian president’s death were ’working for Satan’.
An imam in the Socialist paradise of San Francisco ...where God struck dead Anton LaVey, home of the Sydney Ducks, ruled by Vigilance Committee from 1859 through 1867, reliably and volubly Democrat since 1964... claimed the death of former Egyptian president Mohammed Morsi during a court hearing this month was the work of "Zionist agents."
Morsi, a member of the Moslem Brüderbund, was Egypt’s first democratically elected leader. He was ousted and imprisoned by the Egyptian military in 2013.
Egyptian state television ... and if you can't believe state television who can you believe?
reported Morsi died of a heart attack, but the Moslem Brüderbund said he was killed, a claim echoed by ally Ottoman Turkish President His Enormity, Sultan Recep Tayyip Erdogan the First ...Turkey's version of Mohammed Morsi but they voted him back in so they deserve him. It's a sin, a shame, and a felony to insult the president of Turkey. In Anatolia did Recep Bey a stately Presidential Palace decree, that has 1100 rooms. That's 968 more than in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really more important... "Mohammed Morsi, the only democratically elected president of Egypt, was killed by those Zionist agents," Khalid Siddiqi of the Islamic Society of San Francisco
...that’s Dr. Hafiz Mohammed Khalid Sidiqqi to you, bub. The highly educated Dr. Siddiqi earned his Ph.D. in Quranic Studies from the University of London and M.A. from Al-Azhar University in Cairo. He has been active in the U.S. since 1983, lectures at several local colleges, and has his very own website here, which connects to his YouTube channel. Dawa are him...
said in a June 21 sermon.
Video of the sermon was released by the Middle East Media Research Institute monitoring group.
Siddiqi lamented that there were many of these "Zionist agents" in the Moslem world "nowadays" and said they were "working for Satan and becoming the disciples of Satan."
He also said Morsi "was only trying to help humanity by bringing the truth of Islam."
"This individual was trying to do simply that thing but obviously, the forces of evil, as they did not allow the president who was democratically elected in Algeria to continue, they did not not allow Morsi as well," Siddiqi said.
He appeared to be referring to the 1991 Algerian parliamentary elections, which were canceled after an Islamist party appeared on track to a sweeping victory, setting off a decade-long civil war.
Lots of blah blah about how evil the Assad government is, but no mention whatsoever that the unmentioned rebel groups (except for the unmentioned Kurds) are considerably worse.

ISIS enjoyed immense power and influence during its initial months of control, but was finally dislodged in 2017 with the help of an international coalition and local forces. Hundreds of imported muscle and their families were detained.
