[DAWN] Nearly a year after a Libyan militia announced it had set free the son and heir apparent of slain dictator Moamer Qadaffy, the fate of Seif al-Islam remains a mystery.
His reported release from detention by the Abu Bakr al-Sadiq Brigade which once controlled the town of Zintan in western Libya has never been confirmed and has fuelled wild rumours.
While some insist he is still somewhere in Zintan, others claim Seif is dead.
One thing, however, is certain: he has not been seen or heard of since June 2014 when he appeared via video from Zintan during his trial by a 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... court.
And now Seif is back in the news, after La Belle France's former president Nicolas Sarkozy ...23rd President of the French Republic. Sarkozy is married to singer-songwriter Carla Bruni, who has a really nice birthday suit... was charged in Gay Paree with financing his 2007 election campaign with money from Qadaffy.
In a 2011 interview with the Euronews television network, Seif said Sarkozy must "give back the money he took from Libya to finance his electoral campaign".
Seif al-Islam ‐ whose name means "sword of Islam" ‐ was captured by the Zintan-based militia in November 2011, days after Qadaffy was killed in a NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A cautionary tale of cost-benefit analysis.... -backed uprising against his decades-old rule.
The International Criminal Court (ICC) is in a legal tug-of-war with Libyan authorities to transfer Seif to The Hague, where he is wanted for crimes against humanity including murder.

[ConservativeTreehouse] ♦ In August of 2017 President Trump and Commerce Secretary Ross were discussing their trade efforts within NAFTA and renegotiation with Mexico/Canada on a trilateral basis. However, the U.S. administration said if it doesn’t work, they’d scrap the 3-way NAFTA deal and go one-on-one with individual bilateral agreements. In response, Mexican Economic Minister Ildefonso Guajardo threatened to flood the U.S. with South American illegal aliens, criminals and gang members as leverage:
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) ‐ Mexico could pull back on cooperation in migration and security matters if the United States walks away from talks to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement, the Mexican economy minister said in a newspaper report published on Thursday.
"If they do not treat [us] well commercially, they should not expect us to treat them well by containing the migration that comes from other regions of the world and crosses Mexico," Guajardo said. "Or they should not expect to be treated well in collaboration with security issues in the region."
However, Mexican Minister Ildefonso Guarjardo’s threat was mild compared to a threat in January 2017, when another Mexican official promised to flood the U.S. with South American drugs and gang violence:
♦ In a stunning segment on Fareed Zakaria’s CNN broadcast January 29th, 2017, Mexico’s former foreign minister, Jorge Castaneda, states the Mexican government was willing to counter U.S. President Donald Trump policy by unleashing drug cartels upon the U.S. border.
Watch, and more importantly LISTEN, to his words at 02:10 below (Prompted):
This was the most politically explosive admission by the Mexican government in the past decade. Even Fareed Zakaria realized what was being threatened and quickly attempted to redirect the conversation.
Mr. Castaneda was openly admitting a willingness to promote drug trafficking. Additionally, Jorge Castaneda is so proud of the threat, he posted a video of the discussion on his own YouTube page. More at the link.

Trump should tell the Mexican government that if this convoy crosses our border, a state of war will exist between the US and Mexico and step 1 of our counter attack will be the extermination of every single Mexican government official above the local level

Countries are responsible for what comes from or through their territory into another country. Early in US history an Irish group set up on the Canadian border and attacked British interests -- and the US has no grounds to object when the British retaliated. If the Mexican government is going to take the stand that they cannot control what comes from their territory, they are admitting they are no longer a government.
I'm which case: all treaties with them are null and void, including those that facilitate bank transfers. All of their consulates and embassies are closed and every Mexican national is now a stateless person (yes, including their ambassador).
As a step short of this, we could just arrange for their corrupt politicians to meet their justice at an earlier date. Eventually Mexico would have a government that can govern and governs sanely.

Government officials are not a class of people. They are not a race. They are the command and control structure of what is supposed to be a nation. When they threaten another country, attempt to blackmail another country, they have declared themselves to be hostile targets. Killing enemies working directly to harm and destroy your country is nothing more than an act of national survival. My 'plan' for fixing the Mexican problem is simple. Remove their government, allow their states to become US territories and in 15 to 20 years, they can apply for statehood in the United States of America. It'll take a while for them to reach a point beyond their endless cycle of self-destruction and corruption. In the end, they become citizens and the border is no longer an issue.

Trump should announce that if the Mexican government doesn't stop the bullshit that he'll put a 90% tax on remittances to Mexico. 1/3 of the Mexican economy would dry up overnight.
[BREITBART] A significant majority of French now support banning the radical Salafist sect of Islam, and the government reinstating the national state of emergency, as the nation reels from another deadly radical Islamic terror attack in March.
The new poll taken days after four were killed by a self-proclaimed member of the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're 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 the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... killed four in southern La Belle France found the French public overwhelmingly backing a significant crackdown on radical Islam and deportations that could impact tens of thousands of people.
Perhaps most significantly, 88 per cent of French said they supported banning the rapidly expanding, radical Salafist sect of Islam, even though over half of respondents said they acknowledged that implementing the ban in La Belle France would be difficult, if not impossible.

the first three generations of Muslims are known as the salaf
so if you use the example of these generations to establish law and normative behavior, you are a Salafi
there was a lot of violence in the first three generations, a lot of forced conversions, a lot of execution of captives, slavery, etc.

[ALMASDARNEWS] Ankara on Monday ordered the arrest of Islamic holy manFethullah Gülen ... a Turkish preacher living in Pennsylvania whom the current govt of Turkey considers responsible for all the ills afflicting Turkey and possibly the entire world... along with seven members of his Fethullah Terrorist Organization (FETO) over the killing of Russian Ambassador Andrey Karlov, who was assassinated in 2016, the Yeni Safak newspaper reported.
According to the newspaper, the FETO top figures Serif Ali Tekalan and Emre Uslu Gulen were also among those, sought to be placed in durance vile You have the right to remain silent... Russian former Ambassador to The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund.... Andrei Karlov was shot by an off-duty Ottoman Turkish police officer, Mevlut Mert Altintas, on December 19, 2016, at the opening of an art gallery exhibition "Russia from Kaliningrad to Kamchatka through the eyes of a traveler" in Ankara. The attacker was killed at the scene by the police.
Though the investigation is still ongoing, the Ottoman Turkish side has repeatedly voiced suspicions that the Gulen movement, considered by Ankara to be a terrorist organization and accused by the authorities of criminal masterminding the 2016 failed coup attempt in Turkey, is linked to the attack.
Besides the Karlov case, Turkey accuses Gulen of a coup attempt that occurred in July 2016. The coup was quickly suppressed by government forces, but over 240 people were killed and an estimated 2,000 were maimed.
The warrants were issued a day ahead of a visit to Ankara by 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... for talks with Ottoman Turkish counterpart 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... aimed at bolstering the growing Moscow-Ankara relationship.
The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... has said the murder was a plot carried out by the group of Gulen, a U.S.-based Islamic preacher who stands accused of staging the 2016 coup bid. But Moscow has yet to echo this.
Serif Ali Tekalan headed a university linked to Gulen in Istanbul and now heads the Texas-based North American University (NAU).
It was not immediately clear if any of the suspects are currently in Turkey.
Gulen, who denies any link to the coup, has been hit with multiple Ottoman Turkish arrest warrants. But so far the United States has yet to budge in response to Ottoman Turkish demands for his extradition.
Anadolu said that the investigation had found links between the gunman Altintas and Gulen.
According to the news agency, nine people are already in jug awaiting trial over the killing including television producer Hayreddin Aydinbas, the organizer of the photo exhibition Mustafa Timur Ozkan and former coppers.
There were fears the killing would again derail relations that had only been put back on track that summer with a reconciliation deal after the November 2015 shooting down by Turkey of a Russian war plane over the Syrian border.
But relations have since gone from strength to strength, with Putin's upcoming visit expected to signal the strategic importance of the relationship to both sides.

[DAWN] Concerned that the tide of far-right ideology could become mainstream in Canada, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government has for the first time earmarked millions of dollars in the national budget to counter racism.
As far-right movements have gained ground among many of Canada’s allies, the Liberal government has committed to providing 23 million Canadian dollars over two years for multicultural programmes and cross-country consultations on racism.
The budget, approved in February, stated that diversity was a cornerstone of Canadian identity threatened by the rise of "ultranationalist movements and protests against immigration, visible minorities and religious minorities". The new funding will bolster the existing multiculturalism programme.
Canada is worried that such ultranationalist movements could also harbour violent elements. In its annual public report on the terrorist threat to Canada in December, Public Safety Canada listed right-wing extremism as a "growing concern" for the first time. While much of the far-right activity was concentrated online, the report said, there were risks for physical violence.

[GoldenStateTimes] Texas Governor Greg Abbott took to Twitter on Sunday to let patriots know that...
He has deployed the National Guard to curtail the so-called caravan of Central American Illegal Aliens heading for the U.S through Mexico. Pushing them towards Cali. This is going to be interesting.

Last report I saw was dated March 31 and the "Caravan" was still in Oaxaca, a long way from the border without motorized transportation. Sometime soon they will have to decide on either Texas or California to avoid the mountains.

...THIS. Quietly give the Mexicans one - and only one - chance: the caravan stops, and stops within 24 hours...because if a single one of these people tries to set foot in the US, the border will be closed indefinitely and NAFTA with Mexico will be suspended. And if that doesn't work, deploy the gorram Army. Anybody who tries it then gets to live in tents in the desert until we vet every single one of them. Could take years.
They're not going to understand unless it hurts.

Before this caravan issue came up, I'd think something in the 5% range would be close to maximizing our take, as it doesn't give a massive incentive to try other avenues. With this fucking obnoxious caravan coning our way with help from Mexico, jack it to 25%. Like Mike says, make it hurt.

Enough! This is a direct invasion with the tacit support of the government of Mexico. Move military forces to the border, close all commercial traffic to and from Mexico, impose the wire funds taxes mentioned above. Either we are a sovereign nation or we are finished as a first world power. Get some spine America, these people want to play confrontation so give them one. A goddam big one!

Move military forces to the border
If I were me, I'd position forces just across the border. Create a buffer zone and totally freak out the Mexican govt. I'd even send a letter of apology to Mex Prez Nieto - Sorry for the intrusion, dude, but we care more about America than Mexico's illusory sovereignty.

[DAWN] Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai ...a Pashtun blogger and advocate for girls' education from Mingora, in Swat. She is esteemed as an ambassador of international good will, even though she can't go home lest some fellow in a turban shoots her in the head again... on Monday ended her first visit to Pakistain since being shot in 2012 by Talibs who tried to kill her for promoting girls' education in the country's northwestern area.
A smiling Yousafzai was seen with her parents at Benazir Bhutto ... 11th Prime Minister of Pakistain in two non-consecutive terms from 1988 until 1990 and 1993 until 1996. She was the daughter of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, founder of the Pakistain People's Party, who was murdered at the instigation of General Ayub Khan. She was murdered in her turn by person or persons unknown while campaigning in late 2007. Suspects include, to note just a few, Baitullah Mehsud, General Pervez Musharraf, the ISI, al-Qaeda in Pakistain, and her husband, Asif Ali Zardari, who shows remarkably little curiosity about who done her in... International Airport before they boarded a plane to return to London after the four-day visit.
Amid tight security, Yousafzai in a convoy of vehicles left her hotel in Islamabad, where she stayed for four days.

It is inhabited mostly by Pashto speakers. The place has gone steadily downhill since the days when Babe Ruth was the Sultan of Swat... Valley.
After visiting Mingora on Saturday, Yousafzai in a tweet said it was "the most beautiful place on earth" for her.

Erbil (IraqiNews.com) Kurdistan Region’s Government’s Peshmerga Ministry has announced holding a round of meetings along with the federal Defense Ministry in attendance of U.S. officials representing the International Coalition over formation of a joint task force at the regions, where illusory sovereignty is disputed on between Baghdad and Erbil.
"The international coalition has been seeking for forming a joint task force and checkpoints at the disputed regions in order to preserve safety, stability and protect civilians," Maj. Gen.Qaraman Sheikh Kamal, deputy chief of staff of operations at the Peshmerga Ministry, was quoted by Kurdistan News channel on Monday.
Forming a task force, according to Kamal, "is a demand by the U.S.-Coalition and the people at those regions so Peshmerga troops can return back to these areas."
"Several meetings were held between the Peshmerga and the Defense Ministry under supervision of the Coalition," Kamal said indicating serious efforts toward forming the task force.
In March, Mazahim al-Howeit, spokesperson for the Arab tribes in Nineveh, was quoted by Radio Sawa website as saying a delegation from U.S. is expected to visit each of Baghdad and Erbil to agree on the redeployment of the Kurdish Peshmerga troops in disputed regions.
Iraqi government forces approached the southern borders of Erbil, capital of semi-autonomous Kurdistan Region, after taking over Kirkuk province from Kurdish Peshmerga fighters in October, fulfilling instructions made by the Prime Minister Haidar al-Abadi to retake areas where illusory sovereignty is disputed with Kurdistan.
Baghdad had declared intentions to retake areas disputed on with Erbil following the Kurdistan Region’s vote for ts independence referendum on September 25, from Iraq, urging Peshmerga to cooperate with federal troops.

From what I read elsewhere Iraq will agree to nothing until it sees how the national voting plays out in May and calculates how to deal with Iran and the Shite militias. They claimed to be able to control these areas and that's why Iraq let them attempt it. They have failed at it but Iran still doesn't want to see Peshmerga anywhere.
Baghdad (Iraqinews.com) ‐ A security expert has warned that about 95 percent of Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're 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 the pols talk they're not really Moslems.... (IS) leaders are still hiding in different areas inside and outside Iraq, urging Iraqi authorities to act immediately to capture them as soon as possible.
"The most prominent IS leaders are funding terrorist activities of the group from outside Iraq," expert Fadel Abu Reghif told the London-based Asharq al-Awsat, adding that Iraqi authorities must act immediately to arrest them and bring them to trial for their crimes.
Commenting on reports about the capture of the Islamic State’s so-called slaughter Abu Taha al Tunisi and nine of his lover companions in a security crackdown in Anbar province Sunday, Abu Reghif said, "Nobody can ignore the fact that 95 percent of IS leaders did not fight, but they preferred to escape and hide in different areas inside and outside Iraq."

Old Wally Jumblat is very good at seeing the bottom line, which is why his people have survived thus far in the maelstrom that is Lebanese politics.
[AnNahar] Progressive Socialist Party leader MP Walid Wally Jumblat ... Druze politician, head of the Progressive Socialist Party, who's been on every side in Leb at least four times. He'll sell you his friends for a dollar, but family comes higher because of shipping and handling... lamented Monday that Paleostinians in Gazoo have been "abandoned."
"The Paleostinian people in Gazoo have been abandoned amid the siege, shelling and sniper fire," Jumblat tweeted.
"As if there is no Arab League ...an organization of Arabic-speaking states with 22 member countries and four observers. The League tries to achieve Arab consensus on issues, which usually leaves them doing nothing but a bit of grimacing and mustache cursing... , international community, a so-called United Nations ...a formerly good idea gone bad... or anyone," he added.
"I salute the people of Gazoo and may God have mercy on the martyr Abdul Fattah Abdul Nabi and the rest of the deaders," Jumblat went on to say.
[AlAhram] Despite the decades-long ban by the Egyptian Coptic Church, 4,700 Egyptian Christians are planning to make their way to Jerusalem this year, an official at EgyptAir told Ahram Online on Monday.
"Around 800 pilgrims have already left from Cairo to Tel Aviv on Air Sinai starting from 29 March," the official said.
Each Holy Week and Easter, many of Egypt's Coptic Orthodox Christians aim to visit Jerusalem.
However, some people are alive only because it's illegal to kill them... a papal decree issued in 1979 by the late Pope Shenouda III forbade Coptic travel to the city in protest of the Israeli occupation.
The EgyptAir official explained that a total of 26 charter flights are planned to travel from Cairo to Tel Aviv over the next week, yet there was no statement on timing of the trips.
During his visit to Cairo in January 2018, Paleostinian President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... urged Arabs to visit Jerusalem.
"Do not leave us alone. Going to Jerusalem is not going to Israel and supporting Israel. It is supporting Paleostinians," he said at the al-Azhar International Conference in Support of Jerusalem.
"All reservations for this trip are done through the tourism agencies."
There has been a debate on whether travel to Jerusalem ‐ occupied by Israel in 1967 ‐ may divide Christians.
Some believe they should not be barred from the "blessing" of visiting the Holy City, while others see such visits as giving legitimicy to over 50 years of Israeli occupation.
Since the Camp David Accords were signed between Egypt and Israel in 1978, there have been no official travel restrictions, other than the Coptic Orthodox Church's decree.
The church continues to renew its committment to the 1979 decree with statements against the Israeli occupation of Paleostine.
The number of religious pilgrims to Jerusalem has increased over the last few years.
That’s nice. You continue calling names, and we’ll continue cutting funding — let’s see who gets tired first.
[BREITBART] The Times of Israel reports: The Paleostinian Authority on Sunday launched a scathing attack on the US Ambassador to the United Nations ...an organization which on balance has done more bad than good, with the good not done well and the bad done thoroughly... , Nikki Haley ...Trump administration's ambassador to the UN. First woman to serve as Governor of South Carolina, and the second Indian-American governor in the country, after Bobby Jindal of Louisiana. At the age of 39, Haley was the youngest governor in the U.S., a distinction formerly held by Jindal. She is a Republican, which really grates on the Dems... , dubbing her an "ambassador of animosity, hatred and dark ideology," after she blocked a UN condemnation of Israel.
The PA said that Haley was responsible for aborting a UN Security Council resolution condemning Israel for Friday’s deaths and injuries of Paleostinians during mass protests along the border between the Gazoo Strip and Israel. "The US ambassador insists on taking positions in support of the occupation and in defense of its crimes and violations," said a statement issued by the PA Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Ramallah.
Blaming Haley for adopting a "barefaced hostile position" against the Paleostinians, the ministry accused Haley of "blind bias in favor of Israel and its crimes."

[DAWN] Myanmar authorities have lured dozens of mainly Buddhist Bangladeshi tribal families to cross the border and resettle on land abandoned by fleeing Moslem Rohingya, officials said on Monday.
About 50 families from remote hill and forest areas on the Bangladesh side, attracted by offers of free land and food, have moved to Rakhine state in Myanmar ‐ the scene of a brutal army crackdown which prompted hundreds of thousands of Rohingya to flee.
The families from the ethnic Marma and Mro tribes have left their homes in the Bandarban hill district, local councillor Muing Swi Thwee told AFP.
He said 22 families departed from their villages in the Sangu forest reserve last month.
The families, mainly Buddhist but with some Christians, were being "lured by Myanmar" to Rakhine where they were given free land, citizenship and free food for five years, Muing Swi Thwee said.

[ALMASDARNEWS] Minister of State for Administrative Development Inaya Ezzeddine stated on Monday that the Israeli threats to launch an offensive on Leb were groundless.
"The threats of the Israeli enemy to strike Leb are nothing but words of the helpless and the frightened,= because those who are confident of their combat and their military capabilities do not need to kill and destroy," Ezzeddine stressed.
Ezzeddine, whose words came in the wake of a political ceremony in south Leb, added that "the equation of the people, army and resistance will defend Leb’s right to its land and sea."
"The Israeli threats against Leb are a call for murder and criminality, a fact that requires the prosecution of Israeli officials around the world, as they pose a threat to the regional and global peace," Ezzeddine concluded.
