[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] A court-ordered mental health evaluation found the man charged with killing 10 people at a Colorado King Soopers supermarket unfit to stand trial, but a judge granted prosecutors' request for a second competence evaluation.
The initial evaluation report was not released but, according to a filing by prosecutors last week, state experts provisionally diagnosed Ahmad Alissa,
...more fully Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa, the ISIS-curious, Trump-hating, untreated paranoid schizophrenic known wolf whose aggressive, infidel-hating Syrian refugee family did not bother to stop him from getting guns and running amok in a Jewish grocery store just before Passover. Mr. Al Issa would have preferred to shoot up a Trump rally the previous year, but the Covid shutdown meant the scheduled rallies were cancelled...
22, with an unspecified mental health condition that 'limit(s) his ability to meaningfully converse with others' and concluded that he is not currently able to assist his lawyers in defending him.
Alissa gave 'superficial responses' to questions about hypothetical legal situations which indicate a 'passive approach to his defense' and 'potential overreliance on his attorneys,' according to excerpts from the report included in the prosecution's motion seeking a second evaluation.

Since Colorado Liberals repealed the CO. Death Penalty in 2020. Now any murdering terrorist, Political Fanatic or person seeking fame, that is taken alive. Is only sentenced to FREE Taxpayer paid living housing, Cable TV, Food, HVAC, and FREE medical care for the rest of their natural lives.
A standard that FAR FAR exceeds the 12% (1 out of every 8+/-) of Colorado Citizens that are currently living in extreme poverty conditions now.
So let us hope KARMA quickly finds him in the Nut House and serves out justice 10 fold.

What nut houses? There are limited mental health beds for those being evaluated while they await trial, after which they are returned to jail with their medical prescription, and then the crazy wing in prison for those convicted — where they are handed the prescribed medication, but not required to take it. Some states have a “guilty but insane” plea instead of “innocent by reason of insanity”, but both send the accused to prison.

[KhaamaPress] Iran’s embassy based in Kabul in a Twitter post on Monday, October 11 said that they are willing to send humanitarian aids to the victims of the blast that targeted a mosque in Khan Abad port of Kunduz province.
The embassy said that they are sending a plane full of humanitarian aids to Kunduz province to the families of victims and those who were maimed in the earth-shattering kaboom.
The humanitarian aid will include medicines, health materials, and others.
The suicide kaboom which was conducted by ISIS-K took the lives of over 50 and maimed more than one hundred more on Friday, October 8.
The victims were all Shite Moslems.

[KhaamaPress] Pakistain’s Prime Minister Imran Khan ...aka The Great Khan, who isn't your heaviest-duty thinker, maybe not even among the top five... said that the US must engage with the Taliban ...mindless ferocity in a turban... to avert crisis and added that the country has no option but to support the Taliban regime in Afghanistan.
Imran Khan said that the failure of the state in Afghanistan will result in a humanitarian crisis in the country.
The Pak Premier made these statements in his interview with Middle East Eye on Monday, October 11.
Imran Khan said that unless the Americans take the lead, Pakistain will be worried that there will be chaos in Afghanistan and Pakistain will be affected the most.
"The world must engage with Afghanistan because if it pushes it away, within the Taliban movement there are hardliners, and it could easily go back to the Taliban of 2000 and that would be a disaster." Said Khan.
Khan also commented on potential sanctions on the Taliban saying that three-quarters of the Afghan national budget depended on foreign aid which means the imposition would result in a humanitarian crisis.
He also warned of a civil war in Afghanistan in case abandoned.

[Garowe] The United States will resume the al-Shabaab ...... the Islamic version of the old Somali warlord... war in Somalia after months of absence, in what could increase the odds of the Horn of Africa nation, which has struggled to contain the faceless myrmidons in as many years.
Al-Shabaab faceless myrmidons control huge sections of rural central and southern Somalia and have been fighting to topple the fragile UN-backed Somalia administration. The faceless myrmidons have managed to extort taxes from locals in the country.
Last week, Jubaland President Ahmed Madobe hosted a delegation from the US Africa Command, which has been instrumental in the fight against al-Shabaab. The US Africa Command had close to 700 soldiers in Somalia before withdrawal in January 2020.
Madobe and the US military officials discussed the "importance of cooperation in the fight against terrorism." US commander in charge of special operations in Somalia Colonel Thomas Sarrouf was among officers.
"The President of Somalia’s Jubbaland State, Ahmed Madobe has today received at the region’s State House in Kismayo ...a port city in the southern Lower Juba province of Somalia, at the extreme southern end of the country (always assuming Somalia can be called a country). It is the commercial capital of the autonomous Jubaland region.... US military officers in Somalia led by Col. Thomas Sarrouf and discussed strengthening security cooperation and the fight against terrorism, " state media reported.
Former President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and whatever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... withdrew the troops in January arguing that the move will help in " cost-cutting". The soldiers were, however, repositioned elsewhere within Kenya and Djibouti, where they are helping in the fight against al-Shabaab.
Before the withdrawal, Somalia politicians both in government and opposition challenged the move, arguing that it could erode gains made in the al-Shabaab war. The military was responsible for coordinating air strikes again al-Shabaab, significantly helping ground troops.
Further, the troops have been training Somalia's Special Forces commonly known as Danab. The Danab forces help in sophisticated operations within Somalia and have previously managed to liberate several towns that were under the krazed killers.
In 2020 alone, the US Africa Command managed to conduct close to 48 Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s in Somalia which left over 300 faceless myrmidons dead and others severely injured. The visit by top generals indicates the US is about to resume military operations in Somalia.

[SAHARAREPORTERS] Aformer Vice-Chancellor of the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Professor Daniel Saror has alleged that the insecurity Nigeria currently experiences did not come by accident.
Also according to him, Boko Haram ...Nigeerian Islamist group, formerly paying homage to al-Qaeda, then, when the money ran out, to the Islamic State, and headed by nutcase Abu Bakr Shekau. Once he exploded in a gunfight with ISWAP, many in the group surrendered to the govt and others went with their new overlords. The remainder are a shell of their former selves, stmbling glassy-eyed and lonely through the Sambisa Forest and the soothing waters of Lake Chad, asking themselves What is truth?, or maybe just I wonder what's for dinner? I hope it's not rhinocerous again! ... does not consist of miscreants.
He stressed that Boko Haram holy warriors are intelligent people who are highly connected to stakeholders in Nigeria and other countries in the world.
I have no idea what that means, but it’s as full of buzzwords as business consultant’s sales pitch.
The professor made the revelation on Sunday at the thanksgiving service organised to celebrate his 80th birthday in Makurdi, the Benue State capital, Daily Post reports.
Professor Saror explained that the insecurity in Benue and other parts of the country was brought by deliberate actions, describing it as a well-coordinated agenda to spread Islam across the country.
He said, "The insecurity we are experiencing in Benue and Nigeria today is not an accident. It is a planned programme. Boko Haram does not consist of miscreants. They are intelligent people; they are highly connected in Nigeria and other countries in the world.
"Their mission is simple: they want to conquer and Islamise the nation. The Jihadists that you hear about in the North West are also not miscreants. They are highly connected, highly motivated, and highly experienced in their own ideas and what they want. They want to spread the caliphate throughout Nigeria.
"The armed Fulani ... a peculiarly brutal tribe of Moslem herdsmen infesting Mali, Niger, Nigeria, and probably other places that are light on law and order and heavy on tribal identity... herdsmen and Boko Haram forces of Evil have contacts that extend to the Middle East, Asia, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. Fifteen of the nineteen WTC hijackers were Saudis, and most major jihadi commanders were Saudis, to include Osama bin Laden. Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman quietly folded that tent in 2016, doing terrible things to the guys running it, and has since been dragging the kingdom into the current century... among others."
He alleged that they are funded with billions of naira to execute the conquest agenda of the caliphate in the country.

[PJ] Multiculturalism is meeting reality once again as Afghan refugees are making their presence known in the countries that welcomed them, and the fun is just beginning. One place that has experienced the richness and vibrance of diversity is Scarborough, North Yorkshire, England, which is a popular vacation spot. It’s easy to see why: It’s on the Yorkshire Coast in a beautiful area, and when its architecturally stunning Grand Hotel was built in 1867, it was the largest hotel in Europe. The hotel still boasts numerous attractions. It is described on Tripadvisor as “one of the town’s landmark features and instantly recognisable on the skyline,” taking “pride of place overlooking the town’s harbour and South Bay.” The description continues: “Our location is ideal in Scarborough from which to enjoy beautiful sandy beaches, promenade walks and all that Scarborough has to offer, all within a short stroll away. LIVE entertainment is available every night with our dazzling cabaret shows featuring professional dancers and entertainers dressed in stunning costumes.” A newer feature of the hotel, however, 200 Afghan evacuees, has quickly changed perceptions of the hotel. The staff, when confronted with complaints, called the complainers “racist.” But that’s an all-purpose objection nowadays, so frequently employed as to be emptied of all meaning. It’s clear that hotel guests at the Grand Hotel had plenty to complain about.

And then put up the shutters of the shop.

[DW] Cologne ...the largest city in North Rhine-Westphalia and the fourth populated city in Germany.... 's mayor said allowing the muezzin call to be heard was "a sign of respect." Under a new agreement, the city's mosques will be able to broadcast their call to prayer for two years, subject to renewal.
Cologne's Central Mosque stands in the shadow of the city's cathedral
The Central Mosque of Cologne will be permitted to broadcast its call to prayer over loudspeakers on Friday afternoons, officials said on Monday.
All 35 mosques in the western German city will now be able to play the call for up to five minutes on Fridays between noon and 3 p.m. local time.
The two-year initiative, which is subject to renewal, comes as part of an agreement between the city of Cologne and the Moslem community to ease restrictions.
Mosques seeking to broadcast the call will have to comply with limits on the volume of their loudspeakers and notify neighbors in advance, the city said.
Cologne's Central Mosque , the largest in Germany, has been a flashpoint for anti-Moslem sentiment from far-right parties.
Having been partly financed by donations from the Ottoman Turkish government's religious affairs authority in Germany, DITIB, the mosque has also been a major source of debate since its construction. 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 there are in the White House, 400 more than in Versailles, and 325 more than Buckingham Palace, so you know who's really most important... even formally inaugurated the Mosque himself during a controversial visit to Germany in September 2018.
COLOGNE MAYOR DEFENDS DECISION
While the decision to allow the call to prayer was welcomed by the city's Moslem community, it drew criticism on social media. Over the weekend, the Mayor Henriette Reker defended the move.
"There has been much discussion over the project #Muezzin-Ruf (Moslem call). Cologne is the city of [religious] freedom and diversity," said Reker on Twitter.
"Those who arrive at the main train station are greeted by the cathedral and accompanied by church bells. Many Cologne residents are Moslems. Allowing the muezzin call is for me a sign of respect," she added.
Some 4.5 million Moslems live in Germany, making up the country's largest religious minority group.
Cologne, a western city of 1 million, has one of Germany’s biggest Muslim communities and about 35 mosques. Most Muslims initially came from Turkey as guest workers 60 years ago and then later brought their families.
Only few other Muslim houses of prayer across Germany, like in the western towns of Oer-Erkenschwick and Dueren, have been broadcasting the muezzin’s call for years, sometimes despite the protests of Christian neighbors.

The problem is that church bells also are heard — not just ringing out the call to prayer, but as I recall also the hours. We lived across the park from a church whose bells I found as charming as Mr. Wife found annoying.
[NYPOST] The woman arrested with her Navy nuclear engineer husband for allegedly selling secret information about nuclear submarines to an undercover FBI ...Formerly one of the world's premier criminal investigation organizations, something for a nation to be proud of. Now it's a political arm of the Deep State oligarchy that is willing to trump up charges, suppress evidence, or take out insurance policies come election time... agent appears to be vocally in support of Black Lives Matter and "resistance" movements on her social media.
Diana Toebee, who was arrested on Saturday alongside her husband, Jonathan, reportedly repeatedly posted in support of the Black Lives Matter movement on several social media pages reviewed by Fox News, including Facebook and Instagram.
On Twitter, an account appearing to belong to Toebee followed several "resistance" accounts including @NotAltWorld, an account for "The Original Alt National Park Service Resistance®," @altUSEPA, "The Unofficial ’Resistance®’ team of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency," and @RougeNASA, the self described "unofficial ’Resistance®’ team of NASA."
That account does not appear to have been active since 2017 and only has 26 tweets.
Jonathan Toebee and his wife, Diana, were arrested and charged with passing nuclear submarine secrets to a foreign government.
When it was active, the account retweeted several tweets criticizing former President Donald Trump ...Oh, noze! Not him!... , who had been inaugurated just days before.
"To The Rest Of The World: America Is Temporarily Out Of Order. We Hope To Restore Service Soon. #TheResistance® #MoslemBan #StandUpToTrump," one tweet the account shared read.
Posts from the Facebook account reportedly belonging to Toebee featured a photo of a transgender flag, profile photo of former presidential candidate Crooked Hillary Clinton ...former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, Conqueror of Benghazi, Heroine of Tuzla, formerly described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world, usually described by the rest of us as The Thing That Wouldn't Go Away.

In October 2016, she uploaded a profile picture that had the words "Women can stop Trump" over a photo of herself.
Public posts on the Facebook account are largely limited to profile and cover photo updates, as well as multiple donations she made to several fundraisers.
Arrested this weekend, Diana Toebee worked with Jonathan Toebee to pass along US nuclear secrets at various drop locations, where she acted as a lookout.
The 42-year-old engineer was caught when it turned out the foreign operative he thought he was dealing with was actually an FBI agent, according to a federal criminal complaint unsealed Sunday.

....I'm truly interested in finding out the identity of the Unnamed Nation, though it will probably be redacted unto the seventh generation.
Think about it - the Toebees thought they were hostile enough to appreciate access to some of the crown jewels of American military tech...but instead the Unnamed Nation handed it straight back to our security people and made it clear that they didn't want anything to do with this.
One other thing - the stories keep saying 'Navy nuclear engineer', to clarify: he IS a commissioned officer.
That sort of thing never goes over well with a Federal court. I suspect he and Aldrich Ames will have a lot to chat about, and a lot of time to do it in.

It’s been a while, Raj. I did a Name Link search in it — now added at the bottom of the post — and one of the articles that popped up said this:
UN Palmer Report on the 2010 Mavi Marmara incident, during which 9 Turkish 'activists' who tried to lynch Israeli commandoes who boarded the vessel in accordance with international maritime law, were killed.

Palmer Report is so unhinged and godawfully stupid that even lefties call it out:
The Atlantic's McKay Coppins called the Palmer Report "the publication of record for anti-Trump conspiracy nuts who don't care about the credibility of the record".
Journalist Glenn Greenwald of The Intercept wrote that the Palmer Report is "a classic Fake News site created by [...] a crazed fanatical follower of Hillary Clinton who got caught purposely disseminating fake news during the election". In 2017, George Zornick, writing for The Nation, described the Palmer Report as "churn[ing] out Russia-related fake news by the pixel load".
The Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank identified the Palmer Report as "part of a larger phenomenon that has already taken root online, where in some quarters full-blown cases of Trump Derangement Syndrome have already broken out." Various journalists have publicly discouraged individuals from sharing Palmer Report articles.
Political scientist Alan Wolfe wrote in 2019 that Trump's connection with Russia "has created a wide-open field for leftist conspiracy theorists to make one wild claim after another; nearly all of them...can be conveniently found on a website called the Palmer Report."
In a 2019 report from the NYU Stern Center for Business and Human Rights, the Palmer Report was described as a "left-leaning dubious-content site" where many of the articles "range from the unsubstantiated...to the sophomoric."[
[Jpost] The Israeli Air Force has asked the US Air Force to advance the acquisition of four out of eight tankers that are required for long-range missions, with two of them asked to be delivered immediately.
The US State Department approved the possible sale of up to eight KC-46 tanker aircraft and related equipment to Israel for an estimated cost of $2.4 billion last March, marking the first time that Washington has allowed Jerusalem to buy new tankers.
Israel was set to receive two of the Boeing-made planes by late 2023 and during former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s last visit to Washington, he raised the issue that two of the eight tankers be supplied in the next year.
But now, according to defense ministry sources, senior IAF officers have requested the supply be sped up and that four of the KC-46 tankers be supplied in the next two to three years.
Though the agreement has not yet been signed despite the IAF having selected the KC-46 as the fleet’s future tankers, source in the defense ministry have explained that the negotiation is still ongoing as there are “many details relating to the order that have yet to be completed before being signed.”
The Jerusalem Post has learned that one of the reason for the delay in signing the contract was that though the IAF had initially requested that two of the tankers earmarked for the USAF be swapped, they are now trying to have four tankers swapped instead of two.
Defense ministry officials have confirmed that they are hoping to get the final details and sign the contract soon.
According to sources, the call was made after Israel’s aging tanker fleet was grounded last year.
The KC-46 tankers, which will replace Israel’s Ram (Boeing 707) tanker aircraft that are required for long-range missions and nearing the age of 60.
Israel’s fleet of Ram planes, the number of which remains confidential, are former The new KC-46 tankers can refuel jets with 1,200 gallons of fuel per minute by its fly-by-wire 55-foot refueling boom. It also can have wing air refueling pods allowing three jets to be refueled at once within three to four minutes.
With a range of 11,830 km with the capacity to unload some 207,000 pounds of fuel, the KC-46 can refuel over 64 different types of aircraft.
All fuel tanks in the KC-46-which are purposely built for combat close to the battlefield-are fully inerted and are configured with ballistic armor. The plane also has IR countermeasures, RF warnings, threat avoidance systems, and NVIS lighting (Night Vision Imaging System) allowing the plane to land in complete darkness giving the massive plane full covert capabilities.
Israel is also able to add in indigenous electric warfare countermeasure systems.
With a need to keep ahead of increased threats in the Middle East, the Israeli Air Force is set to place orders on several new aircraft to upgrade its aging squadrons, including fighter jets and transport helicopters.
In November, Defense Ministry Director-General Amir Eshel warned that continued postponement of the deal undermines Israel’s security. He blamed the lack of a budget as being a major hurdle blocking its advancement.
The IDF “urgently” needs new air platforms, said the former Commander of the Israel Air Force, referring to Israel’s fleet of Re’em Boeing 707 tanker aircraft, the Ya’sur heavy-lift helicopters that are close to 50 years and fighter jets.
“There is no country in the world that flies platforms that are this old. To fly a refueler or a helicopter with more than 50 soldiers inside is not trivial. These are non-trivial risk levels. If God forbid something happens, what would we say to ourselves? Our operational and safety needs are paramount. There is no other way to present it.” civilian aircraft adapted for military uses such as aerial refueling for fighter jets, as well as its fleet of transport aircraft.
[IsraelTimes] Israel has issued permits that legalize the status of 442 undocumented Paleostinians in the West Bank and 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... on Monday, in the first mass approval of illegal residents in years, the Paleostinian Authority announced on Monday.
The Paleostinian Authority Civil Affairs Commission, which is formally charged with liaising with Israel, announced that the group consisted of Paleostinians whose families had failed to register them before they turned 16, thus making the process far more complicated.
The Israeli military’s liaison to the Paleostinians, widely known by its acronym COGAT, declined to comment. Defense Minister Benny Gantz’s office also declined a request for comment, although the announcement tracks with previously announced policy.
The Paleostinian Authority cannot issue valid identity cards without coordinating with Israel. In most cases, such as registering births and deaths, the process goes smoothly.
But a number of issues have proven particularly thorny, leaving thousands of Paleostinians without documents: family unification, in which Paleostinians bring spouses and children from abroad back to the West Bank and Gaza; Paleostinians seeking to change their official address from Gaza to the West Bank; and Paleostinians who failed to register by the age of 16.
Paleostinians and their spouses who remain in the West Bank despite lacking a legal ID card live tightly constrained lives, fearing deportation at every Israeli roadblock.
Tens of thousands of undocumented Paleostinians are thought to live in the West Bank, facing deportation or arrest if caught. The most common case is thought to be family unification. According to High Court rulings, Israel is not obligated to approve those requests, although it sometimes has authorized Paleostinian spouses as a humanitarian gesture or through agreements with the Paleostinian Authority.
During the 1990s, the Israeli government set a yearly quota for family unification approvals, peaking at around 4,000. But following the outbreak of the Second Intifada in 2000, Israel reduced ties with the Paleostinian Authority and effectively shut down the family unification process.
Israel last opened the issue as a goodwill gesture to the Paleostinian Authority in 2007, examining some 50,000 outstanding requests and approving 32,000, according to court filings.
But the government apparently never returned to the quota system, approving only five applications between 2010 and 2018. The Paleostinian Authority — in what some described as a protest of the freeze — also appeared to cease transferring requests at all, deepening the bureaucratic thicket.
Gantz and other center-left Israeli officials in the new government have vowed to strengthen the ailing Paleostinian Authority and minimize the impact of the conflict on Paleostinian daily life. Prime Minister Naftali Bennett also supports strengthening the PA and its economy, although he has ruled out working to establish an independent Paleostinian state.

Why not? Russia is simply another oriental despotism. Its relationship with the West is purely accidental.

Just tweaking The Big Guy.
These countries fear and loathe each other almost as much as they fear us. If we had even halfway aware and intelligent leaders we'd be doing everything in our power to turn them against each other -- esp Russia against China. There is no natural convergence of interest for Russia and China. They're natural rivals.

Russia is simply another oriental despotism. Its relationship with the West is purely accidental.
Nonsense. If Russia today is "despotic," then so is contemporary America. We do not have greater freedom of speech, or fairer elections, or stronger rule of law in our large cities and in Washington, than Russia does. They've become more free and more orderly in the last 25 years. They're people are living longer and their white population is increasing.
We're moving in the opposite direction: our longevity and our white fertility rate -- everywhere outside maybe Utah -- are both decreasing. Our elections are a farce. Rule of law is eroding.
We're moving down. Russia's moving up. At some point we and Russia will meet in the middle.
If Russia's an "oriental despotism," then the United Socialist States is becoming an occidental despotism. At minimum we should stop bashing them and start figuring out how to draw them into our ring of nations containing China and Iran.
Sticking our nose into Ukraine (and even Crimea for fuck's sake) was yet another idiotic American own goal, one of dozens, that our incompetent foreign-policy elites have committed these last 29 years.
#6
90% of the Russians' hostility toward us is due to our interference in Ukraine & Crimea, including the foolish sanctions that have achieved nothing -- nothing except making ordinary Russians' lives more difficult md making them hate us.
Before 2014, Russian public opinion toward the US was about 55-30 favorable vs unfavorable. Ditto regarding China.
After our botched intervention and the imposition of anti-Russian sanctions, Russian public opinion shifted to 81% UNFAVORABLE toward America and 81% favorable toward China. Overnight.
What a colossally stupid policy our Ukraine adventure was and is ... all so Victoria Nuland and the neo-con crew can have a few more orgasms and Soetoro's race-baiters can create a mythical white supremacist menace.
And so that the most corrupt American political family in history can line its pockets with payola from corrupt Ukrainian oligarchs. What a disaster. Utterly foolish.
