[FoxNews] Rep. Troy Nehls, R-Texas, says he thinks the new border wall construction is a ‘great idea’
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has begun taking matters into his own hands, installing makeshift border walls created from repurposed shipping containers in strategic locations where migrants are likely to cross.
Rep. Troy Nehls, R-Texas, who previously served as a sheriff in the Rio Grande Valley for eight years, called the new border structures "a great idea" Thursday on "Fox & Friends."
"It’s a tool that the governor is using to try to help slow down, curb this invasion, this invasion that we’re seeing at our southern border," said Nehls.
Nehls described the border wall construction as a "defensive position" to "channel" migrants into areas with larger law enforcement and Border Patrol presences.
"We have 1,250 miles of border in Texas. That’s a lot of area to cover and we’re doing the federal government’s job for them because they refuse to do it on their own," Nehls added.
Nehls said the current circumstances at the border are costing Texans billions of dollars.
"We begin dropping these large containers that you see on 18 wheelers, you also see on these ships that are going across the ocean," Abbott said. "We’re dropping them down on locations that could be crossings that would be used by these caravans to serve as a blockade to prevent them from coming across the border.
Abbott told Carlson that he has also dispatched 6,500 National Guard and DPS troopers to the border to contain the surge in migrant caravans crossing into the U.S.
The agents have been tasked with identifying possible points of entry and installing razor wire to deter those who wish to enter illegally, he explained.
[IsraelTimes] The August 29 US dronezap in Kabul that killed 10 Afghan civilians was a tragic mistake but did not violate any laws, the Pentagon’s inspector general says after an investigation.
"The investigation found no violation of law, including the Law of War. Execution errors combined with confirmation bias and communication breakdowns led to regrettable civilian casualties," Lieutenant General Sami Said, the inspector general, says in a report.
[KhaamaPress] Afghanistan’s Journalists Safety Committee in its latest report indicated that 12 journalists have been killed and 230 more have been conducted violence against during the past year in Afghanistan.
The report covers months from the last November until November 2021.
Afghanistan’s Journalists Safety Committee in its report says that the violence against journalists includes beating, threatening, and disparagement.
The report was released on the occasion of International Day to end Impunity for Crimes against journalists on Tuesday, November 2.
As per the report, one journalist has been killed and 67 more have been committed violence against only after the Taliban ...Arabic for students... takeover on August 15.
The committee has asked for the creation of a special mechanism for the safety of journalists and addressing violence in the particular beating of journalists in Afghanistan.
Afghan journalists have been complaining that the cases of beating, insulting, and violence against them have risen since the Taliban takeover and the freedom of media and access to information has also been curtailed significantly.
[AlAhram] Libyan authorities and the United Nations ...an idea whose time has gone... ' migration agency on Wednesday repatriated 91 migrants colonists to Niger, mainly women and young children, in a rare humanitarian flight.
"Today we facilitated a flight with the International Organization for Migration for the voluntary departure of 91 migrants colonists," said Lieutenant Colonel Hussein Amin al-Terki, responsible for returns of irregular migrants colonists through Misrata airport.
The flight, only the second since such trips were suspended two years ago, included 60 children, 25 women and six men, he told AFP.
The IOM late last month flew 127 Gambia ... The Gambia is actually surrounded by The Senegal on all sides but its west coast. It has a population of about 1.7 million. The difference between the two is that in colonial days Senegal was ruled by La Belle France and The Gambia (so-called because there's only one of it, unlike Guinea, of which there are the Republic of Guinea, Equatorial Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, New Guinea, the English coin in circulation between 1663 and 1813, and Guyana, which sounds like it should be another one) was ruled by Britain... ns back to their home country in the first flight since the suspension ended.
Libya plunged into a decade of violence following the fall and killing of dictator Moamer Qadaffy in a 2011 uprising, and the resulting lawlessness led to a surge in sub-Saharan African migrants colonists using its shores for desperate bids to reach Europe. Many are intercepted en route by the Libyan coastguard, backed by European states, and returned to Libyan detention centers.

Nice. So there's a precedent now for the Cookie Pushers to repatriate millions of colonists out of Europe / the US back to their home countries.... Finally, our billions in annual UN contributions Danegeld can be put to good use.

[LIBYAREVIEW] On Tuesday, the Internal Security Agency (ISA) members at Libya’s Misrata Airport thwarted an attempt to smuggle €252,400 Euros on an Afriqiyah Airways flight bound for The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund... .The agency explained that the currency was seized, from two Libyan nationals. He was in possession of €143,400 euros, and with the other holding $109,000 dollars.
The agency said that it had taken legal measures against them, and referred to the competent authorities. It confirmed that it was "ready and vigilant" to stop smugglers.
Last month, the ISA thwarted two smuggling operations of €378,000 euros, at Mitiga Airport in 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... , and Misrata.
During the inspection of passengers’ bags at Mitiga International Airport, the ISA discovered €179,200 euros with passengers travelling on flight 970 bound for Istanbul," the ISA said in a statement.
Two Libyans in their thirties were arrested, and legal measures were taken against them, the statement noted
In the second operation, the coppers at Misrata International Airport arrested three Libyans with an estimated €198,900 euros also travelling to Turkey.
On 7 October, the Customs Department at Misrata Airport managed to thwart an attempt to smuggle €3.720 million euros (22 million LYD) to Turkey.
In a statement, the department explained that the money was hidden in the bags of four passengers aged between 21 to 45 years.

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Colombian authorities are focused on breaking up the Clan del Golfo gang - whose network extends to 28 countries around the world - after the capture of the group’s leader late last month, the country’s top cop said on Wednesday.Dairo Antonio Usuga, alias "Otoniel," was the country’s most-wanted drug lord until he was detained in the northern jungle region of Uraba, in what President Ivan Duque said was the hardest recent blow to drug trafficking.
Usuga’s former organization has alliances with five international cartels and mafia groups to distribute 20 tons of cocaine per month, General Jorge Luis Vargas, the director of the national police, told journalists.
"Five mafias and international cartels are the principals with whom the Clan del Golfo traffics: Jalisco Nueva Generacion and Sinaloa in Mexico, the Calabresa and Siciliana mafias in Italia and the Balkan networks," Vargas said.
Usuga was laundering the Clan’s money with businesspeople of Lebanese, Arab and Israeli origin, Vargas said, without giving details.
"We have identified 28 countries" where cocaine is sent by the group, Vargas said.
Besides regular routes to the United States through Central America, the Clan sends the narcotic to Belgium, Spain, the Netherlands, Germany, La Belle France, Ireland, Britannia, Italia, Albania and Ukraine.
The group has connection as far afield as Iran, China, Australia and the United Arab Emirates, Vargas said.
"It is not common that one organization, and especially a Colombian one, traffics to those countries."
The government has said Otoniel’s extradition to the United States on drug trafficking charges is a priority, but Vargas did not give a date for the procedure.
Analysts say Usuga’s arrest could break the Clan into small groups, cause an internal war or lead groups like the National Liberation Army rebels to attempt a takeover but is unlikely to affect drug shipments.
The jails in Jammu and Kashmir have over the years become breeding grounds and radicalisation takes place in a big way before newer recruits are produced in jails itself.
[OneIndia] In the most recent development, a senior prison officer and a school principal have been sacked for working with Lions of Islam 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.... After investigation suggested that these persons had terror links, Deputy Superintendent of Jails in the Union Territory, Feroz Ahmad Lone, and government school principal Javid Ahmad Shah were sacked.
The development comes a month after the Jammu and Kashmir government sacked six of its employees for having terror links. The probe revealed that Lone was working with Riyaz Naikoo, a terrorist of the Hizbul Mujahideen Continued on Page 49

the majority of Americans, conservatives and liberals wants the elimination of Israel
A minority of conservatives and the noisier Progressives, certainly. Possibly even a majority of liberals, but liberals are about a third of adult American citizens, so even a majority of that group is still a minority of Americans.
[An Nahar] Two major delivery companies have canceled or drastically scaled back their services between 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... and Lebanon Hezbollahstan ...In 2020 Hezbollahblew up a considerable portion of Beirut and many of its inhabitants when its ammonium nitrate facility exploded. They blamed it on... somebody else. It wasn't them though. Trust them on that. And it ain't never coming to trial... , employees said on Wednesday, following a major diplomatic row between the two countries.DHL has stopped inbound and outbound shipments between the two countries, a company employee, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told AFP.
An email seen by AFP told staff the decision was made "with immediate effect" on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, ...back at the fist fight, Jake ducked another roundhouse, then parried with his left, then with his right, finally with his chin... an employee at FedEx's call center in Saudi Arabia said all shipments between the two countries apart from documents had been stopped, calling it "a new order from the company."
On Friday, Saudi Arabia gave Lebanon's ambassador 48 hours to leave, recalled its envoy from Beirut and suspended all imports from Lebanon.
Bahrain and Kuwait quickly followed with similar measures, and the United Arab Emirates on Saturday recalled its diplomats from Beirut in "solidarity" with Riyadh.
Saudi authorities said the measures were taken after "insulting" remarks made by Lebanese Information Minister George Kordahi and due to the influence of Lebanon's Iran-backed Hizbullah ...Party of God, a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran. Hizbullah refers to itself as The Resistance and purports to defend Leb against Israel, with whom it has started and lost one disastrous war to date, though it did claim victory... In an interview recorded in August and aired last week, Kordahi said Iran-backed Iran's Houthi sock puppets ...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him... s in Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of... were "defending themselves... against an external aggression" by a Saudi-led military coalition.
A Saudi-led military coalition that has included the UAE and Bahrain intervened to prop up the Yemeni government in 2015 after Huthis seized the capital Sanaa in 2014.
Kordahi's comments sparked angry rebukes from Saudi Arabia and its allies, further worsening diplomatic ties that have weakened significantly in recent years over the growing influence in Lebanon of Hizbullah, which is viewed by the kingdom as a "terrorist" group.
On Sunday, Saudi Arabia said dealing with Beirut was "pointless" due to Hizbullah's "dominance."
The row is a fresh blow to Lebanon, a country in financial and political turmoil where a fragile government is struggling to secure international aid, particularly from wealthy Arab powers.

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.
