Mexico's president to lodge diplomatic protest against Texas truck inspections causing border delays
[FoxNews] Mexico’s national freight transport chamber said Sunday that 19,000 trucks were delayed at the border. The freight association claimed the delayed trucks were carrying about $1.9 billion in goods.

Bridge closures and train delays because of the influx of migrants crossing the border have also affected freight traffic in recent weeks.
Mexican choices have consequences, too.

The Grand Turk
The Porte Speaks: Turkey's Erdogan urges Israel to avoid indiscriminate attacks
[GEO.TV] 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...
has extended an offer to mediate between Israel and Paleostine, with a focus on bringing an end to the ongoing conflict.

Erdogan made the announcement during a presser held after a cabinet meeting in Ankara.

Erdogan stressed the significance of an independent and sovereign Paleostine, highlighting that regional peace hinges on its existence.

The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund...
is in the process of preparing humanitarian aid for 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 Hamas with 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...
as part of its commitment to assist in the crisis.

In a phone call with Israeli President Isaac Herzog, Erdogan appealed to Israel to halt its indiscriminate attacks on Paleostinian territories. He voiced his concern over the collective harm inflicted on Gaza's population, cautioning against further violence escalation in the region.

Erdogan also urged both sides involved in the conflict, including Hamas
...the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood,...
, to adhere to the ethical standards of warfare. He emphasised the necessity of responsible conduct during this critical period.

Engaging in urgent diplomatic efforts, Erdogan reached out to Paleostinian President the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas
...aka Abu Mazen, a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial. While no Yasser Arafat, he has his own brand of evil, just a little more lowercase....
and Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati, aiming to alleviate the escalating crisis.

#4  President-for-life/Sultan Recep Tayip Erdogan’s party is functionqlly the Muslim Brotherhood in Turkey, and for years has been openly supportive of Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood in the Palestinian Territories. As I recall, the senior levels of Hamas currently live in Turkey under the government’s protection, with only the executive management cadre and the henchmen being stuck in Gaza.

Government Corruption
Suspicion surrounds ex-Iran envoy Rob Malley after Israel attack: ‘Worst State Department scandal'
[NY Post] This POS and his damage was eagerly accepted in our corrupt post-Obama DOS
The Biden administration’s former special envoy to Iran, who was placed on leave earlier this year for allegedly mishandling classified material, should face "extensive scrutiny" for his "permissive" stance toward the Tehran regime after it aided Hamas
...a regional Iranian catspaw,...
and Hezbollah in carrying out terrorist attacks against Israel, critics said Monday.

"Rob Malley deserves extensive scrutiny — yesterday, today and tomorrow," Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) told The Post after the Wall Street Journal reported officers of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps planned and signed off on this weekend’s atrocity that killed at least 900.

"These reports could not be more concerning, and they hint at what could be the worst State Department scandal since Alger Hiss," Issa added.

"Malley and others created an incredibly permissive environment for Hamas, for Iran, to do all these things," added Gabriel Noronha, a former special adviser on 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 the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
at the State Department.

Noronha, who served under former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, said Malley and his negotiating team "purposefully funneled billions of dollars to [Iran] through lack of sanctions enforcement and provision of sanctions relief that has given them somewhere between $50 and $80 billion over the last two and a half years."

A senior House Republican aide told The Post that the cash influx followed an even more generous payout of $1.7 billion that the B.O. regime made to Iran in 2016, eventually contributing to Saturday’s attack that triggered the Jewish state’s first declaration of war in 50 years.

"Malley and others created an incredibly permissive environment for Hamas, for Iran to do all these things," Gabriel Noronha, a former special adviser on Iran at the State Department, told The Post.REUTERS

Noronha also noted the Biden administration had allowed for "an enormous deterrence failure" by undertaking just four operations against Iran-backed terror groups after allowing the regime and its proxies to carry out 83 attacks of their own against US forces.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin had revealed the muted US response to Iran-backed attacks in Senate testimony earlier this year.

On Saturday, Hamas holy warriors launched the largest-scale offensive against Israel since the 1973 Yom Kippur War, firing thousands of rockets into the Jewish state and engaging in a multi-front armed invasion to kill and capture civilians.

At least 900 Israelis have been killed, thousands maimed and approximately 150 taken hostage.

The corpse count includes 11 Americans, with President Biden admitting Monday afternoon that US citizens were "likely" among those kidnapped and held in 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 Hamas with 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...
Noronha pointed out that under the Trump administration, the US did not distinguish "between the Iranian regime killing Americans and the regime’s proxies, including Hamas and Hezbollah, killing Americans."

"Either way, we would treat that as attacks by the Iranian government itself — and respond accordingly," he said. "So now, [11] Americans, at least, are dead. Maybe a dozen-plus are being held hostage.

"There is a temptation by this administration — and they’ve been very clear — they’ve been trying to pretend this isn’t their problem," Noronha concluded. "And the reason they’re doing that is because they don’t want their Iran policy to get screwed."

Malley was quietly placed on unpaid leave in June for his handling of "protected material," but the State Department has refrained from sharing the nature of the allegations with Congress.

In August, an Iranian media outlet leaked a memo from Erin Smart, director of the Office of Personnel Security and Suitability in the Department’s Bureau of Diplomatic Security, outlining "serious security concerns" with his actions.

The FBI has an "ongoing" investigation into the matter, according to the State Department.

Last month, another trove of leaked files revealed that three top aides to Malley were tied to a secretive influence operation by Tehran’s Foreign Ministry, according to internal Iranian government correspondence and emails reviewed by Semafor.

Noronha called the allegations against Malley "deeply troubling" but said details were scarce about his alleged breaches of US security protocols.

Defense hawks have also criticized Malley, who served an adviser on Iran policy under former President Barack Obama
That’s just how white folks will do you....
, for recently surfaced remarks in support of Hamas and Hezbollah.

"It’s a mistake to only think of them in terms of their terrorist violence dimension," Malley said in a 2008 interview. "It has a charity organization, a social branch; it’s not something you can defeat militarily either and people need to understand that."

"There’s so much misinformation about them," Malley went on. "None of them are crazies. They may do things that we consider to belong to a different realm of rationality, but within their own system it’s often very logical."

Iraq
IRAQ (Actually Iran Shill) Threatens US
[GatewayPundit] In a recent meeting with Iraqi tribal leaders, Hadi al-Amiri, the leader and secretary-general of the Badr Organization, an Iranian-backed Shiite militia and political party based in Iraq, issued a stark warning to the United States.
Ummm... Been dere. Done dat.
He declared that Iraq would target the U.S. if it intervened alongside Israel against Palestinians, according to reports from Iraqi news media outlet Shafaq and Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA).
Uh huh. Words are easy.
Amiri emphasized that the new Iraq is firmly aligned with the Palestinian cause.

“The achievements in Palestine, which were beyond the reach of all Arab armies, are being realized. The new Iraq stands by the Palestinian cause, and we will not waver in our support,” he said.

He criticized other Arab leaders for abandoning the Palestinian cause, leaving only the Islamic revolution and resistance factions to support it.

“Today, it’s the will of the Palestinian people that prevails, and the Palestinian cause is now desired by the followers of Ahl al-Beit and religious authorities,” Amiri added.

Amiri also took the opportunity to laud the Hamas terrorists for their recent attacks against Israel.

“We proudly say that the Palestinian people have achieved a significant victory against the Zionist enemy,” he said. “No one could have imagined that Palestine would achieve this victory against the Zionist entity, and the failure of Zionist intelligence.”

The most striking part of Amiri’s speech was his explicit warning to the United States. He stressed that Iraqis, especially those who are part of the 1920 Revolution, must support the legitimate Palestinian cause wholeheartedly. He warned that if “the United States intervenes in Palestine, we will intervene and have no hesitation in targeting.”

IRNA reported that “American forces’ bases in the region would become legitimate targets for Resistance.”

The foreign ministers of Iran and Iraq have urgently requested a meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to address the unfolding situation in Palestine, amid ongoing Israeli airstrikes on the Gaza Strip, Tasnim News Agency Reported.

UN chief distressed by Israeli blockade of Gaza

He was the Prime Minister of Portugal from 1995 to 2002 and was the Secretary-General of the Socialist Party from 1992 to 2002. He served as President of the Socialist International from 1999 to 2005. In both a 2012 and 2014 poll, the Portuguese public ranked him as the best Prime Minister of the previous 30 years...

Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant announced the decision of the blockade after the regime was responded to with a heavy blow by Hamas
...a regional Iranian catspaw,...
early Saturday.

"No electricity, no food, no water, no gas — it's all closed," the minister said while imposing the blockade.

According to the latest media reports, at least 1,000 Israelis have been killed, while Paleostine's health ministry has put the tally of martyred Gazooks at 687, and the number of injured at 3,727.

The UN chief while speaking to the journalists said that "the humanitarian situation in Gaza was extremely dire before these hostilities," adding that "now it will only deteriorate exponentially."

Paleostinians in the impoverished coastal territory braced for what many feared would be a massive Israeli ground attack aiming to defeat Hamas and liberate hostages.

"This most recent violence does not come in a vacuum," Guterres stressed, adding that "the reality is that it grows out of a long-standing conflict, with a 56-year-long occupation and no political end in sight."

Remember that the people of Gaza elected Hamas to govern them, and the siege is the result of their preference of Hamas to the PLO.

It’s time to stop being cute and just admit that this generation of totalitarian genocidaires differs from the Nazi generation of totalitarian genocidaires only in terms of the colour of their shirts — and it is more important for you to posture than to protect this generation of Jews from the fate of that previous generation of Jews.

[National Security Archive] Washington, D.C., June 7, 2021 — On June 7, 1981, 40 years ago today, Israel attacked and partially destroyed Iraq’s Osirak nuclear research reactor at Tuwaitha, using U.S. supplied F-15 and F-16 aircraft to carry out the attack. Ten Iraqi soldiers and one French engineer were killed during the airstrike. Apparently, the Israeli raid took President Ronald Reagan and his advisers completely by surprise, yet their predecessors, including President Jimmy Carter, were aware of the strong possibility of an attack.

As early as July 1980, U.S. Ambassador Sam Lewis warned Secretary of State Edmund Muskie and President Carter in an eyes-only telegram that his meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Begin had led him to conclude that the Israelis might undertake "preemptive strikes with conventional weapons... regardless of the awesome consequences of such action." Later, Lewis suggested that information on this and other discussions with Begin did not reach the Reagan administration, though more needs to be learned about the sources for this gap in "institutional memory."

According to Lewis’s messages, the Israelis were particularly worried about French and Italian aid to the Iraqi nuclear program and in a briefing to Begin in December 1980 Lewis assured him that we "are taking widespread concern about the Iran-Iraq war to press Italy and France to reassess their nuclear cooperation with Iraq." Whether the Israelis were told about secret French measures to prevent an Iraqi weapons program is unclear, but Lewis warned Begin that "precipitate action against Iraq’s nuclear installations would be a severe setback to prospects for Middle East peace." Indeed, the attack had a strongly negative impact on Israel’s image in the Arab world and elsewhere.

The reactor had been purchased from France under a bilateral agreement that it would be used for peaceful purposes. The research facility was also subject to International Atomic Energy Agency safeguards. Israel asserted that Iraq was on the brink of developing a nuclear weapons capability and justified the attack as an act of self-defense. Iraq insisted that its reactor program was peaceful, and France said that the reactor’s design features and the precautionary procedures it had implemented insured that the Osirak reactor could never be used in the production of nuclear weapons.

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
IRGC Leader: US Cannot Save 'Israel' after Operation Al-Aqsa Flood
[ENGLISH.ALMANAR.LB] Iran’s IRGC Leader, Major General Hossein Salami, has declared that ’Israel’ can no longer revel in their former arrogance and that their time of insolence has come to an end.

Salami stated that the "heroic Paleostinians" have been fearless in their pursuit and capture of Israeli occupation soldiers and that ’Israel’ is no longer capable of deceiving the world with their slander and lies.

Salami also praised the success of Operation al-Aqsa Flood, carried out by the Paleostinian Resistance®, which resulted in heavy losses for the Israeli occupation.

During his speech in the Hamadan governorate, he declared that today marks the end of the occupation and its aggression, and that the United States can no longer save ’Israel’.

In addition, Salami emphasized that the United States has a weak backbone, while God is the resistance’s backbone. He also stated that 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 the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
is equipped with state-of-the-art military equipment and that readiness for martyrdom and the school of martyrdom are essential factors in winning any war.

Iran Warns of Crushing Response to Israeli Threats
[ENGLISH.ALMANAR.LB] The spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry cautioned the Zionist regime that any act of aggression against the Islamic Theocratic Republic would trigger a devastating response.

Speaking to news hounds at a weekly presser on Monday, Nasser Kanaani called for an emergency meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation to drum up international political and spiritual support for the Paleostinian nation against the Zionist regime’s atrocities.

He emphasized that the Paleostinian nation, whose rights have been violated by the Israeli regime for over 75 years, has a right to employ its capabilities to defend itself and ward off acts of aggression.

The front man described the al-Aqsa Storm operation outside the 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 as a legitimate right of Paleostinians.

Dismissing the Israeli threats against Iran, Kanaani warned that any "stupid action" by the Zionists would draw Iran’s devastating response.

"The parties that issue threats against 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 the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
must be mindful of their legal responsibilities. Such remarks result in accountability and they should bear in mind that Iran is never constricted in defending its rights," the front man underlined, noting that Iran’s responses have always made the aggressors regret their move.

He also lashed out at the supporters of the Israeli regime for portraying the Zionists as the oppressed, ignoring the violations of the rights of Paleostinians, and standing by the aggressors against the Paleostinian people.

On Saturday morning, the Paleostinian fighters launched a hybrid surprise operation outside Gaza after Israeli settlers stormed the al-Aqsa Mosque compound in recent days and a record number of Paleostinians were killed by Israel in recent months.

The Zionist regime has responded by pounding the besieged Gaza Strip after formally declaring war against the Paleostinian Hamas, a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth", group. Its military says some 100,000 reserve troops have amassed near Gaza.

The latest corpse count stands at 413 Paleostinians, according to health officials, and more than 700 Israelis, according to media reports.
