Down an alley in old Vietnam,
In the bag, Bill examined a ham.
It was saggin', but still...
Could this dragon be... "Lil?"
"We come long way from Shanghai, by damn."
PASSPORT OFFICES REOPEN BUT RUMORS PERSIST THAT ONLY TALIBAN FAITHFUL BEING SERVED – While the Taliban regime seemed proud to announce that the Passport Directorate had overcome several ‘technical difficulties’ to finally reopen, those who have long waited for their passports to be processed say the offices are focused primarily on serving Taliban security forces personnel and other Taliban supporters. Sources provided photos of personnel stationed inside two passport offices are rumored to depict special personnel who have been placed in the offices to assist in filling in the forms for those among the Taliban who can neither read nor write. An unconfirmed report suggesting that European countries would not issue Schengen visas to Afghan citizens may be in response to the rumors.
IRANIAN VISA PROGRAM SUSPENDED IN HERAT – Residents of Herat and surrounding communities are clamoring for the Iranian Consulate to recommence issuing medical, student, and tourist visas. The Consulate had ceased issuing all but business visas nearly two months ago. The stoppage was reportedly in response to a Taliban decision to close an agency that assisted people to get their visas. Sources had suggested at the time the facility was closed after Iran asked the Taliban to implement policies to slow the flood of refugees to Iran. Currently, local Taliban officials are meeting with the Consul General of Iran in Herat to reopen the process.
RUSSIAN ENVOY TO AFGHANISTAN AGAIN IMPLICATES THE US IN SUPPORT FOR DAESH, CLAIMS AFGHANISTAN RESERVES ARE BEING HELD AS BLACKMAIL – Zamir Kabulov, the Russian Presidential envoy for Afghanistan, has again tried to tie the United States to ISIS-K activities in Afghanistan and claims Russia has proof of US involvement. Kabulov, who has been described as being one of the ‘bluntest knives’ in Putin’s diplomatic drawer made several fantastic claims to media officials leveled at the US. A source within the Ministry of the Interior said that most of the Taliban leadership does not believe such claims privately but will not contradict Russia as it suits their needs at the moment.
2 ADDITIONAL ISIS-K MEMBERS REPUTEDLY ARRESTED IN POLICE DISTRICT 9 – A source said that, after the clash between Taliban and ISIS-K forces in Police District 6, evidence collected near the scene led Ministry of the Interior agents to an apartment in Police District 9. Local eyewitnesses say 3 Taliban security vehicles pulled up to the apartment and ‘men’ (presumably GDI agents) led 2 unidentified people out of the building and into the vehicles. The source said that more intelligence was gained from this arrest and that counter-terrorism officials believe that 2 operational cells are currently in Kabul with a total of approximately 13 ISIS-K members.
NEXT 24 HOURS
ISIS-K SECURITY OPERATIONS TO CONTINUE – After two successful security operations provided critical intelligence to the Taliban, further confrontations are expected in Kabul. While sources could not provide information on locations that were to be the focus of surveillance operations, they were confident that at least 2 ISIS-K cells are in the city and that Ministry of the Interior agents had narrowed their searches down to three unnamed Police Districts.
[ShabelleMedia] At the request of the Federal Government of Somalia and in support of Somali National Army engagements against al-Shabaab ...... the personification of Somali state failure... , U.S. Africa Command conducted a collective self-defense strike on Jan. 20, 2023.
The strike occurred approximately 260 km northeast of Mogadishu near Galcad, Somalia where Somalia National Army forces were engaged in heavy fighting following a complex, extended, intense attack by more than 100 al-Shabaab fighters.
The combined actions by partner forces on the ground and the collective self-defense strike are estimated to have resulted in three destroyed vehicles and approximately thirty al-Shabaab Lions of Islam killed.
Given the remote location of the fighting, the command assesses that no civilians were maimed or killed.
The U.S. is one of several countries providing support to the Federal Government of Somalia in its ongoing campaign to disrupt, degrade and defeat terrorist groups. Rooting out extremism ultimately requires intervention beyond traditional military means, leveraging U.S. and partner efforts to support effective governance, promote stabilization and economic development, and resolve ongoing conflicts.
U.S. Africa Command is the defense arm of the U.S. whole-of-government approach with African partners — diplomacy, development, and defense. This three-pronged, or "3D" approach aims to increase cooperation and support for "partner-led, U.S.-enabled" solutions to shared security challenges, including violent mostly peaceful extremism or terrorism. All kinetic operations conducted and supported by U.S. Africa Command are done in coordination with the Federal Government of Somalia.
Somalia remains central to stability and security in all of East Africa. U.S. Africa Command’s forces will continue training, advising, and equipping partner forces to help give them the tools they need to defeat al-Shabaab, the largest and most deadly al-Qaeda network in the world.
The US Africa Command has confirmed eliminating over 30 Al-Shabaab militants in the latest confrontation, a figure which corroborates data given by the Somali National Army [SNA] following the deadly ambush at Gal'ad town on Friday morning which targeted an army base.
The Somali government confirmed the attack shortly after the incident in Gal'ad town, noting that over 30 militants were killed and 5 armoured vehicles used by the terrorists recovered. The government also announced the death of Major Hassan Osman Mohamed alias Hassan Tuure, who was the deputy commander of the Danab Special forces.
Seven other soldiers were killed during the raid which was activated moments after the Al-Shabaab had technically pulled out of the town, paving way for the entry of the soldiers, who announced a takeover of the strategic town along with Haradhere, which were major income earners for Al-Shabaab.
In a statement, the US Africa Command said the army managed to kill over 30 militants after they waged the attack at Gal'ad town, noting that three vehicles were destroyed in a new “collective self-defense airstrike” conducted on January 20 following the militant group’s complex attack on Somali forces.
Al-Shabaab’s complex, extended, intense attack on Galcad was carried out by more than 100 al-Shabaab fighters, the US military reported. It’s unclear how many Somali soldiers were at the base at the time of the attack. The Somali government confirmed that 7 soldiers were killed in the attack, adding that Al-Shabaab lost over 100 fighters.
The Al-Shabaab militants separately claimed they managed to kill over 156 Somali National Army soldiers, adding that 45 armoured vehicles were confiscated from the government troops. The militants went to display the confiscated vehicles at a location that was not immediately disclosed.
In most instances, the US Africa Command works closely with the Danab Special forces, who are trained and equipped by the Americans. Danab Special Forces have been working closely with the US Africa Command, and have been conducting operations in the last five months within central Somalia and parts of southern Somalia.
[FoxBusinessNews] 'No Fly' list leaked by hacker reportedly contains 1.5 million entries and includes notable names linked to terrorist activities.
A foreign hacker obtained an old copy of the U.S. government's Terrorist Screening Database and "no fly" list from an unsecured server belonging to a commercial airline.
The Swiss hacker known as "maia arson crimew" blogged Thursday that she discovered the Transportation Security Administration "no fly" list from 2019 and a trove of data belonging to CommuteAir on an unsecured Amazon Web Services cloud server used by the airline.
Wasn’t there something about the DoD using them? I seem to recall Amazon staff being very upset at the idea.
The hacker told The Daily Dot the list appeared to have more than 1.5 million entries. The data reportedly included names and birthdates of various individuals who have been barred from air travel by the government due to suspected or known ties to terrorist organizations. The Daily Dot reported that the list contains multiple aliases, so the number of unique individuals on the list is far less at 1.5 million.
Noteworthy individuals reported to be on the list include Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout, who was recently freed by the Biden administration in exchange for WNBA star Brittney Griner, and suspected members of the IRA and others, according to The Daily Dot.
"It’s just crazy to me how big that terrorism screening database is, and yet there is still very clear trends towards almost exclusively Arabic and Russian sounding names throughout the million entries," crimew told the outlet. Imagine that...
Reached for comment, a TSA spokesman said the agency is "aware of a potential cybersecurity incident, and we are investigating in coordination with our federal partners."
In a statement to FOX Business, CommuteAir confirmed the legitimacy of the hacked "no fly" list and data that contained private information about the company's employees.
"CommuteAir was notified by a member of the security research community who identified a misconfigured development server," said Erik Kane, corporate communications manager for CommuteAir. "The researcher accessed files, including an outdated 2019 version of the federal no-fly list that included first and last name and date of birth. Additionally, through information found on the server, the researcher discovered access to a database containing personal identifiable information of CommuteAir employees.
"Based on our initial investigation, no customer data was exposed," Kane added. "CommuteAir immediately took the affected server offline and started an investigation to determine the extent of data access. CommuteAir has reported the data exposure to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and also notified its employees."
CommuteAir is a regional airline founded in 1989 and based in Ohio. The company operates with hubs in Denver, Houston and Washington Dulles and operates more than 1,600 weekly flights to over 75 U.S. destinations and three in Mexico.
According to crimew's Wikipedia page, which the hacker maintains is accurate, she was indicted by a grand jury in the United States in March 2021 on criminal charges related to her alleged hacking activity between 2019 and 2021. Her Twitter bio describes her as "indicted hacktivist/security researcher, artist, mentally ill enby polyam trans lesbian anarchist kitten (θΔ), 23 years old." Indicted but no action taken? Til now?

So Victor Bout can fly in America if he gets his birthday adjusted on his passport. Pretty high tech.

It could be easily defeated anyway. When I was younger my partying buddy was a 17 year chick whose older look alike sister would let her use her ID. Now that is what you call family.
Useful background related to this story from last week.
[ZH] The Syrian national, who has not been identified, faces allegations he led the terror group’s security services before fleeing to Europe to claim refuge...
A Syrian asylum seeker was arrested in the Netherlands on Tuesday on suspicion of acting as one of the Islamic State’s top security chiefs during the terror cell’s infamous rise to power in the Middle East.
The 37-year-old man was arrested in the village of Arkel, approximately 40 kilometers east of Rotterdam, where he had resided since entering the Netherlands and claiming asylum back in 2019.
The suspect is believed to have been in a senior position in the security services of both the Islamic State and, prior to this, Jabhat al-Nusra, another proscribed Salafist jihadist terror group, according to the Dutch Public Prosecution Service (OM).
Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf highlighted two other examples of jihadi leaders slipping into the country among the many thousands of Syrian refugees, highlighting Europe’s incredibly lax screening processes overwhelmed by the numbers who have and are still arriving from the Middle East.
One example the newspaper cites is that of Aziz al-H., known as “Balie jihadi” who entered the Netherlands in September 2017 under false papers and lived the high life in Amsterdam for over a year. Fellow Syrians recognized him as a terrorist ringleader once he started turning up at a debate center in Amsterdam, and Aziz was subsequently arrested by authorities. He was sentenced to 16 years in prison.
Another example involved a Syrian national arrested in Kapelle, Zeeland, in 2019. He had been leading an inconspicuous life as a bus driver before evidence was presented to authorities showing his personal involvement in the execution of a Syrian colonel on the banks of the Euphrates River. He was sentenced to 20 years’ imprisonment.
Governor should have acted before hand by calling forth the militia and to bring at least 200 rounds and three days hard rations with them. Noting that the militia is not highly skilled in 'civil' affairs, but does know how to shoot.

Having spoke with a close person that works a Atlanta Metro area Fire Dept. (not stupid, ain't saying which county FD due to the Metro LSD vindictive politics of the areas)
His FD station crews and other stations Fire and EMS crews have experienced various levels of domestic terrorism, vandalism, and outright physical assaults responding to BLM / ANTI-FA set arson & crime scenes.
A few FD stations in the metro area being used by GA State SWAT teams to stage, and deploy raids against these groups using unmarked confiscated vehicles.
As we have already seen from arrest records.
A Majority of these Radicals are IMPORTS from Outside LSD states locations.
In short, they crossed multiple state lines to commit terrorist acts. Can anyone say where is the FBI Anti-terrorist Teams?
So unless these terrorists are Uber rich, then someone or some Anti-USA political interest group is funding their subversive actives.
Gov. Kemp has made it very clear.
This ends and end soon.
Something Buck-tooth Ms. Abrams surely would never have done.

While shotguns are effective to a degree, I have landed on miniguns as the tool of choice. We must treat insurrectionists as they present. No kid gloves. Front loaders as backup/cleanup.
Sounds harsh? We are hip deep in harsh.

^ at the same time go after the funding. I'm sure we know who's bankrolling this.. Cough Soros..snort If only we had the will to make it stop. I'm sure we could convince one of the local Cartel member gangs that this is bad for business.
I bet the nonsense would ratchet down after a few headless bodies show up.

I guess the authorities could use geo location techniques, comb social media and pressure credit card companies to determine who attended the riot. Let’s see if they do it.

Watch the interplay of local, state and fed LE. So far, Atlanta seems to want to follow the Portland OR model but Kemp doesn't look like he's playing along.

/\ Lots of high-end corporate HQ downtown. Kemp may have received the memo:

^ No doubt, but we've seen this model before on the West Coast. Little changes - the big players move out as promised, and still nothing changes. What is left are small business with BLM signs in their windows which serve to create a false sense of solidarity when all that is really left is just fear.

In case some of you missed it.
Look closely at the printed up No Cop City" signs, that the protesters are holding up" on the 11 Alive video at 2M:23 sec.. .
At the bottom of the signs it clearly states
Party for Socialism and Liberation
Which might answer the question of whom is funding these radicals.
Does the name SOROS come to mind, along with a few other groups?
#25
Party for Socialism and Liberation is a group formed about 15 years ago in San Francisco (surprise). Tied to US Communist Party, various Marxists groups, some Socialist groups.
Ran Presidential candidates in every election since 2008. The list of groups they hate is pretty long but it includes the WHO, World Bank, International Monetary Fund and some other institutions. Of course they also hate Israel, defended China's destruction of the Hong Kong independence and support North Korea.

Nothing like the effect of old fashioned artillery, though.

Ducey was a squish. He could have started that project sooner. Better yet, he could have concentrated instead on cleaning up Arizona's election mess, but he kept his hands off that.

We are letting Biden and the Democrats make our children's future one of great poverty and crime be giving away their birthrights to an invasion.
Worst case numbers say something North of SIX Million new illegals admitted in 2 years, and volume is increasing. The net cost of each illegal after they pay any taxes is estimated conservatively at $6,940. $6,940 x new entry in last two years is 6,000,000 = $41.6 billion more, and $1.7 billion a month more in new cost at Biden's current rate of admission, per the latest CPB estimates of monthly entry encounters. So $135 billion plus the new $41 billion = $176 billion/ per year, so far. This is INSANITY!
"All told, the nearly $135 billion paid out by federal and state and local taxpayers to cover the cost of the presence of 12.5 million illegal aliens and their 4.2 million citizen children amounts to approximately $8,075 per illegal alien and citizen child prior to taxes paid, or $6,940 per person after taxes are paid."
Nine people suffered multiple wounds in the twin blasts that rocked Transport Nagar in Narwal area of Jammu district on Saturday following which a security alert was sounded across Jammu.
The Transport Nagar is a busy place where a number of workshops, service stations, shops of mechanics, painters, and vehicle spare parts are located.
The twin blasts took place within a span of 20 minutes in two vehicles in the Yard Number 7 in Transport Nagar while the business there was as usual.
ADGP Jammu Zone Mukesh Singh along with DIG Jammu-Samba-Kathua Range, Shakti Pathak and SSP Jammu, Chandan Kohli rushed to the earth-shattering kaboom site and reviewed the situation.
Giving an account of the earth-shattering kabooms, initially ADGP Singh confirmed that six people suffered injuries in the twin blasts.
"Around 11 am, a kaboom took place in an already parked old Bolero vehicle in which five people standing nearby were maimed. All the injured are out of danger and have been hospitalised," the ADGP said. "Following the first explosion, the area was being vacated. While the process was still on, a second explosion took place 50 meters away from the first explosion site in which one person suffered a minor injury."
He said: "We have shifted the injured to the hospital. The investigation into the earth-shattering kabooms has been started."
Later, the Police confirmed injuries to three more persons who reached the hospital for treatment.
The injured have been identified as Sohail, 35, son of Muhammad Iqbal of Ustad Mohalla Jammu, Sushil Kumar, 26, son of Ramesh Kumar of Prem Nagar, Doda, Vishap Partap, 25, son of Babu Singh of Kanachak Jammu, Vinod Kumar, 52, son of Kaku Ram of Chak Bakhtawar in R S Pura, Arun Kumar of Qasim Nagar Bawe, Amit Kumar, 40, son of Gulshan Kumar of Bahu Fort Jammu, Rajesh Kumar, 35, son of Darshan Lal of Bawe Jammu, Abhishek Kumar, son of Darshan Lal of R S Pura and Aneesh, son of Mansa Ram of Bahu Fort.
Meanwhile, ...back at the railroad tracks, Little Nell tried to kick her bound feet and scream post the snotty handkerchief Scarface Al had stuff into her mouth... some people claimed that the second explosion allegedly in a sedan was powerful.
Fortunately, no life was lost in the earth-shattering kabooms.
All the shops were also closed on the request of Police.
"The shops were closed and most of the people had left the area before the search operation. Army contingents, bomb disposal squads, forensic teams, sniffer dogs, and paramilitary personnel also reached the earth-shattering kaboom sites," a Police officer said.
The security forces before the start of Cordon And Search Operation (CASO) blocked entire Transport Nagar’s entry and exit points.
Lal Masjid students erupt regularly, running mad through the streets imposing Sharia law on all who catch their attention. They’re as bad as university students in medieval Paris.
[Dawn] Hundreds of Jamia Hafsa ... the Islamic nunnery maintained by Lal Masjid.... students on Saturday staged sit-ins at two places following a clash with police after the latter demolished an under-construction structure on Friday night at the old site of the seminary adjacent to Lal Masjid ...literally the Red Mosque, located in Islamabad and frequented by all sorts of high govt officials. The proprietors, Ghazi Abdul Rasheed and Maulana Abdul Aziz Ghazi, unleashed their Islamic storm troopers on the city, shutting down whorehouses and beating people up who weren't devout enough. The Musharraf govt put an end to the nonsense by besieging the place. Abdul Aziz Ghazi was nabbed while he was trying to escape dressed up like a girl. BBC reported that the corpse count at 173, but other claims, usually hysterical, say there were up to 1000 titzup. Among their number was Abdul Rashid Ghazi. Everyone then said tut-tut and what a nice guy he had been... Till filing of this report at about 10pm, the students were present inside Lal Masjid and the road adjacent to Jamia Hafsa at G-7.
A policeman identified as constable Waqas was injured when some of the students pelted the police with stones.
A police officer told Dawn that Special Branch had informed the officers concerned about the ongoing construction work at a greenbelt adjacent to Lal Masjid and presence of construction material there.
The site was covered with tin sheets to hide the ongoing construction work, he added.
In response, officials from the capital police, administration and the CDA raided the site and demolished the structure, he said, adding the police also seized the construction material and removed them from the site.
Shortly afterwards, Umme Hasaan, wife of Maulana Abdul Aziz ...nutball holy man who runs the Lal Masjid in the heart of Pakistain's capital. After instigating a rebellion against the state in 2007, he was caught trying to sneak away dressed in a burka. He rejects democracy as un-Islamic, which it probably is... , along with 250 to 300 students reached Lal Masjid and staged a sit-in, the officer said.
The sit-in led to a standoff between the students and the police. The students rolled their eyes, jumped up and down, and hollered poorly rhymed slogans real loud against the police and pelted the personnel with stones.
As a result, the constable sustained an injury to his head, he added.
In the afternoon, Maulana Aziz
...incidentally, Maulana Aziz and his brother were in regular contact with Al Qaeda big turbans, having inherited the connection from their dad along with the Red Mosque...
also reached Lal Masjid and joined the sit-in in front of the mosque.
A mufti came out from the mosque and told the police and the administration officials that he would take the holy man and the students inside if the police force was moved to one side, said the officer.
The request was accepted by a magistrate.
Later, Maulana Aziz came out from the mosque and asked the students to cover the construction site with tents and went back inside the mosque.
Till filing of this report, the students were present at the entrance to the mosque near the weekly bazaar. Some students were also staging a sit-in at a street near Jamia Hafsa in G-7.
Police, including Anti-Riot Unit, were deployed around Lal Masjid and Jamia Hafsa to maintain peace, the officer added.
[An Nahar] An Israeli settler rubbed out a Paleostinian Saturday at a settler farm in the occupied West Bank after an attempted stabbing, the military said, the latest incident as violence surges in the territory.
An assailant tried to knife an Israeli settler during the "attempted stabbing attack" at Sde Efraim farm northwest of Ramallah, it said.
"The terrorist was neutralized," the army added, confirming to AFP that a settler rubbed out the Paleostinian.
Efficiently done, without even involving the IDF or the police.
No one else was maimed in the incident, the army statement said.
An AFP photographer saw Israeli forces preventing a Paleostinian ambulance from accessing the site.
The knifeman should have killed a Palestinian if he wanted ambulance service. Let that be a lesson to all others who harbour similar ambitions — the live ones, anyway. Once they’re dead they aren’t likely to be nearly as concerned.
The Paleostinian health ministry said 42-year-old Tariq Maali was killed "after the occupation (Israel) opened fire on him"
What — all of it?
near the Paleostinian village of Kafr Nama.
According to Israeli anti-settlement movement Peace Now,
...more properly understood as straightforwardly anti-Israel...
the farm is known as a wildcat settlement, an outpost not recognised by Israel.
All settlements are deemed illegal under international law, which Israel disputes.
The Palestinians and their supporters keep saying that, as if repetition will make it correct.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu plans to pursue a policy of increased settlement expansion in the West Bank, and ultra-Orthodox Jewish parties in his coalition advocate the annexation of some of the territory.
You know, if the Palestinians were to quickly sign a peace treaty with Israel, like Egypt, Jordan, and the Abraham Accord countries have done, they could include a clause requiring Israel to move back behind the border. Then this kind of problem will go away completely. Unfortunately for the Palestinians and their misunderstanding of international law, the Palestinians refuse to even start seriously negotiate the thing.
The shooting brings to 18 the number of Paleostinians killed so far this month in the West Bank, according to an AFP tally which includes Death Eaters and civilians.
The inauguration in December of the most right-wing government in Israel's history, led by Netanyahu, has sparked fears of a military escalation in the Paleostinian territory occupied by Israel since the 1967 Six-Day War.
If they’re that concerned, they ought to quickly stop doing things to provoke the new prime minister to escalate.
The majority of the 18 Paleostinians killed this year were rubbed out by Israeli forces.
