[Stars and Stipes] A Marine officer who filmed a viral video calling out senior military and civilian leaders for failures in Afghanistan resigned his commission "effective immediately" in a new 10-minute video Sunday and threatened to "bring the whole [expletive] system down."
Lt. Col. Stu Scheller was dismissed Friday from command of the Advanced Infantry Training Battalion at Camp Lejeune, N.C., over the original video. In the new one, he claims he is not currently under investigation and that he likely would be allowed to ride out his remaining three years until retirement if he chose to stay silent.
"I don’t think that’s the path I’m on," he says in the video, shot inside an "abandoned school bus" in eastern North Carolina. "I’m resigning my commission as a United States Marine, effective now ... [and] I am forfeiting my retirement, all entitlements. I don’t want a single dollar."

....This may not be a popular opinion, but - although I agree 100% with LTC Scheller and commend him for having the guts to resign his commission...something just is not sitting right here.
I hope and pray that my feelings are misplaced. But as Dad used to say, "Cherish, support, and defend those who seek the truth.
Beware of those who claim to have found it."

Possible Terrorist Attack in Garland, Texas/Known Wolf
Garland Police identified the Lyft driver who was killed Sunday, August 29, in Garland, shortly before a masked gunman was shot at Plano Police Headquarters.
The driver, Isabella Lewis, 26, of Garland, was shot and killed after she dropped off or picked up someone who had requested a ride, according to Garland Police said.
The shooter in Garland and Plano has been identified as Emron Ali Rashid.
He was the one Lewis went to pick up for a ride.
There was a note left in the Lewis’ car, that led to a possible motive for the crime, authorities said, but did not elaborate.
Matthew DeSarno, Special Agent in Charge of FBI Dallas, said the Dallas FBI has joined in the investigation to see what led to the investigation and if it was an act of terrorism.
“Rashid may have been inspired by a foreign terrorist organization to commit these acts,” DeSarno said.
He was the subject of a counterterrorism investigation from 2010 to 2013.
At this point, we do not believe the suspect was provided assistance by others or that others were involved in the incident,” said DeSarno.
There is no indication Rashid and Lewis new each other.
Just before noon on Sunday, Garland police responded to a gunshot wound call in the 400 block of Forest Gate Drive.
Police say the caller stated someone was shot and the victim’s vehicle was stolen.
When officers arrived, they found a woman suffering from a gunshot wound. She was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics.
“She was either going there to pick up a client or going there to drop off a client, we’re still kind of unsure why she was at that location but it was a hired ride,” said Matt Pesta of the Garland Police Department.
A spokesperson for Lyft has since released the following statement:
“We are heartbroken by this incident and our hearts are with the driver’s loved ones during this incredibly difficult time. Safety is fundamental to Lyft and we are ready to assist law enforcement.”
Minutes later, at approximately 12:15 p.m., officers responded to a complaint of a man “behaving erratically” in front of the Plano Police Department.
Prior to their arrival, the suspect entered the department’s lobby. And upon entering the lobby a second time, officials say he displayed a handgun, raised it and then fired it in the direction of a civilian police employee who was assisting a visitor.
Both the employee and visitor took shelter in a secure room off the lobby of the department, police said. At that time, two police officers reportedly responded from inside the building and exchanged fire with the suspect.
The suspect was transported to a nearby hospital where his current status is unknown, police said.
During their investigation, Plano police found the stolen Lyft driver’s vehicle outside the department.
No police employees or visitors were injured.
“Things kind of appear what they are, but we still need to link them with evidence, to be able to make that solid connection,” Pesta said. “It’s just a sad deal all the way around. I mean, let’s face it, a life was lost today, and there could have been many more if it wasn’t for the heroic actions of [the] Plano Police Department.”
Plano Mayor John Muns released the following statement:
“What could have been a horrific tragedy was avoided, thanks to the swift and effective action of our Plano police officers… I applaud the response of the officers who responded who stopped a dangerous situation from taking a deadly turn.”
[Aljazeera] Gunfire from across the Afghan border have killed two Pakistani soldiers, the army said, in the first such attack since the Taliban took over Kabul 10 days ago.
The army said it retaliated and killed two or three attackers, a claim not verifiable because the tribal districts along the Afghan border are off-limits to journalists and human rights organisations. The incident on Sunday in Pakistan’s Bajaur district is the first of its kind reported since the Taliban took over Kabul on August 15.

[The Hill] Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Sunday that it is "not likely" the U.S. will have an "on-the-ground diplomatic presence" in Afghanistan on September 1st, but vowed that the Biden administration will continue to help those who want to evacuate the country past Tuesday's withdrawal deadline.
"First, in terms of having an on-the-ground diplomatic presence on September 1st, that's not likely to happen. But what is going to happen is that our commitment to continue to help people leave Afghanistan who want to leave and who are not out by September 1st, that endures," Blinken told NBC’s Chuck Todd on "Meet The Press."

By Caitlin Kenney, Fort Sill CannoneerApril 26, 2012. C-RAM The Counter Rocket, Artillery, Mortar system has been used in Iraq to protect forward operating bases and valued targets. D Battery, 2nd Battalion, 6th Air Defense Artillery trainers conducted a certification exercise April 19, at Fort Sill
FORT SILL, Okla.-- Mortars, artillery and rockets have been the weapon of choice for insurgents in Iraq and Afghanistan. They are mobile and can be easily hidden, giving Coalition soldiers just seconds to take cover when they are launched.
The Army, taking a note from Navy warfare technology, adopted the C-RAM system or Counter Rocket, Artillery, Mortar system. Known to the Navy as the Phalanx, this "system of systems" detects, warns and intercepts incoming rocket, artillery and mortar rounds at forward operating bases and significant targets in Iraq and now Afghanistan.

Lara Logan is a long-time award-winning journalist now working for Fox News who has spent much of her career covering war zones including Iraq and Afghanistan. Between the two of them, Logan and Crenshaw have spent years in and around Afghanistan. Due to their experience there, both are likely to have credible sources on the ground at the Kabul airport.
Both Logan and Crenshaw are independently reporting that Americans have been turned away from safety at that airport over the past couple of days.
Logan posted this tweet Saturday afternoon.
Most Americans don’t understand what’s happening in Kabul - been on this all night again w no end. US citizens are fighting through enemy lines to get to the airport. When they show their blue passport to 82nd soldiers at the gate, many are turned away & sent back to the Taliban.

That is because the US was focused on only getting out of the airport ASAP. Not on getting more Americans out. Massive Sh!t Show by Biden's Woke Generals.

I know some people here pissed you off, but several others here stood up for you. And I can understand your agitation about that as you have been one of us forever. But if you wanna bash my country then it is open season both ways so let's rumble.
[ToloNews] A U.S. Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... Sunday targeted a vehicle carrying "multiple jacket wallahs" from Afghanistan’s Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... affiliate before they could target the ongoing American military evacuation at Kabul’s international airport, officials said.
There were few initial details about the incident, as well as a rocket that struck a neighborhood just northwest of the airport, killing a child. The two strikes initially appeared to be separate incidents, though information on both remained scarce.
Taliban ...mindless ferocity in a turban... front man Zabihullah Mujahid earlier said in a message to journalists that the U.S. strike targeted a suicide bomber as he drove a vehicle loaded with explosives. Mujahid offered few other details.
Two American military officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss military operations, called the airstrike successful. They said the strike caused "significant secondary explosions" indicating the presence of a substantial amount of kaboom in the vehicle.
The strike was the second by America since the airport suicide kaboom. On Saturday, a strike in Nangarhar The unfortunate Afghan province located adjacent to Mohmand, Kurram, and Khyber Agencies. The capital is Jalalabad. The province was the fief of Younus Khalis after the Soviets departed and one of his sons is the current provincial Taliban commander. Nangarhar is Haqqani country.. province killed an Islamic State member believed to be involved in planning attacks against the United States in Kabul. The strike killed one person, front man Navy Capt. William Urban said.
The rocket attack meanwhile struck Kabul’s Khuwja Bughra neighborhood, said Rashid, the Kabul police chief who goes by one name. Video obtained by The News Agency that Dare Not be Named in the aftermath of the attack showed smoke rising from building at the site around a kilometer (half a mile) from the airport. No group immediately claimed the attack, however bully boyz have fired rockets in the past.
Meanwhile, ...back at the abandoned silver mine, a triangular dorsal fin appeared in the water. Then another... the family of a folk singer north of Kabul say the Taliban killed him. The shooting of Fawad Andarabi came in the Andarabi Valley for which he was named, an area of Baghlan province some 100 kilometers (60 miles) north of Kabul. The valley had seen upheaval since the Taliban takeover, with some districts in the area coming under the control of militia fighters opposed to the Taliban rule. The Taliban say they have since retaken those areas, though neighboring Panjshir in the Hindu Kush mountains remains the only one of Afghanistan’s 34 provinces not under its control.
The Taliban previously came out to Andarabi’s home and searched it, even drinking tea with the musician, his son Jawad Andarabi told the AP. But something changed Friday.
"He was innocent, a singer who only was entertaining people," his son said. "They shot him in the head on the farm."
His son said he wanted justice and that a local Taliban council promised to punish his father’s killer.
Mujahid, the Taliban front man, told the AP that the hard boyz would investigate the incident, but had no other details on the killing.
Andarabi played the ghichak, a bowed lute, and sang traditional songs about his birthplace, his people and Afghanistan as a whole. A video online showed him at one performance, sitting on a rug with the mountains of home surrounding him as he sang.
"There is no country in the world like my homeland, a proud nation," he sang. "Our beautiful valley, our great-grandparents’ homeland."
Meanwhile on Sunday, private banks across Afghanistan resumed their operations. However, facts are stubborn; statistics are more pliable... they limited withdrawals to no more than the equivalent of $200 a day. While some complained of still being unable to access their money, babus government employees say they haven’t been paid over the last four months. The Afghani traded around 90.5 to $1, continuing its depreciation as billions of dollars in the country’s reserves remain frozen overseas.
It seems unlikely that ISIS could lead such a gunfire attack on such a heavily defended area and then get away without any of their members getting killed by return fire, which means if there are no bodies of ISIS fighters then the “ISIS gunmen” the Pentagon reported probably never existed.

When Ezmarai Ahmadi returned home from work on Sunday evening in Kabul, the usual gaggle of squealing children were waiting to greet him -- his sons and daughters, and a slew of nieces and nephews.
He pulled his white sedan into the driveway of a modest house in Kwaja Burga, a densely populated neighbourhood in the northwest of the Afghan capital, and handed the keys to his eldest son to park.
Youngsters piled into the vehicle -- pretending the parking routine was an adventure -- while Ezmarai watched from the side.
Then out of the blue Afghan sky, a missile came screeching down -- striking the car with a terrible force and obliterating the lives of 10 people in an instant.

[EN.ALGHADEERTV.NET] The Taliban ...Arabic for students... will allow all foreign nationals and Afghan citizens with travel authorization from another country to leave Afghanistan, according to a joint statement issued by Britannia, the US, and other countries.
"We have received assurances from the Taliban that all foreign nationals and any Afghan citizen with travel authorization from our countries will be allowed to proceed in a safe and orderly manner to points of departure and travel outside the country," they said in the statement.
The statement said the countries, which also included Australia, Japan, La Belle France, Spain, and many others, would continue to issue travel documents to designated Afghans.

Rocket lands close to Kabul airport killing seven civilians
[KhaamaPress] A rocket fired from an unknown place landed in a residence close to Hamid Maybe I'll join the Taliban Karzai ...Former president of Aghanistan, part of the problem not part of the solution... International Airport based in Kabul in which seven people including children and women were killed.
The rocket hit a house in Police District 15 of Kabul city Sunday afternoon, August 29.
Local residents and eyewitnesses said that the rocket hit two cars parked in the house which caught fire and inflicted casualties.
Eyewitnesses told Khaama Press that the firefighters did not come to extinguish the car and they themselves contained the fire using soil and water.
"There was too much dark in the house, there were fogs everywhere, I saw the flesh of children hung in the trees and lifted the half bodies myself." Said Ghaws, an eyewitness.
As per the local residents, the rocket killed one man, one woman, and five minors.
No group has taken responsibility of the rocket, but ISIS-K had claimed the responsibility for last week’s two deadly kabooms at Kabul airport which took the lives of nearly two hundred people among them 13 US marines

[EN.ALGHADEERTV.NET] Suspected Islamist bandidosfaceless myrmidons killed at least 19 people in a raid on a village in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo ...formerly the Congo Free State, Belgian Congo, Zaire, and who knows what else, not to be confused with the Brazzaville Congo aka Republic of Congo, which is much smaller and much more (for Africa) stable. DRC gave the world Patrice Lumumba and Joseph Mobutu, followed by years of tedious civil war. Its principle industry seems to be the production of corpses. With a population of about 74 million it has lots of raw material... , local authorities said.
The attackers looted houses and started fires in Kasanzi-Kithovo near Virunga National Park in North Kivu province overnight between Friday and Saturday, they said.
"I don’t know where to go with my two children," villager Kahindo Lembula, who lost four of her relatives in the attack, told Rooters by phone. "Only God will help us."
The head of Buliki district, Kalunga Meso, and local rights group CEPADHO blamed the assault on the Allied Democratic Forces ...the ADF is one of several murderous Moslem groups in NE Congo. In 2019 the U.S. Treasury Department imposed sanctions on them for the usual reasons. They don't appear to be affiliated with al-Qaeda or Islamic State, though ISIS claims their work from time to time — they just like killing infidels.... (ADF) — an Islamist hard boy group accused of killing thousands of people in recent years, mostly in remote areas.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility and the ADF could not be reached.
The government declared martial law in North Kivu and neighbouring Ituri province at the beginning of May, in an attempt to quell a surge in violence that the military largely attributes to the ADF.
But the number of civilians killed in such attacks has only increased since then, according to the Kivu Security Tracker, which maps unrest in eastern Congo.
Earlier in August, President Felix Tshisekedi said special forces from the United States would soon deploy to the east to gauge the potential for a local anti-terrorism unit to combat Islamist violence.
The ADF was blacklisted in March by Washington as a terrorist group. It has publicly aligned itself with the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... , which in turn has grabbed credit for some of its attacks.
But in a June report, U.N. experts said they had found no evidence of direct support from the Islamic State to the ADF.

[ENGLISH.AAWSAT] At least 30 soldiers were killed and 60 maimed on Sunday in strikes by the 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... militias on 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... ’s al-Anad military air base.
The Houthis have carried out several attacks using armed drones and ballistic missiles on the base, Yemeni southern forces front man Mohammed al-Naqeeb said.
Naqeeb said that between 30 to 40 soldiers were killed and at least 60 maimed, adding the corpse count may still rise as rescuers were still clearing the scene.
The southern forces are part of the Saudi-led Arab coalition.
Two medical sources said several bodies had arrived at restive Lahj ... a Yemeni governate located in the southwestern corner of the Arabian Peninsula. It is the stomping grounds on the southern secessionist al-Harak movement province’s main hospital along with another 16 maimed people. It was unclear if civilians were among the casualties.
Residents said that several loud blasts were heard in the al-Anad area, which is located at some 70 km (43 miles) north of the southern port city of Aden.
Several other residents from the disputed central city of Taiz said they heard ballistic missiles fired from launchers positioned in the Houthi-held eastern suburbs of the city.
In 2019, the Houthis said they launched a dronezap on al-Anad during a military parade, with medics and government sources saying at the time at least six loyalists were killed -- including a high-ranking intelligence official.
Al-Anad was the headquarters for US troops overseeing a long-running drone war against al-Qaeda until March 2014 when it was overrun by the Houthis.
It was recaptured by government forces in August 2015 as they recovered territory from the militias across the south with support from the Arab coalition.

[ENGLISH.AAWSAT] Clashes between the Syrian regime’s 4th Armored Division and opposition fighters in the provincial city of the southern governorate of Daraa continued, leaving areas damaged by shelling and machinegun fire.
Daraa activists documented shelling targeting Tafas town, located in the western countryside of Daraa, and its surrounding plains. In the Tal al-Samn area, north of Tafas, festivities erupted with regime forces stationed there.
A few days ago, regime forces had reinforced their presence there with rocket launchers, artillery and more troops.
On Thursday morning, the regime launched more than 20 rockets against Tafas, killing three people and wounding ten others.
The escalation in Daraa continued amid efforts by local negotiators to revive a Russian-sponsored deal for a truce in the southern governorate signed last Tuesday.
However, you can observe a lot just by watching... the terms and conditions of the agreement go against the 4th Armored Division’s plans for the area.
Observers believe that the Division is actively seeking to obstruct any agreement, despite having accepted the implementation of the Russian roadmap.
Instead of adhering to the ceasefire deal, the Division is insisting on bringing more military reinforcements to Daraa.
On Friday, Amnesia Amnesty International urged Damascus to allow humanitarian aid to immediately enter the opposition-controlled area in southern Daraa, which is being besieged by the regime forces.
The United Nations ...the Oyster Bay money pit... has warned of food shortages in Daraa, where opposition-held neighborhoods are encircled by Russia-backed regime fighters seeking to regain control of the area.

[EN.ALGHADEERTV.NET] Syrians from the Shaitat clan have staged a protest in the eastern Dayr al-Zawr Province to condemn the US arrest of 300 rustics for fighting ISIS terrorists.
The participants in Saturday’s demonstration called for the release of the rustics, who are held in prisons run by the so-called Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), a US-backed alliance of mainly Kurdish forces fighting against Damascus, Russia’s Sputnik news agency reported.
The protesters said American forces and their allied SDF murderous Moslems had imprisoned members of the Shaitat clan without any charges.
They threatened that if the detainees were not released, the protests would spread all over the Dayr al-Zawr countryside.
Sheikh Khalil al-Kahilat Abu Wahaj, a prominent figure in the Shaitat clan, told Sputnik that the residents of Abu Hamam, Kishkiya and Garanij towns are outraged at US occupation troops and SDF krazed killers, who have kidnapped Syrian rustics on charges of collaborating with Russian and Syrian government forces.
"All these people, who are in the SDF custody, have in the past years participated in the fight against ISIS with the support of the Syrian Arab Army," he added.
He put the total number of the inmates at 300, saying 15 of them were detained this month.
Meanwhile, ...back at the buffalo wallow, Yellow Wolf clutched at his chest and fell from his horse... Syria’s official SANA news agency reported that the protesters had blocked roads leading to Abu Hamam by burning tires.
