[UnderstandingWar] The Russian Federation has launched a large-scale drive to form volunteer battalions in the 85 "federal subjects" (or regions) that comprise the federation. Recruiting for some volunteer battalions began in June but has intensified in July, with new volunteer units being reported daily. The battalions apparently will consist of roughly 400 men each aged between 18 and 60. They will belong to various branches of service including motorized rifle, tank, and naval infantry, but also signals and logistics. Recruits are not required to have prior military service and will undergo only 30 days of training before deployment to Ukraine.
Cannon fodder.
This recruitment effort will likely be expensive if it comes close to meeting its targets. It appears that the Russian Ministry of Defense will pay the volunteers’ salaries while the "federal subjects" will pay their enlistment bonuses. Salaries generally start at roughly $3,000 per month per soldier or about $1.2 million per month per 400-man unit. Enlistment bonuses offered by at least some units appear to be roughly a month’s salary. If the effort generates 85 battalions each of 400 men it would bring an additional 34,000 volunteers into the fight at the cost of about $102 million per month in salary alone. Considering that the 30 days of training the volunteers will receive before entering combat will not produce combat-ready soldiers, that price is very high. The volunteers will receive veteran status and benefits if they serve in Ukraine, moreover, in addition to their salaries and bonuses, a commitment that will add to the Russian Federation budget for decades.
This drive will likely produce "soldiers" of lower quality than the normal conscripts in the Russian army at close to professional-soldier prices. It is a remarkable expedient that suggests that Russian President Vladimir Putin remains unwilling to compel his people to fight and unable to attract them to fight voluntarily without considerable incentives.

It also says something about the amount of casualties. Killing generations of sperm donors when your demographics aren't that hot would seem to negate anything they may seem to gain.

[Washington Times] Congressional lawmakers have called on Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Mark A. Milley to respond to reports that he cut off the statutory chain of command at the end of President Trump’s term, undermining civilian control of the military.
Gen. Milley told lawmakers last year at a congressional hearing that he contacted his Chinese counterpart two times to tell him that the U.S. had no plans to attack China.
Rep. Jim Banks, Indiana Republican, said in a speech that Gen. Milley must "set the record straight."
"General Milley is accused of secretly seizing the president’s military powers. That is the most serious crime. If he is innocent, he has a duty to say so," he said.
The phone calls to China were detailed in the book "Peril" written by Washington Post journalists Bob Woodward and Robert Costa.
The book also recounted how Gen. Milley directed senior military officers not to follow the president’s orders unless the general first approved them.
Mr. Banks and Sen. Charles E. Grassley, Iowa Republican, both sent a letter to Gen. Milley asking him to either confirm or dispute the book’s claims.
Mr. Grassley said the letter was also signed by Republican Sens. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee and Rand Paul of Kentucky.
"If those books and all attended press coverage of those books, had contained gross misrepresentations. We would have heard about it a long time ago. He would have hammered the authors and corrected the record," Mr. Grassley said in a speech in the Senate. "However, to date, not a peep from the general. His silence speaks volumes."
He said that Gen. Milley has not responded.
The general’s phone calls with his Chinese counterpart were heard by numerous U.S. military officials and later reported to administration officials including the White House chief of staff and the secretary of state, according to the book.
"General Li, I want to assure you that the American government is stable and everything is going to be okay," Gen. Milley told a Chinese general in an October call, according to the book. "We are not going to attack or conduct any kinetic operations against you."
Another call was allegedly made two days after the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot.

Whiskey Mike dear, we know you of old. It would take a lot more for us to think you’d lost the plot.
[ZeroHedge] Thought provoking, though I wonder if it is still realistic to project China surpassing America by the end of the decade, given their current growing financial problems: bank runs, bankruptcies and domestic speculation balloons popping, Covid lockdowns disrupting production, and the world seeking to diversify after China as a supplier proved problematic over the past two years, even as their belt and road project is becoming less popular abroad as the exploitative aspects are discovered.

China's high water mark was near 2018. COVID, people not trusting them, demographic issues (China is the fastest aging population in human history) and a energy supply chain that is the most exposed in the world does not make for optimistic forecasts for the nation.
Commentary by Russian military blogger Andrey Chervonets.
On July 14, a Caliber strike on the House of Officers destroyed in Vinnitsa the participants of the meeting of the Ukrainian Air Force command with representatives of foreign arms suppliers on the transfer of the next batch of aircraft to the Armed Forces of Ukraine
Now it is clear why there is so much noise around this case, the command of the Ukrainian Air Force and, in addition, Western sellers, were slammed.
Unfortunately, several civilians also died from shrapnel. Including the network circled the footage of the deceased young girl with Down syndrome. This is a very sad fact, there are collateral casualties among civilians in any military conflict, even the parties are trying to avoid them. NATO members call victims among civilians "accompanying" and lay a percentage on this. True, this does not prevent them from naturally erasing cities into dust.
Ukry held a meeting during the day, at a military facility in the city center, when people walk the streets without knowing anything about the military meeting. The Ukrainian network found a reason for indignation.
But I'll tell you: didn't the children of Donetsk worry you? Crying, mostly hypocritically, about a dead child in Vinnitsa, one cannot simultaneously rejoice at the numerous murders of children, as it was for 8 years and continues at the hands of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Donbass. Or is it different? In this case, no one will believe such a false "sorrow."
[WSB2] DULUTH, Ga. — A North Georgia woman is out on bond on several charges after she told police that America’s laws do not apply to her.
The officer said he saw the woman driving oddly and thought she might be drunk. He pulled her over and found himself in a very strange situation.
The driver claimed to be a member of the Nation of Moors with no need for American laws.
"Do you have your license with you?" the officer is heard asking the woman on police body cam video of the incident.
"I don’t have a license to drive a car," the woman told the officer.
The ID that the woman tossed at the officer identifies her as Joyce Marie from Blue Ridge. The ID was labeled an American Global ID and Liberty Pass, expiring in 177 years.
From the crazy cult end of the Moorish Sovereign Citizens movement, also known as the Indigenous Moors, who have the queer idea that they are the native people of North America and therefore entitled to ignore the laws and retake title to any property that catches their eye, which they’ve done with distressing regularity since the 1990s. Both the Indigenous Moors and the Nation of Islam split off from the Moorish Science Temple movement. The Nation of Moors is the final version of a cult founded by ex-convict Dwight York in New York City in the early 1970s as Ansar Pure Sufi, which sent out its members to sell nonsensical pamphlets and incense while Mr. York lived large on the proceeds and treated the females from large to small as his personal harem. About 500 members eventually built a commune on a country property in Georgia, where he was convicted by the feds in 2004 of everything short of mopery and dopery on the spaceways. Some clearly still believe.
#3
Fine. If American laws don't apply to you then neither do the protections. Immediately seize all property and throw her in jail. I imagine she'll have a "Brittney Griner" moment
#9
She probably takes donations through Venmo. Have an Abbot pick her up on the return trip. They can fit all her Nubian property in the bottom storage. Drop her over the California line. Tell her that Gavin sent a special invitation to her.

Yes, I am familiar with Meyer's writings. I do not enjoy fiction however. Perhaps I should be more inclusive and better read. I have a former Greek colleague and author who sends me alternative history stuff occasionally. I have no use for alternative history either. Sadly I find it hard to find the time for the reading I should be doing.
Texting a farmer friend the other day, I sent him a foto of a woodland view and cup of coffee on my deck. told him I was.... "taking a break."
His responce: "Taking a break from what?"
Time management, an obvious personal weakness.
* Meyer's website link gives some impressive local fotos as well as a listing of his numerous novels.
[Red State] There's more political trouble brewing in Georgia at an organization founded by sore-loser Stacey Abrams, who is again running as a Democrat to be the Peach State's governor. According to the state ethics commission, the New Georgia Project that Abrams founded failed to disclose some $7 million worth of spending — $3 million for electioneering expenses and $4 million in political contributions — between 2017 and 2019 while she was on the ballot for governor.
According to Axios' reporting on the latest potential scandal involving Abrams, the unreported expenditures is "one of the largest cases the commission has taken up."
The timing for the inquiry could prove rather unfavorable for Abrams who is again facing off against the Republican who beat her in 2018 this November, as Axios further explains:

[Gateway] Roughly $44 billion of President Joe Biden’s American Rescue Plan COVID-19 relief bill was sent to states that implemented elements of Critical Race Theory (CRT) in their school districts, according to a new report from One Nation America (ONA).
The $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan (ARP) authorized the U.S. Department of Education to spend more than $120 billion on the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund (ESSER) to assist school districts in re-opening from the COVID-19 pandemic. The report by ONA, a conservative policy advocacy group, found that several Democratic-run states used the ARP ESSER funding to subsidize programs that taught the tenets of CRT, such as implicit bias training for faculty and diversity, equity and inclusion programs, in school curriculums in 13 states.

“Terrorism financing is something everyone needs to be aware of, money laundering especially. It opens the door to financing terrorism. It is a reality and we need to work on it."https://t.co/7swyWME4oA
French senator Nathalie Goulet's book outlines how holy warriors use bitcoin, chocolate and counterfeiting trades to launder money
From art and antiquities to cryptocurrency or crowdfunding, one of La Belle France’s leading security experts has written a book that calls for action against the financing tools exploited by terrorists.
Senator Nathalie Goulet has spent the past decade working on the terror threat in La Belle France, gaining insight into the extent of terrorist infiltration of lucrative markets.
"You have art, arms and drugs but you also have things that are not often known, like counterfeiting, crowdfunding and cryptocurrency," she told The National.
"Terrorism financing is something everyone needs to be aware of, money laundering especially. It opens the door to financing terrorism. It is a reality and we need to work on it.
Ms Goulet spent years studying the Moslem Brüderbund and its European links and has used her experience to write a book dedicated to the funding mechanisms used by terrorists.
The Alphabet of Terrorism Financing is an A-Z analysing the various strategies used by turbans.
"It’s a dictionary of the tools used by holy warriors to finance terrorism," she said. "It is from the work I have done over the years on terrorism. I wanted to write a book on the subject. I chose to shape it as a dictionary so it is clear and academic.
"It is a major subject for the international community. What’s important for me is for governments and heads of state to understand the links between money laundering and the financing of terrorism. It’s like a big sponge."
Six months after the shocking Charlie Hebdo ...A lefty French satirical magazine, home of what may well be the majority if the active testicles left in Europe... attacks in La Belle France, Ms Goulet co-chaired an inquiry into turban networks and later wrote a report for NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. It's headquartered in Belgium. That sez it all.... on the financing of terrorism.
HUMAN TRAFFICKING AND CRYPTOCURRENCY HELPING TO FUND TERROR
The book covers 47 methods being used by turbans.
"The holy warriors are very creative," Ms Goulet said. "There is always someone running faster and it is never the politicians.
"The art trade, online money pots, counterfeiting, consumer credit and even the purchase of chocolate are all unsuspected channels through which terrorist organizations finance their projects.
"One of the lesser known revenues is counterfeiting. It may seem a small thing buying a fake pair of shoes or a bag but in fact counterfeiting creates a very, very big network of financing terrorism."
Describing terrorist financing as a multibillion-pound industry, the author said bully boyz could be highly creative and opportunistic.
"They are ready to fill the gap," she said. "Recently we saw examples of this in Covid when fake tests were being sold.
"Another issue is human trafficking — it is growing and growing — and organ trafficking. We have seen examples of all of this being used to fund terrorism. Other trends we are seeing are cryptocurrencies being used for money laundering and crowdfunding sites."
Last August, 23 tonnes of chocolate bars were seized by Israeli authorities, who believe the haul was intended to fund Hamas, one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbund millipede,.
LOW-COST TERRORISM MAKING FIGHT EVEN HARDER
Ms Goulet said a major issue for governments was the low cost of terrorism.
In recent years, atrocities across Europa ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... have been committed by ploughing vehicles into crowds.
Despite the US September 11 attacks costing $500,000 to plan and execute, European terrorism tends to cost substantially less.
The London transport bombings in July 2005 were estimated to have cost $12,000, the Gay Paree terrorist attacks in November 2015 in which 130 people were killed cost $8,000 and the Charlie Hebdo killings $5,000.
"Terrorist activities in Europe do not require lots of expenses," Ms Goulet said. "To become a foreign terrorist fighter, it rarely takes more than a plane ticket for The Sick Man of Europe Turkey ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire... "You can buy an automatic rifle AK-47 for less than €2,000 [$2,003] and a pistol costs even cheaper. The cost of buying a knife or renting a vehicle is negligible.
"Fighting the war on terror requires an enormous expenditure of money but conducting a terrorist operation can be surprisingly inexpensive, and inventive holy warriors use every means at their disposal to raise funds and move money, from petty crime to bitcoins to legitimate charities.
"Tracking such small amounts is akin to finding a needle in a haystack. But these small amounts add up and this is where we need to be concerned.
"Committing an attack costs less and less. Faced with this low-cost terrorism, only the monitoring of weak signals makes it possible to identify atypical operations and go back to organised networks.
"Stemming this shifting and opportunistic phenomenon requires a relentless fight against fraud, tax evasion and money laundering.
"This low-cost terrorism is becoming more and more difficult to fight."
MONEY LAUNDERING EXPECTED TO DOUBLE BY 2027
Ms Goulet is hoping her book will reinforce the importance of monitoring money launderers and their criminal operations.
"We have a really big issue regarding money laundering," she said.
"It is difficult to monitor and trace where the money is going. The UAE does a lot and has set up a special community to match international regulations for money laundering. As an international community we need to work together to tackle it."
In the first six months of 2022, the UAE's anti-money laundering task force imposed fines of more than $11m in the fight to rein in illicit financial activity.

Curious how after the Magic Kenyan, Holder et al began salting the federal government, and especially the Intel/LE portions of it, the whole focus on Muslim Hawala banking seemed to slowly fade into silence. In my era, the Paki's especially were practitioners for all sorts of criminal behavior, but these days, nary a whisper in public view. "They are Muslim and black you know" words from a DHS senior intel analyst over beers as a cautionary reminder when I was pressing about Hawala's and the Somali kleptocratic family colony in Hayward California, circa 2010.

Beggar mafias in third world countries. India, Bangladesh, Srilanka, African nations, Pakistain... Generate about $10-12 billion a year. Almost all run by Moslems. They've cornered the trade in every country they can by now.
The vilest trade after forced prostitution and trafficking. Children are bred to beg. Children are abducted from orphanages, maternity wards schools, when the 'crop' falls short. Often they are tortured and mutilated, crippled or blinded by the gangs. The gangs pay off local law enforcement, health and women&child rights inspectors, even murder whistleblowers and activists trying to stop it. Everyone from bottom to top including commissioners and councillors get their cut.
And that's just one source.
Counterfeit currencies is another, the 'Stain specializes in this.
"Tehreek-e-Taliban Tajikistan" is reportedly formed by Mahdi Arsalan, leader of Jamaat Ansarullah, in the Badakhshan province of Afghanistan. https://t.co/jtw20OUu2t
#1
He's no Mahdi of anything. Formed in 2009 by some ex-Tajik army officers, the Jama'at Ansarullah was a 200 strong Tajik militant group that supplemented Taliban activities in the Badakshan. It came to be led by one Mohammad Sharifov, a Tajik thug of mixed race who rose through the ranks simply because his superiors fled the fighting faster'n a scalded cat. Who knows, some of these tajiks may just be living in America and the K right now, but that's another story.
This asshole.
He later named himself Mahdi Arsalon.
After the US-Taliban deal of 2019, and the pull out, all sasquatches who had fought for the taliban council wanted in on the giant graft machine to come. Just like they'd been promised. But there's a reason they were never invited to the Doha rounds.
The emirate's what they had all fought for. They were promised a federal type setup like Pakistain; with fiefdoms federal autonomy, local provincial budgets fueled by unending 'tranches' of Ameican taxpayer money from Biden, the chance to parlay directly with and even occasionally extort the Chinese investing there, the tourism, the mining, oh my.
But the new emirate put paid to all that, because the deal with the US necessitated that. This was a DJT achievement mind you, let the world never forget that. So, the taliban is fast cutting ties with the AQ supported groups that cheered and did victory dances for the taliban. It has even censured and recognized all central asian sasquatch groups like the uzbek Katibat Imam al Bukhari, Katibat Tawhid wal Jihad, Islamic Jihad Union, the tajik Jamaat Ansarullah and the Turkestan Uyghur Fighters Islamic Party as 'extremists'. After all, China is a customer and investor now. They need to posture before the world bank, the UN, and the ... HoR, as a legitimate country and a decent government with modernist values and what have you. Soon, they might even allow some hand picked wimmin to strut before the cameras as 'empowered' moslem gals. Mullahs will not be pleased. Those mullahs who do not understand how the world works. And they'll be silenced.
So basically, the friends of yesterday are now liabilities. And when they realize they're being treated as liabilities, they get mad. Our job, yours and mine is to fan such fires, until they all go completely Dawn of the Dead on each other.

Ok — added a key word search of the Rantburg archives. Nothing about the gentleman in question under either name with those spellings, but one of the Jamaat Ansarullah articles contained this comment, distilled from a variety of sources at the time:
Jamaat Ansarullah — as opposed to all the other groups that go by Ansarullah, including the Houthis in Yemen — is the Tajikistani branch of the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU), which fights alongside the Taliban in Jawzjan and Faryab provinces.
I wish I had a better memory, but this artificial aid Fred crafted is very helpful once I remember to use it. Thank you, Fred!

Ansar just means 'helper', 'servant' or more specifically 'helper in a cause'. It goes back to mohamed's time when descendants of the Gawd cursed Amalekites helped mohammed to establish his... whatever this is.
Personally I think they shoulda gone with Alhazred.
Today, in the sasquatch world, an ansaar usually denotes a group that wants to 'serve the cause', help the moslem eschaton.
[IsraelTimes] A 30-year-old Israeli woman is lightly hurt after stones are hurled at her vehicle on the Route 60 highway near the Paleostinian village of Luban a-Sharqiya in the West Bank, according to the Magen David Adom ambulance service.
The woman is taken by the Magen David Adom ambulance service to Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem.
[IsraelTimes] A police officer was lightly injured after a Paleostinian driving a car refused to halt at a checkpoint near the West Bank settlement of Ariel.
According to police, officers ordered the car to stop at the checkpoint at the Gitai-Avishar Junction. The Paleostinian driver initially stopped but accelerated after an officer approached the vehicle.
The officer is taken to a hospital with minor injuries after the car ran over his foot, police say.
Police say forces are searching the area for the car and that the circumstances of the incident are under investigation, without elaborating on what the Paleostinian man was suspected of.
[IsraelTimes] Pilgrims enter West Bank shrine without military escort; their vehicle overturns during escape from button men
An Israeli man was injured during an uncoordinated visit to Joseph’s Tomb in the West Bank city of Nablus early Friday, after he and several other people came under Paleostinian fire, according to Hebrew media reports.
The Israel Defense Forces said a group of four Israelis entered the shrine and were attacked by button men as they were leaving. They then attempted to escape in their vehicle, but it overturned, forcing them to leave the car and exit the city on foot.
According to the military, they were picked up by Israeli troops, who administered first aid and were planning to hand the men over to the police.
The IDF conducted a search of the area, according to reports, but it was not immediately clear if the assailants were caught.
Jewish pilgrimages to Joseph’s Tomb, located on the outskirts of the West Bank city of Nablus, are generally allowed only once a month and under heavy security. During these visits, Paleostinians often throw rocks at the troops and frequently attack them with Molotov cocktails and gunfire.
Three Israelis, including an IDF commander and two civilians, were maimed during an escorted visit two weeks ago when Paleostinian button men opened fire on the worshipers and their security detail.
Among the injured Israelis was Col. Roy Zweig, who heads the Samaria Regional Brigade in the northern West Bank.
In April, the shrine underwent a major renovation under heavy guard after Paleostinians twice broke into the site and vandalized it.
Zweig, the commander maimed in the festivities, made headlines at the time after ignoring IDF Central Command chief Yehuda Fuchs’s orders not to invite news hounds to accompany the soldiers and settlers repairing the site.
[IsraelTimes] Military says it targeted underground rocket production facility; fresh warning sirens sound in Israeli communities northeast of Gazoo, projectiles hit open areas

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 early Saturday morning, hours after two rockets were launched at Israeli from the Paleostinian enclave.

Khalistani nonsense or related Sikh gangster stuff?
[GreaterKashmir] Ripudaman Singh Malik, who was acquitted on charges of bombing an Air India plane killing 329 people on board, has been rubbed out in British Columbia, according to media reports.
Malik was killed as he sat inside his car in the Vancouver suburb of Surrey on Thursday, the Vancouver Sun reported.
Malik and a Babbar Khalsa
...more fully Babbar Khalsa International, one of the Khalistan independence groups who hope to somehow create a Sikh homeland in the Indian Punjab through anti-Indian terror and lawfare, funded by the Sikh diaspora and trained and guided as a project of Pakistan’s ISI...
associate, Ajaib Singh Bagri, were acquitted by a British Columbia Supreme Court ...the political football known as The Highest Court in the Land, home of penumbrae and emanations... judge of murder and conspiracy charges in the terrorist kaboom that brought down Air India's Kanishka, a Boeing 747 aircraft, over the Atlantic Ocean near Ireland in 1985.
Bombs had been planted in the luggage on that plane.
The explosives in the second plane went off at Tokyo airport killing two baggage handlers rather than mid flight.
The terrorist attack on Air India, the worst in aviation history but for the 9/11 attacks, is a shameful taint on Canada's record because it could not bring the perpetrators fully to justice.
Only one person, the bomb-maker Inderjit Singh Reyat was convicted in connection with the attack after he pleaded guilty to manslaughter in 2003 but got off lightly.
He was sentenced to nine years in prison and was released in 2016.
Reyat was also convicted of perjury for lying when he testified in the trial of Malik and Bagri.
The Sun site quoted Integrated Homicide Investigation Team Sergeant Timothy Pierotti as saying, "We are aware of Mr. Malik's background, though at this time we are still working to determine the motive".
He said that the police were confident that there were witnesses who could help with the investigation.
Retired Royal Canadian Mounted Police Deputy Commissioner Gary Bass, who had overseen the investigation into the terrorist attack, indicated to the Sun that Malik had many enemies.
"I'm not privy to the ongoing investigations on Malik right now, but I can say that from years when I was (investigating) that he was involved in a number of activities that might bring him into conflict with other people," the former official of Canada's federal police told the Sun.
CTV News reported that a vehicle was found engulfed in flames near the site of the shooting and that it was believed to be associated with Malik's killing.
The Canada Broadcasting Corporation reported that a witness said he heard three shots and pulled Malik from his red Tesla bleeding from a neck wound.
Malik "was acquitted because there were some mistakes during the investigation, the agencies made some mistakes and the courts couldn't find him guilty," Rob Alexander, whose father, Mathew Alexander, died in the terrorist attack told CTV News.
Alexander, who is a member of the Air India Victims' Family Association, added, "Do we get closure from what happened today? Not really. In the end, your loved one's not coming back".
The Sun said that after his acquittal Malik ran a banking outfit, Khalsa Credit Union, and the Satnam Education Society which runs several "Khalsa schools".
He also ran a clothing company, Papillon Eastern Imports, in whose parking lot he was killed.
1. Canada has much stricter gun laws than the United States. Therefore, we see another example of how stricter gun controls, only disarm Honest citizens, allowing the criminal element to have greater safety in its operations against citizens.
2. Without a swiftly and judiciously applied Death Penalty, Mass Murders get free Room and Board at the expense of Taxpayers and yes even the families of the victims help pay for their up keep.
Karma is sometimes slow, but will tap the earner on the shoulder better and harder than any Politically Correct handed out social justice ever will.

Malik was one of the old guard of the Babbar Khalsa. For years, Malik tried to ingratiate himself with the conservative party, playing in leagues too big for him. Only an independent and fair investigation can expose how much the khalistanis, who are in a way proxies of the Pakistain ISI, are embedded and symbiotically entwined with Canadian politics today. I'm guessing, a lot. Simply put, there's too many sikhs and pakis in Canada. Anyway.
Last month Malik began feeling so safe in Trudeau's la la land, he tried to praise Modi, the Indian PM, for some freebies and sops he'd given to sikhs, just for being sikhs. Don't ask... man's as big a socialist wuss as any.
Now, Malik has made a lot of money in Canada and has investments in local businesses from transport to real estate. He was in a happy place. But the cab drivers and plumbers and random mustachioed roustabouts, the have-nots who are led on these 'revolutions'? What of them? They see this rich old fcuker, tweeting and talking nice about the enemy on teevee. What do they do? He's a pariah isn't he? Besides, the movement needs new blood and complacent sikhs a fresh taste of terror.
As the larger sikh clans in Canada give way to nuclear families in an unforgiving economy, and each successive generation of canadian sikhs learns to put their individual interests ahead of this garibaldi bearded tomfoolery for the elders, interest for khalistan has waned. Progress, economic, social, psychological, will do that to you.
The khalsa terrorists in Canada are just trying to police their community, spread fear and drum up unquestioned loyalty with these actions. They want all sikhs in canada to live in absolute fealty to them, vote as per their commands, be ready to boycott, riot, rally around, whatever... on command. Kind of like the muzz.
If the canadians are smart they'll crack down on them, and by that I mean kill a few. Just for the fcuk of it. Let there be a small Sikh lives matter thingy, then kill some more, and they'll be okay. But of course, no body listens...
[Dawn] Nine bad boyz were potted and a havildar was martyred during an operation against the killers of Lt Col Laiq Baig Mirza, an army officer who was kidnapped earlier this week while travelling to Quetta from Ziarat, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in a statement on Friday.

"The nine bodies of holy warriors are being handed over to the civil administration for completion of legal formalities," officials said.
In a statement on Thursday, ISPR had said that SSG commandos had launched a search operation to recover the men and that on the night between July 13 and 14, a group of six to eight holy warriors was spotted moving in a nullah in nearby mountains. Seeing the forces closing-in, the turbans shot Lt Col Mirza in the head and attempted to flee, the statement added.

According to him, it is precisely because of this that the offensive potential of the Russian troops has been significantly reduced. Motuzyanyk also noted that Ukraine expects from lend-lease "a very positive effect, because it will be able to choose the types of weapons and military equipment that we will need at one time or another."
The speaker of the Ministry of Defense also said that Russian troops make only 30% of strikes on military targets in Ukraine, and the remaining 70% - on peaceful cities.

"There are two things that I am still fighting for - these are modern tanks and aircraft. Until we break through this moment. But I am convinced that we will succeed. For me today the answer "it is impossible" means that it is possible, only in the future. And there will be planes. The question is what. If someone thinks that the F-16 planes are the solution, then they are deeply mistaken. Our airfields are not ready for the F-16, there are nuances. Therefore, perhaps we need others aircraft.

[NYPOST] A Florida county commissioner with a lead foot dropped his title twice in back-to-back speeding incidents — declaring "I run the county" in one of the traffic stops, footage of the cases show.
In the latest encounter, Flagler County Commissioner Joe Mullins was in his red Ferrari when he was pulled over by a Florida Highway Patrol trooper on June 19, according to reports.
Mullins had been traveling 92 mph in a 70-mph zone on Interstate 95, Fox 35 reported.
As the trooper is talking to Mullins, the trooper stops and says, "I’m sorry?"
Mullins then says, "I run the county, so I know how that works."
"You run the county?" the trooper replies.
Mullins replies, "Yeah, I’m the chairman of the county commission," according to the dashcam footage obtained by Fox 35.
The trooper then continues to explain the citation before Mullins is seen zooming away at the end of the encounter.
On June 2, Mullins was pulled over in a Mercedes-Benz SUV for going 89 mph in a 60-mph zone on Interstate 4, according to the Daytona Beach News Journal.
After the two troopers talk with Mullins, they go back to a patrol car where one trooper says, "He said he was a county commissioner," to which the other trooper replies, "Yeah, well, he’s getting a ticket," according to footage obtained by the Daytona Beach News Journal.
The newspaper also reported the trooper who spoke to Mullins can be heard threatening to arrest Mullins at one point if he gets out of the SUV.
According to highway patrol dispatch notes obtained by the local outlet, Mullins "stated it would be a carrer [sic] ending move if I arrested him for failing to obey a lawful order."
The police report also stated Mullins was "extremely condescending, belligerent, illogical and disrespectful," and alleged he "flashed his business card to get out of ticket," according to the News Journal.
In separate letters to judges seeking leniency for both incidents, Mullins claimed he was in a rush and not paying attention to how fast he was driving, the newspaper reported.

Should serve 30 days for 'Driving while being an asshole!'. Who does he think he is - Boss Hogg?
Besides - what is a County Commissioner doing driving a Ferarri? While he's cooling his heels in jail you might want to go over his finances as well...

[LibyaReview] Maltese police said they have arrested a Libyan national in connection with a string of thefts and burglaries over the last few months, according to Independent Malta News.
Rashid Ramadan Ibrahim Aljabo, 29, was arrested in connection with a total of 22 thefts which happened in Valletta, Hamrun, and Qormi.
The Maltese police said that the Libyan man allegedly targeted cars and establishments. He reportedly stole money, electronic devices such as mobile phones and tablets, clothes, and other accessories. A Maltese court heard of how Aljabo had also allegedly damaged five cars.
The accused was identified following investigations between March and July this year. He was identified from CCTV footage, with police saying that he was recognised because he had several previous convictions.
The Libyan man however had no fixed address, and had managed to allegedly steal again in Qormi before he could be traced. Police subsequently tracked him down to Marsa, following a tip-off, where he was arrested on Monday.
The police said that the arrest came after weeks of investigations and collaborative work between the Valletta and Floriana Community Police, and the Valletta and Qormi District Police. However, today is that tomorrow you were thinking about yesterday... the Libyan man pleaded not guilty "Wudn't me." Earlier this month, a Maltese court acquitted a Libyan man, after spending five years in prison on charges of possession of psychotropic pills, according to Malta Today.
Ayoub Ahmad Mohammed Ahmad arrived in Malta in 2015 to study. He soon settled down, and was granted refugee status.
His friend requested Ayoub deliver three protein shake tubs to his brother in Libya, who was a "workout fanatic." He was stopped on the road by police, who were acting on a tip-off about a suspected drug deal.

Traditional Iranian vapourware, cardboard cutouts, or real? Your guess is as good as mine, dear Reader.
[Rudaw] Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites.... unveiled its first fleet of naval vessels capable of carrying combat drones on Friday, as US President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. The very model of probity, except maybe for abandoning Afghanistan... continues his Middle East tour.
The Iranian navy unveiled their latest up-to-date technological achievements in the field of combat, consisting of ships, submarines, and drones, equipped to provide a response in case "a mistake is made by the enemies" of Iran, according to the Commander-in-chief of the Iranian army Abdolrahim Mousavi, who was present during the ceremony.
Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid signed a strategic declaration on Thursday, pledging to stop Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
Prior to Biden’s visit to Tel Aviv, AFP reported that the Israeli army will introduce the American president to their newest technological invention, anti-drone lasers, which they deemed "essential to confronting Iran."
The US president will continue his four-day trip to the Middle East, as he is set to arrive in 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... on Friday and attend a summit with some of the region’s leaders the day after.
"Today, we witnessed the accomplishment of new achievements in the field of defense industry by the expert and committed youth of our country, which this time was manifested in the very important field of drones," state media cited Shahram Irani, commander of Iran’s strategic naval forces as saying.
Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian on Friday tweeted that Iran will not compromise its rights in the negotiations with the US to revive the nuclear deal, adding that "the puppet show of the White House and Zionism [Israel] in the region makes us more determined."
Washington and Tehran have held talks for over a year aimed at reviving the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which former US President Donald Trump ...Oh, noze! Not him!... withdrew from in 2018, but have not yielded much result.
Iran insists that the US removes its sanctions on the country, including those on Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which Washington has listed as a terror group.

Whenever I think of the Iranian naval forces, I think of the Monty Python sketch on camouflage techniques. This innovation will extend the length of the conflict with us by either 30 seconds or 5 minutes depending on whether they are stupid enough to put the controllers for the drones on the carriers. Note - my estimate does not include the time associated with humanitarian rescue operations. My message to Adorable Mouseketeer is to wear his floaters at all times.

/\ ...I was thinking what would happen as one of our electronic warfare (EW) planes gets within range and starts Active Jamming. *Zorch* Drones falling out of the sky like snowflakes and if they have "return to launch point" that could be even more entertaining is a ship launched them.
By Mevlut Cavusoglu, the incumbent Turkish foreign minister
[Rudaw] On the evening of July 15, 2016, the "Fethullahist Terrorist Organization" (FETO) launched a bloody coup attempt against the people and the government of my country. Their aim was to establish a radical, fundamentalist regime, loyal only to their ringleader Fetullah Gulen.
As FETO affiliated army units left their barracks to occupy key locations, such as the Bosphorus Bridge in Istanbul and fighter jets and attack helicopters bombed strategic targets including the Parliament, Presidential compound, army and police headquarters; thousands of civilians erupted into the streets to stop this unprecedented heinous coup attempt. The plotters killed 251 innocent civilians and left thousands injured. On that night the Ottoman Turkish people defended democracy with their lives. This heroic response was something the conspirators did not foresee.

Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin:
[ColonelCassad] According to the LNR army at 11 o'clock.
1. The enemy withdraws from Seversk in small groups as part of the execution of a combat order for a covert withdrawal of troops.
2. Our troops have already entrenched themselves on the eastern outskirts of Seversk and are sweeping deep into the city.
3. The enemy is still offering patchy resistance.
4. A number of heights near Seversk are still controlled by opponents.
5. The Seversk-Soledar road has not yet been cut.
In general, everything goes to the fact that in the coming days Seversk will come under the control of the RF Armed Forces and the LPR army. And of course, we will recall the statements of Ukrainian propaganda that "after the occupation of Lisichansk by the RF Armed Forces, not a single city will be able to occupy it."

[REGNUM] The facts of the targeted mass destruction of civilians and prisoners of war by the Nazi invaders and their accomplices in the occupied territory of the Bryansk region were established by the Investigative Committee of Russia, a REGNUM correspondent was told on July 14 in the press service of the department.
The investigation is aware of the mass executions of the inhabitants of the village of Hatsun, when only in October 1941, on the orders of the fascist command, 318 civilians were killed, including 60 children aged from two to 10 years.
The transit camp for prisoners of war and the civilian population "Dulag-142" in Bryansk contained at least 80,000 people, 40,000 of whom were tortured and buried. One of the witnesses, who ended up in the camp in 1942 at the age of four with two sisters and a brother, told the investigators that they were kept in barracks in inhuman conditions, she was regularly taken blood. Other witnesses recall how they had to sleep on a cold concrete floor, and from 100 to 500 bodies of the dead were taken out of the camp daily.
"All the evidence collected and the facts established give the investigation reason to believe that these crimes are part of the plan of the Nazi invaders to exterminate the civilian population not only of individual settlements and regions, but of the entire Soviet people," the TFR said.
As REGNUM reported , the first open hearing in the case of the genocide of the Soviet people is taking place on July 14 in the Bryansk Regional Court.
BACKGROUND
On October 27, 2020, the Soletsky District Court of the Novgorod Region recognized as genocide the massacre of Soviet civilians by German invaders and their accomplices in the village of Zhestyanaya Gorka in 1942. More than 2,500 Soviet citizens from among the civilian population and prisoners of war of the Red Army became victims of the massacres. This is the first case of genocide in the history of Russia. The application was sent to the court by the Prosecutor's Office of the Novgorod Region on behalf of the Prosecutor General's Office.
The occupying forces struck Bakhmut , Donetsk region, with the Uragan rocket salvo system.
This was reported by the press service of the National Police.
"Preliminarily, they fired one rocket at the central market , two more at a residential area," the police reported.
It is clarified that the market premises and shops were destroyed as a result of the shelling. In addition, the shock wave damaged the windows of a five-story building located nearby.
The policemen provided the victims with first aid and collected the evidence base of the war crime of the Russian Federation.
As a matter of fact, criminal proceedings have been opened under Article 438 (Violation of laws and customs of war) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
It will be recalled that earlier seven houses burned down due to the shelling of the private sector of Bakhmut with incendiary ammunition .
The invaders shelled Slovyansk in Donetsk region, there is a dead person
Russian invaders again shelled Slovyansk, which is in Donetsk region.
This was announced by the head of the Slovyansk City Center Vadim Lyakh.
"SMDs again, cluster shells again. There is a dead person. There are wounded," Lyakh said in his video message on Facebook.
He added that the number of injured is being determined.
Lyakh also called on residents to stay in shelters and not to go outside without an urgent need.
It will be recalled that the other day in the city, rescuers unblocked a man's house destroyed by the enemy's morning shelling from under the rubble.
Earlier, Vadym Lyakh said that due to constant shelling, the number of people willing to evacuate from Slovyansk had increased. 23,000 people remain in the city. The authorities ensure safe and free evacuation.
The Republican National Committee is launching the new 10-hour four-course Republican Civics Initiative training course in Doral, Florida on Thursday
Goal is to help permanent legal residents – and future potential voters – with the civics part of the naturalization test It’s a Welcome Wagon kind of thing — for legal immigrants.
Course launch comes after footage emerged Wednesday showing a huge mob of hundreds of migrants lined up crossing the Rio Grande in Eagle Pass, Texas
Nearly 26,000 migrants were apprehended by Texas-area Customs and Border Patrol agents in under a week and in May CBP encountered 239,416 migrants
[Jpost] The NSC chief made it clear that Israel would act independently against the Islamic Republic regardless of Washington's view on the issue.
National Security Adviser Eyal Hulata, head of the National Security Council, on Thursday night became the first senior Israeli official to publicly confirm Israeli operations within Iranian territory in 2022.
“We have acted not infrequently over the last year... in Iran,” he said in an interview with Channel 13 in response to a series of questions about whether Jerusalem would act against Tehran directly even in the face of pressure from the US not to rock the boat too much while nuclear negotiations are ongoing.
Israel would act independently against the Islamic Republic regardless of Washington’s view on the issue, Hulata said, adding that this would just be a continuation of what it has already done for the last year.
Although multiple top officials have previously confirmed Mossad operations in Iran in 2022, and the Iranians themselves and sometimes US sources have made such attributions, Hulata was the first to go public.
IRANIAN TARGETS
No fewer than seven top Iranian nuclear, aerospace, drone and Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps officials were killed from late April to early June in a stunning wave of assassinations attributed by Iran to the Mossad, rivaling a wave of operations also attributed by foreign sources to the agency against Tehran in 2020 under former Mossad director Yossi Cohen and in the 2000s under Meir Dagan.
The operations all came after the US announced it would not delist the IRGC from its Foreign Terrorist Organizations list and during a multi-month freeze in nuclear negotiations.

[Breitbart] The United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) announced the record-breaking seizure of one million fake pills laced with fentanyl in Inglewood, California, on Thursday.
DEA agents executed a federal search warrant on July 5, which resulted in the seizure of one million fentanyl pills. The fentanyl-laced pills were linked to Mexico’s Sinaloa cartel. Agents executed the search warrant after investigating the drug trafficking organization since May.
The recent bust is the largest amount of fentanyl pills DEA agents have seized in California thus far. The fake fentanyl pills were reportedly worth $15 to $20 million.
The fentanyl-laced pills would come into the country through the southern border and stay in southern California until “house managers” could distribute the pills to drug dealers in other areas.
Mexican cartels “are mass-producing illicit fentanyl and fake pills pressed with fentanyl in filthy, clandestine, unregulated labs,” according to the DEA. As a result, more than 107,000 Americans died due to drug overdoses last year, according to CDC data.
DEA offices in the greater Los Angeles area seized more than three million fentanyl pills last year. From January through April of this year, they have seized roughly 1.5 million fentanyl pills, which is a 64 percent increase over the same period in 2021.

Russian Ministry of Defense releases new official and direct accusations of the USA violation of the Nuremberg Code and more direct criminal evidence against Hunter Biden!
[CNN] Sorry
The Biden administration on Friday extended the Covid-19 public health emergency for another three months.
The emergency declaration has been in place since January 2020, and the latest renewal comes as the Omicron offshoot BA.5, the most contagious variant yet, continues to stake its claim in the US. Daily case rates, though vastly undercounted, are the highest they’ve been in months, as are Covid-19 hospitalizations and deaths. Hospitalizations are up from rock-bottom of 1,415 on April 26, 2022 -- up to 4,180 Thursday. Compare with 26,019 on Jan. 23, 2022, and 29,733 on Jan. 6, 2021.
Deaths totaled 3,152 over the last seven days, down from 6,869 in a single day, three weeks after Joe took office - Feb. 13, 2021.
It's over, folks.

Coffins for children. Largest order in 30 years.
[Breitbart] A transgender, male-to-female, militia leader was sentenced to 14 years in prison on four charges related to domestic terrorism in a federal court in Illinois on Monday.
“Emily Claire” Hari, previously known as Michael B. Hari,
...in the archives as Michael Hari, and when in female mode as Emily Claire Hari, without scare quotes...
51, of Clarence, Illinois, was already convicted and serving a 53-year sentence for firebombing a mosque in Minnesota in August 2017.
Hari pleaded guilty in February to four charges relating to conspiracy to interfere with commerce by threats and violence, attempted arson, unlawful possession of a machinegun, and unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon.
In 2017, Hari founded and led a domestic terrorism group known as the “Patriot Freedom Fighters,” also nicknamed the “White Rabbits.” Fellow members — who are also now convicted conspirators — include Michael McWhorter, Joe Morris, Ellis J. Mack, and Wesley Johnson.
The group’s home “office” was in Hari’s hometown of Clarence.
Hari, McWhorter, Morris, and Johnson attempted to blow up the Women’s Health Practice with a pipe bomb in Champaign, Illinois, in November 2017, but the incendiary device did not detonate. The group intended to set the clinic on fire in the morning, but a receptionist found the pipe bomb on the floor upon arriving and called the authorities.
In December 2017, with Hari’s approval, the conspirators traveled to a Hispanic individual’s house — who they believed to be a drug trafficker — in Ambia, Indiana, and pretended to be law enforcement officials executing a search warrant while wearing their “White Rabbit” uniforms. The armed group broke in and zip-tied the individual and searched his house before leaving.
The conspirators, in December 2017, with the approval of Hari, also committed armed robberies at two separate Walmarts in Illinois, confronting the cashiers for money.
The group also attempted to bomb railroad tracks owned by the Canadian National Railway in January 2018. After their botched attempt, the group sent an extortion email to the company, threatening to blow up more railroad tracks if the company did not pay them $190,000 in cryptocurrency.
In February 2018, the group attempted to set incendiary-device-making materials at an individual’s house in Clarence in an attempt to have authorities investigate the individual. This was before Hari was set to go on trial for alleged assault charges committed on the same individual.
After the FBI investigated the tip, following receiving a tip from Hari, the conspirators became concerned that authorities might seize their weapons, including machine guns. They tried moving the weapons to a fellow militia member’s home, but they were seized by the FBI.
The conspirators, minus Johnson, left Clarence and hid in the woods and abandoned barns while making videos in their militia gear, requesting assistance from other militia groups.
Hari posted a video on March 10, 2018, saying that the authorities were terrorizing Clarence but was arrested just days after, the Chicago Tribune reported.
Prior to Hari’s sentencing, fellow conspirators were also sentenced for their actions in the militia group.
Per the Department of Justice (DOJ):
On April 15, 2022, Johnson was sentenced to 66 months of imprisonment for his role in the conspiracy by U.S. District Judge Donovan W. Frank in the District of Minnesota. On April 12, 2022, McWhorter was sentenced to 190 months (15 years and 10 months) of imprisonment by Judge Frank on both the Illinois and Minnesota charges. On that same date, Judge Frank sentenced Joe Morris to 170 months (14 years and 2 months) of imprisonment. On March 8, 2022, Judge Mihm sentenced Ellis Mack to 42 months of imprisonment (time served).

Having #ISIS militants targeted by the US in Syrian areas occupied by #Turkey and its affiliated #SNA reveals relation between extremists and the Turkish state. https://t.co/zg27Zotdyk
— NORTH PRESS AGENCY - ENGLISH (@NPA_English) July 15, 2022
[Epoch Times, paywall removed] Special counsel John Durham asked a federal court to send out 30 subpoenas for testimony in the pending trial against research analyst Igor Danchenko, who was the alleged main source for the discredited "Steele dossier" that targeted former President Donald Trump.
In a June 13 filing, Durham’s team said, "It is respectfully requested that the Clerk of said Court issue subpoenas as indicated below for appearance of said Court in Alexandria, Virginia ... to testify on behalf of the United States" on Oct. 11.
The judge in the case is U.S. District Judge Anthony Trenga, who was appointed by former President George W. Bush in 2008.
Danchenko, who has pleaded not guilty, is charged with lying to the FBI. Durham alleges that he made five false statements to the FBI in connection to information he provided to former UK spy Christopher Steele, who was hired by an opposition research company on behalf of a law firm working for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign.
"The FBI ultimately devoted substantial resources attempting to investigate and corroborate the allegations contained in" the dossier, including whether Danchenko’s sub-sources were reliable, the indictment states. The dossier and information provided by Danchenko "played a role in the FBI’s investigative decisions and in sworn representations that the FBI made to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court throughout the relevant time period," according to last year’s complaint.

Ghazwa-e-Hind, which Pakistani terrorists have used against India for several decades came back in a big way into the narrative following the decision by the Narendra Modi government to abrogate Article 370.
The destruction of India has always been on the agenda of Jihadi elements and clarion call for Ghazwa-e-Hind has been given several times. Amidst this, Bihar police read out an excerpt from an eight-page document titled 'India Vision 2047' on Wednesday. Reading out the excerpt attributed to the PFI, the police said, "Even if 10 per cent Muslim population rally behind the vision, then they could subjugate the coward majority community and bring back the glory."
This revelation came at a time when the Rutgers University said in its latest report that hate speech directed towards the Hindu community has increased significantly across social media.
The report titled: 'Anti-Hindu Disinformation: A Case Study of Hinduphobia on Social Media' discusses about the patterns in which hate against the Hindu community is being spread. The members of the Network Contagion Lab at Rutgers University-New Brunswick (NC Lab) said that there was evidence of a sharp rise in hate speech directed towards the Hindu community across numerous social media platforms.
An Intelligence Bureau official tells OneIndia that there has been a systematic attempt for several years now to subjugate the Hindu community in India. We saw what happened in Kashmir and the manner in which the Kashmiri Pandits were treated, the officer said while adding that this was also part of the Ghazwa-e-Hind plan.
The issue was also discussed by Ilyas Kashmiri the head of the Al-Qaeda's 313 Brigade ahead of the Mumbai 26/11 attacks. Following the attacks, the ISI had tasked Kashmiri to oversee the Karachi Project in order to achieve the larger goal of Ghazwa-e-Hind. He trained several terrorists at the Mangala dam near Islamabad. Several operative were sent to Gujarat and Kashmir with the instruction to carry out blasts across the country and instil fear among the Hindus.
Some instances of achieving the larger goals both in a conventional as well as unconventional manner are the targeted killing of Hindus, the anti Hindu and the propaganda around Hinduphobia, anti- CAA protests, the recent riots just to name a few.
At a July meeting of the Al Qaeda last year, the Ghazwa-e-Hind was the main topic of discussion. It was said that the first priority would be to take over Kashmir and once this was done the entire map of India would be changed. On the Kashmir issue the leaders of the outfit said that Kashmiris had been fighting the Hindus even before the birth of Pakistan. Islam and Kashmir and Islam and Pakistan are not separate, they said.
Last year when the Uttar Pradesh police busted a terror module and arrested two operatives. It was revealed that they belonged to the Al Qaeda's Ghazwa-e-Hind module. The two members of the group identified as Minhaz Ahmed and Maseeruddin revealed that they were told by their handlers to strike terror in India as part of the larger plan of Ghazwa-e-Hind. They even spoke about a resolution by the Al Qaeda that was passed in the Okara district of Pakistan in 2017. The outfit had decided that they would continue with their Ghazwa-e-Hind operation irrespective of how ties between India and Pakistan would be.

subjugate the coward majority community and bring back the glory.
Seriously, if the civ leadership here was not paranoid about displeasing all the 'gora sahibs' out there? This country would reduce its moslem population to 1-2% in a year. And all by citizens.
Partly the reason why Asian governments are secretly looking forward to the LSDs and the globalists dragging the west down the spiral it's in. The US and EU are the primary protectors of moslems, they stand in our way of kill kill killing them. It's unfortunate. Really unfortunate. But the humanistic philosophies ingrained in the UDHR and other trite inanities like it have led the west into some kind of Aldous Huxley wonderland where secularism is sacrosanct and islam can be safely accommodated with humanity.

1- Forkbeard is really a Russian trying to make Ukrainians look bad, in which case we'd all have to agree that he's doing a hell of a good job.
2- Forkbeard is a senior member of the Biden administration, and Badanov has made The List.
3- Forkbeard is Hillary Clinton -- in which case we can't help you, Badanov.

Ukraine and the Biden advisory are making a critical error in believing Putin was bluffing about nukes and MAD. Which is where these high hopes of 'russian war criminals' being tried are coming from.
#13
Ukraine was used as a wedge to get Trump. I hope DeSantis announces at inauguration that Ukraine is not America's concern, and we will send no money or arms there and all DoD and DoS employees' emails and files will be scanned for Ukraine involvement leading to removal from gummint service.

Oh my lord, that man is funny! He’s making threats like a melodrama villain — all he needs is a mustache to twirl.
I’ll let our military people explain to dear little Flater Forkbeard8651 how the Geneva Conventions define war crimes, and how none of that applies to private citizens talking to each other in third countries on the other side of the world.

FWIW as far as I’ve seen Putin doesn’t bluff. Another observation is that the first deal he offers is the best - subsequent ones are more skewed in Russia’s favor. Your mileage may vary

Dron,
Are you still "rootin' for Putin," as you said here back when the war started?
You're pro-Russia, right?
Most of lour fellow countrymen are pro-Russia. You are, correct?
btw have you read Putin's recent speech about the stupidity and incompetence of the West's leaders? It could have been written by any number of Western dissidents -- Hanson, Orban, Wilders, Le Pen, Derbyshire or any of the substack dissidents like Berenson, Malone, et al...
Have you read the speech?
What did you think of it?

You have memes. Russia has destroyed Ukraine, Russia has ruined the economies of the West and destroyed two core Western governments (UK and Italy), crippled a third (France) and us on track to make Biden a lame duck.
Russia has won the war and is uniting the leading non-western economies -- more than 60% of world GDP and more than 80% of population -- Russia us rallying the non-West to oppose and bring down the West.
The Germans, French and Italians will but tojerate this absurd bullshit from the pathetic little elites. Why do Americans cabs tojerate this shit?

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Data from the National Grid shows that Britain has been piping over electricity to France, Belgium and the Netherlands via undersea cables each month since April.
The electricity shortfall in Europe has been put down to an unusual shutdown in French nuclear power stations, with half of its 56 reactors offline in May for maintenance, refueling or due to unexpected problems such as corrosion.
While the UK is usually a net importer of electricity to help balance its grid, British gas-fired power stations have taken advantage of increased shipments of liquefied natural gas (LNG) arriving from the US, Qatar and also Peru to generate more electricity for export. Peru. PERU?
As much as 43 per cent of the UK's electricity comes from renewable sources such as wind and solar, but when the sun is not shining or the wind not blowing the country often needs to import to offset these times.
The last time the country was a net exporter on a monthly basis was in November 2017.
The government recently ordered the National Grid to keep open two coal-fired power plants that were due to be shuttered in September as the ongoing energy crisis sidelines efforts to generate green energy.
It is expected that the UK will continue to help France make up its shortfall in nuclear output for the rest of the year.
The grids of both countries talk on a 'continuous basis' and offer each other mutual support in times of stress, according to the head of the National Grid ESO, Fintan Slye.
Despite the UK's status as a net exporter of electricity, this is not expected to shield consumers from 'extreme pricing' and a reliance on coal could lead to some period of 'very tight margins' between supply and demand, Hewitt warned.
Cornwall Insight has predicted that gas and electricity bills for British households will rise 65 per cent to more than £3,200 a year in October and from there jump to over £3,360 in January.

Nuclear power supplies 70% of France’s requirements yet half their plants are offline. Coincidentally Russia supplies 20% of their nuclear fuel. Shaping up to be “interesting times”

US and EU pressure on Norway to increase gas production is having labor issues at this time. Strike perhaps in two weeks for pay increases because of inflation. Then this "To make matters worse, news of two gas leaks at its Sleipner complex in the Norwegian North Sea has been reported. Owing to the leaks, Equinor (Energy Company) shut the giant production complex down, reducing Norway’s natural gas output just as it is trying to ramp up to meet European demand. Processes are reportedly expected to be normalised in a couple of days but the difficulties in repairing critical infrastructure could take months".

Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. by Evgeniy Tsots
[REGNUM] Russia, as in the Battle of the Neva in 1240, delivered a preemptive blow to the West.
The events taking place in the world say that the West is conducting a new attack on Russia. There were many of them in history, and one of the first among those recorded for posterity ended exactly 782 years ago with the Battle of the Neva. Russian troops, commanded by Prince Alexander Nevsky, defeated the Swedish invaders on July 15, 1240, inflicting a preemptive strike on them.
Over the past almost eight centuries, the West has changed its face more than once, turning into the Teutonic Order, Sweden, the Commonwealth, the Empire of Napoleon, the Third Reich or NATO, but each time it had a single goal - the weakening of Russia and its dismemberment. The reason is known and has been called openly more than once: our country has too much territory and too many resources for one country.
Eh? Who says that?
However, every time the population of Russia (Rus, the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union) rallied around the leader and rebuffed the enemy.
The current leader of the country, Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke about the heroism of our ancestors and their devotion to their Fatherland . One of the first in the list of defenders of the country, he called the Grand Duke Alexander Nevsky.
"We love our beloved Motherland just as Alexander Nevsky and Peter the Great loved it, defended by Generalissimo Alexander Suvorov and Admiral Fyodor Ushakov, commanders Kutuzov and Bagration, Red Army soldier Alexander Matrosov and Captain Nikolai Gastello, Major Roman Filippov and Senior Lieutenant Nurmagomed Gadzhimagomedov and many, many others," Putin said at the end of June at a meeting with graduates of military universities.
Is it possible to compare the distant times of the Neva battle with the present? There are parallels that point directly to this. Both then and now, the West sought to make the peoples living along its borders hostile to Russia. At the beginning of the 13th century, the Swedes and Germans seized the border territories to the Karelian, Finnish, Baltic and Slavic tribes and wanted to baptize the neighbors of the Novgorod Republic into the Catholic faith. Thus, the peoples fell into the sphere of influence of the West and were included in the confrontation with Russia.
The modern West has planted Russophobia in the countries surrounding Russia, and also expanded the NATO bloc to the east. The battering ram in his strategy was Ukraine, where Western ideologists and political technologists built “anti-Russia” based on old Polish and Austrian developments. The West pumped Kyiv with weapons from the warehouses of Eastern European countries, launched a network of biolaboratories and even planned Ukraine's refusal of a nuclear-free status.
Another circumstance is the obvious confrontation between the West and Russia. Shortly before the Battle of the Neva, Pope Gregory IX set the task of subjugating and catholizing the tribes on the border with Russia in order to further subjugate the Russian principalities and convert them to Catholicism. The West tried to use the historical moment - the weakening of Russia due to the attack of the Horde. An analogue of NATO in those years was the union of Sweden and the Livonian Order (part of the Teutonic Order).
Today, Russia is confronted by the North Atlantic Alliance, made up of the United States and its satellites. The bloc was originally created as anti-Soviet, and after the collapse of the USSR, contrary to agreements with the Soviet leadership, a number of states of the former socialist camp, including some republics of the Soviet Union, were included in its composition. The only goal of the bloc could be to advance to the borders of Russia. At the same time, long before the military operation in Ukraine, our country was openly indicated in NATO documents as the main threat.
The danger to the Fatherland both then and now is so great that the Russian people see only one possibility for their salvation - to rally around the national leader. In the Novgorod Republic, the prince did not have full power and was dependent on the nobility, (Boyars)
who could invite him or, conversely, drive him away. However, with the outbreak of hostilities, Alexander received the full support of both the boyars and ordinary residents. In addition to the princely squad, several detachments of the city nobility and the militia were gathered in Novgorod. The whole people united around the figure of Alexander Nevsky.
With the start of the Russian special operation in Ukraine, sociological polls show a high level of awareness of national interests and confidence in the course of President Putin. Moreover, in addition to the data of sociologists, deeds speak about this. For example, the activity of volunteers who joined the army and signed a contract, the activities of volunteer groups, as well as numerous events and statements in support of the RF Armed Forces.
Before the battle, Prince Alexander Nevsky gave the Russian army a parting word that has swept through the centuries and is relevant to this day: "God is not in power, but in truth."
Russian soldiers defended their home and therefore were ready to confront the numerically superior Swedish army. Nevsky's words were changed and folded into a principle by Danila Bagrov from the movie "Brother", who declared that "the power is in truth." Russia sincerely tried to build partnerships with the West, each time being deceived and robbed. Events have come to a point where the desire of imaginary partners to put our country under the knife became obvious. And under the onslaught of information pressure and foreign propaganda, Russian society withstands the blow, focusing on the truth.
Another sign of equality between the events of one millennium puts military skill, the skills of which warriors show on the battlefield. The Novgorod army of Nevsky was able to deliver a preemptive strike, since the prince had intelligence on the movement of the Swedish army. As a result, the losses of the Swedes many times exceeded the losses of the Russians.
In the course of a special operation, the Russian Armed Forces develop the offensive throughout all hostilities, using the tactics of "small boilers", cutting off the enemy's path to supplies and reserves. The nationalists are surrounded by the sheer superiority of Russian firepower and overwhelmed by the impossibility of a counteroffensive.
Russian lands for the West have always seemed a source of enrichment. In the Novgorod Republic, the main resource for the Pope, the Swedes and Germans were people who conducted economic activities and paid taxes. It was the taxes of newly converted Catholics that served as bait for the troops. Now the West's key interest lies in the natural resources that Russia is rich in.
Yes, but we’re lazy, and would rather pay Russia a reasonably fair price to sell it to us than exert ourselves to conquer and get it out ourselves. We didn’t even help ourselves to Iraq’s oil during the two decades we were over there.
A high level of consumption requires an economy based on the processing of large quantities of raw materials. However, their own sources ended several centuries ago, and since then the West has waged colonial wars around the world. From this point of view, Russia is the tastiest piece of the planet, almost undeveloped and not even explored. Politicians in the West regularly make claims that Russia has too many resources for one country.
And, finally, another circumstance that allows not only to draw parallels with the events of 1240, but also inspires optimism, was the fact of a preemptive strike. Intelligence of Alexander Nevsky collected enough information about the Swedes for a surprise attack. As a result, she predetermined the course of events and ensured the victory of the Russian army.
In Ukraine, NATO forces prepared a springboard for unleashing a war between the West and Russia. However, the start of a special military operation was the same preemptive strike that took the enemy by surprise. Most of the stocks of prepared weapons were destroyed in the first weeks of hostilities, the military infrastructure was damaged. As a result, the West has lost the initiative and can no longer count on a military victory.

[DW] The co-founder of the Guadalajara cartel was on the 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... 's Most Wanted list for murdering a US agent. His rise to prominence was dramatized in the Netflix series "Narcos: Mexico."
The Mexican military captured notorious drug lord Rafael Caro Quintero on Friday, after he spent five years on the FBI's Most Wanted list for the torture and murder of an American anti-narcotics agent in 1985.
Caro Quintero spent 28 years in prison for the murder of Enrique "Kiki" Camarena and other crimes but walked free in 2013 on a technicality. He quickly returned to drug trafficking and was named one of the FBI's 10 Most Wanted Fugitives with a bounty of $20 million (€19.8 million) — the highest amount on the list.
The kingpin co-founded the Guadalajara cartel, one of Latin America's most powerful drug trafficking organizations during the 1980s, which also remains active today. His escapades were dramatized in the 2018 Netflix series "Narcos: Mexico."
"It is probably one of the most important captures of the last decade in terms of importance to the DEA," said Mike Vigil, a former chief of international operations with the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).
He added: "This will hopefully start to mend the frayed relationship between the United States and Mexico in terms of combating drug trafficking."
THE WAR ON DRUGS CONTINUES
Just hours after Caro Quintero's arrest, a Mexican navy Blackhawk helicopter carrying 15 people crashed in his home state of Sinaloa. The accident killed 14 people on board. The government did not clarify whether the helicopter was involved in the capture of the runaway drug lord.
Cecilia Duarte, an activist muppet in the neighboring state of Sonora who works with a team of volunteers to locate clandestine graves of the disappeared, said Caro Quintero's capture could help pacify the Guadalajara cartel's pie fights with the sons of "El Chapo."
"I believe in Sonora, in general, there could be calm, and yes, relief for us, because I believe the disappearances will diminish,'' Duarte said.
But she added that Caro Quintero is just one figure in Mexico's bloody war on drugs. "The conflict doesn't end," she said.
Yesterday he suffered a classic Nangarhar Peer Review. This is the traditional follow up.
[ToloNews] The body of the famous holy man, Sheikh Sardar Wali Saqib, who according to relatives was killed by unknown gunnies in Kabul, was buried on Thursday in Nangarhar The unfortunate Afghan province located adjacent to Mohmand, Kurram, and Khyber Agencies.

Nangarhar is Haqqani country.. province.
Other holy mans who participated in the funeral ceremony of Saqib called on the Islamic Emirate to identify the killers of Saqib.
"When my friends were informed, we called him. His phones were off. When it was 9 pm we opened the room and he was martyred there," said Mohammad Wali, brother of Saqib.
"He has done good religious service here. His lessons will be published on the internet and Facebook," said Abdul Wadod, a teacher at a religious seminary.
The funeral ceremony was held in Jalalabad city.
"I call on the Islamic Emirate officials to immediately and effectively prevent the plots of the enemies of Islam," said Mawlawi Bayanullah Hameed, a holy man.
The Ministry of Interior in a statement confirmed the killing of Saqib in PD 5 of Kabul.
The head of the intelligence department of Nangarhar, Dr. Basheer, said that the issue is being investigated.
"This action has been taken by the enemies of the Islamic holy mans and they try to cause disunity among our people, they are the people outside of Islam," he said.
Mawlawi Sheikh Sardar Wali Saqib is from Khogiano district of eastern Nangarhar province.
He had recently worked as the head of the Naranjbagh Darol Ulom in Jalalabad.

Reducing the need for Russian oil, at least so long as the desire for the money flowing into Libya keeps them from fighting among themselves enough to damage the equipment or cause a temper tantrum that shuts it all down again.
[DW] Tribal groups have agreed to end a blockade of Libya's oil production facilities after 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... installed a new leader at the National Oil Company (NOC). The move comes amid high global demand for oil.
Libya's National Oil Company (NOC) on Friday announced it had lifted force majeure on the country's oil fields and ports. Force majeure allows a firm to get out of contractual obligations due to unforeseen circumstances. add: Beyond their control
The announcement followed a decision by tribal groups to drop a monthslong blockade of facilities after the government in Tripoli appointed Farhat Bengdara as new head of the NOC Thursday.
The groups, which are aligned with military strongman Khalifa Hifter, leader of the eastern Libyan National Army (LNA), had reduced Libyan oil output by as much as 850,000 barrels per day (bpd), according to the NOC.
Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibah of Libya's Government of National Unity (GNU) appointed Bengdara to replace Mustafa Sanalla, who had led the NOC since 2014.
Sanalla vehemently rejected the appointment, claiming Dbeibah did not have the authority to fire him and that the company still answered to him. The country's eastern parliament, too, has rejected the move.
Observers fear the situation could lead to a fracturing of the NOC, with the US warning the situation could lead to conflict.
DEAL ALLOWS PM DBEIBAH TO STAY IN POWER
Bengdara, an ally of Hifter, met with the tribal leaders behind the blockade and his appointment is largely seen as part of an agreement with Hifter to end the standoff.
On Thursday, Bengdara spoke at NOC headquarters in Tripoli, saying: "It's vitally important under the current conditions that Libya regains its oil and gas export capacity as quickly as possible. The oil sector has fallen prey to political struggles, but we will work to prevent political interference."
The tribal groups had reportedly been seeking the resignation of Prime Minister Dbeibah, who on Thursday appeared at NOC headquarters alongside armed forces, but decided to stop the blockade after Sanalla's firing.
Sanalla's replacement was reported to have been one of groups' demands, the other was that Dbeibah himself step down in favor of Fathi Bashaga, whom parliament had designated to replace him. Dbeibah, however, has refused to give way and Sanalla's firing is seen as a move that will enable him to remain in power.
The lifting of the export halt comes as countries around the world scramble to secure oil and gas supplies amid rising prices and limited availability due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Last year, Libyan oil production at times reached 1.2 billion bpd. The country possesses Africa's largest proven reserves of crude and has easy access to European markets.
[ToloNews] Residents of the Sayed Abad district in Maidan Wardak province said that there is no school in the "Boghakai" neighborhood and that they have started building a school at their own expense for 5.1 million Afs. "But we need 50.1 million Afs for insurance premiums"
According to the residents, most of the districts of the province do not have schools, and students have to walk a long distance to get to school.
"We have collected 100 Afs from each person, and those who now live in Iran, 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 other countries have helped us too," said Haji Karim Dad, a resident of Maidan Wardak.
"The people of this area come here every day and take part in the construction of this school. The stone and sand were also brought by people," said Mohammad Basir, another resident of Maidan Wardak.
Some students who complained that the government officials do not pay attention to the lack of schools in the province said they are happy with the construction of this school.
"It takes hours to attend schools in this province, schools are far away from us, if this school is built for us, it will be very good for us," said Yasir Shah, a student.
"Schools are very far from our area, students are facing many problems," said Hasibullah, another student.
Meanwhile, ...back at the shootout, Butch shot Ike through the elbow. Take that, Ike! he yelled...... local officials of Maidan Wardak welcome the decision of the residents of the province, saying they are trying to provide educational opportunities for the remote districts of the province.
"We praise their sense that they are building a school with their own money, and we ... reassured them that they should let us know if they run into any difficulties," said Safiullah Rayed, director of the Information and Culture of Maidan Wardak.

[FoxNews] California has excess solar panel waste and limited means of disposal, The Times reported.
The Los Angeles Times published a report Thursday detailing the "environmental danger" of expired solar panels on the environment.
"California has been a pioneer in pushing for rooftop solar power, building up the largest solar market in the U.S.," the article began. "More than 20 years and 1.3 million rooftops later, the bill is coming due." See: Preview of EV Battery expirations
The Times' Rachel Kisela reported that many solar panels that were purchased beginning in 2006, when the California government "showered subsidies on homeowners" to inspire a transition away from fossil fuels, are now reaching the end of their lifespan.
"Beginning in 2006, the state, focused on how to incentivize people to take up solar power, showered subsidies on homeowners who installed photovoltaic panels but had no comprehensive plan to dispose of them. Now, panels purchased under those programs are nearing the end of their 25-year lifecycle," Kisela reported.
The problem is, when solar panels end up in landfills, "components that contain toxic heavy metals such as selenium and cadmium can contaminate groundwater."
This is an example of how environmental policies can have unintended consequences. "The looming challenge over how to handle truckloads of contaminated waste illustrates how cutting-edge environmental policy can create unforeseen hazards down the road," she said.
The Times reported that "as California barreled ahead on its renewable-energy program, focusing on rebates and — more recently — a proposed solar tax, questions about how to handle the toxic waste that would accrue years later were never fully addressed."
"Now, both regulators and panel manufacturers are realizing that they don’t have the capacity to handle what comes next," she continued.
Toxic waste from solar panels is not just a Californian problem, but a problem nationwide. "About 140,000 panels are installed every day in the United States, and the solar industry is expected to quadruple in size between 2020 and 2030," Kisela said.
But there are difficulties surrounding disposal of solar panels: "Recycling solar panels isn’t a simple process. Highly specialized equipment and workers are needed to separate the aluminum frame and junction box from the panel without shattering it into glass shards."
"Specialized furnaces are used to heat panels to recover silicon. In most states, panels are classified as hazardous materials, which require expensive restrictions on packaging, transport and storage," she continued.
"A lack of consumer awareness about the toxicity of materials in the panels and how to dispose of them is part of the problem," Kisela wrote.
Yep! Earth Huggy 1st radical Liberal Democrat types.
BTW: How much $$$ Billion did the US Taxpayers give the Solar Power Panel manufactures and somehow $$ Millions made it back as (LSD) Campaign donations certain DC Swamp pockets in various ways?

[Breitbart] John Baker, professor emeritus of law at Louisiana State University Law School, warned that ideological, philosophical, and political minorities can seize control of countries without popular support if citizens are disengaged from politics.
“The Revolutionary War was won by less than a majority of people supporting independence, so minorities can actually take over countries,” Baker stated on Monday’s edition of SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with host Alex Marlow.
A politically disconnected citizenry is vulnerable to a type of hostile takeover of government and other institutions of power, he added.
Baker continued, “It is absolutely critical that people understand where this is all going, and if they don’t wake up and do something about it, there will be the attempt to continue to concentrate power.”
Baker described the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in West Virginia v. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as the implementation of a constitutional blockade against a federal government takeover of America’s electrical power system. He analogized the EPA’s attempt to categorize carbon dioxide emissions as “pollution” — ostensibly to combat what it describes as “climate change” driven by fossil fuel consumption — to the Obama administration’s moves to seize control of health care via the Affordable Care Act, also known as “Obamacare.”
“You have to think of this against the background of Obamacare,” Baker said in his analysis of West Virginia v. Environmental Protection Agency. “That was a big move to take over a very large part of the economy, which was health care, and now comes along the attempt to take over the electrical power system in the country. That’s what it’s all about.”
The EPA’s attempts to seize control of the country’s electricity production and distribution is part of a broader campaign waged by the “administrative state” towards further centralization of control in the hands of the federal bureaucracy, Baker observed.
He remarked, “You have to put this against the deeper background of the administrative state, and that’s what Justice Gorsuch was doing in his concurring opinion — and he and the dissent written by Justice Kagan went at it — and what it really came down to is Justice Kagan said was that the majority — but especially Justice Gorsuch — was going after the administrative state. That’s exactly right, because what’s happened is the Congress doesn’t do its job, and it turns it over to the administrative state.”
Baker said the Democrat Party and broader left are worried about future U.S. Supreme Court rulings enforcing constitutional restraints on federal government powers following the West Virginia v. Environmental Protection Agency decision.
He stated, “I don’t think [the decision] is a one-off, and more importantly, the left doesn’t think it’s a one-off. They worry that this whole thing is going to really go after the administrative state and pull it down.”
Baker considered how news media would react if right-wing people were intimidating or threatening left-wing justices.
“What’s really amazing is the unwillingness of those charged with law enforcement to protect the justices,” he determined. “I mean, if the shoe were on the other foot and the right was doing this — which it never does — there would be outrage. There would be the argument that we’re overthrowing democracy.”

Let's leave "bloc" behavior to the grievance groups. When I speak up on any issue of special treatment for anyone else, I should say "I'm stating my opposition to this as an individual. The moment you try to bring my race or sex (I don't play the "gender" game) into it, you are saying you are not to be taken seriously, and you should be ignored."

Obrador is the head of the MORENA political party that he created that means "Brown Skin". He is against the war on drugs and even though he wants American employers to employ Mexican workers he does not want those American companies in his country as "property owners".

Recruiting for some volunteer battalions began in June but has intensified in July, with new volunteer units being reported daily.
