^ never say never. Bypass damage is possible. I would suggest teaching University facility. Study and discovery. FDA approval should be quick as mice being so similar to humans. NIH possibly and if approved possibly no cost to patient. Physician referral.
BLUF:
[USSA News] "Never again!" was the great hue and cry, in remembrance of the Holocaust. We’ll never let bullies hurt the weak again. But here we are the greatest nation, effeminate and ’Woke", almost to a critical mass, and sitting in the Devils cross hairs. It will be unfortunate, for us, if he does exist.And he does. He just never cared for the whole Halloween costume thing. He tries his best to seem amiable and harmless.
There is nothing left to do but ask Google for advice.
What can we search? And, of that which we find, what can we trust?
Part I, a simple exercise: If we search under’Proponents of Depopulation’, would it be fair to expect to be shown the craziest "Conspiracy Theorists"first, along with the rantings of the most easily dismissed? Maybe so. But there are so many and their names so often recognizable. Start with Bill Gates and the likes of George Soros. See who you can find among the other Captains of Pharmacopeia. But don’t stop there. Who belongs to the World Economic Counsel? Decide to find 50 such proponents and then find out who they are and how great their influence and power. Find out what they are thinking. Find out what they are planning. Find out how many they think should be set off somewhere to the side, to make the world a pleasant, more enjoyable place.
Part II of the exercise: Search United Nations Agenda 21... Agenda 2030 ... Agenda 2050’. The UN publishes them, but, if you talk about them, you have moved again,outside of that realm of ’Community Standards’, and will be likely cancelled and hushed.
What spirit inhabits this cloud of toxic lies? If it sells, it tells what the sheep will believe. Little lies and then bigger lies and finally monstrous lies.
It came from Chinese bats, a natural misfortune!
The Chinese Communists stopped internal travel out of Wuhan, but let their infected travelers flood the world. Nothing to see there.
Democrats howled against limiting the effects of this act of war...till the claws of the disease were buried deep in the flesh of America. Then they howled at Trump’s supposed failure to stop it.
It mainly kills the old but (uniquely Democrat) Governors sent the infected back to the nursing homes ...out of a sense of compassion!
Just a couple weeks, just a couple months, just until herd immunity, just until the vaccine, just until 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, or now, not until all are vaccinated. Just ’til you have learned to obey and believe. Just ’til Tyranny owns the world.Or millions will die! Step aside, you murderers, or we will break you, for the people’s good. How dare you refuse!
Those, who could read the writing on the wall, have refused to take an untested vaccine. That isn’t a vaccine. The use of which could only have been legal if there were no other remedies. Which there were. So HCQ, Azithromycin, Zinc, Vitamins, Ivermectin, Budesonide and others, all proven safe and effective, are slandered, minimized, prohibited and the organs of propaganda pretend they never existed, pretend that the doctors offering the living proofs of the cured, are every slithering and vile thing. Doctors who would simply think and analyze and heal are threatened with impossible fines and the loss of their licenses. Pharmacies refuse to fill their prescriptions.
These are the results. Billions enough are earned by the Pharmaceutical Corporations to buy most politicians or pay enough lawyers to make the unbending toe the line. A host of extra-legal emergency dictates are announced, that enable a corrupt election. The last one who seemed to stand in the way, seems to have been removed. But we’ll have to wait and see about that.
A novel lie, for a novel virus, that dying "with" a disease is the same as dying because of it, blowing up a flu season’s statistical death-rate norm by a factor of at least ten (while, miraculously, ending any reporting of the flu entirely) and attaining those ridiculous numbers by way of a test that offered massive false positives (acknowledged and dialed back radically the very day that Biden was sworn in). Having taken the same peculiar turn of re-definition as we, the Italian government recently revisited their mortality statistics and announced that, of the previous numbers claimed, only 3% actually died because of the disease itself, while the rest died with the disease (or at least as defined by dubious testing or profit seeking medical authorities). In short, they admitted that the true mortality rate was no greater than the annual flu, unless you were already dying.

[AmericanConservative] When American universities began to omit standardized testing scores there were concerns that excellence was yielding to dogma. Hard science requires hard numbers. Which is to say that replacing quantitative test data with teacher recommendations, grade point averages, and personal narratives is opting for an approach that is necessarily less scientific, as the information involved is not referenced against a uniform (i.e. standard) set of metrics. Proponents will respond that stepping away from universal ranking is intentional. From their vantage point it’s not about selecting for raw achievement but rather imposing equality of opportunity.
So perhaps it’s only natural that advocates in California are now looking to update the state’s public school curriculum for mathematics. Not content to alter the application process in higher education, officials also want to impose their worldview onto the foundation of science itself. They’ve set their sights on its lingua franca─mathematics─and their reform campaign offers a glimpse of where the United States may be headed.
Norm Matloff, a computer science professor at U.C. Davis, reports that the philosophical undercurrents driving the new guidelines include the notions that showing your work and arriving at the “right” answer aren’t important since they’re relics of “white supremacy.” They also include the belief that accelerated tracks of instruction for gifted students that include more difficult classes like calculus should be avoided.
If you’re surprised by these educational tenets, rest assured that you’re not alone. A group that includes several hundred university professors signed an open letter to Governor Gavin Newsom warning him that “there is no realistic hope for a more fair, just, equal and well-stewarded society if our schools uproot long-proven, reliable and highly effective math methods and instead try to build a mathless Brave New World on a foundation of unsound ideology.”
The warning signs have been visible for some time and now the chickens are coming home to roost. In the 2020-2021 school year the California school system lost over 160,000 students compared to the previous year.
One California father (whom I’ll refer to as Boomer since he asked not to be identified) recently established his own school in the Bay Area. He notes that “our local public school was teaching math at a level about two years behind the international best-practice standard. The fourth grade students were still mastering addition, and just being exposed to multiplication tables.”
I wanted to resort to smirks and sneers -- with an ironic post a la "maff be rayciss" or somesuch -- but it's just not funny any more.
This madness isn't aimed at destroying white supremacy. It's a nuclear warhead that will destroy America's technological, scientific and ultimately our economic and military supremacy.
When a future Gibbon writes his history of the decline and fall of the American Republic, there will be a special chapter for the insane destruction of math education across the land.
This must be deliberate. They cannot be this stupid, can they?
[AlGhadeerTV] The legacy of De Klerk’s role in South Africa’s transition from apartheid to democracy remains highly contested.
The death of South Africa’s last white president Frederik Willem (FW) de Klerk has drawn mixed reactions.
De Klerk, who negotiated the end of white minority rule and a peaceful transfer of power to a Black-led government, died on Thursday aged 85, after a battle with cancer.
De Klerk won praise worldwide for his role in scrapping apartheid and he shared the Nobel Peace Prize with Mandela in 1993. The following year Mandela won South Africa’s first multi-racial elections with his African National Congress (ANC).
But de Klerk’s role in the transition to democracy remains highly contested nearly 30 years after the end of apartheid.
Many Black people were angered by his failure to curb political violence in the turbulent years leading up to the 1994 multi-racial elections, while right-wing white Afrikaners, who had long ruled the country under de Klerk’s National Party, viewed him as a traitor to their cause of white supremacy.
Here are some of the early reactions to de Klerk’s death:
Al Ghadeer chose some unexpected personalities to quote.
[Daily Wire] The Internal Revenue Service revealed that it would adjust federal income tax brackets and deductions in light of rising price levels in the United States.
On Wednesday, the Department of Labor announced that year-over-year inflation for consumer prices reached 6.2% in October — the highest increase in thirty years. Prices for fuel, used vehicles, and food saw significant increases.
Also on Wednesday, the IRS raised income tax rate thresholds for tax year 2022 to prevent "bracket creep" — defined by the Tax Foundation as inflation pushing taxpayers into higher income tax brackets or reducing the value of credits, deductions, and exemptions, resulting in higher taxes without higher income.
Fox Business reports that most of the tax rates rose by 3% — the largest increase in four years.
For individual filers, the brackets are as follows:
[Guns America] Late last year, Springfield Armory introduced the latest evolution of the XDM series of handguns in the form of XD-M Elite series. And those Elites do live up to the name. This new series got some serious upgrades which you can read about here. In short, Springfield evolved the XDM line to compete in a new market of extremely high quality out of the box guns. Mag wells, new META trigger, enhanced stylings- all of which were needed to play with the FN 509 series, SIG P320X5, and Canik Elite.

I like my Coonan Classic 1911 in .357 Mag. It also has a recoil spring that will quickly prove you are or are not in possession of a good grip and upper arm strength. Since they aren't made anymore, I don't want to use it much as it's a bit collectible.

[Rudaw] The spokesperson for the Iraqi foreign ministry told Rudaw on Thursday that they have begun registering Iraqis who are stuck on the Belarusian-Polish borders to bring them back home.
"Early today, with instructions from the Iraqi foreign minister, the Iraqi Embassy in Moscow began registering those people who want to return to Iraq," Ahmed al-Sahaf told Rudaw.
He called on the Iraqis to submit their optional return requests, adding that those who have lost their passports will be issued temporary ones.
Thousands of migrants colonists, mostly from the Middle East and Iraq in particular, have tried to cross into European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... nations from Belarus since early last summer. The EU has accused Belarus of orchestrating the influx of migrants colonists to punish it for imposing sanctions against the country.
Sahaf said that nearly 600 Iraqis have requested Polish residency so far, adding that "the Iraqi government continues its diplomatic work with these countries in order to return these people and defend their rights."
The return flights will be free of charge, according to the spokesperson.
When asked what steps his government has taken to prevent the further migration of Iraqis, Sahaf said they have suspended the work of Belarusian honorary embassy in Baghdad.
Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) spokesperson Jotiar Adil told Rudaw on Thursday that out of nearly 17,000 migrants colonists on Belarusian-Polish borders some 8,000 are from the Kurdistan Region.
Undersecretary of the Iraqi Ministry of Migration and Displaced, Karim Nuri, told Rudaw on Thursday that the people of Kurdistan make up 80 percent of all Iraqis on the borders of both countries.
Belarus’ neighbours have fortified their borders against the migrants, leaving thousands desperate in a country they had thought would be an easy gateway to western Europe.
Dominik Musial, consul general of Poland in Erbil, told Rudaw on Wednesday that the immigrants trying to enter Poland “have been equipped and prepared to forcibly cross the border.”
"We're evidently dealing with a group of people who are trying to forcibly, force enter into our country," he said.
Media coverage is portraying the people at the border as "the sole victims of the situation," he added. "I understand they are. They are. But we also need to look at them from a different viewpoint: they are also intruders."
Belarus' Minister of Foreign Affairs Vladimir Makei said on Wednesday that European countries have deployed 15,000 troops “against crying women and children to prevent them from getting into Europe... I cannot comprehend it. This is a violation of all possible norms.”

[AnNahar] Israel has warned Hizbullah ...Party of God, a Leb militia inspired, founded, funded and directed by Iran. Hizbullah refers to itself as The Resistance and purports to defend Leb against Israel, with whom it has started and lost one disastrous war to date, though it did claim victory... against initiating any military action, as it announced that it is willing to offer "concessions" in the negotiations over offshore gas and oil resources.
"We don’t fear Hizbullah’s military power and if it decides to attack us, it will pay a hefty price along with Lebanon Hezbollahstan ...Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects. ... ," al-Arabiya’s al-Hadath TV quoted a senior Israeli security source as saying.
"We’re willing to offer concessions over the gas agreement with Lebanon, but that won’t be at the expense of our security," the source added.

They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... (ISIS) detained a smuggler affiliated to the group during operations conducted late Wednesday, according to the coalition.
"Syrian Democratic Forces and @Coalition conducted operations last night in North East Syria resulting in the detention of a ISIS smuggler. This is part of the continued efforts of the SDF to deter ISIS reconstitution and deny them safe haven," said the coalition’s Special Operations Joint Task Force-Levant in a tweet on Thursday, using the Arabic acronym for ISIS.
The increased military operations of Kurdish forces in northeast Syria (Rojava) against ISIS signal a surge in the group’s activities in the region.
The SDF said on Monday that they had "foiled a major ISIS operation aimed at breaking 5,000 detainees out of prison in Hasakah," adding that ISIS also located a boom-mobile in Deir ez-Zor but it was destroyed by the coalition forces Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... Several other anti-ISIS operations have taken place in SDF-controlled areas. The force, in coordination with the coalition, has confronted the bully boys.
An SDF commander and member were killed this week in Deir ez-Zor during festivities with ISIS, reported North Press Agency.
According to the latest Pentagon report on the fight against ISIS, the activities of the group "significantly" decreased from July to September 202. Citing the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), it said "there were signs that the group is ’poised to increase activity in the coming quarter after a period of recuperation and recovery.’"
"The DIA said that ISIS moved some of its fighters during the quarter from the Syrian desert back into Iraq and northeastern Syria, which ISIS perceives to be important operating environments," added the report.
The SDF is the main ally of the US-led coalition in the fight against ISIS on the ground in Syria.
Mazloum Abdi, general commander of the SDF, told al-Monitor this week that ISIS is active in the whole of Syria, adding that the economic crisis in the country has impacted their struggle against the group.
"Its ability to regain ground is increasingly linked to economic conditions in Syria. There are way too many unemployed people. There is widespread poverty. All such factors diminish the authority of our administration. DAESH takes advantage of this," he said.
Syria has suffered from an economic crisis since the beginning of the 2011 uprising. US sanctions against the regime have affected the whole country. "Without US sanctions, Syria would be Eden on Earth"

Amir Ali Hajizadeh, commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ (IRGC) Aerospace Force, warned on Thursday that if Israel starts a conflict, Iran ...They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... will "destroy" it, according to Iranian media.
"The Zionist regime officials know that they can be the initiators, but the end is with us," said the commander. "The end of this work is the destruction of the Zionist regime, and if they give us an excuse... their destruction will certainly be advanced historically."
Hajizadeh said that Israel is the only country in the world that talks about its own survival and continued existence.
"A regime that speaks about its existence is doomed to destruction, and such a regime cannot talk about the destruction of other countries, and the threats it issues are mostly for domestic consumption," he said.
The IRGC Aerospace Force commander called Iran’s security "exemplary," saying he did not need to talk about the country’s capabilities "because the enemy is talking enough about Iran’s missile and defense capabilities."

"The enemy is evolving in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon," Horowitz said at the UVID 2021 conference. "We must know how to distinguish between a friend and an enemy and deal with enemy capabilities."
The chief artillery officer added that unmanned vehicles will join combat alongside manned forces in a variety of operations, including attacks, evacuations, security patrols, maneuvering in enemy territory and helping expose the enemy and allowing soldiers to see and hear in all environments.
Horowitz added that he sees unmanned aircraft as "an element in the security and strategy of the State of Israel," and that in addition to the two UAV units already operational in the Artillery Corps, a third unit will be established in the near future.
On Monday, an Iron Dome battery fired a missile at a Hamas drone crossing into the sea from the Gaza Strip, according to the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit.
Israeli media reports indicated that the small drone was unarmed and was being used for surveillance. The drone did not enter Israeli territory.

[AlAhram] The number of terror attacks decreased to 131 during October in the Middle East
...defined on the map at the link as from Pakistan in the east to Turkey in north and Mauritania on the Atlantic coast...
instead of 140 attacks in September 2021, according to a recent report by Egypt’s National Centre for Studies (NCS) on the state of terrorism in the larger Middle East.
The report said that 116 out of the 131 attacks were carried out in countries with political instability in the region, representing 88.5 percent, while 15 attacks, around 11.5 percent, were carried out in stable countries.
All the terrorist attacks in some of the region’s countries — which are suffering from conflicts with gangs — were excluded from the report.
The pattern of most attacks, as usual, varied between armed attacks and explosions. The report monitored 56 armed attacks — 55 of which in countries with political instability and one in a stable country — while 50 explosions occurred in the region — 44 of which in unstable countries and six in stable ones.
The NCS report also referred to an increase in kidnappings and killings by terrorist organizations, with eight operations recorded in October 2021, comparing to 3 operations throughout the month of September.
The rate of suicide operations, however, remained stable during the last two months at four suicide operations.
The report, the tenth by the NCS, placed Iraq in the September report at the forefront of terrorism-stricken countries, with 54 terrorist acts carried out there. Afghanistan ranked second with 36 attacks and Somalia the third at 17 attacks.
The report also revealed 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.

[AlAhram] Italia has granted citizenship to Afghanistan's first woman chief prosecutor after she fled the Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... takeover of her war-torn country, a minister said on Thursday.
Maria Bashir, 51, was evacuated in September after the United States withdrew its last troops on August 30.
As chief prosecutor in the western province of Herat ...a venerable old Persian-speaking city in western Afghanistan, populated mostly by Tadjiks, which is why it's not as blood-soaked as areas controlled by Pashtuns... since 2009, she had battled corruption, violence against women and child marriage.
The US State Department recognised her with an award in 2011 for showing courage in the face of Taliban threats, and Time magazine listed her among its 100 most influential people the same year.
Justice Minister Marta Cartabia said Italia, through giving her Italian nationality, wanted to show its "support to all the other Afghan women, who continue to fight for their freedom and rights at a high price".
Cartabia had welcomed Bashir when she landed in Italia on September 9.
As it approved the decision late on Wednesday, Italia's cabinet said Bashir had "worked closely with the Italian authorities while they were in (Afghanistan), contributing to reinforcing institutions and, more generally, the rule of law".
In comments relayed by the ANSA news agency, Bashir said she was "honoured" and hoped to be able to continue working for Afghan women, "with the help of our Italian friends".
Bashir lived under Taliban rule in the 90s, which she described in 2010 to the UN Office on Drugs and Crime as "a particularly grim time for women".
"Everybody was scared to go to work and I, too, had to stay at home. So, I started a secret school at home, for the neighbourhood girls," she told the UN body.

This fellow sounds so similar to those in power here, Ali Abdullah Saleh.
[IsraelTimes] Saudi outlet says Quds Force chief in Syria accused of ’major breach of Syrian illusory sovereignty’ after attacking US forces, placing Iranian weapons in unapproved places.
Syria’s leadership has shunned the commander of Iran’s Quds Force in the country after he almost caused an "unwanted regional war" with Israel, according to a report Wednesday.
Mustafa Javad Ghafari
...also spelt Mustafa Javad Ghaffari, but not in our archives either way ...
has also been "excluded" over a series of actions he took that were viewed by dictator Bashir al-Assad as "a major breach of Syrian illusory sovereignty at all levels," according to AlHadath, a Saudi television network operated by Al Arabiya.
The report said that acting "contrary to instructions," Ghafari led "a number of activities against the United States and Israel that almost led to the entry of Syria into an unwanted regional war, including the attack on American targets in Syria on October 20 by Iranian-backed militias."
That drone attack targeted a remote US military base, causing no casualties.
The report also said that amid a series of alleged Israeli raids, reportedly against Iran-linked targets, "Ghafari admitted the presence of Iranian elements and weapons in the areas where the Syrian regime prohibited their deployment."
Citing an unnamed source familiar with the developments in Syria, the report said the move against Ghafari was taken by high-ranking officials in the Assad regime, after "months of disputes."
Among his misdeeds, Ghafari "transgressed Syrian customs and smuggled goods with the aim of creating a ’black market,’ which constitutes a challenge and competition to the Syrian market.
"The Iranian forces in Syria have repeatedly exploited the Syrian natural resources for their personal interests, as well as looting economic resources and evading paying taxes to the Syrian state," it added.
The source said Syria’s move was "part of the negative trend facing the Iranian position in Syria and in the entire region," as well as a "blow" to the vision of Qassem Soleimani — the previous Quds Force chief who was assassinated by the US almost two years ago — of establishing continuous control from Iran ...The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both... to Lebanon Hezbollahstan ...a formerly French, now an Iranian colony situated on the eastern Mediterranean, conveniently adjacent to Israel. ...
[IsraelTimes] PM reportedly acknowledges Biden’s campaign promise and domestic sensitivities, but says his government views reopening of mission to Paleostinians as ’unacceptable’.
Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has reportedly reiterated to visiting Democratic US Congress members that he won’t allow Washington to reopen the US consulate.
US President Joe The Big Guy Biden ...46th president of the U.S. Sleazy Dem machine politician, paterfamilias of the Biden Crime Family, the guy who bungled Afghanistan... ’s administration has said it will reopen the diplomatic mission historically responsible for Paleostinian affairs. The consulate was shuttered by then-US president Donald Trump ...His ancestors didn't own any slaves... in 2019 and its staff was folded into the US embassy — which had been moved from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem a year earlier — in what the Paleostinians viewed as a downgrading of their ties with the US.
The mission was based on Jerusalem’s Agron Street, in West Jerusalem, and had a consular services office in East Jerusalem, which the Paleostinians claim as the capital of their future state.
Israel must accredit the consul general that the US sends to Jerusalem, according to the diplomatic protocol.
Bennett has called the planned move "unacceptable," though he acknowledged the domestic political sensitivities within the Democratic Party and Biden’s election promise to his voters, the Axios news site reported Wednesday, citing an unnamed Israeli official.
"I am not going to... try to score political points over this issue, but the government position is that reopening the consulate is unacceptable," he told the visiting congressional delegation, according to the report.
The Democratic delegation, sponsored by the dovish J Street organization, is led by Rep. Rosa DeLauro and includes representatives Mark Pocan, Barbara Lee, Melania Stansbury and Jamaal Bowman. That delegation also met Foreign Minister Yair Lapid.
Bennett also met Tuesday with a separate, bipartisan US delegation, which also met Defense Minister Benny Gantz and traveled to Ramallah to meet Paleostinian Authority Prime Minister Mohammed Shtayyeh.
"The issue of the consulate came up in each of our meetings," said the head of the delegation, Democratic Senator Chris Coons ...Dem Junior Senator from Delaware since 2010. He won a special election to succeed Ted Kaufman, who had been appointed to the seat when Joe Biden resigned to become Vice President. Previously, Coons was the county executive of New Castle County. Raised in Hockessin, Delaware, Coons was a frat boy at the Amherst College liberal mill. He received graduate degrees from Yale Divinity School and Yale Law School.... , stressing that "it is important for the United States to continue to have an open dialogue with the Paleostinian Authority."
Bennett told news hounds Saturday that "there’s no room for another American consulate in Jerusalem," clearly stating that his government would resist moves by Washington to restore the Paleostinian mission. Bennett is a hawk who opposes Paleostinian statehood.
Foreign Minister Yair Lapid said at the same news conference that Israel would have no objection to the US opening a mission in Ramallah, the PA’s seat of power.
Shtayyeh claimed Wednesday that the United States does not need Israel’s "permission" to reopen its consulate, urging Washington to honor its diplomatic pledges.
However, a lie repeated often enough remains a lie... a senior US State Department official recently acknowledged that Israel’s permission would be required before the United States could reopen the consulate.
[PJMedia] Without bothering to give its hapless readers any reminders about how and why Americans got stuck in Afghanistan in the first place, NBC News reported Monday that "the Pentagon is stepping up efforts to get family members of U.S. troops out of Afghanistan, creating a database of the dozens who are trapped there."
That’s terrific, but why now? Why the long delay in moving on this? And why was priority placed on bringing unvetted and unvettable Afghans into the United States rather than getting the Americans out? As usual with Biden’s handlers, no useful answers are forthcoming.
NBC noted that on Thursday, Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Colin Kahl "issued a memo asking any U.S. military personnel and DOD civilians with immediate family members who need help leaving Afghanistan to email his office." Wonderful, but why did it take him two months since the American military withdrawal to do this?

[PJMedia] New York BLM co-founder Hawk Newsome openly threatened NYC’s incoming mayor, Eric Adams ...retired New York City police captain, member of the New York State Senate, first Black Brooklyn borough president, law and order Dem after a brief fling with the Publicans. The New York Times isn't fond of him, suspecting he may not actually be black... , with "riots" "fire" and "bloodshed" if Adams sticks to his campaign promise to bring back undercover cops in an attempt to stop gun violence in a city racked with crime.
FACT-O-RAMA! Threatening "riots, fire, and bloodshed" is a "terrorist threat" and is illegal, but somehow Newsome wasn’t arrested. So much for the victimization angle.
I’m thinking aloud here ... would a Proud Boy get arrested for making the same threats?
NYC Police Commissioner Dermott Shea dissolved the undercover anti-crime unit in question in 2020, a year when crime surged nationwide, and New York City set a record for violence.
Why doesn’t BLM want undercover cops on the streets, preventing crime, much of which takes place in black neighborhoods? Because they’re Marxists, duh. Unrest in the streets is in the commie take-over playbook.
And YES, they are Marxists. It was on their website for a long time until someone thought to take it down.

[Breitbart] Foreign nationals including a German and two Swedes have been arrested for aiding attempts to enter Poland illegally as the country’s Belarus border crisis continues.
Poland’s Border Guard (Straż Graniczna) announced following a day of violence on the Polish-Belarusian frontier on November 8th that it had issued 85 decisions to expel people from Polish territory, detained 17 mostly Iraqi nations, and arrested six for for aiding illegal immigration, including two Ukrainians, one Uzbek, one Syrian, and a national apiece from fellow EU member-states Germany and Sweden.
The following day another nine people, identified as Lebanese, Iraqi, and Syrian, were detained, with decisions to expel another 48 issued, and three more people detained for aiding illegal immigration, including a Russian, a Lithuanian, and another Swede.
"We will not allow Poland to become a route for smugglers, for organized crime groups, for enemies of our country, for illegal migration," vowed the country’s Minister of the Interior, Mariusz Kamiński, after Monday’s events.
Over 10,000 border guards, coppers, and soldiers including activated territorial reserves have been deployed to the thickly-wooded frontier with Belarus, a former Soviet Socialist Republic outside the European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... . The quasi-Stalinist nation is alleged to be flying in planeloads of migrants colonists directly from the Middle East to the Belarusian capital of Minsk and then pushing them — sometimes at gunpoint — to the borders of EU member-states Poland, Lithuania, and Latvia as part of a destabilising "hybrid attack" on the bloc.
The Polish government alleges that Belarusian forces are directing the migrants colonists at the border, and has shared footage that purports to show them opening fire to intimidate them and control their movements at the frontier on social media. Other remarkable footage released by Poland from the border has shown the force with which attacks on their border from Belarus are now being authored.
Minsk and Brussels are at odds over sanctions placed on Belarus by the EU for, among other things, the Belarusian air force’s effective hijacking of a passenger plane travelling from Greece to Lithuania, so a journalist critical of Belarusian president Alexander Lukashenko could be arrested.
Lukashenko also has particular grievances with some of its neighbours for sheltering Belarusian opposition politicians and dissidents, including a female Olympian who was afraid to return to Belarus from Japan after criticising the government while she was there.

[Just The News] A federal appeals court on Thursday granted former President Trump's request to temporarily stop the release of documents to the Democrat-controlled House committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
Trump's lawyers made the request earlier Thursday ahead of the Friday 6 p.m. for the select committee to receive 46 records, including White House call logs, visitor logs, drafts of speeches and three handwritten memos from Trump's then-chief of staff Mark Meadows, according to CNN.
The ruling temporarily block the National Archives from releasing the records.

[IsraelTimes] Blaze destroyed carved wood doors of Austin’s Congregation Beth Israel, damaged the building’s stained glass windows and sanctuary
A suspect has been arrested related to a fire set at an Austin synagogue, Congregation Beth Israel, on October 31.
Franklin Barrett Sechriest, 18, was arrested Wednesday by arson Sherlocks with the Austin Fire Department. Investigators identified Sechriest using surveillance footage that showed the license plate on the car he allegedly used to get to the synagogue.
The fire, set on Halloween night, caused an estimated $25,000 of damage to the building, according to the Austin Fire Department. According to a donation page on the synagogue’s website, the fire destroyed the synagogue’s carved wooden doors, damaged the building’s stained glass windows and caused smoke damage throughout the sanctuary.
The Austin Fire Department had appealed to the public to help identify the suspect, who they described as a white male. Video showed the man carrying a 5-gallon jerry can container, likely with the liquid accelerant used to set the fire at the entrance of the synagogue.
The fire was the latest in a series of antisemitic incidents in the Austin area. On October 24, members of the Goyim Defense League, a neo-Nazi ...adherents of a philosophy that was seen even at the time as pure evil, which makes them either consciously and purely evil, or attention-seeking ratbags. Pick one, or both.... group, hung banners from an overpass near the local Jewish Community Center, as well as a number of synagogues, proclaiming "Vax the Jews."
Though the banner was removed and the demonstration around it broken up by police, an identical banner was hung from the same intersection just two days later. At the time, leaders of the Shalom Austin Jewish community center warned community members that the group might stage further demonstrations in the area in the coming days.
In a statement, Rabbi Steve Folberg, the senior rabbi at Congregation Beth Israel, thanked the Sherlocks for their work on the case and noted a recent increase in antisemitic incidents in Texas.
"It gives us some sense of relief to learn of this arrest, but we are staying vigilant. Across Central Texas and beyond, we are seeing a spike in attacks against Jews," Folberg said.
Three convicted felons were identified by U.S. Border Patrol as part of 67 migrants being smuggled through Texas on Tuesday
Border agents pulled over a truck driven by a U.S. citizen on Highway 118 in the city of Alpine and found the group hiding behind a makeshift wall in the cargo
During a subsequent background check, three were identified as felons, with one of them revealed to be a convicted rapist
Agents identified a 17-year-old migrant as an unaccompanied child
The driver is facing charges for transporting undocumented migrants and transporting a convicted felon
Actually there are a lot of Former Military and righteous citizens willing to Volunteer their services, be read on to the the RIOT ACT and used as UNARMED backup support personnel.
I personally like to see a modified version of the 1714 UK Riot Act enacted in the USA.
Something that would allow police officers at the RIOT scene to declare physically aggressive mobs to be unlawfully assembled and a threat to public safety.
Allowing the use of force to legally be disperse the Rioting Mob, using any non-lethal short time debilitating means necessary. All without civil or criminal repercussions.

[Complex] A 47-year-old Dutch man has suffered from a rotting penis after a cobra bit his genitals while he sat on the toilet during a safari trip in South Africa.
The New York Post reports, via Urology Case Reports (which contains extremely graphic photos of genitalia), the man suffered from scrotal necrosis after he was bit by the cobra. Urology Case Reports said that this could be the first-ever case of "snouted cobra envenomation of the genitals." It took three hours before he could be flown to the nearest hospital approximately 220 miles away.
"His penis and scrotum were noted to be swollen, deep purple in color, and painful on hospital admission. Scrotal necrosis was diagnosed, and he received multiple doses of a non-specific snake venom antiserum and broad-spectrum antibiotics," reads the medical report. "The scrotal necrosis was reported to involve the entire fascia (skin to internal spermatic) and was excised with extensive margins. Primary closure was performed, leaving a drain in situ. ... The defect in the penile shaft was treated by superficial debridement and a vacuum assisted closure pump. After 9 days, the patient was repatriated to the Netherlands."
The man has since made a full recovery, and a plastic surgeon performed a "penile shaft debridement, with extensive resection of dead tissue extending into the corpus spongiosum to the fold of the preputium." The comments from the authors of the report added, "Always flush the toilet before sitting down in countries notorious for their snake population." "Making it a booster shot?”

[SHAFAQ] The "liquidation attempt" against outgoing Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi in the Green Zone a week ago did not receive the same political and media attention as the "crime" announced at dawn Sunday, which shook the Iraqi political scene and represented a rare moment of transformation to both the internal and external regional intersections.The scoop of the attempted liquidation by three drones will fade in a few days, not only because of how it was carried out but perhaps more importantly, because of its consequences and the questions it raised, starting with the "security breach" of targeting the head of The Iraqi authority in his residence inside the heavily fortified Green Zone, the timing of his presence in that exact place, through to the internal and regional political significance of the failed liquidation attempt.
UNDERMINING THE STATE'S PRESTIGE
Some experts believe that the drone attack on al-Kadhimi's residence is an attempt to undermine the prestige of the state, as well as a warning message from the perpetrators that they are above the constitution and the regime. Therefore they are able to impose their political will.

[JPost - Juice Power] Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) unveiled a family of new electronic warfare (EW) systems on Thursday which can combat a range of threats, including UAVs, ships, missiles and radar systems.
The Scorpius family of systems scans the entire surrounding area for targets and deploys narrowly focused beams to interfere with multiple threats across the electromagnetic spectrum. The system effectively disrupts the operation of electromagnetic systems, including radar, electronic sensors, navigation and data communications.
Scorpius has unprecedented receiver sensitivity and transmission power, allowing it to detect and address multiple threats of different kinds simultaneously from much farther distances than it was able to do in the past.
The Scorpius family includes five systems: the Scorpius G (ground), N (naval), SP (air - self-protection), SJ (air - standoff jammer) and the Scorpius T (training).
The Scorpius G is a mobile, ground-based EW system used to detect and disrupt ground and airborne threats. The system can be quickly deployed by vehicle and is a "soft-kill" air defense system that creates an electronic dome of protection above a wide area.

[IsraelTimes] IDF troops arrest Paleostinian suspect, seize 8 shotguns, 3 Kalashnikov assault rifles, 2 pistols and a M-16 carbine
Israeli security forces thwarted a gun-running attempt along the Israeli-Jordanian border, seizing some 15 weapons and making one arrest in the process, the military said Thursday.
Overnight, Israeli soldiers operating surveillance cameras along the border spotted suspects "who tried to smuggle weapons from Jordanian territory into Israeli territory," the Israel Defense Forces said in a statement.
IDF soldiers, Israel Police officers and border guards were sent to the scene and took one of the suspects into custody, along with the weaponry, the statement said.
The IDF said troops seized eight shotguns, three Kalashnikov assault rifles, two pistols and an M-16 carbine.
The suspect and the guns were handed over to Israel Police for further investigation, the IDF said, noting that the suspect was Paleostinian.
In June, a soldier was moderately maimed by friendly fire while preventing a gun smuggling attempt on the Jordanian border, during which the military said troops seized 21 guns along with ammunition. Troops also arrested three smugglers.
Last month police thwarted an operation to smuggle drugs and weapons from Lebanon Hezbollahstan ...The land area formerly occupied by the state of Lebanon, before that Phoenicia... , potentially on behalf of the Hezbollah terrorist organization. Hezbollah has long maintained control over the area adjacent to the border with Israel and is unlikely to be unaware of smuggling operations. The terror group is known to fund its activities through drug sales around the world, including producing large amounts of hashish in eastern Lebanon.

[PJ Media] The FBI has been ordered by a federal judge to stop plundering information from James O’Keefe’s phone following a raid on his home and other properties connected with Project Veritas last weekend.
The raid was a chilling and frightening overreach by law enforcement of protected journalistic work product. O’Keefe has said that his phone offers a window into what other projects he and his staff are working on — projects the Biden Administration may not want him to cover.
The FBI raided O’Keefe’s apartment about 6 a.m. on Saturday with a phalanx of agents taking his electronics and other information, which they claimed would help discover how the journalist came into possession of President Biden’s daughter’s diary.
They claim the diary was stolen. O’Keefe denies that characterization.
The president’s daughter, Ashley Biden’s, diary reportedly contains down, dirty, and disgusting secrets about the Biden family.
Judge Analisa Torres ordered the FBI to stop exploiting information contained in O’Keefe’s phone and to verify that they’d done so by Friday.
O’Keefe and Project Veritas have been in negotiations with the Justice Department about the diary and its provenance since last year.
Unless O’Keefe stole that diary, there’s doesn’t appear to be anything different about O’Keefe coming into possession of the document than what happens every day at the New York Times or Washington Post with their leaked documents.
Prior restraint doesn’t even begin to cover how intrusive and frightening this intentional intimidation by law enforcement is on a journalistic enterprise.
The raid is reminiscent of the one conducted by former California Attorney General Kamala Harris into the work product of David Daleiden, who produced a series of explosive videos showing Planned Parenthood buying and selling aborted baby parts.
The way it looks now, this judge’s ruling is a win for journalism, but journalists who don’t like O’Keefe may not see it that way.

[JPost] Israel, UAE, Bahrain and the US Navy are holding a multilateral maritime drill in the Red Sea.
In a message to Iran, Israel is taking part in a multilateral maritime security drill in the Red Sea along with the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and US Naval Forces Central Command’s (NAVCENT) in the Red Sea.
The five-day drill includes at-sea training aboard amphibious transport dock ship USS Portland ...a formerly lovely city in Oregon, governed by an unholy alliance of communists, anarchists, and incompetents. In 2017 the city was named as the fifth most business-friendly in the nation. It took only three years for the city to degenerate to the point where it became a national embarrassment, with antifa and Black Lives Matter bullying taxpayers and occasionally shooting one as an example to the others... focused on visit, board, search and seizure tactics.
"The training will enhance interoperability between participating forces’ maritime interdiction teams," read a statement by NAVCENT.
While the Israeli Air Force had previously taken part in international drills with the UAE, this drill marks the first time that Israel publicly trains with the UAE and Bahrain. It comes as a result of the transfer of the responsibility for Israel from the US Europa ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... Command (EUCOM) to the US Central Command (CENTCOM).
It is believed that the move will not only simplify the cooperation with American troops in the region, but can also create the potential for a regional coalition with Arab countries that have normalized ties with Israel against shared threats posed by Iran.
The 5th Fleet has sometimes clashed with Iranian vessels in the Persian Gulf, and as tensions remain high, Israel’s addition and subsequent drills can be seen as a message to Tehran.
"The Iranians are independent at sea, and must be kept away from the Red Sea so as not to infringe on Israel’s freedom of navigation or to carry out maritime terrorism," said a senior Israeli Navy officer.
Iran, he said, is attempting to entrench itself not only on land in the region but also at sea, where it has used drones and other platforms to carry out attacks.

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Putin's nuclear planes hold fresh bombing drills over Belarus and EU considers Trump-style border wall in major U-turn
It is believed over 100,000 Flint residents were affected by the water poisoning
Of those, it is thought as many as 20,000 children were exposed to the water
Children are particularly susceptible to the dangerous affects of lead poisoning
The crisis prompted several lawsuits and neglect charges to be brought against Michigan Governor Rick Snyder and other officials
The water poisoning came after the disastrous 2014 decision by Michigan's then-governor, Republican Rick Snyder, to switch the city's water source from Lake Huron to Flint River, with the city failing to swiftly acknowledge the problem.
Most of the money - $600 million - is coming from the state of Michigan, which was accused of repeatedly overlooking the risks of using the Flint River without properly treating the water.
I seem to recall that the decision was made by the Democratic Flint mayor or the Democratic county executive — someone like that — without consulting with or informing the Republican governor. See here, here, and here.

I do have the advantage of nearly twenty years of articles with discussions stored in the Rantburg archives, Bobby... once I figured out the right key words. I’m proud to have worked my way up to junior analyst-in-training thanks to all the examples here.

/\ The intelligence community pays people big bucks to do the exactly same thing you have been doing. Their only advantage is they have access to both Open Source and classified reporting, as well as
sophisticated Information Systems search tools. The methodology is exactly the same.

US Federal judge approves $626 million payout to Flint residents
...Actually, more likely $438,200,000 maximum after the lawyers get their cut, and possibly less. Figure actually about 125K people affected, so that reduces the best case number to about $3500/person, and I wouldn't bet the house payments on that.
We were on the 'winning' end of a major lawsuit against a state utility company here in SC a couple years ago where the newspapers were predicting at least $2500/household. Everybody GOT $150 off their electric bills, spread out over three months.

IIRC the city did that to redirect money to pensions payments for a system they could not sustain.
New documentary reveals explosive claims about four Army KIAs in Niger
Army Special Ops soldiers were killed in October 4, 2017 ISIS ambush near Tongo Tongo
Killed were four members of Operation Detachment Alpha Squad 3212: Sergeant La David Johnson, Staff Sergeant Jeremiah Johnson, Staff Sergeant Bryan Black, and Staff Sergeant Dustin Wright
Military brass claimed they went 'rogue' in attempt to capture ISIS leader
But documents suggest they were following orders in a foolish mission
Film claims high-ranking officers tried to cover up orders to protect themselves
ABC News documentary, 3212 Un-Redacted, will be released Thursday on Hulu
The ambush occurred one day after US soldiers and Nigerien forces attempted to locate and capture or kill Doundou Chefou, an ISIS subcommander in the region.
Ibrahim Doundou Chefou, a Sahel Fulani herdsman who got his start fighting against Tuareg cattle raiders from the Sahara, then eventually was promoted to #3 in the Islamic State in the Greater Sahara. The attack was ordered by ISIS-GS #1 Adnan Abu Walid al-Sahrawi (also spelt Adnan Abou Walid al Sahraoui, nom de guerre Lehbib Ould), whom the French rendered toes up in September.
After two failed attempts to locate the insurgent, the convoy was returning to base when partner Nigeriens insisted on stopping in Tongo Tongo to eat and meet with village leaders. The meetings dragged out, leading the US soldiers to suspect that they were being stalled and delayed.
After leaving Tongo Tongo, the unarmored convoy fell into a trap and the Nigerien supporting forces melted away.
The trap: Twelve Green Berets and 30 Nigerian soldiers were reportedly attacked by 50-100 ISIS gunnies —depending who you believe — with small arms and rocket-propelled grenades.
In a chaotic confrontation, outnumbered three to one and without air support, the US forces lost four soldiers.
In a press conference discussing the findings of an AFRICOM investigation, General Thomas D. Waldhauser, then head of US Africa Command, claimed that Squad 3212 lied about its stated mission and never disclosed it was seeking Chenfou. But, according to the documentary, even a redacted AFRICOM report contained information contradicting that version of events.
The details of secret missions ought to be kept secret in the immediate aftermath and perhaps beyond, especially if higher ups want to try again. But surely there are ways to do that without unfairly blaming the innocent.
According to the report, 3212 was headed back to base when the unit received orders to head northwest toward the border of Mali, where officials had detected a cell-phone signal that suggested Chenfou was in the area. ODA 3212 Captain Mike Perozeni is on record vigorously objecting to the new objective, requiring his team to forge off into the desert at night.
He and the Master Sergeant were among the six disciplined for insufficiently training their team for the mission. Higher ups were not.
Nonetheless, his commanding officer Lieutenant Colonel David Painter demanded ODA 3212 adhere to these new directives.
Perozeni's protest over the order to pursue Chenfou flies in the face of the claim that the team was on a rogue mission to capture the insurgent -- a discrepancy that has never been explained.
The documentary also portrays interviews with family members of the fallen soldiers, who say that the Pentagon's falsehoods and inconsistencies about the incident were present from the beginning. While some of these discrepancies can be chalked up to early confusion in the fog of combat, the documentary makes the case that military leaders intentionally obfuscated facts in order to protect Painter and his boss, Colonel Brad Moses.
CYA is the technical term...
The film proposes that Squad 3212 was sent, ill-equipped and without proper support, on a foolish, dangerous mission, and then was set up to take the blame in order to protect military brass.
The attack raised questions about the US military's role in Niger, where about 800 US military personnel are stationed to train local forces and operate drones.
Across Africa, the US military maintains a network of 29 bases, according to a declassified map from 2019. Some two-thirds of the approximately 6,000 U.S. troops in Africa are stationed at Camp Lemonnier in Djibouti City.

Loyalty up follows loyalty down. The command here had totally offed up and pitched into the trash any slightest semblance of loyalty down.
So there will be no loyalty up, without which you cannot operate effectively.
At my first duty station after OCS, my company commander said of our brigade commander--Maertens--that he was on your side. Point is, that's what people want to know. With this bunch....they know.

Yup. You'll notice this pattern - whenever elites fuck up, it is always someone else's fault. Some low or middle ranking stiff is always to blame. They didn't follow the plan, they ignored their training, etc. Not surprised in the least.

#2 Poland could be next. This will militarize the EU.
Next for ... what, invasion by the Russians? Huh?
They're being invaded now by Muslims, not other Christian Slavs. The Polish government and most Poles view the EU as the main threat to Polish liberties and independence, not Russia.

Europe may be better off in Russian hands. At least they know what to do with the muslim problem.

I am more afraid of Congress's Magic Checkbook than I am of the Russians.
I'd love to see Putin attempt to push all the way to the Atlantic. My impression is that readiness levels in Europe are a joke relative to Cold War standards. I have a feeling that it would put to rest, once and for all, our pledge to initiate a nuclear Masada on behalf of our allies in response to a conventional invasion.

Hey, I've got an idea! Let's invade Russia from NATO territory in the Baltics. It's not far to Moscow, and we need only kick in the door and the whole rotten structure will collapse. Then this problem will be over, permanently. Never again will there be a dagger pointed at the heart of Europe.

Yes, we will bring winter coats this time.
Russia would fall apart. That would be fine if China fell apart at the same time, but that's not in the cards, for now. How'd you like to see Russia east of the Urals in Chinese hands? How about the former Russian stans?
