[Reuters] LONDON/JOHANNESBURG - Crime gangs have stolen dozens of truckloads of copper owned by miners and traders including Glencore, Trafigura and Traxys this year as they were heading to ports in southern Africa, three sources with direct knowledge of the matter said.

[Post Millennial] Newly revealed tweets from Capitol Police officer Harry Dunn who testified before Congress on Tuesday during the Jan. 6 commission hearing shows that he was an ardent supporter of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) riots last year, said the burning of Kenosha was an "appropriate response."
Fox News host Tucker Carlson had previously predicted that the committee would have Dunn testify and called out the officer's radical activism. "Dunn will pretend to speak for the country's law enforcement community, but it turns out Dunn has very little in common with your average person. Dunn is an angry, left wing political activist whose social media feeds are full of praise, not coincidentally for Nancy Pelosi."
During Tuesday's Jan. 6 commission hearing, officer Dunn falsely claimed that Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick died as a result from injuries sustained on Jan. 6, which has been debunked by the Washington DC Chief Medical Examiner. The medical examiner found that officer Sicknick died of natural causes. He doesn't dispute the M.E.'s report, just is sure the riot contributed to Sicknick's death. Somehow.

...he was an ardent supporter of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) riots last year, said the burning of Kenosha was an "appropriate response."
Excellent lead witness. Let's go with Harry Dunn. Please make sure he's solid with the talking points.
BZZZT Mistrial! Get out!
Every witness looks Ugandan!
What's the world coming to,
when our voter cannot abandon
all politeness, and trash our
edifices an' all like a Wakandan?
[The Hill] The House select committee’s first hearing Tuesday to investigate the Jan. 6 insurrection at the United States Capitol was as personal as it was probing.
Sober verbal accounts from four police officers who came under physical and psychological attack that day were combined with raw video footage of rioters shouting epithets and using physical force against law enforcement.
The panel hearing the testimony was unusually united — especially for present-day Washington. It included seven Democrats and two Republicans all handpicked by Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).
All were critical of former President Trump, who was impeached for inciting a mob to attack the Capitol. No defenders of Trump were present after Pelosi rejected two of House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s (R-Calif.) choices.
Here are five takeaways from the day.
DEMOCRATS PICKED THEIR WITNESSES CAREFULLY
Each of the four officers selected to testify before the committee had previously shared gripping accounts of their experiences with various news outlets.
The panel likely knew what it was getting on Tuesday, and what a nation watching on cable television received was dramatic, stark and personal.
"On Jan. 6, for the first time, I was more afraid working at the Capitol than during my entire Army deployment to Iraq," said Aquilino Gonell, a Capitol Police sergeant and Army veteran.
[Fox News] The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol is holding its first hearing Tuesday, kicking off what is likely to be a politically charged and contentious several months focusing on the violent day. Won't such public testimony taint ongoing criminal investigations?
The Tuesday hearing focuses on "The Law Enforcement Experience on January 6th." The four witnesses at the hearing are Private First Class Harry Dunn and Sergeant Aquilino Gonell of the U.S. Capitol Police, and Officers Michael Fanone and Daniel Hodges of the Metropolitan Police Department. They provided detailed and emotional testimony about the attack on the Capitol.
"To be honest, I did not recognize my fellow citizens who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6 or the United States they claimed to represent," Gonell, an immigrant and Army veteran, said. "The rioters called me traitor, a disgrace, and shouted that I, I, an Army veteran and police officer, should be executed." Instead, an Air Force veteran was executed.
"I heard specific threats from un-named, un-arrested, un-indited, co-conspirators to the lives of Speaker Nancy Pelosi and also Vice President Mike Pence," Gonell added, saying that he officers "fought hand to hand, inch by inch, to prevent an invasion of the Capitol by a mob intent on subverting our democratic process." Antifa loaners from Portland?
Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., who is a vocal critic of Trump, followed Thompson with comments lamenting that a bill for a special commission modeled on the 9/11 Commission failed in the Senate. But, she said, the committee must investigate the events of Jan. 6 anyway.
"We must know what happened here at the Capitol," she said. "We must also know what happened every minute of that day in the White House. Every phone call. Every conversation. Every meeting leading up to during and after the attack." That'd be interesting, if unlikely. Lots of horrifying testimony follows.

Lots of testimony from U.S. Capitol Police personnel. Apparently nothing from the FBI. Very curious.

Yes, testimony loaded with 'made for teevee' video and emotion. A bit light on fore knowledge, causation, and facts.
And there I was in my freshly pressed uniform and they called me a 'worthless Mick pig.' You can easily understand my frustration and desire to shoot every last one of them.
[American Thinker] American cities are reeling from increased crime ranging from burglary and arson to murder. Americans, rightly, are concerned -- except for Democrat officials. San Francisco, a bastion of progressive stupidity, is among the hardest hit cities -- yet the San Francisco lunatics who run the city claim anyone concerned with rising crime is a white supremacist. This is common from among the Democrat intelligentsia and leadership.
To understand why Democrats don’t care about crime, we must turn to two prophets of the new anti-American ideology. Antonio Gramsci and Michel Foucault are essential to understand to enter the deluded mind of the modern progressive and why they are happy to let American cities burn rather than confront crime and stop the desecration of America’s once iconic cities.
Antonio Gramsci authored his famous treatise while imprisoned in Italy under Mussolini’s government. Gramsci’s Prison Notebooks offered an explanation for why the proletariat revolution failed in the West and laid out a new roadmap for revolutionary success in the future. According to Gramsci, the revolution failed by the revolutionaries didn’t have cultural-institutional power.
Gramsci’s thesis is called "cultural hegemony." The idea, in a nutshell, is that cultural values and consciousness emanate and are reinforced by societal institutions. Business, media, religion, courts of law -- all institutions controlled by the patriotic bourgeoisie prevent the underclass and exploited people from ever learning of their oppression. The task, then, of the radical is to seize control of the institutions in order to propagate the revolutionary ideology. This reached fruition beginning in the late 1960s with student radicals influenced by Gramsci eventually growing up and taking positions throughout American institutions.

Finding that the working class didn't care for communism was a huge blow, one for which they never forgave us.
Instead of just admitting they were wrong and trying something else, they went on a multi-generation project to destroy our lives and force communism on us against our will.

Dead on, Angstrom. No matter the details it works out for their agenda. On the one hand it keeps the population preoccupied with their own security. On the other it destroys the high trust society we have enjoyed in America.

I thought the intentionally high crime rates were about gun control. They use the issue of murder rates And violent crime to blame guns, then get the guns taken away or stricter gun laws.
[NPR] Early one morning in January, Suzanne Ianni peered through her window to discover two black SUVs and a police cruiser parked in front of her house. All she could think was: "Aw, they're here."
While Ianni had been expecting federal agents for days, she wasn't fully prepared for their arrival or for the moment when they said, "You're under arrest." "And I just sat down in a chair, I was trying to catch my breath," she told NPR. "And they're like, OK just relax," she said. "It's only a misdemeanor."
Ianni, a 59-year-old mother of three, is one of the more than 570 people charged as being part of the mob that overran the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. She stands accused of disorderly conduct and being inside a federal building illegally.
The morning the FBI came, she recalls her husband handing her a coat and some shoes and then when the agents told him "no laces," Ianni couldn't help but laugh. "I'm like OK, I'm not going to hang myself over trespassing, you know."

[Washington Examiner] The Biden administration is announcing a new, proposed Buy American rule, which federal officials say marks "the most robust changes to implementation of the Buy American Act in almost 70 years."
Signed in 1933, the Buy American Act requires the federal government to only purchase goods determined to be at least 55% manufactured in the United States. The new proposed rule, which the administration will seek comment on for the next two months before publishing an official rule change, would immediately increase the domestic component threshold to 60% and gradually increase the threshold to 75% over the next decade.
The proposed rule marks "just the first set of proposed reforms to procurement policy under the Biden-Harris administration to ensure taxpayer dollars help American businesses compete in strategic industries and help American workers thrive," according to administration officials.

[GatewayPundit] The Biden DOJ ruled that federal law doesn’t prohibit public agencies, private business from requiring vaccines for employees
It was only a few months ago that Kamala Harris said she would NEVER take the Trump endorsed vaccine.
The Epoch Times reported:
The Department of Justice concluded in an opinion that federal law doesn’t prohibit public agencies and private businesses from requiring COVID-19 vaccines under the Food and Drug Administration’s emergency use authorization.
On July 26, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, California, and New York City said they would require some of their government workers to get the COVID-19 shot or be tested weekly. Veterans Affairs, with the move, became the first federal agency to mandate the vaccine.
The Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel on July 26 wrote (pdf) that because access to COVID-19 vaccines is more commonplace, “numerous educational institutions, employers, and other entities across the United States” have said they will require some individuals to be vaccinated against the virus as a condition of employment, participation, benefit, service, or relationship.
“For instance,” it wrote, “certain schools will require vaccination in order for students to attend class in person, and certain employers will require vaccination as a condition of employment.”
The opinion, which noted that some have questioned the legality of such mandates, concluded that federal law concerning the FDA’s emergency use authorizations (EUA) on COVID-19 vaccines made by Moderna, Pfizer, and Johnson & Johnson doesn’t “prohibit public or private entities from imposing vaccine requirements, even when the only vaccines available are those authorized under EUAs.”

President Obama nominated her to return to the Office of Legal Counsel as assistant attorney general but the Senate neglected to act on the nomination.
She taught Constitutional Law I and II, and Seminars in the Separation of Powers and Sexuality, Reproduction and the Constitution, according to the Maurer School of Law. Indiana U. website. Johnsen is also the wife of Mayor John Hamilton of Bloomington.
[Washington Examiner] A former intelligence analyst and Afghanistan war veteran was sentenced to nearly four years in prison after he pleaded guilty to one count of violating the Espionage Act by leaking classified information on the U.S. drone strike program to the media.
Daniel Hale, 33, was arrested in May 2019 for leaking extensively to an unnamed reporter, with charging documents easily identifying him as Jeremy Scahill of the Intercept, an outspoken critic of U.S. military activities overseas. Hale pleaded guilty in March.
U.S. District Judge Liam O'Grady sentenced Hale to 45 months in prison on Tuesday. The judge determined that Hale's actions went past his "courageous and principled" stance on drones, according to the Washington Post.
"You are not being prosecuted for speaking out about the drone program killing innocent people," the judge said. "You could have been a whistleblower ... without taking any of these documents."

Under the Espionage Act by leaking and illegally obtaining classified information regarding Nation Security is a violation.
Additional Facts:
* He was already taking classified information home only a few weeks into a job at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency back in 2014.
* The information collected was not in his assigned area or related to his job. Spy charges could have been applied.
* He was already hooking up with the media and various Anti-USA / Anti-War activists seeking to stop all use of drones.
* While being Anti-War as early as 2012, he still took a job as a defense contractor in 2014 which supported the Sandlands and Affie War efforts.
* In 2014 he printed out classified documents and shared several with Jeremy Scahill, a reporter for the Intercept. Note: Jeremy Scahill is known for having written a number of Anti-War effort articles. Like the Hit piece Blackwater (X-SFOD-D) operators and their missions.
* Hale's house was search in 2014 but the was not charged until 2019????
* No reporter, journalist or media person/group has been charged for receiving and publishing Hales National Security Classified information.
Note: However, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange remains the DOJ's only media person charged for leaking / publishing on or about 3-16-2016, 30,000+/- emails & email attachments to and from Hillary Clinton's private illegal email server while Obama's Secretary of State.

[Sultan Knish] - Getting the United States out of Afghanistan is relatively easy compared to getting Afghanistan out of America. The latest stage of the withdrawal is accompanied by frantic calls to "save Afghan interpreters" coming from the same media that also wants us out of Afghanistan.
But what’s the use of leaving Afghanistan if we’re going to bring it with us to America?
The "interpreter" scam is one of the longest running immigration hoaxes on record.
Before the withdrawal, there were some 2,500 American soldiers in Afghanistan. After the withdrawal, there are around 600 soldiers left behind.
And there are 20,000 Afghan "interpreters" applying for SIVs or Special Immigrant Visas.
How can there be 20,000 interpreters for 2,500 soldiers?
It’s not as if we haven’t been handing out SIV visas like candy already.

How many Kurds/Yazidis/Christians were airlifted out after the ISIS war? But it's important to get all of Ghani's boys out because a) They know much about what was really interpreted out there and you can't ensure they will be killed before talking to the media. And b) It's an escape plan already paid for, and the ⭔ officials just kept their end of the bargain.

I missed this detail from Rochelle Walensky’s press conference earlier but it helps explain why the CDC is suddenly nervous about vaccinated people going around unmasked.
It’s getting attention online this afternoon too, partly because Drudge is highlighting the news and partly because excited vaccine skeptics are misunderstanding what it says, I suspect. When the CDC says that the vaxxed and unvaxxed have the same viral load, they don’t mean they have the same amount throughout their bodies, including their lungs. That would mean the vaccines don’t work, which is why anti-vaxxers have perked up about it. But we already know that they work: The numbers prove that the vaccinated are at far less risk of serious illness than the unvaccinated are. Delta usually can’t get enough traction in a vaccinated person’s body to debilitate them.
What the CDC means is that the vaxxed and unvaxxed have similar amounts of viral particles in their noses and throats, making them equal risks to infect the people around them. That’s a big deal and it helps explain the change in mask guidance. If the vaccinated are as likely to infect an unvaccinated person as another unvaccinated person is then reducing infections requires everyone to mask up, not just those who haven’t had their shots. Since vaccinated don't have symptoms, they - in effect - become asymptomatic carriers (see the Wikipedia article).
It seems, what many of us have openly pondered here for months ago. In that the mRNA Vax do not stop/kill/neutralize the C19-21(A-D). The Vax could just make a person's body immune to it and potential carriers for each 14+/- day infection cycle.
So we could have 1/3+ of the US population as potential Typhoid Mary's walking, shopping, handling food and flying around in the USA.
BTW: I agree with #5.
We just don't want to be forced to take something we don't fully trust and even the experts are not sure of the long range implications & issues yet.

Speaking of scientific credibility... despite a whole lot of recent problems, I was able to find, this weekend, a physical copy of the PDR from 2017 that had dosage information for HCQ. Its recommended emergency dosage for malaria treatment was 1600 mg over the first 48 hours.
I think the scientific study you linked a couple weeks back had the patients taking 2800 mg over the first 48 hours.
As near as I can tell, the study was giving the patients a lethal dose of the drug but not acknowledging it and pretending to prove it doesn't work.
I don't expect you to take my word for it, but I took pictures and video, or alternatively, you could go to a library (if they're open there) and look it up for yourself.

It is susally interesting to read past the posted teaser. To wit -
Some researchers believe that the high viral load in vaccinated people with Delta may include lots of dead viral particles, which might still show up in a test despite having already been neutralized by the immune response provoked by vaccination. The CDC evidently believes differently.

Also - If you’re going to mask, wear a real mask. A piece of fabric from CVS won’t do much to prevent infecting others with a variant that produces a thousand times as many viral particles as the original SARS-CoV-2 did. Wear an N95. They’re widely available — for the moment.
I have a washable Sonovia mask, myself. Better dust it off, I guess.

Dr. Leana Wen — “New data suggests that fully vaccinated individuals are not just contracting COVID, but could be carrying higher levels of virus than previously understood, facilitating spread.”
I cited facts from various respected medical sources and vendors in the case on masks.
eg. When the C-19/21A-D is smaller than the filtering design of the mostly used paper masks. Is it SAFE as stated? HELL NO!
Given any virus can infect via the Eyes. So how is a paper mask helping other than reducing how far an infected person discharge carries?
Why weren't face shields required?
Shouldn't the mandate be, that the infected MUST wear a protective coverings instead?
If masks worked, then why were we told for 11+ months a simple surgical paper mask was enough... suddenly we needed to wear double masks?
Why 6ft Social Distancing, when the CDC's own pre-2019 Flu data shows Viruses travel up to 12 ft via Sneeze or cough?
Despite being told otherwise, we now know the virus could remain in the air for up 1 hour in closed room/office areas. So does Social Distancing work in a ER, doctors office or waiting room?
Why were we told early on it was a BAT and now we all know factually its was the WUHAN Lab $$$$ sponsored by guess who?
Why were we told it lives on any surface 12 to 24 hours? When its a Virus which quickly dies if not in contact with a suitable living BIOLOGIC source.
If it is so bad, then why are we permitted to dispose of possible C-19/21A-D infected masks and tissues in the general garbage or toilet that ends up at the City dump or treatment facilities?
Is the C-19/21A-D real? HELL Yes!
Does it kill Older persons and those with existing Medical issues? HELL Yes!
Does it kill in the numbers reported in the USA? Questionable.
Did it have the 4.3% mortality rate as predicted in 2020 by the experts?
NO! It was less than 2.4+/-% AND ONLY IF you were part 2.6+/-% that got infected. An that mortality rate was BEFORE the VAX was available and issued.
So given all the BS, false or mistaken facts generated by THEMPEOPLE in charge to LOOK like they had a handle on it, or for political reasons. It has left too many feeling played and dis trustful of THEMPEOPLE.
p.s. Proper way to present scientific evidence - or any evidence - is to cite the source. So the reader can check for her/himself and NOT rely on your reputation. Because "I cited facts from various respected medical sources and vendors in the case on masks." has the same validity as "I'm the Galactic Overlord".
That said, believe what you wish - just don't try claiming that it's an objective fact.

Paper Surgical or “Procedure” Masks DO NOT offer the needed level of filtering. "These masks are not as effective at filtering out small particles like viruses and bacteria..."Surgical masks with ear loops only provided 38.1 percent filtration.
1 & 2 Ply Cloth Masks - Reusable cloth masks are not as effective in the prevention of infection as N95 respirators or surgical masks. This is because the pores in woven materials are larger than 0.3 microns and cannot, therefore, filter out all of the droplets containing viruses such as SARS-CoV-2, in which the viral particle size is 0.125 microns.

CDC walks back claim that vaccinated people can’t carry COVID-19 NY POST April

“It’s possible that some people who are fully vaccinated could get COVID-19,” a CDC spokesperson told the New York Times. “The evidence isn’t clear whether they can spread the virus to others. We are continuing to evaluate the evidence.” Dr. Peter Bach, director of the Center for Health Policy and Outcomes at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, said confusion about bulletproof immunity could lead to Americans refusing to wear a mask after getting the jabs.

[BBC] Kidnappers in Nigeria have seized a man who was sent to deliver a ransom payment to secure the release of dozens of kidnapped school children.
The elderly man was sent by the children's parents after they managed to raise 30m naira ($73,000; £53,000) by selling land and other possessions.
But they have been left feeling hopeless following his kidnapping.
The north of the country is in the midst of a wave of school abductions carried out by criminals for profit.
Ransoms are frequently paid, but this is a rare case where the person carrying the cash has been taken.
The kidnappers called up the school's headteacher to say that the money delivered was not the agreed sum.
The 136 students were taken from an Islamic school in Tegina, Niger state, in late May.
Gunmen riding on cycle of violences stormed the town and opened fire indiscriminately killing one person and injuring another.
As people fled, the attackers went to the school and seized the children.
The parents and school administrators negotiated with the criminals and agreed to pay the ransom. They sold part of the school's land as well as other possessions.
Headteacher Malam Abubakar Alhassan told the BBC that six people were sent with the correct amount to meet the kidnappers near the forest where the children were being held.
When they arrived, the button men demanded that one of the group, an elderly man, follow them into the forest so that the cash could be counted.
But they later called to say the money was not sufficient.
"Parents are now resigned to fate. They say they can't raise any more money. They are now relying on God," Mr Alhassan told the BBC.
More than 1,000 students have been kidnapped from schools across northern Nigeria since December last year.

[NYPOST] reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown ...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel... Mayor Lori Lightfoot ...the diminutive and vacuous Heronner da Mare of Chicago. When the corpse count rises she blames the guns, which are banned anyway. A racist to the bone, Lori sez that people with the same skin tone all think alike, not quite getting the implications for a city with a population less than thirty percent black... has reportedly defended her controversial decision to grant interview requests only to minority journalists — calling the number of non-whites covering her "unacceptable."
"I would absolutely do it again. I’m unapologetic about it because it spurred a very important conversation, a conversation that needed to happen, that should have happened a long time ago," Lightfoot told the New York Times
...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... ’ "Sway" host Kara Swisher on Monday of the temporary May declaration.
As she marked her two-year anniversary in office in May, the Democrat — whose city is in the midst of a plague of gun violence and is on track to surpass last year’s total of 48 mass shootings — assailed the "overwhelming whiteness" of the Windy City’s media and announced that she’d grant one-on-one interviews only to minority members, Fox News reported.
"Here is the bottom line for me, to state the obvious, I’m a black woman mayor. I’m the mayor of the third-largest city in the country, obviously I have a platform, and it’s important to me to advocate on things that I believe are important," Lightfoot told Swisher.
"Going back to why I ran, to disrupt the status quo. The media is critically important to our democracy ... the media is in a time of incredible upheaval and disruption but our city hall press corps looks like it’s 1950 or 1970," she added.
[TASS] One Syrian soldier was killed and three more were wounded as Syrian army vehicles were attacked in the north of Syria’s Aleppo governorate by militants operating in Turkey-controlled areas attacked Syrian army vehicles, Vadim Kulit, deputy chief of the Russian Center for Reconciliation of the Opposing Parties in Syria, said on Tuesday.
"In the north of the Aleppo governorate, militants of illegal armed groups operating in Turkey-controlled territories fired a guided anti-tank missile from the vicinity of the settlement of Qasar at a ZIL-131 vehicle of the Syrian army that was moving along the a highway near the city of Tel Rifaat," he said.
According to Kulit, one Syrian soldier was killed and three more were wounded.
On July 20, militants from Turkey-controlled territories opened mortar fire at the settlement of the Nubbol in the Aleppo governorate. One woman was killed in the shelling.
On July 21, positions of Syrian government troops near the settlement of Tel Tamer in the northwest of the al-Hasakah governorate came under shelling, killing one Syrian soldier and wounding one more.
The Russian reconciliation center continues to fulfill assigned tasks after the completion of the military campaign in Syria. The center’s officers regularly travel around the country's liberated areas to assess the humanitarian situation. The main efforts of the Russian military are now focused on assistance to the refugees returning to their homes and evacuation of civilians from de-escalation zones.
[Garowe] The European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... has cut the Kenya Defense Forces [KDF] budget in Somalia by almost half, giving a further indication of the impending exit of the AMISOM troops from the Horn of Africa nation, which is still struggling with the al-Shabaab ...... an Islamic infestation centering on Somalia attempting to metastasize into Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, and similar places, all ofwhich have enough problems without them... menace.
This will pave way for the exit of the KDF troops serving in AMISOM, and subsequent repositioning to the Kenya-Somalia border which stretches along with the Jubaland state and the northeastern part of the country. There are close to 3,500 KDF soldiers in AMISOM.
KDF first joined the fight against al-Shabaab under Operation Linda Nchi in 2011 but a year later, it joined the AMISOM team. Since then, the European Union has been one of the key financiers along with the UN and other stakeholders.
Treasury told Parliament Monday that Kenya received $45 million from African Union ...a union consisting of 53 African states, most run by dictators of one flavor or another. The only all-African state not in the AU is Morocco. Established in 2002, the AU is the successor to the Organisation of African Unity (OAU), which was even less successful... Mission in Somalia (Amisom) in the 12-month period to June 2019 against a target of $85 million. This now means the EU has started the formal withdrawal process.
The cut was linked to the partial withdrawal of Kenyan troops who were deployed to Somalia in 2007 to defend the internationally-backed government against attacks on the Shabaab.
"The amount was received was based on the number of actual troops deployed in Somalia. By July 2018, the number of troops was subsequently reduced," Julius Muia, the Treasury principal secretary (PS) said without disclosing the actual figures.
The EU funds cater for allowances for the Amisom troops and police, international and local civilian staff salaries, operational costs of their offices, among others. The EU has been the single largest contributor.
The international community pays $1,028 (Sh111, 229) for each soldier per month, their respective governments then deduct about $200 (Sh21,640) for administrative costs, leaving them with a take-home of about $800 (Sh86,560).
Al-Shabaab conducts frequent assaults in Kenya, mostly in the region bordering Somalia, to put pressure on the Kenyan government to withdraw its peacekeeping troops from Somalia.
KDF Sectors II and VI of AMISOM in Somalia, which stretches most parts of Jubaland. The KDF team flushed al-Shabaab out of Kismayo ...a port city in the southern Lower Juba province of Somalia, at the extreme southern end of the country (always assuming Somalia can be called a country).

[WashingtonExaminer] Two New Jersey residents who were previously ordered to remove anti-Joe Biden signage from their property will be represented by a local chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, according to court filings from Saturday.
Homeowner Patricia Dilascio was ordered on July 15 by Roselle Park Municipal Court Judge Gary Bundy to remove three of 10 flags displayed on her property within a week or face $250-per-day fines despite some flags being owned by her daughter Andrea Dick. The signage featured profanities and insults such as "F*** Biden," "Joe Biden Sucks," "Socialism Sucks, Biden Blows," and "Don't Blame Me I Voted For Trump," among others... fwiw, obscenity may be regulated but you have to have a lawful procedure to establish the 'when and where and in what manner' of content that is prohibited.
The same sentiments can be expressed without cussing, most assuredly. But what’s sauce for the Left’s Antifa/BLM ought to be sauce for the Right.

May be legal but clearly the property owners have no class nor shame.
Look I don't like biden admin either and the Anti-USA issues surrounding this Socialcrat Junta.
But I am fed up with any open displays of profanity. eg. F**k _____, or Penis and Vagina Photo or graphic art displaying T-shirts, penis mobiles and graphic vehicle art.
Besides the SCOTUS ruled 30+ years ago about community set standards and YES it can be enforced if done so equally and fairly.

[IsraelTimes] The Islamic Republic’s demands, along with progress in its program, make a return to the JCPOA seem much more difficult than when Biden came into office.
In certain circles enlightenment finally dawns.
After months of expectations that a breakthrough in the Vienna talks on Iran’s nuclear program was only a matter of time, the chances of success are now looking increasingly remote.
Earlier this month, Iran’s deputy foreign minister said negotiations on restoring the nuclear deal will not resume until the hardliner Ebrahim Raisi takes office as president on August 5.

As things have been going, why would Iran want or need to go back to the nuke deal.

The Jewish Institute for National Security of America (JINSA), noted in this report, is rather an obscure organization comprised in the main of retired military.

[ToloNews] Two suspects were arrested by security forces on charges of attacking government officials and the Afghan military in various provinces, a statement by the First Vice President’s Office reads.
The statement says both suspects are Taliban ...mindless ferocity in a turban... members.
One of them, Agha Mohammad, confessed that he was in prison for four years up until 2020 during which time he met Qari Faigullah, a Taliban member, who asked him to participate in killing babus government employees, specifically Taj Mohammad, a police officer at Takhar Police Headquarters who was involved in imprisoning the Taliban member, the statement said.
Agha Mohammad also confessed that he planned to travel to Takhar to target the police officer and other babus government employees but was arrested by security forces, the statement added.
Another suspect, Samiullah, confessed that he joined the Taliban one and a half years ago, according to the statement.
The statement said that Samiullah also confessed to being involved in four bombing attacks in Kabul with one targeting a police vehicle in Kabul’s District 16, another targeting a police vehicle in the Karte Naw area in Kabul’s District 8, another targeting an army vehicle in Bagrami district and another targeting a police vehicle in Kabul’s District 8.
The statement added that Samiullah confessed that his cousin, Nooruddin, carried out six explosions targeting babus government employees.

[THEGATEWAYPUNDIT] The Maryland Voter Integrity Group announces today that a recent analysis into voter registration records and voting trends over the past decade shows remarkable anomalies in the most recent Presidential Election.
Maryland joins 35 other states in taking a closer look at in the integrity of election systems throughout, including at the county level. Former Army Captain and self-proclaimed #intelpatriot, Seth Keshel, assisted the recent analysis of Maryland county information.
Recent data provided by the Maryland Secretary of State office shows a number of trends from the past three Presidential elections, taking place in 2012, 2016, and 2020. In each of the four Counties of focus, Anne Arundel, Carroll, Frederick, and Harford, certain trends seem to be clear:
In all four Counties in the 2012 and 2016 elections, the Democratic vote increase remained marginal, ranging between 1% to 2% overall.
In 2020, however, these same metrics showing the Democratic vote increase spiked to between 34-37% in all four of these Counties. This appears to have taken place without any measurable population growth, registration expansion, or vote increase for either party.
These staggering findings highlight the need for a Full Forensic Audit of the 2020 election within these four Maryland Counties, and at the State level.
These incidents of massive inaccuracies in State Election Systems are not limited to Maryland. Investigations are ongoing in Arizona, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Michigan, and the recent Democratic Mayoral Primary in New York City also demonstrated what significant impacts these anomalies exert.

[AlAhram] An attack by Boko Haram ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality... killed five Cameroon ...a long, narrow country that fills the space between Nigeria and Chad on the northeast, CAR to the southeast. Prior to incursions by Boko Haram nothing ever happened there... ian soldiers and a civilian, according to a defence ministry statement on state radio Tuesday.
The attack took place on Monday night in the far north of the central African country near the border with Nigeria, where operations by the Islamist group have been on the rise.
Added after the midnight rollover for future reference, All Africa adds:
"Heavily armed terrorists from the Boko Haram sect attacked the command post sub-sector two of the Multi-National Joint Task Force (MNJTF) of the Lake Chad Basin Commission in Zigue in the Far North Region of Cameroon at 9.30pm on Monday," Cameroon's Ministry of Defence said in a statement.
The statement said, "several assailants were killed and their bodies carted away as the terrorists retreated."
With headquarters in N'Djamena, Chad, the MNJTF is a joint military command of around 10,000 uniform men from Nigeria, Cameroon, Chad, Niger and Benin that has been contributing to restoring a safe and secure environment in the areas of the Lake Chad Basin that are affected by Boko Haram.
The Monday night attack was the second after that of Saturday which occurred in Sagme, North of Zigue. The Cameroon Defence ministry said eight soldiers were killed and 13 others were wounded during the attack which was the first by the group in close a year.
[KOMONEWS] A lunatic man in a yellow dress stole a school bus and drove for miles across multiple counties before abandoning it and hitchhiking across the state, where he drove a front loader into his own home as his wife fled, sheriff's officials say.
Chelan County Sheriff Brian Burnett said there was nothing deputies could do to stop the man under the new police reform laws that recently took effect.
The bizarre drama unfolded over the weekend and started Saturday morning in Steilacoom, when the 39-year-old man was released from Western State Nut House Hospital. "Okay, Napoleon. Yer gettin' mainstreamed. Sign here!"
"You'll need my Imperial Seal to make it official, doc!"
Later that evening he was seen walking along Highway 2 near Leavenworth in a yellow dress.
At around 7:40 p.m., employees of Osprey Rafting say they saw the man get into the company's large yellow school bus and drive away. "Ahah! The Imperial Short Bus! I shall drive to Waterloo!"
Chelan County sheriff's deputies spotted the bus running a red light near Monitor and tried to pull the man over but he refused to stop and kept going. "Youse'll never take me alive, coppers! Hahahaha!"
Deputies discontinued the pursuit because the new police reform laws no longer allow law enforcement to pursue a fleeing vehicle unless there is cause to believe that a serious felony has occurred, Burnett said. "Let 'im go, Car 54! It ain't worth the paperwork!"
Douglas County deputies later spotted the bus heading east on State Route 28 and followed it through the city of Wenatchee, but the suspect refused to pull over and they, too, had to break off the pursuit. "He ain't stoppin', Chief!"
"Okay. See if you can write a few parking tickets. That'll give you somethin' to do until shift change!"
The bus was later found abandoned near Moses Lake. "What? Outta gas? You and the Old Guard have failed me, bus!"
Police lost track of the man for a time as he hitchhiked across the state to Spokane and then to Chewelah in Stevens County. "Need a ride, bub? Say! Nice dress! Are those real sequins?"
The next day, Sunday, officials say the suspect stole a front loader and crashed it into his own house, flipping a vehicle into the structure. "Take that, abode of foulness!"
The suspect's wife had just fled from the home when she learned her estranged husband might be coming. She was uninjured. "Whaddya mean, 'They let him out?' He's bonkers!"
"Now, now, Mrs Bonaparte! We don't use that kinda language about the reality-challenged anymore!"
The suspect was finally taken into custody in Stevens County, still wearing the yellow dress, and booked into jail for investigation of motor vehicle theft, first-degree malicious mischief and attempting to elude police.

[TRENDINGPOLITICS] Over the weekend during a speech with New York State assembly member Rebecca Seawright, Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer hammered Trump supporters, wondering how they could possibly vote for such a “vile man.”
“You probably ask yourself the same question I ask myself: How could 74 million people vote for such a despicable human being as Donald Trump,” Schumer said. “He is a vile man. He is dishonest. He is divisive — That’s what he loves to do, just divide people.”
Schumer continued, “He’s a racist and he always appeals to the dark side of human nature, which he’s very good at, unfortunately. How did they vote for him?”
The comments from Schumer are similar to those made by Hillary Clinton when she called Trump supporters “deplorables.”

The thing I find ridiculous is there is an episode of "The Apprentice" where the contestants are sent to Schumer's New York Offices.
Schumer explains that he and Trump knew each other since they were kids. Schumer's and Trump's father were both in real estate and frequently worked together. Schumer showed the contestants around and made it clear that they were old buddies and best friends.

[BREITBART] Florida State Representative and U.S. congressional candidate Anthony Sabatini (R) demanded the Florida Secretary of State and local Supervisors of Elections "initiate a forensic audit of the 2020 election in Florida’s five largest counties to help ensure voter confidence.""A full forensic audit of the five counties must be done immediately," Sabatini announced in a blurb. "Florida voters’ confidence in our elections is at an all-time low. Disturbing revelations in Arizona, Georgia, and other states make clear that the Secretary of State needs to do more than attempt to secure future elections."
"They must also look back and ensure that laws already on the books were followed in previous elections. This is a non-partisan issue and is a necessary step in ensuring voter confidence in future elections," he explained.
"These elections officials work for us—We the People—and it’s time they start showing some transparency about the 2020 election," Sabatini told Breibart News in reference to the five counties of Broward, Hillsborough, Miami-Dade, Palm Beach, and Orange.
When asked why an audit should be performed in Florida, where Trump and Republicans did well in 2020, Sabatini told Breitbart News that "every single state should have a random audit to figure out if there were discrepancies, just to be sure."
[IsraelTimes] Saeid Mollaei, a former Iranian judoka now representing Mongolia, dedicates his silver medal in the final of the men’s 81-kilogram division to Israel.
“This medal is also dedicated to Israel and I hope the Israelis appreciate this achievement,” he says, according to Israel’s Kan broadcaster.
It was the first Olympic medal for Mollaei, two years after he left his native Iran after revealing that his national team coaches had ordered him to lose in the semifinals of the 2019 world championships in Tokyo to avoid facing Israel’s Sagi Muki in the final. Mollaei subsequently moved to Germany and then acquired Mongolian citizenship.
[ToloNews] Taliban ...Arabic for students... attacks in Nijrab district in the central province of Kapisa were pushed back by security forces and members of the public uprising forces early on Tuesday morning, a police official said.
The attacks happened in Dara-e-Farokh Shah and Dara-e-Kalan areas in Nijrab district, Kapisa police front man Shayiq Shorish said.
The festivities started shortly after midnight and continued until 4 am on Tuesday, he said.
Shorish said that six people, including two civilians and four members of the public uprising forces, were killed in the festivities.
This comes as former Kapisa governor Mehrabuddin Safi on Monday said that weak coordination among public uprising forces led to the fall of many key areas to the Taliban in the province, including Nijrab district.
Safi said that the presence of a large number of Taliban fighters also led to the fall of the Kapisa districts.
Security forces left key parts of the Nijrab district two weeks ago, while the Tagab and Ala Sai districts in the province fell to the group earlier in the month.
Over the past two weeks, festivities have been underway in parts of Nijrab to retake the district, but no progress has been made so far. Hundreds of district residents have been displaced due to the festivities.
The deputy governor of Kapisa, Aziz-ur-Rahman Tawab, was killed in a clash with the Taliban in Nijrab district on July 16. The fall of key parts of the district happened three days after his death.
[ToloNews] The arrest of four journalists in Kandahar by the National Directorate of Security ...the Afghan national intel agency... , NDS, the country’s intelligence agency, has sparked reactions from watchdog organizations who say the four must be released and the reason for their detention should be made clear.

They were arrested by the NDS when they returned from Spin Boldak district on Monday where they went to investigate claims of civilian deaths at the hands of the Taliban ...mindless ferocity in a turban... "Whenever a news hound makes a mistake, the media violations commission should decide and approve that he has made a mistake and then he can be arrested," said Samiullah Ghairatmal, head of the Nai office in Kandahar. Nai is an organization supporting open media in Afghanistan.
The Ministry of Interior Affairs said interrogations of the four journalists are underway.
"There is evidence against the four journalists who have been arrested on charges of supporting enemy propaganda in Kandahar. The security agencies are conducting their assessment based on the law," the Interior Ministry’s front man Mirwais Stanekzai said.

Has Iraq existed as a nation since Biblical times? I don't think so. Woodrow Wilson screwed up its boundaries -- and screwed the Kurds. During WWI Britain took Iraq from Ottoman Turkey and was then granted a League of Nations mandate in 1920. However, even then the boundaries were questionable and Shiite Basra and the south only joined later. The Hashemite monarchy was created by the Brits in 1921 and was granted a form of independence in 1932. Next, a pro-Axis revolt in 1941 cause a British occupation. The monarchy survived but was overthrown by the military in 1958. Sixty-three years later a failed state at its inception remains next to Yemen the Arabs most notorious failed state.

[IsraelTimes] Hassan Abu Zayed and Imad al-Tawil slain during or following altercations with Hamas, the well-beloved offspring of the Moslem Brotherhood, security forces, leading Paleostinian rights groups to demand independent investigations.
The European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... said on Tuesday that it was "appalled" by the deaths of two Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... residents during or immediately following altercations with Hamas security forces, as human rights When they're defined by the state or an NGO they don't mean much... groups call for independent investigations of both deaths.
Hassan Abu Zayed, a 27-year-old resident of Gaza City, was driving on Friday night when he was shot and killed by Hamas security forces, allegedly as he sped through a checkpoint.
According to the Hamas Interior Ministry, security forces spotted a car speeding toward them as they manned the checkpoint in Gaza City’s eastern al-Tuffah neighborhood. The driver ignored calls to stop, Interior Ministry spokesperson Iyad Bozm said.
"Two shots were fired at the vehicle, which did not stop and sought to flee. It later became clear that one of the passengers had been injured. He was taken to a hospital where he passed away from his wounds," al-Bozm said.
But the Independent Commission for Human Rights, who brought in a physician to attend Abu Zayed’s autopsy, said it had found unexplained discrepancies between the autopsy and the ministry’s account.
Imad Tawil, a 27-year-old resident of Deir al-Balah, was allegedly beaten by Hamas police early on Sunday during a raid by officers in the city’s al-Nuseirat Refugee Camp. A half hour later, Tawil began to complain of chest pains before collapsing. Although he was rushed to a nearby hospital, he later died, according to the Independent Commission for Human Rights.
Protests rocked the West Bank last month over the death of opposition figure Nizar Banat while in the custody of the Paleostinian Authority’s security services.
The demonstrations, which saw thousands take to the streets in Hebron and Ramallah, were brutally suppressed by Paleostinian officers. Human rights groups have charged that some protesters were beaten during the dispersal. Others had their phones and cameras smashed or stolen in an attempt to prevent them from documenting the violence.
In contrast, Gaza has remained relatively quiet since the deaths of the two men, although their funeral processions saw hundreds gather to mourn in the neighborhoods in which they lived, according to local media.

[IsraelTimes] 4 men, 1 woman held in connection with killing of Muhammad Abu Nijm, which police say was linked to a conflict between families for control over local businesses.
Police said Tuesday they had arrested five people in connection with the deadly shooting of an official in the Islamic Movement
...the Israeli branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, it appeared on the scene in the 1970s, splitting into the usual militant and political arms: the outlawed militant Northern Branch based in Umm al-Fahm in the Galilee, and the political Southern Branch based in Kafr Qasim near Tel Aviv, which hopes to achieve the same goals via Israeli politics and is now part of Naftali Bennett’s governing coalition. About 10% of Israel’s Arabs are connected to the organization, if only as recipients of its many charities. Raed Saleh is the Northern Branch’s fiery big kahuna, though he fancies the title "Sheikh of Al Aqsa" as more suitable, and openly supports Hamas, Erdogan’s Turkey, and the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt...
in the central city of Jaffa
...the Northern Branch expanded into Jaffa two decades ago, attracted by the 40% of the population that is Arab...
in January.
Police said the arrests were the result of a wide-ranging undercover investigation that concluded the killing was part of a feud between families over control of businesses in the city.
Mohammad Abu Nijm, a well-known activist in the political movement,
...accountant by day, so he may have known something someone didn't want known, or possibly he was just caught in the crossfire; Jaffa Moslem Brüderbund Number 1 by night — which is a bit more serious than a mere “activist”...
and his nephew, Omar Kurdi,
...age 26, of Ramle...
were maimed when a gunman opened fire on January 24.
The two were taken to Wolfson Hospital in Holon for treatment, where Abu Nijm later departed this vale of tears.
According to Channel 12 news, the investigation revealed the murder was part of a conflict between families in Jaffa that has claimed at least 10 victims.
Abu Nijm, 39, had no criminal background but was connected to one of the families that was party to the conflict.
The report said police concluded that those arrested — four men and one woman, all in their 20s — knew the victims and were residents of the same Jaffa neighborhood.
Abu Nijm was a well-known activist in the Islamic Movement, a political organization, religious outreach group and social service provider founded in the 1970s. The movement split two decades ago — the more moderate southern branch is represented by the coalition’s Ra’am party, while the more hardline northern branch has been outlawed in Israel.
Arab Israeli cities and towns have seen a dramatic spike in violence over the past several years. Government officials, both Arab and Jewish, have said organized crime is driving the body count.
Arab Israelis argue that police neither enforce the law in their cities nor work to solve murders in Arab communities. Police charge that Arabs do not cooperate with investigations by law enforcement, leading to low rates of success.
Some 46 Arab Israelis have been killed in homicides since the beginning of 2021, according to the Abraham Initiatives nonprofit organization.
In 2020, around 70 percent of homicide victims in Israel were Arab, although Arab Israelis constitute just 20 percent of the population.
[IsraelTimes] Four arrested as part of cell inspired by group, according to Jordanian newspaper; military prosecutor says they also considered targeting Jews in the kingdom.
Four Jordanians allegedly involved with the bully boyIslamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... terror group have been charged with plotting to attack Israeli soldiers near the Jordanian border, the Jordanian newspaper al-Rai reported.
The four suspects, who were arrested by Jordanian intelligence, planned to attack and overcome Jordanian border guards before reaching the Israelis on the other side of the border near Wadi Araba in the south, the Monday night report said.
"Intelligence operations by intelligence agents resulted in the detection and arrest of the cell’s members, preventing them from completing their terror plot," the report said.
According to the reported indictment, the four suspects met in the Jordanian cities of Irbid and Karak. All were inspired by the bully boy Islamic State, which has conducted an insurgency in Iraq and Syria for years as well as terror attacks around the world.
Their plans grew more sophisticated, and the four allegedly discussed targeting not just Israeli soldiers, but also Jews — likely foreign nationals — living in the kingdom.
One of the four cell members was arrested at the end of last year, and the remaining three were caught in February, the report said.
According to the indictment, issued by the Jordanian State Security Prosecutor, the four intended to acquire firearms to execute the plot, but were arrested before they could purchase them, al-Rai said.
Jordan has had peace with Israel since 1994, when the two countries signed a historic treaty in Wadi Araba. The two sides have cooperated closely on security for decades, although worsening relations between Jordan’s King Abdullah II and former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu chilled ties in recent years.
The Islamic State organization has posed a challenge to Jordan’s internal stability in recent years. While the radical terror group — which sought to restore the glory days of the historic Islamic caliphate — has been on the retreat for years, Jordan still bears scars from the struggle.
In 2015 when IS burned captured Jordanian pilot Muadh al-Kasasbeh alive in a cage, it disseminated a graphic video of his painful death, shocking and outraging the kingdom.
The following year, IS-affiliated murderous Moslems stormed a tourist site in the southern city of Karak, killing 14 civilians and security personnel. Five of the attackers perished in the crossfire.
[NYPOST] South Africa’s state-owned ports and freight rail operator Transnet has declared "force majeure" at the country’s main container terminals because of "an act of cyberattack, security intrusion and sabotage" that struck last week.The measure, which releases a company from fulfilling contractual obligations, affects key container terminals in Durban, Ngqura, Port Elizabeth and Cape Town, Rooters reported Tuesday, citing a note dated Monday that Transnet sent to customers.
"Transnet, including Transnet Port Terminals, experienced an act of cyberattack, security intrusion and sabotage, which resulted in the disruption of TPT normal processes and functions or the destruction or damage of equipment or information," the note reads, according to Bloomberg.
"Investigators are currently determining the exact source of the cause of compromise and extent of the ICT data security breach or sabotage."
Transnet is reportedly taking "all available and reasonable mitigation measures" to limit the impact of the disruption. Container terminals are operating at a slower pace than usual, Bloomberg reported.
Transnet representatives did not return The Post’s request for comment. The company said in a statement to Rooters that the force majeure declaration would be lifted soon.
In Sweden many of the gangs are pure Muslim ethnic immigrant groups, while others are Eastern Europeans ethnic immigrant groups, only a few are native gangs. I don’t know if the situation is similar in Germany.
[DW] The killing of a top journalist in the Netherlands shows that drugs gangs are increasingly likely to use violence, a new German report shows. It also highlighted increased trafficking of "New Psychoactive Substances."
A German government report into drug crime released on Tuesday shows how organized crime groups are increasingly likely to use violence.
Police identified some 284,723 suspects acting as part of criminal organizations in 2020 — and they were increasingly likely to be armed.
JOURNALIST KILLING REVEALS DANGER
Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) President Holger Munch said the data showed a "growing potential for violence in this phenomenon area."
Munch said the fatal shooting of Dutch crime journalist Peter de Vries in Amsterdam earlier this month was evidence of the threat posed by organized international narcotics trafficking.
According to media reports, de Vries may have been caught between the fronts of a cocaine war between rival mafia clans.
The German government's federal drugs commissioner Daniela Ludwig warned that the situation in Germany should not be allowed to go as far as that in the Netherlands.
"We are seeing an increasing number of drug-related crimes in Germany and the EU, which are being carried out ever more brutally, ever more unscrupulously," said Ludwig.
"We must prevent criminals from behaving in Germany as if their actions had no consequences, as if they were in a lawless space. That is by no means the case here, and we must make that even clearer in the future!"
The largest increase in trafficking offenses in 2020 was in New Psychoactive Substances (NPS), the report said. The number increased by 16.2% compared to the previous year.
NPS are designed to replicate the effects of illegal drugs like cannabis, cocaine and ecstasy while remaining legal. They were previously more commonly known as "legal highs."
They include synthetic cannabinoids like "spice," as well as substances that mimic stimulants, tranquilizers, and hallucinogens.
Germany was still being used as a transit country for chemicals in drugs production, the officials said. In 2020, several shipments of amphetamine precursors were seized at German airports.
There were also larger quantities of chemicals for the production of NPS from China, destined for the Netherlands. Production facilities for the manufacture of synthetic drugs have increasingly been identified on Dutch soil.
For cocaine, trafficking offenses increased by 9.6% over the same period, and for so-called crystal, or crystalline methamphetamine, by 7.2%.
'TRADITIONAL' DRUGS STILL BIG BUSINESS
The most trafficked narcotic in 2020 was cannabis with 31,961 recorded cases, followed by amphetamines with 5,581 recorded offenses.
When it came to heroin trafficking, cases known to the police were down 4.9% compared to 2019. However, a woman is only as old as she admits... officials said, there was thought to still be widespread availability and continued demand for the drug in the German market.
Estimates by the United Nations ...a lucrative dumping ground for the relatives of dictators and party hacks... show opium poppy cultivation areas in southwest Asia grew significantly in 2020.
When it came to cocaine, the trend appeared to be ever upward. Total cocaine seizures in 2020 were at least 11 metric tons. In 2018, there were at least 5 metric tons, which had increased to 10 tons in 2019. A record seizure of 16 tons in the Port of Hamburg in February this year indicates that this trend will continue.
Restrictions imposed because of the COVID-19 pandemic were said to have had little impact on narcotics crime. Drugs continue to be widely available, officials say, with increased use of the already well-established online trade.
There are still a few more rounds to go before he is finally hung, or shot, or whatever it is they do to put bad guys out of their misery over there.
[AlAhram] An Egyptian criminal court sentenced terrorist Bahaa Kishk, a top aide to Hisham Ashmawy
...also in our archives as Hesham El-Ashmawy and Hisham el-Ashmawi, he was also known as Abu Omar El-Mohager (the immigrant). El-Ashmawy was thrown out of Egyptian special forces in 2011 for extremism. He went on to help found Ansar Bayt Al Maqdis, then the local branch of Al Qaeda, with whom he shared the results of his military training. When they became ISIS in the Sinai, he left for the Western Desert to form the Al Qaeda linked al-Mourabitoun. At some point they wandered off to Libya, where in 2018 the LNA caught him and sent him back. Egypt had convicted Mr. Ashmawy in absentia in 2014 of misbehaving, so when they got him back it was just a matter of executing, in both senses...
who was executed in Egypt last year, and two others to death on Tuesday over terrorism charges.
The court referred the sentences to Egypt's Grand Mufti for a non-binding opinion, and set 25 October to issue its final verdict in the case.
The defendants are charged of leading al-Qaeda-aligned group "Al-Mourabitoun" along with Ashmawy, and financing a terrorist organization with arms, ammunition and explosives.
Kishk, who was arrested in Libya and extradited to Egypt, was considered the right hand of Ashmawy who was also captured in the eastern Libyan city of Derna in late 2018.
Asmawy, described as the country's most dangerous terrorist, was handed over to Egypt by forces loyal to Commander Khalifa Haftar ...Self-proclaimed Field Marshal, served in the Libyan army under Muammar Qadaffy, and took part in the coup that brought Qadaffy to power in 1969. He became a prisoner of war in Chad in 1987. While held prisoner, he and his fellow officers formed a group hoping to overthrow Qadaffy, so it's kind of hard to describe him as a Qadaffy holdover. He was released around 1990 in a deal with the United States government and spent nearly two decades in the United States, gaining US citizenship. In 1993, while living in the United States, he was convicted in absentia of crimes against the Jamahiriya and sentenced to death. Haftar held a senior position in the anti-Qadaffy forces in the 2011 Libyan Civil War. In 2014 he was commander of the Libyan Army when the General National Congress (GNC) refused to give up power in accordance with its term of office. Haftar launched a campaign against the GNC and its Islamic fundamentalist allies. His campaign allowed elections to take place to replace the GNC, but then developed into a civil war. Guess you can't win them all. Actually, he is, but slowly... in May 2019.
Ashmawy was handed two death sentence ...the barbaric practice of sentencing a murderer to be punished for as long as his/her/its victim is dead... s after being convicted of orchestrating several deadly high-profile attacks against security forces. He was executed by hanging in March 2020.
Surely there is another statewide role that does not have such strong a incumbent where he would have as much fun...
[BREITBART] Texas political figure George P. Bush failed to win an endorsement from former President Donald Trump ...His ancestors didn't own any slaves... on Monday for the state attorney general race.The former president endorsed current Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton for reelection — even though he is under investigation by 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... for dealings with political donors and was indicted for securities fraud.
"Ken has my Complete and Total Endorsement for another term as Attorney General of Texas," Trump wrote. "He is a true Texan who will keep Texas safe—and will never let you down!"
George P. Bush, the son of failed presidential candidate Jeb Bush, worked hard to demonstrate to Trump he fully supported the president in an attempt to win his endorsement.
He pinned a picture of himself and Trump on his Twitter account, after visiting the former president in Bedminster, New Jersey in June.
During the campaign, Bush’s team gave out beer koozies reminding voters of positive things that Trump had said about him.
But Trump remained loyal to Paxton, who helped lead the fight challenging the 2020 presidential election by suing four battleground states. The Supreme Court ...the political football known as The Highest Court in the Land, home of penumbrae and emanations... did not take up the case. Paxton also spoke at Trump’s rally in Washington, DC, on January 6th to challenge the election results.
Bush responded to Trump’s endorsement by again pointing out Paxton’s legal troubles on social media.
"I’m running for Attorney General because Texans deserve integrity and honesty from the office of Texas’ top law enforcement official," Bush said. "Texans deserve a candidate without a laundry list of existing and potential criminal indictments."
grom, you may consider Columba Bush's ethnicity a liability for her son's candidacy but I have no problem with it. Here in Southern California we interact with Hispanics all the time and there is usually no problem. The problem with George P. Bush is on his father's side of the family. Roosevelts, Kennedy's, Clintons and Bushes have done quite enough to this country.

[KhaamaPress] Ever since the Taliban ...Arabic for students... toppled two Police Districts of Kandahar city —the thriving provincial capital- and neighboring districts of the capital city, the city has been the battlefield between the Afghan government forces and the Taliban.
The warring sides have been fighting in six Police Districts of the city for the past three weeks.
As per a survey cited by local journalists, an average number of over one hundred thousand people from 22 thousand families have been displaced to secure areas of Kandahar city. Four families are now living in a residence once fit for only one and most of the others are living on the roads.
Tens of families have also been settled in two local camps.
In a temperature now soaring 40 centigrade, people in Kandahar are devoid of electricity, fuel price has been nearly doubled, academic institutions are shut and there are no mobile signals/connections available by night.
Local journalists report that public residential areas and homes have been transformed into military bastions and are being used by both sides.
Civilians are being killed and maimed on daily basis but there is no human rights ...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless... advocate to defend the violation of human rights.
Pillage once reported from the districts of Kandahar province has to been witnessed in the thriving provincial capital as several shops and drugstores reportedly looted recently.
People in Kandahar city warn that if the conflict continues with its current momentum, more people will displace which will lead to a humanitarian disaster in the strategic province of Kandahar.
[KhaamaPress] Tajikistan Foreign minister Sirojiddin Muhriddin on Tuesday said that the government cannot state the exact number of refugees to be allowed from Afghanistan and will remain cautious while accepting asylum seekers from its war-ravaged neighbor.
Muhriddin fears that the supporters of terrorist groups might enter along with the people of Afghanistan.
Earlier, the Tajik government had acknowledged that the country is willing to accept up to one hundred thousand Afghan refugees as conflicts rage in the country and the Taliban ...Arabic for students... are now controlling over 190 districts.
"We need to create certain conditions for Afghan refugees to avoid the spread of coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague) ...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men... in the meantime", said Muhriddin.
The Tajik Foreign Minister in the meantime expressed concern over the potential entrance of al-Qaeda, Turkistan Islamic Party,
...TIP is listed under Tehrik-e-Taliban in the Al Qaeda organization table...
and Ansarullah’s associates who are outlawed by Russia.
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.
On Friday, the deputy of Tajikistan’s Committee for Emergency and Civil Defense said the country is assessing its potential for accepting one hundred Afghan refugees and the public is also building camps.
The optimistic call is voiced by the northern neighbor of Afghanistan after Pak high-ranking officials said that they cannot afford more Afghan refugees. The Pak officials had also seen the case as the same to Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... but the Iranian government is yet officially comment on the issue.
[Townhall] Fear is contagious. It’s almost as bad as the Delta variant. Again, is the new variant more transmissible? Yes. Is it deadlier? No. Does it make you sicker? No. Are those being impacted primarily the unvaccinated? Most definitely. So, when you want to increase vaccination rates, the government did what it did best: screw things up. Fully vaccinated people now must wear masks again in high-case areas. What constitutes a highly infectious area? Well, that’s not clear yet, but I’m sure the CDC and Dr. Anthony Fauci will make up some science fiction to justify this new mask mandate. The mandates are coming too. Not nationwide, Biden can’t do that yet due to the midterms, but federal agencies are one-by-one mandating it for workers who risk the loss of pay or their jobs if they refuse.
Get vaccinated but also continue to live in fear. Yeah, no wonder why hesitancy is through the roof. All this move does is make the vaccine-hesitant dig in further and give anti-vaxxers all the ammunition they need to chip away at the credibility of the vaccines. You can’t be mad at the latter group when those who want us to get vaccinated offer all the ammunition to shoot that narrative down or at the very least question it—heavily.
Well, take a break from being mad and read what Johns Hopkins doctor Dr. Marty Makary wrote about new studies about natural immunity which if ignored by Fauci and company. He also rehashed an old Fauci statistic that shreds the current push for new mask protocols and possible lockdowns (via WSJ) [emphasis mine]:
#4
there are all sorts of ways to cherrypick data, and the Holy State _needs_ to be able to censor the media in order to hide stuff like Daszak's role in creating the virus. So they turn everything into an argument about the Vaccine. And they're accusing Trump of opposing it when he's one of the biggest vaccine boosters around.
There's multiple layers of walls of lies floating around.
#9
Wouldn't it be great if Fauci died of these... blood clots?
I'd make a large wager that Fauci has not been, and won't be, vaccinated. He *says* he has been, but given his track record that's strong evidence that he hasn't.
[MIDDLEEASTEYE.NET] Mohammed al-Kani, a Libyan militia leader who has been accused of murdering hundreds of civilians in the western Libyan town of Tarhuna, was announced dead on Tuesday by several local sources.
Kani was the leader of the notorious Kaniyat militia, also known as the 7th Brigade or the 9th Brigade, part of eastern commander Khalifa Haftar ...Self-proclaimed Field Marshal, served in the Libyan army under Muammar Qadaffy, and took part in the coup that brought Qadaffy to power in 1969. He became a prisoner of war in Chad in 1987. While held prisoner, he and his fellow officers formed a group hoping to overthrow Qadaffy, so it's kind of hard to describe him as a Qadaffy holdover.

[KhaamaPress] The leader of Tahrik-e-Taliban ...Arabic for students... Pakistain (TTP) Noor Wali Mehsud
...the fourth Number 1 of the Pakistani branch of the Taliban, he was tapped for the honour after his predecessor was dronezapped in 2018. A member of the Mehsud tribe of South Waziristan, the right reverend mufti (a title he earned by acquiring a diploma from a Pakistani madrassah, impressive in a society where most are completely illiterate) is especially keen on the hospitality aspect (to domestic and foreign jihadis) of Pashtunwali ...
appeared in a TV interview for the first time ever and said that their relations with the Afghan Taliban are based on brotherhood, sympathy, and Islamic principles. He seems to prefer the turban to the pie-hat
Mehsud was interviewed by CNN ...the organization formerly known as the Cable News Network. Now who knows what it might stand for... through intermediaries somewhere along the Pak-Afghan border.
The TTP leader acknowledged that the victory of the Afghan Taliban in Afghanistan is not limited to the country but it is a victory for the entire Moslem people in the world.
The victory of the Afghan Taliban is voiced at a time when nearly half of the Afghan districts have fallen to the fighters.
Earlier, US CENTCOM Commander General Frank McKenzie had said that the Taliban are pretending their victory is inevitable which he believes is not the case indeed.
The Pak Taliban’s leader though claims their core objectives to be fighting Pak Security Forces and gaining control over the Pak tribal regions, they have too conducted heinous attacks in Afghanistan close to the border with Pakistain.
Their bloodiest attack in Afghanistan was that on a base in 2009 in which seven CIA officers and contractors were killed in Khost province ... across the border from Miranshah, within commuting distance of Haqqani hangouts such as Datta Khel and probably within sight of Mordor. Khost is populated by six different tribes of Pashtuns, the largest probably being the Khostwal, from which it takes its name... bordering Pakistain.
As per political analysts, the Afghan Taliban’s so-called victory in Afghanistan will harm Pakistain as the latter will face an influx of Afghan refugees in case civil war erupts.
[TASS] Wildfire suppression units in the Khabarovsk Region are combating blazes encompassing over 5,800 hectares, the regional forestry committee told TASS Tuesday.
"The forest protection authorities registered 11 wildfires this week. Five blazes covering a total of 5,806 hectares (14,332.11 acres) are currently being extinguished. The operation involves 129 people and 41 vehicles," the committee said.
The largest wildfire, located in the Nikolayesky district, has engulfed over 5,500 hectares (13,590.8 acres) alone, and it has been localized.
Last week, smoke from the wildfires in Yakutia was recorded in the Khabarovsk Region. Currently, the wind change has dispersed the smoke.
The total wildfire area in the region is over 8,200 hectares (20,262.64 acres), including a 7-hectare fire in the Dzugdzhursky reserve. At present, there are some blazes that are out of reach and can’t be extinguished.
"Some wildfires are located in remote or hard-to-reach areas, and it is almost impossible to get there, let alone send vehicles. A special commission assesses the danger of such hotspots, and, if no threat is found, usually it won’t be tackled. Rather it will be allowed to burn out on its own naturally. Usually, such fires spark from thunderstorms in taiga. Currently, we have five such fires, with total area of 2,400 hectares (5,930.529 acres)," says Committee Forest Guard and Protection Division head Vladimir Letuta.
In order to prevent such blazes, 18 districts have imposed special anti-fire measures. The public has been barred from visiting the woods or working with fire.
Current weather conditions
The region has been experiencing an abnormal heatwave, with daytime temperatures rising 7 degrees above average for this period of the year, which ramps up the danger of wildfires occurring.
"Since the beginning of the spring, we have been conducting regular preventive raids in the forests, identifying those who violate the fire safety regulations. There are substantial fines for violating it. A person may face a fine of up to 7,000 rubles, while a company can be fined by up to 500,000 rubles. However, punishment is not the goal. The most important thing to note here is that any small fire can morph into a wildfire that destroys everything in its path. The situation in Yakutia is a shining example. Therefore, we urge our citizens to comply with the fire safety rules," Letuta stressed.
Since the beginning of the fire hazard period, the blazes swept across 147,000 hectares (363,244.911 acres). Last year, the total fire area in the region was 226,000 hectares (558,458.162 acres).
[LIBYAREVIEW] During a meeting on Sunday evening, Tunisia’s President Kais Saied and the country’s security and military leaders, decided to dismiss Tunisian Prime Minister Hicham Mechichi, suspend the country’s Parliament, and waive the immunity of all its members.These decisions came in the wake of widespread protests across Tunisia against the PM and Ennahda, the Islamist ruling party affiliated with the Moslem Brüderbund, over the nation’s economic and social turmoil.
These events brought back memories of the Arab Spring, which began a decade ago in Tunisia, following the mass protest against the previous regime of Zine El Abidine Ben Ali.
The uprisings, which demanded an end to corruption and economic stagnation, managed to overthrow four Arab regimes in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, and Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of... This sudden change opened the door to widespread security turmoil, the proliferation of arms, illegal border movements, and bolstered terrorism in the region. These revolutions did not eliminate corruption, rather the economic and living conditions worsened in several states.
The Moslem Brüderbund (MB) organization took advantage of these events, and rode the crest of the revolutionary wave, and quickly secured power in Cairo, Tunis, and 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... In July 2014, millions of Egyptians erupted into the streets; calling for the overthrow of the Brotherhood government. The country’s security agencies, especially the army and police, responded quickly to these demands.
The same scenario has happened again in Tunisia, with the Tunisian people rising up against the policies and practices of Ennahda, its MP’s, and government ministers.
President Saied announced that he would assume control of the executive authority with the assistance of a new prime minister. This is the biggest challenge yet to a 2014 democratic constitution that split powers between the President, Prime Minister, and Parliament.
The events in Tunisia are a decisive blow to the MB, leaving Libya its final stronghold in the region.
All the while in Libya, there is widespread popular criticism against the Moslem Brüderbund due to its continued alliance with militias, foreign forces, and mercenaries, as well as its involvement in many cases of corruption, theft, and terrorism.
Observers believe that these developments will have a significant negative impact on the MB’s Justice and Construction Party in Libya, and affect the organization across the region.
