    • Like trips to the antarctic? Patriarch Kirill, Kerry, and maybe PM of Japan Abe (to visit first time to Argentina in 57 years next week -after meeting Trump in N.Y.C.)

    • Germany’s federal prosecution has accused a teenager of supporting the Daesh jihadist group by proofreading and translating its propaganda materials, according to a statement released Friday…

      WTF!

      Am I to believe that this jihadist’s abject treason, somehow, didn’t manage to fall under the quantum-space-contorted label of EU “free speech” (yes, those are sneer quotes)???

      Who’s kidding whom? As in, does any sane person really think that this terrorist maggot will get more than fifteen seconds worth of jail time?!?

  4. Former NATO commander ‘behind failed coup against Erdogan’ – Turkish daily (RT, Nov 18, 2016)
    https://www.rt.com/news/353126-campbell-nato-coup-turkey/

    “The former commander of NATO forces in Afghanistan, retired US Army General John F. Campbell, was the mastermind behind the failed military coup in Turkey, the Yeni Safak daily has reported, citing sources close to investigation.

    General John F. Campbell, 59, was “one of the top figures who organized and managed the soldiers behind the failed coup attempt in Turkey,” the conservative paper’s English-language edition said on Monday.

    The paper is known for its loyal support of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who was the target of the coup attempt.

    According to Yeni Safak, Campbell “also managed more than $2 billion in transactions via UBA Bank in Nigeria by using CIA links to distribute among the pro-coup military personnel in Turkey.”

    The retired US general had allegedly paid “at least two secret visits” to Turkey since May up to the attempted coup, which the Turkish authorities blamed on what they call the Fethullah Terrorist Organization (FETO).

    Turkey’s foreign minister, Mevlut Cavusoglu, warned on Monday that ties with Washington could suffer unless they extradite the US-based cleric Fethullah Gulen, Erdogan’s ideological adversary. Washington has repeatedly said that Turkey must provide solid evidence of any links Gulen might have to the attempted coup before any possible extradition process is discussed.

    The Turkish daily reported that Campbell had top secret meetings at the Erzurum military base and Incirlik air base in Turkey, adding that the US general “directed the process of trending / blacklisting the military officers in the base.”

    According to the paper, “Millions of dollars of money has been transferred from Nigeria to Turkey by a group of CIA personnel. The money, which has been distributed to an 80-person special team of the CIA, was used to convince pro-coup generals. After taking money from their bank accounts, the CIA team hand-delivered it to the terrorists under the military dresses.”

    The Turkish government and President Erdogan are using this as a pretext to put pressure on the US in an effort to get Gulan extradited, the founder and director of the Centre for Turkey Studies and Development in London, Ibrahim Dogus, told RT…”

  5. US releases Haitians coming from Mexico

    SAN DIEGO (AP) — A surge in border crossings and a lack of immigration jail space have prompted the federal government to start releasing Haitian immigrants who have been entering the country in large numbers in recent months, backtracking on a pledge to jail the migrants.

    A U.S. government official told The Associated Press that the decision to free Haitians arriving in Arizona and California is in response to a lack of jail space. The official said releasing immigrants with orders to report later to immigration court is a tactic used when detention space is scarce, under certain humanitarian conditions or as part of efforts to keep families together.

    Before the Haitians are released, they are subjected to a criminal background and national security check. The official was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and insisted on speaking on condition of anonymity.

  6. migrants now pouring in near Yuma

    Latest surge of families and children coming to U.S. has forced immigration officials to release some Haitians from detention centers.

    There has been a sharp rise in the number of Central American families and unaccompanied minors entering the country illegally along the border with Mexico in the Yuma area of southwestern Arizona.

    That area had been one of the quietest areas for crossings along the entire southern border.

    But the recent spike suggests smuggling organizations have changed their routes to evade stepped-up immigration enforcement in Mexico, sending Central American migrants through other areas of the border beyond south Texas.

    The Rio Grande Valley of south Texas remains the main entry point for a wave of Central American families and unaccompanied minors.

  7. Family Living near Border Requesting More Patrols

    WESLACO – A family living along the border is growing fearful for their safety as the rise in people crossing the border illegally continues.

    The Ochoa family lives in a neighborhood a few blocks from the Rio Grande. They want their home to be safe. They see people crossing their land every day and are fed up.

    Juan Ochoa said it’s no longer one or two immigrants coming through his backyard.

    “They caught another four, five of them behind there and I was here at that time,” he recalled.

    Ochoa said his dogs are the first to notice the illegal crossings. “Day and night, you can hear the dogs barking,” he said.

    His family usually leaves the back door unlocked when they’re home. However, that changed last Friday when they heard a noise coming from the back of the home.

    “One of them came in through the back door,” Ochoa said.

    A person who crossed the border illegally entered their home asking to hide from Border Patrol.

    “They can come and do harm to us. So we’re pretty, pretty afraid of these people crossing constantly,” he said.

    Ochoa’s fiancé said she’s afraid for her family. She asked for her identity to be hidden.

  8. Suspicious tracking device found on MTA bus in Staten Island

    Police are trying to determine who placed a mysterious tracking device on an MTA bus at a depot in Staten Island.

    Two maintenance workers at the Yukon Bus Depot on Yukon Ave. in New Springville found the tracker attached to an oil pan at about 11 a.m.. Wednesday.

    MTA officials called police, and NYPD Emergency Service Unit cops swarmed the depot, searching each bus and the terminal itself looking for additional devices, sources said.

    Cops said the device was not explosive and was “not known to the MTA.”

  9. Another message from voters in last week’s election: Time to retire the race card
    By Howard Portnoy November 18, 2016

    As Jeff Dunetz intimates in an article on the struggles for leadership within the bruised Democratic party, last week’s presidential election provided a wakeup call for the Left. If they are willing to listen, one of the messages voters delivered is to stop playing the race card. We’ll see if liberals are wise enough to heed the message, but in the immediate aftermath of their crushing defeat at the polls, they are appear to be standing pat.

    Witness an article at CNN’s website by Isaac Bailey, who is identified as “primary columnist for The Sun News in Myrtle Beach” S.C. The piece carries the unfortunate (for author and publisher) headline “Why we can’t forget the racism of this campaign.” The content is as wearily predictable as the title. It opens with a sob story, likely apocyphal, about a waiter who, like Bailey, is black and was reportedly hailed by a white customer as “Boy.”

    This anecdote is used as a bridge to the article’s main theme, encapsulated in this paragraph:

  10. If the MSM wants a war on whose news is fake, bring it on!
    By Howard Portnoy November 17, 2016

    Yesterday, I reported with some pride that LU had made a list of “fake” news sources compiled by an instructor at an obscure college in Massachusetts. Ordinarily, the musings of an assistant professor at a school ranked 57th in the category Regional Universities North would fail to receive the attention of even the Eagle Tribune (circulation: 35,397), the local newspaper in North Andover. But these are desperate times, and many in the so-called “elite media” have adopted the author of this flawed and heavily biased report their poster child. Any port in the storm, one supposes.

    Among the “news” outlets that have picked up on this story is one with no room to talk. That would be CNN, which during the election earned the nickname Clinton Network News. A piece at CNN Money snipes at “sites designed to trick people, including Truthfeed and Gateway Pundit” and laments that “fake news has been a major issue during the election.”

    No one would know that better than Cable Network News. As revealed by WikiLeaks just before the election, the network colluded with the DNC on which questions to ask Ted Cruz during the primary debate he moderated in April. CNN’s purpose was to attempt to secure the GOP nomination for Donald Trump, the one candidate the Left was sure Hillary Clinton could beat in the general election.

    A new — and sinister– picture is emerging in the shooting deaths of three American soldiers earlier this month in Jordan, an important U.S. ally in the Middle East.

    When Army Sgt. James Moriarity’s body came home, U.S. officials said a video of the incident in which he and two other American soldiers were killed appeared to show a deliberate terrorist attack — not, as was first believed, a tragic accident.

    German prosecutors on Friday charged two Syrian men with membership in a terrorist organization on allegations they fought with a militant Islamist group in Syria.

    Prosecutors said 24-year-old Kamel T.H.J. and 22-year-old Azad R. allegedly fought with the ultra-conservative Ahrar al-Sham against other rebel groups and Syrian government troops in the Aleppo area from at least August 2013 until April 2014, when the younger man was injured.

    The two then traveled to Turkey together and then in 2015 onto Germany for the injured fighter to receive medical care.

      http://www.dw.com/en/german-prosecutors-charge-two-syrians-for-ahrar-al-sham-membership/a-36444080

      “German prosecutors have charged two Syrian men with membership of the hard-line Syrian rebel faction Ahrar al-Sham. Separately, a 17-year-old Afghan was charged with Taliban membership.

      Two Syrian men have been charged with membership of a terrorist organization for joining the hard-line Syrian rebel faction Ahrar al-Sham, German prosecutors said on Friday.

      The 24-year-old “Kamel T.” and 22-year-old “Azad R.” can not be named under German law until they have been sentenced in court. They are accused of fighting with Ahrar al-Sham against the Syrian government and other rebel factions from August 2013 until April 2014.

      Both men have been in custody since their April arrest.

      After the younger suspect was wounded in clashes near Aleppo, the two traveled together to Turkey and then onto Germany in 2015 for medical treatment.

      Salafist militant group

      Ahrar al-Sham is an ultra-conservative Salafist militant group and one of the most powerful rebel factions in Syria with between 15,000 and 20,000 fighters.

      Its goal is to overthrow the government of President Bashar al-Assad and install an Islamic state in Syria. Unlike other jihadist factions, the group’s goals are limited to Syria and its fighters are predominately Syrians.

      Ahrar al-Sham fights against the self-declared “Islamic State” (IS) but cooperates with some other rebel factions including Jabhat Fatah al-Sham (Fatah al-Sham), formerly known as the al-Qaeda linked Jabhat al-Nusra.

      However, it is not listed as a terrorist organization by the United States, European Union or the United Nations. Russia and Syria have demanded it be labeled a terrorist organization, but the West views the group as critical to a political solution although the US, EU and UN have called for the group to distance itself from al-Qaeda.
      Ahrar al-Sham is backed by Turkey and the Arab Gulf states…”

  14. Euro falling against the dollar,

    On November 7th it was $1.1101 v 1.00 euros

    as of 10:25 CST on November 19th it is $1.0582 v 1 euro

    In 11 days it has fallen 5.19 cents in71/2 days. It isn’t falling like a rock but it is getting close to free fall territory. The more the euro drops against the dollar the weaker the EU gets, and if it falls below parity with the dollar the EU is then trending towards bankruptcy. The danger point will be some where around 75 cebts to the euro, if it falls that far brack for a major economic mess.

    Thirty-two Sri Lankan Muslims from “well-educated and elite” families have joined Islamic State in Syria, the justice minister said on Friday, adding that the government would not allow the spread of extremism in the island nation.

    Wijeyadasa Rajapakshe’s statement to parliament came as President Maithripala Sirisena has been criticised for failing to curb religious hate speech amid the emergence of both Muslim and Buddhist extremist groups.

    “All these (Muslims) are not from ordinary families. These people are from the families which are considered as well-educated and elite,” Rajapakshe said, citing reports by some unnamed foreign intelligence agencies.

    A debate flared in Turkey on Friday after a government proposal which would pardon some people imprisoned for statutory rape fell short of passage by legislators.

    The proposal would defer sentencing or punishment for sexual assault in cases where there was no force and where the victim and perpetrator were married. Opposition legislators, rights groups and other critics warned that the proposal facilitates child marriage.

    The proposal was introduced late Thursday by the ruling Justice and Development Party, rooted in Turkey’s Islamic movement, which says it is meant to protect those who were too young to marry legally. The proposal will be brought up again for consideration on Tuesday.

    • Of course, Canada already has a database of Muslims – along with every other religion members, ’cause it is mandatory to fill it in truthfully in our census….

      • For the people who weren’t alive during the 1960s and 70s, the vast majority of all pollution has been eliminated, the EPA did what it was suppose to and now the Bureaucrats are searching for something to justify their jobs. To do this they have to attack companies that are needed for the US to be prosperous and strong. The following video is by one of the Founders of Green Peace who is saying that man made global warming is a hoax, in the video he explaines how co2 is needed for the plants to thrive.

        • Please refrain from giving Greenpeace co-founder, Patrick Moore, anything but the (rapidly accelerating) back of your hand. Brass knuckles optional.

          This ambulatory sack-of-sh!t spent decades intentionally helping conflate the concept of nuclear power with that of nuclear weapons. In turn, this caused Americans to rally against any further construction of nuclear power plants.

          All of which created vastly greater US dependence upon Middle East oil.

          This was a prime mover that helped terrorist-sponsor, Saudi Arabia, to earn some BILLION DOLLARS EACH DAY that has allowed them to spread their Wahhabist and Salafist anti-Western hatred all around this planet and is something that directly contributed to the 9-11 Atrocity.

          Patrick Moore has the blood of countless innocent people on his hands and should be brought up on charges of abetting Islamic terrorism.

          For this scum-sucking dirtbag to now come forth and declare nuclear energy as a preferred source of “clean” power represents a naked attempt to wash his hands of filthy pro-terrorist agendas that have caused the deaths of countless Americans, Europeans and, even, innumerable Muslims as well.

          Patrick Moore should be imprisoned or (better yet) executed for his crimes.

      • China to Trump: Climate Change Isn’t A Chinese Hoax. It’s Not. But Here Are 6 Reasons Trump’s Kinda Right Anyway.
        VCG via Getty Images

        China lashed out at President-elect Donald Trump for suggesting that climate change is a hoax that originated with them.

        Liu Zhenmin, China’s vice foreign minister, told reporters on Wednesday that it was impossible for China to have invented the concept of climate change.

        1. China gains a competitive advantage over the United States if the Paris agreement is adopted. George David Banks highlights the double standard China enjoys in the Paris agreement: “Unlike the United States, China is not required to make actual cuts in its greenhouse gases emissions or regulate its manufacturing sector to meet its Paris pledge. In 2014, China accounted for 30 percent of global emissions, dwarfing America’s share of 15 percent.”

        It’s true that China has pledged to implement a cap-and-trade program and their coal use has declined, but Banks notes that China’s “manufacturing emissions for the same three-year period increased across the board in the production of aluminum, steel and cement” and their cap-and-trade system would probably involve “subsidizing key export sectors, thereby providing an even greater trade advantage.”

        In other words, China may not have put forth the concept of global warming, but they benefit from the U.S. implementing climate change policy.

      • The ACLU is once again trying to damage the US and prevent us from defending themselves.

        The idea of no profiling has allowed many criminals to roam free. It gained a bad name (wrongly) when the ACLU sued because a higher percentage of blacks were being stopped in New Jersey for speeding. It turned out that the New Jersey State Police had discovered that blacks driving flashy cars over the speed limit were often transporting drugs to the gangs in NYC for sale. They started having drug sniffing dogs in the cars stopping speeders and when one “hit” on a car called in for a two and a search warrent. When a Federal Judge ordered the program stopped successful interception of drugs drops and the supply of drugs in NYC rose sharply. The LSM quickly decided that using past experience to investigate crimes was evil.

      • Let us hope it is, one of the things that needs to be done is reverse the law that says that the government will pay the ACLU’s legal bills win, lose or draw. This is why they sue so much, if they have to pay for their own legal expenses they won’t sue near as much.

    • RT -USA: Attorney general condemns ‘sobering’ rise in anti-Muslim hate crime

      United States Attorney General, Loretta Lynch, released a video statement from Washington, D.C. on Friday in which she condemned the “deeply sobering” 67 percent rise in hate crimes against Muslim Americans detailed in the recently released FBI 2015 hate crime statistics.

      Lynch said the report also showed an increase in hate crimes against “Jewish people, African Americans and LGBT individuals.” She added that the true number may be far higher as many crimes “go unreported out of shame or fear” and urged Americans to report incidents.

  19. This is a must read article about the growing antisemitism in the Democrats.

    Out of power in the White House and both houses of Congress, the Democrats must decide what sort of party they will be in the post-Obama world.

    They have to basic options.

    They can move to the Center and try to rebuild their blue collar voter base that President-elect Donald Trump captivated with his populist message. To do so they will need to loosen the reins of political correctness and weaken their racialism, their radical environmentalism and their support for open borders.

    Richard: The article talks about how the anti defamation league is trying to label Bannon as an antisemitic, the reason for that is simple, with Ellison about to become head of the Democrats they are trying to paint the Republicans as antisemitic so the money and votes the Jews lavished on the Democrats in the past won’t move over to the Republicans.

    This assessment deals with capabilities not intentions. Russia has more military capabilities then ISIS so it is listed before them, this doesn’t mean they are a greater threat although we have to keep their strength along with China’s in mind.

    Right now ISIS and other Islamic groups are our greatest threats followed by our home grown leftists who are trying to destroy our democracy’s and replace them with Socialist dictatorships. Russia is number 3 on our threat list when you look at the intentions not strength.

  21. Hillary “Attack Dog” David Brock Plotting With Soros, Steyer, Sussman To “Kick Trump’s Ass”

    The last time we encountered David Brock, Hillary Clinton’s so called media “attack dog”, was two months ago when we exposed a money laundering scheme involving over a dozen of his Pro-Clinton SuperPACs. Now, it appears that unable to concede defeat, the man who aligned his career with Hillary Clinton, is going for blood, and is soliciting the help, but mostly money, of Clinton’s top donors.

    According to Politico, Brock is launching his own Koch-brothers-like donor network to finance attacks on President-elect Donald Trump and to rebuild the political left after Trump’s stunning victory over Clinton last week. In an email sent out on Thursday night, Brock emailed more than 200 of the biggest donors on the left, including finance titans George Soros, Tom Steyer and Donald Sussman all of whom invested millions of dollars in Clinton’s campaign with nothing to show for it, inviting them to a private retreat in Palm Beach during inauguration weekend to assess what Democrats did wrong in 2016, figure out how to correct it and raise cash for those initiatives.

    http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-11-17/hillary-attack-dog-david-brock-plotting-billionaire-donors-kick-trumps-ass

    Richard: The Dems are in political disarray and are about to get an openly antisemitic person leading their party but they are forging ahead on their plans to take over the US. Brock is collecting money for the political side of the insurrection we see in the big cities on both coasts. This wing of the insurrection is as important as the direct action arms that we see on the streets. They will present themselves as the moderate resonable alternative to the protesters/rioters who will probably turn to terror attacks sometime next year. The next 4 to 8 years are going to get real interesting and dangerous, the attacks we are now seeing will increase in number and will spread to all sections of the nation.

  22. Former Soviet Dissident Faces Felony Charges for Posters Targeting SJP at George Mason U.
    Anti-terror posters were torn down while Hamas-promoting SJP National Conference was held on campus.

    As students filed back to campus this Fall, the anti-Israel hatefests began. At the University of Michigan on Rosh Hashanah, Jewish students heading to services encountered a mock “apartheid wall” plastered with anti-Israel propaganda and a protestor garbed as an IDF soldier harassing passing students. On the wall was written “CTRL + ALT + DELETE,” the combination of commands needed to restart a PC, implying that Israel should be destroyed and the land should be regenerated as Palestine. At Portland State University, the student senate overwhelmingly passed a resolution supporting a genocidal and Hamas-inspired Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) resolution against Israeli companies. The resolution stated that “the Israeli occupation of Palestinian land has been entrenched since 1948.” At CSU Long Beach, a flier for a Jewish Studies course on Israel’s history and culture was defaced with the message “not a valid course. Israel is occupied territory.” The words “modern State of Israel” were also crossed out and overwritten with “occupation of Palestine.”

    The common thread in all these incidents is the Hamas-funded, anti-Israel hate group Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) which held its annual conference November 4-6 at George Mason University, a public campus in Fairfax, Virginia. In spite of the barrage of evidence—including recent congressional testimony—that SJP is a campus front for Hamas and an instigator of Jew hatred, George Mason opened its doors to the group, providing resources and facilities to the terrorist-supporting campus organization.

  23. Stop Hating White People and Maybe They’ll Vote for You
    It’s either that or the Magical Intersectional Muslim Transwomen Coalition.
    November 18, 2016
    Daniel Greenfield

    After a competitive race between the FBI and sexism, the left decided to blame “white people” for Hillary’s defeat.

    Racist white people refused to vote for a white woman who was married to the country’s first black president. Samantha Bee, who enjoyed 15 seconds of fame replacing John Oliver, Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart as the whiny obnoxious lefty id, declared that white people ruined America.

    “Spare me the euphemisms. White people made Trump president,” a Washington Post headline blared. “White people did this. And maybe (hopefully) not my friends — but certainly their cousins, their uncles, and their friends,” a racist Vox writer shrieked.

    “White people elected Donald Trump,” Vice bleated. “White people put Trump in office,” Fusion whined.

    Majorities of white people did indeed vote for Donald Trump. Oddly enough the left’s culture war of hating white people has only made them more likely to vote for anyone other than the left.

    Funny how that works.

  24. Steve Bannon, Civil Rights Hero
    School choice is now a presidential priority. It could never have happened without Steve Bannon.
    November 18, 2016
    David Horowitz

    Many have called school choice – the movement to liberate African American youngsters from the failed schools that don’t teach them – the “civil rights movement of the 21st Century. Donald Trump is one of those who do, but it was Steve Bannon, the CEO of Trump’s presidential campaign, who put it on Trump’s radar and made it a centerpiece of Trumps “New Deal for Black America.”

    I happen to know this because I was responsible for drawing Bannon’s attention to it in the first place. I bring this up now, not to draw attention to anything I have done, but to defend a man who has been viciously and baselessly portrayed as a “white nationalist” and “racist,” who has put himself on the line for black America in a way that few others have.

    The attempt by desperate, hysterical and malicious voices on the left to isolate, stigmatize and silence Steve Bannon as a “white nationalist,” is despicable, not least because that is the very last thing he is.

    “School choice” is a term to describe the provision of scholarships to poor children who are trapped in inner city public schools where year in and year out nearly half of them fail to graduate and the half who do are functionally illiterate and unable to function in a modern economy. These scholarships or “vouchers” would allow poor children to take the tuition that taxpayers already provide, and use it in a school, private or religious, that would actually teach them.

  26. Soros & Democracy Alliance Billionaires Headed For Your Local Community
    How Democrat mega-donors plan to retake power for the Left.

    http://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/264876/soros-democracy-alliance-billionaires-headed-your-john-perazzo

    While Hollywood celebrities, professional athletes, tenured professors, and fainthearted college students nationwide continue to react to Donald Trump’s presidential election with anger, bewilderment, bouts of weeping, and illiterate tweets, the core leaders of the political Left are already busy planning how they will seek to deligitimize and destroy Trump’s presidency before it even gets off the ground.

    The first major effort in that direction occurred this week in Washington’s luxurious Mandarin Oriental Hotel, where a group of super-wealthy leftist funders known as the Democracy Alliance sponsored a three-day, closed-door meeting attended by the multi-billionaire George Soros, the leaders of many left-wing activist groups and labor unions, and Congressional luminaries like Nancy Pelosi, Elizabeth Warren, and Keith Ellison. Over the past decade, the Democracy Alliance has given at least $500 million to pro-Democrat and leftist causes. High on the list of priorities at its Washington conference was a discussion of how to derail Trump’s “100-day plan,” which the Alliance characterizes as “a terrifying assault on President Obama’s achievements — and our progressive vision for an equitable and just nation.”

    In a recent email to his allies and donors, Democracy Alliance president Gara LaMarche offered a clear indication of where the Democrats plan to direct their attention and resources over the next few years. Specifically, he said that this week’s conference would focus on assessing “what steps we will take together to … take back power, beginning in the states in 2017 and 2018.” Raj Goyle, a Democratic activist who is also involved with the Democracy Alliance, concurred that “progressive donors and organizations need to immediately correct the lack of investment in state and local strategies.”

    • We are going to hear more from these people in the near future, part of the spending will be to block the Donald from doing anything to restore freedom to the US citizens.

  27. #DrainTheSwamp

    http://lawnewz.com/uncategorized/doj-attorney-who-blocked-sessions-from-judgeship-over-racial-concerns-was-later-indicted/

    The former U.S. Department of Justice assistant attorney who was instrumental in blocking Jeff Sessions from a 1996 federal judgeship was apparently indicted on bribery charges several years after his testimony. The testimony from the 1980s is once again relevant amid reports that Trump plans to install Senator Sessions (R-Alabama) as Attorney General of the United States. Sessions has drawn intense scrutiny because his 1996 federal judgeship nomination was rejected after reports emerged that he made racially charged remarks. One of the key figures testifying against Sessions at the time was Mobile, Alabama’s first black federal prosecutor Thomas H. Figures.

    Figures, an Assistant United States Attorney from 1978 to 1985, testified during a 1996 hearing that Sessions called him “boy” on a number of occasions, and also joked about the Ku Klu Klan. However, what has not been reported recently is another interesting twist to the story.

    In 1992, Figures, who had become a defense attorney, was indicted on federal charges for allegedly offering a $50,000 bribe to a convicted drug dealer who was set to testify against his client, according to a 1992 New York Times report. Figures maintained that the charges were retaliation for him testifying against — and effectively blocking — the nomination of Sessions.

    • The Enquirer publishes some bull shit stories but no one has ever won a suit against them for publishing lies. In many ways their journalistic standards are higher then the New York Times. Not that that is very hard to achieve.

  28. 1&1/2 years ago, I attended an Ontario court session in Toronto waiting for a particular case to come up (Eric Brazeau – but that is irrelevant to the point I’m making).

    While waiting for the case to come up, numerous other cases were heard – and I witnessed them, with my own eyes and ears. The vast majority of these cases involved immigrant status claimants who had broken the criminal code.

    The reason they sought this court hearing was one of two possible reasons: either, to shorten the sentence to be under 2 years (as 2 year jail sentence would render them uneligible for refugee/immigrant status) or to post-pone their criminal charges hearing until AFTER their refugee/immigration hearing.

    Because if their criminal record were to be known, that would be PREJUDICIAL in their refugee/immigration hearing.

    The day I observed the court, there were many, many minutes-long hearings like this. Every single one of them was granted…..because don’t want reality to influence the residency hearing!!!

    http://www.timminspress.com/2016/11/17/court-gives-break-to-foreign-national-accused-of-touching-underage-girls

    TIMMINS – A man accused of sexually assaulting one 15-year-old girl, and sexually interfering with another, walked out of a Timmins courtroom a free man on Thursday after he was given an exceptionally lenient plea bargain meant to preserve his chances of becoming a Canadian citizen.

    Niket Bhavsar, a foreign national from India who is in Canada on a work visa, was initially charged with sexual assault, sexual interference, and supplying alcohol to a minor. All of these charges were withdrawn on Thursday as part of a deal where Bhavsar was allowed to plead guilty to one count of common assault.

    The plea bargain – which the parents of Bhavsar’s victims consented to – gave Bhavsar a conditional discharge, which means he will have no criminal record because of the conviction. The court accepted the deal, including the sentence, despite the fact that both the Crown and the presiding judge believed there had been a reasonable prospect of conviction on the charge of sexual assault.

  30. French court charges man over plan to attack church (france 24, Nov 18, 2016)
    http://www.france24.com/en/20161118-french-court-charges-man-over-plan-attack-church

    “PARIS (AFP) – A French anti-terrorism court on Friday charged a 29-year-old man in connection with a thwarted bid to attack a church near Paris in 2015, the prosecutor’s office said.

    The man, charged with association with a terrorist organisation, is suspected of having given the Algerian man who planned to assault a church south of Paris the material he needed for the attack.

    The man’s DNA has been found on a bullet-proof vest that was kept in the home of the would-be attacker, whose name is Sid Ahmed Ghlam.

    After he was charged, the man was released on bail pending further investigation.

    Three other men, who were also arrested earlier this week in connection to the case, have also been released.

    French authorities are currently investigating four more men in connection with the planned Villejuif district church attack. They too are accused of providing Ghlam with weapons and equipment to be used in the planned assault.

    Ghlam, an Algerian IT student, was arrested in April 2015 on suspicion of killing a young woman who was found shot dead in the passenger seat of her car and of planning a church attack…”

  31. the independent – Donald Trump striking a Syria deal with Russia would be ‘most disastrous step possible’, Saudi Arabian prince warns

    ‘Mr Trump should pack his bags and get together with America’s friends in the Middle East’

    Donald Trump deciding to strike a deal with Russia and Iran over Syria would be “the most disastrous thing that could happen” to the Middle East, a Saudi prince and former senior intelligence official has warned.

    Prince Turki bin Faisal Al Saud said the US President-elect should unite with America’s traditional allies in the Middle East – including Saudi Arabia – to counter the threat of Syrian president Bashar al-Assad, during a discussion at the Middle East Institute in Washington DC.

    “If President-elect Donald Trump makes a deal with Russia and Iran over Syria, it’ll be the most disastrous step possible,” Prince Al Saud told a crowd at the conference, according to Kuwait News Agency.

    “Since the Iran nuclear deal, we’ve seen a massive influx of Iranian soldiers to Syria, inflicting death.

    “Mr Trump should pack his bags and get together with America’s friends in the Middle East before his inauguration, and he must help stop the biggest terrorist of all, President Assad.”

    President Assad believes Mr Trump will be a “natural ally“ to “fight the terrorists” in Syria, after the President-elect effectively signalled he would end support for Syrian rebels.

    The former Saudi ambassador to the US also called on Mr Trump to recognise the Iran nuclear deal, formalised in 2015, and not to reverse the legislation.

    “I would rather see that this nuclear deal becomes a first step in ridding the Middle East of nuclear weapons. We want Saudi Arabia to have peace,” he said.

  32. France moves to stop parents naming baby after terrorist (thelocal, Nov 18, 2016)
    http://www.thelocal.fr/20161118/france-moves-to-stop-baby-getting-terrorists-name

    “French authorities have stepped in after parents gave their child the name Mohamed Merah, the same name as the jihadist who killed seven people, including threee Jewish children in 2012.

    The baby was baptized in early November with the name of the man who killed seven people in and around the city of Toulouse in March 2012.

    The self-proclaimed Al-Qaeda inspired jihadist killed three soldiers before shocking the world when he gunned down three Jewish school children and a rabbi.

    “Everyone knows that Mohamed Merah is the name of the person who in 2012 was behind the terrorist acts in Toulouse and Montauban,” Nice prosecutor Jean-Michel Prêtre said on Friday.

    “We consider that this would pose difficulties for the child and bring prejudices against him.”

    It remains unclear if the family intentionally gave the child the same name as the terrorist, who was killed after a lengthy standoff with police after his rampage…”

    • Talk about a classic, “slippery slope” (lubricated with the blood of countless innocents).

      What about just not inviting people into your country who name their children after terrorists?

  33. Turkish asylum requests more than double this year (thelocal, Nov 18, 2016)
    http://www.thelocal.de/20161118/turkish-asylum-requests-in-germany-more-than-double-this-year

    “More than 4,400 Turkish citizens have applied for asylum in Germany this year, the government said Friday, with numbers up since a foiled coup attempt against President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

    Berlin-Ankara relations have been badly strained by concerns over the Erdogan government’s stance on civil rights, especially its sweeping crackdown since the July coup attempt against opposition lawmakers, journalists and other critical voices.

    On Friday, Germany’s Office for Migration and Refugees said that this year it had received 4,437 political asylum requests by the end of October, compared to 1,767 during all of last year from the EU-candidate country.

    Numbers had steadily ticked up from 275 in July to 485 in October, it said, cautioning however that the rise could not be tied directly to the coup attempt, given the long time lags for asylum applications.

    The German conservative lawmaker in charge of interior affairs, Stephan Mayer, nonetheless said “we must presume that the number of Turks who will request political asylum in Germany will rise further”.

    He was critical of the foreign ministry for openly stating recently that Germany was open to granting refuge to Turkish citizens who need it.

    Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier had said last week Berlin wants to “help persecuted scientists, cultural workers, journalists, who can no longer work in Turkey come to Germany to work.”

    But Mayer, a member of the conservative Bavarian CSU party, told the Funke media group: “We don’t solve Turkey’s problems by inviting all citizens who are critical of the regime to request asylum here.”

    “That’s not a favour we should do for President Erdogan. Because that’s exactly what he wants – to get rid of the opposition.”

    Developments in Turkey have a strong resonance in Germany, home to a three-million-strong ethnic Turkish population, the legacy of a massive “guest worker” programme in the 1960s and 70s.

    Turkey declared a state of emergency following the July 15 failed coup, arresting tens of thousands in a crackdown which critics say has gone well beyond the alleged plotters to include anyone daring to criticise Erdogan.

    EU and US officials have expressed concern over the arrests of opposition lawmakers and journalists as fears grow over Turkey’s use of emergency laws.”

  34. What Malmö police are doing to stop killings (thelocal, Nov 18, 2016)
    http://www.thelocal.se/20161118/malm-police-launch-special-op-to-stop-killings

    “Malmö is moving police officers from Sweden’s southern border controls to the streets – in an effort to crack down on a recent wave of fatal incidents in Sweden’s third largest city.

    Sweden introduced police controls on its borders in November last year as a result of the refugee crisis, which saw the country take in more than 160,000 asylum seekers in one year.

    Police officers stationed at the border checks are now being moved to public areas in Malmö for the next two weeks, following an autumn spate of murders and murder attempts.

    “We’re going to stop the killing and act on the criminality which gives rise to these conflicts that lead to serious crimes,” Malmö police spokesperson Lars Förstell told the TT news agency.

    Police work in Malmö is usually focused on trouble spots Rosengård and Seved, but the new operation will see officers having a daily presence across the entire city, reports Sydsvenskan.

    It has not been confirmed how many will be involved in the operation – which gets under way at 3pm on Friday and is also designed to crack down on drug trade in the city – but officers have been moved from the border controls.

    “The border controls will be slightly patchier some hours of the day,” southern regional police spokesperson Ewa-Gun Westford told TT.

    Around 400,000 people a week are estimated to pass through the border checkpoints, which are in place on the Öresund bridge and ports in Malmö, Trelleborg, Helsingborg and Gothenburg, with between 40-95 percent of crossing subject to a check. They were introduced on November 12th a year ago and were extended last week for another three months.”
