As Gaza Crisis Deepens After Hamas Loses Main Sponsors, Look Who’s Trying To Step In
… an escalation of violence.
Hamas in Gaza is in serious trouble and could be becoming Iran’s next proxy army as a result of a crisis in the relations with the Palestinian Authority and the new isolation of Qatar, which has been Hamas’ main sponsor over the past few years.
The crisis in the relations between Hamas and the Palestinian Authority dates back to 2007, when the Islamist terror organization violently took over Gaza, resulting in the split of the PA and three wars with Israel.
In recent years there have been numerous attempts for a reconciliation between the Palestinian rivals and the formation of a unity government. But they all stranded on Hamas’ refusal to cede power in Gaza and the PA’s fear that Hamas would eventually try to take over the Palestinian Authority.

Geoffrey Clarfield: The United Nations is losing staggering sums to corruption, mismanagement and bad decision-making
Let me take you on a short UN safari around the world, beginning and ending in Washington, D.C., to see just how effectively the United Nations spends our tax dollars.
In 2009 in Washington, the UN’s World Health Organization (WHO) announced that the world was threatened by an H1N1 global flu pandemic. It recommended that almost everyone be vaccinated. Then, in 2010, the British Medical Journal (BMJ) published its evaluation of the WHO. It pointed out that the medical scientists who had advised the WHO to declare this pandemic were also paid consultants of the large international pharmaceutical companies, who stood to make hundreds of millions of dollars on this upsurge in the purchase of global vaccines. There was no subsequent UN financial investigation by the WHO to look into the BMJ’s initial findings.

The Emerging Trump Doctrine of Strategic Savvy
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: “America will not lead from behind. America First does not mean America alone. It is a commitment to protecting and advancing our vital interests…” So wrote President Donald Trump’s NSA, General H.R. McMaster, with Gary Cohn, head of the National Economic Council, in the Wall Street Journal. What follows is a discussion of US leaders’ failed strategies in several wars, Trump’s team of generals, and the emerging Trump doctrine, which is here termed “strategic savvy”.

A real IDF Wonder Woman was murdered in Jerusalem on Friday
Hadas Malka, 23, the Border Police officer stabbed to death by a Palestinian assailant in a terror attack outside Jerusalem’s Old City on Friday evening, had sent a final selfie to her friends just minutes before the attack, wishing “Shabbat Shalom to my loving friends.”
Staff Sergeant Malka was a resident of Moshav Givat Ezer in central Israel. She will be laid to rest on Saturday night at midnight in the southern city of Ashdod. She leaves behind parents and five siblings, three sisters and two brothers.

Media, Murder and Israel
On Friday terrorists shot and stabbed Israelis in Jerusalem, and managed to kill 23 year old police officer Hadas Malka before being shot by police. The headlines? “Palestinians killed.” Really?? Donald Trump Jr. and Prime Minister Netanyahu were furious. Everywhere in the world the media focus on the VICTIMS and CALL it TERROR. Why the double standard? Why only in Israel?
Because inferior, lazy people dress their latent jealousy up with invented trespasses and false indignation. I’m so sick of it.
Al Quds Day: Political Expression Of Religious Desire To Murder In The Name Of Allah
• Started by Iran AFTER the Islamic revolution which regressed a secular Iran back to a religious theocracy;
• Marked with reference to the Islamic religious calendar as the last Friday of the “Holy Month” of Ramadan (an overtly religious festival);
• Creation was targeted at all Muslims worldwide (across the great Sunni Shia divide) strictly on account of their following of Islam;
• Invokes the god of Islam directly to grant victory and supremacy for the Muslims over the infidels.
• Provides a uniting religious event which casts the Jews and their only country as the enemy of all Muslims worldwide above their theocratic differences.
Al Quds day is fundamentally religious. Holding what the west would consider to be a political rally, based on this, shows the inextricable link between Islamic theology and the Islamic political desire to conquer and rule the world as commanded by their god and their prophet.
There is no separation of “church and state” with this event. There is no way to separate the relentless violent Jihad against the Jews and Israel from the clear and unequivocal commandments of their god through their prophet.
When this march takes place in London or elsewhere they are using the hard-won political protections of freedom of speech and assembly that grew from the Judaeo-Christian traditions in the West. They are perverting those traditions with a religious call to murder in the name of god. There is no question that the event is entirely grounded in what the west erroneously protects as a religion yet in this event is a religion of blood and war that is utterly inverse to Judaeo-Christian religion. It is also at odds with just about every other eastern religion. They claim a freedom of religion to make everyone unfree.
Until we recognise our western tolerance has been abused we are powerless to resist this invasion. London will fall, just as Constantinople and Jerusalem once fell.
How long will it take the British to recover their capital after it has fallen or will they wake up and understand the threat they’ve allowed in and now nurture in their lands?

“JIHAD WILL CONTINUE UNTIL JUDGMENT DAY” – EGYPTIAN HISTORIAN
Prediction: Sweden, Humanitarian Superpower, will be the first nation in West Europe to convert en masse to Islam.
Banking on nothing but bias
One of Sweden’s largest banks, SEB, recently decided to initiate a boycott against 40 international companies it believes “are in breach of global norms and traditions.”
Three of those companies are Israeli banks, which are being blacklisted by SEB because of the “occupation,” and a fourth is Hewlett Packard Enterprise, which delivers technical equipment used by the Israeli police and military for security procedures at various roadblocks and checkpoints.
SEB has clearly stated that the boycott of the Israeli banks and Hewlett Packard is a statement against the “crimes against international law” perpetrated by Israel and that it is supposed to be an incentive for Israel to withdraw from the West Bank, and through this measure SEB is taking an unusual stand in a major international conflict. It may seem odd and random, but a little bit of digging reveals that there is nothing random about the list at all.
http://www.israelhayom.com/site/newsletter_opinion.php?id=19249
Would part of the conversion process not be to pucker up to the Muslim arse because, as a greedy banker praying to the Bottom Line, the saw your future foreshadowed? Next move is to pretend you don’t charge interest just to fall into line with the tards.

Jesuit Scholar: Seeking to Defend Islam at All Costs Is Betraying the Truth
In an interview with the Register, Egyptian Greek Melkite Jesuit Father Henri Boulad explains why he believes Islamist terrorists are applying what their religion teaches them, and why the Church fails to address this because she has fallen prey to a leftist ideology that is destroying the West.

By the way, I’m crazy about Father Boulad; he’s a treasure.
Speaking of fathers, how long until Father’s Day and Mother’s Day are eliminated in the Post Modern purge of all traditional familial constructs?
That depends on who wins the civil war.
We need more like him.

IS threat in Southeast Asia raises alarm in Washington (abcnews, Jun 19, 2017)
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory/threat-southeast-asia-raises-alarm-washington-48113953
“Southeast Asia’s jihadis who fought by the hundreds for the Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria now have a different battle closer to home in the southern Philippines. It’s a scenario raising significant alarm in Washington.
The recent assault by IS-aligned fighters on the Philippine city of Marawi has left more than 300 people dead, exposing the shortcomings of local security forces and the extremist group’s spreading reach in a region where counterterrorism gains are coming undone.
Defense Secretary Jim Mattis told Congress last week a long-running U.S. military operation to help Philippine forces contain extremist fighters was canceled prematurely three years ago. Small numbers of U.S. special forces remain in an “advise and assist” role, and the U.S. is providing aerial surveillance to help the Philippines retake Marawi, an inland city of more than 200,000 people.
But lawmakers, including from President Donald Trump’s Republican Party, want a bigger U.S. role, short of boots on the ground. They fear the area is becoming a new hub for Islamist fighters from Southeast Asia and beyond.
“I don’t know that ISIS are directing operations there but they are certainly trying to get fighters into that region,” said Republican Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa, using another acronym for the group. “We need to address the situation. It should not get out of control.”
U.S. intelligence and counterterrorism officials note that IS has publicly accepted pledges from various groups in the Philippines. In a June 2016 video, it called on followers in Southeast Asia to go to the Philippines if they cannot reach Syria.
About 40 foreigners, mostly from neighboring Indonesia and Malaysia, have been among 500 involved in fighting in Marawi, the Philippine military says. Reports indicate at least one Saudi, a Chechen and a Yemeni killed. In all, more than 200 militants have died in the standoff, now in its fourth week.
Video obtained by The Associated Press from the Philippine military indicates an alliance of local Muslim fighters, aligned with IS, are coordinating complex attacks. They include the Islamic State’s purported leader in Southeast Asia: Isnilon Hapilon, a Filipino on Washington’s list of most-wanted terrorists, with a $5 million bounty on his head.
U.S. officials are assessing whether any of the estimated 1,000 Southeast Asians who traveled to Iraq and Syria in recent years are fighting in Catholic-majority Philippines. They fear ungoverned areas in the mostly Muslim region around Marawi could make the area a terror hub as in the 1990s.
Then, the Philippines was a base of operations for al-Qaida leaders like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and Ramzi Yousef, who plotted in 1994-95 to blow up airliners over the Pacific. The plot was foiled. But the same men were instrumental in the 9/11 attacks on the United States.
Other nations share the fear. Singapore recently warned of IS exerting a radicalizing influence “well beyond” what that of al-Qaida and Jemaah Islamiyah ever mustered. Jemaah Islamiyah carried out major terror attacks around the region in the 2000s. IS already has been linked to attacks in Indonesia and Malaysia, and foiled plots in Singapore, this past year.
This month, Mattis told the region’s defense chiefs that “together we must act now to prevent this threat from growing.” In Congress this past week, he stressed intelligence sharing and nations like Singapore sharing the burden, rather than deploying U.S. troops.
More than 500 U.S. special forces were based in the Mindanao region from 2002 to 2014, advising and training Filipino forces against the Abu Sayyaf, a group notorious for bombings and kidnappings. When it ended, Philippine and U.S. officials voiced concern the U.S. withdrawal “could lead to a resurgence of a renewed terrorist threat,” the RAND Corp. later reported. Months before the withdrawal, Abu Sayyaf pledged support to IS.
Supporting the Philippines isn’t straightforward in Washington. President Rodrigo Duterte is accused of overlooking and even condoning indiscriminate killings by his forces in a war on drugs. Thousands have died. But that campaign has involved mainly police and anti-narcotic forces, not the military leading the anti-IS fight.
Still, the Philippine government is partly to blame for Marawi’s violence, said Zachary Abuza, a Southeast Asia expert at the National War College. He said the root cause was the government’s failure to fulfill a 2014 peace agreement with the nation’s largest Muslim insurgency, which fueled recruitment for IS-inspired groups.
Ernst, who chairs a Senate panel on emerging threats, wants the U.S. military to restart a higher-profile, “named operation” helping the Philippines counter IS. The Pentagon retains between 50 and 100 special forces in the region. At the request of the Philippine military, it has deployed a P3 Orion plane to surveil Marawi. It gave more than 600 assault firearms to Filipino counterterrorism forces last week.
Duterte has retreated from threats to expel U.S. forces from the Philippines as he seeks better ties with China. He said recently he hadn’t sought more U.S. help, but was thankful for what he was getting.
“They’re there to save lives,” Duterte said.”
…Philippine government is partly to blame for Marawi’s violence, said Zachary Abuza, a Southeast Asia expert at the National War College. He said the root cause…
WRONG, Señor Tardo-Abuza, “Southeast Asia expert at the National War College”. The “root cause” is, the same as always in the Philippines ISLAM.
We need experts like Señor Tardo like Iran needs nukes.
Tardo? You’re kidding right?
Remember her Spanish ancestry.
“Then, the Philippines was a base of operations for al-Qaida leaders like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and Ramzi Yousef, who plotted in 1994-95 to blow up airliners over the Pacific. The plot was foiled. But the same men were instrumental in the 9/11 attacks on the United States.”
According to legend, an operative in the airliner plot was captured but could not be persuaded (even under duress) to reveal any details.
His Philippine captors then “accidentally” mentioned within his range of hearing how they were bringing in an Israeli interrogator to extract the information.
As if by magic, the operative suddenly provided all involved with a startlingly good impersonation of a canary in rutting season.
Far more disturbing are the staggering number of “coincidences” surrounding the simultaneous presence of both WTC attacker, Ramzi Yousef, and Oklahoma City bomber, Terry Nichols in the Philippines. See:
Did Nichols and Yousef meet?
From: Vindication on the Ramzi Yousef-Terry Nichols connection
• A tour guide named Daisy Gelaspie, had told police that on trip to the Philippines in 1990, Nichols asked if she knew anyone who could build bombs.
• On that trip, Nichols met Marife Torres, a “mail order bride,” from the southern Philippines town of Cebu City. They were married that same year.
• Nichols made additional trips to the Philippines during the early 90’s and was even in Cebu at the same time as Ramzi Yousef in December, 1994.??• Within days of Yousef’s Manila bomb factory being raided by police, on January 6th, 1995, Nichols beat a hasty retreat from the Philippines.
• A source had told a U.S. consulate representative that Marife’s father, a former police officer, discovered a book on explosives in Nichols belongings after his exit.
• Ramzi Yousef, the Wales educated engineer responsible for both attacks on the World Trade Center, had begun training members of the Abu Sayyaf, the al Qaeda splinter group in the early 90?s near the Southern Philippines town of Davao City.
• In a sworn deposition, Edwin Angeles, a top Abu Sayyaf turncoat, stated that in the early 90?s in Davao City, he’d been in a room with Nichols (aka “The Farmer”) along with Yousef, Abdul Hakim Murad and Wali Khan Amin Shah; an Uzbeki beloved of Osama bin Laden whom the Saudi billionaire called “the lion.” During the meeting Angeles swore that they’d discussed bomb making and handling.
• Prior to the OKC bombing in the fall of 1994 Tim McVeigh’s only attempt to explode an amonium-nitrate/nitromethane IED (improvised explosive device) failed. This according to key Government witness Michael Fortier. But after Nichols and Yousef were in the Philippines at the same time in Cebu City, McVeigh and Nichols took down the Federal building
• On the day of the OK City blast Murad, Yousef’s oldest friend, a pilot trained in four U.S. flight schools, took credit for the blast while in a cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center (M.C.C.) the federal jail in lower Manhattan. The FBI even memorialized his confession in a #302 memo.
Read both articles. At some point the “coincidences” pile on so thick that it defies all skepticism.
Bomb planted in road kills 6 soldiers in southern Thailand (abcnews, Jun 19, 2017)
http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/bomb-planted-road-kills-soldiers-southern-thailand-48127878
“A bomb planted in a dirt road has killed six soldiers in southern Thailand, in what apparently was an attack by Muslim separatists in an insurgency that has cost more than 6,500 lives since 2004.
Police Maj. Pompetch Chotiklang said the explosion Monday in Pattani province also wounded four other soldiers and blew the truck they were traveling in into pieces, with parts of it landing 100 meters (yards) away.
The separatists are mostly active in Thailand’s three southernmost provinces of Pattani, Narathiwat and Yala, the only ones with Muslim majorities in the Buddhist-dominated country.
Police say there is usually an upsurge in attacks during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which this year began on May 26 and ends on June 24.”
Look! It is just the Ramadan bombing upsurge! Nothing too serious! Nothing really to worry about! lol
Iran warns missile attack on IS in Syria can be repeated (abcnews, Jun 19, 2017)
http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/iran-warns-missile-attack-syria-repeated-48126077
“After firing missiles targeting the Islamic State group in eastern Syria, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard on Monday issued a stark warning to IS militants, saying that any future attack against Iran will result in more powerful launches.
The Guard said it launched the strikes on Sunday in retaliation for attacks in Tehran earlier this month that were claimed by the Islamic State group. Iran has been involved in Syria’s long-running civil war, in which it has backed embattled Syrian President Bashar Assad.?
Iranian state television quoted Gen. Ramazan Sharif on Monday as saying that “if they (IS) carry out a specific action to violate our security, definitely there will be more launches, with intensified strength.”
He spoke as part of a TV package about the missile launches, showing them shoot off into the night from the western province of Kermanshah. The Guard said it fired six missiles in total from Kermanshah and also from Iran’s Kurdistan province into Syria’s Deir el-Zour province, where IS has been trying to fortify its positions in the face of a U.S.-led coalition onslaught.
But the missiles sent a message to more than just the extremists in Iraq and Syria, Sharif told state television in a telephone interview.
“The Saudis and Americans are especially receivers of this message.” Said Sharif. “Obviously and clearly, some reactionary countries of the region, especially Saudi Arabia, had announced that they are trying to bring insecurity into Iran.”
Activists in Syria said they had no immediate information on damage or casualties from the strikes.
Deir el-Zour is home to both Islamic State militants and civilians. The extremists increasingly have fled to Deir el-Zour as the Islamic State group’s de facto capital of Raqqa has come under punishing U.S.-led airstrikes…”
Iran: ‘Tehran is not London and Paris’ – IRGC general on Iran’s strike in Syria
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) launched a missile strike against militant positions in the Syrian province of Deir ez-Zor, from Iran on Sunday evening, with the footage broadcast on state television.
Iran launched the attack in retaliation for recent twin attacks on the Iranian parliament and Ayatollah Khomeini’s mausoleum that killed 18 people.
IRGC general and Commander of the IRGC Aerospace Forces, Amirali Hajizadeh, said that “our enemy should know that Tehran is not London and Paris” and “if they continue their wickedness it will have an expensive result.”
On Sunday, the IRGC announced that they had launched missile strikes targeting “terrorists” in the Deir ez-Zor province.
SOT, General Amirali Hajizadeh, Commander of the Aerospace Division of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (Farsi): “Launching missiles from a distance of 600-700 kilometres and landing them on a small building: this is a message which means that they should know where the power of Iranians is.”
Iran: ‘We felt proud’ – Tehran residents respond to Iran’s strike on militant positions in Syria
Residents of Tehran responded to Iran’s reported launch of a missile attack against militant positions in the Syrian province of Deir ez-Zor, in the Iranian capital on Monday morning. Iran launched the attack, Sunday, in retaliation for recent twin attacks on the Iranian parliament and Ayatollah Khomeini’s mausoleum that killed 18 people.
SOT, Alireza Mihandoust, Tehran citizen (Farsi): “I actually see this as our right to give terrorists a slap and conduct an anti-terrorist operation in Iran with all audacity and we should change our position that buries our heads in the sand. Besides, Iran is full of fire and if we have no action it will encourage our enemies to think incorrectly.”
SOT, Naser Nasr, master’s student at Tehran University (Farsi): “I think even those people in this field who disagreed with some government policies were actually careful; even these people last night felt proud and we were in our dormitories last night when we heard the news. We became very happy and to be honest, we felt proud that we don’t accept abjection and gave accursed terrorists a strong response.”
SOT, Ahmadreza Farajzadeh, Tehran citizen (Farsi): “At that time when they killed from 17 to 18 people here, what response did they expect except this? Telling them thank you for what they have done? We should have given them a response.”
SOT, Amir Ghanayian,Tehran citizen (Farsi): “This response was good. When I heard this last night I became happy. It was a strong response for ISIS and their supporters like [Saudi] Arabia and Israel to let them know that they can’t do anything against that.”
Saudi says captures three Iranian Revolutionary Guards from boat
The Saudi navy has captured three members of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) from a boat seized last week as it approached the kingdom’s offshore Marjan oilfield, the Saudi information ministry said on Monday.
Relations between the two countries are at their worst in years, with each accusing the other of subverting regional security and support opposite sides in conflicts in Syria, Yemen and Iraq.
“This was one of three vessels which were intercepted by Saudi forces. It was captured with the three men on board, the other two escaped,” a statement from the ministry’s center for international communications said.
“The three captured members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard are now being questioned by Saudi authorities,” it said, citing a Saudi official.
The vessel, seized last Friday, was carrying explosives and intended to conduct a “terrorist act” in Saudi territorial waters, it said.
An earlier report from the Saudi Press Agency said the Saudi navy had fired warning shots at the two boats that managed to escape.
Iran’s Tasnim news agency said on Saturday that Saudi border guards had opened fire on an Iranian fishing boat in the Gulf on Friday, killing a fisherman. It said the boat was one of two Iranian boats fishing in the Gulf that had been pushed off course by waves.
Tensions between Iran and Saudi Arabia have steadily deteriorated. On June 5, Riyadh and other Arab governments severed ties with Qatar, citing its support of Iran as a reason.
Days later, suicide bombings and shootings in Tehran killed at least 17 people. Shi’ite Muslim Iran repeated accusations that Saudi Arabia funds Sunni Islamist militants, including Islamic State. Riyadh has denied involvement in the attacks.

Iran denies Saudi claim of Revolutionary Guards’ arrest
Riyadh says Revolutionary Guard members, aboard “explosive-laden” boat, were apprehended near oil platform in the Gulf.
Iran has denied claims by Saudi Arabia that three of its elite Revolutionary Guard members had been arrested aboard an explosives-laden boat near an oil platform in the Gulf.
Majid Aghababaie, head of border affairs at Iran’s interior ministry, said the three people detained were fishermen from the southern Iranian port of Bushehr.
“There is no proof that they are military personnel,” he said, in remarks carried by the ILNA news agency.
Earlier on Monday, Saudi Arabia’s information and culture ministry said the three people “are now being questioned by Saudi authorities”.
“It is clear this was intended to be a terrorist act in Saudi territorial waters designed to cause severe damage to people and property,” the ministry said.
The latest incident comes at a time of already-heightened tensions between the two rival regional powers.
On Sunday, Saudi Arabia said it had seized weapons from a boat captured in the Gulf’s Marjan field at about 8:30pm on Friday.
It said the navy fired warning shots when three small boats entered Saudi territorial waters and headed at high speed towards the platforms.
That statement made no mention of explosives and did not detail what type of weapons were found, though it said they were for “subversive purposes”.
It also made no mention of arrests but said the boats bore “red and white flags”.
Two of the boats got away, the statement said.
On Saturday, Iran accused the Saudi coastguard of killing one of its fishermen after two fishing boats may have strayed into Saudi waters.
Some officials of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard have also claimed that Saudi Arabia had a hand in attacks in Tehran earlier in June.

Latest Algeria anti-terror operation kills 3 armed men (memo, Jun 19, 2017)
https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20170619-latest-algeria-anti-terror-operation-kills-3-armed-men/
“Three armed men, believed to be Islamists, were killed and several others were arrested in Algeria yesterday as the government cracked down further on terror-related activity. The joint operation by the army and security forces took place in the eastern cities of Constantine and Skikda.
A statement from the defence ministry confirmed that “three terrorists were eliminated and three others were captured along with eight people who were supporting criminal groups.” One terrorist surrendered, the ministry added, and weapons, ammunition and money were confiscated during the raid.
Since the start of the year, more than 40 armed Islamists have been killed in counterterrorism operations in Algeria’s mountainous north-east, according to official figures. Although the country has had active Islamist groups operating in the country since the 1990s, the crisis in Libya and transitional period in Tunisia have caused an increase of terror threats. There are fears that fighters linked to Daesh and similar extremist organisations may be travelling to Algeria to regroup and recruit members…”
Italy arrests asylum seeker for inciting terrorism (reuters, Jun 19, 2017)
http://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-italy-security-idUKKBN19A0YL
“Italy on Monday arrested a 29-year-old Iraqi asylum seeker for supplying news and materials in support of Islamic State and who said those who do not believe in Islam “should have their throats cut”, police said.
A southern Italian court ordered the man’s arrest for conspiracy to commit international terrorism and inciting others to break the law, they said in a statement.
The man sought to convince other asylum seekers living in a state-funded shelter in the southern city of Crotone to “perpetrate acts of violence with terrorist objectives”, the police said.
“The Iraqi – considered violent and inclined toward criminal activity – had celebrated after the recent terrorist attack in Manchester,” they said, referring to a suicide bombing last month at a pop concert in the northern English city that killed 22 people.
In a recorded telephone conversation between the arrested man and his sister, he said he had been called to join the “holy war” in his country, but had decided instead to stay in Italy to “redeem the infidels” who “should have their throats cut”…”
Russia vows to shoot down all ‘flying objects’ in Syria after US guns down first regime warplane
Communication channel between Washington and Moscow to be suspended immediately
Russia has threatened to shoot down US warplanes operating in parts of Syria where its air forces operate amid a diplomatic row caused by the downing of a Syrian jet.
The country’s defence ministry said it would also suspend a hotline between Russia and the US set up to prevent mid-air collisions.
The statement followed after a US F-18 Super Hornet shot down a Syrian army SU-22 jet on Sunday in the countryside near Raqqa.

BBC -Syria conflict: Russia issues warning after US coalition downs jet
Russia has warned the US-led coalition fighting in Syria that it will view its aircraft as targets, after a Syrian military plane was shot down.
The coalition said it had shot down the Syrian Su-22 after it bombed US-backed fighters in Raqqa province on Sunday.
Russia, Syria’s main ally, said it was also halting communications with the US aimed at preventing air incidents.
Syria condemned America’s “flagrant attack”, saying it would have “dangerous repercussions”.
The incident comes at a time when the US-led coalition and the fighters its supporting on the ground are battling to oust so-called Islamic State (IS) from its Syrian stronghold of Raqqa.
How has Russia responded?
“Any aircraft, including planes and drones belonging to the international coalition operating west of the Euphrates river, will be tracked by Russian anti-aircraft forces in the sky and on the ground and treated as targets,” the Russian defence ministry said.
It denied the US had used a communications channel before the Su-22 fighter bomber was downed.
The memorandum of co-operation with the coalition aimed at preventing air incidents and guaranteeing flight safety was ending as of Monday, the defence ministry added.[…]

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov called on the US and other forces on the ground in Syria to respect the sovereignty of the country and coordinate their military efforts with the government of President Bashar al-Assad, while speaking at the BRICS foreign ministers meeting in Beijing on Monday.
I don’t think they are really going to start shooting at our planes but they are trying to see how far they can push President Trump when he is busy fighting the Deep State.
Piers Morgan FURY at Ramadhan Foundation Chief as he’s accused of ‘inflammatory language’ (express, Jun 19, 2017)
http://www.express.co.uk/showbiz/tv-radio/818692/GMB-s-Piers-Morgan-SHUTS-DOWN-guest-after-being-slammed-for-inflammatory-reports
“PIERS MORGAN slammed the head of the Ramadhan Foundation for accusing him of “inflammatory language” on Good Morning Britain today.
Chief executive of the organisation, Mohammed Shafiq, appeared alongside MP Andrew Gwynne in Manchester to talk to the ITV show’s presenters, which also included Susanna Reid.
When the 38-year-old Muslim suggested that he needed to “reflect” on his language however, presenter Piers Morgan angrily interrupted.
Shafiq said: “Well there are a number of media commentators, and with respect Piers for example, he’s got to really look at his language. What we saw in the aftermath of the London attack, you just need to reflect on your language.
“I’m not saying that no one shouldn’t have been saying what they’ve been saying, let’s just be calmer, let’s look for language that brings people together,” he added.
Instantly taking offence to the comments however, Morgan cut in and defended himself against the perceived accusation.
“Hang on, hang on, let me stop you there, before you accuse me of using inflammatory language. This morning I have used exactly the same language at exactly the same time as the other terrorist attacks.”
An argument ensued, as the guest then accused the 52-year-old of not letting him speak, saying he would “explain if I could manage to finish a sentence without you interrupting”.
But Shafiq failed to quell Morgan’s anger, instead likening him to controversial columnist and journalist Katie Hopkins. “Look at your colleagues at the Daily Mail for example, Katie Hopkins,” Shafiq said.
Even more riled up by the interviewee, Piers told him he shouldn’t say things he couldn’t back up, but he responded with: “Read back on your articles, just read back on your articles.”…”
He is not being a good dhimmi, if he doesn’t watch out he will be out of work like Katie.
More good dhimmis, this time in Australia. The feminist (!!!) anti-Israel Greens such up to pro-sharia cleric

Russia ‘vows to shoot down all flying objects’ west of the River Euphrates in Syria after US Navy downs regime bomber (dailymail, Jun 19, 2017)
http://dailym.ai/2si3DGX
“Russia as warned US and coalition forces it will shoot down any aircraft or drones encroaching on its area of operations in western Syria.
The Russian ministry of defense said it is now treating any coalition aircraft flying west of the Euphrates as targets following the downing of a Syrian jet.
Russia said it was suspending co-ordination with the US involving ‘de-confliction zones’ after a US Navy F/A-18E Super Hornet shot down a Syrian Air Force SU-22.
Russia has been providing air cover for Bashar Al-Assad’s troops since 2015 and have deployed its advance S-400 Growler air defence system in the Latakia Airbase on the Syrian coast.
The Growler has a range of 250 miles and can hit targets up to an altitude of 90,000 feet.
The Russian defence ministry said in a statement that it was suspending the deal after the US military confirmed that it downed a Syrian air force fighter jet on Sunday after it dropped bombs near US partner forces.
The ministry said it views the incident as Washington’s ‘deliberate failure to make good on its commitments’ under the de-confliction deal.
The Pentagon admitted it shot down the Syrian jet after it ignored a show of force and a warning against attacking US-supported ground troops near Ja’Din, south of Tabqa on Sunday afternoon.
Russia’s deputy foreign minister Sergei Ryabkov on Monday condemned the US for the strike, describing it as an act of aggression.
‘This strike has to be seen as a continuation of America’s line to disregard the norms of international law,’ Ryabkov told journalists in Moscow, according to the TASS state news agency. ‘What is this if not an act of aggression?’
Pro-Assad forces attacked the SDF at around 4:30 pm, local time, injuring several soldiers and forcing them to leave Ja’Din, the Pentagon says.
The attack prompted the SDF to call the Russian army to stop firing and ‘de-escalate’ the shooting.”
Rich Venezuelans eat sushi, guzzle cocktails amid chaos
WHILE most Venezuelans struggle to buy food and make ends meet, a small group still manages to eat sushi and sip cocktails in exclusive discos and country clubs.
The country may be stricken by poverty and political violence, but a rich minority acts like they are untouched by the crisis.
Case in point: Caracas, one of the world’s most violent cities, is the first in South America to open a branch of the trendy Buddha Bar international nightclub chain.
In a country where basics such as flour and sugar are in short supply, Buddha Bar guests can order tuna steak, pork ribs or fish tacos – as long as they have dollars to pay.
“You can have as good a time here in Caracas as in New York, Dubai or Saint Petersburg,” says one of its owners, Cristhian Estephan.
Eight pieces of salmon and shrimp sushi here cost 55,700 bolivars (RM23,851), or the equivalent of more than a quarter of the country’s official monthly minimum wage.

The strange case of the USS Fitzgerald collision
By J.E. Dyer June 19, 2017
It will help to take a deep breath here, and remember that we have no reason to doubt that we’ll know the truth about this eventually.
Looking at what we can discern about the incident so far, it’s hard to accept that it occurred merely due to something like a system failure or substandard seamanship.
But it’s important not to leap to conclusions. Let’s just look at the information that’s out there. A naval inquiry will produce its results in due time.
As Thomas Lifson (and three quarters of my online acquaintance) have noted, the outlines of the Fitzgerald (DDG-62) story in the media are, well, odd. That occurred to me immediately, when I first heard that Fitzgerald had collided with a container ship just outside Tokyo Bay. How the heck do you collide with a container ship? They’re huge. You can’t miss them. You’ll see them on radar, as well as visually, in plenty of time to warn them if they’re behaving stupidly, and avoid them if they won’t stop.
They rarely, if ever, behave stupidly, of course. I then saw the extensive damage to Fitzgerald, starboard side amidships, and said to myself, “That container ship rammed Fitzgerald, bow on. That’s the only way to get that level of damage.”

BREAKING: U.S. shoots down Syrian regime fighter in ‘show of force’
By LU Staff June 18, 2017
[Besides the fact that an air-to-air shootdown is a big deal in itself, this development is at least as big as the launch of Iranian missiles into eastern Syria on Saturday. As previously predicted, if all the outside sponsors continue to shoot in the direction of the threat, we’re going to end up shooting at each other. That hour is now perilously close. The U.S has been careful to avoid shooting at Syrian regime forces up to now, but the fight for eastern Syria is forcing the choice to either target regime assets, or back off from support of our own coalition fighters on the ground. Iran won’t take this well. Things are heating up fast. – J.E.]
A U.S. fighter jet shot down a Syrian regime aircraft after it attacked U.S.-backed forces in Syria on Sunday, according to the U.S.-led Operation Inherent Resolve coalition.
An F/A-18E Super Hornet shot down the Syrian SU-22 in what the coalition said was a “show of force” after the Syrian fighter dropped several bombs near Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) fighters south of Taqbah. The coalition acted “in accordance with rules of engagement and in collective self-defense of Coalition partnered forces,” according to the task force’s statement. The engagement represents the first time a U.S. aircraft has shot down an aircraft belonging to the Bashar al-Assad regime.
“The Coalition’s mission is to defeat ISIS in Iraq and Syria. The Coalition does not seek to fight Syrian regime, Russian, or pro-regime forces partnered with them, but will not hesitate to defend Coalition or partner forces from any threat,” said the coalition statement. “The Coalition presence in Syria addresses the imminent threat ISIS in Syria poses globally. The demonstrated hostile intent and actions of pro-regime forces toward Coalition and partner forces in Syria conducting legitimate counter-ISIS operations will not be tolerated.”

Paris Champs-Élysées crash: Kalashnikov, handguns, gas bottle found in car
PARIS: A 31-year-old man on a jihadist watchlist rammed a car loaded with guns and a gas bottle into a police van on the Champs-Elysees on Monday (Jun 19) but inflicted no casualties, in the latest of a string of attacks in Paris, sources said.
The assailant died in the incident, although investigators offered no immediate details about the cause of his death. There was no early claim of responsibility for the assault.
The attack – which occurred just a short distance from where a militant shot dead a police officer, two months earlier – was carried out by an individual who had been on France’s security watchlist since 2015 for membership of “the radical Islamist movement,” sources close to the probe said.
They identified him as Djaziri Adam Lotfi, who had been raised in the hardline Salafi Islamic ideology, and did not have a criminal record.
Police sources told AFP that they found a Kalashnikov assault rifle, two handguns as well as a gas bottle on the car.

Some European Countries Take Firmer Stance Against Anti-Israel NGOs
A glimmer of hope in the darkness.
June 19, 2017
Joseph Puder
The recent terrorist attacks in Europe by Muslim jihadists using car (truck) ramming’s and knifings to kill innocent civilian bystanders may have jolted some European governments to recognize that Israel is indeed “the canary in the coal mine.” The car ramming’s and knifings first occurred in Israel with Palestinian jihadists using this method to kill Israelis. It has been emulated by Jihadists in France, Germany, and Britain. It was however, the regime of Mahmoud Abbas in Ramallah and Hamas in Gaza who have used their mosques, media, and educational systems to spread incitement and hate of non-Muslims, particularly Israelis and Jews, in what amounts to blatant anti-Semitism.
Some European governments have finally awakened to the reality that their charities, particularly those funding Palestinian NGO’s, are in essence supporting incitement to hate and anti-Semitism. The Swiss parliament decided to change the country’s policy with regards to funding Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO’s) that are involved in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The new policy would bar funding of organizations that participate in incitement and spreading of hate propaganda, racism and anti-Semitism. The measure was introduced by Christian Imark, a National Council deputy from the conservative Swiss People’s Party. It passed 111 – 78.
The Swiss Council of States or Upper House of Parliament passed the resolution with modest modifications of the bill introduced by MP Christian Imark, which was previously approved in the Lower House of Parliament three months ago. The passing of the bill will result in ending official Swiss funding of NGO’s that participate in incitement against Israel, and use anti-Semitic language

Is Bob Mueller the Establishment’s Stalking Horse?
The threats to our constitutional posed by the special counsel investigation.
June 19, 2017
Bruce Thornton
The appointment of Robert Mueller, James Comey’s BFF, as special counsel stinks to high heaven. Forget the bipartisan encomia to Mueller’s “ethics” and “professionalism” and “integrity” and all the other usual question-begging praise the elite shower on each other to justify their power and privilege. Such mutual admiration and reciprocal puffery is just one of the ways that DC is “Hollywood for ugly people,” given that both industries are in the business of selling sows’ ears as silk purses. We heard all the same praise about Comey, who has been exposed as self-righteous, conniving, and cowardly, his ethics trimmed to his careerism. He proves that all political appointees and “public servants” should be judged guilty until proven innocent.
And right now Mueller demands particular scrutiny and suspicion. Why should we ordinary citizens, who don’t know him from Adam, believe that he can set aside his friendship with Comey and be fair and objective? Especially after Comey confessed he leaked his memo about Trump’s comments because he “thought that might prompt the appointment of a special counsel,” and he is likely to be a witness? And mirabile visu, that special counsel just happens to be his close friend? And a Democrat, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, just happens to be the one making the appointment of a man under whom he served from 1990-93? And what about new information that Mueller was interviewed by Trump to replace Comey? Was the topic of why Comey was fired part of the interview, which could make him a witness in his own investigation?

zero hedge – Hillary Clinton Told FBI’s Mueller To Deliver Uranium To Russians In 2009 “Secret Plane-Side Tarmac Meeting”
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton facilitated the transfer a highly enriched uranium (HEU) previously confiscated by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) during a 2006 “nuclear smuggling sting operation involving one Russian national and several Georgian accomplices,” a newly leaked classified cable shows.
So-called “background” information was provided in the cable which gave vague details on a 2006 nuclear smuggling sting operation in which the U.S. government took possession of some HEU previously owned by the Russians.
“Over two years ago Russia requested a ten-gram sample of highly enriched uranium (HEU) seized in early 2006 in Georgia during a nuclear smuggling sting operation involving one Russian national and several Georgian accomplices. The seized HEU was transferred to U.S. custody and is being held at a secure DOE facility.”
The secret “action request,” dated Aug. 17, 2009, was sent out by Secretary of State Clinton and was addressed to the United States Ambassador to Georgia Embassy Tbilisi, the Russian Embassy, and Ambassador John Beyrle.
It proposed that FBI Director Robert Mueller be the one that personally conduct the transfer a 10-gram sample of HEU to Russian law enforcement sources during a secret “plane-side” meeting on a “tarmac” in the early fall of 2009.
“We require that the transfer of this material be conducted at the airport, on the tarmac near by the plane, upon arrival of the Director’s aircraft.”
The FBI Director was originally scheduled to ‘return’ a sample from the DOE stockpile to the Russians in April but the trip was postponed until September 21.
Paragraph number 6 of the leaked cable confirms Dir. Mueller’s Sept. 21 flight to Moscow.
“(S/Rel Russia) Action request: Embassy Moscow is requested to alert at the highest appropriate level the Russian Federation that FBI Director Mueller plans to deliver the HEU sample once he arrives to Moscow on September 21. Post is requested to convey information in paragraph 5 with regard to chain of custody, and to request details on Russian Federation’s plan for picking up the material. Embassy is also requested to reconfirm the April 16 understanding from the FSB verbally that we will have no problem with the Russian Ministry of Aviation concerning Mueller’s September 21 flight clearance.”
But possibly even more shocking is the fact that the State Department wanted the transfer of the HEU to take place on an “airport tarmac” which is rather reminiscent of the infamous Loretta Lynch/Bill Clinton meeting which occurred on a Phoenix, Arizona, tarmac back in June of 2016.
Past dealings with the Russians were also mentioned in the cable, signifying that previous deals have taken place.

Bernie Sanders: Greedy Lying Socialist 1 Percenter
Bernie is fighting for the little guy. Himself.
June 19, 2017
Daniel Greenfield
When Bernie Sanders first came to Vermont, he bought a shack with a dirt floor with unemployment money. Last year, Bernie joined the company of Vermont’s 1% and bought his third home.
The money that Bernie used his way to break the $1 million mark and buy his way into the 1% came from the $27 donors he touted during his campaign. Other campaigns were funded by billionaires. But the folks paying for Bernie’s private Delta 767 with its menu of herb crusted lamb loin, chocolate ganache, fine cheeses and white wine were ordinary people who would never be allowed to fly on it.
Bernie could live large on their donations, but he couldn’t directly pocket their money. Not unless he figured out how to sell them something of his own. And that’s how Bernie joined the 1%.
Our Revolution, Bernie’s book, which was also the name of his new organization, sold for $27. According to Bernie, that was the average size of his donations. The actual number was $86, but truth and Bernie have always had only the loosest of relationships. And Bernie supporters were no longer giving $27 to subsidize a campaign, a cause, Bernie’s jet and his consultants, but his wallet and his summer home.
Bernie sold his supporters for $27 a head to a multinational corporation in exchange for $795,000. His book is named after Our Revolution, a 501(c)(4) “social welfare” organization that he set up to influence elections and which can accept unlimited amounts of money from donors without disclosing them.

Two Alleged Hezbollah Jihadists Arrested In U.S.
Immigration (naturalization) was the key to their terrorist activities.
June 19, 2017
Michael Cutler
On June 8, 2017 the Department of Justice issued a press release, Two Men Arrested for Terrorist Activities on Behalf of Hizballah’s Islamic Jihad Organization.
As you will see, terrorists understand that naturalization enables them to act as “Sleepers” and hide in plain sight in the United States and facilitate their movement around the world where they threaten our allies and other countries.
While it is reassuring that these two terror suspects have been taken into custody, charged with an extensive list of terror-related crimes, the criminal complaints, filed in conjunction with this case note the extremely disturbing fact that these defendants as well as others, both known and unknown, committed overt acts in support of Hezbollah that are enumerated in the complaints concerning Samer el Debek, a/k/a Samer Eldebek and Ali Mohamad Kourani, a/k/a Jacob Lewis, a/k/a Daniel
In other words, while these two are out of action, others are still “out there” and may not all be known to law enforcement. That chilling prospect is certainly not conducive to getting a good night’s sleep.
http://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/266987/two-alleged-hezbollah-jihadists-arrested-us-michael-cutler
Pay close attention to this one, there are (according to the Iranians) 10,000 Hezbollah commandos in the US. While I don’t doubt there are a lot of Iranian trained jihadists in the US I doubt the number is 10,000. That number is either way too high or way too low, the latter is probably close to the truth. They are waiting for word from Iran to attack and Iran will probably give the word when the civil war really explodes.

=> Dar’a, al-Tanf That corner of what used-to-be Syria is key.
From Breitbart, June 5:
“The United States military is increasing its ‘combat power’ in southern Syria around the American military training camp in al-Tanf, a Syrian town on the border with Iraq, on the Syrian side of Iraq’s al-Waleed border crossing. The military buildup is in response to the approach of Iran-backed Shia forces from Iraq and the Syrian regime. Some unconfirmed reports indicate that the Shia forces are backed by Russian paratroopers.”

…..
=> This is where we face off against Iran. The U.S., Jordan, our Gulf allies, and Israel.
ISIS is collapsing. It has served as a buffer against Iran’s objective: control over a contiguous territory from its borders to the Mediterranean Sea and Israel. This is the moment of truth for the U.S. – we stop Iran and her various proxies here.
President Trump could not have made it more clear that the era of 0 and Valerie Jarret is OVER. That explains the kabuki with sword-dancing in Saudi Arabia. No more patty-cake with the “moderate” ayatollahs. Whether our senior military are sufficiently agile to steer this thing clear is an open question.
If -and ONLY if- we’re sloppy, Russia will have to make gestures in support of Iran. There’s no appetite for that, but accidents happen, flags are switched. I’m not convinced we have the most competent military leadership, but that’s what’s in place.
[Spyer] “It is worth… noting that the outcome in eastern Syria is not of primary interest to the Russians. Russia wants to preserve the regime in existence and to keep its naval investments in Latakia Province. Neither of these interests is threatened by events further east. Controlling the east is an Iranian and Assad regime goal only.” [my emphasis]
……..
From the Begin-Sadat Center, June 1:
“The two recent US air strikes on a Syrian convoy heading to the al-Tanf military base in the southern Syrian Desert a few miles from the Jordanian-Syrian border have major strategic importance. The attack signaled for the first time since the Syrian civil war broke out in 2011 that the US would not countenance the reemergence of the Iranian-controlled Shiite crescent that Iran had created through Teheran, Baghdad, Damascus, and Beirut after the US exited Iraq in 2010.”

…..
Spyer: Why Eastern Syria is Essential to Containing Iran
“Alongside the military jockeying on the ground, the diplomatic processes in Astana and Geneva will sputter on. Their eventual outcome, though, will depend on the balance of forces on the ground. Iran wants its contiguous line not least in order to move weaponry and fighters both in preparation for and no less importantly in the course of a future war with Israel. Preventing this is an Israeli national security interest par excellence.
This emergent US strategy has not yet been officially confirmed. Indeed, Defense Secretary James Mattis was quoted by Agence France Presse after the al-Tanf strike as denying that the raid heralded any “increased role” for the US in the Syrian war.
The pattern on the ground suggests otherwise. The US administration has defined the Iranians and the Sunni jihadis of IS as its main adversaries in the region. Eastern Syria is an area where the defeat of the latter by pro-Western forces will constitute also a setback also for the former. This is a game which is now afoot. Much depends on its outcome.”

This morning on FOX one analysts talked about the air base and how Russia was wanting to maintain this base to project power in the Middle East but he ignored the Naval Base that allows Russia to project power around the entire Mediterranean. This base is of much more value to Russia then the air base,
He is right I hadn’t thought about it but Russia really doesn’t care much about Eastern Syria and would probably prefer that Iran doesn’t control that region although they probably don’t want Iran to get any proof of that fact. Putin is playing a very dangerous version of the Game of Thrones in the Middle east, he is playing Shiite against Sunni to keep terrorism out of Russia while at the same time trying to keep Iran from gaining too much power. Putin wants to be the power broker in that region until he can figure some way to seize most of it for the New Russian Empire tht he is trying to forge. In this game he has the advantage because few of our leaders think in terms like Empire anymore, they want spheres of influence where they can buy raw materials and sell finished products but the idea of colonizing other regions is no longer fashionable in the West. While we no longer think in terms of Empires China is seeking to expand its Empire and I understand that the Africans in the regions they are expanding into are wishing that they were still part of an European Colonial Empire to protect them from China.
Iran is playing both Sunni and Shitte. They support the MB! They’re out to destabilize the region, and they’re not fussy. Like the Communists.
Just pure _e v i l_.
I actually listened to that junk! (Averted my eyes, though.)
Picking up bits of the lingo. I get the geographic coordinates, but obvious disinfo is spliced and diced everywhere.
Pronouns, city names, specific enemies cursed. Most of what they say -from the little I glean – is threat and curse. And aloha-snackbar mumbo-jumbo, of course.
Now they’re “climate refugees”. Is there no excuse that is so transparent, so flimsy, to where these Socialist termites will not use it as a pretense for declaring war on indigenous Europeans?
Admitting 100 million African refugees will totally destroy Europe. Given their criminal tendencies, complete unwillingness to assimilate, and proclivity for hoovering up social benefits, pretending that the EU’s GDP will benefit from this influx of human flotsam goes far beyond delusional.
Even suggesting that it is possible for the EU to accept this tsunami of parasites should be interpreted as an overt declaration of war upon native Europeans.
100 Million African ‘Refugees’ Heading To Europe
Nowadays, we have come to rely on the Merkel regime to be the bearer of bad news, and yet again they do not disappoint. Germany’s Development Minister Gerd Müller of the ‘conservative’ CSU (Christian Social Union), has predicted that up to 100 million African ‘refugees’ could head north to Europe.
This striking claim was made in response to mass hysteria over so-called climate change. Apparently, one can now be a “climate refugee”, as well as an economic refugee and a refugee fleeing war – who knew?
According to Müller, if the world – and by world he means wealthy European nations – doesn’t meet the 2 degree target on global temperatures, then Africa will be uninhabitable to the extent that these poor souls will have ‘no option but to head north’.
The Development Minister’s suggestion to deal with such an issue is to of course meet the climate targets that will cost the hard working European taxpayer an absolute fortune, but also to invest in a Marshall Plan-style fund for Africa – as if European nations haven’t been giving hundreds of billions of Euros/Pounds to African nations every year for decades.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel met with African leaders Monday in Berlin to discuss future “reform partnerships.” The chancellor vowed to invest 300 million euros ($335 million) to help governments manage the refugee flows.
Of course, by “managing the flows” what they really mean in practise is to allow the ‘refugees’ into the Mediterranean in a more orderly fashion. These globalist tyrants have no desire to halt the flow of Africans in real terms, for they are all part of the plan for the 68’ers (that’s boomers, for Americans) plan to realise their obsessional desire; sustained GDP growth.
Germany Says 100 Million African Refugees Could Head North
German Development Minister Gerd Muller warned Sunday that up to 100 million Africans could head north as economic and climate refugees.
Germany is making a push to promote peace and investment in Africa at the G20 summit in Hamburg in July. Muller believes unprecedented migrant populations could head for Europe if climate goals aren’t met and the economic outlook in Africa remains the same.
“If we continue as before, people in many parts of Africa have no other chance than to get to us,” Muller, a member of the Christian Social Union, told German tabloid Bild am Sonntag. “If we do not manage to limit global warming to two degrees, up to 100 million people will move north in the future.”
Time for heads to roll.
There are suppose to be 743 million people in all of Europe. Importing 100 million people into Southern Europe will devastate that region, There won’t be enough food or water for everyone and the new comers won’t be bound by civilized customs when it comes to getting food and water. This will add decades to the length of the war and many many millions to the death toll. The will also bring many diseases into Europe that were eradicated decades ago, this is going to increase the death rate of the Europeans and accelerate the calls for the invaders to be forced back into the sea.
Paris Terror Attack Targets Police on the Champs-Elysees, Suspect is Yet Another ‘Known Wolf’
By Patrick Poole June 19, 2017
A man previously known to French authorities for radicalism has rammed his car into a bus filled with police on the iconic Champs-Élysées in the heart of Paris this afternoon.
This is yet another “Known Wolf” terror attack. Virtually all terror attacks are committed by someone already known to authorities:

Judicial Watch: Obama NSC Advisor Susan Rice’s Unmasking Material is at Obama Library
[…]The NSC will not fulfill an April 4 Judicial Watch request for records regarding information relating to people “who were identified pursuant to intelligence collection activities.”
The agency also informed Judicial Watch that it would not turn over communications with any Intelligence Community member or agency concerning the alleged Russian involvement in the 2016 presidential election; the hacking of DNC computers; or the suspected communications between Russia and Trump campaign/transition officials. Specifically, the NSC told Judicial Watch:
Documents from the Obama administration have been transferred to the Barack Obama Presidential Library. You may send your request to the Obama Library. However, you should be aware that under the Presidential Records Act, Presidential records remain closed to the public for five years after an administration has left office.
[…]“Prosecutors, Congress, and the public will want to know when the National Security Council shipped off the records about potential intelligence abuses by the Susan Rice and others in the Obama White House to the memory hole of the Obama Presidential Library,” said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. “We are considering our legal options but we hope that the Special Counsel and Congress also consider their options and get these records.”

Gunmen kill 2 navy men, wound 3 in Pakistan (abcnews, Jun 19, 2017)

“Pakistani police say gunmen have ambushed a navy vehicle, killing two navy men and wounding three others in the southwestern coastal town of Jiwani.
Police official Abdul Hakim says the attackers opened fire on the vehicle late Monday before fleeing the scene.
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif condemned the attack in Baluchistan province. The province, which borders Iran and Afghanistan, is home to a low-level separatist insurgency and has also seen attacks by Islamic extremists.
No one immediately claimed Monday’s attack.”
White House: US wants to ‘de-escalate’ Syria situation as Russia warns it will treat jets as targets (abcnews, Jun 19, 2017)
http://abcnews.go.com/International/us-shoots-syrian-fighter-jet-syria/story?id=48119895
“Asked to respond to the shootdown of a Syrian fighter jet over Syria, White House press secretary Sean Spicer said the United States will protect its interests in Syria and will “do what we can” to keep open lines of communication with Russia and Syria.
“And so we’ve gotta do what we can to work with partners and we’re going to continue to keep an open line of communication with the Russians,” Spicer said at an off-camera press briefing Monday.
Spicer added that the U.S. wants to de-escalate the situation in Syria “but will always preserve the right of self-defense.”
“The escalation of hostilities among all of the factions that are operating there doesn’t help anybody,” said Spicer. “And so making sure that people understand while we want to de-escalate the situation there, that we have to understand that we will always preserve the right of self-defense.”
The Russian Defense Ministry earlier blasted the U.S.’s action as a “massive violation of international law” and said it will begin treating U.S.-led coalition jets flying west of the Euphrates River in Syria as targets…”
Finsbury Park Attack Suspect Named as Cardiff Resident Darren Osborne

Looks like the fb has begun.
and the poor bugger will die in jail
this depends on how long the fight lasts and how fast the Moslems manage to kill him.
Not a link, but perhaps a timely observation.
Today, an Ottawa radio station was running an ad from the Canadian Blood Supply people, saying that they URGENTLY need 50K units of blood by Canada Day.
Canada Day, the 150th birthday celebration, will attract record crowds to Ottawa. Hotels have been sold out for months and many arenas are letting people ‘camp indoors’… The celebration is anticipated to be HUGE.
But why would the Blood people possibly URGENTLY need 50K extra units of blood?
Could they have some information that the general public lacks, that might lead to an unprecedented demand for blood?
Things that make you go ‘Hmmmm’!
Tell me about it, last nights news was fucked, still is,
As I woke up this morning i heard a 12 tear old saying to the bbc that there was only one guy and he locked himself in the van.
Too muxh bullshit from the muslims on thinks,
same as Grenfell Tower, I heard that the Ethoipion had his bags packed and his kids were elsewhere when his “Fridge” blew up.
And no one has seen the cunt since.
Anyway here is what I’m here for,

“The International Organisation for Migration (IOM) is currently organising efforts to rescue around 200 mainly Somali and Ethiopian migrants it believes have been kidnapped and held and tortured in a Libyan detention centre.
The group has met with the UN in Libya to coordinate the investigation after the migrant’s families revealed they have received ransom requests from people smugglers.
Videos on social media have shown people being ruthlessly beaten and groups of people huddled in small rooms in an unknown location saying that they have not been fed, have had their arms broken and their teeth removed…”

Yemeni Official Says Houthi Militias Seized 63 Aid Vessels (aawsat, Jun 19, 2017)
https://english.aawsat.com/theaawsat/news-middle-east/yemeni-official-says-houthi-militias-seized-63-aid-vessels
“Houthi militias, which are raging civil unrest in Yemen, have robbed humanitarian relief supplies loaded in 63 cargo vessels, said the Yemeni Chairman of the Higher Relief Committee Abdul Rakeeb Fatah.
Fatah, who is also a local administrative, confirmed that Iran-aligned putschists have obstructed, detained and looted at least 63 relief vessels provided by Gulf Cooperation Council countries in Houthi-run the ports of Hodeidah and Salif.
In a Sunday statement, he explained that Houthi militias have also seized over 550 relief convoys at the gates of uninhabited provinces, which are still overrun by coup gunmen.
With insurgency militias taking over aid convoys, the humanitarian situation in those provinces continued to worsen, said Fatah.
The Yemeni official said that the militia’s control of Hodeidah port has become a deep source of concern for the international community and a threat to global maritime navigation, especially after militias having targeted passing vessels.
One of the attacked vessels was deployed by the UAE, and was carrying medical aid.
Fatah strongly condemned the militias’ persistent breaking of international laws and humanitarian conventions.
The Houthi attack on the convoys of relief by looting and robbery and the seizure of relief and medical supplies sent to the Yemeni people by neighboring countries and Arab, Islamic and international humanitarian organizations is unwarranted.
Intercepting humanitarian aid vessels is being conducted in cooperation with armed loyalists backing ousted President Ali Abdullah Saleh, aiming to advance a Tehran agenda.
Most of the incidents reported by the local administration minister were just a few days after King Salman Relief and Humanitarian Center aid trucks and a US aid ship at Mocha port were attacked.
The Iran-allied Houthi insurgency is held accountable for terror attacks, violence and extremism…”
Swedish PM Stefan Löfven slams attacks on police and emergency services: ‘Don’t touch our heroes’ (thelocal, Jun 19, 2017)
https://www.thelocal.se/20170619/dont-touch-our-heroes-says-swedish-pm-stefan-lfven-about-attacks-on-police-and-emergency-services
“Prime Minister Stefan Löfven pledged to step up the fight against drug gangs in vulnerable areas in Sweden in a speech at the Järva Week political forum in the north-western Stockholm suburb.
The Social Democrat leader’s speech was held on the final day of the week, which has seen daily speeches from Sweden’s party leaders. Löfven started his by promising tougher measures on crime, targeting among other things the drug trade in many of those areas classified as vulnerable in Sweden.
He said criminals should be treated for drug addiction by the Prison and Probation Services.
“And there have to be consequences for those who don’t accept treatment,” he said.
Löfven also said it should be easier for the police to install CCTV surveillance cameras in key spots to clamp down on the drug trade and other crimes, a increasingly heated debate in Sweden.
“Everyone should be able to be in the squares and walk home from the metro without being scared.”
He spoke at a newly-launched politics week at the Järva field, which is surrounded by suburbs part of the national police’s list of vulnerable areas, such as Rinkeby and Tensta, which have struggled with incidents of car burnings and youth gangs throwing rocks at police and emergency services.
Löfven promised tough punishments for those who attack police, fire services or ambulance staff. “Don’t touch our heroes,” he said to applause from the audience.
He also spoke about gender equality, after some high-profile feminists in Sweden argued that attempts to limit women’s freedom had been allowed to go unchecked in segregated suburbs. “When I get reports that there are self-proclaimed ‘moral policemen’ who try to decide where women are allowed to be, how they should dress and how they should live, about oppression and violence in the name of honour by fathers, brothers and male relatives, I get furious,” he said.”
Two silent protests were carried out during the speech. One against Sweden’s deportation of under-18 refugees and another protesting the deportations of professionals, a debate which started last year after several workers had their work permit renewal application rejected due to technicalities…”
