  1. Shadowy militant group says it killed a police officer (abcnews, Jul 8, 2017)
    http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/shadowy-militant-group-killed-police-officer-48517845

    “A shadowy militant group in Egypt that is suspected of links to the banned Muslim Brotherhood has claimed responsibility for the killing of a police officer in a drive-by shooting in Cairo.

    The Interior Ministry said Capt. Ibrahim Azazi was gunned down Friday while heading to a mosque. The attack happened in the Nile Delta province of Qalyoubiya, part of Greater Cairo.

    The Hasm militant group says in a statement posted on its official website that Azazi was a member of the National Security System, a tool for “oppression and tyranny.”

    The group was responsible for several previous attacks, including last month’s explosion in the Egyptian capital’s upscale suburb of Maadi killing a police officer and wounding four others. It says “members of the security forces are legitimate targets.””

  2. Italy arrests Chechen man accused of fighting with ISIS (abcnews, Jul 8, 2017)
    http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/italy-arrests-chechen-man-accused-fighting-isis-48518572

    “Italian authorities on Saturday arrested a 38-year-old Chechen accused of fighting with the Islamic State group in Syria and participating in a deadly attack on foreign and Russian journalists in Chechnya.

    Prosecutors said in a statement that Eli Bombataliev was being held on terror charges. They said evidence indicates that he was part of an Islamic State network based in Belgium. It was not clear how long he had been in Italy.

    As part of the operation, authorities expelled two Albanian brothers in their 20s legally residing in Italy and a 49-year-old Russian woman in the country illegally. They were allegedly being trained by the Chechen. According to police, the Russian woman was being prepared to act as a suicide bomber.

    Prosecutors said evidence indicates Bombataliev participated in an attack on journalists in Grozny, Chechnya in December 2014 that left 19 dead and that he fought in Syria in 2014 and 2015.”

  3. India puts Kashmir in lockdown on rebel’s death anniversary (abcnews, Jul 8, 2017)
    http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/india-puts-kashmir-lockdown-rebels-death-anniversary-48516562

    “Residents in Indian-controlled Kashmir clashed with government forces Saturday as they defied a stringent curfew on the anniversary of the killing of a charismatic rebel leader whose death triggered open defiance against Indian rule.

    Officials and witnesses said residents in the main city of Srinagar and at least four places in southern Kashmir tried to march on the streets while chanting slogans in favor of rebels and ending Indian rule. Police and paramilitary soldiers fired tear gas to disperse the crowds.

    The protesters responded by hurling rocks at troops. At least 15 people were reported injured in the clashes.

    While Kashmir has remained on edge, the Indian and Pakistani armies, which regularly trade fire and blame across the de-facto militarized frontier that divides the disputed territory between them, fired at each other’s positions, killing three civilians and an off-duty soldier, officials said.

    Pakistan’s military said two civilians were killed and three others wounded in the Indian army’s “unprovoked” firing and shelling at two places along the highly militarized Line of Control.

    India’s military said an off-duty soldier visiting his home was killed along with his wife after a shell fired from the Pakistani side hit their house in Poonch sector. Army spokesman Lt. Col. Manish Mehta called it an “unprovoked” violation of the 2003 cease-fire between India and Pakistan.

    India has accused Pakistan of arming and training the rebels, which Pakistan denies.

    For the second straight day, government forces sealed off the hometown of Burhan Wani, the 22-year-old rebel leader who was killed along with two associates in a gunbattle with Indian troops last year. Witnesses said security forces ordered residents in southern Tral town to stay indoors.

    “I’ve never seen so many soldiers in aggressive posturing enforcing a curfew in my town. This is an unprecedented restriction,” local resident Mohammed Hanief said by phone…”

  4. Cyprus police: 85 Syrian migrants took boat from Turkey (abcnews, Jul 8, 2017)
    http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/cyprus-police-85-syrian-migrants-boat-turkey-48519117

    “A Cyprus police spokesman says 85 Syrian migrants who arrived by boat to the island’s northwestern coast have now been taken to a reception center.

    Police spokesman Michalis Ioannou said Saturday the boat that brought the 64 men, nine women and 12 children to Cyprus set sail from Antalya, Turkey.

    He said it had been sailing for three days and was spotted eight miles (13 kilometers) off the coast before landing near the village of Pomos on Friday.

    Ioannou said that seven men have been taken into custody because they had been deported from Cyprus in the past.

    Cyprus lies about 55 miles (90 kilometers) from Turkey’s southern coast and around 100 miles (160 kilometers) off Syria’s Mediterranean coast.”

    http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/al-shabab-beheads-civilians-attack-kenya-village-48519045

    “Al-Shabab extremists from neighboring Somalia beheaded nine civilians in an early-morning attack on a village in the southeast, Kenyan officials said Saturday, as concerns grew that the group had taken up a bloody new strategy.

    The attack occurred in Jima village in Lamu County, said James Ole Serian, who leads a task force of security agencies combating al-Shabab.

    Beheadings by al-Shabab have been rare in Kenya, where the extremist group has carried out dozens of deadly attacks over the years.

    The al-Qaida-linked al-Shabab has vowed retribution on Kenya for sending troops in 2011 to Somalia to fight the group, which last year became the deadliest Islamic extremist group in Africa.

    Saturday’s attack occurred in the Pandaguo area, where al-Shabab fighters engaged security agencies in a day-long battle three days ago.

    A police report says about 15 al-Shabab fighters on Saturday attacked Jima village and seized men, killing them with knives.

    Al-Shabab in recent months also has increased attacks with homemade bombs, killing at least 46 in Lamu and Mandera counties…”

  6. Iran Still on the Hunt for Nuclear Weapons Technology Across Germany

    Startling new evidence from German intelligence reports shows the Tehran regime is working to illegally obtain technology and know-how to advance its nuclear weapons and missile programs, despite the 2015 agreement to curb its nuclear program.

    A report from the state of Hamburg holds that “there is no evidence of an complete about-face in Iran’s atomic polices in 2016” [after the Islamic Republic signed the JCPOA deal with Western powers in 2015, aimed at restricting Tehran’s nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief]. Iran sought missile carrier technology necessary for its rocket program.”

    The report noted that the federal prosecutor filed criminal charges against three German citizens for violations of the export economic law due to the deliveries of 51 special valves to Iranian company that can be used for the Islamic Republic’s sanctioned Arak heavy water reactor. The installation, the intelligence officials wrote, “can be used to develop plutonium for nuclear weapons.” Iran pledged, under the JCPOA deal, to “dismantle the [Arak] facility,” the intelligence report states

    More than 20,000 officers were on hand to guard the German city’s streets, skies and waterways

    ACTIVISTS clashed violently with riot cops in Germany setting cars ablaze, looting shops, throwing petrol bombs and trying to gatecrash the convention centre hosting the G20 talks.

    Hundreds of extra police were drafted in to the streets of Hamburg in a bid to keep the increasingly violent protests by anti-globalisation rioters under control.

  8. ICE crackdown in Pueblo scaring some families back to Mexico

    President Donald Trump’s crackdown on undocumented immigrants by federal agents is scaring some of those families back to Mexico, according to knowledgable sources in the Pueblo community.

    According to news reports, federal Immigration and Custom Enforcement agents were told in a February memorandum to detain any undocumented person they encountered — not just those with a criminal history or those in jails, the previous policy.

    That ramped-up enforcement has reportedly led to 14 people in the Pueblo area being arrested by ICE agents this year.

  9. This former Google[X] exec is building a high-tech hat that she says will make telepathy possible in 8 years

    Imagine if telepathy were real. If, for example, you could transmit your thoughts to a computer or to another person just by thinking them.

    In just eight years it will be, says Openwater founder Mary Lou Jepsen, thanks to technology her company is working on.

    Jepsen is a former engineering executive at Facebook, Oculus, Google[x] (now called X) and Intel. She’s also been a professor at MIT and is an inventor on over 100 patents. And that’s the abbreviated version of her resume.

    Jepsen left Facebook to found Openwater in 2016. The San Francisco-based start-up is currently building technology to make medical imaging less expensive.

    “I figured out how to put basically the functionality of an M.R.I. machine — a multimillion-dollar M.R.I. machine — into a wearable in the form of a ski hat,” Jepson tells CNBC, though she does not yet have a prototype completed.

    http://www.cnbc.com/2017/07/07/this-inventor-is-developing-technology-that-could-enable-telepathy.html

    • I figured out how to put basically the functionality of an M.R.I. machine — a multimillion-dollar M.R.I. machine — into a wearable in the form of a ski hat,” Jepson tells CNBC, though she does not yet have a prototype completed.

      One particularly desirable byproduct of this invention would be if it provided economical fMRI (functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging) with sufficient reliability to serve as a lie detector. Such technology could catch Muslim taqiyya and kitman.

      Without a repeatable and consistent tool, one of the only other viable alternatives is simply banning all Muslims from the West. Few Muslims will ever voluntarily admit that taqiyya makes it impossible to trust any follower of Islam.

      • A portable, reliable lie detector would be nice, of course the left would do everything they can to outlaw them for everyone besides their loyal household troops.

  10. FBI arrests Omaha man accused of threatening U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst

    By Natalia Alamdari / World-Herald staff writer 8 hrs ago

    The Omaha office of the FBI has arrested a man accused of making threats against U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa.

    The 64-year-old Omaha man was apprehended Friday after he was accused of threatening to assault Ernst.

    The man will be taken to Council Bluffs for an initial court appearance, the FBI said.

    Ernst’s office referred questions to the U.S. Capitol Police, which said it doesn’t comment on ongoing investigations.

  11. Black Lives Matter leaders sued over Baton Rouge police shooting

    (Reuters) – A police officer wounded in a shooting rampage in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, last year that left three officers dead sued Black Lives Matter movement leaders on Friday, accusing them of inciting violence that spurred the attack.

    The lawsuit filed in a U.S. district court in Louisiana named DeRay McKesson and four other Black Lives Matter leaders as defendants and sought at least $75,000 in damages.

    It came on the one-year anniversary of one of the deadliest days in modern U.S. history for law enforcement. On July 7, 2016, a black man angered by what he saw as deadly racial bias in U.S. policing launched a downtown Dallas sniper attack, killing five officers deployed at a protest decrying police shootings of black men.

    McKesson was not immediately available for comment and Black Lives Matter leaders have denied accusations that their movement promotes violence against police.

    About 10 days after the Dallas shooting, a decorated ex-U.S. Marine sergeant opened fire on police in Baton Rouge, killing three officers.

    https://ca.news.yahoo.com/black-lives-matter-leaders-sued-over-baton-rouge-194430706.html

      • True, but it is an amount he stands a chance of collecting, BLM isn’t an incorporated movement so they have no assets that can be attached. A win would give him the right to harass people who say they belong to BLM for the $75,000.

  12. DOJ Asks Federal Judge to Allow Texas Voter ID Law to Stand

    The Department of Justice is asking a federal judge to stop any further action against Texas voter ID law.

    DOJ officials say a plan enacted last month by a republican controlled legislature fixes parts of the law considered discriminatory against African Americans and Latinos.

    Texas original 2011 voter ID law also faced a number of legal challenges.

    Judges repeatedly found it discriminated against minority and elderly voters.

    The Trump administration dropped an Obama-era argument that Texas lawmakers had enacted the law with a discriminatory intent.

  13. In her latest assault on Trump ‘Auntie’ Maxine Waters steps in it up to her pelvis
    By Ben Bowles July 8, 2017

    I don’t know if Maxine Waters has any pastimes, but she definitely needs something to take her mind off Donald Trump. While she’s at it, “Auntie” Maxine, as the Left for some inexplicable reason has dubbed her, needs to seek employment more in line with her temperament and intellect. (Out of respect for the elderly — “Auntie” Maxine is 78 — I will leave it readers’ imaginations to find her a job more befitting her qualifications.)

    Waters, who has made headlines over the last half year for her obsession with Trump, whose impeachment, imprisonment, and exile she has called for on multiple occasions, came out with a fresh tweet on Thursday. Presumably her comment was in reaction to Trump’s speech in Poland, which some have called “Reaganeque.”

    But this time, Auntie M really stepped in it:

  14. The U.S. in Syria, and the looming strategic shift from ISIS to Iran
    By J.E. Dyer July 8, 2017

    Mosul is falling. Raqqa is surrounded, with U.S.-backed forces breaching ISIS defenses. Iran-backed and Syrian regime troops are pushing eastward through Syria, reclaiming portions of Homs Province that Assad’s regime hasn’t held for years. Recent moves by the Iranian-Syrian forces put them in Deir ez-Zor Province, some 50 miles from the city of Deir ez-Zor, ISIS’s last major stronghold.

    ISIS is on the run, in terms of its territorial holdings in Syria and Iraq. The scope of its geographic core has been reduced to approximately the 150 miles along the Euphrates Corridor from Deir ez-Zor, Syria to Haditha Dam Lake in Iraq, northwest of Ramadi.

    The character and purpose of U.S. involvement in Syria and Iraq will have to change, as the U.S. coalition finds its purpose of recovering territory from ISIS overtaken by success. American forces have been backing the Sunni Arab rebels and Kurds in this objective for nearly three years now. The assistance was virtually all from air support – much of that wasted on prohibitive rules of engagement – until the change of administration in January, when President Trump changed the ROE and put Marines in eastern Syria for fire support to the coalition militias.

    David French pointed out last week that we are basically backing into an occupation of parts of Syria. And he’s right.

    There are few things more dangerous to back into than a foreign occupation. It’s way past time we stopped backing anywhere, and turned around and started moving forward with a deliberate, strategic purpose: a purpose of our own, one that serves our national interests.

    • The big Arab diplomatic rift with Qatar: Here comes ‘the break’ for U.S. involvement in Syria
      By J.E. Dyer June 5, 2017

      Most of the focus in analyzing the abrupt diplomatic rift announced on Sunday between six Arab nations and Qatar has been on the most recent – and frankly, the most minor – events in their feud. Reported hacking incidents have resulted in embarrassment and anger for some of the governments involved, and this is said to have been the last straw in a conflict that is mostly about Qatar’s increasingly cuddly relationship with Iran.

      But this proximate explanation really applies only to the Gulf nations that have just cut ties with Doha: Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Bahrain. Yemen, Libya, and Egypt have also joined in the move, and their stakes and interests have a different emphasis. They don’t care what the Emir of Qatar said to Iran about Saudi Arabia, or vice versa.

      They do care about their own concerns – and about larger, strategically transformative trends in the region. It’s the latter that I want to look at here. The startling timing of the diplomatic break this week has more to do with the bigger trends than with anything else. The Saudis and the Egyptians, in particular, are making a big strategic move.

    • Like it never even happened: Tikrit and the unwriting of modern history (Video)
      By J.E. Dyer March 5, 2015

      The pace at which the Westphalian order is falling apart in Mesopotamia is accelerating.

      It’s important to stipulate up front that this is not because the order was uniquely weak, or because it was bound to fall due to having been miscast in the first place. Those factors are present to some degree. But the Western-style, Westphalian order is falling because the basis for all political order among humans is force, and no force is being exerted (by the leading nation, the United States) to bolster the one we are watching slip away.

      The forces that are on the march right now instead are the forces of the Islamic State insurgency and revolutionary Iran. Those forces are dedicated to re-ordering Mesopotamia. They are clashing in the lair of ancient Persia, in a pitched confrontation that, in terms of geography and geopolitical stakes, is rolling back not decades but centuries before our eyes.

      The confrontation is being called in the West the battle for Tikrit. To be sure, Tikrit is key terrain in the overall campaign. But its capture by Iranian-led Shia militias, which looks likely in the next couple of weeks (if not sooner), will be the culmination of an Iranian-led push that has been moving across Diyala Province from the Iranian border for several months now, gradually retaking important towns from Islamic State.

      • read the above articles then set down and think, the game of go just sifted from stopping ISIS stopping Iran, as you read the articles remember that Iran and North Korea are allies in their war against the west. what one has the other has, This means that Iran has nukes and ICBMs and may have the ability to mate the nukes on the ICBMs.

        Then remember there are two groups in Iran working together to build the Caliphate, one wants to dominate the region and recreate the Persian Empire. The other wants to dominate the region so they can fulfill the Shiite end times prophecies. It is not in our interest to let either group gain control of enough territory to create a Caliphate. Iran also wants to establish an Iranian naval base in Syria and one some place in North Africa. These would be used to project force and influence in the reegion.

        Now remember that Russia and China have interests in the Middle East and that Putin.Russia isn’t going to give up their war water port in Syria They will provide a sanctuary for the Christians who will probably make up most of the native fighting forces under Russian Control. We must understand that we will be unable to remove Russia from that Port unless we are willing to have open war between the US and Russia. (right now we have a part time proxy war with them, it is in our interests to prevent this from becoming a full scale proxy war) China has major interests in the Middle East (oil from Iran) and wants to establish a base to use to project force and influence through out the Med. They already have bases in sub Saharan Africa and according to the reports I have read the natives wish they could trade their new Chinese colonists for the old European colonists.

        All of the above means that we are going to have to keep forces in the Middle East for the foreseeable suture to prevent Iran from establishing a Caliphate (this is in Russia’s and China’s best interests also) and to prevent either Russia or China from becoming the major power referee in the region. Right at the moment there are 3 major players and 2 trying to become a major player but if we pull out the other two major players and the wanna be’s will move in to fill the vacuum we would leave.

        We need to find a way to teach the above facts to the useful idiots so they will not line up to support the next self loathing American hating candidate for President who promises to create peace by pulling our forces out of the regions they are occupying.

  15. Police Chief Warns Slavery Rife in London: ‘We Can’t Police Our Way Out of This’ (breitbart, Jul 8, 2017)
    http://www.breitbart.com/london/2017/07/08/police-chief-warns-slavery-rife-london/

    “The head of Scotland Yard’s anti-slavery police unit has warned that London is now a global hotspot for modern-day slavery with victims forced to work in the construction and hospitality industries.

    “Everyone realises now we’re never going to police our way out of this,” Detective Chief Inspector Phil Brewer told Thomson Reuters, revealing that the capital has seen a surge in cases of slavery this year.

    In 2017 to the end of June police have had 820 cases referred to them which concern people forced to work against their will without pay, and often in dangerous conditions — compared to 1,013 in the whole of last year.

    The Metropolitan Police needs staff working in restaurants, hotels and in industries like construction to blow the whistle on slavery cases, and said that charities can also help with finding victims.

    Speaking on the fight against domestic servitude in Britain’s capital, Brewer said the practice is being fuelled by cultural factors which mean it is seen as acceptable in some communities to keep someone from a lower social group prisoner, even though it’s against the law.

    “Labour exploitation in London is really misunderstood or not understood, it’s quite clear that it’s about what we don’t know rather than what we know,” he said.

    One of the biggest challenges for the Metropolitan police is to make sure every officer in the force of 30,000 understands and reacts appropriately to modern slavery cases, said Brewer.

    Along with police, government departments and local authorities are investigating whether people in the construction and hospitality industries are being forced to work as modern-day slaves.

    Prime Minister Theresa May promised to lead the fight against modern-day slavery, with Britain passing the Modern Day Slavery Act in 2015, which introduced life sentences for traffickers and forced companies to disclose their efforts to ensure their supply chains are free from slavery.

    According to government data, there are an estimated 13,000 victims of forced labour, sexual exploitation and domestic servitude in the UK.

    In October, a new report to Parliament said that there are “too many gaps” in the action being taken to protect victims.

    Warning that Europe’s “migrant crisis” was being used by traffickers to lure people into servitude, Britain’s independent anti-slavery commissioner Kevin Hyland said that African women trafficked into prostitution, and men from Eastern Europe “exploited in shocking conditions in car washes” were among those being forced unlawfully into slavery.”

    • Where there are Moslems living by Sharia law there is slavery, the more Moslems the more slavery.

  16. Germany: Hamburg wakes up to gutted shops and burnt-out barricades after night of clashes

    German police walked through wreckage in the Neuer Pferdemarkt district of Hamburg, Saturday, after a night of fiery clashes between G20 protesters and security forces.

    Several shops were looted among other damage as riots spread through several areas of the port city. The footage filmed at Neuer Pferdemarkt shows smashed shop windows, damaged ATMs and piles of rubbish strewn across the streets.

    Police used water cannons and pepper spray against the crowd, while protesters set up barricades and threw objects and set cars ablaze. The clashes left scores of protesters arrested and injured, as groups from across Germany and international organisations rally against the G20-Summit.

  20. First the students drove a prof off campus for opposing no-whites day. Now the admin goes crazy
    By Ben Bowles July 7, 2017

    Evergreen State College in Olympia, Wash., first achieved national prominence in May when a Jewish professor dared to oppose the recommendation of a black colleague that the university conduct a “Day of Absence” during which white students, faculty, and staff were not welcome on campus. The professor, Bret Weinstein, was urged to vacate the campus for his own safety as 200 students stormed the president’s office, demanding that Weinstein’s “white ass” be fired.

    In the days that followed, the protests escalated to a point where the university was forced to shut down, postponing classes.

    Over the last month, the situation has settled down. But the daily protests endure. Which has prompted Evergreen’s interim provost, Ken Tabbutt, to request respectfully that professors consider “the physical and emotional commitment” of student protesters when deciding their final grades. Campus Reform has obtained and posted a copy of the email Tabbutt sent to all faculty.

    This boggles the mind. Didn’t universities used to be places where people, and primarily newly minted high school graduates, went to broaden their education and prepare for a life in the real world?

    It really seemed to be stretching the notion of college when schools made off-the-record “academic accommodations” to varsity athletes. But at least the argument could be made that these students generated revenue for the school. I defy anyone to explain to me how students who spend their days out of class, marching around with signs, chanting slogans, are doing themselves, much less the school, any good.

  22. Germany: Chechen Sharia Police Terrorize Berlin

    by Soeren Kern

    https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/10632/germany-chechens

    A hundred Islamists are now openly enforcing Sharia law on the streets of Berlin, according to local police who are investigating a recent string of violent assaults in the German capital.

    The self-appointed morality police involve Salafists from Chechnya, a predominantly Sunni Muslim region in Russia. The vigilantes are using threats of violence to discourage Chechen migrants from integrating into German society; they are also promoting the establishment of a parallel Islamic legal system in Germany. German authorities appear unable to stop them.

    The Sharia patrol came to public light in May 2017, when Chechen Salafists released a video warning other Chechens in Germany that those who fail to comply with Islamic law and adat, a traditional Chechen code of behavior, will be killed. The video’s existence was reported by Meduza, a Russian-language independent media organization based in Latvia. The video, which circulated through WhatsApp, an online messaging service, showed a hooded man aiming a pistol at the camera. Speaking in Chechen, he declared:

  24. Egypt Kills 16 Gunmen as Soldiers of Terror Attack Laid to Rest (aawsat, Jul 8, 2017)
    https://english.aawsat.com/asharq-al-awsat-english/news-middle-east/egypt-kills-16-gunmen-soldiers-terror-attack-laid-rest

    “Egypt’s Interior Ministry said on Saturday its forces had killed 14 gunmen in Ismailia province, adding that they were linked to recent attacks against the security forces in Northern Sinai.

    At least 23 Egyptian soldiers were killed when suicide car bombs tore through two military checkpoints in North Sinai on Friday, an attack claimed by ISIS. It was one of the bloodiest assaults on security forces in years.

    The Interior Ministry said in a statement that gunmen had opened fire on police as they approached a desert training camp for militants in Ismailia. The officers returned fire, killing 14 militants, five of whom have been identified so far.

    The camp was used to “subject (recruits) to military training programs on the use of various types of firearms and manufacture explosive devices,” the statement said.

    In a separate statement, the ministry said its forces killed two men described as fugitive terrorists in an exchange of gunfire in the city of Giza.

    Funerals were held on Saturday for the dead soldiers of the North Sinai attack.”

    • Notice Egyptian police being murdered in Sinai nearly every day?
      Unlike Pakistan or Afghanistan, Egypt isn’t riven by sectarian violence. Even Copts were relatively secure before the Arab Spring of 0, McCain, and the MB.

      ==> Why isn’t this getting more media coverage?
      ==> Because it’s MB. The “military wing” of the MB: al-Qaeda, Hamas, ISIS.
      Moderate jihadis.

  25. Erdogan says Turkey will respond to any threats on its border (reuters, Jul 8, 2017)
    http://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-g20-turkey-erdogan-idUKKBN19T0WY

    “President Tayyip Erdogan said on Saturday Turkey would not watch passively as weapons are sent to Kurdish fighters on its southern border, saying his country would respond to any threats to national security.

    The United States has been arming Kurdish YPG fighters taking part in the battle to recapture the Syrian city of Raqqa from Islamic State, angering its NATO ally Turkey. Ankara views the YPG as an extension of the Kurdish PKK group that has waged a long insurgency in southeast Turkey.

    Turkey, Washington and the European Union have all designated the PKK as a terrorist organisation.

    “We will definitely not remain silent and unresponsive to the support and arming of terror organizations next to our borders and the forming of terror islands in the region,” Hurriyet Daily News website quoted Erdogan as saying.

    “We will not hesitate to use our right to self defence against formations threatening the security of our country,” Erdogan told a news conference at the G20 summit in Hamburg, according to the web site.

    Erdogan expressed Turkey’s alarm at the U.S. decision to arm the YPG at a White House meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump in May. The two men also met at the G20 summit…”

    • We have always know that some of the Royal Family supports ISIS possibly maybe even probably acting as cutouts to give plausible deniability to the Saudi King.

        • And ISIS and who ever is going to take the place of ISIS after they are thinned down. Note how each new group gets bigger and more successful, we will have to keep knocking them down because we don’t dare let anyone reestablish a Caliphate.

  26. Germany: Turkey will not allow a Kurdish state in Syria – Erdogan

    Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan vowed that Ankara would not allow the establishment of a Kurdish state in northern Syria, making the statement on the second day of the G20 Summit in Hamburg, Saturday.

    • Erdogan is the second weakest player in the Iraqi-Syrian theater of operations, we have enough need of them to make us listen to them at the least but not enough to let them dictate our future goals. Erdogan is going to have a hard time realizing that he can’t push Trump around like he did Obama.

      • You’re right, he’s weak here.

        His strength is in the hyphenated citizens of the EU. Second and third generation more Turkish than their parents and grandparents. Plus untold numbers of loyalists posing as “refugees”.

        Scary leverage in Germany, the Netherlands, and Belgium. Organized agents infiltrating the bureaucracy, police, politics. Plenty in the EU-apparatus itself.

        Though they’re mostly MB-Erdogan, there are lesser numbers of Gulenists and Kurds. Just enough to bring their tribal fighting to the streets of Europe.

        • Which may be a blessing in disguise if the German resistance can keep them fighting each other.

          • Yeah, that would be one solution.

            Kinda like gang feuds, the police just try to keep the collateral damage down.

        • She did.

          But she’s right.

          The Good Guys don’t have establishment security details. [And they’re the only ones reporting the damaging truth!] She’s high profile, was filmed with Identitarians intercepting the people-smugglers. She seemed to be cheering the movement. [Good for her!]

          That’s perceived by crazy Brownshirts as Enemy. She’s a magnet for violent thugs and the police won’t be on her side. She has to disguise her appearance for the sake of those around her.

          Infuriating, but that’s the way it is.

          • What does it tell you when simply being seen near somebody else is taken as grounds for guilt by association?

            Too bad the German government didn’t have sufficient moral authority to simply cordon off that entire gathering of “black bloc” Antifa protesters and process all of them for identity and biometrics.

            I realize how that is one of the very last admissions of weakness or fallibility that Merkel wants to make, but the G20 conference was a unique event in terms of attracting such a massive Antifa presence.

            Part of Europe’s modern day survival hinges upon being able to monitor and counteract Antifa. In a strong parallel with Islam, even the EU’s most Liberal politicians—as in; those who most directly benefit from activist violence and any anti-Identitarian movements—eventually will be (per the Bezmenov interview) “squashed like cockroaches”, whether it is the Muslims or Antifa who’re doing the squashing.

            As usual, these elite Liberal termites just cannot bring themselves to imagine a time when their seemingly absolute political power evaporates almost overnight in an orgy of anarchy and jihad.

            When the Muslims and Antifa slip their leashes, these sanctimonious bastards will be among the very first who go to the wall. But by then, it will be too late for regular Europeans.

            • When the Muslims and Antifa slip their leashes, these sanctimonious bastards will be among the very first who go to the wall. But by then, it will be too late for regular Europeans.

              To late, that depends on how many can get out and can get backing for training to go back and retake their countries. This fact is another reason we need to see the Dems power destroyed and see the deep state swamp critters removed, as well as keep a President with balls enough to provide backing for the resistance movements. Also we need one that will work with local patriots in Britain and France to secure their nukes if this becomes necessary.

          • I pray she takes your advice, she is valuable to the resistance. She will do a lot more good as a living reporter then as a martyr. Faith Goldy needs to be ready to do this when she is covering riots, she is another high profile member of the resistance. All effective alt journalists have big targets on their backs. .

    • Buck,

      Thank you so much for posting this. The notion that Canada’s brain-dead judicial system could somehow impose its own moronic curtailments on a global basis simply boggles the mind.

      Much to the credit of those who produced this clip, they made a careful distinction between these arbitrary worldwide rulings and another, far more important issue, “the right to be forgotten”.

      I continue to maintain that the EU’s insistence upon an individual’s “right to be forgotten” remains one of the most important modern (cyber) issues. In fact, any observations or comments about “the right to be forgotten” are welcome.

      For instance, please consider the issue of license plate scanning technology. This equipment enabled ordinary (properly outfitted) law enforcement vehicles to continuously monitor and record the GPS coordinates, and license plate numbers of every last oncoming, parked, or preceding automobile that the police car encountered during a routine patrol.

      In turn, this data was then transmitted to a central clearinghouse for such legal data in order to determine whether there were outstanding arrest warrants on that vehicle’s owner, if the car had been stolen, much less just the existence of past-due parking tickets or citations upon the automobile itself.

      As Old Bill would say, “therein lies the rub”. For example, a company in Arizona that processed this vast bulk of information for a major (i.e., +1MM population) American city went out of business. As a routine part of this corporation’s bankruptcy proceedings, its capital equipment was liquidated, including the data farm servers that held many thousands of hours’ worth of records derived from license plate scanning.

      This meant that countless hundreds of thousands of innocent people’s movements were catalogued, monitored, and sorted for ready identification. Perish the thought that the company’s server assets should have been magnetically wiped or simply sledgehammered into oblivion.

      The point being that, for independent police vehicles to roam about and gather this sort of intensely private data requires the following guidelines:

      A.) The data-gathering point (patrol car) cannot transmit unprocessed data to some other site. The vehicle must be capable of storing and sorting through the entire national catalogue (i.e., database) as part of detecting violators in a manner that discards any information related to entirely innocent parties.

      B.) Only violation-related data can be retained by the mobile system. All else must be deleted on a minute-by-minute basis.

      Finally, as facial, voice, and biometric recognition systems continue to proliferate, it becomes increasingly crucial to amend existing Constitutional law regarding personal privacy.

      For several decades, the gold standard of American law has been, “a reasonable expectation of privacy”. As in, people may photograph or film your house from the nearby public-access sidewalk, but are in no way entitled to encroach upon your private property or move aside curtains in order to obtain more detailed images that relate to your livelihood or family life.

      All of this no longer applies. This “gold standard” must be redefined over to, “a reasonable expectation of anonymity“. PERIOD.

      Insert all necessary and appropriate blather about Big Brother >here<.

      • You are right, the right of privacy must be amended to include the right to have non criminal actions scrubbed from the data bases.

        • Thank you, Richard. The one thing I omitted (with only a glancing note of it via “facial recognition”) is the proliferation of video surveillance cameras. How to productively manage all of that data is another of the huge challenges confronting an open and free society.

  27. Hungary: Far-right groups launch new anti-immigrant movement

    Some 300 far-right activists gathered at the Budapest’s suburbs Vecses, Saturday for the launch of a new movement ‘Force and Determination.

    Members of other far-right groups Identitesz (Identity), Betyarsereg (The Army of Outlaws), and Hungarian Self-Defence League staged a rally in the support of the new political movement.

  28. Spain: Protesters rally against mosques in Barcelona

    More than a hundred people gathered outside the Sant Feliu de Llobregat station, in Barcelona, Saturday, to protest against the relocation of a local mosque.

    The rally was called by the National Democracy party, and saw the participation of demonstrators holding flares as well as signs reading “Stop Islam. Spain is Christian,” “No mosques” and “Stop to the Islamisation of Europe.”

    President of National Democracy Manuel Candela maintained that the party is not “against religious freedom,” and his members are therefore not to be labelled “Nazis, or racist or xenophobic.” He then stated that they only want to “defend the right of these neighbours and all Spanish people to decide what opens and what does not open in our country.”

    Besides some minor moments of tension when the demonstration was met by an antifascist counter-protest, no major incidents were reported.


  29. UK Muslim Radio Station Claims it Broadcast 25 Hours of Violent Al Qaeda Speeches ‘By Mistake’ (breitbart, Jul 8, 2017)
    http://www.breitbart.com/london/2017/07/08/radio-urging-violence-non-muslims/

    “A Sheffield-based Muslim radio station has had its license suspended after broadcasting 25 hours of sermons “encouraging and condoning” violence against non-Muslims.

    Ofcom investigated Iman FM after a complaint that the radio station had, during Ramadan, aired lectures by Anwar Al-Awlaki, an influential cleric killed by a U.S. drone strike in 2011.

    The broadcasting watchdog said it had “serious concerns” over Iman FM’s decision to air the series of pre-recorded lectures by a “widely-known terrorist leader and al-Qaeda recruiter.”

    The material “amounted to a direct call to action to members of the Muslim community to prepare for and carry out violent action against non-Muslim people,” according to Ofcom, which suspended the community radio station’s license and gave managers 21 days to explain themselves or have the channel shut down.

    Ofcom further stated that the cumulative effect of al-Awlaki’s statements in the lectures broadcast would “condone, promote and encourage violent behaviour towards non-Muslim people,” the Star reported.

    “Further, the lectures appeared to link violent acts of the past with actions that might potentially be taken today,” judged the regulator, taking the view that the content therefore amounted to a call to action which was likely to encourage or incite the commission of crime or lead to disorder.”

    Bosses at Iman FM, the mission statement of which is “equipping the generation towards a cohesive society”, admitted to having downloaded and broadcast Awlaki’s lectures during Ramadan, but claimed to be unaware of the hate preacher’s background…”

    • Gotta teach Arabic to security personnel. Gotta infiltrate the mosques. They do it in Egypt, Tunesia, Russia, even Saudi Arabia.

      Freedom of association? Phooey.

    “Iranian Border Guards forces fired three mortal shells into the Pakistani territory near the Panjgur area of Balochistan on Saturday.

    There were no reports of any casualties or injuries following the cross-border shelling.

    Last month, the Pakistan Air Force had shot down an Iranian drone in Panjgur after it was found flying deep inside Pakistan airspace…”

        • That is what I was thinking, plus a war might weaken Iran enough some of the supposed moderates in the US might be able to seize power for a while.

          • Some sinister creatures lurk in the Iranian expat communities. The worst, so I’m told, is Vienna.

    “With the Kashmiris on both sides of the Line of Control (LoC) commemorating the first death anniversary of popular militant commander Burhan Wani on Saturday, Indian forces resorted to unprovoked firing into Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK), killing at least five people and injuring 10 others.

    Indian forces undertook unprovoked firing of small and heavy weapons as well as mortars along the Line of Control (LoC) in Chirikot and Satwal sector, said a statement from the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), adding that Pakistani troops effectively responded to the Indian firing.

    According to Poonch’s Deputy Commissioner Raja Tahir Mumtaz, Indian forces opened fire into two different sectors of LoC in the early hours of Saturday. Four citizens, including three women, were killed and 10 others sustained injuries in one incident. And one citizen was killed and two others injured in the other.

    http://www.khaama.com/hebatullah-and-rasool-taliban-fighters-clash-leaves-several-dead-wounded-03105

    “Infighting has been reported among the militants of Mullah Hebatullah Akhundzada and his rival Mullah Rasool fighters in northwestern Badghis province of Afghanistan.

    According to the local government officials, the incident took place on Friday afternoon in the vicinity of Jawand district.

    Provincial governor’s spokesman Zahir Bahand confirmed the incident and said at least seven militants were killed from the both sides and six others were wounded, citing preliminary information received by the government.

    He said four of the insurgents belong to Mullah Hebatullah group while three others belong to Mullah Rasool group.

    In the meantime, Bahand said three of the wounded militants belong to Mullah Hebatullah group and three others to Mullah Rasool.

    The anti-government armed militant groups have not commented regarding the report so far.
    This is not the first time an infighting has taken place among the two groups of the Taliban but scores of people have been killed or wounded in similar clashes, specifically after the confirmation of the death of their founder Mullah Mohammad Omar.

    In a similar clash, involving suicide attacks, dozens of fighters from the two sides were killed and several others were wounded in southern Helmand province last month.”

  34. Beware ‘Patriots, Armed To the Teeth’: Trump Supporter Threatens US Muslims (sputniknews, Jul 9, 2017)
    https://sputniknews.com/art_living/201707091055375484-trump-supporter-emails-hate-speech/

    “An email received by the Minnesota chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations has been forwarded to the FBI with a request to investigate the sender for making violent threats and hate speech.

    The email, which contained numerous threatening emotional expressions of hate, was received on Thursday evening and is not the first of its kind from the same sender, according to CAIR, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

    CAIR released the contents for the email in a news release.

    Using the subject header “Muslim sewer rats” the as-yet-unidentified sender wrote:

    “Hey there Muslim PIG SWINE. We MILLIONS upon MILLIONS of PATRIOTS, armed to the teeth with HUNDREDS of millions of weapons, with literally over 50 BILLION rounds of horrific, violent camel jockey piercing rounds of ammo. We have a LEADER in the White House, now standing for JUDEO-Christian values…You have mistaken European White Males patience for weakness. Get ready to have a war,” Raw Story reveals.

    Minneapolis, Minnesota, is part of a central-northern region of the US that is no stranger to anti-Muslim violence and expressions of white supremacy.

    A local man was sentenced to one year in prison earlier this year for threatening to blow up an Islamic religious center in Minneapolis in 2015, according to Minnesota Public Radio.

    A jury in May found a local man guilty of shooting and wounding two Somali-American men who were walking outside in Minneapolis.

    “This type of threat targeting American Muslims, their institutions and their leaders is becoming increasingly common,” Jaylani Hussein, CAIR-Minnesota executive director, said.

    The email, with its hate speech and threats of violence must be “investigated as a hate crime by law enforcement authorities and repudiated by state and national leaders,” Hussein said, cited by the Star Tribune.

    Founded in 1994, CAIR is a nonprofit Muslim civil rights advocacy group with branches in many cities across the US.”
