Isolated communities fuelling home-grown jihadi terror threat, warns UK police chief (express, Sep 5, 2017)
http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/850078/Terror-threat-UK-police-home-grown-isolated-communities-schools-ISIS
“THE TERROR threat is being fuelled by isolated communities with the greatest danger coming from ISIS-inspired jihadis, UK police chief warns.
Senior police chief Neil Basu highlighted the role “unregulated” education and home schooling plays in radicalising home-grown terrorists.
Mr Basu also questioned the safety provided by Britain’s borders and called for stricter checks on arrivals into the UK.
The lack of security at ferry ports was highlighted as a particular weak point coupled with the lack of biometric checks.
Mr Basu at the Police Superintendents’ Association conference in Stratford-Upon-Avon, said: “Borders and ports are porous. There is a lack of biometrics and advanced passenger information… Our borders are not badly controlled but nevertheless they are still vulnerable.”
The senior officer still expects the terror threat to be high in five years time when he retires.
In a grim warning, he told officers that the recent glut of attacks was a shift and not a spike predicting it to become the norm in coming years.
He suggested the threat posed by returning fighters was coupled with that from would-be jihadis who were prevented from travelling to Syria.
Mr Basu claimed while some British ISIS-inspired jihadis who were prevented from travelling were not committed to the cause others may choose to carry out attacks in Britain.
He claimed it is futile to try and predict where the next attack will happen or who the attacker will be.
The counter-terror chief, said: “We stopped a lot of our jihadis travelling… if they cannot travel then why not attack here?”
Islamic schools in the West Midlands and northern England have been met with concerns they may be harbouring extremists.
The relatively unknown schools are accused of extremist practices but are allowed to stay open while they battle closure in court.
Dame Louise Casey’s Home Office report last year claimed the government had not kept pace with immigration and that isolation of ethnicities had worked in some areas despite improving in others.
The level of English speaking in Muslim communities was especially low in women, she found.
Mr Basu said the police were currently investigating around 600 potential extremist plots in the UK.
Since the Westminster Bridge attack in March terror arrests have jumped by 75 per cent. While calls to an anti-terror phone line soared to 3,000 a month.”
Isolated communities fuelling home-grown jihadi terror threat, warns UK police chief
How incredibly stupid are these people? It is a principal reason that Muslims create no-go zones wherever they set up house. Acting as if this is any sort of news is pathetic.
Muslims enclaves are incubators for terrorism and sharia law. Full stop.
The only thing that will amaze me is if senior police chief Neil Basu isn’t publicly castigated for his Islamophobic “hate speech”.
“The only thing that will amaze me is if senior police chief Neil Basu isn’t publicly castigated for his Islamophobic “hate speech”.”
He would be if he was at a UK university.
“A law student is under investigation by his university after allegedly mocking ISIS on social media and ‘putting minority students at risk and in a state of panic’.
Robbie Travers is being probed by Edinburgh University amid claims he committed a ‘hate crime’, despite no criminal investigation by the police.
The 21-year-old third-year student wrote a Facebook post after the US Air Force bombed an ISIS stronghold in Afghanistan in April.
However his comments sparked a complaint from fellow student Esme Allman, who accused him of ‘blatant Islamaphobia’.
Following the air attack in April Mr Traves wrote: ‘I’m glad we could bring these barbarians a step closer to collecting their 72 virgins’.
Ms Allman, a second-year history student, claimed Mr Travers ‘put minority students at risk and in a state of panic’ and breached the student code of conduct with his comments.”

More diplomacy will only make matters worse, says Amb. Bolton
Following North Korea’s announcement that it successfully tested a thermonuclear device on Sunday, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton said more diplomacy will only make matters worse regarding the Hermit Kingdom’s nuclear threat to surrounding countries and America.
“I think the only diplomatic option left is to end the regime in North Korea by effectively having the South take it over,” Bolton told “Sunday Morning Futures.” “Anybody who thinks that more diplomacy with North Korea or sanctions, whether against North Korea or an effort to apply sanctions against China, is just giving North Korea more time to increase its nuclear arsenal, increase its ballistic missile capability, increase the accuracy of its guidance systems and put us, South Korea and Japan in more jeopardy.”
The artificial earthquake caused by the test was “five to six times stronger” than tremors created by previous tests; South Korean officials put the magnitude at 5.7 and the U.S. Geological Survey said it was a magnitude 6.3, according to The Associated Press.
In addition to the threat of the country launching a thermonuclear weapon, Bolton explained that the willingness of Kim Jong Un to sell anything for money is also quite worrisome.
“They could sell these weapons, ballistic missiles and the nuclear devices themselves to Iran in a heartbeat. North Korea can sell these devices to terrorist groups around the world; they could be used as electromagnetic pulse weapons (EMPs), not necessarily hitting targets, but destroying our electric grid’s capabilities,” the former ambassador said, adding that they could also be used for nuclear blackmail.
President Trump reacted to the news of the alleged test on Twitter saying, “North Korea is a rogue nation which has become a great threat and embarrassment to China, which is trying to help but with little success.”
He also criticized South Korea for not taking a tougher stand against the communist country.
Bolton said the U.S. has “fooled around” with North Korea for 25 years, and if that continues, the current situation will only worsen.
“It would be a lesson to every nuclear state in the world that if you just have patience enough you can wear the United States down. The notion that we can accept North Korea or Iran with any kind of nuclear capability just means that we will forever be at their mercy,” he said.
Finally, someone who “gets it”. Trust a hardball player like Bolton to understand how bullies must be dealt with. Every North Korean missile launch should be regarded an opportunity to test the THAAD system.
Not just Thaad, the new railgun and newer laser systems, test them all.
Ah, yup. North Korea’s missile launches should be considered our own private shooting gallery. Let the plinking begin!
One of Bolton’s most salient points is North Korea’s willingness to sell whatever parts or even entire assembled nuclear weapons to any buyer. As Richard is fond of noting, Iran tops that particular “Christmas list”, but Islamic terrorist organizations (same thing, really) cannot be far behind.
More than anything, failure to act will only embolden America’s enemies to acquire nuclear weapons and play out this same exact ration of sh!t.
What a pity that it’s literally impossible to evacuate Seoul. With the world’s most densely populated urban center taken off the chessboard, North Korea would suddenly have very little leverage.
Finally, damn 0bama for de-funding America’s laser weapons research.
Last things first, Yes Obama’s cutting funding to laser research was one of the worst thing he did, there isn’t sufficient cuss words to do justice to the evil of this decision.
Yes North Korea will sell to anyone with hard cash, this fact alone is sufficient reason for removing North Korea from the game board. There can be a wide DMZ with China and no US forces withing 50 to a 100 miles of the Chinese border.
North Korea says nuclear tests are ‘gift packages for the US’ and warns more will follow
The state is reported to be edging closer to nuclear war after secretly moving an an intercontinental ballistic missile to a coastal position
North Korea said nuclear tests are “gift packages” to the United States and that more will follow.
Han Tae Song, the ambassador of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) to the UN in Geneva, made the comment during a UN-sponsored Conference on Disarmament today.

NORTH Korea has reportedly moved an intercontinental ballistic missile towards its west coast – as the US declared Kim Jong-Un is “begging for war”.
South Korea’s Asia Business Daily cited an intelligence source saying the rocket was spotted moving on Monday – just a day after North Korea’s sixth and largest nuclear test.

Tokyo mulls how to bring thousands of South Korea-based nationals to safety
TOKYO — As tensions on the Korean Peninsula reach new heights with Pyongyang’s latest nuclear test, Japan is planning for a possible mass evacuation of the nearly 60,000 Japanese citizens currently living in or visiting South Korea.
“There is a possibility of further provocations,” Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said at a Monday meeting with ruling coalition lawmakers. “We need to remain extremely vigilant and do everything we can to ensure the safety of our people.”

“Dramatic images show the Sea Ceptor missiles being fired from HMS Argyll off the coast of Scotland as preparations are made to dispatch the missiles to Japan.”
Why a royalist kingdom didn’t name this ordnance “Sea Scepter” is beyond me.
If we attack now the causalities will be between 100 and 200 thousand, if we wait even 1 more year the causalities will be 1 to 10 million and possibly higher. Take your pick.
I pick the Screw South Korea™ option. What a lot of people do not know is that large South Korean corporations like Samsung have blatantly ripped off American intellectual property as part of their economic rise. Time to pay the piper.
Academics Discover New Way To Get Offended: ‘Invisibility Microaggressions’
Two professors claim to have discovered a new form of politically incorrect offense called “invisibility microaggressions,” which are said to be even more subtle than regular microaggressions. Their proposed solution for these offenses is to get rid of meritocracy.
In social justice jargon, a “microaggression” is when someone — say a white person — asks an Asian person where they’re from. While the question isn’t offensive in and of itself, the act of asking a person who may get the same question repeatedly throughout the week can be annoying and therefore offensive.
Campus Reform reported on Thursday that a recent study by two professors, Jasmine Mena, who teaches psychology at Bucknell University, and Annemarie Vaccaro of the University of Rhode Island, claim that they are the first academics to discover that “invisibility” is a form of microaggressions not previously described in feminist academia.
“There is a growing body of literature that suggests invisibility is a common form of exclusion — or microaggression,” Mena and Vaccaro say. “However, no studies have focused deeply on the ways women faculty and staff experience invisibility microaggressions on college campuses.”
The two professors interviewed 13 non-white women at “predominantly white institutions” and found five different forms of “invisibility microaggressions.” Three were “environmental” and two were “interpersonal.”
Publishing their findings in the NASPA Journal About Women In Higher Education on Aug. 29, the professors claim that the environment-based “invisibility microaggressions” occur when they are “among the few, or only” non-whites in a workplace or communal context.
Meanwhile, interpersonal “invisibility microaggressions” are said to hinder non-white people in “everyday work roles” because their ethnicity or gender is being ignored or because they don’t see other non-white people there.
The participants reported “campus invisibility,” where non-white faculty members say they experienced invisibility for being one of the few non-white faculty members on campus.
Unlike regular microaggressions, which require at least two parties for them to occur, invisibility microaggressions only needs for one person to feel invisible in an environment. A lone black person among a sea of white faces could qualify as one of these invisibility microaggressions — especially if he or she isn’t singled out for being black. But if that happens, then it can possibly be a macroaggression.
The professors say that the only way to deal with invisibility microaggressions is for campuses and workplaces to single out minorities and shower them with positive attention, to make them feel less invisible.
Rather than commend them on the merits of their work like any other employee, the professors suggest deliberately selecting non-white women for high-profile awards and celebrate them on alumni magazines, newsletters, and other materials.
The professors also recommend that campus leaders “must be especially vigilant in considering and recommending Women of Color for leadership roles.”
NR: Yet one more way of blaming White people for everything that’s wrong in the world. Why don’t they stop prinking around and just shout out, “WE HATE WHITE PEOPLE!”
I think we all know damn well that once Mena and Vaccaro are substantially cosseted and pampered (like they are demanding), they’ll start screaming about how they’re being condescended to.
Laugh or cry at this one…
You got it, Johnnyu. It’s the usual “lose-lose” situation that progressives continually inflict upon Conservatives and White people especially.
When the guns come out, please don’t expect any sympathy from me (not that you even asked).
PS: Please look for my filk of, “Where have all the Flowers Gone”
Major larfs guaranteed. You, along with several others here, are most deserving.
My department’s graduating class had 103 men and 8 women. I never felt invisible.
“My department’s graduating class had 103 men and 8 women. I never felt invisible.”
That’s because, dear Yucki, you have a (delightfully active) brain.
Maybe so, and thank-you.
But my point is that an obvious minority is a STRETCH from invisible. You have to work at feeling invisibly micro-aggressed as a minority.
And if that’s what’s on your mind, you’re not focused properly. You’ll have nothing to contribute to the work of the group, the matter at hand. That was true in school and it’s the same on the job.
yer dead weight, who needs ya?Some interesting new Israeli weapons technology. Not sure why they depicted American stealth aircraft in the second clip.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LG-_Dz6nseQ
I don’t get this.
Aside from some really innovative drone technology, what don’t you get?
The moral answer to North Korea threats: Take them out!
Better a million dead North Koreans than a thousand dead Americans. The fundamental reason our government exists is to protect our people and our territory. Everything else is a grace note. And the words we never should hear in regard to North Korea’s nuclear threats are “We should’ve done something.”
Instead, we should do something. Pyongyang’s Sunday test of a hydrogen bomb of devastating power begs for decisive action. Must we wait until Americans die?
A preemptive strike against Kim Jong-un’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs would be a terrible thing, demanding a vast military effort (if done properly) and leaving broad destruction in its wake. But that terrible option increasingly appears to be the least bad option. The question is whether we’ll delay action until it’s too late to save American lives.
When we’re threatened with nuclear destruction by North Korea, a military response is not unethical. Rather, inviting a North Korean attack by hesitating endlessly then witnessing the slaughter of tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of our citizens would be unethical and immoral.
We do not want war. That much could not be more obvious. But we cannot sacrifice American lives to shield the consciences of intellectual elites who, from protected positions of immense privilege, insist that all human life is precious, not just our “deplorable” American lives.
If there is any real hope of a peaceful solution, of course that would be preferable. But we cannot rely on miracles or mirages. A generation of talks has done nothing but protect North Korea’s weapons programs. Sanctions haven’t restrained North Korea, either, since China, Russia, India and other states undercut them.
Nor have our displays of force in the region done anything to deter a regime conditioned to our empty pageantry.
North Korea doesn’t believe we will act. Because we never have acted.
Those wildly misnamed Washington institutions labeled “think tanks” find themselves stumped: Conditioned to group-think and addicted to that supreme intellectual opiate, negotiations, we hear — even from conservative voices — that there’s no military solution, while the left repeats that “war never changes anything.”
As to the latter claim, warfare has been humanity’s ultimate means of resolving intractable issues since the first cave-dwellers went at the gang from the cave down yonder with rocks. We may not like it — I don’t — but to insist that war isn’t humanity’s sometimes-necessary default means of survival is to ignore all of human history.
As for the irresponsible claim that there’s no military solution, it’s transparently false. Of course there’s a military solution. It’s horrible, but pulling triggers may be the only option feckless diplomats and prevaricating administrations have left us to protect our people and territory.
Again, the primary rationale for our government’s existence is to protect us from physical harm at the hands of foreign powers. That’s why we have a military. We are promised “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,” not a spineless calculus that protects our enemies rather than ourselves.
If someone screams that they’re going to kill us and points a gun toward us, we have the legal and ethical right to draw and fire first. And if the attacker also threatens to kill our wives and children, it would be immoral not to shoot first.
Our North Korea problem comes down to just that.
I realize this column will leave liberals aghast, while even conservatives cling to lullaby chatter. I do not relish death or human suffering. But it would be immoral to allow North Korea to develop an arsenal capable of attacking our military, our cities and our allies.
How could it be ethically superior and morally correct to permit a self-declared and virulent enemy to destroy Honolulu, San Diego and Seattle?
We cannot allow moral relativism to butcher Americans. We must deal with the world as it is, not as we wish it to be. And in the real world, the greatest immorality in war is not killing the enemy. The greatest immorality would be for our country to lose.
Has South Korea developed contingency options?
Drilled evacuation? Been aggressive on missile defense?
I don’t think so.
Nor are they keen on absorbing and integrating their northern brethren when push eventually comes to shove.
That’s what I’ve read, anyway.
Correctamundo on all points, yucki. Time for South Korea to pay the piper.
Maybe they will suddenly remember how, “The devil calls all the best tunes.”
US and South Korea agree to end missile payload limits
President Trump and South Korean President Moon Jae-in have agreed on a massive arms deal and to scrap a warhead weight limit on the South’s missiles in the wake of North Korea’s sixth and most powerful nuclear test.
The White House said the leaders “agreed to maximize pressure on North Korea using all means at their disposal.”
And Trump “provided conceptual approval” to a plan to ramp up US arms sales to the South.
Under the existing missile deal, Seoul’s warheads currently have a cap of 1,100 pounds.
The agreement, last amended in 2012, was being renegotiated in the wake of a series of missile tests by North Korea this year after Moon took office in May, including two intercontinental ballistic missile launches.
An unlimited warhead weight allowance would enable the South to strike North Korea with greater force in the event of a military conflict.
The missiles would still be bound by a flight-range cap of about 500 miles.
The two presidents made the decision in a phone call, a statement from the Blue House, Moon’s official residence, said.
They also agreed to apply the strongest sanctions and pressure on North Korea through the UN.
South Korea said earlier in the day it was talking to the United States about deploying nuclear armed aircraft carriers and strategic bombers to the Korean Peninsula.
“It would be good for strategic assets to be sent regularly to the Korean Peninsula, and some South Korean lawmakers and media are strongly pushing for tactical nuclear weapons” to be redeployed, South Korean Defense Minister Song Young-moo told the nation’s parliament during a hearing on the crisis.
We need to redeploy the tactical nuclear missiles to South Korea as of last month at the latest.
NORTH KOREA’S ULTIMATUM TO AMERICA
What the US response will mean for stability in Asia and beyond.
September 5, 2017
Caroline Glick
The nuclear confrontation between the US and North Korea entered a critical phase Sunday with North Korea’s conduct of an underground test of a thermonuclear bomb.
If the previous round of this confrontation earlier this summer revolved around Pyongyang’s threat to attack the US territory of Guam, Sunday’s test, together with North Korea’s recent tests of intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of reaching the continental US, was a direct threat to US cities.
In other words, the current confrontation isn’t about US superpower status in Asia, and the credibility of US deterrence or the capabilities of US military forces in the Pacific. The confrontation is now about the US’s ability to protect the lives of its citizens.
The distinction tells us a number of important things. All of them are alarming.
First, because this is about the lives of Americans, rather than allied populations like Japan and South Korea, the US cannot be diffident in its response to North Korea’s provocation. While attenuated during the Obama administration, the US’s position has always been that US military forces alone are responsible for guaranteeing the collective security of the American people.
Pyongyang is now directly threatening that security with hydrogen bombs. So if the Trump administration punts North Korea’s direct threat to attack US population centers with nuclear weapons to the UN Security Council, it will communicate profound weakness to its allies and adversaries alike.
Obviously, this limits the options that the Trump administration has. But it also clarifies the challenge it faces.
The second implication of North Korea’s test of their plutonium-based bomb is that the US’s security guarantees, which form the basis of its global power and its alliance system are on the verge of becoming completely discredited.
In an interview Sunday with Fox News’s Trish Regan, former US ambassador to the UN John Bolton was asked about the possible repercussions of a US military assault against North Korea for the security of South Korea.
Regan asked, “What are we risking though if we say we’re going to go in with strategic military strength?… Are we going to end up with so many people’s lives gone in South Korea, in Seoul because we make that move?” Bolton responded with brutal honesty.
“Let me ask you this: how do you feel about dead Americans?” In other words, Bolton said that under prevailing conditions, the US faces the painful choice between imperiling its own citizens and imperiling the citizens of an allied nation. And things will only get worse. Bolton warned that if North Korea’s nuclear threat is left unaddressed, US options will only become more problematic and limited in the years to come.
This then brings us to the third lesson of the current round of confrontation between the US and North Korea.
If you appease an enemy on behalf of an ally then you aren’t an ally.
And eventually your alliance become empty of all meaning.
For 25 years, three successive US administrations opted to turn a blind eye to North Korea’s nuclear program in large part out of concern for South Korea.
Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama all sought to appease North Korea’s aggressive nuclear adventurism because they didn’t believe they had a credible military option to deal with it.
In the 1980s, North Korea developed and deployed a conventional arsenal of bombs and artillery along the demilitarized zone capable of vaporizing Seoul.
Any US military strike against North Korea’s nuclear installation it was and continues to be argued, would cause the destruction of Seoul and the murder of millions of South Koreans.
So US efforts to appease Pyongyang on behalf of Seoul emptied the US-South Korean alliance of meaning. The US can only serve as the protector of its allies, and so assert its great power status in the Pacific and worldwide, if it prevents its allies from being held hostage by its enemies.
And now, not only does the US lack a clear means of defending South Korea, and Japan, America itself is threatened by the criminal regime it demurred from effectively confronting.
Regardless of the means US President Donald Trump decides to use to respond to North Korea’s provocative actions and threats to America’s national security, given the nature of the situation, it is clear that the balance of forces on the ground cannot and will not remain as they have been.
If the US strikes North Korea in a credible manner and successfully diminishes its capacity to physically threaten the US, America will have taken the first step towards rebuilding its alliances in Asia.
On the other hand, if the current round of hostilities does not end with a significant reduction of North Korea’s offensive capabilities, either against the US or its allies, then the US will be hard pressed to maintain its posture as a Pacific power. So long as Pyongyang has the ability to directly threaten the US and its allies, US strategic credibility in East Asia will be shattered.
This then brings us to China.
China has been the main beneficiary of North Korea’s conventional and nuclear aggression and brinksmanship.
This state of affairs was laid bare in a critical way last month.
In mid-August, Trump’s then chief strategist Steve Bannon was preparing a speech Trump was set to deliver that would have effectively declared a trade war against China in retaliation for its predatory trade practices against US companies and technology. The speech was placed in the deep freeze – and Bannon was forced to resign his position – when North Korea threatened to attack the US territory of Guam with nuclear weapons. The US, Trump’s other senior advisers argued, couldn’t declare a trade war against China when it needed China’s help to restrain North Korea.
So by enabling North Korea’s aggression against the US and its allies, China has created a situation where the US has become neutralized as a strategic competitor.
Rather than advance its bilateral interests – like curbing China’s naval aggression in the South China Sea – in its contacts with China, the US is forced into the position of supplicant, begging China to restrain North Korea in order to avert war.
If the US does not act to significantly downgrade North Korea’s offensive capabilities now, when its own territory is being threatened, it is difficult to see how the US will be able to develop an effective strategy for coping with China’s rise as an economic and strategic rival in Asia and beyond. That is, the US’s actions now in response to North Korea’s threat to its national security will determine whether or not the US will be in a position to develop and implement a wider strategy for maintaining its capacity to project its economic and military power in the Pacific in the near and long term.
Finally, part of the considerations that need to inform US action now involve what North Korea’s success in developing a nuclear arsenal under the noses of successive US administrations means for the future of nuclear proliferation.
In all likelihood, unless the North Korean nuclear arsenal is obliterated, Pyongyang’s nuclear triumphalism will precipitate a spasm of nuclear proliferation in Asia and in the Middle East. The implications of this for the US and its allies will be far reaching.
Not only can Japan and South Korea be reasonably expected to develop nuclear arsenals. Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan and other inherently unstable Arab states can be expected to develop or purchase nuclear arsenals in response to concerns over North Korea and its ally Iran with its nuclear weapons program linked to Pyongyang’s.
In other words, if the US does not respond in a strategically profound way to Pyongyang now, it will not only lose its alliance system in Asia, it will see the rapid collapse of its alliance system and superpower status in the Middle East.
Israel, for one, will be imperiled by the sudden diffusion of nuclear power.
Monday morning, North Korea followed up its thermonuclear bomb test with a spate of threats to destroy the United States. These threats are deadly even if North Korea doesn’t attack the US with its nuclear weapons. If the US does not directly defeat North Korea in a clear-cut way now, its position as a superpower in Asia and worldwide will be destroyed and its ability to defend its own citizens will be called into question with increasing frequency and lethality.

The above article is very important, it spells out in detail things I have been saying and clarifies the motivies of China in supporting North Korea and encouraging them to push the US into a war. If we don’t fight North Korea and removed the threat to the US and our allies our standing as a good ally is destroyed all around the world and our ability to protect the US homeland is greatly weakened. If on the other hand we fight a war with North Korea China is still in the position that they currently hold. Their ability to advance claims on the South China Sea is greatly lessened but they know that unless the US is destroyed as a good ally that ability is iffy at best.
As for the causalities of our allies, if we don’t fight they will have to develop nuclear deterrents of their own (assuming one or more don’t already have either them or the components in the basement). And since we will have been proven to lack the capabilities and will to protect our allies our allies in the Middle East and in Europe will question if they don’t need organic protection. This means nuclear proliferation in the Middle East and probably in Eastern Europe. Which guarantees that WWIII will go nuclear
Action will cause a horrendous number of causalities but inaction will cause that number to be raised by at least one order of magnitude if not more.
Thank you, Richard. One single sentence in Glick’s excellent article spells out everything in plain language:
“If you appease an enemy on behalf of an ally then you aren’t an ally.”
Without a proverbial “Sword of Damocles” as some sort of deterrent, what have you got left, a sixteen ton weight?
Just linked below, didn’t see this one.
I was about to comment: “Sounds like Richard and Caroline have been communing.”

“Kuwait has handed over the Chairman of the new Al-Jazeera Al-Arabiya channel to the Saudi Arabian authorities, Al-Rai newspaper has reported. Fayez Bin Damkh is a Saudi citizen.
It is almost two weeks since the Kuwaiti authorities raided the headquarters of the channel, which is due to launch soon, and confiscated its broadcasting equipment. According to the Kuwaiti Ministry of Information, the channel has been established without a licence.
Bin Damkh has described the channel, which was supposed to broadcast from Kuwait, as a “political” station that will restore the Arabs’ confidence in politicised television news and current affairs. Local media sources said that the channel’s promotional material was considered to be “interference” in the political affairs of the Gulf in general and Saudi Arabia in particular.”

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-41161133
“A four-year-old Italian girl has died of cerebral malaria in northern Italy, a region free of the disease, in what doctors see as a very mysterious case.
Sofia Zago died in Brescia on Sunday night, after being rushed to hospital with a high fever on Saturday.
Italy is free of the Anopheles mosquito that carries cerebral malaria, the deadliest form of the blood disease. But after a scorching August, some fear that it might have reached Italy.
A flight could have brought it in.
Sofia had been on holiday with her parents at Bibione, an Adriatic resort near Venice.
“It’s the first time in my 30-year career that I’ve seen a case of malaria originating in Trentino,” said Dr Claudio Paternoster, an infectious diseases specialist at Trento’s Santa Chiara Hospital.
Since the 1950s, Italy has not had a malaria problem because mosquito-infested marshes were drained.
Trento, where the girl’s malaria was diagnosed on Saturday, lies in the foothills of the Alps.
There is speculation that Sofia might have caught malaria from one of two children treated for it at the Trento hospital after 15 August. They had caught it in Africa, and recovered.
There was a break before Sofia’s emergency readmission to the hospital at the weekend – and it is not clear what had prompted her earlier stay there.
The Plasmodium Falciparum parasite carried by the Anopheles mosquito can kill a human within 24 hours…”

Woman faces six Grenfell Tower fraud charges (theguardian, Sep 5, 2017)
https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/sep/05/woman-faces-six-grenfell-tower-charges
“A woman is to appear in court charged with six counts of fraud related to the Grenfell Tower fire.
Joyce Msokeri is accused of making fraudulent claims for the support being offered to survivors.
The 46-year-old from Sutton, south London, was arrested on 25 July and charged on 4 September. She will appear on Tuesday before Westminster magistrates court, in central London.
She is the second person to be charged with fraud in relation to the fire. Anh Nhu Nguyen, 52, pleaded not guilty to two counts of the offence after being accused of pretending his family died in the fire to claim almost £10,000 from the victims’ relief fund. His trial is scheduled to start in early December…”
Homeless children sniff glue to take ‘away the pain’ of surviving Somalia’s streets (usatoday, Sep 5, 2017)
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2017/09/05/somalia-children-homeless-african-cities/613912001/
“Plastic bottles litter the ground as children emerge from an abandoned mud-brick building in this hot, dusty East African city.
The dirty bottles used for sniffing glue are a visible clue of what life is like for these homeless kids. “It takes away the pain I have,” Mohammed, 13, said, looking down at his sand-covered feet as other children take a hit of glue nearby. “The glue helps me go to sleep.” …”
I wish you didn’t deserve the truth.
In America, all plastic model glue is infused with mustard oil to make its inhalation noxious.
To the eternal shame of US producers, it took YEARS to have these same manufacturers finally introduce such irritants (in overseas shipments) as a way of deterring inhalation of their fumes; a common method of obtaining brain-damaging psychoactive effects from these toluene-based compounds.
This is a clear-cut case of American companies placing profit before human health and well-being. May all of them rot in deepest hell for their greed.

Boko Haram resurgence kills 381 civilians since April: Amnesty (reuters, Sep 5, 2017)
http://af.reuters.com/article/africaTech/idAFKCN1BG12I-OZATP
“The Islamist militant group Boko Haram has killed 381 civilians in Nigeria and Cameroon since the beginning of April, rights group Amnesty International said on Tuesday, a testament to the militant group’s deadly resurgence.
The Nigerian military has repeatedly said Boko Haram has been “defeated”. But in recent months, it has carried out a string of lethal suicide bombings and other high-profile attacks on towns and an oil exploration team.
The number of deaths since April 1 is more than double that for the preceding five months, Amnesty said…”
Open Arms: Finland Indulging Daesh Defectors With Increased Social Benefits (sputniknews, Sep 5, 2017)
https://sputniknews.com/europe/201709051057094226-finland-daesh-defectors/
“Like its Nordic neighbors, Finland has “exported” its fair share of jihadists to the Middle East, who are now returning “home” after a streak of Daesh defeats. To tackle this problem, Finnish officials are considering providing apartments and social services to Daesh returnees out of turn.
Dozens of Finnish Daesh defectors may have picked a lucky lottery ticket, as Finnish officials are now seriously considering providing former terrorist organization members with extra social services to reintegrate back into society.
Finland’s Interior Ministry called for cooperation between the relevant bodies to increase the level of integration by providing apartments and livelihoods to repentant jihadists, the Finnish daily Ilta-Sanomat reported.
From a moral standpoint, however, it would be problematic to provide Daesh defectors with extras ahead of others, while making ordinary citizens wait for long periods of time to receive state-funded housing, the Finnish newspaper noted. This could be perceived as encouraging terrorist behavior. According to the Interior Ministry, social workers will have to solve this problem in practice….”

Canadian Muslim Website Publishes Article Defending ‘Medical Benefits’ of Female Circumcision (breitbart, Sep 5, 2017)
http://www.breitbart.com/london/2017/09/05/calgary-muslim-website-defends-medical-benefits-female-circumcision/
“A Muslim website based in the Canadian city of Calgary has published an article defending the practice of female genital mutilation (FGM) claiming that there are medical benefits if part of a woman’s genitals are removed, and saying it is justified by Islam.
The article, written by pro-FGM author and journalist Asiff Hussein, claims that “Misogynists and Feminists” are “denigrating” the practice which he claims has medical benefits for women.
The website’s contributor advocates for the removal of the prepuce, a layer of skin on a woman’s genitals, claiming that the operation is not FGM, but rather “female circumcision” as it does not remove the clitoris.
His definition runs counter to the World Health Organization (WHO) who define FGM as, “all procedures involving partial or total removal of the external female genitalia or other injury to the female genital organs for non-medical reasons”, and add that there are no known health benefits.
Hussein recognises the WHO definition but blames the lack of pro-FGM research on “Islamophobic sentiments expressed by a largely Jewish controlled media”.
Many have also dismissed FGM as a local cultural practice with no links to the religion of Islam itself. Hussein disagreed saying that there is a reference to FGM in the sayings of the prophet Mohammed, also known as the Hadith.
Comments on the article show a resounding rejection of Hussein’s arguments with some saying that the practice is “barbaric” and others accused practitioners of child abuse. One user went questioned whether or not the article was satire.
FGM procedures on those under the age of 18 or without medical reasons, is currently illegal in Canada, according to the Canadian Criminal Code. Despite this, some claim that Canadian girls have been taken overseas to have the procedure performed and FGM practitioners have entered Canada to perform the operation within Canada as well.
In the UK, the number of FGM cases is estimated to be as high as 5,000 in the last year alone and so far no one has been prosecuted in connection with the practice. Earlier this year, the National Health Service (NHS) estimated that there were new cases of FGM being reported or treated in the UK every hour.
France has taken a much different approach to the UK and Canada and since banning FGM in 1983 has criminally prosecuted hundreds of practitioners.
In April, the United States saw its first charges for FGM when three individuals were charged in Michigan. A federal investigation into a wider conspiracy followed in July, including investigations in Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago.”

Azerbaijan ‘operated secret $3bn secret slush fund’ (BBC, Sep 5, 2017)
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-41156933
“Azerbaijan’s ruling elite operated a secret $2.8bn (£2.2bn) slush fund for two years to pay off European politicians and make luxury purchases, an investigation shows.
The money was allegedly channelled through four UK-based opaque companies.
People said to have been paid include European politicians who adopted a favourable attitude to the government.
There is no suggestion that all the recipients were aware of the original source of the money, it added.
The secret fund, nicknamed the Azerbaijan Laundromat, operated for two years until 2014, according to the investigation, carried out by a consortium of European newspapers and published by the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP)..
The origin of the money was unclear, the report said, but there was “ample evidence of its connection to the family of President Ilham Aliyev”.
There has been no immediate reaction from Mr Aliyev or Azerbaijan’s government…”
Lake Chad region still needs financial help, aid group says (abcnews, Sep 5, 2017)
http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/lake-chad-region-financial-aid-group-49624896
“The Norwegian Refugee Council says nearly 800,000 children under the age of 5 are severely malnourished in Nigeria, Niger, Cameroon and Chad because of lack of sufficient humanitarian funding.
The group’s head, Jan Egeland, says that six months after countries pledged financial support to the Lake Chad region, “57 percent of the $2.2 billion needed to meet the most basic humanitarian needs in 2017 are still lacking.”
Egeland said Tuesday that a conference in Berlin on Wednesday with representatives from Germany, Norway and the United Nations, plus the four countries surrounding Lake Chad, must have humanitarian funding and access at the top of the agenda.
The region is suffering from several years of Boko Haram’s Islamic extremist insurgency.”
French journalists on trial accused of defaming Azerbaijan (abcnews, Sep 5, 2017)
http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/french-journalists-trial-accused-defaming-azerbaijan-49624692
“Two French journalists are on trial accused by Azerbaijan’s government of defamation for calling the country a “dictatorship.”
Media freedom activists see the unusual trial as a dangerous precedent by a foreign government to intimidate journalists and export censorship beyond its own borders.
Azerbaijan sued journalists Elise Lucet and Laurent Richard for defamation over a 2015 investigative report for France-2 television. They are on trial Tuesday in the Paris suburb of Nanterre.
Media watchdog Reporters Without Borders is testifying for the defense, as are an Azerbaijani journalist and human rights activists living in exile.
Oil-rich Azerbaijan’s government has long faced criticism for alleged human rights abuses and suppression of dissent. Its president Ilham Aliyev succeeded his father as long-time leader and secured sweeping new powers in a recent referendum.”
Putin warns U.S. not to supply Ukraine with defensive weapons
XIAMEN, China (Reuters) – Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday that any decision by the United States to supply defensive weapons to Ukraine would fuel the conflict in eastern Ukraine and possibly prompt pro-Russian separatists to expand their campaign there.
On a visit to Kiev last month, U.S. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said he was actively reviewing sending lethal weapons to Ukraine to help it defend itself, an option that previous U.S. president Barack Obama vetoed.
Ukraine and Russia are at loggerheads over a war in eastern Ukraine between pro-Russian separatists and Ukrainian government forces that has killed more than 10,000 people in three years. Kiev accuses Moscow of sending troops and heavy weapons to the region, which Russia denies.
Putin, answering a question after a BRICS summit in China about the possibility of the United States supplying Ukraine with heavy weapons, said it was for Washington to decide whom it sold or gave weapons to, but he warned against the move, something Kiev wants.

The Islamization of Gypsies – the biggest threat to Bulgaria’s territorial integrity
This is one of the conclusions in the National Intelligence Agency’s report for 2017.
“The marginalised communities in the ghettos were becoming more and more easily succeptible to the influence of forreighn emmisaries that came from Turkey and the Islamic world. The establishment of seperate enclaves of Gypsies created conditions for ideas, related to separation of Bulgarian territories. ”
Bulgarian have been in top 3 for Europe’s fastest disappearing nations for at least 10 years.At present 45% of first graders’mother tongue is not Bulgarian. Roma will be 20% of people of working age, and by 2050 they are expected to become a majority.

BREITBART – First Look: Pamela Geller Bus Ads for ‘Can’t We Talk About This? The Islamic Jihad Against Free Speech’ (Exclusive)
Thanks to a Muslim hate group, my organization, the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI), can run our pro-freedom ads again in New York City.
AFDI has tangled with New York City’s Metropolitan Transit Authority on more than one occasion. They refused to run our ads, we sued multiple times, and we won multiple times. So for the first time in NYC transit history, the MTA banned political and issue related ads: the Geller ban.
But then a Muslim hate group wanted to run ads for their political film despite the ban, so they, too, sued the city, claiming that their political movie, The Muslims Are Coming, was not a political or issue related ad. They sued and they won, and all I can say is thank you.
Because of this Muslim lawsuit, we can run our ads again. And so we have. And they are brilliant.
My new ads announce the imminent release of Can’t We Talk About This? The Islamic Jihad Against Free Speech, a shocking new film and follow-up video series detailing the concerted effort by international organizations to compel the U.S. and other Western countries to curtail the freedom of speech and criminalize criticism of Islam.
Featuring exclusive new interviews with me, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Geert Wilders, Mark Steyn, Douglas Murray, Ezra Levant, Lars Vilks, Garland Muhammad cartoon contest winner Bosch Fawstin, and many other heroes of freedom, this web series will be the first ever to expose the war on free speech. It is certain to shock the American public and awaken many. These interviews reveal events at Garland and its aftermath that have never before been made public, and demonstrate how far advanced the war on free speech really is.

Islam belongs to Germany, says Merkel
Berlin: German Chancellor Angela Merkel has said although “radical extremists” are perpetrating acts of terror in Europe, she still believed that “Islam belongs to Germany.”
Merkel made the remarks on Sunday at the TV duel with Martin Schulz, chancellor candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SPD), her major rival in the upcoming federal elections, as refugee and immigration issues are some of the prime focuses in the debate, Xinhua news agency reported.
Both Merkel and Schulz see no issue with Muslim immigration to Germany, but Merkel said the 2015 refugee crisis has left Germany with a “difficult task” of integrating new arrivals into society, making sure they find places in educational institutions and the labor market.

Blacklists are ugly things. They’re how you terrorize and intimidate people. They’re a weapon of hate. And Color of Change, an extremist group, is using blacklists to smear all conservatives as racists.
Color of Change, the organization founded by Van Jones, a 9/11 Truther and former Communist, has circulated a blacklist to PayPal, Discover, Visa, Master Card and American Express that falsely and libelously groups together a black Harlem church, the David Horowitz Freedom Center, an ex-Muslim organization, Jihad Watch and others as “white supremacists” alongside actual Neo-Nazis.
But Color of Change’s definition of “white supremacist” is Republican.
“We must hold every enabler of #Trump accountable,” Color of Change boss Rashad Robinson had tweeted. “#Enablers of white supremacist & nazi sympathizers are not neutral, they are complicit.”
In another Tweet, he laid out his real agenda for bringing down Trump. “Continuing to ensure there are consequences for #enablers – corporate, political and cultural – is critical to forcing him out. Isolate him!”

Shooting the Messenger in Sweden

On August 8, I wrote here in praise of Sylvi Listhaug, Norway’s Minister of Migration and Integration, who has criticized hijab in her country’s schools, warned that there are “wolves in sheep’s clothing” in Norway’s Muslim community, and complained about so-called asylum seekers who have been taken in by Norway but who vacation in the countries they supposedly fled from. Recently, Listhaug visited Rinkeby, the Stockholm suburb that is internationally notorious for having become one of the worst of that nation’s large and ever-increasing number of no-go zones. Listhaug said that she was there to study the nightmarish stew of gang crime, welfare dependency, self-segregation, and Islam that has come to be known as “Swedish conditions.” This explanation of her trip made total sense, since her most important job is to prevent Norway from coming any closer than it already is to those “conditions.”

Any flights by “refugees” to their country-of-origin are all one-way and passports or other travel documents are confiscated at the boarding gate. End of story.

Discover The Networks
Senator Bernie Sanders may have lost his bid for the Democratic presidential nomination, but the Marxist message of social and economic transformation which he articulated during the campaign marches onward. Among the most ardent disseminators of that message are the members of Our Revolution, a movement which was established last year by supporters of Sanders’s White House run. Seeking to “reclaim democracy for the working people of our country” by “harnessing the transformative energy” of the “political revolution” that Sanders led, Our Revolution is headed by a board of directors that includes former NAACP president Ben Jealous, Arab American Institute founder James Zogby, and former Sanders chief-of-staff Huck Gutman. Earlier this year, Our Revolution endorsed Rep. Keith Ellison – who has numerous ties to Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated Islamic groups and to Louis Farrakhan’s notoriously anti-Semitic Nation of Islam – for the position of Democratic National Committee chairman.

The Dire Consequence of America’s Retreat
For most of its history the United States has vacillated among different foreign policy philosophies. Today we face a world in which our rivals and enemies have been emboldened by our seeming retreat from being the dominant power a globalized economy needs to ensure order and stability. Our current inability to decide on a course of action, however, is a dangerous inflection point that may lead to increasing global disorder and the decline of America’s power to protect its security and interests.
When America was a new nation, it wanted to avoid the quarrels of the Old World and its “entangling alliances,” as Thomas Jefferson called them, echoing George Washington’s warning against “permanent alliances.” The United States should influence other nations as an “example” of ordered liberty, a sentiment famously expressed by John Quincy Adams in 1821: America should be a nation of “well-wishers to the freedom and independence of all,” but one that “goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy.”

The terrorist attack in Barcelona received the same reaction as all the large-scale terrorist attacks in Europe: tears, prayers, flowers, candles, teddy bears, and protestations that “Islam means peace “. When people gathered to demand tougher measures against the rising influence of Islamism across the continent, they were confronted by an “anti-fascist” rally. Muslims organized a demonstration to defend Islam; they claimed that Muslims living in Spain are the “main victims” of terrorism. The president of the Spanish Federation of Islamic Religious Societies, Mounir Benjelloun El Andaloussi, spoke of a “conspiracy against Islam” and said that terrorists were “instruments” of Islamophobic hatred. The mayor of Barcelona, ?? Ada Colau, cried in front of the cameras and said that her city would remain an “open city” for all immigrants. The governor of Catalonia, Carles Puigdemont, used almost the same language. Spain’s Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy, a conservative, was the only one who dared to call jihadist terrorism by its name. Almost all European journalists said Rajoy’s words were too harsh.
When “Progressivism” Crushes Muslim Women

https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/10931/progressives-muslim-women
In spite of repeated and verified accounts of the physical and sexual abuse of women and girls throughout Muslim parts of the world, Western feminists at best remain silent, and at worst supportive of the male oppressors.
It seems illogical for self-described “progressives” to turn a blind eye to the misery of fellow females forced to endure the kind of unimaginable treatment documented by best-selling authors Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Azar Nafisi. The reason for that is rooted in a regard for “multiculturalism” in which anti-Americanism and anti-Zionism are considered more vital than the victimization of women.

N Korea’s Ultimatum to America
The nuclear confrontation between the US and North Korea entered a critical phase Sunday with North Korea’s conduct of an underground test of a thermonuclear bomb.
If the previous round of this confrontation earlier this summer revolved around Pyongyang’s threat to attack the US territory of Guam, Sunday’s test, together with North Korea’s recent tests of intercontinental ballistic missiles capable of reaching the continental US, was a direct threat to US cities.

EU TERROR: Commissioner demands European intelligence system to tackle threat (express, Sep 5, 2017)
http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/850374/EU-terror-European-Commissioner-demands-European-intelligence-system
“SECURITY and intelligence services across Europe must work much more closely together to thwart future terror attacks, a senior EU official has warned.
European Commissioner for Home Affairs Dimitris Avramopoulos said co-operation needed to be “stepped up significantly”.
Mr Avramopoulos said: “I wonder if it is finally the time to be ambitious and bold, to overcome the security taboos of the past and finally work in order to build a European intelligence system.”
Speaking before the European Parliament’s Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs Committee, Mr Avramopoulos argued that had there been better co-ordination, terror attacks like those in Spain and Finland could have been averted.
He said: “If there was co-operation, information sharing and exchanging, maybe some of these tragic events could have been predicted and prevented.
“But let’s make one more political remark, I’m afraid that the deep state still resists.”
His comments echoed those of Europol chief Rob Wainwright who has called for more data sharing between the police and intelligence services to fight terrorism.
He said: “We know that many of the attackers have a criminal background.
“Let’s open up the databases to cross-check the information.”
He said police are doing a better job of sharing data than two years ago but added that “we need to go further.”
Younes Abouyaaqoub drove a van into pedestrians on La Rambla in Barcelona, Spain, killing 13 people at time and injuring at least 130 others, two of whom died I’m hospital in the following weeks.
The 22—year-old fled the attack on foot, then killed another man and stole his car to make his escape.
Nine hours after the Barcelona attack, five men thought to be members of the same terrorist cell drove into pedestrians in nearby Cambrils, killing one woman and injuring six others. All five attackers were shot and killed by police.
The night before the Barcelona attack, an explosion destroyed a house in the Spanish town of Alcanar and killed two members of the terrorist cell, including a 40-year-old Moroccan imam thought to be behind the atrocity.
The home had over 120 gas canisters inside, which police believe the cell was attempting to make into one large bomb or three smaller bombs to be placed in three vans which they had rented but which they accidentally detonated.
The following day, two people were killed and eight more wounded when a Moroccan immigrant went on the rampage in the Finnish town of Turku.
The 18-year-old suspect was arrested at the scene after being shot in the leg by officers.”

Religious Groups Slam Corbyn for Firing MP over ‘Courageous’ Grooming Gangs Warning (breitbart, Sep 5, 2017)
http://www.breitbart.com/london/2017/09/05/corbyn-firing-mp-warned-grooming/
“The heads of UK Sikh, Hindu, and Pakistani Christian organisations have said that Sarah Champion should not have been “sacked” from Labour’s front bench for speaking out on the racial aspect of grooming gangs.
“We commend Sarah Champion and the Muslim councillor Amina Lone for speaking up on a clear trend in criminality: the conviction of men of largely Pakistani Muslim heritage in sexual grooming cases”, they wrote in a letter to The Times.
Champion was forced to resign as shadow secretary of state for women and equalities after pointing out that Britain “has a problem with British Pakistani men raping and exploiting white girls”, in an article for The Sun last month.
The letter, signed by Lord Singh on behalf of the Network of Sikh Organisations and by groups including the British Pakistani Christian Association and Hindu Council UK, noted it is “not just white girls” who have been targeted by grooming gangs.
“For decades Hindu, Sikh and Christian organisations have raised concerns about grooming gangs. The latter have plagued our communities, so much so that a BBC documentary on the targeting of Sikhs was aired a few years ago.
“The common denominator is that victims almost always tend to be non-Muslim girls,” stated the signatories, adding: “We are dismayed by the Labour leadership’s weak response. We are not willing to see the betrayal of victims, who are being sacrificed on the altar of political correctness.
“It’s not racist or Islamophobic to raise a matter of significant public concern,” continued the letter, which praised Champion for “continu[ing] to make a courageous stand” on the issue, alleging that the Left “turns a blind eye to sex crimes”, and stating she would “rather be called a racist than turn a blind eye to child abuse”, since being pushed from Labour’s front bench.
The letter was signed by Lord Singh of Wimbledon, Network of Sikh Organisations and crossbencher; Mohan Singh, Sikh Awareness Society; Wilson Chowdhry, British Pakistani Christian Association; Satish Sharma, National Council of Hindu Temples; Anil Bhanot, Hindu Council UK; Trupti Patel, Hindu Forum of Britain; Ashish Joshi, Sikh Media Monitoring Group.
In response, a spokesman for Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn told the Daily Mail: “These heinous crimes are committed by people of all backgrounds.
“Stigmatising entire communities is wrong, and damages the interests of victims of sexual abuse and the rigorous investigation into the underlying causes of that abuse.”
The Labour leader has insisted that Champion left the shadow cabinet of her own accord, but at the time of her departure he said: “We are not going to blame any particular group, or demonise any particular group, the issue is one of safety of individuals.””
