Number of starving world wide hits 815 milion: wars in Syria, Yemen key drivers (memo, Sep 18, 2017)
https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20170918-number-of-starving-world-wide-hits-815-milion-wars-in-syria-yemen-key-drivers/
“The number of starving people in the world rose in 2016 after it had remained steady for the past 10 years. It increased by 38 million and reached 815 million, which is equal to 11% of the world’s population, according to new food security report issued by the UN.
According the report published on Friday by three UN agencies, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and the World Food Program (WFP), the increasing number of people suffering from hunger is the result of the spread of violent conflicts and climate shocks.”
Out of 815 million people who have suffered from hunger in the world in 2016, 489 million are living in conflict-stricken countries.
According to the report, the number of people suffering from hunger rose from 777 million in 2015 to 815 million last year.
The report put the blame on conflicts for the increasing number of starving people, but it warned that peaceful environments also suffer from “deteriorating food security along with the challenge that the economic shrinkage poses in relation to poor people’s food provisions.”
The new increase in the number of starving people is raising “a major concern and a challenge also to the international commitments to end starvation by 2030,” according to the report.
The food security situation has deteriorated particularly in 2016 in parts of sub-Saharan Africa and in south-eastern and western Asia.
UN agencies have identified 520 million people, who are suffering from hunger in Asia, 243 million in Africa and 42 million in Latin America and the Caribbean.
To support food production in the poorest regions of the world, the UN has called for agricultural investment for small-scale villagers in conjunction with large industrial investments currently being accomplished.
Famine in Yemen
The report also dealt with several other models of conflict-stricken countries, which lead to a noticeable upsurge in famine rates. In southern Sudan, for example, the conflict led to a widespread humanitarian catastrophe. Famine was declared in parts of Unity State in February 2017, and more than 4.9 million people (more than 42% of the population) have been suffering from severe food insecurity.
Food insecurity and violence have led to the depletion and loss of assets such as livestock and families’ main food sources such as existing crops, grain stocks. In the most affected areas by famine, food is used as a war weapon. The trade embargo and security threat leave the population isolated in swamps and unable to have access to food or health care.
According to the report, and until March 2017, an estimated number of 17 million people have been suffering from acute food insecurity and needed urgent humanitarian action. These people represent 60% of the total population. The nutritional situation has been exacerbated by the tragic collapse of health-care system and its infrastructure, which was also accompanied by the outbreak of cholera and other epidemics that have affected many provinces in 2016 and are still affecting them in 2017.
The Syrian War
According to the UN, about 85% of the population in Syria today live in striking poverty. An estimated number of 6.7 million people are suffering from acute food insecurity and in need for urgent humanitarian action.
The war has also destroyed the country’s infrastructure, and food production has become very low today, as almost half of the population is unable to satisfy their daily food needs.”
Indonesia needs to be vigilant to avoid becoming a home for terrorists again (asiancorrespondent , Sep 18, 2017)
https://asiancorrespondent.com/2017/09/indonesia-needs-vigilant-prevent-becoming-home-terrorists/#080EQ4ctCZYDwUDR.97
“AS BATTLE between Islamic State-aligned militants and state security forces in Marawi enters its fourth month, Indonesia is watching the events unfolding in the southern Philippines with increasing concern.
The situation on Mindanao – separated from the Indonesian islands of Kalimantan and Sulawesi only by the Celebes Sea – has raised fears that a new generation of battle-hardened jihadists may look to take advantage of the region’s porous maritime borders to spread their fundamentalist ideology and launch attacks in the archipelago home to the world’s largest Muslim population.
The threat from Islamist terror to Southeast Asia is at its highest level for more than a decade. At this critical juncture, Indonesia must seek to avoid a return to the dark days of the early 2000s, when Al-Qaeda linked terrorist groups such as Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) flourished and possessed the ability to launch mass-casualty attacks against civilians.
The 2002 bombings on the resort island of Bali – which claimed 202 lives – signalled the height of the epidemic, and prompted Indonesia’s authorities to launch a crackdown which had until recently stemmed the tide of attacks.
The co-ordinated assault on Jakarta by IS-aligned militants in January 2016 provided the first sign of a resurgence in Islamist terror in Indonesia. Since then, toughened counter-terror laws have been proposed and are currently being debated in parliament; yet the new measures have been criticised by human rights groups. In the context of the evolving risk from Islamist terror in Southeast Asia, it must be asked: are the laws necessary, and will they be enough to contain the threat?
The conflict in Marawi – which erupted on 23 May after IS-aligned militants resisted Philippine troops attempting to capture a key rebel leader – has proven the catalyst for jihadist violence in the region after several years of militant activity simmering below the surface.
Since the Syrian Civil War began in 2011, around 400 Indonesians have travelled to fight alongside extremist groups in Syria and Iraq. An unknown number of Indonesians have also gained combat skills and experience in Marawi, raising concerns they could return home to radicalise others and carry-out attacks – adding to the existing threat posed by jihadist fighters returning from the Middle East.
IS has bolstered its propaganda effort to target new recruits in the region, as it seeks to establish a Southeast Asian province to reinvigorate its supporters as it loses ground in Iraq and Syria. Islamic State has appealed directly to Indonesians through social media channels, encouraging radicalised individuals to either join the fight in Marawi or carry-out lone wolf attacks. These calls have added to existing concerns over radicalisation within the prison system, as well as through pesantren – or Islamic schools – run by extremists linked to domestic terror groups.
Even before the outbreak of violence in Marawi, terror plots in Indonesia were already on the rise. The attacks last January were followed by a series of foiled plots against high-profile targets, with one cell planning to bomb the Presidential Palace in Jakarta.
More recently, several attacks have slipped through the net: on 24 May, two suicide bombers detonated their devices at a bus terminal in Jakarta, killing three people; whilst on 25 June, suspected ISIS militants stabbed to death a police officer in the western city of Medan. Indonesia’s elite police counter-terrorism force, Detachment 88 – established in the wake of the 2002 Bali bombings – has its work cut out to prevent further attacks. The unit foiled 15 plots and arrested 170 alleged terrorists in 2016 alone.
This upsurge in jihadist activity evidences a worrying trend that Indonesia is becoming increasingly fertile ground for terrorist recruitment.
Observers have witnessed a creeping Islamisation of society in recent decades as international air travel and technology have enabled the transfer of a more radical brand of Islam from the Middle East, confronting Indonesia’s traditionally-secular society and tolerant version of Islam – sometimes referred to as ‘Archipelago Islam’ – which encompasses varied strands of thought across a geographically diverse nation.
On the back of this gradual ideological shift Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) has seen once again its membership increase, whilst several other domestic terror groups have pledged allegiance to IS…”
Iraqi Vice President Says Iraq Will Not Accept ‘Another Israel’ (sputniknews, Sep 18, 2017)
https://sputniknews.com/middleeast/201709181057472145-iraq-maliki-tolerate-kurdistan-referendum/
“In July Iraqi Vice President Nouri Maliki told Sputnik that Kurdistan would be unable to secede because it would be against the constitution of Iraq. In response to Barzani’s announcement to hold an independence referendum no matter what, Maliki has warned that the Iraqi government will not tolerate the establishment of “another Israel.”
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Iraqi Vice President Nouri Maliki, an opponent of Kurdistan independence, said Sunday that Baghdad will not put up with the emergence of “another Israel” in Iraq’s north, referring to the upcoming independence referendum in Iraqi Kurdistan.
“We will not allow the establishment of another Israel in northern Iraq,” Maliki said, following a meeting with the US ambassador in Iraq, as quoted by the Iraqi News outlet.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Tel Aviv was supportive of Kurdish efforts to create their own state. He expressed a “positive attitude” toward a Kurdish state in the Kurdish areas of Iraq, calling the Kurds “brave, pro-Western people who share our [Israeli] values.” Iraqi Vice President Maliki, on the contrary, stressed that the independence bid was unconstitutional, and urged the cancellation of the referendum.
On June 7, President of Iraqi Kurdistan Masoud Barzani announced his intention to hold a referendum on the independence of the autonomous region from Iraq on September 25, a decision which created an uproar in Baghdad and several other countries, including Turkey and Iran.
Several Western countries proposed a postponement of the planned independence referendum if a suitable alternative could be found. Barzani, however, ruled out any alternative to the independence plebiscite and called on the Kurdish people to cast their votes on September 25. He explained that these offers do not contain the guarantees that would be suitable for the residents of the region and thus the referendum will take place as scheduled.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres expressed that the referendum on Iraqi Kurdistan independence was bad timing, as a unilateral decision to hold it now would detract from the need to fight Daesh while delaying the much-needed reconstruction of the regained territories. Observing the sovereignty, territorial integrity and unity of Iraq, Guterres urged both sides to hold constructive dialogue.”

Exclusive: Facebook Silences Rohingya Reports of Ethnic Cleansing
The social network says it’s committed to helping the world ‘share their stories.’ But when people from Burma’s oppressed minority post, their stories have a habit of disappearing.
Rohingya activists—in Burma and in Western countries—tell The Daily Beast that Facebook has been removing their posts documenting the ethnic cleansing of Rohingya people in Burma (also known as Myanmar). They said their accounts are frequently suspended or taken down.
The Rohingya people are a Muslim ethnic minority group in Burma. They face extraordinary persecution and violence from the Burmese military; military personnel torch villages, murder refugees, and force hundreds of thousands of people to flee their homes.
Human rights watchdogs say the persecution has intensified in recent months, and a top UN official described a renewed offensive by the Burmese military as “a textbook example of ethnic cleansing.” Hundreds of thousands of Rohingya refugees have fled to Bangladesh. Sen. John McCain, who chairs the Senate Armed Services Committee, has called for reduced military cooperation with the Burmese government because of the violence.

“Armed special forces troops are being deployed on the London Underground and have been told to ‘shoot to kill’ terrorists.
Members of the SAS and the Special Reconnaissance Regiment have been told to target terrorists who are on trains, buses and planes.It is believed some of the troops will patrol the busy tube network in the capital in pairs and will be disguised as couples.
They will be armed with Glock 9mm semi-automatic pistols so they can ‘take down’ potential gunmen and suicide bombers, reports the Daily Star Sunday.

Indian government says Rohingya Muslims are security threat (abcnews, Sep 18, 2017)
http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/indian-government-rohingya-muslims-security-threat-49924203
“The Indian government said Monday that it has evidence there are extremists who pose a threat to the country’s security among the Rohingya Muslims who have fled Myanmar and settled in many Indian cities.
India’s Supreme Court was hearing a petition filed on behalf of two Rohingya refugees challenging a government decision to deport the ethnic group from India.
The lawyer representing the Rohingya said the decision was discriminatory.
“This is clearly a case of religious discrimination and an attempt to arouse an anti-Muslim feeling,” Prashant Bhushan said.
He said the government had no evidence of the presence of militants among the refugees who fled a crackdown by the Myanmar government.
The government the decision on whether Rohingya refugees should be allowed to remain in the country should be made by the government.
“The court has no business to interfere in such matters of what they call illegal immigrants or illegal migrants,” the government said in an affidavit.
Additional Solicitor General Tushar Mehta told the court that the government will provide evidence of Rohingya links with extremist Islamic groups and illegal transfer of money at the next hearing.
Many Rohingya living in India fled persecution in Myanmar in 2012. According to the United Nations, hundreds of thousands of Rohingya have fled Myanmar since a renewed military crackdown began on Aug. 25. About 412,000 of them fled to Bangladesh, but some have also reached India, Nepal and Pakistan in recent weeks.
The next hearing in the case is set for Oct. 3.”

Military chief of staff Gen. Eduardo Ano said about 10 foreign militants, mostly Malaysians and Indonesians, were still fighting together with a few dozen local militants in a lakeside community in Marawi city after a series of battle setbacks.
Ano and Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana presented in a news conference a Catholic priest, Father Teresito Soganub, who they said was rescued along with a teacher by troops late Saturday after a mosque used as snipers’ post and bomb-making area by the militants fell after a five-hour battle…”
Mystery Shocks at North Korea’s Sacred Volcano Trigger Eruption Fears After Nuclear Test
China has limited access to a nature reserve on its border with North Korea after mysterious seismic shakes at the rogue nation’s nuclear test site were detected less than 10 minutes after it launched a missile earlier this month.
Beijing reportedly closed the site over fears that underground detonations by the North Koreans at a facility near Punggye-ri could lead to rockslides and even trigger an eruption of the active volcano Mount Paektu, which is sacred to North Korea and located right on the border between the two countries.
The notices from Chinese authorities, restricting access to the Changbaishan National Nature Reserve, were posted on China’s state-regulated analog to Twitter Weibo, South Korea’s Donga Ilbo newspaper reported Thursday. It covers a radius of around 70 miles from the Punggye-ri test site.

Can the US Military Re-Invent the Microchip for the AI Era?
As conventional microchip design reaches its limits, DARPA is pouring money into the specialty chips that might power tomorrow’s autonomous machines.
The coming AI revolution faces a big hurdle: today’s microchips.
It’s one thing to get a bunch of transistors on an integrated circuit to crunch numbers, even very large ones. But what the brain does is far more difficult. Processing vast amounts of visual data for use by huge, multi-cellular organism is very different from the narrow calculations of conventional math. The algorithms that will drive tomorrow’s autonomous cars, planes, and programs will be incredibly data-intensive, with needs well beyond what conventional chips were ever designed for. This is one reason for the hype surrounding quantum computing and neurosynaptic chips.
That challenge has a sister predicament: the end of Moore’s Law. The integrated circuit revolution that gave birth to the modern computer, smartphone, and basically all of Silicon Valley is in its twilight. In the 1960s, Gordon Moore observed that the number of transistors per square inch on integrated circuits was doubling roughly 18 months. That won’t be true after 2020, according to Robert Colwell, formerly of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA
That poses a big problem for the Defense Department. In 2014, Defense One asked DARPA director Arati Prabhakar about it:

“There’s a $300 billion-a-year global semiconductor industry that cares deeply about the answer of what comes next,” Prabhakar said. Apple, for example, is said to be working on a processor devoted specifically to AI-related tasks. But DARPA has money in the game as well, The magic of the integrated circuit — the reason why it will be so hard to replace — is that it was “a computational unit that you could use to do the broadest possible class of problems,” she said. The way forward will be building chips for specific purposes. “If you’re willing to work on specialized classes of problems, you can actually get a lot more out of specialized architectures,” she said. “Special architectures will give us many more steps forward.”
Bottom line: there is no silver-bullet replacement for the integrated circuit on the horizon. But you could achieve something Moore’s Law-like by creating chips that could crunch lots of a specific type of data. Some of these already exist; they’re called application-specific integrated circuit chips, or ASICs.

On Wednesday, DARPA announced several new next-generation chip design initiatives meant to build off that approach.
One, Software Defined Hardware, seeks “a hardware/software system that allows data-intensive algorithms to run at near ASIC efficiency without the cost, development time or single application limitations associated with ASIC development.”
A second program, Domain-Specific System on a Chip, takes a dual approach, letting architects “mix and match general purpose, special purpose (e.g., ASICs), and hardware accelerator coprocessors, as well as memory and [input/output] elements, into easily programmed [system on a chip] for applications within specific technology domains.”
In many ways, the premise of the program comes again from Moore’s 1965 paper. In this case, it’s his observation that, eventually, “the matching and tracking of similar components in integrated structures will allow the design of differential amplifiers of greatly improved performance.”
“With an eye toward the times we now live in, he laid out the technical directions to explore when the conditions under which scaling will be the primary means for advancement are no longer met,” DARPA program managers observed in the Broad Agency Announcement for “Page Three Investments” — an allusion to the actual page in Moore’s paper where the ideas first appear.
The two programs join several others in the Electronics Resurgence Initiative, a $216 million effort to create chip designs for 2030 to 2050.

Cyberwarfare Defense
958 views
This clip really did not specifically deal with “Cyberwarfare Defense”.
Its early discussion of Moore’s Law was somewhat pertinent but did not adequately address how current technology will bridge from existing, general purpose (e.g., CPU-based systems) over to tailored architectures, as in ASICs (Application Specific Integrated Circuits).
As Arati Prabhakar noted, extracting higher levels of performance will now require exquisitely customized circuit structures whose layout and configuration are precisely adapted to their exact function instead of being able to use generic “one-size-fits-all” components.
While this design and prototyping process is going to be extremely labor intensive and incredibly expensive, America will be able to exploit its wealth of innovative expertise in ways that Communist China can only have febrile wet dreams about.
This may well be the reason why the video clip ostensibly dealt with “Cyberwarfare Defense”. As in how the Chicoms can only hope to steal our designs because they are decades behind the USA in this highly specialized field of specialized integrated circuit design and development.
Please keep in mind that the entire concept of ASICs is well over 40 years-old. If anything, prior to the advent of microprocessors, all but the most very basic devices—as in, logic gates, shift registers, ADCs (Analog-to Digital Converters) or DACs (Digital to Analog Converters), bulk storage (memory), and similar “building blocks”—were ASICs. It required CPUs and SOC (System On a Chip) integrated circuits to change that once-prevailing arrangement.
As fabrication techniques like ALD (Atomic Layer Deposition)—which address the need for layers with a thickness of a single molecule or atom—are being brought online to meet requirements of the 14 nm (nanometer), 10 nm, and, soon, 5nm gate length nodes, silicon (or even gallium arsenide) based chemistries will quickly cease to deliver the sort of long-term serviceability that enabled the past several decades of solid state device fabrication.
Again, ex-DARPA Director, Arati Prabhakar, merely scratched the surface of these challenges.
For instance, one emerging memory technology involves encoding binary data onto strands of DNA. While existing costs currently hover around $3,500 per megabyte (just like 1960s era semiconductor memory devices) imagine being able store all of the world’s existing data using a single kilogram of DNA. Then compare that to the megatons of server farms and gigawatts of electrical power consumption currently required to maintain the global database infrastructure. It would also consume several orders of magnitude less energy to operate than conventional disk or semiconductor-based storage technologies.
Instead of a 10 year lifespan, this biologically-based media would be good for a century and have a bit density of 10^19/cm^3 (per cubic centimeter), as in a mind-bending 215 petabytes (215,000 terabytes) per gram, instead of 10^13/cm^3 for disk drives or 10^16/cm^3 for silicon.
This biological media also could be grown in vats, as opposed to relying upon insanely energy-intensive and costly processes like monolithic crystal growth, ion implantation, photolithography, and molecular beam epitaxy (to name just a few).
As you might be able to tell, I’m in the middle of creating a college-level lecture presentation about nanotechnology and have been digging through reams of this weirdness.
Iraqi Kurdish referendum must be suspended – Iraqi PM (BBC, Sep 18, 2017)

The Supreme Court also ordered that the poll must be postponed until questions over its legality have been addressed.
Despite global opposition, the Kurdistan Regional Government backed the 25 September vote on Friday.
Iran, Turkey, the US, the UK and the UN have been among those voicing strong objections internationally.
There are concerns the referendum will provoke further instability in the country and hamper the battle against the Islamic State group.
Neighbouring Iran and Turkey – which both have Kurdish populations – also fear a Yes vote will bolster separatist movements in their countries.

Haley on North Korea: Mattis “Will Take Care of it” if Diplomacy Fails
N Ambassador Nikki Haley says if diplomacy doesn’t work with North Korea then Defense Secretary James Mattis will handle it.
Haley discussed the remarks in a talk show appearance Sunday and also talked about new sanctions on North Korea.
The UN ambassador said 90% of trade to North Korea has been cut off by the sanctions and that China’s trade with their neighbors has decreased by 90% as well.
Haley stressed the U.S. has sought diplomatic solutions to the situation with North Korea, but did not shy away from the possibility of using the pentagon’s military options.
“We’ve pretty much exhausted all the things that we can do at the security council at this point,” said Haley. Now I said yesterday I’m perfectly happy kicking this over to general Mattis because he has plenty of military options, so I think that the ‘fire and fury’ while he said this is what we could to do to North Korea. We wanted to be responsible and go through all diplomatic means to get their attention first. If that doesn’t work general Mattis will take care of it.”
Haley later said the U.S. will quote “destroy” North Korea if it has to defend itself or it’s allies.

H.R. Mcmaster on North Korea: ‘Need to Move With Great Deal of Urgency’
National Security Adviser H.R. Mcmaster says that North Korea is very close to developing a nuclear weapon capable of reaching the U.S.
During an interview Sunday, Mcmaster also stressed sanctions as a crucial focal point in dealing with the regime.
He also commented on the president’s response to the missile launch saying there are many options on the table.
“And this regime is so close now to threatening the United States and others with a nuclear weapon, that we really have to move with a great deal of urgency on sanctions, on diplomacy and on preparing if necessary, a military option,” said Mcmaster.
Mcmaster also defended the president’s tweet calling Kim Jong Un “rocket man,” saying he’s right because that’s where the rockets are coming from.

We have a little time but not much.
This is going to require some serious brinkmanship.
Not with North Korea, but with China.
Beijing needs to be set up for a serious fall if they don’t turn this around.
We also need to ensure that Russia doesn’t meddle as well.
I don’t think Russia will openly meddle and they will do their best to see that there is no way to trace any aid give back to them. They want us weakened by they don’t want to fight us to achieve that goal.
China on the other hand is rapidly approaching the point where no matter what they do their economy is going to collapse. If we wait too long there is no advantage in helping us. That is why the timing is tricky, we have to put the pressure on early enough to let China survive but not so early they will refuse.
“…we have to put the pressure on early enough to let China survive but not so early they will refuse.”
As I said, “brinkmanship”. I can only hope that Trump is up to the task. Clinton, Shrub, and 0 sure as hell weren’t.
Korean peninsula draws range of military drills in show of force against North Korea
BEIJING/SEOUL (Reuters) – The U.S. military staged bombing drills with South Korea over the Korean peninsula and Russia and China began naval exercises ahead of a U.N. General Assembly meeting on Tuesday where North Korea’s nuclear threat is likely to loom large.
The flurry of military drills came after Pyongyang fired another mid-range ballistic missile over Japan on Friday and the reclusive North conducted its sixth and most powerful nuclear test on Sept. 3 in defiance of United Nations sanctions and other international pressure.
A pair of U.S. B-1B bombers and four F-35 jets flew from Guam and Japan and joined four South Korean F-15K fighters in the latest drill, South Korea’s defense ministry said.

China to amend party constitution at October congress
BEIJING (Reuters) – China’s ruling Communist Party is expected to amend its constitution at a key party congress next month, state media said on Monday, in a sign that President Xi Jinping aims to enshrine his guiding ideological doctrine in the charter.
Since assuming office almost five years ago, Xi has rapidly consolidated power, with moves such as heading a group leading economic reform and appointing himself military commander-in-chief, although as head of the Central Military Commission he already controls the armed forces.
The Politburo, one of the party’s elite ruling bodies, deliberated a draft amendment to the constitution to be discussed at the congress that would include “major theoretical viewpoints and major strategic thought”, the official Xinhua news agency said.
While the Xinhua report did not elaborate, a key measure of Xi’s power will be whether he manages to have his name “crowned” in the constitution, elevating him to the level of previous leaders exemplified by Mao Zedong Thought and Deng Xiaoping Theory.

Duterte invites U.N. rights body to open Philippine office as drug killings climb
MANILA (Reuters) – Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte on Monday invited the United Nations’ human rights monitor to set up office in the country and join all anti-narcotic operations, amid growing public and global criticism of his bloody war on drugs.
“I will personally through an official channel invite the human rights commission to set up a satellite office here,” Duterte told reporters after attending the wake of a slain policeman, referring to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR).
“I will tell police station commanders, do not operate without a representative of the U.N. human rights commission and everybody must wear a camera so it will all be transparent.”
The comments were a marked change from Duterte’s usual disdain for the United Nations, which he once threatened to withdraw from after U.N. human rights experts and rapporteurs expressed concern about the huge death toll in his signature war on drugs.

Bizarre: Suddenly, three left-wing sites test online ads to Jew-haters and N-word users, for some reason
By J.E. Dyer September 17, 2017
It’s hard to imagine this wasn’t a centrally coordinated effort.
You probably have no interest in targeting online advertising to attract people who hate Jews, use the N-word, or react positively to terms like “Nazi” and “wetback.” Besides not caring to reach such fringe audiences, chances are you don’t advertise online.
But just in case you do have one or more of these very specific goals, BuzzFeed, ProPublica, and Daily Beast have determined for you where you could accomplish them. Put some naughty search terms into the advertising platforms at Google, Facebook, and Twitter. And presto: the algorithms in operation will give you lists of such words, and related repugnant expressions, with which to tailor your ad buys.

Woman raped, tied to pole in Rome
Victim is 57-year-old German, found nude by taxi driver
A 57-year-old German woman was raped last night at Rome’s Villa Borghese park, sources said Monday. The woman was found gagged and naked tied to a pole in the park by a taxi driver early on Monday, the sources said. She told police that she was attacked where she was found, the sources added.
The clothes of the woman, who has been in Italy for a few months and has been taken to the city’s Santo Spirito hospital, were found near to the pole. She told investigators that she was attacked by young man, probably a foreigner, the sources said.
He is also said to have robbed the woman of 40 euros. Police have been working in the park for several hours to find evidence that could lead to the assailant.

Iraq set to expel 500 wives of IS militants
Iraq moved 500 wives of Islamic State group militants to a detention centre in preparation to deport them after they were captured along with 800 children, a councillor said Monday.
The women and children were detained in Iraq’s second city Mosul, capital of Nineveh province and IS’s main stronghold in the country until Iraqi forces retook it in July.
“They are in a holding centre in Tal Kayf under the control of Iraqi security forces, so their cases can be examined before they are eventually expelled from the country,” the Nineveh province councillor told AFP.
The spouses and their children were moved Sunday from a camp run by international aid agencies 60 kilometres (40 miles) south of Mosul, said the official, who asked to remain anonymous.
A senior Iraqi security official said the 509 women and 813 children held 13 different nationalities from Europe, Asia and the Americas.
A government official said around 300 of them were Turkish.
“They are foreigners who entered the country illegally,” a minister told AFP.
“Legal measures must be taken against them because, when they were detained, they were in an area controlled by terrorists.”
The Norwegian Refugee Council said they group were mostly from Turkey, Azerbaijan, Russia and Tajikistan.
The Nineveh councillor said Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi had ordered their transfer to the detention centre and “could be part of preparations for their departure to their countries of origin”.
Some of the families were among a group transferred to the Iraqi authorities a week after they surrendered to Kurdish forces deployed in the north of the country.
“Humanitarian organisations must have free access” to the centre in order “to provide assistance and monitor their living conditions,” said Melany Markham, spokesperson in Iraq for the Norwegian Refugee Council.
Iraqi forces in late August ousted IS from the militants’ one-time stronghold of Tal Afar, near Iraqi Kurdistan, after facing fierce resistance in the town of Al-Ayadieh.
Hundreds of women and children surrendered to Kurdish forces deployed north of Al-Ayadieh, officials said.

Easy, peasey. TAKE THE CHILDREN. Do not let them become indoctrinated and make sure that ISIS wives understand how what they hold dearest will be stripped away from them like a bad coat of paint.
Nothing says “Fü¢k you!” like having your kids taken away.
Orbán wins the migration argument
Suddenly most EU leaders echo the Hungarian prime minister.
(I’d say, common sense is winning, temporarily, since they intend to keep taking in migrants, and it is winning because this is the will of most Europeans; Orban simply expressed this will)
http://www.politico.eu/article/viktor-orban-migration-eu-has-won-the-argument/
Things are starting to look up, this shows that the people are waking up and that the politicians are aware of this shift. I think most of them are waking up real late in the game but there is still time to save Europe.
Viktor Orban: We Want A Hungarian Hungary And European Europe
Hungary: The Soros Plan Is Sophisticated Genocide
See video time point—00:18 … as in, “With no upper limit…” to [borderless] immigration.
“No upper limit…”! GOT THAT?
Does anyone happen to notice the similarity shared by this Soros-sponsored
initiativetreachery and Islam’s own historic, pestilential strategy of “no upper limit” to the barbarity of their own Muslim atrocities?!? Please understand that this is no coincidence of any sort.However rhetorical the question may seem: What will it take for (political, military, and civilian) Westerners to realize how—REGULARLY PREEMPTING AND MEETING ISLAM’S OWN BARBARITY WITH MASSIVELY DISPROPORTIONATE RETALIATION REPRESENTS THE ONLY WAY OF ASSURING THAT—such crushing maneuvers are the sole method of demonstrating sufficient resolve whereby Muslims no longer regard Dar al-Harb as a “soft target”?
Sickest of all is that the continuing failure of Western governments to unequivocally transmit this crucial message abroad only hastens the day when our world’s Islamic population centers are simply incinerated without a backwards glance—if not accompanied by the once-repulsive celebrations and dancing-in-the-streets that Muslims are so famous for.
Be sure that I will be handing out candy and giving all available gals a spin when that (supremely avoidable and disgustingly foreordained) day arrives.
All of this is so vomit-worthy to where the notion that billions of Muslims will necessarily perish due to a ham-fisted Globalist agenda of rigid civilian control and cheerfully imposed barbarism makes me hope that Brussels is Iran’s primary target.
Thank goodness that brave Israel has had the immense wisdom to inform its perpetually hostile Islamic neighbors that even a single NBC (Nuclear, Biological or Chemical) attack will end up with all of them being vaporized in nuclear plasma. See the: Samson Option.
How tragic it is that the West’s lunatic diplomacy prohibits Trump from publicly announcing that just one (successful or NOT) North Korean ICBM launch against America will see, not just Pyongyang, but Beijing, Islamabad, Tehran, Riyadh, Baghdad, Jakarta, Dhaka, Kabul, and every other last Muslim majority nation dissolved in a bath of energetic neutrons.
Only when all other Muslim nations (and their Chinese, Russian, etc. enablers) come to understand that the slightest support for Islam’s jihadist agenda will likely result in their total annihilation will there be any hope of Muslims finally being forced to clean their own house.
When I see regular, daily reports of local Muslim populations slitting the throats of their neighborhoods’ jihad-preaching imams (as opposed to endless notifications about European and global terrorist atrocities), only then will I reconsider any need to keep the international cabal of Islamic and anti-western nations on notice that their continued existence hinges upon the sorely-tested restraint of a civilized world that refuses to tolerate any more of this proxy Muslim (and extraneous tyrannical) bü!!$hitê.
Civilization is collapsing but it hasn’t yet fallen to the point where we are willing to commit massive atrocities on the enemy. Today I was talking with a friend I hadn’t seen for a while and pointed out that nukes are political and not military weapons. Atrocities on the scale necessary are also political weapons and it will take time before enough people are willing to accept the number of deaths of semi innocents that will be necessary to end this war.
The quickest way for this to become feasible is for the enemy to use a nuclear, biological or chemical weapon against the US causing massive numbers of causalities. This would cause the US military to insist on retaliation so massive that the survivors would say it was an attempted genocide.
EGYPT – Azhar University refers professor to investigation
Al-Azhar University referred Sabri Abdel Raouf, a professor at Al-Azhar University, to investigation after he released a fatwa (legal judgment) ruling that a husband can have intercourse with his dead wife.
Abdel Raouf said that it is “halal because she is his wife,” noting that it is not considered adultery or “haram”, and who commits such an act will not be punished. He added however that “it is neither socially liked nor familiar,” and is referred to as “farewell intercourse.”
This fatwa caused a lot of controversy in religious and political circles.
On his part, Mohy el-din Afifi, secretary of the Islamic Research Academy, said that the fatwa issued by Abdel Raouf “reflects the bankruptcy of their owners.”
The secretary-general of the Islamic Research Academy stressed in a statement to Egypt Today that this fatwa is not accepted “neither by law, nor by humanity.”
The topic first arose in May 2011, when Moroccan cleric Zamzami Abdul Bari said that marriage remains valid even after death which raised the topic of a husband having sex with his dead wife.

Is it just me or does it seem like Islam is beginning to take notice of just how idiotic they appear to the civilized world?
Some of them are but I doubt it is enough to make much of a difference.

A certain percentage of Muslims,give refuge by the West,hate the West. That’s a fact. They were received here, but they rebel against the culture that recieved them. These are things that have happened before in history.
This is not a mere disgust, otherwide our terrorists could have gone to live in countries where the there is a Muslim rule, and women are covered.
This is about hatred, about a desire to liquidate a culture; this is about ideology – this Islam wants the world…

The Unaccompanied Muslim Minor Refugee Terror Attack in London
Taking in refugees causes terror.
September 18, 2017
Daniel Greenfield
Last decade, Ronald and Penelope Jones were being feted for their work as foster parents. Now their suburban Surrey home was raided in an investigation into the train bombing in London.
The Joneses had won praise for fostering hundreds of children. But their growing interest in taking in refugees from Muslim countries turned their pleasant home with its wooden fences and green backyard into a ticking time bomb.
And that bomb may have gone off at the Parsons Green station leaving behind flash burns and horror.
Earlier, the Joneses had admitted that, “We’ve had a real mix of children from Iraq, Eritrea, Syria, Albania and Afghanistan.” The tidal wave of refugees from these countries has swept across Europe bringing terror and death.
Ronald Jones, 88, and Penelope Jones, 71, like so many well-meaning Westerners, had no idea what they were letting themselves in for until the police were hammering at their door. Now they themselves have been turned into refugees, seeking shelters with relatives, while the police search for clues to the latest terror attack.
The couple became interested in fostering “refugees” when the media barraged helpless listeners with sob stories of Syrian suffering. But while they spoke often of children, the actual migrants are adults.

UC Berkeley Faculty Want to Shut Down Campus for Free Speech Week
“This is a clear threat to public higher education.”
September 18, 2017
Mark Tapson
A faculty letter addressed to the UC Berkeley campus and the Berkeley community at large is calling for a complete boycott of classes and campus activities during the upcoming “Free Speech Week,” which will feature conservative speakers whose very names inspire college students to seek safe spaces and therapy.
The Berkeley paper called The Daily Californian reports that the letter was co-written by seven faculty members, including Michael Cohen, a campus associate teaching professor of African American studies. The letter urges fellow faculty members to take three steps: cancel classes and tell students to stay home; close buildings and departments and allow staff to stay home; and not penalize students who are afraid of coming to campus. The letter was signed by 132 campus faculty members from various departments, and by 56 individuals who aren’t part of the UC Berkeley faculty.
Cohen said that most of the students in his African American Studies class are students “of color,” and he believes it is unethical and discriminatory for him to ask his students to be on campus during Free Speech Week, which will be held on campus from Sept. 24-27.

“Cohen said that most of the students in his African American Studies class are students “of color,” and he believes it is unethical and discriminatory for him to ask his students to be on campus during Free Speech Week, which will be held on campus from Sept. 24-27.”
In other words, Michael Cohen is advocating segregation. Evergreen comes to Berserkeley.
The left and the Black Nationalists are trying to resegrate the nation but this time they want the Blacks to be the bosses and the rest the serfs or slaves.
“…they want the Blacks to be the bosses…”
Sure thing. Okey-dokey. Well alrighty then! After all, who could possibly deny the stellar performances demonstrated by well-known African Black leaders of the Dark Continent’s SuperPowers like Zimbabwe—with Robert “Mr. 100 Trillion Dollar Bill” Mugabe, Idi “Some of My Best Friends are Hors D’oeuvres” Amin, or Nelson “Kill the Boer” Mandela?

Closer to home, we’ve got the widely celebrated “ruin porn capital” of Detroit “Paris-of-the-West” Michigan, or boringly placid Atlanta “The (Sixth Most Dangerous) City Too Busy to Hate” Georgia, not-to-mention Baltimore “Greatest City in America (with $18 million of police overtime)” Maryland, and, of course, Chicago “Two Killings a Day” Illinois.
Oops! Shame on me. I cruelly neglected to mention the thoroughly-documented +72% illegitimacy rate among America’s (almost unanimously single) Black mothers—whose offspring regularly are sired by entirely different Black
sperm donorsbaby daddies“supposed fathers“.Nor am I addressing the fact—specifically documented by published DOJ statistics—that young Black males (comprising a MERE 1% – 2% of the entire US population) nonetheless ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR 53% OF ALL VIOLENT CRIME (i.e., murder, rape, sexual or physical assault, battery, manslaughter, and spousal abuse, etc.), not to mention their inclusion on a comprehensive laundry list of other violent, felonious and criminal convictions.
Of course, the Propaganda Media adamantly refuses to disclose or even marginally report about how the BIGGEST KILLER of young American Black men, is other young American Black men. Politely attempting to inject even the slightest mention about any presence of illegally acquired firearms by these previously convicted murderers and felons will get you (exactly) NOWHERE.
Perish the fü¢kinq thought that they might inadvertently contradict the Left’s sacrosanct narrative of, Black
LivesLIES Matter. Paging Al Sharpton, Tawana Brawley, Crystal Mangum, and every last other sack of lying sh!te to the Red Courtesy Phone.Welcome to the world of Liberal “soft racism” whose (consistently) lowered expectations infantilizes all minorities, Muslims not the least among them. It is a doctrinal Liberal policy which forms the root and branch of 0bama-style Democrat ideology and their cheerful creation of “mendicant voter plantations” (i.e., ghettos) within major metropolitan urban centers. None of which makes any mention about the Democratic Party’s expansion of America’s own budding Muslim “no-go” zones (e.g., Michigan’s cities of Dearborn or Hamtramck).
Here is a final statistic that nails this gruesome fact to the floor:
Jailed Black men have a LONGER LIFE EXPECTANCY than their own unincarcerated racial counterparts who walk free on the streets.
What could possibly go wrong?!?

Black Lives Matter Targets Jefferson
The Left’s Cultural Revolution intensifies.
September 18, 2017
Matthew Vadum
The vandalization of a statute of University of Virginia founder Thomas Jefferson by students and Black Lives Matter rioters suggests the Left is escalating the ugly Cultural Revolution-style upheaval that President Obama encouraged in office.
This iconoclastic insurrectionism is spreading, as angry left-wing mobs topple statues of figures from the past they dislike. In Chicago, Bishop James Dukes of Liberation Christian Center is demanding that the names and statues of George Washington and Andrew Jackson be removed from parks. Others want Woodrow Wilson’s name excised from buildings and schools because he supported racial segregation. The list goes on and on.
The disorder in Charlottesville comes as a monument in Baltimore honoring Francis Scott Key, who wrote the words to “The Star-Spangled Banner,” was spray-painted with the words “racist anthem.” Leftist writer Jefferson Morley suggested on Tucker Carlson’s TV show that the vandalism was justified, but more on that in a moment.
As about a hundred students chanted “No Trump, no KKK, no racist UVA,” the Jefferson monument on the school’s main quad was draped in black and adorned with signs reading, “Black Lives Matter,” “TJ is a racist,” and “Fuck white supremacy.”

San Francisco Sanctuary Policies Claim Another Victim
California becomes a dream state for violent criminals.
September 18, 2017
Lloyd Billingsley
Last week California legislators worked three shifts to pass SB 54, the sanctuary state bill, and other measures protecting those who violated U.S. immigration law. As they did so, a recent shooting in San Francisco recalled the murder of Kate Steinle in 2015.
Last December, immigration authorities detained Erick Garcia-Pineda, 18, who entered the United States illegally. According to an Associated Press report, Garcia-Pineda was released in April but slated for deportation, fitted with an ankle monitor, and required to check in with federal authorities.
Garcia-Pineda failed to show up for his August appointment and ICE could not find him. On August 11, Garcia-Pineda and Jesus Perez-Araujo, 24, stole a .38 Smith and Wesson revolver, along with ammunition for the weapon, from the car of San Francisco police officer Marvin Cabuntala.
On August 15, after robbing three people, the two illegals encountered Abel Esquivel, 24, a San Francisco native who volunteers at the Central American Resource Center. According to police, Garcia-Pineda shot Esquivel with the stolen gun and he died later in hospital. As police told NBC news, the same gun was used in two other shootings and five robberies.

Italy: Hundreds of migrants arrive in Palermo after Spanish vessel brings them ashore
A group of 410 migrants arrived in the port of Palermo, Monday, after the Spanish Navy vessel Cantabria brought them ashore.
A task force of medics and volunteers was present at the port, where picked up migrants -358 men and 52 women and six pregnant women- arrived and received aid kits of footwear and food.
SOT, Nadia Sabatino, volunteer of Caritas (Italian): “We are following usual procedures in the case of arrivals, we have several volunteers, today there are around ten, and we provide them with a kit which includes slippers [shoes] and a bag with food.”
SOT, Journalist (Italian): “Are there any minors?”
SOT, Nadia Sabatino, volunteer of Caritas (Italian): “Yes there are minors; they are telling us that on board there are ten families, so we expect a number of small children. We are trying to make them smile and bring them a bit of joy after what they have been through on this journey. We keep doing our work, following our style.”
Germany: Islam is a ‘political doctrine’ – AfD outlines anti-Islam stance at press conference
Right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) party took a clear anti-Islam stance at a press conference in Berlin, Monday, whilst calling for tighter security measures primarily aimed against immigrants in an effort to reduce crime in the country.
SOT, Alexander Gauland, AfD co-leader (German): “Because Islam is also a political doctrine, one cannot look at it merely from the angle of freedom of religion. As a political doctrine, Islam is incompatible with a free democratic order. In this regard, it doesn’t belong in Germany.”
SOT, Alice Weidel, AfD candidate (German): “The domestic security in Germany is constantly deteriorating. In the space of the last two years it has completely eroded. Above all the public spaces such as streets, bathing areas, swimming pools, parks, modes of transport are visibly becoming risky areas, not least for women. And here the CDU, who are responsible for a large part in this, have made this theme part of their election campaign without a concrete vision of how to improve the situation. And the only party that does that, that is us, the Alternative for Germany. Our fundamental suggestions relate to four key areas. Firstly the police, secondly the criminal justice, thirdly the effective fight against criminality of foreigners and fourth is to do with the criminality of asylum seekers and others seeking protection.”
SOT, Alice Weidel, AfD candidate (German): “I want to say this very clearly, in Muslim problem areas it is by now the case that I can’t walk through them with my life partner. You have also seen in recent years that the number violent attacks against homosexuals have risen sharply and the perpetrator groups are still the same. For example there’s an interesting video on this topic in Berlin, in which a pair from a Muslim background, from an Arabic background, went through the city with belts and attacked whoever stood in their way. So we have here already the effects, the first precursors to homophobic and homosexual hostility, which is very clearly based on the understanding of Sharia that homosexuality is punishable and they [homosexuals] are hung in countries ruled by Sharia law.”
Russia: Female suicide bombers with IS ties handed prison sentences
Two women were handed prison sentences by the North-Caucasus District Military Court, in Rostov-on-Don, on Monday, as they were convicted with planning a suicide bomb attack in one of the city’s largest shopping centres.

“The accused were masterminding a terrorist attack at one of the biggest shopping malls of Rostov-on-Don,” claimed the court’s Press Officer Alyona Katkalo.
The court convicted Karpenko and Grishina of preparing an attack, using suicide belts, between October 2015 and February 2016.

Ex-CIA Head Proposed Law That Would Make Reading Leaked Material A Crime
ust months before the government’s first successful use of the Espionage Act against someone for leaking to the media, a declassified report written by then-CIA Director William Casey argued that just such an act would be irresponsible.
In the formerly SECRET paper, the Director stated that using the Espionage Act against media leakers was like “driving tacks with a sledge hammer” – grossly excessive. Months later, the government did just that, setting a precedent which is still used today. Two years later, Reagan’s war against leakers had pushed Casey into the even more aggressive position of threatening not just leakers with prosecution – but the Washington Post, the Washington Times, the New York Times, Time and Newsweek as well.

Why Quantitative Easing In The Eurozone Will Be Extended

The staff of the European Central Bank has now released the new macro-economic projections for the Eurozone and whilst the introduction sounds optimistic about an ever-increasing GDP and a relatively stable GDP growth rate, reading between the lines suggests we could see an extended Quantitative Easing program.
The ECB is probably correct when it claims the economic recovery will remain ‘robust’, but it also mentions the ‘favorable financing conditions’ as one of the main drivers of this economic recovery. This is quite the ‘catch 22’ scenario. The economy is recovering due to the low interest rate policy of the ECB, but without this ‘easy money policy’, the recovery would be either much slower or non-existing at all. Whilst we have heard several voices from ECB committee members the central bank is getting close to the point it will start to increase the interest rates again, the working paper from the ECB staffers is pretty clear on the need for continuous (monetary) support to protect the current economic recovery.

euronews -German elections: are refugees still welcome?
Well how did these immigrants in the video from “safe countries” end up in Germany in the first place?
Not legally, I´m guessing, otherwise they wouldn’t threatened with deportation.
Go back to your country and do it the right way. They have the language and the skills and a potential employer who will sponsor them to come back.
They want to be rewarded for trying to cheat the system and these Germans (in the video) are just encouraging MORE cheating -Lawlessness.
There are already laws on the books.
“They want to be rewarded for trying to cheat the system…”
Whoa!!! Just wait a minute. Are you referring to Europe or the USA?!?
You get my drift…
