Iraq child marriage bill draws UN ire (memo, Dec 5, 2017)
https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20171205-iraq-child-marriage-bill-draws-un-ire/
“A proposed law that could allow marriage for children as young as 9 years old in Iraq would rob boys and girls already scarred by war of their childhoods, top UN officials said on Monday.
The bill, which would allow religious leaders to govern marriage contracts and wed children, has prompted public demonstrations by women’s rights groups and activists in Iraq.
“The boys and girls of Iraq, already victims of grave violations resulting from years of conflict, are now at risk of being deprived of their childhood,” Virginia Gamba, UN children and armed conflict envoy, said in a statement.
“The government of Iraq must take all necessary actions to protect every child by preventing the adoption of policies that can harm children already exposed to armed conflict,” she said…”

Iraq accused of violating due process for Islamic State suspects (reuters, Dec 5, 2017)
https://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-mideast-crisis-iraq-report/iraq-accused-of-violating-due-process-for-islamic-state-suspects-idUKKBN1DZ0AS
“Iraqi federal and Kurdish regional judiciaries are violating the rights of Islamic State suspects with flawed trials, arbitrary detentions under harsh conditions, and broad prosecutions, Human Rights Watch said on Tuesday.
As the Sunni militant group’s self-proclaimed caliphate crumbles following defeats in Iraq and Syria, thousands suspected of joining it have been captured, detained, and put on trial.
At least 200 have been sentenced, Human Rights Watch said, and at least 92 executed.
Iraq’s government faces the task of exacting justice on Islamic State members while preventing revenge attacks on people associated with the group which could only undermine efforts to create long-term stability.
The New York-based rights group said that an 80-page report it released early on Tuesday “finds serious legal shortcomings that undermine efforts to bring (Islamic State) fighters, members, and affiliates to justice.”
A spokesman for Iraq’s Supreme Judicial Council, which supervises the federal judiciary, declined to comment on the contents of the report ahead of its release.
Issues highlighted by the HRW report:
– It is too easy to accuse someone of belonging to Islamic State and have them detained. Wanted lists or community accusations without evidence can result in the detention of suspects for months even if wrongly accused.
– Detention centres are overcrowded and authorities fail to separate children from adult detainees. Iraqi law states detainees should be brought to a judge within 24 hours of capture but this does not happen.
– Detainees are often subject to torture, not granted access to lawyers, and their families are not informed of their whereabouts. Iraqi authorities say they have investigated these allegations but have not released any findings.
– The reliance of Iraqi and Kurdish courts on counter terrorism laws to prosecute suspects rather than using other laws in the criminal code means crimes are not prioritised by seriousness and victims are not included in the process as suspects are not tried for individual acts of murder, rape, torture or slavery.
– Proving guilt under counter-terrorism laws is easier as a judge only needs proof that a defendant was a member of Islamic State to find them guilty. This means that anyone from cooks and doctors serving under the group to actual fighters is subject to the same sentences which range from life in prison to death.
This stretches Iraq’s resources thin as casting such a wide net means the courts would not have enough time or manpower to go through all cases, the report says, and prevents victims from getting personal justice.
HRW said that when it raised concerns over prosecutors not charging suspects with crimes under the criminal code, judicial authorities said there was no need.
“Genocide and terrorism are the same crime, why would we need a separate charge for genocide?” the report quoted one counter-terrorism judge as saying.”
Why is HRW concerning themselves with non human ISIS filth? Those who live by torture and murder should die by torture and murder.
Simple, Bl@K: HRW identifies with “non human ISIS filth”.
We must respect their identity choices.
Know thyself.
They do.
Russia lists 9 media outlets as foreign agents, including Voice of America, Radio Free Europe (RT, Dec 5, 2017)
https://www.rt.com/news/411949-russia-foreign-agents-america/
“Nine media outlets have been registered as foreign agents by Russia’s Justice Ministry, in accordance with a recently passed law. The law comes in response to the US Congress’s moves towards RT America.
On Tuesday, Voice of America and Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty, including its regional branch Radio Azatliq, along with six other outlets were recognized as foreign agents, according to the website of Russia’s Ministry of Justice.
The list also includes the Kavkaz.Realii, Krym Realii and Sibir Realii websites, the Current Time TV channel – a joint project of Voice of America and Radio Free Europe / Radio Liberty – the Radio Liberty-owned factograph.info website and IdelRealii project.
Journalists working for the enlisted outlets may get banned from visiting the Federation Council, the upper house of the Russian parliament, sources told Ria Novosti. A decision on that is expected to be taken next week. Earlier, the head of the State Duma Regulations Committee, Olga Savastyanova, called to ban access to all US reporters to the State Duma, the lower chamber.”

Germany accused over ‘illegal’ deportation of Afghan asylum seeker (theguardian, Dec 5, 2017)
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/dec/05/germany-accused-over-illegal-deportation-of-afghan-asylum-seeker
“The German government has been accused of breaking its own rules on removing Afghan asylum seekers with a decision to deport a 26-year-old who fears he will be killed if returned.
The man, who the Guardian is not naming, is due to be flown out of Germany on Wednesday to a country he has not set foot in since he was five years old.
The case has focused attention on Germany’s acceleration of deportations, which have doubled over the past year. In all, 78 people are due to be deported on Wednesday…”
78 people about to be deported? They should deport several million Muhammadans back to their own countries!
Probably most are children under 35 years old too.
German pilots refuse to carry out deportations
Pilots across Germany are stopping planned deportations of rejected asylum seekers. At the same time, refugees are appealing their deportation orders in record numbers – and winning.
Many pilots in Germany are refusing to participate in deportations, local media reported on Monday.
Following an information request from the Left party, the government said that 222 planned flights were stopped by pilots who wanted no part in the controversial return of refugees to Afghanistan, which has been deemed a “safe country of origin” in some cases, despite ongoing violence and repression in parts of the country.
[…]“The decision not to carry a passenger is ultimately made by the pilot on a case by case basis. If he or she had the impression that flight safety could be affected, he must refuse to transport the passenger,” Lamberty was quoted by the Westdeutsche Allegeimeine Zeitung as saying.
According to Lamberty, Lufthansa pilots sometimes talk personally to passengers who are about to be deported prior to the flight. In general, these people are treated like normal passengers, “they have a valid ticket after all.”

German pilots ground 222 flights after refusing to deport asylum seekers
Flight crews did not want to help send people back to Afghanistan, local media report
German pilots have reportedly grounded more than 200 flights after refusing to be involved in the deportations of failed asylum-seekers.
Flight crews said they did not want to participate in sending people back to Afghanistan, where violence is still rife following years of war and occupation by Western forces.
Between January and September 222 flights were cancelled, according to German government figures, with most – 140 – coming at Frankfurt airport.

http://www.preservearticles.com/201012271798/qualities-of-good-money-material.html
Efforts to vilify holders of precious metals should be expected. Precious metals allow the individual to step outside a fraudulent economic system overburdened by debt and asset rehypothication. It is no coincidence that our world seems chaotic. Remember that the postmodern agents driving chaos can prosper only under the Keynesian economic model. Otherwise, only a fool would give gold to a snake oil salesman.

Very good, keep up the work to educate people in the true reasons that the left hates the idea of individuals owning gold.
Gold and other precious metals give the public independence from the government and takes away the governments power to meddle in what the businesses are doing. One of the tactics the left usis is pushing the idea that greed for money is evil, but the politicians and bureaucrats are greedy for power to order us around. Why is greed for money (precious metals) bad and greed for power is good?
One of the reasons that the left hates Trump so much is that he made himself a billionaire by finding ways around the regulations that the left has put into place to prevent people from getting rich and gaining independence from the government.

Mueller Subpoenas Trump Deutsche Bank Records
Special prosecutor Robert Mueller zeroed in on President Donald Trump’s business dealings with Deutsche Bank AG as his investigation into alleged Russian meddling in U.S. elections widens.
Mueller issued a subpoena to Germany’s largest lender several weeks ago, forcing the bank to submit documents on its relationship with Trump and his family, according to a person briefed on the matter, who asked not to be identified because the action has not been announced.
“Deutsche Bank always cooperates with investigating authorities in all countries,” the lender said in a statement to Bloomberg Tuesday, declining to provide additional information.

Fox News – Mueller’s team has not subpoenaed Deutsche Bank on Trump’s finances, legal team says
President Trump’s legal team is pushing back against reports that Special Counsel Robert Mueller has called on Deutsche Bank to submit data pertaining to its client relationship with President Trump as part of his investigation into alleged Russian election meddling.
“We have confirmed that the news reports that the special counsel had subpoenaed financial records relating to the president are false,” said Jay Sekulow, a member of Trump’s legal team. “No subpoena has been issued or received. We have confirmed this with the bank and other sources.”
Bloomberg, citing an unnamed source, reported that Mueller is seeking information on the German lender and its relationship with Trump and his family. Trump reportedly owes the bank $300 million.
Democrats have said Trump’s relationship with the bank is crucial in the Russia investigation. The Washington Post reported in August that Democrats have pushed for an investigation into the bank’s internal review of the loans to see if there is any link with Russia.
Deutsche rejected demands by Democratic lawmakers back in June for details of Trump’s finances, Reuters reported. The bank cited privacy laws.
The bank, Trump’s primary lender, also approved a $285 million refinancing loan for Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner’s company a month before the election, The Post reported.
Trump, who spoke to reporters Monday as he left the White House to head to Utah, unleashed a string of tweets over the weekend in which he criticized the FBI and raised questions about the federal investigation.
In one of his messages, Trump again denied that he directed the former FBI director James Comey to stop investigating his former national secuirty adviser Michael Flynn.
Trump questioned the direction of the federal law enforcement agency and wrote that after Comey, whom Trump fired in May, the FBI’s reputation is “in Tatters — worst in History!” He vowed to “bring it back to greatness.” The president also retweeted a post saying new FBI Director Chris Wray “needs to clean house.”
Trump seized on reports that a veteran FBI counterintelligence agent was removed from Mueller’s team last summer after the discovery of an exchange of text messages that were viewed as potentially anti-Trump. The agent, Peter Strzok, had also worked on the investigation of Clinton’s use of a private email server.
Peter Carr, a spokesman for Mueller, said Mueller removed Strzok from the team “immediately upon learning of the allegations.” He would not elaborate on the nature of the accusations.
Trump tweeted Sunday: “Tainted (no, very dishonest?) FBI ‘agent’s role in Clinton probe under review.’ Led Clinton Email probe.” In a separate tweet, he wrote: “Report: ‘ANTI-TRUMP FBI AGENT LED CLINTON EMAIL PROBE’ Now it all starts to make sense!”

Trump’s lawyers mount a new defense: A president can’t obstruct justice. Is that true?
WASHINGTON — President Trump’s lawyers have long maintained that he did not obstruct justice in his dealings with ousted FBI director James Comey. On Monday, they mounted a new defense: A president can’t actually obstruct justice.
As part of his wide-ranging investigation into Russia’s election interference, special counsel Robert Mueller is investigating whether Trump improperly pressured Comey to end the investigation of his former national security adviser, Michael Flynn, and his decision to fire the FBI chief three months later.
Trump has denied that he asked Comey to drop the investigation. But his chief lawyer, John Dowd, suggested Monday it wouldn’t even matter if he had – because a president cannot obstruct justice by telling the FBI how he hopes a criminal investigation will be resolved.
“He is the chief law enforcement officer of the United States,” Dowd said in an email to USA TODAY. “He has more power and discretion on that matter that DOJ and FBI put together. He cannot obstruct himself!”

Trump dramatically SHRINKS Bears Ears National Monument and slashes another by half in the name of ‘states’ rights’ as he says ‘public lands will once again be for public use’

President Donald Trump unveiled a plan Monday in Utah to dramatically scale back two national monuments – calling it an important move for ‘states’ rights.’
‘Some people think that the natural resources of Utah should be controlled by a small handful of very distant bureaucrats located in Washington. And guess what? They’re wrong,’ he said in the cavernous Utah Capitol Rotunda in Salt Lake City.
‘The families and communities of Utah know and love this land the best. And you know the best how to take care of your land. You know how to protect it, and you know best how to conserve this land for many, many generations to come,’ he said.
‘Your timeless bond with the outdoors should not be replaced with the whims of regulators thousands and thousands of miles away. They don’t know your land, and truly they don’t care for your land like you do.’
The Bears Ears and the Grand-Staircase Escalante national monuments span millions of acres in Utah and are among 27 national monuments that Trump ordered his Interior Secretary to review earlier this year.

2 San Leandro Teens Arrested On Suspicion Of Killing Man Over iPhone X
SAN LEANDRO (KPIX 5) — Two East Bay teenagers have been arrested for killing a man over an iPhone X.
The victim: Danny Carlos, a 32-year-old father from Redwood City.
The deal started on the ‘letgo’ app. What was supposed to be a quick sale turned into a robbery and eventually murder.
“Danny was doing everything right in regards to using the app,” said Alameda County Sheriff’s Department Sgt. Ray Kelly.
Perhaps you’ve seen the commercials for the letgo app, where people can list items for sale similarly to Craigslist.

‘The threat is very real’: Millions in Tokyo to take part in North Korean nuclear attack exercise
Millions of residents of Tokyo are to take part in evacuation drills simulating a North Korean nuclear attack on the Japanese capital.
The national and city governments are to carry out a series of exercises between January and March to prepare for a potential attack on Tokyo, the Sankei Shimbun newspaper reported, the first time that a major Japanese city will have carried out responses to a simulated attack.
Towns facing the Korean Peninsula have in recent months conducted similar drills, with residents instructed to seek shelter in response to sirens warning of an imminent missile strike.
But the Japanese government has until now resisted calls for major cities to carry out similar exercises on the grounds that they would alarm the public.
Shinzo Abe, the prime minister, has also called in local governments throughout the country to identify underground facilities or buildings that are sufficiently sturdy to withstand a missile attack and to designate those facilities as shelters.

Exiled son of slain Yemen ex-leader calls for revenge: Saudi-owned TV
ADEN/DUBAI (Reuters) – The son of Yemen’s ex-president Ali Abdullah Saleh has called for revenge against the armed Houthi movement that killed the veteran leader after he switched sides in the civil war, a Saudi-owned TV station reported on Tuesday.
The intervention by the exiled Ahmed Ali Saleh, if confirmed, could shift the balance of power yet again after a dramatic week that saw the elder Saleh abandon his Houthi allies, who responded by killing him and routing his supporters from the capital Sanaa in street battles.
Yemen’s war, pitting the Iran-allied Houthis who control Sanaa against a Saudi-led military alliance backing a government based in the south, has led to what the United Nations calls the world’s worst humanitarian crisis. The world body says millions of people may die in one of the worst famines of modern times, caused by warring parties blocking food supplies.
Yemen’s capital Sanaa was quiet on Tuesday after five days of fighting and 25 air strikes overnight, and U.N. and Red Cross aid flights had landed at the airport, U.N. humanitarian coordinator in Yemen Jamie McGoldrick said. The funeral of Saleh was expected later on Tuesday.

The incredible shifting rationale for ‘investigating Trump’
By J.E. Dyer December 5, 2017
Any post on this topic must start with the observation – one that remains valid after nearly a year and a half of U.S. law enforcement and intelligence agencies trying to find dirt on Trump – that nothing prosecutable has turned up. Nothing, that is, that relates to Trump, his campaign, or his presidency.
I pointed that out in September, in relation to the history of “unmasking” and even actual wiretapping of Trump associates in 2016.
Now there have been three excellent posts in the last 24 hours that really bring into focus how the effort to nail Trump has changed its spots over time. Apparently, the purpose of this has been to “get” him on something – anything – and to call the pursuit of Trump whatever is necessary to justify using the tools available to the executive branch of the federal government.
Referring to the general effort as a “Trump-Russia probe” papers over the shifting of the rationale in law, as opposed to the rationale for bumper-sticker political chatter. That’s presumably why the mainstream media give little coverage to the justifications being enunciated by public officials.
But the officials have been enunciating those justifications. Each one has been paper-thin, but they’ve been there.

Why is Robert Mueller even investigating the presidential transition?
The Order appointing Mueller concerns election interference, not post-election political decisions of the winning candidate.
Michael Flynn pleaded guilty last week to lying to FBI investigators regarding conversations Flynn had with the Russian Ambassador in late December 2016, barely three weeks before the Trump administration was sworn into office.
Such transitions contact with foreigners are routine, and took place during prior administrations, including the Obama administration. That makes perfect sense, since an incoming administration needs to hit the ground running with its foreign policy. Certainly there would have been howls of outrage from the media and Democrats had the incoming Trump administration waited until after the inauguration to make contact with our primary geo-political foes; it would have been portrayed as a sign of incompetence and amateurishness.
There was nothing illegal about Flynn speaking with the Russian ambassador and others. But he ran afoul of the law when he lied about it to the FBI.

The left is trying to carry out a coup against the man that the voters selected to be President. I suppose that after 8 years of Third World Dictator tactics by Obama we should have expected this from the left, should have expected but most of us didn’t. I expected a violent revolution and that is probably on hold until the left see’s how their coup works. If the coup works of if the violent revolution works the US Constitution will be destroy along with the rule of law and the idea of individual rights.J.E. is pointing out the coup attempt and in the last paragraph refers to several South American nations where the Deep State has successfully carried out soft coups against the legally elected officials.
In Europe the EU bureaucrats are in charge and according to the courts can’t be fired even when they steal from the EU Treasury, the US bureaucrats (The Deep State) are trying to create the same type of situtation here in the US, only they want to install a President For Life from the far left Democrats. The self proclaimed elite think they are the ones who own the nation and every thing in it, Trump’s election is the people, the true owners of this nation, fighting back. If he wins we have a real good chance of crippling the Deep State for several generation, possibly even as long as a Century. We can never permanently defeat the

Film about man’s sexual relationship with underage boy selected as best picture by L.A. Film Critics
By LU Staff December 4, 2017
Hollywood giveth and Hollywood taketh away. Last month Tinseltown was racked with shame over the accusations that actor Kevin Spacey had forced his attentions on an underage victim. This month, Gomorrah is giving high marks to a film that deals with that very topic.
“Call Me By Your Name,” a movie about an adult man’s sexual relationship with an underage boy, is 2017’s best picture, according to the Los Angeles Film Critics Association.
The group of America’s top film critics met Sunday to vote on their annual rankings. Their top pick was “Call Me By Your Name,” which follows a 17-year-old Italian boy who develops a sexual relationship with his father’s 24-year-old American intern. Directed by Luca Guadagnino, the movie is a film adaptation of André Aciman’s romantic novel of the same name. It has been hailed as “an erotic triumph” by the New York Post, “a romantic marvel” by The Atlantic, and “a gorgeous gay love story” in The Guardian.

Remind me: How many Americans died each year from lack of health coverage before Obamacare?
By Howard Portnoy December 4, 2017
There are all kinds of mystifying claims being made about the tax reform bill that was passed by the Senate last Friday. One is that 38% of Americans won’t receive a tax cut under the plan. Putting aside the good news — that 62% of Americans will receive a tax cut under the plan — the crepe hangers seem to be ignoring another inconvenient truth: that 40% of Americans pay no tax at all.
Another grave pronouncement made about the bill is tied to its provision to eradicate the individual mandate (aka tax), which will effectively kill Obamacare. This morning, Larry Summers, who served as Treasury secretary under Bill Clinton and White House economic advisor under Barack Obama, announced on CNBC that 10,000 Americans will die every year from lack of health coverage if the bill is signed into law.

Turkey: Erdogan warns Trump moving embassy ‘red line’ for Muslims
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan warned US President Donald Trump that recognising Jerusalem as the capital of Israel is a red line for Muslims during a speech to the Turkish parliament on Tuesday.
The Turkish President warned of a backlash against such a move.
“This could go as far as cutting our diplomatic relations with Israel. You cannot take such a step,” Erdogan told a parliamentary group meeting of his ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP).
Erdogan’s warning comes ahead of Trump’s decision which is expected any day.
Everything that doesn’t spread Islam around the world is a red line for Moslems! We have to start looking at what is a red line for Christians and other religions and enforcing them on the Moslems instead of worrying abut what the Moslems are going to say and do.

Iran: Rouhani warns supporters of US and Israel will ‘regret their actions’
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani warned that the “aggressors” of Yemen will “regret their actions” speaking at the opening ceremony of the 31st International Islamic Unity Conference in Tehran, Tuesday.
Rouhani said: “This point is clear that the great powers, the US and the Zionists, have built the terrorist groups against people, we know it and they confess and have confessed and they inevitably confess.”
I think he is defining terror as anything that blocks the Islamic Conquest.
Washington Post – This police officer is accused of being an ISIS-supporting neo-Nazi. He says he just has a dark sense of humor.
[…]The 36-year-old Alexandria native is also a Muslim convert who used to dress up as a Nazi officer in reenactments, according to court documents, and kept a prayer list that included Saddam Hussein and Adolf Hitler.
[…]“It’s a unique case; it’s a unique defendant,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Gordon Kromberg said in court last month. “The defendant was an adherent of both .?.?. The common enemy is hatred of the Jews.”
[…] this summer, he discussed his interest in military history, his relationship with the FBI and his two trips to join rebel groups battling Moammar Gaddafi in Libya.

BBC – Saakashvili: Supporters free ex-Georgia leader from Ukraine police
Supporters of former Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili have freed him from a police van in Ukraine after his detention on suspicion of assisting a criminal organisation.
Mr Saakashvili urged his supporters in the capital, Kiev, to impeach President Petro Poroshenko, a former ally.
He was made a Ukrainian citizen in 2015, which made him lose his Georgian citizenship.
Mr Saakashvili has become a fierce opponent of Mr Poroshenko.
He has accused the president of failing to root out corruption. Mr Poroshenko has denied such allegations in the past.

Dusting Off the Dead Letter Logan Act to Bludgeon Trump
Still no evidence of Trump campaign collusion with the Russians.
December 5, 2017
Joseph Klein
21
The 218-year-old Logan Act is receiving heightened attention lately as a possible club to use in bringing down the Trump administration. This archaic criminal statute prohibits U.S. citizens from communicating with any foreign government or its officers, in the absence of authorization by the U.S. government, “with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States.”
In a New York Times op-ed article by two University of Chicago Law School professors, Daniel Hemel and Eric Posner, entitled “Why the Trump Team Should Fear the Logan Act,” the professors argue that Michael Flynn’s communications in December 2016 with the Russian ambassador to the United States during the transition period leading up to the inauguration of President Trump violates the Logan Act. Moreover, they claim that Mr. Flynn’s filings as part of his guilty plea to one count of making materially false statements to the FBI “further reveal that a ‘very senior member’ of the Trump transition team almost certainly violated the Logan Act, too” by directing Mr. Flynn to convey certain messages to the Russian ambassador. Professors Hemel and Posner appear to be already envisioning a perp walk by one or more high level officials of the Trump administration and even the possible indictment of President Trump himself. “Whoever it was, Robert Mueller, the special counsel, can make out a powerful criminal case against that person,” they wrote.

After Church Groping, Rep. Conyers Passes Seat to Son
December 5, 2017
Daniel Greenfield
His Majesty, John Conyers (Civil Rights Icon – D) will democratically pass on his seat to John Conyers II (Civil Rights Icon Jr.). This move comes after his wife and Rep. Clyburn tried to play the race card against his victims.
And after an accusation of church groping.
Lisa Bloom was Harvey Weinstein’s cover-up person. But she clearly isn’t letting that slow her down. Also Conyers had at least two cousins working for him. Because this is politics and both sides are terrible.
But the CBC has finally figured out how to get Rep. Conyers to step down without a long cane or a butterfly net. Pass the seat on to his son. Because Congressional seats should stay in the family.

No they shouldn’t! This attitude is why so many people in congress think they can break any law and not be punished.

Huma Abedin Lied to the FBI and Got Away With It
December 5, 2017

If we had anything faintly resembling an evenhanded justice system, Huma Abedin would be pleading guilty right about now. But of course we don’t. And so a series of Trump associates are forced to plead guilty to lying to the FBI. While Hillary continues her Spite Across America tour. Did close Hillary associates like Cheryl Mills, Hillary’s right-hand woman, and Huma Abedin lie to the FBI?
As evidence assembled by Chuck Ross at the Daily Caller suggests, it rather looks like it.

When Will the Media Stop the “#YemenFamine” Lies and Hold the Houthis Accountable?
December 5, 2017
Daniel Greenfield
The murder of Ali Abdullah Saleh, the former Yemeni president, means that the Houthis, an Iranian-backed Shiite terrorist militia, now dominates Yemen. You wouldn’t know that from the flow of hysterical leftist propaganda about the #YemenFamine which claims that trillions will die because of the Saudi embargo of the Iranian terror group after it attacked the Saudi Arabia,
As amusing as it is to see the Saudis getting the same treatment as Israel, with Yemen swapped out for Gaza, the media appears to have as little interest in discussing the Houthis as Hamas.
Instead the propaganda feed acts as if the Saudis randomly decided to blockade Yemen (thereby killing every single baby in Yemen) for no possible reason except something to do with a complicated civil war. Some of this is due to propaganda being put out by Al Jazeera, the state network of Iran’s Qatari allies. And some of it is the association between Obama and Iran that now leads leftists to reflexively ally with the Islamic terror state out of the most warped kind of herd instinct.

Yemen: Houthis rally against ‘treachery’ after Saleh’s death
Thousands of Houthi supporters took to the streets of Sanaa on Tuesday in a march denouncing “treachery” a day after the killing of their former ally ex-president Ali Abdullah Saleh.
The capital was paralysed as demonstrators waved Yemeni flags in a show of solidarity with the Houthi government.
Houthi leader Abdul Malik al-Houthi had earlier called Yemenis onto the streets to, “prove that our entire nation stands by the [Houthi] state in preserving security and stability and rejecting all treachery.”
“Everybody Knew”: Leftist Media Power Led to Sex Abuses
How the Left enabled sexual abusers from Capitol Hill to CNN.
December 5, 2017
Daniel Greenfield
“Everybody f____g knew,” a top Hollywood screenwriter wrote of Harvey Weinstein. “Everybody knew” about Matt Lauer at NBC, Variety reports, and it “wasn’t even considered a secret.” “Every female in the press corps knew that, right, don’t get in elevator with him,” ABC’s Cokie Roberts said of Rep. Conyers.
Everybody knew.
The #MeToo sexual harassment scandals have hit CNN, MSNBC, CBS, NBC, ABC, NPR, PBS, Vox, New Republic, Mother Jones. Forget Matt Lauer and Charlie Rose. They were just the talent. Their big decisions were limited to which hairpiece looked best in all three mirrors and which naïve intern to prey on this month. The heads of the men who actually make the news are rolling left and right.
NPR lost its Chief News Editor and its Senior VP of News. Vox lost its Editorial Director. The New York Times lost its White House Correspondent and Mother Jones lost its D.C. Bureau Chief. MSNBC lost two prominent contributors who had done much to shape the political landscape, Mark Halperin, who had written the definitive media account of the ’08 election, and David Corn, who had debuted the 47% attack on Romney and got the first look at Hillary’s Trump dossier.

And so the same sordid dramas keep playing out again.
Socialist regimes turn feudal. The revolutionaries become tyrants. Murder for the cause becomes just murder. Redistribution of wealth flows to the redistributors. Civil rights activists turn racist. Male feminists rape. The liars don’t just lie for the cause. They lie for their friends and for themselves.
The ancient Greeks thought that governments are continually changing, Democracies become Tyrannies, which become Monarchies which becomes Democracies which become tyrannies etc. The US Constitution was an attempt to break this cycle, the jury is still out on if the attempt worked?
Read the entire article, anyone of the normal commentators on this blog could write several long essays based on this one article. It lays out the evidence to show that the goal of the left (and most career politicians) is power, not money power to boss people around. That power accumulating in a group of people who don’t believe in such old fashion ideas of ethics and honor are easily corrupted by the power. This corruption shows in many different ways, from the criminal actions of the Clinton’s, Obama’s and many other politicians to the sexual abuse of the Clinton’s and others. This abuse is not limited to the men but at times originates from the powerful women on the left.
The left controlling the media and the entertainment industry limited the amount of publicity that the abuses of power got. The Printing press originally allowed opposing viewpoints to be published with the various papers and publishers keeping the other papers and publishers in line and both sides reporting on the crimes of the politicians. Then in the middle 20th Century the left started to gather the ownership of the various media companies and instead of policing each other they started to protect the others. This led to the election to the rapist Clinton and then to the election of the Islamic communist Obama. It also led to the sexual abuse of the interns, lower ranking members of the companies and in general just about anyone they wanted to molest.
These abuses of power are close to what was being done by the French Nobility just before the French Revolution. The number of victims isn’t close to being equal but the severity of the abuses is the same, They range from sexual abuse through theft then murder and ending in treason.
I doubt if these abuses are limited to the US and pray that those in other nations will become public in time to help tho other nations remain free or regain their freedom.

Greece: Aegean mayors and residents protest Athens’ refugee crisis response
Mayors and residents of Lesbos, Samos and Chios protested outside the Ministry of Migration in Athens, on Tuesday, over what they claim is limited central government support for the Aegean islands’ refugee crisis response.
Protesters called for immediate measures in dealing with the influx of refugees and migrants, with Mayor of Lesbos Spiros Galinos claiming that Athens is turning their islands into “prisons.”
The EU-Turkey deal of March 2016 forces asylum seekers arriving on the Greek islands to remain in their place of arrival until their claims are processed.
Greek islanders protest in Athens over migrant overcrowding (abcnews, Dec 5, 2017)
http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/greek-islanders-protest-athens-migrant-overcrowding-51585427
“Greek islanders protested Tuesday in Athens outside Greece’s ministry for migration over the increasingly precarious, overcrowded conditions faced by newly arriving migrants and refugees.
The mayors of the islands of Lesbos, Chios and Samos, along with dozens of residents, traveled to the mainland to demand the government take measures to reduce overcrowding.
“There are large numbers of people who are living in inhumane conditions, in appalling conditions, dangerous conditions, and at the same time the social cohesion on our islands is in danger,” Lesbos Mayor Spyros Galinos said, explaining why he wants the number of migrants on his island reduced.
Under a European Union-Turkey deal reached last year to reduce the number of migrants coming in, those arriving on Greek islands from the Turkish coast are held in camps on the islands and face deportation back to Turkey unless they successfully apply for asylum in Greece.
The lengthy process has led to severe overcrowding. On Lesbos, about 6,500 people are stuck in facilities designed for just over 2,300.
“There is no room, there is no solution with this policy,” said Galinos. “If we don’t react now … the problem will continue to grow. At some point, the bubble will burst and things will be completely unmanageable.”
Human rights groups have also repeatedly voiced concerns over the conditions on the islands, especially in winter.
Authorities have been moving hundreds of migrants deemed to be vulnerable from the island to camps on the mainland. But with more people arriving, the move has not relieved pressure on the overcrowded facilities on the islands.
Michalis Angelopoulos, mayor of the small island of Samos, whose permanent population numbers roughly 6,500, described the situation as “critical.” He said there were 3,172 refugees or migrants on Samos, which has facilities for 800.
The Greek government says it cannot move all those who arrive on the eastern Aegean islands because to do so would violate the EU-Turkey deal. But the mayors reject the argument.
Greece and the EU must “take real measures and enforce real policies,” said Chios mayor Manolis Vournous. “If a policy is not operating or it is working only at the expense of the island and at the expense of the refugees, it is not a real policy.””
Arabs Call for 3 Days of Rage
The various Arab and Islamic groups have declared that Wednesday, Thursday and Friday will be ‘Days of Rage’. They made their announcement ahead of President Trump’s final decision to move the US embassy to Jerusalem.
They called for violence and riots throughout Israel and specifically in front of the US Consulate.
“The national and Islamic forces: ‘We declare Wednesday, Thursday and Friday days popular outrage throughout Palestine and in front of the U.S. Consulate refused to any resolution that recognizes Jerusalem as the capital of the Israeli occupation.’”
The US Consulate General issued a warning in response:

PALESTINIANS: THREE DAYS OF RAGE OVER TRUMP’S DECISION ON JERUSALEM
In a joint statement, the Palestinian “national and Islamic forces” announced three days of rage that would begin tomorrow and end on Friday.
The Palestinian factions announced three days of rage from Wednesday to Friday in protest of US President Donald Trump’s announcement to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and to transfer the American embassy from Tel Aviv.
The Palestinian factions called President Trump’s policy “political blackmail, which would destroy his ability to achieve regional or colonialist achievements in the region.”
The statement added that “a huge protest should be launched in order to reject out of hand the attempts of the US administration to transfer the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem or recognize Jerusalem as the capital of the State of Israel. The right of the people and the nation to act in all legal and diplomatic ways within the international community, the international law in the Hague, in order to torpedo this attempt,” the statement said, calling for an emergency meeting of the leaders of the Islamic countries and the Jerusalem Committee to emphasize their rejection of the American moves in Jerusalem.
“President Abbas warned of the danger of President Trump’s decision on the peace, security and stability process in the region and in the world,” spokesman Nabil Abu Rudaina said.
According to Ruadina, Abbas “reiterated our firm position that there is no Palestinian state without East Jerusalem as its capital in accordance with the decisions of the international community and the Arab peace initiative.”
“President Abbas will continue his contacts with world leaders to prevent this unacceptable step,” added Rudaina.
The Jordanians also announced that King Abdullah had been briefed by Trump on the issue of Jerusalem. King Abdullah said in response that “Jerusalem is the key to achieving peace of stability in the region and in the entire world.”
The official Jordanian news agency, Petra, noted that King Abdullah warned Trump of the danger in such a step that he was out of reach for a comprehensive solution to the establishment of a Palestinian state and the capital of East Jerusalem.
“Such a decision would be dangerous to the security and stability of the Middle East, and would lead to the collapse of American efforts for peace, and would also lead to strong reactions among Muslims and Christians,” Abdullah said. According to the Jordanian news agency, the king discussed the issue with Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas and stressed Jordan’s full support for the Palestinians’ protection of their rights in Jerusalem, including a united action against Trump’s decision to undermine the hopes of the Palestinians for the establishment of a state and its capital in East Jerusalem.
Morocco’s King Mohammed VI sent a letter to President Trump, stressing that “Jerusalem must be a city of coexistence.” “The transfer of the American embassy to Jerusalem will affect the fair settlement of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict,” he said.

Obama SABOTAGES Trump Overseas
Speaking at an invitation-only event in Paris, Obama joked to an audience full of French business and political leaders about President Trump withdrawing the U.S. from the Paris Climate Treaty.
“I grant you that at the moment we have a temporary absence of American leadership on the issue,” Obama said, amid a chorus of laughter from the French elite.
Earlier in the day, Obama also met with French President Emmanuel Macron in a “private capacity.” Obama even confided with Macron’s predecessor, former French President Francois Hollande.
Many Americans heavily criticized Obama during his presidency for “apologizing” for the United States while on overseas trips – and it’s clear that, even being out of office for a year, he hasn’t stopped slamming his country every chance he gets.

Italy: 4 from skinhead group ID’d for anti-migrant manifesto
MILAN – Police in the Italian city of Como say authorities have identified four people as right-wing extremists who interrupted a meeting on housing migrants to read an anti-migrant manifesto.
Police said Thursday that the four were being investigated on suspicion of private violence, a crime that involves forcing others to tolerate the reading of a political statement against their will.
A video of the Tuesday evening incident shows a dozen people, most with shaved heads, standing around a conference table that humanitarian group representatives were using. One read a statement on behalf of Veneto Fronte Skinheads, an extremist group, railing against an “invasion” of migrants.
It was the second time in recent weeks that Veneto Fronte Skinheads members have protested groups that are trying to help migrants in northern Italy.

GOP bill would land sanctuary city officials in prison
A Republican congressman will introduce a bill Monday that would punish any elected official who shelters illegal immigrant criminals from deportation
Rep. Todd Rokita, R-Ind., will introduce the “Stopping Lawless Actions of Politicians (SLAP) Act,” a bill that would impose criminal penalties for elected officials who obstruct federal immigration enforcement officers. Anyone convicted under Rokita’s proposed law would be subject to a $1 million fine and up to five years of prison.
“The American people are rightfully infuriated watching politicians put their open-borders ideology before the rule of law, and the safety of the people they represent. Politicians don’t get to pick and choose what laws to comply with. Americans are dying because politicians sworn to uphold the law refuse to do so,” Rokita said in an email press release. “It’s time the federal government gets serious about enforcing immigration laws and holding politicians accountable who conspire to break them.”
“This elitist mentality that everyone is not equal under the law must come to an end. These politicians want one set of rules for hard working Americans, but a different set of rules for illegal immigrants, and themselves,” the press release stated.

Aid chiefs defend foreign aid madness after BBC Panorama claimed money went to JIHADISTS (express, Dec 5, 2017)
https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/888195/foreign-aid-UK-jihadists-syria-taxpayer-money-dfid-ASI-philip-davies-mp-BBC-panorama
“THE madness of foreign aid looked set to continue yesterday after the Government insisted the money was “creating a safer, healthier and more prosperous world”.
The UK will continue to spend billions every year in spite of more than 85,000 readers backing a Daily Express crusade to spend the cash on desperately needed services at home.
The official statement came after a BBC Panorama investigation claimed a UK-backed scheme to support a civilian police force in Syria had put cash into the hands of Nour alDin al-Zinki jihadists.
Last night’s expose alleged some of the money was taken by extremist groups, while police have been working with courts accused of torture and summary executions.
The report claimed that in one case, officers from the British funded Free Syrian Police were present when two women were stoned to death, while documents suggest dead and fictitious people were on the police payroll.
Support for our crusade has grown after the Express exposed a string of spending outrages.
Some 70,000 have sent in coupons, while more than 17,000 have signed an online petition urging a change in the law.
They agree that instead of a commitment to spend 0.7 per cent of UK income on Official Development Assistance (ODA) the target should be lowered with more money ploughed into the NHS and social care.
The petition was set up by Express reader Robert Barnes, 52, of Oldham, Lancs, who said: “The Government’s response is disappointing and fails to address the underlying concerns that many people in our country have about how their money is being spent.
“The first duty of any Government is to look after the people it represents.
“In the week when it transpired that our money has possibly ended up training jihadis, the response, at best, is disappointing.
“It is time our Government listened to the people.”
Mr Barnes’s petition needs 100,000 signatures by March 14 to trigger a Parliamentary debate, the first step in finally ending the bloated aid budget.
The Panorama expose told how Britain is one of six countries funding a community-led policing scheme in opposition-held regions of Syria.
Money to the flagship British foreign aid project, run by Adam Smith International (ASI), has now been suspended just months after Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson announced the UK would commit a further £4million in addition to the £8million awarded since 2014. ASI has received £462million from the taxpayer in the past five years, including £103million last year alone.
Until there is a change in the law the UK will continue to spend 0.7 per cent of national income on ODA.
Last year Pakistan received £463million in taxpayer funded handouts, despite having space and nuclear weapons programmes.
UK aid to the Continent has rocketed from £32million in 2012 and £55million in 2015.
Responding for the first time to the online petition calling for the ODA target to be abolished the Department for International Development (DFID) said: “Investing less than one per cent of our national income in aid is creating a safer, healthier and more prosperous world.
“It is firmly in the UK’s and humanity’s interests.
“DFID is committed to spending every single penny of its aid budget wisely and without waste.”
Tory MP Philip Davies said: “DFID must be the only people in the country that can’t see so much money goes in waste and fraud.
Charity begins at home before we start throwing ever more billions of pounds overseas.”
ASI said: “We are proud of our reputation for implementing international development projects that make a real difference.
“ASI refutes the BBC’s spurious allegations, all of which are untrue or entirely misleading.”

Britain facing ‘unprecedented’ terror threat level as NINE plots thwarted in last year (express, Dec 5, 2017)
https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/888297/Terror-attacks-UK-Andrew-Parker-Downing-Street
“BRITAIN is facing an “unprecedented” terror threat level after a total of nine plots were thwarted in the last year, ministers have been told.
MI5 chief Andrew Parker told Theresa May and her senior ministers that the defeat of Islamic State in Iraq and Syria did not mean the terror threat was over, warning that social media was being used to encourage attacks in the UK and elsewhere.
Following the briefing at a cabinet meeting, Mrs May told ministers that the threat from terror was at an “unprecedented” level, despite the military setbacks experienced in its Middle East strongholds by Islamic State – also known as Daesh.
Home Secretary Amber Rudd added that the pace of attack planning has increased “significantly” over the past year.
Later, reporting back to MPs in the Commons, the Home Secretary outlined the terror threat facing the UK, saying there was “simply more terrorist activity” which had been partly inspired by more terrorist propaganda and instruction videos online.
The Home Secretary said: “Plots are developing more quickly from radicalisation to attack, and threats are becoming harder to detect, partly due to the challenge of accessing communications that are increasingly end-to-end encrypted.
“MI5 and counter terrorism policing are currently running well over 500 live operations, a third up since the beginning of the year, involving roughly 3,000 subjects of interest.
“In addition, there are over 20,000 further individuals, or closed subjects, of interest, who have previously been investigated and may again pose a threat.”
She added that MI5 and the police had disrupted 22 Islamist terrorist plots since the murder of Lee Rigby in May 2013, including nine since the Westminster attack in March.
Mrs Rudd also rejected suggestions by Labour shadow Home Secretary Diane Abbott that police cuts had made Britain more vulnerable…”

Jack, who had Down’s syndrome and a heart condition, died at Leicester Royal Infirmary in February 2011, hours after being admitted with sickness and vomiting.
Bawa-Garba made the ‘remarkable error’ of mistakenly placing Jack under a ‘do not resuscitate’ order after confusing him with a two-year-old who had been discharged…”

“Images showing the next generation of Taliban militants pouring over their exam papers – as armed invigilators patrol above them – have emerged from Afghanistan.
Taliban chiefs have been setting up a string of of schools in their strongholds in Afghanistan and remote parts of Pakistan to indoctrinate boys into their fundamentalist teachings that embrace Sharia law.
The Imam Ghazali School is in the Hindu Kush mountain range north of the capital Kabul and the pictures were released by the Taliban’s official TV channel…”

“Heavy airstrikes by the Saudi-led coalition rocked Yemen’s capital on Tuesday, striking Sanaa’s densely populated neighborhoods in apparent retaliation for the killing of former President Ali Abdullah Saleh by the Shiite rebels who control the city.
Residents reported heavy bombing, and a U.N. official said at least 25 airstrikes hit the capital over the past 24 hours. The Saudi-led coalition battling the rebels had thrown its support behind Saleh just hours before his death, as the longtime strongman’s alliance with the rebels unraveled…”
AU to help evacuate 15,000 migrants from Libya this year (abcnews, Dec 5, 2017)

“The African Union and member states will repatriate more than 15,000 migrants stranded in Libya by the end of the year amid outrage over recent footage that showed migrants being auctioned off as slaves, the AU’s deputy chairman said Tuesday.
Between 400,000 and 700,000 African migrants are in dozens of camps across Libya, often under inhumane conditions, AU Commission chairman Moussa Faki Mahamat told a summit of European and African leaders last week. The International Organization for Migration says more than 423,000 migrants have been identified in the chaotic North African country, most of them from impoverished countries across sub-Saharan Africa.
Libya’s modern-day slavery came to international attention after the CNN footage showed migrants being auctioned off for as little as $400. Thousands of migrants make their way to Libya in hopes of eventually reaching Europe via the Mediterranean, often facing desertion and inhumane treatment by smugglers.
One Nigerian recently repatriated told The Associated Press about his ordeal.
“I paid 500,000 naira ($1,600) to one Nigerian called Mr. Fix It in 2016 to facilitate my illegal journey to Europe through Libya across the Mediterranean Sea. But on getting to Libya, he abandoned all of us to our fate,” the man said, speaking on condition of anonymity because of fears for his security.
He said he and others were detained by Libyan militia members and kept in a makeshift prison where they were tortured and starved. More than 10 Nigerians, including girls, were taken away and sold as slaves. He was lucky to be rescued by security forces, he said. He was repatriated in July.
The man is among more than 5,000 Nigerians repatriated from Libya in the past two years, according to Abike Dabiri-Erewa, senior special assistant to Nigeria’s president on diaspora and foreign affairs. Another 250 Nigerians were on their way back from Libya on Tuesday, the government said.
The voluntary evacuations from Libya of more than 15,000 migrants will take place in cooperation with the International Organization for Migration, African Union deputy chairman Kwesi Quartey said Tuesday on Twitter. The continental body will help to issue emergency travel documentation and facilitate travel, he said. He did not specify which countries’ migrants would be sent home.
The African and European leaders last week drew up an emergency evacuation plan for migrants, agreeing to airlift at least 3,800 stranded in one of more than 40 detention centers in Libya. Morocco, France, and Germany will provide the air carriers, according to Gambian senior foreign affairs official Ebrima Jobe.
Separately, nearly 200 Gambians were repatriated on Nov. 30, while between 4,000 and 5,000 are still in Libyan camps, Jobe said. He criticized the “African brothers” who act as middlemen for the smugglers.
“Our criminal justice system should without delay initiate the prosecution of all those Africans involved,” he said.
Other African countries are now joining in on repatriations, including Ivory Coast and Cameroon.
Europe has struggled to stem the flow of tens of thousands of Africans making the dangerous crossing of the Mediterranean. But many Africans still make the journey, risking death and abuse, saying high unemployment and climate change leave them little choice.
Amnesty International has criticized Europe, saying its primary aim is to close the Mediterranean route and leave hundreds of thousands of migrants trapped in Libya and facing horrific abuses.
“Plans which overwhelmingly prioritize the ‘voluntary’ return of people now stuck in Libya to their country of origin without an effective system for assessing and meeting asylum needs or offering more resettlement places will end up as a mechanism for mass deportation,” said John Dalhuisen, Amnesty International’s Director for Europe.”

Saudis say most detained in graft sweep agree to settlement (abcnews, Dec 5, 2017)

“Saudi Arabia’s attorney general said Tuesday that most of the 159 individuals detained in a corruption sweep have agreed to pay a financial settlement a month after the kingdom’s powerful crown prince launched the unprecedented purge against high-level princes, businessmen, officials and military officers.
A little more than a week ago, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman told the New York Times that 95 percent of detainees agreed to pay a settlement in cash or shares of their business. The high-level detainees have been held at the luxurious Ritz Carlton in the capital, Riyadh, since Nov. 4.
Among those released after agreeing to pay an undisclosed sum is Prince Miteb bin Abdullah, who once headed the National Guard, according to someone close to the negotiations who spoke with The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the case.
However, Prince Miteb’s brother, Prince Turki bin Abdullah, remains imprisoned, as does billionaire Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, among other royals, former ministers and several titans of the Saudi business world, such as Bakr Binladin, who runs the Saudi Binladin Group.
Attorney General Saud al-Mojeb said in a statement that 320 people have been subpoenaed since the start of the crackdown and that 376 bank accounts belonging to individuals have been frozen “as a precautionary measure.”
“Most detainees faced with corruption allegations by the committee agreed to a settlement. The necessary arrangements are being finalized to conclude such agreements,” al-Mojeb said.
The crown prince heads the newly-formed anti-corruption committee, which has carried out the orders of arrest, investigations and negotiations.
International investors have been spooked by the arrests, while critics and analysts have said the purge was also aimed at sidelining and silencing the crown prince’s rivals and critics both within and outside the royal family.
Al-Mojeb said that settlement agreements help to recoup state funds and assets and eliminate the need for prolonged litigation. He said settlement negotiations could be completed within a few weeks.
The committee has previously said that investigators uncovered at least $100 billion in corruption.
If detainees admit to the allegations, then an agreement is reached for a settlement in exchange for a pardon from the committee, the attorney general said. If an agreement cannot be reached, the detainee will be prosecuted, investigated further and could face six months or more imprisonment.”
Case against 9/11 defendant starts to emerge at Guantanamo (abcnews, Dec 5, 2017)

“An FBI agent began presenting the case Tuesday against a Guantanamo Bay prisoner charged with aiding the Sept. 11 terror attack, outlining the first steps in an investigation that eventually led to a complex legal proceeding that has now dragged on for more than six years.
Special Agent James M. Fitzgerald took the witness stand as prosecutors challenged a defense motion to dismiss the case against Mustafa Ahmed al-Hawsawi on the grounds that he does not meet the criteria under international law to be charged by a military commission at the U.S. base in Cuba.
It was a pre-trial hearing but it provided the most detailed look to date at the prosecution’s case against al-Hawsawi, a 49-year-old Saudi portrayed by his lawyer as, at most, only a minor participant in the plot that killed nearly 3,000 people in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania.
Fitzgerald went through the initial steps in the investigation as prosecutors showed video of the attacks and al-Qaida propaganda films to spectators who included a handful of relatives of people killed in the attacks, some of whom appeared to choke up with emotion. His presentation was matter-of-fact but it nonetheless contained harrowing details such as a reference to the cockpit voice recording of the plane that crashed into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania, after the passengers rose up against the hijackers.
“It sounded like a life and death struggle,” he said.
Al-Hawsawi and his four co-defendants are accused of providing logistical and financial aid to the hijackers. They were arraigned in May 2011 on charges that include nearly 3,000 counts of murder in violation of the law of war, terrorism and hijacking and could get the death penalty if convicted. They will eventually face trial before a jury of military officers but a date has not been set.
Prosecutors are now trying to show that al-Hawsawi meets the definition of an “alien unprivileged enemy belligerent” as defined by the Military Commission Act of 2009. The four co-defendants, who include Khalid Shaikh Mohammad, who has portrayed himself as the mastermind of the attack, are not raising the same challenge at this time but may do so later.
All five signed a joint statement in 2009 in which they asked God to “accept our contributions to the great attack” and praised the hijackers as martyrs, which was introduced by prosecutors and Fitzgerald in the hearing.
There have been 26 rounds of pretrial hearings at the base amid ongoing legal disputes over what evidence can be used against the defendants in the commission, which combines elements of civilian and military law. The five prisoners were held in clandestine CIA detention facilities around the world before the U.S. announced in September 2006 that they were being held at Guantanamo and would face trial by military commission, which combines elements of military and civilian law.
Defense lawyers say statements the men made to the FBI were tainted by treatment they endured in CIA custody under a brutal interrogation program that is now widely viewed as amounting to torture. Many of the details about the program have been declared classified and the slow pace of the proceedings is largely due to defense efforts to force the government to disclose them.”
