    • IMO this is far more important than the failure of the police to stop muslims praying in parks (symbolic though that is) as it mean’s that you do NOT have the right to defend yourself, your family and your home when invaded by armed felons. I do acknowledge that this has been the rule in the UK for quite some time but it makes no difference. The UK leadership are BLATANTLY failing to both protect their citizens and to allow them to protect themselves.

    • This is what happens when a nation of people give their government an exclusive monopoly on violence. Once law enforcement (and the military) have a corner on application of force, their competence and speed-of-response become a flywheel for domestic criminal activity or threats to national interests abroad.

      Criminals (and terrorists) will carefully tune their activities to fly beneath ordinary surveillance. This is critical because Britain, Sweden, France, and Germany have now imported such massive criminal bases that the “acceptable noise floor” (i.e., bottom threshold of response) slowly rises to exclude responding to incidents like vandalism and random molestation.

      Combine all of this with Britain’s own horrific Politically Correct police forces and one goes through a looking glass to an alien place where criminals are pampered, telling the truth can be deemed “hate speech”, and bacon can get you a death sentence.

      For all of America’s numerous shortcomings, its birth was overseen by men of astounding wisdom who thoroughly understood the need for a well-armed popular militia that decreased centralization of power within state and federal governments.

      While some of that centralization has managed to occur anyway, the American people have always seemed to understand the need for counterbalancing these force concentrations with a veritable homegrown arsenal of private weapons. Legitimate governments must serve their people. When people serve their governments, that is tyranny (or far worse).

      Sadly, Britain, Sweden, France, and Germany will now have to serve as test beds and incubators for what functional countermeasures their are for so much voluntarily imported “immigration”. Canada, the USA, and all of the Middle European countries would do well to make individual case studies of these European nations.

      Journalistic ethics forces me to note how many people would even argue that Canada belongs in the case study set and not in the observers group.

  1. Off Duty French Soldiers Arrested After Defending Woman From Robbery (breitbart, Apr 5, 2018)
    http://www.breitbart.com/london/2018/04/05/off-duty-french-soldiers-arrested-fighting-off-youth-robbing-woman/

    “A trio of French soldiers on leave was arrested and face prosecution after they intervened to help a woman who was being robbed by a youth on the streets of Paris.

    The soldiers, who were said to have been drinking at the time, came across a woman in distress as she was being robbed of her mobile phone in Paris’s Saint-Ambroise metro station early Sunday morning, Le Parisien reports.

    The men, aged between 21 and 24, ran after the thief and caught up to him near the Boulevard Voltaire in the 11th arrondissement and confronted him. A source close to the investigation said the men attempted to retrieve the woman’s property but were met with resistance from the young man and a fight ensued.

    In the scuffle, the teen, who was found without any identification papers or an address, had one of his teeth chipped by one of the soldiers.

    Following an investigation by the Railway Network Squad (BRF), the three soldiers and the youth were arrested. “At the public prosecutor’s office, they did not agree on what to do,” a source close to the investigation said and added: “Some wanted to give them up to the military. Finally, a prosecutor’s assistant decided to prosecute the soldiers.”

    While in custody, one of the soldiers is said to have remarked: “If we have to be in custody, next time, we will not intervene to defend a victim.”

    The incident comes after over 1,600 Paris residents signed a petition to demand the government do more to combat roving gangs of underage migrants terrorising people on the streets of the city. Residents of the La Chapelle, Goutte-d’Or, and Barbès, including local business owners, have complained of targetted attacks including theft from the underage migrants.

    Random acts of violence are also increasing both in Paris and across France as a whole, with an estimated 777 random acts of violence being committed across the country every day.”

    • The arrest of the three soldiers is having the desired effect, the soldiers are saying they won’t try to help or save anyone from now on. The French government is pushing the people to recognize that they have no rights and that the criminals and Moslems have a lot of rights.

      • A real pity that they never killed him as then they would have to stand trial and just maybe the armed forces might have something to say about it. THAT seems to be the sole hope of the west as the rank and file are very anti-islam and anti-Left.

        • Revolutions of all types including military coups need a leader, yes some have started without a leader but the vast majority of them have been crushed. The retired French General that was speaking out about what was happening was crushed by the French Government because he had the potential of being a revolutionary leader. This is why the French Government has been working so hard to demonize Marine le Pen.

          Yes if the soldiers were facing life in the pen for their actions their martyrdom might have caused some military officers to step up as a Coup leader to prevent a massive mutiny. Barring that they need a civilian leader (religious or secular) who can become the new ruler of France. Sadly I don’t see anyone like that in France, granted I don’t know all that is happening in the European nations.

          I do see a few in Britain that have the potential to be revolutionary leaders but the ones that could cause the entire nation to rise in revolt are being careful not to get enough face time to become the next Cromwell.

    • Please see my above comment a monopoly on violence.

      This particular case in France is asylum-grade lunacy. Most cops (except MPs) would regard active duty soldiers as being ex officio deputized in comparison to this tidy crucifixion.

      The Paris incident is a heads-up to soldiers everywhere that even national military service stands for nothing in the face of Multiculturalism.

  2. Khan’s London: Lead Surgeon Says Hospital Like Afghan War Zone, Two More Killed Overnight (breitbart, Apr 5, 2018)
    http://www.breitbart.com/london/2018/04/05/lead-surgeon-london-hospital-war-zone-two-slaughtered-overnight/

    “Hospitals in Mayor Sadiq Khan’s London resemble those in a war zone, a senior surgeon working to save victims of the capital’s surging violent crime wave has said.

    The shock comments made Thursday morning come after two more men were killed overnight, a couple of days after another night of violence saw a boy, 16, stabbed to death and a 17-year-old girl shot in a “drive by”.

    Wednesday night’s killings, both in Hackney, East London, brought the death toll from suspected murder in the capital to 50 so far this year, pulling away from New York City, which London overtook at the weekend.

    Dr. Mark Griffiths, the lead surgeon at Barts Health NHS Trust in East London, said that knife and gun wounds had moved from a “niche” part of his job to a daily chunk of his workload, and a growing number of victims were “children”.

    “Some of my military colleagues have described their practice here as similar to being at [Camp] Bastion,” Mr. Griffiths told the Today programme on BBC Radio 4.

    “We used to look after people in their twenties. Now people are often in their mid to late teens and children in school uniforms are being admitted under our care with knife and gun wounds.”…”

  3. Fear grips Yemen’s Aden as deadly attacks target clerics (abcnews, Apr 5, 2018)
    http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/fear-grips-yemens-aden-deadly-attacks-target-clerics-54248489

    “A spate of deadly drive-by shootings targeting Muslim clerics and preachers has sparked panic and fear in Yemen’s southern port city of Aden, prompting some imams to quit and abandon their mosques while dozens have fled the country.

    The killings have also brought attention to a rivalry that has emerged in Aden as yet another layer to Yemen’s complex civil war…”

      • Selected assassination is a weapon that isn’t popular in most western nations but it can be a effective one, the problem with using this tactic during an asymmetric civil war is that both sides can and usually will start using it. In the war in Arabia both sides know that if they lose their leaders are dead so they might as well use it.

        • Think of the left wing terror campaigns during the 1970s, this was one of their favorite tactics, some of the things they did to kill their target were quite ingenious.

    • Yemeni life is cheap. They have a tradition of killing each other, target or random, doesn’t matter.

      That’s just what they do. To celebrate weddings they fire guns into the air – and sometimes into each other.

      They’re rent by sectarian and tribal factions, besides the step-brother vs full-brother traditional murders. Then the honor-killings, witchcraft slayings…

      We never bothered following the stories. How many inner-city murders in the USA do we pay attention to?

  4. Kashmir students clash with India police after lockdown ends (abcnews, Apr 5, 2018)
    http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/kashmir-students-clash-india-police-lockdown-ends-54250671

    “Students protesting Indian rule in disputed Kashmir clashed with government forces on Thursday after authorities reopened schools following the killings of 13 rebels and five civilians.

    Government forces fired tear gas to stop students from marching at several colleges in Indian-controlled Kashmir’s main city of Srinagar. The students chanted anti-India slogans and marched on the streets in the city center while demanding an end of Indian rule over the region.

    Clashes also erupted in other parts of Kashmir as students hurled rocks at police and paramilitary soldiers. They also burned a police bunker in Srinagar.

    Some students were reportedly injured in the clashes.

    The students were protesting the killings of 13 rebels and five civilians on Sunday in fighting with Indian troops. At least three Indian soldiers were also killed in the fighting, which was followed by a security clampdown and a strike called by separatists who challenge India’s sovereignty over Kashmir.

    Authorities shut schools and colleges and canceled university exams in an attempt to stop protests by students.

    Earlier Thursday, businesses and shops reopened and public transport resumed operating in the region after four days.

    In recent years, Kashmiris, mainly students, have displayed open solidarity with anti-India rebels and sought to protect them by engaging troops in street clashes during military operations against the militants. The protests have persisted despite the Indian army chief warning that tough action would be taken against stone-throwers during counterinsurgency operations.

    Nuclear-armed India and Pakistan each administer part of Kashmir, but both claim it in its entirety.

    Anti-India sentiment runs deep in Kashmir, which in recent years has seen renewed rebel attacks and repeated public protests against Indian rule.

    Rebels have been fighting Indian rule since 1989, demanding Kashmir be made part of Pakistan or become an independent country. India accuses Pakistan of arming and training the rebels, a charge Pakistan denies.

    Most Kashmiris support the rebels’ cause while also participating in civilian street protests against Indian control.

    Nearly 70,000 people have been killed in the uprising and the ensuing Indian military crackdown.”

  5. Turkish spy agency has snatched 80 people from 18 countries (abcnews, Apr 5, 2018)
    http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/turkish-spy-agency-snatched-80-people-18-countries-54250326

    “Turkish Deputy Prime Minister Bekir Bozdag says Turkey’s intelligence agency has snatched at least 80 Turkish nationals wanted for their alleged links to the 2016 failed coup, in operations in 18 countries.

    Bozdag’s comments during a television interview Thursday came after Turkey secretly arranged the deportation from Kosovo of six Turkish men accused of supporting the coup attempt, sparking the dismissal of Kosovo’s interior minister and intelligence chief and criticism from human rights groups.

    Bozdag did not name the countries. He said such operations would continue.

    Turkey accuses U.S-based cleric Fethullah Gulen of masterminding the 2016 failed coup. Gulen denies the accusation. Those deported from Kosovo worked in schools and clinics supported by Gulen’s movement.

    Turkey has arrested more than 38,000 people for links to Gulen and fired some 110,000 public servants.”

  6. Why haven’t cheating FBI lovebirds been fired yet?

    I find it amazing that Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, those Trump-hating spouse-cheating FBI lovebirds, haven’t been fired yet — even though they greatly compromised the probe into Hillary Clinton’s mishandling of her government e-mails.

    What’s even more astounding is that a source tells me that neither has lost security clearance despite being demoted. I’m told that clearances are routinely pulled even when someone is caught having an extramarital affair.

    The FBI didn’t return calls for comment.

    Richard: 1) If they aren’t working for the DOJ they don’t have to talk to the IG, 2) They may be singing like birds to try and stay our of jail.

    I know which I believe, you make up your mind.

      • Yup, and the big question is how many others involved in these crimes are working to get deals by testifying for their bosses and their political masters. There are some indications that this is happening, there are also rumors that are being repeated by people who have the contacts to have a good idea what is happening. Dan Bongino keeps saying give Sessions until the end of April or the middle of May.

          • We need the evidence on the scandals to be made public and we need the left to keep pushing gun control. The more of both the more people who will turn out to keep the Dems out of power.

  7. American Crime Story’ Season 4 Won’t Be About Monica Lewinsky, Ryan Murphy Says

    Decision comes as History bails on Clinton-Lewinsky story “Breach”

    Ryan Murphy isn’t touching the Monica Lewinsky-Bill Clinton scandal after all.

    The showrunner said he’s scrapping the proposed season of his FX anthology series “American Crime Story,” which would have followed the story that rocked the nation in the ’90s about a then-intern’s affair with the then-POTUS, according to an interview with The Hollywood Reporter published Wednesday. The report came on the same day History decided to scrap the Clinton impeachment drama series “Breach.”

    Jeffrey Toobin’s 2000 best-seller, “A Vast Conspiracy: The Real Sex Scandal that Nearly Brought Down a President,” had been optioned as the source material for the season over a year ago. But Murphy decided against going through with his version of Lewinsky’s tale. And he said that to her face.

  8. Male voice choir is told it must let women join

    The push for gender equality has forced many men to change their tune. Now it has gone beyond golf clubs and dinner societies to target a male voice choir.

    Members of the Derbyshire Constabulary choir decried political correctness yesterday after the area’s chief constable severed all ties with them.

    Peter Goodman, who took over the force last summer, had told the choir to accept women or face losing its 60-year association with the police service. After concluding that a mixed group would take years to establish, the choir said that it would change its name later this year to the Derbyshire Community Male Voice Choir.

    Kevin Griffiths, its chairman, accused Mr Goodman of trying to deflect attention from the force’s gender pay gap. “Derbyshire has…

    The leaders of Russia, Turkey and Iran met in Ankara for talks yesterday as they cemented their unlikely alliance over Syria in a challenge to US and western influence in the region.

    President Putin, President Erdogan and President Rouhani vowed to work together to create a ‘lasting ceasefire’, build a hospital for wounded civilians in Eastern Ghouta and allow refugees to return home.

    But the deepening ties between the trio will be a concern to the US as its ability to influence the future of the country and the region wains and President Trump openly mulls pulling troops out.

      • Turkey Expands Operations in Syria and Iraq

        Turkey’s entrance into Afrin in northern Syria gives it a contiguous area of control from Jarabulus to northern Idlib.

        The Turks have made clear they have no intention of handing these areas over to the Assad regime.

        Turkish aircraft have in recent days been in action over northern Iraq, bombing what Ankara claims to be PKK guerrillas in the Qasr-e area of Erbil province.

        The Turkish military is presently engaged 15 km. across the border into the Kurdish Regional Government area.

        Ankara has set as a strategic goal to destroy the Kurdish gains that resulted from the fragmentation of Syria and Iraq over the last half decade.

Trump wants our men out of Syria, but he hasn’t said out of the Middle East, leaving them in Syria without more support then we can give them is asking them to become suicide troops.

  10. More than a million undocumented immigrants have received California driver’s licenses

    More than 1 million undocumented immigrants have received driver’s licenses, the California Department of Motor Vehicles announced Wednesday.

    Assembly Bill 60, authored by then-Assemblyman Luis Alejo in 2013, required California DMV offices to issue driver’s licenses to undocumented immigrants as long as they can prove their identity and residence within the state. The law has led to 1,001,000 undocumented immigrants receiving licenses as of March 31 but doesn’t give the licensees carte blanche to drive outside of California or fly across state or federal borders.

    “Immigrants are getting tested, licensed and insured and this is making our roads safer for everyone,” said Alejo, now a Monterey County supervisor, in a prepared statement. “Today, we see the law working the way it was intended to and has dramatically improved the lives of a million immigrants and their families.”

  11. Mexico starts giving caravan migrants transit visas

    MATIAS ROMERO, Mexico (AP) — The Mexican government began handing out transit or humanitarian visas to people in a caravan of Central American migrants, and said the procession of 1,000 or so migrants that drew criticism from President Donald Trump had begun to disperse.

    Some migrants who awoke at the camp Wednesday said they would try their luck at requesting asylum in the United States, others in Mexico.

    Elmer Zelaya Gomez, 38, from eastern El Salvador, has been sleeping with his wife and three children aged 7, 13 and 14 on the soccer field under blankets as they wait for temporary transit visas from Mexico to continue to the US border. He hopes to request asylum and join relatives in New York.

    By Bridget Johnson April 3, 2018

    Hamza bin Laden went after the Saudi kingdom’s relationship with America in a new video intended to incite Muslims to rise up against Middle Eastern rulers they see as too allied with the West.

    The video is the sixth episode in a series by the son of Osama bin Laden; Hamza said that in addition to trying to spur “our dear people in the Arabian Peninsula” to rise up “against the criminal tyrants and rulers of the country,” al-Qaeda wants to incite people “to liberate the place of revelation from the Crusaders, and protect the Two Holy Mosques from the Safavids, and establish a complete and rightly guided Islamic system.”

    Venezuela’s currency is worth even less than previously believed, with new trackers of the black-market rate showing deep discounts compared with the long-standing benchmark gauge.

    Rates from the widely watched Dolartoday.com, known for arousing President Nicolas Maduro’s ire on state TV, have lagged behind other markers that show prices about 30 percent weaker. While the U.S.-based website posts a rate of 251,000 bolivars per dollar, DolarPro has it at 362,000 and e-wallet AirTM is selling dollars for 313,000 bolivars each.

    “It’s about confidence, and Venezuelans feel that their dollars are worth more than DolarToday rates,” said Henkel Garcia, the director of the Caracas consultancy Econometrica. “In a market lacking information, new indicators will appear, and consumers will ultimately determine their sell price.”

  15. In display of signs used in ‘March for Our Lives,’ D.C. church denounces prayer
    By LU Staff April 4, 2018

    Offering thoughts and prayers at times of tragedy has been mocked by liberals before. The day after the terrorist mass shooting in San Bernardino, Calif., New York’s Daily News ran a full-page headline reading “God Isn’t Fixing This.”

    But when a church comes out and apparently denounces prayer in the aftermath of an horrific event, you know something is wrong.

    That is what the First Congregational United Church of Christ in D.C. did when it featured signs from the “March for Our Lives” in its windows that dismissed the power of prayer and demanded instead stricter gun control measures.

    The church featured several of the protesters’ signs in its windows at the front entrance to the building. Among the signs were one that read “Thoughts & Prayers Don’t Save Lives” and another that said “We Need Gun Control, Not Thoughts & Prayers” in large, bold lettering. Rev.

    Audrey Price, the Senior Supply Minister of the church, sent a statement to The Daily Caller News Foundation, defending the signs as part of an “art installation.”

    “A 34-year-old Pakistani asylum seeker allegedly murdered his two-year-old daughter by slashing her throat, a German court heard today.

    Sohail A. was described in Hamburg Court as a violent tyrant who terrorised his 32-year-old wife and their two children before allegedly murdering daughter Ayesha in October last year.

    Sohail attacked his daughter in the family’s flat in Hamburg after his wife Lubna had left to report a domestic violence attack to the police.

    She returned to the flat accompanied by several police officers to find her daughter murdered with a bloody knife beside her, and no sign of Sohail.

    The court heard that the attack with a kitchen knife was so violent the toddler was ‘practically beheaded.’

    Today, the prosecutor alleged that he ‘killed her in a rage to punish his wife.’

    Sohail fled after the killing, and was caught by Spanish police in San Sebastian a week later and extradited back to Germany.

    It was discovered that he had had his asylum application rejected six years prior to the killing, and had remained in Germany…”

    Hundreds were rounded up, including princes from rival parts of the Saudi royal family and some of the country’s wealthiest businessmen

    Turkish officials are demanding a sentence of 35 years in prison for American pastor and North Carolina native Andrew Craig Brunson, who was indicted in Turkey for allegedly committing crimes on behalf of terror organizations.

    Brunson, 50, was running a small church in Izmir and lived in Turkey for the past 23 years. He and his wife, Norine, were originally detained in October of 2016 on charges of immigration violation. Norine was later released, but authorities continued to hold Andrew and later upped the charges against him to terrorism.

    Despite the government’s claims about the impending surgeries, Iran’s team was called “unethical” for being filled with stronger, faster men, according to The Telegraph.

    The news broke after an Iranian official, Mojtabi Sharifi, admitted that “[Eight players] have been playing with Iran’s female team without completing sex change operations.”

    Soccer authorities ordered all members of Iran’s team to undergo gender testing. The names of the males in the team were not identified.

    “Gender change operations are legal in Iran according to a fatwa – or religious ruling – pronounced by the late Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, spiritual leader of the 1979 Islamic revolution,” the Telegraph reports.

    The revelation is nothing new for Iran’s female teams. The problem has been extant for a decade, at least. Rumors abounded in 2010 that members of the female team were men and the nation’s soccer authority introduced random gender checks in 2014 after members of the women’s team were revealed to be men.

    Female athletes face a series of challenges in the oppressive Muslim nation. Women are still unable to travel unless their husbands or fathers give them permission and the captain of Iran’s national female team, Niloufar Ardalan, was recently prevented from accompanying the team to a game in Malaysia because her husband would not allow her to fly there.

    “As a Muslim woman, I wanted to work for my country’s flag to be raised [at the games], rather than traveling for leisure and fun,” Ardalan said.

    “I wish authorities would create [measures] that would allow female athletes to defend their rights in such situations,” she added.

    • BBC –Iranian TV censors Italian football badge

      Eagle-eyed viewers have noticed that Iranian state television censored the logo of an Italian football club during its coverage of UEFA Champions League football.

      While AS Roma were being roundly beaten by FC Barcelona in the competition’s quarter-finals last night, people watching Iran TV’s third channel noticed that producers had blurred out a female wolf’s teats on the club badge.

      The team from the Italian capital’s logo is the image from ancient myth of Rome’s twin founders Romulus and Remus being suckled by the Capitoline Wolf.

      However, that appeared to be too much for bosses at Iran’s Voice and Vision organisation, and the club’s badge appeared on screen with the nipples clearly blurred.

      The move was greeted with taunts and mockery on social media.

      “In 3,000 years, Remus and Romulus were only deprived of their mother’s milk, but Iran’s state broadcaster deprived them of even a wolf’s milk,” Denmark-based Iranian sports journalists Mehdi Rostampour wrote on his Telegram channel.

      “People could have been provoked by the wolf’s breasts!” said one Twitter user, while another mocked the producers’ prudishness by claiming “We could have touched ourselves”.

      However, one user expressed their lack of surprise: “They’re so meticulous.”

  25. Turkey Accused of Allowing Migrants to ‘Surge’ into Europe as Europol Tracks 65,000 People-Smugglers (breitbart, Apr 5, 2018)
    http://www.breitbart.com/london/2018/04/05/migrants-surge-greece-europol-65000-people-smugglers/

    “Turkey has been accused of allowing migrants to “surge” into Greece amid a dispute over EU funding, as Europol reveals they are tracking some 65,000 people-smugglers.

    Greece was on the frontline at the height of the migrant crisis in 2015, with over 800,000 arriving from Turkey by sea over the course of the year.

    The influx was reduced dramatically after the European Union agreed to transfer some 3 billion euros to the Turkish government to stem the influx, but Ankara has been accused of loosening its borders again and allowing over 5,000 migrants to enter Greece over the first two months of 2018.

    The surge came after it was revealed that Germany, France, Austria, Sweden, Denmark, and Finland are arguing with the European Commission over whether another 3 billion euros should come from the bloc’s central budget or national budgets…”

  26. Refugee Mosque Plans on Small Scottish Island ‘Threat’ to Liberty, ‘Unwelcome’, Says Christian Community (breitbart, Apr 5, 2018)
    http://www.breitbart.com/london/2018/04/05/mosque-scottish-island-syrian-refugees-threat-unwelcome-christian/

    “Church leaders of the staunchly-Christian community on the Isle of Lewis, Scotland, have called plans to build a mosque for just six Syrian refugee families a “threat” to “religious and civil liberties”.

    Leeds businessman Aihtsham Rashid, who lives more than 500 miles away from the small Outer Hebrides settlement, has already raised more than £20,000 of the £50,000 target to convert a derelict building into a mosque, reports The Herald.

    Crowdfunding after Western Isles Council approved a planning application for the first mosque on the Isle of Lewis, which has just 8,000 inhabitants, Mr. Rashid said that he had been “personally requested” to help the “Syrian refugee community”.

    “I am aiming to get this mosque up and running by Ramadhan to enable the local Muslims to read their first tarawee prayers,” he wrote on the crowdfunding page.

    “Please dig deep and reserve your very own house in paradise. ‘Whosoever shares in building a masjid for Allah, even if it is a small birds nest, Allah S.W.T will build for him/her a house in Paradise’,” the Muslim businessman added, quoting from Islamic texts.

    When the local council approved of the planning application for the mosque in Stornoway, the Free Church of Scotland called the decision “a most unwelcome development”.

    The staunchly Presbyterian Christian denomination said its main objection was not to the relocated people who have left warzones, but to the Islamic faith itself.

    The church said that Islam is “wholly inconsistent” with Biblical teachings and is “opposed to the Christian religion”.

    “If a mosque ever opens, Islam will be able to promote itself in our midst through public worship, despite its beliefs and practices being alien to the religious convictions of the vast majority of our community,” a statement from the presbytery read.

    “Islam is also incompatible with, and indeed a threat to, our religious and civil liberties,” it added…”

  27. Osama bin Laden’s son calls for Saudi Arabia UPRISING as he vows to redistribute wealth (express, Apr 5, 2018)
    https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/941853/osama-bin-laden-hamza-bin-laden-al-qaeda-terrorist-terrorism-uprising-saudi-arabia

    “OSAMA Bin Laden’s son has called for an uprising in Saudi Arabia and urged Muslims throughout the Middle East to rebel against their leaders and sever ties with the West.

    In the latest in a series of videos recorded by Hamza bin Laden, son of the former Al-Qaeda mastermind, he exhorted “our dear people in the Arabian Peninsula” to rise up “against the criminal tyrants and rulers of the country”.

    He added that al-Qaeda also wanted to incite people “to liberate the place of revelation from the Crusaders, and protect the Two Holy Mosques from the Safavids, and establish a complete and rightly guided Islamic system”.

    Bin Laden’s heir promised al-Qaeda would “redistribute the riches of the country among the poor and the needy and the deserving, so that the sons of the country can live honourably and in strength in the shade of the Shariah of the Lords of the Worlds”.

    He said: “It is incumbent upon our people in the Arabian Peninsula to prepare the equipment and materials, and prepare to protect the Two Holy Mosques.”

    He also called for people to support Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsular (AQAP) “with money and men”, adding: “Oh Muslim merchants, this is a chance for he who wants to obtain the honour of preparing an army to protect the Two Holy Mosques, and oh young Muslims, go forth lightly and heavily to your mujahidin brothers in Yemen the Land of Faith, to prepare the equipment and gain the necessary experience from them.”

    Bin Laden blasted the Saudi ruling family’s “loyalty transformed from Britain to America with the end of the Second World War, after the British star faded, and the American star appeared in its place”, which saw a new alliance forged between US President Franklin D Roosevelt and former Saudi King Abd al Aziz.

    He said “the meeting of Abd al Aziz with Roosevelt was not ordinary but rather was a dangerous and fateful meeting that dragged the Islamic Ummah into calamities and disasters”.

    He said this “resulted in the establishment of stronger relationships with America at the expense of Britain, and Ibn Sa’ud agreed to allow American ships”.

    He added America was allowed to use a large air base, and the American army had “for a period of five years, then returned after that to as Sa’ud with all the facilities built in it”.

    He added: ”This was a dangerous step, the first beginning of the military crusader presence in the Land of the Two Holy Places.”

    Describing King Abd al Aziz, the founder of Saudi Arabia, as “the greatest traitor”, he said: “His sons and grandchildren still walk on the same path as their father.”

    Now in his late 20s, bin Laden was officially brought into the family business two years ago and was designated a terrorist by the United States in January 2017.

    Footage released last year by the CIA showed him at the Abbottabad compound in Pakistan, which was raided by the US in 2011, resulting in Osama’s death. Osama bin Laden’s journal, also released by the CIA last week, shows the al-Qaeda leader talking about training Hamza on “Arab revolts”.

    Hamza bin Laden’s mother is his father’s third wife, Khayriya Saber, who raised the boy in Iran after the 9/11 attacks per agreement between al-Qaeda and the regime in Tehran. Hamza would later receive some training from the Taliban.

    In a November video and written statement, Hamza bin Laden urged retaliation against the specific Navy SEALs who raided the Abbottabad compound six years ago, killing his father, and urging young Muslims to revolt with a new, Shariah-based Arab Spring, as well as urging them to “martyr” themselves.

    He said: “Freedom cannot be earned with worthless pieces of paper cast inside a ballot box, nor by participation in polytheistic parliaments which legislate by man-made laws; it’s earned with the ultimate generosity, selfless sacrifice… jihad and martyrdom.””

  29. French police drag pregnant migrant off train

    Three French students in recent days released a video showing a squad of French police dragging a pregnant migrant woman off a train, holding her by her arms and legs, following a strenuous check punctuated by screams and protests. The woman was travelling with her family on a train from Ventimiglia and was forced to get off at Mentone, said the website Nice-Matin.

    The video sparked anger among viewers after it made the rounds on social media.

    “You all have to get off, get off!” the officers yell in the video to a man, who responds in English: “Why are you arresting me? I am with my wife, she’s pregnant”.

    The man refuses to hand over his identification and the officers decide to make the family get off the train at Mentone, said Nice-Matin.

    The situation quickly degenerated as the man yelled: “Don’t touch my wife, she’s pregnant!” The woman said she didn’t feel well and was then dragged onto a bench in the station.

    The video was filmed with a cell phone by three students from Cannes who were reporting on the migrant situation in Ventimiglia, at the Italo-French border.

    The three students were also checked by police.

    The video, which was filmed in February, was then sent to the National Observatory on Police Violence.

    It ended up online on March 27, setting off controversy and anger.

  30. Bulgaria to extradite Moroccan man on terror charges (abcnews, Apr 5, 2018)
    http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/bulgaria-extradite-moroccan-man-terror-charges-54261613

    “A Bulgarian court has ordered the extradition of a Moroccan man wanted at home for terrorism charges over his alleged involvement with Islamic State militants.

    The district court in the southern town of Haskovo said Thursday that Nofal Rashid Zahri, 35, wanted by Interpol on terrorism related charges, will be extradited to Morocco. The decision cannot be appealed.

    Zahri was holding a fake Syrian passport when he was caught illegally crossing the border from Turkey on Jan. 13 with a group of migrants. The arrest warrant issued by Morocco alleges he is a “loyal member of the Islamic State militant group.”

    Zahri has admitted he worked for IS as an accountant, but says only to support his family.

    If found guilty by a Moroccan court, he could get 20 years in prison.”

  31. Turkey or Kurdish YPG militia? Pick a side, Turkish minister tells France (reuters, Apr 5, 2018)
    https://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-turkey-france-syria/turkey-or-kurdish-ypg-militia-pick-a-side-turkish-minister-tells-france-idUKKCN1HC29S

    “Turkey warned France on Thursday that it needed to choose who it wanted as an ally to fight Islamic State in Syria, and urged it to do what is necessary to ensure Kurdish militias leave the northern Manbij region.

    Relations between Ankara and Paris have been tense in recent weeks, with France increasingly criticising the two-month-old Turkish military operation against the Kurdish YPG in northern Syria, which Turkey considers a terrorist organisation

    That came to a head on March 30 after President Emmanuel Macron met a Syrian delegation including the YPG and its political arm, the PYD, and gave assurances of French support to help them stabilise northern Syria against Islamic State.

    “Our allies will need to make a choice in favour of Turkey in the fight against Islamic State and not the PYD/YPG,” Turkish European Affairs Minister, Omer Celik, told Reuters in an interview after meeting French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian.

    “I wanted to underline that we are expecting that France does nothing to encourage or support the YPG/PYD.”

    He dismissed any suggestion of France playing a mediating role between the two sides, saying that Paris needed to understand that the Kurdish Syrian groups were no different to the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), which has waged a decades-long insurgency against the state within Turkey.

    “I said that any help offered to the PYD/YPG would be deemed help for terrorism,” Celik said.

    France, like the United States, has already extended arms and training to the YPG-led militia in the fight against Islamic State, and has dozens of special forces members based in the region, which has infuriated Turkey.

    A PYD member in Paris said last week that Macron had promised to send more troops to northern Syria, provide humanitarian assistance and push for a diplomatic solution…”

  33. Daughter of Russian double agent speaks for first time since being poisoned with nerve agent

    The daughter of Russian double agent Sergei Skripal has released a statement to the media for the first time since she and her father were poisoned with the Russian-made nerve toxin Novichok on March 4.
    What’s the story?

    Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia were found slumped on a bench near a shopping center in Salisbury, England. Investigators later determined that two had been poisoned with Novichok, which had been developed by the Russians during the Cold War. They apparently came into contact with it on the front door of Sergei Skripal’s home in Salisbury. While Yulia is recovering and is now able to speak, her father remains in critical but stable condition.

    Hamza bin Laden went after the Saudi kingdom’s relationship with America in a new video intended to incite Muslims to rise up against Middle Eastern rulers they see as too allied with the West.

    The video is the sixth episode in a series by the son of Osama bin Laden; Hamza said that in addition to trying to spur “our dear people in the Arabian Peninsula” to rise up “against the criminal tyrants and rulers of the country,” al-Qaeda wants to incite people “to liberate the place of revelation from the Crusaders, and protect the Two Holy Mosques from the Safavids, and establish a complete and rightly guided Islamic system.”

      • Thank you, EB, for remembering the 2007 “Knoxville Horror”.

        It’s good to see Eric Boyd brought to justice. Although this is nothing like the justice that these vermin so richly deserve.

        That incident of brutal carjacking, gang rape, torture, and murder totally fell through the cracks (and down America’s memory hole) even as the media was sharpening its knives for the 2012 Trayvon Martin case, one of the most jaw-droppingly lopsided bits of reporting until the 2016 election campaign came along.

    Hampton Middle School has a problem.

    The school in Hampton, Georgia managed to make national news twice in one week.

    A sixth-grade teacher from the school was caught on tape ranting against Trump’s slogan of Make America Great Again. “Maybe he’s talking about it was great during segregation in the ‘60s. Is that what he’s talking about?”

    “He must be talking about when it was great for Europeans,” Johnetta Benton sneered. “Because when it comes to minorities, America has never been great for minorities.”

    Josie Orihuela , the Cuban-American student who tried to argue with her teacher, was told that she had no right to complain because her European ancestors have killed millions.

    The teacher, who was supposed to be talking about Black History Month, also claimed that all Americans were illegal immigrants who had stolen the land. “When you say immigrants are killing folks, that’s us. That’s you, you, you, you and you,” she said, pointing at the different students, including Josie.

  36. Head of Bloomberg’s Anti-Gun Group Screamed Obscenities at Pro-Trump Teen Girl

    #Resistance!

    HOUSTON – Investigators at the Harris County Precinct One Constable’s Office on Wednesday filed a disorderly conduct charge against West University Place Councilwoman Kellye Burke, after accusations that she berated a group of teenage girls over a Trump T-shirt.

    The girls said they were in line at Tiny’s Milk and Cookies in West U on Saturday, waiting to buy cookies for younger girls at their nearby church.

    “A tall, short-haired blond woman came up to them and screamed, ‘Grab em by the (expletive) girls!'” the father of one of the girls said. He did not want to be identified, fearing retaliation against his daughter.

    The girls initially tried to laugh it off, the father said.

    “Then, she yells it again!” the father said. “At that point the girls were getting kind of scared, and then the woman starts, you know, going, ‘MAGA! MAGA! MAGA!’ while shaking her fist.”

    One of the girls was wearing a shirt that read, “Trump: Make America Great Again,” the father said.

    Wasn’t that some glorious resistance? This heroic member of the resistance wasn’t going to let any teen girls at Tiny’s Milk and Cookies hang around in MAGA shirts without screaming obscenities at them. That’s how you fight the normalization of Trump.

  37. Mueller Comes Up Empty Against Trump
    Special prosecutor admits that the president is not a criminal target.
    2018-04-05T00:10:00-04:00
    Joseph Klein

    According to a report in the Washington Post, “Special counsel Robert S. Mueller III informed President Trump’s attorneys last month that he is continuing to investigate the president but does not consider him a criminal target at this point.” In other words, while Mr. Mueller still considers the president a subject of investigation, he has concluded, after nearly 11 months looking for something solid to use against President Trump, that he does not have enough evidence to charge the president with conspiring to collude with the Russians to interfere in the 2016 presidential election or, for that matter, with any other crime. Despite having gathered hundreds of thousands of documents for review, interviewed multiple witnesses, and gained guilty pleas for conduct unrelated to the Russian collusion investigation itself in return for full cooperation, Special Counsel Mueller has admitted that he lacks substantial evidence linking President Trump to the commission of any crime. Ironically, this matches the conclusion of former FBI Director James Comey himself before President Trump fired him.

    While this development is obviously welcome news to President Trump, he is not entirely out of the woods yet. The Washington Post article added that Mr. Mueller informed the president’s lawyers that “he is preparing a report about the president’s actions while in office and potential obstruction of justice.”

    • Interesting comment near the end about 2018 being the year of the “Neo-Luddites”.

      A few days ago Eeyore commented about becoming a Luddite. I replied about the IoT (Internet of Things) and coming employment dislocations that are going to disrupt the global economy, plus my own aversion to Social Media.

      There is a gigantic difference between the anti-technology people shown rioting in the video and other self-identified “Luddites” who are merely rejecting the mass mind-control being exerted by most of the tech titans. The video’s repeated caveats about dopamine addiction are of great importance. Dopamine is the brain’s equivalent of gustatory umami.

      Just as so many people have surrendered all use of violence to law enforcement or the military, so are they now relinquishing their own discriminatory powers of discernment or entertainment to agendas kicked out by focus groups or derived from veiled marketing goals.

      I make such a prior distinction because this “Neo-Luddite” movement dovetails rather precisely with Postmodernism. This is supremely unhealthy. So very few of this “snowflake generation” have even the slightest comprehension of the valiant efforts by millions that went into mastering both solid state digital electronics and the software that runs on these devices.

      This is a technology that won the Cold War, of which there is rather little understanding now. Yet,mobile device addiction is so ubiquitous the notion of “Neo-Luddites” discarding their smart phones is almost ludicrous.

      Equally disturbing is a common lack of knowledge among these younger generations about recent or ancient history . Especially when it comes to the sacrifices made by America’s military soldiers in past wars and conflicts.

      • Yucki says we are experiencing a culling of the herd to increase intelligence and survival instincts. The “Luddites” who reject social media (like me) are the ones best equipped to survive the coming chaos.
