Each day at just after midnight Eastern, a post like this one is created for contributors and readers of this site to upload news links and video links on the issues that concern this site. Most notably, Islam and its effects on Classical Civilization, and various forms of leftism from Soviet era communism, to postmodernism and all the flavours of galloping statism and totalitarianism such as Nazism and Fascism which are increasingly snuffing out the classical liberalism which created our near, miraculous civilization the West has been building since the time of Socrates.

This document was written around the time this site was created, for those who wish to understand what this site is about. And while our understanding of the world and events has grown since then, the basic ideas remain sound and true to the purpose.

So please post all links, thoughts and ideas that you feel will benefit the readers of this site to the comments under this post each day. And thank you all for your contributions.

This is the new Samizdat. We must use it while we can.

    After firing several warning shots at a building which was apparently a terror target, the IAF hit a building in Gaza with at least 5 rockets. The building also housed the Turkish government’s Anadolu News Agency.

    The building was destroyed, but no one was injured or killed in the IAF’s retaliatory attack.

    Turkey has condemned Israel’s actions, but have not condemned any of the hundreds of rockets that Gaza fired at Israel.

    https://www.jewishpress.com/news/global/europe/eurovision-event-cancelled-saturday-night-for-security-reasons/2019/05/04/ In less than two weeks, on May 14-18, the Eurovision Song Contest events will be launched in Tel Aviv, at a huge hangar on the exhibition grounds,
    Now that the BDS has failed to ruin the prestigious event, terrorist groups from Gaza are attempting to scare away European participants using direct, raw warfare. Prime Minister Netanyahu is facing a difficult choice at this point: punish the terrorists now, as many Israelis are pushing for, or wait until after the song festival.

    • David Horovitz:
      “With Israel’s Independence Day celebrations just a few days away, and the Eurovision Song Contest festivities following a week later, the Gaza terror groups are betting that Israel would rather make concessions than plunge into extensive conflict. Hence the calibrated targeting of Israel, rather than an all-out assault.…

      “[T]he notion that an imminent televised song competition would impact on Israel’s military strategizing may seem absurd, but mid-May’s Eurovision Song Contest is widely described as the world’s biggest annual music festival. Hundreds of millions of people are expected to watch it, and by extension to watch Israel.

      “A forced cancellation – for the first time in the contest’s 63-year history – would not merely be embarrassing for Israel. It would impact Israel’s international reputation and status, with significant economic implications long into the future, including but not limited to tourism.…”

      • So the thing to do is a fairly massive pummelling of all their military assets and key personnel in a few days then. Ok! Let’s do that.

    • From the above site:

      …The Joint Operations Room consist of thirteen militant factions. The heads of the organization are al-Qassam Brigades and Saraya al-Quds Brigades. The rest of the militant groups are.…

      The unification of most of the militant factions in Gaza poses a strategic challenge for the IDF. The days of uncoordinated attacks from the Gaza Strip may be a thing of the past. Hamas and Islamic Jihad have ushered in a new era where “armed resistance” isn’t simply lead by disparate groups.

      Hamas and Islamic Jihad convinced 11 other militant factions to operate together under a common interest. This has given smaller groups the opportunity to be a part of the “struggle” including the conservative jihadist militant group Saif al-Islam.

      The unification has produced results; as witnessed last November, militant groups unleashed a barrage of rockets against Israeli communities near the Gaza border.

      Kayed al-Ghoul, a member of the political bureau of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine told al-Monitor, “We need a unified resistance front — including the joint operations room — that has a single political decision and that aims at consolidating the capabilities of the resistance forces with one vision. The aim is to protect our people from Israel, reduce Palestinian losses and, most importantly, steer clear of instantaneous tactics and stick to strategy, including the agreement on any truce or appeasement with Israel.”

      In a possible war in Gaza, Israel may find itself fighting a unified organization that is coordinated with a clear goal in mind — a type of enemy it has not fought since the 2007 Lebanon war against Hezbollah.

      • If they are unifying and getting discipline Israel is in trouble, this gives them unified disciplined enemies on two fronts, Hezbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza.

        Scary times.

  2. Latest round of Gaza violence must be used to restore deterrence

    Analysis: Senior officials say Israel rejected the Egyptian ceasefire proposal, refusing to be dictated by the terror groups in Gaza, who apparently believed this flare-up would be over by Monday, when the holiday of Ramadan begins

    …The current flare-up, unlike many others in recent past, is characterized by new methods of warfare used by both sides. The Palestinians – Hamas, Islamic Jihad and other smaller terror groups in the Strip – have introduced a new self-produced rocket, which can reach only a few kilometers into Israel but is tipped with a uniquely heavy warhead.

    These rockets – called Burkan – were first developed in Syria in the midst of a civil war and their warheads usually contain dozens of kilograms of explosives. The terror groups thought the rocket would surprise the residents of Israeli communities near the Gaza border, but due to the rockets’ lack of precision, most of them landed in open spaces or failed to make it into Israeli territory altogether. This prompted Hamas to issue a statement, claiming Israel is hiding from the public the full extent of damage the rockets inflicted on the area.

    So far both Hamas and Islamic Jihad have refrained from increasing the rocket range to over 40 km (25 miles) from the Gaza border. Although the Palestinian factions did make good on their promise to strike the cities of Beer-Sheva and Ashdod, the attacks didn’t bear fruit as most of the rockets had been intercepted by the Iron Dome.…

    The Palestinian factions might have believed this flare-up would be over within a few hours since they probably didn’t want to wage battles during the Ramadan, which starts on Monday. Ramadan is considered to be a family holiday and dragging Gazan population into a war at this time would only increase the resentment to the Hamas leadership, which has ruled the Strip since 2007..…

    I’m not sold on this being a “family time” holiday. Seems just as likely to be a ramadamn perennial.

  4. It sickens me to have to put in a plug once again for pizzaidf.org…
    But here we are again with Israel’s young adults called to put their life on the line.
    This charity is the real thing run by volunteers. Way back during the 2nd antifada I had several email exchanges with Menachem the founder of pizza IDF. He is an artist by trade, a photographer. He is now rather long in the tooth and the charity has been taken over by his son and his wife.
    The concept is simple; you send money and they arrange to have local restaurants make food and deliver it. This way local communities like Sderot get business and the soldiers get pizza or burgers. Having seen MC’s video accounts, no one is going out to dinner… So, the local restaurants suffer.
    This is one way to help Sderot and the IDF soldiers get a pizza and some coke. They used to have other items like soup and chicken but it seems they have paired down their menu. I think they still do Purim baskets but this is not the season.
    Over the years, when ever there is a “flare up” I usually donate and have received some very nice emails in return. So, if you are looking for some small thing you could do, please consider Pizza IDF. I stand by them 100%

  7. Aircraft carrier sent to Middle East after indications Iran planned attack on US forces

    The United States is deploying an aircraft carrier strike group and a bomber task force to the Middle East on short notice in response to “clear indications” Iran and Iranian proxies were planning an attack on U.S. forces in the region, a U.S. official said.

    Late Sunday night, the White House made a surprise announcement that the USS Abraham Lincoln and a bomber task force were being deployed in response to unspecified “troubling and escalatory indications and warnings.”

    A statement from National Security Adviser John Bolton said the deployments were intended “to send a clear and unmistakable message to the Iranian regime that any attack on United States interests or on those of our allies will be met with unrelenting force.”

    “The United States is not seeking war with the Iranian regime, but we are fully prepared to respond to any attack, whether by proxy, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, or regular Iranian forces,” the statement continued.

    • Amidror: Iran behind the Gaza escalation
      “Why did the Islamic Jihad do this?” former national security adviser asks. “The answer is again and again and again – Iran.”

      Iran, through Palestinian Islamic Jihad – its proxy in Gaza – is behind the current escalation in the South, former national security adviser Yaakov Amidror said on Sunday.

      Amidror, in a conversation with The Israel Project, traced the current round of massive rocket fire on Israel to Friday, when an Islamic Jihad sniper fired on IDF soldiers patrolling the Gaza border, wounding two officers. Israel responded and killed two Hamas men, and then the rocket barrage began from Gaza.

      What made Friday’s shooting on the IDF patrol interesting, Amidror said, was that it took place precisely when Hamas and Islamic Jihad leaders were in Cairo putting the finishing touches on an agreement drawn up by Egypt that was designed to ease the tension in the South.

      But while its leaders were in Cairo, Islamic Jihad fired on the soldiers. At first, the organization tried to deny responsibility for the attack.

      “Why did the Islamic Jihad do this?” Amidror asked. “The answer is again and again and again – Iran.”

      Islamic Jihad, unlike Hamas, is a completely owned and operated Iranian subsidiary, Amidror said. “It was established by Iran, financed by Iran, and does what Iran wants it to do.”

      • Iran has sucked a US Carrier group away from the Med and into the Gulf region, this puts them in a better position to start the festivities around Israel.

  8. As ceasefire goes into effect, Netanyahu says Gaza campaign not over
    PM says Israel hit terror groups ‘with great force,’ is readying for next round of fighting; Hamas: Conflict ‘will not end until we regain our rights’

    Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday commented on reports of an Egyptian-brokered ceasefire deal in Gaza, after two days of fighting in which four Israelis were killed, saying that Israel was readying for further confrontations with terrorist groups in the coastal enclave.

    “Over the past two days, we have hit Hamas and Islamic Jihad with great force, attacking over 350 targets and terrorist leaders and activists, and destroying terrorist infrastructure,” Netanyahu said in a statement.

  9. TENSIONS FLARE Israeli army ‘planning ground invasion into Gaza’ after more than 450 rockets fired in just 24 hours

    Israel has been hitting targets in retaliation for the rocket attacks and is preparing ground forces

    ISRAEL is preparing for a ground invasion of Gaza if needed after the militants fired more than 450 rockets across the border, a military spokesman said.

    The latest round of violence began on Friday during protests against the blockade of Gaza which saw two Israeli soldiers wounded at the border fence.

  10. Papadopoulos: Joseph Mifsud said to have attended dinner with Hillary Clinton during 2016 campaign
    By J.E. Dyer May 6, 2019

    The information now tumbling out about the activities of U.S. federal agencies spying on Trump campaign in 2016 is turning into an avalanche. It will take time to sort through the pile-up, but of the recent disclosures, probably the most significant is the tacit acknowledgment – through a strategic “leak” to the New York Times – that federal agencies were running an operation against the Trump campaign by September 2016.

    September 2016 was when Stefan Halper made contact with George Papadopoulos to set up a meeting in London, ostensibly about Papadopoulos writing a paper for Halper on energy prospects in the Eastern Mediterranean. (There is a great deal more to say about that and related issues, but it will have to wait for a forthcoming article. There’s too much material to pack it all into one at this point.)

    The significance of the NYT article this past week is this. We are no longer disputing whether Halper’s outreach to Papadopoulos was related to Russiagate/Spygate. The anti-Trump camp is done with pooh-poohing that idea. The NYT article concedes that Halper’s contact with Papadopoulos was about gaining information on the Trump campaign.

    It’s a major and game-changing concession. Reader’s choice as to whether the objective of that contact was a defensive one (as framed in the NYT article), or represented aggressive, unjustified spying on Trump.

  11. Hillary Clinton: I didn’t lose in 2016. The election was ‘stolen’ from me
    By Ben Bowles May 6, 2019

    Foolish me. We’re into 2019, and I had naïvely supposed that the squawking over Hillary Clinton’s election loss in 2016 had died down. Yet, as I noted yesterday, a new “scientific” study suggesting that Clinton’s loss was a result of Jon Stewart vacating his spot as host of “The Daily Show” has brought the tired topic back into the fore.

    Hillary herself was nattering on about it Saturday night at an event in Los Angeles titled “Evening with the Clintons,” where she advised 2020 Democratic hopefuls, “You can run the best campaign, you can even become the nominee, and you can have the election stolen from you.”

  12. This was a post on Breitbart which I copied but forgot about. It says it all:
    Sorry for the long post folks, but it is important:

    This is not about Theresa May. In 2022 the UK officially becomes a region of the EU. The UK will no longer exist. This is the end goal of Theresa May and her supporters and handlers.
    The EU expected that we would vote to remain. They are not stupid. Oh sure they hide behind a smokescreen of bumbling incompetence but they are very sharp operators. They make strategic sacrifices in places to distract attention, you think Junker is a bumbling idiot? Of course he might be, probably is, but it’s all part of the charade whilst the serious operators go about their business.

    Mrs May was one of a dozen or more plants that is/was in place to fight for the position of prime minister. The EU realise that the population in the UK are educated and very curious, an African-esque coup would be stopped or at least greatly hindered. To parachute in a ‘technocrat’ like Italy and Spain had foisted on them was too much of a risk here in a much more EUrosceptic UK.

    So the answer is to use our system against us. It’s our rules and we stick by them as we always (pretty much) have. It’s the British way. The EU know this, they are very smart and wargame endlessly to cover developments and contingencies.

    As it stands right now Theresa May is the Prime Minister until 2022. The UK ceases to exist in 2022 according to the Treaty (sorry I’ve forgotten it’s name!) that will be signed then. Mrs May HAS to play for time. That is why she has started delaying the UK’s departure a couple of times, now she is talking to the opposition and running down the clock some more. I have no doubt there will be a twist when it comes to the EU elections but they don’t really matter one way or the other.

    One of the things that might happen in the future might be another referendum, the so called ‘losers referendum’. That could easily eat up another half a year. She’s unit going for that at the moment because one, she has time on her side and two, she hasn’t got the numbers. It doesn’t matter if she loses, it does matter from the point of view of generating hard work for her team to get to the signing of the Treaty in 2022. A big loss just won’t do but a 52/48 loss will be fine just as it is now.

    So she has everything to play for. She has her people in position, she has the support she needs, she has the population distracted and divided. Assuming nobody breaks the law then she will win. It’s that simple. Once the UK no longer exists it will be impossible, or certainly extremely difficult and time consuming to put right.

    And that’s the crux of it. If somebody were to break the law, say a military uprising, she would attempt to use our laws firstly to to delay proceedings and secondly to totally thwart the attempt. However this is increasingly looking like it might be the only hope for the UK and anybody who is patriotic to the UK. We believe in the rule of law, unfortunately so does the EU but not as a protection of the citizen but of their empire building.

    Take a look around, think about it and tell me I’m wrong. I’m not. The dice are loaded against us. It’s up to us as to whether we play fair and lose or we think outside the box, it’s still not a fair fight but we might, just, pull it off. I’m game…

    • This assumes the EU will still exist in 2022, given what is happening around the world I don’t think there will be any function government in most of Europe.

      Look at France, look at Israel and Gaza (and her other neighbors), look at Iran threatening US forces, look at Venezuela, look at India/Pakistan, look at North Korea and China. Now tell me that we will still have peace in 2022.

      • You can’t wait passively. (Rather, they can’t. They’re the only ones who can organize their own resistence. It’s their future, no matter how much we feel for them.)

        It’s like relaxing about China, assuming its economy will collapse before it can do us real harm. That wouldn’t be prudent (to coin a phrase).

        • You are right on both cases, the Europeans have to organize a resistance to the Islamic Invaders and to the leftist traitors who are running their governments. While we are doing this we have to work to ensure that China doesn’t do any more damage to the US. Trump with his tariffs is doing a lot towards achieving the latter, although we do have to worry about the next President.

    • Very sharp observations.
      They should be broadcast far and wide. Open the window before the populace suffocates.

    • The Lisbon treaty,this is why we have been herded into eussr elections,so we will be in place when it becomes effective and thus bound by it.Apart from destroying the last vestiges of any freedom we may have had,it also has no article 50,the right to leave,much like the confederacy in the 1850/60s,the only way out is armed resistance and overthrow of a treasonous administration.

  15. the times – Saatchi Gallery covers up SKU artworks after complaints by Muslims

    A top art gallery was forced to cover two paintings last week after complaints from Muslims that they were “blasphemous”. One expert described them as “The Satanic Verses all over again”.

    Exhibited at the Saatchi Gallery by an artist known as SKU, the works overlaid Arabic script on nude images, and were meant to represent the conflict between America and Islamic extremists.

    However, the inclusion of the Islamic declaration of faith, known as the shahada, in the painting prompted complaints from Muslim visitors, who asked for them to be removed from the west London gallery’s exhibition, Rainbow Scenes, which finished on Friday.

    Usama Hasan, head of Islamic studies at the think tank Quilliam, said the paintings were not only offensive but blasphemous and sacrilegious. “They… ( behind paywall )

  16. Norway to Revoke Residency Permits of Those Affiliated with Islamic State (breitbart, May 6, 2019)
    https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2019/05/06/norway-revoke-residency-permits-those-affiliated-islamic-state/

    “Norwegian Minister of Justice Jøran Kallmyr has announced that the country will be revoking all residency permits granted to individuals who left Norway to go and fight or join the Islamic State in the Middle East.

    The minister gave the order to the Directorate of Immigration (UDI) to withdraw the permits saying that only those with Norwegian citizenship would be allowed to step foot in the country, Norwegian tabloid Verdens Gang reports.

    Kallmyr added that although Norwegian citizens would be allowed to return, it did not mean they would be exempt from the consequences of having joined the terror group.

    “Norwegian citizens who have joined the Islamic State, either as warriors or with other affiliations, will be prosecuted if they return. If they have children. they will be handled by the child welfare service. This applies to those who return to Norway on their own,” Kallmyr said.

    When asked about the exact number of Islamic State members who would be affected by the new policy, Kallmyr said that several would be, but the exact numbers were uncertain. “There are many that we assume are dead, but we do not know for sure. There is a lack of information,” he said.

    Children of Islamic State members will be allowed to return if they qualify for Norwegian citizenship with the government looking to bring back those who have been orphaned in the conflict as well as other children if their mothers are willing to give them up.

    The policy is in high contrast to neighbouring Sweden where politicians have advocated bringing back Islamic State fighters and attempting to reintegrate them into society.

    Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Löfven ruled out in March the notion of stripping the citizenship of dual nationals who had joined the terror group, saying some could face potential prosecution if they returned.

    Forty-one Swedish municipalities are expected to be forced to take back returning fighters with the Centre for Violent Extremism (CVE) holding an educational event for municipal leaders last month to help them deal with the return of the extremists and their families.

    Denmark, meanwhile, passed a law in March that would not allow the children of Islamic State fighters born overseas to claim citizenship at all.”

  17. Erdogan: Turkey not seeking alternatives to ties with West (abcnews, May 6, 2019)
    https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/erdogan-turkey-seeking-alternatives-ties-west-62851866

    “Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says Turkey’s decision to purchase Russian-made S-400 missile defense systems doesn’t mean that it is seeking “alternatives” in its relations with the West.

    Erdogan spoke Monday during a NATO meeting in Ankara attended by alliance Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg.

    The comments came amid a deepening rift with the United States, which says the Russian missiles pose a threat to the U.S. F-35 fighter jet program of which Turkey is also a partner.

    Erdogan said Turkey developing ties with “various countries and regions are not an alternative to each other,” adding his objection to “such controversies being fired up over the S-400s.”

    Stoltenberg told state-run Anadolu Agency before his arrival that it was important that NATO allies purchase equipment that is compatible with each other.”

    “The Taliban stormed an army checkpoint in Afghanistan’s western Farah province, killing 20 soldiers and abducting two, the latest in relentless attacks that the insurgents carry out even as they negotiate with the U.S. about ending the war, Afghan officials said Monday.

    The attack also dashed hopes of some sort of truce during the holy month of Ramadan, which started Monday and when observant Muslims fast from dawn to dusk.

    The overnight attack on the checkpoint in the Farah province’s Gulistan district triggered an hour-long gunbattle as Afghan troops tried to repel the attackers. The fate of the abducted soldiers was not immediately known, said provincial councilman Dadullah Qaneh…”

    The service reported on Monday that it pulled 416 people from 10 different boats its rescue craft had intercepted starting on Saturday.

    Spain became the leading entry point to Europe last year, with 60,000 migrants arriving irregularly. The number arriving by sea peaked in October at 11,000 and fell to under 600 in March, according to Spain’s Interior Ministry.

    The U.N. refugee agency says more than 800 people are either missing or known to have perished in 2018 while making the dangerous sea journey to Spain.”

  22. U. S Democratic representative Rashida Tlaib slammed the New York Times for ‘dehumanizing’ people of Palestine. The congresswoman called out a news item published by the newspaper recently on the renewed fighting between Israel and the people in the occupied Palestinian territories.

    Tlaib, who represents Michigan’s 13th district in the House of Representatives, tweeted that the news report feeds into what she called the lack of responsibility of Israel, who she said unjustly oppresses and targets Palestinian children and families.

    “When will the world stop dehumanizing our Palestinian people who just want to be free? Headlines like this & framing it in this way just feeds into the continued lack of responsibility on Israel who unjustly oppress & target Palestinian children and families,” Tlaib tweeted, adding “#FreePalestine.” She included a screenshot of the headline that was published in the New York Times – “Gaza militants fire 250 rockets, and Israel responds with airstrikes.”

  23. The Fright of James Comey
    By Victor Davis Hanson

    In a recent op-ed, fired FBI Director James Comey was back again preaching to the nation about the dangers of Donald Trump and his capacity to corrupt any top-ranking federal official of lower character than Comey’s own.

    Comey seems to have become utterly unhinged by Donald Trump, especially when the president, in his thick Queens accent, scoffs in the vernacular—quite accurately, given the transgressions of the FBI hierarchy—about “crooked cops.” What an affront to Comey’s complexity, his subtlety, his sophistication, his feigned Hamlet-like self-doubt—at least as now expressed in his latest incarnation as Twitter’s Kahlil Gibran.

    One can say a number of things about the timing of Comey’s latest sermon and his characteristic projection of his own sins on to others.

    First, Comey’s unprofessionalism was home-grown and certainly did not need any help from President Trump. His schizophrenic behavior both as a prosecutor and investigator in the Hillary Clinton email matter was marked by exempting Clinton aides Cheryl Mills and Huma Abedin from indictment, despite their lying to his own federal officials about their knowledge of a private Clinton email server. Comey wrote his summation of the Clinton email investigation before he had even interviewed the former secretary of state. He was hardly independent from a recused Attorney General Loretta Lynch in the Clinton email investigation. As her rubbery courier he bent to her directives on all key decisions that led to de facto exoneration of likely next president Hillary Clinton.

  24. Multi-State Child Exploitation Operation Busted; 82 Arrested, 17 Children Rescued
    BY BOWEN XIAO
    May 5, 2019 Updated: May 5, 2019 Share

    An investigation into the possession and distribution of child pornography covering eight southeastern U.S. states culminated in the arrest of 82 people and the rescue of 17 child victims, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI).

    The four-month-long investigation, dubbed “Operation Southern Impact III,” resulted in three days of investigative actions including “search warrant executions, undercover operations, arrests, and sex offender compliance verification visits.” In total, 171 law enforcement and prosecutorial agencies were involved.

    The ages of those arrested range from 20 to 70, the GBI said May 3. Occupations of arrestees included a “non-profit employee, small business owner, store clerk, mechanic, daycare administrator, youth group leader, former high school band director, freelance photographer, construction worker, and painter.”

  25. Danish far-right party calling for Muslim deportation to stand in election
    Stram Kurs to be on ballot paper for first time after getting required 20,000 signatures

    A far-right political party demanding the deportation of all Muslims and the preservation of the country for its “ethnic community” will be on the ballot paper in Denmark for the first time, in a general election due to be called within days.

    The Stram Kurs, or Hard Line party, led by Rasmus Paludan – a lawyer who is currently appealing against a conviction for racism – is feared to be on track to gain MPs after recently passing a threshold of voter support needed to stand in the election.

    A national election has to take place before 17 June under Danish law. Denmark’s prime minister, Lars Løkke Rasmussen, is expected to launch the campaign early this week.

    Paludan, whose videos on YouTube, eccentric fashion sense and penchant for stunts have long earned him a following among teenagers, has emerged in recent weeks from relative obscurity to become headline news in Denmark.

  26. A suspected arson attack at a derelict Victorian fertiliser factory was likened to “a disaster film” scene.

    Fire crews were called to the Grade II-listed former Fisons warehouse on Paper Mill Lane, in Bramford, near Ipswich, at about 05:00 BST.

    No one is thought to have been hurt, but the building, dating back to 1858, was destroyed by the blaze.

    Ian Bowell, from Suffolk Fire and Rescue, said there was “no obvious natural cause” for the fire.

    “I have to say quite confidently that we are treating this as arson,” he said.

    About 60 firefighters from both Suffolk and Essex fire services were called to the blaze, which is thought to have started in a smaller building before spreading to the wooden main factory building.

    Efforts to fully extinguish the fire are expected to go on for most of Monday and people living nearby have been told to close their windows and doors.

    The Pentagon’s latest report on the Chinese military fails to mention a laser attack that damaged the eyes of American military aircrews near a Chinese military base in Africa last year in an apparent bid to preserve the controversial military exchange program with Beijing.

    The annual report to Congress on military and security developments regarding China mentions a few provocative Chinese military actions, such as a Chinese warship’s near-collision with the guided-missile destroyer USS Decatur in the South China Sea last year that defense officials said appeared designed as a PLA navy ramming operation.

    The report also notes the decision by the Pentagon to disinvite the PLA from sending naval forces to the Rim of the Pacific international naval exercises in response to China’s continued militarization of disputed islands in the South China Sea.

    However, there was no mention of the more serious incident involving injury to U.S. military personnel.

    The laser attacks took place in late April 2018 and caused eye damage to air crews flying in military aircraft near the PLA’s first overseas military base located in Djibouti on the Horn of Africa.

  28. BILOXI, MS (WLOX) – Officer Robert McKeithen, a 24-year veteran of Biloxi Police Department, has been identified as the officer who was killed Sunday night outside the city’s public safety building.

    Authorities held a news conference at 9 a.m. Monday to update the public on the shooting.

    “It’s a very sad day for the City of Biloxi. A 24-year veteran for our department Robert McKeithen – and there’s no easy way to say this – was murdered last night right here in our parking lot,” said Biloxi Police Chief John Miller. “Robert was an unbelievably fine policeman. He did a great job; took care of the citizens of Biloxi for almost 24 years.”

    McKeithen died just after 10 p.m. after being shot multiple times outside the police headquarters, according to the chief.

    “Robert was planning on retiring at the end of the year,” said Chief Miller. “He leaves behind a wife, two stepsons, and a stepdaughter. He was a wonderful family man. That’s where he spent all of his time, with his family.”

  29. Hamas launched a cyberattack during rocket barrage, so Israel blew up their cyber command center
    Comments Permalink Posted by William A. Jacobson Monday, May 6, 2019 at 11:00am
    “Hamas no longer has cyber capabilities after our strike”

    There appears to be a ceasefire, or at least pause in fighting, in the current Gaza conflict.

    Hamas and Iranian-controlled Islamic Jihad launched over 600 rockets killing several Israeli civilians. The rockets were launched mostly from civilian locations in Gaza towards civilian locations in Israel.

    Israel retaliated with attacks on terror installations, mostly empty buildings, with the exception of a targeted hit on the Hamas commander who coordinated Iranian funding. Anti-Israel congresswomen Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib both blamed Israel for the conflict.

    There are many recriminations in Israel that Israel did not take more forceful action to topple Hamas and other terror groups. This does appear to fit a pattern whereby Hamas uses rocket fire and other attacks (such as the violent border riots controlled by Hamas) to extract concessions from Israel.

    Why would Israel seemingly capitulate to this extortion-by-rocket? I have a strong feeling that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is keeping his eye on the larger ball, which is Iran and Hezbollah in the north, and didn’t want to get bogged down with Hamas and Islamic Jihad in the south.

    This view is supported by the announcement that the U.S. is increasing both land- and sea-based military assets in the Persian Gulf region anticipating an Iranian or Iranian-proxy attack on U.S. and allied forces as oil sanctions cripple the Iranian economy. The Gaza conflict, in which the Iranian-controlled Islamic Jihad played a key role, likely was an Iranian diversion to keep Israeli military assets tied down during the bigger conflict to come.

  30. Former FBI Linguist Arrested on False Statement and Obstruction Charges
    A Virginia man who previously served as a linguist for the FBI was arrested Saturday night on charges of making multiple false statements to FBI officials and obstructing a federal investigation. Assistant Attorney General for National Security John C. Demers, U.S. Attorney G. Zachary Terwilliger for the Eastern District of Virginia and Assistant Director in Charge Nancy McNamara of the FBI’s Washington Field Office made the announcement.

    According to court documents, Abdirizak Jaji Raghe Wehelie, aka Haji Raghe, 66, of St. Burk, was a federal contractor for the FBI and worked as a linguist translating communications captured by court-authorized surveillance of a suspect (Person A) in a terrorism investigation. Wehelie allegedly intentionally misidentified his own voice that was captured when Person A left a voicemail message on Wehelie’s mobile telephone. When questioned by FBI investigators about this particular incident, Wehelie made several misleading and/or false statements.

    Wehelie is scheduled to make his initial appearance in federal court in Alexandria today at 2:00 p.m.

    A Guatemalan man allegedly paid a family the equivalent of $130 to “rent” their eight-year-old son so that he could go to the U.S. as a “family,” federal prosecutors told a Tucson grand jury in March. He also allegedly paid another $130 (about 1,000 quetzales) to another person who created a false birth certificate for the child.

    ‘Secret Empires’ by Peter Schweizer
    “My frustration,” writes Peter Schweizer in his new book, “Secret Empires: How the American Political Class Hides Corruption and Enriches Family and Friends,” “is not that the solid reporting on Trump has been too tough, but that the reporting on the Obama administration has been way too soft or in some cases nonexistent.” The author of the 2016 sensation “Clinton Cash” says Trump and his children didn’t invent the blurring of government and business, and details a number of ethical violations on both sides of the political aisle. One example: the little-noticed private equity firm run by the sons of Democrats Joe Biden and John Kerry, as detailed in this exclusive first excerpt.

    Joe Biden and John Kerry have been pillars of the Washington establishment for more than 30 years. Biden is one of the most popular politicians in our nation’s capital.

    His demeanor, sense of humor, and even his friendly gaffes have allowed him to form close relationships with both Democrats and Republicans. His public image is built around his “Lunch Bucket Joe” persona. As he reminds the American people on regular occasions, he has little wealth to show for his career, despite having reached the vice presidency.

    One of his closest political allies in Washington is former senator and former Secretary of State John Kerry. “Lunch Bucket Joe” he ain’t; Kerry is more patrician than earthy. But the two men became close while serving for several decades together in the US Senate. The two “often talked on matters of foreign policy,” says Jules Witcover in his Biden biography.

    So their sons going into business together in June 2009 was not exactly a bolt out of the blue.

    But with whom their sons cut lucrative deals while the elder two were steering the ship of state is more of a surprise.

    The Muslim American Society Islamic Center in Philadelphia (MAS Philly) uploaded a video to its Facebook page on May 28, 2017, in which three girls performed a song in what appears to have been a song contest or a graduation ceremony.

    The first girl sang: “I am daughter of the revolution… With my blood, I crossed the border to Palestine of the free… The shield of the revolution shines from my chest.”

    The second girl sang: “I raise the banner of your rebels on every battlefield… Your perseverance, defiance, and determination will turn us into fedayeen. We will be martyred on your soil and you will cover us with a laurel crown.”

    The third girl sang: “I am a stone in a rebel’s sling – I am a revolution that shakes the occupier… I will not be humiliated.”

    2 MIN READ

    LAHORE, Pakistan (Reuters) – Pakistani authorities have arrested 12 suspected members of prostitution ring taking young Pakistani women to China, part of a growing human trafficking problem often based on fake marriages, officials said on Monday.

    Those arrested included eight Chinese nationals and four Pakistanis, said Jameel Ahmad, a top official at Pakistan’s Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), which deals with human trafficking.

    “We busted the gang after the FIA received information about increasing smuggling of Pakistani woman to China where they are thrown into prostitution,” Ahmad told Reuters.

    He said several gangs were believed to be operating, mainly targeting members of Pakistan’s Christian minority.

  37. A report published Friday by The Intercept brought a surprising new angle to last week’s revelations about the extent of China’s electronic spying on the Muslims of Xinjiang province. The private equity firm of Hunter Biden, the son of former vice president and 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, invested in one of the Chinese companies that created the Xinjiang surveillance state nightmare.
    The Intercept reported that Hunter Biden’s Chinese investment company Bohai Harvest RST, which obtains its financing from a subsidiary of the Communist government-owned Bank of China, is part of an investment pool that has made several rounds of large investments in a range of Chinese companies.

    The group’s 2017 purchases included an interest in Face++, which provided the facial-recognition software integrated into the smartphone app used by Chinese security forces to monitor the Uighur Muslims of Xinjiang province. The app plugs into a massive central database that collects an incredible amount of information about Xinjiang citizens, ranging from how much electricity they use to their DNA.

    The Intercept found it curious that this week’s media coverage of the Chinese surveillance state and its condemnation by human-rights groups did not mention Hunter Biden’s firm’s investments, especially since questions are already swirling around the Biden family’s business ties to China, and eyebrows were raised by Joe Biden’s remarkable refusal to admit China poses a strategic threat to the United States.

  38. Peter Strzok suspected CIA employees were behind inaccurate leaks to the press regarding possible Trump campaign contacts with Russia, according to an email the former FBI counterintelligence official sent to colleagues in April 2017.

    “I’m beginning to think the agency got info a lot earlier than we thought and hasn’t shared it completely with us. Might explain all these weird/seemingly incorrect leads all these media folks have. Would also highlight agency as source of some of the leaks,” Strzok wrote in an email to FBI colleagues on April 13, 2017.

    The email is highlighted in a letter that two Republican senators sent Monday to Michael K. Atkinson, the inspector general of the intelligence community.

    In the letter, Sens. Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin asked Atkinson if he has investigated whether the CIA or other intelligence community agencies leaked information to the press.

    They pointed to a Dec. 15, 2016 text message that Strzok, the lead investigator on the Trump-Russia probe, sent to then-FBI attorney Lisa Page.

    “Think our sisters have begun leaking like mad. Scorned and worried and political, they’re kicking in to overdrive,” Strzok wrote Page.

    Strzok did not identify a specific leak, but a day earlier, NBC News broke a bombshell story that Russian President Vladimir Putin was personally involved in the U.S. election hacks. The story was sourced to “senior U.S. intelligence officials.” (RELATED: Strzok Sought To Capitalize On Dossier Release To Conduct Witness Interviews)

  39. Transcript of Trump interview with Catherine Herridge
    HERRIDGE: After everything that’s happened today, under what circumstances would you allow the White House Counsel Don McGahn to testify to Congress about the Special Counsel investigation?

    TRUMP: Well, he’s been testifying for so many hours, 30 hours. I allowed him to testify. Nobody else would do that. I did that because it wouldn’t matter to me. He can say whatever he wants to say. I did nothing wrong. I knew that.

    And if I thought I did something wrong, I don’t know what I’d do. I wouldn’t have probably let anybody testify. But I let everybody. Again, almost 500 people they interviewed and there’s never been anything like this.

    Now, they’ve already testified. I don’t want to go through this — and what’s going to happen when we’re finished with the House? Then we’re going to do another one with the Senate, then we’re going to do another one with somebody else?

    Look, I think what they should be focusing on is how did this mess start? How did this whole investigation start, because I think it’s corrupt as hell, and I think what’s happened between Comey and McCabe and Brennan and all of these people — and Strzok and his lover, Lisa Page; there’s tremendous things that people want to find out, and they really want to find it out and I hope they’re going to.

    HERRIDGE: Is there a timeline on when the public will see these Russia records declassified?

    TRUMP: Yes, I’m going to be allowing declassification pretty soon. I didn’t want to do it originally because I wanted to wait, because I know what they — you know I’ve seen the way they play. They play very dirty. So I decided to do it, and I’m going to be doing if very soon, far more than you would have even thought?

    HERRIDGE: May, June, July?

    TRUMP: No, soon. I mean whenever they need it. Whenever they need it I’ll be doing it but I will declassifying it. Everything.

  41. Debate on U.K.-Based Muslim Brotherhood TV: Sri Lanka Bombers Avenged Injustice

    Egyptian TV host Fayrouz Halim said in an April 26 show on Hiwar TV (U.K.) that terrorists such as those who carried out the church bombings in Sri Lanka might not be victims of injustice themselves, but that they sometimes carry out attacks in order to avenge others who were.

    She said that she does not justify the attacks in Sri Lanka, but that it is a good exercise to put oneself in the bombers’ shoes, and she criticized media silence regarding families killed by coalition forces in Syria.

    Algerian TV host Sara Boukabouya then said that some Muslims no longer feel sympathy towards the victims of terror attacks because they have been subjected to injustice, and she said that this was one of the goals of the Western intelligence agencies that she claimed created ISIS.

    She said that the West created ISIS so that innocent people would fight each other and so that the West can continue to rule the world.

    Hiwar TV is a U.K.-Based Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated TV channel.

  42. After the arrest of four radical Islamic terrorists last week, French security forces have now prevented five radical Islamic terror attacks in just the first four months of 2019.

    According to a report by the news outlet France Soir, the four Islamists who were arrested remain in police custody and are alleged to have been planning to murder French police officers. One member of the cell – who isn’t even 18 years-old – was previously arrested by French authorities for attempting to join the Islamic State in Syria.

    Those investigating the case assert that the four men had already produced plans for a number of attacks that were supposed to take place sometime during next month’s holy month of Ramadan.

    This latest plot accompanies four others which have all been stopped thanks to French police work in the first four months of the year. In March, authorities arrested two 20-year-old men thought to be planning to massacre and take hostage kindergartners and school staff, and then attack police officers arriving at the scene.

    In the month of April, authorities arrested a 16-year-old on suspicion after investigators found ‘tutorials detailing methods of terrorist action’ inside of his home along with pro-jihadist propaganda videos and internet searches for specific officials in France’s domestic intelligence service.
