Ten drones launched by Iran-backed militants sparked a huge fire at the world’s largest oil processing facility and a major oilfield in Saudi Arabia in the early hours of this morning.
The fires at Abqaiq in Buqayq, which contains the world’s largest oil processing plant, and Khurais, which contains the country’s second largest oilfield, have now been brought under control since the drone attacks at 4.00am local time.
Tensions are running high in the region after attacks in June and July on oil tankers in Gulf waters that Riyadh and Washington blamed on Iran.
A military spokesman for Yemen’s Houthi rebels, considered an Iranian proxy force in the region, has claimed responsibility for today’s attacks on Abqaiq and Khurais, two major facilities in eastern Saudi Arabia run by state-owned oil giant Aramco.
Houthi fighters in Yemen have previously launched attacks over the border, hitting Shaybah oilfield with drones last month and two oil pumping stations in May. Both attacks caused fires but did not disrupt production.
(This may be a good time to mention that a solid and scholarly understanding of these actions can be had from the well sourced book, The Myth of the Andalusian Paradise, where the author uses Islamic, Jewish and Christian sources from the period to show how muslims behaved and why, during the conquest of Spain, and also how modern scholarship has been polluted by leftism and corruption due to Saudi and other wealthy oil nations who paid off historians and scholars to ‘Winston Smith’ the history of Islam in Europe)
A teenager has been warned by a judge that he is at risk of going to custody after he admitted his part in “mindless vandalism” that desecrated a church.
Muhammed Mughal, 18, appeared at Bradford Crown Court yesterday charged with entering All Saints Church, Highfield Lane, Keighley, as a trespasser on December 3 last year with intent to do unlawful damage.
Mughal, of Cliffe Street, Keighley, pleaded guilty to the alternative offence of causing criminal damage to the church and that was accepted by the prosecution….
Mr Byrne conceded that Mughal and the others in the group, who got into the building through an insecure fire door, had committed “mindless vandalism.”
The damage included daubing graffiti on the walls, damaging doors, breaking windows and letting off fire extinguishers. A machete the intruders found in the church kitchen was used in course of the offence….
Judge Jonathan Rose adjourned sentence until October 15.
He said that Mughal and his associates had done “inexplicable and appalling damage.”…

3. MEMRI had its Youtube channel deleted and appeals was rejected.
Youtube used a fairly postmodern trick to do this. MEMRI titled a video of a muslim cleric criticizing homosexuality and Youtube used this as a face value opinion from MEMRI and deleted the channel, ignoring the obvious truth of the matter that MEMRI was demonstrating how Islam thinks of gay people.
YouTube also posted on the page a notification explaining that the video had been “flagged for review” – that is, by YouTube users – and that YouTube had subsequently “determined that it violates our guidelines.” It added, “We’ve removed it from YouTube and assigned a Community Guidelines strike, or temporary penalty, to your account” and warned: “If you receive three or more of one of the types of strikes listed above, we may have to disable your account.”
MEMRI Appeals YouTube Decision To Remove Clip; YouTube Rejects Appeal
MEMRI appealed YouTube’s decision to remove the clip, explaining that it is part of the research of the MEMRI Reform Project, which exposes hate speech including anti-LGBTQ sentiment and supports reformists who speak out against such hate speech.
This appeal was rejected by YouTube, which stated: “After further review of the content, we’ve determined that your video does violate our Community Guidelines and have upheld our original decision.”
It should be noted that at the end of every MEMRI TV clip it is stated: “MEMRI is a non-partisan, independent research institute providing research, analysis, and translation of primary materials covering a wide range of issues, including terrorism and ideological trends in the Middle East. These video clips are provided as a public service to an international viewing audience to bridge the language gap and better educate and inform. Material about statements by terrorists and extremists is provide to alert the public to threats, and in no way constitutes an endorsement of such activities.”
YouTube Removed MEMRI’s Previous YouTube Channel – Which Had Over 60,000 Subscribers And Hundreds Of Millions Of Views
MEMRI’s current YouTube channel has almost 3,000 subscribers and 700,000 views. MEMRI’s previous YouTube channel, which had more than 60,000 subscribers and hundreds of millions of views, was terminated in July 2016; despite MEMRI’s numerous appeals for information to resolve the outstanding issues and to regain access to the account, we were never successful in doing so.
An article published March 2, 2017 by Tablet magazine, “Why Is YouTube Punishing People Who Translate and Expose Anti-Semitism on Its Platform?” highlighted the termination of our YouTube account. It stated: “For years, YouTube has been taking down videos that translate and expose anti-Semitism and punishing those who post them. Perhaps the most notable victim of this censorship is MEMRI, the Middle East Media Research Institute.”
The article went on to describe the importance of MEMRI’s work, saying: “MEMRI translates television and media from across the Middle East, highlighting both bigotry and those activists who seek to fight it.” It also explains YouTube’s flagging system and how an account can be terminated like MEMRI’s was: “YouTube’s system for identifying problematic content relies on users flagging and reporting allegedly objectionable videos. Site staff then sort through the reports and remove content at their discretion. Unfortunately, this process is easily gamed by those bigots and their sympathizers who don’t want MEMRI’s material out there.”

“U.S. President Donald Trump told Saudi Arabia’s crown prince that Washington was ready to cooperate with the kingdom to protect its security, following drone attacks on Saudi oil plants on Saturday, state news agency SPA reported.
Trump also told Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in a call that assaults on Saudi oil facilities had a negative impact on the U.S. and global economies, SPA said in an Arabic-language statement.”
3- This is very bad, although perhaps not too surprising. I’ve occasionally wondered how long YT was going to tolerate their content. I already hadthe impression that YT doesn’t like bigotry exposed when the bigots are muslims. It’s like Twitter, which has “protected classes”, a sickening concept.
Before I forget, they have their own website so the content is still accessible there. I find it hard to navigate though, and I haven’t found a way of downloading the videos from there.
If anybody knows another MEMRI channel please let me know, their work is important.
I haven’t watched the entire video but the man doing the talking about the China Iran deal is making several allegations that are mistaken at best. The most important is his statement that China did this because of the Trade War! BS they were doing things like this long before the Trade War.

In remembrance of Kevin Crehan, jailed for a year for placing some bacon of a mosque door. He died in prison; I’ve never seen any details that lead up to his death or the cause of his death; it is strongly suspected he was killed by muslims while in prison.
If so, the muslims did to him what, thank God, they failed to do to Tommy Robinson. Kevin Crehan paid with his life for objecting to having muslims invading our country.
