At Least 7 Dead, 25 Wounded in Major Explosion in Sudan’s Capital – Reports (sputniknews, Jan 21, 2020)
https://sputniknews.com/africa/202001211078089083-at-least-7-dead-25-wounded-in-major-explosion-in-sudans-capital-reports/
“At least seven people have died and 25 others were injured in an explosion in Sudan’s capital, where security service protests took place earlier this month, the Saudi Al Arabiya TV channel reports.
The blast, which occurred in the al-Shegla area of Khartoum, could have been generated by an improvised explosive device, Al Arabiya said in the early hours of Tuesday, citing police sources.
Police have begun to inspect the site of the incident, it also said that investigations into the cause and source of the explosion are pending, Al Arabiya reported, citing a police statement.
Last week, security servicemen protested in Khartoum against planned department restructuring.
At least one Sudanese officer was reportedly killed and seven others were injured as a result of clashes between the security services and military forces. Khartoum International Airport was also temporarily shut down for security reasons.”
Florida cop suspended for wife’s Facebook posts against Rashida Tlaib
Lima-Taub explained that her primary issue with Tlaib is the congresswoman’s support of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel

A police officer from southern Florida was suspended from his job for supporting his wife after she posted on social media statements accusing Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib of being a “Hamas-loving antisemite,” the Miami Herald reported.
Cpl. Pablo Lima, who serves the police department of Bay Harbor Islands in Miami-Dade County and is a former vice president of the police union, was put on administrative leave and is the subject of an internal affairs investigation, according to town manager J.C. Jimenez.
“The content of the social media posts that were brought to our attention are not consistent with our Town’s values and policies,” Jimenez said in a statement, according to the Herald.
Lima’s wife, the Haifa-born Anabelle Lima-Taub, serves as the city commissioner for Hallandale Beach, Florida, and is considered a controversial figure in her city.
In January 2019, a vote was held in Hallandale Beach City Hall to condemn Lima-Taub for her Facebook posts targeting Tlaib, including calling her a “Hamas-loving antisemite,” and said that she might be a “martyr and blow up Capitol Hill.”
Though Lima-Taub was convicted 3-2, a group of dozens of people came to the city hall waving Israeli flags and holding signs in support of her statements.
In addition, she was unapologetic about her posts, and doubled down on them in further posts.
“I am offended by anyone who is NOT OFFENDED by Rashida Tlaib’s hateful rhetoric and pro BDS and other radical dangerous views calling for the obliteration of Israel, literally off the face of the map,” she said in one of her posts.
“I remain unapologetic for my views that she is a danger to the peace process and demand an apology of her for relabeling Israel as Palestine on a map hanging on her wall in her congressional office.”
Speaking to the Herald, Lima-Taub explained that her primary issue with Tlaib is the congresswoman’s support of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel, which she considered equal to supporting Hamas and Hezbollah.
A week after the vote, Cpl. Lima shared a news story on Facebook about the incident and liked five comments expressing support for his wife. However, these posts also contained provocative statements regarding Tlaib, including suggestions that she “took her [congressional] oath on the Koran,” “openly hates Jews” and that she “supports the people who flew planes into our [New York] twin towers and killed over 5,000 people.”
However, Lima didn’t post any comments himself.
Nonetheless, according to the Herald, the Bay Harbor Islands police department prohibits any speech that “ridicules, maligns, disparages, or otherwise expresses bias against any gender, race, religion, or any protected class of individuals,” even over social media.
In addition, this may have ruined Lima’s further career.
Lima, who has served in law enforcement for nearly four decades, was a candidate to take over as the next police chief of Bay Harbor Islands.
“Throughout my 38 years of law enforcement experience my reputation has been impeccable!” Lima wrote, according to the Herald. “I took the role (and still do!) of conducting myself ethically very seriously.”
Taking to Facebook, Lima-Taub wrote a long post supporting her husband in the face of “corruption” in southern Florida, as well as the work of an unnamed lobbyist.

“Bay Harbor Islands police department prohibits any speech that “ridicules, maligns, disparages, or otherwise expresses bias against any gender, race, religion, or any protected class of individuals,””
This cornerstone of free speech – for the individual against the Collective – destroyed by Marxist Police.
Because, inherent in all Religious, Political and Racial Identities are their promised lies of Equal Outcome: Heaven, Earth and Nature. And never will.
Jordan Peterson, makes the same projection of vanity, in proposing the Bible promotes Outcome Christianity; to avoid a cursing and receive a blessing. That if you are the best you can be, everything will come to you afterwards.
‘Seek first the kingdom of god, and his righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.’
https://youtu.be/Z5DrJ7bWk2I
Repent, for the kingdom of god is near.
Remove pride, seek the source of attachment to fear, pride and submission, and with truth and regret, be set free.
This start to life. (Not living as just another End of Life champion to be ruled by the Church Of The Day).
Oh, they are all protected by fortresses.
The “adding unto you” does not mean external blessing, but internal insight.
To be righteous before god, means to forgive so god forgives you.
There is no other way but this narrow path. The rest are broad and demand your Faith or else be excommunicated.
Ditto. Obviously either didn’t consult competent attorney or decided they had resources to fight in court. Governmental entities can’t stay within the law and regulate speech in this way. Further the disapproval makes clear a lack of recognition that Hamas opresses and terrorizes Gazans. Nevertheless, an Israeli should know that invective provokes a reaction, legal or not. In Israel, lacks free speech protection, and otherwise honorable persons have been imprisoned for less (cartoons, Yasser Arafat fake money).
“the Bay Harbor Islands police department prohibits any speech that ‘ridicules, maligns, disparages, or otherwise expresses bias against any gender, race, religion, or any protected class of individuals,’ even over social media.” PS: the protected class “national origin” is mistakenly missing from the policy–and Gaza is not yet a nation etc. Next time, Star Wars fans will be censured for liking anti-Vulcan postings.

Le manifestant frappé au sol par un policier samedi lors de la manifestation parisienne des Gilets jaunes sera jugé en février pour violences sur des policiers, un incident objet de versions contradictoires de la part des forces de l’ordre et des défenseurs de Clément, son seul élément d’identité connu.
Trois policiers ont d’ailleurs déposé plainte à son encontre ce lundi. L’homme a été déféré à l’issue de sa garde à vue. Il sera présenté dans l’après-midi à un magistrat du parquet qui va lui notifier une convocation devant le tribunal correctionnel du chef de violences sur personnes dépositaires de l’autorité publique, rébellion et participation à un groupement formé en vue de commettre des violences et des dégradations selon le parquet de Paris contacté par Le Parisien.
Dans l’attente de son procès, qui se tiendra « dans le courant du mois de février », il a été remis en liberté sous contrôle judiciaire, avec interdiction de se rendre à Paris et interdiction de détenir une arme, a précisé la source judiciaire.

Maajid Nawaz is calling for a national inquiry, similar to the one into Stephen Lawrence’s murder, into grooming gangs in the United Kingdom.
Maajid Nawaz recalled Stephen Lawrence’s murder and the Macpherson Inquiry that followed.
He noted that the Macpherson report “coined the phrase ‘institutional racism’, and shifted the debate in this country around race permanently and forever.”
Speaking of the grooming gangs scandals 27 cities, he said: “This grooming gang scandal must be investigated on a national level in the same way because this is institutional mysogyny.”
He continued: “The fear … of anti-Muslim bigotry must never be an excuse to allow underage girls to be raped and abused in this way. But it was.
“Think of that. Imagine that 27 cities and counting… because I can guarantee you we haven’t heard the end of this yet. Imagine the thousands of victims. Imagine the impunity with which these men must have been acting.”

The Debate We Truly Need
by WILLIAM MURCHISON
Fact checking is a tricky business. Some things are black and white and can be labeled as such. But that isn’t always the case. Let’s say that I write a story saying, “Ralph wore a black shirt to the meeting.” A picture is produced of Ralph at that meeting, wearing a white shirt. If the fact checker is reading my story in advance, for the publication we both work for, she should insist on changing it. Or if she works for one of these watchdog fact checking websites, she can write a piece headlined, “Reporter calls white shirt black.”
But what if the shirt is half black and half white? In that case, I’m not fully wrong to call it a black shirt, but I left out an important detail. What would a good headline be for that one? And should my article be pulled down from social media sites because I only got it half right, or will a correction do?
This is not an academic question. It’s quite literally a burning issue of the day. Australia is experiencing a huge number of wildfires at the moment. These are so severe that the American press has taken notice. What is causing them? “Global warming,” is one answer that you have probably heard. It’s been repeated quite a lot. But how about “arson” or “ridiculously poor land management”? Have you heard those explanations?
If you haven’t heard the arson one, and you get much of your news from social media, there is a reason it hasn’t crowded your feed. It has been intentionally suppressed. A writer for PolitiFact, one of the fact checking organizations responsible for putting the kibosh to it, explained, “The post was flagged as part of Facebook’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed.”
The suppressed headline was by conservative commentator Todd Starnes, from his own website. It read, “In My Humble Opinion, the Australia Bushfires Have Nothing to Do With Climate Change; It Was Arson.” In reporting this, PolitiFact cut out the “In My Humble Opinion” part, which is a curious omission.
Starnes argued that “many of the fires were set by arsonists” and cited a news story from the Australian “that more than 180 people have been arrested since the start of the bushfire season and that Swinburne University professor James Ogloff said that about 50% of bushfires were ‘lit by firebugs.’ ”

‘Great Havoc’ as Twin Blast Hits Stockholm – Photo (sputniknews, Jan 21, 2020)
https://sputniknews.com/europe/202001211078094215-great-havoc-as-twin-blast-hits-stockholm/
“Around 50 people were evacuated when two major blasts hit the Kista and Husby districts of Stockholm. Given the extent of the damage, it is surprising that only one person was taken to hospital with injuries.
Two powerful explosions have rocked Stockholm just a few hundred meters and some 14 minutes apart, causing extensive damage to the properties, Swedish police have said.
According to the police, the explosions took place in apartment buildings at night, tearing down balconies and breaking windows. The blast was so powerful that it was heard in other parts of the Swedish capital and its suburbs.
“The door flew seven meters into the apartment”, a blast survivor from Kista told the newspaper Expressen. In addition, the blast made a huge hole in the staircase, causing “great havoc”, Expressen wrote.
About ten people were tended to on the spot by the arriving ambulances, but only one person was admitted to hospital, which is surprising, given the extent of the damage. In total, about 50 people were evacuated.
A local resident, who works late shifts, was awake at the time of the blast and saw a person run down the parking lot and leave in a car, the newspaper Aftonbladet reported.
According to Aftonbladet, there are links between last night’s bombing and the powerful blast that shook Östermalm, yet another district of Stockholm, last week. The police confirmed that a preliminary investigation in underway, but could not corroborate any link between the two blasts.
This night’s explosions were the latest in a long series of blasts targeting residential buildings. In 2019 alone, a total of 121 blasts occurred across Sweden.
Following the explosions, opposition Moderate party leader Ulf Kristersson demanded that the government present an action plan.
“All of Sweden now expects a credible plan of action and the mobilisation of all available resources to break this devastating development”, Kristersson wrote on Facebook, accusing the government of doing far too little to remedy the problem.
Interior Minister Mikael Damberg responded by vowing to introduce further penalties for explosives and smuggling later in 2020 as part of the 34-point program against gang violence that the government presented last fall.
“Society cannot accept that individuals expose others to such a danger”, Damberg wrote on Facebook.
?“These bomb attacks start to completely overpower. Sweden is reminiscent of Beirut in the 1980s. After all, the police must increase the priorities to the maximum in order to get the assailants. Get help from the military, [Security Service] Säpo, FBI, Interpol – whatever it takes,” blogger Projekt Morpheus tweeted.”
I suggest George Soros, because he is the real leader of Dystopia:

Austria: Burkini wearing woman spots naked woman in the changing room of a public swimming pool and is outraged
Great indignation in Austria: In the capital Vienna a woman in a burkini is said to have complained about a naked person in the changing room of a swimming pool. The media are already talking about the “swimming pool affair” – there are also initial reactions from politicians, reports the Zurich press.The alleged “victim” entered the ladies’ changing room of the swimming pool in the Vienna district of Simmering accompanied by her son – dressed in a Muslim swimsuit, a burkini. There she met a 57-year-old woman who was about to change.She felt offended by the nakedness of the woman while changing her clothes and is said to have confronted the naked woman as well. However, the bathing rules clearly state the following: bathers are allowed to be naked in the changing rooms.Even wearing a burkini is allowed in Viennese swimming pools. According to the chairman of the Freedom Party, this, like the whole incident, is a manifestation of “failed migration policy”.

BEIJING (Reuters) – The death toll from a mysterious flu-like virus in China climbed to six on Tuesday as new cases surged beyond 300 and authorities fretted about the added risk from millions of Chinese traveling for the Lunar New Year holiday.
Round the world, airports tightened screening of travelers from China as officials confirmed the coronavirus strain is contagious between humans.
I bet more dead. Why trust commies?
I’m with you, if the Chicoms think the problem is bad enough to report it to the world there are a lot more dead. What is bothering me is the statements that it is related to SARS, a lot of people think SARS as a bio weapon that go loose by accident. Is this the same thing?
Killer Chinese coronavirus ‘may be passed through SALIVA’ as outbreak reaches Taiwan, death toll rises to six and 300 patients are struck down – and experts predict mystery disease will continue to spread
The deadly Chinese coronavirus that has sickened more than 300 people could be passed through saliva, officials today suggested.
China’s National Health Commission yesterday confirmed that the never-before-seen SARS-like coronavirus had spread between humans.
And now the body has revealed the unnamed infection is spread from the lungs and may travel in saliva – such as through coughs.
Taiwan today confirmed its first case of the lethal bug, which has killed six people in the Chinese city of Wuhan, home to 11million people.

Short whack and sides: Knife-wielding thugs attack barber’s shop staff – who fight them off with a MOP and chair (dailymail, Jan 21, 2020)
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7911549/Knife-wielding-thugs-attack-barbers-shop-staff-fight-MOP-chair.html
“Shocking video shows shows knife-wielding thugs attack staff in a barber shop who fight them off using a mop and a chair.
The dramatic incident took place at around midday on Thursday last week in north Sheffield and was caught on the shop’s CCTV cameras.
Footage shows two attackers enter the shop and linger for a short while as staff go about their daily business – including one who is mid-way through drilling.
But suddenly and without warning the thugs pounce on three men, dragging them to the floor and unleashing kicks and punches.
At least one of the attackers then pulls out a knife as the barber shop staff fight back with chairs, brooms and mops.
One staff member hurls a chair at the attackers, before it is thrown back at him and they wrestle with the chair.
After more than a minute of fighting the attackers gang up on one worker by the shop entrance.
He seems to be struggling before his colleague comes to his aid with a mop and starts smashing it over the heads and bodies of the thugs.
Footage of the dramatic incident was posted to Facebook by Sheffield resident Joshua Rees…”
Sweden Summons Chinese Ambassador Over ‘Unacceptable’ Threats, Intimidation of Media Outlets (breitbart, Jan 21, 2020)
https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2020/01/21/sweden-summons-chinese-ambassador-over-unacceptable-threats-intimidation-of-media-outlets/
“Sweden’s foreign ministry has summoned the Chinese ambassador for talks on Tuesday over his repeated criticism of the Scandinavian nation and alleged intimidation of the Swedish media.
Relations between Sweden and China have been strained for several years over Beijing’s detention of Chinese-born Swedish citizen Gui Minhai, who published gossipy titles about Chinese political leaders out of a Hong Kong book shop.
Sweden has repeatedly called for his release.
A foreign ministry spokeswoman on Tuesday refused to disclose the specific issues that would be raised.
Chinese ambassador Gui Congyou in November threatened “counter-measures” after the culture minister awarded a Swedish rights prize to Gui Minhai.
Two business delegations to Stockholm were subsequently cancelled.
In an interview at the weekend on Swedish television SVT, he said of Sweden’s critical media coverage of China: “It’s like a 48-kilo lightweight boxer picking a fight with an 86-kilo heavyweight boxer, and the 86-kilo boxer out of courtesy and goodwill tells the 48-kilo boxer to mind his own business.”
“But the lightweight boxer doesn’t listen, he continues to provoke and forces himself into the heavyweight boxer’s home. What choice does then this 86-kilo boxer have?”
Swedish Foreign Minister Ann Linde told SVT the ambassador’s remarks were “an unacceptable threat”.
SVT also reported that Chinese embassy officials have repeatedly contacted Sweden’s main media outlets to criticise their coverage of China and to try to influence their reporting.
“What China’s ambassador is now doing is very serious. We have repeatedly, from the foreign ministry and myself too, explained to the ambassador that freedom of speech is protected by the constitution and that journalists have the right to perform their work completely freely,” Linde told SVT.
China’s embassy published a statement denying SVT’s report, saying: “We express discontent over the distortion of facts.”
– Several spats –
Stockholm and Beijing have also been at odds over other issues in recent years.
In July, Sweden’s top court rejected a Beijing extradition request for a Chinese man accused of economic crimes because of risks of persecution and the death penalty in China.
A Chinese foreign ministry spokesman said Beijing hoped Sweden would “not become a safe haven for criminals”.
In 2018, a video showing Swedish police removing three Chinese tourists from a hotel in Stockholm was published online, which the Chinese embassy characterised as “brutal abuse”.
The row escalated when Swedish comedian Jesper Ronndahl produced a satirical information video for Chinese tourists and published it on Chinese social media site Youku.
Outrage, rather than laughter, ensued and the Chinese foreign ministry called the video a “gross insult to and vicious attack on China and the Chinese people”.”
Anti-Macron Protesters Cut Power Lines, Cause Massive Outages to Distribution, Trains, Suburbs (breitbart, Jan 21, 2020)
https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2020/01/21/anti-macron-protesters-cut-power-lines-cause-massive-outages-to-distribution-trains-suburbs/
“In an escalation of protests against reforms being pushed by President Emanuel Macron, French union workers cut the power line to the world’s largest wholesale market in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
A local energy branch of the far-left General Confederation of Labour Union (CGT), citing the pension reforms of President Macron, claimed responsibility for cutting a powerline that supplied energy to the Rungis International Market, a 234-hectare wholesale facility outside of Paris that does 9 billion euros in trade per year. The outage lasted 90 minutes at the market before generators kicked in.
“We cut the power at the Rungis source substation this morning,” said union representative Franck Jouano, per Le Parisien.
“Our goal is to mark the occasion symbolically because there is little talk of electricians and gas, who are affected by the reform. We also want to mobilize against this reform because the government does not react to the demonstrations”, he added.
The power cut also shut down the rail shuttle service to Orly Airport, Paris’ second-largest airport, as well as affecting 11 different suburbs of Paris. Hotels in the areas impacted claim that customers were trapped inside elevators as a result of the power outage.
Julien Denormandie, the City and Housing Minister, denounced the action as “scandalous” and “irresponsible”, saying that the unions “must stop these actions that degrade the climate of social dialogue”.
The powerline sabotage is a clear escalation from France’s left-wing unions in the fight over pension reform, following a month of transit strikes and street protests against President Emanuel Macron’s proposed reforms.
On Friday dozens of protestors shut down the Louvre, forcing the museum to close after several far-left unions called for public actions in response to Macron’s plan which they claim will “lower everyone’s pensions.”
Later that evening President Macron was escorted out of a theatre in Paris after a group of protestors attempted to confront the French leader. The protestors stormed through a police line into the building chanting “Macron, resign!” and “We are here, even if Macron does not want us we are here”.
Despite the protests, President Macron has held firm on his proposals, in which he would centralise the pension system that is currently spread out in dozens of different programs and provides special provisions for transit workers to retire in their 50s. Macron has also proposed to raise the age of pension eligibility from 62 to 64, in an attempt to keep more labourers in the workforce…”
This is looking like domestic terrorism.
Terrorism or the civil war going kinetic.
Pope Francis Condemns ‘Isolationism, Individualism’ in Davos Message (breitbart, Jan 21, 2020)
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/01/21/pope-francis-condemns-isolationism-individualism-in-davos-message/
“Pope Francis has sent a message to the World Economic Forum at Davos Tuesday, condemning the isolationism and individualism that “characterizes too much contemporary debate.”
“All too often materialistic or utilitarian visions, sometimes hidden, sometimes celebrated, lead to practices and structures motivated largely, or even solely, by self-interest,” the pope said, in reiterating his firm belief in multilateralism.
The pontiff praised the World Economic Forum, saying it has “provided an arena where political will and mutual cooperation can be guided and strengthened in overcoming the isolationism, individualism and ideological colonization that sadly characterizes too much contemporary debate.”
“This typically views others as a means to an end and entails a lack of solidarity and charity, which in turn gives rise to real injustice, whereas a truly integral human development can only flourish when all members of the human family are included in, and contribute to, pursuing the common good,” he said. “In seeking genuine progress, let us not forget that to trample upon the dignity of another person is in fact to weaken one’s own worth.”
Francis also said that the overriding consideration behind good decision-making is “that we are all members of the one human family.”
“The moral obligation to care for one another flows from this fact, as does the correlative principle of placing the human person, rather than the mere pursuit of power or profit, at the very centre of public policy,” he said.
Last month the pope stated that a multilateral and globalist approach to geopolitics is the key to world peace.
“Trust in dialogue between people and between nations, in multilateralism, in the role of international organizations, in diplomacy as an instrument for comprehension and understanding, is indispensable for building a peaceful world,” Francis said in a video-message recorded in the company of António Guterres, Secretary General of the United Nations.
“It is necessary to recognize ourselves as members of a single humanity and take care of our earth that, generation after generation, has been entrusted to us by God in custody so that we cultivate it and leave it in inheritance to our children,” Francis said.
“The commitment to reduce contaminating emissions and for an integral ecology is urgent and necessary: ??let us do something before it is too late,” he added.”
Iran acknowledges Russian-made missiles targeted Ukraine jet (abcnews, Jan 21, 2020)
https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/iran-acknowledges-russian-made-missiles-targeted-ukraine-jet-68419573
“Iran acknowledged on Tuesday that its armed forces fired two Russian anti-aircraft missiles at a Ukrainian jetliner that crashed after taking off from Tehran’s main airport earlier this month, killing all 176 people on board.
The new preliminary report by Iran’s Civil Aviation Organization however stopped short of blaming the TOR-M1 for the crash of the Boeing 737-800, flown by Ukraine International Airways.
For days after the Jan. 8 shootdown, Iran denied that it fired missiles at the plane, initially blaming a technical malfunction and engine fire for the crash.
However, after the U.S. and Canada blamed missile fire for the crash, Iran’s armed forces said anti-aircraft fire from the country’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard had downed the flight.
The new report identified the missiles fired at the aircraft as coming from the TOR-M1. In 2017, Iran received the delivery of 29 TOR-M1 units from Russia under a contract worth an estimated $700 million.
However, the report said “the impact of these missiles on the accident and the analysis of this action is under investigation.”
Surveillance footage earlier obtained by The Associated Press showed two missiles were fired at the plane. The two minutes of black-and-white footage purportedly shows one missile streaking across the sky and exploding near the plane. Ten seconds later, another missile is fired. Some 20 seconds after the first explosion, another strikes near the plane. A ball of flames then falls from the sky out of frame.
The footage corresponded with AP reporting, appeared genuine and matched geographic features of the area. It also explained how so many people filmed the shoot down: the first explosion drew their attention so they turned their mobile phone cameras to the predawn sky.
The fire from the explosion, however, appears not to have reached inside the cabin, the report said, citing the condition of debris later recovered from the crash.
The Tor short-range air defense system, code-named the SA-15 by NATO, was designed during Soviet times to shoot down aircraft and precision guided weapons.
It is mounted on a tracked vehicle and carries a radar and a pack of eight missiles. Each vehicle can operate independently. Tor has a range of up to 12 kilometers (7.5 miles) and can hit aerial targets at altitudes of up to 6 kilometers (about 19,700 feet).
Tor missiles explode near their target, taking it down with shrapnel that devastates engines, fuel tanks and other vital components.
Iranian officials have offered contradictory remarks on whether they’ll send the plane’s flight data and cockpit voice recorders abroad to be analyzed. The preliminary report by the Civil Aviation Organization said Iranian officials had asked French and American authorities to send them “up-to-date equipment” to pull the data in Iran…”
Massive gun rights rally goes off without incident; Gov. Northam takes credit for ‘de-escalating’ it
By J.E. Dyer January 21, 2020
If you’ve seen the video clips and photos of Monday’s gun rights rally in Richmond on social media, you already know that it was entirely peaceful from start to finish
Attendees remained respectfully behind the relatively flimsy barriers set up for the event. Indeed, they respectfully toed white lines, as requested by the police, where there were no barriers.
Many observers suggested that Antifa demonstrators (who had announced they were going to rally “alongside” the gun rights supporters) made none of their typical moves to disrupt the proceedings because they were surrounded by armed rallygoers. (Richard: This is my opinion)
Interestingly, the police deployed for the 20 January rally didn’t look as if they were prepared to intervene effectively if Antifa started something. There didn’t appear to be enough of them, and they were comparatively lightly equipped.
In spite of Northam’s earlier agitation, the signal sent by the police posture appeared to be that the authorities didn’t truly expect things to get out of hand. Two reasons for that can be logically deduced: the main crowd was law-abiding and self-disciplined, and the main crowd was armed, and itself functioned as a walking deterrent.
https://libertyunyielding.com/2020/01/21/massive-gun-rights-rally-goes-off-without-incident-gov-northam-takes-credit-for-de-escalating-it/
Richard: We dodged a bullet on this one, probably because the people who intended to stay off Capital Grounds were heavily armed. Antifa and the other Democrat Militias aren’t trained to go up against armed opponents who aren’t constrained by orders to keep from hurting the rioters.
The next move is up to the Virginia Legislature and we will have to wait and see what they are going to do about the Unconstitutional laws being placed before them. They may back off or they may decide to push ahead with the Bloomberg/Soros agenda and continue their efforts to disarm the law abicing citizens.
We won a skirmish in the war to remain free, this war will continue as long as there are people who want to become Dictators. And the more the left looses the more they will turn to violence. This war is going to be long and will turn kinetic and become very violent. I don’t know where the violence and I don’t know the excuse the left will have for their violent actions but history says they will not go peacefully into the night.
Orban Hails Austria as a Partner For Tackling Mass Migration With Visegrad Group (breitbart , Jan 21, 2020)
https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2020/01/21/orban-hails-austria-as-a-partner-for-tackling-mass-migration-with-visegrad-group/
“Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has praised Austria as being a “natural partner” for tackling mass illegal migration alongside the Visegrad Group (V4) countries.
Prime Minister Orbán made his comments in Prague during a summit of the V4 countries, whose members are Hungary, Poland, Czechia and Slovakia, with Austria also attending, whose Chancellor Sebastian Kurz present at the event, Hungary Today reports.
The Hungarian leader noted that the possibility of a rush of migrants from the Balkans entering Hungary would also be a concern for Austria, as many migrants would not stay in Hungary but travel onward to Germany or even stay in Austria itself.
The border fence, built on the border of Hungary and Serbia in 2015, has served to greatly reduce the number of migrants illegally entering the country but several reports have shown a recent surge across the Balkans in the migrant numbers.
Greece, which is largely seen as the entry point for migrants attempting to reach Europe through the Balkan route, is preparing for as many as 100,000 new asylum seekers in 2020 with Manos Logothetis, the government commissioner for the initial reception of refugees, stating, “he crisis is current and it is serious.”
Mr Orbán also took time to congratulate Chancellor Kurz on forming a new government which consists of a coalition between Kurz’s Austrian People’s Party and the Austrian Green Party.
While the Austrian Greens have been more open to mass migration in the past, Kurz has claimed that the coalition will not affect the stricter migrant policy enacted in his past coalition with the populist Freedom Party. Kurz said that the new government would also push to ban Islamic headscarves for students under the age of 14.
Along with praising Kurz, Orbán also called for the V4 to invite Balkan countries looking to join the European Union to a future summit to discuss the future of Europe.”
Too bad Greece doesn’t ask the Visegrad for help.

MEMRI – Commander in Turkish-Backed Free Syrian Army: We Will Go to Libya, China, Wherever There Is Jihad
Ahmad Shihabi, a commander in the Turkey-backed Free Syrian Army (FSA) was interviewed on the Turkish Akit TV.
In the interview, he was asked whether the FSA would send men to Libya, and answered that they would go “wherever there is Jihad” as soon as the FSA is “finished with the injustice” of Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad.
He added that they would go to help their brothers in Turkestan (China). Shihabi said that the FSA is grateful to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an for “what he has done for the Syrian people, on the humanitarian, military, and political levels”.
Shihabi concluded that the FSA fighters are willing to sacrifice their lives, their children, and their elderly for the sake of their country and for the sake of the Ottoman caliphate.
The interview was aired on January 17, 2020.
MEMRI – Al-Aqsa Mosque Address: We Will Soon Establish the Caliphate, Liberate Jerusalem and Conquer Rome
On January 17, 2020, a video was uploaded to the Internet of an event at the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem on the anniversary of the 1453 AD capture of Constantinople by the Ottoman Empire.
The event was held by Hizb ut-Tahrir.
Palestinian preacher Nidhal “Abu Ibrahim” Siam spoke before the crowd and said that the anniversary of the fall of Constantinople brings tidings that Rome will be conquered in the near future.
He said that three prophecies will soon be fulfilled, and he expressed hope that his audience will be the ones to fulfil them.
Siam elaborated that these prophecies are the prophecy that a rightly-guided Caliphate will be established, the prophecy that Jerusalem will be liberated and established as the capital of the Caliphate, and the prophecy that Islam “will throw its neighbors to the ground” and that its reach will span across the world.
He told the crowd that their real task is to wage Jihad for the sake of Allah and to make the word of the infidels inferior to the word of Allah.
In addition, he called on them to seek martyrdom for Allah.
He added: “Do not obey the followers of Satan [and] those who collaborate with America, Russia, and the West.”
The crowd chanted: “This Al-Aqsa [Mosque] will be liberated… The Caliphate was promised by Allah… By means of Caliphate and the consolidation of power, your conquest, oh Rome, is a matter of certainty… Allah Akbar!”
MEMRI – New Qods Force Cmdr.: We’ll avenge Soleimani’s Blood with Efforts of All Free Men Around the World
General Esmail Ghaani spoke at a ceremony for his inauguration as the new IRGC Qods Force commander, replacing General Qasem Soleimani who was killed by the U.S.
The ceremony was attended by Soleimani’s family and the officials of Iran’s armed forces.
Excerpts from the speech were aired on Channel 1, Iranian TV on January 20, 2020.
In his speech, General Esmail Ghaani said that “the enemy” turned Qasem Soleimani into a martyr “in the most despicable way” instead of facing him on the battlefield.
General Ghaani said that with the efforts of “all free men around the world who wish to avenge his blood” the Qods Force will strike Soleimani’s enemy in a “heroic way.”
Migrant boat sinks trying to reach UK from Belgium (BBC, Jan 21, 2020)
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-kent-51192559
“Migrants trying to reach the UK in boats have set off from Belgium for the first time, a local mayor believes.
A group of 14 swam back to shore when their small vessel sank off the coast of the town of De Panne.
Mayor Bram Degrieck said eight of the group – which may include two children – are unaccounted for, but are believed to have made it back to land.
“It’s the first time to my knowledge this happens on a beach in Belgium,” he said.
Prosecutor Frank Demeester said British authorities would be consulted as part of the investigation as it was “rare” for smugglers to try to reach the UK from the Belgian coast.
Meanwhile, 11 migrants were detained by Border Force at the Port of Dover, with 10 others intercepted in a dinghy in the Channel.
Last year, nearly 1,900 people reached the UK after setting off from the French coast in small boats.
Patrols of French beaches have doubled in an attempt to curtail crossings, the Home Office has said.
“The stress is getting higher. Perhaps smugglers are trying to find different routes, other ways of getting into the UK,” Mr Degrieck said.
“It is obviously not the appropriate route to take. It is about 70km (43 miles) to the UK.
“It is obviously very distressing that smugglers are trying to use Belgian beaches,” he said…”

Trump White House Planning to Add Seven More Countries to Travel Ban List – Report (sputniknews, Jan 21, 2020)
https://sputniknews.com/us/202001211078097483-trump-white-house-planning-to-add-seven-more-countries-to-travel-ban—report/
“The Trump administration plans to add seven more countries to its travel ban list, namely Belarus, Eritrea, Kyrgyzstan, Myanmar, Nigeria, Sudan and Tanzania, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal, which cited two administration officials who have seen the list.
According to the report, not all of the countries would face blanket bans on US travel. Some of the countries could have restrictions placed on certain visa types, including business or visitor vias. The unidentified administration officials have also stated that the list isn’t final.
US President Donald Trump on Tuesday confirmed to the Wall Street Journal that he is trying to add more nations to the travel ban but declined to name the countries.
“The travel ban has been profoundly successful in protecting our country and raising the security baseline around the world. While there are no new announcements at this time, common sense and national security both dictate that if a country wants to fully participate in U.S. immigration programs, they should also comply with all security and counter-terrorism measures — because we do not want to import terrorism or any other national security threat into the United States,” White House spokesperson Hogan Gidley is quoted as saying Tuesday.
In a Friday statement during a Homeland Security Experts Group event, Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf also noted: “For a small number of countries that lack either the will or the capability to adhere to these criteria, travel restrictions may become necessary to mitigate threats,” Politico reported.
On January 27, 2017, one week after taking office, Trump first introduced a ban prohibiting entry of foreign nationals from seven Muslim majority countries although court challenges forced the administration to modify the ban multiple times. The current version of the executive order, also referred to as travel ban 3.0, bars travelers from seven countries including five Muslim majority nations — Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria, and Yemen — in addition to North Korea and Venezuela, Sputnik reported.”
Belarus!?
Just because it’s majority white and non-tard.
A bell is faintly ringing but not strong enough for me to start speculating.
Gun-rights advocates pick-up trash after protesting peacefully in Richmond
RICHMOND
by: Nick Conigliaro
Posted: Jan 20, 2020 / 11:18 PM EST / Updated: Jan 21, 2020 / 03:12 PM EST
RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — Thousands flooded the surrounding streets of the Capitol Monday for a gun-rights rally, however, some locals in the area say the roads are the cleanest they’ve seen in quite some time.
There’s a reason for that, says Matthew Keisling, a protester who made sure that once he shared his message, he went above and beyond to protect it.
“I’ve been in the area when there have been other protests and demonstrations and people leave a lot of trash behind and it waters down the message,” Keisling said.

Advocates told 8News they made sure to clean up after the rally because they felt leaving trash behind “represents the group and the movement very poorly.”
Locals in the city appreciated the gesture, even if it was unexpected.
“They picked everything up and made it look nice,” said Richmond resident Jack Hamilton. “It was really good for them to do that and it looks a lot better and good job.”

Ex-CIA contractor defends brutal post-9/11 interrogations

FORT MEADE, Md. (AP) — An architect of the brutal CIA interrogation and detention program developed after the Sept. 11 attacks defended the agency and its practices on Tuesday as those techniques become the focus of an effort to dismiss key evidence against five men charged in the terrorist plot.
James Mitchell spent the first day of what is expected to be at least a week of questioning by defense teams at the U.S. base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, providing details about the CIA’s interrogation program as well as what he said was the “context” necessary to understand it.
The CIA was the “tip of the spear” in the months after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and was urgently trying to gather vital intelligence using techniques that had been authorized by the U.S. government, the retired Air Force psychologist told the court.
“We were trying to save American lives,” Mitchell said.
Mitchell is facing questions now because lawyers for the five men accused of planning and providing logistical support for the Sept. 11 attacks are seeking to prevent the government from using statements the defendants gave to the FBI as evidence against them in a war crimes trial scheduled to start next January at the U.S. base in Cuba.
The five defendants, who include the self-proclaimed mastermind of the Sept. 11 hijacking plot, were subjected to waterboarding and other methods now widely regarded as torture. But Mitchell, who helped develop the program with another private contractor and others, insisted the CIA feared “another catastrophic attack,” possibly involving nuclear weapons, and was trying to stop it.
“My sole focus was stopping the next attack,” he said.

“The Saudi-led military coalition fighting in Yemen stepped up its bombing campaign Tuesday, launching airstrikes near the rebel-held capital in clashes that killed at least 35 people, Yemeni security officials said.
It was the first time in months that coalition airstrikes hit Houthi targets in the district of Nehm, some 60 kilometers (37 miles) northeast of the capital Sanaa, said Houthi officials.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity in line with regulations..
Throughout the day, both sides fired rockets and pounded the area with artillery. The heavy fighting killed and wounded dozens, and forced scores of families to flee. The number of civilian casualties was not immediately known. Video provided by Yemen’s defense ministry showed large plumes of smoke rising over the mountains after the airstrikes…”

International Law and the Downing of Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Iran’s prevarications about its responsibility for the shooting down of Ukrainian International Airlines Flight 752 during the recent escalation of tensions with the US magnify its culpability and could lay it open to reparations claims by Canada, Ukraine, Sweden, and the UK, all of which lost citizens in the disaster.
The pro-regime protests that took place inside Iran following the killing of Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani changed their tenor when the regime finally admitted, after lying to the public and the world for three days, that it had shot down Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752, a disastrous error that killed all 176 people on board. Canadian PM Justin Trudeau has said repeatedly that Canada will demand justice for the 74 Canadian victims on board (who were, for the most part, either ethnic Iranians or of Iranian origin). Also killed on the flight were Ukrainian, Swedish, and British citizens.
It is not yet clear whether these countries will seek a judicial remedy under international law for Iran’s shooting down of a civilian aircraft carrying their citizens.
This situation echoes 1988, when an Iranian flight was shot down by the USS Vincennes, a missile cruiser of the US Navy in the Persian Gulf. At that time, Iran filed a case against the US at the International Court of Justice. The US, which claimed that the Court lacked jurisdiction, nevertheless reached an agreement with Iran and settled the case.

Deports a Possible Iranian Regime Enforcer Despite a Federal Judge’s Order

Customs and Border Protection Deports a Possible Iranian Regime Enforcer Despite a Federal Judge’s Order
Image by WikimediaImages from Pixabay
On Sunday, an Iranian holding a student visa to study at Northeastern University, 24-year-old Mohammad Shahab Dehghani Hossein Abadi, was detained by Customs and Border Protection (CPB) as he tried to pass through passport control at Boston’s Logan International Airport. The bad news part of the story is that we’re still allowing a state sponsor of terrorism to send children of its ruling class to American universities. Kind of hard to believe that we still allow this to go on given the Iran’s attacks on US citizens and interests. The first part of the good news is that CPB had received orders to prevent his entrance and put him on the first thing smoking that was heading out of the country. Somehow the ACLU and, it seems, the pro-terror non-declared-agent-of-a-foreign-government organization beloved of Ben Rhodes and the Obama White House, the National Iranian American Council, got involved.
The case was pushed in front of a federal district judge who, at 9:22 p.m. Monday, imposed a 48-hour stay on the deportation and scheduled a hearing at 10 a.m. today. This is the bad news, part deux.

Now the final good news. At around 10 p.m. last night, Mohammad Shahab Dehghani Hossein Abadi, was strapped in seat on an Air France airliner heading for Paris. The good news sequel is that the courtroom was filled with his supporters this morning, who were unaware that he was suffering from jet lag in France at the time, and the communists who run Massachusetts were incensed:

Ocasio-Cortez: Lack of ‘police in riot gear’ at gun rally ‘racist’; Democrat Party ‘center or center-conservative’
There were no arrests or confrontations with heavily armed police at Monday’s gun-rights rally in Richmond.
This caused Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to wonder aloud why that was … and blame racism.
The New York Democrat and avowed socialist said in an interview for the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday that was posted on social media that the United States was founded on, among other things, “racism and the protection of capital over human beings.”

He Can’t Stop Lying: Schiff Tells Senate he Gave Republicans Equal Time During Slap-Dash Schiff Sham — When He Blocked their Witnesses and Questions (VIDEO)
We know Adam Schiff has repeatedly lied on the House floor.
That has been well established.
But will Adam Schiff be able to lie at will on the Senate floor too?
On Tuesday during the first day of the impeachment proceedings, Rep. Adam Schiff told the senators that he gave Republicans equal time during the House slap-dash impeachment proceedings.
Of course, this is another whopper.
** The Trump administration was not allowed to participate for the first 71 of 78 days
** Republicans were blocked from asking difficult questions
** ‘Witnesses’ were blocked from answering questions
** Republicans were blocked from holding their witness day
** Schiff has refused to release all testimony including ICIG Atkisson’s testimony that shows that the alleged ‘whistleblower’ lied

Democratic Governors Association Creative Director Shares Tweet Calling Peaceful Gun-Right Protesters ‘Terrorists’
The Democratic Governors Association’s (DGA) creative director shared a tweet on Monday which referred to attendees of the peaceful pro-Second Amendment rally in Richmond as terrorists.
An estimated 25,000 people of all political persuasions attended the rally to support their right to be armed.
Though the rally remained entirely peaceful, with no major incidents, the DGA’s Zainab Javed helped to slander those who attended anyways.
“To be clear, this is Terrorism. This isn’t a peaceful protest; they’re amassing this heavily armed for the specific implication that if the Virginia Government doesn’t meet their demands, they will incite violence,” Twitter user @PanasonicDX4500 wrote, and was retweeted by Javed.

White House Blasts Democrats Who Demand Trump’s Attorney Turn Over Privileged Documents
The White House on Tuesday ripped as a “political stunt” a demand by House Democrat impeachment managers that President Trump’s top lawyer Pat Cipollone turn over “protected documents.”
“The Democrats are an utter joke – they have no case, and this latest political stunt proves it,” White House spokesman Hogan Gidley said. “The idea that the Counsel to the President has to turn over protected documents and confidential information is ludicrous, and to imply he can’t represent the President of the United States in an impeachment proceeding is completely absurd.
“Further, the man Democrats appointed to lead these proceedings is Adam Schiff — who has been caught lying multiple times about Russia collusion evidence that didn’t exist, made up a totally phony phone conversation about Ukraine that never happened, and lied that his staff didn’t have contact with the whistleblower. If there’s anyone who should be disqualified from leading this proceeding it’s Mr. Schiff,” Gidley said.

What Is She Hiding? Soros-Funded St. Louis Circuit Attorney Sued for Communications with Felon-Journalist, Her Chief Investigator on Greitens’ Case Indicted on 6 Counts of Perjury
As reported earlier investigative journalist and Fox News Contributor John Solomon sued controversial St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner last week.
What was not reported was the extent of the lawsuit or the extent of this Missouri scandal.
John Solomon sued Gardner for violating Sunshine Laws. Gardner, a Soros-funded circuit attorney, refused to turn over documents related to the case against Eric Greitens, a Navy SEAL and former Governor.
In 2018 the Soros-backed St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner led a campaign to attack, smear and oust popular Missouri Republican Governor Eric Greitens.
When Kim Gardner was elected in 2016, over 70% of Kim Gardner’s campaign funds came from George Soros, over $190,000.
Gardner and her associate and former FBI agent, William Tisaby, were successful in forcing Governor Eric Greitens to resign from office.
