1. Islamic State militants ‘burn to death 45 in Iraq’

(While Obama is downplaying the fate of some random folks on a beach, the Islamic State is busy murdering people by the score)

Jihadist militants from Islamic State (IS) have burned to death 45 people in the western Iraqi town of al-Baghdadi, the local police chief says.

Exactly who these people were and why they were killed is not clear, but Col Qasim al-Obeidi said he believed some were members of the security forces.

IS fighters captured much of the town, near Ain al-Asad air base, last week.

Col Obeidi said a compound that houses the families of security personnel and local officials was now under attack.

3. Their only words were, ‘Jesus help me’: Pope condemns ISIS execution of 21 Christians for their faith and says ‘martyrs’ blood confesses Christ’

The Pope unexpectedly went off script following a meeting with a representative of the Church of Scotland in the Vatican, making a short speech in his native Spanish in which he claimed the murdered Egyptians’ last words were ‘Jesus help me’.

The religious leader’s unscheduled remarks followed reports by local media that another 35 Egyptians have been kidnapped in areas of Libya controlled by local Islamist militants and ISIS.

The abductions of the Egyptians came after Egypt exacted its revenge on Islamic State militants today with air strikes which a military chief claims killed at least 50 people.

(Nice to see the pope actually say something about the persecution of Christians. Its almost like he is one. But I do not believe he mentioned the actual motive for the slaughter in this article)

The council boss whose staff failed scores of girls abused by a sex grooming gang is in inks ine for a payoff worth nearly £600,000.

The bumper redundancy package for Joanna Simons has been drawn up on the eve of a scathing report into the paedophile scandal.

Officials insist the 55-year-old chief executive is leaving Oxfordshire County Council for cost-cutting reasons. But there is anger from victims that the deal will allow Miss Simons to dodge any blame.

Catastrophic failings by the police and social workers meant the abuse carried on for years. In a further development, the chief constable whose force will be lambasted in the same report has been promoted to a new £185,000 a year job.

2. Denmark terror suspect swore fidelity to ISIS leader on Facebook page

Copenhagen, Denmark (CNN)The man suspected of killing two people in Copenhagen swore fidelity to ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in a posting made on what’s apparently his Facebook page just before the weekend shooting spree.

The post pledges “allegiance to Abu Bakr in full obedience in the good and bad things. And I won’t dispute with him unless it is an outrageous disbelief.”

President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said that what was happening in Libya was a threat to world peace and security.

His remarks came as Egyptian jets bombed IS targets in response to a militant video of the apparent beheadings of 21 Egyptian Christians.

Libya has been in chaos since 2011, with militias battling for control of territory and two rival governments.

But the BBC’s Jim Muir says there is little international appetite for military involvement and the emphasis remains on trying to find a political and diplomatic solution to the country’s problems.

1. Man charged over ‘chemical weapon’

A man from Liverpool has been charged with attempting to obtain a chemical weapon, police have said.

Mohammed Ammer Ali, 31, is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court in central London on Tuesday.

He was arrested on Wednesday, when officers from North West Counter Terrorism Unit and Merseyside Police searched five Merseyside addresses.

Officers have uncovered no plan or threat of an imminent attack either at home or abroad, police said.

The suspect is accused of attempting to have a chemical weapon in his possession between January 10 and February 12, contrary to the Criminal Attempts Act 1981 and the Chemical Weapons Act 1996.

2. Al-Azhar prohibits watching IS execution videos

(The reason for this fatwa of course is 100% to do with the Islamic definition of slander. The beheadings etc. make Islam look bad to we, the unclean. So its critical that no TV station shows these Islamic State videos as it weakens the position of muslims poised to take over)

In a statement Al-Azhar also urged media not to publish the “crimes of the terrorists” in order not to fulfill the “sinister aim” of affecting the morale of the Muslims and giving a reason to spread Islamophobia and defame Islam worldwide

3. More Egyptians being kidnapped

Tripoli, 16 February 2015:

There are reports that at least 35 Egyptians have been kidnapped in what appears to be a round-up at various locations in areas controlled by Ansar Al-Sharia and IS.

The Libya Herald has been told that starting this morning, in the wake of the attack on Derna by warplanes from Egypt, Egyptian nationals, many of them it seems farm workers, have been picked up by gunmen. The first reports were that seven men had been seized, but by mid-afternoon, it was being said that at least 35 had been reported missing.

1. Egyptian airstrikes kill 64 IS militants in Libya: Libyan army spokesperson

Egyptian airstrikes killed 64 Islamic State (IS) militants, including three of their leaders, in Libya’s coastal cities of Derna and Sirte, Libyan army spokesperson Major Mohamed Hegazy told Ahram Arabic news website on Monday afternoon.

In the early hours of Monday, the Egyptian army, in coordination with the Libyan army, carried out air strikes against IS targets in Libya, he said.

Possible footage of this strike?

2. Copenhagen shooter was kind and ‘smart’, classmate says

“I am deeply moved and shocked,” the 20-year-old told AFP in a telephone interview from Copenhagen.

“I would never have believed the terrorist was a classmate, that it would be a boy who helped me when I was run over outside school,” she said.

“When I was run over, he ran to me and helped me get back to school.”

But three days later, in late 2013, the young man — who police said had a history of violence and weapons offences — stabbed a passenger on a Copenhagen commuter train and went to jail.

Several Danish media have identified 22-year-old El-Hussein as the gunman behind two fatal shootings in Copenhagen at the weekend who was later shot dead by police.

5. ‘I will not let people believe that Jews no longer have a place in Europe’: Hollande’s fury after Netanyahu makes plea for ‘mass emigration’ to Israel in wake of anti-Semitic terror attacks 

European leaders have reacted with anger at Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu extraordinary plea for Jews to leave Europe to escape the rising tide of antisemitic terror attacks.

Netanyahu said that Europe was no longer a safe haven for Jews following terror attacks in Paris and Copenhagen, adding that Israel is now the only country in the world where Jews can feel safe.

The remarkable comments were promptly savaged by the leaders of France, Germany and Denmark, and were met with fury from Jewish groups.

French President Francois Hollande said. ‘I will not just let what was said in Israel pass, leading people to believe that Jews no longer have a place in Europe and in France in particular,’ while German Chancellor Angela Merkel said her government is doing everything possible to protect Jewish sites.

(I think Bill Shakespeare said something that applies perfectly to contemporary European leaders who say exactly what Hollande and the PM of Denmark are saying about the statements by Israel: “…Full of sound and fury; signifying nothing”)

6. Free Speech group tackling ‘speech codes’ on US college campuses

(For anyone curious about the intellectual honesty of Noam Chomsky, one needs only read his book on free speech, Manufacturing Consent, and then realize that as a university prof. he has never once cited any leftwing restriction on political opinions anywhere and especially on campus in the guise of ‘speech codes’ where he has to be surrounded in it every day)

“Over 55 percent of colleges we surveyed have speech codes that wouldn’t stand court challenges,” says Lukianoff. “These colleges include Jacksonville University, which forbade students to offend anyone, or this other college that had a rule against ‘inappropriately directed laughter.”

Since the “soft method” — trying to win the public opinion, exposing the absurdities of speech codes — wasn’t working, FIRE decided to drop the gloves and go to court to affirm First Amendment rights. And even when colleges are cornered with their nonsensical codes, they still act like victims.

7. Now this is interesting. It seems that the White House refused to give telemetry to the Egyptian army to assist them in making strikes against Islamic State targets. Go figure! Now why would that be?

8. Denmark: Muslim youths screaming “Allahu akbar” say they’re “brothers” to jihad murderer

They removed flowers from the site where he was killed, saying that it was not Islamic tradition to lay flowers for the dead. But it is noteworthy that there were flowers at the site where Omar El-Hussein was killed at all. That shows support for his murders as much as does the removal of the flowers by these pious youth. Note also how they were claiming victim status, saying they were disenfranchised and discriminated against. The implied threat here is that the Danish will face more jihad murders unless they come across with more jizya.

7.

I cannot close this post without mentioning how repugnant it is that the US President, Barack Obama, referred to people who had been murdered by muslim terrorists in Paris for no reason other than that they were in a Jewish grocer, which meant there was a high likelihood that they were Jewish, as random victims of undefined shootings, while 72 hours later claiming that some people killed by a lone psycho in the US over long standing parking disputes to which everyone who knows the guy agrees, Obama claims had killed them because of their religion. 

So on the one hand he denies a motive when the proof is overwhelming and then invents a motive when there is not only no proof of it, but actual evidence that the motive was something else. All to favour islam and muslims as victims of the hostile other and to not allow people to see islam for what it is.

At this stage anyone still in denial of Obama’s thoughts and beliefs in this regard are too delusional to actually adjust their thinking with any future amount of proof that may pass their eyes.

(Entire legal document here)

BUENOS AIRES (AFP) – Argentine President Cristina Kirchner was formally accused on Friday of shielding Iranian officials from prosecution over a 1994 bombing at a Buenos Aires Jewish centre, prosecutors said.

The prosecution move advances the case against Kirchner that was being pursued by late prosecutor Alberto Nisman before he died mysteriously on the eve of congressional hearings on his accusations.

The accusation now goes to the judge in the case, Daniel Rafecas, to decide whether to call Kirchner to make a statement.

6. Islamic State: Smoking will kill you, one way or another

Beheadings have become commonplace in the territories held by the militant Islamic State, but the severed head reportedly found last month in the eastern Syrian city of Al-Mayadeen was nevertheless unusual.

It had a cigarette placed between its lips.

“This is not permissible, Sheikh,” someone had scrawled in Arabic on the decapitated corpse lying nearby, according to an account from the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a pro-opposition monitoring group. The body and head belonged to an Islamic State official, a deputy police chief.

(The LA Times must have done some contortions trying to find a way to make a policy they likely agree with, look bad)

Thank you Draculea, M., Richard and many more. Stay tuned. More to come shortly.

I am referring to the current set of conflicts as WW1 because I believe this is in fact the first conflict which is truly global in scale. No continent will be untouched and no populated center as I would be willing to bet before this is over, that the US government will fund a mosque at a US outpost in Antarctica. The first two large scale wars called ‘WW1′ and WW2’ seemed more about Western interests with some spillage to Africa etc. although granted, WW1 had the Caliphate to deal with which was massive and Japan did control over 50% of the world in WW2 at one point if you include the oceans it possessed.

But this one will not leave a single city or village untouched.

3. Norwegians take command in ISIS, pose threat to Norway – security official

Some Islamist fighters from Norway are believed to have taken leading positions within Islamic States, according to the Norwegian Intelligence Service chief. A hundred and fifty Norwegians are thought to be fighting along terrorists in Syria and Iraq.

“We believe that some of the Norwegians in Isil [Isis] have risen to middle-management functions,” Kjell Grandhagen, the head of the Norwegian Intelligence Service, told Dagbladet newspaper.

“There are still several Norwegians who hold leadership positions in Isil,” Grandhagen told the newspaper.

He gave the example of ISIS commander Bastian Vasquez, a Norwegian of Chilean extraction who was reportedly killed in the fall, and an unnamed Norwegian of Eritrean parentage also known as an ISIS commander. A hundred and fifty Norwegians have joined ISIS according to the police authorities, Dagbladet reports. […] Kjell Grandhagen claims Norwegians fighting for the ISIS were radicalized in the Profetens Ummah group which is active in eastern Norway close to the capital Oslo.

“While in Germany these aircraft will forward-deploy to inks anocations in eastern European Nato nations,” US Navy Captain Greg Hicks, US European Command spokesman, said in a statement on Tuesday.

The 12 A-10 “Warthog” ground-attack planes, along with 300 pilots and ground crew and their equipment, will be sent to Spangdahlem Air Base in Rhineland-Palatinate.

It is not yet known where they will be sent after Germany.

Designed to attack large formations of Soviet tanks during the Cold War, the heavily-armoured planes are armed with a 30mm rotary cannon and can carry a variety of bombs and missiles.
