One of ISIS' top leaders and most wanted war criminals was assassinated in Raqqa on Wednesday. Mullah Amineh Halabi was the Supreme religious leader of the terrorist gang, and de factor governor of Raqqa since ISIS head Abu Al-Baghdadi fled the city in late May. Al-Baghdadi's current whereabouts are unknown; but five masked men armed with silencers located and ambushed Halabi, sending the bloody Emir to Tartarus. The assassins escaped in a car; ISIS soldiers conducted a search which has so far proven fruitless.
Halabi was suspected by the United Nations as the instigator of ISIS' genocide against the Yehzidi population of Iraq and many other Crimes Against Humanity.
ISIS suffered another blow in Mosul as well. Yesterday, a warehouse containing the bulk of ISIS' rockets, IEDs, mines, and other WMDs mysteriously exploded, killing about 100 ISIS troops and setting the ISIS encampment on fire. The cause of the explosion is unknown; but the smoke was seen for miles and the terrorists were deprived of a major resource.
It should be noted that both incidents were reported by Fars News, which is heavily connected to the Iranian Security and Intelligence Services. Fars had no information on the assailants' identity nor the cause of the explosion, but they did seem to know quite a few other details about the incidents. Now we at this blog don't want to jump to conclusions---and certainly not give away any military secrets that might benefit the Jihadists. But we do offer here a tacit salute and a knowing wink to the Ayatollahs on two jobs well done.
In other war-related news, Syrian commandoes raided a major Al-Qaeda meth lab near Damascus, taking three local drug traffickers into custody and confiscating 60,000 Captagon pills bound for Western black markets. Russia announced today that their military would assist the United Nations in delivering UN humanitarian aid to liberated sectors of East Aleppo. Allied forces are also reportedly massing on all sides of Aleppo's Southern redoubt: Al-Qaeda's last position in the city. The final assault to liberate Aleppo is believed to be imminent.
A human interest story also came out of Damascus. Al-Furkhan Elementary School reopened after a November terrorist attack killed 8 children and wounded 20 others. The children drafted a letter of protest and delivered it by hand to the UN office in Syria. And here in America, college-age adults run to safe spaces over hurtful words and complain about microagressions. Go figure.
The city of Philadelphia was America's first capital and the site where the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution. But today, the hometown of venerable old Ben Franklin was caught in an anti-Election scandal involving top-level city bureaucrats. It appears that Assistant City Solicitor Duncan Lloyd and an unidentified man in hoodie were caught on surveillance cameras, roaring drunk and spray-painting anti-Trump graffiti and obscenities on a grocery store wall.
Insurance investigators estimate the damage at above $3,000. But Philadelphia Mayor James Kenney has taken no disciplinary action against Duncan so far 'pending an investigation.' Which seems somewhat lenient, considering how Philadelphia authorities treat 10 year old girls. But here in the Prozac Nation, bringing scissors to school is worse than drunken city attorneys tagging private businesses with Anarchist graffiti.
Lloyd draws a $63,000 salary representing the City of Philadelphia in federal and state discrimination lawsuits. He is a graduate of Temple University Law School , famous for sponsoring events such as the one in the link. These are the same city bureaucrats who sue businesses and landlords to enforce politically-correct practices.
Craig Straw, Lloyd's boss who's also represented the City in some shady cases, said in a press release that "We do not condone this type of behavior from our employees...We will decide our course of action once we obtain more information from the investigation."
In other words, the incident will be swept under the rug until the media forgets about it.
The US Corporate Media idolizes the American Legal Establishment as dedicated professionals out to serve justice. The reality is that most American lawyers are on the level of Duncan Lloyd and Craig Straw. This media depiction is understandable, considering that the Legal Establishment and the Corporate Media are both heavy donors to Left-Wing political causes; and sensational trials sell well in the press. According to Law360, Pennsylvania had a record number of attorney disbarments in 2014 and the rate of suspensions rose 31% during the same period.
Ironically, Lloyd posted on a social network site recently that in his job "I hear the craziest stories---ones regularly driven by the mores of lust, anger, passion, and envy." Apparently either those mores are contagious, or Lloyd shares them with his client-base.
Ukraine's rump-government in Kiev is at it again. The Neo-Nazi Regime there, who seized power in a 2014 coup backed by Obama, Podesta, and Soros, has since lost the Crimean Peninsula to Russia and half the rest of the country secede and gain its independence. The Beltway has been propping up Kiev as best it can---including infrastructure and industrial invests that they've failed to make in our own country.
Ukraine's strongman, Petro Poroshenko, was one of the few world leaders who endorsed Hilary Clinton during the 2016 campaign for her hardline anti-Russian stance and her promises to keep Obama's welfare dollars flowing into Ukraine. The Ukrainian leadership at all levels is mentally unstable, to say the least. We're talking about a government which has endorsed ideas that Jesus was a Ukrainian and the Battle of Armageddon will be fought in Crimea.
To these ends, Poroshenko's government has formed a loose confederation of his few native sympathizers, European Skinheads, and Jihadist mercenaries into a national army, trained and equipped by the LGBTQ-friendly US Pentagon. This motley group has committed numerous crimes and is really united by its members' mutual hatred for Russia. Now Kiev has begun alleged 'missile tests' less than 20 miles from the Russian border, just outside of Crimea. Russia has responded by placing military units in Crimea and naval deployments in the Black Sea---including ABMs in case a Ukrainian missile 'accidentally' strays into Russian airspace. The missile launches are also taking place in a civilian airline corridor.
Ukraine has had a history of accidents with their missiles, including many that they have sold to the US. The most recent case exploded on the launchpad taking with it a $10 million communications satellite.
Thus, there have been no incidents, which seems to be annoying the Kiev Regime. Ukrainian General Vladimir Kryzhanovski stated to the press that, "We expected some kind of response from the Russians, but so far nothing is happening."
The Pentagon and NATO have blustered about 'Russian Aggression' again, but the US Navy met with two more international humiliations, which hardly would intimidate the world-class Russian Navy. The Navy's $4.4 billion destroyer Zumwalt broke down in the Panama Canal, disrupting shipping before being towed back to California. The Panamanian government launched a formal complaint.
This was bad enough, but then the Pajama-Boys in the Persian Gulf caused another embarrassment. While flying a Marine helicopter on patrol, the few, the proud were frightened away by an Iranian ship 1,000 yards in the distance. Our brave men and women in uniform claimed that they felt threatened when the Iranian crew was observed pointing a gun in their direction. The incident brought forth an outburst of outrage from the Rainbow Pride Pentagon---that Iran would dare enter into US Marines' safe spaces.
In contrast, Crimean Governor Sergei Aksyonov reassured citizens of the province that they had nothing to fear from the Ukrainians, as the Russian Government was on the job. "Ukrainian leaders are always playing dirty tricks," the governor said. "But this is not dangerous to the lives and safety of our citizens. Everything will be OK; the Russian armed forces fully ensure the security of Russian citizens, and that includes Crimea."
In wake the Ohio State University attack, Islamophobia and so-called 'fake news' have been topics sweeping through both the Corporate and Alternative Media. The attack was actually carried out by a naturalized US citizen who'd been educated to radicalism in American public schools, but everyone focuses on the fact that he was born in Somalia and practiced Islam.
So CNN, which has been dutifully reporting a lot of fake news recently, did a controversial publicity stunt this week by dressing 50 year-old reporter Alisyn Cammarota in a headscarf and putting her on-air to encourage Liberal women to don this head-dress along with their diaper-pins to show their opposition to 'hate crimes'. Many---if not most---of the hate crimes reported by CNN have turned out to be hoaxes.
It must be remembered when speaking of Islam that the Moslems are not one monolithic faith. Just as mainstream Christians are subdivided into Catholic, Orthodox, and Protestant sects; so mainstream Islam is subdivided into Shiite and Sunni sects. And just as there are radical pseudo-Christian cults like the Red Pills, Aryan Churches, and the Moonies; so there are extremist Islamic cults like the Wahhabis and Salafists. The problem is that the fake Christians and fake Moslems have a huge presence in the US Corporate Media, while the mainstream members of both religions are ridiculed and ostracized.
IOW, American Christians and Conservative need to be very careful about how the Moslem Question is approached. It's in the interests of the Wahhabis to both foment Islamophobia (and fan it against their enemies) and then play victims of Islamophobia (whenever their crimes are in danger of exposure). Wahhabi-controlled governments like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE, Kuwait, and Bahrain own significant stock in the Corporate Media and invest heavily in the DNC and other Left-Wing causes.
More Moslems have died fighting the Jihadists in places like Syria, Iraq, Iran, Yemen, and Lebanon than the Western countries combined; yet the Government and Media call these countries enemies of America and embargo them as terrorist states. Meanwhile, they call the Wahhabi states allies, and sell them weapons, even though these countries finance terrorism both in the US and abroad. The OSU attacker was sympathetic to Wahhabi terror groups, as was the Orlando, San Bernardino, Chattanooga, Ft. Hood, and 9/11 attackers. In contrast Iran, Syria, Iraq, Yemen, and Lebanon have no terror connections in the US.
The Radical Right plays in concert with the Corporate Media. The Red Pills and their Neo-Nazi White Nationalist confederates often praise the Wahhabis for their treatment of women and their hatred for Jews. At the same time, they oppose Moslem immigration because the Arabs have dark complexions and Semitic features. Besides, these groups are having enough difficulty co-opting Christianity without co-opting Islam as well.
Manosphere Red Pill Cult blogger Andrew Anglin of The Daily Stormer called the OSU attack "a wild ape rampage." Anglin called for deportation of all Moslems and noted that "We have been flooded with these apes...I can tell you very honestly: I hate nothing in the world more than I hate Somalians. I hate them with every fabric of my being." It should be noted as well than many Manosphere Red Pill bloggers frequently praise Anglin as an expert on traditional Christian values.
Islamophobia then, is simply the US Elites playing the same double-game on the domestic population as they play in geopolitics; the difference being that here it's played with words and media, and abroad with guns and bombs. As usual, it's fanatics and international criminals at the bottom of all of it.
According to its website, Tufts University is "recognized as a premier university dedicated to educating new leaders for a changing world." An example of the types of leaders Tufts is educating were involved in arts and crafts therapies in safe spaces following Donald Trump's electoral victory.
As a further indication of Tufts' quality of leadership training, the Tufts Student Senate voted 26-0 against a proposed resolution to ask Tufts' commissars to clarify whether their ill-defined policies against free expression violated their purported commitment to free speech. Here's a sample of the Student Senate's logic in rejecting such a proposal:
"Fifty percent of the students on this campus are not from America, and there are other countries with free speech issues, and some countries handle this better than America." opined one our future leaders, "I think that saying First Amendment Rights are the best kind of rights is not okay."
"I think that clarity in itself is a subjective term so I don't really know what we're voting on." explained another of the brilliant intellects that Tufts produces, "So that's why I'm voting against this resolution...I think that the resolution really harms students."
Another of America's best and brightest argued that the proposed resolution was disturbing the Tufts' student body's tranquility. "We instantly heard that people were feeling unsafe on campus. Survivors of assault were feeling unsafe, students of color, queer and trans students, disabled students, students from all different marginalized identities were feeling unsafe on this campus."
Marginalized identities, indeed. One gets the impression that Tufts University is one big fringe-group.
Tufts University is headed by famous neuroscientist turned social activist, Tony Monaco. Monaco draws a near $800,000 a year salary from Tufts' bloated $1.6 billion annual budget to feed young minds this Bolshevist poison. Monaco, from some of his writings, appears to be an enthusiast of Evolutionary Psychology. He once participated at a roundtable discussion in Britain over whether "racism and religion" were identifiable genetic characteristics. During the seminar, Monaco hinted at his displeasure with free speech.
Annual tuition to Tufts is about $50,000 a year; and according to that stellar academic resource The Advocate, Tufts is among the top 20 'gay-friendly campuses.' Though nominally private, US taxpayers coughed up over $160 million in federal funding for 'research grants' alone. And by their own admission, half of the people involved in this research aren't even American nationals; so our own country by and large doesn't even benefit from this investment.
Wall Street benefits however. Robber-baron Jaime Diamond and a few others, mostly in Big Pharma, are among Tufts alumni as is former Clinton Machine apparatchik, Bill Richardson. Left-wing Microsoft activist Paul Allen is a major donor to Tufts.
The American higher-education system is in desperate need of a complete overhaul. Academia is literally rotten from top to bottom; and Tufts is another example of how bad it really is.
On a day when diaper-pin wearing Liberals are either talking to grief counselors in their safe-spaces at Ohio State or rioting for higher wages at jobs they don't have in West Coast cities; Allied forces in Syria are on the verge of sweeping Al-Qaeda down. The Allies scored two major victories on the Western Front in the last two days.
In the rural districts outside Damascus, Jihadists have been terrorizing the countryside; burning farms and committing other atrocities throughout the year and undermining Syria's agricultural base. Syrian regulars and Hezbollah auxiliaries finally managed to corral the thugs in the Khan Al-Sheik villages in late September and laid siege to the town for about a month. An attempted breakout failed with heavy casualties to Al-Qaeda and last night the Jihadists raised the white flag. Around 300 terrorists surrendered and Allies entered the town to jubilant welcome from cheering crowds.
Aleppo, however, saw the greatest Allied advances in months. The long-awaited attack on the remaining Al-Qaeda redoubt in East Aleppo began in earnest: with an Allied spearhead through the center that split the terrorist forces in half. Around 500 terrorists in the northern redoubt surrendered almost immediately, and Allies liberated the area.
The Russian Defense Ministry estimated about 80,000 civilians were liberated in this week's Aleppo Offensive, and rushed in nearly 10 tons of humanitarian aid this morning alone. Russian medics have set up emergency hospitals in the newly-freed areas. Iranian sources report that there are running street-battles in the southern redoubt between Al-Qaeda and civilians; and that dozens of Jihadists have been killed or captured attempting to escape.
Meanwhile, Barack Obama and John Kerry have been pleading with Moscow in an impotent attempt to save their 'moderate rebels'---to no avail. To add to their frustration, Egyptian President Sisi announced that his country had dispatched military advisors to Syria to join the Allied effort.
In other war-related news, the Allies announced that they had restored water service to Aleppo after capturing the city's water-treatment plant. Obama's 'moderate rebels' cut water to the city for nearly a month and badly damaged the plant in their retreat. Technicians working around the clock restored the water supply in less than 48 hours. In Aleppo's Christian district, some quick-thinking and heroic action by Syrian military engineers foiled an attempt by these same 'moderates' to blow up a Christian Church. Al-Qaeda had constructed a mine under the building, loaded with explosives doubtless intended to be detonated during Christian services. At considerable risk to their own lives, the soldiers entered the tunnel and deactivated the device. The soldiers have reportedly been officially cited and decorated for valor.
Good Men Doing Good Things in Syria
Ohio State University Making Fools of Themselves
In what's become a fairly regular occurrence in the Postmodern US, another radicalized neurotic went on a rampage today, injuring 11 people before being shot by police. The attack happened in Columbus, Ohio at Ohio State University.
The deceased assailant was a legal immigrant from Somalia. Shortly before the attack, the would-be killer posted this statement online, among some other assorted outrage:
"I'm sick and tired of seeing Moslems killed and tortured everywhere! I can't take it any more. America! Stop interfering with other countries, especially the Moslem World. We are not weak; we are not weak. Remember that!" The article also praises Anwar Awlaki, an Al-Qaeda chieftain who was killed in Yemen in 2011.
Where would we suppose that the Ohio State attacker would get such ideas? Maybe here is a part of the answer, from Corporate Media outlet ABC News:
"Abdul Razak Ali Artan was enrolled in Columbus State Community College from Autumn 2014 through Summer 2016."
Artan had just arrived at Ohio State when he was interviewed by the student newspaper as part of Human Interest feature. He said, "I just transferred from Columbus State and we had actual prayer-rooms for Moslems...Here I don't even know where to go. I wanted to pray out in the open, but I was afraid of what people might think, with all that is going on in the media right now...I'm a Moslem, I'm not what the media portrays me to be."
A common theme we continually see in these mass-attacks are that they are committed by young men educated in American public high schools and colleges. It's probably a coincidence that Anwar Awlaki, whom Artan praises as "a hero" graduated from Colorado State University and did graduate work at George Washington University before joining Al-Qaeda in Yemen. The Cultural Marxists running American Academia teach Identity Politics: the notion that one's race, ethnicity, or gender automatically assigns them a place in their own political paradigm---usually as the victim of other races, ethnicities, and gender.
Identity Politics is by its nature anti-American and anti-Christian. America's founding document states that "all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights." Christianity teaches that "For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son, that whomsoever should believe in Him would not perish, but have everlasting life." American freedoms and Christian salvation are available for all willing to accept them.
And sadly today, we see reactionary movements who preach the same Identity Politics disguised as Nationalism and Christianity. But such voices are the enemies of freedom. We hear, for example, Red Pill bloggers like Vox Day writing that "your skin color is your uniform", understand that Artan and the various Black Anarchists who've been ambushing police officers believe that statement too.
We cannot fight Identity Politics by setting up Identity-Groups of our own. To do so is a social reversion back to Tribalism: a state that Western man rose above before the Homeric Age. We fight exclusion with equality. If Artan had been taught in taxpayer-funded schools that birth in Somalia and practicing Islam didn't exclude him from equality as an American, then Columbus State might have produced a valuable member of society for a change.
The American people need to take back responsibility for education from these bandits and propagandists who run our educational system. Trump's nomination of school-choice proponent Beverly DeVos is a good start at the basic levels; and hopefully she will also start meaningful reforms at the college and university levels as well; a reform that is long overdue.
