The Justice Department on Wednesday indicted eight young anti-Israel activists, most of whom studied or worked at the University of Michigan, for orchestrating a criminal plot "to terrorize government officials, businesses, and the Jewish Federation" of Detroit. The defendants, many of them known campus agitators, targeted the homes of university officials and intended to use "poison, bombs, and psychological torture" on their targets. "In the dead of night, masked and hooded defendants allegedly threw noxious chemicals through the windows of families' homes and taped demand letters to their front doors," said Jennifer Runyan, the special agent in charge of the...

In 2009, Barack Obama advocated an internal, Gestapo-like security force: “We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.”That never came to pass, and Obama apologists whined that The Lightbringer was only talking about the sum of the enforcement arms of the Federal Government. He plainly wasn’t, but if they were correct, that goal reached fruition during Obama’s third term: Biden’s Handler’s Administration. Their “whole of government” approach to weaponization against Normal...

BERLIN (AFP) — Germany on Monday deported to Iran an alleged Iranian secret agent who was jailed for life in 1997 for murdering four Kurdish dissidents in Berlin, officials in the German capital said. Kazem Darabi's Lebanese accomplice, Abbas Rhayel, has also been freed after serving 15 years in jail and was deported last week, prosecuting authorities told AFP. A lawyer close to the case had earlier said that both men were to be deported on Monday night. Darabi, 48, and Rhayel, a suspected member of the Iranian-backed Lebanese Hezbollah militia movement, were jailed for life for the 1992 murder...

A Toronto police officer has been shot to death during a raid tied to a March shooting outside the US consulate. The officer was shot during a gunfire exchange at a high-rise building in the early hours of Thursday, the Toronto Police Service said. He was later pronounced dead in hospital. Police had been investigating suspects who allegedly fired shots at the US consulate building in Toronto earlier this year, in what US and Canadian authorities described at the time as a "national security incident". (excerpt) US officials have linked the March shooting to a dual Iranian-Iraqi national accused of...

Multiple floors and corridors inside the Pentagon have been locked down and others are being evacuated due to a “hazardous materials incident,” three sources familiar and the local fire department said. Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell confirmed Thursday that systems within the Pentagon “have detected an air quality issue necessitating precautionary measures until we determine its significance.” “The Department is executing standard protection protocols, including a shelter-in-place order for the affected area,” Parnell said. “Response teams are in place and ready to support building occupants.”

ALBAWABA- Unconfirmed reports circulating on social media and in several regional media outlets claim that Ahmad Vahidi, commander-in-chief of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), was killed in recent Israeli airstrikes targeting sites in or around Tehran. On Sunday afternoon, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) carried out an airstrike allegedly on a Hezbollah command centre in the Dahiyeh district of Beirut, following earlier rocket fire launched into northern Israel by Hezbollah. In response, Iran declared that Israel had “crossed all red lines” in Lebanon and launched multiple waves of ballistic missile strikes targeting Israeli territory late on Sunday, June 7...

Iranian state media networks have published an explicit hit list featuring nineteen senior United States and Israeli political and military figures, formally accusing them of direct responsibility for the death of Ayatollah Khamenei. The political and military leadership of the Western alliance has been placed on high security alert following the publication of a highly aggressive, state sanctioned hit list originating from Tehran. The graphic, which has been widely circulated across regional state networks and paramilitary channels, names nineteen specific high ranking officials from the United States and Israel, labeling them as defendants in the assassination of Supreme Leader Ayatollah...

April 03, 2009, 2:00 p.m. Imperial Judiciary Goes GlobalBy the Editors In 2004, the Supreme Court sowed the seeds for a national-security upheaval when it ruled, in Rasul v. Bush, that war prisoners held outside the United States had a right to challenge their detentions in federal court. Last year, in Boumediene v. Bush, the justices continued the seismic shift, holding that the right they had invented in Rasul — a right extended to aliens whose only connection to the United States is in waging war against it — was somehow rooted in our Constitution. Thursday, the inevitable earthquake...

In 1955, Algeria had over 1 million Catholics and 140,000 Jews. Today, as Pope Leo visits Algeria, there are some 8,000 Catholics in Algeria and there are fewer than 200 Jews.99% of the population of what was one of the old territories of Christianity are Sunni Muslims.Was Islam so popular that all the Christians and Jews decided to convert? Not at all. They were persecuted, murdered, tortured and driven out by Islamic violence that occurred in our lifetimes.Christians and Jews had lived in Algeria since Roman times. Now they’re gone.This Christian genocide was endorsed by major world powers, aided and...

President-elect Donald Trump’s victory bodes well for US-Morocco relations. As King Mohamed VI recalled in his statement congratulating Trump on his election win, during his first term, Trump recognized Rabat’s full sovereignty over the disputed territory of Western Sahara. Trump made this recognition with a presidential proclamation on December 10, 2020, in exchange for Morocco reestablishing diplomatic relations with Israel. In his statement, Mohammed VI went on to say that “the Moroccan people will forever be grateful” for this recognition, calling Washington “our longstanding friend and ally.” While Morocco hopes to pick up where it left off in negotiations with...

Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad said yesterday that the world's Muslims had only themselves to blame for the poverty, misery and violence afflicting much of the Islamic world. The veteran leader made his comments in a speech to religious affairs ministers meeting for the Organisation of the Islamic Conference. Last month he sparked a row at the outset of an OIC foreign ministers meeting by suggesting Palestinian suicide bombers should be considered terrorists for deliberately attacking civilians. This time he also laid into the OIC itself, saying its inaction and disunity had damaged its reputation. "I am ashamed to say...

DIRE STRAITSTerrorists under the bed By Anil Netto PENANG, Malaysia - As United States troops pour into the southern Philippines to help in tracking down the armed Abu Sayyaf group, focus in the war against terrorism has clearly extended to Southeast Asia. The US troop deployment coincides with a Newsweek magazine report citing secret Federal Bureau of Investigation data that apparently showed that Malaysia was a primary operational launch-pad for the September 11 attacks on the US. Ironically, Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad of Malaysia, where more than 40 alleged militants have been detained without trial since last May, forcefully denied ...

The FBI arrested three men on Friday on charges of conspiring to provide material support to the Islamic State (ISIS), according to a statement from the United States Department of Justice (DOJ). Bisaam Ghafoor, 21, Elias Shamsaldeen, 21, and Bereen Dzayee, 25, were taken into custody following a complaint filed in the District of Kansas. They were accused of 'conspiring to provide material support to terrorism' after collectively giving over $2,000 in cryptocurrency to an individual believed to be a member of ISIS. The allegations in the complaint were found to be substantiated, and the funds were proven to have...

Democrat projection justifies all manner of damage. Democrats excel at several tactics, among them: cheating in elections and projection. One can be certain that whatever Democrats are accusing Normal Americans of doing or intending to do, they’re already doing or are planning to do. A particularly common bit of Democrat projection these days is the assertion that political violence is a Republican tactic. Mostly peaceful but fiery Democrats are merely helpless bystanders and victims. We’ve seen plentiful evidence of this sort of projection in the Minneapolis anti-ICE protests, and most recently in the New Jersey anti-ICE protests. We’ve seen it...

The UK is on the edge of losing its culture and heritage, aided by a compliant government. The US is nearing the precipice as well. America has long been a welcoming host to immigrants, believing that those coming to these shores were seeking a better life and opportunity and were willing to become part of the American tapestry. Although the starts were rough, the Irish and Italians came and did assimilate to become part of the American culture, seeing themselves as Americans first. It was true for my grandparents as well. Despite not being able to speak much English they...

The nation's top military official in the Middle East on Wednesday said Iran is one of the greatest threats to the U.S. today and has increased its "destabilizing role" in the region. "I believe that Iran is operating in what I call a gray zone," Commander of the U.S. Central Command, Army Gen. Joseph Votel, told the House Armed Services Committee in testimony Wednesday. "And it's an area between normal competition between states — and it's just short of open conflict." The general said Iran is exploiting this area in a variety of different ways, through things such as "lethal...

This story is unbelievable... from the show transcripts: "In 2021, my church was bombed, right? I was going to ask you about that. It was bombed by homosexuals because of my preaching. So, we started in the city of Elmani and you know, it was a righteous church."

WOW!!! After violent leftist rioters were cleared outside of Newark ICE detention center by police, the supplies left behind by them are STAGGERING! Who is funding all of this?! It certainly looks like a massively organized operation, not a 'grass roots campaign' that just sprang up... Of course the MSM will NEVER LET YOU SEE THIS................. 1:43 VIDEO AT LINK..........

These are not 'protesters', they are a left wing militia group engaging in INSURRECTION!................. Tents, food, drink, medical supplies........... SHORT VIDEO AT LINK................

I have written several times about the fundamental corruption of the UNRWA. It is one of two "refugee" aid organizations at the United Nations. It is dedicated to serving Palestinians throughout the Middle East. The other exists to serve every other refugee in the world. That's right. One agency for Palestinians. The other for every other refugee in the world. Think about that and let it sink in. Now, think about the fact that Palestinians are the only "refugees" who have had that status for 80 years. It is absurd. They are not refugees. They weren't even kicked out of...
