#2  There are several sites reporting on Larry Sinclair and Obama. Many feel Sinclair is a liar. What is not a lie is that Sinclair was arrested after he spoke of Obama by Beau Biden, Attorney General of Delaware at the time. Shortly afterwards, Obama selected Biden as his VP candidate.

Terrorists infiltrated from Afghanistan eliminated in Tajikistan
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] Employees of the special services of Tajikistan eliminated three terrorists who entered the republic from Afghanistan, violating the Tajik-Afghan border. This was reported by the Khovar news agency, citing the State Committee for National Security of Tajikistan.

The militants entered the country on the night of August 29-30. They violated the Tajik border in the area adjacent to the village of Kevron (Darvaz district of the Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Region of the Republic).

The terrorists were members of the Jamaat Ansarulla group
...native Tajik jihadis who want to establish their own caliphate in Tajikistan. Allied with/subordinate to the Afghan Taliban...
(an organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation). The militants were wanted.

They figured as suspects in criminal cases of illegal participation in armed conflicts in other countries. The militants planned to commit a terrorist act on the territory of Tajikistan on the eve of the Independence Day of the republic.

A special group was engaged in monitoring the routes of movement of terrorists. The militants had forwarded from Afghanistan in advance and hid in caches a large consignment of weapons, military ammunition and explosives, as well as money and means of communication.

In addition, they had maps, diagrams, and instructions on how to use explosives. In addition, we collected information about crowded places and the location of administrative buildings.

On September 5, the militants were surrounded and destroyed. Intelligence officers will continue to conduct operational and investigative activities.

As IA Regnum reported , on April 28, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu warned that in Afghanistan, radical extremist groups have stepped up their activities in neighboring republics. He noted that the situation in Central Asia has prerequisites for further aggravation.

Commenting on this statement, the official representative of the radical Taliban movement ruling in Afghanistan (an organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation), Zabihullah Mujahid , said that the country's authorities are pursuing a policy that contributes to strengthening security not only within the state, but also in the region as a whole. He stressed that the security forces of the republic were able to destroy the remnants of IS (an organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation) in the country.

19 lives lost due to inaccurate targeting in Khartoum state
[SUDANTRIBUNE] At least 19 non-combatants were killed as a result of artillery shelling on Tuesday, targeting Rapid Support Forces (RSF) positions in the Umbada suburb, west of Omdurman.
Concurrently, armed confrontations flared up once more between the two forces near the Armored Corps.

For five consecutive months, fierce confrontations have raged between the Sudan
......
ese army and the RSF in Khartoum’s capital, as well as various areas in the Kordofan and Darfur regions of western Sudan. This ongoing conflict has claimed the lives of approximately 4,500 individuals, according to the United Nations
...boodling on the grand scale...
"Indiscriminate artillery bombardment and dronezaps conducted by the Sudanese army targeted two RSF positions in the Salheen Um Badda area. At least 19 lives were lost as a result of the imprecise targeting of RSF positions," read a statement by the Resistance® Committees of Um Badda District 21.

Over the past two weeks, several neighbourhoods in the Um Badda area have endured mutual bombardments between the army and the Rapid Support Forces, causing civilian casualties and injuries. The paramilitary forces are accused of forcibly displacing area residents, seizing their homes, and converting them into military installations.

Furthermore, fresh armed festivities erupted between the two opposing forces near the Armored Corps, where a wide array of weaponry was deployed.

A military insider, speaking to Sudan Tribune, disclosed that the armed forces retaliated against an attack launched by the RSF, targeting the Armored Corps and inflicting substantial casualties in terms of lives and military equipment.

Additionally, an RSF spokesperson announced that they had successfully captured four tanks and several fully-equipped combat vehicles from the army in the Armored Corps surrounding the al-Shajara area south of Khartoum

Home Front: WoT
Over 60 Domestic Terrorists Face RICO Charges Over Protests Against 'Cop City'
[PJMEDIA] There’s been a lot of talk lately about Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) statute, mainly because of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis’ use of it to target Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and whatever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
and 18 others for prosecution. The state’s RICO act is broader than the federal equivalent, which is why Willis has tried tying multiple offenses to it in order to try to nail the former president.

It turns out that prosecutors can use RICO for actual crimes and not just for left-wing political persecution. Georgia’s Attorney General Chris Carr is using the statute to charge over 60 individuals in conjunction with the domestic terrorism that has taken place over a proposed public safety training center the city of Atlanta wants to build.

"Court officials have confirmed that 61 people have been indicted in a racketeering case tied to protests at the Atlanta Public Safety Training Center," reports WSB Radio.

"The sweeping indictment, handed up last Tuesday in Fulton County court, is being prosecuted by the Georgia Attorney General’s Office," a report from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution indicates. "Fulton Clerk Ché Alexander said a copy of the document should be available today."

Protests over the training center, which left-wing activists have dubbed "Cop City," have gone on since 2021. Ostensibly, these "protesters," to use the mainstream media’s anodyne term, have expressed their displeasure over the environmental concerns, despite the fact that the site served as a prison farm for years.

Goons with ties to both Antifa
...the armed wing of the Democratic Party...
and Stacey Abrams
...sour grapes lo-o-o-o-o-ser (Loser! Loser! Loser!) of the 2018 Georgia governor's race. Now she wants to be somebody's vice president so she can sour grape about that too...
disrupted church services where employees of the contractor were worshiping and Molotov cocktailed a daycare center near the site, but tensions rose to new heights in January when a group of murderous Moslems fired at law enforcement officers clearing the site of squatters. One thug fired at a state trooper, so police shot back and killed him.

Antifa-aligned groups have coordinated several destructive "days of action" to make their voices heard. One problem with these acts is that the thugs terrorizing Atlanta are largely carpetbagging children of privilege; few of them are from Georgia at all, and almost none of them hail from the area near the site.

At one rally, murderous Moslems converged on the site, damaging construction equipment. Another protest resulted in the destruction of a police vehicle and vandalism to historic buildings in midtown Atlanta. Individuals booby-trapped a popular park close to the site of the proposed training center. The state has also charged some of the fundraisers for the group with money laundering.

All the while, residents of the area surrounding the site support the idea of police and other first responders receiving the training they need to do their jobs better. The proposed facility includes a driver training course, housing for police and fire academy trainees, and K-9 training. In other words, the facility will have tremendous benefits for the community on the lam.

When the Atlanta City Council took public comment before a vote to fund the project, it heard 15 hours of comment from members of the community. The support for the project was so overwhelming that the council voted to fund the site by a nearly three-to-one margin.

And now Carr is bringing these charges against five dozen domestic terrorists. Georgia will not stand for outsiders coming in and wreaking havoc on the state, and hopefully, the attorney general’s prosecution of these goons will be successful.

India-Pakistan
Four soldiers martyred as attack on army check posts in Chitral repulsed
[GEO.TV] Four soldiers embraced martyrdom while repulsing terrorist attacks on two Pakistain Army check posts located near the Afghanistan border in the general area Kalash, District Chitral, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said on Wednesday.

"On 6 September 2023, a large group of bully boyz equipped with the latest weapons, attacked two Pak military posts located closer to Pakistain Afghanistan border in general area Kalash, District Chitral," a statement released by the ISPR stated.

It said that the soldiers fought bravely and repulsed the attacks, inflicting heavy casualties on the terrorists.

During the fire exchange, 12 bully boyz were sent to hell, while a large number of the faceless myrmidons were critically injured.

The military's media wing said that the terrorists’ movement and concentration in the Gawardesh, Pitigal, Barg-e-Matel and Batash areas of Nuristan and Kunar province
... which is right down the road from Chitral. Kunar is Haqqani country.....
s of Afghanistan had been identified and timely shared with the interim Afghan government.

"Owing to heightened threat environment, own posts were already on high alert," it added.

The ISPR stated that sanitisation of the area was being carried out to eliminate any other bully boyz found in the area.

"Security forces of Pakistain are determined to eliminate the menace of terrorism and such sacrifices of our soldiers further strengthen our resolve," it said, adding that the brave people of Chitral also stand firmly with the security forces in restricting the bully boyz from ruining the peace of the area.

"Interim Afghan Government is expected to fulfill its obligations and deny the use of Afghan soil by bully boyz for perpetuating acts of terrorism against Pakistain," it concluded.

#1  Maybe I'm just a natural asshole or whatever, but why does the press always need to refer to the specific number of women & children affected in a given story? It's gotta be the one of the Rush Limbaugh theorems - politics by sob story.

#2  Looking at the huge disproportion in evicted males vs females w/children, one wonders how many women and children Turkey is keeping to increase its future population, having sent the competing males back home. We’ve seen reports here that the returned males wander the HTS’s streets in a vain search for shelter and employment before toddling off to the Syrian rump in the hope of a better outcome.

Terrorists kill two police officers in Iran
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] Two officers of the Iranian security forces were killed in an armed attack by a terrorist group in the province of Sistan and Balochistan in southeastern Iran, IRNA reported .

The target of the militant attack was a police station in the city of Taftan. Information about the wounded or dead among the terrorists is not given.

In early July, Iran attacked a police station in the city of Zahedan (Sistan and Balochistan province). Then, as a result of the attack, two policemen were also killed.

At the same time, law enforcement officers were able to eliminate the entire group of militants, which included four people. In mid-August, terrorists attacked the Shakhcherakh mosque in the city of Shiraz (Fars province) in southern Iran.

The criminals opened fire on people who were near the mosque. Two people were killed in the attack and eight others were injured.
