In fond memory of Pappy, who started tracking Somali pirates for us years ago.
[Garowe] Another piracy incident has been reported in Somalia, multiple sources confirmed, just as the country struggles to bring order and stability to the Indian Ocean and the Red Sea coastlines, which are now prone to such attacks.
Eyewitnesses said a merchant's vessel has reported a suspicious approach by a blue-hulled small boat with several gunnies some 170 kilometers northwest of Bosaso, within Puntland ...a region in northeastern Somalia, centered on Garowe in the Nugaal province. Its leaders declared the territory an autonomous state in 1998. Puntland and the equally autonomous Somaliland seem to have avoided the clan rivalries and warlordism that have typified the rest of Somalia, which puts both places high on the list for Islamic subversion... state. Most cases of piracy are reported around the Puntland coastline.

[GoobjoogNews] One person was killed and others injured during a shootout between Puntland ...a region in northeastern Somalia, centered on Garowe in the Nugaal province. Its leaders declared the territory an autonomous state in 1998. Puntland and the equally autonomous Somaliland seem to have avoided the clan rivalries and warlordism that have typified the rest of Somalia, which puts both places high on the list for Islamic subversion... regional government security forces and an gang in Basaso town.
The dear departed, identified as Salim Ayuob died while undergoing treatment following injuries, he sustained during the shootout that occurred Tuesday night, medical and security sources at Basaso confirmed.

[KavkazUzel] Security forces detained a resident of Ingushetia, suspected of justifying the actions of members of the terrorist organization "Caucasus Emirate".
Caucasus Emirate used to be linked to Al Qaeda. In 2015 most of the hard boys changed their allegiance to the local Islamic State affiliate, Vilayat Kavkaz, whereupon a majority chose to escape the Russians hunting them by making hijra to the caliphate in Syria. Those who remained behind appear to be getting caught, one by one.
A resident of Ingushetia was detained on suspicion of publicly justifying terrorism, the Ingushetia newspaper reports today with reference to the press service of the republican Ministry of Internal Affairs.
According to security officials, in September 2023, a resident of Ingushetia posted two comments and a video in one of the telegram channels. “They contain, as established by the expert, psychological and linguistic signs of justification of terrorism, namely, justification of the activities of one of the leaders of the terrorist organization “Caucasus Emirate” and its participant,” says a publication on the website of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for Ingushetia.
FSB investigators opened a criminal case under Part 2 of Article 205.2 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The detainee was given a preventive measure in the form of a written undertaking not to leave the place, the report notes.
Part 2 of Article 205.2 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation provides for from five to seven years of imprisonment.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A Queers for Palestine chapter created a human barricade to the entrance of Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, prompting a bystander to lose his cool.
On Saturday, the Central Florida branch of Queers for Palestine pulled their cars in a blockade on Interstate 4, claiming that Disney supported genocide.
An angry driver became so irate that he got out of the car to yell at the demonstrators, three of whom were arrested 11 minutes later by Florida cops.
'You are losing people to your cause because of this... Think a little bit. You are causing people to actually hate you,' the driver yelled at them.
The protestors responded: 'Go f**k yourself. 45,000 people dead.'
In a video circulating on X, formerly Twitter, police reinforcements showed up to the protest.
One of the activist jumps into the car to leave. They keep recording, streaming the event on Instagram Live, as they start to drive off.
The pro-Palestine demonstrators were arrested by Florida Highway patrol within 11 minutes of them starting the protest.
Three members of the Queers for Palestine group were arrested, per the group's Instagram story. A QR code to their bail fund has been published.
In a series of Instagram stories posted by the central Florida Queers for Palestine branch, they claim that Disney has not only 'publicly pledged support and alliance toward Israel following October 7,' they also '[have] not acknowledged the loss of Palestinian lives in the ongoing genocide.'
The group also states the reason behind their boycott involves Disney's choice to reintroduce an Israeli character during such a polarizing political climate.
'Disney has announced that a character called 'Sabra,' an Israeli superhero, will be featured in Marvel films,' the Instagram story read.
'In a 1981 comic, Sabra shows little remorse for the death of a Palestinian child.'
The group claims Disney has pledged $2 million to Israeli relief efforts following October 7th, and that calls for more boycotts are in order.
Per their story, Disney is on the BDS list, or the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions list that dictates what to boycott or what companies to support or not support. The group instructed its members what they can do to boycott Disney.
'Cancel your Disney+ subscription and Hulu memberships, boycott Disney products (including Marvel), and show up for Palestine,' the Instagram story read.
NEW: The “Queers For Palestine” protesters who blocked the highway exit to Disney World in Orlando, FL, have been arrested by Florida Highway Patrol. I’m told they were arrested within 11 minutes. Florida continues w/ zero tolerance for blocking traffic.
[GEO.TV] A cop was rubbed out after festivities between the police and Awami Action Committee (AAC) protesters as the demonstrations against high electricity bills and taxes entered second day in Mirpur, Azad Jammu and Kashmir ...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there.... (AJK) on Saturday.
Markets, trade centres, offices and schools and restaurants remained closed across the AJK due to the AAC’s call for a shutter down and wheel-jam strike across the state to protest the electricity price hike and taxes.
Heavy police force was deputed on all the ways leading to Madina Market, where the AAC had organised a reception for the long march participants.
The routes leading to Muzaffarabad were blocked with barricades at Shahrah-e-Srinagar, while heavy police contingents remained present on the thoroughfare.
The day dawned with large number of participants from Bhimbar, Mirpur and Kotli marched towards Muzaffarabad in groups.
FJB. But he promises that he loves Israel as he lines up that stiletto at her back.
[GEO.TV] The US has offered Israel’s military "sensitive intelligence" to target Hamas officials in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response... in exchange for not launching a full-scale assault on overcrowded Rafah city, Al Jazeera cited a news report by Washington Post.
The reported that the US also offered other incentives not to launch a major operation in Rafah include information on the location of Hamas’s vast network of tunnels.
Courtesy of Skidmark, the Daily Mail has more, plus recent photos of Rafah and of residents leaving the vicinity as recommended.

American equipment is useful. American intel ...
Why was this intelligence previously withheld? Did the Biden Administration intentionally withhold intel that could have led to the rescue of American hostages?
The Senior Director for Intelligence Programs at the NSC is largely responsible for making this policy determination. https://t.co/ihELxCD8Cc

The treacherous Biden regime stays true to 'their' course.

Huh? I thought Mossad knew when a mouse sneezed in Gaza. How is the US going to be any help? Heck, we're only allied with Isreal because of the intelligence help they offer in the middle east, and now they can't even do that? And it's another problem for Uncle Sam to do for them? And next they're going to complain we're doing a bad job of it. I swear, these never-offer-thanks, always take-take-take countries really piss me off. How about a rousing chorus of America first!Come on everyone, with me! America first! America first! America first!
How much would anyone like to bet that if the Biden Administration knows exactly where these tunnels are now, that they also knew where they were months ago? But now that it’s politically expedient to offer this information to Netanyahu now, Joe Biden does so. It just goes to show how little Biden and the rest of his Administration value the lives of the hostages and the innocents in the region in general.
So, US Intelligence agents and asset networks have withdrawn to Rafah. Thanks for the Biden administration confirmation.

"Who will help me rid our land of these evil people?", asked the Little Red Hen.
No question the Gaza situation is a mess and a tragedy and a humanitarian catastrophe and all that. We can debate the historical reasons this tarbaby came to be, but the bottom line is Hamas has to go now. Maybe instead of standing around pointing out all the things the IDF is doing wrong, maybe we could lend a hand to help end it. The sooner it is over, the better off everyone will be, Israelis and Paleos both.
#11
Show of hands, who knows that the endgame here is to remove the population of Gaza and dump them as refugees on America? And we get to pay for it. How does this benefit America at all to "end it"?
And if it doesn't benefit us, then why are we doing it?

If a radical subversive group of Muslim Jihadists were to be secretly be directing catastrophic policy decisions by this "President"to import the time-bomb of Palestinian Extremists by the tens of thousands to destroy or nation as subsidized, refugee immigrants, how would it be different?

Hagari also said that Israeli forces operating in Gaza City's Zeitoun district killed about 30 Paleostinian bad boys.

[Rudaw] At least three members of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) were killed by a suspected Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems.... (ISIS) boom-mobileing in Syria’s eastern Deir ez-Zor province on Friday.
"This evening, Friday, the mercenaries of the terrorist organization ISIS detonated a boom-mobile driven by a jacket wallah into one of our military posts in the town of al-Shuhail, in the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor," the SDF said in a statement.
