[DM] The mother of a sniper who killed two migrants in a horror shooting at a Dallas ICE facility was a liberal supporter of anti-gun laws who targeted members of the GOP over mass shootings.
Sharon Jahn, the mother of 29-year-old Joshua Jahn, kept an active Facebook page where she followed everyone from Kamala Harris and Rachel Maddow to an account representing the U.S. Democratic Socialists.
After the tragic mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas in 2022, she posted a lengthy rant to Facebook challenging Senators Ted Cruz and John Cornyn, as well as Governor Greg Abbott for their support of gun rights.
She wrote: 'Governor Abbott, Senator Cornyn and Senator Cruz how does it make you feel that your action to open up gun laws is responsible for the killing of 21 more people? Do you secretly sit in front of a tv and smile a demented smile? You must be proud of all the money that sits in your bank accounts from gun lobby support. Was it worth it, Governor Abbott? How about you senators?'
'When you prioritize money over people this is what you get,' Jahn added, noting 'blood money' all three had taken from the gun lobby.
She further slammed Cornyn for not having 'the spine to stand up to the NRA' for missing their annual meeting and saying he was a 'spineless coward.
'Why have our government officials failed us? Their lust for money and power. It is time we vote out spineless tools and bring in people who actually care about others.'
She also posted a poem that read: 'If we only have love, we can melt all the guns, and give the new world to our daughters and sons.'
Jahn was confronted by The Independent earlier Tuesday while she was sobbing.
'I'm sorry, I can't talk to you right now. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. But I just can't talk to you now,' she said.
The Daily Mail has reached out to Jahn for further comment.
Her son Joshua Jahn, 29, was named as the gunman who opened fire on the ICE detention center around 7am Wednesday morning, before killing himself as cops descended on him.
Law enforcement said that the sniper perched on a roof adjacent to the facility and rained bullets on the migrants as they were being transported in an unmarked ICE van.
Investigators said that they are still establishing a motive, but believe the shooting may have been fueled by anti-law enforcement sentiment.
FBI Director Kash Patel released images of bullets found at the scene, showing 'anti-ICE' scrawled on the shells in blue ink.
After Jahn was identified as the alleged shooter, his brother Noah told NBC News that he did not believe his brother was especially interested in politics and had not voiced his opinions on immigration before.
'He didn't have strong feelings about ICE as far as I knew,' his brother said.
Noah said his brother was unemployed but had previously worked as a coder, and was planning on moving in with their parents in Oklahoma.
Jahn has been pictured in a mugshot from his arrest in 2015, when he was hit with felony charges for delivering marijuana in an amount greater than 1/4 ounce.
He was a registered independent in the 2024 election, but last voted in the Democratic primaries in March 2020, records showed.
The alleged shooter's brother reportedly spoke before he knew that his brother had been identified as the sniper, and described him as 'unique' without elaborating.
'I didn't think he was politically interested,' he continued, saying he had last seen him two weeks before the shooting on Wednesday and nothing seemed unusual.
'He wasn't interested in politics on either side as far as I knew.'
The siblings grew up in Allen, Texas, and spent their childhoods attending the Boy Scouts, the brother said.
He added that his brother knew how to use a rifle that his parents owned, but insisted that 'he's not a marksman, that's for sure.'
Asked about the ICE facility shooting, he remarked: 'He would not be able to make any shots like that.'
As investigators descended on the scene in Dallas, images showed a poster taped to the side of a vehicle believed to belong to Jahn.
A sign with what appears to be black splatter on the car reads: 'Radioactive fallout from nuclear detonations that've passed over these areas more than 2x since 1951.'
Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin told CNN that the death toll stood at two as of Wednesday afternoon. A third victim was in serious condition.
Investigators said Jahn fired 'indiscriminately' at the ICE office, peppering the transport van with bullets and also hitting windows in the building numerous times.
Witness Arianny Sierra told NBC that she was in her car waiting for her husband to return from an ICE appointment in the facility when she heard shots ring out.
'The shots began at around 6:10 a.m. There were like 20 shots in a row,' she said.
The victims were ICE detainees, and no law enforcement were injured in the shooting. Officials said at a press conference on Wednesday morning that the sniper opened fire 'from an elevated position' as migrants were inside the transport van.
He is believed to have been found on the roof of a nearby immigration attorney's office, WFAA reported.
Patel said in an X post: 'While the investigation is ongoing, an initial review of the evidence shows an ideological motive behind this attack.
'These despicable, politically motivated attacks against law enforcement are not a one-off.'
Although the sniper appeared to target migrants in ICE custody, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton wrote on X that the shooting represented an attack on ICE and law enforcement.
'We will continue to do everything in our power to combat the alarming increase of targeted attacks against ICE and all law enforcement by evil, twisted individuals,' Paxton wrote.

Sharon Jahn.
Regarding your liberal whiny comments about Gun Control.
Where were you in his life?
Seeing that you raised and indoctrinated this Mentally Ill son. Programmed him full of HATE, and overlooked and did not report he owned a firearm?
So, Sharon Jahn, how does it feel to have raised and helped a Murder accomplish his programming?
[FoxNews] "In defense of our security team, people need to understand that they do not have jurisdiction on the rooftops or the surrounding area," Kolvet said. "Their only jurisdiction on a campus is Charlie's physical proximity, and they were coordinating with local PD and campus PD to make sure all of those venues [were secure]." Did anybody ask?

I've got your juris-f'n-diction right here". Or close, anyway.
So some freak refused access to a rooftop scan?

My thought is, if you're doing security for an outdoor event, at the very least get your own drones and put them up to monitor things.
May not prevent everything, but if you don't you're not even trying.

[ENGLISH.NEWS.CN] Cameroon ...a long, narrow country that fills the space between Nigeria and Chad on the northeast, CAR to the southeast. Prior to incursions by Boko Haram nothing ever happened there... and Chad have signed a military cooperation agreement to strengthen security along their shared border, Cameroon's Ministry of Defense announced on Wednesday.
Cameroonian Defense Minister Joseph Beti Assomo and his Chadian counterpart Issaka Maloua Djamous signed the deal on Tuesday in Yaounde, the capital of Cameroon.
The ministry said in a statement that the agreement will enhance joint ground operations and facilitate the sharing of strategic security information between the two countries.
Cameroon and Chad are facing growing border security challenges, including Boko Haram ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality... terrorism and illicit cross-border trafficking.

“Islam is not here to coexist. We were sent to dominate the world, to extinguish and wipe out every other religion. We are superior to everyone else.
"It is the nature of Islam to dominate, not to be dominated, to impose its law on all nations and to extend its power to the entire planet."
Hassan al-Banna, Founder of the Muslim Brotherhood
"The ambassador answered us that it was founded on the laws of their Prophet, that it was written in their Koran, that all nations who should not have acknowledged their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as prisoners, and that every Musselman who should be slain in battle was sure to go to Paradise"
Thomas Jefferson on the Barbary Pirates, 1786
All of this has been known for centuries. The goal is a global Islamic slave empire.

[BBC] US airstrikes on alleged drug-trafficking boats in the Caribbean Sea are an "act of tyranny", Colombia's President Gustavo Petro told the BBC in an interview where he also called for criminal proceedings against US officials if investigations find Colombians were killed in the attacks.
President Donald Trump has cast the strikes, which have reportedly killed 17 since they began this month, as needed to stop the flow of fentanyl and other illegal narcotics into the US.
Legal experts and lawmakers, though, have questioned if they violate international human rights laws.
"Why launch a missile if you could simply stop the boat and arrest the crew?" said Petro. "That's what one would call murder."
Speaking to the BBC on Wednesday, Petro said there should be "zero deaths" in stopping speedboats believed to be involved in drug smuggling.
"We have a long history of collaborating with American agencies and other agencies of carrying out maritime seizures of cocaine," he said. "No one has ever died before. There is no need to kill anyone."
He added that the principle of the proportionality of force is violated "if you use anything more than a pistol".
The strikes in international waters have primarily focused on Colombia's neighbour Venezuela, according to the Trump administration, but the US has provided little details about the targets and the individuals killed, and its reports that members of the Tren de Aragua gang were on the first attacked boat are in dispute.
Democratic lawmakers in Washington have demanded answers from the White House over the legality of the strikes, which United Nations experts have described as extrajudicial executions.
US strike on 'Venezuela drug boat': What do we know, and was it legal?
Asked about Petro's comments, the White House said Trump was "prepared to use every element of American power to stop drugs from flooding into our country and to bring those responsible to justice".
In the interview, conducted in New York where dignitaries from around the world have gathered for an annual high-profile United Nations meeting, Petro also accused the Trump administration of humiliating his people and said South American nations like his would not "bow down to the king".
After returning to office in January, Trump toughened his talk, as well as his trade policies, for all of Latin America as he began a major deportation sweep of people he says have illegally crossed the US southern border.
Trump also designated several drug-trafficking organisations and criminal groups in Mexico and elsewhere in Latin America as terrorist organisations.
As well as Tren de Aragua, Trump has taken aim at the Cartel of the Suns - a group that the US alleges is headed by Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro and other high-ranking Venezuelan officials, some drawn from the country's military or intelligence services.
The US military has moved to bolster its forces in the southern Caribbean over the last two months, including through the deployment of additional naval vessels and thousands of US Marines and sailors.
Petro has repeatedly sparred with his US counterpart. Pressed on whether he now risked further isolating his country, Petro said it was Trump who was isolating the United States with his foreign policies.
"Trump had already insulted me during a presidential campaign, he called me a terrorist," he said.
The reason that we don't arrest the crew - aside from the risk to our own guys, one of whose lives is priceless compared to the TdA minions - is that given the way our system works, there's a better than even chance that nothing happens to them.
Even if they should somehow go to prison (assuming some moron judge doesn't just let 'em go in the first place) they're going to be getting three hots and a cot while making many new friends among the like-minded fellas in there with them. They'll have access to lawyers (which we get to pay for), medical care (ditto), education (ditto) while they become celebrities. The world will condemn us for our cruelty while you are praised for fighting for their release.
Ain't happenin' Gus. Dead druggies whose grave is the deep blue sea sends a most powerful message: this shit can get you killed, and for nothing. We let it go way too long, and that's on us. Don't complain now that we're finally punching back, that could really get you in a world of hurt. You'd do well to disentangle yourself from Maduro, but TBH Gus - I don't think you're that smart.
Bad moon rising, Gus - make the right call while you still got a chance.

Meloni, who spoke to journalists in New York where she is attending the UN General Assembly, said her government had proposed to hand over the flotilla's aid to Cyprus and the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem to prevent further risks.
She said Italia was expecting an answer from the Gaza flotilla activists about this compromise proposal.

[REGNUM] On September 23, in a district of the Norwegian capital Oslo, two grenades were thrown from the window of a car leaving Bislett Stadium. One exploded, the other did not. A short time later, specialists detonated the grenade under their supervision.
According to police, the incident is related to a gangland dispute. Two 13-year-olds were arrested. Both are under the age of criminal responsibility and are currently under the supervision of child protection authorities.
Probably Kurds, Iraqis, possibly Syrians. Eastern Europeans or Russian ethnics are less likely…
Police believe they may have committed the violent acts on behalf of third parties,
…ie. Iran?
so further arrests cannot be ruled out. Law enforcement agencies are currently determining who these individuals are.
Events of this kind are more often associated with neighboring Sweden. However, this criminal incident, more likely related to internal Norwegian "showdowns," has highlighted the problem of juvenile delinquency in Norway as well.
The Moslem colonist gangs preferentially deploy yoots for their violence, because they only get a slap on the wrist instead of serious time.
As police emphasized, the country is systematically working to identify those who order illegal activities, and is actively implementing nationwide measures to combat criminal networks.
For example, the Norwegian government is proposing a penalty of up to three years' imprisonment for involving minors in criminal activity.
See?
Currently, the Norwegian Criminal Code does not contain such an article. The proposal now calls for creating a separate offence, including training or mentoring a minor.
The problem has been noticed at the highest level.
Speaking to the Labour Party's central leadership after winning the recent parliamentary elections, party chairman and Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre emphasized the threat posed by international organized crime, which has reached critical levels in Europe.
He announced the introduction of enhanced border controls and an increase in the number of police and investigative agencies, declaring that he would not allow gangs to take root in the shadows and criminals to enrich themselves by posing a threat to society.
For now, the announced plan will be implemented as part of a new pan-European entry and exit registration system, which will be introduced in stages starting October 12, 2025. It is emphasized that this is intended to protect Schengen Area residents from unlawful actions by third-country nationals. However, the effectiveness of this new instrument will only be assessed over time.
There are two factors worth noting when it comes to youth crime in Norway.
Firstly, there is the widespread use of social media: in the same speech, Støre condemned the trend of teenagers posting videos glorifying crime.
Secondly, there's the migration factor. According to Statistics Norway, native Norwegians are charged with crimes less frequently than people from other countries.
With immigrants representing 20% of the population, they, their children who received Norwegian passports, and non-residents accounted for 32% of the offenses heard in court between 2020 and 2023. A total of 527,000 such charges were brought.
Over the same period, immigrants and Norwegians born in Norway to immigrant parents accounted for approximately 130 charges per 1,000 people. For the rest of the population, the rate was just over 80 charges per 1,000 people.
Sylvi Listhaug, leader of the Progress Party, which has always advocated for stricter immigration, notes its connection with crime.
Just in early September, the Norwegian broadcaster NRK published an article claiming that Oslo is mired in crime (25% of all criminal cases in Norway are investigated there), and Norwegian politicians are calling for increased funding for local law enforcement, as the situation is becoming alarming.
The Norwegian capital has allegedly become the country's main centre for drug trafficking and organised crime.
Despite the annual increase in the number of registered crimes, the crime detection rate is declining due to staff shortages. Due to constant stress, many police officers are leaving the service. Experts also believe that the excessive workload of those remaining leads to a decline in the quality of investigations.
Recent events in Oslo only confirm fears: juvenile crime will become increasingly serious, and the rate of murders and serious incidents will increase.
Unless the authorities take immediate steps to bring the crisis under control and increase funding and support for law enforcement, Norway will become mired in crime.

Why did the New York Times recently report that the Gates Foundation, a major donor in the Arabella network bankrolling leftist causes (color revolution-style operations), severed ties?
Why was The Atlantic, a leftist mouthpiece, forced to admit that left-wing terrorism and extremism "is on the rise"?
The NYT's coverage of the Gates Foundation's severing ties with the Arabella network (read report) may signal to other leftist billionaire donors and dark-money groups that some of the largest backers of the permanent protest-industrial complex against President Trump are quietly reassessing their ties as a White House enforcement period nears. After all, no billionaire or their prized nonprofits want to be slapped with RICO charges or providing "material support" to domestic terrorists by funding rogue NGOs subverting the nation.
When an anchor donor like the Gates Foundation withdraws so abruptly, others often follow suit. Another reason may be that the Arabella network funneled at least $114.8 million (as per a Peter Schweizer & Seamus Bruner report) to "No Kings" protest organizers and affiliates that smeared Trump and his supporters as "fascists" while normalizing hate rhetoric and even assassination culture within the Democratic Party.
In fact, the folks behind No Kings are plotting the next color revolution-style operation.
The latest string of far-left attacks across the nation in what civil terrorism expert Jason Curtis Anderson calls "nihilistic accelerationism" suggests that "Far-left extremism extends far beyond groups like Antifa. There is an entire revolutionary (marxist) ecosystem of interconnected entities: billion-dollar progressive NGOs, anarchist networks, political organizations such as the DSA, foreign influence operations like the Singham network, gaming platforms, Discord servers and reddit threads, the dark web, and even civil-rights organizations staffed with "movement lawyers" fully dedicated to waging war against the West until it collapses."
Recall the FBI is investigating the Armed Queers Salt Lake City after the Kirk political assassination.
This group of Marxist radicals had an apparent obsession with the No Kings protest and the 50501 movement ... Not a good look for the Arabella Network and the Gates Foundation.
The Atlantic's admission that left-wing terrorism is "on the rise" marks yet another crack in the deep-state narrative that supposedly hate and violence were emanating from the right. That was all mallarky.
Both revelations surfacing one after the other come as President Trump's team threatens the Soros Foundation with RICO charges, declared war on radical left groups, and labeled Antifa a domestic terrorist group.
[FoxNews] John Brown Gun Club advertisement references slogan allegedly written on shell casing by suspected Charlie Kirk assassin
In the wake of Charlie Kirk's Sept. 10 assassination allegedly at the hands of a left-wing ideologue, a leftist gun club with ties to political violence posted recruiting flyers at Georgetown University with references to Kirk's death.
"Hey fascist! Catch!" says a red flyer from the John Brown Gun Club posted on Georgetown's campus.
The phrase is a nod to the same slogan which was allegedly written on a shell casing by Tyler Robinson, who stands accused of murdering Kirk at a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University.
"The only political group that celebrates when Nazis die," the advertisement says.
It is adorned with a QR code linking to a page that says, "We're building a community that's done with ceremonial resistance and strongly worded letters. If you want to make a real change in your community, let us know below."
Turning Point USA spokesman and Charlie Kirk Show executive producer Andrew Kolvet flagged the flyers in a social media post Wednesday afternoon.
Shae McInnis, a sophomore at Georgetown University and treasurer of the school's College Republicans Club, found the posters in plain sight on the school's activity board on Wednesday morning.
"So, obviously I read this immediately as a threat, not only for me but for everyone on this campus," McInnis told Fox News Digital. "Every conservative, everyone who just does not subscribe to the prevailing leftist orthodoxy. This is a direct threat against them. It means that there are students at this campus who want to see conservatives dead rather than engaging with their ideas, rather than facilitating a political discourse."
"Ever since President Trump won the election in January, we've seen an increase in this rhetoric," he continued. "But really, I think many conservatives noticed a change after Charlie Kirk's assassination. While much of the school was united in condemning this horrible act of political violence, there have been fringe elements on the left on social media that we have seen really defend this, justify this, and that is really unacceptable.
The Center for Counter Extremism lists the John Brown Gun Club as a "far-left group."
Members of the organization frequently show up armed at left-wing political events under the guise of protecting protesters from right-wing counter-protesters, and the gun club is tied to recent anti-ICE violence.
On July 4, a dozen people attacked the Prairieland Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas.
A criminal complaint filed by the U.S. District Court Northern District of Texas alleges that assailants shot 20 to 30 rounds from an AR-15-style rifle before it jammed, causing it to malfunction.
Some of the suspects in that case are accused of setting off fireworks and graffiting ICE vehicles with slogans like "ICE Pig" in order to lure unarmed agents into a parking lot. At around the same time, more suspects allegedly opened fire from a nearby tree line, striking a local police officer and injuring him.
Eleven suspects face federal charges, including three counts of attempted murder of federal agents in addition to three counts of discharging a firearm in relation to a crime of violence.
One of those suspects is Benjamin Song, a long-time antifa agitator who in 2023 was involved in a skirmish with a right-wing group called the New Columbia Movement during a drag event in Fort Worth.
A lawsuit filed by the New Columbia Movement says Song was at the event providing security as a member of the John Brown Gun Club's Elm Fork Chapter. He was accused of pepper spraying members of the group, but never charged criminally.
The club has chapters nationwide, and another member, Willem van Spronsen, was killed by authorities in 2019 when he tried to blow up an ICE detention center by igniting a propane tank and throwing Molotov cocktails at the building.
"You know, we're totally comfortable with the fact that many people disagree with us, and that's what a university is supposed to do," said McInnis. "It's supposed to sharpen ideas based on what people disagree with. But it's not until I saw this poster early this morning that I ever felt directly threatened. I mean, this poster is directly calling for the death of conservatives on this campus."
The club is named for militant slave abolitionist John Brown, who in 1856 orchestrated the Pottawatomie Massacre. He and fellow abolitionists dragged five Kansas settlers suspected of having pro-slavery sympathies out of their homes and executed them.
In October 1859, Brown led a 21-man raid on a federal armory in Harper's Ferry, part of Virginia at the time. His goal was to start a slave uprising, but few slaves joined the fight. A local militia confronted Brown and his men and fought back. Four townspeople, including freed slave Heyward Shepherd, were caught in the crossfire and killed in the skirmish. After 10 of his men were killed, Brown was captured. He was later tried for treason and eventually hanged.
"Georgetown University has no tolerance for calls for violence or threats to the university," a spokesperson for the school told Fox News Digital. "The flyers have been removed and the university is investigating this incident and working to ensure the safety of our community."
Andy Ngo weighs in:
The John Brown Gun Club is the Antifa militia group that the 2019 Tacoma ICE Antifa gunman was a member of. Willem van Spronsen also referenced “Bella Ciao” in his manifesto.
I also need to point out the possibility that the flyer is not for a real group, or a group that has no affiliation with the John Brown Gun Club. The QR code directs users to a Google Doc sign-up form, which is not the typical method used by the JBGC and similar groups for…

[FoxNews] Nidal Hasan killed 13 people in the 2009 Fort Hood shooting and has exhausted all appeals
The Pentagon is preparing to ask President Donald Trump to authorize the execution of Nidal Hasan,
…the Palestinian-American psychiatrist who’d been corresponding with Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula big turban Anwar al-Awlaki …
the former Army major convicted of carrying out the 2009 mass shooting at Fort Hood in Texas, a senior Department of Defense official told The Daily Caller News Foundation.
If approved, it would be the first U.S. military execution in more than six decades. Hasan, a former Army psychiatrist, killed 13 people and wounded 32 others in the attack.
Hasan entered Fort Hood’s Soldier Readiness Center armed with a semi-automatic pistol and opened fire on fellow service members preparing for deployment.
During his subsequent trial, Hasan admitted to the shooting and claimed it was necessary to protect the "Islamic Empire" from American forces.
The Pentagon had categorized the massacre as an act of "workplace violence," a decision that drew sharp criticism from lawmakers, victims’ families and national security experts. They argued it obscured the ideological and terrorist motivations behind the attack.
In 2013, a military jury convicted Hasan and sentenced him to death.
He has been held on death row at the U.S. Disciplinary Barracks in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, ever since.
After years of appeals, Hasan's final legal challenge was rejected in April 2025, clearing the way for execution.
"I am 100% committed to ensuring the death penalty is carried out for Nidal Hasan," Department of War Secretary Pete Hegseth told Fox News Digital. "This savage terrorist deserves the harshest lawful punishment for his 2009 mass shooting at Fort Hood. The victims and survivors deserve justice without delays."
Hasan is one of just four prisoners facing the death penalty under military jurisdiction.
The Army secretary has already recommended execution, and the Department of War is advancing the request.
Hasan, born in Arlington, Virginia, in 1970 to Palestinian immigrant parents, served nearly 20 years in the Army before reportedly embracing radical Islamist beliefs.
By the time he was stationed at Fort Hood in 2009, he had become outspoken in his opposition to U.S. military campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan, justifying suicide bombings as legitimate acts of war.
[GEO.TV] Council of Islamic Ideology (CII) has yet to decide on withholding tax as per the Islamic law, its chief Allama Dr Muhammad Raghib Hussain Naeemi said on Wednesday.
His clarification came shortly after a press release by the CII declared withholding tax on money transfers and withdrawals to be against Sharia (Islamic law).
Talking to Geo News, the CII chairman said the note-taking staff misunderstood that withholding tax had been declared un-Islamic. He said that the CII would discuss matters related to the withholding tax in its next meeting.
''Several members of the council were against the withholding tax,'' Dr Naeemi added.
He said: ''They left the meeting when food was served and the staff thought that withholding tax was declared against Sharia.''
''Regarding today's meeting of the CII, there was an impression that the council had formed a final opinion on the withholding tax, whereas in fact, a few members had an initial discussion on it, in which the members had different opinions. The members said that they would consult experts on this in the next meeting,'' read a clarification issued by the CII.

[Regnum] On September 24, during his speech at the UN General Assembly, Kyiv regime leader Volodymyr "Thanks for dressing up" Zelenskyy unexpectedly issued a sharp criticism of the Taliban.
During his speech, Zelenskyy called for the protection of human rights and the rights of peoples in regions where these rights are under threat, as well as for the implementation of the UN Charter and the Declaration of Human Rights, and then, without any transition, mentioned the situation in Afghanistan.
"The Taliban in Afghanistan have dragged the entire country back into the Middle Ages," the leader of the Kiev regime declared.
Zelenskyy's speech at the UN General Assembly was given to a half-empty hall. Without providing evidence, the Kyiv regime's leader claimed that Russia had allegedly begun conducting "operations" on the territory of European Union countries. He also called on the EU to "assist" the current Moldovan government with funds and energy supplies ahead of the elections. Zelenskyy declared that the EU cannot afford to "lose" Moldova as it had lost Georgia.
[IsraelTimes] Crossing was closed immediately after last week’s attack killed 2 IDF soldiers, but had reopened intermittently; reimposed closure reportedly ordered by Netanyahu
Israel said Tuesday that it would close the Allenby Crossing between Jordan and the West Bank "until further notice," stranding most Paleostinians for whom the gate is their only way out of the territory.
The crossing had originally closed Friday, a day after two Israeli soldiers were killed there in a stabbing and shooting attack by a Jordanian man hired to drive humanitarian aid to 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 a rusty 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... . The crossing has since reopened intermittently but remained closed to Gaza-bound aid.
The Israel Airports Authority, which oversees the crossing, said the entry and exit point will be closed as a result of a directive from the political echelon.
Nazmi Muhanna, head of the Paleostinian Crossing and Borders Authority, told the Paleostinian Authority’s official news agency, Wafa, that Israel informed them the crossing will be closed from tomorrow morning until further notice.
Army Radio reported that security officials received instructions from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to close the border in both directions.
The outlet said it asked the Prime Minister’s Office if the decision to close the border crossing was linked to the wave of international recognitions of a Paleostinian state, but did not receive a response.
Jordan had on Sunday reopened the crossing to pedestrian traffic — not cargo — but Israel abruptly closed the crossing hours later.
The crossing reopened on Monday, but closed again ahead of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year, which began Monday night and will last until Wednesday night. The crossing, which is the West Bank’s only land crossing with Jordan, had been expected to reopen after the holiday.
While it had reopened to passengers, the Allenby Crossing has remained closed to humanitarian aid shipments en route to the Gaza Strip until the investigation into the killing at the border point is completed and the inspection procedures for Jordanian drivers are updated.

They stole an election and put his adherents in jail. They vilified him. They couldn't crucify him, so they shot him. Still, they can't keep him down... promised Arab leaders he would not let Israel annex the occupied West Bank, Politico reported on Wednesday, citing six people familiar with the matter.
Two people described Trump as being firm on the topic during their meeting on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
Two others familiar with the matter, Politico reported, said the US team presented a white paper outlining the Trump administration's plan to end the 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 a rusty 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... war, including the promise against West Bank annexation.
Israel has drawn global condemnation over its military conduct in Gaza, which has caused major destruction and more than 65,000 Paleostinians have been killed, according to local health authorities. A global hunger monitor says part of the territory is suffering from famine.

[IsraelTimes] Despite losses, terror group still managing to pay its fighters and fund social services; US says it’s still receiving $60 million monthly from Iran, illicit businesses
One year after a devastating war with Israel dealt massive blows to Leb ...Formerly inhabited by hardy Phoenecian traders, its official language is now Arabic, with the usual unpleasant side effects.... ’s Hezbollah, the Iran-backed terror group is still managing to pay its fighters and fund its social services.
The killing of its longtime leader His Eminence Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah ...The late, lamented satrap of the Medes and the Persians in Leb...> in an Israeli strike on September 27 last year left the Shiite group reeling, yet it has maintained cohesion under his successor, Naim Qassem ... the Grand Vizier of the Hezbullies... .
Hezbollah began firing missiles into Israel a day after Hamas ..not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,... ’s October 7, 2023, assault on southern Israel that killed some 1,200 people and saw another 251 taken hostage.
Israel stepped up strikes on Hezbollah in September 2024 and sent troops into southern Lebanon the next month, killing much of the group’s top leadership and destroying their bases and infrastructure along the border, before a ceasefire deal was signed.
The badly damaged terror group stayed out of Israel’s war with its main backers Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate JewsZionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol... in June.
As Hezbollah faces mounting pressure to disarm, the United States has also sought to cripple its finances.
US envoy Tom Barrack said Hezbollah has been receiving "$60 million a month" since the November ceasefire.
AFP spoke to several Hezbollah members and beneficiaries of its services, all of whom said the organization was meeting its financial commitments. They requested anonymity given the sensitivity of the subject.
Fighters still receive monthly cash salaries of $500 to $700 — well above Lebanon’s minimum wage of $312.
Families of Hezbollah "deaders" continue to receive stipends covering rent and other essentials, while the group’s vast network of schools, hospitals and charities makes it "one of the largest employers in Lebanon," according to researcher and Hezbollah expert Joseph Daher.
Hezbollah is "definitely under political and economic pressure," Daher said, though it is difficult to assess the depth of the impact.
A Hezbollah source said that since the ceasefire, the group has provided about one billion dollars to 50,000 families affected by the latest war.
AFP could not independently verify the figures.
Unlike after the 2006 war, when Hezbollah spearheaded rebuilding in the south, current leader Qassem has insisted the state should fund post-war reconstruction, which has yet to begin.
Since the formation of a new Western-backed government this year, and Hezbollah’s slip in political dominance, Beirut has tightened scrutiny of the group’s financial dealings.
The December fall of longtime Syrian ally Bashir Pencilneck al-Assad Lord of the Baath... also disrupted supply routes and cash flows from Iran.
Authorities have stepped up monitoring of money entering Lebanon, especially from Iran, and the central bank has banned all dealings with al-Qard al-Hassan, a Hezbollah-linked financial institution.
Israel bombed the firm’s branches during two months of all-out war last year that devastated Hezbollah strongholds across Lebanon’s south, east and in Beirut’s southern suburbs.
A client of the firm, which offers credit in exchange for gold deposits and has been a lifeline to members of Hezbollah’s Shiite Moslem community, said "fear took over" about losing her gold collateral during the crackdown. But she was able to recover it after repaying her loan.
Experts say Hezbollah relies on a web of companies and businessmen, as well as bundles of banknotes flowing in from abroad.
Lebanon suspended flights from Iran in February, cutting off one route.
A security source also reported tighter searches of passengers arriving from Iraq and other countries serving as conduits for Hezbollah.
The United States accuses Hezbollah of raising funds through global businesses, drug trafficking and even "blood diamonds" from Africa.
Western and Gulf states also allege it profits from the captagon drug trade — an accusation the group denies.
"The international community has realized that Hezbollah thrives in a weak, unstable, cash-based economy," Sami Zoughaib, a researcher at the Policy Initiative, a Beirut-based think tank, told AFP.
Cash has been king in Lebanon since the economic collapse began in 2019.
Daher said the group still receives income via companies registered in Iraq and Lebanon, and affiliated businessmen operating elsewhere.
In a report this year, Canada said Hezbollah was thought to be using businesses, cryptocurrencies, bank transfers and charitable funds to receive "outgoing Canadian funds."
According to Daher, the ouster of Assad in neighboring Syria has been "the biggest blow" to the group’s finances so far.
Cash and weapons used to flow easily across the porous Lebanon-Syria border, while Hezbollah also made money from smuggling goods, he said.
Syria’s new Islamist authorities, distrustful of Iran and sharply opposed to Hezbollah, have cracked down on such activities.
[X] Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei ...the very aged actual dictator of Iran, successor to Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini... stated on September 23, 2025, that Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites.

Khamenei's remarks follow Israeli Arclight airstrike ...KABOOM!... s on nuclear sites in June 2025 and the US withdrawal from the 2015 JCPOA in 2018, escalating global tensions over Iran's program.
Iran has begun rebuilding missile-production sites targeted by Israel during its 12-day war in June, satellite images analyzed by The Associated Press show, but a key component is likely still missing — the large mixers needed to produce solid fuel for the weapons.
Reconstituting the missile program is crucial for the Islamic Republic, which believes another round of war with Israel may happen. The missiles are one of Iran’s few military deterrents after the war decimated its air defense systems — something that Tehran long has insisted will never be included in negotiations with the West.
Missile experts told AP that obtaining the mixers is a goal for Tehran, particularly as it prepares for possible United Nations sanctions to be reimposed on the country later this month. The sanctions would penalize any development of the missile program, among other measures. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian is due to address the United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday.
Known as planetary mixers, the machines feature blades that revolve around a central point, like orbiting planets, and offer better mixing action than other types of equipment. Iran could purchase them from China, where experts and US officials say they’ve purchased missile fuel ingredients and other components in the past.
“If they’re able to reacquire some key things like planetary mixers, then that infrastructure is still there and ready to get rolling again,” said Sam Lair, a research associate at the James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies who studied Iranian missile sites.
Iran’s mission to the United Nations did not respond to questions about the country’s efforts to rebuild its missile program.
ISRAELI WAR TARGETED SOLID-FUEL MISSILE SITES
Solid-fuel missiles can be fired faster than those using liquid fuel, which must be loaded just before launch. That speed can make the difference between launching a missile and having it destroyed in a launcher — something that happened during the war with Israel.
Iran has solid-fuel missile manufacturing bases at Khojir and Parchin, two sites just outside Tehran, as well as at Shahroud, some 350 kilometers (215 miles) northeast of the capital. Even before the most recent war, all of those sites came under Israeli attack in October 2024 during hostilities between the countries.
Attacks during the war in June appeared aimed at destroying buildings that housed the mixers, which are needed to ensure the missile fuel is evenly combined, according to experts. Other sites struck by Israel included manufacturing facilities that likely could be used to make the mixers.
Satellite images from Planet Labs PBC taken this month and analyzed by AP show construction at both the Parchin and Shahroud facilities.
At Parchin, mixing buildings appear to be under repair, Lair said, and similar rebuilding is happening at Shahroud involving mixing buildings and other structures.
The speed at which Iran is rebuilding shows the importance Tehran puts on its missile program. Iran’s bombed nuclear sites so far have not seen the same level of activity.
During the war, Iran fired 574 ballistic missiles at Israel, according to the Washington-based Jewish Institute for National Security of America, which has a close relationship with the Israeli military. In two exchanges of fire before the war, Iran launched another 330 missiles, the think tank said.
The Israeli military had estimated Iran’s total arsenal at around 2,500 missiles, meaning that over a third of its missiles were fired.
Before the war, Iran was on track to be able to produce more than 200 solid-fuel missiles a month, said Carl Parkin, a summer fellow at the James Martin Center. That drew Israeli strikes to missile-building facilities.
“Israel’s targeting indicates that they believed mixing was a bottleneck in Iran’s missile production,” he said. “If Iran is able to overcome their mixing limitations, they’ll have all the casting capacity that they need to start producing at high volumes again.”
The Israeli military declined to respond to questions over its strategy.
Israel said it launched the war to set back Iran’s nuclear and missile programs. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that Iran — which routinely vows to destroy Israel — was on track to build 20,000 missiles, something that would constitute an existential threat to Israel.
Iran’s defense minister, Gen. Aziz Nasirzadeh, recently claimed Tehran now has new missiles with more advanced warheads.
“The 12-day war with Israel has altered some of our priorities,” he said on Aug. 22. “We are now focused on producing military equipment with higher precision and greater operational capabilities.”
Chinese mixers seen at Syria missile site affiliated with Iran
Iran may choose to rely on China to obtain mixers and the chemicals to make solid fuel.
Such chemicals may have caused a massive explosion in April that killed at least 70 people at a port in Iran. Iran still has not explained the blast, which happened as its diplomats met with Americans in Oman over its nuclear program.
Just days after the explosion, the US State Department sanctioned Chinese firms it said provided the Islamic Republic with “ballistic missile propellant ingredients.”
Meanwhile, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard likely supplied a planetary mixer to an underground ballistic missile construction facility in Syria near the town of Masyaf, some 170 kilometers (105 miles) north of the capital, Damascus, near the Lebanese border.
Footage released by the Israeli military months after the September 2024 raid on the facility showed the mixer, which bore a resemblance to others sold online by Chinese firms.
Iran’s president and military officials visited Beijing earlier this month for China’s Victory Day parade. Iran’s government has provided no detailed readout on what Pezeshkian said to Chinese President Xi Jinping, and China’s state-run media offered no indications that Tehran asked for help.
The Chinese Foreign Ministry, asked about possibly supplying Tehran mixers and fuel ingredients, told AP that Beijing is “willing to continue leveraging its influence to contribute to peace and stability in the Middle East.”
“China supports Iran in safeguarding its national sovereignty, security and national dignity,” the ministry said. “At the same time, China is deeply concerned about the continued escalation of tensions in the Middle East.”
Can Kasapoğlu, a senior fellow with the Washington-based Hudson Institute, said Beijing could supply guidance systems and microprocessors as well for Iran’s ballistic missiles.
“If Iran uses its relationship with China to bolster its disruptive military capabilities, the 12-day war could be a mere speed bump for the Iranian regime, rather than a decisive defeat,” he wrote.
Lair, the analyst, said if Iran restarts its production at prewar levels, the sheer number of missiles produced will make it harder for the Israelis to preemptively destroy them or shoot them down.
“They are clearly very invested in their missile program, and I don’t think that they’re going to negotiate it away, ever,” he said.

Of course. The Kurds are godless communists. Jolani’s Hayat Tahrir al Sham /Al Nusra are Sunni Arab jihadis commanded to expand the caliphate. All agreements are necessarily hudnas only, with dhimmitude the best option for the conquered who do not convert to their particular interpretation of Islam. In thr meantime, Christian and Alawite Shia villages continue to be wiped out…
