| Spain: Street Battles Between Migrants and Natives After Elderly Man Allegedly Beaten by Moroccan Youths |
| 2025-07-13 |
| [Breitbart] Open combat between native Spaniards and migrant groups broke out over the past two evenings in the Torre-Pacheco municipality following a group of young Moroccan males allegedly beating an elderly man in the area. Roaming bands of migrants clashed with nationalist anti-mass migration groups in the Murcian municipality of Torre-Pacheco on Friday and Saturday evening, in what has been described as a “spiral of violence” by the local La Verdad newspaper. According to the paper, various “ultra” right-wing groups organised anti-migration demonstrations on Friday after an attack on an elderly man allegedly at the hands of a group of young Moroccan migrants earlier that day. Tensions broke out after they came in contact with large groups of mostly North African migrants, sparking outright street battles. There have been claims that the nationalists had organised “hunts” for migrants believed to be involved in the attack; however, there have yet to be any arrests for such activity. Additionally, there have also been claims made on social media of migrants allegedly attacking natives with weapons. Dozens of police officers were deployed in the municipality to end the conflict, and several officers suffered injuries, including some who were seriously wounded. Government minister Sira Rego, of the communist United Left party, decried the “racist persecution” of immigrants, saying: “The far right and the right point the finger and their thugs act.” The president of the residents’ association of Roldán, the largest district in the municipality, Antonio José Martínez, condemned the violence. Still, rather than attributing it to the “far-right”, he blamed a “weariness over the incessant crime rate of the last ten or fifteen years.” Martínez said that crime in the area has been “increasing and increasing” and that the “unrest is difficult to contain, and that’s why the people rebel.” He warned that if the government fails to address the crime issue in the area, then “worse things” than the recent riots are on the horizon. The leader of the populist VOX party in Murcia, José Ángel Antelo, recalled that last year, VOX quit the local coalition government with the supposedly centre-right People’s Party (PP) over its agreement with the Socialist Party (PSOE) to distribute illegal immigrants into the region. “VOX left the government a year ago due to the distribution of illegals. And we proved we were right,” Antelo said. “We will not be complicit in the imported violence promoted and tolerated by PP and PSOE. It’s time to restore peace and security in our neighbourhoods!” Earlier this week, VOX vowed that if elected nationally, the party would work to deport eight million people from the country, including second-generation migrants “who have not adapted to our customs and who in many cases have also been involved in scenes of insecurity will have to return to their countries.” |

| Former UN inspector: Satellite images seem to show all 3 tunnel entrances at Isfahan nuke site still blocked |
| 2025-07-13 |
| [IsraelTimes] David Albright, a former UN nuclear inspector, says that satellite imagery from Wednesday appears to show that all three tunnel entrances at the Isfahan nuclear site in Iran remain blocked after Israeli and US strikes last month. “Many believe that at least some of the enriched uranium stocks are held inside this tunnel complex, but any such stocks appear to remain inaccessible,” writes the head of the Institute for Science and International Security, in a post on X. “To access these stocks, the Iranians would have to dig through and clear about 20 meters of rubble or backfill to reach any of the tunnel entrances and begin excavation or repair activities,” he says. Albright says that the images show no earth-moving equipment near a tunnel entrance. A senior Israeli official said Thursday that Israeli intelligence shows that Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium had not been removed from Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan before the three nuclear sites were struck by the US last month amid Israel’s 12-day war with Iran, and has not been moved since. The official suggested, however, that the Iranians might still be able to gain access to the enriched uranium at Isfahan but that it would be very difficult to remove it.
… to dig through and clear about 20 meters of rubble or backfill to reach any of the tunnel entrances and begin excavation or repair activities. The July 9 image shows no earth moving equipment or other heavy machinery present at any tunnel entrance. However, it appears that roadblocks were established on the street leading to the southernmost tunnel entrance. Of note, there are no visible activities within the main complex housing the now destroyed uranium conversion facilities and uranium metal production plant. To gain access to the complex, Iran will first need to conduct a survey using drones or radiological HAZMAT teams to assess the danger of the site and distribution of radiological and chemical material dispersed by the bombings. Debris and rubble will then need to be removed before any repair or rebuild activities commence. This is a lengthy and complicated process that will take the Iranians some time to complete. Iran may also be holding off on any such activities as they are easily spotted via overhead imagery as a reconstitution effort, which may be met with further Israeli or American attacks. At Natanz, as of July 8, the only operations we've observed have been at the penetration hole above the buried enrichment hall caused by the GBU-57 MOP. The hole has been filled in and a cap has been placed over it. Analysis by: @DAVIDHALBRIGHT1 , @SarahBurkhard , @SFnuclear , and the Good ISIS Team.

The ADF is a Ugandan Islamist group that operates on both sides of the mostly non-existent border. All the victims, including women, were killed with machetes, says the president of a local civil society, Marcel Paluku. The number of people taken hostage is unknown. The attack is suspected to be in response to an escalating bombing campaign by joint Congolese and Ugandan forces that started on Sunday.

| Uganda’s Army Chief Accuses U.S. of Secret Talks with Al-Shabaab |
| 2025-07-13 |
| [ShabelleMedia] Uganda’s army chief, General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, has accused the United States of secretly negotiating with Somalia-based jihadist group al-Shabaab ... Somalia's version of the Taliban, functioning as an arm of al-Qaeda... , which he described as a persistent threat to peace and stability in the Horn of Africa. In a message posted on social media, Gen. Muhoozi questioned the logic of Uganda continuing its 18-year military involvement in Somalia while, according to him, Washington engages in backdoor talks with the same Death Eater group linked to al-Qaeda. He did not provide any evidence to support his claim. "Why are we still fighting in Somalia when our ally, the United States, is allegedly holding secret talks with al-Shabaab?" Muhoozi wrote. "Uganda has lost many soldiers in the effort to restore peace to Somalia." The comments come as Uganda remains one of the key contributors to the African Union ...a union consisting of 53 African states, most run by dictators of one flavor or another. The only all-African state not in the AU is Morocco.

Uganda was the first country to deploy troops to Somalia under the AU mission in 2007 and continues to hold a major share of the peacekeeping forces, securing key government installations in Mogadishu. The transition to the new AUSSOM mission faces growing uncertainty due to funding shortfalls after the United States and European donors declined to continue financial support — a move that could threaten the mission’s viability. |

| California: The State of Sleeper Cells |
| 2025-07-13 |
| [Townhall] In recent days, a chilling warning came from one of America’s top counterterrorism experts: Iranian sleeper cells may already be embedded inside the United States—hiding in plain sight, waiting to strike. With tensions climbing after the president’s strike on Iran’s nuclear capabilities, that warning has taken on new urgency. The threat isn’t hypothetical. It’s now a likely reality. And while most states are coordinating with federal law enforcement, tightening security, and staying alert, Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, has done the unthinkable: It’s opted out. California is the only state in the Union that has withdrawn entirely from the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force—the primary engine for federal, state, and local cooperation in detecting and disrupting terrorism. And they did it proudly, in the name of "civil liberties." Let’s be blunt: the FBI’s JTTFs have disrupted plots targeting New York, Boston, and cities across the country. They are essential to homeland security. Pulling out of that network—especially now—is the domestic equivalent of turning off radar at Pearl Harbor. Add to that the fact that California is also a sanctuary state, where local officials are barred from cooperating with ICE or federal immigration authorities. That means someone could cross the border illegally, find refuge in Los Angeles or the Socialist paradise of San Francisco  ...where God struck dead Anton LaVey, home of the Sydney Ducks, ruled by Vigilance Committee from 1859 through 1867, reliably and volubly Democrat since 1964..., and never be flagged—no matter how suspicious they may be. Now layer in this: In the last several months, over 700 Iranian nationals—designated as "special interest aliens"—have crossed our southern border illegally. They’re subject to enhanced vetting for good reason: 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 spontaneouslytaking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militiasto extend the regime's influence. The word Iranis a cognate form of Aryan.The abbreviation IRGCis the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA).The term Supreme Guideis a the modern version form of either Duceor Führeror maybe both. They hate has publicly stated that it may activate foreign agents in response to U.S. military action. These are not idle threats. These are strategic assets being put in place. Let’s remember San Bernardino. In 2015, two radicalized individuals opened fire in a California office building, killing 14 and wounding 22 more. They were American residents. They were radicalized online. And they executed their attack without ever triggering alarm bells—because back then, the systems weren’t integrated enough. Now, California has gone even further backward. It has intentionally severed those alarm systems. And here’s the national threat: If a terrorist cell can establish itself in California—where oversight is limited and federal cooperation is absent—then they are only one plane ride away from New York, Washington, D.C., Atlanta, reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown ...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel... , or any other high-value target in the country. California’s refusal to act responsibly doesn’t just endanger Californians. It endangers all of us. By withdrawing from the Joint Terrorism Task Force, California has handed those blind spots to America’s enemies on a silver platter. Supporters of the move will argue it’s about protecting civil rights. But the Constitution was never meant to be a suicide pact. Security and liberty are not opposites—they’re partners. And without security, liberty becomes a memory. Iran has already activated its cyber units. It has already coordinated with proxies like Hezbollah to threaten U.S. and Israeli interests worldwide. Tehran doesn't need to smuggle operatives in via shipping containers—they walk across our border, disappear into sanctuary cities, and remain in the dark, thanks to California’s political theater. We are not just at risk. We are exposed.

| US to reduce troop levels in Syria as fight against ISIS winds down | |
| 2025-07-13 | |
| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] The United States of America will reduce its troop contingent in Syria as it fights ISIS (a terrorist organization banned in Russia). This was announced on July 12 by the US President's Special Representative for Syria, Thomas Barrack.  "We have a military presence in this region (Syria - Ed.), and we maintain it. As we fight terrorism, we will make decisions to reduce the number of these troops over time," Hyrriet quotes him as saying.Barrack stressed that the United States does not aim to maintain a permanent troop presence in the region. He added that the number of military contingents would be reduced if an independent government was created in Syria.
It is noted that US President Donald Trump was skeptical about maintaining any number of American troops in the country. In December, the head of the White House said that the people of Syria would have to cope with the crisis that had broken out in the country on their own, without help from the United States or France. He said that he refused to participate in supporting this country. The Pentagon said in February that it was developing a plan to completely withdraw all U.S. troops from Syria in 30, 60 or 90 days. In April, the U.S. military department confirmed that it would reduce the number of American troops in Syria in the coming months. | |

Before that it was temper tantrums over DOGE by buffoons rioting. Democrats and those feeding off government contracts and absurd waste of OUR money crapping their pants as. the massive amount of fraud, waste and abuse by just about every federal agency, constitutional or otherwise, was laid out for the American people to see how they’ve been fleeced over the decades. Oh, don’t think for a second it was only members of the Democrat/Communist Party USA now getting their money faucet turned off. Just where have all those "smaller government conservative" incumbent Republicans been the past few years (or decades) and their "oversight" committees? President Trump campaigned on a transparent government, no more foreign wars, job growth and common sense among other goals. Expose all the cover-ups: Who really killed President Kennedy and who planned it? Hold those responsible for their crimes unless the statute of limitations saves them. The phony Russian Dossier [2]; did pedophile Jeffrey Epstein really commit suicide and did he work for the CIA or FBI under their "black box" operations, the January 6th cover-up? So many lies. So many cover-ups, blackmail (Oh yeah), two attempts on Trump’s life and now yet another from the human garbage they call the Khomeini over in Iran. That waste of human skin has ramped it up since we obliterated their underground nuclear energy facilities and labs putting out a Fatwa on Trump. Millions of Americans are getting angry none of the promised release of documents (other than what’s already been reported years ago) has been forthcoming. Too much declassified has been blacked out, page after page after page. Not good. One attack on our own has pretty much become just another forgotten "incident" while the guilty walk free and get rich. Specifically, career criminal, Hildebeast Clinton. It pays to have friends in high places with lots of money. Not forgotten OUR dead and wounded, their families and friends: Benghazi. Our U.S. Ambassador, Christopher Stevens, who was always a friend of the Libyan people wasn’t just murdered, his dead body was dragged through the streets by illiterate mobs. When the free political ads (committee hearings), finally got around to Hildebeast Clinton testifying, can we remember that cockroach’s infamous comment?

| Baghdad says ‘unacceptable’ for KRG to blame drone attacks on PMF |
| 2025-07-06 |
| [Rudaw] The Iraqi government on Saturday said it was "unacceptable" for Erbil to accuse the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF, or Hashd al-Shaabi) of being complicit in a string of drone attacks in the Kurdistan Region. "The accusation issued by the Ministry of Interior in the Kurdistan Regional Government [KRG] against an official Iraqi security institution is unacceptable, condemned, and impermissible under any pretext, especially since it was issued in the absence of evidence," the prime minister’s spokesperson Sabah al-Numan said in a statement. On Friday, the KRG’s Interior Ministry blamed the PMF for recent drone attacks that it said were carried out "with the intention of creating chaos." It called on Baghdad to bring the perpetrators to account. Baghdad said that such accusations risk undermining the country’s stability and instead urged "cooperation and coordination through official channels." Multiple explosive-laden drones have crashed or been downed in the Kurdistan Region since a US-brokered ceasefire between Iran ...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites.
