Greta Thunberg, other activists set sail to Gaza on Freedom Flotilla ship |
2025-06-02 |
[IsraelTimes] Climate campaigner Greta Thunberg and other activists set sail from Sicily to Gaza on a ship aimed at protesting Israel’s war in the territory. The trip is organized by the Freedom Flotilla …a project of Turkey’s IHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation, a semi-official "charity" branch of the Erdogan government that links the government, the Turkish branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, and pet jihadi groups like ISIS in Syria, or in this case Hamas. IHH puts together a Freedom Flotilla every few years, hoping for publicity like the Mavi Mara incident from the first one in 2010. coalition, which for more than a decade has sent ships to the coastal enclave in declared opposition to Israeli blockades there.Rima Hassan, a European Parliament member taking part in the new trip, said Friday the operation had “several aims: to condemn the humanitarian blockade and ongoing genocide, the impunity granted to the state of Israel and raise international awareness.” Another Freedom Flotilla ship was blocked in Turkey in April after Guinea-Bisseau withdrew its flag, and the vessel was later struck by armed drones, according to its organizers. In May 2010, another, much-remembered “Gaza Freedom Flotilla” organized by the same coalition was intercepted by the Israeli Navy. After the convoy refused orders to reroute to Ashdod, Israeli commandos boarded one of the ships, the Mavi Marmara, which was carrying over 600 passengers. After being met with violent resistance, the commandos opened fire, killing 10 Turkish activists. Ten Israeli soldiers were wounded during the attack.

ISIS landmine kills three Kurdish-led security forces in Rojava |
2025-06-02 |
[Rudaw] At least three internal security forces (Asayish) members of northeast Syria (Rojava) were killed in a suspected Islamic State![]() Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... (ISIS) landmine while patrolling on the Raqqa-Hasaka road, the Asayish said on Sunday, amid an escalation of ISIS attacks. "A landmine detonated on the patrol vehicle, killing three of our members while they were performing their duty to protect the road and secure the movement of civilians. Another member was maimed and is currently receiving medical care," the Asayish said in a statement. The attack, which took place at 9 am on the Raqqa-Hasaka road, took place as the Kurdish-led force was patrolling the area to curb the increase in ISIS attacks. "This terrorist act comes amid the escalating activity of ISIS in various areas of north and east Syria, particularly around al-Hol and some rural areas of Raqqa and Hasaka, where recent attacks and infiltrations have targeted the stability and security of civilians," the Asayish warned. It said that combing operations are underway to track down the perpetrators of the attack and explosive experts are searching the area for a suspected second landmine. On Friday, an operation led by the Women’s Protection Units (YPJ) in the eastern Deir ez-Zor province led to the arrest of ten ISIS members. The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), the de facto army of Rojava, has carried out numerous operations this year to counter what they say is a resurgence in ISIS activity targeting both their forces and civilians. On Monday, the SDF said it thwarted a "treacherous and indiscriminate" attack by ISIS murderous Moslems in Deir ez-Zor, a week after another ISIS attack killed one SDF member and injured another. ISIS and its so-called "caliphate" was territorially defeated in 2019, but the group has recently sought to regain ground, taking advantage of instability in Syria following the fall of Bashir Pencilneckal-Assad Horror of Homs... ’s regime. The SDF, backed by the United States, has fought to prevent the murderous Moslems from reestablishing a foothold in the shifting security landscape. |

More than 800 Iraqis leave Rojava’s al-Hol camp |
2025-06-01 |
[Rudaw] More than 800 Iraqis left al-Hol in northeast Syria (Rojava) on Saturday as Baghdad continues to repatriate its nationals from the camp for suspected Islamic State![]() Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... (ISIS) family members and supporters, according to a Kurdish official. About 10,000 Iraqis remain in the camp after the group of 832 people left on Saturday, Sheikhmous Ahmed, who oversees all internally displaced persons (IDP) and refugee camps in Rojava, told Rudaw. Thousands of individuals with suspected ISIS ties are being held in al-Hol and Roj camps, which are controlled by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), in Rojava’s Hasaka province. al-Hol is the larger of the two camps. As of April, it housed 34,927 people. Of these, 15,681 were Iraqis, 15,861 were Syrians, and 6,385 were foreigners, according to data obtained by Rudaw English from Ahmed. Iraq has repatriated its nationals in groups, bringing them to al-Jada camp south of djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... where they go through a rehabilitation program before reintegrating into the community. The repatriation of people affiliated with ISIS is a contentious issue in Iraq, given the heinous human rights ...which are usually open to widely divergent definitions... violations and war crimes the group committed when it controlled territory in the north and west from 2014 through 2017. While some tribes and communities have expressed willingness to integrate individuals linked to the group, others argue that reintegration should be limited to family members, particularly those who were not directly involved in severe crimes. Baghdad has set a goal of repatriating all Iraqi citizens from camps in Rojava by 2027. The SDF has agreed to hand control of the camp over to the interim Syrian government, which plans to focus on rehabilitation of camp residents. |

Recent release by Sen. @ChuckGrassley suggests systemic violations of Brady by FBI. | |
2025-05-31 | |
2/ But according to FBI Wash. Field Office EC sent to SC Office on 9/18/19, Sentinel system includes "invisible files" that can't just not read, but that you don't even know exist-files identified as "Prohibited Access" files, NOT to be confused w/ Restricted Access files. 3/ Here's how EC explained "Prohibited Access" files, versus Restricted Access. According to this FBI Agent, then, when you search Sentinel for various terms, if the files are coded "Prohibited Access," search will show NO responsive documents. Image 4/ In contrast, when things are coded "Restricted Access," a search will show hits but the FBI agent without the proper clearance/authority cannot view the document. 5/ Washington Field Office FBI agent's EC noted that May 30, 2019 (day after SC Mueller resigned), SC's office provided FBI agent Bruce Ohr's redacted FD-302s but asked for unredacted versions which were in "Prohibited Access" holdings. Image 6/ EC adds SC Team said most "but not all" documents "had been migrated from Prohibited status to Restricted Access status, . . ." SIGNIFICANTLY, though, "investigators would (and do) remain incapable of identifying potentially relevant serials" in "Prohibited Access" status. Image 7/ That paragraph CONFIRMS two different systems, with Restricted Access you can't view document but you know it exists, while Prohibited Access, you don't even know there is a document--it is invisible. 8/ This paragraph confirms the point: The Washington Field Office agent can tell there are 70 documents in the Restricted Access system that include the search term "Berkowitz," but cannot know how many more are in "Prohibited Access" because the Sentinel system will not show any "hits" if the documents are in Prohibited Access.Image 9/ So while everyone is focusing on Nellie Ohr, her alleged lies to Congress, and the burying of the case against her--did Post SC Mueller's office ever provide the documents--the scandal here is MUCH BIGGER!! 10/ FBI's maintenance of "Prohibited Access" files that DO NOT SHOW UP IN SEARCH REQUESTS in Sentinel means agents pulling Brady material to comply WITH THE CONSTITUTION, will not even know there are potentially exculpatory materials they should be providing. 11/ Then there's civil cases (think FBI's role in the Censorship Industrial Complex!!!), FOIA cases, and Congressional Investigations! The files are INVISIBLE and won't appear in the search. 12/ This isn't me saying that...it is an FBI agent saying that in an EC sent to the Post Special Counsel's Office AND THAT EC WAS APPROVED BY THREE SUPERVISORS! Image 13/ Was this why Special Counsel Smith didn't turn over material to Trump in the electors' case? Because the documents were invisible in a Sentinel search? Image 14/ This scandal is no longer about Trump or the corruption of the Russia-collusion hoax investigators--it calls into question the way the FBI handles documents that it is legally and sometimes constitutionally required to turn over, via FOIA, Congressional investigation, Brady, 15/ criminal and civil procedure. Questions for @FBIDirectorKash Does the FBI currently use the "prohibited access" designation to make documents invisible in Sentinel? How does FBI comply with FOIA/Brady/Civil Discovery/Congressional Investigations then? @FBIDirectorKash 16/16 Did Durham & the IG search for "Prohibited Access" documents? Why note? Did Post Special Counsel Mueller ever provide the Washington Field office the documents related to Nellie Ohr & search Prohibited Access? @FBIDirectorKash 17/ Here is how the DOJ's IG describes "Prohibited Access." Grassley seems to be making it easy for Patel.... | |

ISIS claims first attack on Syrian government forces since Assad’s fall |
2025-05-31 |
[IsraelTimes] Terror group says bomb targeted ‘vehicle of the apostate regime’ in southern province Sweida last week, leaving 7 soldiers dead or wounded; also hit US-backed Free Syrian Army The Islamic State ![]() Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group has grabbed credit for two attacks in southern Syria, including one on government forces that an opposition war monitor described as the first on the Syrian army to be carried out by the jihadists since the fall of Bashir Pencilneckal-Assad Before going into the family business Pencilneck was an eye doctor. If he'd stuck with it he'd have had a good practice by now... ’s regime in December. In two separate statements issued late Thursday, ISIS said that in the first attack, a bomb exploded targeting a "vehicle of the apostate regime," leaving seven soldiers dead or maimed. It said the attack occurred "last Thursday," or May 22, in the al-Safa area in the desert of the southern province of Sweida, a Druze-majority area that borders Jordan. ISIS said that the second attack occurred this week in a nearby area during which a bomb targeted members of the US-backed Free Syrian Army ... the more palatable version of the Syrian insurgency, heavily influenced by the Moslem Brüderbund... , claiming that it killed one fighter and maimed three. There was no comment from the government on the claim of the attack and a spokesperson for the Free Syrian Army didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment by The News Agency that Dare Not be Named. The Britannia-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, of unclear funding, said that the attack on government forces killed one civilian and maimed three soldiers, describing it as the first such attack to be claimed by ISIS against Syrian forces since the fall of the 54-year Assad family’s rule. The man killed was accompanying the Syrian government forces in the desert area, according to the Observatory. Islamic State, which once controlled large parts of Syria and Iraq, is opposed to the new authority in Damascus led by President Ahmad al-Sharaa, who was once the head of al-Qaeda’s branch in Syria and fought battles against ISIS. Over the past several months, ISIS has grabbed credit for attacks against the US-backed and Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces in the northeast. ISIS was defeated in Syria in March 2019 when SDF fighters captured the last sliver of land that the turbans controlled. Since then, its sleeper cells have carried out deadly attacks, mainly in eastern and northeast Syria. In January, state media reported that intelligence officials in Syria’s post-Assad government thwarted a plan by ISIS to set off a bomb at a Shiite Moslem shrine south of Damascus. This week, Syrian authorities said they arrested members of an Islamic State cell near Damascus, accusing them of preparing attacks. Another government operation in the northern city of Aleppo this month saw the death of one security forces officer and three ISIS members. During a meeting with al-Sharaa in Riyadh this month, US President Donald Trump ...The tack in the backside of the Democratic Party... called on him to help the US prevent the resurgence of ISIS, according to the White House. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt also said in a statement after the meeting that Trump urged Sharaa to diplomatically recognize Israel and "tell all foreign hard boyz to leave Syria." Trump also said that Washington would work on lifting crippling economic sanctions imposed on Damascus since the days of Assad, and the US has begun to roll them back. On Thursday, the long-shuttered US ambassador’s residence in Damascus was re-opened, and US Ambassador to ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire... Tom Barrack — who has been appointed special envoy to Syria — proposed a "non-aggression agreement" between Israel and Syria. Rooters reported earlier this week that Israel and Syria are in direct contact and have, in recent weeks, held face-to-face meetings aimed at calming tensions and preventing conflict in the border region. |

Scientists warn of magnetic storm that lasts more than 17 hours |
2025-05-31 |
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] A magnetic storm was registered on Earth on the night of May 29 and has been going on without interruption for 17 hours. This was announced bySolar Astronomy Laboratory of IKI and ISISP RAS. ![]() “Unfortunately, despite the fact that there were several decreases in activity during the day, and despite the associated expectations of global stabilization of the situation, in fact, the magnetic storm that began today at 3 a.m. Moscow time has not been interrupted once and continues without stopping at the moment,” the publication notes. "If your magnetic storm lasts more than 15 hours, see a Doctor" Experts specified that as of 20:20 Moscow time on May 29, the storm had lasted for more than 17 hours in a row, reaching G3 (strong storm). It is noted that there is no trend towards a decrease in the storm's intensity, but at the moment the indicators are holding around the average level. Earlier, Regnum News Agency reported that a strong magnetic storm of a level close to G3 began on Earth on the morning of Thursday, May 29. The storm was registered against the background of a noticeable increase in geomagnetic activity, which became known the day before after the formation of new large coronal holes in the Sun's atmosphere. Scientists have clarified that the Earth will remain in a zone of increased solar wind speed until the end of this week, and during this time the risks of storms and geomagnetic disturbances will be increased. |

Somalia: U.S. Airstrike Targets Al-Shabaab Militants Near Kismayo |
2025-05-30 |
[ShbelleMedia] The United States Africa Command (AFRICOM), in coordination with the Federal Government of Somalia, carried out an airstrike targeting Al-Shabaab militants approximately 40 kilometers northwest of the southern port city of Kismayo, officials said Wednesday. The strike forms part of ongoing joint efforts to degrade the operational capacity of Al-Shabaab, a group affiliated with Al-Qaeda, which continues to pose a threat to Somali civilians, national security forces, and international partners. In a statement, the Somali government expressed its appreciation for AFRICOM’s support and reaffirmed its commitment to eliminating the insurgent group. Authorities emphasized the importance of continued collaboration with both the Somali public and international allies to ensure lasting peace and stability in the country. No civilian casualties were reported in the operation, according to initial assessments. The U.S. supports Somali forces and a multinational African Union force with drone strikes, intelligence, and training of the SNA’s elite Danab forces based in Beleddogle airfield.

Somalia: Puntland Forces Kill ISIS Fighters in Targeted Operation in Cal Miskaad Mountains |

[ShabelleMedia] 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 security forces have killed several fighters from the Islamic State ![]() Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... (IS) affiliate in Somalia during a planned military operation in the rugged Cal Miskaad mountain range, officials said on Thursday. The operation, which took place in the remote areas of Xal and Walinsoor, targeted hideouts believed to be used by IS murderous Moslems. The offensive resulted in the death of several holy warriors, according to military sources. "Our forces conducted a successful operation in the Cal Miskaad mountains and eliminated members of the ISIS [IS] group who had been hiding in fortified positions," said a Puntland security official who spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the matter. During the raid, troops also destroyed food supplies, logistical materials, and other equipment stored in underground bunkers allegedly used by the group. Photos released by Puntland’s security command showed burnt-out storage caches and seized weapons. Local residents reported hearing heavy gunfire and explosions during the early hours of the operation. Security officials said the area has been under surveillance for weeks after intelligence reports confirmed murderous Moslem presence. Puntland, a semi-autonomous region in northeastern Somalia, has been battling IS fighters who have entrenched themselves in the mountainous terrain near the Gulf of Aden. The group, a breakaway faction from al-Shabaab ... the personification of Somali state failure... , has faced increasing military pressure in recent years. "This is part of a broader strategy to clear terrorist groups from our territory," the official added, stressing that further operations are planned in the coming days. The Islamic State’s Somalia branch remains relatively small compared to al-Shabaab but poses a persistent threat, particularly in the northern Bari region, where the group has occasionally grabbed credit for attacks. There was no immediate comment from the ISIS group regarding the latest military action.

Russian Defense Minister warns of over 20 radical groups with 15,000 fighters in Afghanistan |
2025-05-30 |
[KhaamaPress] Russian Defense Minister warns over 20 radical groups with 15,000 fighters in Afghanistan threaten Central Asia’s security and stability. Russian Defense Minister Andrey Belousov on Wednesday, 28, has warned that Afghanistan hosts more than 20 radical groups with over 15,000 fighters, posing a serious threat to Central Asia’s security. Speaking at a meeting of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) defense ministers, Belousov emphasized the ongoing danger these groups represent. He specifically highlighted that radical groups in Afghanistan constitute the primary terrorist threat to Central Asian states. Belousov cautioned that these Death Eaters could infiltrate neighboring countries and beyond, exacerbating regional instability. Although he did not name specific groups, he mentioned imported muscle from the Middle East joining armed factions in Afghanistan. Belousov further accused Western powers of attempting to impose a strategic defeat on Russia and applying pressure on CSTO member states. He described the military-political situation in CSTO-controlled regions as tense, with escalating challenges faced by member countries. In line with these efforts, CSTO Secretary-General Imangali Tasmagambetov announced plans to begin military equipment shipments to reinforce the Tajikistan-Afghanistan border starting in 2026. This multi-year program aims to bolster border defenses in three stages over five years. Russia has also supported joint military exercises in Tajikistan since the Taliban ![]() ’s return to power in August 2021. President Vladimir Putin ...President-for-Life of Russia. He gets along well with other presidents for life.

Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to him. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substances... underscored the importance of regional security in a meeting with Tajik President Emomali Rahmon, stating that threats emanating from Afghanistan require Russia’s active engagement to protect Central Asian neighbors. The CSTO, comprising Russia, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan, has expressed concern over groups like ISIS and radical movements operating in Afghanistan. To address these threats, CSTO members have strengthened security cooperation and maintained close relations with the Taliban to manage border and security risks. |
