Belgium: Police shoot knife attacker.

(Brussels) Early this morning two policemen on patrol in the centre of Brussels came across a migrant sleeping in a public park. Telling him to move on, the migrant instead pulled out a knife and attacked them injuring one policeman. Unfortunately for the assailant the policemen were armed with hand guns and for his troubles he was shot twice leaving him in a serious condition.

Syria: Damascus Airport targeted by missile strikes.

(Damascus) This evening Damascus International Airport was targeted by a missile strike with, Syrian state media stating (as they always do) that their air defence system shot down some of them. A media group which monitors Syria said the attack targeted an arms depot near the airport where new weapons had recently arrived for the Iranians or Lebanon's Hezbollah group. The monitoring group had no immediate word on casualties, saying the strike did cause material damage.

As this is the age of the mobile phone, numerous clips have been uploaded onto social media showing the Syria air defence system at work. Something the Assad regime loves to promote in which to big up its air defence capability. However that said as always the Syrians still got hit.

This attack comes less than a fortnight after a missile attack targeted Iranian positions in the city of Masyaf

Venezuela: President Maduro to sue his neighbours over their refusal to accept millions of Venezuelans trying to escape..Venezuela.

(Caracas)  Of late Venezuela has found itself in something of a pickle. You see after years of Socialism, the country is falling apart at the seams. Crime is up, prices are up, jobs are down as is the supply of food, water and electricity.  Not only that but because people are suffering, they have started to complain we had the mass protests on the streets last year, which saw over 165 people killed, over 16000 injured and nearly 5000 arrested. In order to remain in power , people who complain are arrested and charged with treason , which is what happened to fireman Ricardo Prieto

who knocked out a skit on social media where he referred to President Nicolas Maduro, faster than the rise of the nations currency Ricardo found himself arrested for dissent.

So acute is the cash flow in Venezuela, this past week El Presidento jetted off to China in which to secure a $5 billion loan off of China which the canny Chinese have tied to the supply of oil at very favourable rates. This is on top of the $50 billion China has already loaned Caracas and yet there is nothing to show for it.

Anyway former bus driver Maduro has been looking at other ways in which to fund his socialist economic policy and he has decided that he is going to sue the neighbours. First of all he is going to sue Columbia for how Colombians fleeing the violence  that plagued the country for years settled in Venezuela. However it appears he hasn't thought this one out, as it was proven the other year that Venezuela under Hugo Chavez not only funded and gave sanctuary to the FARC rebels  and supplied them with weapons , he got them to murder his political opponents 

Then there is the issue of all the countries which border Venezuela who have been holding back and vetting the entry of people out of the country into theirs.. (Also includes Columbia)  which is why this week, Venezuelan Communications Minister Jorge Rodriguez said “elites” in Colombia, Ecuador and Perú were luring Venezuelans there with false promises and then paying them slave wages.

 “If we have to ask for compensation from the governments of Colombia, Ecuador and Perú, we’re going to demand it"

The irony here is, after failure after failure, the socialists in the West refuse to accept that socialism doesn't work.

Belgium: Government cuts support for Palestinian schools due to support for terrorism.

(Brussels) In a further financial blow to Palestinians, Belgium has cut its funding for supporting Palestinian schools after they objected to the naming of a school they funded to that of Dalal Mughrabi a female terrorist who led a raid into Israel in 1978 which saw 38 people murdered and another 72 injured.

Not impressed with the name change Brussels told the Palestinians to change the name back, they didn't and in reply they changed the names of another 2 schools. Realizing that the Palestinians were acting like petulant children, Brussels decided to treat them as such, and cut their entire Palestinian educational funding to the PA.

US: Questions raised how on 9/11, teacher has class read: "My Name is Osama," about a bullied Iraqi in America.

(Vernon) In New Jersey parents of children enrolled at Vernon Township High School are demanding answers to how on the morning of September the 11^th. A teacher decided to have her students read a shirt story tilted  "My Name is Osama," it tells  a made-up account of an Iraqi immigrant boy named Osama who faces taunts of "terrorist" in school by several students who tell him his mother, who wears a hijab, has "a bag on her head." After pushing back against his tormentors, the boy is suspended from school for fighting.

Exactly what is it about liberals and their penchant to rewrite history in which to make the victims into the wrongdoers?  For the current generation of children they know very little about what transpired on 9/11, or even who Osma Bin laden was, But for some children at Vernon they know they were taught on the 11th September this year, that a Muslim boy called Osma was bullied by Americans,

France: Man arrested after car driven into crowd outside bar.

Interlude:Electric Dreams: The Duel

Here's a track from the 1984 film 'Electric Dreams which i feel never got the credit it deserved:

India: 8 terrorists taken out by Indian forces

(Kashmir)  Indian security forces took out 8 Islamic terrorists  all of whom were Paksitani who tried to sneak into India in which to try and wage unholy jihad.

Three were killed near the Line of control (LoC) in Keran sector in Kupwara district that borders Pakistan. Two Jaish-e-Muhammad (JeM) terrorists were shot dead in Sopore town and three died in a 33-hour fighting in Reasi district.

Germany: 17 year old Turkish German arrested on charges of plotting to blow up a Gay club and a church.

(Frankfurt)  German police revealed Thursday evening that they have arrested and taken in custody 17 year old Yusuf Erkocoglu a German of Turkish extraction. Apparently Yusuf was in the process of blowing up a gay bar in Frankfurt (Something tells me the police have got confused about the word blow here) and a church (Which in light of the recent revelations regards Catholic priests)  fits in perfectly with how Yusuf wanted to blow somebody in a gay bar.

The United States Ambassador to Germany, Richard Grenell has revealed that the US played a big part in getting this wannabe terrorist off the streets.

Sweden: Deportation order agaisnt Palestinian who firebombed a synagogue removed as he might face danger if returned to the West Bank,

(Stockholm)  Last December a few Middle eastern citizens unhappy at finding a jewish synagogue in the area decided to teach those pesky Jews a lesson by firing bombing it.

Which is why this May three Palestinians found themselves in court, on charges of carrying out a hate crime. (well it is Sweden after all)  Two of them received 2 years in prison, with the third 2 months and an air ticket home with a remit of being denied entry to Sweden for 10 years. Well to the ethical latte brigade that was a step too far and so they appealed on their point of view that this poor innocent lamb would face danger from the Israeli state if returned to his home country. Well yesterday the court of appeal ruled in their favour and cancelled the deportation order and the Ethical latte drinkers in Sweden wonder why people have flocked to the far right.

Afghanistan: Suicide bomber targets protest agaisnt police: 68 killed, and 165 injured.

(Jalalabad) A load of Afghans not happy with the local police chief in the east of Afghanistan decided yesterday to block the main road from Pakistan to the district capital in which to get him to step down.

Unfortunately for them, somebody decided to target the protest with a suicide bomb with the resulting blast killing 68 people and injuring 165. As of yet nobody has claimed responsibility. 

Spain: Socialist Government back peddles over arns sales to Saudi Arabia.

(Madrid) The fledgling socialist government of Spain is finding out the hardway that being in power isn't the same as being in opposition. Since the new Government was sworn in this June, the Socialists set about opening up the country to African migrants (Including removing barbed wire from the border fence) offering them benefits, free medical treatment and of course a Spanish passport. However after Spain became the country of course for virtually all of Africa, with migrants actually attacking the Police in which to set foot in Spain, the Socialist government has had to backtrack on its open door policy and is now saying it will deport illegals back to Africa.  

Elsewhere they decided that selling laser guided bombs to Saudi Arabia is wrong and so last week they informed Riyadh that the sale of 400 bombs was off the table and that they would be returning the $10.7 million the Saudis had handed over in 2015. The problem here is that arms sales was part of a $2.5 billion arms deal which included the supply of 5 warships. So naturally the Saudis said fine, we, will take our business elsewhere and what do you know. The socialists have stated, sorry you misunderstood us, the bombs are still for sale. with the Defence Minister Margarita Robles now saying:

"We are two partner countries that have signed a contract"

It appears that contrary to popular belief, socialists do love money after all. 

9/11 — Never Forget

Italy: Government tells UN Human rights chief to take a running jump

(Rome) Responding to Michelle Bachelet, the United Nations' new human rights chief, who stated in her maiden speech she will be sending a team to Italy (and Austria) in which to check up on reports of the rise in racism that Migrants are facing in country:

 “Italy’s decision to close its sea ports, denying entry to NGO rescue ships, had serious consequences on the most vulnerable. Even though we are seeing a big drop in the numbers of coming from Libya over the past 12 months, the numbers of those who died during the crossing is higher in the first six months of 2018 than it was.”

The Italian Interior Minister and Deputy Premier Matteo Salvini replied on Monday that Italy will not accept any lessons from the UMN:

    "Over the last few years, Italy has received 700,000 immigrants, many of whom were illegal, and it never received any cooperation from other European countries  . So we don't take lessons from anyone, least of all the UN, which has again proved itself to be biased, pointlessly costly and badly informed. The police deny reports that is a racism emergency. Before doing checks on Italy, the UN should investigate its member States who ignore basic rights like freedom and equality between men and women"

France: Lyon airport closed down after man sent by Allah cashes barrier and races around runway.

(Lyon) A man smashed his car through security barriers at Lyon, airport in France, he then ploughed through the glass doors of the terminal and sped onto the runway, before being arrested.

In scenes captured on amateur video, the car was seen hitting a bump, then going airborne and landing in a cloud of dust at Lyon's international Saint-Exupery airport.

The driver then jumped out while the vehicle was still rolling and sprinted off on foot, pursued by a police van where he was caught and arrested. That little shindig of his led to 80 flights been cancelled or diverted.

The Lyon Prosecutor's office have reported that the driver is a 31-years-old French citizen and previously known to police.  With Lyon prosecutor Marc Cimamonti adding:

"He reportedly said 'I am sent by Allah,' but I don't have complete confirmation of that,"

Syria: Turkey ready to deploy 50000 troops to Idlib

(Ankara)  As Syria and Russia continue to soften up rebel hard points in the last large area of Syria occupied by Jihadists by the use of air and artillery strikes prior to an expected land offensive.

The rest of the world is screaming out...

"Think of the children"

With the UN claiming that this could herald the worst humanitarian disaster of the 21st century

Above is the google map of the area in question, below is a map of the state of play 

Map from Middleeasterneye

In a nutshell most of the rebel groups who were allowed to coach out of areas they had lost to the Syrians these past few years relocated to Idlib and now that the Syrians have them all in one place, they have decided to rid Syria and the world of a lot of Jihad loving thugs. Don't get me wrong, I have no time for the Syrian regime, but the current thugs caught like fish in a barrel are no angels either and I for one will not be shedding any tears for those who wanted to carve out a new caliphate by the use of the use of the bullet, bomb,knife and a lot of Allah ackbas.

Turkey which was party to last week's summit in Tehran between Russia, Iran on the fate of Syria's Idlib province, is in a strange position, as under the pocket dictator it is trying to re-imagine itself as the Ottoman Empire, which explains why it has spent a lot of money,time and effort in supporting the jihadists inside Syria, and now it looks (at face value) to be supporting the Shia enemy agaisnt the rebels it has supported for so long.  Which is why it has just been reported in Turkey by the pro Government Yeni Safak, that Ankara has relocated 30,000 of its own troops on the border with Syria and reinforced its positions there with concrete walls and bullet proof watchtowers . It has also instructed over 50,000 Turkish backed Free Syrian Army (FSA) fighters stationed in Afrin, Azaz, Jarabulus, al-Bab and al-Rai to “be ready for military deployment.”

Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan has been reported as saying on Tuesday (11/09/18)  That a Syrian government offensive in Idlib would cause humanitarian and security risks for Turkey, Europe and beyond . Calling on the international community to take action on Idlib,  and warned that “the entire world stands to pay the price” otherwise. which points in the direction he may be ready to go up agaisnt the Syrians and Russians and wants the West to be in his corner.

But to further complicate matters the BBC Syria Producer Riam Dalat is reporting that the FSA has said that members of the Syrian opposition, possibly from Free Syrian Army (FSA) in the country’s Eastern Ghouta region say they are ready to attack Turkey should the country turn its back on them

You have to admit, that the plot of Games of Thrones has nothing on the Levant.

Iraq; Iranian consulate burnt down, Mullahs complain that Iraqis aren't doing enough to protect their diplomatic centres.

(Basra) This past week has seen violent protests erupt around the southern Iraqi city of Basra , you name it, there's a protest: Bad water..protest, lack of jobs,,protest, lack of support from central government..protest, After several death and over 60 injured a curfew was placed on the city. But one protest has stuck out and that is how the Iraqi people have protested regards their perceived belief that Iran dabbles too much with Iraqi politics, in fact so strong is this belief, the locals in Basra burnt down the Iranian consulate

Naturally the Iranians aren't happy about how a load of protesters haven't recognised the sanctity of a diplomatic mission and after invading Iranian sovereign territory (As all diplomatic mission around the world are deemed to be) ransacking it, they set fire to it. Oh dear the irony appears to be lost on the Iranians who have no problem looking the otherway when mobs ransack foreign embassies back in Tehran :
US Embassy: 1979
Kuwaiti and Saudi Arabian embassies ; 1987
Danish Embassy: 2006
Pakistani Embassy: 2009
British Embassy: 2011
Saudi Missions in Iran : 2016

Tennis, Serena Williams and that Hissy fit.

(US) Over the weekend  Serena Williams lost a tennis match and boy did she complain. She's played the abuse card, how she can only be a victim and how this is all about that male privilege. The media have gone overboard on what a victim she is. But for some strange they omit the fact that she not only smashed her tennis racket after losing a point, she was getting coached from the sidelines by her coach, an act he has admitted to and which she denied. Which is why this cartoon by Mark Knight regards the incident gets my stamp of approval for saying it, as it is.

Naturally the easily offended have rated the above depiction of said hissy fit as...racist. who would have guessed?
