1…………> Torture Central: Ogaden, Somalia

Inmates at a notorious prison in Ethiopia’s Somali region have been arbitrarily detained and tortured for years, a major human rights group said in a report released Thursday from its offices in the Kenyan capital.

Human Rights Watch (HRW) said it has documented a “brutal and relentless pattern of abuse, torture, rape and humiliation with little access to medical care, family, lawyers, or even at times to food” and implicates prison security forces, including the region’s notorious Liyu police.

“Most prisoners are accused of some affiliation with the Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF), a banned opposition group, but most never face charges or trials,” said HRW.

“I was kept in solitary confinement in complete darkness for most of my [three years in] detention. I was only taken out at night for torture. They [prison officials] did many things to me – they electrocuted my testicles, they tied wire around them, and they put a plastic bag with chili powder over my head. I often had a gag tied in my mouth so I wouldn’t scream too much,” said one of the hundreds of torture victims who was a prisoner and spoke to HRW. (Anadolu)

2…………> Oil Choke-Hold: Hormuz

 

Ismail Kuthari, the vice-commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps, threatened to block the passage of oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz if the U.S. attempted to degrade his country’s ability to export oil, as his deputy Qasem Soleimani, commander of the RGC’s elite Quds Force said he was “ready to carry out any orders”. 

Meanwhile U.S. Navy and regional allies “stand ready to ensure the freedom of navigation and the free flow of commerce wherever international law allows”, Captain Bill Urban, a spokesman for the U.S. military’s Central Command stated. (Anadolu)

 

 

 

 

3…………> Ayatolin May’s Stupidity: Novichok Blame

 

“Following the detailed analysis of these samples, we can confirm that the man and woman have been exposed to the nerve agent Novichok, which has been identified as the same nerve agent that contaminated both Yulia and Sergei Skripal,” the Islamic May’sdom of Britain’s counter-terrorism head Neil Basu said in a statement.

“We are not in a position to say whether the nerve agent was from the same batch that the Skripals were exposed to. The possibility that these two investigations might be linked is clearly a line of inquiry for us,” he added.

“These two patients are in critical condition following exposure to the nerve agent Novichok,” England’s Chief Medical Officer Sally Davies said. “As the country’s chief medical officer, I want to reassure the public that the risk to the general public remains low.”

The British anti-terror police chief emphasized the priority for the investigation team was to establish how these two people had come into contact with the nerve agent. He added any baseless assumptions should be avoided; i.e. the righteous Muslim PM Ayatolyn May should not start blaming Russia about this attack, and perhaps take a look in her own backyard full of IS assassins ready to kill “kafirs” at any cost.

1…………> A Terrorist Denaturalized: Ahmed

“The United States will use every available law enforcement tool to combat terrorism,” said Acting Associate Attorney General Jesse Panuccio.

“Those who are naturalized in the United States swear to support and defend our Constitution and laws against all enemies. Those who have actively supported terrorism and concealed that fact cannot take that oath in good faith and should not have the benefit of continued citizenship. Civil denaturalization is thus one important tool in our anti-terrorism efforts. We will continue to zealously seek out and prosecute individuals like Mr. Ahmed.”

Khaleel Ahmed, 37, a native of India, was convicted pursuant to a guilty plea in 2009 of providing material support to terrorists through his efforts to travel abroad in order to murder or maim U.S. military forces in Iraq or Afghanistan, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2339A. As admitted in his criminal proceedings, between 2004 and 2007, Ahmed and his cousin, Zubair Ahmed, made preparations to travel abroad, and did, in fact, travel to Cairo, Egypt, with the intent of engaging in acts that would result in the murder or maiming of U.S. military forces. Upon returning from Cairo, the cousins discussed, sought, and received instruction on the use of firearms, including sniper rifles, and in counter-surveillance techniques. They also collected and distributed videos of attacks on U.S. military forces overseas, manuals on military tactics, and military manuals on weaponry. In 2009, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio accepted the cousins’ guilty pleas, and in 2010 sentenced Khaleel Ahmed to eight years and four months in prison and three years of supervised release.

2…………> Mt. Agung Erupts: Again

Mount Agung, one of two active volcanoes on Bali, has sent a plume of thick ash some 6,000 feet into the air with lava cascading from its summit. Indonesian authorities said the explosions were “thunderous.”

3…………> Munich Film Festival: “Das Boot”

Germany’s second-largest film festival is exploding with great movies, starting with “Happy as Lazzaro”,  Lucrecia Martel’s movie ‘Zama’, and most importantly the TV series including a “Das Boot” sequel of Wolfgang Petersen movie drama about the life aboard a U-boat during the closing days of WW2.

Munich is a film festival that fills the vacuum left from the usual American blockbuster movies, as it relies on films from countries whose cinematic works are otherwise hard to find in everyday program life.

4…………> Inspector Novichok Strikes Again: UK

Here we go again with the gruesome fantasy of square-jawed, steel blue-eyed  Russian GRU hitmen lurking in the UK for their next victims, as a man and woman are found unconscious in Wiltshire poisoned by Novichok,  the same nerve agent that poisoned ex-Russian spy Sergei Skripal, according to the latest police report.


The couple, identified as Charlie Rowley and Dawn Sturgess, is in a critical condition having been found unconscious at a house on Saturday.

Police say no one else has presented with the same symptoms.

There was “nothing in their background” to suggest the pair were targeted, the Met Police said.

There are two possible explanations for this outrage:

1. The government of President Putin has descended into an outright, old-fashioned thuggery intended to bring horror to the citizens of a nuclear-armed country, which is highly unlikely considering the long tradition of the Soviet secret police to hit its enemies stealthily and deadly, a practice introduced by its founding father Felix Edmundovitch Dzerginsky in the 1930’s murders of dissidents.

2. Or an even worst alternative, a terrorist or an Islamo-Fascist mule-head with access to nearby Porton Down biological and chemical warfare facility has laid his hands on the deadly pathogen, and it is using it to settle a score with Russia by trying to kill UK citizens and then blame it on Putin.

In any case, the person involved better be dressed in a tank embedded in a submarine, because when MI5 or FSB get their long fingers on him, he will need every bit of scripture money can buy.

1…………> “Wine & Rosses”: Trump’s Tax Cuts

6 Months After President Trump’s Tax Cuts, the Real Celebration Is for America’s Workers 

President Donald J. Trump, speaking in Blue Ash, Ohio 

 
 
Your paychecks are going way up. Your taxes are going way down. And right now, for the first time in a long time—and you’ve seen it—factories are coming back. 

Six months ago today, President Trump signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act into law—the first major overhaul of the U.S. tax code since Ronald Reagan’s presidency.

The law made three important changes to help workers and small businesses. First, it cut how much money the government takes out of Americans’ paychecks. It nearly doubled the standard deduction, doubled the child tax credit, protected tax savings for college and retirement, and lower rates across the board. 

Second, it put American employers on a level playing field with foreign competitors. The U.S. business tax rate went from being the highest in the developed world to falling below the average for advanced economies. 

Third, the law eliminated dozens of special interest tax breaks and loopholes, raising $4 trillion in revenue to help offset tax cuts by closing the door on dozens of corporate accounting tricks. 

This boost in paychecks in part explains the renewed sense of optimism in America’s heartland, part of our country that had taken the brunt of 21st-century economic pains. The President heard these stories firsthand when he visited White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, in April: 

Not a lot of people know it, but for the average West Virginian, two kids, it’s $1,966 more in their pocket . . . The average mortgage in West Virginia is $600. You divide 600 into 1,900, and you find out that, thanks to President Trump, President Trump paid the mortgage payment for three months of the average West Virginian. 

In addition to relief for working families, tax reform is essential to restoring America’s economic dominance. The results can be seen in our Nation’s business environment, as American companies start investing once again: 

When profits go up, capital investment goes up, and wages follow. That’s the reason we estimated, based on what has happened around the world, that households will get an average $4,000 wage increase from corporate tax reform.

2…………> Support Police: Trump 

President Donald J. Trump Stands with the Victims of Illegal Alien Crime 

It’s time to support our police, to protect our families, and to save American lives. 

President Donald J. Trump 

SUPPORTING ANGEL FAMILIES: President Donald J. Trump is hearing firsthand from the American families who have lost loved ones to illegal alien crime. 

President Donald J. Trump is meeting with “Angel families,” who have lost loved ones to illegal alien crime. 

The Trump Administration created the Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement (VOICE) Office in order to support the victims and families affected by illegal alien crime. 

 
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement launched the VOICE Office in April 2017, following an Executive Order by the President calling for its creation. 

The VOICE Office operates a hotline to connect victims with social services and, when possible, assist them in obtaining immigration information regarding the offender. 

The VOICE Office has released a new report that includes case studies explaining how they were able to assist victims who contacted them. 

A 2011 Government Accountability Office report found nearly 3 million offences tied to criminal aliens, including: 

o More than 25,000 homicide offences. 

o More than 42,000 robbery offences. 

o Nearly 70,000 sex crime offences. 

o Nearly 15,000 kidnapping offences. 

· In Texas alone, more than 250,000 criminal aliens have been arrested and charged with over 600,000 criminal offences within the last seven years. 

· In the fiscal year 2017, more than 8,000 criminal illegal aliens in police custody were released back into our communities as a result of sanctuary policies.

3…………> Efficient, Responsive Government: Trump 

President Donald J. Trump Is Reforming the Federal Government, Making it More Efficient, Effective, and Accountable.

Billions and billions of dollars are being wasted on activities that are not delivering results for hardworking American taxpayers. 

REORGANIZING GOVERNMENT: President Donald J. Trump’s reform and reorganization plan will make the Federal Government more responsive and accountable to the American people.

· Last year, President Trump signed an Executive Order directing the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to work on a comprehensive plan to reorganize the Executive Branch. 

· After a year of planning how to make the Federal Government more efficient, effective, and accountable – which included input from stakeholders, agencies, and the public – key reform proposals were developed, such as: 

o Consolidating food safety functions into a single agency, addressing the current fragmented Federal oversight of food safety. 

o Merging the Departments of Education and Labor into a single Cabinet agency to better meet the needs of American workers and students. 

o Consolidating economic assistance resources to a new Bureau of Economic Growth within the Department of Commerce to increase economic growth nationwide. 

· This plan will serve as a cornerstone for a productive, bipartisan dialogue around making the Federal Government work for the 21st century. 

· Instead of a “one size fits all” approach to reform, the Trump Administration’s plan to reorganize the Government proposes solutions tailored to each agency’s mission.

4…………> Brooming Out Obama’s Trash: Sessions 

Attorney General Jeff Sessions Rescinds 24 Guidance Documents 

Attorney General Jeff Sessions today announced that consistent with his November 2017 memorandum prohibiting the Department from making rules without following the procedures required by Congress, he is rescinding 24 guidance documents that were unnecessary, outdated, inconsistent with existing law, or otherwise improper. 

“The American people deserve to have their voices heard and a government that is accountable to them. When issuing regulations, federal agencies must abide by constitutional principles and follow the rules set forth by Congress and the President. In previous administrations, however, agencies often tried to impose new rules on the American people without any public notice or comment period, simply by sending a letter or posting a guidance document on a website. That’s wrong, and it’s not good government. 

“In the Trump administration, we are restoring the rule of law. That’s why in November I banned this practice at the Department and we began rescinding guidance documents that were issued improperly or that were simply inconsistent with current law. 

“Today we are rescinding 24 more and continuing to put an end to unnecessary or improper rulemaking.” 

In February 2017, President Donald Trump issued Executive Order 13777, which calls for agencies to establish Regulatory Reform Task Forces, chaired by a Regulatory Reform Officer, to identify existing regulations for potential repeal, replacement, or modification. The Department of Justice Task Force is chaired by Acting Associate Attorney General Jesse Panuccio.

5…………> NSA Snooping: Trump 

President Donald Trump on Tuesday slammed as a “disgrace” the National Security Agency (NSA) violation of Americans’ privacy through an unauthorized collection of phone data. 


“Wow! The NSA has deleted 685 million phone calls and text messages. Privacy violations? They blame technical irregularities,” Trump said in a tweet. “Such a disgrace. The Witch Hunt continues!” 

The NSA announced last month that it will delete improperly collected phone calls and text message data that have been collected since 2015. (Anadolu Agency)
