Muammar Gaddafi’s Cousin to Sue Hillary Clinton for ‘Destroying Libya’

 

The political official of the Libyan National Struggle Front, Ahmed Gaddaf al-Dam, began on Monday, the first steps to sue former U.S. presidential candidate Hillary Clinton on charges of spreading destruction and supporting terrorism in Libya.

 

The cousin of the late Libyan president, Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, said in an exclusive interview with Sputnik that he had assigned his legal team to sue the former U.S. Secretary of State.

 

Gaddaf al-Dam added that he provided the legal team with other documents not released by the U.S. State Department to prosecute Hillary Clinton on charges of spreading destruction and supporting terrorism in Libya.

 

No further details were released and it is not clear where the lawsuit will be filed.

 

Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State under U.S. President Barack Obama, when NATO interviewed in the Libyan Civil War in 2011.

 

Under heavy bombardment by NATO, Libyan President Muammar Gaddafi was forced to abandon Tripoli and take refuge near the city of Sirte, where he was later captured by anti-government forces and subsequently killed by his captors in 2011.

Army Wants to Spot-Promote Officers Moved Into Hard-to-Fill Jobs

 

As part of the upcoming round of the Army's new officer assignment system, a select group of officers could get promoted early if chosen for typically hard-to-fill jobs across the service.

 

Known as brevet, or spot, promotions, Congress granted the Army this authority to move lower-ranking officers into critical unit positions as part of the Fiscal 2019 National Defense Authorization Act.

 

The Army has identified 770 authorized positions that would ideally be filled by 120 captains, 350 majors, 200 lieutenant colonels and 100 colonels, but could go to lower-ranking officers who are qualified for the position, said Col. Michael Kuzara, the Employ team lead for the Army Talent Management Task Force. He spoke at the Association of the United States Army's annual meeting during a briefing on the next round of the Army Talent Alignment Process (ATAP) scheduled to begin on Thursday.

 

About 16,000 officers are expected to participate in this latest round of ATAP, a regulated, online market designed to better match an officer's talents to a unit's requirements. About 1,000 of the officers in the round had their assignments delayed because of the Pentagon's stop move policy to limit the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.

 

The brevet program selects officers for temporary promotion to serve at the next higher rank in a critical job, entitling those officers to receive the pay and benefits of the higher ranks, Army officials said.

 

"This is a recognition of how we value that lower-ranking people are filling these positions and deserve to be compensated for filling that hard-to-fill position," Lt. Col. Kari McEwin, spokeswoman for the Talent Management Task Force, told Military.com. "The jobs might be in a location that is typically not desirable for people to go, or a position where there are not enough officers in grade to go around."

 

There could be a major's position available that's typically not open to captains, McEwin said.

 

"That unit could select the captain over the major if the captain has the characteristics that the unit is looking for," she said.

 

Currently, there are 335 critical positions that have been identified by units for brevet authorizations. About 100 of those positions will be available in this upcoming ATAP cycle, Kuzara said.

 

In addition to the 335 spots identified, another 254 possible brevet positions are available for commanders to make nominations for those positions to be filled outside of ATAP, McEwin said.

Judge Sentences Suspected Serial Killer Robert Gross

 

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – A Kansas City, Missouri, man was sentenced in federal court today for illegally possessing firearms, including purchasing firearms advertised on the internet, and of stalking two female victims associated with massage parlors in Kansas.

 

Gross is suspected in the killings of several women, including two who worked in the massage business, but he has never been charged in a homicide.

 

“This armed and dangerous criminal, with a history of stalking and violence toward women, will spend the rest of his life in prison,” said U.S. Attorney Tim Garrison.

 

Robert J. Gross, 69, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Gary A. Fenner to 35 years in federal prison without parole.

 

On May 15, 2019, Gross was found guilty at trial of two counts of stalking victims across state lines, three counts of being a felon in possession of a firearm, and three counts of receiving a firearm while under indictment.

 

Gross was under investigation in 2017 for destroying property and harassing and stalking four women associated with massage parlors in Kansas, which led to him being placed under surveillance by law enforcement. While under surveillance in December 2017, Gross purchased handcuffs and other items from a surplus store, visited a gun show twice, and purchased two shotguns from a private seller advertising on the internet.

 

In October 2017, Gross visited the Tea Spa Massage in Lawrence, Kan., where he was asked to leave by the employee. Gross took all of his clothes off and walked around the business completely naked, harassing and threatening the employee. The video and audio surveillance show Gross grabbing and groping the employee, who eventually fled the store and flagged down a passing man for assistance in getting Gross out of the business. Gross got dressed and left the business.

 

Law enforcement investigators began surveillance of Gross after these incidents.

Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews' office vandalised

 

Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews' office is this morning a crime scene after it was vandalised overnight.

 

The words "Sack Dan" have been scrawled across the window of Mr Andrews' parliamentary office on Princes Highway in Noble Park, in the city's south.

 

A brick can be seen lying on the ground, which appears to have been used in an attempt to smash the window.

 

The glass is damaged on the front of the building.

 

Police are now on scene and are expected to begin looking through CCTV.

 

The premier is due to announce changes to Melbourne's strict lockdown restrictions on Sunday, but has indicated he probably won't follow the planned roadmap.

 

The city's 5km rule also remains in place.

Wisconsin Tavern Assoc. Sue Governor for Defying Supreme Court Order on Lockdowns

 

 

Last May, the Wisconsin Supreme Court struck down the governor’s lockdown restrictions because he had exceeded his authority. They ordered him to go through the legislature to fashion pandemic policies.

 

But Evers decided he didn’t have to obey.

 

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:

 

The Joint Committee for Review of Administrative Rules on Monday voted 6-4 on party lines to require the Evers administration to submit such rules within 30 days. The Republicans could then block the rules, getting rid of the limits as soon as Nov. 11.

 

But Evers said Tuesday in a media briefing he would not do so because he contends the order is legal as it stands. His chief legal counsel said the committee vote was a “pointless exercise to make a political point.”

 

The latest controversy erupted when Evers issued draconian limits for bars and restaurants to reopen. If followed, thousands of small establishments would likely go under.

 

So the Wisconsin Tavern Association sued the governor for not getting the approval of the rules committee to make such a drastic requirement.

 

The order requires bars and restaurants to operate at 25 percent capacity. Small tavern owners who have no official seating capacity are limited to allowing 10 people at a time into their businesses. Clearly, everyone would be losing money and many would go under.

 

The suit includes Flambeau Forest Inn as a plaintiff:

 

“If Flambeau were forced to operate at a 10-person capacity, it could only include five customers onsite with the five staff normally required to operate the bar and restaurant,” according to the lawsuit.

 

“This would be approximately 5% of Flambeau’s normal seating capacity. Flambeau could not operate profitably under these conditions and would be forced to discontinue its business operations.”

 

First, Evers should follow the law. Worrying about the partisan nature of the rules committee is immaterial to what the Supreme Court of Wisconsin has ruled.

 

Secondly, at what point does “protecting” people actually do more damage than the coronavirus? We are six months into Lockdown America and despite trillions of dollars given by Congress to individuals and businesses, the lockdowns continue and are even made more severe.

 

No one knows how permanent the damage done by these policies will be. It’s a certainty that small businesses in America will never be the same. For political party that decries Darwinian capitalism as inhumane, that’s what they’re forcing on us with these policies. It’s “survival of the fittest” and the rest can go hang.

 

Kristine Hellmer, president and CEO of the Wisconsin Restaurant Association, said last week the order could lead to half of the state’s restaurants to close.

 

“Before this order, 37% of restaurants were indicating they would be going out of business without any further federal dollars – and those restaurants were, for the most part at 50% or more capacity,” she said. “Dropping their capacity to 25% is devastating and they cannot hold on much longer.”

 

Evers believes that the legislature should legalize drinks to-go as a way that tavern owners can survive. That would defeat the entire purpose of these tiny neighborhood watering holes, which is to create a comfortable space for friends to gather.

 

There’s no evidence that Wisconsin’s current spike in infections and deaths is due to people going to bars and restaurants. Some are pointing to the reopening of colleges for the increase. Regardless, it’s not likely that limiting capacity in a way that will cripple the tavern industry will help bring down the infection rate.

Bankrupt Restaurant Chains Hand Their Keys To The Lenders

 

Last week, California Pizza Kitchen canceled its auction after no worthy bidders came forward to buy the casual-dining chain. The result: The company will likely end up in the hands of its lenders. That came the same week that Ruby Tuesday started its bankruptcy process with a plan that hands the keys to the chain to its lenders.

 

Such deals are far from uncommon and totally understandable. But it’s indicative of the state of the business that once-venerable chains can’t even scrounge up bidders to help fuel bankruptcy auctions.

 

Indeed, several companies that have filed for bankruptcy since the pandemic have ended up sold in credit bids. CraftWorks, the owner of Logan’s Roadhouse and Old Chicago that declared bankruptcy before the pandemic, was sold through a credit bid in May. Aurify Brands acquired both Le Pain Quotidien and Mayson Kaiser by first acquiring the debt for the two brands and then using that to take over the company.

 

To get an idea of why this is happening now, we asked Petition, a journalist who covers corporate bankruptcies and restructuring, to get an idea of what’s going on.

 

“With too many restaurants per capita pre-pandemic and uncertainty about COVID-19 heading into winter, strategic buyers are scurrying to their foxholes to avoid the shakeout,” they said. “Existing lenders have no choice but to play out their option, hoping that less competition, strong digital adoption and execution, a slimmer balance sheet, a reduced footprint and focused management will bridge them to an industry comeback.”

 

To be sure, the companies above occupy some of the most challenging sectors or subsectors during the pandemic.

 

Both Le Pain Quotidien and Maison Kayser, for instance, are bakery-cafe concepts in urban areas. Those types of concepts face an uncertain future thanks to empty offices as consumers work from home, along with a potential flight of residents toward the suburbs.

 

Ruby Tuesday has been struggling and shrinking for more than a decade. It has closed nearly half of its units since 2017 and is less than a third of the size it was back in 2008. Bar and grill casual dining itself faces significant questions—TGI Fridays, once the leading casual-dining chain, is also shrinking.

 

California Pizza Kitchen is another casual-dining chain. But it was built around pizza. Consumers have shifted much of their pizza consumption to delivery, leaving full-service pizza concepts behind.

 

Buyers simply aren’t ready to take the plunge on those types of concepts. The business for dine-in sales is weak. It is also expected to remain weak for some time. That leaves the companies with little choice but to hand the keys to the lenders and walk away.

 

Any buyer of such chains will want that company reduced to only the most profitable locations. And they’re going to want that company for a considerably smaller price than the face value of the secured debt.

 

A lot of investors live to buy concepts through credit bids. They buy the secured debt on the secondary market, often for considerably discounted prices—lenders, believing they’ll be unlikely to get their money back and eager to get an unworkable loan off the books, will sometimes sell the debt at a discount.

 

Investors step in and buy the debt cheap. That can give them the inside track when a company ends up in bankruptcy. If a buyer willing to pay the face value of the debt emerges during an auction, the investor can make money based on the discount they paid for that debt. If not, they get the chain and can run it until the situation improves.

 

But such sales can often prolong the life of a chain that wouldn’t survive on its own, extending the life of “zombie” chains that aren’t growing and aren’t innovating and simply exist. The pandemic, of course, is creating zombies in all sorts of industries. Restaurant chains included.

CDC STUDY: MOST COVID-19 CASES WERE ADMITTED MASK WEARERS

 

A new study released by The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has released the findings of a new study, in which the overwhelming number of new coronavirus cases came from people who religiously wear masks. The study, which was released in September and ignored by mainstream media and politicians found that masks are ineffective at the prevention of viral infections.

 

Read the entire study here.

 

The study, which was conducted in the United States in July found that when the CDC compared 154 “case-patients,” who tested positive for COVID-19, to a control group of 160 participants from the same health care facility who were symptomatic but tested negative, over 70 percent of the case-patients were contaminated with the virus and fell ill despite “always” wearing a mask.

 

In the 14 days before illness onset, 71% of case-patients and 74% of control participants reported always using cloth face coverings or other mask types when in public,” the report stated.

 

In addition, over 14 percent of the case-patients said they “often” wore a face covering and were still infected with the virus. The study also demonstrates that under 4 percent of the case-patients became sick with the virus even though they “never” wore a mask or face covering.

 

Despite over 70 percent of the case-patient participants’ efforts to follow CDC recommendations by committing to always wearing face coverings at “gatherings with ≤10 or >10 persons in a home; shopping; dining at a restaurant; going to an office setting, salon, gym, bar/coffee shop, or church/religious gathering; or using public transportation,” they still contracted the virus. –The Federalist

 

This more than proves that face masks are ineffective at stopping COVID-19, so why does the CDC still recommend them? Is there something more sinister going on? That’s up to you to decide, but I would personally say it is more than a possibility.

ATF Suspends Attempt to Resurrect Obama-Era AR-15 Pistol Ban

 

Second Amendment groups urge admin to fully rescind order that could turn legal gun owners into felons

 

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives has delayed a local field office's attempt to resurrect an Obama-era rule that threatens to turn millions of legal gun owners into criminals.

 

On Wednesday, the agency informed New Hampshire gun company Q LLC that it will not enforce a cease-and-desist order issued by its Boston branch. The Department of Justice is now reviewing the field office's decision to label an AR-15 featuring a specialized arm brace illegal.

 

"The purpose of this suspension is to allow the United States Department of Justice to further review the applicability of the National Firearms Act to the manufacture and transfer of the model ‘Honey Badger Pistol' firearm," ATF chief counsel Joel Roessner said in a letter. The move gave the gun company and owners of such weapons—which have been legal since 2012—a 60-day reprieve.

 

Gun-rights activists have been pressing the White House to rein in the agency since the Boston order became public. The controversy emerged three months before Election Day and could alienate a key Republican ally in the 2020 election. The National Rifle Association, which has pledged to spend millions on President Donald Trump's reelection, said the suspension does not go far enough.

 

"The ATF’s letter is a weak attempt to placate gun owners and does not resolve this issue," NRA spokeswoman Amy Hunter told the Washington Free Beacon. "The NRA will continue to fight to get a speedy and fair resolution from DOJ on this important matter."

 

Some gun-rights activists are now threatening to sue the federal government if the proposed ban is not completely revoked. Adam Kraut, director of legal strategy at the Firearms Policy Coalition, accused "rogue elements" at the ATF of trying to implement an "anti-gun owner agenda." He asked President Trump to fire or reassign the agents and lawyers involved in the cease-and-desist letter.

 

"I strongly suggest the reassignment of all offending rogue officers, attorneys, agents, and/or employees to areas of the Agency where they may not run wild with personal or prior administration’s agendas," Kraut said in a letter sent to the White House and Justice Department.

 

The ATF, its Boston field division, and the White House did not respond to requests for comment.

Traders Puzzled By "Mysterious Mega Flows" In Biggest Tech ETF

 

Three weeks ago, when looking at the latest EPFR fund flows we said that traders are getting whiplash after the "fastest ever fund flows swing from euphoria to despair" as US equity funds and ETFs reported $26.87 BN of outflows in the last week of September, the we observed the largest weekly outflow since December 2018 and the third largest outflow ever, more than reversing a $22.67bn inflow one week earlier; this was the third the biggest weekly swing in fund flows in history, and showed "how extreme market sentiment has become, and how it can seemingly swing overnight from euphoria to despair."

 

We also showed that similar, if even more acute swings, were observed in the QQQs the world's largest tech ETF which tracks the Nasdaq, saying that "the QQQ fund posted record $3.5 billion outflows on Monday amid a Nasdaq slump, then got $4 billion the following day as sentiment recovered."

 

In retrospect, this was not a bug but a feature, because today Bloomberg follows up on these wild swings, which have only gotten wilder since, and writes more than two weeks after our original observations that the "amount of cash cycling through one of the world’s largest exchange-traded funds is turning heads across Wall Street."

 

According to Bloomberg's calculations, the$146BN QQQ ETF, the largest tech ETF in the world, has seen a staggering $1.5 billion in daily flows (either in or out) over the past month, following the previously discussed largest withdrawal in two decades in late September, followed by its largest influx in the same time period one day later. The ETF saw $3 billion of inflows the following week, ahead of a $3 billion exit the next day. This week brought another $3.7 billion inflow in a single day.

 

The startling spike in the size of flows is clearly visible in the chart below, where the new "regime" is highlighted in yellow…

Migrants Raft Across Texas Border River in Daylight

 

During the first week of October, Breitbart Texas cameras returned to Roma, Texas, to see how human smuggling changed since Fiscal Year 2019, when almost a million migrants were apprehended crossing the border between ports of entry. At this time, they sought out law enforcement–not make efforts to elude them.

 

The most significant shift in human smuggling occurred as a result of national policy changes from the Trump Administration in implementing the Migration Protection Protocols (MPP Program).

 

The MPP allows for foreign individuals entering or seeking admission to the U.S. – illegally or without proper documentation – to be returned to Mexico and wait for the duration of their immigration proceedings.

 

Border Patrol agents told Breitbart Texas that people crossing illegally today are mostly Mexican citizens, as opposed to the overwhelming number of Central Americans seen in FY2019. During the visit, Breitbart Texas cameras captured many illegal crossings between the ports of entry from the Roma Bluffs.

 

CBP agents were observed working closely together from the Office of Field Operations (OFO) and Border Patrol between the ports of entry, going from one part of Roma to the other especially during the morning hours of a shift change. It was obvious that human smuggling organizations in Mexico are aware when CBP personnel turnover because those periods were the busiest in terms of river traffic.

 

In 3 hours, Breitbart Texas documented 16 separate smuggling incidents. Rafts could be seen ferrying people to what is known as the Small Island — an international point in the middle of the river.

 

From there, some would walk the final, shallow stretch but others could be seen ferried via small rafts to U.S. soil. This area is called Salinas Crossing.

 

Within minutes, the smugglers would be observed walking back to the island and getting more people to cross. This went on for several morning until halting that afternoon.

 

The map indicates smuggling activity spots.
