Permanent withdrawal or rotation? Another batch of US military vehicles exit Syria

BEIRUT, LEBANON (10:00 P.M.) – For the third time this week, a U.S. military convoy has exited Syrian territory for neighboring Iraq, amid reports of a U.S. reduction in forces around the Arab Republic.

According to a field report on Friday, a U.S. military convoy, consisting of 30 trucks, was seen crossing from Syria’s Al-Hasakah Governorate to neighboring Iraq’s Nineveh Governorate.

The report said the trucks consisted of logistical equipment and U.S. soldiers that were being transferred to Iraq for either troop rotation or permanent withdrawal.

Earlier this week, at least two U.S. military convoys, consisting of dozens of transport vehicles, were seen crossing into Iraq from the Al-Walid Crossing in eastern Al-Hasakah.

As pointed out above, it is not clear whether or not these withdrawals are merely troop rotations or permanent withdrawals; however, a source in the Al-Hasakah Governorate said that they have not seen any new forces inside the northeastern part of the country.

First US troops withdraw from Iraq since Trump replaced US Defense Secretary

BEIRUT, LEBANON (8:40 P.M.) – The spokesman for the Iraqi Joint Operations Command, Major General Tahsin Al-Khafaji, announced on Friday, the withdrawal of the first batch of U.S. forces from Iraq, according to the agreement with Washington.

Al-Khafaji said in a statement to Russia’s Sputnik Agency that the American forces in Iraq are not combat units, adding: “We only have those who meet the support for air strikes to target ISIS remnants, and logistical and advisory.”

“Today, the American forces began to withdraw and the number is 500, who were announced in accordance with the agreement between Baghdad and Washington recently,” he said.

The spokesperson for the Iraqi Joint Operations Command noted that the “withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq will take place within a very short period, according to a schedule between Iraq and the United States, and according to specific timings.”

Iraqi Foreign Minister Fouad Hussein revealed last Wednesday that Baghdad and Washington had reached an agreement to withdraw 500 American soldiers from Iraq, following discussions that took place during a phone call between the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi, and the U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo .

Report: Gov’t agency told workers to not use the word ‘fraud’ for COVID relief applications

“Fraud” is a word workers are reportedly being told to avoid using if they spot questionable applications as part of the Small Business Administration’s $212 billion COVID-19 Economic Injury Disaster Loan program for pandemic relief.

Bloomberg reported that workers reviewing requests for the U.S. agency have been told by managers to substitute the word “fraud” with other words like “duplicate,” said four people who received the directions and asked to remain anonymous. The individuals added that the substitute words

The group said the alternative terms varied by teams but could be misleading.

Some supervisors at the agency reportedly told employees that the change was implemented in an effort to avoid being targeted by public records requests.

The instructions could make it more difficult for the Small Business Administration to estimate the amount of misuse that occurred under the COVID-19 relief program.

‘What happened to academic freedom?’: Scientist fumes as Facebook flags Covid-19 study questioning mask effectiveness as ‘false'

Social media cannot be allowed to suppress scientific discourse, critics said after Facebook ‘fact-checkers’ flagged as ‘false’ an Oxford professor’s report citing the Danish study on effectiveness of facemasks against Covid-19.

“[What] has happened to academic freedom and freedom of speech? There is nothing in this article that is 'false',” Carl Heneghan, the director of the Center for Evidence-Based Medicine at Oxford University, wondered on Friday.

Here's what happened when I posted our latest @spectator article to Facebook - I'm aware this is happening to others - what has happened to academic freedom and freedom of speech? There is nothing in this article that is 'false' pic.twitter.com/8Kdmw38ICC

Chicago: 2020 On Track to Surpass 700 Homicides and Become the City’s Deadliest Year

Data from the medical examiner’s office shows that 2020 might become Chicago’s deadliest year.

The Chicago Sun-Times analyzed the data. Chicago has already seen 694 homicides this year. There were 680 homicides in 2016 during the same time period.

However, the medical examiner’s office has 715 homicides in 2020. The Chicago Sun-Times does not include “police-involved shootings and other self-defense shootings” unlike the medical examiner.

Chicago, which has strict gun laws, also has 53% more shootings in 2020 than in 2019 during this time period.

The city has already hit milestones when it comes to homicides.

May 31 was the deadliest day in Chicago in 60 years. 18 murders occurred in a span of 24 hours.

Record gun violence happened during Father’s Day weekend with 104 shooting victims and 14 fatalities. Five minors died, including a 3-year-old boy.

It had its deadliest September since the early 1990s with 81 homicides, only three fewer than the 84 in September 1993.

US Army combines European and African commands

The U.S. Army announced Friday that two of its service commands, U.S. Army Europe and U.S. Army Africa, will be consolidated into one new command called U.S. Army Europe and Africa (USAREUR-AF).

The new consolidated command will be led by one four-star commander and will operate from a “rotational forward headquarters in Poznan, Poland,” U.S. Army said in a statement to American Military News.

The purpose of the consolidation is to redirect focus on strategic-level tasks, and streamline the command’s response efforts and other functions, the statement said.

“This consolidation enhances global and regional readiness in support of the National Defense Strategy,” said Ryan D. McCarthy, Secretary of the Army, in the statement. “The new structure will increase command and control effectiveness, flexibility and the capability to conduct large-scale, joint and multi-domain operations.”

In October, it was reported that Lt. Gen. Christopher Cavoli would be leading the newly combined command. Cavoli had led U.S. Army Europe since January 2018.

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp Says He Will Certify Election Results

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) announced Friday that he will certify the Peach State’s election results, cementing former Vice President Joe Biden as the winner in the state.

Kemp stated during a press conference that the law requires him to “formalize the certification, which paves the way for the Trump campaign to pursue other legal options and a separate recount if they choose.” The governor did not explicitly endorse the results.

“State law now requires the governor’s office to formalize the certification, which paves the way for the Trump campaign to pursue other legal options and a separate recount if they choose,” he said.

Earlier Friday, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger certified Biden’s narrow victory in the state.

COVID-19 Creates Unconstitutional Hell For America

“And just like that, Americans gave up their liberty.” The Scientific Dictatorship of Technocracy has resisted only by a small minority, like TN. The rest of America has seemingly given up and slipped into a form of slavery where they do anything they’re told and question nothing. ⁃ TN Editor

Thanks to the dreaded COVID-19, it’s goodbye Thanksgiving and, soon enough, farewell Christmas. And after that, who knows?

Having discovered that Americans have lost their spines and are now easily penned inside their homes like two-legged sheep, the petty potentates who rule—not govern, rule—far too many states and municipalities have concluded that we will never fight back, never resist, and never reject their latest whimsical edicts.

For proof, look no farther than California, where 41 of the state’s 58 counties have just been returned to most-restricted status, and a statewide curfew is now being bruited in Sacramento. The state is “pulling an emergency brake,” as CCP virus “cases” rise, said Gov. Gavin Newsom, who recently attended a pricey private birthday party at the exclusive French Laundry restaurant in the Napa Valley, violating his own Caligulan guidelines.

There are vague promises that things might begin to open again next year, but don’t hold your breath.

Seven MS-13 Gang Members Indicted in Violent Crime and Drug Distribution Conspiracy

Conspired to Commit Acts Involving Murder, Intimidation, and Assault

A federal grand jury in Nashville, Tennessee, returned a 16-count superseding indictment Wednesday, charging seven MS-13 gang members with conspiracy to distribute cocaine and marijuana and serious firearm-related offenses, announced Acting Assistant Attorney General Brian C. Rabbitt of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division and U.S. Attorney Don Cochran for the Middle District of Tennessee.

Those charged include Carlos Ochoa-Martinez, 31, aka “El Serio,” Jason Sandoval, 35, aka “Bin Laden,” Jorge Flores, 28, aka “Peluche,” all of Nashville; Jose Pineda-Caceres, 22, aka “Demente,” and Franklin Hernandez, 21, aka “Happy,” both of Honduras; Gerson Serrano-Ramirez, 33, aka “Frijole,” of El Salvador and Juan Melendez,” aka “Shaggy,” of Lebanon, Tennessee.

The indictment alleges that beginning in 2014 and continuing until yesterday, the defendants conspired with each other to obtain bulk quantities of marijuana and cocaine for redistribution in and around middle Tennessee. Once the drugs were received, the defendants would reduce them into smaller quantities and sell them in and around nightclubs in Nashville and from the parking lots and restrooms of these establishments. In order to maximize drug distribution in these nightclubs, the defendants would threaten rival and competing drug dealers who sold and attempted to sell cocaine and marijuana in the nightclubs.

Open Letter Calls on Harvard to Create ‘System of Accountability’ for Inviting Trump Admin Alums to Campus

An open letter circulating at Harvard University demands the school create a "system of accountability" for hiring former Trump administration officials or inviting them to speak on campus, the Harvard Crimson reported Thursday.

Inviting Trump White House alumni to teach or speak on campus would legitimize the "subversion of democratic principles," the letter states. Consequently, it asks school officials to create "accountability guidelines" to vet those who worked in the Trump administration. The letter also requests that the school share the guidelines with students before the year's end.

Harvard traditionally employs both Republicans and Democrats who leave the White House after an election. But President Donald Trump's "attack on truth" necessitates that Harvard administrators vet potential hires or speakers who worked for the president, according to the letter.

An Obama Tradition Continues: Biden Taps Facebook Lobbyist for Top Admin Post

President-elect Joe Biden on Friday announced the selection of Louisa Terrell as his legislative affairs director. Like most of the people Biden has tapped for senior roles in his administration, Terrell formerly worked in lobbying shops for controversial corporations such as Facebook, Yahoo, and McKinsey & Company.

The decision is in keeping with former president Barack Obama's proud tradition of hiring corporate lobbyists—despite explicitly campaigning against the influence of such lobbyists in Washington. Terrell is merely the latest former lobbyist to earn a senior role in the Biden administration.

Biden's incoming chief of staff, Ron Klain, previously lobbied on behalf of U.S. Airways, AOL Time Warner, Fannie Mae, and ImClone, a pharmaceutical company whose CEO was convicted of fraud. His deputy chief of staff, Jen O'Malley Dillon, cofounded an "integrated strategy and marketing agency" that was recently hired to represent private equity firms. The incoming counselor to the president, Steve Ricchetti, previously lobbied for AT&T, Eli Lily, and the American Bankers Association.
