US Warns Iran It Will Respond to Any Attacks on Its Diplomatic Missions in Iraq

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - The United States warned Iran not to launch attacks on US government facilities in Iraq and pledged to hold Tehran responsible for any such incidents, the White House said in a press release Tuesday afternoon.

"[W]e have seen life-threatening attacks in Iraq, including on the United States consulate in Basra and against the American embassy compound in Baghdad," the release said. "The United States will hold the regime in Tehran accountable for any attack that results in injury to our personnel or damage to United States government facilities."

Iranian forces last week launched a missile attack on bases belonging to the Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan (PDKI) as well as adjacent refugee camps located in Iraq that reportedly killed at least 16 people and wounded 38 others.

PDKI Secretary General Mustafa Mawludi and his predecessor Khalid Azizi were reportedly among those wounded in the attack.

Kurds are the largest ethnic minority in Syria, Iraq and Turkey, and Iran has its own smaller Kurdish population. The PDKI has recently been stepping up its fight against Iranian security forces, especially in the west of the country, where many of Iran's Kurds live. The PDKI supports the right of self-determination for the Kurds.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) said earlier that Iranian forces launched the strikes against what they called terror groups in Iraq, claiming that the latter had ignored Tehran’s calls to cease their attacks on Iranian forces and shut down their bases in the region.

Twitter Alternative Gab.AI Blocked by Google – for Hate Speech

Google deleted Twitter alternative Gab.AI from their platform this week.

Far left Silicon Valley elites decide who gets a voice in America today.

NewsBusters reported:

Google’s approach to hate speech is heavy-handed to say the least.

Google Play Store, the app store for Android cell phones, recently decided to crack down on its hate-speech policy. Recently, Gab.ai, a social media platform that markets itself as an alternative to Twitter, was “suspended and removed” on September 9 from the Google Play Store yet again. That’s because, according to Google, the app “violated the hate speech policy.”

While the site has some questionable users, Gab.ai is focused on allowing freedom of speech on its platform. This is the second version of the app that the site had launched. On Twitter, the Gab.ai profile said it had a “global filter on ‘hate speech’ words” and tried to fully comply with Google Play’s policy.

CEO Andrew Torba published the list of hate words that had to be filtered out in order to meet the standards of Google Play. The list was extensive.

Torba criticized the app store on his Gab.ai profile, saying, “Weird that apps which allow pedophiles to roam freely and prey on young children (Twitter, Periscope, Mastodon) are all allowed on the App Stores. But Gab.ai, which takes a hardline stance against illegal pornography and child abuse, is not allowed.”

Q

Time to speak to the Anon's about the obvious contradictions.

You know we are driven by truth but we are lied to regularly.

We know who the real enemies are but this is contradicted by the government.

We experience and see crime everyday but no justice.

We know we are ruled over by subversion yet we are being subverted here.

Good people of all ages are being killed raped and abused everyday.

We are being poisoned everyday.

Are we just another tool of the ELITE?

When do we see justice? Or are we being led to the slaughter?

Christian actor Kevin Sorbo returns Nikes: ‘They hurt my feet when I stand for the national anthem’

Christian actor Kevin Sorbo has jumped on the Nike boycott bandwagon.

Many former Nike fans began voicing their outrage at the company after it unveiled its latest “Just Do It” ad campaign, which featured former NFL player and activist Colin Kaepernick and the campaign slogan, “Believe in something. Even if it means sacrificing everything.”

What are the details?

In a rather tongue-in-cheek Facebook post, Sorbo revealed that he’d returned a pair of Nikes to a retailer because they hurt his feet while standing for the playing of “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

In an interview with CNS News, Sorbo explained his post, which read, “I just returned a pair of Nike shoes to the store. I complained that they hurt my feet when I stand for the [national anthem].”

Sorbo told the outlet that he felt Nike “blew it.”

“I laughed when I saw the hypocrisy in [the ad],” Sorbo explained.

“Nike blew it,” he added, calling the company’s move to feature Kaepernick in the ad campaign as a “horrible move.”

“Horrible move by them to compare the millions he is still being paid by the NFL and the millions Nike [may have given] him to whine about his misfortune and how he ‘sacrificed’ everything to make a stand against police brutality when true heroes gave their lives to protect his right to whine,” Sorbo explained.

“Only in America can you fail upwardly in sports,” he added.

Sorbo didn’t have many kind words to spare even for Kaepernick himself, saying that he “sucked” as a football player.

What else?

The outlet reported that Sorbo also sarcastically suggested that the NFL and NBA “need more diversity,” such as “more Koreans, more Jewish players, more Russians, more Norwegians, and more people from Guam.

“[It’s] not fair that so many African-Americans are ruling the leagues,” he added. “Just so unfair.”

Sorbo pointed out the obvious sarcasm in his diversity remarks, and adamantly noted that he is a “firm believer” that people ought to “hire the best people for whatever job it is.”
