London's Heathrow Airport Evacuated Over Suspicious Package

Armed police are responding after Terminal 4 in London's Heathrow Airport was put on lockdown after a suspicious package was detected.

Earlier in the day, Whitehall from Parliament Square to Horse Guards was shut down over a suspicious package that turned out not to be dangerous, Sputnik News reported.

The package was discovered at a check-in kiosk for El Al Israel Airlines. Police sealed off and evacuated the surrounding area and all flights from the airport are delayed until further notice.

How Britain Carved Up the Middle East and Helped Create Saudi Arabia

The British strategy of colonial divide and rule, and reliance on Muslim forces to promote imperial interests, reached its apogee in the Middle East during and after the First World War. The carving up of the region by British and French officials has been endlessly commented on – though less so as an illustration of the long-standing British ‘use’ of Islam, which then took on a new turn. The Middle East was seen by British planners as critical for both strategic and commercial reasons. Strategically, the Islamic territories were important buffers against Russian expansion into the imperial land route from British India to British-controlled Egypt. But oil had by now also entered the picture, with the founding of the Anglo–Iranian Oil Corporation in Persia in 1908, the discovery of oil in Iraq soon after, and its increasingly important role in powering the military during the First World War. British planners viewed control over Iraqi and Persian oil to be ‘a first class British war aim’, Sir Maurice Hankey, secretary of the War Cabinet, said towards the end of the conflict. By November 1918 the general staff in Baghdad wrote that ‘the future power in the world is oil’.

British foreign policy had, since the sixteenth century, supported the Ottoman empire of the Muslim Turks, the largest and most powerful Muslim entity in the world which, at its height in the seventeenth century, had spanned North Africa, southeast Europe and much of the Middle East. Britain was committed to defending ‘Ottoman integrity’ against Russian and French imperial designs, which involved de facto support for the Turkish Caliphate – the Ottoman sultan’s claim to be the leader of the ummah, the Muslim world community. After Britain captured India, the Ottoman empire was seen as a convenient buffer to keep out rivals along the military and trade route to the jewel in the crown. London often cast itself as the saviour of the Turkish sultan: in the Crimean War of 1854–6, one of the bloodiest conflicts in modern European history, Britain and France fought on behalf of the Ottomans against Russia. The ‘Eastern Question’ – the imperial struggle for control in the lands dominated by the decaying Ottoman empire – was a process in which Britain essentially tried to shore up the last great Muslim empire against its great power rivals. By the time Ottoman Turkey made the fateful choice of siding with Germany in the First World War, it was already a declining power but still controlled much of the Middle East, including present-day Syria, Iraq, Jordan and Palestine, which it had ruled for 400 years. After its defeat, the European powers, led by the British, fell upon its carcass and divided it up between them.

During the First World War Britain appealed to the Arabs in the Middle East to join it in overthrowing Ottoman rule of their territories, in exchange for British guarantees of postwar independence. In its 1914 proclamation ‘to the natives of Arabia, Palestine, Syria and Mesopotamia’, the British government stated that:

‘One of [the government’s] fundamental traditions is to be a friend of Islam and Muslums [sic] and to defend the Islamic Khalifate even if it was a Khalifate of conquest and necessity as the Turkish Khalifate which England had defended with money and men and influence several times … There is no nation amongst Muslums who is now capable of upholding the Islamic Khalifate except the Arab nation and no country is more fitted for its seat than the Arab countries’.

Desperate John Brennan Begs People to Defeat Trump-Supporting Candidates in Midterms

Former CIA Chief-turned-Twitter-troll John Brennan begged people to vote to defeat Trump-supporting candidates in the midterms.

Brennan is afraid of the House Intel investigation into his role promoting Hillary’s fake Russia dossier.

If the Democrats take the House, the investigation spearheaded by Chairman Nunes will come to a halt.

The Dems are also threatening to launch investigations if they take the House.

Nancy Pelosi even threatened to use subpoena power as a negotiating tool if the Dems take the House.

Brennan is desperate…

BRENNAN: Opportunity to repudiate @realDonaldTrump & to restore Congressional ability to thwart his recklessness & fear mongering arrives tomorrow. Vote for individuals who represent the best of America. In this election, those who stand with Trump must be defeated. Vote!

Miami Polling Station Runs Out Of Ballots As Early Voting Soars

Democrats in swing states like Florida, where polls suggest their parties' candidates for state-wide and US Congress have a slight edge, are, we imagine, already bracing to call for recounts as the first in what we imagine will be a rash of election-related delays and malfunctions plague polling places in heavily Democratic districts. To wit, the Miami Herald reported on Sunday that a polling place in northern Miami briefly ran out of ballots on Sunday thanks to "malfunctioning printers".

The logistical nightmare that followed led to long lines on the final day of early voting, with some voters waiting more than three hours to cast a ballot.

As the sun set on the 14th day of early voting in the largely black neighborhood, more than 200 voters were in a line that snaked around half a block outside the North Miami library. "I would have stayed in line eight hours if I had to," Joas Laurent, 37, said as he walked out of the library at 7:20 p.m., about three hours after he said he arrived.

Florida has an idiosyncratic system set up for early voting, relying on printers to issue "customized" ballots to each voter based on their home district. In Sunday's fiasco, the printers stopped working, forcing poll workers to distribute prefabricated ballots. When those ran out, campaign workers scrambled to order more from a local voting district. One seasoned poll worker said Sunday was the only time she could remember Miami-Dade running out of ballots.

Because any voter in Miami-Dade can vote early in any of the county’s 28 early-voting sites, poll workers print out a customized ballot with the state and municipal questions that apply to a voter’s precinct. For some reason, all of the North Miami printers went down at once, White said. Unable to print customized ballots, poll workers had to revert to the contingency plan: unlocking a cabinet with pre-printed ballots for each of the hundreds of precincts within Miami-Dade.

And while the county assured the press that this was only a minor hiccup…

"Nobody waited more than 45 minutes" for their replacement ballot to arrive, she said. "Which I know is a long time."

…voters who waited out the ordeal complained that, in reality, the wait times were more than four times that.

Francesca Petite, 19, arrived at the North Miami site around 4 p.m. to vote in her first election. She didn’t leave the voting site until 7:45 p.m. "The lines could have been quicker," she said. But joined by her older sister, Evelyn, Petite said the crowds kept them entertained in line and that volunteers handed out water bottles. "Overall," she said, "It was a positive experience."

DILLON: WATCH: I Went To The Border, Here’s What I Found

I left San Diego feeling much different about our border.

As someone who grew up in New England and never really engaged in the discussions about illegal immigration, I was indifferent to President Trump’s proposal for a border wall. After moving to California, I couldn’t escape discussions about the issue.

So in an effort to learn more about what exactly is going on at our southern border, I traveled to San Diego for a ride-along with the Border Patrol. What I found was that our border is complicated and currently changing. There isn’t a 30-foot-tall border wall yet, but changes are being made in other ways to better secure the border and prevent illegal immigration and drug trafficking.

After meeting with the men and women whose job it is to defend the border, I realized that it is a difficult and, often times, dangerous task. I left San Diego feeling much different about our border. Watch my trip:

Israeli Minister Threatens to Strike Syrian S-300s If Israeli Jets Get Hit

An Israeli minister said Monday that Russia’s shipment of S-300 anti-aircraft systems were “a big mistake” and said Israel would target them if Israeli planes are hit in Israeli airspace.

Ze'ev Elkin, Israel's minister of Jerusalem affairs and minister of environmental protection, who is also the co-chair of the Russia-Israel Intergovernmental Commission, said that Israel is ready to attack Syria's new S-300 air defense systems in the event that they are used to fire on Israeli jets.

"We consider the very fact of shipping S-300 to Syria a big mistake," Elkin said during a press conference for Russian media Monday. "The Syrian military are not always capable of correctly using the hardware transferred to them. In case of improper operation, civilian aircrafts may be harmed," he said.

"The Syrians, if they ever want to, might use [these systems] to down an Israeli military or commercial plane over Israeli territory," he said, "considering the mess that is going on in the Syrian Army. Shipping S-300s might lead to destabilization of the situation."

He said that Israel will retaliate in the event of an air defense attack, and he partially put the responsibility for any such incident on Russia.

"By shipping these kinds of weapons to Syrians, Russia bears partial responsibility for their use," Elkin said. "Usually, Israel reacts to attacks on its territory and its aircrafts not through international demarches, but with practical actions. Actions would undoubtedly take place, should [an attack] occur, against the launchers used to attack Israeli territory or Israeli planes."

"I hope greatly that there would be no Russian military specialists [at S-300 sites]," he continued. "Israel has for all these years been doing everything it can to make sure Russian military personnel are not harmed. The Iranians have repeatedly used the Russian military as a living shield and conducted arms relocation operations under the cover of the Russian military presence." Elkin claimed that, according to Israeli intelligence, the Iranian military has attempted to use Russian military bases for arms shipment operations.

"We have good enough intelligence regarding Iranian actions, and we know how to warn our Russian colleagues about such attempts in time."

The S-300 systems have been shipped to Syria in response to an incident in which the Syrian military's older S-200 air defense systems shot down a Russian Il-20 military airplane while firing at four Israeli F-16 jets. Moscow later said the Israeli jets had used the Russian craft as cover from anti-air fire. The incident led to the deaths of 15 Russian military servicemen. The shipment of S-300s was completed on October 2.
