Syrian Army Eliminated Over 270 ISIS Members In Al-Suwayda Province Since Middle November: Russian MoD
Syrian troops have eliminated more than 270 ISIS members during the operation in the province of Al-Suwayda since the middle of November, Oleg Makarevich, a spokesman for the command of the Russian task force in Syria, told media on December 3.
“During the operation, over 270 militants were killed, large amounts of weapons, ammunition, shells, foreign-made landmines, including 12 TOW anti-tank guided missiles, were seized,” he stressed adding that most militants had arrived in al-Suwayda from the US-controlled area of At-Tanf.
“The terrorists had been there for a long time, flocking to the area for several months. Among them were militants who were able to leave Yarmouk and Damascus in advance and also arrived from al-Tanf. Another difficulty was that tanks and heavy artillery have very limited maneuverability there, while the militants had many grenade launchers, anti-tank missiles and 82mm mortars.”

ISIS Calls for Bloodshed in New York City Over New Year’s, Suggests Package Bombs and Snipers
A media group that does support for ISIS is calling for attacks on New York City this New Year — urging terrorists to use package bombs, silencers and mail bombs to “horrify and terrify.”
The latest call to action follows multiple threats from Jihadists for New Year’s Day.
Isis Threatening NYC in 2017
According to a report from PJ Media, a poster began circulating in mid-November showing a masked jihadist holding a bloody knife over a collage of images from the Berlin Christmas market attack in 2016. It said that “New Year’s Day is the date of retribution.”
“Shortly after that, an ISIS-backing media group released an image of a demolished cityscape with multiple fires, warning, ‘Soon, Allah willing, the disbelievers will see the very thing they feared: 1-1-2019,'” PJ Media reports. “That same group just released an image of an armed jihadist overlooking New York, stating the city named with a blood-splashed 1/1/2019.”
The text on the latest image quotes the late ISIS spokesman Abu Muhammad al-Adnani urging his fellow terrorists to “hit them with the explosive belts and vehicle bomb, and shock them with adhesive explosives and packages, and harvest them with silencers and snipers, horrify and terrify them with the intrusions.”
Another ISIS supporting organization released an image of ISIS flags flying above the Vatican along with several jihadists on Via Della Conciliazione, PJ Media’s report says. The image was released shortly after another group of ISIS supporters, Al-Abd Al-Faqir, issued two assassination threats against Pope Francis.
In June, a 27-year-old California man, Everitt Aaron Jameson, pleaded guilty to plotting a Christmas Day bombing and shooting in San Francisco on behalf of ISIS. He was caught after discussing his plan to use pipe bombs to funnel people onto Pier 39 and shoot them en masse with undercover FBI agents who he believed were fellow Jihadis.
When Jameson’s home was raided, authorities found a handwritten letter that said: “you’ve allowed Donald Trump to give Al Quds away to the Jews,” seemingly referencing President Donald Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
Jameson, a former US Marine, was sentenced to 15 years in prison for the plot.

Gee i wonder who is behind this??? C_A, M_6 Mossad perhaps???
Man known as 'Nick' - whose 'fake' claims of VIP child sex abuse sparked £2.5m police inquiry - is named and pictured for first time, as he appears in court charged with perverting course of justice (and he's actually called Carl)
Claims by man previously known only as 'Nick' led to VIP abuse inquiry
He can be named as 50-year-old Carl Beech after judge lifts court order today
Beech is now charged with perverting the course of justice and fraud
He made claims against politicians Sir Edward Heath and Lord Brittan and others
The man known only as 'Nick' whose allegations sparked the Westminster VIP sex abuse inquiry can be pictured for the first time today after a judge lifted a legal order banning his identification.
Carl Beech, 50, is set to go on trial, accused of 12 counts of perverting the course of justice and one count of fraud.
He appeared before Newcastle Crown Court via videolink this afternoon as Judge Paul Sloan QC lifted a reporting restriction which previously prevented the media from identifying him.
In the UK, all victims of rape and other sex crimes are automatically guaranteed anonymity for life from the moment they make a complaint.
However, in exceptional circumstances, judges may lift these restrictions, such as when the complainants themselves are charged with an offence.
No pleas have been entered and Beech will stand trial on May 7 next year. The hearing, which has been put back, will take place at Newcastle Crown Court and should last six to eight weeks.
At a hearing last month Beech's barrister Raymond Tully said: 'We anticipate that the matter will be fully contested.'

CNN’s John Avlon Says Voter Fraud In A Congressional District May Lead To Special Election
CNN senior political analyst John Avlon said a credible case of voter fraud has been discovered in North Carolina’s Ninth Congressional District and may end up triggering a special election.
“New Day” host John Berman began a Monday segment by calling voter fraud a “figment of President [Donald] Trump’s imagination” before turning to Avlon for the rundown.
“Voter fraud: You know it’s one of resident Trump’s favorite boogeyman,” Avlon said. “He called it out before the midterm elections, launched a commission to find it, and repeatedly blamed it without evidence for losing the 2016 popular vote. But voter fraud is vanishingly rare in the United States.”
Avlon said a viable case of voter fraud is big news.
“It’s big news that voter fraud is being credibly alleged in one North Carolina congressional race and wait for it — fingers are pointing at the Republican campaign,” he said.
Republican Mark Harris won by a close margin of 905 votes over Democrat Dan McCready, but is now having his victory called into question, Avlon said.
“Late last week the North Carolina board of elections voted across party lines to postpone certification of Harris as the winner. Something is rotten in the North Carolina ninth,” he continued.
Avlon claimed certain rural counties saw a drop off in black absentee voting and said 40 percent of requested ballots were never returned.
“All this is shady and definitely deserving of further investigation,” he said. “The vote for the Republican has so many irregularities that there could end up being a new election, which is possibly why we haven’t heard boo about it from the president yet.”

Supreme Court Turns Down Challenge To The Border Wall
he U.S. Supreme Court declined to take up a challenge to President Donald Trump’s border wall Monday, which asserted that the administration violated the Constitution when it exempted border barrier projects from environmental regulations.
The plaintiffs warn of adverse effects to local ecosystems should the administration raise a wall along the border with Mexico.
“It’s disappointing that the Supreme Court won’t consider this important constitutional issue,” Brian Segee, a senior attorney at the Center for Biological Diversity (CBD), told The Daily Caller News Foundation by email. “Trump has abused his power to wreak havoc along the border to score political points. He’s illegally sweeping aside bedrock environmental and public health laws. We’ll continue to fight Trump’s dangerous wall in the courts and in Congress.”
A 1996 law authorized the attorney general (and later the Homeland Security secretary) to build border barriers to deter illegal immigration. In that connection, the law gave the Department of Homeland Security secretary power to exempt certain border projects from environmental laws like the Endangered Species Act, as well as other legal rules, to ensure quick construction.
The law also restricts the jurisdiction of courts to hear legal challenges to the secretary’s waivers, and provides that such lawsuits must be lodged on an accelerated timetable.
A coalition of green advocacy groups sued after the Trump administration issued two waivers under the ’96 law for border wall projects in southern California. The plaintiffs argued the waiver and jurisdictional provisions violate the constitutional separation of powers.
“[The ’96 law] effectively allows an unelected cabinet secretary to repeal existing laws, and then shields the repeals from judicial review,” the CBD’s petition to the high court reads. The petition urged the justices to curtail the “extraordinary conferral of waiver authority that fundamentally distorts the allocation of power in our tripartite system of government.”

Halting arms exports to aggressors facilitates Yemen peace: Iran
Iran's Foreign Ministry says halting arms exports to parties involved in the aggression against Yemen will facilitate the achievement of peace in the war-torn country as belligerent sides are heading for renewed UN-brokered peace talks in Sweden.
In a statement on Monday, the ministry offered its support for the forthcoming Yemen peace talks while urging the international community to play a "key and serious" role, including by exerting pressure on the exporters of arms to the aggressors in order to "facilitate the peace process in Yemen.”
Reiterating that the Yemeni people must be allowed to decide their country’s fate free from the outsiders’ interference, the statement said, “There is no way out of the Yemen crisis other than a political solution based on Yemeni-Yemeni talks.”
Iran's Foreign Ministry called on all Yemeni sides to have "constructive and responsible" participation in the peace talks with the goal of putting an end to the humanitarian crisis in Yemen.
It also urged “all the Yemeni sides to take trust-building measures, preparing the ground for achieving a comprehensive agreement to put an end to the suffering of Yemenis and the brutal blockage imposed on them.”
The statement pointed to the Islamic Republic's comprehensive four-point peace plan presented at the onset of the brutal aggression on Yemen to resolve the crisis, noting that the four-point plan included an immediate cessation of war, delivery of humanitarian aid, beginning of Yemeni-Yemeni talks, and the establishment of an all-inclusive government in Yemen.
In April 2015, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif submitted a letter on a four-point peace plan for Yemen to the United Nations in an attempt to end the bloodshed in the Arab country.
In a post on his official Twitter account on Friday, Zarif once again assessed the viability of putting an end to the ongoing Saudi-led crisis in Yemen only through the Islamic Republic's four-point plan.

Huber Testimony to House GOP on DOJ’s Probe of Clinton Foundation Scheduled For Wednesday POSTPONED
John Huber, the Special Prosecutor tapped by Sessions was scheduled to testify at a GOP-led Congressional hearing on December 5th on the DOJ’s probe of the Clinton Foundation.
The hearing, originally scheduled for December 5th has been postponed because President Trump designated Wednesday as National Day of Mourning to honor the passing of former President George H.W. Bush.
It is unclear when a new hearing will be scheduled. The Gateway Pundit will update when more information is available.
In October, Congressman Mark Meadows said he wanted Huber to appear before Congress to answer questions and give updates.
Last Fall, Attorney General Jeff Sessions appointed Special Prosecutor John Huber to investigate whether the FBI and DOJ abused its power when it obtained FISA warrants on Carter Page and to look into the DOJ’s probe of the Clinton Foundation.
On Friday night, award-winning investigative journalist John Solomon told Sean Hannity that federal prosecutors working for John Huber reached out to a CLINTON FOUNDATION whistleblower.
According to John Solomon, this is a separate Clinton Foundation whistleblower than the one who was raided by FBI agents last month.
