New Zealand dispatches special forces to Syria to rescue kidnapped aid worker

Breaking its silence on the case, the independent aid agency identified the three kidnapped as Akavi and Syrian drivers Alaa Rajab and Nabil Bakdounes. New Zealand revealed Monday that it had dispatched a special forces unit to Syria to search for Louisa Akavi who was abducted by Daesh* some six years ago.

For six years, a shroud of silence surrounded the life of the New Zealander held hostage by Daesh. According to the New Zealand Herald, media across New Zealand held back, encouraging other media outlets to do so as well, after the family of Louisa Akavi received an email from Daesh. Her terrorist kidnappers told her family she would be killed if her 2013 capture was made public.

Louisa Akavi had dedicated her life to the needs of the world’s most vulnerable, as she set out as a young nurse in the mid-1980s, in search of places where she could best help people. “It does become a little bit hard, but it is the small things,” she told the Kapiti Observer in 2010. “It’s working with the national staff who do the best they can. I don’t know why I still do it. It’s something I do well. I know that I can make a difference, a small difference.”

ISIS terrorists execute several people in eastern Iraq

BEIRUT, LEBANON (1:20 P.M.) – The Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL/IS/Daesh) terrorist group released a new video over the weekend that showed their fighters executing several people in eastern Iraq.

In the new propaganda video, the Islamic State terrorists execute several militiamen and village chiefs that are accused of passing information to the Iraqi security forces regarding the terrorist group’s activities.

“Stop killing the Mujahedeen and do not get involved in a fight doomed to defeat,” one of the terrorist combatants says in the video.

The terrorist group allegedly carried out these executions inside the Diyala Governorate of eastern Iraq.

Despite losing all of their territory in Iraq, the Islamic State still maintains several sleeper cells that carry out ambushes and kidnappings across the country.

Romans 3:3

“For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?”

“These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.”

An Age of Insanity When an Ex-Barmaid Has a National Voice

It is a disturbing experience to listen to the rambling comments of 30-year old ex-barmaid, Alexander Ocasio-Cortez (AOC). As you listen to the ignorance, inaccuracies, and naïve views, you understand why the Founding Fathers limited the age of eligibility for President to 35. The question is why do her views receive so much attention?

The answer is because a group of technocrats saw an opportunity to push non-issues onto the stage without the danger of association. It is a technique seen as essential for control in today’s insane world. It is called plausible deniability and Obama was probably as good a practitioner as any to date.

If you lack the abilities required to wangle your way to the top or prefer to control from the shadows, then a public figure is an alternative. Obama started as such, a person chosen by George Soros and created by Valerie Jarrett. He was only supposed to serve one term but became enamored of the power and privilege of the job. In Obama’s third year Soros announced he would not support him for a second term. By that point, Obama decided to run and only succeeded because three million Republicans refused to vote for Romney.

The Democrats have no clear political leader or even a potential leader on the horizon. The ones who are apparently considering the position are so far left that they guarantee a loss at the next election. A large number of Democrats will not vote or even vote for Trump. A report said that some 30% of attendees at his recent rally in Grand Rapids Michigan are registered Democrats. They also have no policies because Trump usurped their traditional sectors of American society and their issues.

I am the echo of your past

I am returning the echo of a point in time

Distant faces shine

A thousand warriors I have known

And laughing as the spirits appear

All your life

Shadows of another day

And if you hear me talking on the wind

You've got to understand

We must remain

ISIS reemerges to wreak havoc in central Libya

BEIRUT, LEBANON (11:50 A.M.) – The Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL/IS/Daesh) terrorist organization has reemerged in central Libya after suffering a devastating defeat in 2017.

Taking advantage of the ongoing battle for Tripoli between the two major powers in Libya, the Islamic State launched a surprise attack on the town of Al-Fuqaha in the central part of the country.

According to reports from central Libya, the Islamic State carried out the attack at night using dozens of fighters that were transported in 13 vehicles.

Once they reached the town, the terrorist group executed two police officers right away and then made their way to the police chief’s house, where they killed him and then burnt down his residency and office.

The Islamic State terrorist would then kidnap a dozen people before retreating from the town.

Following the attack, the Islamic State’s official media wing released several images of their operation, including their fighters executing the police officers.

“Innocent housewife” Shamima Begum was in fact cruel enforcer in ISIS’ morality police

Shamima Begum was a member of the Isis morality police, a feared group which enforced the terror organisation’s strict interpretation of Islamic law – and she also tried to recruit other young women to join the jihadist group.

The 19-year-old British citizen, who fled her home in Bethnal Green four years ago with two other schoolgirls, has claimed that she was only a “housewife” during her time living with the group in Syria.

But according to a report in The Sunday Telegraph she played a much more active role in the organisation’s reign of terror as a member of the “hisba” – which metes out punishment to those found flouting Isis laws on how to dress and behave.

One activist quoted by the newspaper said Begum had been seen holding an automatic weapon and shouting at Syrian women in the city of Raqqa for wearing brightly coloured shoes.

“Members of our group from Raqqa knew her well”, said Aghiad al-Kheder, an activist from Deir ez-Zor who founded an anti-Isis collective that published information about Isis crimes from sources on the ground.

“There were lots of young European women in the hisba. Some of them were very harsh and the local population became very scared.”

There were separate allegations that Begum stitched suicide bombs onto explosive vests, so they could not be removed without detonating.

The Mail on Sunday reported that the prime minister and home secretary had been briefed on intelligence received by the CIA and Dutch military intelligence.

Be not deceived the Anti-Christ is coming and will claim to be a god

2 Corinthians 11:14

“And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.”

Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

The sky is red, I don't understand,

past midnight I still see the land.

People are sayin' the woman is damned,

she makes you burn with a wave of her hand.

The city's a blaze, the town's on fire.

The woman's flames are reaching higher.

We were fools, we called her liar.

All I hear is "Burn!"

I didn't believe she was devil's sperm.

She said, "Curse you all, you'll never learn!

When I leave there's no return."

The people laughed till she said, "Burn!"

There are 2 ideas being argued worldwide, and one side doesn’t believe the other side when they state their specific goals and reasons and even declares war. One idea is articulated in the The US Bill of Rights and similarly in the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), and includes freedom of conscience, freedom of religion, free speech, and equality of all before the law. In response to that the other idea was deceptively presented in the Cairo Declaration of (Islamic) Human Rights as human rights under sharia law. But isn’t it an oxymoron to claim 1 particular group of people, in this case Muslims, have special human rights that need to be covered in a separate declaration? The CDHR is vague about exactly what those alternative special human rights are.

If you are not aware of the massive worldwide, well organized & financed deception about Islam, then you are probably not familiar with the term Islamic supremacism and a lot of what you are about to see will seem impossible to believe. In fact, if you consider yourself well informed, it will be self evident the only way this could all be true is if there was a great deception at work that is even confusing many peaceful tolerant Muslims who will sincerely defend what they believe is true about Islamic theology, when what they are really describing are their own personal beliefs, perhaps learned from their families, friends, or internet rather than religious schools or authorities with Ph.D’s in Islamic jurisprudence from the world’s leading Islamic universities.

This massive deception has had a major impact on what’s been taught about Islam in Western universities for over 40 years, and has permeated government, main stream media (MSM), universities, law enforcement, and society with myths making it virtually impossible to talk about in good company because everyone is working from a different ‘fact’ sheet with many conclusions based on heart more than what’s true. It’s created a situation where it simply takes too long for most people to figure it out. But you cannot see the concern or find realistic ways to live with it if you don’t even know what Islamic supremacism (IS) is.

The Corruption and Influence of Jessie K Liu…

What do the following four points have in common?

The manipulated DC legal case surrounding the Awan brothers; and how they escaped full accountability, likely due to need to protect politicians. (House of Representatives) The sweetheart plea deal.

The manipulated DC legal case surrounding SSCI Security Director James Wolfe; and how he was allowed to plea only to lying to investigators when the evidence was clear from the outset how he leaked classified information to his journalist concubine. Again, likely due to the need to protect politicians. (SSCI, Senate) The sweetheart plea deal.

The manipulated DC legal case surrounding Obama lawyer Greg Craig; and how he escaped accountability for FARA violations by running out the statute of limitations and burying Mueller’s evidence for 18 months. Again, likely due to the need to protect politicians (Obama White House). Sweetheart double standards.

The manipulated DC legal case, a non-filing, surrounding former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe for lying to INSD investigators about his media leaks. Again, likely due to the need to protect the administrative state. Criminal referral (April 19, 2018); grand jury (Approx. July 2018); Status?… Oh, wait for it….

We helped you defeat Islamic State now please help treat our wounds, say Kurds

Hassaka, Syria: Kurdish soldiers who lost limbs fighting the so-called Islamic State in Syria have been rebuffed in their efforts to get medical visas allowing them advanced care in Western countries, the Kurds’ top foreign affairs official says.

Abdul-Karim Omar, the co-chairman of foreign affairs for the Kurdish self-administration in north-eastern Syria, said many of the 20,000 soldiers wounded fighting the terrorist group on the ground could not get the high-level treatment they needed in Syria.

We have repeatedly asked all our partners in the coalition and the European countries to give the visas for helping with the treatment, but they haven’t responded," Dr Omar said.

"The injured soldiers are part of the coalition against the Islamic State. The Islamic State were the ones threatening the world.

"A lot of our injured fighters cannot be treated here … We will pay for [the treatment]. They haven’t even given us that visa. This is not fair."

A further 11,000 Kurdish soldiers were killed

After NY Supreme Court strikes down Rockland County’s ban against the unvaccinated, Bill de Blasio declares new “public health emergency,” orders mandatory vaccinations for everyone

In response to the Supreme Court of New York’s recent overturning of the unconstitutional “ban” on all unvaccinated people that was imposed in Rockland County, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio declared his own “public health emergency,” mandating that people in certain parts of Williamsburg who were potentially exposed to the virus be vaccinated.

According to reports, de Blasio is citing some 250 measles cases that have been confirmed in the Brooklyn neighborhood since September as necessitating forced vaccinations in four different zip codes. In de Blasio’s view, the only proper response to this “outbreak” is to require that all unvaccinated people who live or work in zip codes 11205, 11206, 11221, and 11249 be vaccinated with MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella).

“We have a situation now where children are in danger,” de Blasio, who sees nothing wrong with murdering babies both inside and outside the womb, stated during a recent news conference. “We have to take this seriously. Every one of us has to feel responsibility for the situation because measles is so contagious, can spread so quickly.”

Knowles: UMKC incident a 'warning shot' to conservatives (VIDEO)

Conservative commentator Michael Knowles said Thursday night's UMKC incident was a "warning shot" to conservatives.

Knowles called the backlash to his "Men are not Women" speech "fascism as clear as fascism can be."

Conservative commentator Michael Knowles said on Fox News' Tucker Carlson Tonight that the incident at the University of Missouri-Kansas City on Thursday, in which he was doused with a bleach-like, non-toxic substance, was a "warning shot" to conservatives of what could happen if they continue to speak their minds.

One person was arrested Thursday night during Knowles' "Men are not Women" speech. Initial reports indicated that the individual who was arrested and later charged with multiple counts threw bleach at Knowles. Other reports suggested the substance was paint. However, the substance has since been confirmed to have been a non-toxic material.

"The university abandoned every one of its conservative students and it encouraged the agitators and it encouraged the violence"

Despite what it was, though, Knowles suggested this incident should serve as a wake-up call for conservatives across the country.
