11 dead in Syria clashes between Russia troops and pro-Iran militias

At least 11 people have been killed in escalating clashes between Russian forces and pro-Iranian militias in the city of Aleppo, amid strained relations between the two Assad allies, news agency Syria Call has reported.

A Russian military source acknowledged the death of 11 people, including two children and three women, whilst 11 others are believed to have been injured in the violence. Clashes reportedly broke out near a vegetable market in Khaldiya, which quickly escalated to the use of heavy weaponry, with some ground-to-air missiles fired on nearby areas within the city, resulting in the civilian casualties.

Although both Russia and Iran have supported the Syrian regime of President Bashar Al-Assad, tensions have been rising in government-controlled territories over administrative issues, with both forces competing for public influence.

The management of checkpoints has also become contentious, with Russian troops and Iranian militants charging royalties for crossings, by which they can generate huge profits on a daily basis, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

Instagram closes account of head of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards

Instagram has closed the account of Major-General Qassem Soleimani, the commander of the Quds Force. As a result, Soleimani lost his 888,000 followers.

The move comes as the media giant seeks to comply with the US’ decision to designate the military force on its list of “foreign terrorist organisations”.

In response, the Iranian Supreme National Security Council designated the United States Central Command, also known as CENTCOM, and all its forces as terrorists and labelled the US as a “supporter of terrorism”.

Tensions between Washington and Tehran have escalated after US President Donald Trump announced America’s unilateral withdrawal from the nuclear deal signed with Iran in 2015 and re-imposed economic sanctions which had previously been lifted under the agreement.

Heavy overnight shelling of residential areas in Tripoli fighting – acknowledged by both sides

Tripoli experienced a third night of shelling last night as missiles, reported by both sides as Grad, fell on a number of residential areas including the Abu Sleem (Busleem) and Salah Al-Deen districts.

In the huge and ever-escalating (mis) information war, both sides in the Tripoli fighting acknowledged the falling of missiles on residential areas – but blamed them on each other.

Abu Sleem Municipality reported that the multiple missiles fell on the Hay Al-Intisar and Salah Al-Deen districts. It reported 4 deaths and more than 26 casualties. It said 7 are critical and 4 suffered amputations.

The night attack led to a spontaneous demonstration by Tripoli residents in the small hours of this morning in condemnation of the attack on defenceless residents in their homes. There were demonstrations in Misrata and Zuwara too.

Gun Control Advocates Want Banks to Refuse Service to Gun Companies

Anti-gun activists and politicians are doing everything they can to effectively disarm the public.

Already this year, extreme and unconstitutional gun control measures have been proposed at the state and federal levels. There has been a lot of pushback, thankfully: a growing number of counties (and even some states) have declared themselves Second Amendment sanctuaries and are refusing to enforce gun-control laws that infringe on the Constitutional right to keep and bear arms. Sheriffs in Washington, Colorado, and New Mexico have publicly stated they will refuse to enforce new gun control legislation – and some are even willing to be jailed for their defiance.

Two extreme gun control bills have already passed the House this year and are awaiting Senate votes (they are unlikely to pass there, experts say).

Gun-grabbers are working on another target: banks.

Gun control advocates “are seeking to use access to financial services as a means to punish and suppress lawful firearm-related commerce,” writes the NRA in Pro-Gun Senators Introduce Bill to Prohibit Discrimination in Financial Services:

Spain returns stolen material to North Korean embassy in Madrid, say sources

Authorities in Spain have returned material that was stolen from the embassy of North Korea in Madrid by a group of raiders in February, according to a source that spoke to the Reuters news agency. The unprecedented attack took place in the afternoon of February 22 in a quiet neighborhood of northern Madrid, where the North Korean embassy is located. Ten assailants, all Asian-looking men, entered the three-story building from the main gate, brandishing guns, which were later found to be fake. They tied up and gagged the embassy’s staff and some visitors to the embassy. After several hours spent inside the buildings, the assailants abandoned the building in two embassy vehicles that were later found abandoned.

A few weeks following the raid, a North Korean dissident group calling itself Cheollima Civil Defense —also known as Free Joseon— claimed responsibility for the attack. Cheollima Civil Defense is North Korea’s first known active resistance group. Its members call for the overthrow of the Kim dynasty. Subsequent reports said that some of those who took part in the embassy raided fled to the United States and approached the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) with an offer to hand over computer hardware and telephones captured in the attack. On Tuesday, the Reuters news agency reported that the FBI “returned the material [to Spanish authorities] two weeks ago”, and that Spanish police handed it over to the North Koreans. Citing “a Spanish judicial source”, Reuters said that American authorities returned the material directly to the Spanish court that is investigating the raid.

Nationalist Finns Party second largest in Finnish election – Social Democrats won by 0.1% margin, and will form coalition government

The leader of Finland’s centre-left Social Democratic party (SDP), Antti Rinne, declared victory in the general election after almost complete results showed his party winning by a razor-thin margin with 17.7%.

“For the first time since 1999 we are the largest party in Finland… SDP is the prime minister party”, Rinne said after more than 99.5% of votes were counted.

The nationalist, Eurosceptic Finns party (PS) was in second place with 17.6%, according to nearly complete results published by the justice ministry.

If final results confirm the outcome, Rinne could become Finland’s first left-wing prime minister since 2003. But the process of putting together a coalition could be drawn out because of a fragmented parliament. The very close result will make negotiations to form the next coalition government particularly fraught.

Earlier results in the election, which comes amid mounting concern among voters over the future of the country’s expensive welfare system, had also given strong showings for the centre-right National Coalition party, chaired by the outgoing finance minister, Petteri Orpo, and the Centre party, of the prime minister, Juha Sipilä.

A strong showing by the Finns party will complicate coalition talks, with most party leaders ruling out any cooperation with it.

On Sunday night Rinne said he “has questions” for the Finns Party and did not rule out cooperating with them to form a majority.

Twitter Says Goodbye to SPLC

SAN FRANCISCO, CA—Twitter has finally distanced itself from the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) after the implosion regarding the ongoing sexual harassment, racial discrimination and donor deception inside the organization. The SPLC hypocritically labels Christian, pro-family, and conservative nonviolent groups, such as Liberty Counsel, as “hate groups.”

According to The Daily Caller, an anonymous source from Twitter confirmed that “The SPLC is not a member of Twitter’s Trust and Safety Council as a ‘safety partner’ working to combat ‘hateful conduct and harassment’ and providing ‘input on our safety products, policies, and programs.’”

.

The four major social media companies in Silicon Valley, Facebook, Amazon, Google and Twitter, worked with or consulted the SPLC as early as June 2018 to help police their platforms for “hate speech” or “hate groups.” Twitter appears to be the only one to now completely separate itself from the SPLC.

The SPLC is on a list of “external experts and organizations” that Facebook works with “to inform our hate speech policies,” according to a Facebook spokeswoman. Amazon also grants the SPLC broad policing power over the Amazon Smile charitable program. “We remove organizations that the SPLC deems as ineligible,” an Amazon spokeswoman told The Daily Caller in 2018. Google was also exposed in 2018 for secretly using the SPLC to assist YouTube in policing content on its platform.

"We the People" Demanding the Right to Life!

The bitter controversy and very divisive battle over abortion have raged for decades in the United States, but it has intensified in 2019. The cultural debate has definitely become a real nationwide battle raging in America over the killing of babies, even in late-term pregnancies, by abortionists (non-doctors), abortion doctors, and abortion mills like Planned Parenthood. The battle started as the newly elected Democrat majority took the House of Representatives. Without wasting time, they immediately passed legislation that directly supported abortions worldwide, as well as other pro-choice initiatives. In February, the Senate rejected “The Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act (Senate bill S.311) that would have protected the lives of born babies.

.

The Democrats in various states also took the offensive—New York leading the way with the legislation permitting abortions up to nine months, providing no stipulation that abortionists be doctors, and providing no protection for babies born alive. Essentially, legalizing infanticide! Now, Vermont and Illinois have also introduced bills that would permit abortion up until birth. Yet, even though there has been the anti-life onslaught and the battle seemed to be tipping in favor of the pro-choice and Democrat agenda, there is hope on the horizon for the pro-life proponents. Last week, the GOP-controlled legislature in Ohio passed S.B.23, known as The Human Rights and Heartbeat Protection Act. Gov. Mike DeWine signed the bill into law.

Take a look at the world

And the state that it's in today

I am sure you'll agree

We all could make it a better way

With our love, put together

Everybody learn to love each other

Instead of fussing and fighting

Cheating, backbiting

Scandalizing and hating

Baby we could have a

Wonderful world, beautiful people

You and your girl, things could be pretty

Boxing: Iranian female fighter cancels return home after arrest warrant issued

PARIS (Reuters) - The first Iranian woman to contest an official boxing bout has canceled plans to return home after an arrest warrant was issued for her in Tehran, her representative said on Wednesday as Iranian authorities issued a denial.

Sadaf Khadem beat a French boxer, Anne Chauvin, in the bout, which took place in western France on Saturday.

Her representative, Clara Dallay, told Reuters that authorities had issued arrest warrants against her and fight organizer Mahyar Monshipour.

Monshipour, an Iranian-born former boxing world champion who is now a French citizen, set up the bout after Iran opened the door to allowing women to box.

Hossein Soori, the head of Iran's boxing federation, denied Khadem would be arrested, attributing the information to "media linked to Saudi Arabia".

"Mrs Khadem is not a member of (Iran’s) organized athletes for boxing, and from the boxing federation’s perspective all her activities are personal," he was quoted as saying by the semi-official ISNA news agency.

More American Troops to Afghanistan, To Keep the Chinese Out? Lithium and the Battle for Afghanistan’s Mineral Riches

Barely a few months ago (August 2018), Trump was calling for an escalation of the war in Afghanistan. Why?

It was presented to public opinion as part of America’s “Global War on Terrorism”, going after the bad guys.

And now Trump is calling for the withdrawal of US troops. Will it take place?

Why were US-NATO troops sent to Afghanistan on October 7, 2001?

The official story is that Afghanistan was a “State sponsor” of Al Qaeda (led by Osama bin Laden) which had attacked the U.S. on September 11, 2001.

Below is the BBC report (December 21, 2018) echoing the official narrative, following Trump’s announcement that some 7000 US troops will be leaving Afghanistan.
