NHS doctor and UK pharmacist who became Nazi-style torturers for ISIS: Team of vile medics took organs from prisoners and gave them to wounded terrorists

Two British health workers who sneaked into Islamic State territory carried out ‘Nazi-style’ medical experiments on prisoners, Syrian witnesses claim.

Issam Abuanza, 40, a former NHS doctor who left behind his wife and two children in Sheffield when he travelled to Syria in 2014, was appointed the terror group’s ‘health minister’, the British Government believes.

Abuanza, now thought to be hiding in caves near the village of Baghouz, carried out such brutal torture on his victims that even IS fighters opposed it.

He appointed Mohammad Anwar Miah, also 40, a former pharmacist from Birmingham, who helped him remove organs from detained prisoners, the Syrian witnesses claim.

The body parts were either transplanted into injured jihadis, passed on to middle men who sold them on the black market to fund terror, or put in the cells of prisoners to frighten them, it is alleged.

A ten-man medical team headed by Abuanza also allegedly carried out chemical tests on prisoners, it is claimed.

The exact nature of the chemicals are unknown.

The allegations are at odds with Miah’s account of his years with the group, which he gave to the Daily Mail from northern Syria just weeks ago.

This newspaper has since been able to piece together an extraordinary alternative account of the pair’s lives inside the brutal terrorist organisation.

Details of their alleged roles come from activist group Sound and Picture, whose members lived under the jihadis’ rule and closely followed their activities.

What is ATT, the arms treaty Trump just withdrew the US from?

The ATT was endorsed by the UN General Assembly in April 2013, and entered into force on December 23, 2014. It was joined by 101 countries, and is in effect in 100 of them. Another 29 countries signed the treaty but have not ratified it yet.

According to the Arms Control Association, the ATT aims to “reduce human suffering caused by illegal and irresponsible arms transfers, improve regional security and stability,” and “promote accountability and transparency” in sales of conventional arms by governments. The treaty “does not impact a state’s domestic gun control laws or other firearm ownership policies,” says the association.

However, the ATT requires member nations to “establish and maintain a national control system, including a national control list” and “designate competent national authorities” to regulate the sale of conventional weapons.

Once ratified, international treaties become binding US law and supersede the Constitution, former Pentagon official Michael Maloof told RT. It is possible the ATT could have been used to attack the Second Amendment – but with Trump canceling it, that becomes a moot point.

The treaty applies not just to military hardware like tanks and other armored vehicles, artillery, combat airplanes and helicopters, warships, missiles and missile launchers, but also “small arms and light weapons.”

The ATT also requires signatories to “establish and maintain a national control system to regulate the export of ammunition/munitions fired, launched or delivered by” the weapons listed above, as well as “parts and components…that provide the capability to assemble” them.

“I have never seen a report that says this treaty has been effective in any way, shape or form,” Maloof told RT.

Even if none of these provisions had potentially problematic implications for the internal US trade in arms and ammunition, abiding by the treaty would have put a crimp into the weapons business – and US arms manufacturers dominate that industry globally in terms of sheer volume.

According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), which tracks global weapons sales, the US arms industry accounted for 57 percent of the total Top 100 arms sales in 2017. While Russia is ranked second, its entire output ($37.7 billion) lagged behind just one US company, Lockheed Martin ($44.9 billion).

The ATT also called for heightened scrutiny of arms sales in cases where they “could be used to commit or facilitate serious violations of international humanitarian or human rights law, acts of terrorism, or transnational organized crime” as well as “commit or facilitate serious acts of gender-based violence or violence against women and children.”

‘How is this not meddling?’ Twitter bans Tommy Robinson, Sargon of Akkad campaign accounts

Campaign accounts of two British candidates for the European Parliament, Tommy Robinson and Carl Benjamin, have been deleted by Twitter, prompting outcries of election meddling with less than a month before the vote.

Robinson and Benjamin – better known under his YouTube handle ‘Sargon of Akkad’ – are running in the May 23 election, which the UK will have to participate in due to the ongoing Brexit delays. Benjamin is a member of the UK Independence Party (UKIP), while Robinson announced his independent candidacy on Thursday.Both of them have had personal accounts purged from Twitter a while ago, but the accounts terminated on Friday were run by their campaign staff, and not them personally.

“We are investigating why, but strongly suspect this is a deliberate act of political censorship to deny a candidate his voice in a crucial election,” Benjamin’s campaign staffer Michael De La Broc said, adding the campaign will complain to the election authorities and maybe even seek restitution in court for “political interference by a foreign entity in our elections.”

UKIP has also declared the ban “election interference” and vowed to “get to the bottom” of the issue.

Rubio says hackers penetrated Florida elections systems

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) told The New York Times on Friday that hackers penetrated a Florida county’s elections system in 2016.

Rubio's comments come a week after special counsel Robert Mueller’s report revealed that Russians sent malicious software to Florida county government officials overseeing the 2016 election.

Rubio, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, told The Times that there was an intrusion into a county’s elections system but that the target or targets were not notified.

He said national security officials opted to issue a blanket warning about hacking efforts as a way to protect intelligence methods.

Rubio and former Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) wrote a letter to Florida’s top election official last year calling on him to seek federal assistance in securing the state’s elections systems.

A spokesperson for Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) told The Hill on Friday that “the FBI has reached out and is working on scheduling a briefing with Senator Scott in the next few weeks” to brief him and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) about the hacking detailed in Mueller’s report.

Scott, who was governor during the 2016 election, sent a letter to the FBI last week asking to confirm the hacking. For his part, DeSantis has expressed frustration with what he says is a lack of transparency from federal authorities.

“They won’t tell us which county it was, are you kidding me?” he said at a Thursday press conference in Miami. “Why would you have not said something immediately?”

AT&T CEO: Employees Need to Stop Blocking Conservatives from Advertising Platforms

According to a press release issued by the Free Enterprise Project (FEP) on Friday, AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson expressed dismay that his company was censoring certain conservative voices and preventing them from being able to advertise on some of the tech giant’s platforms, and said that such a practice needs to stop.

His reaction, the statement said, was part of a private discussion with Free Enterprise Project Director Justin Danhof, Esq., following the annual AT&T shareholder meeting in Dallas, Texas, traditionally held on the last Friday of April. According to the release, Danhof and Stephenson specifically discussed AT&T’s 2018 acquisition of AppNexus, a major online advertising platform.

“I noted that under its old CEO Brian O’Kelley, AppNexus had a practice of banning certain websites from its platform for political reasons. Stephenson indicated that AT&T had stopped this practice when it took over the platform. When I informed him that AT&T was in fact continuing O’Kelley’s practice of censoring certain websites from its ad platforms, he expressed dismay,” Danhof said. “Stephenson told me that the practice needs to stop and I agree. Now we are calling on the employees in AT&T’s digital advertising department to follow through on their boss’s calls to end this politically-motivated censorship.”

O’Kelley and his AppNexus team, already known to be incredibly liberal, responded to the election of President Donald Trump by banning certain conservative voices from their platform outright.

Less than three weeks after President Trump’s election, O’Kelley blacklisted certain conservative voices (many of whom are direct competitors and frequent critics of AT&T-owned CNN) from the AppNexus platform – and publicly encouraged other ad networks to do the same. The company claimed the decision was because, in its opinion, the targeted conservative speech equaled hate speech — a false claim used by many tech giants to silence conservative voices.

However, when asked, Josh Zeitz, AppNexus’ VP of corporate communications, couldn’t point to a single other instance in which the ad platform had banned other viewpoints as hate speech.

“I take Stephenson at his word when he said he was unaware that AT&T was continuing to ban conservative content. However, now that he is aware, and has expressed his displeasure with this practice, I expect him to move decisively to put an end to AT&T’s role as the speech police,” added Danhof.
