'BLM and Antifa Are Part of Global Marxist Effort to Destroy US' - Professor
George Floyd protesters and "Black Lives Matter" activists have been calling for defunding police and redirecting funds to other areas, such as education and housing. Following violent clashes at rallies across the country, the Minneapolis City Council pledged to disband the local police department and completely reorganise law enforcement.
Dr Carol M. Swain, retired Professor of Political Science and Law at Vanderbilt University and the host of Be the People News podcast, has addressed the ongoing protests in the United States sparked by the death of George Floyd, an African American man, who died in Minneapolis police custody on 25 May, and offered her views on the potential consequences the clashes between the police and protesters may lead to.

Russian and Syrian warplanes target Idlib countryside as ceasefire detiorates
BEIRUT, LEBANON (2:45 P.M.) – The Russian and Syrian air forces intensified their flights over the Idlib Governorate on Tuesday, as they respond to the latest attacks by the jihadist forces in the Al-Ghaab Plain.
According to a field report from northwestern Syria, the Russian and Syrian air forces launched strikes inside the Hama and Idlib governorates, with the primary target being the militant forces along the front-lines.
The report said the Russian and Syrian warplanes heavily target the whereabouts of the Turkestan Islamic Party (TIP), Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham (HTS), and Hurras Al-Deen, which are the primary jihadist groups in northwest Syria.
These airstrikes by the Russian and Syrian air forces come just hours after the Hurras Al-Deen launched a powerful attack on the Syrian Arab Army’s (SAA) positions near the town of Tanjara in the Al-Ghaab Plain.
The attack resulted in heavy losses for the Hurras Al-Deen group, who later withdrew their forces following the arrival of Syrian Arab Army reinforcements and Russian airstrikes.

North Korea cuts all ties with South amid heightened tensions
BEIRUT, LEBANON (2:20 P.M.) – The Korean Central News Agency reported that North Korea cut all ties with its southern neighbor, because the latter’s authorities have brought the inter-Korean relations to an “end point.”
“We have come to the conclusion that we no longer have anything to discuss at the negotiating table with the South Korean authorities, which over time is only disappointing,” the agency quoted the North Korean leadership as saying.
They confirmed that the authorities in Pyongyang “decided to cut off all communication channels” in South Korea.
The agency noted that the decision to cut ties was taken as a result of a meeting held Monday, on a review of the performance of the departments concerned with South Korean affairs, in which it was emphasized that “South Korea’s affairs should be seen as affairs with the enemies.”
The statement added: “After considering our interim plans to deal with the enemies to precisely settle accounts with traitors and scum on their crimes, a directive was issued first to cut all lines of communication entirely between the north and the south.”
The decision to cut ties will take effect from 12:00 on Tuesday, June 9.

Taiwanese Air Force intercepts Chinese warplanes in new show of force
BEIRUT, LEBANON (1:30 P.M.) – On Tuesday, the Taiwan Air Force sent aircraft to intercept Chinese fighters who approached the island, which Beijing considers part of its territory, while the tensions between the two sides entered a possibly dangerous military dimension.
The Taiwan Ministry of Defense said their air force had warned a number of Chinese fighter planes that they had briefly entered its air defense zone in the southwest of the island.
The ministry said that the Chinese fighters were the Russian-made Su-30 warplanes, one of the most advanced in China.
“The Taiwan Air Force warned the Chinese fighters and asked them to leave immediately,” they said.
According to Reuters, they noted that “the Taiwan air fighters confronted them and forced them to leave.”
Taiwan has complained that China has intensified its military activities in recent months, threatening its security, while China says it is carrying out such exercises regularly.
In the same context, the United States intensified its military activities near the island as well, with semi-regular naval incursions across the narrow Taiwan Strait.
The Taiwan Ministry of Defense said in a separate statement on Tuesday that the American C-40A plane, a military version of the Boeing 737, entered Taiwan’s airspace with permission, although it did not land at any Taiwan airport.
According to Reuters, the American plane took off from the Japanese island of Okinawa, where there is a major American air base, and it flew over northern and western Taiwan on its way to Southeast Asia.
It is noteworthy to mention that Washington and Taipei (the capital of Taiwan) do not have formal diplomatic relations, but the United States is the strongest international supporter and major supplier of arms to Taiwan, which brings another source of tension between the United States and China.

Police chief ousted for backing ‘gun-toting’ vigilantes who defended small town from alleged ‘Antifa threat’
Amid rumors of an impending Antifa invasion, a number of armed individuals gathered in the small town of Snohomish, Washington, and were praised for doing so by the town’s sheriff. He has now been demoted for his support.
Snohomish Police Chief Keith Rogers was ousted amid a slew of complaints after his vocal support for a gathering of several hundred “armed vigilantes” who converged on the town of 9,000 inhabitants on May 31.
Rogers was criticized for referring to the gathering as a “festive night of tailgating and celebratory pleasantries.” Despite drawing the ire of many online activists, the top cop received the support of Snohomish Mayor John Kartak.
“On Sunday, May 31, we received notification that opportunistic punks had chosen Snohomish as a target to deploy mayhem and violence,” the mayor wrote in an online statement.
Over 500 people came together, of all races, ethnicity, ages, and genders, to deter the violence and vandalism that had been threatened to occur to our small businesses.
The outgoing chief will remain a lieutenant and will be reassigned, and the local department announced that Captain Robert Palmer will take over.

German top Special Operations unit rocked by right-wing scandal
The top Special Operations unit of the German military has once again been rocked by a right-wing scandal.
Last month, German law enforcement officers, in conjunction with the German military intelligence agency (MAD), raided the residence of a sergeant major who was assigned to the Kommando Spezialkrafte (KSK), the Tier 1 Special Operations unit of the German military. They found smuggled explosives, weapons, and ammunition. The senior non-commissioned officer was arrested and promptly kicked out of the unit.
Brigadier General Markus Kreitmayr, the commander of the KSK, wrote a letter to his troops, cautioning that “In the midst of our community, there were and obviously still are individuals who have been and still are part of the so-called right spectrum.” He warned that those with such affiliations will be kicked out of the unit.
The infiltration of right-wing extremist into the German military in general, and its Special Operations units in particular, is by no means novel. Last December, SOFREP reported that German counterintelligence had uncovered three operators with far-right affiliations.
Now, Eva Högl, a German politician with the Social Democratic Party (SDP), has been assigned to lead a task force that will deal with extremism in the German armed forces.

Biden Spent $1.6 Million In One Day On Facebook Ads Condemning Trump For Fanning The ‘Flames Of White Supremacy’
Former Vice President Joe Biden’s campaign poured more than $1 million into Facebook ads in one day skewering President Donald Trump for fanning the flames of hatred amid protests over police brutality, an archive of ad spending showed.
The presumptive Democratic nominee spent roughly the same amount of money in less than a week on Facebook as he did throughout the past year of his campaign, The New York Times reported Monday.
Biden spent $1.6 million on June 4, tripling that of Trump’s one-day record, according to TheNYT. The Daily Caller News Foundation confirmed the report through Facebook’s ad archive.

US Army Is Now Considering Renaming Federal Bases That Honor Confederate Leaders
United States Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy is reportedly now “open” to changing the names of 10 federal bases named after Confederate leaders of the Civil War.
Defense Secretary Mark Esper is also now amenable to discussing the change, Army spokesman Col. Sunset Belinsky told Politico Monday. As recently as February, military officials told the Army Times that there were “no plans to rename any street or installation, including those named for Confederate generals.”
The Army has dismissed the issue in the past, arguing that the bases named after generals like Braxton Bragg and John Bell Hood commemorate the individual heroism of soldiers and not that of the Confederacy

RINOs Urge President Trump NOT to Campaign Against Worthless Murkowski in 2022

Murkowski represents Alaska, a deep red state, but frequently unloads on President Trump while defending the left.

LA says it won’t seek criminal charges or fines from hundreds of arrested protesters
Faced with growing criticism over the arrests of hundreds of peaceful demonstrators, top Los Angeles law enforcement officials said Sunday they will not pursue criminal or financial penalties against the protesters.
The decision follows complaints by many of those arrested that they spent hours in plastic handcuffs in crammed buses without justification, leaving them with injuries and potentially exposing them to the coronavirus. Many of those were taken into custody last week for either violating curfew rules or failing to disperse after the Los Angeles Police Department declared their protest unlawful.
A lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California and Black Lives Matter L.A. claims the curfews illegally suppressed constitutionally protected protests and violated people’s freedom of movement. The organizations have also decried videos that show police officers responding with violence to protesters, including swinging batons and firing foam and sponge projectiles.
Those advocates said the city’s new stance does not resolve all the concerns outlined in the lawsuit. They added that officials shouldn’t waffle on repercussions but rather dismiss the charges immediately.
