ReplyDeleteThe chief police witness in Parliament said that an investigating officer, tears streaming down his face, rushed out of the Bataclan and vomited in front of him just after seeing the disfigured bodies. According to this testimony, Wahhabist killers apparently gouged out eyes, castrated victims, and shoved their testicles in their mouths. They may also have disemboweled some poor souls. Women were stabbed in the genitals – and the torture was, victims told police, filmed for Daesh or Islamic State propaganda. For that reason, medics did not release the bodies of torture victims to the families, investigators said."

DeleteCheck out the crime statistics for Dearborn. I'm confident you will find they mimic those of the average city their size around the country.

.
DeleteLike Israel doesn't KNOW where Abbas lives?
Why would Israel want to get rid of Abbas? He is the perfect foil. Whenever they need a scapegoat he is perfect. Need to increase settlements? No problem, blame Abbas for something and then use him as an excuse for building more settlements. If they didn't have Abbas they would have to invent him.
The same applies to the Hamas terror attacks. I've said they are nutz. They are also counterproductive. They provide the excuse for Israel's continued settlement building. The PA and the Palestinians are losing the optics. Their goals are the victim of the victims.
Abbas is not the first. Arafat was at a nadir prior to Oslo. He had backed Sadaam in the first Iraq war. As a result, Israel would still enter into nominal two-state discussions with the Palestinians but refused to have anything to do with the PLO. Arafat was in exile in Tunisia. Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the Gulf States all cut out support for Arafat and the PLO. The US did the same thing. Then out of nowhere Israel starts holding secret talks with Arafat and they come out with the basis for the Oslo Accords.
Why would Israel even think of negotiating with Arafat?
It appears obvious to me. Arafat was weak and he was corrupt. What more could Israel ask for?
Why do you think Abbas is now refusing to enter into 'bilateral' negotiations with Israel, choosing instead to take his case to an international forum. You can't have a real negotiation when one side is so much more powerful than the other? You have a monologue.
The pattern is clear. Israel demands bilateral negotiations. The US supports them in this demand. The kabuki begins. The key issues are put off until last so that 'progress' can me alleged. But the rules say you don't have an agreement until everything is agreed upon. But of course, the talks never reach the point of talking about final issues. The big stall continues. The settlement building continues. Eventually, the Palestinian street gets fed up both with the Israelis and with their own leaders, as well as, with the lack of any progress in the talks. They strike out. Israel says the talks can't continue until the terrorism stops. The settlement building continues. The violence continues for awhile and eventually peters out. After time passes, the process starts again. Wash, rinse, repeat. The only constant the settlements keep growing.
The end-game is obvious.

'We bought all this lovely shopping and now I can't be bothered with it. It doesn't mean anything now,' she said.
On Friday morning, Nesbitt-Comaskey issued a grovelling apology for her remarks via Facebook. She claimed that she was understandably 'in shock' at the time after witnessing the horrific events and misspoke while speaking to journalists.

Your views and those of people like you here sound like something out of Deliverance you old coot. Since Trump put these crazy ideas in your simple minds we might as well have 'Dueling Banjos' as the bar's theme.
Wow quirk you mind goes to the gutter pretty darn fast.
Ending mass immigration of moslems, who are not vettable, is hardly ass rape....
there are 51 members of the OIC, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, they are tasked to help the Islamic community.
Why should moslems be brought to the pagan nipple freeing west?
Where dudes are chicks, gays are protected by the law not to be stoned, women show off their tits (if we are lucky) and they don't speak the language.
Why should they NOT be resettled into the the Umma?
Why must you say this the same as anal rape?

Very confusing.
ReplyDeleteBut if one statement is true, that the Police are firing on the people, that is bad for Erdogan, for, if I understand the situation correctly, the Police support Erdogan, and then the people do not.
The military seems to have killed something under 20 Police in an air attack on some Police headquarters somewhere.
There are of course dueling narratives, some 'sources' saying the coup is defeated, others not, all serving their own interests.

ReplyDeleteRasmussen isn’t the only poll showing Trump with a national lead now
posted at 7:21 pm on July 15, 2016 by Allahpundit
As noted yesterday, from mid-May until this morning the one and only national poll with Trump actually ahead of Clinton was Rasmussen. Which was a sweet pretty niche for Ras, given what it meant in terms of traffic from Trump superfan Matt Drudge.
But all things must pass. New from the brand new USC/LA Times tracking poll: Trump 43, Clinton 40.
The poll shows big gaps along the lines of race, gender, age and education that have surfaced consistently during the campaign. Through Thursday’s results, Trump led among men, 47% to 36%, while Clinton had a smaller, 41%-34% edge among women. Trump led among voters 45 and older, Clinton among those younger.
Some of Trump’s strongest support comes from white voters who have not graduated from college, among whom he led 53% to 24%. Clinton, by contrast, dominates among minorities, leading 77% to 3% among blacks and 51% to 30% among Latinos.
Clinton also held a narrow edge among white college graduates, 42% to 40%. If she wins that group, Clinton would be the first Democrat to carry white college graduates since polls began asking such demographic questions in the early 1950s.
Reasons to question the result: The poll is, as I said, brand new, and just because Rasmussen’s not out on the limb by itself anymore doesn’t mean it’s not out on the limb. This result is awfully hard to square with those gruesome NBC battleground polls this morning. Reasons not to question the result: This actually makes three national polls in a row showing Trump tied or ahead. Ras is one, of course, and the other was yesterday’s NYT/CBS survey putting Trump and Clinton each at 40 percent. Whatever the true number is, there’s solid evidence that Hillary was damaged last week either by Comey’s Emailgate announcement, the police ambush in Dallas, or both. The demographic splits in the LA Times poll seem plausible too. The tilt among college and non-college voters is familiar, as are the age and gender divisions. The really striking number, though, is Clinton’s lead among Latinos. 51/30 is shockingly poor given Obama’s 71/27 domination of that group four years ago; if the LAT is right, Trump is already outpolling Romney with room to grow. Nor is this the only poll recently to show him doing better than expected with Latinos. McClatchy’s survey from a few days ago had Hillary with a strikingly similar 52/26 advantage. Hard to believe a Democrat would be stuck in the low 50s among a core group, but the numbers are what they are....

ReplyDelete.
DeleteInitially this thing looked well planned. Now, I'm not so sure.
If they lose they are dead.
If they lose, they will have provided Erdogan with the excuse to get what he always wanted, dictatorial power.
They made some serious mistakes. They weren't able to get their hands on Erdogan. They didn't close down all the major media so Erdogan was able to keep talking and rallying his supporters. Now, Erdogan has reached additional media outlets.
Through previous coups, the army has never attacked the public. Now, half the country hates Erdogan while the other half loves him. It looked like it was the Erdogan people who took to the streets at his urging and confronted the military. Now, the military loses if they confront the protesters and they lose if they allow them to dictate the terms.
Hard to say were this will go. I guess it depends on how far the military is willing to go or how nervous they get about their fate if they lose.
.
If they lose they are dead.
DeleteQuirk
One might as well not get nervous then, but fight like hell, there being no option of surrendering.
Fox had one short video that seemed to show some crowds cheering the military. On the other hand the crowds cheered Erdogan at the airport.
The military must have lost control of the airport, but who took it from them ?
All very confusing.
Now, half the country hates Erdogan while the other half loves him.
Quirk
Maybe it will turn into a three or four year slugfest, like in Spain in the 1930's.
Who knows ?
Would have been wonderful if the military could have shot down Erdogan's plane while landing.

ReplyDeleteThe Turkish National Intelligence Organization (MIT) says a coup attempt in the country has been "repelled" and the situation has been restored to “normal”.
In comments carried by Turkish broadcaster NTV on Saturday morning, the MIT spokesman said the intelligence agency’s headquarters was targeted by hijacked military helicopters, but the coup attempt was "foiled”.
Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim also announced in the early hours of Saturday morning that the situation is largely under control and that a no-fly zone was imposed over the capital Ankara.
Yildirim added that Chief of Military Staff Hulusi Akar and other high-ranking commanders are now in charge of the situation. The country’s state news agency had earlier reported that Akar was being “held hostage” at the military headquarters.
According to Reuters, Turkey’s state broadcaster TRT is also now back on air.
Citing witnesses, Reuters also reported that some 30 soldiers in the coup attempt surrendered their weapons to police in Istanbul’s Taksim Square.
An NTV report said a Turkish Air Force F-16 jet shot down a Sikorsky helicopter operated by the army group attempting the coup.
Hours earlier, the Turkish military said it had fully seized control of the country and that the rule of law must remain a priority.
"The power in the country has been seized in its entirety," said a military statement read on NTV television, without giving further details.
The statement went on to say that the military aims to "reinstall the constitutional order, democracy, human rights and freedoms," and "to ensure that the rule of law once again reigns in the country, for the law and order to be reinstated."
"All international agreements and commitments will remain. We pledge that good relations with all world countries will continue," the military statement added.
It further vowed to try all those who “have betrayed the country” in “fair courts.”
Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Saturday that bloodshed should be avoided in Turkey, and that the situation should be settled within a constitutional framework. He also called on his countrymen in Turkey to stay indoors.
DeleteThe Russian foreign minister made the statement during a joint press conference with his US counterpart John Kerry, who also expressed hope for peace in Turkey.
“I hope there will be stability and peace and continuity within Turkey, but I have nothing to add on what has transpired at this moment,” Kerry was quoted by US media as saying.
European Union foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini called for "restraint" in Turkey after the attempted coup.
"In constant contact with EU Delegation in Ankara & Brussels from Mongolia. Call for restraint and respect for democratic institutions #Turkey," she wrote in a tweeted from a regional summit in Ulaanbaatar.
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg also said in a statement that the Western military alliance supports Turkey’s democratic institutions.
“I call for calm and restraint, and for full respect for Turkey’s democratic institutions and its constitution. Turkey is a valued NATO ally,” Stoltenberg said. “I have just spoken to Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu. I am following events in Turkey closely and with concern.”
I think it is safe to say if the coup fails, Turkey will become more of an Islamist state.

Women were stabbed in the genitals – and the torture was, victims told police, filmed for Daesh or Islamic State propaganda. For that reason, medics did not release the bodies of torture victims to the families, investigators said."

Wow Quirk I see you are a patriot, but the question arrises for what nation?
From the statement and the context, it's easy to see WiO's idea of a patriot.
Torture? Sure, why not?
Extraordinary rendition? Of course. Why get your hands dirty when you can pay some a-hole in the ME to do it for you?
Abusing prisoners? Why even ask?
Pictures get leaked. Hire contractors to do it.
All those studies by the CIA and the military saying torture doesn't work and can be counter-productive? No problem. Just hire a couple of sadistic psychologists that for a few million bucks will tell you anything you want to hear.
But what about the law, the U.S. and international? Not a problem. Lawyers are a dime a dozen. Easy to find someone who will tell you what you want to hear. However, declare their opinions (those of the psychologists too) as top secret so that you don't have to defend them in public.
What about Western culture, ideals, mores? Fuck em.
And if you think it's all bullshit? In WiO world, you certainly are no patriot. But that's how WiO rolls. Must be his culture and tradition.
