Priest is Chosen by Sanhedrin, Temple Service Could Be One Week Away
Headline: Sanhedrin Appoints High Priest in Preparation for Third Temple
A significant step was recently taken towards reinstating the Temple service when the nascent Sanhedrin selected Rabbi Baruch Kahane as the next Kohen Gadol (high priest). The selection was made as a precaution for Yom Kippur. If the political conditions should change, allowing the Jews access to the Temple Mount, they will be required by Torah law to bring the sacrifices. Rabbi Kahane is confident that if that should happen, Temple service could begin in less than one week. This year has already seen much Temple-oriented activity: the Temple Institute has created a registry of kohanim; established a school for educating men of the priestly class in the details of the Temple service; and performed reenactments on all the holidays, including the especially significant Passover sacrifice. “We do not need a miraculous occurrence like the sudden appearance of a Temple descending from heaven onto the Temple Mount to make this decision relevant,” explained Rabbi Weiss. “The only obstacle preventing the Temple service today is the political issue. If that should suddenly change, as it very well could, we would be required to begin the Temple service immediately. It is therefore necessary that we have a candidate prepared to fill the role of the High Priest, especially now that we have kohanim prepared to serve in the Temple.”

Headline: Hamas recently opened offices in Tunisia, official says
Hamas recently opened up official offices in the Tunisian capital, Tunis, a senior leader from the terror group revealed on Sunday. Moussa Abu Marzouk told the Tunisian news channel el-Bilad that Hamas has “new-old” offices in Tunis, publicly acknowledging the headquarters for the first time. The Hamas leader said the offices were opened with the blessing of the Tunisian authorities. He did not specify when the offices were opened. The Islamist terror group kept its main offices in Damascus until 2012, when war and political upheaval forced the group’s political leadership to move to Qatar. Hamas also keeps official offices in Turkey.

At least 60 people have been killed in a suicide car bombing at a military facility in the southern Yemen city of Aden, doctors say. A training camp, or compound used by the pro-government Popular Resistance militia, was hit, reports say. So-called Islamic State said it carried out the attack. It comes amid a fresh push to end Yemen’s 17-month-old war between Saudi-backed government and rebels that the UN says has left 6,600 people dead. Some 2.5 million Yemenis have also been displaced.

Syria Headline: Turkish air strikes kill at least 35 civilians in Syria
Turkey’s army and its allies thrust deeper into Syria on Sunday, seizing territory controlled by Kurdish-aligned forces on the fifth day of a cross-border campaign that a monitoring group said had killed at least 35 villagers. Turkish warplanes roared into northern Syria at daybreak and its artillery pounded what security sources said were sites held by Kurdish YPG militia, after the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported fierce overnight fighting around two villages. The Observatory, a Britain-based monitoring group with a network of sources in Syria, said Turkish-allied forces had seized two villages south of Jarablus, Jub al-Kousa and al-Amarna, that were held by militias loyal to the SDF. The fighting killed 20 civilians in Jub al-Kousa and 15 in al-Amarna, while scores more were wounded, the group said. The Observatory said rebels backed by Turkish tanks fought until dawn against rival militias allied to the SDF around al-Amarna. SDF-allied militia damaged three Turkish tanks, it said. Turkish security sources said warplanes and artillery had hit Kurdish YPG militia sites south of frontier town of Jarablus and towards Manbij, a city captured by Kurdish-aligned SDF this month in a U.S.-backed operation.

Iraq Headline: Suicide attackers kill 18 at wedding party in Iraq
Daesh group has claimed it was behind a suicide attack that killed 18 people near Karbala, southwest of Baghdad. Five attackers armed with suicide vests, rifles and grenades killed its victims at a wedding party in the oasis town of Ain Al-Tamer, southwest of Baghdad, local officials said Monday. All the attackers were killed by security forces. “They were carrying Kalashnikovs, hand grenades. One of them blew himself up and the others were killed by the security forces,” the head of the central Euphrates operations command, Qais Khalaf, said. A member of the local council and a source at the provincial health directorate confirmed the death toll in the attack, which took place late on Sunday, and said at least 26 people were also wounded. A statement on the Amaq news agency that supports Daesh said the attack was carried out by four of its suicide fighters against a “gathering of Shiites.”

Kurdish Headline: PKK vows to defend YPG from Turkish invasion into northern Syria
Turkey on Monday said one of the key aims of its unprecedented operation in northern Syria was to prevent the creation of a corridor stretching from Iraq to the edge of the Mediterranean controlled by Kurdish militia. The goal of the operation was to rid the region of Islamic State (ISIS) jihadists and prevent the Syrian Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG) militia “from completing an end-to-end corridor” across Syria, Deputy Prime Minister Numan Kurtulmus was quoted as saying by NTV television. “If that happens, it means Syria has been divided,” he added. He added that all relevant parties had been informed of Turkey’s operation in Syria which began on Wednesday, including the regime of President Bashar al-Assad who is a bitter enemy of Ankara. “All the parties concerned had been informed… including the Damascus administration. They have been informed through Russia. We are sure of this,” he said. Russia is a key remaining ally of Assad. After the Turkish army sustained its first fatality of the operation at the weekend, Kurtulmus denied Turkey was at war.

Turkey
Headline: All-out Turkish-Kurd war. Barazani goes to Tehran
Headline: No one has right to tell Turkey who it can fight
An all-out Turkish-Kurdish war has boiled over in northern Syria since the Turkish army crossed the border last Wednesday, Aug. 24 for the avowed aim of fighting the Islamic State and pushing the Syrian Kurdish YPG militia back. Instead of falling back, the Kurds went on the offensive and are taking a hammering. This raging confrontation has stalled the US-led coalition offensive against ISIS and put on indefinite hold any US plans for campaigns to drive the jihadists out of their Syrian and Iraqi capitals of Raqqa and Mosul. The Kurdish militia ground troops, who were backed by the US and assigned the star role in these campaigns, are now fully engaged in fighting Turkey. And, in another radical turnaround, Iraqi Kurdish leaders (of the Kurdish Regional Republic) have responded by welcoming Iran to their capital, in retaliation for the US decision to join forces with Turkey at the expense of Kurdish aspirations. The KRG’s Peshmerga are moreover pitching in to fight with their Syrian brothers. Together, they plan to expel American presence and influence from both northern Syria and northern Iraq in response to what they perceive as a US sellout of the Kurds. debkafile’s military analysts trace the evolving steps of this escalating complication of the Syrian war and its wider impact

Headline: Iran arrests nuclear negotiator suspected of spying
Tehran has deployed a recently delivered Russian-made long-range missile system to central Iran to protect its Fordo nuclear facility, state television said Sunday. Protecting nuclear facilities is paramount “in all circumstances” General Farzad Esmaili, the commander of Iran’s air defences, told the IRIB channel. “Today, Iran’s sky is one of the most secure in the region,” he added. A video showed an S-300 carrier truck in Fordo, raising its missile launchers toward the sky, next to other counter-strike weaponry. The images were aired hours after supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei gave a speech to air force commanders, including Esmaili, in which he stressed that Iranian military power was for defensive purposes only. “Continued opposition and hype on the S-300 or the Fordo site are examples of the viciousness of the enemy,” Khamenei said. “The S-300 system is a defence system not an assault one, but the Americans did their best for Iran not to get hold of it.” The Fordo site, built into a mountain near the city of Qom has stopped enriching uranium since the January implementation of a nuclear deal with world powers.

Headline: Afghan Forces Readying to Launch Offensive to Retake Eastern District
Afghan security forces are preparing to launch an operation to retake an eastern border district a day after it fell to the Taliban, officials said Sunday. The Islamist insurgency overran and captured Janikheil district in the eastern Paktia province on Saturday, and local authorities confirmed that dozens of Afghan forces were killed in the fighting. A spokesman for the Afghan Defense Ministry, Dawlat Waziri, told VOA Sunday “enough” forces are in the area under the leadership of the regional crops commander and preparing to stage a counter-offensive to take back Janikhil. “It is not difficult to retake the district from the Taliban but security forces are moving carefully because the insurgents have heavily mined roads in the area,” Waziri noted, adding teams of experts are currently engaged in clearing the explosives. District governor Abdul Rahman Solamal told Afghanistan’s Tolo TV Sunday a prolonged presence of the Taliban in Janikheil would improve its mobility to threaten security in neighboring provinces. The governor insisted his repeated calls for urgent help were not responded to, leading to the fall of Janikheil and he confirmed killing of at least 30 Afghan security forces in fierce battles after around 1,200 Taliban insurgents launched a decisive assault on Friday night. Janikheil sits at a key transit route that includes links to neighboring Khost province and Pakistan.

Headline: Afghanistan Partial Threat Assessment: August 28, 2016
Taliban militants are successfully expanding their territorial control across several regions of Afghanistan during their 2016 summer offensive, Operation Omari. The ANSF’s counter-offensive, Operation Shafaq has repulsed individual Taliban operations, such as the August offensive to isolate Helmand’s provincial capital, but the ANSF remain unprepared and under-resourced to conduct operations in more than one region simultaneously, despite NATO and U.S. assistance. Taliban offensives continue to limit the Afghan government’s control of terrain, thereby expanding ungoverned and remote areas where extremist networks such as ISIS and al Qaeda can reconstitute. The Afghan unity government faces a political crisis because of deadlines in September imposed by the original agreement through which it came to power. If Afghanistan remains on this course, global extremist organizations will reconstitute their sanctuaries in Afghanistan’s ungoverned spaces and pose enduring threats to U.S. national security.

Militia loyal to Libya’s unity government have suffered heavy casualties as they push into the last two areas of Sirte held by the so-called Islamic State group (IS). Hospital sources told reporters that 34 government soldiers had been killed and 150 wounded in fierce fighting. Overnight, Libyan and US warplanes carried out air strikes and mortar bombardment of districts one and three in the north of the Mediterranean city. Tanks and rocket-propelled grenades were used in the battle. The brigades loyal to the government said IS militants had deployed five car bombs on Sunday to try to stop the advance.

Tunisia
Headline: Militants kill 3 Tunisian soldiers in ambush near Algerian border
Islamist militants killed three Tunisian soldiers and wounded seven others on Monday, opening fire on them with rifles and rocket propelled grenades after their patrol hit anti-tank landmines, an army spokesman said. Militants use the remote, mountainous region along the Algerian border as a base and the military has been hunting them down in the rugged terrain with patrols and air strikes on suspected training camps. Army spokesman Belhassen Ouslati said the three soldiers had been killed in the landmine blast and that clashes were continuing after the ambush in the Mount Sammama area. Since the 2011 uprising against autocrat Zine El-Abidine Ben Ali, Tunisia’s democracy has been held up as a model for a region wracked by violence and instability. But Islamist militants are one of the key challenges for the new Prime Minister Youssef Chahed, who officially took office on Monday. A local Al-Qaeda affiliate, Okba Ibn Nafaa, has been based in the Mount Chaambi range. Some of its leadership is Algerian while some foreign militants fled there after the French intervention in Mali. Militants occasionally carry out attacks on army patrols and checkpoints in the remote areas around Mount Chaambi, and occasionally raid local homes for food and supplies. ISIS has also drawn several thousands Tunisian militants to its ranks in Syria, Iraq and more recently in neighboring Libya. Tunisian authorities are concerned about returning jihadist carrying out attacks at home.

U.S. President Barack Obama’s goal of resettling 10,000 Syrian refugees in the U.S. this fiscal year will be achieved one month ahead of schedule Monday. “On behalf of the president and his administration, I extend the warmest of welcomes to each and every one of our Syrian arrivals, as well as the many other refugees resettled this year from all over the world,” National Security Advisor Susan Rice said in a statement. Obama’s resettlement program has emerged as a controversial issue in the U.S. presidential campaign after Republican nominee Donald Trump claimed Syrians are a potential security threat to the U.S. and proposed a ban on Muslims entering the country. Governors of more than 30 U.S. states have tried to block such refugees from settling in their states, despite having no authority to do so, according to legal experts.

Headline: Tension mounts across Venezuela as protesters gear up for Sept. 1 anti-Maduro rally
The political mood in Venezuela is starting to heat up as Sept. 1, the day picked for a massive pro-referendum rally, approaches. On that day, the opposition is hoping hundreds of thousands will descend on Caracas to demand a vote to decide whether President Nicolas Maduro should stay in power. They are calling it “La Toma de Caracas” or “The Caracas Takeover.” Last week, two separate groups started to walk hundreds of miles from the heartland all the way to the capital city encouraging Venezuelans to join, while Liliana Tintori, wife of jailed opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez, started a set of daily protests throughout the country. But days before the anticipated event on Sept. 1st, violence is already a concern. Government supporters are allegedly trying to boycott the different groups rallying, as more and more people seem to spontaneously be joining the initiative and walking to Caracas from their hometowns. On Saturday, the government issued a decree banning all private aircraft and drones over Venezuelan territory until Sept. 5 — no was explanation given, but many are connecting it to the ongoing rallies.

Headline: Twelve soldiers die in clash with Islamist militants in the Philippine south
Twelve soldiers, including a young lieutenant, were killed in a clash with Islamic State-linked rebels on a remote southern island in the Philippines, an army spokesman said on Monday as the army offensive entered its fifth day. Major Filemon Tan said five soldiers were also wounded in an 1-1/2 hour firefight in the jungles of Patikul town on Jolo island as troops pursued a large formation of the small but brutal Abu Sayyaf group. “The fighting was really intense, we lost 12 men,” Tan said. “You can really expect heavy casualty from both sides due to volume of fire from both sides. We don’t know how many from the enemy died but there could be more than 30 rebels.” A young army lieutenant leading the troops was killed in a rebel ambush. More than 20 Abu Sayyaf rebels had died since Thursday when the military launched an air-and-ground offensive in Patikul, an Abu Sayyaf stronghold, after President Rodrigo Duterte ordered troops to “destroy” the militant group. The Abu Sayyaf, known for kidnapping and beheading captives, has dogged successive Philippine governments, entrenching its network with vast sums of ransom money in what has become one of Asia’s most lucrative kidnapping rackets.

A fresh wave of violence erupts in Indian-controlled Kashmir where New Delhi’s troops have used force to curb renewed protests by pro-independence demonstrators. Fierce clashes broke out between Indian troops and hundreds of stone-pelting protesters in Srinagar, the region’s main city, on Monday. Protests and clashes were also reported in many other areas of the disputed valley. Angry protesters chanted slogans like “We want freedom” and “Go India, go back” as they hurled stones at government forces across the Muslim-majority region. Indian forces fired live ammunition, shotguns and tear gas at protesters who responded by hurling stones in the city of Srinagar and elsewhere. Several civilians were reportedly injured in the latest fierce clashes. Earlier, Indian authorities lifted a 52-day curfew in the Himalayan region except the town of Pulwama and some parts of Srinagar. However, they reimposed it later in most of Srinagar after anti-India protests and clashes erupted in several neighborhoods.

Headline: Banks prepare for ‘economic nuclear winter’ Senior banking analyst warns of EU APOCALYPSE
A series of political shocks – including Britain’s vote to leave the EU – have led to fears the entire Union could crumble, the currency could collapse and economic nightmares could become a reality. Now it has been revealed this kind of “economic nuclear winter situation” is being prepared for by major banks. Weak corporate earnings, a banking crisis, and the Brexit vote have sparked disaster planning for the worst case scenarios in the second half of the year. A major lender told CNBC: “This could mean triggering Article 50, a referendum in other European nations leading to a break-up of the euro or sterling hitting below $1.20 or lower. “The banks are ready for anything now.” After the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union in June, there have been talks a similar referendum may be held in France, the Netherlands and other countries. The source added: “Markets hate uncertainty and the events this year have unfortunately created a lot of mystery around what is going to happen next.”

Headline: Indestructible strain of E.coli ‘has reached the US’, researchers warn
Researchers have discovered America’s first untreatable strain of E. Coli bacteria. The unique new superbug has mobile genes that make it resistant to two types of antibiotics, which are now considered last-line defenses against life-threatening bacteria. It was discovered in a 76-year-old man who was treated in 2014 for a complicated urinary tract infection. Scientists have spent months analyzing the patient’s blood and urine samples to understand why his infection was so challenging to treat. And now, recent tests have shown the bacterium carried mcr-1, a gene that creates resistance to the last-ditch antibiotic colistin. It was also shown to carry blaNDM-5, a gene that blocks effectiveness of carbapenems. Carbapenems are considered medicine’s most reliable current antibiotics now that bacteria have found ways of outwitting other families of antibiotics. Previous studies have shown colistin resistance in E.coli infections. But the mobility of the genes of this specific strain is thought to be unprecedented.

Headline: Satan worship on rise in America
Satanists are not merely mystical eccentrics wearing black Gothic garb, sacrificing animals and operating in shady and secret societies. They are now ordinary people who call themselves ‘secular’ and praise reason and the individual freedom of thought. In the US, explicitly satanic groups have begun drawing attention to themselves in the context of public governmental ceremonies. Just this month, a member of the so-called Satanic Temple was allowed to make an opening prayer to Lucifer at a local council meeting in Alaska. Assembly members stood around in a circle while the Satanist asked them to “embrace the Luciferian impulse to eat of the tree of knowledge.” She then ended the surreal prayer with the words, “Hail Satan.” Thoughtfully, meeting attendees were reminded that they did not have to participate in the opening ritual. The Satanic Temple (TST) is a fairly new organization. Founded in 2013, it fights for political change by pointing out the ostensibly preferential treatment Christianity enjoys in politics. TST has seven chapters in the USA and Europe, and claims a membership of 100,000. One of the group’s objectives is to embed Lucifer in the public school system by establishing afternoon clubs, adoringly dubbed “After School Satan”, which is TST’s response to a Supreme Court ruling allowing evangelical programs to operate in schools. Currently nine clubs are listed under the program, including in Los Angeles, Salt Lake City and Washington DC. The clubs will focus on “rationalism, free inquiry … and fun”, according to a promotional video. TST itself emphasizes that it seeks to implement “After School Satan” in locations where active Christian children’s clubs operate. TST said it is “not interested in operating After School Satan clubs in school districts that are not already hosting the Good News Club.”

Headline: Eruption of Iceland’s largest volcano feared after 2 earthquakes
Iceland was rocked by the largest earthquakes in 39 years, prompting fears its largest volcano will erupt after almost a century of dormancy. Two quakes — of magnitudes 4.5 at 1:41 a.m. and 4.6 at 1:47 a.m. Monday — rocked the crater of south Iceland’s Katla in the Myrdalsjokull glacier, the Icelandic Meteorological Office reported. They are the largest quakes to hit Katla since 1977, when a 5.1 earthquake was measured there, according to the Iceland Review. Katla, which is 90 miles east of Reykjavik. has not erupted since 1918, when it lasted 24 days and caused major glacier river floods. But the office considers it one of the country’s most active volcanoes. Katla has erupted 21 times in the last 1,100 years, and 18 broke through the ice cap in the volcano’s central crater, according to the Catalog of Icelandic Volcanoes. Icelandic scientists are watching the volcano, according to Icelandic Meteorological Office.
