  Abbas to ask Biden to move US embassy to Tel Aviv – report

10 ways a Biden win rattles Israel, Palestinians, Middle East – analysis

Hamas leader calls on Biden to abandon Trump’s ‘Deal of the Century’

Following President-elect Joe Biden’s victory in the US elections, the Palestinian Authority is reportedly planning on asking him to immediately move the US embassy back to Tel Aviv, i24 news reported Sunday, citing Israel Hayom. The reports cited a Palestinian Authority senior adviser named Nabil Shaath, who told the Hebrew-language newspaper that Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has been covertly communicating with the president-elect in an effort to go back on many of President Donald Trump’s pro-Israel policies, such as recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and moving the embassy back to Tel Aviv. In return, Abbas would be willing to return to US-mediated peace talks with Israel. However, this would reportedly come with further caveats, Shaath explained to Israel Hayom. The US would need to reopen the PA’s diplomatic mission in Washington and renew US aid to Ramallah and UNWRA. Furthermore, the talks would need to resume where they had left in 2016, when president Barack Obama was mediating.

Trump emissary in Mideast as US looks to make it hard for Biden to backtrack into Iran deal

Biden will reenter the Iran nuclear deal within months, former Obama official says

The Trump administration’s special envoy on Iran held talks in Jerusalem with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to discuss the Iranian threat, the U.S. Embassy in Israel reported Sunday. Elliott Abrams, the Special Representative for Iran and Venezuela, arrived in Israel on the weekend, and after holding additional talks Monday with Defense Minister Benny Gantz and Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi, he will head to the Gulf region for talks in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. The embassy tweeted that Abrams met Netanyahu “to discuss issues of mutual concern such as countering Iran’s malign actions.” Both Gantz and Ashkenazi are retired generals who served as commander of Israel’s military before turning to politics. Abrams’ surprise visit to the region comes as the Trump administration is expected to add “a flood of sanctions” on the Islamic Republic in order to “make it harder for the Biden administration to revive the 2015 nuclear deal,” Israeli sources told the Axios news website, which also reported that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will arrive on Nov. 18 to push the Iran issue.

 Syrian army clashes with Dara’a fighters near Israel and Jordan

Tensions boiled over in Syria’s southern Dara’a province on Sunday as the Syrian army reportedly sent its 4th division on a sweep of towns and villages after several Syrian soldiers were killed. Reports by pro-Syrian regime social media said that several Syrian soldiers had been killed and even “beheaded.” They had been killed in Al-Shajara in the Yarmouk basin and near the village of Jalin. Clashes took place near Tafas as well. At least one high ranking Syrian army officer, said to have been a lieutenant-colonel, was reported killed. An air force intelligence post was also attacked by local fighters. The air force intelligence is among the most feared apparatus of the Syrian regime.

Reports: IS Attack West of Baghdad Kills 11

Iraq fears return of Obama-era policies as pro-Iran factions hail Biden’s win

An attack by an Islamic State group on a lookout point west of Baghdad manned by a state-sponsored tribal force left 11 people dead late Sunday, security sources and medics told AFP. The jihadists threw grenades and fired on the tribal Hashed forces stationed at Al-Radwaniyah, on the southern outskirts of the Iraqi capital, near the Baghdad airport. “IS attacked the monitoring tower, killing five members of the tribal Hashed and six local people who had come to help repel the attack,” a security source said. A medic confirmed the toll to AFP and said eight wounded were transferred to a hospital in central Baghdad. There was no immediate claim of responsibility from IS.

   Turkey Is the Center of the New Islamist International

The recent row with France further established Turkey’s role as an ideological instigator of tension between Islamist elements and the West and its capabilities to appeal to Islamists globally. President Tayyip Recep Erdogan rallies Islamists by promoting the notion that Europe is at war with Islam and says that his government “is determined to protect the rights and security of its citizens,” declaring his intent to interfere in other countries in the name of religion. This strategy leads to an Islamist International, led by Erdogan. The Islamist International has a core of three states, Turkey, Qatar and Iran, and a nexus of diplomatic support provided by other Islamic countries, such as Pakistan and Malaysia, and terrorist groups of Hamas and Hizballah. The Islamist International was initially formulated during the Islamic Summit held last December in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Turkey wants to supplant Saudi Arabia and create an Islamic bloc opposed to the now pro-Western nexus of Saudi Arabia, Egypt, UAE and Jordan. The Islamist International has extended its influence inside the EU through the network of Islamic migrant communities and entities influenced by Erdogan’s Turkey, such as the Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated Federation of Islamic Organizations in Europe and the Forum of European Muslim Youth and Student Organisations.

Iran offers Arab states ‘mafia deal’ of security or punishment after Trump

Iran demands US compensation: Biden must ‘make up’ for Trump’s ‘mistakes’

Iran has sought to reach out to its Arab neighbors, with Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif warning them that US President Donald Trump will be leaving in 70 days, but Iran’s regime will remain “forever.” He urged them to realize that “betting on outsiders to provide security is never a good gamble.” In Arabic and English, he called for dialogue and to work together. The message was clearly aimed at Gulf states and others that are partnered with the US. Iran was offering them an opening, a message: Shift and join us, or suffer in the future – the US will not protect you. This is a kind of carrot-and- stick approach, a mafia don offering protection. In a long speech quoted by Fars News Agency, Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh urged Iran’s neighbors to return to talks with Iran. “The Trump administration has gone in a very wrong direction over the past few years, and the maximum pressure has reached the maximum failure,” he said. “After the martyrdom of [IRGC Quds Force] General [Qasem] Soleimani, Iran resorted to the necessary reactions.” “Only the language of peace and respect responds to the dignity and civilized people of Iran,” Khatibzadeh said. “It is still time to step back from our failed policies and the inhumane legacy of the United States and the charlatans and bankrupt people who are advising the current US administration. We are looking closely at the actions and careers of the future US administration.”

 Concern of Outright War in Ethiopia Grows as PM Presses Military Offensive

Ethiopia’s prime minister stepped up a military offensive in the northern region of Tigray on Sunday with air strikes as part of what he called a “law enforcement operation,” increasing fears of outright civil war in Africa’s second-most populous country. Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has defied calls from the United Nations and allies in the region to negotiate with leaders in Tigray, home of the ethnic group that dominated the federal government before he took power in 2018. Abiy last week launched a military campaign in the province, saying forces loyal to leaders there had attacked a military base and attempted to steal equipment. Abiy accuses the leaders of Tigray of undermining his democratic reforms. Government fighter jets have since been bombing targets in the region, which borders Sudan and Eritrea. Aid workers on Sunday reported heavy fighting in several parts of the region, with at least six dead and dozens wounded. Also on Sunday, Abiy named a new chief of the army, a new intelligence chief and a new federal police commissioner and foreign minister, changes that analysts said brought close allies into top posts as the conflict escalates.

 Azerbaijani Forces Capture Shusha, Second Largest Town in Nagorno-Karabakh

Armenia Forces Shot Down Combat Drone Over Nagorno-Karabakh

Nagorno-Karabakh reports 44 more military casualties in Azeri fighting

Azerbaijan Says It Shot Down Russian Helicopter “By Mistake” & Offers “Compensation”

On November 8, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev announced that Azerbaijani forces have captured the strategic town of Shusha from the Armenians in the Nagorno-Karabakh region. The Armenian military denied the claim of the Azerbaijani leader.  Azerbaijani forces were also closing in on the main city of Nagorno-Karabakh, separatist authorities said. “The enemy is on the outskirts of Stepanakert and the existence of the capital is already in danger,” said Vahram Poghosyan, spokesperson for the president of the Armenian-backed authorities in Nagorno-Karabakh. The defense ministry of the Nagorno-Karabakh said on Monday it had recorded another 44 casualties among its military, pushing its military death toll to 1,221 since fighting with Azeri forces erupted on Sept. 27. Azerbaijan has quickly owned up to the downing of the Russian military helicopter early Monday evening (local time). According to TASS citing official statements from Azerbaijan’s foreign ministry: Azerbaijan downed Russian helicopter by mistake, the republic’s Foreign Ministry announced. Baku is ready to compensate Moscow for the downed helicopter. The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry expressed condolences over the death of the crew members of the downed Russian helicopter. Though the incident is still being investigated, the Russian Ministry of Defense put out a statement indicating two of its pilots were killed. The MoD said a portable air-defense system was fired on the gunship from the ground near the village of Yeraskh close to the border with Azerbaijan.

    Thai police fire water cannon at pro-democracy protesters

Riot police fired water cannon at crowds of Thai pro-democracy protesters as they attempted to reach Bangkok’s Grand Palace on Sunday to hand-deliver letters urging reform of the country’s powerful monarchy. Demonstrations have spread across Thailand in recent months, led by young people who have risked lengthy jail sentences to call for the power and wealth of the royal family to be curbed, and for the resignation of the prime minister, Prayuth Chan-ocha. On Sunday evening, water cannon were briefly fired at crowds, but protesters did not vacate the area. Later, demonstrators, who wore goggles and hard hats for protection, moved buses and took down barbed wire that had been used by police to block access to the palace. They carried mock letterboxes, made from old rubbish bins and addressed to the Bureau of the Royal Household, which were filled with messages calling for reform.

More than 800 held in Belarus as opposition reaches out to Biden

Police in Belarus on Sunday detained more than 800 people during the latest in weeks of unprecedented demonstrations against strongman Alexander Lukashenko, as the opposition reached out to US President-elect Joe Biden. For three months running, tens of thousands have taken to the streets of Belarus on Sundays to protest against the disputed re-election of Lukashenko, who has been in power for more than two decades. His opponents are demanding he hand power to Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, a political novice who ran for president against Lukashenko on August 9. Several thousand protesters, many carrying the red-and-white opposition flag, joined a march in central Minsk on Sunday. Police vans and water cannons were deployed to the centre of the city with police sporadically detaining protesters in various locations. Journalists working with AFP saw a heavy security presence, with baton-carrying riot police in black balaclavas grabbing protesters and taking them to police vans. Local human rights group Viasna said that at least 830 people had been detained in the capital Minsk and other cities.

 Biden’s first move as president-elect? Mask mandate for all

Biden Advisers Met Warp Speed Drugmakers Before Election

NY State Bar Passes Mandatory COVID-19 Vaccination Recommendation

One of Joe Biden’s first priorities as president-elect will be implementing mask mandates nationwide by working with governors. The future 46th president, however, says if they refuse than he will go to mayors and county executives and get local masking requirements in place. Fox News medical contributor Dr. Marc Siegel noted that the use of masks should be determined based on how much of the risk of exposure to the coronavirus is in a specific area rather than mandating it everywhere. Meanwhile, the New York State Bar Association on Saturday passed a resolution urging the state to consider making it mandatory for all New Yorkers to undergo COVID-19 vaccination when a vaccine becomes available, even if people object to it for “religious, philosophical or personal reasons.”

CVGHM warns major eruption may be imminent at Merapi volcano, Indonesia

Information has been received from the Indonesian Center for Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation (CVGHM) suggesting that a significant eruption may be imminent at Merapi volcano, the Darwin VAAC said in a Volcanic Ash Advisory issued 06:40 UTC on November 8, 2020. The Aviation Color Code was raised to Red. Authorities raised the alert level for the volcano from 2 to 3 (on a scale of 1 – 4) on November 5, after a significant increase in seismicity, advising residents and tourists to stop all activities in the vicinity of the volcano.  Hundreds of people living on the slopes of the volcano have since been evacuated. As of November 3, there are no new lava domes observed, CVGHM noted on November 5. However, both seismicity and deformation are still increasing. “Based on this, it is possible the volcano could experience an explosive eruption or fast magma extrusion,” CVGHM volcanologists said. Potential hazards include lava flows, ejection of volcanic material and pyroclastic flows to a maximum distance of 5 km (3.1 miles).

 Three 30m asteroids headed this way

After avoiding catastrophe on election day in the US, in the form of asteroid 2018 VP1 of course, NASA is now warning of another three space rocks headed this way, while also suggesting the ‘planet-killer’ Bennu may be hollow. As 2020 draws to a close, the threat from outer space remains as clear as ever, with three asteroids over 30 meters in diameter traveling Earth’s way this week alone, starting on November 10 with a double-header. Measuring roughly half the size of the Statue of Liberty (46m), asteroid 2020 UN3 will pass the planet at a safe distance of 4.4 million kilometers. Not long after, and almost double the size, the 72-meter 2020 UL3, will shoot past at 5.8 million kilometers. Lest anyone get too comfortable, however, on November 12, asteroid 2020 VC, measuring 34 meters in diameter or roughly half the wingspan of a 747 jet, is set to buzz the planet at a distance of 5.2 million kilometers. Honorable mention goes to 2018 VS4, 23 meters in diameter (roughly half as tall as the Arc de Triomphe) and the 27-meter 2020 VC1 (half the Leaning Tower of Pisa), both of which will make a flyby of Earth this week but are not expected to pose any threat to humanity.

 Tropical Storm “Eta” makes landfall in Florida after leaving more than 235 dead in Central America

After striking Nicaragua on November 2 as a Category 4 hurricane and leaving more than 235 people dead in Central America, Eta made landfall along the south-central coast of Cuba at around 09:00 UTC on November 8 and in Lower Matecumbe Key in Florida, U.S at 04:00 UTC on November 9, both with maximum sustained winds of 100 km/h (65 mph) – tropical storm strength. At 09:00 UTC on November 9, the center of Tropical Storm “Eta” was located about 70 km (45 miles) NNW of Key West and 100 km (62 miles) S of Naples, Florida. Eta had maximum sustained winds of 100 km/h (62 mph) and was moving 20 km/h (13 mph). Its minimum central pressure was 992 hPa.

  Israel Warns of Coming War with Iran if Biden Wins

Biden has said openly for a long time that he will go back to the nuclear agreement,” Settlements Minister Tzachi Hanegbi warned said, according to Jerusalem Post. “I see that as something that will lead to a confrontation between Israel and Iran.” The minister recalled that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and most Israelis saw the Iran Deal signed by the Obama administration in 2015 as “mistaken – and that’s an understatement.” “If Biden stays with that policy, there will, in the end, be a violent confrontation between Israel and Iran,” he stated. According to Hanegbi, the aim of US President Donald Trump to negotiate a new deal with Iran is not the same because it would be “a different agreement that he would force through maximum pressure sanctions.” The potential shift of this policy under the new administration will at least partially undermine the Israeli positions in the region thus forcing Tel Aviv to take more measures to protect the recent gains. In own turn, Iran will try to exploit this to re-establish its influence in new areas. This, according to Israel, will lead to the inevitable confrontation.

ISIS Terrorists Attacked Syrian Troops in Raqqa, Deir Ezzor  

Late on November 5, ISIS terrorists attacked a position of the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) on the main road between the ancient city of Palmyra in eastern Homs and the town of Resafa in southern Raqqa. According to Istanbul-based Syria TV, the terrorists targeted the army’s position with a number of anti-tank guided missiles. Following the attack, warplanes of the Russian Aerospace Forces carried out four airstrikes on ISIS hideouts in the al-Amour Mount, south of Palmyra. A day earlier, ISIS terrorists attacked a vehicle of the SAA west of the town of al-Mayadin in the southern Deir Ezzor countryside. The group’s news agency, Amaq, claimed that several soldiers were killed or injured. ISIS terrorists are launching these attacks from their strongholds in the central region, the Homs desert. The desert lays between eastern Homs and western Deir Ezzor. The recent wave of attacks confirms that the ISIS terrorists are receiving support. Recent reports revealed that U.S.-backed fighters in the southeastern area of al-Tanaf are selling supplies to the group.

  Ethiopia orders military response after army base seized

Ethiopia PM Abiy insists military operation is limited

Ethiopian Military Deploys Air Power in Opposition-Controlled Tigray Region

Ethiopia’s Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has ordered a military offensive, after an army base was taken over by forces loyal to the regional government of Tigray. Mr Abiy accused the region’s ruling party, the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), of launching the attack. The attack resulted in “many martyrs, injuries and property damage”, he said in a TV address. The cabinet has declared a state of emergency in the region for six months. The national authorities have also shut down electricity, telephone and internet services in Tigray. Tensions between the government and TPLF, which used to be part of the governing coalition before falling out with Mr Abiy, have escalated in recent months, with both sides accusing the other of plotting to use military force. On Tuesday, the federal parliament proposed that the TPLF be designated as a “terrorist organisation.”

Fate of Armenian-Azerbaijani War is Being Decided in Battle of Shusha

Nagorno-Karabakh Briefing

The conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan — now in its sixth week — shows little sign of easing after three ceasefires have fallen apart. The military conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh could be approaching a decisive moment, analysts say, as Azerbaijani forces remain focused on a key Armenian-controlled stronghold.  Azerbaijani troops and Turkish-backed Syrian militants continue storming the town of Shusha, located just south of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic capital, Stepanakert. During the past 24 hours, infantry of the Turkish-Azerbaijani bloc under cover of intense artillery and drone strikes captured several heights southeast of Shusha and were able to keep fire control over the road linking the town with the Lachin corridor area. At the same time, Armenian forces repelled several Azerbaijani attacks on the town itself inflicting, at least according to Yerevan, heavy casualties to pro-Baku forces. This goes contrary to claims of Azerbaijani sources that in their reports have almost captured the town already. In fact, Shusha is not even encircled and the Armenians still have an option to send supplies and reinforcements to it from the north and northwest. Meanwhile, Turkish and Azerbaijani sources complain that Armenia continues receiving help – military equipment and likely intelligence sharing assistance – in the conflict. The Armenians use this discontent to speculate that soon the airspace over Nagorno-Karabakh will be closed by Russia and the Azerbaijanis will have to run away to Baku. Despite this, the chances of a direct Russian intervention in the current regional situation remains unlikely. However, if Turkey and Azerbaijan continue to extensively exploit Syrian militants in the conflict as cannon folder, the strategy that Ankara already tried in Syria and Libya, the scale of indirect Russian support to the Armenians will definitely grow. If one takes into account the reaction in the public sphere, even current limited Russian support already created difficulties for the Azerbaijani-Turkish advance.

The 2020 presidential election sparked protests across the nation, with some rallying in support of President Trump, some in support of Biden and others demanding that every vote be counted. Protesters in Boston marched from Nubian Square to Copley Square on Wednesday night. In Detroit and Phoenix, dozens of angry Trump supporters converged at vote-counting centers as returns went against the president in the two key states. Maricopa County in Arizona closed down briefly because of the crowds. A small group gathered in Nevada, chanting, “Count every vote, count every vote.” People in Seattle also got together to demand a complete count of ballots. In Colorado, protesters could be seen burning a Trump flag.  People are taking to the streets to join “Shut Down DC” protests in the US capital city on Friday, following post-election confusion. The “Shut Down DC” movement describes itself as a group who plan and organize actions “to preserve the pillars of democracy and fight for a better future”.

Britain, U.S. Call For New Vote In Belarus After ‘Damning’ Report On Rights Abuses

Upcoming CSTO Exercise Could Support Russian Military Deployment to Belarus 

British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab and U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo are calling for new elections in Belarus after the publication of an independent report into the “falsified” presidential election nearly three months ago and a brutal crackdown on protests. Mass demonstrations have swept across Belarus since the disputed presidential election that the opposition says was rigged and the West has refused to accept, ratcheting up pressure on Alyaksandr Lukashenka, who has ruled the country for 26 years. Raab described the findings of the report presented to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe’s (OSCE) Permanent Council on November 5 — the day Lukashenka’s fifth term officially ends — as “a damning indictment” of his rule.

Kyrgyzstan Tears Down Government Gates in Symbolic Move After Crisis

Kyrgyzstan tore down the gates of its main government building on Friday in a move authorities said symbolized the removal of barriers between citizens and authorities following political turmoil. Sooronbay Jeenbekov last month became the third president in Kyrgyzstan to resign amid unrest since the country gained independence 29 years ago amid the collapse of the Soviet Union. His departure came after allegations of vote-rigging in parliamentary elections sparked mass protests that persisted even after the results of the vote were canceled. The initiative to tear down the black-painted metal gates surrounding the building that houses both the parliament and the presidential administration came from the new prime minister and acting president Sadyr Japarov, parliamentary speaker Talant Mamytov told journalists. The demolition of the gates “is a symbol of the openness of the new government to the people,” Mamytov said.

China to allow coast guard to use weapons in claimed waters

United States Drops ETIM Group from Terror List 

China will allow its coast guard to use weapons when foreign ships involved in illegal activities in waters it controls fail to obey orders, such as to stop, a bill unveiled by a body of the country’s parliament showed Wednesday. As Beijing claims that the Senkaku Islands, administered by Tokyo, in the East China Sea are part of its territory, the envisioned law could target Japanese vessels navigating around the uninhabited islets called Diaoyu in China. The Japanese government said earlier in the day that a Chinese ship was spotted in the so-called contiguous zone outside Japanese waters, adding Chinese vessels have now been observed near the isles for 285 days this year and also for the 59th day in a row. Meanwhile, the United States has revoked the terror tag for the East Turkestan Islamic Movement (ETIM), an Islamic extremist militant group that has been seeking to establish own mini-Caliphate in China’s western region of Xinjiang. US secretary of state Mike Pompeo signed off on the order removing ETIM from the list of terrorist groups on October 20, while the move itself was made public on November 4. The lifting of the terrorism tag by the US will expectedly lead to the increase of the group’s activity across the entire Central Asia. No longer considered terrorists, ETIM members and commanders will allow to have bank accounts in the United States, move freely within the US zone of control, conduct business activities, buy and sell weapons.

Delaware elects first transgender state senator in US

States of Ga., Tenn. Elect Their First Homosexuals, Including Lesbian Priest, to State Legislatures

Delaware elected the nation’s first-ever transgender state senator Tuesday night when LGBT activist Sarah McBride won a senate seat in a landslide. She became the first openly trans person to give a speech at a major political party convention in 2016 when she spoke at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia. McBride is the national press secretary for the Human Rights Campaign, the biggest advocacy group for LGBT civil rights in the country. Meanwhile, Georgia state Senate candidate Kim Jackson won the heavily Democratic District 41 by a landslide.  Jackson is the first black LGBTQ+ person ordained as a priest in the Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta. In Tennessee, two openly homosexual candidates were chosen by voters to serve in the state House of Representatives: Democrat Torrey Harris and Republican Eddie Mannis.

Washington DC poised to decriminalize the use of psychedelic mushrooms

Recreational Marijuana Legalized by New Jersey Voters

Washington DC on Tuesday night seemed poised to pass a ballot measure that would effectively decriminalize the use of magic mushrooms and other psychedelic plants. By around 10:30 p.m. Initiative 81 had a commanding lead, with about 76.59 percent voting to pass the measure, according to local outlets. The initiative would make the non-commercial cultivation, distribution, possession and use of psilocybin and similar drugs the police department’s lowest enforcement priority. It would not make commercial sales of the psychedelics legal.

  US formally withdraws from Paris agreement

After a three-year delay, the US has become the first nation in the world to formally withdraw from the Paris climate agreement. President Trump announced the move in June 2017, but UN regulations meant that his decision only takes effect today, the day after the US election. The US could re-join it in future, should a president choose to do so. The Paris deal was drafted in 2015 to strengthen the global response to the threat of climate change. It aims to keep the global temperature rise this century well below 2C above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase even further to 1.5C.

When the Third Temple is Built, These Temple Priests Will be Ready to Serve 

Along with the prophets Jeremiah, Ezekiel and Zephaniah, Rabbi Amichai Cohen of Tzfat in the Galilee is a descendant of Aaron, the first High Priest of Israel. These male descendants are known as kohanim. Cohen and his partner, Rabbi Peretz Rivkin, want to prepare the living descendants of Aaron the High Priest to be ready to step into their Biblically-mandated roles as soon as the Third Temple is operational. Together, the two men are launching Kehuna Academy, an online community and school for learning about the service of the Kohanim in preparation for the Third Temple. Kehuna is the Hebrew word for priesthood. Rivkin currently runs Igud HaKohanim, a New York-based non-profit educational organization devoted to educating the world about the importance of the Biblical priesthood.

Palestinian Authority to resume accepting tax money collected by Israel

The Palestinian Authority will begin accepting tax revenue collected by Israel after months of boycotting the funds over Jerusalem’s now-defunct annexation plans and deductions made to prisoner salaries. The change in policy will likely come at the end of the month without concessions from the PA. But Secretary-General of the Palestinian Council of Ministers, Amjad Ghanem, later denied the shift in position, insisting the PA will continue to refuse the funds until Israel agrees to its demands such as easing restrictions on the movement of goods and people between the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. “We hope that we will win the political battle with the occupation and have the ability to recover the funds for compensation and end political blackmail,” Ghanem told Palestinian outlet Watan News.

More Normalization Deals Depend on U.S.’s Iran Resolve, Israeli Minister Says

Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Morocco and Niger ‘on the agenda,’ but they require next U.S. administration maintaining a strong anti-Iran axis, according to Intelligence Affairs Minister Eli Cohen. “These are the five countries,” he told Ynet TV. “And if the Trump policy continues, we will be able to reach additional agreements.” While not explicitly favoring either U.S. candidate, Cohen argued that Trump’s policy had prompted Arab and Muslim countries to seek accommodation with Israel. If the next president “does not show resolve vis-a-vis Iran, then what will happen is that they will take their time, will not rush, will not choose a side,” Cohen said. “A concessionary policy will get the peace deals stuck.”

Egypt tells Hamas to keep ceasefire until after US elections – report

During a visit by a Hamas delegation to Cairo last week, Egypt called on the terrorist group to maintain the ceasefire reached with Israel in August until after the US elections on Tuesday, according to the Lebanese newspaper Al-Akhbar. While the Hamas delegation wanted Egypt to pressure Israel into implementing the understandings of the ceasefire, sources from Hamas told Al-Akhbar that Egypt’s responses to the terrorist group’s demands were “lackluster.” The Al-Akhbar report added that the Egyptians stressed to Hamas that an escalation should not be pursued currently, insinuating to Hamas that Israel may consider returning to targeted assassinations against terrorist leaders if an escalation occurs. Explosive balloons were reported in southern Israel last week, as tensions rose between terrorist groups in the Gaza Strip and Israel, with the groups threatening action if the health condition of Maher al-Akhras, a Palestinian who has been on a hunger strike in Israel for almost 100 days – becomes too dire, or he dies. The Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist movement announced a general call-up of its forces on Saturday night, citing the deterioration in al-Akhras’s condition as the reason.

Violent clashes break out in Baghdad, Basra and other Iraqi cities

Anti-government protests broke out into violent clashes in several Iraqi cities on Sunday, including in the capital Baghdad and the southern port city of Basra. In Basra, police officers and troops fired into the air to disperse around 500 protesters, who had been throwing rocks, AFP reported. Meanwhile, a few hundred young Iraqis returned to Baghdad’s Tahrir Square on Sunday for a flash protest, clashing briefly with security forces. Early on Saturday morning, security forces had entered Tahrir Square, the centre of anti-government protests in the capital, to clear the tents and open the previously blocked off roads. The government said Al-Jamhuriya Bridge, which connects the square with the heavily fortified Green Zone – the location of the Iraqi parliament and numerous diplomatic buildings – had been opened for the first time since it had been shut at the beginning of protests in October 2019.

  Turkey pushes new tensions with Greece despite earthquake

Erdogan ‘trying to start a war in the Med’

Weeks after walking back a provocative naval maneuver near a Greek island in the face of criticism from European countries, Turkey has said it will resume provocative naval exercises. Turkey uses a research ship, called Oruc Reis, to claim it is conducting “research,” but uses large naval forces to harass Greek islands under the guise of research missions, something it has now done a dozen times since the beginning of the year. The new naval provocation takes place despite a recent earthquake that damaged Turkey’s city of Izmir. Greece used the earthquake, which also affected its island of Samos, to offer aid and reconciliation with Turkey. The response by Ankara was more threats.

Kabul University: Nineteen dead, more wounded after gunmen storm campus

Nineteen people have been killed by gunmen who stormed Kabul University before engaging security forces in an hours-long battle on Monday. A spokesman for the Afghan interior ministry said the attack was eventually stopped when three gunmen were killed. At least 22 people were wounded, the interior ministry said. The attack began around the time government officials were expected to arrive at the campus for the opening of an Iranian book fair. All of the dead were students, including 10 women, a Kabul police spokesman told the AFP news agency. The Taliban denied involvement and condemned the attack. The Islamic State group has targeted education centres in Afghanistan in recent years, including an attack outside a tuition centre in Kabul last month that left 24 people dead.

Gunmen kill 32 in attack in Ethiopia: administrator

Gunmen killed have executed 32 people and torched more than 20 houses in a raid on an area of western Ethiopia, a regional administrator said on Monday. The killings were carried out on Sunday by an armed group called OLF Shane in the Western Wollega Zone of Oromiya region, administrator Elias Umeta told Reuters. “We buried today 32 of them. About 700 to 750 people were also displaced from the area,” he said. OLF Shane split from the Oromo Liberation Front (OLF), an opposition party that spent years in exile but was allowed to return to Ethiopia after Prime Minister Abiy Ahemd took office in 2018. Sporadic violence has rocked Ethiopia since then. OLF Shane says it is fighting for the right of the Oromos, the largest ethnic group in Ethiopia. But there was no immediate known motive for the killings, Umeta said. “They were executed after they were told by the armed group they want to have a meeting with them,” he said.

Sudan Says Agrees With U.S. on Restoring of Sovereign Immunity

Sudan and the United States signed an agreement to restore the African country’s sovereign immunity, the Sudanese Ministry of Justice said on Friday. The ministry said in a statement the agreement will settle cases brought against Sudan in U.S. courts, including for the bombing of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998, for which Sudan has agreed to pay $335 million to victims. The deal is part of a U.S. pledge to remove Sudan from its designation as a state sponsor of terrorism, which goes back to its toppled Islamist ruler Omar al-Bashir when Washington believed the country was supporting militant groups. President Donald Trump said this month that the United States will remove Sudan from the list as soon as Khartoum sets aside the $335 million it has agreed to pay to American victims of militant attacks and their families. To avoid new lawsuits Sudan needed its sovereign immunity restored, which it lost as a designated sponsor of terrorism.

Armenia Calls on Russia for Aid in Clash with Turkey-backed Azerbaijan

Nagorno-Karabakh Briefing | Nov. 2

Armenia and Azerbaijan failed to strike another ceasefire in talks brokered by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), as Baku pledged to “fight to the end” to recapture territory which has been controlled by Armenia-backed separatists since 1994. Meanwhile, Yerevan formally opened consultations with Moscow over when Russia would come to the backing of its defense pact partner. Baku said there would be no need for Russian intervention because it was not threatening Armenian territory, AFP reported. Nagorno-Karabakh is internationally recognised as part of Azerbaijan but has been under de facto control of Armenian-backed separatists since 1994. Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev pledged to fight “to the end,” should any diplomatic talks fail to result in Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding regions being put under Baku’s control, Reuters reported. Armenia claimed Azerbaijan used white phosphorus — a chemical weapon restricted under the Geneva Convention — in an attack Saturday morning, Russia’s TASS news agency reported. Azerbaijan denied the claims and said Armenia had been transporting white phosphorus into the area, Al Jazeera reported. U.S. National Security Adviser Robert O’Brien said Turkey should play no role in a peacekeeping force in Nagorno-Karabakh and said he was working with Scandinavian governments to put together a potential peacekeeping mission, Armenian public radio reported. Russia said it had not received details on the proposal, news site RBC reported. As of Saturday, Sweden said it had not received any official request from the U.S. to send peacekeeping troops to the region.

‘Day Of Rage’ As Erdogan Claims Europe “Wants To Relaunch Crusades”

12,000 Muslims protest on Temple Mount against Macron

Iran attacks French president for ‘insulting God’s messenger’
50,000-strong ‘anti-Macron’ rally in Bangladesh marches towards French embassy, Macron effigy burned

Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has done his best to stoke religious tensions related to Charlie Hebdo cartoons which mock Islam’s founder Muhammad, especially after recent terror attacks in France were condemned by Macron as “Islamist terrorism”. Macron had further said Islam is “in crisis” after clearly Islamic-inspired killings have left multiple people dead and wounded this month – the latest being the shooting of a Greek Orthodox priest in Lyon who was left with life-threatening injuries. Earlier this week Erdogan likened it to Europe wanting to “relaunch the crusades” and that hatred of Islam is “spreading like a cancer”. He had told his ruling Justice and Development (AK) Party’s parliamentary group: “Unfortunately, we are going through a period in which the hostility towards Islam, Muslims and disrespect to the Prophet Muhammad is spreading like cancer, especially among the leaders in Europe,” according to Turkish media. Mass protests popped up across capitals in the Middle East from Pakistan to Afghanistan to Lebanon, often in front of the local French embassy.

A political rally on Sunday led to confrontations between Trump supporters and protesters at a Robert E. Lee monument in Virginia, according to reports. Police said the mobile political rally, which dubbed itself as a “Trump Train,” entered Richmond on Sunday afternoon. Police said there was a confrontation as the rally passed the statue at Monument and Allen avenues. Protesters attempted to block the convoy as it tried to round the monument, and tensions escalated when the vehicles came to a stop, reports said. Some of the demonstrators were aggressive toward the drivers and their vehicles, according to the Harrisonburg Daily News-Record. Meanwhile, New York City police made 10 arrests Sunday following a violent clash with anti-Trump protesters in Manhattan. About 300 anti-Trump demonstrators had gathered at Madison Square Park to confront pro-Trump caravans crisscrossing the New York region ahead of Tuesday’s presidential election, according to the paper and other reports. The incident took place in the afternoon in the Chelsea neighborhood and video posted on the New York Post website shows dozens of cops in riot gear shoving protesters as they blocked their path.

Tens of thousands protest in Belarus, defying warning shots

EU to target Lukashenko in widening sanctions against Belarus

Belarus Rights Abuses Under Fire at UN

Riot police fired warning shots into the air, used stun grenades and arrested more than 200 people to deter tens of thousands of Belarusians who marched through Minsk on Sunday to demand veteran leader Alexander Lukashenko leave power. Mass demonstrations have flooded the capital for 12 straight weeks since a disputed election, ratcheting up pressure on the embattled leader of 26 years who rejects accusations the vote was rigged and says he has no intention of quitting. This week Lukashenko partially closed the border to the west, replaced his interior minister and said that any protester who lays a hand on officers policing the protests should “at least leave without hands.” Tens of thousands of people swept through Minsk in at least two columns, the Nasha Niva newspaper reported.

Thai King addresses protesters in rare public comments, saying he ‘loves them all the same’

Thailand’s national moment: Protests in a continuing battle over nationalism

As mass anti-government protests build across Thailand and calls for reform of the monarchy grow, King Maha Vajiralongkorn has called his country “the land of compromise,” suggesting there may be a way out of the months-long political impasse. The Thai King made his first public comments on the pro-democracy demonstrations that have gripped the country for more than four months in an exclusive rare joint interview with CNN and Channel 4 News during a royal function at the Grand Palace in Bangkok on Sunday. Asked about what he would say to the protesters who have been on the streets calling for reform, King Vajiralongkorn told CNN “no comment,” before adding, “We love them all the same. We love them all the same. We love them all the same.” Asked whether there was any room for compromise with protesters who are demanding a curb on his powers, Vajiralongkorn said that, “Thailand is the land of compromise.” This is the first time that the 68-year-old monarch has spoken to foreign media since 1979 when he was Crown Prince.

Kyrgyzstan: Protests flourish as crises mount on all sides

Sadyr Japarov came to power in Kyrgyzstan by exploiting and directing street anger. But the prime minister-cum-acting president may learn before too long that testy crowds are a sword that cuts both ways. There was some evidence of that on Bishkek’s streets on November 2 as a bewildering number of simultaneous low-level demonstrations unfolded over a matter of hours. Seemingly the most consequential one involved traders from Bishkek’s colossal Dordoi bazaar, who assembled in front of the Government House to complain that they have for weeks been unable to take receipt of goods arriving from China. They blame Kyrgyz customs and border personnel for the holdup.

  Oregon could become 1st US state to decriminalize hard drugs

In what would be a first in the U.S., possession of small amounts of heroin, cocaine, LSD and other hard drugs could be decriminalized in Oregon under a ballot measure that voters are deciding on in Tuesday’s election. Measure 110 is one of the most watched initiatives in Oregon because it would drastically change how the state’s justice system treats people caught with amounts for their personal use. Instead of being arrested, going to trial and facing possible jail time, the users would have the option of paying $100 fines or attending new, free addiction recovery centers. The centers would be funded by tax revenue from retail marijuana sales in the state that was the country’s first to decriminalize marijuana possession.

‘CommonPass’: New COVID-19 Security Measures Will Make Health A Prerequisite For Travel

A new digital certificate called CommonPass, designed to serve as a clearance mechanism for passengers based on a health diagnosis underwent its first transatlantic test on October 21 under the watchful eye of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) at Heathrow Airport in London. There, a group of select participants embarked on United flight 15 to Newark, New Jersey after being screened and tested for COVID-19 at the point of departure in a largely ceremonial exercise that included initiative co-founders, Paul Meyer and Bradley Perkins. The app’s first trial run took place with much less media fanfare last month on a Cathay Pacific Airways flight from Hong Kong to Singapore and marked the beginning of the CommonPass pilot project launched by The Commons Project non-profit organization in-tandem with the World Economic Forum. Travel industry insiders claim that CommonPass will allow international travel to resume before a COVID-19 vaccine is made widely available by applying standard methods for certification of lab results and vaccination records of travelers through the CommonPass Framework, based on criteria set by the governments of each port of entry. J.D. O’Hara, CEO of one of the world’s largest travel services companies and one of the participants at Wednesday’s CommonPass trial run, hailed the app’s ability to “verify health information in a secure, verified manner,” while Roger Dow of the U.S. Travel Association released a statement praising it for paving a “way forward” for the global economy in the wake of the pandemic. As the multi-sector, global response to the coronavirus tightens the noose around civil liberties, CommonPass stands out as one of the most appalling and dangerous attacks on basic human rights in the name of public health and is rife with a potential for abuse so great, that it behooves us to find out more about the people and interests behind it.

  Super Typhoon Goni explodes into 2020’s strongest storm on Earth, and is slamming into Philippines

Powerful Typhoon Lashes Philippines, Killing at Least 10

In just a day’s time, Super Typhoon Goni transformed from an ordinary Pacific cyclone into the year’s most intense storm on the planet. The typhoon is now crashing into the Philippines, first striking Catanduanes Island, home to over 260,000 people. Goni’s explosive intensification occurred over the warm waters in the western Pacific Ocean. Its peak winds catapulted from just shy of 100 mph to nearly 180 mph between Thursday and Friday night local time. By early Sunday morning, its winds had increased to 195 mph. Once its peak winds surpassed 150 mph, it qualified as a “super typhoon,” which is equivalent to a strong Category 4 hurricane in the Atlantic. But it grew even more intense, comparable to a strong Category 5.

 At least 85 dead in Turkey quake; children pulled from debris alive

The death toll in Turkey rose to at least 85 Monday, three days after the magnitude-7.0 earthquake struck. Emergency crews found more bodies in Izmir province on Monday, officials said. Turkey’s Disaster and Emergency Management Authority said almost 60 buildings were severely damaged by the quake, which rocked the city of Izmir, Turkey’s third-largest. Authorities said there have been more than 1,000 aftershocks since Friday, many with at least a magnitude of 4.0. The primary quake registered a magnitude of 7.0, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

 ‘Catastrophic’ hailstorm and a month’s worth of rain in an hour slam Queensland, Australia

A catastrophe has been declared in Queensland after severe thunderstorms, tennis ball-sized hail, and flash flooding pounded the state’s southeast on October 31, 2020, with Brisbane receiving a month’s worth of rain in an hour of 80 mm (3 inches), according to the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM). It was the first catastrophe declaration for the 2020/21 natural disaster season, with insured losses estimated at 60 million dollars, thousands of emergency calls reported, and 42 000 people left without power. Severe thunderstorms and hail up to 14 cm (5.5 inches) in diameter pounded the state’s southeast region. Beachmere recorded 80 mm (3 inches) while The Upper Lockyer received 70 mm (2.7 inches), which was “a month’s rain in the space of an hour,” according to meteorologist Felim Hanniffy. The violent weather resulted in flooding and damages, with the Insurance Council of Australia receiving more than 5 000 claims. The estimated loss amount to 60 million dollars, the majority of which were motor vehicles, while the rest were house damage, including roofs, solar panels, and skylights.

  Iran vows to liberate Golan Heights from Israel

Iran’s judiciary chief, Ebrahim Raisi, told Syria’s ambassador to Iran that it supports the “resistance” to retake the Golan Heights from Israel. He praised Syria and said that Iran and Syria must work together to accelerate the “demise of the fake Israeli regime” using what is called a “resistance strategy.” Iran says it wants to see “active resistance” against Israel, perhaps setting the stage or hinting at new operations. Iran says all the “occupied” areas must be “liberated.” The Syrian regime views the Golan as part of Syria, but the US recognized it as part of Israel. In the past week, Defense Minister Benny Gantz warned Iran and its ally Hezbollah against entrenching near the Golan.

US to allow ‘Israel’ on passports of people born in Jerusalem

The United States will permit ‘Israel’ to be listed on the passports of citizens born in Jerusalem, according to a report by Politico. The move, which was confirmed by a Trump Administration official, could be announced as soon as tomorrow. Until now, US passport holders born in Jerusalem could not list their country of birth as Israel even if they were born in western Jerusalem due to US policy that the status of Jerusalem was to be determined in negotiations with the Palestinian Authority. The change in passport policy comes as the US officially dropped its opposition Wednesday to funding joint research projects in Israel which are conducted in Judea, Samaria, or the Golan Heights.

  Russian President Putin Answers Questions about Nagorno-Karabakh and about Russia-Turkey relations

Concerning Nagorno-Karabakh, Putin stated that Armenia and Azerbaijan are both equal partners for Russia, adding the Moscow would like to develop full-scale relations with both Yerevan and Baku. Commenting on Russia-Turkey relations, Putin said that interaction between the two states is important for both Ankara and Moscow. When renowned Russian intellectual and moderator of the event, Fyodor Lukyanov, asked if Russia should fear what seems to be Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s policy of expanding his zone of influence to the borders of the former Ottoman Empire, Putin stated: “Russia is not afraid of anything. Thank goodness, we are not in a position where we should be afraid of anything. I do not know about President Erdoğan’s plans or his attitude towards the Ottoman legacy. You should ask him about it. But I know that our bilateral trade exceeds $20 billion.” Putin reminded listeners that Russia and Turkey are cooperating together in several fields. He stated that, despite foreign pressure, the TurkStream project was implemented rather quickly, and that Turkey had bought the Russia’s S-400 missile system. “[Erdoğan] said he would do it, and he bought it. Working with such a partner is not only pleasant but also safe,” Putin stressed. Commenting on the Ukraine-Turkey joint statement, issued following the October 16 meeting in Ankara between Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky and Erdoğan calling for the “de-occupation of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol, as well as restoration of Ukraine’s control over certain areas in Donetsk and Luhansk regions of Ukraine,”Putin said: “As for aspirations, regarding Crimea or anything else, I know nothing about them, and I do not care about them because the interests of Russia are reliably protected, take my word for it.”

US seizes Iranian missiles, slaps Iran-related sanctions on 11 entities

A New Nuclear Deal with Iran?

The United States revealed on Thursday it had seized Iranian missiles shipped to Yemen and sold 1.1 million barrels of previously seized Iranian oil that was bound for Venezuela, in the Trump administration’s latest move to increase pressure on Tehran less than a week before Nov. 3 election. The unsealing of the forfeiture complaints, by the Justice Department, came at the same time that the Treasury Department and State Department jointly slapped sanctions on a combined 11 different entities and individuals for their involvement in the purchase and sale of Iranian petrochemicals. The Justice Department’s forfeiture civil cases involve alleged schemes by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) to secretly ship weapons to Yemen and fuel to Venezuela. Assistant Attorney General for the National Security Division John Demers said on Thursday that the US government had sold and delivered 1.1 million barrels of Iranian fuel that had been destined for Venezuela, which it had seized earlier this year. According to the complaint, the fuel originated with firms tied to the IRGC, and shippers took steps to mask ownership. The two vessels carrying the fuel, the Liberia-flagged Euroforce and Singapore-flagged Maersk Progress, had struggled to discharge and shifted course multiple times over the past several weeks.

Russia ‘Open’ to Return of Armenia-Held Land to Azerbaijan – Putin

Azerbaijan inflicts heavy losses on Armenian army, closes in on key town

Azerbaijani Defence Ministry Says Seized More Positions in Nagorno-Karabakh

Nagorno-Karabakh Briefing Oct. 30

Russia is open to Azerbaijan reclaiming seven areas surrounding the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh that Armenia has controlled for 26 years, President Vladimir Putin said Thursday. “Our position is absolutely open about the possibility of handing over these five plus two districts to Azerbaijan, alongside the provision of a specific regime for the Karabakh zone and the securing of a connection with Armenia,” Putin said at an investment forum. “But we need to stop the fighting at the first stage, stop the loss of life and sit at the negotiating table,” he said. Putin raised the possibility of the transfer following three failed attempts at negotiating a ceasefire, the latest in a U.S.-brokered deal over the weekend. He spoke as Nagorno-Karabakh president Arayik Harutyunyan warned that Azeri forces were closing in on the unrecognized republic’s second-largest city of Shusha, which would mark a turning point in the month of fighting.

***Information to consider: this began with cartoon depictions

On Oct. 24- France withdrew its ambassador to Turkey

France has withdrawn its ambassador to Turkey for “consultations” after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan insulted President Emmanuel Macron in television remarks over the treatment of Muslims in France. Macron has vowed to work against “Islamist separatism” in France after a Paris teacher was beheaded in a plot linked to anger over cartoon depictions of the Prophet Muhammad used in a middle school class. “What is the problem of this person called Macron with Muslims and Islam?” Erdogan said in the central Turkish city of Kayseri on Saturday. “Macron needs treatment on a mental level. What else can be said to a head of state who does not understand freedom of belief and who behaves in this way to millions of people living in his country who are members of a different faith?” Erdogan said. “First of all, have mental checks,” Erdogan taunted.

French police named the knifeman detained after he killed three people at Notre Dame Church in central Nice on Thursday, Oct. 29 as “Brahim,” aged 25. He beheaded one of his victims, a woman, in the same way as another jihadist murdered a French teacher earlier this month. At least seven more people were injured. A short time later, another man with a knife was fatally shot by police officers in Avignon. He was shouting “Allahu Akbar” while attacking them.  In the southeastern French city of Lyon, another man armed with a long knife was arrested as he attempted to board a tram. He had been flagged by French intelligence. And in the Saudi town of Jeddah, a local man was arrested for stabbing a security guard outside the French consulate. As jihadist attacks gained in France – with two decapitations in a month – France went on the highest “terror attack emergency” level. A special cabinet meeting on the crisis is scheduled for Friday. President Emmanuel Macron arrived on the scene of the attack at the church in Nice, one of whose caretakers was among the three dead victims. France was still reeling from the beheading earlier this month of a French teacher Samuel Paty for using the Charlie Hebdo satirical magazine’s Prophet cartoons in a class on freedom of expression. President Emmanuel’s outraged response to that latest atrocity was a vow to promote France’s traditional secularism and separation of religion and state. Solidarity marches brandishing the Charlie Hebdo cartoons have taken place since the teacher’s murder. (Five years ago, two Muslim brothers massacred 12 people at the Charlie Hebdo magazine’s office for publishing cartoons.) In a backlash from the Muslim world, France and its president have been accused of an anti-Islam agenda.

Walmart is removing guns and ammo from shelves and display cases in all stores as a precaution amid ‘civil unrest’
The ACLU Is Suing Police Across The Country For “Brutality” In Response To Riots And Looting This Summer
Philadelphia sees wave of ATM, vehicle thefts amid riots, looting: reports

Two arrested with explosives in van during Philadelphia protests

Walmart will remove guns and ammo from all sales floors and displays, Sarah Nassauer at The Wall Street Journal first reported, in a year of record gun sales. “We have seen some isolated civil unrest and as we have done on several occasions over the last few years, we have moved our firearms and ammunition off the sales floor as a precaution for the safety of our associates and customers,” a Walmart spokesman told Business Insider. The retail giant made a similar decision this summer during unrest following the death of George Floyd by police, a move intended to dissuade any potential theft if stores were broken into during protests. Meanwhile, In addition to having to deal with inept politicians and their respective police forces being harassed and assaulted across the U.S., cities are also starting to face another hurdle: lawsuits are stacking up alleging “police brutality” in dealing with “peaceful” protesters. Lawsuits in New York and in other cities create even more financial liabilities for many U.S. cities that are already under distress. Similar cases are also being filed in Omaha, Nebraska; Los Angeles; New York; and Minneapolis.

Europe protests: Anarchy explodes across continent as violent anti-lockdown marches erupt

Paris riot cops disperse protesters with tear gas as harsh 2nd lockdown takes effect in France

Tensions flared in Palermo, the capital of Sicily, as riot police faced off with angry demonstrators who were led by local traders. Business owners across Italy have warned the 6pm closure of bars and restaurants and the complete shutting down of gyms, swimming pools and cinemas will be a death knell for many people’s livelihoods. Infuriated Sicilians took to Corso Vittorio Emanuele, Palermo’s oldest street, to make their anger known to authorities. A journalist was hit by a firecracker and had first aid administered by paramedics at the scene. As riot police used shields to protect themselves from the flying missiles, they chased the protesters along the city’s iconic street before they dispersed into alleys. Italy’s Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte is under mounting pressure to unveil a funding package for businesses affected by the latest raft of coronavirus restrictions. Protests have been taking place in Italian towns and cities since Monday as Italy grapples with a second COVID-19 wave. In Verona there were also scenes of violence as police clashed with far-right demonstrators. Officers responded to the unrest by throwing tear gas canisters into the crowds in a bid to scatter the group. After they had marched through city centre streets, the protesters congregated at Piazza delle Erbe where some people threw firecrackers and other missiles at police.

Lukashenka Closes Belarus’s Borders, Reshuffles Security Team Amid Protests

Belarus Update: Lukashenko Raises Odd Chemical Terrorism Threat

Lukashenko Warns Belarus Protesters He Will ‘Take No Prisoners’

Belarus has partially closed its land borders with all neighbors except Russia for most travelers, amid strongman Alyaksandr Lukashenka’s efforts to end weeks of street protests against a disputed election that gave him a sixth consecutive term as president. The Belarusian Border Control Committee on October 29 announced the closure of borders with Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, and Ukraine, citing the “epidemiological situation” in light of the coronavirus pandemic. But there is speculation that the move might have a political motivation. It came despite Belarusian officials having minimized the threat of the pandemic for months, and follows claims that Belarus’s neighbors have tried to destabilize the situation in the country. A shakeup and appointment of others close to Lukashenka in top security positions signals a tightening of his grip on security across the country and especially in the capital, the epicenter of postelection protests and resulting police violence against peaceful demonstrators.

China is poised to give legal backing to the launch of its own sovereign digital currency, cementing its trailblazer status in virtual currencies far ahead of other countries, after already recently experimenting with large-scale trials of actual payments by consumers, which was met with mixed results. The South China Morning Post reported Tuesday that “The People’s Bank of China (PBOC) published a draft law on Friday that would give legal status to the Digital Currency Electronic Payment (DCEP) system, and for the first time the digital yuan has been included and defined as part of the country’s sovereign fiat currency.” Up until very recently, the whole project has been kept very secretive even during the latest closed, limited tests among select parts of the population. Previous reports described it acting akin to well-known stablecoins in the cryptocurrency world. The design framework for the digital yuan was released one year ago on the heels of Facebook’s ambitious but disastrous Libra token rollout after founding corporate partners split for lack of confidence in the project and on fears US federal regulators would seek to block it just as they did encrypted-messaging company Telegram’s Gram cryptocurrency. “The draft law would also forbid any party from making or issuing yuan-backed digital tokens to replace the renminbi in the market,” SCMP continues.

Earthquake hits Greece and Turkey, bringing deaths and floods

The 7.0 magnitude tremor was centred off Turkey’s Izmir province, the US Geological Survey said. Turkey put the magnitude of the quake at 6.6, saying four people had died and 120 were injured in the city of Izmir. About 20 buildings collapsed. The shallow tremor is reported to have triggered a mini-tsunami that flooded Izmir and the Greek port of Samos.

 Gigantic hailstones measuring more than 8 inches hammer Tripoli, Libya during apocalyptic storm

The capital of Libya, Tripoli has been hit by an unprecedented severe supercell storm on Tuesday, Oct 27th, 2020. The storm produced exceptionally large, *giant* hail, possibly more than 8 inches (20 cm) in diameter. The first reports indicate that hailstones could be one of the largest ever recorded on Earth! Such hail size would definitely fit into the world’s Top 3 giant hailstone events reported globally. Besides the Vivian (south Dakota) hailstorm from 2010 and the so-called ‘gargantuan’ hailstorm in Argentina in 2018. The event occurred on Tuesday afternoon (Oct 27th) when an upper trough was moving across the Mediterranean. A trough axis with a frontal boundary was moving from west to east across the southern portions of the Mediterranean sea. And one of the storms along the front brought an intense organized storm in the early evening hours.

Zeta leaves at least 6 dead and nearly 2 million without power

 Typhoon “Goni” (Rolly) rapidly intensifies into strongest storm of the year, Quezon Province under red alert – Philippines

Zeta has killed at least six people after bringing high winds, heavy rain and up to 10 feet of storm surge in some areas. The storm struck southeastern Louisiana as a powerful Category 2 hurricane on Wednesday, leaving millions without power along the Gulf Coast. Three people in Georgia and one person in Alabama were killed when trees fell on their homes, authorities said. A 55-year-old man in Louisiana died after touching a downed power line, prompting the mayor of New Orleans to warn residents to let safety officials assess the storm’s damage, and a man from Alabama drowned in Biloxi, Mississippi. As of Thursday afternoon, nearly two million people were still without power in Georgia, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Alabama and Mississippi. President Trump has approved disaster declarations for Louisiana and Mississippi. Zeta was the 27th named storm of what has been a record-breaking and devastating hurricane season, with many of the worst storms striking the Gulf Coast.

  Palestinians: International peace summit only way forward

The Palestinian foreign minister is calling for an international peace conference arguing it is the only way to generate momentum to bring Israelis and Palestinians to negotiate a peace agreement. Riad al-Malki strongly backed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’ call for an international conference early next year, telling the UN Security Council on Monday: “Anything else is volatile, and it is futile.” Abbas called for the conference in his virtual address to the UN General Assembly’s annual meeting of world leaders in late September to launch “a genuine peace process.” He called on UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to undertake preparations along with the so-called Quartet of Mideast mediators — the U.S., UN, European Union and Russia. Israel’s new UN Ambassador Gilad Erdan opposed the Palestinian call, accusing Abbas of refusing “every peace offer made by the State of Israel” and attacking Israel’s recent agreements with the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Sudan instead of viewing them as “a new opportunity to kick-start negotiations.” The U.S. ambassador to the United Nations said the Trump administration has “no objection” to meeting international partners. U.S. Ambassador Kelly Craft was skeptical that a conference would produce results, but said the Trump administration was open to the possibility raised by Abbas. “We have no objection to meeting with international partners to discuss the issue. But I have to ask, how is this different than every other meeting convened on this issue over the past 60 years?” Craft asked the council.

Palestinian power struggle as PA police clash with supporters of Abbas rival

Clashes broke out in Ramallah and several refugee camps after Palestinian police broke up a rally in support of exiled Palestinian strongman Mohammed Dahlan and arrested several of his followers, Palestinian and Israeli sources reported Wednesday. Residents of the Al-Amari camp in Ramallah staged a rally near the “Muqata” headquarters of Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas chanting support for Dahlan and were met by Palestinian police in riot gear who broke up the gathering, the Palestinian news website SHFA reported.  Unrest had spread to numerous refugee camps around Judea and Samaria where Dahlan has many loyalists including the Qalandiya and Al-Amari camps just north of Jerusalem as well as the camps in Jenin and Tulkarm, where supporters demanded the release of those arrested. The controversial Dahlan, 59, had been in charge of Gaza security for Fatah, the main Palestinian political faction led by Abbas, but was away from the Gaza Strip when the Hamas terror group seized control in a bloody 2007 military coup. Many in Fatah blamed Dahlan for the loss and later accused him of having murdered Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat. Veteran Arab Affairs analyst Yoni Ben Menachem called the clashes “the battle for inheritance in the Palestinian Authority.” Another Fatah official said that although Dahlan has recently stated publicly that he is not interested in returning to participate in the “dirty games in the Palestinian swamp,” he is gradually working to establish a socio-political movement, one of whose bases will be in eastern Jerusalem.

US acts on declaration settlements are legal, extends deal to West Bank

The US is set to turn its declaration that settlements in Judea and Samaria are not necessarily illegal into action for the first time on Wednesday, expanding a set of scientific cooperation agreements with Israel to include those areas and the Golan Heights. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman plan to sign the revised agreements on Wednesday in Ariel, in Samaria, at which point there will no longer be any agreements between Israel and the US with territorial limitations. In November of last year, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced that the US was returning to the position of former president Ronald Reagan’s administration that “the establishment of Israeli civilian settlements in the West Bank is not per se inconsistent with international law.” In light of that policy, the Trump administration moved to delete the sentence limiting BSF, BIRD and BARD to Israel’s pre-1967 lines. Kontorovich also called the change an “explicit rejection of UN Security Council Resolution 2334,” which the US under former president Barack Obama allowed to pass, and states that settlement activity constitutes a “flagrant violation” of international law and has “no legal validity.” Now, Kontorovich said, “the US is going in the exact opposite direction.”

Israeli defense minister warns Lebanon will pay price for Hezbollah aggression

Hezballah mobilizes reservists to counter Israel’s military drill – report

“Lebanese citizens should know that Hezbollah is their problem, not Israel, because if Hezbollah acts against the State of Israel, Lebanon will pay the price. I hope it does not happen, and we’re here to be prepared for a moment I hope will not come,” said Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz on Tuesday. It was not the first time the defense minister, who is also Israel’s alternate prime minister, has issued such a warning. In July, Gantz said the IDF had been instructed to bomb Lebanese infrastructure if Hezbollah harmed Israeli soldiers or civilians. Gantz also signaled optimism about the prospect of an eventual peace deal between Israel and Lebanon, as the two countries are holding rare indirect talks on demarcating their disputed maritime border. Gantz’s remarks came during a visit to the northern part of the country to observe one of the largest IDF drills ever, which kicked off on Sunday. Dubbed “Lethal Arrow,” the exercise, which is scheduled to last until Thursday, simulates a war with Israel’s enemies along the northern border.

Saudi coalition ‘destroys 6 Houthi drones’ after US embassy warns Americans of potential attack on Riyadh

Houthis vow to bolster Iran ties as Tehran’s new Hezbollah-linked ‘ambassador’ makes appearance

The Saudi-led coalition said on Wednesday it destroyed six bomb-laden drones launched by Yemen’s Houthi rebels toward Saudi Arabia. Earlier in the day, the US Embassy warned Americans of a potential attack on the Saudi capital. The drones were launched in the direction of the kingdom, and six explosive-laden drones were destroyed, Saudi state TV said on Wednesday, citing the Arab coalition fighting the Houthi movement in Yemen. Houthi fighters have targeted the Gulf monarchy several times in recent weeks, the coalition claimed, adding it is taking all necessary measures to protect civilians. Earlier on Wednesday, the US Embassy in Riyadh issued an alert warning its citizens in Saudi Arabia of a potential attack, saying that missiles or drones may be headed toward the city “today, October 28.”

  Turkey threatens new military operation into Syria

Russia-Turkey Competition Escalates Across Theaters

UK Urges NATO Allies to Challenge Turkey: Back French Support of Free Speech

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan threatened Wednesday to launch a new military operation in northern Syria if Kurdish militants are not cleared from areas along its border with Syria. In an address to his ruling party’s legislators in parliament, the Turkish leader also said a Russian airstrike that targeted Turkey-backed Syrian rebels in Idlib earlier this week was an indication that Moscow was not looking for a lasting peace in the region. His comments came days after a suspected Kurdish militant — whom officials said had infiltrated into Turkey from Syria — blew himself up in a town in the border province of Hatay, following a police chase. Security officials killed a second militant. In his first remarks on Monday’s airstrike that killed dozens of fighters, Erdogan said: “Russia’s attack targeting the Syrian National Army forces’ training center is a sign that a lasting peace and calm is not wanted in the region.”

Iran’s IRGC Says It Deployed Troops to Border near Nagorno-Karabakh

Beware of Iran’s underground nuclear facility – analysis

Iran is a Headache for Russia in Syria; it is only mutual fear of Turkey’s expansion that prevents Russia & Iran from coming to blows

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) said on Sunday it deployed troops along Iran’s border with Azerbaijan and Armenia. The decision followed recent reports that mortar fire from clashes between the two sides over Nagorno-Karabakh has hit border villages in Iran. “Units of (the Guards) ground forces have been dispatched to and stationed in the region,” IRGC commander Brigadier General Mohammad Pakpour said 0n Sunday, according to Iran’s state-run Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA). The unit said it stationed troops on the border “to protect national interests and maintain peace and security.” Pakpour said that while Iran respects its neighbors’ territorial integrity, “any shift in border geopolitics is the Islamic Republic of Iran’s red line.” Meanwhile, reports by the International Atomic Energy Administration and the media on Tuesday and Wednesday that confirm Iran’s building of a new centrifuge facility in the mountains around Natanz start a new and dangerous chapter in the nuclear standoff.

Twenty-Eight Taliban Fighters Killed in Southern Afghanistan’s Kandahar Province, Police Say

A heavy clash between the Taliban movement and the Afghan security forces took place in Kandahar’s Arghandab district, and the joint Afghan forces launched air and ground operations against the insurgents, the provincial police spokesman, Nasir Barakzai, said on Wednesday. A total of 28 Taliban* “insurgents were killed and nine others injured” in air and ground operations of the joint Afghan forces in the southern province of Kandahar, Barakzai stated. According to Barakzai, the Taliban were pushed back from Tabin and Joy Lahore areas of the Arghandab district, and they are currently surrounded by the Afghan forces in the area around Mount Bolan. Meanwhile, Kandahar police chief Tadeen Khan told local media later that the insurgents were using civilians’ houses in Chahar Gholba, Babar and Joy Lahore areas as their checkpoints. Khan also pledged that the Afghan forces would soon clear the area of the Taliban. According to the police chief, “40 insurgents” have been killed and wounded in the operation so far.

Armenia/Azerbaijan:Nagorno-Karabakh Briefing

Azerbaijan says 14 people killed by shelling in Barda

Fighting continued Wednesday in the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region after the third attempt at a ceasefire between Armenia and Azerbaijan — a U.S. brokered deal — fell apart within minutes of coming into effect earlier in the week. Azerbaijan said Wednesday an Armenian missile strike on its Barda district near the Nagorno-Karabakh frontline killed 21 civilians, but Yerevan denied carrying out an attack, AFP reported. It would be the deadliest reported attack on civilians since new fighting over the disputed region broke out a month ago and the second in two days that Azerbaijan says killed civilians. Yerevan also accused Azerbaijani forces of deadly new strikes on civilian areas of Karabakh, as both sides claim the other is increasingly targeting civilians after weeks of fierce frontline clashes. Iran announced it was increasing its air defenses along its northern border, which it shares with both Armenia and Azerbaijan, hours after Tehran also increased troop levels in the region. Iran has also offered to join diplomatic efforts to end the fighting alongside Russia and Turkey. Russia has reportedly set up a small military outpost on the border of Armenia in an apparent attempt to keep Azerbaijan’s offensive from spilling over into Armenian territory, Eurasianet reported.

Something Wicked This Way Comes: Anarchy Is Being Loosed Upon the Nation

Protesters gathered outside a Philadelphia police precinct Monday night hours after police shot and killed a man waving a knife in the afternoon, CBS Philly reports. The victim was identified as 27-year old Walter Wallace Jr. Tensions rose as the night wore on. Early Tuesday, a pickup truck driving at a relatively fast clip hit an officer. Video shows a man standing through the roof of the truck’s cab. A bystander can be heard saying, “Oh my god. He hit a cop.”  Philadelphia Police Sergeant Eric Gripp said the officer, a 56-year-old female, was hospitalized in stable condition with a broken leg and other injuries. The pickup was found nearby, unoccupied, he added.   CBS Philly says vandals smashed windows and a glass door and spray-painted walls at a police substation.  According to The Philadelphia Inquirer, there was vandalism and looting in a commercial corridor where police and demonstrators clashed earlier this summer. Police later said 29 other officers were treated and released at hospitals after being hit by thrown rocks and bricks. Authorities reported more than 30 arrests. They said multiple businesses were looted throughout the city. Five police vehicles were vandalized along with one from the fire department, police added.

Belarus Update: Putin Intensifies Russian-Belarusian Military Integration

Belarus’s Interior Minister Hints At Use Of Lethal Force As Lukashenka Likens Protests To A ‘Terrorist’ Threat

Russian President Vladimir Putin achieved a major milestone in his pressure campaign to subordinate Belarus’ military to Russia. Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu and Belarusian Defense Minister Viktor Khrenin adopted a common military doctrine and announced the completed formation of Russian-Belarusian “regional grouping of forces” on October 27.The formation of a Russian-Belarusian regional grouping of forces is a major achievement in Putin’s larger campaign to subordinate former Soviet states’ militaries to Russian-dominated structures. Putin will likely intensify Russian conventional military deployments to Belarus over the next year. Self-declared Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko will likely take action to defuse protests at an upcoming national Belarusian assembly. Lukashenko said on October 27 Belarusians from “all strata of society” will consider constitutional reforms and solve other problems hindering Belarus’ development at the upcoming Sixth All-Belarusian People’s Assembly. Lukashenko has not announced the date for the assembly. Lukashenko likely seeks to use the assembly to conduct a putative intra-Belarusian dialogue during which Lukashenko will announce constitutional amendments or different concessions to placate protesters. The Kremlin will likely intervene to prevent a solution to the protests that does not include Belarus’ deeper integration with Russia.

Nigeria covering up army killing of protesters, Amnesty International says

Hearings begin into killings of Nigerian protesters

Nigerian authorities must stop their attempts to cover up the army’s fatal shooting of unarmed protesters last week in the country’s commercial hub, Lagos, rights group Amnesty International said. “The initial denials of the involvement of soldiers in the shooting was followed by the shameful denial of the loss of lives as a result of the military’s attack against the protests,” Amnesty’s Nigeria spokesman Isa Sanusi said Wednesday in an emailed statement. “Many people are still missing since the day of the incident, and credible evidence shows that the military prevented ambulances from reaching the severely injured in the aftermath.” A week after the killing of activists protesting police brutality in Nigeria’s largest city, a Lagos state government judicial panel began hearings into the violence on Tuesday. President Muhammadu Buhari tweeted on Sunday that the panel had his “full support”, but protesters say his administration has for years ignored their calls for reform. The eight-person Judicial Panel of Restitution at the Lagos Court of Arbitration will look at the claims against SARS, which was disbanded on October 11 in response to the protests, and also investigate last Tuesday’s deadly incident at Lekki Toll Gate.

   U.S. Offers Advanced Fighter Jets to India amid Border Tensions with China

Chinese Media Threaten to Bomb Taiwan’s U.S.-Made Weapons

American troops could be sent to ‘defend the Senkaku Islands’, US commander says

The United States offered advanced F-18 naval fighter jets to India during Tuesday’s “2+2” meeting in Hyderabad between Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Defense Secretary Mark Esper, and their Indian counterparts. India and America signed a major defense agreement at the meeting. Pompeo said the agreement reflected that the governments and people of America and India “see with increasing clarity” that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is “no friend to democracy, the rule of law, transparency, nor to freedom of navigation — the foundation of a free and open and prosperous Indo-Pacific.” Meanwhile, China’s state-run Global Times issued the latest denunciation of U.S. arms sales to Taiwan on Tuesday, adding a threat to deliver the “ultimate warning” by sending the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) to “destroy” the weapons Taiwan purchased from America. The Global Times implied the time has come to adjust Taiwan’s attitude with military force, since “the long-term peace in the Taiwan Straits has emboldened Taiwan secessionists,” while the governing Democratic Political Party (DPP) is “becoming increasingly unbridled, thinking they have gained more support from the U.S.”

JPMorgan creates new unit for blockchain projects, says the technology is close to making money

Negative rates and digital currencies coming to a country near you

A new world monetary order is coming

At JPMorgan Chase, the firm’s digital currency JPM Coin is being used commercially for the first time this week by a large technology client to send payments around the world, said Takis Georgakopoulos, the bank’s global head of wholesale payments. That development, along with other behind-the-scene moves, persuaded JPMorgan to create a new business to house its blockchain and digital currency efforts called Onyx, Georgakopoulos said last week in a phone interview. The unit has more than 100 dedicated staffers, he said. JPMorgan’s move could provide a boost to the broader blockchain and cryptocurrency industries, whose proponents believe that mainstream adoption is nearing. Digital currencies popped last week after PayPal announced that users could soon buy, hold and sell crypto directly from their accounts.

  Millions affected as Typhoon “Molave” hits central Vietnam – the country’s worst storm in 20 years

Typhoon “Molave” made landfall over Quang Nam and Quang Tri provinces in Vietnam’s central region at 04:00 UTC (11:00 LT) on Wednesday, October 28, 2020, with maximum sustained winds of 165 km/h (103 mph) — a Category 2 hurricane equivalent. At least 2 people have been killed, 26 others are missing, and more than 1.7 million families were affected. The storm, which was described as the most powerful to hit Vietnam in the last 20 years, is worsening the current situation in the country as it is still suffering from major floods and landslides that took the lives of more than 150 people over the past weeks. On Tuesday, October 27, winds of up to 135 km/h (84 mph) battered the area between Thua Thien-Hue and Phu Yen provinces. The region has recorded 250 mm (10 inches) of rainfall since the evening. Gia Lai in the Central Highlands was also hit by heavy rains and strong winds. More than 1.7 million families have been affected by power outages, according to the Central Power Corporation.

The prophet Ezekiel was given specific details on this coming attack.  In verse 8 of Ezekiel 38, God says an attack will occur in the “future years.”  This statement refers to end times or at the time Israel is a young nation again.  It is important to remember the attack will come against Israel when all the other prophecies are also being fulfilled at the same time, which they are now.  So as warned by Ezekiel get ready to witness Israel remove the walls, gates and bars that are currently standing.

Ezekiel 38:¹¹ And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,

Daniel 9:27

Quote below from page 390 of my Sept. 18, 2020 edition of The Last Chronicles of Planet Earth

“At this time I am going to jump from my time from 2006, to 2020.  Why?  On September 15, 2020 there was a major news event that no doubt points to why Israel will feel safe enough to have no walls,  gates, or bars for protection as seen in Ezekiel 38: 10-11.  Jarad Kushner working under President Donald Trump for the past three and a half years managed to bring many Islamic nations to the peace table with Israel.  The Times Of Israel September 1, 2020 reported the following. “Senior White House adviser Jared Kushner predicted Tuesday that all other Arab countries will gradually follow the United Arab Emirates in normalizing ties with Israel, causing the “vocal minority” that opposes the move to become increasingly isolated in the region. Asked in an interview with the UAE’s WAM news agency whether he believed all 22 Arab states could eventually recognize Israel, US President Donald Trump’s son-in-law replied: “100 percent.”

Photo from The Times Of Israel

“Two weeks after Kushner stated he believes all 22 Arab states will sign a peace deal with Israel the first group of Arab nations signed the peace deal  called The Abraham Accords with Israel.”

Oct. 24, 2020

“Donald Trump said Friday he expects Saudi Arabia to open diplomatic ties with Israel soon, following the announcement that Sudan had agreed to normalize relations with the Jewish state. “So we have many countries, as you know, getting ready, and we also have — I’m sure you’ll see Saudi Arabia there very soon,” the president said in remarks to the press from the Oval Office. “I really believe that will happen too, and very good relations with Saudi Arabia and so you’ll see something very special.”

Below is quote from page 433 of my Sept. 18,2020 book.

Ten days later, Netanyahu traveled to Washington in an effort to put the U.S.-Israel relationship back on more solid footing, but as The Wall Street Journal reported, the prime minister “was snubbed at a White House meeting with President Obama — no photo op, no joint statement, and he was sent out through a side door.” Washington Post columnist and Middle East expert Jackson Diehl wrote that “Netanyahu is being treated as if he were an unsavory Third World dictator.” And ambassador Michael Oren called Israel’s rift with America “the worst with the U.S. in 35 years.”

• Iran would be permitted to keep some 5,060 centrifuges, one-third of which would continue to spin in perpetuity.

• Iran would receive $150 billion in sanctions relief—”some portion” of which, according to Obama-Biden National Security Advisor Susan Rice, “we should expect … would go to the Iranian military and could potentially be used for the kinds of bad behavior that we have seen in the region up until now.”

Iran accuses Sudan of paying ‘ransom’ to US for Israel deal

Iran reacted angrily to Sudan becoming the fifth Arab nation to establish diplomatic relations with Israel, saying Saturday that the Sudanese government paid a ransom to Washington for a “phony” deal. Last Monday, Trump announced that Sudan had agreed to pay $335 million to the U.S. in compensation for terror attacks and in return he would remove Sudan from the list of state sponsors of terrorism. Iran slammed the move, calling it “a prize for normalizing relations with Israel … revealing that the terrorism list is nothing but an instrument to pressure countries to comply with the U.S. demands,” Iran’s Fars News reported. Egypt, the UAE and Bahrain all praised the news, with Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi tweeting “I value all efforts aimed at achieving regional stability and peace.” In Europe, Germany’s foreign ministry called the deal “another important step towards greater stability and a more peaceful relationship between Israel and its Arab neighbors,” saying that the “U.S. has played a crucial role in mediating these agreements, for which it deserves thanks and recognition.”

Hamas delegation heads to Cairo for talks with Palestinian rival Fatah

A delegation from the Islamist terrorist group Hamas will head to Cairo for reconciliation talks with Palestinian political rival Fatah on Sunday, the organization said in a statement. Concerns over a recent string of diplomatic victories for Israel in the Arab world have given the Palestinian political foes an incentive to relaunch reconciliation talks as they see their closest allies back away from their cause for an independent state in favor of forging ties with Jerusalem and Washington DC. Jerusalem officials believe Oman and Saudi Arabia could be next to strike peace with Israel. The Hamas delegation is also scheduled to discuss bilateral relations with Egypt, regional politics, and the Gaza Strip’s current humanitarian situation. Cairo has long posed as an unofficial mediator in Palestinian reconciliation talks.

  Egypt pushes for progress on Syria talks, inciting Turkish anger

Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry supports a political settlement for the Syrian crisis and has rejected “foreign intervention” in the country. The later comment has enraged Ankara because it highlights Turkey’s destabilizing role in northern Syria, where extremists operate in areas occupied by Turkey. Ankara says it is merely guaranteeing security and that it is not against Syria’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. Last week, Egypt joined the so-called “Small Group” of countries to discuss Syria at a ministerial level. These include Egypt, France, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the UK and the US. Turkey’s leader on Saturday said Turkey would not allow a “terror state” to exist in Syria, an apparent reference to Kurdish groups that Turkey claims are “terrorists.” There have been no terrorist attacks on Turkey from Syria.

Airstrike in northwestern Syria kills over 50 rebel fighters

An airstrike on a rebel training camp in northwestern Syria on Monday killed more than 50 Turkish-backed fighters and wounded nearly as many, a Syrian opposition spokesman and a war monitor said. The airstrike in the northwestern part of Idlib province, the last rebel enclave in Syria, targeted a military training camp for Failaq Al-Sham, one of the largest Turkish-backed opposition groups in Syria, said Youssef Hammoud, a spokesman for the groups. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which monitors the war in Syria, gave a higher toll, at 78 fighters dead and nearly 90 wounded. Rescue missions were still underway, the Observatory said. It said it also suspected the airstrike was carried out by Russia, which is a close ally of Syrian President Bashar Assad in the country’s civil war.

Iraqi Forces, Protesters Clash in Baghdad, Injuries on Both Sides

Iraqi security forces clashed with anti-government demonstrators in Baghdad on Sunday with at least 39 people, most of them police officers, injured by projectiles unleashed from each side, security officials said. Police sources said tear gas canisters being fired by security forces had injured at least seven people. A separate statement from a military spokesman said at least 32 members of the security forces were injured by hand grenades thrown by a group he suggested had hidden among otherwise peaceful protesters, without elaborating. Politicians have expressed concern at the possibility of peaceful protests being hijacked by rioters, which could set off a spiral of violence such as that witnessed last year. Renewed anti-government rallies converged on Sunday to mark a year since mass unrest over corruption and widespread deprivation in oil-rich Iraq. More than 500 people have been killed in the disturbances.

   France withdraws ambassador to Turkey amid rising tension with Erdogan

Turkish president dares U.S. to impose economic sanctions

Greece Accuses Turkey of ‘Fueling Tensions’, Violating International Law in Eastern Mediterranean

France has withdrawn its ambassador to Turkey for “consultations” after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan insulted President Emmanuel Macron in television remarks over the treatment of Muslims in France. Macron has vowed to work against “Islamist separatism” in France after a Paris teacher was beheaded in a plot linked to anger over cartoon depictions of the Prophet Muhammad used in a middle school class. “What is the problem of this person called Macron with Muslims and Islam?” Erdogan said in the central Turkish city of Kayseri on Saturday. “Macron needs treatment on a mental level. What else can be said to a head of state who does not understand freedom of belief and who behaves in this way to millions of people living in his country who are members of a different faith?” Erdogan said. “First of all, have mental checks,” Erdogan taunted. France and Turkey have been drawn into the increasingly violent Nagorno-Karabakh conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan, with European neighbors attempting to broker a ceasefire in Moscow. Ergodan has been actively supporting Azerbaijan by criticizing air attacks on civilians from Armenia. France also supports Greece and Cyprus in a simmering conflict with Turkey over off-shore oil drilling in the Mediterranean.

At least 24 people were killed and dozens wounded in Saturday’s suicide bomb attack outside an education centre in Kabul, Afghan officials now say. The explosion at the private facility, which offers courses for students in higher education, occurred late in the afternoon, the interior ministry said. The building in the predominantly Shia Muslim Dasht-e-Barchi area usually hosts hundreds of students. The Islamic State (IS) group said it was behind the attack. It did not provide any evidence to back up its claim issued via its usual social media outlets. Earlier, the Taliban denied involvement in the attack. Meanwhile, A U.S. air strike launched to support Afghan security forces killed five Taliban fighters in central Afghanistan on Sunday evening, a spokesman for U.S. forces in Afghanistan said.

Third attempt at Karabakh ceasefire quickly collapses

Azerbaijan Intensifies Offensive Along Line of Contact, Armenia Says

A third attempt at halting weeks of fighting over Nagorno-Karabakh collapsed quickly on Monday with Armenia and Azerbaijan trading accusations of violating the US-brokered ceasefire within minutes. As fighting over the disputed region enters its second month, international mediators are scrambling to bring a stop to frontline clashes and shelling of civilian areas that have left hundreds dead. The latest “humanitarian ceasefire” was announced by Washington on Sunday, after truces brokered by Russia and France fell apart over previous weekends. It took less than an hour after the ceasefire was due to begin at 8:00 am (0400 GMT) for the first accusations to be made. Azerbaijan’s foreign ministry said Armenian forces had shelled the town of Terter and nearby villages in “gross violation” of the truce. Armenia’s defence ministry said Azerbaijani forces had violated the truce with artillery fire on combat positions in various parts of the frontline. Karabakh’s separatist forces said Azerbaijan was continuing to shell civilian areas and had fired missiles at a village in its Martuni district.

Protests calling for justice in the death of Bender erupted outside the King Tut Liquor store on Friday. Social media posts show demonstrators shouting, “Abolish the police!” “Defund the police!” and “F*** the police!” The protest spilled out into the streets, where protesters blocked an intersection.

Belarus opposition leader says supporters launching strike

Protests Erupt For Second Straight Day in Belarus as Strike Action Begins

Belarus opposition leader Svetlana Tikhanovskaya said Monday supporters were beginning a nationwide strike after her deadline expired for strongman Alexander Lukashenko to step down. Tikhanovskaya had given Lukashenko until Sunday to quit power, halt violence against protesters and release political prisoners, warning he would otherwise face a general strike from Monday. The 66-year-old Lukashenko, who the opposition accuses of stealing August polls, ignored the ultimatum and police cracked down on the latest of a series of opposition protests on Sunday. Several thousand pensioners and students took to the streets of Minsk on Monday to back the workers, an AFP reporter said. Independent reporting inside Belarus has been curtailed and it was not possible to immediately estimate the scale of the industrial action. Citing witnesses, Onliner, a local news outlet, said that police deployed patrol vans and other vehicles outside major plants including the Grodno Azot chemical plant, the Minsk Automobile Plant and Minsk Tractor Works.

Thailand rocked by protests as prime minister won’t step down

Thailand convened a two-day emergency session of parliament on Monday, hastily called to deal with the enduring pro-democracy protests that are demanding constitutional changes, reforms to the monarchy and the resignation of Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha. “The prime minister must resign,” said opposition leader Sompong Amornwiwat, echoing demands of tens of thousands of protestors who had set a deadline of last Saturday for the premier to step down. Prayuth refused. Protestors are standing firm on three major demands: the resignation of the prime minister, the rewriting of the military-drafted constitution and reform of the near-absolute power of the monarchy. At the heart of their anger stands the prime minister who many accuse of a political power grab years in the making. In 2014, then-general Prayuth Chan-ocha was appointed premier after a bloodless military coup in 2014. In 2019, he was elected prime minister in a general election, running as a civilian after stepping down from the army. That vote has been criticized for being “heavily tilted to benefit the military junta” by the election monitor Asian Network for Free Elections. Critics of Thailand’s current constitution allege it was written in such a way as to allow the prime minister to retain power after the 2019 elections. Anger at Thailand’s monarchy has been rising too, with thinly-veiled, unprecedented animus towards recently-ascended King Maha Vajiralongkorn. Critics have called him corrupt and a playboy. On Monday, protesters marched to the German Embassy in Bangkok, reportedly to draw attention to the time the monarch spends in the country.

Nigeria protests: Police chief deploys ‘all resources’ amid street violence

Nigeria’s chief of police has ordered the immediate mobilisation of all police resources to put an end to days of street violence and looting. Mohammed Adamu said criminals had hijacked anti-police brutality protests and taken over public spaces. A new wave of looting was reported on Sunday, a day after Mr Adamu ordered police to end the “violence, killings, looting and destruction of property”. Protests calling for an end to police brutality began on 7 October. The demonstrations, dominated by young people, started with calls for a police unit, the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (Sars), to be disbanded. President Muhammadu Buhari dissolved the Sars unit – accused of harassment, extortion, torture and extrajudicial killings – days later, but the protests continued, demanding broader reforms in the way Nigeria is governed. They escalated after unarmed protesters were shot in the nation’s biggest city, Lagos, on Tuesday. Rights group Amnesty International said security forces killed at least 12 people. Nigeria’s army has denied any involvement.

  What ‘The Great Reset’ Architects Don’t Want You To Understand About Economics

It shouldn’t come as a surprise that the Vice President of the World Bank Carmen Reinhardt recently warned on October 15 that a new financial disaster looms ominously over the horizon with a vast sovereign default and a corporate debt default. Just in the past 6 months of bailouts unleashed by the blowout of the system induced by the Coronavirus lockdown, Reinhardt noted that the U.S. Federal Reserve created $3.4 Trillion out of thin air while it took 40 years to create $14 Trillion. Meanwhile panicking economists are screaming in tandem that banks across Trans Atlantic must unleash ever more hyperinflationary quantitative easing which threatens to turn our money into toilet paper while at the same time acquiescing to infinite lockdowns in response to a disease which has the fatality levels of a common flu. The fact of the oncoming collapse itself should not be a surprise- especially when one is reminded of the $1.5 quadrillion of derivatives which has taken over a world economy which generates a mere $80 trillion/year in measurable goods and trade. These nebulous bets on insurance on bets on collateralized debts known as derivatives didn’t even exist a few decades ago, and the fact is that no matter what the Federal Reserve and European Central Bank have attempted to do to stop a new rupture of this overextended casino bubble of an economy in recent months, nothing has worked. Zero to negative percent interest rates haven’t worked, opening overnight repo loans of $100 billion/night to failing banks hasn’t worked- nor has $4.5 trillion of bailout unleashed since March 2020. No matter what these financial wizards try to do, things just keep getting worse. Rather than acknowledge what is actually happening, scapegoats have been selected to shift the blame away from reality to the point that the current crisis is actually being blamed on the Coronavirus.

  Trump Administration Concerned SEC Dragging Its Feet on Digital Currency as China Races Ahead

What Are Central Bank Digital Currencies?

There is growing concern within the Trump administration that Securities and Exchange Commission chairman Jay Clayton is not doing enough to counter growing Chinese dominance in digital currency, which will harm American companies wishing to compete in what is seen as the future of currency. But concern with Clayton has been growing for months about what the Trump administration sees as his counterproductive approach, as head of the agency that makes determinations on how the U.S. government regulates digital assets. So far, under Clayton, the SEC has concluded that only two digital assets should be considered non-securities regulated under the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, which is a better regulatory environment than the SEC. Those two digital assets are the Chinese-controlled bitcoin and ether.

 Churches Attacked Amid Police Brutality Protests in Nigeria

Protests against police brutality in Nigeria that grew into generalized unrest over poor government took on a religious dimension this week with attacks on Christians and church buildings. Following peaceful protests that began earlier this month against torture and killings by Special Anti­­-­Robbery Squad (SARS) forces, counter-demonstrations against the #EndSARS protestors and shootings by security forces escalated tensions. On Monday and Tuesday (Oct. 19-20) Christian leaders in Plateau, Kano and Kogi states led prayer walks of thousands of Christians in appeals for peace. As various cultural and political groups expanded the protests to include their own interests, suspected Muslim agitators took advantage of the chaos to attack churches, sources said. In Kogi state on Monday (Oct. 19), following a prayer walk in Anyigba, Christians praying inside the Dunamis Christian Centre were attacked by suspected Muslim antagonists, an area resident said.

Zeta strengthens into Category 1 hurricane

Vietnam is preparing to evacuate around 1.3 million people as it braces for Typhoon “Molave” which is set to make landfall in the country’s central region on Wednesday, October 28, 2020. The storm is feared to worsen the country’s flood situation in which at least 150 people lost their lives. Meanwhile, the storm has wreaked havoc in the Philippines after it struck the nation on Monday, October 26, leaving at least 13 people missing. “This is a very strong typhoon that will impact a large area,” said Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc, warning residents in the storm’s path to prepare. “Troops must deploy full force to support people, including mobilizing helicopters, tanks, and other means of transportation if needed,” he added.  Meanwhile, Zeta has become a hurricane as it heads toward Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula resorts. The storm is on path that will likely bring a landfall on the central U.S. Gulf Coast at midweek.

Israeli strike targets Iranian, Hezbollah forces in Syria

Syrian state media reported on Wednesday that Israel had launched a rocket at a school in the country’s Quneitra Governorate, causing material damage but no casualties. According to the SANA news agency, the Israeli strike, which took place at 12:05 a.m., targeted a school in al-Hurryia village in northern Quneitra. According to a U.K.-based Syrian war monitor, the early morning attack targeted a school hosting Iranian forces and groups loyal to the Lebanese Shi’ite terror group Hezbollah. Citing “reliable sources,” the pro-opposition group Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said that there were “confirmed reports of casualties” following the strike, which it also attributed to Israel.

Hamas has secret cyber headquarters in Turkey – report

Hamas has a secret cyberwarfare and counter-intelligence headquarters in Turkey directed by military leadership in Gaza, British daily The Times reported citing Western intelligence. The headquarters deals primarily with funding and coordination and was set up two years ago in Turkey’s most populous city, Istanbul. According to the report, the headquarters is directed by Samakh Saraj, a senior Hamas member based in Gaza who reports directly to the Yahya Sinwar, Hamas’s leader in the Gaza Strip. The secret headquarters are also reportedly responsible for the purchasing of equipment that can be used for the manufacture of weapons, and coordinating cyber-operations against Hamas’ enemies, including the Palestinian Authority in Gaza, and embassies of countries such as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. It also oversees surveillance and interrogation – in some cases of those within Hamas’ own ranks suspected of disloyalty according to the report.

Sudan putting final touches on peace deal with Israel

Sudan-Israel normalization announcement likely this weekend

Trump: Sudan to join UAE, Bahrain in recognizing Israel

Sudanese officials confirmed on Thursday that a senior U.S.-Israeli delegation flew to Sudan on a private jet this week to wrap up a deal that would make Sudan the third Arab country to normalize ties with Israel this year. Official data posted on the website FlightAware said a private plane flew Wednesday from Tel Aviv to the Sudanese capital of Khartoum, where it stayed for roughly seven hours before returning to Tel Aviv. Two senior Sudanese officials confirmed the visit. One of them, a senior military figure, said the U.S.-Israeli delegation came to put final touches on a deal establishing ties with Israel. The delegation included Ronen Peretz, the acting director-general of Netanyahu’s office, and Brig. Gen. Miguel Correa, the senior director for Gulf Affairs on the U.S. National Security Council, the official said.

Saudi Arabia will soon move to normalize ties with Israel, official predicts

A senior defense official on Thursday predicted Saudi Arabia would soon move to normalize ties with Israel. The comments by the official, who spoke to reporters as Defense Minister Benny Gantz visited America, came amid reports that Sudan was poised to follow the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain in normalizing diplomatic relations with the Jewish state. “Soon Sudan and later Saudi Arabia will come out of the closet,” the official was quoted saying by Hebrew media, without further elaborating. Saudi leaders have publicly ruled out forging ties with Israel before a Palestinian state is created, even as they have welcomed the normalization deals between the Jewish state and Gulf Arab states signed in Washington last month.

Iraj Masjedi.

Egypt vents anger as Turkey takes center stage in reconciliation of Palestinian factions

An agreement between Palestinian factions for a further meeting and the setting of a date for elections has stalled, with fears that anger from Cairo over Turkey’s sponsorship of the reconciliation process among rival parties has led to the delays. Egypt’s dissatisfaction with Fatah and Hamas over their decision to hold bilateral meetings towards reconciliation in Istanbul under Turkish sponsorship has delayed the setting of a date for a subsequent meeting of the Palestinian factions’ leaders. Conscious of Cairo’s anger at Ankara’s influence over the talks, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has delayed issuing a presidential decree setting the date for elections, a major step that was agreed upon between the two movements in Istanbul on 24 September. Egypt, which has been the main mediator and traditional host of Palestinian reconciliation talks between Fatah and Hamas since their breach in 2007, has not issued any official negative response to the results of the Istanbul meeting.

Turkey’s withdrawal in Idlib may be omen of war
Bombing kills Syrian cleric key to deals with rebels

Turkey has begun withdrawing from military observation posts in regime-held enclaves in Idlib, the last rebel stronghold in Syria, but the move looks more like an omen of war for the region than a sign of reconciliation and retreat. The outpost at Morek, one of several encircled by Syrian government forces since their capture of the key M5 highway in February, was evacuated Oct. 19-20, with others expected to follow suit. Turkey has been under growing Russian pressure to leave the surrounded outposts. Most recently, the issue was raised at Sept. 16 military talks in Ankara, with the Russian side pressing for Turkey to leave the outposts, reduce its military presence elsewhere, remove its heavy weapons from the region and push armed groups away from the M4 highway, the other key road in Idlib. Turkey’s military buildup in Idlib may appear a deterrence effort, but is clearly setting a stage where a small spark might ignite a destructive war.

Erdogan confirms testing Russian S-400

Greece Calls for the Suspension of EU-Turkey Customs Union in Diplomatic Offensive

The US Embassy in Ankara said on Friday it was temporarily suspending all American citizen and visa services at missions in Turkey over credible reports of potential terrorist attacks and kidnappings against US citizens in Istanbul. “The US Mission in Turkey has received credible reports of potential terrorist attacks and kidnappings against US citizens and foreign nationals in Istanbul, including against the US Consulate General, as well as potentially other locations in Turkey,” the embassy said. A US Embassy spokesperson said the statement was issued after an ongoing assessment of security conditions in Turkey. Meanwhile, Turkey’s president on Friday confirmed the country tested its Russian-made S-400 missile defense system, despite objections from the United States. “America’s stance is absolutely not binding for us,” he said. “We aren’t going to ask America.”

Iran To Import North Korean Missiles In 25-Year Military Deal With China

Iran’s Pact With China Is Bad News for the West

What is behind the hype about the new Iran-China partnership?

Following the end on the 18th of October of the 13-year United Nations’ embargo on Iran buying or selling weapons, the roll-out of the military component of the 25-year deal between China and Iran will begin in November, as exclusively revealed by Oil Price.com. After a series of meetings in China on the 9th and 10th of October between Iran’s Foreign Minister, Mohammad Zarif, and his China counterpart, Wang Yi, this military component may now also feature the deployment in Iran of North Korean weaponry and technology, in exchange for oil, according to sources very close to the Iranian government spoken to by OilPrice.com last week. Most notably this would include Hwasong-12 mobile ballistic missiles, with a range of 4,500 kilometers, and the development of liquid propellant rocket engines suitable for intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) or satellite launch vehicles (SLVs). This will all be part of a broader triangular relationship coordinated by Beijing and further facilitated by the imminent launch of a new digitized currency system by China. According to JIR and other defense sources, this early-stage co-operation in this area between North Korea and Iran also included Iranian personnel travelling to North Korea for training in the operation and manufacture of these missiles and the stationing of North Korean personnel in Iran during the build-out of missile plants. This model of knowledge and skills transference, of course, has been a key part of the 25-year deal between Iran and China since it was formally agreed back in 2016, including the training of up to 130 young, fast-tracked officers from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) every year at various military institutions across mainland China.

The country has been plagued by accidents at industrial facilities in recent months. The fire broke out at the aromatics unit of a petrochemical plant in the port city of Bandar Mahshahr, state broadcaster IRIB reported. Firefighters from the plant as well as regional fire teams were called to the site and managed to contain the blaze.

Pompeo steps up efforts to end Nagorno-Karabakh fighting

Presence of Fighters from Syria in Nagorno Karabakh Ramps up Pressure on Russia to Intervene

Turkey to Send Troops to Combat Armenia in Nagorno-Karabakh?

Azerbaijan and ethnic Armenian forces clashed in several parts of Nagorno-Karabakh on Friday, as the United States stepped up diplomatic efforts to try to end the deadliest fighting in the mountain enclave for over a quarter of a century. U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo met separately with the foreign ministers of Azerbaijan and Armenia in a new attempt to end nearly a month of bloodshed in which Russian President Vladimir Putin said 5,000 people may have been killed. The collapse of two Russia-brokered ceasefires has dimmed hopes of a quick end to fighting that broke out on Sept. 27 over Nagorno-Karabakh, a breakaway territory which is within Azerbaijan but is controlled by ethnic Armenians. Shortly before the Washington talks were due to start, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan told reporters in Istanbul that he hoped Moscow and Ankara could work together on resolving the conflict. Reiterating demands for a Turkish role in mediation which has long been led by the United States, Russia and France, he said: “Turkey believes it has just as much right as Russia to be involved here for peace.” Both ministers held separate meetings with Pompeo that lasted around 30 to 40 minutes. Asked how his talks went, Armenian Foreign Minister Zohrab Mnatsakanyan told reporters: “Very good” as he exited the State Department, and added that work on a ceasefire would continue.

Kyrgyzstan: Lawmakers approve election delay and constitutional overhaul

Parliament in Kyrgyzstan has voted to postpone parliamentary elections and approved a proposal to overhaul the constitution, setting the stage for rival political forces to haggle furiously over how the country is to be run in future. The bill adopted on October 22 means that do-over parliamentary elections to make up for the now-nixed vote from earlier this month could take place as late as the start of June 2021, instead of by December 20, as was previously required. Of the 120 sitting members of parliament, 83 voted in favor of the bill. A note attached to the bill on delaying the elections stated that the proposal was motivated by a desire to “stabilize the social, political, epidemiological and economic situation in the country, and also to increase the trust of citizens in the elections.”

Thailand’s Prime Minister lifts state of emergency. Protesters give him three days to resign

Thailand’s Prime Minister has revoked emergency measures imposed on Bangkok following more than a week of daily anti-government protests in the nation’s capital and other cities. An announcement in the Royal Gazette on Thursday said “as it has appeared the severe situation which had resulted in an enactment of emergency decree, has resolved and halted.” The new order, which came into effect at midday in Bangkok, said the situation had returned to a state where normal law enforcement can address the situation. It follows a pre-recorded televised speech from Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha on Wednesday, who said he is taking the first steps to “de-escalate” political tensions that have seen tens of thousands of protesters take to the streets in recent months, calling for a new constitution, monarchy reform and Prayut’s resignation. “The protestors have made their voices and views heard,” Prayut said. “As the leader of the nation who is responsible for the welfare of all Thais — whether they be protestors or the silent majority with whatever political convictions — I will make the first move to de-escalate this situation.”

 China vows retaliation if US proceeds with Taiwan arms sale

China “Steps Up War Preparations” With Hypersonic Missile Deployment Across From Taiwan

China has vowed to retaliate if the U.S. proceeds with the sale of advanced weaponry to Taiwan worth more than a billion dollars. The statement from China’s defense ministry gave no specifics, but the development marks a further deterioration in ties between Beijing and Washington that have hit their lowest ebb in decades. The statement issued late Thursday night demanded the cancellation of the sale and an end to all interactions between the U.S. and Taiwanese militaries in order to “avoid serious repercussions for relations between China and the U.S. and their armed forces and peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait.” The State Department on Wednesday announced it had greenlighted the sale of 135 precision land attack missiles, associated equipment and training to Taiwan to improve its defense capabilities. The package is worth just over a billion dollars, it said in a statement. The missiles are made by Boeing. Meanwhile, China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) has reportedly deployed hypersonic missiles across from Taiwan, Hong Kong media reported on Sunday, sparking concern about war preparations. The South China Morning Post, citing anonymous military observers and sources, said missile bases along Southeast China were “upgraded” with Dongfeng-17 (DF-17) hypersonic missiles.

   Central Bank Digital Currency, A Growth Or Financial Repression Tool?

BofA: Fed Will Use Digital Dollars To Unleash Inflation, Universal Basic Income And Debt Forgiveness

The main central banks have been discussing the idea of implementing a digital currency. The rationale behind it escapes many citizens. Most transactions in the main global currencies are conducted digitally and one could say that the largest and most traded currencies, the US Dollar, Euro, Yen, British Pound, Swiss Franc, and the Yuan are already functioning as mostly digital money. So, what are central banks saying when they talk about a new and different digital currency? It is basically another step in the effort to gradually get rid of physical currencies, with an idea of strengthening control of the payments and make it simpler to trace the use of a particular means of payment. It is also aimed at competing with global cryptocurrencies. Most will state that the reasons behind the idea of a central bank digital currency are efficiency and improving the transmission mechanism of monetary policy.

  Pope Francis endorses same-sex civil unions in new documentary film

Vatican Renews Controversial Agreement with Chinese Communist Party

Pope Francis endorsed same-sex civil unions for the first time as pope while being interviewed for the feature-length documentary “Francesco,” which premiered Wednesday at the Rome Film Festival. The papal thumbs-up came midway through the film that delves into issues Francis cares about most, including the environment, poverty, migration, racial and income inequality, and the people most affected by discrimination. “Homosexual people have the right to be in a family. They are children of God,” Francis said in one of his sit-down interviews for the film. “What we have to have is a civil union law; that way they are legally covered.” Meanwhile, The Vatican has extended its controversial 2018 agreement with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) regarding the naming of Catholic bishops in the country The original agreement was “secret” and the details of the accord were never made public. Thursday’s announcement added no new information regarding exactly how much authority the Vatican has yielded to the CCP in the naming of bishops. Critics of the agreement have noted that persecution of religious believers in China has not lessened since the original signing of the accord in 2018, but has intensified.

 Palestinians accuse Gulf visitors of ‘desecrating’ Al-Aqsa Mosque

Abbas’s Fatah warns Jerusalem Arabs against UAE funding

A recent visit by Gulf Arabs to al-Aqsa Mosque has sparked outrage among east Jerusalem residents and the Palestinian ruling Fatah faction, who accused the visitors of promoting normalization with Israel and “desecrating” the holy site. Palestinians initially claimed that the visitors were from Oman. Later, however, they said the delegation members who prayed at the mosque were from the United Arab Emirates. Eyewitnesses said the Emirati delegation entered al-Aqsa compound “under Israeli police protection.” The delegation consisted of nine men and one woman, they said, adding that the Wakf Department was not notified in advance of the visit. Shadi Mtour, a Fatah leader from east Jerusalem, accused the Gulf visitors of “storming al-Aqsa Mosque,” a phrase regularly used by Palestinians to describe tours by Jews to the Temple Mount. During the visit, the police detained three Muslim worshipers who chanted slogans denouncing the Emirati visitors: As’ad Ajjaj, Amjad al-Sumari and Ahmed Sublaban.

Islamic State tells supporters to target Saudi Arabia over Israel ties

An Islamic State spokesman called on the militant group’s supporters to target oil pipelines and economic infrastructure in Saudi Arabia over the Gulf state’s ties with Israel. “Targets are plenty … Start by hitting and destroying oil pipelines, factories and facilities which are the source (of income) of the tyrant government,” the spokesman, Abu Hamza al-Muhajir, said in a recorded speech on the militant group’s official telegram channel. He said the kingdom had supported normalization with Israel by opening its airspace for Israeli flights to neighbouring Gulf states. The threats surfaced as Bahrain has followed the United Arab Emirates in agreeing last month to normalize ties with Israel.

SDF Begins Mass Release of ISIS Members & Sympathizers in Syria

Russia May Deploy Conventional Forces to Syria

The US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) has begun large-scale releases of ISIS detainees and internally displaced persons (IDPs), including ISIS sympathizers and the families of ISIS members. The SDF declared a general amnesty for detained criminals and ISIS fighters on October 15 and ISIS sympathizers in the al Hawl IDP camp on October 14. The SDF clarified that the amnesty does not apply to ISIS members found guilty of killing Syrians, an effort to mitigate public backlash. However, the SDF cannot consistently apply that standard, as it does not have the ability to investigate and prosecute all of its detainees or IDPs. The SDF does not have a process to deradicalize or reintegrate released ISIS sympathizers. The SDF released 631 detainees from Alaya Prison near Qamishli on October 15 and 289 IDPs from al Hawl on October 13. More releases will likely follow in coming days. ISIS will benefit from the injection of new fighters into its insurgency and will likely intimidate and recruit vulnerable civilian returnees. Meanwhile, Russia may deploy conventional ground forces to Syria to gain leverage in negotiations with Turkey and possibly participate in a pro-Assad regime offensive. Russia and Turkey are pressing one another for concessions in negotiations concerning opposition-held Idlib Province. A Russian conventional military deployment remains unlikely, but various indicators have tripped in the past few weeks suggesting that Moscow could be preparing for one. Such a deployment would mark an inflection in Russia’s participation in Syria and an escalation in the conflict between Russia and Turkey.

  Turkey withdraws from base in northwest Syria, sources say

Turkey is withdrawing troops from a military post in northwest Syria that was surrounded by Syrian government forces last year, but is consolidating its presence elsewhere in the region, sources familiar with the operation said on Monday. The observation post at Morek was one of a dozen set up by Turkish soldiers in 2018 under an ill-fated deal to calm fighting between Syrian government troops and Turkey-backed rebels controlling the northwestern Idlib region. Turkey has backed rebels who sought to overthrow Bashar al-Assad. But the Syrian president, supported by Russia and Iran, has driven back the rebel fighters who once threatened to encircle Damascus and are now confined to their small pocket in the northwest of the county.

Iran’s regime celebrates end of UN arms embargo

Iran’s regime is celebrating the end of an arms embargo. Despite US pressure and calls for it to be extended, Iran believes it has defeated Washington and sees the end of the embargo as a good omen. UN Security Council arms restrictions against Tehran have ended, the Iranian Foreign Ministry said, adding: “As of today, all restrictions on the transfer of arms… are all automatically terminated.” Iran has boasted in recent months that it does not need to import arms and is looking to export its drones, missiles and other technology. US reports have indicated that Iran and North Korea have renewed cooperation on ballistic missiles.

New fighting over Karabakh despite ceasefire

Russia Seeks Monitoring Accord to Make Armenia-Azeri Truce Stick

Turkey’s interest in Nagorno-Karabakh conflict motivated by control over Caucasus oil & gas supply, says Armenian president

A new ceasefire agreed between Armenia and Azerbaijan to halt fighting over the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh was again failing to hold on Monday as both sides accused each other of fresh attacks. The truce, backed by international mediators to put a stop to three weeks of fighting that has left hundreds dead, was supposed to have come into force at midnight (2000 GMT Saturday) but both sides immediately accused each other of violating the deal. But it has never been recognised by any other state, including Armenia, while Azerbaijan has always made clear its desire to regain control in one of the most combustible conflicts left after the fall of the USSR. The Azerbaijani defence ministry said Monday that Armenian armed forces had shelled areas in four districts inside the country overnight. Meanwhile, the local authorities in Karabakh said Azerbaijani artillery fire continued overnight, with the Karabakh army taking “proportionate actions” in response.

Free speech rally marred by violence as counterprotesters storm event, beat pro-Trump demonstrators

Anti-Cop Protesters Harass Residents of Portland Neighborhood in Late-Night March

Opposing Boston protest groups go head-to-head, with some burning flags

A rally called to promote free speech and denounce big tech censorship turned ugly Saturday in San Francisco, when hundreds of alleged Antifa counterprotesters showed up and berated and attacked demonstrators.  The conservative group Team Save America organized the event to protest Twitter, which it argues censors free speech. They planned to rally at United Nations Plaza before moving the protest to Twitter’s headquarters a few blocks away. But the event quickly devolved into a shouting match and violence as hundreds of counterprotesters stormed the scene. The San Francisco Police Department did not respond to a request for comment. Meanwhile, Opposing groups of protesters went head-to-head in Boston, where they were largely peaceful despite some tense moments, including when demonstrators burned flags and one man poured “blood” on himself, according to photographs and local reports.

Police in Belarus detained 280 people at protests on Sunday

Belarus: More Human Rights Violations

Police in Belarus detained 280 people at mass nationwide protests on Sunday, including 215 in the capital Minsk, the Interior Ministry said. Tens of thousands of people marched through the streets of Minsk on Sunday to demand the resignation of veteran president Alexander Lukashenko, despite a threat by officials to use firearms against protesters. Crowds of demonstrators waving red-and-white opposition flags descended on a gritty industrial neighbourhood in southeast Minsk for a march along Partisan Prospect, a key transport artery and home to a number of factories. Protesters took to the streets despite threats by police this week to use lethal force from now on “if necessary”. Some protesters chanted “Strike!” and “You and your riot police get out!” Belarusian authorities deployed military trucks and water cannon but police largely refrained from using riot control equipment on Sunday. Belarusian interior ministry spokeswoman Olga Chemodanova told AFP that members of law enforcement fired off rubber bullets as a warning to protesters who threw stones at police.

Kyrgyzstan acting president seeks constitution change to run for full term

Kyrgyzstan’s new acting president Sadyr Japarov, who came to power last week in a popular uprising, said on Monday he plans to run for a full term if the country amends its constitution to allow it. Japarov’s new ambitions could put him at odds with some of the political parties that helped bring him to power, which had backed him only as an interim leader to chart a path out of a political crisis which followed a disputed election. The constitution bars caretaker presidents from running in elections they oversee. Japarov, 51, took over as acting president last week after unrest toppled his predecessor Sooronbai Jeenbekov’s government. “Parliament is currently preparing amendments to laws governing presidential and parliamentary elections,” Japarov told the Russia 24 news channel in an interview. “If I am able to run as a result of those amendments, I will do so.”

Thai Students Defy Protest Ban

Thailand’s government vows to protect the monarchy after weekend of unrest

 Thailand’s government has vowed to protect the monarchy after tens of thousands of pro-democracy protesters rallied in Bangkok and other cities over the weekend, as calls for a new constitution and curbing the King’s powers continue to grow. Demonstrators again defied an emergency decree banning public gatherings of more than five people and hit the streets en masse for a fifth straight day on Sunday, with about 10,000 people surrounding Bangkok’s Victory Monument in the heart of the capital and blocking traffic around one of the city’s main business centers. Speaking to reporters at Government House on Monday, Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha said he supports the idea of parliament holding an emergency session to find a way out of the current political crisis, but said the government must “protect the monarchy.”

Death toll climbs as Nigeria protests spiral

Osun governor escapes ‘assassination attempt’

Crowds took to the streets again in Nigeria’s largest cities on Monday as the death toll rose in snowballing protests sparked by police brutality. Amnesty International said five people had died since the start of the weekend, taking the overall number of fatalities to 15 since demonstrations against abuses erupted this month. In Lagos, home to 20 million people, thousands of people took to the streets again on Monday, bringing the economic hub to a standstill. The huge outpouring of anger over brutality by Nigeria police’s notorious Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) forced the government to scrap the unit a week ago and promise reforms. But the crowds of mainly young protesters have continued to swell, in the streets and online, as long-standing frustrations over bad governance in Africa’s largest economy have burst to the surface.

Chile protests turn violent

Churches Set Ablaze Amid Protests in Chile’s Capital

Demonstrations in Chile against inequality have turned violent as vandals burned two churches, virtually destroying one of them. A police headquarters was also firebombed and shops were looted in the protests, which started peacefully. The protests were marking a year since the start of a mass protest movement that rocked Chile for two months. Demonstrators also urged people to vote in favour of a new constitution in a referendum next weekend. Protesters have taken issue with Chile’s constitution, which dates back to the years of military rule after Gen Augusto Pinochet seized power in 1973. Police said 18 officers were injured on Sunday, while Interior Minister Victor Perez called on people to make themselves heard in the referendum. Masked protesters attacked churches in the capital, Santiago, setting a spire alight at one. Police fired tear gas and water cannons during clashes. Protests first erupted in Chile in October last year and were held almost daily, but largely subsided as coronavirus spread. The protests were originally triggered by a rise in the price of metro tickets in Santiago, but soon became a much wider movement denouncing inequality in Chile, the high costs of healthcare and poor funding of education.

  China Warns U.S. It May Detain Americans in Response to Prosecutions of Chinese Scholars

After federal agents this summer moved to detain and charge multiple visiting Chinese academics for their undisclosed links to the People’s Liberation Army while at US research universities or laboratories (often involving outright deception to federal agencies), Beijing has escalated things with its own unprecedented warning. A WSJ exclusive published Saturday cites several sources to say Chinese government officials are threatening to arrest American nationals working or residing in China in response to the DOJ prosecutions of Chinese military-linked researchers. The report cites a series of warnings communicated via “multiple channels” since the summer, including directly to the US Embassy in Beijing.Though the threats up until now have not been detailed to the public, the warnings via diplomatic backchannels began this summer, according to the report, which characterized the communications as a “blunt message”.

Taiwanese, Chinese Staffers Injured After Clash in Fiji

A distracted US is dangerous for Taiwan

China and Taiwan traded accusations Monday over a violent altercation that broke out between Chinese diplomats and Taiwan government employees at a recent Taiwan National Day reception in Fiji. Both China and Taiwan confirmed the Oct. 8 incident but each disputed the other’s claim of what precipitated the fight, which resulted in one Taiwanese staffer being sent to a hospital with a head injury. One of the Chinese diplomats also was injured. The confrontation, an extreme example of the tensions between the rival governments, erupted when Taiwanese at the gathering tried to stop Chinese diplomats from taking photos of guests at the reception marking Taiwan’s national day, a Taiwan foreign ministry spokeswoman, Joanne Ou, said in a written statement. “The Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly condemns the Chinese embassy in Fiji’s staff‘s actions which severely violates rule of law and norms of civilized behavior,” said Ou. She said Taiwan had made a formal protest to the Fiji government.

  The Great Financial Reset: IMF Managing Director Calls for a ‘New Bretton Woods Moment’

On Thursday, October 15, the IMF published a speech written by the IMF’s Washington, DC managing director, Kristalina Georgieva called “A New Bretton Woods Moment.” The article has caused sound money and free-market advocates to grow concerned that a big change is coming and possibly a great financial reset. Economists, analysts, and bitcoiners have been discussing the IMF managing director’s speech since it was published on the IMF website on Thursday. A few days later on October 18, macro strategist Raoul Pal said Georgieva’s article alludes to a “huge” change coming to the global financial system. “If you don’t think Central Bank Digital Currencies are coming, you are missing the big and important picture,” Raoul Pal tweeted on Sunday morning. “This is going to be the biggest overhaul of the global financial system since Bretton Woods. This IMF article alludes to a huge change coming, but lacks real clarity outside of allowing much more fiscal stimulus via monetary mechanisms. And tomorrow, the IMF holds a conference on digital currencies and cross-border payment systems…”

 China bans copying of hymns, punishes Christians who print religious materials

China has been tightening restrictions on the distribution of religious materials in recent months by threatening fines, the closure of printing shops, or even imprisonment for selling Christian books or allowing customers to photocopy hymns. Bitter Winter, a publication that monitors religious liberty violations in China, reports that this month, Chinese Communist Party officials in Luoyang, a prefecture-level city in the central province of Henan, searched a local printing house for banned religious materials. “Any religious content makes the issue political, not religious. Although banners on the streets say people are allowed religious beliefs, the only faith they can practice freely is that in the Communist Party,” a store manager told Bitter Winter. China is ranked as one of the worst countries in the world when it comes to the persecution of Christians, according to Open Doors USA’s World Watch List. The communist regime’s crackdown on religious freedom has also led the U.S. State Department to label it as a “country of particular concern” for “continuing to engage in particularly severe violations of religious freedom.” In a recent interview with The Christian Post, U.S. Secretary of State Pompeo said it is “certainly the case that the Chinese Communist Party [engages in] efforts to stamp out religious freedom every place that they find.”
