Alt-Right, “BATTLE OF RAQQAH BEGINS: ISIS FAST AS THEIR ENEMIES CLOSE IN”, 30 May 2017:

Jihad without nibbles.

After several weeks of cautious advancing, the US-backed, largely Kurdish-manned Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) [editorial note: Kurdish-manned, Syrian Force - ideally, those are ingredients we want on our side] have now begun their assault on the ISIS capital of Raqqah.

In a clear insult to Muslims around the world, the assault has been timed to coincide with period of Ramadan [Since we’re not being gingerly about their traditions, how about making their religion and its practices illegal in our nations?], a month of fasting in the Islamic lunar calendar. During Ramadan strict Muslims, like the members of ISIS, will abstain from nutrition during hours of daylight. As SDF forces are largely secular of Marxist in their ideology [Apparently at the behest of right wing superiors, the author of the article appears to be dog whistling the Marxist, “Left” thing in order to encourage the Alt-Right audience into thinking that the left nationalists who form a natural opposition to Isil, Islam and other right wing ideologies, are the bad guys], this will ensure that ISIS forces will be physically weakened in the street battles ahead.

Already SDF forces have reached the edge of the city. While ISIS forces are clearly intending to fight to the death, it is believed that the Islamist group has already its their capital to Deir ez-Zur, a town 90 miles down the Euphrates river.

Meanwhile, taking advantage of the hot weather and the weakened conditions of the opponents, SDF forces have started making rapid advances to the south of the city in a clear effort to cut it off.

Meanwhile ISIS forces in Raqqah have two main priorities. One is to prevent civilians from leaving the city, so as to keep as many “human shields” as possible and limit the amount of US-led coalition bombing.  In order to prevent people fleeing the battle, roadblocks have been set up.

The other priority is to ensure that people are observing Ramadan fasting rules. Already there have been reports of ISIS arresting an old man for not fasting and whipping other civilians for the same offence. It’s going to be a long, tough Ramadan [One hopes that this is pure sarcasm, but has to wonder whether there is a tinge of sympathy here for a religion that means us no good].

Zbigniew Brzezinski, whose “great chess game” thinking was behind some of the better geo-strategy that Obama and other Presidents are given credit for, has died. Unfortunately, it is a wisdom and judgment not in evidence in Trump - at all - whatever check and balance to Israeli influence that Obama had put in place through Brzezinski’s coaching has been purged.

Obama was frequently given credit for resisting Israeli wishes - notably to go against the Iran Deal. But it would have been under the literal advice of Zbigniew Brzezinski to get behind the Iran Deal. The deal was perfect for the power of business interests to exercise its liberalizing effect not only for Iran, but against an eminently dangerous US comlicitness with Israeli-Russian Federation hegemony; along with complicitness to Islamic compradors and abetment of terror.

Say what you want about a cold war mindset, it taught western strategists to look at the Russian Federation and to not be naive about it.

The Russian Federation is not an ethno-state, and like the US, where it is not entirely mixed-up with Jewish interests, it is subject to right wing reactionary and imperialist politics.

The Alt-Right belatedly, grudgingly, acknowledges Jewish power and influence interwoven with not only Trump, but the Kremlin and Putin - it has even been forced to see the quid pro quo that Kumiko diagnosed - “support Israel and your Alt-Right can have backing - its a deal” - however, like David Duke, it will do anything but lay blame on its part for making these deals - what it will not see is the right wing shabbos goyim aspect of right wingers doing what right wingers do - blinding (themselves or others, depending) to their people’s broad interests and selling them out for their narrow interests - including selling out in deals with Jews. Clearly the right does not have Israeli interests under control. It does not have and will not allow the concept that would do it. That would mean having to acknowledge what fuck-ups they are, how inane their concept, how typical that they would put Trump in power, blinding to the obvious, deal making, shaking hands with their fellow enemies of ethnonationalism.

They’re ok with blaming Jews - and if Kumiko is able to force them to admit to a deal having been offered to them, they might even acknowledge it, almost acknowledge that they took the deal - so long as their masters allow them to lay blame on the “bad” Jews (not the “good ones” du jour); but they will not lay blame on the inherent defect of their right wing platform (heck, their Jewish masters wouldn’t allow it), let alone specify the fact that for its inherent instability its adherents are bound to do it again; let alone will they call attention to the fact that they are using and being used for the supremacist, imperialist interests of Israel, its diaspora, its cohorts, the US, the Russian Federation ...add Turkey, Saudi and others to that equation.

If Jews say Asians and Asian ethnonationalism are the enemy, and a Judeo-Christian West is the answer to ‘radical’ Islam, black and mestizo population imposition, it’s a deal for them. Our Asian friends are on notice, we true ethno-nationalists, including White Left nationalism, stand apart from the perfidy and the complicitness of the Alt-Right.

DM, “ISIS has claimed responsibility for recent deadly attacks on churches in Egypt”, 26 May 2016:

WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT

Egyptian planes bomb Libyan jihadi training camps after at least 28 people, including children, were killed when masked gunmen opened fire on a bus carrying Coptic Christians.

- Ten masked gunmen opened fire on buses carrying Coptic Christians in Egypt

- At least 28 killed and more injured when attackers sprayed bullets at the convoy

- Worshipers were heading to St Samuel Monastery to pray when gunmen struck

- Egyptian bombers have hit ‘terror training camps’ in Libya in retaliation

- President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi vowed Egypt will fight back against attacks

- He also called for Donald Trump to take the lead in the fight against terror

Egyptian forces have struck bases in which militants who waged a deadly attack against Christians have been trained.

President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi said fighter jets struck militant bases in eastern Libya in retaliation for an attack by suspected Islamic State militants that killed 28 Christians and wounded another 22 south of Cairo.

[...]

Up to 10 masked attackers dressed in military uniforms stopped a convoy in Egypt province, 140 miles south of Cairo, as the group was heading towards Saint Samuel the Confessor Monastery in Maghagha to pray.

The gunmen, who arrived in three four-wheel drive vehicles, used automatic weapons to spray bullets at the convoy before fleeing. A health ministry official said a ‘large number’ of victims were children.

[...]

Lebanon’s militant Hezbollah group also condemned the attack, saying ‘it is a new crime added to the criminal record of a murderers’ gang’.

Egypt has been fighting ISIS militants who have waged an insurgency, mainly focused in the volatile north of the Sinai Peninsula but there have been also attacks on the mainland.

The country has seen a wave of attacks on its Christians, including twin suicide bombings in April and another attack in December on a Cairo church that left over 75 people dead and scores wounded. ISIS in Egypt claimed responsibility for them and vowed more attacks.

[...]

Egypt’s Copts, the Middle East’s largest Christian community, have repeatedly complained of suffering discrimination, as well as outright attacks, at hands of the country’s majority Muslim population.

Over the past decades, they have been the immediate targets of Islamic extremists.

They rallied behind general-turned-president, Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, in 2013 when he ousted his Islamist predecessor Mohammed Morsi, who hails from the Muslim Brotherhood group.

Attacks on Christian homes, businesses and churches subsequently surged, especially in the country’s south.

A ‘knifeman’ was arrested outside Buckingham Palace - just 30 seconds before the Queen passed by in a car yards away.

The man was escorted away by officers after being found in possession of a knife in The Mall at around 10.40am, police say.

Dramatic footage showed him lying on the ground, dressed in a blue hoodie and a khaki coat, as cops searched his body.

Mirror photographer Ian Vogler snapped picture of suspect being held on the ground by police at the bottom of The Mall.

The arrest came less than 48 hours after a suicide bomber detonated an IED at Manchester Arena, killing 22, injuring 119.

Diversity Macht Frei, 23 May 2017, Request complied-with by police to investigate Katie Hopkins for inciting racial hatred over tweet:

Hugh Muir thinks she is a peddler of hate and should be subject to laws against it -

Police in Manchester, England, confirm 22 people dead at Manchester Arena following an apparent explosion after a concert by Ariana Grande. About 50 people have been injured.

The statement says police will treat the incident as a terrorist attack until they know otherwise.

Authorities also say they conducted a “precautionary controlled explosion,” and the thing they had been concerned about turned out to be abandoned clothing and not a suspicious item.

The management of the Manchester Arena issued a statement, saying the incident happened outside the facility.

The BBC reports witnesses heard an explosion, which was followed by a chaotic scene with audience members running for the exits.

Reuters reports that emergency services are responding to the reports of “a serious incident.” Greater Manchester Police are advising people to “avoid the area.”

A spokesman for the pop singer said that she was “okay,” according to Reuters.

One witness, Josh Elliott, told the BBC Radio 5 Live that “A bang went off and everyone stopped and screamed. ... We basically hit the deck,” he said. “It was bedlam ... it was horrific. We got up when we thought it was safe and got out as quickly as possible. People were just crying and in tears. ... Police cars were everywhere.”

This is a developing story. Some things that get reported by the media will later turn out to be wrong. We will focus on reports from police officials and other authorities, credible news outlets and reporters who are at the scene. We will update as the situation develops - NPR, 22 May 2017.

AltRight, ” White Man Goes On Killer Rampage In Times Square”, 19 May 2017:

Yes, you heard me right, a “White” man did the killings.

The attack in Times Square, NY happened suddenly and randomly.

No one seems sure what narrative to go with. The driver wasn’t a Muslim (liberals are breathing sighs of relief), but he was brown (liberals are squirming uncomfortably). The story is still developing, but the main details are already coming out.

…is White. Seriously.

Richard Rojas, a 26-year-old from the Bronx, was charged with murder after killing 18-year-old Alyssa Elsman and injuring 22 others when he sped down one of the busiest sidewalks in the US in his car for three blocks on Thursday.

He was arraigned in a Manhattan court on Friday where he was held without bail and did not enter a plea.

According to the criminal complaint, Rojas told police after his arrest: ‘I smoked marijuana. I laced the marijuana with PCP.’

Rojas mowed down a bunch of pedestrians near Times Square, ISIS-style. He chose a very target-rich and very symbolic place to suddenly snap.

Whether or not he was insane, or had some other motivation, all we know for certain now is that the suspect, Richard Rojas, is considered White by law enforcement. He’s been arrested before. Pay attention to what ethnicity they list.

Law enforcement has an incentive to liberally apply the “white” label for several reasons. The first is that they don’t want to be accused of racism, so they have to somehow explain away every year why so many non-whites get arrested for committing crimes. By increasing the amount of “whites” that get arrested, they can fight accusations of racism.

The second reason might be more sinister. They simply need to maintain a narrative that such a thing as White crime exists in any significant capacity in the United States, especially compared to the crime rates of non-Whites.

Who knows.

But I don’t want to gloss over the most disturbing part of this whole story- the loose definition of who is considered White or not in the United States. Can we reasonably rely on demographic statistics that allow for such a loose definition of white? How many Whites are left in the United States? Are we at 62%? 54%? I’ve heard all sorts of numbers thrown around.

Vibrant Diversity leading to deaths is now old news. It happens so frequently now that I honestly think the only reason this story was covered was because it happened near Times Square. The real scandal is the strange “white-washing” that is going on in this country.

QZ, “Just two domain names now stand between the world and global ransomware chaos”, 15 May 2017:

A second wave of global infections caused by hackers in a global ransomware attack has been halted. The hackers responsible for the cyber attack, unprecedented in its global scale, demanded ransom be sent to three bitcoin addresses. So far they have amassed the equivalent of over $42,000 in ransom. But a new “kill switch” by Matthieu Suiche, the founder of cybersecurity startup Comae Technologies, has prevented about 10,000 infected machines from propagating the ransomware since it was flipped roughly 24 hours ago.

The WannaCry ransomware was originally halted by the UK cybersecurity researcher who goes by the name MalwareTech. He “accidentally” stopped the rapidly spreading infection by registering domain (9iuqerfsodp9ifjaposdfjhgosurijfaewrwergwea.com) that he found in WannaCry’s code, without knowing what its effect would be. The domain turned out to be a kill switch left in the code to stop the ransomware’s propagation.

The act of registering the domain name halted the malware’s spread.

       
       

After the initial WannaCry kill switch was found, researchers predicted that variants would soon appear that were harder to stop. Suiches analyzed two new variants that appeared yesterday, and found that one of them contained a similar kill switch mechanism, but using a different domain (ifferfsodp9ifjaposdfjhgosurijfaewrwergwea.com). He registered the new domain about 20 hours ago, and infection rates have plummeted.

The number of active, infected, machines overall is down to the hundreds now, from about 200,000 machines just two days ago, according to data collected by MalwareTech. In the chart below, “online” indicates whether a machine is still connected to the internet and capable of spreading the malware:

       
WannaCry infections on May 15, 2017 at 8:50am

The worst is not quite over. Yet more variants will appear, and large organizations must scramble to install a fix released by Microsoft to prevent further infections and propagation. Until those variants crop up, as Suiche observed, just two domain names stand between the world and total anarchy on the internet.
