Al Qaeda Is on the Brink of Taking Over a Country

Posted on by Lone Candle

“Al Qaeda militants are moving closer to seizing the capital of the West African nation of Mali, which, should the city fall, would become the first country in the world run by the U.S.-designated terrorist group.

The rapid advance of the jihadists in Africa comes after Islamist groups took power in both Afghanistan and Syria, but, if they take Bamako, it would be the first time militants with direct and current connections to al Qaeda achieve such a feat.”

Posted on by Lone Candle

In Syria, both Druze and Bedouins committed atrocities against civilians.

The Druze are not united. Some groups want increased autonomy from the Syrian government and are mostly anti that central government. Others want to work with the central government.

Syrians are slaughtering the Druze people in Syria.

Ordinary citizens are joining organized radicals in killing the Druze for not being Muslim, some asking who the real prophet is, and if they answer wrong, killing them.

A hospital was surrounded and slaughtered. Electricity and internet have been cut to give Muslims the space to slaughter the Druze.

Regime forces are participating in this violence.

Minorities are not safe in the Middle East.

I assume there will be campus protests against these atrocities…

The Next Conservative Civil War Is Coming

Posted on by Lone Candle

“the more tangible potential rupture with at least parts of the conservative legal movement is coming over Trump’s decision to nominate Emil Bove — formerly Trump’s criminal defense lawyer, currently Trump’s enforcer at the Justice Department — to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.

Prominent members of the conservative legal movement have been publicly speaking out against Bove’s nomination, arguing that he would be more loyal to Trump than the rule of law. That in turn has sparked a backlash against Bove’s critics from Trump allies eager to install a new set of judges who may be less tied to the old guard on the right.”
