Mozambique Terrorist Group Poised to Establish an Islamic Emirate by Lawrence A. Franklin

Radical Muslims from Kenya and Tanzania are transforming what was initially a low-intensity ethnic rebellion, into a full-fledged Islamic jihad against Mozambique’s central government.

Ansar al-Sunna, estimated to consist of about 20 cells operating throughout northeast Mozambique, is responsible for the murders of about 2,000 people, mostly civilians.

The terrorist group has driven approximately 200,000 people from their homes and burdened the majority Christian country’s central government.

The Islamic State’s Central African Province may have bigger plans for Mozambique’s Ansar al-Sunna. If the terrorists are able to establish an Emirate under Sharia in Cabo Delgado Province, it could serve as a jihadi model, threatening the stability of other states in southern Africa. Malawi, Zimbabwe, South Africa, as well as Africa’s Indian Ocean states of the Comoros and Madagascar, could be targeted.

Jihadists in northern Mozambique have intensified their military operations this year in an apparent attempt to establish an Islamic Emirate in the province of Cabo Delgado. The Islamist insurgency, which began in October 2017, remained below the radar until recently. The escalating violence, however, has become a security concern for Mozambique’s regional neighbors, including South Africa, Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya and Somalia. Radical Muslims from Kenya and Tanzania are transforming what was initially a low-intensity ethnic rebellion, into a full-fledged Islamic jihad against Mozambique’s central government.

Ansar al-Sunna (Supporters of Sunni Tradition), aka Ahlu wa Jamo, is affiliated with the Islamic State’s Central African Province and is inspired, in part, by Somalia’s leading terrorist organization, Al-Shabaab. Ansar al-Sunna, estimated to consist of about 20 cells operating throughout northeast Mozambique, is responsible for the murders of about 2,000 people, mostly civilians. These martyred innocents are largely from the same ethnic Kimwani tribe as their murderers, who reside in villages in Cabo Delgado Province. The terrorist group has driven approximately 200,000 people from their homes and burdened the majority Christian country’s central government.

Iran’s Mullahs Want the “Nuclear Deal”, So Does Biden by Majid Rafizadeh

https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/16812/iran-mullahs-want-nuclear-deal

Iran’s mullahs love the nuclear deal because of its fundamental flaws, especially the sunset clauses that remove restrictions on Iran’s nuclear program after the deal expires soon. The nuclear deal, rather than preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons, as it was falsely touted to do, in fact paves the way for Tehran to become a legitimized nuclear state.

With the nuclear deal, the regime would gain global legitimacy, making it even more difficult to hold Iran’s leaders accountable for any malign behavior or terror activity across the world.

Finally, Iran’s ruling clerics want immediately to rejoin the nuclear deal because it would again alienate other governments in the Middle East and inevitably lead to a worsening of relations between the US and its traditional allies, especially Israel, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states.

This flawed deal, in favor of Iran, failed to recognize the rightful concerns of other countries in the region about Iran’s potential nuclear capability, missile proliferation or funding of violent proxies — both within and next door to their territories.

Iran’s ruling mullahs, who are celebrating presumptive President-Elect Joe Biden’s possible presidency in 2021, are already calling on him to rejoin the 2015 nuclear deal, which, incidentally, Iran never signed.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani — already urging the next US administration, which he hopes is the Biden administration — also pointed out, according to the state-run IRNA agency:

“Now, an opportunity has come up for the next U.S. administration to compensate for past mistakes and return to the path of complying with international agreements through respect of international norms.”

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammed Javad Zarif also advised Biden on Twitter to abandon President Trump’s Iran policy of maximum pressure and rejoin the nuclear deal.

The Trump administration, after pulling out of the nuclear deal, imposed significant pressure politically and economically on the Iranian regime and re-imposed sanctions on the mullahs.

What if all the judges are cowards? By Patricia McCarthy

https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2020/12/what_if_all_the_judges_are_cowards.html

Despite the glaring evidence of astronomical vote fraud, the local election officials who participated in the fraud or witnessed it have naturally been stubborn in their refusal to admit the cheating.  

The state judges before whom some of the lawsuits have come have likewise refused to admit there is cause for taking these incidents on.  

Now that the crisis has reached a fever pitch, hundreds of whistleblowers have come forward and sworn affidavits as to what they saw.  There have been public hearings in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Arizona so far.  They have gone on for hours as person after person has testified to the ballot malfeasance they observed. The mainstream media has of course ignored all of this.  Whatever they deign to report is characterized by numerous negative modifiers meant to deceive the public –- ‘baseless,’ ‘unwarranted,’ ‘desperate,’ ‘unproven,’ ‘unsubstantiated,’ etc. — as if the president has mounted this crusade against vote fraud for fun.  Bottom line?  There is, as Sidney Powell has said, a tsunami of evidence of long-planned, unconstitutional, illegal election rigging for Democrat gains.  And they did it in so many deceitful ways. 

At this moment in time, there is no doubt that the president won the election in greater numbers than the cheaters had imagined possible.  As he was gaining on election night beyond their expectations, they called a halt to vote counting for hours in order to catch up with hundreds of thousands of phony ballots from anywhere they could find or manufacture them.  

The chicanery was thankfully detected by the many witnesses who have now come forward but are being thoroughly disregarded by the propagandists at CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC and NBC. These outlets are not one bit dedicated to disseminating actual information to the public; their job is to propagandize, to control the prescribed narrative, and to hide the news.  Any threat to that narrative will be shut down, derisively mocked as though it were as fantastical as a comic book.  That is how the American media operates.  Sadly, even Fox News has joined their “we-will-tell-you-what-is-true” liars club.  So much for Fox News; it’s over for the millions of viewers who have supported the cable news outlet for decades.  It turns out all those “conservative” anchors and hosts were either faking it then or are doing the Murdoch sons’ bidding now.  Either way, not one of them is trustworthy, not even Tucker Carlson or Laura Ingraham.  Only their yappy but truly loyal Sean Hannity is true to his word. 

Trump gave ‘the most important speech’ of his life By Andrea Widburg

https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2020/12/trump_gave_the_most_important_speech_of_his_life.html

“Using myriad facts, Trump described the election fraud that undercut the American political system and asked Biden to join his demand for an investigation.”

President Trump appeared before the American people on Wednesday to give what he described as “the most important speech I’ve ever made.” Cleverly,  he’d already ensured a large audience by teasing in the past few days that he might be giving up. Leftists tuned in to see him resign; his supporters tuned in praying that he wouldn’t. His supporters left happy for Trump, twice using charts, detailed just some of the massive election fraud and promised to keep fighting:

The president explained that our once-sacred “election day” has turned into an election season, with opportunities for “lots of bad things.” While he was warned away from declaring a “premature victory,” Biden was treated as the victor before the election happened. “In fact, they were acting like they already knew what the outcome was going to be. They had it covered and perhaps they did, very sadly for our country.”

Trump assured his supporters, though, that he will keep fighting, using the “constitutional process.” He explained that the fight was necessary because the election was corrupt.

Democrats engaged in a “relentless push to print and mail out tens of millions of ballots sent to unknown recipients with virtually no safeguards of any kind,” which was a petri dish for fraud.

China’s regulators are fixing the roof while the sun is shining. With the economy in full rebound from the second-quarter Covid recession, Beijing has warned fintech and property companies to raise more equity and pay down debt.

That’s good news for China’s financial system but mixed news for some of this year’s best-performing stocks, including food-delivery service Methuan and smartphone maker Xiaomi. Financial stocks, by contrast, turned in their best relative performance of 2020 during the past month.

Dominion contractor drops bombshell at Michigan hearing ‘They were rescanning, counting ballots 8 to 10 times’

https://www.wnd.com/2020/12/dominion-contractor-drops-bombshell-michigan-hea

UPDATE Dec. 2, 2020: This story has been updated to include comments from Chief Judge Timothy Kenny of the Third Judicial Circuit Court in Michigan who dismissed Melissa Carone’s claims in a Nov. 13 ruling, stating her “allegations simply are not credible.”

An IT worker trained and contracted by Dominion Voting Systems who worked at the tabulating center in Detroit on Nov. 3 claimed Tuesday she saw election workers illegally rescanning batches of 50 ballots for Joe Biden over and over to create more votes.

Melissa Carone, who spoke to the Michigan Senate Oversight Committee at a hearing in Lansing, Michigan, said she was at the TCF Center for a total of 27 hours, beginning the morning of Election Day.

“What I witnessed at the TCF Center was simply fraud the whole 27 hours I was there,” she said. “There were batches of ballots being run through the tabulating machines numerous times, being counted eight to 10 times.

“I watched this with my own eyes,” Carone said.

She said that the election official in charge of counting the mail-in ballots, Daniel Baxter, and at least 90% of the workers were “in on the whole thing.”

“There was not a single ballot the whole night, the whole 27 hours I was there, that I saw, that was for Donald Trump,” she said. “Not one. Not a single ballot.”

She also testified she was aware that ballots were being tabulated at the Department of Elections, where she originally had been scheduled to work.

Arizona Hearing Found Ample Election Fraud: Mathematically Improbable That Biden Won state. Fred Lucas

https://www.dailysignal.com/2020/11/30/4-takeaways-from-arizonas-election-fraud-he

On the same day that Arizona certified former Vice President Joe Biden as the winner of the state’s 11 electoral votes, state lawmakers held a fact-finding meeting Monday on allegations of voter fraud that might have tilted the closely contested state.

Biden appears to have won the traditionally Republican-leaning state by just over 10,000 votes. However, witnesses told state lawmakers that mail-in voting fraud and problems with the Dominion Voting Systems machines could have skewed the results.

Dominion has vigorously defended its machines, stating on its website:

According to a Joint Statement by the federal government agency that oversees U.S. election security, the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency: “There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised.”  The government & private sector councils that support this mission called the 2020 election “the most secure in American history.”

The event was not a formal legislative hearing, since the Legislature is out of session, but Republican members of both the state Senate and the state House of Representatives participated in the panel, asking questions of witnesses.

The event, which began in late morning and ran well into the evening, wasn’t held at the state Capitol, but rather off-site at a Hyatt Regency hotel in Phoenix, with a “Stop the Steal” rally of supporters of President Donald Trump going on outside.

President Trump Gives an Election Update from the White House Katie Pavlich

https://townhall.com/tipsheet/katiepavlich/2020/12/02/president-trump-gives-an-update-from-the-white-house-on-the-election-n2580964

Speaking from the White House Wednesday, President Donald Trump gave an update on what he sees as the status of the presidential race.

“This may be the most important speech I’ve ever made. I want to provide an update on our efforts to expose the tremendous voter fraud and irregularities which took place during the ridiculously long November 3 elections. We used to have what was called Election Day. Now we have election days, weeks, and months and lots of bad things happened during this ridiculous period of time, especially since you have to prove almost nothing to exercise our greatest privilege, the right to vote. As president, I have no higher duty than to defend the laws and the Constitution of the United States. That is why I am determined to protect our election system, which is under coordinated assault and siege,” Trump said.

“The constitutional process must be allowed to continue. We are going to defend the honesty of the vote by ensuring every legal ballot is counted and that no illegal ballot is counted. This is not just about honoring the votes of 74 million Americans who voted for me; it’s about ensuring that Americans can have faith in this election and all future elections,” he continued.

Up to 280,000 Ballots ‘Disappeared’ Overnight Along with Trailer, USPS Whistle blower Alleges Leah Barkoukis

https://townhall.com/tipsheet/leahbarkoukis/2020/12/02/usps-whistleblowers-n2580920

Though the mainstream media has declared the 2020 election over, disturbing allegations of fraud and Election Day irregularities continue to come to light.

Phill Kline, director of Thomas More Society’s Amistad Project and former Kansas attorney general, said he received evidence that somewhere between “130,000 to 280,000 completed ballots for the 2020 general election had been shipped from Bethpage, New York, before the ballots and the trailer in which they were shipped disappeared” on Oct. 21. 

The former district attorney was referring to statements by Jesse Morgan, a USPS subcontractor and truck driver.

The truck driver explained he was transporting the ballots to Harrisburg. “Usually I offload in one of the seven docks every day but not on Oct. 21. I wasn’t allowed to offload. That’s different. … Instead, I was made to wait for roughly six hours in the yard. … All of this was weird. …”

When he finally went in to figure out what was going on, he was told to wait to speak to the transportation supervisor, which he described as very unusual because he never deals with that level of management. He recalled telling the supervisor he wanted a ticket, which he said is standard protocol to show a driver arrived at a USPS facility to prove they were there, and that he wanted a late slip as well so he would get paid for sitting there for six hours. The supervisor refused both of his requests. “He was kind of rude and wouldn’t explain anything to me, he just told me to go to Lancaster.”

Delusional Never Trump Losers Think We’re Going to Take Them Back Kurt Schlichter

I’m not sure what is the most distinguishing characteristic of the Never Trump sissies. Sure, they are contemptible worms who care about nothing but extending their pathetic grifts – and it’s not like the Grima Wormtongues of conservatism have any saleable skills other than treachery. This is, of course, why these grody creatures are naturally drawn to D.C., where their loathsome skills are appreciated.

But scumbags are a dime a dozen – what truly distinguishes these geebos is their bizarre confidence that someday us conservatives are going have an epiphany that we need them back and come begging them to return to their former glory as the Republican establishment’s managers of America’s decline.

Check out John Bolton, who never met a war he wasn’t happy to have your kids fight, on Twitter presuming to tell us how things are going to be: “Longer term, there must be a broad ‘conversation’ about the direction of the conservative movement and the Republican party. More from me in [link to lame weasel-blog deleted]”

Yo John, we’ve already had a conversation. You just weren’t invited to it. Here’s how the conversation went: 

“You know who sucks? People like John Bolton.”
