**SNIP** Frank Montoya, Jr., a recently retired FBI special agent, told Insider that the Capitiol siege indicates far-right extremism is a "fundamental" threat to national security, even more so than foreign terror groups. Indeed, many of these extremists are white, male US citizens, some with backgrounds in the military, and are less likely to be profiled as a terror threat than those of Middle Eastern descent in the post-9/11 era. "The threat we're facing right now is not only real but deeply embedded - and cult-like - in our society," Montoya said. "Look at how many military and law enforcement...

White House siege organizers on Thursday released new tactical briefings with an image of the White House in flames. Marxist operatives, with the support of the Democrat party are burning and pillaging cities across the country. Stores are looted and government buildings are attacked on a weekly basis by far left terrorists. A couple weeks ago, Marxist operatives announced a “50 day siege” on the White House. Twitter is allowing this group to organize and openly call for the overthrow of the government on its platform. They plan on starting the siege on September 17th, to continue for 50 days,...

Leftist operatives with the support of Democrats are burning and pillaging cities across the country. Stores are looted and government buildings are attacked on a weekly basis by far left terrorists. This past week Leftist operatives announced a 50 siege on the White House. They plan on starting the siege on September 17th and plan for it to continue for 50 days until the election on November 3. Leftists hope this will get them more votes for Biden. It’s time again for dramatic, decisive action. Which is why, on September 17th, in the original and enduring spirit of Occupy, we...

Trump pulled out of press conference..

A Texas teenager who alerted federal authorities about his father's alleged role in the Jan. 6 siege on the U.S. Capitol says he wants others to know that "it's OK to come forward." "I want people to know how awful this political strain can be on certain people," Jackson Reffitt, 18, told ABC News' T.J. Holmes in an interview airing Tuesday on "Good Morning America." "And I feel like I should have to have the voice to tell people that it's OK to come forward," he added. "Your moral compass is going to be absolutely just the right thing."

All right, all you activists: ‍ It’s been nine years since we set off the political earthquake of #OccupyWallStreet, laying siege to NYC’s Zuccotti Park and inspiring thousands of similar protests around the world. The Occupy anniversary arrives September 17th, 2020. And it may be the perfect day to trigger another global big-bang moment — a massive collective action of the sweetest kind of disobedience. The why hardly needs recitation. Because, for these nine years, the shadows have only grown longer. Inequality has soared. Not a single Wall Street CEO spent a night in jail for his role in the...

One would think, that going by the constant rhetoric of the Arab states over the past 7 decades since the rebirth of the nation of Israel, that Arabs would be leading the way in the final siege and invasion of Israel. Ezekiel did not see the Arabs in this vision. One could say that Libya perhaps could be considered an Arab State, but we must remember that North Africa is Berber. Libya has been Islamized and Arabized, but the Berbers had their own unique people and culture centuries before Arabs invaded them under Mohammed. Where are the Arabs? Where are...

The Romans generally tolerated other religions, allowing and even welcoming Egyptian gods into their pantheon. Though they viewed the monotheistic Jews as being odd, they left more or less free to practice their own religion. The great Jewish revolt was not a religious war, but a war against Roman imperialism and unfair taxation. In the 60’s CE a financial crisis forced Rome to raise the taxes throughout the empire. The Jews in Jerusalem resisted the extra taxes heavily and fighting broke out after Roman forces looted a temple and killed as many as 6,000 citizens. This massacre prompted a region-wide...

The burden of the word of the Lord for Israel, saith the Lord, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him. Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.(Zechariah 12:1-3)We come...

An Iraqi MP and United Nations relief workers today dismissed claims by the U.S. and the UK that the humanitarian crisis on Mount Sinjar was all but over. Yazidi MP Vian Dakhil claims some 70-80,000 refugees are still stranded on the mountain despite assertions from American and British leaders that they number only in their low thousands. President Barack Obama yesterday said the ten-day siege by the Islamic State had been 'broken' by missile strikes and humanitarian aid drops, allowing tens of thousands of Yazidis to escape. Downing Street also said the situation had improved so much that further aid...

The Obama administration has ruled out for now a risky US military mission to rescue thousands of Iraqis stranded on a northern Iraqi mountain, declaring a siege by Islamist extremists to be over. After a small complement of special forces and US aid workers landed on Mount Sinjar to assess the situation of the Iraqi Yazidis – who for days have received air drops of food, water and medicine – the Pentagon said things were not as bad as initially feared. “An evacuation mission is far less likely,” said Rear Admiral John Kirby, the Pentagon press secretary, late on Wednesday....

The White House has refused repeated attempts by journalists to produce pictures of President Obama and his team in the White House Situation Room during the 9-11 Benghazi terrorist attacks [3:30pm to 11:00pm Eastern Time]. Personally, after researching the offical reports minute by minute, and comparing them to the media released statements, I believe the Situation Room was empty. Today the White House released this picture taken on 9-11-12. It was included in a White House FLICKR Album “The Year In Pictures“. You Decide:

Al-Jazeera, the Qatar-based satellite channel, reported that soldiers backed by air support moved into the al-Arabi district after receiving intelligence that Saddam was in the neighbourhood. Witnesses said that soldiers in 15 armoured vehicles checked a batch of farms in the Hawwi outskirts of Mosul, 240 miles north of Baghdad, as helicopters flew overhead. "There is a heavy presence...

If it becomes a siege, British troops have developed a model KUWAIT CITY - Saddam Hussein's regime appears poised to fall as a U.S. invasion force stands on Baghdad's doorstep and his elite Republican Guard divisions have been sent reeling in defeat or have fallen back on the capital for a bloody last stand. Late last night, as U.S. troops attacked Baghdad's international airport, the city was plunged into darkness from unexplained power cuts and the situation on the battlefield was said to be so fluid no one could predict what would happen next. Some U.S. troops are said to...

How special forces ended siege Special Forces moved in before dawn The swift and bloody end to the Moscow theatre siege came when Russian authorities realised time was running out for the hostages, and there was no option but to act quickly.

The Chechen rebels, it emerged, had executed two hostages and shot and wounded two others. Some hostages panicked and rose against their captors in a desperate attempt to escape. The...

Siege mentality intensifies as suburban killer stays silent By Andrew Buncombe in Washington 20 October 2002 Amid increasing desperation to uncover a real lead in the hunt for the Washington serial sniper, detectives were yesterday examining a shell casing found in a white van similar to the kind of vehicle sought by police. The casing was found in a box truck on Friday by staff at a car rental agency near Dulles International Airport, close to where many of the 12 shootings have taken place. At the same time, officers have charged a man who gave a detailed description of...
