  1. How Assad Helped Create ISIS to Win in Syria and Got Away With the Crime of the Century

    ““In 2011, the majority of the current ISIS leadership was released from jail” by Assad, Mohammed Al-Saud, a Syrian dissident with the National Coalition for Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces, told Newsweek in 2014. “No one in the regime has ever admitted this, or explained why.”

    The leaders of two major Islamist groups, Hassan Aboud of Ahrar al-Sham and Zahran Alloush of Jaysh al-Islam, were also both in Assad’s prisons in early 2011. Additionally, as the Islamic State began to take root in Syria and spread into Iraq, Assad let the group grow. Phillips wrote in The Atlantic in August that this “was partly pragmatic, as ISIS was in the peripheral east while other rebels threatened the western heartlands, but it was also strategic.”

    “The regime did not just open the door to the prisons and let these extremists out, it facilitated them in their work, in their creation of armed brigades,” a former member of Syria’s Military Intelligence Directorate, one of more than a dozen of Syria’s secretive intelligence agencies, told Abu Dhabi-based The National in 2014.”

  2. Someone should check the donors to Mrs. Ford’s go fund me collection. I’m sure most are from Idiots, but what a wonderful way it could be to launder payment.

    1. I wonder what Ford doners think they were donating in support of? At this point, she may need lawyers to fight a law suit from Kavanaugh.

    1. How the hell does one man hold these two positions simultaneously? President of Interpol, and China’s Vice Minister of security? The most pressing international criminal problem is Chicom espionage.
      I haven’t heard the name Interpol for a long time. It must not be the same thing it was, or supposedly was, decades ago.

  3. So much winning.

    Populist Jair Bolsonaro on track to win Brazil presidential election in first round. Brazilian globalists and leftists in state of utter panic.

    1. And so they should be. Globalism and its apparatchiks are doomed to ash heap of history, where they ultimately belong.

    2. Bolsanaro currently 47% with 85% of polls reporting, Workers Party candidate much less. Awaiting latest number

  4. Bolsonaro 47%
    PT (Lula’s stand-in) 28%

    So there will be a run-off. The Nord-este was for the PT, everywhere else for Bolsonaro

    1. Bolsonaro fully expected that the left would force a runoff through vote tampering.

      Look at it from the left’s perspective—it’s not as if they had many other options. Fleeing to Venezuela or the Amazon to continue the struggle there, or committing revolutionary suicide, would have required actual courage.
