A radical Muslim is the wanted suspect in the deadly vehicle ramming attack on Berlin Pride, a pro-Islam and diversity event. In recent years, there has been a surge in Muslims carrying out car ramming attacks in Germany and other European countries that have welcomed in large numbers of Muslims.

In 2016, a radical Muslim carried out one of the most deadly mass sh—tings in the U.S. at the Pulse gay nightclub in Orlando. 49 were killed. The LGBTQ+ leadership community responded by rallying around Islam and immigration.

The Thing That Never Happens

NY Post;

The alleged “ringleader” of the explosive drone attack plot against the UFC event at the White House is an illegal immigrant from Mexico who was granted Dreamer status by the Obama administration and allowed to stay in the country, Homeland Security said Thursday.

Abraham Alvarez, 31, came to the US as a child and failed to leave the country when his B2 visa expired in 2001, but was granted deportation relief under the Obama administration through the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.

He was arrested in an old church in the small town of Western, Nebraska, on June 14, which he intended to use as a “safe zone” for himself and his alleged co-conspirators […]

The plotters, who were arrested in Ohio, Missouri and California, allegedly wanted to attack the UFC Freedom 250 event with explosive-laden drones and then pick off fleeing members of the crowd with a team of snipers.

Authorities said Alvarez was responsible for planning, organizing and directing the coordinated attack, which was thwarted by the FBI and local authorities.

War On Fun

It’s getting real;


Washington — The FBI said Tuesday that it disrupted an attempt to attack Sunday’s UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House. Court records detail an alleged plot to use small drones carrying explosives and snipers to target senior government officials and wealthy attendees.

Five people have been charged for their alleged roles in the scheme: Tycen Proper of Ohio, Daniel Eskridge of Missouri, Abraham Hermosillo Alvarez of Nebraska, and Bryan Omar Roa and Michael Alan Thomas of California.

Each has been arrested and is being detained pending additional proceedings.

Affidavits filed across the four criminal cases detailed the alleged plot to target the UFC event at the White House on Sunday, with varying levels of involvement from the five defendants. The filings detail numerous grievances against the government and federal officials, including U.S. support for Israel, the handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files and data centers.

 

Say It Isn’t So, Joe!

Just The News Exclusive;

The House Judiciary Committee said that it has uncovered new funding links between the Biden administration and left-wing groups that oppose the Israeli government, as well as groups with ties to terrorist organizations

A May 29 committee memorandum, which JNS obtained exclusively and which was addressed to committee members from the Republican-led committee staff, addresses “new information about the Biden-Harris administration helping to fund protests against the Netanyahu government.”

It alleges that U.S.-based organizations, including the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and the Tides Network, “provided over $5 million to groups that funded radical anti-Israel protests in the U.S. and Israel, and supported multiple terrorist-linked NGOs.”

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), chairman of the committee, told JNS that the funding from the U.S. Agency for International Development, the State Department and other federal agencies raised questions about the misuse of federal dollars.

“You’re taking taxpayer money, you’re supposed to be doing good work,” the congressman said. “Why in the heck is it going to groups that are pro-Hamas?”

To oust Netanyahu and restore Hamas’ control of Gaza, that’s why Jim.

In one example, Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors (RPA) “received millions of dollars in grants from the Biden-Harris Administration’s USAID, State Department and Department of Defense,” the committee memo says.

RPA then donated $557,000 to its “affiliate and partner,” the Rockefeller Brothers Fund (RBF), per the memo.

RBF, in turn, has “donated $190,000 to Defense for Children International Palestine, an Israel-designated terrorist organization with ties to the U.S.-designated terrorist organization, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine,” according to the memo.

RBF has also made donations to Jewish Voice for Peace, one of the main organizers of anti-Israel demonstrations in the United States, and to Alliance for Global Justice, a U.S.-based non-profit that the committee alleges has provided funding to the Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network.

The Biden administration designated Samidoun as a front for the PFLP in 2024.

And that’s called money-laundering, Jim. You might all do something about that.

Toronto Sun;

It’s absurd for Prime Minister Mark Carney and his cabinet ministers to claim the need for confidentiality prevents them from explaining how a former intelligence commander in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) was granted a temporary resident visa by Canada.

Mehdi Taj, president of the Iranian Football Federation, was turned away by the Canada Border Services Agency — the country’s last line of defence — upon arriving in Toronto last month on his way to a FIFA (Federation Internationale de Football Association) meeting in Vancouver.

But the Carney government has failed to explain how he was granted a visa in the first place. […]

CSIS has identified credible death threats by Iran against Canadians, including a failed attempt to assassinate former Canadian justice minister Irwin Cotler.

No one affiliated with the IRGC is supposed to be allowed into Canada and if they’re here they’re supposed to be deported.

The inexplicable granting of a visa to a former IRGC intelligence commander raises the issue of the failure of the federal government to deport what may be hundreds of agents of the Iranian regime living illegally in Canada.

So far they’ve booted out one — saying the process is complicated — but human rights activists and a 2023 investigation by Global News suggest there could be hundreds of agents of the Iranian regime living illegally in Canada.

What is the point of Canada declaring terrorist organizations if no one is deporting the terrorists?

Thank You For Your Attention To This Matter

The U.S. has begun enforcing a naval blockade on Iran, targeting all vessels entering and exiting its ports across the Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz.

The move is expected to inflict about $435M in total daily losses across Iran’s exports, roughly $13B per month, even as its oil revenues rose 37% during the war to about $139M per day.

The IRGC had been operating a paid “protection corridor,” charging up to $2M per vessel in crypto, but the blockade could halt exports, disrupt imports, trigger food shortages, and accelerate the collapse of the rial.

Plus: vessels entering the Strait of Hormuz without authorization are subject to interception, diversion, and capture by the U.S. military. […] “The blockade will not impede neutral transit passage through the Strait of Hormuz to or from non-Iranian destinations.”

More: The thing about that Persian Gulf stranglehold is that, like the Sword of Damcles, it’s only effective until it’s played.”

Are We Still A Member Of This Thing?

The first rule of fishing is fish where the fish are;

The chief oversight body responsible for tracking U.S. foreign assistance says United Nations agencies are stonewalling a probe into their ties to Hamas. The agencies have failed to provide investigators with information that could identify their employees as affiliates of the terror group, according to a non-public report transmitted to Congress and obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

Mad Mullah Money

Maybe bombing the banker was a bad idea;

The arrest of dozens of IRGC-linked money changers in the United Arab Emirates is one of the most serious blows yet to Tehran’s sanctions-evasion network, laying bare how heavily the Islamic Republic has depended on Dubai as an economic lifeline.

Sources familiar with the matter told Iran International that UAE authorities detained dozens of money changers tied to financial entities linked to Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, shut down associated companies and closed their offices.

The crackdown follows days of mounting regional tensions and comes after other measures targeting Iranian nationals, including visa revocations and tighter travel restrictions through Dubai.

For years, Dubai has served as Iran’s main offshore financial artery, where oil proceeds, petrochemical revenues and rial conversions were turned into dollars, dirhams and euros beyond the reach of the country’s battered domestic banking system.

“This is going to be a real problem for Tehran because Dubai was an economic lung for the Iranian regime,” Jason Brodsky of United Against Nuclear Iran told Iran International.

“That is economic pressure and diplomatic isolation in a way that the UAE is able to employ against the Iranian regime, and it will have a very considerable impact.”

SANCTIONS: The U.S. Treasury has sanctioned the Canadian company Seven Seas for International Trading and Logistics, a Vancouver-based company, over alleged ties to a $100 million Hezbollah financing network led by financier Alaa Hassan Hamieh.

Assets under U.S. jurisdiction are now frozen and American entities are barred from doing business with the firm, as authorities say the network used multiple front companies to move funds supporting Hezbollah operations.

No shit, Muhammad: B.C.’s Ministry of Finance said the province was not alerted to the situation before the U.S. announcement
