shoebat--2020-12-04--US Is Officially Training For A War With “Hard Targets”

About fifteen years ago , I was sitting with a person who I had done work with as a part of my academic studies who became a friend .
She is an older woman , but was very involved in political circles with powerful people .
We were talking about the future , and she said that a friend of hers in a powerful position told her something that she could not believe or understand on her own but accepted because she trusts this person , and this is that the greatest threat to the US is Russia and the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a conflict with her .
I did not understand what she meant at the time .
However , having seen the events of 2007 , the Euromaidan in Ukraine , the migration crisis , and the rise of nationalism as well as other political events , it is clear that the end of the Cold War and the breakup of the USSR was but preparation for a coming conflict with Russia instigated by the US and Russia alike .
There is no ‘ innocent ’ party in this , because points can be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
That said , The Drive reports that US Special Operations forces are now officially training for a war with “ hard targets ” , of which Russia and China fall into this category .
s the U.S. special operations community , as a whole , works to better prepare itself for higher-end conflicts against potential near-peer adversaries , the Army says it will train and equip company-sized units of Special Forces personnel , better known as Green Berets , focused on taking down “ hard targets.
” This plan notably comes months @ @ @ @ @ @ @ funds in its most recent budget request to build the secretive Joint Special Operations Command a specialized training facility where its operators could practice attacking “ complex , hardened facility targets.
” The HTD ’ s activities in this fictional scenario fall under the general definition of “ special reconnaissance , ” a special operations forces mission set generally defined as operations to covertly gather intelligence in denied or otherwise sensitive areas .
In this case , the target can be considered “ hard ” given its sensitive nature as an ostensibly civilian @ @ @ @ @ @ @ third country , neither of which the United States is at war with .
“ Hard targets ” could also certainly include hardened targets , such as critical command and control nodes , facilities housing weapons of mass destruction ( WMD ) , and other high-value sites that may well be housed inside well-protected bunker complexes , primarily below ground .
A number of major potential U.S. adversaries , including North Korea and Iran , as well as near-peer competitors , such as Russia and China , are increasingly turning to deeply-buried infrastructure @ @ @ @ @ @ @ attacks , something is of particular interest here at The War Zone .
Green Berets tasked with these kinds of missions would definitely benefit from more regular training in the tactics , techniques , and procedures necessary to carry them out .
In addition , given the expanding anti-access and area-denial capabilities that more capable potential adversaries , such as Russia or China , have at their disposal , it would be important for the Army Special Forces elements to coordinate with units , including special operations units from other branches , to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the target area successfully in the first place .
( source ) This is not talking about a ‘ weak ’ target , such as an Afghanistan or Iraq , but fighting against serious military powers where death is going to be a reality .
This has the potential for not just a few thousand soldier deaths , but deaths in the hundreds of thousands , possibly even in the millions .
One may remember that in one battle alone- the Battle of Stalingrad in 1942 -almost 2 million soldiers ( 800,000 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The one day of Normandy landings killed between 14,000 and 19,000 soldiers .
These are the levels of casualties that may be seen in a “ hard targets ” type scenario when facing against a Russia or China .
The same can be said in reverse if either or both nations were attacking the US , for the US would not go down without a major fight , and the violence would be horrendous .
This is likewise why Special Operations are being discussed- because it is a way to try and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more direct military action , which also helps to reduce casualties .
The same can be said of robotics- the future soldier will involve robotics because robots just break , and they do not die .
One only needs to look at the recent Nagorno-Karabakh conflict to see where Azerbaijan by way of Turkey used drones to annihilate the Armenian positions and defeat them quickly , whereas if left to normal circumstances , the fight would have been much more difficult for the Azeris .
This is not the “ post Soviet world @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to living in a “ post-dollar ” world , and with the American empire in decline , the dollar falling apart , the economic chaos that comes from this will cause political chaos , and the major militaries of the world are aware of this and making steps to prepare for the future .

China is a rising power , but is also weak , and does not want to see her opportunities taken away by the Americans or any other group .

We were talking about the future, and she said that a friend of hers in a powerful position told her something that she could not believe or understand on her own but accepted because she trusts this person, and this is that the greatest threat to the US is Russia and the US has began to aggressively prepare for a conflict with her.
I did not understand what she meant at the time. However, having seen the events of 2007, the Euromaidan in Ukraine, the migration crisis, and the rise of nationalism as well as other political events, it is clear that the end of the Cold War and the breakup of the USSR was but preparation for a coming conflict with Russia instigated by the US and Russia alike.

This is not talking about a ‘weak’ target, such as an Afghanistan or Iraq, but fighting against serious military powers where death is going to be a reality. This has the potential for not just a few thousand soldier deaths, but deaths in the hundreds of thousands, possibly even in the millions.
One may remember that in one battle alone- the Battle of Stalingrad in 1942 -almost 2 million soldiers (800,000 Germans and 1.1 million Russians) died. The one day of Normandy landings killed between 14,000 and 19,000 soldiers.
These are the levels of casualties that may be seen in a “hard targets” type scenario when facing against a Russia or China. The same can be said in reverse if either or both nations were attacking the US, for the US would not go down without a major fight, and the violence would be horrendous.
This is likewise why Special Operations are being discussed- because it is a way to try and make a target easier to hit before more direct military action, which also helps to reduce casualties. The same can be said of robotics- the future soldier will involve robotics because robots just break, and they do not die. One only needs to look at the recent Nagorno-Karabakh conflict to see where Azerbaijan by way of Turkey used drones to annihilate the Armenian positions and defeat them quickly, whereas if left to normal circumstances, the fight would have been much more difficult for the Azeris.
This is not the “post Soviet world” anymore. We are now close to living in a “post-dollar” world, and with the American empire in decline, the dollar falling apart, the economic chaos that comes from this will cause political chaos, and the major militaries of the world are aware of this and making steps to prepare for the future.
Russia in a major war is going to fight hard because given the demographic problems, economic problems, and state of her nation, Russia potentially could go through a historical breakup and be rendered, on a global scale, impotent. She does not want this to happen and is likely going to do all she can to stop it from happening. China is a rising power, but is also weak, and does not want to see her opportunities taken away by the Americans or any other group.
Likewise, in this context, the trends that I have discussed remain constant. There will be a lot of training, but ultimately, the winner will be the one who embraces and develops the new military technologies, of which the most important ones are going to be the use of AI, and biotechnology either as robots serving as soldiers or as soldiers who capabilities are augmented by technology. This is what the machine gun was to World War I, and the nuclear bomb to World War II.
The biggest losers, it seems, may be the common men, especially the recent migrants to Europe, who will likely be used and then openly destroyed as nothing more than pawns in a game of power.

shoebat--2020-12-04--US Military: China Conducting Human Testing To Make Genetically Modified Super Soldiers

Shoebat.com warned you that the future of war would be robotics , AI , and a merger of man and machine up to and possibly including something like what was seen in the Terminator film series .
As a continuation of that trend , NBC News reports that the US military has declared that China is experimenting on soldiers with genetic editing , trying to create “ super soldiers ” .
U.S. intelligence shows that China has conducted “ human testing ” on members of the People ’ s Liberation Army in hope of developing soldiers with “ biologically enhanced @ @ @ @ @ @ @ official said Friday .
John Ratcliffe , the director of national intelligence , included the explosive claim in a long Wall Street Journal op-ed in which he made the case that China poses the pre-eminent national security threat to the U.S. “ There are no ethical boundaries to Beijing ’ s pursuit of power , ” wrote Ratcliffe , a Republican former member of Congress from Texas .
His office and the CIA did not immediately respond to requests to elaborate on the notion that China sought to create “ super soldiers ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ like “ Captain America , ” “ Bloodshot ” and “ Universal Soldier.
” Last year , two American scholars wrote a paper examining China ’ s ambitions to apply biotechnology to the battlefield , including what they said were signs that China was interested in using gene-editing technology to enhance human — and perhaps soldier — performance .
Specifically , the scholars explored Chinese research using the gene-editing tool CRISPR , short for “ clusters of regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats.
” CRISPR has been used to treat genetic diseases and modify @ @ @ @ @ @ @ unethical to seek to manipulate genes to boost the performance of healthy people .
“ While the potential leveraging of CRISPR to increase human capabilities on the future battlefield remains only a hypothetical possibility at the present , there are indications that Chinese military researchers are starting to explore its potential , ” wrote the scholars , Elsa Kania , an expert on Chinese defense technology at the Center for a New American Security , and Wilson VornDick , a consultant on China matters and former Navy officer .
“ Chinese military scientists @ @ @ @ @ @ @ could become a ‘ new strategic commanding heights of the future Revolution in Military Affairs , ' ” the scholars wrote , quoting a 2015 article in a military newspaper .
One prominent Chinese general , they noted , said in 2017 that “ modern biotechnology and its integration with information , nano ( technology ) , and the cognitive , etc .
domains will have revolutionary influences upon weapons and equipment , the combat spaces , the forms of warfare , and military theories.
” VornDick said in a phone interview that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ advantage such research might provide than he is about the consequences of tampering with human genes .
“ When we start playing around with genetic organisms , there could be unforeseen consequences , ” he said .
Representatives of the Chinese government did not immediately respond to a request for comment .
( source ) Now this is a real concern .
However , as Shoebat.com has reported many times , the US military has been involved in this for many years , probably longer than the Chinese , and in spite of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is likely more advanced than China by far .
Germany is in a similar situation .
Second , another trend I have noted is how the Chinese utterly fail to produce things that do not fall apart .
They serve plastic pellets as rice coated in liquid human feces as oil , in buildings where the cement is powered and can be pulled away from the steel with a simple hand tool , where buildings collapse in ghost cities , and worker safety is a joke as people die on the job daily @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s collective brain explode .
Does one really believe that Chinese biotechnical experiments will actually work out well , and not end up creating some chimera that does more damage to them than to their enemy ?
Just look at COVID- if the Chinese can not keep a simple virus under control and prevent it from getting out and causing global problems in what is supposed to have been their most secure lab , it does not speak well to their future about keeping control over strange biological experiments .
Third , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that whoever masters this technology is going to be the most likely winner in a future war .
So far , the US , Germany , and Japan are the leading bloc , with probably Russia second and given her relations with Germany and NATO , the possibility of Turkey in this too , and then China and possibly India third .
China is going to be a threat- make no mistake about this .
But China also needs allies or at least , neutral parties who will not fight her .
Instead @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Pakistan for practical purposes , and to that , Pakistan is not reliable .
Instead , she is surrounded by India in the southwest , Japan to the northeast , a non-helpful ally in Russia to the north ( and possibly an enemy if Russia fears China gets too close to Siberia ) , rebellion all across southeast Asia , a belligerent US , and opposition from France , Germany , and the UK , including possible military action from at least one of them .
While she is making robots , or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that she continues to fail in is being able to feed her own people without relying on imports from the US and other nations .
If the pork you eat and the soy you consume come from your enemies , or your food produced from nearby countries do not like you ( such as southeast Asia ) , one can not expect to just wage war without major consequences , for one of the first things to be stopped would be food supplies , and starving people do not make for obedient citizens @ @ @ @ @ @ @ offers their pain-stricken and empty bellies a bite of food to eat .
In other words , China has a long ways to go , and her trends to war must be measured against her historical trends of mismanagement that consistently bring about her eventual undoing and conquest by foreign nations .

By Theodore Shoebat
Since 2015, 11,500 Christians have been butchered in Nigeria by Muslims, as we read in a recent report from the Daily Signal:
Horrific massacres of Christians in the northern and middle parts of Nigeria at the hands of Muslim militants and terrorists have been a daily occurrence in recent years.
Nigeria, a nation of close to 200 million, is made up about evenly of Christians and Muslims. Christians live predominantly in the South; Muslims are the majority in the North.
Over 11,500 Christians have been murdered in Nigeria since June 2015, Genocide Watch reported in April.
The perpetrators of the killings are Islamist terrorists from Boko Haram (also known as the Islamic State in West Africa), who seek to create a state like the so-called caliphate that took hold in parts of Iraq and Syria between 2014 and 2015.


shoebat--2020-12-04--Patriot Act Used To Collect Even More Data In 2019

One of the trends that people have noted for years was that of the Patriot Act being a tool to pry more into the personal lives of men for no clear reason other than just monitoring .
This has caused a lot of concern for people because it is a step towards implementing a more totalitarian approach , such as by the eventual legalization and promoting of monitoring people anywhere , at any time , for any reason , and possibly making decisions that could impact them legally .
According to TheHill , this trend , which was brought up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ just continued , but matured as it found that the Patriot Act was used as a justification to gather a virtual dragnet of information on people visiting websites in 2019 .
The federal government used the Patriot Act to collect website visit logs in 2019 , the Office of the Director of National Intelligence revealed in letters made public Thursday , putting a renewed focus on surveillance authorities that lapsed earlier this year .
Director of National Intelligence ( DNI ) John Ratcliffe , in a Nov. 6 letter in response to Sen. @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that Section 215 of the Patriot Act , which allows the FBI to covertly obtain court orders to collect any business records relevant to a national security , was not used to get internet search terms .
He later clarified that position in a Nov. 25 follow-up letter after being contacted by the Justice Department to note that the authority had been used once to collect logs showing which computers “ in a specified foreign country ” had visited “ a single , identified U.S. web page ” during 2019 .
“ The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ kinds of new questions , including whether , in this particular case , the government has taken steps to avoid collecting Americans ’ web browsing information , ” Wyden said in a statement to The Hill on Thursday .
“ More generally , the DNI has provided no guarantee that the government wouldn ’ t use the Patriot Act to intentionally collect Americans ’ web browsing information in the future , which is why Congress must pass the warrant requirement that has already received support from a bipartisan majority in the Senate.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ comment on whether the authority had been used to gather similar information before 2019 , but did suggest that collecting web browsing data was consistent with the agency ’ s interpretation of the law .
“ Section 215 has been an important tool used by the government to obtain this type of non-content information to combat cyber and other national security threats , ” they said , referring to data about communications excluding the communications themselves .
“ This type of non-content information can be obtained in a criminal investigation through the use @ @ @ @ @ @ @ see no reason to prohibit the acquisition of the same type of information under Section 215 when investigating a threat to national security.
” While Ratcliffe noted that the government did not collect keywords for searches , the data collected is considered sensitive by many civil rights groups .
“ Our web-browsing records are windows into some of the most sensitive information about our lives — revealing everything from our political views to potential medical conditions , ” Patrick Toomey , senior staff attorney with the ACLU ’ s National Security Project , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ FBI should not be collecting this information without a warrant.
” Sean Vitka , senior policy counsel at the progressive group Demand Progress , said that the same logic could be used to justify mass surveillance .
“ If this is legal in their mind then a dragnet on a website is legal , ” he told The Hill .
( source ) The question here , which the Patriot Act raised years ago , is the same as before .
If the government doesn ’ t need a warrant to secretly collect @ @ @ @ @ @ @ doing almost anything to collect information ?
Likewise , what is being collected about who for what case ?
These questions are not being answered , and they are serious , because one does not want to collect , assuming good will , things about people who are not involved with the justification of “ anything goes ” in the name of the law .
This is not about “ stopping criminals ” , of which the most often cited excuse is child abuse material , but even that is joke because as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out , the arguable biggest peddler of abuse material is the government herself .
The same can be said about drug cartels as well , for as Shoebat.com and other sites have pointed out , there is a curious overlap between the cartels and what seem to be military or intelligence type programs that many have noted for decades constantly .
Government and people , while there is historical tensions between both , represent important parts of a whole continuum for how a society works .
There will always be problems , but @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a level of trust between the rulers and the ruled .
This trust has been severely undermined for a long time in the US , and it has devolved into more control over things that do not necessarily need control .
Rather , things are coming to resemble more of a system found in highly autocratic nations where a small minority controls the majority with little care for them as a whole .
What we may be witnessing , as a trend , is the continued end of the Internet as we know @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lot of freedom to many , the very tool the made people free can be turned around to enslave them , and if more monitoring continues along with increase enforcement of laws for questionable reasons , such as political ideologies in the name of stopping ‘ hatred ’ or enforcing a sort of ‘ equality ’ , then truly it is an information gathering trap from which it will be very difficult to escape .

The question here, which the Patriot Act raised years ago, is the same as before.
If the government doesn’t need a warrant to secretly collect information, what is stopping them from doing almost anything to collect information?
Likewise, what is being collected about who for what case? These questions are not being answered, and they are serious, because one does not want to collect, assuming good will, things about people who are not involved with the justification of “anything goes” in the name of the law.
This is not about “stopping criminals”, of which the most often cited excuse is child abuse material, but even that is joke because as Reason Magazine and other sources have pointed out, the arguable biggest peddler of abuse material is the government herself. The same can be said about drug cartels as well, for as Shoebat.com and other sites have pointed out, there is a curious overlap between the cartels and what seem to be military or intelligence type programs that many have noted for decades constantly.

There will always be problems, but ideally there needs to be something of a level of trust between the rulers and the ruled. This trust has been severely undermined for a long time in the US, and it has devolved into more control over things that do not necessarily need control. Rather, things are coming to resemble more of a system found in highly autocratic nations where a small minority controls the majority with little care for them as a whole.
What we may be witnessing, as a trend, is the continued end of the Internet as we know it. Once something that brought a lot of freedom to many, the very tool the made people free can be turned around to enslave them, and if more monitoring continues along with increase enforcement of laws for questionable reasons, such as political ideologies in the name of stopping ‘hatred’ or enforcing a sort of ‘equality’, then truly it is an information gathering trap from which it will be very difficult to escape.

shoebat--2020-12-04--Why Is The DoD Monitoring COVID Vaccines?

COVID is a major concern , but as I have noted , sometimes the effects or “ cure ” is worse than the actual problem .
This is not just with COVID , but is a problem consistent throughout history .
One does not want to “ fix ” something with a solution now that raises more questions in the future .
An example of this has just been noted , and not in a concerning way , by CNN , in a report that as the first COVID vaccinations in the US are being given out , the Department @ @ @ @ @ @ @ monitoring COVID vaccinations .
The Department of Defense released the first images of a Covid-19 vaccination record card and vaccination kits Wednesday .
Vaccination cards will be used as the “ simplest ” way to keep track of Covid-19 shots , said Dr. Kelly Moore , associate director of the Immunization Action Coalition , which is supporting frontline workers who will administer Covid-19 vaccinations .
“ Everyone will be issued a written card that they can put in their wallet that will tell them what they had and when their next dose is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Let ’ s do the simple , easy thing first .
Everyone ’ s going to get that.
” Vaccination clinics will also be reporting to their state immunization registries what vaccine was given , so that , for example , an entity could run a query if it didn ’ t know where a patient got a first dose .
Moore said many places are planning to ask patients to voluntarily provide a cell phone number , so they can get a text message telling them when and where their next dose @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dose administered will be reported to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention , said Claire Hannan , executive director of the Association of Immunization Managers .
The CDC did not immediately respond to CNN ’ s inquiry about whether such a database would include a record of everyone immunized .
As far as vaccine kits , the DoD image shows the kits include a card , a needle and syringe , alcohol wipes and a mask .
Operation Warp Speed has 100 million vaccine kits ready to go if and when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Gen. Gustave Perna , Warp Speed ’ s chief operating officer , said last month .
The images come as two companies — Pfizer and Moderna — await emergency use authorizations ( EUA ) in the United States .
A panel with the US Food and Drug Administration is expected to discuss whether to authorize the EUAs on December 10 and 17 .
Should Pfizer and Moderna get the authorization , the vaccines ’ first shipments could happen December 15 and 22 , respectively , according to a document from the federal government @ @ @ @ @ @ @ supplies in the United States will be limited , and the wider population won ’ t have access to vaccines until months into 2021 .
A CDC panel recommended Tuesday that heath care and long-term care workers get inoculated first .
By February , 100 million Americans could be vaccinated against coronavirus , Moncef Slaoui , chief adviser to Operation Warp Speed , said Wednesday .
The United States has said if both Pfizer and Moderna win FDA emergency use authorization in December , they could distribute 40 million doses of vaccine by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vaccine requires two doses , so that ’ s enough to fully vaccinate 20 million people .
( source ) Now I am not a “ reactionary ” to vaccine issues , but as with all things , basic questions should provide clear and consistent answers .
That is not unreasonable or much to expect .
After all , would you eat something without knowing what it is if was new to you ?
In the same way , new things always require , for the observant man , simple question and simple @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I am seeing here .
Instead , I see questions , with no real way to explain the logic behind them .
For example , why is the DoD working with the CDC ?
This is a disease issue , not a military issue- or at least , it should be .
It makes no sense that the DoD would have an interest in this save outside of vaccinating soldiers or military personnel .
Second , why are people being given “ vaccination cards ” to carry with them ?
People make jokes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , bitte ” , but really , why does one need to carry a “ vaccine card ” in one ’ s wallet ?
It seems very odd , and more than just a schedule .
Indeed , there already exist registries in states for people who have AIDS , because of the fact that they carry a deadly disease , yet they do not have to carry “ identification cards.
” This is not done for other incurable diseases such as HPV or Herpes , nor do other diseases get similar cards @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one ’ s person .
So what makes COVID special ?
There is no answer to this .
Third , and perhaps most concerning , why are vaccinations being reported to “ state registries ” ?
Why does the state government need to know , for even with a pandemic , is it not enough just to speak to ones doctor ?
All files are on record- why does one need a COVID registry , especially considering how the pandemic , while it has killed many people , is nothing in comparison to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ people who are ‘ vaccinated ’ need to be on this registry ?
Likewise , this “ registry ” goes straight to the federal government .
Why do they need to know which people in what state have it ?
One would think that getting COVID would , like AIDS , put one on a registry , but getting cured of it would take one off .
Why , then , would people need to be put on a registry for getting the cure to a disease when they were not on one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Fourth , what about people who don ’ t get vaccinated ?
Are they going to be forced to get this vaccine , or will they have other options ?
Or will they be ‘ locked out ’ of ‘ access ’ to certain areas of society ?
These are just four simple questions , with no good answers .
There is , however , a fifth reason that upon closer research , I have found , and it is something that mentions what people who are opposed to the vaccine have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I have never seen anybody discuss at all .
In fact , I believe it is the most disturbing aspect of the whole vaccine , and yet , nobody has dared to answer it ( check for a future article this month , before Christmas , about it ) .
For now , what we can say is that something does not seem right about this vaccine .
Again , it is important to say that if a real vaccine exists that truly helps people , that is a good thing .
However @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a potentially higher price than what it claims to cure , and the more one looks into this ‘ vaccine ’ , the more questions it raises that the vaccine is not so much about the disease , but has the signs of being a curious weaponization of biotechnology and science with militaristic and even financial ambitions coming together in one product with the pandemic as the excuse to impose it on the public .

A Jewish cult leader in Israel, Rabbi Elazar Rompler, was horrifically abusing children. He had one child stripped and beaten for hours, and this was not uncommon in his reign of terror. Children were starved and sick children were deprived of the medicine that they needed. In the middle of this despot’s trial, he fled to Israel. As we read in the Times of Israel:
A member of the Hasidic Lev Tahor cult has escaped Israel and traveled to Guatemala, his lawyer said Tuesday, six months after he was indicted for abusive behavior against 9- and 10-year-old children. Rabbi Elazar Rompler, 46, was charged in May at the Jerusalem District Court with assaulting and abusing children mentally and physically in 2009-2011, when he served as the principal of a school belonging to the fringe community in Canada. A former cult member has said Rompler, who was in charge of kashrut, would starve children by forbidding them from eating almost everything. He also allegedly barred some from taking medicine — even when urgently needed — without his written approval. In one case, according to the indictment, Rompler had a child stripped, tied up and beaten for several hours over suspicions he stole money from a charity money box. In another, he is accused of instructing other teachers to hold a child down and beat him repeatedly for allegedly lying about needing eyeglasses.
This cult, Lev Tahor, has been fleeing the law from where ever they settle. Their founder, Shlomo Helbrans, began his cult in New York and was eventually sentenced to prison for kidnapping a 13 year old boy. He served two years and was released after getting preferential treatment from the administration of New York governor George Pataki. He ran a Yeshiva in Monsey, New York and was eventually deported back to Israel. From Israel he went to Canada where he settled in Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts, Quebec. The cult fled Canada after allegations of child abuse, and then they went to Guatemala where, yet again, their presence was unwanted because of (you guessed it!) abuse. According to Haaretz:
After having been forced to abandon Israel, the United States and Canada amid accusations of child abuse, the radical ultra-Orthodox Lev Tahor sect is now under investigation in Guatemala, where it has been based for the past two years.
Guatemalan media reported that police had conducted a raid lasting several hours on the village where over 200 Lev Tahor members live. One unconfirmed report said children were taken away from their parents, and another said that Israeli officials were present during the raid. The Foreign Ministry said in a press statement last night that Israel was cooperating with Guatemalan authorities. “The Guatemalan authorities recently decided to investigate members of the community on suspicion that serious criminal offenses, including against minors, are being committed in the compound where they live,” the statement said. “The relevant Israeli authorities are in direct contact with the Guatemalan authorities and are following developments closely in order to ensure the welfare of Israeli citizens, most of them minors, who are in the Lev Tahor community’s compound in Guatemala.” When they arrived in Guatemala they settled in a village called San Juan La Laguna where the villagers began not to like them very much. But this was not for no reason. The elders of the village said that the cult “wanted to impose their religion” and were sabotaging the Catholic tradition of the land. If the Americans, Canadians and Guatemalans did not want this cult, it makes sense that Israel would not want them either.

shoebat--2020-12-05--House Votes To Decriminalize Medical Marijuana

I have been continually saying that drug legalization is a major trend for the future .
This will have major consequences for the future on the legal system , financial investments , and society .

According to ABC News , a major step was taken that while not legalizing the drug , the US House voted to federally decriminalize marijuana possession .
For the first time in congressional history , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ measure that would decriminalize marijuana use at the federal level — months after pulling the bill amid worries the controversial vote could cause some lawmakers to lose tight races in November .
The vote passed 228-164 , mostly down party lines , with just five Republicans voting in favor of the measure .
Six Democrats voted to oppose .
While the federal government continues to criminalize cannabis , House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler stressed that 36 states and the District of Columbia have legalized medical cannabis while 15 states and the District of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ use .
Nadler said the legislation “ would reverse the failed policy of criminalizing marijuana on the federal level and would take steps to address the heavy toll this policy has taken across the country , particularly on communities of color.

Whatever one ’ s views are on the use of marijuana for recreational or medicinal use , the policy of arrests , prosecution , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ proven unwise and unjust , ” Nadler , D-N.Y. , said during debate on the bill Friday morning .

shoebat--2020-12-05--“Religious Jewish Man” Arrested After Trying To Burn Down Catholic Church On The Mount Of Olives In

“Religious Jewish Man” Arrested After Trying To Burn Down Catholic Church On The Mount Of Olives In Israel

According to the Jerusalem Post , a Jewish man was arrested after trying to burn down a Catholic Church on the Mount of Olives in Israel .
Police arrested on Friday a religious Jewish man after he set fire to the inside of a Roman-Catholic church called The Church of All Nations located on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem .
The man is suspected to be a right-wing man who set fire to the holy site on the basis of a hate crime , but no details have been confirmed .
No injuries were reported , and the damage @ @ @ @ @ @ @ scene , sections of the burnt floor can be seen alongside a number of lightly charred pews .
Wadie Abunassar , Advisor to the Assembly of the Catholic Ordinaries , said that they are “ grateful to God ” that there was little damage done and that no one was hurt .
He also thanked police for their swift work to arrest the man who caused the damage .
“ We hope for a serious investigation , especially with regard to motive , because if the motive is truly suspected to be racist @ @ @ @ @ @ @ drawn , ” Abunasser said .
He said that the conclusions should not only be drawn “ in the field of security , but also in education because it seems that people here don ’ t really promote coexistence base on mutual respect of all faithful in the Holy Land.

According to the Jerusalem Post, a Jewish man was arrested after trying to burn down a Catholic Church on the Mount of Olives in Israel.
Police arrested on Friday a religious Jewish man after he set fire to the inside of a Roman-Catholic church called The Church of All Nations located on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem. The man is suspected to be a right-wing man who set fire to the holy site on the basis of a hate crime, but no details have been confirmed. No injuries were reported, and the damage was limited. In videos of the scene, sections of the burnt floor can be seen alongside a number of lightly charred pews. Wadie Abunassar, Advisor to the Assembly of the Catholic Ordinaries, said that they are “grateful to God” that there was little damage done and that no one was hurt. He also thanked police for their swift work to arrest the man who caused the damage. “We hope for a serious investigation, especially with regard to motive, because if the motive is truly suspected to be racist, I believe many conclusions should be drawn,” Abunasser said. He said that the conclusions should not only be drawn “in the field of security, but also in education because it seems that people here don’t really promote coexistence base on mutual respect of all faithful in the Holy Land.” The church, also known as the Basilica of the Agony, was built on the site of the Garden of Gethsemane which enshrines a section of bedrock that is believed to be the place that Jesus prayed on the night of his arrest, according to the Foreign Ministry.
