Two Recent Smuggling Cases Provide a Rare Glimpse of a Terrorism Threat at the Southwest Border and What ICE Is Doing About It
By Todd Bensman on August 13, 2018
As I described in a recent Backgrounder, the U.S. homeland security establishment — under Republicans and Democrats alike — has long regarded the notion that terrorists could infiltrate through the nation's land borders and later attack as a real thing. Congress and those who do homeland security for a living have quietly worried about this enough, anyway, to justify years of treasure and effort in largely unknown and unheralded operations to reduce this immigration-related terrorism threat.
They have worked at it in tandem ways: First, by investigating and arresting the foreign-based human smugglers who run extreme long-haul transport operations that routinely bring in to the Southwest border migrants from terrorist-harboring nations of the Middle East, North and East Africa, and South Asia. These smuggling networks are a high-value target because they demonstrate a capability for Islamist terror operatives to reach the southern border, as many have in Europe. This counterterrorism mission has fallen to the men and women of ICE's Homeland Security Investigations (ICE-HSI) division, as I'll soon show.
The second way is that Border Patrol and CBP inspectors on the border tag apprehended migrants in a higher risk category known as "special interest aliens" (SIAs) and put them through an enhanced national security screening regimen.
Investigating the smugglers and screening their clients are two distinct operations that work in tandem. The screening at the border improves the chances of knowing if a given SIA poses a terrorism problem and, at the same time, can produce intelligence information ICE-HSI can use to go after smugglers. ICE-HSI does these investigations in joint partnership with the Justice Department's Criminal Division under the Extraterritorial Criminal Travel Strike Force program.
None of this is very well known and only rarely attracts shallow media coverage. But every once in a while, a public glimpse of this counterterrorism struggle is made possible when ICE-HSI makes a bust, and all you have to do is look, which we'll now do, to see what the most recent two SIA smuggling busts have to offer.
Moayad Heider Mohammad Aldairi
This first one is so fresh it's still just unraveling. But what we know right now is that on August 4, 2018, ICE-HIS agents busted Moayad Heider Mohammad Aldairi, 31, at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York. Aldairi is accused of smuggling at least six migrants from Yemen across the Texas border through Mexico, from his base in Monterrey, between July 1 and December 12, 2017. The Yemenis illegally crossed near the Texas border town of Eagle Pass.
He is a Jordanian national with dual Mexican citizenship. This is typical of SIA smugglers. Prior court prosecutions of SIA smugglers show that many of them hold dual citizenship and are multi-lingual, the combination of skillsets almost necessary to run this kind of alien smuggling business. What we know so far mainly comes from a Department of Justice press release and a criminal complaint from the U.S. District Court's Western District of Texas, where much more will be learned as the prosecution progresses (look for updates on this blog).
HSI agents interviewed all of the Yemeni migrants. According to the complaint, they told HSI they paid Aldairi "varying amounts" for the smuggling and identified him from a photo lineup.
Whether any of the Yemeni migrants had terrorism connections is left unsaid at this point. However, the State Department's most recent Country Reports on Terrorism show how reasonable it is for homeland security to worry about human smuggling from Yemen these days. An ongoing civil war in the country features al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) and ISIS's Yemen branch. AQAP has held significant territory in Yemen, and in 2016 the group managed to get its hands on "unprecedented resources" by raiding the central bank and levying taxes, the State Department report says.
Analytically speaking, the six smuggled Yemenis might have fled victimhood perpetrated by these terrorist organizations and came to Texas border with an arguable need for lawful asylum. But perhaps also AQAP or the ISIS affiliate sent them and paid their smuggling fees from seized central bank money. From a purely homeland security perspective, the legitimate point of singling out migrants from countries of interest like Yemen, flagged for added national security screening, is to learn which is the case. Arresting their highly specialized, multi-lingual, dual-citizenship smugglers makes even that risk-fraught difficulty unnecessary going forward in that the ability to travel such long distances is diminished, at least for a time.
Without explaining any of this context, Assistant Attorney General Brian A. Benczkowski of the Justice Department's Criminal Division still succinctly explained the significance of the bust: "Alien smuggling puts our national security at risk."
I'll share what I know as I attend Aldairi's court hearings once he is transferred to Eagle Pass, Texas, for prosecution.
Sharafat Ali Khan
ICE-HSI's second most recent counterterrorism smuggling case was against Pakistani SIA smuggler Sharafat Ali Khan.
Khan ran a global human smuggling network that transported between 25 and 99 illegal immigrants from Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Afghanistan from Brazil to Texas and California. The majority were fellow Pakistanis.
Again, this prosecution, conviction, and imprisonment in 2017 provided a rare and revealing look at a smuggling pathway that homeland security authorities believe terrorists from Pakistan or Afghanistan could have used any time. A trove of court records tells some of the story.
ICE-HSI finally got cuffs on Khan in July 2016 after an international investigation, and he was sentenced in October 2017. As we know, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh are home to al Qaeda, ISIS affiliates, and many other U.S.-designated terrorist groups. The court records do not indicate whether any of Khan's paying customers were extremists planning harm in the United States; such records typically would not include sensitive intelligence information like this. That doesn't mean Islamic extremists were not among Khan's up to 99 clients. Maybe none were. But it could be that federal authorities don't know; in part, because there were so many to track down and investigate. Or if ICE-HSI did know of terrorism connections, they had good reasons to not disclose such information in court records to protect other investigations or sources.
In any case, Khan was uniquely situated to provide the travel capability that any extremist from his home region could have exploited for $15,000 or less. He is a 33-year-old native of Pakistan with permanent legal residency in Brasilia, Brazil, and an Ecuadoran passport. ICE-HSI Investigators learned he worked full-time at the Sao Paulo, Brazil, international airport. He preferred that paying customers call him "Dr. Nakib". The dual residency, multiple passports, and airport job would have really helped Khan communicate in Urdu with other smugglers at home and to conduct multi-national operations. Khan charged his clients between $3,000 and $15,000 for the Brazil-U.S. border travel as part of a broader network based overseas, likely in Pakistan. He ran a network of smugglers all through Latin America, who guided his customers by bus, foot, and airplane to the U.S. border along variations of a Brazil-Venezuela-Peru-Ecuador-Colombia-Panama-Costa Rica-Nicaragua-El Salvador-Guatemala-Mexico route. The trip could take as long as nine months.
We learned that HSI agents interviewed 81 foreign nationals for this case in many different countries; among them were many of Khan's clients after they had crossed into the United States, demonstrating one pretty clear value for singling out migrants as special interest aliens for interviews. For instance, one (referred to only as "UA1") was interviewed at the Pharr, Texas, border port of entry. First, UA1 was flown from Pakistan to Sao Paulo, Brazil, after which UA1 rested up in a residence in the city of Brasilia controlled by Khan. Smuggler and client kept in touch by phone and WhatsApp at various points. From afar, Khan would tell UA1 where to go, who to contact, and when to give more money to Khan confederates along the way, like a shorter-range smuggler in Guatemala. Khan told UA1 to delete all the WhatsApp conversations and to not mention his name if caught at the U.S. border.
Of course, despite Khan's encouragement not to discuss him, some obviously told investigators everything they knew. They clearly worked the case hard and also had some breaks. They obtained the text messaging from at least one Khan client, while other sources got up close and personal with recording devices. Brazilian federal police, as part of an unrelated investigation, raided Khan's house in Brasilia. They took cell phones, a ledger documenting payments for his smuggling services, Western Union receipts, and the passports he would take from Pakistani customers. Khan fled the country in June 2016, using his Ecuadoran passport for travel. But he got caught in Doha while waiting for a connecting flight. Eventually, he was extradited to the United States and arrested. In October 2017, Khan was sentenced on a guilty plea to alien smuggling and received a 31-month sentence.
The national policy debates surrounding immigration enforcement, to include abolishing ICE, has somehow bypassed accounting for impacts on the agency's counterterrorism work abroad. Talk about what to do with ICE should include consideration as to who else guys like Khan and Aldairi would be smuggling if the agency disappeared. Or, conversely, with much greater investment in ICE, how many other Khans and Aldairis its agents could put in jail.

OK, Boomers: BLM Is Not Marxist, It's Racist
If we can't even correctly define our enemy, how can we defeat them?
By Jeremy Carl
If you listen carefully to how some conservatives, in particular, conservatives "of a certain age," speak about Black Lives Matter, you'll hear a lot of talk about how BLM is Marxist. At first glance, this is understandable, given that one of the founders of the movement referred to herself and her co-founders as "trained Marxists."
And sure enough, a quick scan of the news will show that Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) referred to the BLM leadership as "trained Marxists," as did Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson.
Radio host Mark Levin called BLM "Marxist and violent surrogates" of the Democratic Party, while former talk show host Neal Boortz said, "Black Lives Matter has been hijacked by Marxist revolutionaries." Rudy Giuliani has called BLM a "Marxist" organization, as has former police chief Bernard Kerik, who referred to BLM as a group that "uses black lives to promote their Marxist and communist agenda."
I don't mean to pick on these individuals in particular; many of them are good patriots and conservatives who have explicitly denounced BLM's racial politics. But at the same time, we must be clear: Marxism doesn't define the Black Lives Matter movement—anti-white racism does.
It is understandable that some conservatives—in particular, older conservatives—are more comfortable speaking the language of anti-Marxism than anti-white racism. Marxism is a traditional enemy for all conservatives, while many conservatives, particularly older ones, have been relentlessly trained by our left-wing media to parrot the canard that any mention of the Left's anti-white racism is a sign of "white identity politics" or even worse, "white nationalism."
But there are two problems with accepting this dubious formulation.
Race, Not Class
First, BLM is fundamentally driven by racism and not Marxism. Second, the structural dynamics of BLM are diametrically opposed to a Marxist analysis of class struggle.
To understand why BLM's racism is a much greater threat to America than its Marxism, we should remember that even among our miseducated American youth, there is precious little desire in the United States for actual Marxism.By a generous count, anything resembling a true Communist Party took far less than 1 percent in the 2016 presidential election.
But while Marxism thankfully still has a very small market share in the United States, anti-white racism unfortunately has a significant and growing one.
Black Lives Matter grew directly out of the dubious prosecution of George Zimmerman who was correctly acquitted by an actual jury that heard the evidence, despite his prior public "conviction" in a fake news media show trial. (In their rush to condemn him and play up the anti-white racial angle, the media also "convicted" Zimmerman of being white despite his being a Hispanic with Afro-Latino heritage.)
Black Lives Matter seeks to create the false impression there is a racist police war against African Americans and to further extend that analysis to a racial slander of white people, assigning them collective guilt they do not deserve. The America of 2020, less than four years removed from having an African American president, is a long way, both chronologically and culturally, from the dark days of slavery and Jim Crow.
If Black America were a country, its per capita purchasing power parity income would rank approximately 30-40th richest in the world, ahead of many "well-off" European countries and far, far ahead of any country in Sub-Saharan Africa. While racism and discrimination certainly continue to exist in America among all races and groups, the America of 2020 is not a land of slavery but a land of limitless opportunity.
That opportunity is precisely why tens of millions have migrated to America, including 10 percent of African Americans, who are immigrants from Africa or other parts of the African Diaspora.
The Left and Black Lives Matter insist that America is a land of unstinting racism, even as tens of millions of immigrants of every background and color desperately have struggled to come here. And America continues to be the No. 1 desired destination for the one-third of Africans who would like to migrate. Indeed, one of the three founders of Black Lives Matter is the daughter of two Nigerian immigrants.
Ginning Up Fake Hate
A symbol of both America's progress and pathology on race is perhaps best demonstrated by the hundreds of fake hate crimes we have seen over the past several years. African American scholar Wilfred Riley has documented hundreds of these incidents over the past decade and determined that more than two out of three were hoaxes. Just this week, a Black Lives Matter leader at Texas A&M was caught faking a hate crime against himself in an incident that went viral before being exposed. In America, the demand for minority-directed racism thankfully continues to exceed the supply.
So while it is not true that America is oppressive to people of color, it is true that our minority population is growing rapidly. America is now just 60 percent white non-Hispanic and a majority of those under the age of 16 are now ethnic minorities.
And while America's white population is wealthier than the black population, Asian-Americans—who constitute a much smaller percentage of the overall population—now earn far more money than whites. The sad and ugly truth that the "BLM is Marxist" crowd ignores is that Black Lives Matter is a movement about dispossession and disinheritance—dispossession of America's cultural heritage through attacks on statues of American heroes such as Washington, Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt, and dispossession of material inheritance through unwarranted demands for financial reparations.
In other words, it's a shakedown operation based in hatred.
This overt call for dispossession and disinheritance makes the rapidly declining white majority uncomfortable—particularly older people who grew up in 1960s and 1970s America where 85 percent or more Americans were white and non-Hispanic. It's much easier for them to talk about "Marxism," than to face reality.
And that reality is that the Black Lives Matter's reparations scam is just an updated version of the old Al Sharpton shakedown operations of the 1980s—but it is now part of a much larger and more powerful coalition that can make more onerous demands without the crudity and overtness that characterized the work of Sharpton or fellow race hustler Jesse Jackson.
An Assault on America's Heritage
We must confront Black Lives Matter and the threat it possesses to America's culture, heritage, and the proposition that all men are created equal unashamedly—we cannot pretend it isn't there by telling fairy tales about Marxists under the bed.
Given the actual nature and goals of BLM, perhaps it is unsurprising that Spiked (a magazine that grew out of Britain's Revolutionary Communist Party, and the bankruptcy of its predecessor magazine, Living Marxism) has been the entity that most clearly has articulated the ways in which BLM is not a Marxist organization.
In an article titled "There's Nothing Marxist about Black Lives Matter," Paddy Hannam notes that actual black Marxists have been marginalized by BLM for suggesting the problems it addresses are about class rather than race.
The constant focus on "white privilege," for instance, has come at the expense of any recognition that lots of poor white people suffer from deprivations, . . . Modern identity politics wrongly views society as a split between a white ruling class and a non-white mass proletariat. It refuses to engage with the reality that Marx identified—that workers can be equally exploited regardless of their origins, and that the key to progressive change lies in building bridges between hitherto distinct communities rather than in setting them apart. In this regard, Black Lives Matter clearly stands in opposition to Marxism.
Correctly calling BLM "more reactionary than revolutionary" Hannam notes that, "We have only to look at how quick multinational corporations have been to endorse the woke worldview to see how utterly un-radical it is."
Black Lives Matter is not, in any meaningful historical sense, a Marxist group, and conservatives need to stop saying that it is. Indeed, it is a movement that is supported overwhelmingly by corporate America, one that just this week announced hundreds of millions of dollars of support from billionaire vulture capitalist George Soros.
It is a group of race-slanderers that seeks to dispossess millions of Americans of all backgrounds who value America's heritage of their history, but is particularly keen to focus on white Americans as targets. It is run by a cynical rainbow coalition of "community activists" and corporate overlords who hope that the tiger they have unleashed eats them last, or even better, that it will be so sated by feeding on the desperation of America's beleaguered middle class that it will not even bother to notice them.
We need to be clear on what Black Lives Matter is if we are going to win in our struggle against the group. They're not Marxists, they're racists.

All women are at risk for ovarian cancer. In fact, nearly 250,000 women are diagnosed with this disease each year, with about 20 percent of cases detected in their early stages. According to the American Cancer Society, about 94 percent of women live longer than five years after diagnosis when ovarian cancer is found at a localized stage (when the cancer is still confined to the ovaries).
Determining the most effective treatment depends on the stage of your cancer.
Your doctors may recommend two or more treatments in succession, or determine that combining treatments could maximize your outcome.
As you work with your cancer care team to make treatment plan decisions, consider taking part in clinical trials. These research studies test new approaches to treatment. Clinical trials are how doctors learn whether a treatment is safe, effective and possibly better than the standard treatment. Clinical trials test new drugs, a new combination of standard treatments or new doses of standard drugs or other treatments.

Multi-instrumentalist, composer/arranger and producer Richard Drexler, an Illinois native, has been based in Florida since 1985 and is now on the road frequently with the Jeff Berlin Trio. A couple of long house pianist stints kept him busy for nine years in the Tampa Bay area, where he performed with many visiting artists. More recently he has done some touring with the Jeff Berlin Trio and with the Woody Herman Orchestra and trombonist John Allred, among others. He has been working as bassist in the Kenny Drew Jr. trio and regularly appearing as a bassist or pianist/vocalist in the jazz clubs of central Florida. Singers he has accompanied include Mel Torme, Tony Bennett, Frankie Laine, Bob Dorough, Mose Allison, Roseanna Vitro, Vic Damone, Al Jarreau, Connie Francis, Dena DeRose and Karrin Allyson.
He has been active in the studios, appearing on dozens of CDs ranging from salsa to avant-garde to country and western to the thrash metal group Saigon Kick. He has assisted guitarist/composer/producer Richie Zellon on much of the Songosaurus label catalog, devoted to jazz fused with South American rhythms.

In the United States, a 2020 presidential campaign completely upset by the health crisis
Donald Trump takes off his mask upon his return from the hospital to the White House on October 5, 2020. He had been hospitalized after contracting Covid-19. NICHOLAS KAMM / AFP
A jostled campaign, truncated nomination conventions, a candidate hospitalized, results unveiled not on the night of the vote but four days later: the 2020 US presidential election was one of the very first major ballots to be overlooked by the waves of Covid-19 and disturbed by their effects.
The virus weighed unevenly on the two main candidates, Donald Trump and Joe Biden. Prisoner of a campaign strategy initially centered on the good economic results recorded before the start of the epidemic in the United States, the outgoing Republican president tried, first of all, to deny its seriousness in order to avoid the yet inevitable shutdown of the country, reviving criticism of its ability to govern.
If he resigned himself at the beginning of the spring to suspend his campaign meetings which had been, in 2016, the main instrument of mobilization of his electorate, Donald Trump very quickly took them back after a bitter fiasco in Tulsa (Oklahoma), in June 2020, where he spoke to a sparse audience as his campaign team announced tens of thousands of worshipers. This insistence was made in defiance of the recommendations of its own health authorities, moreover questioned by a large part of its supporters, even elected Republicans.
Read also Article reserved for our subscribers Presidential election in the United States: the Tulsa fiasco highlights Donald Trump's bad luck
A virtual nomination convention for Biden
During the last weeks of the campaign, he regularly held two meetings a day, without the slightest gauge, or obligation to wear a mask for his followers, including in key states facing a resurgence of the epidemic, such as Wisconsin, in October. And there is also regularly stigmatized the director of the National Institute of Infectious Diseases, Anthony Fauci, yet a pillar of the White House crisis cell formed after the start of the epidemic.
Conversely, Joe Biden set himself the goal during the campaign of strict compliance with federal instructions, in unison with his electorate. First confined to his state of election, Delaware, then sporting the mask that Donald Trump refused, at the same time, to wear in public, at each of his appearances, the Democratic candidate limited his meetings to rally-in, automobile gatherings allowing its supporters to respect the recommended physical distances. His investiture convention was entirely virtual, unlike that of his opponent. The situation created thus masked one of its weaknesses: its least capacity compared to Donald Trump to ignite the crowds.

Scott Herren has never been interested in silence. His work as Prefuse 73 is packed with ideas, overflowing with guest vocalists and innovative electronic techniques. Since leaving Warp Records in 2011 after The Only She Chapters, Herren has begun to pull back the layers, examining the details of what makes his music so enthralling, extracting small pieces from the mix and allowing that minutiae to become the focal point. His latest LP, Sacrifices, is built on this idea, and its songs consist of patient loops, beautiful melodies, and meditative moments of quiet.
The album begins with "New Salad Intro," a song where vocal snippets are screwed and manipulated, cymbals are washed in ambient noise, and buzzing synths never quite bubble above the surface. The song is a multitude of pieces, and a sign of things to come. And while the song never fully coheres beyond this collection of disparate noises, Sacrifices is at its best when otherwise unrelated ideas find harmony amongst each other.
"Late to the Party" pairs a sweetly lilting melody with harsh piano stabs, looping back upon itself again and again. The result is surprisingly peaceful, a subtle consideration of just how many parts are needed to make a whole. "Gravure" opens with ominous tones and grave percussion before diving into Shlohmo-esque synth manipulations. "The World is Bigger" is the album's longest and most boisterous track, yet it doesn't seek out terrain too far past its origin point.
And while Sacrifices may be Prefuse 73's simplest album to date, it's in this stripped-down aesthetic that Herren gets to the heart of what the project is all about. The elements are spread across a canvas for the listener to take in individually, one by one. There's a greater whole that has been sacrificed, but in its stead, Prefuse 73 has found himself anew.

English Language Proficiency Tests and Academic Achievement: A Study on the Malaysian University English Test as a Predictor of Technical Programme Undergraduates Academic Achievement
Nurhazlini Rahmat, Lau Sing Min, Nur Atiqah Md. Sungif, Farah Nabillah Mior Yusup
In the Malaysian education system, English has always played an important role. In acknowledging its importance, Malaysian University English Test (MUET) has been introduced to enable continued emphasis on this role. MUET has been made compulsory for those who wish to pursue a first degree programme in local universities. This study aims to examine the relationship between English language proficiency test (as measured by MUET bands) to predict the undergraduates academic achievement (as measured by Cumulative Grade Point Average score). It also aims to determine the recommended MUET band as an entry requirement for prospective technical programme undergraduates in Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM). The study was carried out among 225 final year undergraduates of five different faculties in UPM, namely Faculty of Engineering, Faculty of Forestry, Faculty of Biotechnology and Biomolecular, Faculty of Food Science and Technology, and Faculty of Veterinary Medicine. The data used were obtained by administering a brief questionnaire and were quantitatively analysed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 19. The study revealed that there is a medium positive correlation between English language proficiency and academic achievement where students who have scored higher bands for MUET are the ones who obtained higher CGPA in their study. Based on the findings, it is recommended that UPM and other local universities make changes towards the minimum MUET entry requirement to help prospective undergraduates excel in their academic study.

Tim Flannery on Sign Stealing In Baseball
Jan 15, 2020 | Scandels |
From Tim Flannery on sign stealing in baseball …. They are fining teams who try to steal signs …hahahaha..got out just in time .
Ok…I feel a need to speak out, normal is changing, and today's norm is not the norm.
For 26 years I was in the big leagues , 10 as a player, 16 as a 3rd base coach , 20 if you count the other years learning the craft in the minor leagues , from Boise , to Wichita. The seriousness of the writer, the expertise from the front office man, the commissioner, to those who have never lived it. Here it is…I have 25 World Series games under my belt, 7 elimination games, and a 7th game of a World Series. 5 World Series ,3 World Championships I know it don't mean much to those in front of a computer, with the answers and all the rules. So I'm gonna make a long story short. I had a video camera on every 3rd base coach every single night, I spent hours logging tapes trying to steal your signs and finding a way to beat you. You as well did it, in New York I knew the Valentine Mets did it, I knew the Cubs did it, I knew the Dbacks, St. Louis did it, I caught them, that's when the fun begins , you fuck em up by changing signs, you tell the boys " if I put a hit and run on first pitch don't do anything, they will pitch out and now they don't have the signs, and you're in a hitters count" the list goes on and on
…..if you aren't smart enough ( and believe me this isn't rocket science, it's being somewhat aware) it's your fault, now the game is turned into no breaking up double plays , don't slide hard at home, don't block the plate.if you are not creative enough to derail them, you've stopped thinking. As far as some of the greatest baseball writers who I love, read and listen to, and hang with. You are so off on the sign stuff. It's a high stakes poker game, big money especially as coaches . If you get caught , if your signs are stolen and you don't know in the moment they are close, they are on you
…your not thinking, and now because of that the commissioner comes in not understanding, the writers write stealing signs is wrong. We had an advance scout that could watch your 3rd base coach for 3 days and be real close to getting his signs. He would send his report and I would watch you, or have a camera on you, if you haven't played , you don't understand how important this part of the game should be. You don't understand I would not only try and steal your hit and run sign, I would put our hit and run on that my guys knew, then in the same sequence put the other teams hit and run on so when they look at their cameras that we all used to steal the signs they would see and in their minds " shit they have the same sign for hit and run we have". It's propaganda war fare, its trying to beat you……so why you claim people aren't watching baseball because it takes to long, I say your taking the smarts out of it.
…I tried every night for 16 years to steal your signs either writing every thing you did down, or by looking at tapes because I had a camera on you, just like you had on me. Please leave the game alone, and every writer who wrote articles on this..be in church Sunday,because I know for a fact everyone of you looked at body language , vibe, and found a way to snake another writer to get the feature, get the win., leaving it with no creativity, no thinking, and the dumbing down of the greatest game ever……not that I know anything about it….Peace Tim Flannery.

Sultan's Pool & Hassenfeld Amphitheater
The Sultan's Pool Amphitheater is one of Jerusalem's most spectacular sites, set against the backdrop of the Old City walls. An ancient water source modernized by the Ottoman sultan Suleiman the Magnificent and turned into an open-air music venue in 1978. It has since become one of Israel's most prestigious locations for music, dance, opera, and festivals, actively contributing to the city's vibrant cultural scene. Performances by national and international artists included Eyal Golan, Sting, and Bob Dylan. This spectacular site is a 2030 priority of the Jerusalem Foundation for creative culture, as it enhances the city's vibrancy and openness, making it a source of inspiration around the world.
To fully tap the potential of the Sultan's Pool area, the Jerusalem Foundation, in partnership with other organizations, developed an ambitious renovation plan to make this space fully useful and accessible to the public every day. The project objectives are to upgrade the amphitheater into a structure that seats 7,000 people, with 4,200 permanent seats and 2,800 additional chairs, and to turn the surrounding area into a park open to residents and visitors. The project features a café and a garden area next to Sultan's Pool. The renovation will benefit all Jerusalem residents with no distinction as to social or religious background, as well as the many visitors from Israel and abroad.
Impact: The area will become more accessible to Jerusalem's population and visitors alike, both as a venue for cultural events and as a destination.

One is forced to wonder at times if Ebenezer Baptist Church pastor Tim Rogers constantly lies because he is evil to the core. Or is it because he is mentally deficient?
The problem exists that we are now partnering with other church planting networks and no one I can find has any idea what those guidelines are that we operate within.
Let me make this as clear as I know how. NAMB is an autonomous entity and they constantly scream that we need to trust them in their appointments and those that are funded. I say, fine I want to trust you. However, with the trustees recently removing the 2006 Presidential restrictions and now announcing "guidelines for NAMB church planters in relationship with other church planting networks" without producing such guidelines it seems something is not above board. If we are asked to trust someone then that someone should produce the openness and transparency needed for us to support.
If pastor Tim Rogers wants to talk about problems he should find the nearest mirror and start yelling.
The North American Mission Board encourages church plants to partner with their association, state convention, NAMB and the IMB. NAMB also affirms that some churches engage with other networks for mission and evangelism purposes in accordance with article 14 "Cooperation" of the Baptist Faith and Message.
NAMB does not affirm or partner with individual networks, but partners with Baptist Faith and Message affirming churches and planters.
That's it. NAMB does not partner with individual networks. End of story.
And here is the crux of the matter: While pastor Tim Rogers of Ebenezer Baptist Church claims "we are now partnering with other church planting networks" it is not true. That's what this "Network Guidelines" documents addresses. Further, Rogers links to Thornton's blog article at the end of his own ramblings. That's right. Rogers questions the existence of said guidelines while guiding his reader to the very guidelines themselves.
This guy is an unrepentant liar or a nut, take your pick.
If any reader of this blog knows anyone in his church, you should point them this way. Perhaps the local newspaper's church news reporter would have an interest in a lying preacher.

The ceremony took place at the conference room of the Vice President's Office, Tower Hill in Freetown.
The aim of the project is to mitigate local conflicts between communities, government and private companies by building the capacities of institutions and dialogue platforms that promote peaceful relations as well as the inclusion of women and youths.
Mrs. Francess Alhgalie commended the UN Secretary General's Peacebuilding Fund for supporting the country since the end of the civil war and informed that the project has supported the justice sector, the police, the Political Parties Registration Commission and the Human Rights Commission among others all aimed at strengthening peace and cohesion in the country.
She continued that large-scale acquisition of land for mining and agriculture is a topical issue and assured that the project would address some of these lapses like the lack of inclusive dialogue, weak policies, accountability and transparency for sustainable peace intimating that the Office of the Vice President was tasked to address post-election issues and reiterated that the project would mitigate conflicts as well as strengthen existing regulations.
The total budget of the project is $3,000,000 (WFP$1,664,000, UNDP $1,336,000) for two years and the contribution will be used through the following interventions: support will be provided to affected communities to strengthen agriculture and alternative livelihood sources including agricultural asset creation activities that empower women and youths with inputs and skills, and gender transformative technical and vocational training to enable local women and youths to benefit from company employment opportunities.
Furthermore, the project will build the capacity of local institutions, provide support to the government of Sierra Leone to strengthen policy frameworks, coordination and reporting on the Sierra Leone Extractive Industry Transparency Initiative (SLEITI) and the Voluntary Guidelines on the Responsible Governance of Tenure of Land, Fisheries and Forestry (VGGT) for enhanced community and businesses partnerships.
Also, the professionalism and integrity of the security sector will be enhanced through trainings in conflict mediation, human rights and sexual and gender-based violence in addition to strengthening police and community partnerships.
The capacity of targeted private sector company staff in human rights and gender approaches and livelihood programming will be enhanced.
This will be achieved by strengthening the existing regulatory framework on land acquisition and operationalizing this through the strengthening of national, district, chiefdom and community-level mediation and dialogue infrastructure.
The WFP Country Director in Sierra Leone, Mr. Housainou Tall disclosed that the community-driven project was developed in collaboration with the Office of the Vice President and affirmed that it is linked to government's National Development Plan involving women and youths' livelihood support based on a vulnerability criteria, access to land and would promote peace and harmony among communities.
He furthered that the design of the project is evidence-based, prioritizes gender, infrastructure, community-based resilience and building on the experience from UNDP and WFP asserting that tangible progress has been made in Pujehun with real experience on the ground and quoted the 2015 baseline survey as stating that the district is food insecure that would improve by the end of the project in four chiefdoms in two districts.
Similar statements were made by the UNDP Resident Coordinator, Sunil Segall and the UNDP Resident Representative, Dr. Samuel Doe all of whom underscored the importance of the project as part of the United Nations Secretary General's Peacebuilding Project for Sierra Leone.
Highlight of the event was the PowerPoint presentation of the overview of the project by the WFP Country Director, Mr. Housainou Tall- the lead implementing agency for the project.

The difficult life of legendary French singer Edith Piaf is brought to light. We first see Edith as a young girl who is adopted by the women of a brothel, one of the only truly happy periods of her life. By the time she is a young adult, her musical talent is discovered and she begins to perform publicly, but the life of a singer comes with many trials. Her life is presented in a non-linear fashion as she recalls its highlights as a dying woman. One of her most famous songs proclaims her lack of regret, but hers has been a hard life marked by alcoholism, painful relationships and outright tragedy. Nonetheless, she carved out a niche for herself and will always be remembered.
