Al-Qaeda threatens jihad attacks on “vulnerable”
US rail system: “It’s time we instill fear”
by Christine Douglass-Williams
{jihadwatch.org} ~ Al-Qaeda is renewing calls for jihad violence against America: O Mujahideen, it is time that we instill fear and make them impose strict security measures to trains as they did with their Air transportation... Continue to bleed the American economy to more losses, increase the psychological warfare and make it worry, fear and weaken much more. Maybe if we close our eyes and hold hands together in multicultural unity, we can just wish away the jihad threat to Western citizens and to Western civilization. As if the declaration of holy war against the West and repeated calls by the Islamic State were not bad enough, now al Qaeda has renewed its Islamic calls to “cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve” (Quran 8:12)... https://www.jihadwatch.org/2017/08/al-qaeda-threatens-jihad-attacks-on-vulnerable-us-rail-system-its-time-we-instill-fear.
North Korea’s Head of Intelligence
and Cyber-Warfare Welcomed In Cuba
by Humberto Fontova
{frontpagemag.com} ~ "Cuba is resolutely opposing the U.S. sanctions and pressure against North Korea and expressing full support for the just steps of North Korea in bolstering up defense capabilities including ICBM test-fires…we express our deep thanks to the Korean people who are sending solidarity to the Cuban people's just cause." That was Ulises Rosales Del Toro, Stalinist Cuba’s “Vice President of the Council of Ministers” (i.e. eunuch apparatchik) conveying his master’s Raul Castro’s support to Kim Yong Nam, Stalinist North Korea's "President of the Presidium of the Supreme People's Assembly," another eunuch apparatchik. The shout-out between these Stalinist eunuchs took place last week in Teheran during Iran’s “Presidential Inauguration ceremonies,” (pow-wow among terrorists/murderers/ burglars) which also included Zimbabwe’s “President” (witch-doctor/dictator) Robert Mugabe... http://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/267591/north-koreas-head-intelligence-and-cyber-warfare-humberto-fontova

{townhall.com} ~ Liberal business executives are leaping like lemmings from President Donald Trump's manufacturing advisory council. Good riddance.
These silly string-spined CEOs have sided with social justice agitators, Beltway media enablers and Democratic resistance knuckleheads who believe Trump was wrong to condemn violence and hatred on all sides of the political spectrum. Never mind that of the four people arrested after the violent outbreak in Charlottesville, Virginia, this weekend, two were identified with the white nationalist movement and the other two were left-wing "antifa" counterprotesters.
One of those radical leftists is the man identified as having reportedly punched a female reporter for the D.C.-based newspaper, The Hill. But since that doesn't fit the national media narrative of journalists allegedly being victimized by right-wing incitements to violence, mum's the word from corporate media executives and the rest of the preening CEOs.
Merck CEO Kenneth C. Frazier claimed he stepped down from the Trump business panel because he felt "a responsibility to take a stand against intolerance and extremism." But Frazier, who served on President liar-nObama's Export Council, felt no equivalent responsibility to take a stand against intolerance and extremism when the White House invited leaders from the violence-inciting Black Lives Matter movement for a forum on policing in July 2016.
The invitation was a grievous affront to law enforcement officers and their families across the country outraged at the deadly ambushes committed against cops in Dallas and Baton Rouge that summer, along with several other forgotten cop-killings fueled by BLM-linked hate and vengeance. Who remembers the slaying of Kentucky state trooper Joseph Ponder by BLM marcher and "Hands up, don't shoot" slogan-spreader Joseph Thomas Johnson-Shanks in September 2015? At least 11 police have been shot dead and at least nine more wounded by BLM protesters, activists and/or supporters to date.
One of the surviving policemen in the Baton Rouge massacre filed suit last month against BLM and laid out the case against its leaders, who "not only, incited the violence against police in retaliation for the death of black men shot by police, but also did nothing to dissuade the ongoing violence and injury to police. In fact, they justified the violence as necessary to the movement and war."
The permanently disabled cop's lawsuit recounts escalating riots, arson and plundering after the police-involved deaths of Michael Brown and Freddie Gray in Ferguson, Missouri, through the ambushes in Dallas and Baton Rouge, and leading up to the liar-nObama administration's embrace of BLM's leaders. After the meeting, BLM leader DeRay McKesson responded to questions about his movement's culpability for inciting violence by asserting that his "people take to the streets as a last resort. ... So when I think about anything that happens when people are in the street, I always start by saying, 'People should not have had to have been there in the first place.'"
As the lawyers for the Baton Rouge cop, who must remain anonymous to protect his family, properly concluded: "These statements were a ratification and justification of the violence."
But instead of recriminations, the militants of BLM enjoy continued praise and coddling from corporate America. Tech execs from Netflix, YouTube and Google all donated to McKesson's failed mayoral bid in Baltimore. Business execs have been coughing up untold hundreds of millions of dollars to BLM and related causes, funneled through left-wing nonprofits such as the Ford Foundation and Borealis Philanthropy.
On Tuesday, Walmart executive Doug McMillon wagged his finger at Trump, urging "elected officials to do their part to promote a more just, tolerant and diverse society."
This from the head of a retail giant that only recently stopped selling racially divisive, anti-cop taunting, violence-glamorizing T-shirts that bragged: "Bulletproof: Black Lives Matter."
And the disavowal double standards beat goes on.
