Imperial Good News: Ibrahim al-Asiri is Dead Jim!

al Qaeda's top bomb-maker, Ibrahim Hassan al-Asiri DRONED!

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday confirmed that al Qaeda's top bomb-maker, Ibrahim Hassan al-Asiri, believed to be the mastermind behind the failed bombing of a U.S.-bound airliner in 2009, has been killed.

Trump said in a White House statement that al-Asiri was killed in 2017 in a United States counter-terrorism operation in Yemen. U.S. officials said last year they were confident al-Asiri had been killed but others had said at the time that the evidence was not conclusive. Washington had long sought al-Asiri, a Saudi-born militant with al Qaeda's Yemen branch who was known for his ability to create hard-to-detect bombs, including some implanted in suicide bombers.

Now is the time we Jawas dance!

The state has seized businesses and assets associated with the group, and its organisational structures have been shattered.  Founded in Egypt in 1928, the Brotherhood has, throughout its existence, faced hostility from autocrats fearing that its organisational strength and appeal among conservative Muslims made it the gravest threat to their rule.  ...“If you sit with any Muslim Brotherhood [member] now they are trying to find a way out; millions of questions but no answers about the theory of political Islam itself,”

That's so awesome! Lets party!

Welcome to Queensistan

Queens, the Somalia of NYC:

Once upon a time, Queens was the home of working-class New Yorkers. These days it’s the home of a growing number of Islamic terrorists. The Pakistani terrorist’s mother showed up to support him in court wearing a full black burka. Cameras caught other members of the clan covering their faces with hijabs. Burkas and hijabs are a common sight in Queens. As are mosques and FBI raids on terror homes. The terrorist’s family had a choice between the Al Madni mosque, the Nuriddin mosque, the Al-Falah mosque, the Khazara mosque, the Islamic Center of Jackson Heights, the Dar-ul Furqan mosque and many others not far from LaGuardia. And the terrorists have an even wider choice of kafir targets. Earlier this year, Ashiqul Alam, a 22-year-old Bangladeshi Muslim immigrant, was arrested in a Queens apartment for plotting a bombing of Times Square. Alam had been interested in getting a suicide bomber vest and seeing the “flag of Islam” flying from “the Empire State Building.”

These aren't the domestic terrorists we're looking for. Move along. Move along.

WTF is Bilal Ahmad: Higher Education Edition

Checking in on Bilal we find he had to drop out of college:

Many aspirants who returned to the Valley recounted how they spent the past few weeks in Delhi with no contact with their families. Bilal Ahmad, a resident of Baramulla, said that every day he would go through multiple news websites and papers to try and determine the situation in the Valley. “It was a daily ritual even before I had my breakfast,” Bilal said, adding that in the first two weeks itself very few ground reports were coming out of Kashmir, which left him perturbed. He finally returned home on August 27. Zakir Ahmad, a resident of Kulgam who had been preparing for the coveted service for the past eight months in Delhi, said that he was unable to to focus on his studies due to the situation. “I did not go to the library for many days. My eyes were glued to television screen all the time, and I kept flipping through various news channels,” he said. Zakir also returned to the Valley after waiting for more than a month for the communication blackout to be lifted.

On the bright side that leaves more time to smoke Kush.

African Taliban Still Promotes Splodeydopes

al-Shabaab releases new Jihadi Porn Videos.

They listed the names of officials killed in the attacks, including close friends whom I wept for as I heard their names. Al-Shabaab has two objectives for releasing the two high quality videos: To justify attacks on hotels and also the countless innocent civilians who usually perish in these attacks, as well in other Al-Shabaab operations. They argue that, since the Somali government is an “apostate” administration, that the life of everyone working with it is forfeit. They claim that the reason they are killing us and themselves, is only to save us all in this life and in the hereafter. They alone are the arbitrators of this one-sided debate, and they vindicate themselves and give themselves high ground. Worse yet, the scholars they reference are Al-Shabaab members, among whom I recognized are Ahmed Godane and Mahad Karate, and foreign Al-Qaeda members such as Abu Yahya al-Libi and Ayman al- Zawahiri. They attempt to explain the deaths of civilians in their everyday attacks and explosions, saying that those civilians committed no crimes, but are only killed for their own good. They say, “Planned attacks and explosions targeting the government cannot be aborted simply because civilians might die. They will be killed not because they committed crimes, but because they live amongst criminals.” The second objective is to create fear

The second objective is terrorism.

Moisture Farm Bureau PSA: SMOD Mushrooms and You

Some people are planning to survive SMOD using mushrooms.

The mushroom cultivation solution in Walsh's book comes from David Denkenberger, a civil engineer who suggested it in a 2014 book about post-apocalyptic agriculture, called "Feeding Everyone No Matter What."

"Maybe when humans go extinct the world will be ruled by fungi again," Denkenberger told Walsh. "Why don't we just eat the mushrooms and not go extinct?"

But won't that just negate the relief that SMOD promised?

Taliban Shadow Governors Neutralized

Is anyone home?

The operations, launched on Saturday night, were aimed at foiling attacks planned by the Taliban on Afghan forces, said a senior security official in the capital Kabul, adding that clashes have escalated following the collapse of diplomatic talks between the United States and the Taliban. The defence ministry in a statement said at least 85 Taliban fighters were killed in a joint ground and air operation in southern Paktika province on Saturday night. The figure was rejected by the Taliban, who said seven fighters had been killed and 11 wounded while casualties among the security forces were over 20. "The rest of the claims are baseless," the movement's spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said.

First of all Zabihullah Mujahid is a total lying Pos propagandist for the Taliban.

After I shared a video which is showing the Taliban fighters are beating an old man in northern Afghanistan, Zabihullah Mujahid the Taliban spokesman blocked me on Twitter. pic.twitter.com/AVMo93frLF
