Osama bin Laden's niece says only Trump can prevent another 9/11

Another 9/11-style attack may be just around the corner if Joe Biden is elected president, warns Noor bin Ladin, the niece of Sept. 11 terror mastermind Osama bin Laden.

"ISIS proliferated under the Obama/Biden administration, leading to them coming to Europe. Trump has shown he protects America and us by extension from foreign threats by obliterating terrorists at the root and before they get a chance to strike," bin Ladin, 33, told The Post in her first-ever interview.

Bin Ladin (whose branch of the family has always spelled their name differently than her infamous uncle) lives in Switzerland but said she considers herself "an American at heart." A full size US flag hung in her childhood room at age 12 and her dream vacation is an RV trip across America.

The stunning, Swiss-born bin Ladin says she is all in for Trump in 2020, calling the election the most important in a generation.

"I have been a supporter of President Trump since he announced he was running in the early days in 2015. I have watched from afar and I admire this man's resolve," she said. "He must be reelected ... It's vital for the future of not only America, but western civilization as a whole."

"You look at all the terrorist attacks that have happened in Europe over the past 19 years. They have completely shaken us to the core ... [Radical Islam] has completely infiltrated our society," bin Ladin continued. "In the US it's very worrying that the left has aligned itself completely with the people who share that ideology."

New drone footage captured by RT's video agency Ruptly reveals the devastation at ground zero in Beirut's port in detail, one month after the massive explosion which shook the Lebanese capital.

The video shows the port, where the now-infamous warehouse full of improperly stored explosives used to sit. The whole area was essentially flattened by the blast. No building was left standing, apart from massive grain silos that managed to withstand the explosion and even shielded part of the city.

Social media giants ban users for expressing their views, but they're totally OK with people smugglers using their platforms

Facebook, YouTube and other companies seem so desperate to appear pro-refugee that they're allowing those who exploit them to use their platforms to facilitate illegal migration. This is both misguided and dangerous.

Social media companies are failing to censor, suspend, or ban hundreds of accounts that are linked to people trafficking.

According to Britain's National Crime Agency (NCA) nearly 500 of the more than 1,200 accounts they reported to Facebook, YouTube, and other sites because they were found to be aiding illegal migration are still up and running. The NCA's director of threat leadership, Rob Jones, recently told MPs, "We were very certain when we made these referrals that there was a problem with those accounts. To see that level of attrition, with not all those accounts being closed, is challenging for us."

He added that people smuggling into Britain was "flourishing," thanks to Silicon Valley companies' encrypted services providing a "really good, dynamic, agile way for people to move migrants between them, and for groups to communicate." These revelations come following a record-breaking day for English Channel crossings, which saw 409 people enter Britain illegally via small boats launched from France.

Put simply, people smuggling is a very real and serious problem, illegal under both national and international law, and serves only to enrich vile and violent criminal gangs with tentacles reaching right across the globe. Moreover, it's exploitative and immoral. Why would Silicon Valley want to play a part in enabling this despicable trade to continue?

Police forces across the country are dealing with thousands of potential violations of quarantine rules involving holidaymakers who may not be self-isolating after trips abroad, the Guardian can reveal.

The requests for "further action" have been raised by Border Force officials and public health authorities, who have been tasked with ensuring that people returning from abroad are abiding by regulations designed to stop the spread of the coronavirus.


Comment: The Border Force have actual problems to deal with: 409 migrants reach England's shores in a single day, breaking record set just last month


The details emerged as leading scientists warned that the UK is fast approaching a pivotal moment. With another surge in the number of positive cases recorded on Friday, they urged people to keep following the rules or risk the return of widespread lockdown across the UK.


Comment: Positive cases that are mostly asymptomatic and will likely confer immunity.


Comment: The unjustified encroachment of the authorities into our lives is increasing by the day and it's no wonder that people around the planet are beginning to speak out:

birmingham stabbings
Police have declared a major incident in Birmingham city centre after officers were called to reports of multiple stabbings.

West Midlands Police say officers were called to reports of a stabbing in the city centre at 12:30am on Sunday.

In a statement, the force said: "We immediately attended, along with colleagues from the ambulance service.

"A number of other stabbings were reported in the area shortly after.

"We are aware of a number of injured people, but at the moment we are not in a position to say how many or how serious.


Comment: This has since been updated: 1 man has died from his wounds, 7 others were injured.


"However, all emergency services are working together at the scene, and making sure that those who are injured receive medical care.

Comment: Police today made a show of apprehending a suspect...

...but have since ruled him/her out as a suspect in the stabbings.

Local authorities seem very reluctant to provide information about what happened...

'The notion that US debt can ever be paid back is ridiculous', analyst says

money dollars
In June, US Department of the Treasury data revealed that America's national debt had exceeded $26 trillion for the first time in the nation's history, as the country continues to grapple with the economic fallout from the novel coronavirus pandemic.

The Wall Street Journal has cited the US Congressional Budget Office (CBO) as saying that the country's federal debt has already reached its highest level since World War II and is currently equal to the size of the nation's economy.

CBO suggested that the debt may exceed 100 percent of US gross domestic product (GDP) in the next fiscal year which kicks off on 1 October, due to a hefty financial response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Joseph Gagnon, a senior fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics and a former visiting associate director of the Division of Monetary Affairs at the US Federal Reserve Board, said that the pandemic has led to a situation when "there is a large increase in government debt in most countries this year".

"Tax revenues fall as businesses close or shrink and the government spends more to subsidise workers and firms. In the US, the Trump tax cut of 2018 already increased the deficit somewhat before the pandemic struck", Gagnon noted.

Michael Reinoehl appeared to target Trump supporter before fatal shooting in Portland, police say

Michael Forest Reinoehl, a self-described anti-fascist who said he provided security for Portland racial justice protests, appears to have targeted a participant in a pro-Trump rally, emerging from an alcove of a parking garage before firing two gunshots, one that hit the man's bear spray can and the other that proved fatal, according to a police affidavit unsealed Friday.

Police found a single Winchester .380-caliber bullet casing on the street, a metal canister of "Bear Attack Detector" that had a "large defect" in it and a collapsible metal baton just north of Aaron "Jay" Danielson's body, a detective said in the affidavit.

Danielson, 39, was pronounced dead at 8:55 p.m. last Saturday on Southwest Third Avenue, about 10 minutes after the shooting was reported. He died from a single bullet to the upper right chest, an autopsy found. The bullet was found lodged in his back.

Best of the Web: Melbourne police force protesters to wear muzzles before arresting at 'Freedom Day' rally against fascist lockdown

Dozens of arrests have been reported amid a heated anti-lockdown protest in Melbourne, Australia, where hundreds gathered to demand an end to Covid-19 measures, meeting a heavy police presence and at times clashing with officers.

A sizable crowd descended on Melbourne's Shrine of Remembrance on Saturday morning for the 'Freedom Day' rally, calling on state authorities to rescind Victoria's stage-four coronavirus restrictions, which include a nightly curfew.

Chants of "scam!" erupted from the crowd at certain points, apparently led by an elderly man, who was also heard saying: "I can't believe this is my country! This is my Australia. I was born and bred here - for 82 years!"

Comment: That's a more sanitized account of what went down at the protest. The police in fact forcibly 'masked' anyone not wearing a muzzle, before arresting every one of them.



Melbourne police are also entering homes to make arrests of people who 'made anti-Covid social media posts':

Australian authorities also appear to be advertizing for 'Covid-19 actors', presumably for the purpose of creating 'realistic scenes' of people in various stages of 'suffering from the Covid'.

It's all 'plausibly justified' by the policy position of the Australian govt: they've stated they intend to 'wage war on the virus'. Literally ANY expression of 'the virus' found anywhere is to be eliminated - a scientific impossibility.

In reality of course it's simply 'taking control for the sake of taking control'. Australia may just be a grim glimpse into what authorities are hoping to implement globally:

What a fine man! Italian mayor suggests imposing penalties for WEARING a face mask when 'unnecessary'

These days, going out without wearing a face mask is considered poor form - and, in some places, an offense. But the mayor of an Italian town says fines should be slapped on those wearing a mask in an "inappropriate" situation.

In the same way global health authorities insist masks contain the spread of coronavirus, Vittorio Sgarbi, the mayor of Sutri, is confident his unorthodox initiative will help stem the spread of "pandemic-related hysteria," as he put it, according to the TASS news agency.


Comment: Those pushing mandatory mask wearing are doing so for reasons other than health, because the idea that masks provide protection from viruses has been well and truly debunked by now.


The lingering Covid-19 pandemic has so far infected close to 275,000 people in Italy and killed more than 35,500 - almost seven times the entire population of Sutri. Yet, for Sgarbi, mandatory mask-wearing should have its limits, particularly when public safety is at stake.


Comment: The numbers show that it is the lockdown that killed, and continues to kill, many times more people than the virus.
