Sheikh Senussi al-Haleeq, the deputy chairman of the Supreme Council of Libyan Sheikhs and Elders, told Sputnik in an interview that a great number of tribal young men were ready to engage in fighting if Turkey took over oil fields, controlled by the tribes:

"We have a formidable number of young men ready to fight in the case of Turkish occupation of our lands. If they go for the oil fields, I assure you that they will head to training camps and we will wage a war on the oil fields. This is not a [preferred scenario] because I do not wish for the fields to be involved in political divisions or to drag the oil sector into the war because that will be harmful to the Libyans and to those who are our allies among the Europeans and Americans."

Sheikh Senussi al-Haleeq confirmed that Libya was in talks with Egypt regarding the possibility for Cairo to train and arm Libyan tribes to repel Turkey's attacks. No final agreement has been reached yet, but if any training takes place, it will certainly happen in Libya, the official specified.

International Court of Justice: Iran to sue US for sanctioning it during Covid-19 pandemic

Iran intends to sue the US at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), saying Washington's sanctions have damaged Tehran's ability to fight the Covid-19 pandemic. The intention to initiate litigation was announced by the country's Vice-President for Legal Affairs Laya Joneydi during a visit to the Pasteur Institute of Iran, which plays a leading role in dealing with the deadly coronavirus.

The ICJ is one of the principle bodies in the United Nations' system for handling disputes between UN members. Washington refuses to acknowledge its jurisdiction in full since The Hague-based body ordered the US to pay compensation to Nicaragua for waging an undeclared war against the Sandinista government in the 1980s.

The court is already reviewing a lawsuit filed by Iran over sanctions imposed by the Donald Trump administration. In 2018, it ordered the US to lift restrictive measures linked to humanitarian trade, food, medicine and civil aviation. Washington ignored the order and instead scrapped a treaty with Iran, which served as the basis for the Iranian legal case.

2009 Epstein case: Prosecutor said Trump was the only one who helped him

An attorney who represented the victims of billionaire Jeffrey Epstein's sexual assault said that in 2009, the only person that helped him was then citizen Donald Trump.

Prosecuting attorney Bradley Edwards was interviewed in December 2018 in Palm Beach, Florida shortly after settling a court case he had with billionaire Jeffrey Epstein.

After the settlement was announced, attorney Edwards was interviewed outside the courthouse. He shared much about the case and then answered the interviewer's question about whether Donald Trump was somehow related to the case since Epstein was a reportedly a friend of Trump (at the 5:00 mark - emphasis added) -

The Palm Beach Daily News reported at that time -

UN calls for 'global ceasefire to combat Covid-19'

Kumbaya and pass the bubbly! World peace has been achieved!

What, haven't you heard? The UN Security Council just passed a resolution that calls for a global ceasefire as a type of "humanitarian pause" while the world deals with the coronavirus pandemic that (we are told) is wreaking such havoc on the human population.

Or, as the UN puts it:

The Security Council on Wednesday echoed the Secretary-General's call for a worldwide ceasefire, to combat the coronavirus pandemic that has already claimed more than half a million lives. The UN chief welcomed the long-awaited move, calling for countries to "redouble their efforts for peace".

This tells us three things:

Our noble leaders love us and care for us and want to protect us during this time of crisis.
The pandemic must be real and it must be supremely grave, because why else would the Security Council be acting like this?
We can expect the next 90 days to be a heaven on earth where the nations of the world lay down their arms and live in peace and harmony.

Right?

Well, not exactly. You see, the resolution asks member nations to cease all of their military operations except "military operations against Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL/Da'esh), Al-Qaida and Al-Nusra Front, and all other individuals, groups, undertakings and entities associated with Al-Qaida or ISIL, and other Council-designated terrorist groups." But other than that wee little asterisk, that's it. War is done-zo! . . . For three months, anyway.

So, wait, why did the Saudis just launch a fresh military campaign against the Yemenis? Didn't they get the memo? What on earth is going on here?

Lock-step mainstream media is portraying Russia as evil to trigger fear, but no, they are NOT rehabilitating Stalin

Western media's misleading claim that Russia is glorifying Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin serves an obvious purpose: to prompt urgent calls from its readers for foreign intervention.

Russia is not rehabilitating Stalin. However, Western commentators who purport to be so concerned about this unlikely prospect would do well to wonder about the wisdom of policies toward Russia that cause ordinary Russians to look back with admiration on a leader who, whatever his crimes, protected them from foreign aggressors.

The echo chamber of contemporary Western commentary on Russia has long resounded with the claim that Russia is in the process of such a rehabilitation. Such claims long pre-date President Putin's recent National Interest article, which defended the Molotov-Ribbentrop non-aggression pact as Stalin's reasonable response to the Western powers' appeasement policy toward Nazi Germany.

Palestine: Abbas adviser warns of third intifada if Israel goes ahead with annexation

Nabil Shaath says he expects the potential uprising to be funded by the Arab world, adds that the West Bank and Gaza would 'combine forces'

An adviser to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas warned Saturday there was a possibility of a third intifada if the Israeli government goes ahead with its plan to annex parts of the West Bank.

The Kan public broadcaster reported that Nabil Shaath told the Arabic-language arm of the France 24 network that Palestinian rivals Fatah and Hamas are in agreement that there should be a popular uprising if the controversial plan goes ahead.

"When things flare up and it becomes a fully-fledged intifada, we will see a combination of forces between Gaza and the West Bank," Shaath said.

Is America heading for civil war? Of course it is...

In last week's article I discussed the issue of American "balkanization" and the rapid migration of conservatives and moderates from large population centers and states that are becoming militant in their progressive ideology. In my home state of Montana there has been a surge of people trying to escape the chaos and oppression of leftist states. Some are here because of the pandemic and the harsh restrictions they had to endure during the first lockdowns. Others are here because they can't stand the hostility of identity politics, cancel culture and race riots. Either way, they are fleeing places with decidedly leftist influences.

Uprooting and moving to an entirely new place is not an easy thing to do, especially in the middle of a pandemic. For many people, such an idea would have been unthinkable only a few years ago. Believe me, moving to a place like the Rocky Mountain Redoubt is not an easy transition for most. Hopefully these people understand that they will have to make extensive preparations for the rough winter and be ready to work hard in the spring and summer months to survive. Maybe they don't realize yet how tough it is here; maybe they know and don't care.

That's how bad the situation has become - Rational and reasonable people are willing to leave behind their old life and risk it all to keep a margin of freedom.

Hillary Clinton says she would beat Trump if she were on 2020 ballot

During an interview on the "Awards Chatter" podcast, former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton talked about her documentary series "Hillary," which the Critics' Choice Real TV Awards named as the year's best limited documentary series back in March, according to The Hollywood Reporter. But when the podcast host asked Clinton whether she would win in a rematch election against President Donald Trump, she didn't hesitate to offer her thoughts.

"Yes. But I think people believe that this is a referendum on him," said Clinton, who lost the 2016 election by 70 electoral college votes.

"You know, when he ran before, people who knew him mostly knew him from reality TV. He'd been in their living rooms, and he was a businessman, and he looked like a billionaire, and he rode around in his big plane and all of that," she said. "So they kinda thought, 'Well, hey, you know, give the guy a chance. Let's see what he can do.' And now everybody, I think, knows what the consequences of that have been."

Comment: It's interesting that this narrative of Trump refusing to leave the White House in the event of him losing the election is coming from multiple sources at the moment. It's almost as if it's a coordinated talking point designed to really drive home the point that he's a 'dictator'.

Revealed: Hundreds of Saudi and Gulf military personnel trained in Britain as war on Yemen continues

Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman with Boris Johnson when he was British foreign secretary in 2018.

New data shows Britain's Royal Air Force trained Saudi personnel in 2019 on fighter jets used to bomb civilians in Yemen - a country on the brink of famine - while UK soldiers coached other forces in the Saudi-led coalition at nearly a dozen army bases in Britain.

Hundreds of Saudi military personnel received training at Royal Air Force (RAF) bases in the UK in 2019 - the same year a court banned new exports of British-made weapons to Saudi Arabia over human rights concerns in the Yemen war.

Data obtained by Declassified UK from the Ministry of Defence (MOD) shows that 310 Saudis trained at six RAF sites in England and Wales last year. Some training for Saudi pilots is still under way, with courses lasting up to four years.

Britain's anti-Russia plotter-in-chief Sir Mark Sedwell sacked, next up at the House of Lords

The plot to rid the British Government of the man who combined more domestic and foreign policy-making powers than any British official in peacetime was not a clandestine Kremlin operation directed by President Vladimir Putin.

But the sacking of Sir Mark Sedwill, the grammar school head-boy who became Cabinet Secretary and National Security Advisor under Prime Minister Theresa May in 2018, removes the plotter-in-chief of the Skripal affair, the Novichok plot, and the campaign of British info-warfare against Moscow over the past two years.

The man who defeated Sedwill, Dominic Cummings, chief adviser of Prime Minister Boris Johnson, is the only official in the prime ministry to have operated under cover in Russia. What Cummings' cover was has never been publicly revealed from his counter-intelligence vetting. The rise of Cummings has also not been reported by the NATO propaganda unit Bellingcat and the Murdoch press to have been a clandestine Kremlin operation.

The beatings will continue until morale improves.
