An extremely dangerous terrorist from a group linked to Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) has been arrested in Chechnya, the head of the republic, Ramzan Kadyrov, has posted on Instagram, adding that more than 50 members of the group have been detained so far.

"On Saturday, Imran Datsayev, a highly dangerous terrorist, was detained. He had managed to escape during a special operation in the village of Geldagan earlier," Kadyrov wrote on Sunday.

The militant was caught near a shopping mall in the center of the republic's capital, Grozny. Police had blocked the man's way and he threw a grenade at them, Kadyrov said.

Since a Saudi-led coalition intervened in the Yemeni conflict on behalf of its ousted president, at least 4,125 civilians have been killed, most in coalition bombings, Human Rights Watch says in its annual report.

The organization paints a grim picture of the situation, saying that Western backers of the intervention, particularly the US and Britain, don't appear to be willing to investigate alleged war crimes perpetrated by the coalition, despite mounting evidence.

"Foreign governments have continued to sell weapons to Saudi Arabia, despite growing evidence the coalition has been committing unlawful airstrikes. US and UK lawmakers, whose governments altogether approved more than $20 billion and $4 billion worth of weapons sales, respectively to Saudi Arabia in 2015 alone, have increasingly challenged the continuation of these sales," the report said.

One of the organizations targeted in an undercover Al Jazeera investigation, exposing Israeli influence in British politics, is considering legal action against the broadcaster. The Jewish Labour Movement (JLM) has seen cause to consider a legal complaint against Al Jazeera after its series The Lobby recorded the group's director, Ella Rose, in tears after an encounter with former Momentum organizer Jackie Walker.


Walker, who appears in the documentary series defending her position, has been suspended from the Labour Party and from Momentum, accused of making anti-Semitic remarks.

In the second episode of the series, the undercover reporter, who went by the name of Robin Harrow, filmed himself approaching a very distressed Rose. "It's been a tough week," she's heard saying. "Essentially [pro-Palestinian news website] Electronic Intifada released that I worked at the [Israeli] embassy for JLM, and Jackie Walker has been slamming me online all week. I just had to stand in front of her; it was really hard."

Now the group, which organizes Jewish Labour Party members, believes that Harrow's journalism was unethical and are considering making a formal complaint. "There are other elements of Harrow's behavior towards [Rose] whilst undercover that we have not been able to speak about publicly as, pending advice, we hope they will become the subject of a legal complaint," a senior JLM source told the Jewish Chronicle.

A further source said to be close to both the JLM and the Israeli embassy was quoted in the Jewish News saying: "While this country has a fine tradition of investigative journalism, in this case Al Jazeera's employee appears to have overstepped the mark, behaving unethically and used the cloak of anonymity to seek footage that can be presented out of its original context in order to incite venom and hatred against Israel's supporters in the UK.

Hundreds of thousands of people are expected to attend Donald Trump's inauguration, but hundreds of thousands of protesters are also expected in Washington next week to vent their frustration over his election win. Demonstrations are scheduled across the United States, but the focal point of anti-Trump ire will be in the nation's capital, where a small minority -- several thousand -- have pledged to disrupt the January 20 inauguration ceremony.

The main protest will come the following day at 10:00 am (1500 GMT) -- the Women's March on Washington, which is backed by celebrity A-list participants including Katy Perry, Julianne Moore, Cher and Scarlett Johansson.

It all began with a simple Facebook post from Hawaii grandmother and retired lawyer Teresa Shook to about 40 of her friends. Word traveled quickly, and eventually made it to the pro-Hillary Clinton Facebook group Pantsuit Nation, which has nearly four million members. Now, nearly 190,000 people have said on Facebook they will attend. Another 250,000 said they were interested. "We expect elected leaders to act to protect the rights of women, their families and their communities," organizers said in a statement.

It isn't just that Donald Trump routinely thumbs his nose at the establishment, insults media figures he sees as unfair and bucks conventional wisdom.

It is that President-elect Trump is defying the will of the deep state, military industrial complex base of ultimate power in the United States. That is why he is treading dangerous waters, and risks the fate of JFK.

Trump publicly dissed the intelligence community assessments on Russian hacking; they retaliated with a made up dossier about the alleged Trump-Putin 'golden shower' episode.

Oh, the irony! Amid all the accusations of foreign interference in the election, the first solid indication of it showed up with the publication of a slanderous unsourced memo written by a "former" British intelligence agent accusing Donald Trump of various "perversions" and claiming he's vulnerable to blackmail by those evil Russkies. The "ex"-MI6 agent, one Christopher Steele - how's that for a name straight out of a James Bond novel? - works for "Orbis Business Intelligence, Ltd.," a high-toned London-based "private" spook agency usually hired by big corporations out to spy on their competitors or those pesky environmentalists.

According to press reports, Steele worked undercover in Russia for several years, cultivating a wide network of contacts who, today, regularly feed him information. It was through these contacts that he concocted a series of memos first reported by CNN and later published by BuzzFeed, the product of rumor, gossip, and innuendo - in short, the stuff "raw" intelligence is made of.

News accounts also report that it was Fusion GPS, a Democratic "research" firm, that got the initial contract, and was paid by the Republican wing of the "Never Trump" movement. After Trump won the Republican nomination, the ball was passed to the Democrats, who picked up the bill. Oh, but it didn't end with Trump's victory at the polls: Steele and Fusion GPS head honcho Glenn Simpson soldiered on: "By then," the New York Times reports, "the election was over, and neither Mr. Steele nor Mr. Simpson was being paid by a client, but they did not stop what they believed to be very important work."

Yes, out of the goodness of their hearts - patriotic duty, dedication to the victory of the West over the Evil Putinite Threat, and good old-fashioned stick-to-it-tiveness - the Dauntless Duo pursued their quarry through thick and thin, and they did it all for free, casting aside any thought of reward and abjuring the huge sums they are usually paid for such work.

We interrupt this fantasy to bring you an important announcement: it didn't happen that way.

President Barrack Hussein Obama delivered his farewell address in Chicago last Tuesday night.

Honesty is not an Obama Virtue

Obama wasted no time uttering his trademark lies. In his third sentence he stated that his "conversations" with the American people "are what have kept me honest." Honest? Are you kidding? This guy's the most deceitful pathological lying president in US history. Two of his biggest whoppers out of the gate numbering in the thousands will go down in infamy:

After the damage inflicted on the world by the Bush-Cheney regime, Obama came to power preying on America's desperate need for change and hope. But he only delivered more damage to our nation and world, faithfully carrying out the very same malevolent policies both foreign and domestic as his war criminal predecessors. And the transformational change he promised turned into a nightmare gone from bad to worse that we'll be stuck with for years to come. That a Democrat or a Republican occupying the White House doesn't matter points to the same actual power controlling the figurehead in Washington.

After two stolen terms in office by the Bush-Cheney duo, and nonstop war in both Iraq and Afghanistan, Obama campaigned on a promise to end those senseless conflicts but instead only prolonged them. At the expense of American taxpayers, Obama continued waging those costly wars to the tune of $6 trillion (or more) and near 14,000 American lives (military and civilian), most of which were lost on his watch. Obama ensured that the neocons' "endless war on terror," now over 15 years and counting, remain endless. With Afghanistan going down in American history as our nation's longest running war, Obama's legacy in both Iraq and Afghanistan as well as Syria and Libya, and indirectly in Yemen, are the Obama regime's "ENDLESS WAR OF TERROR." On top of that despicable fact, President Obama is the first two term president in US history to have America at war throughout his entire presidency. The peace candidate turned out to be the most warring president of them all.

NATO's biggest buildup in Europe since the Cold War was met with official cheers in Poland and approving Western media coverage this week, but lack of concern in Western public discourse suggests a collective amnesia towards the continent's horrific past.

Up to 4,000 US troops and hundreds of Abrams tanks and Bradley armored vehicles rolled into Poland after disembarking in Germany last week. Most of the soldiers were from the 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team out of Fort Carson, Colorado. They represent the US army's best assault units.

It is but the latest military escalation since the US launched Operation Atlantic Resolve with NATO partners in April 2014. That operation is said to be a result of the Ukraine conflict, which Washington and allies blame on Russian interference.

Spanish authorities say that among the 10-12,000 weapons seized earlier this week are some capable of bringing down aircraft. The haul comprised illegally reactivated decommissioned weapons, which have been used by terrorists in Europe.

Police arrested four men and woman - all Spanish nationals - who had been operating a sophisticated trafficking network in several provinces across the country under the front of a historical weapons workshop that bought supposedly decorative firearms. The purchased weapons were then restored and sold on the black market throughout Europe.

President-elect Donald Trump tapped Rudy Giuliani as his "go to" guy this week on cybersecurity, but it turns out that Giuliani's New York firm could use a little better security of its own.

The website for the former New York mayor's firm, Giuliani Security, is riddled with vulnerabilities, and numerous tech experts cackled over the irony on social media.

"You wouldn't need to be uber-skilled to hack it," Aaron M. Hill, a web developer at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, who was among those bantering about the website's shortcomings on Twitter, said in a telephone interview.
