…In its response to the lawsuit in which it said it had 178 immigrants #Guantánamo, the #Trump admin also detailed where in the base they were being held. 127 were housed in Camp VI, the high-security detention facility typically used to detain people accused of #terrorism by the #UnitedStates…. Another 51 were housed at the Migrant Operation Center, an existing structure previously reserved for migrants interdicted at sea.
The 51-to-49 vote, with 2 #Republican defections, means that #KashPatel will now oversee the vast #surveillance & [have the] investigative powers of the #FBI, whose [at least before now] mission is seeking out the #truth even if it angers the president. As its director, Patel will be asked to protect the country from #terrorism, dangerous #criminals & #PoliticalCorruption, along w/the threats posed by global rivals like #China & #Russia [so, to protect the country from #Trump]
Yesterday I missed an important context of the attack[^1] of #Russia drone on #Chernobyl - that only a day before, on 13 February president Zelensky visited Khmelnitsky #nuclear power plant where he officially opened construction of four new power blocks.[^2] There’s going to be 2x1.1 GW unused Soviet reactors #Ukraine bought from #Bulgaria and then 2x1.1 GW US Westinghouse reactors. So in total 4.4 GW, a massive capacity that will make Ukraine independent of the Russia-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant and conventional power plants Russia has damaged or destroyed.
Russia’s drone was thus very likely an intimidating message, very much in Russian style, a reminder that they will try to sabotage the construction of the new blocks. Russians clearly chose a target that was “nuclear” enough but unlikely to cause any real trouble, it was purely psychological operation.
And it was not the first such #nuclear #terrorism operation in Russian history - in the same way in 1982 they tried to stop construction of a powerful fast-breeder Superphénix reactor in #France - unique one, because it allowed to fully close the nuclear fuel cycle and essentially reuse uranium fuel practically forever. Soviets used Chaïm Nissim, an activist for Swiss Green Party, who fired at the reactor in construction from a RPG-7 grenade launcher delivered to him by nobody else than the famous terrorist Carlos the Jackal in cooperation with Cellules Communistes Combattantes (Communist Combatant Cells). Nissim of course admitted to it only in 2003 and the attack was the for decades used as practical proof of “vulnerability of nuclear power to terrorism” by Greens. The argument was absurd because the attack, if it demonstrated anything, it was literal invulnerability because the grenade didn’t even scratch the concrete casing of the reactor, but Superphénix was plagued with “environmental” protests until it was closed in 1997.

Under their leadership, the #middleeast has become a source of global #terrorism.
Arab nations are corrupt and weak from decades of neglect and infighting.
Only now, with a boot on the throat of the #middleast, do they profess their love for the #TwoStateSolution.

Don't believe the hype. Arab leaders use the notion of peace to reconstitute terrorist networks.

Trump’s Jan. 6 pardons immediately upended the biggest single prosecution in U.S. history and signaled a broader reversal that threatens to create a more permissive climate in which extremists could regroup and weaken the FBI’s independence.
The Biden administration took the first major step against right-wing "accelerationist" #terrorism, the effort to inspire independent followers to engage in violence in ways that broadly destabilize society. Now it’s up to Trump. https://theconversation.com/biden-targeted-the-online-right-wing-terrorism-threat-now-its-up-to-trump-247977 #StateDepartment
This is invariably how Washington uses the words "#democracy" and "#terrorism". When you hear them, just translate to "obedient" or "disobedient".
"What matters, in the end, is less whether a country is democratic or not, more whether the country is pro-American or anti-American."

From Guadalupe Correa-Cabrera: Unlike other international groups who have been historically designated as global terrorists, Mexican cartel leaders espouse no unified political agenda. It is difficult to determine how these heterogeneous crime groups target the United States. https://www.texasobserver.org/mexico-us-cartels-terrorists-ftos-essay/
