Carl Mueller, father of aid worker Kayla, kidnapped in 2013 by ISIS, killed in 2015:

“What this man did to Kayla — he kidnapped her...She was held in many prisons. She was held in solitary confinement. She was tortured. She was intimidated....
2/ "...She was ultimately raped by al-Baghdadi himself. He either killed her or he was complicit in her murder. I’ll let people who read this article make up their own mind how a parent should feel.”
3/ Marsha Mueller, Kayla's mother: "We are so grateful for them" -- President Trump and special operations forces -- "we are so grateful...I still say Kayla should be here, and if Obama had been as decisive as President Trump, maybe she would have been...
4/ "For me what matters most I'm hoping now we will finally get the answers we have been asking for all along. I think this administration truly might help us. I don’t think they are as closed about what happened."

Lieutenant Colonel Alexander S. Vindman, who joined the National Security Council in 2018 and listened in on the July 25 2019 Trump/Zelensky call, will answer questions tomorrow before the House committees conducting the impeachment inquiry.
2/ His family fled the USSR when he was 3.

"I am a patriot, and it is my sacred duty and honor to advance and defend OUR country, irrespective of party or politics," he will say, according to a copy of his opening statement.
3/ "For over twenty years as an active duty United States military officer and diplomat, I have served this country in a nonpartisan manner, and have done so with the utmost respect and professionalism for both Republican and Democratic administrations," Vindman will say.

The men who served with Bill Taylor in Vietnam and at tough diplomatic postings overseas have been enraged watching the president and the White House attack him.
2/ GEN (ret) and Ambassador Karl Eikenberry: "Bill always volunteered for the tough posting - in combat with the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War, Afghanistan, Gaza, the difficult spots in the Middle East."
3/ GEN Eikenberry adds pointedly that Taylor's "integrity and courage are the true marks of patriotism, loyal to an oath of office and never to be corrupted or intimidated by those seeking personal gain at our Nation's expense."

1. Two sources have confirmed to the New York Times that Baghdadi’s location in Idlib was confirmed as far back as early July, so 3.5 months ago. I spent months working on his obituary. Here’s what I can share now: nytimes.com/2019/10/27/wor…
2. Back in the summer, two people were arrested that led the CIA to flesh out the terror chieftain’s location: His courier & one of his wives. They provided details that combined with other intel allowed the CIA to hone in on a compound in Idlib - but it was too dangerous to go.
3. The compound where he was included civilians & being in Idlib, it was in both Syrian and Russian airspace. One source told me then that they had info he was going to move, and they planned to take him out during the move. But he didn’t move. For weeks, then months, he stayed.

Here’s a serious warning from Col. Başıbüyük @obasibuyuk90: Expect Major #ISIS Attacks in Europe #EU following #Turkey #Syria Op & Ceasefire. I consider the Colonel a solid source with implacable record & expertise. Think: Who wants to score geopolitical points with #ISIS Attacks
Let me give you a hint here (not that majority of my followers need any hints😉): Which globalist Factions have been so very alarmed & unhappy with #USA & #Russia cooperating on #MiddleEast issues? And remember: #MSM has been on this faction’s side. Okay?!
Here’s a bonus hint: That faction has been the loudest in opposing #Trump #Syria deal, and been warning (fear-mongering) on the peace efforts by #Russia-#Trump-#Assad by playing “This will revive #ISIS” card. Just saying!

1. Impeach @POTUS @realDonaldTrump for treason: Giving aid and comfort and adhering to #ISIS and al-#Qaeda by taking money from Mehmet Ali #Yalçında to betray our allies and We the People to Erdogan's al-Qaeda #ISIS murdering #Kurds and #Christians and freeing ISIS to attack us.
2. Here is our Exhibit A for the Trump impeachment trial in the Senate. Make the American people turn on Trump and the @HouseGOP @SenateGOP. And for the silent Evangelicals and Catholics. Shun their churches. @CatholicBishops
3.They must stand up for righteousness or we shut them all down. Nobody should ever pray in a church filed with blood innocent and children.

Tabrrez Ansari was beaten because he was a thief.

Peaceful kill and stab because others are kaffirs, merely for existing. By the book.
No, Islamic terror is not a "reaction." It comes from the Book. Why do you think affluent Bangladeshi Muslims killed people in a cafe in Dhaka when they couldn't chant from the Book? Or #ISIS killed Yezidi?

What absurdity. Baghdadi is a Ph.D. in Islamic studies and he is "cherry-picking"? He doesn't understand the Book? The Taliban (meaning "student") spend a lifetime studying the Quran & Hadith. They don't understand it? Are you fooling yourself or me?

1/ EXCLUSIVE: I had first TV interview with notorious ISIS member from UK, part of group dubbed "The Beatles".

Accused of beheading reporters, he was caught by Kurds.

I met him face to face. He got angry at me. Interview in English for @akhbar.

Part1:

2/ I just tweeted 1st part of my exclusive TV interview with El Shafee Elsheikh, ISIS member from UK. He's suspected member of notorious ISIS group "The Beatles".

Find below final part of interview for @akhbar. Nope, he didn't like my set of questions.

3/ By now you all had time to watch my full interview with captured "ISIS-Beatle" El Shafee Elsheikh.

In a series of tweets I'll now highlight what I think is significant in what he said.

Also some observations from the interview which btw took place in Kobani, Syria.
