EUROPE—As refugees begin to flood from #Afghanistan, reporting reemerges on a disturbing pattern: rape, sexual assault and other serious crimes, alleged majority perpetrated by Afghanis since mass migrations into European nations during the “Arab Spring”. apnews.com/article/europe…
The author, here, leaves an open-ended question on why young Afghan men are allegedly abusing women within the nation they sought refuge in.
Statistics are difficult to cite. @InfoMigrants, for example, state:
“Official crime statistics in Germany confirm an increase of nearly 13 percent in sexual assault and rape cases in 2016 compared to the previous year – with 8.6 percent reported (assailants) Afghan nationals.”
With the evacuations out of #Afghanistan, reports the Taliban have already seized control, focus is shifting on how European leaders will address a new influx of military-aged male refugees—based on lessons learned in the last decade.
Watching the videos out of the airport in Kabul, it seems the majority of women and children were pushed away, or made to fend for themselves under live gunfire, as men jumped the barricades.
Just a few months ago, @TuckerCarlson told @megynkelly he was furious at allegations he was being influenced by Qatar:
Now, @dcexaminer report: “Qatar paid top dollar to ensure the interview (with Carlson) took place. Foreign Agents Registration Act records show that Lumen8 Advisors LLC, helped facilitate between Carlson and the Qatari dignitary.
The German bishops are despairing in their waning power under the new Pope, especially after their attempts to usurp Church authority as they tried to do with Pope Francis, failed.
“Question: How do you assess his attitude with regard to the issues being discussed in Germany? For example, more equal rights for different genders and lifestyles?”
Overbeck: I think he is cautious in this respect. He is a person who is aware of the issues, but also knows that the assessments in different cultures are very different.
We are really in a different world to the one he experienced in Peru.
In his last two years in Rome, for example, a lot has happened with the World Synod of Bishops on a synodal church. Synodality was one of the major themes of Francis' pontificate. In his first address, Pope Leo XIV made it immediately clear that he would continue to pursue this line.”
Rovert Cardinal Prevost on Synodality:
“There’s the real synod, and then there’s the stuff you read on the internet and in different places. There’s a lot of key issues that are saying, ‘Well, what do they do about this? Or what do they do that? And who’s on this side? Who’s on that side?’ That’s not what the synod is about.”
It’s important to emphasize that the last time the Pope spoke Infallibly, from the Chair of Peter (ex cathedra) was in 1950–the Declaration of the Doctrine of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary.
For what it’s worth, for those concerned with Pope Francis’ recent letter, his predecessors contradict him regarding a State’s right to regulate migration (including deportation).
WAITING ON TITLE 10 Orders from @JoeBiden / @KamalaHarris—directing SECDEF to redirect military assets for Defense Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA).
Lack of coordination, lack of proactive preparedness, lack of pre-planned responses…
As a DSCA SME, I can tell you this is systemic.
I founded a company 8yrs ago to bridge this gap, and NO University, City, State wanted to proactively identify their risks addressing Security/Weather/CBRN-E Disaster Threats.
I was told, directly, that neither my 9 Executives nor I would ever receive investment in our company because we presented solutions to risk assessments—and this process would be more of a liability than the reactions to failures after a Mass Casualty event.
Until this mindset changes, we will never get ahead of the chaos and the cost of reactionary responses.
Waiting for FEMA shouldn’t be the answer.
It has been over 150hrs since Hurricane Helene made landfall in Florida.
Proactive preparedness occurred on some States.
Without Title 10 authority, however, the military cannot support.
Title 32 is not the same support (only National Guard), and is limited.
Huh.
Interesting how this story has had almost no traction?
Why might that be?
Who is Rob Malley, and why is his intimate connection with Iran, his position and his access to highly classified material concerning?
