Iran's Ayatollah: "The US Created ISIS"

Even as the Obama administration is embroiled in a scandal involving the paradropping of a crate of cash with $400 million in it in non-USD denominated bills to Iran, the same Iran continues to heap scorn upon the US president, culminating yesterday with Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khemenei, accusing the U.S. of creating and supporting ISIS as a means of creating conflict among Muslims and promoting a false form of Islam in the world. 

In an English language Twitter account affiliated with Iranian Supreme Leader, the country’s highest authority, tweeted: 

 

Khamenei.ir‏@khamenei_ir

US aim of making & backing DAESH is to sow discord in Islamic Ummah, defame true Islam & promote Wahabbi Islam which is far from true Islam.

----------------------------------------------

He alleged that the US aim of making and backing ISIS is to sow discord in Islamic Ummah, defame true Islam & promote Wahabbi Islam which is far from true Islam, in fact it is the religion of Saudi Arabia, some of the most ardent supporters of the Clintons. The claim is not the first time Khamenei has accused the U.S. and the West of creating the current conflict in Syria and Iraq. 

Last December, Khamenei accused U.S. officials of sowing discord among Muslims by “creating terrorist groups like Daesh (the Arabic word for the ISIL) and other groups that have been created through the funding of the US affiliates and their political aids," according to Iran’s state-run media outlet, Fars News. 

Following prostate surgery in late 2014, he suggested America, Zionism and “the wicked government of Britain” created Al Qaeda and Da'esh (ISIS) as way to contain Iran, but that instead these groups “have turned on them.”  

Ironically, the relentless attacks against Obama take place as his administration has spent the past few years cozying up to Iran brokering an agreement last July between the Islamic Republic and world powers to curb Iran’s nuclear program and lift international sanctions. It recently culminated with news of secret monetary paradrops coinciding with a prominent prisoner exchange. Obama has denied the money was paid as a ransom.

We are confident Obama will deny the ISIS creation allegations as well, despite the previously documented existence of a secret Pentagon memo which revealed that the US "created" ISIS as a "tool" to overthrow Syria's president Assad.

Russian armed forces received laser weapons

Source: Pravda.Ru

Russian Deputy Defense Minister Yuri Borisov said that the Russian armed forces received prototypes of laser weapons. According to the official, it goes about combat, rather than experimental weapons that have already been taken into service by the Russian army.

Speaking at a meeting dedicated to the 70th anniversary of the Russian Federal Nuclear Center in Sarov, Yuri Borisov said: "They are not experimental, but combat weapons that we have already been passed into service. The weapons based on new physical principles have become reality today. The technology existed before, but now is the time when they are used in practice," the general said apparently making references to the technologies that were developed in the USSR.

"These high-tech weapons will largely determine the image of the Russian army under the new state arms program before 2025," he added.

The weapons of new physical principles are based on physical processes and phenomena that have not been previously used either in conventional weapons or in weapons of mass destruction (nuclear, chemical, bacteriological). International military experts distinguish between laser, radio-frequency, beam and kinetic (including railgun) weapons.

In December of 2014, former Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, General Yuri Baluyevsky, acknowledged that the Russian Federation was working on military laser systems.

ISIS is planning SIMULTANEOUS attacks across Britain, France and Germany

British-educated Harry Sarfo, originally from Germany, travelled to Syria but commanders for the heinous group told him to return to Europe to prepare a terror attack.

He warned ISIS wants to carry out "loads of attacks at the same time", with militants preparing to strike targets in Britain, France and Germany.

Sarfo, who is serving a sentence in a German prison, claimed he was sent back to Germany from Syria not long after his arrival in the war-ravaged country.

He said: "They said, ‘Would you mind to go back to Germany? Because that’s what we need at the moment.



"And they always said they wanted to have something that is occurring at the same time. They want to have loads of attacks at the same time in England and Germany and France."

He said although the evil group has jihadis in Britain and Germany, they were pulling out of performing terror attacks at the last minute.

Sarfo, who studied at Newham College in East London, said: "They told me that there aren’t many people in Germany who are willing to do the job.

"They said they had some in the beginning. But one after another, you could say, they chickened out, because they got scared — cold feet. Same in England.”

Millenials Seen As Key To Introducing 666 biometric banking

Biometric market hype is shifting away from consumer electronics and toward biometric banking technologies that appeal to millennials, according to research from ABI Research. It reports that a mix of agile startups and powerful leading payment card players are integrating biometrics into mobile payment services, smart cards, and ATMs to improve banking security and authentication through innovative form factors. 

“This market shift is occurring faster than initially anticipated, with global revenues for biometric banking technology expected to top US$4 billion by 2021,” says Dimitrios Pavlakis, industry analyst at ABI Research. “North America alone accounts for almost US$8 billion in payment card fraud, a statistic that suggests the need for greater transaction security.” The new biometric banking applications specifically target millennials, with many in this generation quick to adopt the new technology. 

Ease of transaction, increased security, and greater user experience are the top tier features that attract customers to biometric banking. MasterCard has already integrated facial biometrics into its arsenal allowing users to pay using selfies, while banks worldwide are adopting fingerprint, voice, and facial recognition for personal banking. And it is not just banks and payment card players getting in on the action – Japanese vein recognition market leaders Fujitsu and Hitachi honed their technology over the past years to develop an intuitive vein recognition solution for ATM applications. Vascular biometrics authenticates a user by identifying the unique patterns made by his or her veins. Given the market appeal, pioneering startups were quick to follow suit. 

Atom Bank is testing the limits of mobile services through its biometrically-fueled, online-only banking approach. And Diebold and Eyelock recently partnered to deliver an iris recognition ATM that leverages NFC and QR technology via the users’ smartphone devices. Though the market is experiencing rapid adoption of these new biometric banking applications, vendors still struggle to tend to the ever-increasing vulnerabilities. Sensor and device manufacturers, algorithm designers, SDK and app developers, and information security providers will face significant challenges moving forward. 

Some aspects that will need addressing include leveraging and upgrading the existing infrastructure, interoperability issues, and data security. “Security flaws are always a concern, and even more so when customers' biometric data is involved,” concludes Pavlakis. “Banks and banking service providers will need to assure their clients that their data is being stored and managed efficiently.” These findings are from ABI Research's Biometrics Applications in the Financial and Banking Sectors.

Scotland Yard shows off the first of 600 awesomely armed Counter-Terrorism officers

Heavily armed new police patrols have been deployed on the streets of London today after a wave of terror attacks in Europe.

Met Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe unveiled the plan to put more highly visible patrols, armed to the teeth with pistols and semi-automatic SIG Carbine rifles, at major landmarks as a deterrent to potential attackers.

As well as guns, the new generation of armed officers also have BMW F800GS motorbikes to allow them to scramble to an incident anywhere in the capital and speed boats so they can deploy from the Thames.

The new officers are masked in order to protect their identity from attackers, which can help in a variety of different circumstances - from hostage situations, targeted attacks to kidnap attempts. The masks provide an extra layer of safety for counter-terrorism officers as they carry out their various specialist tasks.

But today's announcement - dubbed Operation Hercules by the Met - came against a backdrop of warnings from the Police Federation that it will take two years to deliver a promised increase of 1,500 in the trained-strength of armed officers across the country.

Of the new officers, 600 will be based in London and today's announcement revealed the first cohort to be trained.

More British police officers are carrying guns after a spate of attacks on the continent, including the Bastille Day massacre in Nice and the murder of a priest in a Normandy Church last week. The expanded firearms units were promised after the Paris attacks last November.

Israel Defense Forces Operating the Most Advanced and Protected Combat Vehicle

“Then hear Thou in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.” I Kings 8:45 (The Israel Bible™)

The Merkava Tank Administration at Israel’s Ministry of Defense has completed the development of its first wheeled armored personnel carrier (APC), the Eitan, which it says is the world’s most advanced and protected wheeled combat vehicle.

Over the past few days, the Defense Ministry, in collaboration with the IDF Ground Forces, have begun conducting initial trials of the Eitan. It is an advanced, multi-purpose APC equipped with a plethora of capabilities and prepared for combat mobility in varied and difficult terrain.

Brig. Gen. Baruch Matzliah, Head of the Merkava Tank Administration said in a statement, “The decision to develop the Eitan was made in light of lessons learned during [the 2014 Gaza] Operation Protective Edge, and the increased need to replace thousands of the IDF’s veteran M113 APCs with modern tools with maximum protection, tailored to the existing threats in the arena.”


Matzliah said that “alongside the decision to accelerate the production of the Namer (Heb: tiger, pronounced Nah-mehr) APC, it was decided to develop an additional tool, to compliment it, enabling fast, strategic mobility and maximum protection for ground forces. The series of exercises we have recently begun is allowing the IDF to test the tool in a variety of sites, ahead of decisions regarding the volume of the purchase.”

According to Matzliah, the Eitan was designed as a multi-purpose tool with varied abilities, whose low development and production costs would be roughly half that of the Namer APC, and/or any other wheeled APC in the world. This low-cost allows for the Eitan to be equipped with more tools, at a higher rate, like the Namer.

The Eitan will be the world’s most advanced and protected wheeled combat vehicle. It will be equipped with an active defense system, similar to the Namer APC and Merkava Mark 4 tank, and with additional protection systems. The most significant advantage of the Eitan is its excellent mobility capabilities across varied terrains and at speeds of 55 mph. The Eitan was designed for a multitude of tasks, from mobility for twelve soldiers (like the Namer) to advanced firepower.

The Eitan’s Technical Statistics:

Weight: 30-35 Tons

Engine Power: 750 Horsepower

Propulsion: 8 Wheels, 8X8 Drive

Maximum Road Speed: over 90 Kilometers per Hour

Capacity: 12 Soldiers: driver, commander, gunner and an additional nine soldiers

Combat Systems: from small arms positions to medium range with 30-40 mm cannons, and an active defense system

Le Pen's fury as riot police DRAG Christians out of church

Marion Le Pen simply wrote “France, 2016 #SainteRita” alongside the image of the priest who refused to leave the mass he was holding in protest against the demolition of local church Sainte Rita.

The angry protests come just a day after Father Jacques Hamel, who had his throat slit by two depraved Islamic State fighters, was laid to rest in Rouen Cathedral on Tuesday.

Thousands of mourners turned out to pay respect to the elderly priest, who was murdered by jihadists as he delivered mass in a church in St Étienne-du-Rouvray, Normandy.

Social media users took to Twitter to express their shock at the protesting priest being dragged out of Sainte Rita, which is due to be demolished and turned into a car park.

Jihadists have slit the throat of a priest. Anne Hidalgo [the mayor of Paris] helps them by destroying churches

One said: “Jihadists have slit the throat of a priest. Anne Hidalgo [the mayor of Paris] helps them by destroying churches.”

Another said: “The day after the funeral of a murdered priest, it destroyed a church in #SainteRita to make parking... Seriously?”

National Front party leader Marine Le Pen also waded into the row, tweeting: “And what if they built parking lots in the place of Salafist mosques, and not of our churches?”

The church has been closed since las year, but has been operating through a new Catholic parish association.
