2. 27-year-old Sahayb Abu was arrested in July over accusations that he was planning to carry out a terrorist attack in the UK. The man denies any wrongdoing.

(If only the Islamic world would use even half of their creative efforts to making things better for themselves as they do for trying to kill and destroy all non-Islamic icons, symbols and systems, they would have a man on Mars by now)

A British man, Sahayb Abu, who is suspected of terrorism, has spoken up about a bizarre plan to target the royal family with poisoned ice cream from a local branch of Sainsbury’s, according to Sky News.

Abu reportedly discussed the “sweet” scheme with an undercover police officer, known as Rachid, during one of their meetings last year, after the two met in a jihadist chat group on Telegram. A recording of the conversation was played at the Old Bailey criminal court where Abu is being tried for alleged terrorist plans.

The transcript of the meeting, cited by the Independent, revealed that apart from other topics, Abu apparently lamented the life sentence handed to pro-Daesh* agitator Husnain Rashid in 2018 over a number of terror-related offences.

According to the Independent, Abu claimed that the man “got 28 years in prison” for planning an “attack on Prince George”.

3. Now isn’t this interesting. Just imagine how much we don’t know about the Reichstag Fire that was the January 6 event in DC.

CNN and NBC paid BLM operative John Sullivan $35,000 each for his footage of the rioting inside the Capitol, including the death of the woman who was shot. @kylenabecker has the receipts. https://t.co/FRLnON6A6D

5. Media Silence After Biden Removes Petitioning From White House Website

It appears that the ‘We the People’ petition system has been taken off the White House website. Here is an archive of what it looked like before Biden took office.

The system has been around for many years. At any given time, hundreds of petitions were active. If you get 100,000 signatures, the White House is supposed to give an answer. You may remember that there was an active “Free Assange” petition that the Obama Administration was obligated to answer (and gave a bad answer).

When Trump took office, he briefly discontinued it but put it back up after a media uproar.

Now it appears the Biden White House has removed it. The website used to be here:
https://petitions.whitehouse.gov

This URL, as well as URLs for all currently-active petitions, just forward to the White House front page. I explored the website and could not find any mention of it. The link used to appear in both the “Contact” and “Get Involved” links, but it is gone from both.

I have seen nothing about this in the media. When I Google “White House Petition System Down” and other similar searches, I only get 4-year-old articles about the time that Trump temporarily disabled it.
