Episode 3915: RIPLEY’S BELIEVE IT OR NOT: From Russia to Terrorist Threats
from Renegade Talk Radio · host Renegade Talk Radio
From Russia to the U.S., from Al Qaeda to the Taliban and more… the stories you are about to hear, from around the world, could qualify for Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Russians - spurred on by Putin - are turning against eachother and reporting their fellow citizens for being against the war in Ukraine. You’ll hear about students reporting their teachers and a customer reporting a shop owner. But, when these ’scofflaws' were fined, other Russians donated rubles to pay for it. Though it was not widely publicized, newly confirmed Supreme Court Justice, Ketanji Brown Jackson, got hardened jihadis released from Guantanamo, despite statistics on previously released jihadis showing they returned to attacking Americans. Al Qaeda and the Taliban are getting headlines again. The death of Al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahri has been greatly exaggerated. He’s reared his ugly head in a new video. Meanwhile, the Taliban has just banned the original black, red and green Afghanistan flag and replaced it witha white flag that says, “There is no God but Allah, and Muhammad is His prophet.”You will also hear about how Amtrak has begun a controversial program - working with TSA to screen passengers using the Terrorist Watch List. And finally, some positive news: it’s no longer ‘glamorous' to become a terrorist (at least not in Jammu and Kashmir).
