The Great Wall of China did little to halt Genghis Khan and his Mongolian army from conquering 13th century China. Constantinople’s ring of fortifications could not stop the Ottomans from taking over what is modern-day Istanbul. Persian soldiers breached the fortified walls of Babylon in 539 B.C. Yet the building of border structures persists. Around 40 nations in the world have built barriers on their borders with 65 other countries since the fall of the Berlin Wall.
The threats prompting these constructions have changed over time. Justifications for border barriers range from territorial defense—such as the Korean demilitarized zone and India’s Line of Control with Pakistan—to the threat of terrorism, which compelled Turkey this August to reinforce pre-existing wire-fencing while adding concrete walls to parts of its border with Syria. Increasingly, however, walls are being built to control the movement of people—not armies. The threat politicians see today is not the conquering hordes of the past, but unarmed migrants simply seeking safety.
Border walls have shown some temporary successes. According to the Department of Homeland Security, there has been a plunge in the number of apprehensions of illegal migrants on the U.S. southern border—where over 700 of the border’s 2,000 miles are now fenced off— from over 1.6 million in 2000 to around 400,000 in 2014. “There is no doubt that building the fence, putting in drones and of the smart border technology, like cameras and sensors, has made it much harder to cross the border,” says Reece Jones, the author of Border Walls: Security And The War On Terror In The United States, India, And Israel.
Yet the fall in border apprehensions may be less a sign of the wall’s success than an indication that resources are being focused in the wrong area. “Some scholars would suggest that the decline we are seeing with people emigrating across the border was more related with the changing economic conditions that were pushing and pulling people to migrate rather than the increased enforcement at the border” says Jones. Less people are trying to emigrate to the US, while those that do often bypass the southern border altogether. Robert Warren, a former demographer with the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service, has estimated that since 2008 there have been more people simply overstaying their visas in the U.S. than illegal border crossers.
Like the French Maginot Line—a defensive system built in the 1930s that the Nazis merely avoided while invading France in World War II—a border wall can sometimes be sidestepped with an alternative route, albeit one that is often more dangerous. The securitization of traditional crossing points on the U.S. southern border has shunted migrants into remote and often unforgiving desert terrain, where around 160 have died this year. “While the total number of people being detained via crossing has declined after the construction of the fence the number who have died has increased because people are doing it in the deserts of Arizona, where its very dangerous to try and move through those spaces,” says Jones.
A similar phenomenon is unfolding in Europe. The razor wire fences along Greece and Bulgaria’s land borders with Turkey, built in 2012 and 2015 respectively, have forced migrants to pursue more dangerous and expensive alternative routes. Trips on the Eastern Mediterranean route from Turkey’s Western Coast to Greece now cost over $1,000. With Hungary sealing its southern frontiers as aresponse to over 200,000 migrants passing through its territory and the installation of temporary border controls in Germany, Austria, the Netherlands and Slovakia, the price of getting into Europe is likely to increase—a fact that most directly benefits criminal human smugglers.
The erection of border walls often stretching for hundreds of miles can also have a substantial environment impact. A study conducted by Peking University found that the Great Wall of China has altered the genetic structure of the same species of plants on both sides of the wall by blocking its natural gene flow, that aids in the evolution of a species. On the U.S.-Mexico border, the 15-foot-high wire-mesh fence has been acting like a dam, blocking the natural flow of flood water, which in turn disrupts plant life at a UNESCO biosphere reserve in southwestern Arizona, known as Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument.
Despite the downsides, the building of barriers remains popular for many countries. After 9/11, Elisabeth Vallet, an expert on border walls from the University of Quebec, noticed a sharp rise in the building of walls around the world. “We assumed September 11 triggered the proliferation of walls in the world, but we backtracked and discovered that the walls were on the minds of states’ already.” What she found was that building of walls was a sort of backlash to globalization. National identity was in crisis in a world that was rapidly eliminating barriers to trade, communication and cultural exchange. “People were feeling like their way of life was impacted by globalization, that the way to define themselves is to define themselves against the other.”
Building a wall is a very physical way for a country to deal with changing demographics. According to Vallet, the voices of Europe’s right-wing populists like Hungary’s President Viktor Orban, who likes toinvoke Europe’s historic Christian heritage against the largely Muslim migrants, and the appeal of Donald Trump’s vision of sealing the U.S.–Mexico border, comes down to national identity. To her, the call for more border fences is a sign of the rise of the extreme political right.
At its most basic, a wall, border or even a basic picket fence psychologically makes people feel safer—whether or not it does in fact. “In the past the threat was often an invading army that was coming to take those resources, to sack a village or to climb over medieval city walls to steal whatever is inside of it… today the change is poor people are on the outside trying to come in to access opportunities which are contained in these borders,” says Jones.
Continued war, poverty and climate change will lead more migrants to spend their savings and risk their lives for a better future. The choice governments will have to make is to either build more costly walls—a kilometer of the U.S.-Mexico border barrier costs between $1-6 million to build and,according to an investigation by the Government Accountability Office in 2009, $6.5 billion to operate over 20 years—or seek sustainable solutions with the money they would have otherwise spent on these barren frontiers.

FBI Director James Comey testified on Capitol Hill Thursday in front of the House Oversight Committee, where he told members he was following the investigation into Clinton’s use of a private email server “very closely.”
“The FBI is working on a referral given to us by inspectors general in connection with former Secretary Clinton’s use of a private email server,” Comey said. “As you also know about the FBI, we don’t talk about our investigations while we are doing them. This is one I am following very closely and get briefed on regularly. I’m confident we have the people and resources to do it in the way I believe we do all our work, which is promptly, professionally, and independently.”
At the center of the investigation is whether Clinton’s use of a private email server compromised sensitive information and put national security at risk. The Washington Free Beacon first reported earlier this month the agency seized four State Department servers in a probe on how classified information was sent to the secretary of state.
Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R., Va.) asked Comey to speak in more general terms about the risk of enemies getting access to sensitive information. Comey declined to comment.
Democrats seized comments from House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R., Calif.) and Rep. Richard Hannah (R., N.Y.) that insinuated Clinton’s poll numbers have taken a dive because of revelations of the email server, and have called the investigation itself a partisan attack. Democrats on the committee pointed to several statements as grounds to quit the investigation altogether, despite its recent findings.
Comey said politics will play no role in his investigation because Clinton is running for president again.
“If you know my folks, you know they don’t give a rip about politics.”
After the Sept. 11 attacks, the federal government assembled a small army of undercover air marshals to protect U.S. flights and prevent similar hijackings. Fourteen years later, the federal air marshal program is mired in budget cuts, allegations of misconduct and management turmoil.

Republican House leaders have accused Arab nations at the United Nations of fanning the flames of violence in Israel by sponsoring a recent resolution describing the Jewish state as “occupied Palestine” and blaming it for a spike in Palestinian terrorism, according to copies of several letters sent to these nations and obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
Four leaders of the House Republican Israel Caucus petitioned the U.N. ambassadors of six Arab countries—Algeria, Egypt, Kuwait, Morocco, Tunisia, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE)—that recently pushed a U.N. resolution blaming Israeli security measures for a recent spike in Palestinian violence and accusing it of occupying “Palestine.”
The U.N. resolution initially attempted to reclassify the Western Wall, also known as the Kotel, as part of the Al Aqsa mosque, a move that sparked outrage in the pro-Israel community. However, the U.N.’s Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) dropped this part of the measure before approval.
Palestinian terrorists have gone on a violent spree in recent weeks, wounding dozens of Israelis and killing others.
“We are greatly disturbed by the “Occupied Palestine” resolution submitted by your government and adopted by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO),” the lawmakers write in a letter to each of the Arab nations that backed the measure.
The letters are signed by Reps. Peter Roskam (R., Ill.), Lee Zeldin (R., N.Y.), Doug Lamborn (R., Colo.), and Leonard Lance (R., N.J.).
“This resolution, which wrongly condemns Israel of violating the status quo of the Temple Mount, falsely accuses Israel’s security measures against terrorism as illegal aggression, and asserts false Palestinian claims to historical Jewish sites, forces us to question your commitment to halting the recent violence within Israel and the West Bank and achieving a peaceful resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict,” it states.
The Palestinians are exploiting UNESCO in order to erase the historic Jewish connection to the land of Israel, the lawmakers write.
“This Palestinian-drafted resolution egregiously reconstructs thousands of years of Jewish history and attempts to remove Jewish connection from the holiest of Jewish sites, including Rachel’s Tomb and the Cave of the Patriarchs,” they write.
The lawmakers go on to express concern that such moves could exacerbate violence.
“These inaccurate depictions of Jewish sites will only serve to exacerbate tensions between Israelis and Palestinians and incite further violence,” the letter states. “We condemn these insidious actions and urge you to take steps which will relieve tensions in Jerusalem, including actions to discourage Palestinians from using the Al Aqsa Mosque as a base for violent uprisings against Israelis.”
The lawmakers “condemn this resolution” and urge the Arab nations to “take steps to quell Palestinian terrorism” and foster peace in the region.
A draft copy of the original UNESCO measure that was viewed by the Free Beacon condemns Israel and accuses it of being an occupying force.
Israel is called an occupier of “the Capital of Palestine,” meaning Jerusalem, where both the Western Wall and Al Aqsa mosque stand.
The measure also “decries the recent repression in East Jerusalem, the occupied Capital of Palestine, by the Israeli army” and accuses Israel of sparking violence through its policies to combat terrorism.
It goes on to “firmly [deplore] the continued storming of Al Aqsa Mosque/Al Haram Al Sharif [also known as the Temple Mount] by the Israeli right wing extremists and urges Israel, the Occupying Power, to take necessary measures to prevent provocative abuses that violate the sanctity” of the area, according to the draft text.
The original draft was described as “anti-Semitic” in nature by Sen. Mark Kirk (R., Ill.).

Staunton, October 22 – Over the last 15 years, Russia has been “transformed into a country of one leader, one party, and a state without law but with poor health care, education, and environment,” a system which can best be described as “nomenklatura authoritarianism,” according to Gennady Gudkov.
And because the nomenklatura is interested in throwing up obstacles to any change or innovation, it is “OBJECTIVELY INCAPABLE” of developing the country, something an ever larger share of Russians sense and either predict disaster ahead or try to emigrate, according to the opposition politician (echo.msk.ru/blog/gudkov/1644428-echo/).
During Putin’s reign, he continues, “Russia has finally been converted into a land of the bureaucrats and a paradise FOR the bureaucrats.” Even the most powerful businessmen risk losing everything they have if they run afoul of the wishes of senior members of the Russian nomenklatura.
“Having received almost unlimited power, the NOMENKLATURA has also expanded to unheard of size: there are now five to six times more bureaucrats in a Russia with 140 million population than there were in the entire USSR with its 286 million residents.” They’ve filled up all the old government buildings and erected more.
But in addition to its size, the nomenklatura has arrogated to itself ever more powers and privileges, most recently have secured protection from any exposure of what its members actually own even as they take more bribes and claim things that the citizens living under their control have no hope of ever seeing.
“In advanced countries, people have long understood how dangerous the nomenklatura could become if it had power,” Gudkov continues. They require regular circulation of elites via honest and competitive elections, a balance of power between parliament and government, and the tightest possible control over the nomenklatura by the government, society, and the media.
Unless and until Russia breaks the power of the nomenklatura by moving in that power, “the country will be led by the NOMENKLATURA headed by the chief bureaucrat, the President, is seeking to rule forever [and it] will be CONDEMNED to degradation … and a strategic lagging behind the rest of the world.”
And despite the “zombifying” propaganda to which they are subject, “ever more and more thinking citizens are beginning to sense the historical dead end into which the NOMENKLATURA is driving the country.” That’s why 260,000 Russians applied for the 4,000 green cards that would allow them to live and work in the US.
This is more applicants per space than for admission to any higher educational institution in the world and it is a truly shameful figure for Russia. Gudkov says that he will “hardly be mistaken if [he] says that the number of potential ‘refugees’ from completely peaceful Russia is today more than those who are running for their lives from the terrors of war in the Middle East.
“In short,” he concludes, if the nomenklatura state remains in place in Russia, then “Russia alas has no future, and the situation which exists now is for 90 percent unenviable and possibly even tragic. For this, one can say a big ‘thank you’ to the nomenklatura powers that be.”

At least ten people -- including six children -- have been killed and several others wounded in a suicide bomb attack at a Shi'ite mosque in southwest Pakistan.
Suicide Bomber Kills 10 Shi'ite Worshipers in Pakistanby webdesk@voanews.com (Ayaz Gul)
Officials in Pakistan say a suicide bomber killed at least 10 Shi'ite Muslims and wounded many others in a remote southwestern region. The violence occurred in Blolan district of Baluchistan province. Provincial home minister Sarfraz Bugti says the bomber, wearing a burqa, entered and blew himself up in a crowded mosque where members of the minority community had gathered as part of a 10-day annual ritual called Ashoura to commemorate the death of Imam Hussein, the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad. There were no immediate claims of responsibility. Security is usually tightened around Pakistan ahead of Ashoura to deter Sunni Muslim extremists from attacking the Shi'ite gatherings and processions. The sectarian rivalry has left thousands of people dead in Pakistan in recent years. Earlier this week a powerful bomb ripped through a passenger bus in the provincial capital, Quetta. That attack killed at least 10 people. A low-level separatist insurgency has plagued Baluchistan for years. Extremist groups linked to al-Qaida and the Afghan Taliban also allegedly operate in the area. Separately, Pakistan’s military said that at least 21 militants were killed in overnight airstrikes in the Khyber tribal district on the Afghan border. It also reported a missile strike by a locally-built drone - called the Burraq - Thursday night against “terrorist hideouts” in South Waziristan, another volatile tribal region near the border with Afghanistan. The army says the attack killed “many terrorists” but gave no figures. The violence took place on a day when Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif met with President Barack Obama at the White House to discuss, among other issues, his country’s counterterrorism efforts.
