More Than 365 million Christians Face Genocide by Uzay Bulut

https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/20389/christians-face-genocide

Except for North Korea, where the persecution is caused by “dictatorial paranoia” and “communist and post-communist oppression,” the main religion of all other countries and groups on the list is Islam.

“While some relief aid is available, this is mostly distributed through local Muslim groups and mosques, which are alleged to be discriminating against anyone not considered a devout Muslim.” — Open Doors, Yemen.

“More believers are killed for their faith in Nigeria each year, than everywhere else in the world combined.” — Open Doors, Nigeria.

“For Christians who convert from Islam, not even the veneer of tolerance is present.” — Open Doors, Iran.

“When the Taliban came to power, they did so with pledges to recognize more freedoms than in the past. But that hasn’t happened—if an Afghan’s Christian faith is discovered, it can be a death sentence, or they can be detained and tortured into giving information about fellow believers.” — Open Doors, Afghanistan.

“Of 34.5 million displaced people across Sub-Saharan Africa, around 16.2 million are Christians.” — Open Doors, Sub-Saharan Africa.

Many of these incidents remain unreported by the mainstream media. And until the mainstream media, governments and international organizations start openly addressing the ideological and theological motives of the perpetrators, this worldwide, genocide-level persecution of Christians will likely increase.

France’s Skyrocketing Threat by Guy Millière

https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/20414/france-skyrocketing-threat

January 30, 2024. The French weekly, Le Journal du Dimanche, publishes the most comprehensive and detailed survey on what French Muslims think. Not surprisingly, the results are disturbing.

Every year, Muslims of France [the main French Muslim organization, and the French branch of the Muslim Brotherhood] organizes a conference that attracts hundreds of thousands of Muslims from all over Europe. The group also invites radical imams who speak to the crowd.

The survey further showed that 49% of French Muslims want Catholics to convert to Islam, and that 36% percent want churches to be transformed into mosques… The survey also discloses that 25% of French Muslims said that the word “France” is a word they reject.

France is a country where more than 70% of prison inmates are Muslim. According to reports, the crime rate among the Muslim population is high…. There are also more than two hundred rapes every day in France, most perpetrated by Muslim men who entered France illegally. Only 7% of illegal immigrants ordered to leave France are ever actually deported

A similar situation to that of France can be found in other Western European countries, where the Muslim population may be smaller but is quickly growing.

If Europeans wish to avoid such a future and keep their culture, they need to start making that outcome unmistakably clear to everyone, not just by words but by actions. If not, what we are seeing could well mean the end of the European civilization as we know it.

January 30, 2024. The French weekly, Le Journal du Dimanche, publishes the most comprehensive and detailed survey on what French Muslims think. Not surprisingly, the results are disturbing.

The first question in the survey was about Jews. 17% of French Muslims admit that they hate Jews. 39% say they have a bad, or very bad, opinion of Judaism.

France is the only country in 21st-century Europe where Jews regularly have been murdered simply because they are Jews.

Fmr Navy Intel Cmdr Reveals Biden Suppressed Info on Previous Chinese Spy Balloons What did the Biden admin know about the Chinese spy balloons and when did it know it? Daniel Greenfield

https://www.frontpagemag.com/fmr-navy-intel-cmdr-reveals-biden-suppressed-previous-chinese-spy-balloon-info/

Remember the Chinese spy balloon over Montana? We’ve had hints that it was only the tip of the iceberg and we know that the Biden administration attempted to cover it up until a viral civilian’s photo made it a national issue. But now there’s confirmation that the Biden administration was aware of multiple spy balloons.

Former Rear Admiral Michael Studeman had headed up the Office of Navan Intelligence. In an op-ed at the Financial Times, he reveals that “when I was director of intelligence for the Indo-Pacific Command, for example, I watched as numerous requests to publicise Chinese malign activities were disapproved by Washington, including a recommendation to publicise Beijing’s use of high-altitude surveillance balloons over the sovereign airspaces of the US, our allies and Asian partners. This was many months before the shooting down of a Chinese balloon flying over the US last year.”

Now this is important because the Biden administration claimed that it was not aware of previous spy balloons.

According to U.S. officials, Chinese balloons crossed over the U.S. at least three times during the Trump administration and at least one other time earlier in the Biden administration.

However, the U.S. was not aware of the Chinese incursions at the time, according to Air Force Gen. Glen VanHerck, the head of NORAD and the officer responsible for domestic air threats.

He told a news conference that the military only learned of the intrusions after they were pieced together by the intelligence community after they happened.
“At least one time earlier.”

George Soros Set to Control Second-Largest Chain of Radio Stations

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/02/14/george-soros-set-control-second-largest-chain-radio-stations/

Billionaire and left-wing philanthropist George Soros has been buying up debt to acquire a controlling stake in the second-largest radio broadcaster in the country, Audacy.

Court filings and sources close to the situation told the New York Post that Soros Fund Management has “bought up $400 million of debt in Audacy — the No. 2 US radio broadcaster behind iHeartMedia with stations including New York’s WFAN and 1010 WINS, as well as Los Angeles-based KROQ, according to bankruptcy filings.”

Soros could than have control of more than 220 radio stations nationwide. One Republican insider close to the situation told the outlet that Soros could be trying to have media outlets to potentially influence public opinion during the 2024 election.

“This is scary,” the source said.

Should Soros prove successful, he will likely have a 40 percent stake in the company’s senior debt, which would give him strong control of the company when it emerges from bankruptcy. He will not have a majority.

Western intellectuals in a Soros-backed think tank are all in for promoting Iran’s interests By Hamid Enayat

https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2024/02/western_intellectuals_in_a_sorosbacked_think_tank_are_all_in_for_promoting_irans_interests.html

The Iranian regime does not solely advance its warmongering through employing a radical force like Hamas, or Hezbollah in Lebanon, or the Houthis in Yemen, with millions of dollars in payments and logistical support.

It also tries to influence policymaking in various European and American media and decision-making institutions. Iran does this to prevent any effort to halt to its massacres of the Iranian people, and to stop any efforts to block its warmongering, and any effort to end its construction of a nuclear bomb.

These advocates of appeasement also push economic interests in trade with Iran, while at the same time strongly condemning the wave of executions!

Recently, in an interview with the French newspaper Le Monde, Ali Vaez, a so-called Iran expert, said that if we put too much pressure on the Iranian regime because of the devastating war in the Middle East, this regime would move farther towards building a nuclear bomb. Ali Vaez works within the Brussels-based, Soros-backed, International Crisis Group as its Iran Project Director, one of the few think tanks that have close relations with the Iranian Foreign Ministry. Alex Soros sits on its board of directors.

The Iran Influence Network

Recently, a large number of emails discovered by two media outlets, the American Semafor, and the Farsi-language Iran International TV broadcast, show that Tehran’s cooperation with the International Crisis Group was formed through the Center for Iranian Studies, which is affiliated with the Iranian Foreign Ministry.

These emails show that in the years 2013 and 2014, Crisis Group analysts were promoting the positions of the Iranian government, even when they contradicted the positions of the Obama administration. These emails reveal that the two had signed an agreement that was never made public. These documents well demonstrate that the International Crisis Group has played a significant role in nuclear negotiations and the lifting of sanctions on Iran for nearly a decade, consistently making recommendations to the Obama-, Biden-, and Trump administrations.

Release The Biden Transcripts Now

ttps://issuesinsights.com/2024/02/21/release-the-biden-transcripts-now/

“How in the hell dare he raise that.” — President Joe Biden, Feb. 8, 2024

In an effort to dismiss the claim that he couldn’t remember the year his son Beau died, President Joe Biden claimed he was simply angered because he was asked about it. Turns out, Biden lied.

“Frankly, when I was asked the question, I thought to myself it wasn’t any of their damn business,” Biden said at a hurriedly arranged press conference early in February.

Immediately, the media sprang into action attacking Special Counsel Robert Hur for bringing up Biden’s son.

“Beyond the pale,” they said. “A setup from the start.” “What does that have to do with the retention of classified documents?” “There is no legitimate answer for why he would do that … unless they were trying to trip him up, rattle him, gain oppo.” Etc., etc., etc.

Jill Biden even sent out a fundraising letter attacking Hur. “I can’t imagine someone would try to use our son’s death to score political points.”

Jill, who was not actually Beau’s mother, said that the day Beau Biden died from brain cancer was “forever etched” on her and Joe’s hearts.

But then last week, NBC News, to its undying credit, did something unusual for a mainstream media outlet. It tried to verify Biden’s account. And what did it find?

Biden lied, and Jill compounded the lie.

Hur didn’t bring up Beau, or ask when he died, NBC News reported. It was Biden who brought up his son – as he almost always does whenever he opens his mouth – and it was Biden who then tried to recall the year he died.

Here’s NBC News’ account of what actually happened:

Tony Bobulinski and the Biden Family Business Hunter’s former partner tells Congress how Joe & Co. sold influence.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/tony-bobulinski-and-the-biden-family-business-hunter-c81ab558?mod=opinion_lead_pos1

Remember Tony Bobulinski? He’s the former Hunter Biden business partner who exposed details about the Biden family business in 2020 but was ignored by the press. Last week he testified before the House Oversight and Judiciary committees, and he confirmed how the Bidens sold political influence and the family “brand.”

A businessman with international experience, Mr. Bobulinski was recruited to work with Hunter Biden, Rob Walker and James Gilliar on a business venture with CEFC, a China-based energy firm with ties to the Chinese Communist Party. Hunter later eased out Mr. Bobulinski, but not before Mr. Bobulinski saw how the Biden family business worked. He has provided dozens of emails, text messages and business and financial documents to back up his testimony.

***

Mr. Gilliar recruited Mr. Bobulinski in 2017 to meet Mr. Gilliar’s partner and be part of what Mr. Bobulinski was told would be a “massive” deal with CEFC. The partner was Hunter. Mr. Bobulinski says it was made clear to him that Hunter’s contribution was “providing his name and the power of his family and what they’ve developed over the prior 50 years.”

He says Joe Biden was also central to the deal. Mr. Bobulinski says he met the then former Vice President in early May 2017 in Los Angeles in the context of the CEFC deal. Hunter arranged a meeting with his father, though Mr. Bobulinski says he was “coached” by his partners that “this is going to be a high-level meeting. We’re not going to go into a lot of detail” about CEFC.

The World’s Moral Authorities on Israel The Palestinian Authority, Qatar and Brazil’s Lula give Hamas a pass.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-worlds-moral-authorities-on-israel-palestine-gaza-49110acc?mod=opinion_lead_pos3

Three comments by leaders around the world on Sunday are worth noting as a sign of the global times. Each can help vanquish illusions.

First, speaking at the Munich Security Conference, Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh called on Hamas to unite with the PA on the latter’s terms. “Russia has invited all Palestinian factions” to meet, he said, and “We are ready to engage. If Hamas is not, then that’s a different story. We need Palestinian unity.”

Asked about working with the perpetrators of Oct. 7, Mr. Shtayyeh replied, “One should not continue focusing on Oct. 7.” He later clarified on Al Jazeera, “Palestinian suffering did not start on Oct. 7” but with Israel’s creation. “Don’t deal with the cosmetics, you should deal with the roots of the problem.”

“Cosmetics” is a cavalier way to brush off Oct. 7, but why should Mr. Shtayyeh guard his tongue? Even as his PA glorifies Oct. 7 at home and compensates the killers, the Biden Administration insists that a new Palestinian state be created for the PA to rule.

Little wonder that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his centrist chief rival, Benny Gantz, joined on Sunday to oppose unilateral U.S. recognition of a Palestinian state. That isn’t the plan, says U.S. Ambassador to Israel Jack Lew. Perhaps he senses how out of step it is while most Palestinians support Oct. 7 and the PA seeks unity with Hamas.

Pro Hamas Protestors Deliver 300 Pounds of Poop to Nancy Pelosi’s House Matt Margolis

https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2024/02/18/protestors-deliver-300-pounds-of-poop-to-nancy-pelosis-house-n4926537

San Francisco’s infamous poop map got a massive update last week after pro-Palestinian protesters dumped 300 pounds of cow manure outside Nancy Pelosi’s home. After the large delivery of bovine excrement was placed, the group held signs reading “NANCY PELOSI ENOUGH WITH THIS S—T” and “STOP ARMING ISRAEL. ARMS EMBARGO NOW.”

According to a report from the San Francisco Standard, Nancy Pelosi’s home has become a regular target of Code Pink protestors since the October 7 terrorist attacks on Israel. 

Last week, Code Pink protesters were charged with vandalizing Pelosi’s home and the surrounding area with red paint.

“An activist affiliated with the anti-war group Code Pink is facing felony charges for causing damage around Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi’s San Francisco residence during a Feb. 11 demonstration,” the San Francisco Standard reported Friday. “The activist, Heather Phipps, is accused of damaging Pelosi’s garage door along with city streets and sidewalks outside the Pacific Heights home she shares with her husband, Paul Pelosi. A spokesperson for the Department of Public Works said it incurred $5,648 in cleanup costs, largely involving paint on the sidewalk, roadway and street trees. Phipps is set to be arraigned on March 12.”

Tractors roll into downtown Prague as Czech farmers join protests By Eva Korinkova

https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/tractors-roll-into-downtown-prague-czech-farmers-join-protests-2024-02-19/

PRAGUE, Feb 19 (Reuters) – Hundreds of Czech farmers drove their tractors into downtown Prague on Monday, disrupting traffic outside the Agriculture Ministry, as they joined protests against high energy costs, stifling bureaucracy and the European Union’s Green Deal.
Farmers across Europe have taken to the streets this year, including in Poland, France, Germany, Spain and Italy, to fight low prices and high costs, cheap imports and EU climate change constraints.

Czech farmers are planning to join protests this week, although major agricultural associations distanced themselves from Monday’s action, in which tractors blocked one lane of a major road through Prague, slowing but not completely snarling traffic.
Several hundred whistling and jeering protesters gathered outside the Agriculture Ministry yelling “Shame” and “Resign”.
“We came today mainly because of the bureaucracy around farming, the paperwork is on the edge of what is bearable,” 28-year-old farmer Lukas Melichovsky said while in the line of tractors.

Another farmer, Vojtech Schwarz, said cheaper imports did not face the same scrutiny as domestic production: “They have a different starting line because we are overseen by a million officials,” he said.
The government has said the organisers of Monday’s demonstration have little to do with real farming.
“Today’s demonstration does not have much in common with the fight for better conditions for farmers,” Prime Minister Petr Fiala said on X social media platform, adding some of its organisers were pro-Russian or had other political aims.
