An Italian-based lobbying organization tied to George Soros
is calling on journalists to eliminate all language that could portray
migrants in a negative light, including phrases like “illegal immigrant”
and “Islamic extremist.” The list of terms to be banned for use by journalists was released by Association Carta di Roma, an Italian-based immigration lobbying organization that “seeks to be a stable reference point for those who work on daily basis with media and minorities issues.”
Founded
in December 2011, Association Carta di Roma uses “research and
monitoring activities,” along with “training activities for media
operators,” to promote “respect and guarantee of the rights of asylum
seekers, refugees, migrants or minorities in general.”
The organization has requested terms such as “clandestine”
(clandestine migrants), “zingari” (gypsies), “nomadi” (nomads),
and “extracomunitari” (those coming from outside the European Union) not
be used by journalists.
While those terms broadly encompass a
large number of people, even precise ethnic terms such as “Albanian,”
“Maghrebi” and “Chinese” should not be used in news reports because
“today, they are no longer neutral.”
Association Carta di Roma also demanded
journalists not report on the ethnic origin of those who commit crimes,
stating “journalists are encouraged to ensure the anonymity of
asylum-seekers, refugees, victims of trafficking and migrants involved
in news events – including those involving crime – where reference to
their identity could cause them harm.”
The phrase “Islamic
extremists” should be replaced by the term “extremists” in order to
avoid causing unwarranted prejudice against Muslims, according to the
organization.
Journalists should take cultural diversity into
account in their reporting in order to ‘promote mutual understanding
between national, social, cultural and religious groups in the local
area, therefore enhancing social cohesion,” according to the report.
George
Soros, through his Open Society Foundation, is a major financial
supporter of Association Carta di Roma; the Open Society Foundation logo
features prominently on the Carta di Roma website, as does the logo for
the Untied Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.

Today Infowars investigative journalist Jerome Corsi met with
former vice-head of Armed Services Committee and the House Homeland
Security Committee, Curt Weldon, to discuss his committees’ deep
research into the Clinton technology transfers to Russia in exchange for
Clinton Foundation donations. Weldon validated much that is presented
in the following article, which is part one of a series of investigative
articles coming out over the upcoming week based on intel by Weldon and
other sources: WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congress may want
to examine concrete evidence showing Russian President Vladimir Putin
paying Hillary Clinton and John Podesta for a long time before the
mainstream media goes even more overboard trying to fabricate a tie
between Putin and President Donald Trump.
The money trail
hunt begins with a document Infowars has obtained from the Russian
Central Bank “Registry of Significant Control,” known generally as the
“RSC Registry.”
This document traces the ownership of Metcombank, a
relatively small Russian-domiciled bank located in the Russian Ural
Mountains, to ownership by Viktor Vekselberg, a Russian billionaire with
close ties to Putin.
As we shall see this document provides
evidence of the circuitous path the Russian government has been using
since Hillary Clinton was secretary of state to make large financial
payments to John Podesta and to the Clinton Foundation.
Be sure to keep referring to this document to cross-check as you continue reading the article below.
As
the RSC Registry makes clear, Vekselberg has been paying Clinton and
Podesta through a complicated money laundering scheme involving
Metcombank in Russia, with payments tracing back to the Renova Group, a
Russian-based energy and investment international conglomerate also
owned by Vekselberg. A March 1, 2013 article from Russian media in which Vekselberg confirmed the questionable bank deposits.The
funds rediverted to Clinton and Podesta through the Renova Group and
Metcombank originate in large part from Rusnano — a state-owned
investment fund owned by the Russian government. Conveniently,
Vekselberg is a board member for Renova. A NYT article from April 23, 2015 revealing how Clinton made military transfers to Russia.
The entire scheme involves a Netherlands-listed private company that
plays prominently into the international money laundering the Russian
government has been conducting through offshore entities in the Cayman
Islands, as documented by the Panama Papers.Money laundering
schemes created by professional criminals are typically complicated. To
begin understanding the RSC registry on Metcombank, note that the
bottom box on the chart (second page) makes clear that Vekselberg
effectively owns 100 percent of Metcombank.
First, the simple part.
Metcombank appears to be the bank Vekselberg has used to make transfers to the Clinton Foundation,
with the money flowing first through the Moscow branch of Metcombank,
and from there into Deutsche Bank and Trust Company Americas in New York
City, finally ending up in a private bank account in the Bank of
America that is operated by the Clinton Foundation.
How Putin paid Podesta is more complicated.
John
Podesta, the campaign chairman of former Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton during her 2016 presidential run. Podesta has deep ties to
Russia despite blaming President Trump of the same.The
complication begins when we examine the RSC Registry and realize that
Vekselberg owns Metcombank through a series of intermediary companies,
starting with the Renova Group, a Russian corporate conglomerate with
interests in oil, energy, and telecommunication that lists Vekselberg as
chairman of the board.
The Renova Group owns and operates Renova
Assets Ltd., a private investment company headquartered in the Bahamas
for which Bloomberg lists no key executives, board members, or members of the executive committee.
Conveniently, Vekselberg also has ties to Rusnano, the Russian State Investment Fund, via his ownership and management of the Renova Group in Russia.
In 2011, Vekselberg directed Rusnano to make a $35 million investment
into Joule Unlimited, a small Massachusetts-based energy company, owned
by Joule Global Holdings, N.V., in the Netherlands, with Joule Global
Stichting, the ultimate controlling entity.
The Rusnano investment
into Joule Unlimited was made when then-Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton spearheaded the transfer of U.S. advanced technology to Russia,
some with military uses, as part of her “reset” strategy with the
country.
As previously reported, in the summer of 2011, while he was advising then-Secretary Clinton on State Department policy, John Podesta joined the board of three Joule entities:
Joule Unlimited, a small Massachusetts-based energy company; its
holding company, Joule Global Holdings, N.V., which was based in the
Netherlands; and Joule Global Stichting, which appears to be the
ultimate controlling entity.
Podesta, it turns out, has been paid
an undisclosed amount, starting in 2011, for serving on the executive
board of Joule Unlimited that he neglected to report to regulatory
authorities in the U.S., as well consulting fees from the Wyss
Foundation, a group controlled by Swiss billionaire Hansjörg Wyss, an
investor in Joule Energy.
In an Aug. 2016 report entitled “From
Russia with Money,” the Government Accountability Institute noted that
Podesta consulted for a foundation run by one of the investors in Joule
Energy, Hansjörg Wyss, who in turn was a major Clinton Foundation donor.
Podesta was evidently paid $87,000 by the Wyss Foundation in 2013, according to federal tax records.
The
GAI report also documented the Wyss Charitable Foundation has given
between $1 million to $5 million to the Clinton Foundation.
Joule Global Stichting was established in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, on March 14, 2011.
John
Podesta joined the Joule Global Stichting’s executive board on June 25,
2011. The Joule Global Stichting is a foundation, but it’s not strictly
a foundation in the charitable sense.
A foundation of this type, a
Dutch stichting, is a popular means for reducing one’s tax burden, as
noted on the website of the Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca, which
is at the heart of the Panama Papers investigation into offshore banking and money-laundering operations as archived and released by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists.
The
Government Accountability Institute concluded that although Podesta is
listed on the corporate records, he failed to disclose his membership on
the board of Joule Global Stichting in his federal financial disclosure
forms when he joined the Obama White House as a senior advisor.
To
complete the circle, Vekselberg, the Renova Group, the Skolkovo
Foundation, and Hansjörg Wyss all have ties to the Clinton Foundation,
either as substantial donors or as participants in the Clinton Global
Initiative.
Joule Global Stichting and Joule Global Holdings, N.V., also figure prominently as a client of Mossack Fonseca.

TheNewAmerican.com “Freedom of expression does not signify a right to lying,” asserted
French Minister for Families, Children, and Women’s Rights Laurence
Rossignol. A new law in France imposes a punishment of a maximum of two
years in prison and a fine of $30,000 for “spreading or transmitting
allegations or indications liable to intentionally mislead, with the
purpose of deterring [from abortion], on the characteristics or medical
consequences of a voluntary interruption” of pregnancy. In other words,
if a person asserts, on a pro-life website, that abortion could lead to
certain adverse medical situations for the pregnant woman, and the
government considers that “mis-explaining the need for a new law in
France,” that person could be criminally prosecuted.
“Voluntary interruption” of pregnancy is, of course, euphemistic
language for abortion, and speaking out against what one considers the
taking of innocent human life — unborn babies — through abortion is
considered criminal in France.
Clear language has been a frequent victim in the abortion argument since even before the infamous Roe v. Wade
decision of 1973. Whenever referring to an unborn child in the womb,
the pro-abortionists start speaking Latin, instead of English, calling
the child a “fetus” — which means “young one.” And, whereas we used to
refer to a miscarriage as “losing the baby,” the pro-abortionists call
it “losing a pregnancy.” Then, there is the euphemistic “reproductive
rights.” Finally, those who favor abortion on demand prefer the term
“pro-choice,” without saying what they are “pro-choice” about. When
reporting on the dispute, American leftist journalists use the language
of those who favor abortion on demand, giving the “pro” term to those
who are for legalized abortion, and the “anti” word to those who want to
defend the unborn child, calling them “anti-abortion.”
The bill in the National Assembly in France was designed to stop the
“electronic” or “online” dissemination of any information that has the
intent of dissuading women from seeking an abortion to end their
pregnancy. But the wording is so broadly written that any person, or any
group, that speaks out publicly against the grisly practice, calling
attention to the dangers or risks of having an abortion, can become
subject to criminal prosecution.
In France, where abortion has long been legal as a purely elective
(for any reason) procedure and totally funded by tax money as a
“fundamental right,” the socialist government was moved to action after
it became known that Google searches made for abortion providers also
took women to pro-life websites, set up to discourage abortion. The
pro-life sites explained that there are risks associated with abortion,
and suggested places where a pregnant woman could go if she wished to
seek help in keeping the baby. The pro-life groups assert that abortion
can have negative side effects and cause health problems or
psychological consequences. (On a personal note, this writer met a woman
years ago who said that she had an abortion when she was 17 years old,
and had nightmares for about 10 years after that. That would appear to
confirm the pro-life websites. The woman eventually became a Christian
and a pro-life activist).
In contrast, the government’s Ministry of Health created a
pro-abortion website that provided information on access to abortion.
The Ministry of Health contends that the pro-life sites perpetuate
“misconceptions” about the procedure. On the pro-abortion government
site, there is a page on what the Ministry of Health calls
“misinformation about voluntary interruption of pregnancy,” a page in
which the government argues that pro-life sites are not really
information sites, but are rather just pretending they are. (This sounds
a bit like the claim that “fake news” allegedly helped Donald Trump win
the U.S. presidential election last November.) Instead, on the
government sites, women are urged to go to Planned Parenthood or other
pro-abortion sites that provide abortion clinic addresses.
In 2001, the government banned “moral and psychological pressure
searching to hinder abortion.” This law was created to stop the
activities of pro-life activists in which they spoke to women planning
to obtain an abortion, or held demonstrations near abortion providers in
clinics or public hospitals. An elderly and nearly blind pro-lifer was
fined for the crime of giving knitted baby boots to a woman in the
stairway of the building where Planned Parenthood had its offices in
Paris.
Regarding the latest law, Rossignol said, “anti-abortion activists
will remain free to express their hostility to abortion, provided they
are honest about who they are, what they do, and what they want.” If a
pro-life site does not do that, said Rossignol, then it is guilty of
“manipulating minds.”
And who will decide whether or not pro-life material is “misleading,”
or involved in “manipulating minds”? A pro-abortion government
bureaucrat, of course. Presently, government-published “information” on
abortion uses what pro-lifers contend is misleading information. For
example, the socialist Hollande government refers to a surgical abortion
in very odd language — calling it an “aspiration of the egg.” Rossignol
even argued in the National Assembly that “abortion is not the removing
of a life.”
Clearly, the law is intended to chill the freedom of speech of the
pro-life movement in France. On the other hand, there is no provision in
the law to punish pro-abortionists for disseminating “misleading”
information.
There is opposition to the new law. Jean-Marie Le Mene, president of
the Fondation Jérôme-Lejeune, stated, “That which dissuades from
abortion is not false information, but correct information.” The
Republican (center-right) party called the law an infringement on
freedom of expression, and voted in opposition. Additionally, they have
vowed to ask the Constitutional Council to set the law aside as being
contrary to the French Constitution’s protections of free speech.
Unfortunately, what has happened historically in France is all too
familiar to those in America who have seen our own Republicans in
action. Past laws against abortion have been opposed by the Republican
Party of France when they are in the minority. Once back in the
majority, however, they have made no moves to roll back these laws,
which increasingly advance the cause of those who favor abortion.
No doubt pro-abortionists in the United States have taken note of
these anti-free-speech and pro-abortion actions in France by that
country’s socialist government. If the American Left had the votes,
would they enact a similar law here?

"Whoever disrespects the Holy Prophet Muhammad is worthy of death, and
even if disrespects indirectly he is still worthy of death. Even if
someone asks for forgiveness it is not acceptable.”
Large numbers of people who believe this are entering the U.S., and
obviously many are already here. What could possibly go wrong?
“US Mosque hosts celebration in honor of Pakistani killer,” by Ehsan Rehan, Rabwah Times, February 14, 2017:
A U.S. Mosque on Sunday celebrated the death anniversary
of a Pakistani man who shot and killed a sitting Governor for
criticizing the country’s Blasphemy Laws. Mumtaz Qadri,
who was the Governor’s bodyguard, assassinated liberal Pakistani
politician and Governor of Punjab province Salman Taseer in 2011 for
speaking out against Pakistan’s controversial Blasphemy laws and
expressing solidarity with a Christian woman who had been accused of
blasphemy. After Qadri was charged with murder by an anti-terrorism
court and hanged in 2016, more than 100,000 people came out to attend
his funeral.
The Gulzar E Madina Mosque in Pikesville, Maryland hosted an “Urs” in honor of the infamous killer on February 12th. Urs
is a traditional commemoration usually given to Saints and Holy
personages. The Mosque also advertised the event in the February 9th
edition of Urdu Times, America’s most widely distributed Urdu language
newspaper.
The Urs or commemoration was attended by dozens of people
including young children and teenagers. Event speakers included
Pakistan-based Islamic singer Muhammad Ali Soharwardi, NewJersey-based Islamic scholar Syed Saad Ali and Baltimore-based Islamic cleric Ijaz Hussain among others.
Pakistan-based Ali Soharwardi has been on a U.S tour for the past few
weeks and performed at several events in New York and New Jersey before
making his way to Maryland.
Speaking at the event, an unidentified speaker said:
“Whoever disrespects the Holy Prophet Muhammad is
worthy of death, and even if disrespects indirectly he is still worthy
of death. Even if someone asks for forgiveness it is not acceptable”
Speaking at the event New Jersey-based Islamic scholar Syed Saad Ali asked the attendees why they did not take any action after the arrest of Qadri, Ali said: “Warrior Mumtaz Qadri kissed the noose in love for Prophet
Muhammad When Qadri was in jail for 5 years what did we do? what effort
did we make (for his release), Why did we not go where he was being
held? Qadri did everything for us, and for the love of Islam and we
could not even stand by himPeople say Islam teaches peace…..I say Islam
teaches us Ghairat (Honor) Who will now stand up?”
Referring to another Blasphemy Killer, Tanveer Ahmad, Ali said:
“Our warrior Tanveer who is sitting in a jail in Scotland, I don’t know if someone knows or not, when that Mirzai
(Ahmadi) spoke his “sacrilegious rubbish” he went there and stabbed him
27 times and the police arrested him and right now he is in a jail in
Scotland. So if we just take a step forward, angels will automatically
come for our help. But what Mumtaz Qadri has done is something amazing,
he has surpassed all these warriors”
In march 2016, British-Pakistani man Tanveer Ahmad killed fellow
British-Pakistani Asad Shah in Scotland for “disrespecting Islam”. Shah
was a member of the minority Ahmadiyya Islamic sect, the Ahmadis are
considered heretics by mainstream Muslims.
Baltimore-based Islamic cleric Ijaz Hussain praised the religious freedom in the U.S. and said:
“We have some freedoms here (in the U.S.) which we do not
even have in other Muslim countries, this is the beauty of this
country. There are some countries where we can’t even praise the
prophet, we can’t celebrate the Day of Imam Hussain, this country has
freedom of religion and this is the beauty of this country.”
Hussain further said:
” Mumtaz Qadri was not a terrorist and whoever says “We are with you O Prophet” cannot be a terrorist.”
He went on to condemn American Muslim organizations for not taking action against Blasphemers, Hussain said
“When the blasphemous film was released in the U.S,
everyone was sleeping including CAIR, ISNA, ICNA and others, and now
when the ban has come into effect, they all have risen up, because they
are not letting Muslims come into this (so called) heaven”
The speakers also collected donations which they claimed would be used to help Syrian refugees get to the U.S.

BethMoore is one of the most popular female Christian speakers and authors. Her Bible-study books have sold millions of copies. Her Living Proof Live conferences, hosted by LifeWay (Southern Baptist), draw thousands of attendees. She hosts her own radio program (Living Proof with Beth Moore) and appears regularly on the television program LIFE Today. Christian Reader magazine called her “America’s Bible Teacher.” Beth Moore’s Ecumenism Moore’s
meetings are attended by people from “every denomination,” because she
“doesn’t get caught up in divisive doctrinal issues” and “steers clear
of topics that could widen existing rifts between different streams in
the body of Christ” (Charisma, June 2003).
This
is the unscriptural “keep it positive” ecumenical philosophy that is so
helpful in furthering end time apostasy and building the apostate
one-world “church.” Paul exhorted Timothy not to allow any doctrine
other than sound Bible doctrine, but Mrs. Moore knows better than to be
so intolerant and narrow-minded (1 Tim. 1:3).
Moore’s
worship leader, Travis Cottrell, “has a uniquely fresh approach to
worship that brings the church together,” an approach “that permeates
every denominational wall” (LifeWay Christian Resources web site).
In
a conference in Houston, Texas, Moore claimed that God showed her a
picture vision in which Christ was looking down on Houston and seeing
all of the different churches. (She says, “God speaks to me often by
putting a picture in my head.”)
Moore had women come up to the
platform and sit in little groups to represent a hodgepodge of churches
and doctrine. She says: “We are a very interdenominational group. ... I
can’t tell you how much I love that diversity.” The groups she
highlighted were United Methodist, Lutheran, Presbyterian, Baptist,
Charismatic, and Roman Catholic.
Moore claimed that God showed
her that the Roman Catholic Church is part of the “church” as He sees it
and that it should be included in ecumenical unity.
See http://apprising.org/2011/12/22/beth-moore-gods-vision-for-the-church-includes-the-roman-catholic-church-denomination/
Moore
is the blind leading the blind. She ignores the Bible’s solemn warning
about the multiplication of false teachers and the explosion of end-time
apostasy. She ignores the fact that within the denominational diversity
she “loves” is found a bewildering variety of heresies, such as
baptismal regeneration, infant baptism, sacramentalism, Mariolatry,
veneration of relics, popery, antinomianism, universalism, contemplative
mysticism, theological modernism, The Shack’s female goddessism, to name a few.
We
are living in the midst of rampant end time apostasy as prophesied in
the Scriptures (2 Timothy 3-4). It is not time to “permeate”
denominational walls; it is time to raise up walls of biblical
separation as a godly protection from error and worldliness.
Romans 16:17
and Jude 3 and similar commandments are commonly ignored by popular
evangelical speakers, but they will not be ignored at the judgment seat
of Christ.
“For the time will come when they will not endure
sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves
teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from
the truth, and shall be turned unto fables” (2 Timothy 4:3-4).
“Now
I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences
contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them” (Rom. 16:17).
“Beloved,
when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it
was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should
earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the
saints” (Jude 3). Beth Moore and Contemplative Prayer Beth
Moore is also on the contemplative prayer bandwagon. She joined Richard
Foster, Dallas Willard, and other contemplatives on the Be Still
DVD, which was published in April 2008 by Fox Home Entertainment.
Shortly after it was released she issued a retraction of sorts, but she
soon retracted her retraction. In a statement published on May 26, 2008,
Moore’s Living Proof Ministries said: “We believe that once you view
the Be Still video you will agree that there is no problem with its expression of Truth” (Beth Moore statement, Lighthouse Trails website.)
To the contrary, the very fact that it features Richard Foster and Dallas Willard are serious problems!
Lighthouse Trails issued the following discerning warning: “In
the DVD, there are countless enticements, references and comments that
clearly show its affinity with contemplative spirituality. For instance,
Richard Foster says that anyone can practice contemplative prayer and
become a ‘portable sanctuary’ for God. This panentheistic view of God is
very typical for contemplatives. ... The underlying theme of the Be Still
DVD is that we cannot truly know God or be intimate with Him without
contemplative prayer and the state of silence that it produces. While
the DVD is vague and lacking in actual instruction on word or phrase
repetition (which lies at the heart of contemplative prayer), it is
really quite misleading. What they don’t tell you in the DVD is that
this state of stillness or silence is, for the most part, achieved
through some method such as mantra-like meditation. THE PURPOSE OF THE
DVD, IN ESSENCE, IS NOT TO INSTRUCT YOU IN CONTEMPLATIVE PRAYER BUT
RATHER TO MAKE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY HUNGRY FOR IT. The DVD even promises
that practicing the silence will heal your family problems. ... THIS
PROJECT IS AN INFOMERCIAL FOR CONTEMPLATIVE PRACTICE, and because of the
huge advertising campaign that Fox Home Entertainment has launched,
contemplative prayer could be potentially introduced into millions of
homes around the world.
“[On the DVD Moore says], ‘... if we
are not still before Him [God], we will never truly know to the depths
of the marrow of our bones that He is God. There’s got to be a
stillness.’ ... [But is] it not true that as believers we come to Him by
grace, boldly to His throne, and we call Him our friend? No stillness,
no mantra, no breath prayer, no rituals. Our personal relationship with
Him is based on His faithfulness and His love and His offer that we have
access to Him through the blood of Jesus Christ, and not on the basis
of entering an altered state of consciousness or state of bliss or
ecstasy as some call it” (“Beth Moore Gives Thumbs Up to Be Still DVD,” Lighthouse Trails report. In her book When Godly People Do Ungodly Things (2002), Moore recommends contemplative Roman Catholics Brother Lawrence and Brennan Manning.
Of Manning, she says that his contribution to our generation “may be a gift without parallel” (p. 72) and calls Ragamuffin Gospel
“one of the most remarkable books” (p. 290). She does not warn her
readers that Manning never gives a clear testimony of salvation or a
clear presentation of the gospel in his writings, that he attends the
Catholic Mass regularly, that he believes it is wrong for churches to
require that homosexuals repent before they can be members, that he
promotes the use of mantras to create a thoughtless state of silent
meditation, that he spent six months in isolation in a cave and spends
eight days each year in silent retreat under the direction of a
Dominican nun, that he promotes the dangerous practice of visualization,
that he quotes very approvingly from New Agers such as Beatrice Bruteau
(who says, “We have realized ourselves as the Self that says only I AM
... unlimited, absolute I AM”) and Matthew Fox (who says all religions
lead to the same God), and that he believes in universal salvation, that
everyone including Hitler will go to heaven. (For documentation see “A
Biographical Catalog of Contemplative Mystics” in our book Contemplative Mysticism: A Powerful Ecumenical Bond.)
If
Moore truly wants to disassociate herself from the contemplative
movement, that would be a simple matter. Let her issue a statement
renouncing Richard Foster and Brennan Manning and their Roman Catholic
contemplative friends and unscriptural practices. But don’t hold your
breath, dear readers.
JEW HATRED IN DETROIT: NATION OF ISLAM MEMBERS SCREAM "ALLAHU AKBAR" AS FARRAKHAN TAKES STAGE, DENOUNCES JEWS FARRAKHAN SLAMS TRUMP AS IRRELEVANT TO THE CAUSE OF RADICAL ISLAM
“I want to disabuse the Jews today of the false claim that you are
the chosen of God — that Israel or Palestine belongs to you. I want to
disabuse you of that. I’m going to tell you about your future. You that
think you have power to frighten and dominate the peoples of the world.
I’m here to announce the end of your time.”
The man introducing Farrakhan said that “Allahu akbar” meant “God is
greatest.” It doesn’t, actually. The actual meaning is “Allah is
greater,” meaning Allah IsGreater Than Your God. The Nation of Islam does not subscribe to orthodox Islam, which does
not blame “the world’s ills on white people,” but its Jew-hatred is
certainly mainstream Islam, and it is often in the U.S. a way station:
men convert to it and then pass from it into orthodox Sunni groups, and
even then turn to jihad. Remember John Muhammad, the Beltway Sniper.
(Video thanks to Brother Jesse).
“Thousands chant ‘Allahu Akbar’ for Farrakhan in Detroit,” by Kyle Olson, American Mirror, February 20, 2017:
The Nation of Islam had its annual gathering in Detroit
over the weekend and thousands of attendees chanted “Allahu Akbar” as
Louis Farrakhan made his way onto the stage.
During his appearance at Joe Louis Arena, Farrakhan denounced Jews and told them they are not God’s “chosen” people.
“I want to disabuse the Jews today of the false claim that you are
the chosen of God — that Israel or Palestine belongs to you,” he said.
“I want to disabuse you of that. I’m going to tell you about your
future. You that think you have power to frighten and dominate the
peoples of the world. I’m here to announce the end of your time,”
Farrakhan said, slamming his hand on the podium.
He blamed the world’s ills on white people.
“For 6,000 years, the people of the earth have suffered under a
mischief-making rule. Bloodshed and war, hatred and strife, all because a
man with a new color — or the lack thereof — thought that he was better
than all of those who inhabited the earth before he was even a
thought,” Farrakhan said.
“But I am here to announce today the end of his world and the
beginning of a brand new reality that all human beings will enjoy peace,
freedom justice and equality under the rule of Allah.”…
_____________________________________________ VEILED RACISM ON DISPLAY
"I AM A MUSLIM TOO" RALLY IN TIMES SQUARE, NEW YORK CITY, A SLAP AT PRESIDENTS WASHINGTON & LINCOLN DURING THEIR COMMEMORATION DAY
MUSLIM "CALL TO PRAYER"
RALLY & SPEAKERS
“Allahu akbar!”: Islamic call to prayer sounds at #IAmAMuslimToo rally in Times Square
(Thanks to Jason Stern for the video).
Little do these enlightened Leftists know that this cry of “Allahu
akbar” could one day be turned upon them, with no hint of gratitude for
their previous service.
Media outlets routinely mangle the true meaning of “Allahu akbar,”
the ubiquitous battle cry of Islamic jihadists as they commit mass
murder. The war-cry is mistranslated in the Western media as “God is great.” But the actual meaning is “Allah is greater,” meaning Allah IsGreater Than Your God or Government.
It is the aggressive declaration that Allah and Islam are
dominant over every other form of government, religion, law or ethic,
which is why Islamic jihadists in the midst of killing infidels so often
shout it.
One primary purpose of shouting is to “strike terror in the hearts of the enemies of Allah.”
Chief 9/11 hijacker Mohamed Atta made this explicit in his letter to himself
before carrying out his jihad mission: “When the confrontation begins,
strike like champions who do not want to go back to this world. Shout,
‘Allahu Akbar,’ because this strikes fear in the hearts of the
non-believers.” This is why the Fort Hood jihad killer, Nidal Malik
Hasan, shouted it as he shot thirteen Americans in November 2009, and
why so many other jihadis have used it essentially as an announcement
that non-Muslims are about to die.
But it is also frequently used when no
infidels are within earshot. According to Islam, Allah is sovereign and
dominant over all things, and controls everything. His control is so
absolute he decides if unbelievers reject Islam, according to the Qur’an.“If
we had willed, We could have given every soul its guidance,” but
instead, “I will surely fill Hell with jinn and people all together.”

A Minnesota high school band is taking political correctness to a
whole new level by only purchasing music created by “composers of
color.”
Band directors at the Spring Lake Park High School outside of St. Paul
say they’re taking inclusivity and diversity center stage.
“The
band directors… have pledged to include at least one piece by a female
composer and one by a composer of color in each concert, for each of the
school’s bands,” reports NPR.org.
But the directors are also taking another extraordinary step in virtue signaling their diversity. “We made a commitment this year to only buy music from composers of color,” band director Brian Lukkasson admits. Nora Tycast, another band director at the school, sees no problem with scrapping white composers in the name of “inclusivity.” “The more you practice talking about race, culture and ethnicity the more comfortable you are,” Tycast told NPR.
Unfortunately finding music to fit their race-exclusion agenda isn’t going so smooth, one of the directors claims.
“It’s
really hard to find music because there’s just not a lot of composers
of color that are being published,” Lukkasson explains.
As expected, not everyone is on board with the band directors’ decision. “This is what racism looks like,” a commenter at the conservative Daily Wire said.
Another
commenter referred to a quote by civil rights leader Martin Luther
King, Jr., who famously stated, “I have a dream that my four little
children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by
the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.” “Congratulations, idiots,” another person lamented, “on introducing racism into an area where it had all but disappeared.”

Reddit is banning the vast majority of pro-Donald Trump posts from appearing on its “most popular” page frequented by new users.
The
online discussion site announced it was clamping down on what would
appear as “popular” by showing visitors only popular posts from
handpicked categories, which would apparently exclude anything from pro-Trump subreddits.
In fact, a graph reveals that Reddit administrators are actively filtering out posts from The_Donald
subreddit from appearing in /r/popular; if the filter represented just
an algorithm based on what users filtered out themselves, one would
expect more posts filtered from r/politics.
Instead, there’s a clear bias against anything pro-Trump, and there’s precedent to believe this is intentional censorship. Back in Nov., Reddit CEO Steve Huffman vowed to suppress certain pro-Trump posts from appearing elsewhere on Reddit.
“Posts
stickied on r/the_donald will no longer appear in r/all – r/all is not
our frontpage, but is a popular listing that our most engaged users
frequent, including myself,” he wrote. “The sticky feature was designed for moderators to make announcements or highlight specific posts.”
“It
was not meant to circumvent organic voting, which r/the_donald does to
slingshot posts into r/all, often in a manner that is antagonistic to
the rest of the community.”
But Huffman’s justification is overshadowed by the scandal in which he was caught editing comments by pro-Trump users critical of him on Reddit. He
isn’t alone. Since Trump’s election, the largest social media sites
including Facebook and Twitter have suppressed Trump supporters – and
perhaps even the president himself.
Twitter in particular is apparently censoring positive responses to Trump’s tweets while showcasing the negative ones. On
Feb. 7, Twitter announced it was “collapsing potentially abusive or
low-quality Tweets” in the interest of “safety,” a catch-all term which
gives the social media giant carte blanche to suppress anything it deems
“offensive.”
Trump supporters noticed this caused negative
responses to Trump’s tweets to rise to the top of the page, allowing
anti-Trump fanatics to dominate the discussion.
Facebook has also
long attempted to control discussions on its site by blocking links to
alternative media and banning those critical of its censorship
practices.
Reddit Intensifies Censorship of Pro-Trump Content
“According to the New York Times,
three current and former anonymous employees claim the company has had a
new tool developed specifically to restrict certain kinds of posts from
appearing in users’ news feeds in certain geographic areas,” reported
the Anti-Media. “This form of censorship has been deployed under the
auspices of facilitating Facebook’s entry into the Chinese market.”
“Previously,
the company did this in Pakistan, Russia, and Turkey, where the
respective governments requested the ability for third parties to review
and block posted content. Facebook granted the requests and removed
approximately 55,000 total pieces of content.” Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg was also caught discussing the censorship of anti-migrant posts during a “hot mic” incident with German Chancellor Angela Merkel. He also met with with Lu Wei, the czar of China’s draconian Internet censorship system, in 2014, where the Facebook CEO lauded Wei as a visionary.
Since rising to prominence in 2011, Wei has personally overseen the
reduction of Internet access in China to cover-up mass government
corruption and criticism of communism in general. This censorship has kept the Chinese population ignorant and easier to control by the ruling elite.
For example, Chinese citizens are among the least aware of the 1989 Tiananmen Square Massacre which took place in the heart of Beijing because government censors routinely clamp down on any mention of the incident.
Facebook
is likewise motivated to restrict speech as part of the tech elite’s
agenda to eradicate nation-states in favor of a globalist superstate
controlled by an unelected network of titans in technology, media,
government and academia.
The social media giants – from Facebook
to Reddit – are establishing themselves as virtual “nations” ran by
authoritarian leaders, such as Zuckerberg and Huffman, who control the
public opinion of their “citizens” – the users – by suppressing
criticism of their agenda. These social media sites form
an anti-competitive system designed to derail rival viewpoints to the
globalist model while also dehumanizing individuals by making them feel
isolated and inadequate, despite the fact that it’s the individual who
triggers the combustive spark that drives the engine of human
progression.

Multicultural Malmo, Sweden is
the most dangerous city in western Europe according to newly released
figures, debunking mainstream media claims that Donald Trump is lying
when he focuses on the Scandinavian country as an example of the perils
of mass immigration.
Trump
was ridiculed by the media after referring to an “incident” in Sweden
that happened on Friday night. Trump later clarified his remarks,
insisting that he actually meant to refer to Sweden’s soaring violent
crime rate.
This led to an onslaught of propaganda claiming that mass immigration has had no negative impact on Sweden, including a Sky News
report that asserted, “Sweden’s crime rate has fallen since 2005,
despite the country taking in hundreds of thousands of immigrants from
war-torn countries such as Iraq and Syria.”
The facts suggest otherwise.
According to statistics analyzed by the Sydsvenskan newspaper,
Malmo has a “murder index” of 3.4 when homicides for one hundred
thousand inhabitants are taken into account, a “a very high figure”
according to the report.
This
compares to bigger but less dangerous cities in western Europe like
Paris (1.8), London (1.3), Copenhagen (1.1) and Berlin (1.0).
Having recorded 11 murders in 2016, Malmo is easily the most dangerous city in the entire Nordic region.
Mass riots, torching of vehicles and
sexual assaults have become routine in Malmo and other cities since
Sweden opened its doors to mass immigration. The influx of new migrants
as a result of the refugee crisis has only made the situation worse.
The situation in Sweden is so dire that even some Somali immigrants are considering returning home, saying that areas of some Swedish cities are more dangerous than their notorious homeland.
Malmo
is the perfect example of what happens when mass immigration is allowed
to swamp a city. Malmo is now known as “Sweden’s Chicago”.
43% of the population are from a foreign background, with the largest contingent of immigrants coming from Iraq.
Give
the public a break – The FAKE NEWS media is trying to say that large
scale immigration in Sweden is working out just beautifully. NOT!
Areas
of Malmo like Rosengard are 90% Muslim. Last year, Chief Superintendent
Torsten Elofsson retired after serving 42 years on the Malmo police
force.
“Malmo is infamous for
explosions. Yet thankfully nobody has been killed by the explosions yet –
some of them are just used to frighten people,” Elofsson told Breitbart.
“We had one case in Rosengard where a group were given a court order to
leave an apartment because they were a disturbance for the neighbours.
And then suddenly hand grenades and explosions outside the office of the
real estate company.”
Elofsson
said immigration has caused a crime surge in Malmo, with migrants
comprising the “majority” of people being arrested in the city. Police
are afraid to visit some “no-go” areas because their vehicles are
attacked.
One electricity maintenance company even announced that it could no longer serve customers in Malmo due to safety concerns over its employees.
Although Sweden’s de facto official
religion is political correctness, with hard crime stats being censored
by authorities for fear of causing offense, the situation is so dire
that people on the inside are finally beginning to speak out.
Earlier this month, veteran police officer Peter Springare blew the whistle on how almost all of the serious crimes in his city were being carried out by Muslims.
Springare
revealed that the crimes he is processing, which include rape, assault,
violence against police, drug trafficking and murder, were almost
exclusively committed by someone named “Mohammed” or a variation of that
name. The suspects were also invariably from Iraq, Turkey, Afghanistan,
Somalia, or Syria.
After his
Facebook post received media attention, Springare was hit with an
internal investigation on the grounds of “racial agitation”.
Springare’s warning was backed up
by Gothenburg police officer Tomas Åsenlöv, who revealed that cops were
being told to implement Code 291 rules to hide “all information about
the immigration-related crime.”
If
the establishment left really wants to hijack Trump’s gaffe about a
Swedish “incident” to start an argument about the wonderful impact mass
immigration has had on Sweden, it’s going to lose….badly.
