T. Belman. The western civilization should subsidize large families rather than penalize them. This will ensure the survival of western civilization not it’s end.  That’s what matters, not the planet

Population control is a way of destroying Western civilization using climate control as a ruse. The West is not overpopulated. Op-ed.

By Giulio Meotti, INN

It was 1969 when the leader of the British Labor parliamentary group, Douglas Houghton, called for state intervention to discourage births by reducing assistance and subsidies for large families, while Lord Sorensen declared: “We must encourage sterilizations”.

Meanwhile, Paul Ehrlich, a Stanford University biologist and author of “The population bomb”, predicted poverty and famine for England at a symposium at the London Institute of Biology: “If I were a player, I would bet that England will no longer exist in the year 2000 and ten to one that the standard of living of the average Englishman will be below the current one”.<

Fifty years past 1969, life expectancy in England has increased by ten years and the standard of living has undergone a radical upward transformation. Yet, the idea that population decreasing action is needed to reduce environmental impact is still at the root of all the green anthropophobic cries, including the eco-fascism of the two bombers in Christchurch, New Zealand and in El Paso, Texas.

Turkey’s war against PKK insurgents have caused large numbers of civilian deaths and displacements.

Diliman Abdulkader, co-founder of American Friends of Kurdistan, spoke to participants in a July 31 Middle East Forum Webinar (video) about the plight of Kurds in Turkey, Syria, Iraq, and Iran, and offered his recommendations for U.S. policy in each Kurdish territory.

All Kurdish communities “face discrimination from their central governments,” but their specific circumstances vary.

Michigan’s Supreme Court said Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s coronavirus executive restrictions violated the state’s constitution.

by Anthony Leonardi, WASH EXAMINER

On Friday, the state’s high court ruled in a 4-3 decision that the Democratic governor did not have the power to continue its restrictions under two laws passed in 1976 and 1945, describing the act as an “unlawful delegation of legislative power to the executive branch in violation of the Michigan Constitution.”

“Accordingly, the executive orders issued by the Governor in response to the COVID-19 pandemic now lack any basis under Michigan law,” the ruling reads.

Israel and the United States are nearing an agreement to exclude Chinese technology from the former’s 5G networks – another indication that Jerusalem is heeding Washington’s demand for a tougher stance against Beijing. As US-Sino ties continue to fray, Israel must decisively support Washington’s efforts to face down Beijing. This would serve not only America’s interests, but Israel’s as well.

Amid China’s race to overcome American regional and global dominance, there have been growing concerns in Washington over Beijing’s access to Israeli technologies. The involvement of Chinese companies in major infrastructure projects in Israel – such as the Tel Aviv Light Rail, the Carmel Tunnels, and the Ashdod and Haifa ports – have also drawn American scrutiny for potentially handing China surveillance opportunities. For instance, the decision to tap a Chinese firm to operate the Haifa Port has raised security concerns for the US Navy, whose Sixth Fleet occasionally docks nearby.

With less than a month before the November 3 election, Americans are facing serious challenges as they assess the future direction of their country.

Insurrectionist, anarchist, and communist groups such as Antifa, and Marxist/Maoist groups led by Black Lives Matter (BLM), are rioting, looting, and burning down mostly Democrat-run cities, and attacking and harassing individuals at random. They claim their violence is justified by the lack of “social justice” in America, and is compounded by “social inequality” and “systemic racism”. These groups are also given encouragement and support, either directly and indirectly, by the Democrat party in order to increase confusion and nourish the seeds of a racial war. The rioters are enabled by the Democrat mayors and governors in the states they are attacking, and even by Democrat candidates, up to and including the Democrat Vice Presidential candidate Kamala Harris.

For the second time in three months, Armenia and Azerbaijan are involved in heavy fighting. To even casual observers of the region, this is nothing new: flareups in this supposedly “frozen” conflict have been commonplace in the past decade. The only problem seems to be that they tend to get worse over time. But reality is much more worrisome. The conflict is all but “frozen.” In the past few years, the entire premise on which the uneasy balance in this conflict rested has essentially been razed, paving the way for a new logic of escalation in which the likelihood of a major war is increasingly obvious.

Much of the coverage of this conflict centers on who started whichever spat. This is largely irrelevant. Much more important are three major changes to the conflict’s underlying logic. The first is the broader erosion of a norms-based international system based on international law and institutions. The second is the merger of the region’s geopolitics with the Middle East. And the third is Armenia’s shift to a revisionist approach to the conflict and negotiations since the 2018 Velvet revolution.

Israel’s interests lie in supporting Azerbaijan

Israel must stand with little Armenia against Turkish Jihad

T. Belman. “The idea is to move Europe toward an alliance with Russia and China by breaking the Western alliance with the U.S.” I don’t like this. I want the US and Russia to be partners in the far east.

Introduction

In the last decade, the main leitmotif of China’s and Russia’s policy has been the creation of a multipolar world order. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, during his September 11, 2020 meeting with his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov in Moscow, stressed again that the multi-polarization of the world is an inevitable trend in the development of human society.[1] A few days later, Lavrov stated that the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) has put forth a number of important initiatives toward creating a new multipolar world.[2]

By Russian Military Expert Viktor Baranets:
October 5, 2020

Commenting on the escalating conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan, the Russian colonel (ret.) Viktor Baranets commented on the question whether Yerevan could use Russia’s military base in Gyumri. Baranets wrote that Russia has not signed any document that obligates it to ensure the security of Nagorno-Karabakh. However, if Azerbaijan or Turkey were to invade Armenian territory proper, “this would be an entirely different question.”

Below is Baranets’ article in Komsomolskaya Pravda:[1]

Viktor Baranets (Source: Topwar.ru)

The Russian Military Base Is An Integral Part Of Armenia’s Security System

“The Russian military base is an integral part of Armenia’s security system, stated [Armenian] Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan. He assumed that in ‘specific situations’ the base’s capabilities could be used. According to him, at this current stage of the large-scale war in the Karabakh conflict zone, such a necessity has not yet emerged. ‘But situation is unpredictable, and no one can precisely forecast its further development,’ said Pashinyan.

Joe Biden (D) holds an eight-point advantage over President Trump in the swing state Arizona, a New York Times-Siena College poll released Monday revealed.

The former vice president is leading Trump in the Grand Canyon State, 49 percent to 41 percent, the survey fielded October 1-3 among 655 Arizona likely voters revealed. Three percent chose Libertarian candidate Jo Jorgensen, and six percent indicated that they were undecided:

“Have you decided you’ll definitely vote for [CANDIDATE NAME] or is there still some chance you could change your mind?” the survey asked.

DEBKA

Iran like Turkey consistently supports Azerbaijan, the fourth Shiite Islamic majority nation in the world, while refraining from roundly condemning Christian Armenia, at a time that the two Caucasian nations are locked in fierce combat over the Nagorno Karabakh enclave. The fighting this week escalated to reciprocal attacks on their major cities.

Iran, whose supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is an ethnic Azeri, is home to four Azeri-speaking northwestern provinces, to which some separatist extremists refer as “South Azerbaijan.” Encouraging them could spark secessionist movements among Iran’s other minority groups.  So while Iranian officials have voiced support for Azerbaijan’s integrity – Nagorno Karabakh was internationally recognized as part of its territory although the majority of it population are Armenian Christians – they did not echo Azeri lawmakers in Tehran, who this week accused Armenia of forming “an evil Islamophobic trio in the region” with Israel and the United States.

T. Belman. Zisser points out what I have recently said. Not only Lebanon but Syria as well are ready to board the Sunni, peace with Israel, train.

For years, Beirut shied away from any talks with Israel, so as not to lend it even a semblance of recognition. Then came the economic crisis.

By Prof. Eyal Zisser, ISRAEL HAYOM

Direct talks between Israel and Lebanon are slated to begin next week over the maritime border between the two countries. Finagling an agreement will allow Lebanon to explore offshore gas fields, and potentially produce and sell gas, as Israel has long done.

Negotiations on the demarcation of the offshore border could have taken place a decade ago when large gas fields were discovered in the waters of the Mediterranean. But Lebanon dragged its feet and refused any contact with Israel, as part of the notion that the very existence of negotiations between the two countries constitutes some sort of legitimization of Israel’s existence.

The failure to withstand supremacist Islam is dhimmitude or death

By Victor Sharpe, RENEW AMERICA

Serbia’s troubles with Kosovo parallel Israel’s problems with the terrorist Palestinian Authority. It is very fitting that Serbia and Israel should have political, economic and cultural ties as the similarities between each of the embattled nations are considerable and significant in historical terms. Like the ancient Land of Israel and the modern Jewish state of Israel, Serbia has a magnificent yet tragic history. Both peoples have suffered from Islamic threats, aggression and an uncaring and, too often, hostile world as during World War 2.

In the 14th century, the Byzantine Empire began to crumble, finally falling to the Ottoman Turks in 1453. But in 1389, the Ottoman Turkish sultan, Murad, had begun to lead his Muslim horde against the armies of the Serbian Christian prince Lazar.

T. Belman. This conflict presents Israel with a dilemma, She is naturally friendly with Christian Armenia and empathizes with her because of the Armenian holocaust perpetrated by the Turks. At the same time she is friendly with Shiite Azerbaijan who cooperates with her  when she attacks Iran i.e., they allow Israeli fighter jets to land on their way to Iran.

America must assure Russia military support now, thereby neutralizing Turkey’s prevention of Russian sea passage in the Straits. Op-ed.

Bosporus River crossing in Istanbul-photo HLJ

On June 28, 1914, Garvilo Princip, a Serbian Nationalist, assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria in the hope of somehow causing Austria to cede the areas of Bosnia/Kosovo to Russian Orthodox Serbia. Instead, the assassination set off a concatenation of events that inexorably led to World War I. The various post-assassination national cross-demands and ultimatums triggered various mutual defense treaties which accelerated the conflict like a row of cascading falling dominos.
