T. Belman.  You asked for it. You got it. Canada also promoted the same multicultural and diversity crap in the seventies. What was wrong with the US melting pot.

Now Sweden fears being replaced by immigration. Li ke a drunkard in the morning, Sweden wakes up to the sad reality. Op-ed.

By Giulio Meotti, INN

Swedish Prime Minister (1946-69) Tage Erlander in 1967 declared in response to the racial riots in the slums of Los Angeles that “we Swedes live in such an infinitely happier situation. The population in our country is homogeneous, not only in terms of race, but also in many other aspects ”.

In 1975 the country introduced multiculturalism with Social Democratic Prime Minister Olof Palme rejecting assimilation in favor of policies that encouraged minorities to maintain separate identities. It was part of the famous “freedom” of the Swedes, free to do and undo everything, from the family to the nation.

In May 2021, the U.N. Human Rights Council established an “ongoing independent, international Commission of Inquiry” to investigate “all alleged violations of international humanitarian law and all alleged violations and abuses of international human rights law leading up to and since April 13, 2021, in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and all underlying root causes of recurrent tensions, instability, and protraction of conflict, including systematic discrimination and repression based on national, ethnic, racial, or religious identity.”

“We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded. “Barack Obama, 2008 Campaign Preface:Barack Obama, the underhanded insurrectionist that he is, called for a loyal army that could go against the civilian population…a Civilian National Security Force.  Did the Democrats just fund it?…87,000 new armed IRS agents?  It doubles the personnel at the IRS to around 180,000.  It’s equal to 12 Army divisions (13 divisions if you include the number of FBI special agents, Biden’s personal army).  It would be larger than the army of Germany, Italy, or even Israel.  Hitler’s Gestapo (secret state police) had only 32,000 at its height.  Additionally, the IRS is infamous for ignoring basic due process rights, harassment without cause, and accidental gun discharges.

Who was really responsible for the recent assassination attempt on Salman Rushdie?  While “mainstream media” spent a fair bit of time clearing their throat and searching for a “motive,” many remembered that in 1989, the then supreme leader of Iran, the Ayatollah Khomeini, had issued a fatwa, an Islamic edict, calling for the slaying of Rushdie, for having “insulted” the prophet of Islam in his 1988 novel, The Satanic Verses.In reality, fatwa or no fatwa, Muslims have been attacking and slaughtering those perceived to “blaspheme” against the prophet of Islam for nearly a millennium and a half, simply because Muhammad himself institutionalized the practice.

In an interview Wednesday, the president of USA Gymnastics announced plans to boycott states that have limited abortion because pro-life views do not align with USAG’s values.

Speaking with the Associated Press, USAG president Li Li Leung said abortion laws will be a major factor in whether a state is chosen to host future events.

“We want to be able to align with cities and locations that are also aligned with our value system,” Leung said.

A Conversation With Islamic Reformer Dr. Tawfik Hamid

By Joseph Puder, FPM    19.8.22

The assassination of al-Qaeda second-in-command Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri reminded this reporter of his friend Dr. Tawfik Hamid who was recruited by al-Zawahiri while being a medical student at Cairo University. Few people share as an incredible biography as Dr. Hamid. His father, an orthopedic surgeon was a secular Muslim, and Tawfik grew up in a cultured environment where tolerance and openness were major features. Dr. Hamid soon discovered the evil nature of Egypt’s al-Jama’a al-Islamiyya and their closed-mindedness. He subsequently moved far away to New Zealand. He recognized the threat posed by radical Islam, and started to teach peaceful interpretations of classical Islamic core texts. Dr. Hamid earned two higher degrees, one in Internal Medicine, which includes psychiatry, and the second in Cognitive Psychology. Dr. Tawfik Hamid is a physician, educator, Islamic thinker and reformer.

• The [Harvard Belfer Center] report, “The Great Economic Rivalry: China Vs. the US,” predicts that at the current rate China will overtake the US economically within a decade.
• When it comes to trade, China has now displaced the US. “When this century began, China was knocking on the door of the WTO and the U.S. was the leading trading partner of most major economies. Today, China has overtaken the U.S. to become the largest trading partner for nearly every major nation… by 2018, 130 countries traded more with China than they did with the U.S…..” — The Belfer Report.

Trudeau kept citing science as supporting the mandates. They were sued and in court they were unable to identify the scviednce. Records showed that first theyh imposed the mandate and then looked for the science but it was not to be found. Also all witnesses for the government were scripted because they didn’t have a clue.

After multiple failed rounds of nuclear diplomacy in Vienna and Doha, talks between Iran and the P5+1 (the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Russia, and China) are back on in Vienna. The revived talks first hit a snag earlier this year when Tehran raised several new demands, including the removal of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) from the State Department’s Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTO) list.¹ Washington initially balked but reportedly then acquiesced to a partial solution: removing secondary sanctions on companies doing business with the IRGC.²

• The more US agricultural technology China acquires, especially through theft, in order to become dominant in the agritech field, the worse the US will fare when it comes to selling its own technology, whether to China or third countries.
• The specific goal is for China to be able to satisfy 95% of its demand for agricultural machinery with equipment that is manufactured in China. According to the USCC report, those policies, underpinned in part by technological theft, have negatively affected US exports to China of agricultural equipment….

The PA president’s remarks in Berlin reconfirm his abiding rejection of Jewish history – ancient and modern, in Israel and in exile. It’s why he has failed his people and ours

By DAVID HOROVITZ, TOI     17 August 2022,

First came Yasser Arafat, who repeatedly and clear-headedly chose to forgo the opportunity of winning statehood for the Palestinian people on much of the territory they sought — notably during the Clinton administration, in negotiations with prime ministers Yitzhak Rabin and Ehud Barak. Ultimately, he could not bring himself to abandon terrorism against the Jewish state, to transition from terror chief to national leader.

Toward the end of September or early October, the process of appointing the senior Turkish diplomatic staff will end, and a new Turkish ambassador will land in Israel. As far as is known, three are vying for the position, with the guiding principle being a veteran foreign ministry professional. “It will be an ambassador who knows the area well, and the complex relationship between Turkey and Israel. The object is to pour true content in the renewed normalization, which was undermined some 12 years ago,” a senior Turkish diplomat told Haaretz.

T. Belman. I am disappointed in the responses from Bibi and Shaked. Bibi said that Likud will keep Abbas in isolation and Shaked said she was against a narrow government.  Neither said that they would extend sovereignty to Area C or demolish the thousands of illegal Arab buildings in Area C.

Likud in response: The cat is out of the bag – Lapid and Gantz are promoting dangerous concessions to Holocaust denier Mahmoud Abbas.

Former Knesset member Zehava Galon, who is running for the leadership of the Meretz Party, on Thursday condemned the statement of Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas, who accused Israel of committing “50 holocausts” against Palestinian Arabs, but claimed that Israeli officials should continue to meet with him.

In an interview with the Walla! news website, Galon revealed that Prime Minister Yair Lapid told her at a recent meeting that he “intends to reach a political settlement with the Palestinians through Abbas.”

For years the world ignored “palestinian” blood libels and hate, but Chancellor Scholz of Germany appears to be part of a growing trend of leaders willing to break ranks with “palestinian” leadership.

In a live press conference in Berlin, the chancellor made it clear in front of “palestinian” President Mahmoud Abbas, that Scholz does not “believe it is right to use the term” apartheid when describing the Israel-“palestinian” conflict. This surprised Abbas and he went on a tirade about Israel committing 50 holocausts. While Scholz did not respond to that and instead just abruptly ended the press conference, it was clear that Abbas’ comments distanced Germany.

Interior Minister Ayelet Shaked, who until recently was former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett’s No. 2 in the Yamina party, agreed on Wednesday on a joint run for the Knesset with Communications Minister Yoaz Hendel and his two-MK Derech Eretz party.

Their decision to run together as the Zionist Spirit faction in the November 1 election is seen as increasing Opposition Leader and Likud chairman Benjamin Netanyahu’s chances of returning to the Prime Minister’s Office.
