Bengaluru, India – The ban on hijab in colleges in the southern Indian state of Karnataka has triggered a major row amid growing concerns that the attacks on Muslim symbols and practices are part of the larger Hindu far-right agenda of imposing majoritarian values on minorities.

The country’s 200 million Muslim minority community fear the ban on hijab violates their religious freedom guaranteed under India’s constitution. The US ambassador-at-large for International Religious Freedom on Friday said the hijab ban would stigmatise and marginalise women and girls.

• In a message directed at the Biden administration and the other Western powers involved in the Vienna negotiations, the Arab countries said that Iran and its terrorist militias are continuing to create chaos and instability, especially in Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Lebanon.
• The Arabs, including the Arab League, are telling the Biden administration that, in their view, it is not only Iran that threatens their security, but also its terrorist proxies, including Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, and the Houthis.

THIS IS A MUST READ.

After nearly two weeks of fighting, total media chaos and propaganda, each nation joining one side or the other of a sanctions regime, and now huge supply chain and global energy crises, the diagnosis of the conflict in Ukraine as the catalyst of a new geopolitical order is proving correct. On Tuesday, March 8^th the Biden regime announced they would be suspending oil imports as well as other key energy sources from the Russian Federation and on the same day President Putin announced suspension of exports to a pending list of “hostile nations” with the US being, presumably, at the top.

Leftists see Nazis, Nazis everywhere. Everyone who opposes the Left’s agenda is a Nazi. Anyone who stands for freedom and human rights against their jihadi allies is a Nazi. If someone, even an agent provocateur, carries a Nazi flag into a demonstration, then automatically everyone there is a Nazi, and the cause itself is a Nazi one. We saw this recently with the Freedom Convoy in Canada, where someone, likely a government or Leftist plant, carried a Nazi flag around, and even though the real protestors told him to leave and made sure he did so, Justin Trudeau and his henchmen immediately began to claim that the entire Freedom Convoy was a Nazi enterprise that must be disavowed by all decent people.

T. Belman. Like I have been saying, the Ukraine War will break down the unity of the west.

This was first published on Mar 3/22 and already it has 5.8 million hits

T. Belman. Israel never had “hopes of a serious deal”.  I have read that Biden is even prepared to allow Russia to trade through this deal which completely upends the trade  sanctions currently affecting Russia. Biden even has to forego pressuring Saudi Arabia and UAE to increase production as they are marching to Putin’s drummer.

So what is in this deal that impels it forward.  Is it solely for the west to be able to sell things to Iran and for Iran to have the money to pay for such things and many other things like terrorism.  Obviously, trade with Russia and Iran is more important than Ukraine or Israel to the west.

FLAME

President Biden last year called for a renewal of the Iran nuclear talks aimed at reaching a new, “longer and stronger” agreement to prevent the ayatollahs from going nuclear. By all accounts the negotiations are going poorly for the U.S. . . . and for all nations that wish to see Iran’s nuclear and terrorist ambitions reined in.

But since—outrageously—the Iranians refuse to speak directly with U.S. representatives, our role is greatly diminished. We’re now relying largely on a Russian diplomat who has assumed a leading role in the Vienna negotiations.

JaFaJa Intelligence    Mar 15/22

1. Summary: JaFaJ intelligence assets in Lebanon have confirmed that the Iran-backed and controlled Hezbollah terror group will be launching massive cyber attacks on banks in selected and targeted Gulf states. The attacks have already been commissioned by the Iranian intelligence and handed down to Hezbollah, Iran’s proxy in Lebanon. The attacks have a purpose: to wreak havoc across the banking systems of certain Arab Gulf countries, with a focus being countries opposed to Iran and their actions.

JaFaj sources have clearly stated that the focus is on both Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The attacks are designed to disrupt their financial systems as well as steal significant financial information on governments, officials, and other individuals of interest to Iran. Knowing full well that they will be blamed, Iran has taken precautions to ensure that the criminal attacks cannot be “traced back to them,” as a result, they can not be held criminally liable.

A UAV attack in the middle of February reportedly caused major damage to Iran’s drone fleet, prompting Iran to fire missiles this week at a site in Iraq that it claims was an Israeli intelligence base.

Hundreds of drones are assessed to have been destroyed in the attack on an airbase near Kermanshah, in Western Iran, Haaretz reported Tuesday, without citing sources for the extent of the damage.

Nine of 10 bills filed in six states seeking to audit 2020 election results—including three that would have nullified Joe Biden’s victory—have fallen by the wayside as legislative sessions wind down.

Seven bills seeking 2020 general elec­tion audits were filed in four states, Flor­ida, New Hamp­shire, South Caro­lina, and Tennessee. Only a New Hampshire measure proposing a review of one county’s 2020 results remains on the docket.

What does Israel owe Ukraine?

By Daniel Greenfield, FPM    Mar 15/22>

Ukraine’s ambassador to Israel is not happy. Ambassador Korniychuk has demanded that Israel cut off all business dealings with Russia. Meanwhile Ukraine’s business dealings with Iran rose over 30% and reached nearly $2 billion. Iranian exports to Ukraine increased by 40%.

That means Iran is literally financing Islamic terrorism against Israel. And genocide.

Tierney’s REAL News (3/14/22)

Finally, a Trump insider confirmed my theory that this is a war between a group of nations who want to remain free and the atheist globalists who want to control the world. It’s the GREAT RESIST vs the GREAT RESET. It is a battle for control of the world’s people and our money supply – which is driven by the US dollar:

GENERAL FLYNN: “Someone like Vladimir Putin has now upset the balance of the New World Order – that the New World Order were trying to achieve – by going into Ukraine.

I’m probably the last person who would be a Putin apologist. I’m not. But what I do understand are the dynamics that are playing out in Ukraine. All of what we are seeing play out in Europe right now is an upsetting of the balance of the world order – as they want it….people like Dr. Harari, and Klaus Schwab & Bill Gates & others.

T. Belman. My take away is that Russia, not the US, controls the ME despite the total capitulation to Iran by the US.

T. Belman. All well and good but Israel should not depend on anyone else. Israel should get on with the job of restoring our sovereignty.  Israel should be very aggressive in tearing down all illegal Arab construction and preventing further construction. It should not permit the European countries to fund this activity.

Area C is under full Israeli control but has been subjected to massive illegal Palestinian construction, financed by the European Union.

By Aryeh Savir, TPS

European Members of Parliaments from the Netherlands and Belgium have announced they will battle the European Union’s (EU) massive financing of the Palestinian Authority’s (PA) illegal takeover of Area C in Judea and Samaria.

Area C is under full Israeli control as per the Oslo Accords and has been subjected to a Palestinian campaign to gain control of the area a campaign financed by the EU and almost uncontested by the Israeli government.

Despite the fact that there is massive evidence of irregularities, anomalies, and voter fraud in the swing states in the 2020 election it is now clear that no state or federal court, no state or federal legislative body, and no regulatory agency is going to examine and evaluate this massive fraud.

Those who rightfully believe that the results of the 2020 Presidential election should be overturned and that Donald Trump should be reinstated as President of the United States, need to recognize that between the corporately owned fake news media insistence that no voter fraud exists, and the unwillingness of any of these establishment controlled entities being willing to even examine the bogus results, as well as because of the entire lack of any legal precedent, Donald Trump will not be restored to his rightful place in the White House by any Court or State body and the decertification of electors in any state-regardless of how flagrant the voter fraud-is unlikely.
