RUTHFULLY YOURS

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he hopes that tens of thousands of Syrian refugees admitted into his country “will be soon able to join our middle class” through “offering them the same things we offer to all our citizens, a real and fair chance at success for everyone.”

In his Tuesday speech to the UN General Assembly, Trudeau said that to allay the anxiety of people everywhere “we need to create economic growth that is broadly shared, because a fair and successful world is a peaceful one.”

“We need to focus on what brings us together, not on what divides us. For Canada, that means reengaging in global affairs through institutions like the United Nations,” he said. “It doesn’t serve our interests or the world’s to pretend we’re not deeply affected by what happens beyond our borders.”

The prime minister said Canada “got a very important thing right… we see diversity as a source of strength, not weakness.”

“And make no mistake, we’ve had many failures from the internment of Ukrainian, Japanese, and Italian Canadians during the world wars, to our turning away of boats of Jewish and Punjabi refugees, to the shamefully continuing marginalization of indigenous peoples. What matters is that we learned from our mistakes and recommit ourselves to doing better,” he said.

“To that end, in recent months Canadians have opened their hearts and their arms to families fleeing the ongoing conflict in Syria. And from the moment they arrived those 31,000 refugees were welcomed, not as burdens, but as neighbors and friends as new Canadians.”

French politicians seem to believe they are elected NOT to defend French people and the French nation, but to impose a “human rights ideology” on society.

The rule of law is there to protect citizens from the arbitrary actions of the State. When a group of French Muslims attacks the entire way society is constructed, the rule of law now protects only the perpetrators.

For Western leaders, “human rights” have become a kind of new religion. Like a disease, the human rights ideology has proliferated in all areas of life. The United Nations website shows a list of all the human rights that are now institutionalized: they range from “adequate housing” to “youth.” At least 42 categories of human rights fields are determined, each of which are split into two or three subcategories.

With what result? More than 140 countries (out of 193 UN members) engage in torture. The number of authoritarian countries has increased. Women remain a subordinate class in nearly all countries.

“Saudi Arabia ratified the treaty banning discrimination against women in 2007, and yet by law subordinates women to men in all areas of life. Child labour exists in countries that have ratified the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Powerful western countries, including the US, do business with grave human rights abusers.” — Eric Posner, professor at the University of Chicago Law School

Human rights, originally conceived of as an anti-discrimination tool, became a Trojan horse, a tool manipulated by Islamists and others to dismantle secularism, freedom of speech and freedom of religion in European countries.

On August 13, the Administrative Court in Nice, France, validated the decision of the Mayor of Cannes to prohibit wearing religious clothing on the beaches of Cannes. By “religious clothing,” the judge clearly seemed to be pointing his finger at the burkini, a body-covering bathing suit worn by many Muslim women.

These “Muslim textile affairs” reveal two types of jihad attacking France: one hard, one soft. The hard jihad, internationally known, consists of assassinating journalists of Charlie Hebdo (January 2015), Jewish people at the Hypercacher supermarket (January 2015) and young people at the Bataclan theater, restaurants and the Stade de France (November 2015). The hard jihad also included stabbing two policeman in Magnanville, a suburb of Paris, (June 2016); truck-ramming to death 84 people in Nice on Bastille Day (July 14), and murdering a priest in the church of Saint-Étienne-du-Rouvray, among other incidents. The goal of hard jihad, led by ISIS, al-Qaeda, and others, is to impose sharia by terror.

The soft jihad is different. It does not involve murdering people, but its final goal is the same: to impose Islam on France by covering the country in Islamic symbols — veils, burqas, burkinis and so on — at all levels of the society: in schools, universities, hospitals, corporations, streets, beaches, swimming pools and public transportation. By imposing the veil everywhere, soft Islamists seem to want to kill secularism, which, since escaping the grip of the Catholic Church, has become the French way of “living together.”

No one can understand secularism in France without a bit of history.

UNITED NATIONS—A global climate agreement moved closer toward taking effect by the end of the year, as 30 more nations ratified it Wednesday during a special meeting on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly.

The deal, championed by the Obama administration and struck last year in Paris among 195 countries, sets out a global plan to take steps aimed at limiting climate change. But it can enter into force only once 55 countries representing 55% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions—the main cause for a steady rise in global temperatures—have ratified it.

As of Wednesday, one of the two conditions—the number of countries—was met, as 60 countries have now ratified it, representing 47.7% of global greenhouse gas emissions. The world’s biggest greenhouse gas emitters—the U.S. and China—ratified the deal earlier this month. A further 13 countries committed to ratify the deal by the end of the year.

“I’m evermore confident that the Paris agreement will enter into force this year,” United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, said during the event Wednesday.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry thanked the “warriors for the planet” for taking action, noting that the months of July and August were “the hottest months ever recorded on the planet,” and expressed hope that the Paris deal will enter into force before the next U.N. meeting on climate change in Marrakesh, Morocco, in November.

If the agreement enters into force this year, the U.S. would be prevented from pulling out for 4 years, potentially binding the hands of the next president—even if he or she was intent on reversing course.

President Barack Obama sought to implement the Paris agreement, one of his legacy projects, before the end of his term.

A man with a 12-inch knife was shot and wounded Wednesday by police guarding the Israeli embassy in Turkey’s capital, officials said, bringing a swift end to a threat in a country battered by terrorist attacks.

The alleged attacker was shot in the calf by a Turkish police officer as he approached the embassy, shouting slogans and carrying the knife and a bag, Turkish officials said.

The Ankara governor’s office identified the suspect as Osman Nuri Caliskan, a 41-year old from Konya in central Turkey with no criminal record. It said Mr. Caliskan didn’t appear to have ties to any political organization and may be mentally unstable.

Mr. Caliskan was taken to a nearby hospital. All staff in the well-protected Israeli embassy were safe, said Israeli officials, who thanked Turkish police for their quick response.

BERLIN—German police said Wednesday they arrested a 16 year-old Syrian refugee with connections to Islamic State who had been planning a bomb attack, the latest in a series of arrests of suspected radical Islamists and terrorists among the over one million migrants that came to the country last year.

The teenager, who police didn’t identify in keeping with German privacy laws, had radicalized in only a few months after coming to Germany with his family in January last year, Cologne’s police chief Jürgen Mathies said in a press conference.

“This shows how fast a radicalization can unfold,” Mr. Mathies said. “The teenager changed his behavior drastically in only three months.”

Searches of the young man’s cellphone found evidence that he had been in contact with a person connected to Islamic State living abroad, prosecutors and police said.

In such chat conversations, the young man had received instructions on how to build a bomb as well as information on where explosives should be placed to have an impact, senior Cologne prosecutor Ulf Willuhn said. He also discussed whether Islam allowed the killing of nonbelievers, Mr. Willuhn said.

The teenager expressed his “unmistakable readiness” to commit such an attack, said Klaus-Stephan Becker from the Cologne police. Police, however, had no indications that he had begun to buy any of the materials needed to make explosives, Mr. Mathies said.

The arrest follows several others lately of recently arrived refugees suspected of planning terrorist acts as well as two terror attacks this summer committed by refugees.

Recent opinion polls showed rising fears among voters about further attacks as well as widespread discontent with Chancellor Angela Merkel’s decision to let in hundreds of thousands of often undocumented migrants into the country last year without even the most cursory background check.

The police of Sheraz city, Iran, put a number of Afghan refugees on public display inside steel cages as part of the police’s achievements. This action drew strong reactions from everywhere. Afghan parliamentarians protested the action calling it against human rights, human dignity, and international law.

The police of Sheraz put an exhibition of the findings and achievements of its stations on Tuesday. Among alcoholic drinks, drugs, and other criminal cases, Afghan refugees were also displayed inside cages.

The photos quickly spread through social networking websites and drew strong reactions from people around the world, especially Afghans and Iranians.

The Iranian police told its media that 277 illegal immigrants had been arrested by the police which they saw as an achievement.

But even Iranian users on social networking websites called this action wrong. Sina, an Iranian user wrote, “They are stampeding humanity, just like African-Americans were placed inside cages 200 years ago.”

Shohab, another Iranian wrote, “It is a catastrophe when you see this news on websites and read the views of commentators and discover that half of the nation supports this action, this filthy racism is completely normal for them.”

Many Iranian users condemned this action and apologized to their Afghan friends. Afghan users took the view that people and governments are separate. Behnush wrote, “The dignity of every nation is in the hands of its rulers. When the fate of our countrymen inside and outside have no importance for the leaders of our country, then we cannot complain about other countries.” He continued, “People will behave with us how we allow them to.”

Reza another Afghan who was an Iranian refugee once and is currently in Germany wrote, “Iran shares our language and religion. But non-Islamic countries treat aliens with respect. Here, humanity is what matters, nothing else.”

…

This is not the first time such actions have been taken against Afghan refugees by the Iranian government. Some time back, an Afghan girl lost her life due to the transplant laws of the country.

Muslim militants killed 26 civilians in a predominantly Christian village in the Central African Republic (CAR) after going door-to-door seeking out Christians to slaughter, Morning Star News reported.

An IDP camp at Bangui in the Central African Republic.

In what was reportedly the worst violence in the country for months, rebels from the former Seleka group – an alliance of rebel militia factions that overthrew the CAR government in March 2013 – attacked the village of Ndomete, about 220 miles north of the capital city of Bangui on Friday.

Hostility between Seleka, officially disbanded in 2013, and Christian “anti-Balaka” militias – who emerged after the 2013 coup – has increased in the past year, but government and UN officials said the attack targeted civilians.

One Christian leader from the area cast doubt on the country’s ability to bring order, telling Morning Star News: “If the government is not going to beef up the security, then we are going to defend ourselves. We shall not keep quiet as our brothers are dying.”

Fighting between Muslims and Christians worsened in 2013, when Seleka deposed the then-President Francois Bozize and installed Michel Djotodia, a Muslim. Djotodia announced the disbanding of Seleka in September 2013, but rebels have since rampaged throughout the country, killing Christians and political enemies. Christian militia groups have formed in response.

Human Rights Watch has documented executions, rape and looting by ex-Seleka fighters. In May 2014, rebels killed 11 people in a grenade and shooting attack at the Church of Fatima in Bangui.

In February, the former prime minister Faustin-Archange Touadera was elected president, bringing hope that political and religious conflict would subside. But rebel and militia fighters are still active throughout the country outside the capital.

French authorities have made eight new arrests in connection with the Bastille Day truck attack in Nice that left 86 people dead, the Paris prosecutor’s office said Tuesday.

The office said the suspects detained Monday were French and Tunisian and had links to the attacker, Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel, who plowed a 19-ton truck down Nice’s Promenade des Anglais and into a crowd assembled for a July 14 fireworks display. All eight were arrested in the Alpes-Maritimes region in the southeastern corner of France that includes Nice.

At least five people already face preliminary terrorism charges in the attack, and are accused of helping Bouhlel obtain a pistol and providing other support. It wasn’t immediately clear what the men arrested this week are suspected of.

The Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for the July 14 attack. French authorities say Bouhlel, a Tunisian with French residency, was inspired by the extremist group’s propaganda, but they say no evidence has been found that IS orchestrated the attack.

France remains under a state of emergency after the Nice killings and IS attacks on Paris last year. Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said Tuesday that the threat to France is higher than ever. He said about 300 people have been arrested in investigations into extremist networks so far this year, according to his office.

Also Tuesday, authorities detained two boys, 14 and 17, in an investigation into a hoax hostage alert at a Paris church, the prosecutor’s office said. The false alarm Saturday prompted a big police deployment and activation of an app-based terrorism alert system. A 16-year-old detained Monday remains in custody.

The government is seeking financial compensation from the perpetrators for wasting security services’ time and money, and scaring the public unnecessarily. Obs magazine reported it was a case of “swatting,” where hoaxers make anonymous threats to trigger a response from police and SWAT teams.

Soon after POTUS aka Barack Hussein Obama was elected President of the United States he was awarded with the Nobel Peace Prize, not actually for anything he had done, but for his “extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.”. There were great expectations from the man of a white American mother and black African (Kenyan) father, the first non-Caucasian to be elected President.

Yesterday, Obama made his last speech to the United Nations General Assembly as American President, and he didn’t have much good to say about the state of the world.

The speech – described by White House officials as a capstone of his foreign policy – left few major powers unscathed. He criticized France for its targeting of traditional Muslim dress, Russia for its quest to “recover lost glory through force,” China for denying democracy to its people and Israel for its continued “occupation and settlement of Palestinian lands.”

But Obama spent little time on any single conflict, instead speaking in general terms of the dangers facing an international system he has long advocated as the guarantor of world peace. There are “deep fault lines in the existing international order,” exposed by the turbulent forces of globalization, he warned. Jerusalem Post

I guess you can say that means he has admitted that he had failed miserably, although I don’t think that he actually admitted any responsibility. I guess he won’t be returning his Nobel Peace Prize… What do you think?
