Stunning Claim on Real Reason for Holocaust

/0 Comments/in , /by

The man on whom Israel and the United States have depended to forge an agreement in which two states would live side-by-side in peace declared Monday that the “social behavior” of Jews, including money lending, was the true cause of the Holocaust.

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, in a rare session of the Palestinian National Council, launched into a rambling “history lesson” aimed at disproving the 3,000 year-old Jewish connection to the land of Israel, reported the Times of Israel. . .

The Holocaust, he said, was not the result of anti-Semitism but of the Jews’ “social behavior, [charging] interest, and financial matters.” . . .

Israel-based Palestinian Media Watch found last month that PA TV broadcasts edited out photographs of American soldiers liberating concentration camps and images of corpses in striped concentration camp uniforms, presenting photos of the remaining dead bodies as “Arab victims of Jews in 1948.” . . .

“They also obscure an important fact: Palestinian Arab leaders, such as Haj Amin al-Husseini, actively colluded with Hitler and sought the destruction of worldwide Jewry.” The Middle East media watchdog CAMERA noted that in a Dec. 27, 2017, Washington Jewish Week op-ed, Abbas called Husseini “a pioneer.” (Read more from “Stunning Claim on Real Reason for Holocaust” HERE)

Trump Takes Massive Stand for Christians Against Islamist Butchers

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Conservative Tribune. When Trump stood on the White House lawn on Monday for a joint news conference with the president of Nigeria, he made a statement supporting Christians on the continent that drew little notice from the White House press corps, but echoed for religious communities around the world. . .

In the appearance with Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari, Trump deplored the ongoing religious attacks on churches in Nigeria by mainly Muslim herdsmen from the dominant Fulani tribe.

“We are deeply concerned by religious violence in Nigeria including the burning of churches and the killing and persecution of Christians. It’s a horrible story,” Trump said, according to Christianity Today.

“We encourage Nigeria and the federal state and local leaders to do everything in their power to immediately secure the affected communities and to protect innocent civilians of all faiths, including Muslims, and including Christians.”

To most American listeners, that might have sounded like an even-handed statement. But it probably carried a good deal of meaning to Christian churches in Africa as well as the Muslim government of Nigeria. Because in Nigeria today, the news is more about Muslims butchering Christians rather than the other way around.

Trump Tells Nigeria’s President Church Attacks Must Stop

By Christianity Today. President Donald Trump repeatedly spoke up for beleaguered Christians in Nigeria at a White House meeting today with the country’s president, Muhammadu Buhari, who’s currently under fire for not doing more to stop ongoing sectarian attacks by militant Fulani herdsmen. . .

The President praised Buhari’s efforts to fight ISIS and Boko Haram in the West African nation, but Fulani herdsmen have recently outpaced both as the deadliest terror force in Nigeria.

Officials believe the nomadic majority-Muslim herders are responsible for last Tuesday’s attack that killed 19 people during a Catholic mass and destroyed dozens of homes. The violence in Benue state continued last week with fatal late-night attacks on Christians’ homes and another church, where Christians were taking refuge. Hundreds have been killed so far this year.

Trump’s meeting with Buhari comes just one day after the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) organized national protests “asking the federal government and the security agencies to stop the unending killings and bloodshed in the country.” (Read more from “Trump Tells Nigeria’s President Church Attacks Must Stop” HERE)

Central American Caravan Hits U.S. for Asylum but Didn’t Get the Answer They Expected This Time

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Bizpac Review. About 50 members of the Central American caravan that marched through Mexico are asking for asylum in the United States, but border officials told them the port of entry is full.

Alex Mensing helped organize the caravan with the group Pueblos Sin Fronteras (translation: “villages without borders”). Mensing said U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) told him there’s no more room for asylum seekers right now. So the fate of the “asylum seekers” currently hangs in the balance.

Mensing told BuzzFeed: “CBP officials said, ‘We are at capacity. At this time we cannot accept any more asylum-seekers; you can wait on one side.’ So the asylum-seekers are next to the door waiting for whenever it is CBP is capable of receiving asylum-seekers.”

The caravan initially started off as a throng of 1,200 to 1,500 people, but has since winnowed down after President Trump asked Mexico to intervene and break up the horde of unemployed refugees.

As of April 29, U.S. border officials have not allowed the vagrants to apply for asylum. After all, they are not political refugees because there’s no war going on in Mexico, nor are they targets of religious persecution.

U.S. Officials Still Have Not Allowed Members of the Central American Caravan to Apply for Asylum

By Buzzfeed. On Sunday evening, about 50 asylum-seekers who have made their way through Mexico as part of a caravan of Central Americans walked into the San Ysidro Port of Entry, just south of San Diego, but US border authorities have not allowed them to ask for asylum.

The caravan started with about 1,200 to 1,500 people and on Sunday about 40 presented themselves at San Ysidro in the United States to ask for asylum, citing violence and political oppression. As of Sunday evening, the US border authorities had still not allowed them to apply for asylum . . .

“CBP officials said, ‘We are at capacity — at this time we cannot accept any more asylum-seekers; you can wait on one side,'” Mensing said. “So the asylum-seekers are next to the door waiting for whenever it is CBP is capable of receiving asylum-seekers.” (Read more from “Us Officials Still Have Not Allowed Members of the Central American Caravan to Apply for Asylum” HERE)

Country Orders Crosses on All State Buildings

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The German state of Bavaria ordered all government buildings to display a cross at their entrance, the latest move in the predominantly Catholic region against the recent influx of migrants.

“The cross is a fundamental symbol of our Bavarian identity and way of life,” said Bavaria’s new leader, Markus Söder, as he hung a cross in the lobby of the government’s headquarters in Munich, directly after the rule was passed.

The action, which goes into effect June 1, comes as Germany grapples with integrating more than 1 million immigrants, mostly from the Middle East and Africa. In 2015, German Chancellor Angela Merkel opened the nation’s borders to mostly Muslim refugees, setting off criticism — even in her own conservative Christian bloc — over the “Islamization” of the nation.

Hanging crosses in public buildings is “a visible commitment to the basic values of the legal and social order in Bavaria and Germany,” the state government said in a statement . . .

“Islam doesn’t belong to Germany,” Interior Minister Horst Seehofer told the German daily newspaper Bild last month. “The Muslims who live with us here are, of course, a part of Germany, but this doesn’t mean that we have to falsely consider giving up our country-specific traditions and customs.” (Read more from “Country Orders Crosses on All State Buildings” HERE)

Biblically Illiterate Pope Calls for Worldwide Ban of All Weapons

/0 Comments/in , /by

Today on Twitter, the head of the Roman Catholic Church called for a ban on all weapons. Pope Francis asserted that the mere presence of weapons makes us constantly live in fear of war.

Other Popes have acknowledged that weapons do indeed create a certain environment of fear. Church leaders have called for bans on certain types on weapons, such as nuclear weapons, but none have called for an outright ban on all weapons. The naiveté of this comment is pretty remarkable for several reasons. Surely, in an ideal world weapons would not be needed as humans would live in peace. But, the Pope’s comment, taken alone, neglects to recognize the spiritual warfare that rages in mankind’s hearts in the battle against the devil. It is ultimately mankind’s failure in this struggle that creates the bloodshed and destruction found in the world today. . .

Furthermore, how exactly would this ban be enforced? Would the United Nations oversee the destruction of all weapons with weapons of their own? Then would this world power be entrusted to willingly destroy their own weapons? Banning all weapons is such a preposterous suggestion it is not even worth going down the rabbit hole trying to figure out the logistics of it.

New Fukushima Nightmare for Japan Utility

/0 Comments/in , /by

There’s a building boom going on at the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan where on March 11, 2011, as the coast was catastrophically flooded by an earthquake-triggered tsunami, three of the six reactors melted down . . .

Tepco, which owns the site, has built hundreds of massive storage tanks to hold the radioactive water that is leaking from the disaster . . .

The report explained there have been improvements in the filtering system since the disaster seven years ago, but none of the processes so far has been able to catch tritium, a radioactive isotope of hydrogen . . .

“Some of those tanks and pipes will eventually fail. It’s inevitable,” Dale Klein, a former head of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, told the publication.

Klein says the concentrations are low enough that the water can safely be released into the sea, Wired reported, but “the notion of dumping tons of radioactive water into the ocean is understandably a tough sell.” (Read more from “New Fukushima Nightmare for Japan Utility” HERE)

This Is the Only Way North Korea Will Abandon Nuclear Weapons

/0 Comments/in , /by

By The Blaze. North Korea leader Kim Jong-un told South Korea President Moon Jae-in that he would abandon his nuclear weapons if the United States will formally end the Korean War and promise not to invade his country, the South Korean government announced Sunday. . .

The announcement was declared a confidence-building gesture ahead of a proposed summit meeting in May with President Donald Trump, the New York Times reported. Kim also claimed he would invite experts and journalists from South Korea and the United States to watch the shutdown his country’s only known underground nuclear test site.

Members of the Trump administration were cautious about the possibility of reaching a deal, the report stated. A plan to dismantle North Korea’s nuclear program is expected to span a period of about two years.

John Bolton, Trump’s new national security adviser, said that would be accompanied by a “full, complete, total disclosure of everything related to their nuclear program with a full international verification,” according to the report.

Still, an apparent concession was categorized by U.S. officials as a promising sign in the quest to end a standoff on the Koren Peninsula that has remained in place since the end of the Korean War 65 years ago. (Read more from “This Is the Only Way North Korea Will Abandon Nuclear Weapons” HERE)

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman: Palestinians Need to Negotiate or ‘Shut up and Stop Complaining’

/0 Comments/in , /by

By The Daily Wire. According to Barak Ravid of Israel’s Channel 10 News and Axios, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman shocked Jewish attendees during a meeting in New York in March, saying:

In the last several decades the Palestinian leadership has missed one opportunity after the other and rejected all the peace proposals it was given. It is about time the Palestinians take the proposals and agree to come to the negotiations table or shut up and stop complaining.

Bin Salman also slammed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, reports Ravid, citing inside sources.

Mohammed Bin Salman has risen to fame on a rocket after he was made Crown Prince in June 2017. Since he came to power, bin Salman has begun to open up the nation to more Western values — if only by inches.

Saudi Crown Prince: Palestinians Should Take What the U.S. Offers

By Axios. In a closed-door meeting with heads of Jewish organizations in New York on March 27th, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman (MBS) gave harsh criticism of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen), according to an Israeli foreign ministry cable sent by a diplomat from the Israeli consulate in New York, as well three sources — Israeli and American — who were briefed about the meeting.

The bottom line of the crown prince’s criticism: Palestinian leadership needs to finally take the proposals it gets from the U.S. or stop complaining . . .

What we’re hearing: A source who was briefed on the meeting told me the attendees were stunned when they heard the Saudi Crown Prince comments on the Palestinian issue. “People literally fell off their chairs,” the source said.

Why it matters: In the last year, the Trump administration has been drafting a plan for Israeli-Palestinian peace. The White House peace team, led by Trump’s senior adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner and special envoy Jason Greenblatt, has basically finished drafting the plan and is discussing how and when to launch it.

By BBC. Friday’s summit between the leaders of North and South Korea was a “historic meeting” paving the way for the start of a new era, North Korea’s media say.

Watch: U.S. Army Completely Humiliates ISIS, Releases Seized ‘Bloopers Tape’

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Conservative Tribune. One of the ways the Islamic State group made its mark on the international terrorism of the 21st century was through its savvy release of videos celebrating the kind of depravity decent people are repelled by.

But a compilation video released this week by the U.S. military shows a different side of the once-fearsome fighting group — and gives viewers a pretty good idea of why they abandoned the battlefield in droves once President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary James Mattis decided to teach them that war is for keeps.

According to Stars and Stripes, the four-minute video is made up of hours of footage capture of special operations forces. There’s no audio, but as one social media user pointed out on YouTube, it wouldn’t be hard to imagine the “Yakety Sax” theme song from “Benny Hill” playing in the background . . .

That last one is especially disturbing. It’s easy to forget now that the Islamic State group savages have been essentially destroyed, but it wasn’t that long ago, on President Barack Obama’s watch that they looked like world-beaters.

Vast swaths of Iraq and Syria were under Islamic State group control, and killers in Europe and the United States were pledging allegiance to the group while carrying out their bloody operations. (Read more from “Watch: U.S. Army Completely Humiliates ISIS, Releases Seized ‘Bloopers Tape’” HERE)

ISIS Fighters Display Less-Than-Stellar Leapfrogging, Martial Arts Skills in Seized Videos

By Stars and Stripes. Islamic State propaganda videos seized by the U.S. appear to show masked militants training inside a mosque in northwestern Afghanistan, doing pushups, playing leapfrog and bunny hopping.

The four-minute compilation, released last week by the U.S.-led special operations task force in the country, seems aimed at undermining the group’s fearsome reputation. It resembles a selection of comical outtakes.

The video features camouflage-clad fighters performing calisthenics, demonstrating dubious martial arts skills and facing off in rows to practice firing positions with their Kalashnikov rifles.

At one point, the compilation shows several clips of a man flanked by two gunmen as he gestures and points, somewhat like an insurgent Uncle Sam. In the background, men box and others wave ISIS flags. (Read more from “Isis Fighters Display Less-Than-Stellar Leapfrogging, Martial Arts Skills in Seized Videos” HERE)
