NBN: Australia Has Slower Internet Than Kenya

(Bloomberg article from The SYDNEY MORNING HERALD on 04 October 2017.)

Only true-blue Aussies would get this cartoon.

The $49 billion National Broadband Network was meant to spearhead a digital revolution. Instead, the botched project risks becoming a poster child for government mismanagement. Australia's biggest-ever infrastructure investment has turned into a political football, plagued by cost overruns and construction delays.

With the network years behind the original schedule and only about half finished, Australia has slumped to 50th place on a global ladder of internet speeds, behind Kenya and a string of former Soviet bloc nations.

Public frustration with the project is boiling over amid mounting criticism that politics is trumping policy across a host of areas from housing to energy and damaging economic prospects. "We are really an example of how not to do it," said Paul Budde, a Sydney-based former adviser to the United Nations on the social and economic benefits of digital development. "We have ended up with the worst possible solution."

NBN: The Aussie White Elephant Is The World Slowest?

(Staff articles from The AUSTRALIAN &  The CONVERSATION in June 2017.)

Australia now stands at 50 and falling faster.

The white elephant NBN started life on a coaster on a plane: Kevin Rudd was a very busy prime minister. Weighed down by the ­affairs of state, even his most senior ministers found it hard to get an audience with him.

Once, Stephen Conroy, as broadband, communications and the digital economy minister, had to fly with him to Perth simply to meet. It was on board that VIP flight that Conroy, scribbling on a drinks coaster, persuaded the prime minister to support a proposal to spend $43 billion on a ­national broadband network. Talk about pie in the sky.

What followed, to much fanfare, was an announcement on April 7, 2009, that the Rudd government would establish a company to build and operate a “super-fast national broadband network”. This network would be built in partnership with the private sector. It would be “the single largest nation building infrastructure project in Australian history”.

Trump Border Wall: Prototypes Stop US Commandos

(AP article from The BREITBART NEWS on 19 January 2018.)

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Recent assaults by tactical teams on prototypes of President Donald Trump’s proposed wall with Mexico indicate their imposing heights should stop border crossers, a U.S. official with direct knowledge of the rigorous assessment told The Associated Press.

Military special forces based in Florida and U.S. Customs and Border Protection special units spent three weeks trying to breach and scale the eight models in San Diego, using jackhammers, saws, torches and other tools and climbing devices, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the information was not authorized for public release.

A Customs and Border Protection report on the tests identifies strengths and flaws of each design but does not pick an overall winner or rank them, though it does point to see-through steel barriers topped by concrete as the best overall design, the official said. The report recommends combining elements of each, depending on the terrain. The official likened it to a Lego design, pulling pieces from different prototypes.

Pakistan A Failed State: Living-Hell For Non-Muslims

(Rahat Austin’s article from The GATESTONE INSTITUTE on 28 January 2018.)

A Muslim-convert to Christian being burned alive in Pakistan.

According to the official results of Pakistan's 2017 census, as of August 25, 2017, the population of Islamic Republic of Pakistan is 207.74 million. The country is divided into an overwhelmingly Muslim majority of 96.28%; and the remaining 3.72% are Christian, Bahais, Buddhists, Hindus, Ahmadis, Jains, Kalasha, Parsis and Sikhs, who are identified as non-Muslim minority Pakistanis.

Religious minorities in the territory of present-day Pakistan, at the time of the partition of India in 1947, were almost 23% of Pakistan's population. But instead of their numbers increasing, they have decreased to the current 3.72%. If the Muslim population has grown, why have non-Muslim minorities not grown also?

This 23% represents millions of people; how have they vanished? According to the same census, from 1998 to 2017, Pakistan's overall population grew by 57%. Presumably, non-Muslim minorities should have increased at the same rate. Instead, their numbers have dangerously fallen.

London Crimes Soar Under Sadiq Khan’s Thought Police

(Staff article from The GUARDIAN & The BREITBART NEWS on 25 January 2018.)

Sadiq Khan turning London Met officers into Though Police.
(900+ officers now sit at computers and check Facebook posts.)

Rise in recorded crime is accelerating in England and Wales: Police figures show offences up 14% in a year, with knife and gun crime rising even more steeply. The rise in crime in England and Wales is accelerating, according to police figures, which show a 14% year-on-year increase in offences recorded by forces across England and Wales.

Knife crime has gone up even more steeply, by 21% in the 12 months to September, and gun crime has risen by 20%, according to quarterly figures released on Thursday. Police chiefs said the increases – including a 32% rise in domestic burglary to 261,965 offences and an 18% rise in vehicle-related crimes (443,577 offences) alongside the sharp rises in violent crime – marked a turning point after more than 20 years of sustained falls in these categories.

“Today’s police officers are dealing with more complex crime, more safeguarding and protecting vulnerable people and an unprecedented terror threat, as well as tackling some of the genuine rises in knife and gun crime, robbery, burglary and vehicle-related crime – crimes which turn the trend on many years of reductions,” said chief constable Bill Skelly, of the National Police Chiefs’ Council.

Muslim Imams Spewing Jews-hatred In US Mosques

Calling for the annihilation of Jews and their "Filth"

Radical imams are spewing anti-Semitism in the US with impunity: Imam Ammar Shahin called Jews "filth" during a sermon in California. Courtesy of The Middle East Media Research Institute.

Muslim clerics are threatening the lives of Jews from the pulpits of American mosques, and they are doing it with virtual impunity, say former US law-enforcement officials who worry that the rhetoric could lead to violent attacks.

Over the past six months, at least five prominent US imams have been caught on tape preaching violence against Jews in sermons at mosques across America. Yet these radical preachers inciting anti-Semitic violence aren’t prosecuted or even permanently banished by the leadership of their mosques.

Trump’s The Reason Iran Islamic Republic Is Falling

(Robert Spencer’s articlefrom The FRONTPAGE MAG on 01 January 2018.)

In 2009, Iran was swept by demonstrations, just as it is now. But at that time, the protesters were shouting “Allahu akbar,” and there was no indication that they wanted anything but reform of the Islamic regime, not the end of the regime itself.

This time, however, the protesters have been chanting: “We don’t want an Islamic Republic!” “Clerics shame on you, let go of our country!” Some have even chanted: “Reza Shah, bless your soul!” What has changed? Donald Trump.

Reza Shah was the Shah of Iran from 1925 to 1941 and the father of Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, the Shah who was overthrown in the Islamic Revolution in 1979. Reza Shah admired Turkey’s Kemal Ataturk and set Iran on a similar path of Westernization and secularization.

In chanting this, the protesters are emphasizing that they do not just want economic reforms, as has been the line of the establishment media in the West. Nor do they want an Islamic Republic that is less corrupt. They don’t want an Islamic Republic at all.

Al-Qaeda’s Khalid Batarfi: Muslims Must Kill Americans

(Meira Svirsky’s article from The CLARION PROJECT on 25 January 2018.)

Al-Qaeda: Muslims Should Kill ‘Americans Everywhere’: A senior Al-Qaeda leader has called on all Muslims to “rise and attack the Jews and the Americans everywhere.”

In a video released this week, Khalid Batarfi, a top commander with the group’s  Yemen-based operation (Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula), said “killing them is one of the most important things.”

The response was ostensibly aimed at the decision by U.S. President Donald Trump’s to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. The next day, the State Department named Batarfi  a “Specially Designated Global Terrorist.”

Turkey Attacks Kurds In Syria Despite US Warnings

(Selcan Hacaoglu’s article from The BLOOMBERG VIEW on 22 January 2018.)

Turkey pushed ahead with a ground offensive against Kurdish forces in northwest Syria -- in defiance of the U.S. -- to create what it called a security buffer along the border.

Turkish soldiers moved into the town of Afrin at 11 a.m. local time on Sunday, penetrating 5 kilometers (3 miles) from the Turkish border, NTV television reported, citing Prime Minister Binali Yildirim’s comments to reporters in Istanbul. Turkish F-16s and artillery units hit about 200 targets, the army said.

The move pits Turkey against a U.S.-backed force that played a crucial role in defeating Islamic State in Syria. Turkey considers the YPG a terrorist group linked to Kurdish separatists fighting government forces at home. Turkish military action also complicates Russian efforts to end the seven-year conflict in favor of President Bashar Al-Assad.

“Girl Of Enghelab Street”: Hijab-Waving Girl Is Missing

(Adelle Nazarian’s article from The BREITBART NEWS on 23 January 2018.)

A lawyer in Iran expressed concern over the fate of the “Girl of Enghelab Street,” a woman arrested for removing her white headscarf and waving it in the air in a sign of protest to the Islamic Republic of Iran’s compulsory hijab law.

The woman’s act of bravery and defiance took place on one of Tehran’s busiest streets on December 27, just one day prior to the start of the national uprising against the Iranian government, as part of a movement known as “White Wednesday.” She quickly became a symbol of hope for the protesters.

“What I am certain about is that this lady has been arrested,” Nasrin Sotoudeh, a renowned human rights lawyer, said of the missing activist to the AFP. “The witnesses on the scene who saw her being taken away and even accompanied her to the police station gave me this information. I have no contact with her family.”

Sotoudeh reportedly went to Enghelab Street, where the woman carried out her defiant act, to discover more about her whereabouts. She told AFP that the only information she was able to gather was that the woman is 31 years old and has a 19-month-old baby.

U.S. Oil Production Overtaking Saudi Arabia’s Soon

(Bob Adelmann’s article from The NEW AMERICAN on 22 January 2018.)

Fatih Birol, head of the Paris-based International Energy Agency (IEA), told a congressional committee last week, “What we see is a result of the shale revolution [fracking]. The U.S. is becoming the undisputed leader of oil and gas production worldwide. [U.S.] oil production is growing very strongly and will continue to grow. We think that this growth is unprecedented [both in the] size of the growth and the pace of the growth.”

In 1973, Saudi Arabia punished U.S. citizens with an oil embargo in retaliation for the U.S. government’s support for Israel during the Yom Kippur War. It could do so because it held the biggest hammer: Saudi Arabia controlled the world’s largest reserves of crude oil and the kingdom.

Within months, the price of oil quadrupled in the United States, resulting in shortages and rationing. Gas stations were closed, and when they reopened they were forced to restrict gasoline purchases to “odd” and “even” days depending upon their customers’ license plate numbers. The federal government imposed “double-nickel” (55 mph) speed limits on highways, and experimented with “daylight saving” time in order to reduce the impact of the embargo.

“Schumer Shutdown” Is Over: Democrats Surrender

(Sean Moran’s article from The BREITBART NEWS on 22 January 2018.)

Democrats Cave on ‘Schumer Shutdown,’ Agree to Three-Week Spending Bill: Senate Democrats caved on the “Schumer Shutdown,” on Monday and agreed to a three-week spending bill that will fund the government until February 8.

Shortly before the cloture vote, Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) told reporters that after leaving the Democratic meeting, the three-week Continuing Resolution (CR) might even get 70 votes. In the end, the Senate approved the motion to invoke cloture and end debate, 81-18, featuring overwhelming bipartisan support.

One Senate Democratic source told reporters that the CR is “good to go” in the Senate, and revealed that Democrats remain fully aware of the negative polling that suggests that Democrats will take the blame for shutting the government to force a vote on the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) illegal aliens.

Aussie Flu Killing 100 A Week In US & Infecting Whole UK

(Staff articles from The SUN UK &  The INDEPENDENT UK on 21 January 2018.)

A deadly flu virus has been killing around 100 people per week in the US since mid-December, the Center for Disease Control has warned. A report published by the CDC with the latest figures showed there were 759 flu deaths between 7 October and 23 December.

It also said since early December more than 100 people were dying every week from the flu and the death toll could increase as there has been a further rise in the number of hospital admissions.

This is more than double the number of flu deaths from the same period last year when there were only 322 reported fatalities, CBS News reported. An increase in the number of reported cases of the flu during the winter is common and usually peaks around Christmas and New Year when more people are travelling and spreading illness.

Trump Calls For Nuclear-Option To Reopen Government

(Mark Moore’s article from The NEW YORK POST on 21 January 2018.)

Trump urges GOP to use ‘Nuclear Option’ during government shutdown: President Trump on Sunday continued to blast Democrats over immigration during the showdown and urged Republicans to use the “Nuclear Option” to reach a long-term solution.

“Great to see how hard Republicans are fighting for our Military and Safety at the Border. The Dems just want illegal immigrants to pour into our nation unchecked,” the president wrote on Twitter. “If stalemate continues, Republicans should go to 51% (Nuclear Option) and vote on real, long term budget, no C.R.’s!,” he posted.

Democrats and Republicans have been at loggerheads since the Senate failed to pass a temporary spending bill – a C.R., or continuing resolution – that would have kept the government funded until Feb. 16.

India Upsets China By Testing Nuke-capable Agni ICBM

(Staff articles from The CNBC, TIME, and GLOBAL TIMES on 18 January 2018.)

India successfully launched a long-range intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) on Thursday. The nuclear-capable Agni-V ICBM was fired from Abdul Kalam island off the coast of the eastern state of Odisha at around 9:53 a.m. local time (11:23 p.m. ET on Wednesday).

India's Defense Ministry said on Twitter that the test was a "major boost" to the country's defense capabilities, “I congratulate the Armed Forces and Defence Industry for the successful flight test of the long range ballistic missile Agni-V. A major boost to the defence capabilities of our country.”

The same missile has been tested five times over the past six years, with the most recent test prior to Thursday's launch coming in December 2016. That test prompted exasperation from two of New Delhi's most important continental rivals, China and Pakistan.

SHAME! Chuck Schumer Shuts Down Govt. For Illegals

(Staff articles from The VOX and the BREITBART on 20 January 2018.)

Schumer shuts down US Federal Govt. to save DACA illegals.

At 12:01 am on Saturday, January 20, the federal government is officially shut down. Republicans and Democrats are still stuck in a standoff after failing to reach an immigration deal this week.

House Republicans passed a bill on Thursday to fund the government for four weeks and extend the Children’s Health Insurance Program for six years, after Congress had failed to reauthorize that program for the last four months. But on a procedural vote late Friday, which needed 60 votes to advance the House spending bill, 45 Senate Democrats — and five Senate Republicans — rejected it.

Democrats, frustrated with President Trump’s unwillingness to accept a bipartisan proposal to address the nearly 700,000 immigrants in legal limbo after he pledged to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, felt they had no choice and no other leverage but to reject the House spending bill to force DACA negotiations.

Clinton’s Judge, DACA Dreamers, & Govt. Shutdown

(Foreign staff’s article from The TELEGRAPH UK on 07 September 2017.)

The Trump administration is reportedly poised to announce that it will end protections for young immigrants who were brought into the country illegally as children, but with a six-month delay.

The delay in the formal dismantling of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA programme, would be intended to give Congress time to decide whether it wants to address the status of the so-called Dreamers legislation.

It was unclear exactly what would happen if Congress failed to pass a measure by the considered deadline. US Attorney General Jeff Sessions will announce plans for ending the programme at 11 am on Tuesday, the Justice Department said.

US Federal Govt. Is Shutting Down Midnight Tonite

(Sabrina Siddiqui’s article from The GUARDIAN UK on 19 January 2018.)

What is a federal government shutdown? If the US Congress fails to pass a spending bill by midnight on Friday many important government functions will come to a standstill.

The US Congress is scrambling to avert a shutdown of the federal government amid fraught negotiations over a budget compromise. Lawmakers have until midnight on Friday to pass a spending bill or risk the first government shutdown since 2013.

Funding was initially due to expire in October, but the passage of multiple temporary spending measures pushed the deadline to 19 January.

UN’s Guterres Demands Trump Let More Muslims In

(Leo Hohmann’s article from The LEO HOHMANN on 19 January 2018.)

Muslims are now officially running the United Nations.

U.N. leader demands Trump live up to Obama deals, accept more migrants: Antonio Guterres has been on the job only a year as secretary general of the United Nations, but he is wasting no time using his position to pressure the Trump administration into honoring deals cut by former President Obama — deals that would lead to a new wave of refugees and asylum seekers coming to America.

As a matter of background, Mr. Guterres is former prime minister of Portugal and a Marxist. He once headed up the Socialist International. Before he ascended to his current position atop the U.N., he headed up the United Nations refugee agency and played a key role in ushering nearly 2 million Muslim migrants into Europe under the false premise that they were “Syrian refugees.”

In fact, the vast majority of those who flooded into Europe were neither Syrian nor refugees but rather economic migrants from an array of Muslim countries including Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Sudan, Albania and Libya.

“New California” Declares Independence From California

(Breaking News article from The CBS on 16 January 2018.)

SACRAMENTO -- With the reading of their own version of a Declaration of Independence, founders of the state of New California took the first steps to what they hope will eventually lead to statehood. CBS Sacramento reports they don't want to leave the United States, just California.

"Well, it's been ungovernable for a long time. High taxes, education, you name it, and we're rated around 48th or 50th from a business climate and standpoint in California," said founder Robert Paul Preston. The state of New California would incorporate most of the state's rural counties, leaving the urban coastal counties to the current state of California.

"There's something wrong when you have a rural county such as this one, and you go down to Orange County which is mostly urban, and it has the same set of problems, and it happens because of how the state is being governed and taxed," Preston said.

Record Income Tax Collected In Trump’s USA

(Terrence Jeffrey’s article from The CNS NEWS on 12 January 2018.)

(CNSNews.com) - The federal government collected record individual-income-tax revenues through the first quarter of fiscal 2018 (October through December), according to the new Monthly Treasury Statement.

This was the last quarter before the new tax-cut law signed by President Donald Trump on Dec. 22 took effect. Despite taking in record individual-income-tax revenues, the federal government ran a deficit of approximately $225 billion during the quarter.

The Treasury collected a record $390,847,000,000 in individual income taxes in October through December, according to the Treasury statement. That was $30,568,380,000 more than the $360,278,620,000 that the Treasury collected (in constant December 2017 dollars) in individual income taxes in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 (which ran from October through December of 2016).

Iran’s Basij Militiamen Raped Virgin Girls To Execute

(Staff article from The DAILY TELEGRAPH UK on 21 July 2009.)

MEMBERS of Iran's feared Basij militia forcibly marry female virgin prisoners the night before scheduled executions, raping their new "wives" and making it religiously acceptable to execute them, a self-professed member of the paramilitary group says.

The anonymous militiaman, exposing a part of the Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei's religious regime in Iran, told The Jerusalem Post that at age 18 he was "given the honor to temporarily marry young girls before they were sentenced to death".

In the Islamic Republic of Iran it is illegal to execute a woman if she is a virgin, the former guard said. So the Government arranges "wedding" ceremonies to be conducted the night before executions, and prisoners are forced to have sexual intercourse with a guard, Fox News reported.

Raped by her new "husband," a female prisoner is now fit to be put to death. "I regret that, even though the marriages were legal," said the militiaman, who told the Jerusalem Post he had just been released from prison himself after freeing two teenagers rounded up during post-election protests.

Burmese Soldiers & Vigilante Killed 10 Rohingya

(News article from The LA TIMES on 10 January 2018.)

Myanmar's military acknowledged Wednesday that its security forces and Buddhist villagers killed 10 Rohingya Muslims whose bodies were found in a mass grave in a village in troubled Rakhine state.

The public admission of wrongdoing is the military's first since it launched “clearance operations” against ethnic Rohingya in August, prompting more than 650,000 to flee into neighboring Bangladesh in what the United Nations has called “ethnic cleansing.” A statement on the military commander-in-chief's Facebook page said the Rohingya found in the mass grave had threatened Buddhist villagers and were killed in retaliation.

The U.N. and other groups accuse the military of widespread atrocities against the Rohingya, including killings, rapes and the burning of homes. But the military has insisted that there has been no wrongdoing by any security forces.

Congressional Black Caucus Defending Visa Lottery

(Based on a news article from The NEW YORK TIMES on 01 November 2017.)

The Congressional Black Caucus.

In 2013 when the now-defunct Gang-of-Eight posted 800 page Immigration Reform Bill online the so-called CBC (Congressional Black Caucus) went berserk loudly complaining of the proposed “merit based point system” and axing of so-called Diversity Visa Lottery.

The reason was very simple since the Diversity Visa Lottery is the only program bringing mainly Black immigrants into United States from Africa and the Caribbean.

“The gloves are coming off — the point system is not enough,” said a senior member of the Congressional Black Caucus on the issue of the diversity visa lottery being axed in the “gang of eight” immigration legislation. One member of the CBC stated publicly that he will not vote for an immigration bill that does not include the diversity visa program.

Bangladesh Bans Rohingya From Marrying Bangladeshis

(AFP article from The DAILY MAIL UK on 09 January 2018.)

Bangladeshi men are dying to marry pretty
Rohingya girls at any cost.

Bangladesh court upholds ban on Rohingya marriage: A Bangladesh court on Monday upheld a government ruling banning marriage between its citizens and refugees from Myanmar's persecuted Rohingya minority, who have fled ethnic violence in the neighbouring country.

The High Court in Dhaka dismissed a legal challenge from a father whose son married a Rohingya teenager in a Muslim ceremony in September despite laws forbidding such unions. Marriages with Rohingya were banned in 2014 to try to prevent hundreds of thousands of refugees living in Bangladesh from seeking a back door to citizenship.

Babul Hossain, whose 26-year-old son ran away with his new wife after they married, questioned the legality of the ruling that threatens a seven-year jail term for any Bangladeshi who weds a Rohingya refugee. But the court rejected his plea and ordered he pay 100,000 taka ($1,200) in legal costs.

"The court rejected the petition and has upheld the administrative order, which bans marriage between Bangladeshi citizens and Rohingya people," deputy attorney general Motaher Hossain Saju told AFP. Hossain's request that the court protect his son from arrest was also rejected, Saju added.

Detained Student(s) Tortured & Raped To Death In Iran

(Golnaz Esfandiari’s article from The RADIO LIBERTY on 08 January 2018.)

The death of a young Iranian in custody for allegedly taking part in antiestablishment protests has heightened fears of brutal official reprisals against detained protesters and other perceived dissidents following the worst street demonstrations Iran has seen in nearly a decade.

Iranian activists probing the fates of detainees during protests and other unrest that erupted late last month reported on January 7 that 22-year-old Sina Ghanbari had died in prison of "unknown causes.”

The activists, who include lawyers and volunteers including individuals caught in past crackdowns like the one after a disputed presidential election in 2009, say their self-styled committee was informed of Ghanbari's death by other detainees following their release. Well after the unconfirmed reports, the head of the prison authority in Tehran Province on January 8 said that Ghanbari had hanged himself in a prison lavatory.

"On the morning of Saturday, January 6, one of the prisoners, Sina Ghanbari, son of Ali Akbar, visited the lavatory of the quarantine section and hanged himself," Mostafa Mohebi told the semiofficial ISNA news agency. Suicide always is official excuse for the deaths of torture victims inside the notorious Evin Prison.

Asian Fetish Of White-Supremacists & Neo-Nazis

(Audrea Lim’s article from The NEW YORK TIMES on 06 January 2018.)

Tila the Viet-American-Nazi.

The white supremacists on the far right have “yellow fever” — an Asian woman fetish. It’s a confusing mix.

Andrew Anglin, the founder of the neo-Nazi website The Daily Stormer, once posted a video of himself with a Filipina he called “my jailbait girlfriend,” the young couple flirting as they sauntered through a megamall in the Philippines.

Richard Spencer, a white nationalist, has dated a series of Asian-American women, according to one of his ex-girlfriends. (Mr. Spencer insists that it was before he embraced white nationalism.)

The right-wing agitator Mike Cernovich, the writer John Derbyshire and an alt-right figure named Kyle Chapman (so notorious for swinging a lead-filled stick at Trump opponents at a protest in Berkeley, Calif., that he is now a meme) are all married to women of Asian descent.

Refugees Are Muslim Invaders: Hungary PM Orban

(Nick Robin’s article from The HUFFINGTON POST on 08 January 2018.)

Hungary’s Leader Says Refugees Should Be Called ‘Muslim Invaders’: With elections just over the horizon, Viktor Orban is ramping up his attacks on migration.

Hungary’s combative Prime Minister Viktor Orban has begun the new year in inflammatory fashion, referring to Syrian asylum seekers ― that is, people arriving in Hungary after having fled the war ravaging their home country ― as “Muslim invaders.”

Orban has taken frequent aim at the European Union’s refugee policies. He has fiercely protested the EU’s demand that Hungary take in about 1,300 refugees in an effort to distribute asylum claims throughout the continent. He’s spent millions of dollars on border fences, and called migration “a poison.” But his comments Monday were especially blatant in their appeal to religious and nationalist sentiments.

Rebellion: Fake “Sanctuary State” Signs In California

(Staff news article from The CBS Los Angeles on 02 January 2018.)

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA/AP) – Drivers making their way into California this week were greeted by a fake “Sanctuary State” sign.

A sign placed along the southbound 15 Freeway — near the town of Primm at the California-Nevada border — reads, “Official Sanctuary State! Felons, Illegals and MS13 Welcome! Democrats Need The Votes!”

It was tacked below an already existing “Welcome to California” sign. MS-13 refers to an international gang which began in Los Angeles. It was unclear if the sign had been removed as of Tuesday afternoon.

Iran Arrests Thousands Of Protesters & Ahmadinejad

(Adelle Nazarian’s article from The BRIEBART NEWS on 05 January 2018.)

Hated Hijabs are the first to go in Free-Iran.

The U.S. State Department announced on Thursday that Iran’s Islamic regime has arrested at least 1,000 Iranians since protests began and announced that it will hold an emergency meeting to discuss the uprising and how to provide support for the people.

“We condemn the deaths to date and the arrests of at least 1,000 Iranians by the Iranian regime during this week’s protests and called on the United Nations Security Council to speak out in support of the Iranian people,” State Department spokesperson Heather Nauert wrote.  

Also on Thursday, Nauert said in a press release, “We have ample authorities to hold accountable those who commit violence against protesters, contribute to censorship, or steal from the people of Iran.”

According to Amnesty International, hundreds of detained Iranians are being held in the notorious Evin Prison’s “quarantine section, an area that has the capacity to hold a maximum of 180 people.”

Women & Girls Are Burning Koran In Iran

(Staff article from The BNI on 05 January 2018.)

Islam was forced onto the Persians by Arab Muslims in 7th century.

IRAN: Persian woman who burned a quran online, says: “It does not belong here, the Arabs forced it on us”:

In a video that has gone viral on social media, a woman explains that Arabs brought Islam to Persia (now called Iran) and forced it on the Persian people. She says that anyone who defines himself as Persian in Iran should burn this book.

“By war and by force, the Arab Muslims brought this book, which is why we must burn it. We must send Islam back to where it belongs – to the fucking Arabs.”

There also are many other videos of Koran burning by Iranian men and women online. From anti-Mad-Mullahs to anti-Islam the fundamental nature of ongoing Iranian Uprising has changed so fast the mad mullahs are now facing their worst nightmare.

Mullahs Deploy Revolutionary Guards To Quell Uprising

(Reuters’ news article from The WASHINGTON FREE BEACON on 03 January 2018.)

LONDON (Reuters) — Iran‘s elite Revolutionary Guards have deployed forces to three provinces to put down an eruption of anti-government unrest after six days of protests that have rattled the clerical leadership and left 21 people dead.

The protests, which began last week out of frustration over economic hardships suffered by the youth and working class, have evolved into a rising against the powers and privileges of a remote elite, especially Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Defying threats from the judiciary of execution if convicted of rioting, protests resumed after nightfall with hundreds hitting the streets of Malayer in Hamadan province chanting: "People are begging, the supreme leader is acting like God!"

Unlike Obama In 2009 Trump Stands With Iranians

(Majid Rafizadeh’s article from The GATESTONE INSTITUTE on 03 January 2018.)

Mullah apologist and appeaser Obama is silent on Iran protests.

As a long-time Iranian, I can tell you that the support of the US and President Trump is invaluable to the ordinary Iranians: they feel helpless and alone in the face of the monsters who have been oppressing them for so long.

On Persian social media outlets and apps such as Telegram, which is extremely popular among Iranians, people are cheering Donald Yrump and the US support. People are asking the US to support them in other ways as well, in addition to helping them bypass the internet-blocks and shut-downs that the Iranian regime recently implemented.

If the Iranians succeed in changing this Islamist regime, it will bring down the highest state sponsor of terrorism, the leading regime in human rights violations, the top state sponsor of anti-Americanism and anti-Semitic propaganda.

Enemies Of Iran: Mad-Mullah Khamenei Ready To Kill

(Golnaz Esfandiari’s article from The RADIO LIBERTY on 02 January 2018.)

Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has broken five days of silence as antiestablishment protests raged in Iran by publicly stiffening the official line from that offered by the country's president a day earlier.

Khamenei has the final word on political and religious matters in Iran, and his suggestion that "enemies of Iran" are behind the unrest comes with the death toll rising above 20 and increasingly harsh admonitions from other Iranian officials.

The protests, the largest since massive demonstrations over a disputed presidential election in 2009 prompted a brutal crackdown, have continued despite the deaths and hundreds of arrests, dispersals by security forces in dozens of cities, and stepped-up blocks on social media and the Internet.

Khamenei has been one of the main targets of protesters' chants, which have included "Death to the dictator!" and "Death to Khamenei!" while also accusing him of ruling like a god. "In the events of recent days, the enemies have united and are using all their means -- money, weapons, policies, and intelligence services -- to create problems for the Islamic regime," Khamenei said on state television.

LONDON (Reuters) - Iran’s Supreme Leader on Tuesday accused enemies of the Islamic Republic of stirring unrest across the country as the death toll from anti-government demonstrations that began last week rose to 21.

Nine Iranians were killed in Isfahan province during protests on Monday night, including two members of the security forces, state television said. Six protesters were killed during an attack on a police station in the town of Qahderijan. The governor of Falavarjan County said the protesters were armed.

The deputy provincial governor of Tehran said police have arrested more than 450 protesters in the capital over the past three days as security forces struggle to contain the boldest challenge to Iran’s clerical leadership since unrest in 2009.
