Burma Parliament Elects ASSK’s Puppet As President

(Merrit Kennedy’s Article direct from The NPR on 15 March 2016.)

Myanmar has elected its first civilian president after decades of military rule. Htin Kyaw, a close ally of Nobel laureate and democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi, won the legislature's vote. Suu Kyi was barred from running herself by the country's constitution — drafted by the former military leaders — because she has two foreign sons.

Htin Kyaw won 360 of the 652 votes cast by the two houses of Parliament. Suu Kyi's party, the National League for Democracy, won "80 percent of the seats up for grabs" in November, as we reported.

NPR's Anthony Kuhn tells our Newscast unit that Suu Kyi apparently picked Htin Kyaw "not because he has political experience, because he doesn't, but because she trusts him." Here's more from Anthony:

"Lawmakers applauded as the vote count confirmed 70-year-old U Htin Kyaw as president. The legislature also confirmed two vice presidents, one each from the ruling and opposition parties. U Htin Kyaw has never held a public office. He's been a member of Aung San Suu Kyi's inner circle for years, sometimes serving as her driver."

March 15 Tomorrow is D-Day For Donald Trump

(Staff Article direct from The NEW OBSERVER on 14 March 2016.)

The outcome of the Republican Party primary elections tomorrow is D-Day for Donald Trump, and will either give him an unassailable lead, or create the real possibility of a “brokered” nomination convention.

In the latter case—where no one candidate amasses enough delegates to clinch the nomination—the Republican Party’s controllers will edge him out. The reason for the day of decision is because after the polling on March 15, more than half of all Republican delegates will have been allocated.

Currently, Trump has 460 delegates, and his main contender, Ted Cruz, has 370. The closeness of this battle hides the fact that, realistically, only Trump has the ability to reach the 1,237 delegates to win the Republican nomination. However, it is equally possible that no candidate will be able to reach this total—and this is what is going to be decided tomorrow.

Swedish Police Warns Women Not To Go Out At Night

(News Articles from The GATES OF VIENNA and The DAILY MAIL UK in March 2016.)

Women in Östersund Had Better Stay Home at Night, Or Get Used to Being Raped. Whole Sweden is a crime scene and Östersund is a small town in the northern part of Sweden the Muslim Rape Capital of The World. Like most such towns, Östersund has always been a placid, orderly, law-abiding place — that’s the Swedish way.

Until recently. Everything has changed since the arrival of “refugees” at asylum centers that are popping up like mushrooms all over the Swedish landscape, even in the most rural areas. In the past few weeks six violent crimes — including rape and attempted rape — have been committed by men of “foreign appearance” against women out alone at night in Östersund.

Sleepy Swedish town rocked by EIGHT sex attacks in just three weeks, including on young children, by MUSLIM migrant men. Two 10-year-old girls were groped at a bus stop by a gang of Muslim migrants who threatened to rape them.

ASSK Anointed Her Former Driver As Puppet President

(Phillip Sherwell’s Article direct from The TELEGRAPH on 10 March 2016.)

Puppet president with Aung San Suu Kyi.

Aung San Suu Kyi will not be Burma's president. Htin Kyaw, an Oxford-educated writer who once drove Aung San Suu Kyi to meetings, named as her choice for president after Nobel laureate loses fight to secure top job.

Aung San Suu Kyi has nominated an Oxford-educated writer who once served as her personal driver as her “puppet” president after weeks of febrile speculation and intense negotiations. The nomination of her long-time aide Htin Kyaw marks the end – for now – of her dream of leading the country out of five decades of military rule. The Nobel laureate circulated a note to her new MPs apologising for "not fully fulfilling the people's desire" but asked for support "to reach the goal peacefully”.

Ms Suu Kyi and her National League for Democracy (NLD) party won a landslide electoral victory in November, but she is barred from holding the presidency herself under a junta-drafted 2008 constitution because her children are foreign citizens. Ms Suu Kyi has pledged that she would run the country regardless.

Islamization of Britain: According to Czech Dr Rogozov

(Baron Bodissey’s Article direct from The GATE OF VIENNA on 8 March 2016.)

A Czech doctor named Vladislav Rogozov has caused a ruckus in Britain by publishing uncensored information about the Islamization of the UK in his native language. He works at a hospital in Sheffield, and has seen up close the effects of Islam in England.

Back in January he gave an interview to Parlamentní listy in which explained the urgent necessity for the Czech Republic to avoid going down the same path as the UK. Eventually excerpts from the interview were translated into English, and that’s when the trouble started. Dr. Rogozov’s willingness to tell the truth has landed him in hot water.

For more than 10 years, the Czech physician Vladislav Rogozov has been working at a teaching hospital in Sheffield, England. With this look at the current Islamization of Great Britain, he is attempting to bear witness to this serious danger to our homeland, in order that the Czech Republic might recognize this danger in time and not end up as tragically [as Great Britain].

Stolen Mexican Territories Retaken By Latino Illegals

(Staff articles direct from various sources in Mexico and United States.)

Much of Mexico’s history is unknown in the United States, and not taught in U.S. schools—and for a reason. A huge part of what is now the United States was originally Mexico’s territory. On September 16th 2010, Mexico celebrates the bicentenary of the revolution that led to its independence from Spain.

Mexico’s revolution began on September 16, 1810, when Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla freed prisoners who had been locked up by the ruling Spanish authorities. He called on the people to rebel by ringing church bells. Unfortunately, Hidalgo was captured and shot. However, he sparked a revolution that would that would lead to Mexico’s independence.

We live in Mexicali, which is in Baja (lower) California, but there was an Alta (upper) California, which was also part of Mexico. Alta California included land that today forms American states of California and Nevada and parts of today’s Arizona, Utah, New Mexico, western Colorado, and southwestern Wyoming. The capital of Alta California was Monterey, California.

Latinos Mobilize Against Anti-Immigration Trump

(Staff articles direct from The NEW OBSERVER on 14 Dec 2015 & 2 Mar 2016.)

No To Trump: Latino protests in US.

Trump Hits New Poll High as Latinos Mobilize. Donald Trump has emerged unscathed and with higher ratings than ever before following his “block Muslim immigration” comments—and now Latinos across America have promised to “flood” the voter rolls with millions of immigrants to defeat him if he should win the Republican nomination.

According to the results of the latest Monmouth University poll surveying voters identifying as Republican or independents leaning toward the GOP, Trump took 41 percent, nearly tripling the support of his closest rival, Texas Senator Ted Cruz, who took 14 percent, while all other candidates polled well below 5 percent.

According to the press release which accompanied the poll results, the new figures “represent a big jump in Trump’s support and a rearrangement of the deck chairs in the second tier. After polling between 26 percent and 30 percent in Monmouth polls throughout the late summer and fall, Trump’s showing has increased by 13 points from his 28 percent result in mid-October.

Muslim Woman Activists Calling To Dump Hijab

(Asra Nomani’s Article direct from The WASHINGTON POST on 21 December 2015.)

Taliban Afghan man herding hijabi women like his animals.

As Muslim women, we actually ask you not to wear the hijab in the name of interfaith solidarity. Last week, three female religious leaders — a Jewish rabbi, an Episcopal vicar and a Unitarian reverend — and a male imam, or Muslim prayer leader, walked into the sacred space in front of the ornately-tiled minbar, or pulpit, at the Khadeeja Islamic Center in West Valley City, Utah.

The women were smiling widely, their hair covered with swaths of bright scarves, to support “Wear a Hijab” day. The Salt Lake Tribune published a photo of fresh-faced teenage girls, who were not Muslim, in the audience at the mosque, their hair covered with long scarves. KSL TV later reported: “The hijab — or headscarf — is a symbol of modesty and dignity. When Muslim women wear headscarves, they are readily identified as followers of Islam.”

For us, as mainstream Muslim women, born in Egypt and India, the spectacle at the mosque was a painful reminder of the well-financed effort by conservative Muslims to dominate modern Muslim societies. This modern-day movement spreads an ideology of political Islam, called “Islamism,” enlisting well-intentioned interfaith do-gooders and the media into promoting the idea that “hijab” is a virtual “sixth pillar” of Islam, after the traditional “five pillars” of the shahada (or proclamation of faith), prayer, fasting, charity and pilgrimage.

Hijab-wearing Muslim Women Are Passive Terrorists?

(Llowell Williams’s Article direct from The CARE2 on 29 February 2016.)

San Bernardino terrorist from Pakistan via Saudi Arabia.

Are Hijab Wearers Terrorists? A Military Paper Says Yes. The U.S. Department of Defense recently released a policy paper that’s quickly become a flash point of controversy. It’s not hard to see why, as the paper asserts a link between Muslim women who wear hijabs, the traditional religious headscarves, to “passive terrorism.”

According to The Intercept, the paper, Countering Violent Extremism: Scientific Methods & Strategies, was first released in 2011 but was recently republished in an updated form. Despite the overwrought, academic-sounding name, the report makes a handful of assertions that appear to lack any genuine empirical evidence. Keep in mind that this is a policy paper meant to outline the U.S.’s counter-terrorism strategy domestically and abroad.

In addition to the outlandish claim about hijabs, a chapter authored by Dr. Tawfik Hamid titled “A Strategic Plan to Defeat Radical Islam” makes several more unproven assertions worthy of a raised eyebrow. Dr. Hamid says he was a former Islamic militant, so he should be taken at his word, right?
