China Spending $500 Billion To Reshape The World

(News article direct from The BLOOMBERG NEWS on 12 May 2017.)

China's Spending $500 Billion to Reshape the World in Its Image: China is one of the few countries in the world today with money to spend, and Xi Jinping is ready to write some checks.

China’s president will host almost 30 world leaders in Beijing on Sunday at the first Belt and Road Forum, the centerpiece of a soft-power push backed by hundreds of billions of dollars for infrastructure projects. More than 100 countries on five continents have signed up, showing the demand for global economic cooperation despite rising protectionism in the U.S. and Europe.

For Xi, the initiative is designed to solidify his image as one of the world’s leading advocates of globalization while U.S. President Donald Trump cuts overseas funds in the name of “America First.” The summit aims to ease concerns about China’s rise and boost Xi’s profile at home, where he’s become the most powerful leader since Deng Xiaoping died in 1997.

Hilary Pressured Bangladesh PM To Rehire Donor Yunus

(Three news articles from ASIA SENTINEL, DAILY SATR, & BREITBART NEWS in 2017.)

Hilary Clinton and her big donor Dr. Muhammad Yunus.

Fired Grameen banker and the 2006 Nobel-Peace-Prize winner Dr. Muhammad Yunus used Clinton influence to stop the Padma River Bridge funding from the World Bank after Bangladehi Government rejected Hilary Clinton’s demand to reinstate Yunus as the Managing Director at Grameen Bank, Bangladesh PM Hasina charges.

In 2012, the World Bank pulled out of its US$1.2 billion commitment to fund Bangladesh’s biggest infrastructure project, a 6.1 km. multimodal bridge over the Padma River, because of clear evidence of high-level corruption. But when Bank officials went to the government, they were ignored.

Today, however, Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Wazed is charging that World Bank officials acting at the behest of the family of former US President Bill Clinton attempted to blackmail her into allowing former Grameen Bank President Muhammad Yunus to return to the bank, or the World Bank’s portion of the funding for the US$3 billion Padma Bridge, the country’s biggest, would be turned off.

The World Bank decision to pull out of the project, which is now about 25 percent completed, forced Bangladesh to find other funding sources. The bank said it had found a high-level corruption conspiracy among Bangladeshi government officials, the Canada-based SNC-Lavalin executives, and private individuals. “The World Bank cannot, should not, and will not turn a blind eye to evidence of corruption,” the bank said when it cancelled the loan.

South Korea Has Fallen: Moon A North Korean Appeaser

(Breaking news articles from various sources in April-May 2017.)

South Korea elected a left-leaning president for the first time in a decade on Tuesday, in a landslide that could lead to peace talks with the pariah North Korean regime and a potential clash with America.

The election of Moon Jae-in, 64, a former human rights lawyer and leader of the liberal Democratic Party, will radically change the political landscape of Asia’s fourth largest economy just two months after the impeachment of conservative President Park Geun-hye on corruption charges.

“I will be a president for all the people” Mr Moon told his celebrating supporters at midnight in the capital, Seoul, ahead of the official results. Early exit polls showed him with a 41.4% lead and he is expected to be sworn-in today [Wednesday].

Over 77% of South Korea’s 42.4 million eligible voters cast their ballots, eager to fill a power vacuum that had left Seoul directionless during an escalating standoff in recent weeks between Pyongyang and Washington. With South Korea on the frontline of any future military conflict, Mr Moon will immediately face domestic pressure to ease those tensions.

WW3 Coming Soon: US Test-firing Minuteman III ICBMs

(Breaking-news articles direct from various sources in April 2017.)

VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, CALIFORNIA – An unarmed Minuteman 3 intercontinental ballistic missile was launched from California early Wednesday in a test of the weapon system that is part of the U.S. nuclear force.

The nuclear-capable missile blasted off from a silo at 12:03 a.m. from Vandenberg Air Force Base and delivered a single re-entry vehicle to a target approximately 4,200 miles (6,759 km) away at Kwajalein Atoll in the Pacific Ocean, the Air Force Global Strike Command said. The launch command was issued via an air launch control system aboard a Navy E-6 Mercury jet.

“Tonight’s launch was an important demonstration of our nation’s nuclear deterrent capability,” Col. John Moss, commander of Vandenberg’s 30th Space Wing, said in a statement. “Test launches like this one are vital to validating the effectiveness and readiness of our operational nuclear systems, so it is critical that they are successful.”

MS-13: Deadly Machete-Wielding New-York Latino Gang

(Mark Morales’s article direct from The NEWSDAY on 05 May 2017.)

The recent eruption of gang violence on Long Island in New York City— highlighted by the discovery of the mutilated bodies of four young men in a public park — fits what experts and sources say is a new and more deadly profile of MS-13.

At the heart of that profile are newcomers from Central America eager to make their mark within an immigrant gang already known for its code of brutality and its weapon of choice, the machete, the sources say.

They represent a very small but dangerous cohort among the thousands of young people under 18 who, according to federal statistics, have illegally entered the United States unaccompanied by adults but let in by the Obama Administration since 2015.

These newcomers have found a niche in MS-13 on Long Island — replacing those who have been arrested — and are focused on proving themselves to be even more violent than established gang members.

Macron Wins With Secret Plan For Islamization of France

(News article direct from The DMF on 06 May 2017.)

Just one day before the French election, a massive pile of emails and documents were released about the left-wing candidate Emmanuel Macron. The Macron Leaks contain secret proposals that would lead to the Islamization of France and Europe, prepared by the IM [Institut Montaigne] and Hakim El Karoui.

The document recommends the introduction of Arabic teaching to French schools, including bi-lingual classes. This is justified with the claim that Muslims are currently getting their “Arabic fix” from mosques, where they risk being radicalized. The French must accept Islam. The refusal of multiculturalism is treason.

In other words, “soft islamization” is being advocated as the remedy for “hard islamization” and that this represents a kind of de facto reward being offered to jihad violence. Jihad gets results. It leads to societies being islamised, one way or the other.

Other plans for measures to islamize France include facilitating mosque construction by making it easier to arrange finance for it and providing reserved Muslim areas in municipal cemeteries. Again this is justified by claiming that it will lead to the emergence of a “French Islam”. There is also a proposal, unfortunately not specified in detail, to finance Islam by taxing halal consumption.

Muslim Brotherhood’s Desperate Campaign In US

(Ran Meir’s article direct from The CLARION PROJECT on 04 May 2017.)

The Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt is mounting a desperate campaign in the U.S. to avoid being designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization, according to The Seventh Day, one of Egypt’s largest news outlets.

The political winds have changed in Washington and the Brotherhood is running scared. U.S. President Donald Trump has made clear his support of Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, announcing he stands with the Egyptian president in his fight against terror and extremist groups that are threatening one of America’s key allies in the Middle East.

After tens of millions of Egyptians took to the streets to protest the abuse and power grabs of former Egyptian president Mohammed Morsi (a member of the Brotherhood’s political party) in the summer of 2013, El-Sisi and the military took control of Egypt. He was elected president in 2014.

El-Sisi’s recently successful meeting with Trump in Washington set a Brotherhood plan in motion to gain support of members of Congress and academia to block a move to designate the organization as terrorists.

Hindu Militia Killing Muslim “Love Jihadis” In India

(Rupam Jain’s article direct from The REUTERS on 03 May 2017.)

Yuva Vahini Hindu Militia.

NEW DELHI: Police have detained four members of a hardline Hindu militia founded by the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh on suspicion of killing a Muslim man who had helped an interfaith couple elope, an investigating official said on Wednesday.

A 60-year-old Muslim farmer was killed on Tuesday by a mob that included members of the Hindu Yuva Vahini, or Hindu Youth Force, set up by Yogi Adityanath, a priest recently named by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to lead India's most populous state.

Adityanath, backed by his volunteer force, spearheaded the campaign of Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in this year's Uttar Pradesh state polls, helping to secure a landslide victory in the northern state.

Since his appointment, units of the Hindu Yuva Vahini have ramped up their anti-Muslim rhetoric and launched a campaign against so-called "Love Jihad" - what they regard as an Islamist strategy to convert Hindu women through seduction and marriage.

Saudi Arabia’s Gift To Indonesia: Radical Wahabi Islam

(Mohshin Habib’s article direct from The GATESTONE INSTITUTE on 29 April 2017.)

Prior to Saudi Arabia's attempts to spread Salafism across the Muslim world, Indonesia did not have terrorist organizations such as Hamas Indonesia, Laskar Jihad, Hizbut Tahrir, Islamic Defenders Front and Jemmah Islamiyah, to name just a few. Today, it is rife with these groups.

A mere three weeks after the Saudi king wrapped up his trip, at least 15,000 hard-line Islamist protesters took to the streets of Jakarta after Friday prayers, calling for the imprisonment of the capital city's Christian governor, who is on trial for "blaspheming the Quran."

In a separate crisis, crowds were demanding that Basuki Tjahaja Purnama (known familiarly as Ashok) be jailed for telling a group of fishermen that, as they are fed lies about how the Quran forbids Muslims from being governed by a kafir (infidel), he could understand why some of them might not have voted for him. If convicted, Ashok stands to serve up to five years in prison.
