Prowler Preaching Neighborliness

In his first statements on foreign policy, Islamic Republic’s new President Dr. Ayatollah Ebrahim Raisi made two claims: First that he would be the ultimate arbiter of Tehran’s foreign relations and, second, that his top priority is to “establish close ties with neighbors and promote peace and stability in West Asia.

(The ruling mullahs now use the term West Asia, which was circulated by the Soviet Union, instead of the Middle East, which they regard as a term coined by “Infidel powers.”)

Just week into his tenure, however, it is hard to find evidence to support Raisi’s claim.

Mali’s plan for Russia mercenaries to replace French troops in fight against Jihadists unsettles Sahel

There is deep international concern over Mali’s discussions with the controversial Russian private military company, the Wagner group, but many Malians feel the Russians cannot replace French troops soon enough.

The group was first identified in 2014 when it was backing pro-Russian separatists in the conflict in eastern Ukraine. Since then, it has been involved in countries including Syria, Mozambique, Sudan, Libya and the Central African Republic.

Back in 2013, there was a jubilant welcome for the French soldiers when they arrived in Mali after Islamist militants had hijacked a rebellion and threatened to seize control of the whole country.

While Canada sent hundreds of millions in aid to Jordan, its king grew his collection of luxury homes

The King of Jordan secretly purchased 14 luxury homes in the U.K. and U.S. between 2003 and 2017.  In total, Canada sent more than $750 million to Jordan over the last decade.

As his Middle Eastern monarchy strained under the weight of regional wars, Arab Spring protests and a flood of refugees, the King of Jordan secretly stockpiled a real estate portfolio of luxury homes from California to London, an investigation by the Star and its international partners has found.

King Abdullah II bin Al-Hussein acquired 14 properties abroad worth more than $106 million (U.S.) using some of his 36 shell companies based in secretive tax havens, a cache of newly leaked documents reveal. He did it at a time when Canada and other Western nations were sending billions of dollars in humanitarian assistance to Jordan.

And the man who orchestrated King Abdullah’s obscured offshore asset acquisitions was a former Saskatchewan government accountant.

Woke’s most poisonous twist yet: The return of segregation as one American university hires 82 diversity officers

As parting shots go, it packed quite a punch. But then it had been coming for some time.

In an open letter announcing his resignation from Portland State University in Oregon, assistant philosophy professor Peter Boghossian condemned his former employer as a ‘social justice factory, whose only inputs were race, gender and victimhood and whose only outputs were grievance and division’.

What had once been a bastion of free inquiry was gripped by ‘a culture of offence where students are too afraid to speak openly and honestly’.

“Back to Pre-9/11. But It’s Worse”

September 11, 2001 was the first time the United States had been attacked on its mainland since 1812. Nearly 3,000 people were killed. Americans reacted with determination and dignity. American flags were soon everywhere. The idea that the attacks should not go unpunished seemed unanimous. It was promptly proven that the attack came from al-Qaeda; on October 7, the US military started to crush the rear bases of al-Qaeda in Afghanistan and the Taliban who housed them.

US-abandoned Bagram base reportedly operational for first time in two months, as rumors swirl of Chinese military presence

Bagram Airfield, once the linchpin of the US-led NATO mission in Afghanistan, is said to be powered and serving planes again. A foreign force is rumored to be involved, with fingers pointed at China, which denied eyeing the base.

A photo shared on social media purportedly shows the base on Sunday night with its floodlights on. There are claims that several planes have landed at and taken off from the airfield in recent hours. If confirmed, it would be the first time Bagram had served aircraft in almost 50 days, marking a significant development.

Communist China’s Mouthpiece In Canada’s Senate Plays Race Card

Yuen Pau Woo China’s Man In Canada

Senator accused of being China’s ‘mouthpiece’ worries about rise of anti-Asian racism

OTTAWA – Last June, 33 Canadian senators voted to defeat a motion decrying China’s treatment of Uyghur Muslims as a genocide.

While they all faced criticism from some quarters, only one — Sen. Yuen Pau Woo, leader of the Independent Senators Group — seems to have been singled out as an alleged stooge of China’s communist regime, told to resign and “go home.”

Last week, Woo got a similar reaction when he tweeted about the release of Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig, the two Canadians arbitrarily detained by China for nearly three years in retaliation for Canada’s arrest of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou at the behest of the United States.

Mosque Bombed: Memorial service for mother of Taliban’s chief spokesman ‘is targeted by ISIS militants’

A bomb which targeted the entrance of a mosque in the Afghan capital of Kabul on Sunday has left a ‘number of civilians dead’, according to a Taliban spokesman.

The bomb targeted the Eidgah mosque where a memorial service was being held for the mother of Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid.

No one immediately claimed responsibility for the bombing, but attacks in Afghanistan against the Taliban by Islamic State (IS) militants have increased since the Taliban swept to power in mid-August.
