Most notably, Islam and its effects on Classical Civilization, and various forms of leftism from Soviet era communism, to postmodernism and all the flavours of galloping statism and totalitarianism such as Nazism and Fascism which are increasingly snuffing out the classical liberalism which created our near, miraculous civilization the West has been building since the time of Socrates.
This document was written around the time this site was created, for those who wish to understand what this site is about. And while our understanding of the world and events has grown since then, the basic ideas remain sound and true to the purpose.

Is Russia Covering Up Chinese Virus Cases?

The following are some of the abuses Muslims inflicted on Christians throughout the month of December, 2019; they are categorized by theme:
The Slaughter of Christians
Nigeria: The Islamic State in West Africa Province released a video of the execution of 11 Christian aid workers on the day after Christmas. The brief video shows one Christian being shot followed by 10 others being beheaded by masked jihadis standing behind the tied hostages. “This message is to the Christians in the world,” a man’s voice narrates over the footage. “Those who you see in front of us are Christians, and we will shed their blood as revenge for the two dignified sheikhs, the caliph of the Muslims, and the spokesman for the Islamic State [who were killed by the U.S.]” Before being slaughtered, the captives reportedly made pleas, including to Nigeria president Muhammadu Buhari, to save them. Buhari, who has himself been accused of turning a blind eye to the persecution of Christians in Nigeria—and even abetting it—condemned the executions, adding that “these barbaric killers don’t represent Islam.”

Is Russia Covering Up Chinese Virus Cases?

Is a totalitarian dictatorship covering stuff up? Probably.
If there’s any lesson to take away from the Chinese Virus, it’s that dictatorships can’t be trusted to tell the truth about internal conditions. And one of the major bugs of globalization was the insistence that we had to integrate totalitarian regimes into the network with the Chinese Virus as the end result. And of course it goes beyond China. The so-called “international community” to which the expert class, the media, and the weight of globalist opinion pays tribute to is little better than a collection of dictatorships. With results like these.

Video shows Algerians protesting #Turkish government in Sabiha Gokcen Airport of #Istanbul over being unable to return #Algeria this afternoon! #Erdogan brought 2,500 Algerians to #Turkey in-order to send them illegally to #Greece as refugees. Now they want go home.
According to others in the thread, some (all?) are tourists, who are not allwoed to return by the Algerian government because of COVID-19. And this happened 4 or 6 days ago, and it’s ?stanbul Airport, not Sabiha airport.
Still, interesting videos. Turkish police is not known for its subtlety..

Violence mars Guinea referendum vote (abcnews, Mar 23, 2020)
https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/violence-mars-guinea-referendum-vote-69753664
“Violence marred the weekend’s vote in Guinea, with at least four killed in violence between security forces and demonstrators opposed to a referendum that could see the president try to stay in power beyond his mandate.
Opposition parties said Monday at least 10 people were killed during Sunday’s vote, while the government put the figure at four and said only two of them were directly caused by the violence.
Some 5 million voters were registered to vote in a double ballot Sunday despite fears of COVID-19. They went to the polls to choose 14 National Assembly members and to vote on a referendum that would keep presidencies to a two-term limit and increase terms from five years to seven.
President Alpha Conde, whose second and currently final term ends in December, has implied that his previous terms served will not count if the referendum goes through.
A coalition of opposition and civil society groups, the National Front for the Defense of the Constitution, has been demonstrating against the referendum, and called for further protests this week.
“The people of Guinea rose up courageously to say no,” said FNDC spokesman Ibrahima Diallo.
Guinea has at least two confirmed cases of the new coronavirus.”

Chinese Authorities Underreporting New Infections in Epicenter of Wuhan: Leaked Documents
The Chinese regime has maintained that there have been no new domestic infections of the CCP virus in the entire country since March 18.
Local authorities say that the epidemic has leveled off, as they ease travel restrictions and tell people to return to work.
But the situation in the ground zero of China’s epidemic, the city of Wuhan, is much worse than what has been officially reported, according to a series of internal government documents obtained by The Epoch Times.
The Epoch Times refers to the novel coronavirus, which causes the disease COVID-19, as the CCP virus because the Chinese Communist Party’s coverup and mismanagement allowed the virus to spread throughout China and create a global pandemic.
The documents include four reports from the Wuhan Municipal Health Commission, which were statistical data sheets about diagnostic test results in the city on March 14.
The data showed that there were 91 newly diagnosed patients in Wuhan on March 14. China’s National Health Commission only reported four cases for that date.

California Police to Use Chinese-Made Patrol Drones Equipped with Cameras and Loudspeakers to Monitor Coronavirus Shutdown
Never let a crisis go to waste, right?
California is really ramping up its efforts to control the population after a couple dozen people died from the Coronavirus.
Governor Gavin Newsom recently said he was considering martial law after 12 people died from the Coronavirus.
Now a California police department is planning on using drones with night vision cameras and loudspeakers to monitor the population amid the Coronavirus shutdown after approximately 28 confirmed deaths in the state.

Another colony, like Lombardy. Maybe they can deal with the bums that Calif demonrats have lured to the state.
“Turned Process into Left-Wing Episode of Supermarket Sweep!” Mitch McConnell CRUSHES Democrats and Nancy Pelosi Before Monday Coronavirus Relief Vote
“Are You Kidding Me?… Democrats won’t let us fund hospitals or save businesses unless they get to dust off the Green New Deal!”
Mitch McConnell CRUSHED Senate Democrats before the Monday morning Coronavirus Relief Package vote.
The US Senate bill offers up to $3,000 per family and billions in relief to small businesses. The bill expands unemployment insurance, hospital relief and relief to small businesses across the country.
McConnell slammed Democrats for pushing to include their Green New Deal regulations inside the relief bill. Democrats held up the legislation for tax credits for solar energy and wind energy and new emission standards for the US airlines. Pure insanity!

Houthi Court Upholds Execution Order of Bahais Leader
https://aawsat.com/english/home/article/2194861/houthi-court-upholds-execution-order-bahais-leader
“A Houthi-run appeal court upheld on Sunday a verdict to execute the leader of the Bahai religious minority in the latest move reflecting the Iran-backed group’s exploitation of the judiciary in areas under its control.
The verdict supports the confiscation of the properties of Hamed bin Haydarah and the closure and confiscation of the Bahai community’s offices in the country.
The Houthi appellate denied Haydrah the right to attend the session in person or through a lawyer.
Since they took over Sanaa by force on September 21, 2014, Houthi militias have used their courts in Sanaa to issue hundreds of death sentences against their political, military, and sectarian opponents.
Yemeni human rights activists and international organizations accuse the Houthi group of sectarian targeting of opponents in Yemen.
“Sectarian incitement is practiced against religious and ideological minorities in Yemen, and they are restricted from gathering and practicing rituals, which makes them vulnerable to prosecution, torture, and even killing, which poses a serious threat to religious civil minorities,” Yemeni activist Khaled Abdulkarim told Asharq Al-Awsat about Houthi practices in the country.
The Bahais are a small religious community in Yemen. In their areas of control, Houthis have erased all forms of dissent and prosecuted compatriots with different religious including the Bahais.
Houthis have also imposed sectarian changes in areas they control, where many religious rituals of other sects were slashed and replaced.
Bahais, according to activists, have been officially hunted down by Houthis since August 2016 with dozens being rounded up by the group.
The homes of Bahais were targeted by continuous raids, and Houthis confiscated their property, terrorized their children, arrested them, and threatened them with death, forcing many of them to flee.
Also, Yemeni activists believe that there is a lot of evidence pointing to an Iranian role behind the persecution of Bahais in Yemen.”
Haftar Mocks Ankara by Offering to Hand Over Debris of Turkish Armored Vehicle
https://aawsat.com/english/home/article/2194976/haftar-mocks-ankara-offering-hand-over-debris-turkish-armored-vehicle
“The Libyan National Army (LNA), led by Khalifa Haftar, mocked on Sunday Turkey by officially and publicly offering to hand it over debris of an armored vehicle with corpses of Turkish troops, who were manning it.
LNA forces responded to an attack by Turkish forces in the capital, Tripoli, and destroyed an ACV-15 Turkish armored vehicle.
“We offered the enemies the armored vehicle and corpses, but they refused to receive them, claiming those inside the Turkish vehicle are not Libyans,” LNA spokesman Ahmed al-Mismari said.
The attack represented the latest violation of the humanitarian truce, which was welcomed by the United Nations and its mission to Libya (UNSMIL), to enable the country to respond to the new coronavirus outbreak…”
Turkey Detains 5 Kurdish Mayors as Crackdown Continues
https://aawsat.com/english/home/article/2195221/turkey-detains-5-kurdish-mayors-crackdown-continues
“Turkish authorities detained mayors of five municipalities in Kurdish-majority areas on Monday as part of a widening government crackdown against the pro-Kurdish Peoples’ Democratic Party (HDP), the party’s co-leader said.
Mithat Sancar told reporters security forces had besieged municipality buildings in the southeastern province of Batman, as well as those in the Egil, Silvan, Lice and Ergani districts of Diyarbakir province on Monday morning.
He said five co-mayors in four municipalities were detained. He did not give details about the mayor of Lice but said another co-mayor who had previously been dismissed was also being held, reported Reuters.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his government accuse the HDP of having links to the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) militant group, leading to prosecutions of thousands of its members and some leaders. The HDP denies such links.
The HDP appoints one male and one female as mayor to promote gender-equality, calling them co-mayors, although only one is recognized by the central government.
Sancar said the measures on Monday morning were similar to those taken when Ankara appointed trustees in other municipalities, adding that the party had not received official notification from the central government.
“We reject with hatred this vile attempt that does not shy away from showing enmity against Kurds even in these difficult days when the whole world is battling an epidemic,” he said.
The Interior Ministry did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
Ankara has appointed trustees to 31 municipalities won by the HDP in March 2019 local elections, an HDP source said, adding that 21 co-mayors had been formally arrested so far, in addition to the six detained on Monday.
The former co-leaders of the HDP have both been jailed since 2016 on terrorism charges, with several other prominent members accused of supporting terrorism over what the government says are links to the PKK.”

Police said some of the victims also rubbed the toxic substance on their bodies for protection against the novel coronavirus…”

channel 4 – Italian volunteers risk lives for the sick and isolated
120 people have died in one little town – Nembro, northeast of Bergamo, the epicentre of the outbreak.
Throughout the lockdown there, a group of eighty volunteers has been providing services to those who are sick and isolated at home.
