National Socialism ≠ Nazism

Aryan ≠ 'White'.

Race = Quality && Race ≠ Ethnicity.

History is written by the victors.

The truth fears no investigation.

(He) who controls the past controls the future; (he) who controls the present controls the past.

UNITY THROUGH NOBILITY.

Nicaragua accuses Catholic Church of money laundering, freezes accounts


Quote

Nicaraguan police said on Saturday they are investigating several dioceses of the Catholic Church for money laundering, a day after local media reported that the bank accounts of parishes in the Central American country had been frozen.

The police, loyal to the government of President Daniel Ortega which has clashed fiercely with Nicaragua's bishops, said that since May 19 they found "hundreds of thousands of dollars" in Church facilities in various parts of the country.

Investigations "confirmed the unlawful removal of resources from bank accounts that had been ordered by law to be frozen," the police said in a statement.

The police statement said the bank accounts were linked to religious figures convicted of treason and other crimes, and that the investigations confirmed the funds entered the country irregularly.

The police said the investigation also confirmed "other illicit activities, which are still being investigated as part of a money laundering network that has been discovered in the dioceses in different departments."

Last February, a Nicaraguan court sentenced high-profile government critic Bishop Rolando Alvarez to 26 years in prison for treason and cybercrimes, after he refused to board a plane amid the expulsion of 222 other political prisoners.

Ortega also suspended ties with the Vatican in March, shortly after Pope Francis compared his administration to the Nazi dictatorship of Adolf Hitler.

It's OK for deportation to be "white".

Windrush: Hundreds with chronic and mental illness sent back to Caribbean

Quote

Hundreds of long-term sick and mentally ill people from the Windrush generation were sent back to the Caribbean in what has been described as a "historic injustice", the BBC has found.

Formerly classified documents reveal at least 411 people were sent back between the 1950s and the early 1970s, under a scheme that was meant to be voluntary.

Families say they were ripped apart and some were never reunited.

The revelations - which echo the Windrush scandal, in which hundreds of Commonwealth citizens, many from the Caribbean, were wrongly deported - have sparked calls for a public inquiry into the repatriation policy.

Those sent back were among thousands who moved from British colonies to the UK in the decades after World War Two. They were known as the Windrush generation, named after one of the first ships to arrive in the UK, the HMT Empire Windrush. This year will mark the 75th anniversary of the first arrivals.

BBC News has now unearthed documents in the National Archives revealing the scale of the policy. Some experts now think the scheme may have been unlawful because not all the patients had the mental capacity to agree to leave.

June Armatrading's father, Joseph, was one of those sent back.

Like other people from the Caribbean who travelled to the UK after the war, Joseph was British. His birthplace - St Kitts - was a British colony and still administered directly from London, and he was a British passport holder.

Joseph arrived in the UK in 1954 and lived in Nottingham with his wife and five daughters. However, he began struggling with his mental health in the 1960s and was diagnosed with paranoid psychosis. In 1966, he was returned to St Kitts. He never saw his family again.

June, who is now 65, said her mother told her and her sisters their father had "abandoned" them.

She grew up always believing her father didn't love them, causing her a "massive, big heartbreak".

Yet the BBC has seen a letter, written by Joseph, asking to return to the UK so he could rejoin his family. Little is known about what happened to Joseph after this.

And in previously confidential letters, government officials admitted the procedure of repatriating Mr Armatrading had "not been correct". He had been wrongly stripped of his passport, the papers revealed.

When we showed the letters to Ms Armatrading, she was shocked.

"I'm upset. It's upsetting, it's really upsetting… how dare they?" she said. "This was a vulnerable man. You're supposed to look after your vulnerable people, and they didn't. They just left him - they abandoned him."

"The intent and effect of legislation that was passed in that period [1960s and 70s] was to restrict some kinds of migration and not other kinds. It was primarily aimed at what was referred to at the time as 'coloured immigration'."

"Lives have been destroyed. The state now owes it to the descendants of people to provide them with answers and some sort of redress."

Canada Day was 'Humiliation Day' for Chinese immigrants

Quote

Immigration has driven population growth in this country since 1995. About one-quarter of us have ­experienced being a landed immigrant or permanent resident in Canada at some point in our lives. ­StatsCan tells us this was the largest proportion since ­Confederation.

With sustained immigration levels since the 1980s, Canada’s diversity has increased. The 2021 census counted more than 450 ethnic and cultural origins, 200 places of birth, 100 religions and 450 languages (more than 70 of which were the languages of our own Indigenous peoples) among Canada’s residents.

By the early 2040s, half of Canada’s population will comprise immigrants and their Canadian-born children.

A different story was playing out 100 years ago. Canada was encouraging immigration then — until last year set a record for the proportion of Canadians who had been immigrants, 1921 had held the honours — but only certain immigrants were welcome back then.

Those welcome were white, of European ancestry, and preferably either spoke English or came from countries renowned for growing grain. Knowing the words to God Save the King was a bonus.

As for other groups, July 1, 1923, demonstrated how welcome some of those were.

While Canadians paraded in the streets, waved flags, and celebrated Dominion Day and the opportunities this country offered them, Canada’s Chinese Immigration Act, 1923, came into effect. Also known as the Chinese Exclusion Act, it prevented all Chinese not born in Canada — except diplomats, some businesspeople and university students — from coming to Canada.

And it applied not just to Chinese nationals but to people of Chinese descent who were British citizens. Predating the draconian apartheid laws of South Africa by 25 years, the Exclusion Act required all Chinese ­living in Canada, even those born here, to register with the government and carry photo identification as evidence of their compliance with the regulations of the act, or risk fines, detainment or deportation.

The effect was immediate. Wives and children of Chinese men already in Canada could not join them. The lack of Chinese women in Canada limited the ­Chinese community’s growth. Many older men retired to China after the act came into effect, and during the Great Depression, unemployed Chinese were ­encouraged to return to China.

Because of the timing of the act’s implementation, Chinese-Canadians at the time referred to Dominion Day (now Canada Day) as “Humiliation Day.”

Leading the push for the Chinese [anti-] ­Immigration Act was British Columbia, which had seen the ­greatest  amount of Chinese immigration of all ­provinces. Many of these immigrants were invited. Canada needed cheap labour to build railways through hazardous, forbidding mountain terrain, dig ditches in cities, be servants to middle- and upper-class families and shovel manure.

In short, they needed desperate people to come to Canada to do dirty, dangerous and poorly paid work that nobody else wanted to do.

But when these new Canadians and their kids ­starting opening grocery stores, restaurants, laundries and successful freight businesses, white Canadians felt threatened.

Hostility increased after the First World War. Poor economic conditions were blamed on visible ­minorities. Veterans’ associations and trade unions feared that ­Chinese workers would underbid other groups of ­workers, limiting employment opportunities for ­European Canadians.

Political leaders in B.C. responded. Some ­developed and applied community-based “solutions.” George Jay, a white British immigrant, lawyer and ­Victoria School Board chair, helped develop a policy that required ­students of Chinese descent to pass an English test before they could attend public school in ­Victoria — a policy that didn’t apply to children of other ­nationalities. In 1920, he moved more than 200 ­Chinese students attending public schools — even those who spoke perfect English — to segregated facilities on Kings Road and in Rock Bay, sparking a year-long strike by Victoria’s Chinese students.

(The Greater Victoria School District decided in 2020 to rename the elementary school Jay had named for himself. The new name is not yet decided.)

It's OK for debt slavery to be jewish/"white"

Nations where 3.3bn live spend more on debt than health, schools

Quote

Approximately 3.3 billion people – almost half of humanity – now live in countries that spend more money paying interest on their debts than on education or health, according to a new United Nations report.

“Half our world is sinking into a development disaster, fuelled by a crushing debt crisis,” UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres told a press conference launching a report on Wednesday on the state of the world’s debt.

“In 2022, global public debt reached a record $92 trillion and developing countries shoulder a disproportionate amount,” the UN chief said.

Because such a “crushing debt crisis” is concentrated mostly in poor developing countries, it is “not judged to pose a systemic risk to the global financial system”, Guterres said.

“This is a mirage,” he said.

Financial markets may seem not to be suffering yet – but billions of people are and the levels of public debt “are staggering and surging”, he added.

“In Africa, the amount spent on interest payments is higher than spending on either education or health. Developing countries in Asia and Oceania [excluding China] are allocating more funds to interest payments than to health,” the report states.

“Similarly, in Latin America and the Caribbean, developing countries are devoting more money to interest payments rather than to investment. Across the world, rising debt burdens are keeping countries from investing in sustainable development,” it adds.

Guterres said a growing share of debt is held by private creditors who charge sky-high interest rates to developing countries.

As an example, he cited African countries that on average pay four times more for borrowing than the United States and eight times more than the wealthiest European countries.

Another 16 are paying unsustainable interest rates to private creditors [and] a total of 52 countries – almost 40 percent of the developing world – are in serious debt trouble.”

UN trade chief Rebeca Grynspan stressed on Wednesday “the sheer magnitude and speed at which public debt has grown”, pointing to a more than fivefold surge since 2000, “significantly outpacing global GDP [gross domestic product] growth that has only tripled in the same period”.



The evil practise of usury needs to be permanently abolished, and all usurer's should be exterminated.

106th anniversary of the Balfour Declaration: Britain’s original sin
Quote
The war on Gaza comes on the 106th anniversary of the Balfour Declaration - which changed the lives of Palestinians forever.

For centuries, the Ottoman Empire controlled Palestine, until it was conquered in 1917 by advancing British troops during the first world war.

The British Foreign Secretary Arthur Balfour, wrote a letter to a prominent member of the British Jewish community saying his government was in favour of 'the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish People. At that time, only 8% of Palestine's population was Jewish.

The letter also said, "nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine".

But after the war ended in 1918, the newly created League of Nations "mandated" Palestine to British control, with the language of the Balfour declaration written in.

And in 1948, after the second world war, British occupiers left Palestine, the newly-formed United Nations declared the creation of the state of Israel, and more than 700,000 Palestinians lost their land.

To explain more about this, Mahjoub Zweiri joins us here in our Studio. He's a Professor of Middle East Politics at Qatar University.

Europeans love to deny genocides.

Mostly because they make them look bad.

So, I thought I’ll compile a continuous list because I’m kinda all for it when Europeans are remembered for who they really are: pale monsters.
