The whole world should be worried by the ‘siege of Ottawa’. This is about much more than a few anti-vaxx truckers
Arwa Mahdawi

There’s a lot going on in the world right now. If you’re not Canadian, then the protest in Ottawa might not be top of your list of things to worry about. But I’m afraid you should be worried. You should certainly be paying attention. What’s unfolding in Ottawa is not a grassroots protest that has spontaneously erupted out of the frustration of local lorry drivers. Rather, it’s an astroturfed movement – one that creates an impression of widespread grassroots support where little exists – funded by a global network of highly organised far-right groups and amplified by Facebook’s misinformation machine. The drama may be centred in Canada, but what is unfolding has repercussions for us all.
“Donations from abroad are quite a common part of any large crowdfunding campaign,” Ciaran O’Connor, an expert on online extremism at the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, told Politico. “But the scale of this one is unprecedented.”
:rotfl:
Thanks to the wonders of modern technology, fringe groups can have an outsize influence. I’m sure you’ve heard of troll farms: organised groups that weaponise social media to spread misinformation, promote division and influence public opinion.
According to an internal Facebook report written in late 2019 and leaked to MIT Technology Review, troll farms were reaching 140 million users every month. Three-quarters of these users had never followed any of the pages: they’d had the content thrust upon them by Facebook’s engagement-hungry content-recommendation system.
Meanwhile, on Telegram, a social network favoured by the right, people across the world are urging each other to replicate the tactics in Canada in their home towns. Canada may not be on the brink of civil war, but what is happening in Ottawa is one small front in a global information war. And the baddies, I’m afraid to say, are winning.

Protestors block streets against vaccine mandates in New Zealand
Inspired by Canada protests, hundreds of people on Tuesday blocked roads outside New Zealand's parliament against vaccine mandates and restrictions applied in the country. Most protestors were unmasked and held placards calling for freedom.

Twelve days into the siege of Ottawa, copycat trucker protests are springing up around the world as their cause threatens to trigger a broader anti-government movement.

Hundreds of articulated lorries continue to block roads in front of Canada’s parliament, while anti-lockdown and anti-vaccine protesters in cars and pick-up trucks are still screaming “Freedom!” in residential areas and accosting residents for wearing facemasks.

Inspired by their Canadian colleagues, in recent days protesters have jammed roads in the capitals of Australia and New Zealand. In France, opponents of President Macron’s vaccine policy have called for vehicles to converge on Paris on Friday in solidarity with the Canadian truckers. Organisers claim to have thousands of supporters for the Convoy de la Liberté, which has ties to the yellow vest movement, which paralysed France in the autumn of 2018.

They are just preparing for Chini takeover of Taiwan ., likewise this will be a controlled one., a tacit understanding between the ching chongs and the western countries.

kitji, This doomsday clock is a enormous fraud, like most things in the western worldview narrative. Historically, it seems like another instrument by "first world" colonial powers to perpetuate the fraud that (1) they are helpless (2) they are not the ones primarily responsible for moving the world towards conflict. Except they are ones perpetuating conflict towards a "doomsday" future, and the oiseaules are supposed to be "scientists", as if that absolves them critical thinking.

If the USA stopped pushing NATO, this doomsday clock would not be an issue now, no? During the cold war, with MAD doctrines it seemed relevant, but now these jokers have added "climate change" to the doomsday clock, while effectively trying to palm off the problem to developing nations when these first world countries are the main culprits that are responsible for climate change. Total frauds.

Who is he referring to in cryptic manner? Anglo or Jewish?

@iAsura:

• India’s role in failing COVID, world wide.
• Modi’s push for indigenisation of defence acquisitions.
• Biden as POTUS
• Modi-Pope meet
• Growing warmth in Pakistan-Putin relationship
• Bill Gate’s Paki civilian honour
• Pakistan getting funds at the last moment



1/n

These are all connected events. And one single force is behind these events.

The force that prefers a divided Europe. The force who is committed to make their European comeback. The force that carefully crafted Pakistan-India & India-China conflicts.



2/n

• They were the ones who weakened Christianity in Europe and US. Promoted all sorts of wokeism via their puppet industry (Hollywood/Bollywoodetc…check for real funding sources)…They are trying to tame China via Hong Kong, Xinjiang, Taiwan etc. India via Islamic terrorism

3/n

They control almost entire media in all democratic countries. The creator & controller of Muslim Brotherhood, Let, JeM etc… They ALL other religious extremism in ALL religions.

Their primary target is China.

Secondary targets are:

USA, Germany, France, India.

Putin is their puppet. Their mission is the weaken EU. Divide it. Reinstall chaos and animosity in Europe so that they could initiate their return. They have territorial ambitions from Europe to Middle East.

They own Japan via debt. Controls Korea (both sides) via money & chaos.

They have significant presence in China too especially Southern China & East-Central China. But their motive is to control all of it.

They have extremely deep penetration in India (via US).

THEY are the real shield of Pakistan, their toothpick of sorts.

India’s North East has been one of their key focus areas with increased activities…

Watch out for them.

REMEMBER THEY CAN MAKE YOU DANCE ON THEIR TUNES, AND MAKE YOU FIGHT YOUR BROTHERS AND FRIENDS …

Be careful about the info you consume!

End.

Saudi Crown Prince says 'do not care' if Biden misunderstands him - The Atlantic
"Simply, I do not care," he said. It is up to Biden "to think about the interests of America," he said when asked whether Biden misunderstood things about him.

"We don't have the right to lecture you in America," he said. "The same goes the other way."

A most welcome development.

The US & lapdogs response at this point is so over the top, it has to be somewhat off-putting for anyone not already in that camp.

It's an extreme bloodthirst and war hysteria.
The cutting off of SWIFT, the seizure of foreign assets, the total lack of respect for institutions, contracts, and promises already made... this is going to backfire on them, even if they keep Russia on the back foot for a while.

Edit: the absolute sad state of Reuters and other "neutral, objective" Western news sources. Headline: Saudi crown prince plays the oil card in quest for U.S. recognition

King - Modi
Queen - MBS
Boss - Putin
Joker - Biden
Dragon - Cheen
Camel - UAE

Thread :

While all eyes are glued on Russia's Military Offensive in Ukraine...a lot is happening behind curtains.

US thought of Isolating Russia, but....

Global chess board is changing & "The Queen" is coming in front on behalf of "The King".

Interesting? Read on.

(1/11)

So....who is "The Queen"? I will give you hints. You Guess.

■ President Vladimir Putin spoke by phone with Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on Thursday, buttressing a crucial geopolitical alliance.

Not enough? .... Okay. Take more hints.

(2/11)
■ Israel can become a “potential ally” if Palestinian conflict resolved – Saudi Crown Prince.

■ Saudi Arabia "considers options" of reducing investments in the US, says Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

Are these hints enough?

Yes!!! "The Queen" is Mohammed bin Salman.

(3/11)

Did you notice..Saudi is coming OPENLY on stage for 1st time?

Same Saudi..which was at loggerheads with Russia's "The Boss" Putin over Syria Conflict? Same Saudi..which was close to NATO ? Same Saudi which was behind while UAE establishing diplomatic relations with Israel?

4/11

Why "Same" Saudi coming on front stage?

Geo Politics at reforming stage. Oil losing it's relevance slowly & steadily. Natural Gas,Hydrogen Fuel & Solar energy replacing it very fast.

Saudi realised it much be4 US & "The King" knew it too well.

"King" aligned with "Queen"

5/11

Now "The Queen" is coming out in open.

"Queen" influences Gulf to align with "The King". New trade route to counter China is developed. Which trade route?

Bharat - Saudi-UAE - Jordan - Israel - Cyprus - Greece....gateway to Europe.

(Pl check my Youtube Video for details)

6/11

"Queen" knows that Oil is temporary....Gas is durable.

So..."King" co-ordinates conflicting parties in larger interest.

"Joker" finds himself lost in this game. He thinks "Queen" needs him in Syria,Yemen,Lebanon,Iraq..

But what if "Queen" starts flirting with "The Boss"?

7/11

Joker has LOST the plot. He lost it yesterday TOO when "Joker" COULDN'T get it mentioned "RUSSIA INVADED UKRAINE" inspite of having Japan & Australia on it's side. (Check Statement).

"Joker" had to settle with tame words "Ukraine Conflict"

That's the POWER of "THE KING".

8/11 https://t.co/V8zhEtsH9w

So won't Joker make a come back?

Definitely he will. He will Target "The Camel"of"The Queen" !!

"JOKER" is Trying TO PUT UAE IN FATF GREY LIST.

Does that make any difference? Bull Shit. "The Camel" acts on instructions of "The Queen" who is SOOO VERY CLOSE to "The King".

9/11

So...ultimately, who is THE "Target"?

A "Joker" is a Joker who ACTS like a "Boss" but turns a laughing stock.

Then Who is the Real "Target"?

It's "Dragon" who wants to Swallow World & is keeping hopes alive on "Queen"&”Boss" who are actually Trusted Allies of "The King"

10/11

I am not a Fiction Writer. Use your brains..Connect the dots..

"Joker" has personal investments in "Dragon"..so if the "Boss" is standing against "Joker" in Ukraine..He is ACTUALLY standing against the "Dragon" with whom he shares borders.

And..."THE KING" is smiling.

(11/11)

Dollar the US currency being flushed down the gutter!

"We're banning all imports of Russian gas, oil, and energy," : US President Joe Biden.

Done, Mr Biden? Okay.

Now Russian President Putin has signed a decree restricting imports and exports of products and raw materials to "ensure the security of the Russian Federation.

Now how does it hurt US & EU?

Russia has rich stock of Iron Ore, Nickel, Diamonds, Coal, Palladium, Aluminium, Uranium, Gold, and Platinum. According to estimates, it accounts for almost 14% of the world's total mineral extraction.

Who gets hurt more? Russia or US & EU?

Russia has already tapped new customers. It has already offered Heavy Discount on Oil to Bharat.

Bharat, China, Middle-East countries including Saudi, UAE have already shown interest in alternate payment mechanism bypassing USD.

Russian Bank VTB launches Chinese yuan accounts. Talks already on for payment in Rupees with Bharat.

Biden is pushing "THE" US to group of 3rd World Countries.

Meantime, Comedian President Zelenskyy has given hints on accepting Russian Demands.
He has in principle shown willingness to....
1. Not accept NATO Membership.
2. Accepting Crimea as part of Russia.
3. Recognition to DPR & LPR as autonomous regions.
But all this after loss of Precious Lives & nearly 20 Billion USD worth Assets & Wealth.

This happens when You elect Jokers as State Heads.

PS: When I say "Jokers", Pl don't relate to Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray Ji.

Biden & Zelenskyy are ATLEAST elected by people.

Saudi Arabia Considers Accepting Yuan Instead of Dollars for Chinese Oil Sales
Talks between Riyadh and Beijing have accelerated as the Saudi unhappiness grows with Washington

China buys more than 25% of the oil that Saudi Arabia exports. If priced in yuan, those sales would boost the standing of China’s currency. The Saudis are also considering including yuan-denominated futures contracts, known as the petroyuan, in the pricing model of Saudi Arabian Oil Co. , known as Aramco.
HUGE if Saudis go ahead!

Why US hates Putin -HERE'S WHY:

Putin started RT – Russia’s own global news channel, banned GMO, kicked out George Soros, and fought Cultural Marxism. He built over 15,000 churches, encouraged families to have more children, and banned transgender/gay propaganda to children.

2/2 - Also - Putin rebuilt Russia’s military, crushed Islamic terrorists and, in a geopolitical stunner that transpired in Syria, prevailed against a mighty coalition of the US, Israel, UK, France, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and 40,000 jihadists, thwarting their regime change op

US hates Putin because he refused to work with USA's plan for Russia as drafted in Washington DC after the cold war. Putin is ver bad for not rolling over and dying when asked to. No reason why the strategy used by USA against Russia cannot be used against India down the line with chinese connivance.

I have in another thread. Here it is:

Tagore's grandfather Dwarkanath was a drug runner for the Brits. The Brits were growing drugs in India and selling them worldwide including China and the US. Dwar was considered a PirAli (read this as converted from Muslim) and Tagore is really Thakur in another form. Dwar was also owner of Sonaguchi (Golden Temple) a brothel which provided women for the British soldiers/officers stationed in India. His wife severely objected to this and hence the outing out of Dwar. All the Drug runners for the Brits became rich and there is quite a lot of famous names in Indian business whose precedent is Drug agents for the Brits. The Brits imported labor (mostly the dregs/ruffians from society) from China to grow hashish in the Assam area, no wonder India has problems in that area. Afghanistan, Pakistan, Northern India were all drug growing areas. The Boston Tea party is really about revolt of the US Drug Agents against the Brits, Indian Tea was the cover for drugs being shipped.

The entire history from the British about its rule in India is a massive hoax and con job, everything written, played out in practice is patently false. All the British civil servants were thugs who subverted reality. Please read up on this character Max Arthur Macauliffe who wrote a substantial portion of the Granth Sahib of the Sikhs and injected his version of the Abrahamic faith principles (euphemistically termed as translation) into Sikhism.

You will not get any evidence anywhere on this, since the Brits hid a lot stuff under the cover. I have old pictures of centers in India which processed marijuana during the british era. Dwar and Sonaguchi information is available online if you do a google search. So take it for what is worth, if you don't believe them no worries I am not going to convince you. But ask yourself why there were famines (they killed 10s of millions of Indians) in India during the British - the answer is obvious, they wanted to grow marijuana instead of rice.

BTW: I asserted that Tagore did not know English.. Read this from Emory EDU blogs :

Tagore and Yeats met for the first time on June 27, 1912, at the home of photographer William Rothenstein. In a letter to Rothenstein in May 1935, Yeats wrote, “Damn Tagore. We got out three good books, Sturge Moore and I, because he thought it more important to see and know English than to be be a great poet, he brought out sentimental rubbish and wrecked his reputation. Tagore does not know English, no Indian can know English

Truth does trickle out.

That seems like a racist rant than truth.

If "no indian can know english", what about this guy - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V._S._Srinivasa_Sastri

To me, it seems like these britshits wanted the narrative to go differently than what Tagore intended. Not a fan of tagore but based on what is in this blog post, I wouldn't think that is enough evidence to judge Tagore's english proficiency.

Cut it out man. Just because you are gullible to all the unverified crap that's floating on the internet does not mean you have to regurgitate it as truth in this forum. Please spare us the details.

Biden reiterated that the US does not seek a new Cold War with China; it does not aim to change China’s system; the revitalization of its alliances is not targeted at China; the US does not support “Taiwan independence”; and it has no intention to seek a conflict with China. The US is ready to have candid dialogue and closer cooperation with China, stay committed to the one-China policy, and effectively manage competition and disagreements to ensure the steady growth of the relationship.

Dwar was considered a PirAli (read this as converted from Muslim) and Tagore is really Thakur in another form. Dwar was also owner of Sonaguchi (Golden Temple) a brothel which provided women for the British soldiers/officers stationed in India. His wife severely objected to this and hence the outing out of Dwar. The Brits imported labor (mostly the dregs/ruffians from society) from China to grow hashish in the Assam area, no wonder India has problems in that area. Afghanistan, Pakistan, Northern India were all drug growing areas.

The entire history from the British about its rule in India is a massive hoax and con job, everything written, played out in practice is patently false. All the British civil servants were thugs who subverted reality. Please read up on this character Max Arthur Macauliffe who wrote a substantial portion of the Granth Sahib of the Sikhs and injected his version of the Abrahamic faith principles (euphemistically termed as translation) into Sikhism.
A lot of what you quote does not make any sense and it has lots and lots of misinformation, but the below quote take the cake
The Boston Tea party is really about revolt of the US Drug Agents against the Brits, Indian Tea was the cover for drugs being shipped.
This is patently false. Where did you get so much mis-information? Can you at least site any reliable sources for everything you said?

Dwarknath Tagore like Ratanbhai Tata (father of JRD) were opium traders, buying from farmers and selling to British for exporting to China.

Britain was running a trade deficit with Chinese because of Chinese payments needed to be settled in silver, so British came up with selling opium to Chinese which eventually lead to opium wars.

Who cares. This is not at all relevant to this thread.

This may not be the ideal thread. If so I apologise. I am looking for some information on behalf of a friend about German work visa, permanent resident and later, grant of German citizenship. His daughter is going through a troubled matrimonial relationship with her husband. She had gone to Germany on a dependent visa and is currently living in India with her child owing to matrimonial differences. The husband who has applied for permanent resident status wants her to come back with their child. The girl's father suspects there is no genuine change of heart on the part of his son in law but is merely a ruse to get the child admitted to a school which in turn will enhance his claims to grant of permanent resident status. Once that is achieved he may file for divorce and claim child custody leaving the daughter with no option but to return to India. My friend doesn't have the financial capacity to engage in a legal process in German courts.
Any insight on how the German immigration and naturalisation process works will be greatly appreciated.

Women gets preference in child custody cases. Secondly if she is not happy with treatment she can evict him by simply calling police ( even in middle of night). I think she can come and start living . I assume she has some kind of valid visa. EVEN if she comes and doesn't live with him it is OK. First thing she has to do us get child enrolled in school. It is good for her as well. Not for this thread. I assume Mods will clear this up soon.

One more thing let me to highlight that even house is owned by husband women can evict him in middle of night. Guy goes to confinment till hearing and if is found to abusing ( even verbal) then they are ordered to separate. Which means man pays lady for upkeep of the children till they are 18 years. Half of the property is given to women. So nothing to loose.

Thanks rsingh. Yes you are right. It is off topic. No more from me on this.

@sidhant:
Chinese FM proposed 3 point agenda to NSA Doval
1) sides should view bilateral relations with a long-term vision
2) they should see each other's development with a win-win mentality
3) both countries should take part in the multilateral process with a cooperative posture

-------------------->
@dikgaj :
1) That means India must accelerate its prep for a potential two-front war. China is preparing for a world it thinks will hv Russia weakened, confined to the "north", India isolated, and neither Russ can nor US wants to intervene to stop China expanding further west and south.

2) While it may look Russ will come out the worse for the wear after current action, the bear is far from being down and out. From India's own view, its actually important to shore up Russ within the Russ-China dynamic, for ironically it does weaken China even if ppl see ow.

3) The US will encourage China to move west, playing its not interested, pretend that it didnt - and offer intervention after what they expect to be sufficient bleeding of India. Nothing benefits their racial and geostrategic goals more than if China and India bleed each other.

4) Russia remaining strong, not too weakened vis a vis China - while playing at a degree of overt understanding with China, is the best time buying mechanism for India. This will check the basically racist and imperialist Atlanticist viciousness thats waiting to unleash.

5) USA only comes reliably to aid of allies who are European dominated/colonized society (with virtual eradication of natives). USA's gestures of alliance should not be trusted by India, as underneath, European colonial/racial/religious agenda decides what will actually be done.

6) non-(European)white, non-Catholic/Protestant-Christian dominated countries who have relied on the USA, (except UK linked Islamist enclaves) all ended up abandoned to horrendous dictatorships, foreign conquest or jihadi destruction of whatever chances of normality they had.

7) India must think of this period as the period between the two world wars and between the merry waltz between Europe and USSR. Soviets then even helped German Reichswehr to bypass treaty constraints, knowing they will fight. But dont get the timing so wrong like Stalin.

Make friends while getting ready to fight them. Thats the mantra for the coming decade.

56 years ago India asked USA for food to feed it,s people (pl-480). Today there is every possibility of India having to export wheat so that it can feed the americans just like 1966 but in the reverse direction . How the mighty have fallen. But do not expect the fake news media in the west to tell u the truth.
