President Biden signed an executive order in April to allow his administration to “deprive American citizens and organizations of their rights and property by arbitrarily linking those persons to real, imagined, or vaguely defined activities of the Russian government,” according to a report in a conservative American publication.

The Executive Order(EO) signed on April 15, on Blocking Property with Respect to Specified Harmful Foreign Activities of the Government of the Russian Federation, is designed to punish American citizens.

“The Biden administration unilaterally makes the determination and requires neither criminal acts nor intent. The punishment is blocking assets and a prohibition on any dealing with the accused person. Spouses and adult children of individuals found guilty by accusation under this EO are punished, too,” The American Thinker reported.

The Biden administration recently increased its hostile rhetoric toward Russia while ordering a military show of force by sending naval ships toward the Black Sea in response to alleged Russian threats. For that reason, many Americans assumed that the EO was directed at Russia. However, on closer inspection, it is rather directed at dissent in the US itself.

“Over the past four years, the Democrat Party, Fake News, and Big Tech have been frequently portraying their opponents as Russian trolls or Russian misinformation operators. The Russian collusion narrative, initially invented to overthrow the Trump administration, has been used to smear many conservative movements. Now this effort has been crowned by an Executive Order,” The American Thinker continued.

According to the magazine, the EO allows the Biden regime to “eliminate its opposition, quickly and quietly”.

Section 1 of the EO enumerates prohibited activities and defines guilty persons as those “determined” by the Secretary of Treasury [Janet Yellen] and/or Secretary of State [Antony Blinken] in consultation with the Attorney General [Merrick Garland] to be:

(a)(ii) responsible for or complicit in, or to have directly or indirectly engaged or attempted to engage in, any of the following for or on behalf of, or for the benefit of, directly or indirectly, the Government of the Russian Federation:

(A) malicious cyber-enabled activities;

(B) interference in a United States or other foreign government election;

(C) actions or policies that undermine democratic processes or institutions in the United States or abroad;

(D) transnational corruption […]

The EO criminalizes speech and political activities, based on totally arbitrary and subjective decisions. The Biden administration will be able to define “malicious activities,” “democratic processes or institutions,” as it wants.

The Biden regime is thus able to arbitrarily deprive conservative Americans of their property and rights without due process as the EO does not require that an actual crime was committed. “False cyber-attribution or fake bounty claims are sufficient. Biden’s remarks to the EO showed no regard to the culpability of any targeted US citizens or other persons,” the magazine pointed out.

“This EO effectively gives Big Tech, banks, and credit card companies a new pretext to deplatform conservatives and anyone else who opposes the Biden regime by claiming that they are now engaged in illegal activity,” based on false rumours that Russia could be interfering in elections against Democratic Party candidates for example.

Philosopher and media expert Norbert Bolz sees Europe in great distress in the field of culture. “The sinking ship, the lost position, the defeated point – these are metaphors that seem to me to make sense in describing the state of European culture. It really only exists in the great old books, the great music from Bach to Mahler and the architectures of centuries long past.”

And further: “I mean, European culture is a sinking ship, but we should stay on board until the last moment, because there are no lifeboats.” Norbert Bolz perceives “politically correct and ‘woke’ intellectuals” as a threat to culture.

What is to be done, in Bolz’s view? “Conservatives and liberals today have the task of defending the subculture of reason and freedom against these Taliban of the West – as long as it is still possible.”

Michael Schnedlitz, Secretary General of the Austrian Freedom Party (FPÖ), who recently visited Hungary, praised Hungarian family policy in an interview with daily Magyar Hírlap. According to the politician, it is high time for European right-wing parties to come together.

Katalin Novák, minister without portfolio for families and vice-president of Fidesz, met last week in Budapest with the secretary general of the FPÖ, Michael Schnedlitz. After the meeting, Novák wrote in a Facebook post that “our goal is a strong, democratic European right”.

The meeting was primarily centered around family policies, and later the Hungarian measures were listed as an example to be followed in an article in the FPÖ’s Unzensuriert news portal, highlighting the lifelong income tax exemption of mothers with four children. It was emphasized that the Hungarian government is in favor of the traditional family image, as opposed to political correctness in Brussels.

Speaking to Magyar Hírlap, Michael Schnedlitz expressed his satisfaction and called the meeting very inspiring.

“Protecting families also means preserving identity, the Hungarian measures are unique,” he emphasized. “I can only support the goal set by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán to have more Hungarian children instead of more immigrants coming to the country.”

The politician also called the subsidies for large families “impressive”.

Answering a question whether his party would like to take part in the new, emerging European right-wing cooperation initiated by Orbán with Matteo Salvini, president of the Italian League and Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, Schnedlitz said Orbán, Salvini and Morawiecki are fascinating personalities who have a vision for Europe. Schnedlitz emphasized that with a strong right-wing-conservative coalition, Europe could return to its original values.

“The time of the European renaissance has indeed come, the health and economic emergency must be overcome. Christian traditions and national sovereignty must be at the forefront,” the politician stressed, adding that the FPÖ also has an interest in uniting patriotic parties. He said the task now is to rebuild Europe after the epidemic.

Austria’s Freedom Party praises Hungarian family policies

It is a case that still makes so angry: In autumn 2020, a Muslim mother claimed in a video in Arabic that her then four-year-old daughter had been raped at the St. Martin Catholic day-care centre in Koblenz (Rhineland-Palatinate).

Although after a medical examination it quickly became clear that there was no truth to the allegations, hell began for the daycare’s only male educator (44): death threats, police protection, three more criminal charges with false accusations – and finally a heart attack.

The parents of the alleged victim of the fabricated rape have disappeared without a trace. Now it is revealed: According to the municipality of Koblenz, they had applied for asylum in Germany in vain!

A spokesperson: “The asylum procedures had ended and they were thus obliged to leave the country”. After a conversation “concerning a voluntary departure” they disappeared: “We have no idea where the family could be now.

If they were stopped by the police, they would be asked to “contact the competent foreigners authority”.

However: No investigations have been initiated against the girl’s parents for pretending that a criminal offence has been committed. The Koblenz Attorney General Jürgen Brauer: “At present, it must be assumed that the parents are convinced that abuse of their child has occurred.”

According to Koblenz Attorney General Jürgen Brauer, there are 137 proceedings because of the harassment, mainly committed online – they range from defamation to public incitement to murder: “In 30 proceedings, we have filed an application for the issuing of a criminal order, ten proceedings of which have been legally concluded. Fines of up to 100 daily penalty units were predominantly imposed/applied for.”

In one other case, the public prosecutor’s office brought charges, seven proceedings went to other German public prosecutor’s offices and one to authorities in Austria. 37 preliminary proceedings were dropped, 15 are still pending. In 46 cases, no perpetrator could be identified.

In the video, the mother had told of the rape of her daughter by several men, videotaped group sex and beatings of children. As a result, sheer hatred spread against the only male educator.

Among other things, the police advised him to change his name and move abroad. He became unfit for work and ended up in a psychiatric day clinic with depression. Later he suffered a heart attack. The 44-year-old: “For example, I am said to have collected children with a camper van and recorded porn with them.”

The Dutch Council of State affirmed that the law allows for the revocation of the nationality of six Moroccan-Dutch jihadists who fought in the ranks of the Islamic State and other terrorist groups thus approving the decision of Mark Harbers, former secretary of Justice and Security. The revocation of their nationality had been pronounced several years ago.

In a ruling on Friday, the Council of State said the Dutch government acted legally by depriving six Dutch-Moroccan binational citizens of their Dutch nationality over allegations that they had travelled to Syria to join the extremist group.

The case involves four men and two women. They lost their Dutch passports in 2017 and 2018. Three of them were convicted in absentia for joining a terrorist group while three others simply lost their nationality based on official intelligence reports from the Dutch intelligence service, the AIVD.

At least seven people had travelled to Syria and subsequently lost their passports, before being reinstated as Dutch citizens. This reinstatement is explained by the fact that the organizations to which they had belonged were not on the official list of terrorist organizations when their passports were revoked, the NOS channel reported.

The hypocritical double standards of the political left were impressively documented on May Day at one of their marches in Vienna. The Communist Party district group of the Brigittenau district in Vienna drove on the streets in a very expensive luxury Mercedes and attached anti-fascist and anti-capitalist slogans to the car trailer. As some passers-by observed and also documented, a Mercedes Benz G350 SUV was moving a car trailer with communist banners across the Ring road. The banners displayed slogans such as “Fascism is not an opinion, it is a crime”.However, the choice of the noble vehicle for the workers’ march on May Day does not quite fit into the picture. Because the Mercedes SUV in question – quite apart from its harmfulness to the climate – costs 140,000 euros upwards according to the list price. The Communist Party of Austria, however, is known for having a large (party) fortune, as could be seen impressively here.

According to a report in the newspaper WELT AM SONNTAG, the Israeli government is concerned about the EU Commission’s decision to certify the association Islamic Relief Germany (IRD) as a “humanitarian partner for the period from 2021 to 2027”.

Islamic Relief Worldwide (IRW) has been classified as a terrorist organisation in Israel, including its main branches, because it is part of Hamas’ financing apparatus, a spokeswoman for the Israeli Foreign Ministry told WELT AM SONNTAG. “The IRW transferred millions of dollars to Hamas, an EU-recognised terrorist organisation directly responsible for the murder of Israelis, and helped Hamas establish its infrastructure and build its power,” the spokeswoman said.

According to the 2019 annual report, Islamic Relief Germany paid almost twelve million euros to the parent organisation at the time. The German government accuses IRD of having “significant personal connections to the Muslim Brotherhood or organisations close to it”. The United Arab Emirates classified Islamic Relief Worldwide as part of the Muslim Brotherhood in 2014.

A spokesperson for the Muslim Relief and Works Agency said that it had no links to Hamas. IRW has taken legal action in Israel against this false and reputationally damaging claim. “This is an unjustified attack on vital humanitarian aid,” the spokesperson continued. “We reject all forms of radicalism, extremism and violence because our organisation is based in Islam and charity to our fellow human beings in need,” said IRD Executive Director Tarek Abdelalem.

The budget of the European Commission’s current partnership with Islamic Relief Germany is pending. In 2019, 712,000 euros had been paid by the EU Commission to Islamic Relief Germany for projects in the field of earthquake and flood disaster relief.

Sir Isaac Newton’s historical legacy amounts to “colonial-era activity” and must be scrapped to “decolonise” the engineering curriculum at Sheffield University in the UK.

Newton, who lived until 1727, laid the foundations of modern science with his theory of gravity as well as theories on light, time, colour and calculus. Newton is the latest historical figure to succumb to a drive to “decolonise” campuses, which has intensified in the wake of Black Lives Matter riots.

In his work Principia, Newton formulated the laws of motion and universal gravitation. He used his mathematical description of gravity to derive Kepler’s laws of planetary motion, account for tides, the trajectories of comets, the precession of the equinoxes and other phenomena, eradicating all doubt about the Solar System’s heliocentricity. In fact, his equation for universal gravitation, written in 1666 when he was 23, ended more than a thousand years of Aristotelian thinking.

But Newton’s three laws of motion, the core of modern physics, must now give way to the “global origins and historical context” of his theories. The engineering faculty plans to “challenge long-standing conscious and unconscious biases” among students to tackle “Eurocentric” and “white saviour” approaches to science and maths, and promote “inclusive design”.

A leaked copy of the “draft inclusive curriculum development” obtained the the London weekly, Sunday Telegraph stated that “much important engineering content and curriculum resources is based on maths developed in the 18/19th century” while pioneering scientists including Paul Dirac, Pierre-Simon Laplace, Newton, and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz “could be considered as benefiting from colonial era activity”.

It is not clear how Newton benefited from colonialism. He held shares in the South Sea Company that traded in slaves but he lost £20 000 – a fortune at the time – after the company ran into financial difficulties.

His biographer James Gleick, commented on the drive to eradicate his contribution: “Whether Newton’s foolish investment in South Sea shares in 1720 means that he participated in the slave trade is arguable. I would say that all England benefited from colonialism.”

The “decolonisation” drive is not new. Last month, an Oxford professor denounced musical notation as “colonialist” in order to challenge the “complicity in white supremacy” of composers such as Mozart and Beethoven.

According to a consultant who runs diversity workshops at multiple top universities in Britain, the decolonisation drive is shifting from humanities courses to sciences.  He told The Telegraph that the sector was being “captured” by “critical race theory in all but name”.

The diversity officer admitted that these measures aimed at “decolonising” science were not about equality, diversity and inclusion. “This is something different altogether. It is blatantly teaching people to be activists.” Prof Frank Furedi, a sociologist at Kent University, agreed. “It’s a way of socialising students into feeling that something is wrong with their own background, the life of their ancestors and inducing guilt.”

A Sheffield spokesman said: “Decolonising the curriculum is an ongoing process which prompts us to incorporate historically marginalised or suppressed knowledge into all disciplines … so all our students have the opportunity to see themselves reflected in what they are being taught.”

But introducing “wokeism” to science, evokes the famous quote by Newton: “I can calculate the motion of heavenly bodies, but not the madness of people.”
