Fired Ukrainian Deputy Minister Puts on Bikini & Announces Own Party to Fight ‘Male Political Prostitutes’ in Power

Spectacular Irony in Ukraine Politics

Ukraine's former deputy infrastructure minister, Aleksandra Klitina, has bounced back from her scandalous firing last year, saying she is going to return to politics to fight corrupt men, but her looks overshadowed her message.

The 37-year-old former official announced the creation of her own party, called ‘Ukraine against corruption’ in a video posted on YouTube.

In the clip, which was filmed outdoors, Klitina appeared sporting what looks like a bikini or a rather revealing dress and delivered a strong-worded address, bashing the men now ruling Ukraine.

“I decided to fight for truth myself because those pants-wearing idiots are hopeless,” she proclaimed, promising that her party will “finally deal with those male political prostitutes.”

They think that if they have something in their pants, it's enough for them to be successful and be eligible to abuse women. But women are a hundred times smarter and a hundred times more honest than you.

But online commenters were more interested in her looks than political message, confessing that they couldn't understand a word she was saying due to being fully consumed by the image on screen.

The woman also addressed her firing from the post of deputy infrastructure minister in November last year, insisting that her boss Vladislav Krikliy moved against her only because she was preventing thievery in the ministry.

Her sacking was preceded by two online leaks, which made headlines in the Ukrainian media. First, the MPs for the ruling party of President Volodymyr Zelensky were taped saying that Klitina got to her high position through the bedroom. Then she became the victim of a prankster who she told that her boss was corrupt and that she would make a much better infrastructure minister than him.

The new party apparently doesn't have too many members at the moment. At least, there was nobody to film and edit her address as the clip starts with the woman switching on the camera on her phone and ends with it being switched off.

Wide-spread corruption has been a major stumbling block in Ukraine's development in recent decades. Every president, including Zelensky, vowed to eradicate it, but so far haven't achieved any significant results.

Of course not. The oligarchs control Ukraine and no-one can control them.

This Week's Terrorist Attacks and Stories - 20:25 > Reading, Stamford Hill, Karachi

Libyan-born Khairi Saadallah has been charged with three counts of murder, following a mass stabbing in the town of Reading last week. The attack, initially investigated by UK’s counter-terrorism police, targeted gay men.

The 25-year-old has been charged with three counts of murder and three counts of attempted murder, the Crown Prosecution Service said on Saturday. The June 20 knife attack in a Reading park left three people dead and at least three others injured.

Although Saadallah had been investigated by British counter-terrorism police, there was no reference to terrorism in the charges listed.

The stabbing took place at Forbury Gardens in Reading last Saturday. Three of the victims died at the scene, while the other three were taken to hospital and have all since been released.

The authorities are yet to disclose the suspect’s motive. However, given that all three of those who died are gay, and the attack coincided with Pride Month, which is being marked by many LGBT events across the UK, a number of media outlets have pointed the finger at homophobia. Saadallah openly expressed his disgust with homosexuals, the Sun newspaper reported, citing a gay acquaintance of the suspect. “In my country, disgusting people like you would be beheaded,” he allegedly told the man.

So, how is it this is not terrorism? I don't understand!

Saadallah came to the UK as an illegal immigrant in 2012, fleeing the chaos of the Libyan War that was prompted by the NATO-backed toppling of Muammar Gaddafi. In 2018, he was granted asylum. The British media claims that he received it despite being on MI5’s suspected-jihadist list for many years.

The charges are being levied on Saadallah a day after another major stabbing incident occurred, this time in central Glasgow. On Friday, a man injured six people before being shot dead by the police. Media reports say the suspect was a disgruntled Sudanese asylum seeker, who had complained about poor Covid-19 sheltering conditions and who allegedly had a history of mental-health issues. Police said the attack was not being treated as a terror-related incident.

There seems to be a concerted effort to deny terrorism even when it seems obvious. Europe keeps covering up criminal events at the hands of migrants, especially those who are mentally deranged. But according to Dr. Wafa Sultan, a Lebanese psychiatrist, all devout Muslims are deranged. (See: Great Quotes - Sidebar  https://northwoodssaveachild.blogspot.com/).

Militants throw grenades, open fire at

Pakistan Stock Exchange in Karachi 

A group of militants armed with guns and grenades stormed the Pakistan Stock Exchange in Karachi. Attackers and several security personnel were killed in the battle, local media reported, citing police.

The attack occurred at around 10am local time. Four gunmen dressed as off-duty police officers drove to a parking lot in front of the stock exchange building in a single vehicle and threw a grenade at the main entrance gate, police said. The terrorists then opened fire indiscriminately, forcing people to flee in panic.

Around 150 employees were at the building during the assault, the stock exchange director told the media. They locked themselves inside their offices.

Police and security personnel were quickly dispatched to the scene, and a fierce firefight ensued in which all of the terrorists were shot dead. Police seized AK-47 rifles, hand grenades, and other explosives.

Two security guards and a police officer were killed in the attack, officials said. Seven people were injured.

The insurgent group Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) has claimed responsibility for the raid. Founded in 2000, BLA seeks to establish an independent state in Balochistan, Pakistan’s southwestern province.

'Arabs, Not Jews, Founded and Built Jerusalem' - Well, Actually...

Paper by Jordan's Royal Aal al-Bayt Institute for Islamic Thought claims

Old Testament proves "Jerusalem was always an Arab city." 

Palestinian official: Paper debunks the exclusive Israeli narrative used to negate Palestinians' rights in Jerusalem.

In the past, PA President Abbas also claimed Jesus was Palestinian.

A Jordanian institute presented a new spin on regional history over the weekend, claiming that it was the Arabs – not the Jews – who founded Jerusalem in biblical times.

According to Saudi daily Arab News, a position paper by the Royal Aal al-Bayt Institute for Islamic Thought, an Amman-based think tank, asserted that Arabs were the first inhabitants of Jerusalem and have lived there for at least 5,000 years.

Jerusalem is home to the Al-Aqsa Mosque, Islam's third holiest site after Mecca and Medina in Saudi Arabia.

According to the report, the institute is an Islamic NGO headed by Prince Ghazi bin Muhammad, who has been serving as a special adviser to Jordan's King Abdullah since 2000.

The institute states in the paper that it "seeks to correct the misperception that Arabs are newcomers to Jerusalem" using unpublished documents, archaeological discoveries, and the Biblical record to assert its claims.

Among its many references, the paper sites the Amarna Correspondence, a series of diplomatic letters between Canaanite kings and Egyptian overlords dating back to the 14th century BCE, which mention Jerusalem.

"The Arabs founded and built it [Jerusalem] in the first place – and have been there ever since," the paper states, noting that Islam has been dominant in Jerusalem for 1,210 out of the last 1,388 years.

Moreover, the 108-page paper argues that the Old Testament itself "shows that the Arabs, Hamites, Canaanites, and Jebusites were the original inhabitants of the land of Palestine, including the area of Jerusalem," thus allegedly proving that "Jerusalem was always an Arab city."

"The Palestinian Arabs of today are largely the direct descendants of the indigenous Canaanite Arabs who were there over 5,000 years ago. Modern-day Arab Muslim and Christian Palestinian families are the oldest inhabitants of the land," the paper argued

Palestinian National Council member and former Bethlehem Mayor Vera Baboun told Arab News that the Jordanian institute's position paper "articulates the diverse historical realities away from the exclusive narrative that Israel is adopting to deny the cultural, human, historical and religious rights of the Arab Palestinians whether we're Christians or Muslims.

"It puts the readers face to face with their own misconceptions and lack of knowledge, thus debunking the exclusive Israeli political or Biblical narrative which is used to negate the right and the existence of the Palestinian rights in Jerusalem or the Palestinian land at large," she said.

This, however, would not be the first time the Palestinians have tried to rewrite history.

In a 2013 Christmas message, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas claimed that Jesus Christ was a "Palestinian messenger of hope."

The move was immediately labeled a Palestinian attempt to brace the link between the Palestinian and Christian narratives in global public opinion and was met with scathing criticism, as few scholars dispute that Jesus was raised as a Jew.

In my study of Genesis, it became obvious that Jerusalem was built by Canaanites while the Israelites were in Egypt. Jerusalem was not a city worth mentioning when Jacob journeyed from Bethel to Bethlehem, though he would have passed right through it. Also, though Rachel was buried very close to where it would be, again it was not mentioned. Extra-Biblical literature from Egypt mentions Jerusalem about 100 years before the Israelites returned to the Promised Land. So, it was certainly built while the Jews were in Egypt. 

But if you are going to use the Bible to prove that Arabs built the original Jerusalem, then you should probably not ignore the fact that God gave that land to Abraham and his descendants. It was God who enabled Joshua to conquer the land. Those Arabs still in the land were slaves for at least 1500 years, so to say that it was always an Arab city is absurd and wishful thinking.

Furthermore, if building and being the first occupiers of a city mean entitlement thousands of years later, then we Christians have a very good claim on Constantinople. Would you agree President Erdogan?

The Two Michaels - Trudeau's Hypocritical Stand Comes From the SNC-Lavalin Disgrace

Trudeau's rigid stand against China is not what it appears, not at all

Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor have been languishing in a Chinese prison for a year and a half. Yesterday, Prime Minister Trudeau told them they are likely to be there for several more years, if not the rest of their lives.

The two Michaels have done nothing to deserve their incarceration; they are pawns in a political nightmare orchestrated by the USA, Canada, and China. The nightmare began when the USA requested Canada arrest Meng Wanzhou, CFO of Huawei, and the daughter of its founder. The USA has accused Meng of violating its sanctions against Iran.

Whether that is the real reason for wanting Meng is a good question. The world is moving frantically toward installing 5G systems that are slightly terrifying in their reach. The value of this system probably counts in the trillions of dollars. Having watched the way America does business these days, one has to wonder if the arrest of Meng is more about 5G than about Iran. 

At any rate, America’s request for the arrest of Meng, should probably have been rejected immediately by Canada since it had to do with American sanctions. Or does Canada have sanctions against Iran? Do American sanctions effectively mean that Canada has sanctions.  I was never so proud of a Canadian Prime Minister as I was of Jean Cretien when he told George Bush that we would not be part of Desert Storm. Desert Storm was launched on fake intel and was a completely unjustified war. 

Trudeau should have told President Trump that Canada would not assist him in using sanctions to bully other countries. I believe Chretien would have. It’s unfortunate there has never been any discussion in the Trudeau-friendly Canadian media regarding this. Trudeau owns most of the media in this country by promising them $600m if they write friendly stuff about him.

Who was the highest-level official to approve the arrest of Meng? Did it go to the AG or the PM?

Yesterday, Trudeau said he would not give in to Chinese coercion. But, it appears he gave in to American coercion in the arrest and detention of Meng. This is good policy if you are talking about a terrorist group like ISIS or the Islamic Abu Sayyaf in the Philippines. These are gangs that kidnap people for money. Giving in to them is certainly going to endanger Canadians. Though, I’m fairly certain some ransom was paid to  Al-Qaeda Organization in the Islamic Maghreb, for the return of Canadian Robert Fowler, UN envoy to Niger.

However, China is one of the largest countries in the world, not a band of Muslim radicals. They feel totally justified in their actions for two reasons – the don’t believe Meng’s arrest was justified in the first place, and, in the second, they believe political interference in the judicial system is normal. It is in China, and they believe it is in Canada as well. And why wouldn’t they?

Canada’s extradition laws allow the Minister of Justice to intervene in the process of extradition at any time, and there is history of him doing so, though it is sparce. There is also history of the Prime Minister’s Office interfering with the judicial process, as per the SNC Lavalin affair. This was blatant interference with the Attorney General who refused to give in to the PM and got fired. 

What did she refuse to give in to? To the use of an obscure law slipped into the back pages of a huge omnibus bill that was specifically designed to give SNC Lavalin the option of buying their way out of prosecution for their extraordinary corruption. SNC Lavalin headquarters lie next to Trudeau’s riding in Montreal, and many of their top executives live in his riding. Political interference? – a complete end-around the law! New laws written to ease the burden of justice, should never be applicable to cases already before the courts; the temptation toward corruption is just too great.

So, now, why is Trudeau being so rigid with the two Michaels? It is fall-out from the SNC Lavalin affair! It gives him the opportunity to stand in front of his cottage (remember when we had a Parliament?), and pronounce every day that Canada is a nation of laws and the government will not interfere with the judicial process. As unbelievably hypocritical as that is, he seems to think that if he says it every day that eventually Canadians will believe he actually means it. This would require forgetting about one of the most disgraceful moments in Canadian politics.

The Night of Shame in Stuttgart
Rioters shout "Allahu Akbar"

Source: BILD

Stuttgart - A trail of devastation runs through downtown Stuttgart. 500 rioters have turned the city into a battlefield - out of sheer lust for violence!

THE NIGHT OF SHAME!

► Saturday, 11.30 p.m. The meadows on Eckernsee near the city center are full of people celebrating when a police patrol controls "a 17-year-old German with a white skin," said police vice president Thomas Berger (48): It's about drugs.

300 young people immediately gather and throw bottles and paving stones at the police. While the officials call for reinforcements, the mob moves in small groups towards the city center.

► Sunday, midnight. The violence explodes. "Windows were demolished, the pavement torn open, the stones thrown at police officers," said local resident Matthias Grohe. "It was a war-like situation."

Rioters, masked with balaclavas and scarves, break shop windows, carry away what they can carry. Alarm systems howl, glass splinters.

"People were looking for shelter with us," says Alexander Günther (22), who waits in the café "le theater". "They were scared."

"The waiters quickly cleared everything," says Daniel Schmidt (43) from the "Terrazza" bistro. The landlord barricades himself, turns off the lights: "Our tables and chairs were thrown around and ended up in police cars."

Several police officers were injured during street battles in downtown Stuttgart during the night of Sunday.

Stuttgart: Brutal attack on the police - video shows kung fu kick

Video link not available

A police officer fixes a man on the floor. Suddenly a rioter comes and kicks the policeman from behind - with full force.

► 1.15 a.m. A man in a green vest throws in the rear window of a police car and pulls out equipment. The crowd cheers and applauds. When an officer wrestles a riot to the ground, a hooded man comes running and kicks the policeman off the suspect with full force.

It is an incredible dimension of violence. Blind rage of destruction, paired with power tests with the police and the possibility to disappear undetected in the crowd and the dark.

Who are the rioters?

"It looks like young people with a migration background were among the leaders in the riots," says Hans-Jürgen Kirstein (54), head of the GdP.

Police deputy Thomas Berger said yesterday: Of the 24 detainees, 12 are Germans, three are from a migrant background. The other half comes from. a. from Bosnia, Portugal, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan. They are “from the party scene”, which has been boasting of aggressive behavior against the police on social media for weeks.

► 4.30 a.m. Only now the 280 police officers have the situation under control.

19 officers are injured in a night that will make history as the "disgrace of Stuttgart".

Sky News Headline Skews Facts About

Car Ramming in Israel

BY GIDON BEN-ZVI  JUNE 25, 2020
Honest reporting

On Wednesday, a Palestinian Arab driver drove into soldiers at an Israeli checkpoint tower near Jerusalem. In response, Israeli Border Police on the scene opened fire and killed the driver.

Palestinian officials charged Israel with cold-blooded murder. According to them, the suspect, a nephew of senior Palestinian official Saeb Erekat, was simply rushing to pick up his sister and mother ahead of a family wedding later Tuesday evening.

However, security footage released by the Border Police, showing the vehicle turning sharply and speeding up abruptly when close to the soldiers, leaves little doubt as to the nature of the incident.

This is the headline from Sky News:

From the headline, you wouldn’t have known that Israeli soldiers were the target of a terrorist attack. Instead, Sky News buries that lead. Readers are told only that the border guards opened fire on and killed a relative of a top PLO official, with no justification mentioned.

In the much less noticeable sub-headline,  lip service is paid to the Border Police’s version of events. “Police say” the suspect drove at officers.  This is followed up with the family’s take on the events. Presented this way, both versions are equally likely. Also, note that while words like ‘relative’, ‘family’, and ‘accident’ humanize the deceased, words such as ‘car ramming’, ‘attack’, and ‘terrorist’ are nowhere to be seen.

This is much more than a mere matter of semantics. People tend to scan headlines first and only read the articles that catch their eye. But if all that people know about this incident comes from this headline what conclusions will they draw?

Video is available at Times of Israel

The video evidence is irrefutable: this was a clear-cut attack.  Yet Sky News’s headline and sub-headline suggest something very different: a young man rushing to a wedding getting caught in the cross hairs of trigger-happy Israeli soldiers. And if the video footage isn’t sufficient, here’s an eyewitness account of a Border Police officer who was injured during the attack:

“I signaled to him to halt, the car started to slow down, and I moved in his direction… He saw that I took a step, he looked me in the eye, turned the steering wheel and rammed into me, and I flew to the other side of the median.”

This isn’t just a bad headline, it’s a serious lapse of journalistic standards.

Sky News readers deserve much better than this.

Glasgow Park Inn stabbing updates: Incident not being treated as terrorism as six critically injured

A stabbing in Glasgow city centre has left six people critically injured,

including a police officer. 

By Craig Williams  Gary Armstrong
Glasgow Live

Six people are critically injured in hospital following a major stabbing incident at a Glasgow city centre hotel.

Emergency services earlier raced to the Park Inn Hotel on West George Street as the council confirmed streets had been shut down in response to a 'serious police incident'.

Two teenagers are among those in hospital, all men aged 17, 18, 20, 38 and 53.

A 42-year-old police officer was also injured and is in ‘critical but stable condition’.

The suspect was shot dead by an armed officer, Police Scotland has confirmed.

Assistant Chief Constable Steve Johnson said: "Police responded to a report of an incident at the Park Inn Hotel in West George Street, Glasgow, at 12.50pm today.

"Officers were on the scene within two minutes, and armed officers shortly afterwards, and the incident was quickly contained.

"A man was shot by armed police and has died. Six other men are in hospital for treatment, including a 42-year-old police officer, who is in a critical but stable condition. The officer's family is aware.

“The other men in hospital are aged 17, 18, 20, 38 and 53. Liaison officers have been appointed.

"Our thoughts are with the families of those who were injured, including our officer.

"The incident is not being treated as a terrorism and our investigation is continuing into the circumstances. There is no wider risk to the public, however the street remains closed and people should avoid the area.

"As would be the case in any police discharge of firearms involving a fatality, the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service has instructed the Police Investigations and Review Commissioner to investigate."

Unfortunately, police seem to have chosen to not disclose the perpetrator's name. The Park Inn was being used to house migrants. Police have not released whether the perpetrator was a migrant, or how many of his victims might have been migrants. If this is not a terrorist incident, it is curious as to why the police are not being very candid with information.

More Than 100 Toxic Chemicals Found in Cannabis Smoke: U of A study

EDMONTON -- A study from the University of Alberta found 110 toxic chemicals in cannabis smoke, drawing attention to potential health risks.

The group of engineering researchers, led by U of A post-doctoral fellow Robert Nishida, compared smoke samples from a marijuana joint with samples from a tobacco cigarette.

"When it comes to how that effects your lungs, how that effects your health, it's a question of dose in the right spots of your lungs,” Nishida told CTV News, “for example where it's going to have these effects and those sorts of health-related questions."

Tobacco was chosen as a benchmark because it has been studied extensively.  

The researchers found that the physical and chemical properties of the two were quite similar. They have 69 toxic compounds in common, although tobacco had more in total, 173.

The particles in the cannabis smoke were found to be larger, impacting where they get deposited in a smoker's respiratory system.

“Whether it's in the throat or the upper airways, or if it gets transported all the way down into the alveoli, that depends on the size of the particles and their other physical characteristics,” Nishida said.

The researchers also concluded that more research needs to be done on the effects and the potential health risks of cannabis use.

Canada legalized cannabis in October 2018. Before legalization, a University of Calgary study found that 8.9 per cent of Albertans said they had used cannabis, less than the national average.

Cannabis retailers saw a spike in sales at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in Alberta.
