Excerpt:
At the Great Revelations Academy, the convergence of troubling Islamic teachings and Sharia adherence unveils a disturbing reality of Islamic radical grooming within U.S. borders, underscored by the troubling fact that the U.S. government has granted tax-exempt status to an institution facilitating such jihadist indoctrination.
In a Sharia-adherent event that has attracted considerable attention, the Islamic Al-Mustapha Girl Scouts recently held their annual Takleef Celebration at Great Revelations Academy, a private Islamic school in Dearborn, Michigan. This controversial school has connections to staunch supporters of Hezbollah and the Iranian regime. The ceremony, deeply rooted in Shiite Islamic tradition, marks the coming of age for young Muslim girls, imposing upon them the rigorous observance of Sharia law, including the controversial practice of wearing the hijab. The troubling implications of such Islamic ceremonies reinforce a doctrine of female subjugation and raise profound concerns about the integration of Muslim communities into Western societies.
Ceremony Overview
The Takleef Celebration Event is a pivotal moment in the lives of young Shiite Muslim girls. It signifies their obligation to start observing Islamic practices, such as fasting, praying, and dressing modestly (often, girls are given their first chador, a full-length body covering) from as young as nine years old.
The event underscores the adherence to Sharia law, even in Western settings, compelling these young girls to take on responsibilities that emphasize their role in preventing male temptation through their attire. This practice not only sexualizes children at a tender age but also places an undue burden on them, aligning with a broader Islamic perspective that sees women primarily as guardians of virtue through modesty.
In Western nations, women who adopt Sharia practices are a threat, as their commitment lies in the propagation of Islamic law. This is particularly poignant in Dearborn, known as the Arab capital of North America, where Lebanese, Syrian, Palestinian, Iraqi, and Yemeni communities are concentrated. This city claims the highest American Muslim population per capita, primarily of the Shiite Muslim denomination, and it’s also home to the nation’s largest mosque. Arabic signs adorn the facades of restaurants and businesses. Even within Dearborn’s public schools, all meat served is Halal—a strategic means employed by Muslim minorities to gradually introduce elements of Sharia into the broader non-Muslim majority of the West.
.....Great Revelations Academy’s Radical Islamic Ties
Investigations into the Great Revelations Academy reveal a concerning foundation rooted in Islamic extremism. Founded in 2015 by fervent supporters of Grand Ayatollah Mohammad Hussein Fadlallah, a key figure in the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran and considered the spiritual leader of Hezbollah, the academy’s ideological underpinnings raise alarming questions about the education and values being imparted to young Muslims in America.
The U.S. considered Fadlallah responsible for the bombing of the multinational forces in Beirut in October 1983, in which 241 U.S. Marines and 56 French paratroopers were killed in two explosions. He was designated a terrorist by the U.S. Treasury Department.
Fadlallah hated with a vengeance the United States government and Israel. He regularly praised the terror attacks that killed Israeli citizens. He was known as an enthusiastic supporter of suicide bombings against Israel. Fadlallah wished that the state of Israel would cease to exist.
Fadlallah’s support for terrorist actions and organizations underscores the troubling nature of the academy’s association with his teachings. Furthermore, Clarion Project reports that statements from the academy’s founders, such as Fouad Bayoun, explicitly express their dedication to spreading Fadlallah’s message in the United States.......
City Of Great Falls To Embrace ESG?

Excerpt:
It seems the City of Great Falls is poised to embrace ESG, or actually, they may have already started. This tidbit came to light at the at the March 5 city commission meeting when City Manager Greg Doyon brought up ESG as a factor of the city’s creditworthiness score. The mere mention of ESG at the commission meeting triggered alarm bells.
In case you don’t know what ESG means, it stands for Environmental, Social and Governance and is one of the tools the far left uses to push their political agenda. ESG has made insidious inroads into companies and organizations, but the fact that it has also managed to insert itself into local government is even more alarming.
Reminiscent in spirit of Communist China’s social credit score but likely encompassing a wider range of criteria, financial entities such as credit scoring corporations are increasingly using ESG to put pressure on businesses to implement woke policies in order to reap higher ESG scores and gain “acceptability.”
A poor ESG score can impact a business’s creditworthiness and thereby affect their ability to get loans. When it comes to local government, according to Doyon a lower ESG score could affect the city’s creditworthiness for bonding purposes.
“When we do our bond review process with Moody’s, they’re starting to do a risk profile that’s called ESG and it’s not something that’s talked about by local government very much but it’s Environmental, Social and Governance factors.
So we had an interesting conversation when we were rated last time on these elements and I can tell you that I think we need help with that a little bit. I think that it’s arguable how much of an impact that would have on a potential investor if the city would go out and sell bonds for a particular project but it is a factor.”
Moody’s, arguably the most recognized credit rating corporation in the United States, was the company mentioned by Doyon as utilizing ESG scores in rating municipalities’ creditworthiness. From a look at their website, it appears they’ve gone off the woke deep-end.
On their website, you will find statements such as, Moody’s intends to reach net-zero emissions by 2040, consistent with its commitment to the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) Business Ambition for 1.5°C; Moody’s is reporting in accordance with the World Economic Forum’s Measuring Stakeholder Capitalism expanded metrics and disclosures; and Moody’s is committed to a diverse, equitable and inclusive culture where we celebrate the differences that make us stronger.
One concern is the impact of ESG on retirement savings plans when ESG goals take precedence over maximizing profits. In August 2022, Nineteen State Attorneys General wrote a letter to BlackRock, chief player in the financial world including state pension funds, and a supporter of ESG policies. Montana’s Attorney General Austin Knudsen was one of the signatories.
The letter accuses BlackRock of acting with “mixed motives” and cited a fiduciary’s duty of loyalty to “‘discharge [their] duties solely in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries . . . for the exclusive purposes of . . . providing benefits to participants and their beneficiaries; and . . . defraying reasonable expenses of administering the system’ rather than pursuing an ESG agenda.” (https://www.azag.gov/sites/default/files/2022-08/BlackRock%20Letter.pdf)
There has been state push back against ESG. The 2003 Montana Legislature passed, and the governor signed, HB 228, which prohibits the consideration of non-pecuniary factors such as ESG, for public investments such as state retirement funds. But it doesn’t appear to protect local governments from bond rating companies’ use of ESG criteria. So municipal and county governments will still face pressure to conform or potentially have their bonds rated less desirable to investors.
CDC Expands Program To Ask Certain Travelers For Nasal Swabs At American Airports

Excerpt:
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has expanded a program that tests international travelers for COVID-19 and other illnesses.
The public health agency’s program requests arriving international travelers to volunteer for a nasal swab and answer questions about their travel.
On Tuesday, the CDC announced the program would include two new airports – Miami and Chicago’s O’Hare.
Voluntary nose-swabbing began Tuesday at Miami International Airport as part of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s traveler-based genomic surveillance program. Seven other major airports have the program, including in New York, Boston and Los Angeles. Nose-swabbing is also coming to Chicago O’Hare International Airport.
Sticking a swab up your nose at MIA will be voluntary, anonymous and free, according to the CDC. People who participate will also answer a short survey that includes demographic and travel-related questions, including age, information on travel destinations, and the reason for traveling.
You must be at least 18 for the swabbing and survey. And yes, there is a prize.
Travelers will see signs, a table and staff promoting the testing as they are exiting Customs in Terminal D. The CDC says the swab and survey will take about two to five minutes to complete. At the moment, the CDC will be testing MIA travelers for COVID, but will eventually expand the testing to include flu and RSV.
“Miami and Chicago enable us to collect samples coming from areas of the world where global surveillance is not as strong as it used to be,” said the CDC’s Allison Taylor Walker, according to the Associated Press.
“What we really need is a good view of what’s happening in the world so we’re prepared for the next thing,” she added.
CDC officials said the nasal swabs are to learn more about “respiratory infections” from Asia, Africa, and South America.
.....Health officials also have been sampling wastewater that comes off international flights at a few airports. That testing is for COVID-19, but CDC officials are evaluating the possibility of monitoring wastewater for other things, Walker said.
The CDC program has a current budget of about $37 million. The agency pays two companies, Ginkgo Bioworks and XWell, to do sample collection and testing. The companies are working with CDC to grow the program to check for more than 30 different disease-causing germs.

As if nasal swabbing is accurate. Another reason not to fly. More bs from the CDC which needs to be tried for crimes against humanity and disbanded in totality.
