Those responsible claim as their own the land where the historic cemetery stands. The authorities have not yet intervened. However, Christians in Banawali received support from Muslims fellow villagers.Sialkot (AsiaNews) – Some Muslims destroyed Christian graves with tractors Sialkot, a district in north-western Punjab. “They demolished my father’s grave,” said Baba Gulzar Masih. His father, Rakha Masih, “told me before he died that he wanted to be buried close to his parents.” The cemetery in the village of Banawali is older than Pakistan itself, locals note. Christian residents, backed by Muslim neighbours, took their case to the authorities, but their...

SÃO PAULO – A São Paulo state legislator sparked outrage among Catholics in Brazil after a speech in which he insulted an archbishop, the Brazilian episcopate as a whole and even Pope Francis. State legislator Frederico Braun D’Ávila, a supporter of President Jair Bolsonaro in the São Paulo State legislature, attacked Archbishop Orlando Brandes of Aparecida during a legislative session on Oct. 14. Two days earlier, on the feast of Our Lady of Aparecida, Brandes had criticized Bolsonaro’s pro-gun stance and the dissemination of fake news in the country. The archbishop’s remarks came just a few hours before the president...

Agroup of 10 Chinese and Russian naval vessels is conducting a joint patrol along a route that increasingly suggests it might take them all the way around Japan's Home Islands. Even if none of these ships ultimately sail a full loop around the Japanese archipelago, this operation is still a significant display of the ability of these two navies to work together. This all follows a number of major maritime exercises in the Pacific involving the U.S. Navy and its allies and partners — including Japan — this year, as well as multiple instances in which Chinese and Russian naval...

According to experts, the Australian study which claimed that mandatory masks stopped the second wave of coronavirus is total crap.A “world-first” Australian study which Victoria’s government has held up as proof its mandatory face mask policy worked is riddled with basic errors and should never have been published in a major journal, medical researchers and experts say.Victoria first made face masks mandatory outside the home in Melbourne during its second coronavirus wave in July 2020, but the Department of Health has been unable to provide any scientific research or studies upon which the decision was made.Instead, the Department of Health...

Is the 'Don't tread on me' spirit that built this country is long gone?. On Sept. 9, resident Biden declared, “the Department of Labor is developing an emergency rule to require all employers with 100 or more employees, that together employ over 80 million workers, to ensure their workforces are fully vaccinated or show a negative test at least once a week.” So, Mr. Biden believes the federal government, under the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), has the purview to mandate COVID-19 vaccinations. Interestingly, a few months ago, Mr. Biden believed the federal government did not have the authority...

Dr. Scott Gottlieb practised internal medicine, and is a venture capitalist with “longstanding ties to the pharmaceutical and biotech industries.” He worked at the FDA for three years under George W. Bush, and was FDA commissioner for less than two years under Donald Trump.Gottlieb resigned from his position as FDA commissioner in April 2019, and two months later joined Pfizer’s board of directors in a move Senator Elizabeth Warren said “smacks of corruption.”Despite having no qualifications to do so, Gottlieb has repeatedly offered televised predictions on potential COVID outbreaks, peaks, and plateaus in the U.S. – predictions which were often...

Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro announced on his show Friday that the company has signed former ESPN sports reporter Allison Williams to lead a special sports series that will be available exclusively for Daily Wire members. As The Daily Wire previously reported, Williams left her post as a college basketball and football reporter for ESPN last Friday after being sidelined in September for refusing to abide by the network’s COVID-19 vaccination mandate. “The Daily Wire is one of America’s fastest-growing media companies and I am thrilled and honored to join them. I am proud to be a part of...

NO RELIGIOUS EXEMPTIONS? (The Pfizer/Abortion Connection)We've dropped a few clips from the recent Vatican conference on health and vaccines into one of the recent Project Veritas videos on the connection between the Pfizer vaccine and abortion.Why? Because Pope Francis had the CEO of Pfizer speak at that Vatican conference, along with Tony Fauci and Chelsea Clinton. Is Francis ignorant of the Pfizer/Abortion connection? Is he malicious? Why would he not be calling for a religious exemption for the world's 2 billion Catholics? Just how pro-life is this guy?We're in YouTube Jail for the next two weeks. Please help us spread...

Like many who collect and assimilate an ecclectic mix of music for listening throughout the day, I long ago chose to include "Polk Salad Annie" by Tony Joe White in my ever-shuffled audio from Brian Eno to Jerry Mathers, with classical, jazz, and rock in between. A month or two ago it crossed my mind to see if Tony Joe White had any live performances worth checking out. This evening there was time and opportunity, and what an eye opener it has been! Below I will post a couple links to his live performance of 1980 in Austin, TX. For...

Anyone who may still be skeptical about the assertion that today’s college students are taught to hate America should take three minutes to watch this video from filmmaker Ami Horowitz, in which he asks students at the University of California, Berkeley to pledge money to the Taliban so that the jihad terror group can strike inside the United States and kill Americans. “We’re trying to raise money for the Taliban,” Horowitz tells student passersby, and as if that wasn’t hard enough in itself to believe, he piles on more absurdities.... Those who stand there and take all that seriously get...

The U.S. government recorded more than 1.7 million interdictions of migrants along the southern border during the past 12 months, the highest figure of any fiscal year in history, according to Department of Homeland Security data released Friday. A massive increase in migration to the U.S.-Mexico border that peaked during the hot summer months led to a record-setting number of migrant apprehensions in fiscal year 2021, which ended in September. Roughly 61% of the migrants encountered during the past 12 months were quickly expelled to Mexico or their homeland under a pandemic-era emergency policy known as Title 42, which U.S....

Dr. Anthony Fauci is a damned liar. Don’t take my word for it. Take the word of the National Institutes of Health, which revealed this week the U.S. nongovernmental group EcoHealth Alliance violated its reporting rules while conducting bat coronavirus research in collaboration with the Wuhan Institute of Virology. In short, a federally funded nonprofit organization conducted gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. This is something that federal health officials, most notably National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Director Anthony Fauci, assured everyone was a preposterous falsehood. Except it wasn't. The NIAID funneled some $600,000 to the...

The latest report from the UK Health Security Agency shows that the Chief Medical Officer (CMO) for England’s decision to recommend all children over the age of 12 should be vaccinated against Covid-19 was a huge mistake because the data shows children are 16 times more likely to die with Covid-19 if they have been vaccinated.Chris Whitty; the CMO for England, overruled the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) on the 13th September 2021 and wrote a letter to the UK Government advising them to offer the Pfizer Covid-19 injection to all children over the age of 12 with...

Despite repeated denials by NIAID Director Anthony Fauci that his agency used American taxpayer money to fund Chinese gain-of-function research on bats infected with coronaviruses, the National Institutes of Health – which oversees NIAID – admitted in a letter to House Oversight Committee ranking member James Comer, R-Ky., that a "limited experiment" was indeed conducted. Comer's fellow Kentuckian, Sen. Rand Paul, joined "Fox News Primetime" to react to the bombshell, as well as further reflect on his often-viral sparring with Fauci during Senate hearings on the matter. Earlier this year, Paul accused Fauci of "obfuscating the truth" and at one...
