Italy: Remains of Pakistani woman who refused marriage found
The remains of an 18-year-old Pakistani-Italian woman who was killed by her family at Novellara near Reggio Emilia for refusing an arranged marriage in Pakistan18 months ago are believed to have been found near her home at the weekend after the uncle who is believed to have strangled her took police to a spot where previous searches had been fruitless because she had been buried over two metres down.
The remains are believed to be of Saman Abbas, though DNA tests are needed to confirm this.
The uncle, Danish Hasnain, accused of the murder with two of Saman’s cousins, her father Shabbar and mother Nazia, reportedly took police to a site near the family home at the town in Emilia.
Police teams and sniffer dogs had previously failed to find any remains at the spot because they were covered by over two metres of earth, police said.
Hasnain has been accused by Sama’s brother of being the actual killer, strangling the young woman after she refused to marry an older man in Pakistan and thus ‘dishonouring’ the family, police said.
The family also disapproved of Saman’s western lifestyle and her Italian boyfriend.
The young woman disappeared on the night of April 30-May 1 last year.
Her father was arrested in Pakistan last week and is awaiting extradition while her mother is still on the run in the Asian country.
It is unclear whether Pakistan will grant extradition.
Italy: Salvini’s League party to offer couples €20,000 for church wedding
Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini’s League party is putting a proposal back on the table for the state to subsidize church weddings, including the costs of wedding gowns, rings, lunch, and photographs to the tune of €20,000.
The only condition is that couples have to take their vows in church.
The allowance would be available to couples’ whose annual gross income does not exceed €23,000 and who have been Italian citizens for at least 10 years.
A majority in parliament is assured this time
The League had already tabled the same proposal in parliament in April 2019, but it failed to pass then due to the 2019 government crisis. Now, the League, as part of the governing right-wing coalition, can count on a secure parliamentary majority. According to a previous party statement, the initiative is designed to increase the number of marriages and church weddings.
According to the latest figures from the Istat statistics office, just over 184,000 marriages were performed in 2019, down 6 percent from a year earlier. The share of church weddings was 47.4 percent, while in 1990, more than 82 percent of weddings were church weddings.
Italy faces one of the starkest demographic problems in the world due to a rapidly aging population and low birthrate. In 2020, only 13 percent of Italian men and 25 percent of women indicated they wanted to have children, and last year, Italy recorded its lowest-ever number of births. As Remix News reported, another 40 percent have said they do not ever want to have kids. This data may seem shocking, but experts were predicting such a scenario 30 years ago.

G20 countries decide on the international digital vaccination card
Politicians are currently emphasizing that the “pandemic” is over. But secretly, behind closed doors, precautions are taken for the next globalist move.
In the wake of other decisions, the heads of state and government of the G20 countries, who met at their summit in Bali recently, agreed to introduce a globally valid digital vaccination card for travel. Under point 22 of their final declaration, the G20 leaders announced that they wanted to strengthen local and regional capacities for the production of health products in order to facilitate access to vaccinations worldwide, particularly in developing countries.
It gets explosive in the small print. It states: “We support the WHO mRNA vaccine technology transfer hub with the aim of sharing technology and technical know-how on a voluntary basis and by mutual agreement. We recognize the importance of common technical standards and verification methodologies to facilitate seamless international travel, interoperability and acceptance of digital and non-digital solutions, including immunization proof.”
This once again proves a “conspiracy theory”, the implementation of which was already confirmed during the Corona “pandemic”. The introduction of digital standards that will be used in the future to severely limit mobility.
So far there have been no global, but only regional control instruments such as the EU’s digital vaccination card. This gap is now closed.
Biden pushing to extend Covid powers
The US Senate on November 15 voted with both Democrats and Republicans demanding an end to the “Covid-19 emergency”. Senator Roger Marshall (Republican) initiated the resolution. Two and a half years have been enough, as Biden has undermined the constitutional rights of the Americans, Marshall said.
In the event that the Senate resolution passes in the House of Representatives, where Republicans will dominate after the midterms, US President Joe Biden has however announced a veto.
Biden is thus refusing to give up the power the White House appropriated over the twice-extended Covid-19 state of emergency.
Republicans have accused Biden of using unrestricted Covid-19 powers to advance the globalist agenda of undermining Americans’ constitutional rights and making them dependent on the government for social programs. Using the Covid-19 pandemic as a cover is no longer justified based on the current figures. They pointed out that Biden himself, at a Detroit auto show in September, called the pandemic over.
Former US President Donald Trump had first declared the Covid-19 emergency on March 13, 2020.
Some Democrats supported Republican motion
The Senate voted 62 to 36 in favor of Marshall’s motion. Thirteen Democrats supported the Republicans, with all “no” votes coming from Democrats. Two senators abstained. Democrat Senator Chuck Schumer voted for the resolution but then denied it. His voice was mistakenly interpreted as “yes” but that was not his position, he said. That will be corrected.
The White House commented on the vote: Further protection against Covid-19 and “ensuring flexible response options” are the top priorities of the Biden government. The end of the Covid-19 state of emergency, which was actually supposed to expire in January, would limit this option.
It is no secret that it would be easier to govern and wield power under the pretext of an emergency. On the day of the Senate decision, the US Department of Health announced that it would maintain the Covid-19 emergency until at least mid-January. The end of the state of emergency will be announced 60 days before it expires. For a termination in January, November 11 would have been the deadline.
The Covid-19 vaccination requirement for non-Americans traveling to the USA, which would have expired in November, has also been extended until at least January 8, 2023. Despite the announcement by the US Department of Health, some US states, including some ruled by Democrats, have decided not to extend the state of emergency. Washington ended it around the end of October.
Once the state of emergency ends, the US government will stop paying for Covid-19 vaccinations, testing, treatments and other costs. The “commercial sector”, such as hospitals and insurance companies, then have to cover these costs themselves. One can therefore rightly assume that there has been massive lobbying to prevent this.

‘Qatar bribed eight Ecuadorian players’: Explosive match-fixing claim rocks FIFA World Cup 2022
FIFA World Cup 2022: A match-fixing claim ahead of the opening match on Sunday has shaken Qatar, which is hosting the FIFA World Cup 2022. The first match is scheduled to be played between the host country and Ecuador today.
However, ahead of the clash, Amjad Taha, a strategic political affairs expert, on Thursday claimed that Qatar has bribed eight Ecuadorian players $7.4 million to lose the opener. He further said that five Qatari and Ecadour insiders have confirmed this.
“Exclusive: Qatar bribed eight Ecuadorian players $7.4 million to lose the opener(1-0 2nd half). Five Qatari and #Ecadour insiders confirmed this. We hope it’s false. We hope sharing this will affect the outcome. The world should oppose FIFA corruption,” Taha said in a tweet on November 17.
While no one else has so far made or backed this serious allegation, Marc Owen Jones, an associate professor at Hamad Bin Khalifa University, said that this was fake news coming from “a well-known disinformation account”.
Qatar has already been facing massive criticism for its human rights violations, inhumane treatment of migrant workers constructing stadiums for sports, strict regulations – like no drinking and no revealing clothes in compliance with Islamic laws – for visitors, and inadequate facilities to accommodate lakhs of football fans.
Many fans who have landed in the country to watch Fifa have taken to social media platforms to complain about the harsh conditions in Qatar.
BBC’s Rhia Chohan in a tweet said they spent the night in a fan village near Lusail Stadium. “Guests slowly checking in to find they can’t buy drinking water without a wristband. It’s 30 degrees. Nearest shop an hour walk. No one knows where the wristbands are. We’re told the festival is meant to kick off at 6.30pm,” she said.
Israeli American writer Emily Schrader said that the Qatari officials were threatening to smash cameras of fans filming the harsh conditions inside the World Cup Fan Village. “You’d think after China and Russia they’d have learned not to hold major sporting events in dictatorships but hey, that’s FIFA for you! Qatari officials are threatening to smash cameras of fans filming the harsh conditions inside the World Cup Fan Village,” she wrote on Twitter.

‘White B****rd!’ – No Jail for Racist Thugs Whose Victim Required Surgery
Two South Asian men who participated in a racist gang attack that left the victim needing surgery have been allowed to skip prison by a British judge.
23-year-old Urfan Amjad and 20-year-old Fahim Shukat were convicted of participating in a “violent and sustained attack” against a white victim in Manchester.
At one point, the gang struck the victim so hard in the head with a glass bottle that it shattered, then used its jagged shard to stab him, cutting open his head and leaving him with a “serious” wound in the calf muscle of his leg that required surgery, according to a Manchester Evening News court report.
Sentencing, Mr Recorder Usher said the pair “were part of that group that inflicted terrifying injuries. He thought he was going to die,” adding that their victim “was minding his own business and someone in your group decided that he wasn’t welcome where you were and made a racist remark to him. You two joined in, and neither of you had to. What then followed was a serious and sustained assault that both of you took part in.”
Despite this, and despite claiming the be “considerably concerned” that Shukat went on to be convicted of possessing cannabis and cocaine and carrying a bladed article well after the attack, the judge handed down a weak sentence of just 14 months, which the pair would not have to serve in full — and then suspended it, so they will not have to serve it at all unless they are convicted of further crimes.
The thugs may have attracted less derisory sentences had the authorities not settled for convictions for violent disorder rather than pursuing them for serious, racially aggravated assaults — but such softness is not unprecedented in cases where the victims are white.
In 2019, for example a 20-strong gang of South Asian heritage launched a shocking attack on three tree surgeons they excoriated as “white bastards” who were in their “country” — namely Rochdale, England — which saw the principal victim, a teenager, have his ribcage caved in and his hand cut off with an axe, was not treated as racist, which would likely have seen attracted heavier sentences under English “hate crime” law.
Most infamously, not a single so-called grooming gang rape case has been treated as racially aggravated, with judges and prosecutors appearing to be in denial about the racial element of the abuse despite several victims clearly indicating their abusers held racist views and the abusers themselves openly expressing racist views with respect to white women.
Meanwhile, British judges have also taken the extraordinary position that predators who prey on South Asian girls should be punished more severely than predators who prey on white girls, because of the “shame” the victims and their families experience in their communities.
Italy plays Florida, France plays Martha’s Vineyard — See the video
By Monica Showalter
If anyone wants to see just how far that Martha’s Vineyard “stunt” initiated by Florida’s governor, Ron DeSantis has gone, take a look at what’s going on in France and Italy:
According to the U.K. Express:
A diplomatic row between France and Italy erupted last week when Rome forced Macron’s hand to accept a humanitarian rescue ship, the Ocean Viking with 234 migrants aboard, after Italy had refused it a port for weeks.
The presidents of Italy and France sought to tamp down tensions over migration Monday by asserting the need for “full cooperation” on a host of issues and the importance of strong bilateral relations after days of diplomatic barbs over the fate of migrants crossing the Mediterranean. In response to Italy’s demand France accepted migrants from the Ocean Viking rescue ship, President Emmanuel Macron retaliated by suspending its participation in an EU solidarity pact to accept 3,000 relocated migrants this year from Italy and sent officers to reinforce its southern border crossings and prevent migrants from entering.
The nicey-nice talk is just that — nicey-nice talk, and Italy’s president is largely a ceremonial one. What happened was a full-fledged row.
It began as a migrant issue. What is going on in Europe is that assorted European NGOs sail ships to pick up illegal migrants from distant places like Bangladesh, Pakistan, Eritrea, and sub-Saharan Africa, at sea, ensconced on human-smuggling racket ships departing from Libya and serving as a kind of cartel taxi service, bringing the illegal migrants into Italian ports, which are the closest to the Libyan coast. Italy takes in tens of thousand of these illegal migrants, which is proving profitable indeed for the human smugglers, but costly to Italy, which must pay for their welfare and upkeep, as well as tolerate the crime, the litter, the sexism, and the stone-age sanitation practices, sometimes even tent cities.
The European Union has nominally vowed to share the migrant “wealth” by distributing the unvetted illegal migrants throughout the Eurozone, but many countries don’t keep up their end of the bargain, leaving Italy holding the migrant bag.
Italy put its foot down and dispatched one of the NGO migrant taxi-service ships full of illegal migrants to the French port of Toulon. Italy’s newly elective conservative prime minister, Giorgia Meloni, kept her campaign promises to Italians by effectively taking a page from the gubernatorial decisions of Florida’s Gov. Ron DeSantis, who dispatched a plane full of illegals recruited from their landing pad in Texas over to the tony sanctuary-island Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts. Like Martha’s Vineyard’s wealthy hypocrites, according to the press accounts, France backed out of its E.U. deal to take in migrants, in order to make sure no more such migrant ships come to its ports from Italy. Italy was apparently supposed to just keep them, although as of now, it’s unclear as to why the Italian navy can’t force the ships back to the Libyan coast where they came from.
The raging statement from Italy’s prime minister, Giorgia Meloni — you’ve got to listen to it in Italian with the sound on — pretty well demonstrated that this was someone who full well knew the damage and hypocrisy of France, whose policies effectively enticed migrants to dump their homelands and come up to Europe for the welfare. Meloni’s edgy working-class Roman accent speaking in the sharpest of furious tones, pretty well conveys the Italian sentiment and is something to hear.
She’s informed, she’s furious, and she’s laying it out to everyone, basically out-Martha Vineyard-ing even Ron DeSantis as she forced that ship to France.
For the smug Eurochickens out there, starting with Emmanuel Macron of France, she’s gotten word out now that Italy’s not one to mess with these days, they’ve had it with being Europe’s punching bag on migrants. Expect the Europeans to adjust their expectations accordingly.
