India: National-level baseball player Sanjana Barkade commits suicide after Muslim threatens her to convert to Islam, had pretended to be Hindu earlier
On June 5, Monday, a national-level baseball player Sanjana Barkade committed suicide by hanging herself after facing continued threats to convert to Islam in the Jabalpur district of Madhya Pradesh. The accused who has been identified as Abdul Mansoori alias Rajan Khan was arrested on Thursday by Sanjeevni Nagar police on charges of abetment to suicide. The deceased victim’s mother said that Abdul Mansoori was pressuring Sanjana to convert to Islam. Sanjana’s father said that Abdul lied about his real identity to trap the victim. Sanjana hanged herself in her bedroom while her parents were away at a family function.
According to a Dainik Bhaskar report, the investigation indicated that Abdul Mansoori and Sanjana Barkade had been in a relationship for over a year. A few days ago, the two had a rift over an Instagram story. On the other hand, Sanjana’s friends said that she was quite jittery after hearing the news of love jihad cases. She distanced herself from Abdul, but he continued to threaten her.
The deceased victim’s mother claimed that the accused threatened her over the phone a few days ago. Accused Abdul Mansoori had asked, “You’re the girl’s mother? It’s good that you picked up the call. I wanted to talk to you only. You persuade your daughter to accept our religion (Islam). I want to do nikah with your daughter. If you do not accept our religion, we have come to find out where you live. We will kill you. Nothing will happen if you accept Islam.”
After hanging up the phone, Sanjana’s mother inquired as to who the caller was. Sanjana responded by saying she did not know him and switched off her phone. Meanwhile, Sanjana’s father stated that he learned three months ago that the person Sanjana spoke with on the phone was not a Hindu boy Rajan but a Muslim. Sanjana distanced herself from Abdul after learning about his real identity. This infuriated accused Abdul, who tortured Sanjana. He also stole Sanjana’s documents, as well as medals and certificates which she won in various baseball competitions. When Sanjana asked him to return her medals and documents, Abdul asked her to convert to Islam.
Meanwhile, the deceased victim’s father stated that the perpetrator was detained following his complaint. This has given him some relief, however, justice will be served only when Abdul gets punished. According to the police, Abdul told them during interrogation that his relationship with Sanjana had been going on for a year. He also visited Jabalpur three times to meet Sanjana. But Sanjana began distancing from him. He was continually pressuring her to continue the relationship by threatening to make her pictures and videos viral on social media if she did not consent.
Following Sanjana’s suicide, police are trying to determine the cause of the fight between the accused and the deceased victim. Sanjana’s father has reportedly accused Abdul Mansoori, a street vendor in Rewa of trapping his daughter in love jihad.
Disastrous Lockdowns Still Destroying Lives & Livelihoods
In Germany, passage of the trans-friendly Self-Determination Act is fraught with dangers
By Eva Kneifel
In Germany, the ruling coalition proposes to make changing one’s gender on legal documents, such as passports, a matter of simple self-declaration.
It’s being hailed in the press, but there are dangers lurking with it. In other countries such as Canada, the U.S., and also the U.K., you can see the problems that came with it.
A policy must not simply decide what can be to the detriment of the majority. The Self-Determination Act means that everyone over the age of 14 is free to choose what is written in their passport about their gender.
“Dead-naming,” or, using a newly minted man or woman’s birth name, will also be a punishable offense with fines of up to €2,500 under this law.
Why should saying the filed name be punished? Of course, you shouldn’t insult anyone, but we already have a law for that. Is this supposed to be a denial of biological reality?
It’s a biological fact that you have the other gender, otherwise, you wouldn’t be trans. To say otherwise is to ban natural sciences in general. If you can feel insulted when you say there are only two genders, you have a problem. But there is still a problem with the so-called dead-naming. It’s on a completely different meta level than regular insults because you can’t deny that the person is a different gender.
That’s not an insult, it’s the truth.
How could you prove that? If someone who dislikes you accuses you of doing it, how could you prove that you didn’t do it? If the state passes such a law, then it is no longer neutral, it is preemptively taking sides.
At that point, the presumption of innocence no longer applies in Germany, which would be a serious encroachment on the judiciary.
In the case of all other crimes, the state is neutral. However, a state may not enact a law that can be exploited in such a way that anyone can actually report anyone for misgendering.
Another controversy in this law is that 14 year-olds could now go to the government registry office (Germany has these) and take advantage of it, changing their sex even if their parents are against it.
Then a judge can take a child away from his or her parents, or, as they say in Germany, commission the child without the parents.
This has potential to break up and undermine families. Parents should only be deprived of custody in an emergency. Emergencies can be found in cases of child abuse, not when parents doubt something. Here the state mimics the able parent of the people. This is presumptuous. The state should always be something neutral as far as parental rights go.
And what happens when the law is passed? Will men take over women’s sports, and invade same-sex spaces such as locker rooms and bathrooms?
Our societies thrive on gender equality. You can already see in other countries such as the U.S. or Canada the kind of problems this causes. Our politicians don’t want to hear about that and in this crowd, our queer commissioner and state secretary in the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, Sven Lehmann stands out. He openly shows his ignorance and arrogance.
On the one hand, he says quite openly that he believes that hormone blockers used on children are safe, even though studies show that it is not true.
Should he be asking himself, if a 10-year-old boy takes eight years of puberty blockers and then stops, is he a healthy 18-year-old boy?
But he doesn’t do that, he rules in an arrogant manner and scolds everyone as a transphobe. His arguments are deeply emotional and not rational.
Yes, it may be that today’s transexual law (which the new proposal will replace) feels hurtful. But I won’t explain why that is an argument because it is not. The transsexual law from the 1980s allows people to be legally recognized as “gender different” from their born gender.
It provides for either the adaptation of the first name to the perceived gender (“small solution”, §§ 1 ff. TSG) or the change of the gender entry in the birth register (change of the gender assignment under civil status law – “big solution”, §§ 8 ff. TSG) . The determination of gender can be requested together with the change of first name or in an additional procedure.
Since the decision of the Federal Constitutional Court of Jan. 11, 2011[1], the requirements for determining gender affiliation have been requested as for the change of first name. It is possible to change from “male” to “female,” “male” to “diverse,” “female” to “diverse,” and vice versa. It is also possible to delete the gender entry. It is good that there is a ban on sterilization. That exists in the European Union since 2011. But still, the law is a compromise between groups in society. However, one should not forget what a transition means and therefore that the law is good, especially for young people and physical care is best.
And that’s exactly where Sven Lehmann and the traffic-light government are wrong.
Because it may be the case that some trans people see it as hurtful, but the law and objective knowledge shouldn’t go by “feel.” It’s not about feeling, even if it’s understandable. For feelings should not be laws, but only objects of truth. If society always only cares about hurtful feelings, then there is no reasonable state to say ‘no’ to, e.g., a blind boy who wants to be a pilot should be a pilot, right? That’s the logic of this new law. Should he be a pilot? If he is told ‘no,’ what if he feels hurt? What does it mean for society as a whole if everyone can produce their feelings as the basis for laws?
Especially since the state of trans is a diagnosis and it’s unfair to deny them a psychologist. And it doesn’t matter whether Sven Lehmann calls any opposition to his ideas the mark of the transphobe. If he really cared about people, he wouldn’t erase objective reality from the law. The fact that one should simply be able to freely choose one’s gender each year in one’s passport goes against our society because it goes against the idea of dual genders. What happens, as required by the new law, when no gender is included on a passport? The worst thing is that this law doesn’t do the trans people any favors.
That’s the Point: German Economist ‘Warns’ Rise of Populism Will Hinder Immigration
A senior economist in Germany has warned that an increase in populism will likely slow immigration into the country, a statement that seems unlikely to deter voters.
Marcel Fratzscher, President of the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW), warned that a “strengthening” of the populist right in Germany would hinder the massive waves of immigration into the country.
The so-called warning comes during a time of blind panic for Germany’s political mainstream, with the populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) party storming ahead in the polls despite every single other mainstream party working to alienate them as part of “cordon sanitaire” politics.
Such efforts now appear to be in collapse, with the party now tied in popularity with Germany’s largest ruling party — the left with Social Democrats of Chancellor Olaf Scholz — at 19 per cent support.
According to a report by Handelsblatt, certain economists in the country are panicking at the steady rise of the party, with multiple members of the DIW expressing fear that they will put an end to the country’s long streak of hardcore progressivism.
Speaking to the publication, Fratzscher warned that the increased support for the AfD would result in “economic damage” for the country, claiming that any “further strengthening of right-wing extremist forces” would hurt immigration into the country.

“If this openness and tolerance continues to be lost, then German companies will be able to keep up with global competition less and less,” the DIW chief claimed.
How exactly such warnings are supposed to dissuade AfD voters in any way remains unclear, with one of the major platforms for the party being to get mass immigration into the country under control.
Fratzscher is not the only economist upset at current circumstances, with others speaking of a negative economic impact on Germany should more and more people begin to question its so-called “open society”.
What the economists do not discuss in the article is the impact of Germany’s open society itself, with a combination of radical green politics and the country’s pro-Ukraine stance having caused catastrophic damage to the country’s industry thanks to a rapid rise in energy costs.
Things are now so bad in the country that there are fears that it could face permanent deindustrialisation, with firms fleeing abroad if nothing is done to curb costs.
“The danger of deindustrialisation cannot be dismissed out of hand,” the head of one manufacturer remarked late last year. “We are not renewing our infrastructure enough, building too little and not innovative enough. We are watching as the most important competitors in the world – such as the US and China – overtake us left and right.”
Poland’s Confederation party has Facebook account restored and is surging in the polls
The right-wing Confederation party has enjoyed a recent surge in the polls and has now succeeded in having its Facebook account restored, although it is still being sidelined by much of Poland’s mainstream media.
The Confederation party’s attorney, Michał Wawer, told Onet.pl news outlet that a year ago a Polish court had ordered Facebook to lift its ban on the Confederation’s account pending the resolution of a legal dispute. However, it was very difficult to get Meta, Facebook’s parent company, to actually implement the court’s decision.
At Wednesday’s meeting with Meta, the party finally learned that its profile would be unblocked. The original decision to suspend the Confederation party’s account was taken after it was accused of violating rules with regard to COVID-19 misinformation and hate speech. Confederation as a party opposed lockdowns and the pressure to get vaccinated.
The party sued Facebook demanding an apology and financial compensation. According to the party, the decision to unblock its account means that honest competition between political parties has been restored, as access to social media is critical in the modern age for parties to be able to communicate with voters.
Poland’s digital affairs minister, Janusz Cieszyński, expressed satisfaction at the decision and stated that “putting pressure on (the company) made sense,” claiming that the Polish government had successfully intervened in the dispute.
Confederation, however, is skeptical whether such an intervention actually took place. They pointed to the fact that Poland’s public broadcaster, TVP, known to be controlled by the ruling conservatives, has excluded Confederation for years.
Meanwhile, Poland’s alternative party of the right has been doing well in recent opinion polls.
According to the latest survey by IBRiS pollster taken after the liberal opposition’s mass march and rally on June 4, the party has more than 12 percent of the vote. Since neither the liberal opposition nor the ruling conservatives have enough support to have a majority in the future parliament, this would mean that Confederation would hold the balance of power after this autumn’s general election.
In the heart of Vienna, Austria: memorial service for Islamist terrorist!
A case for the Office for the Protection of the Constitution: At the Islamic Center in the Floridsdorf district of Vienna, a preacher called for a memorial service for an Egyptian terrorist who murdered three Israeli border soldiers in cold blood a few days ago.
“The Islamic Center Vienna condemns any extremist ideas and expressly distances itself from crimes committed in the name of Islam – a religion of peace. People who hold such positions or spread propaganda glorifying violence and hate are not welcome at the Islamic Center,” reads the homepage of the Muslim community in Floridsdorf. A current call on Twitter may not quite fit this statement.
There, the call for participation in a memorial service circulated. Of all things for Mohamed S., an Egyptian, who is labeled a “martyr and hero” there. In fact, the heavily armed man is said to have shot dead three Israeli soldiers with a Kalashnikov a few days ago near Har Charif in the border area between Israel and Egypt. He himself also died in the firefight.
The background is still largely unclear; a foiled drug smuggling operation may have played a role. Mohamed S., who was killed, was an Egyptian policeman. Whether he himself was involved in illegal activities and why he killed the Israeli soldiers is still under investigation.
In the call to remembrance it reads like this: “We ask Almighty God to forgive him and have mercy on him and let him dwell in His bountiful gardens and bring this into the balance of his good deeds and gather him among the prophets. And the friends, the martyrs, the righteous and the good are companions.”

Germany: Palestinian beat up pregnant woman because of allegedly earlier bad experiences in Israeli detention
Mohammed I. (32) faces a number of charges, including dangerous bodily harm, coercion, threats and attempted abortion. According to the prosecution, the defendant beat his stepdaughter Sara F. (23, name changed). “He directly set to abort a pregnancy,” says prosecutor Svetlana Kitz (40).
Yesterday, the trial before the Dresden District Court. Mohammed I. – according to his own statements “Palestinian citizen” – is married to Amira S. (42) from Syria according to Islamic law. Their daughter Sara S. is pregnant with their fourth child. The other three children (1 to 4 years old) are looked after more often by their grandmother.
The stepdaughter in court: “On December 16, 2022, I came in the evening at 10 p.m. from the hairdresser, my children were with my mother, I wanted to spend the night there with them.” Mohammed I. is said to have been generally opposed to the grandchildren being with their grandmother so often. ” This resulted in a quarrel. When I also raised my voice, he hit me on the head with a child’s shovel, pushed me out the door,” says Sara S.
The mother calls her daughter back in. The argument escalates: “He slapped me, punched me in the stomach. He knew I was 13 weeks pregnant. Then he threatened me with a kitchen knife, saying he would kill my ex-boyfriend and me. He acted very aggressively,” says the young mother.
Mohammed I. admitted only to the blows with the plastic shovel; his wife claimed not to have witnessed a knife or blows to the stomach. The Palestinian ended up in custody, where he went on the rampage in his cell, throwing a chair at court officials, who were slightly injured.
Through his lawyer, Mohammed I. explained that he had not endured detention because he had allegedly suffered bad experiences in Israeli custody in the past.
The trial continues.
Elon Musk Sends Warning to Justice System Following Trump Indictment – Shows Interest in Letting Trump Do Twitter Event to Speak Out
How to commit the perfect coup against a president and his supporters
By Andrea Widburg
Everything from here on out is a theory, but it’s a theory based upon readily available facts. If you look at them in a particular way, those readily available facts show a sustained pattern of subverting the will of the people to obtain total political power, something that culminated in the recently announced indictment against Donald Trump.
If I were trying to overthrow a duly elected president, I’d start by saying he conspired with a foreign power to cheat in the election. I’d believe I could get away with this charge because I would have the media on my side, relentlessly pounding away at the narrative. It would help that members of the president’s own party, despising him for destroying their cozy little arrangement with the opposition, refused to support him politically.
When it became apparent that the president was hugely effective at governing on those things that matter to ordinary people, such as the economy, national security, immigration, energy policy, etc., and that the false charges of treason and cheating weren’t sticking, I’d look ahead to throwing the next election.
What I would need is a way to prevent the president from campaigning and a way to institutionalize election fraud. Thankfully, I would have gamed out long before the election what a government can do if faced with a pandemic infection. COVID’s appearance was providential.
Please note before I continue that we knew by March exactly how bad COVID was and what the best approach was: the Diamond Princess, a cruise ship moored off Japan, was a perfect Petri dish. It revealed that the elderly and immune-compromised were at risk; everyone else was fine. The way to address the problem was to protect that small group and get on with life.
With help from that same compliant media establishment and fellow travelers in the social media and tech world, along with an administrative state that despised the president, I would quickly turn that flu into the newest incarnation of the Black Death. Once the people panicked, I would lock down the country while insisting that there was no viable treatment. This provided three benefits:
- it would destroy the thriving economy on which the president would run;
- it would prevent the president, a crowd-pleaser, from campaigning before crowds; and
- it would allow legislatures and secretaries of state across America to implement often unconstitutional, and always unreasonable, voting rules, such as months-long early voting, ballot-harvesting, and voting only by mail-in ballot. Add to this the ongoing refusal to check identification, and the election was in the bag before it started.
I would further destabilize things by using an ex-con’s drug death in police custody to set America on fire. The fuel would have been provided by years of anti-white and anti-police rhetoric, especially in the education world, from academia down to kindergarten.
At this point, I would select as my candidate a person who would get on board with every plan, no matter how nefarious. The perfect candidate would be both very corrupt and very stupid, so he wouldn’t balk at anything, no matter how wrong or ridiculous. Help would come from members of the president’s own party, who, as noted, despised him and were delighted to return to the cozy arrangement of polite, and enriching, opposition.
The beleaguered president would give me a gift by asking his supporters to come to D.C. to protest the Senate’s pro forma election confirmation. I would deny the president’s request for extra security on the day and plant untold numbers of FBI agents in the crowd, and then lob flashbangs at them without first telling them to disperse, inciting panic. I would instruct the Capitol police to open the heavy, sealed, unbreakable doors, forcing the crowd into the building.
Then I would spend the next two and a half years relentlessly persecuting and prosecuting the members of that crowd, 99.9999% of whom had no illegal intent and were instead subtly coerced into entering the building. I would deny them the right to a speedy trial, hold them for years without charges, hide exculpatory evidence, seize their funds to deny them counsel, and impose on them the strictest charges possible, even as my party ensured that violent criminals across America walked through the legal system unscathed. I especially would have given a pass to anyone on my side who violently protested the president. The president’s supporters would learn in the most brutal way possible that they no longer had the right to free speech and free assembly.
Once having taken over the government (and having already long owned the federal criminal justice system, from DOJ attorneys to the FBI), if the deposed president had the temerity to run again (and to look as if he was going to succeed), I would indict him for a crime he couldn’t possibly have committed: taking “classified” documents from the White House.
I would know that the president has plenary power to declassify documents, meaning that, by walking them out of the White House, he automatically declassified them. And to hammer home my total power, I would not indict the current president and the past vice president, both of whom lacked plenary power and admitted to possessing classified documents.
The best part of my coup would be knowing that, after I issued the indictment, the president’s supporters, having seen how the federal government deliberately and enthusiastically destroyed the lives of those who showed up on January 6, would be too cowed to protest.
The damage I caused to our constitutional system of government, the economy, and the lives of the American people would be irrelevant to me. I would have attained total power, and that was always the only thing that mattered.
