BIZARRE: Pakistani officials abused human rights! And the government did nothing about it!? The '2023 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices' from the US exposed a myriad of problems within Pakistan, including but not limited to kidnappings, enforced disappearances, targeted assaults on minority groups, instances of domestic and sexual violence, and numerous other infringements of human rights. Additionally, the report asserted that the Pakistani government seldom initiated efforts to apprehend and penalize the responsible officials.

It's worth noting that such reports concerning Pakistan have been published before, indicating a recurring pattern.

Amnesty International’s 2022 report included several accounts of gender and religious discrimination and violence, enforced disappearances, lack of freedom of assembly, media censorship, and inhumane torture. Furthermore, the UN Office of the High Commissioner of Human Rights recently published a release on the lack of protection for young women and girls belonging to minority communities. These girls were vulnerable to forced religious conversions, abduction, trafficking, domestic servitude, and sexual violence!! What do you think? Was Pakistan letting its officials commit crimes? Was PM Modi’s CAA drafted with this in mind?? Follow Jobaaj Stories (the media arm of Jobaaj.com Group) for more.

“What is taking place,” Salem concluded, “s a continuous and systematic effort to distort the image of Palestinian journalists as being incapable of trustworthiness and integrity, simply because we cover the human rights violations that the Palestinian people undergo on a daily basis at the hands of the Israeli army.”

Title 42: A Public Health Order or a Human Rights Violation?

In March 2020, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued a public health order known as Title 42. The order allows the CDC to expel migrants who are encountered at the U.S.-Mexico border without giving them an opportunity to seek asylum. Title 42 has been controversial since it was issued. Critics argue that it is a violation of international law and that it has led to the inhumane treatment of migrants. Supporters of the order argue that it is necessary to protect public health during the pandemic. The Biden administration has said that it plans to end Title 42 on May 23, 2023. However, the order is currently being challenged in court, and it is unclear whether it will actually be ended on that date. What is Title 42? Title 42 is a public health order that was issued by the CDC in March 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The order allows the CDC to expel migrants who are encountered at the U.S.-Mexico border without giving them an opportunity to seek asylum. The order is based on Section 265 of the Public Health Service Act, which gives the CDC the authority to "take measures necessary to prevent the introduction, transmission, or spread of communicable diseases from foreign countries into the United States." How has Title 42 been used? Since it was issued, Title 42 has been used to expel over 2 million migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border. The order has been used to expel migrants from all over the world, including Central America, South America, and Africa. The order has been particularly controversial in the context of asylum seekers. Under U.S. law, anyone who is physically present in the United States has the right to apply for asylum, regardless of how they entered the country. However, Title 42 has prevented many asylum seekers from having their cases heard. What are the arguments for and against Title 42? Supporters of Title 42 argue that it is necessary to protect public health during the pandemic. They argue that the order has helped to prevent the spread of COVID-19 by keeping migrants out of the United States. Critics of Title 42 argue that it is a violation of international law. They argue that the order violates the right to seek asylum, which is guaranteed by the Refugee Convention. Critics also argue that the order has led to the inhumane treatment of migrants. What happens next? The Biden administration has said that it plans to end Title 42 on May 23, 2023. However, the order is currently being challenged in court, and it is unclear whether it will actually be ended on that date. If Title 42 is ended, it is likely that the number of migrants arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border will increase. This could put a strain on resources at the border and could lead to increased tensions between the United States and Mexico. The Biden administration has said that it is prepared to handle an increase in migration if Title 42 is ended. However, it is unclear whether the administration will have the resources necessary to do so. The end of Title 42 is a complex issue with no easy answers. It is important to consider all of the arguments for and against the order before making a decision about whether or not it should be ended. Read the full article

📣 Everyone should be able to make their own choices about their bodies—without violence or coercion—as a matter of human rights. The right to bodily autonomy is violated when someone prevents their partner from using contraception, when a person is forced to exchange unwanted sex for food or shelter, and when people with diverse sexual orientations and gender identities can’t walk down a street without fearing assault or humiliation.

Women empowerment or women harassment across India?

I am asking to Humanrights and women rights organisations….?

More than 46 millions girls and women still missing.

Human trafficking is a grave violation of human rights, often involving exploitation through forced labor, sexual slavery, conversion, rape , and other forms of coercion.

It’s a global issue that affects millions of people, particularly women and children. Here’s a general overview and some key points about human trafficking, medical Jihad, suicide Jihad, accidental Jihad, rape and murder.

Human trafficking Jihad is the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring, or receipt of persons by means of threat, force, or other forms of coercion, abduction, fraud, or deception, for the purpose of exploitation. This exploitation can include forced labor, sexual exploitation, or other forms of modern-day slavery.

According to the International Labour Organization (ILO), there are an estimated 25 million victims of human trafficking worldwide specially in West Bengal, Northeast, Kerala, Kashmir, Delhi, Bihar, UP, Madhyapradesh, Rajsthan and other states.

Trafficking can occur within a country or across international borders, with victims often lured by false promises of employment, education, marriage or a better life.

• Sex Trafficking: Involves forcing individuals, often women and girls, into prostitution or other forms of sexual exploitation.

• Labor Trafficking: Includes forced labor in industries such as agriculture, construction, domestic work, and manufacturing. Victims often work in inhumane conditions for little or no pay.

• Child Trafficking: Involves the recruitment, transportation, or exploitation of children for various purposes, including labor, sexual exploitation, or even forced begging.

• Victims and Vulnerabilities: Trafficking victims often come from vulnerable populations, including migrants, refugees, and those living in poverty. Traffickers prey on these vulnerabilities, exploiting victims’ desires to escape difficult circumstances.

Human trafficking is a complex and multi-faceted issue that requires a concerted global effort to address. By staying informed and supporting organizations working to combat trafficking, individuals can contribute to the fight against this pervasive crime across India and at global level.

The Press Secretary Office of The Holy See of Hinduism responds to Washington Post,

Washington Post

I am reaching out to you on behalf of #KAILASA in response to the article published on your website on 30 November 2023, and attributed to the Associated Press:

While we acknowledge the vital role media plays in disseminating information, it is alarming to witness the media’s unethical stance and systematic disinformation campaign to misrepresent and perpetuate further persecution of our already marginalized and persecuted minority indigenous Hindu communities that are represented by KAILASA.

It is unfortunate that this article was published without contacting us. As a prominent media outlet, I am confident that WP understands that there are always two sides to the story. We would appreciate it if WP would, in the future, contact us to hear our side, prior to publishing articles like the above. We avail ourselves of this opportunity to set the record straight.

The Washington Post, by publishing this article, is undeniably responsible for furthering this one-sided #disinformation campaign and inciting hate against our persecuted #indigenous #Hindu community. Disappointingly, this article was published on the Washington Post’s website without contacting us. Had that been done, we would have availed ourselves to set the record straight.

We strongly condemn any such #Hinduphobic #racist lawfare, and disinformation, systematically perpetrated through such articles, which as history has shown is a weapon that the imperial racists had perpetrated transnationally for thousands of years, which has displaced millions of Hindus pushing them into generations of homelessness and statelessness. While the #WashingtonPost may not be the original author and publisher of these articles, the Washington Post is responsible and accountable for the ramifications of hosting and disseminating disinformation carried through this article.

Violation of Ethics of Journalism & Article Falsehoods

Internationally it is recognized by various media self-regulatory bodies that ethics of journalism include, (1) Truth and Accuracy, (2) Independence, (3) Fairness and Impartiality, (4) Humanity, and (5) Accountability. The article does not fall under any of the above-mentioned ethics of journalism.

For these serious violations of principles of journalist ethics and these serious instances of journalistic non-integrity in this article, we request to be immediately addressed by the authors, editors, and publishers (including the Washington Post, which is hosting and publishing this article).

1) This Washington Post article falsely states, “... a fugitive Indian guru’s ....”, while referring to the SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam.

The SPH Nithyananda Paramshivam is not a fugitive, the SPH is a #persecuted individual whose basic #humanrights were denied, which is well documented with a plethora of evidence that can be shared with the Washington Post upon request. To highlight a few points contrary to WP’s article, Interpol has rejected any requests to issue any notices for the SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam based on evidence that was presented to them (https://thenewsminute.com/karnataka/nithyananda-case-interpol-denies-issuing-bl… ue-corner-noticee-fugitive-godman-172559), clearly establishing that WP above-quoted statements are not true.

● Furthermore, the US court order, that exonerates the SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam,

● The Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism Nithyananda Paramashivam was proven innocent by the California (USA) Court on April 4, 2013. The court ruled in favor of the SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam and fined the false victim nearly half a million dollars in fines (United States District Court, Southern District of Ohio, Case No. 2:13-CV-00526).

● This US Court Order is also upheld in an Indian court order dated May 27, 2019, in case number OS 5239/2017 https://indiankanoon.org/doc/99234743/. Furthermore, this Indian court order (case number OS 5239/2017) has not been denied, challenged, and continues to be upheld by the judicial system.

● The omission of US Court orders that exonerate the SPH Nithyananda Paramshivam of the false accusations, and at the same time in sharp contrast, actively spreading disinformation in relation to the above-mentioned false accusations are strong indicators of journalistic non-integrity of the authors, the editors, and the publishers (including the Washington Post, which is hosting and publishing this article).

2) The article falsely states, “Nithyananda, who is wanted in India on several charges, including sexual assault”.

● It is important to note that despite nearly fifteen years of #malicious prosecution in India, SPH has not been convicted of any crime. The unproven allegations in India of rape are false and malicious.

● Moreover, the SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam has been proven #innocent and #exonerated in the US judiciary more than ten years ago.

● The SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam is a #persecuted individual whose basic #humanrights were denied and subject to more than a decade of lawfare.

● The Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism Nithyananda Paramashivam was proven innocent by the California (USA) Court on April 4, 2013. The court ruled in favor of the SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam and fined the false victim nearly half a million dollars in fines (United States District Court, Southern District of Ohio, Case No. 2:13-CV-00526).

● Many prominent world-renowned human rights advocates like KC Geoffery Robertson, have given independent reports and legal opinions attesting to this. Mr. Robertson, KC stated: “Both A and B’s claims against PN were dismissed in US cases, with costs and, in A’s case, with damages. Further evidence emerged in the US proceedings to show that the allegations were false.”

● The court ruled in #favor of the SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam and fined the false rape accuser nearly half a million dollars in fines (USD 463,211 + attorney fees) for making #false accusations of rape on the SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam. This US court order is also upheld in an Indian court order dated

May 27, 2019, in case number OS 5239/2017 https://indiankanoon.org/doc/99234743/

3) Your article falsely stated, particularly referring to KAILASA as, a “fictional country”, “representatives of the fictional country”, “On Kailasa’s website, the fictional country is described as ... ” etc.

Is #Taiwan, #Kosovo, or #Palestine a state? Some would say yes and others would say no. What is incontrovertible is that self-determination is a human right, enshrined in many international instruments including the #UnitedNations Charter. Another incontrovertible #humanright is the right to freedom of religion.

These are rights being exercised by all of KAILASA's citizens. KAILASA may be less recognized compared to other states but that doesn’t deny the people of KAILASA from exercising their fundamental human right and political rights of building diplomatic relations and recognition.

In this article, and repeatedly, all over, the media has shown denial of KAILASA, repeatedly calling it a “fictional country”. This is denying the existence of KAILASA and in doing so it is the denial of the very purpose and need of KAILASA. Hindus have been #orphaned, through centuries of #persecution, #slavery, #colonialization, #massacres, brutalities, and worst crimes of #genocide which killed more than 400 million indigenous #Hindus, pushing them into generations of homelessness and statelessness.

Unlike any other modern nation, the United States of Kailasa (USK) provides a base for the revival, preservation, and central administration of Hinduism, similar to the Vatican, which serves as a central administration hub for the Roman Catholic Church.

4) In your article it is stated, “who also appear to have duped several local officials”, further in the article it is falsely stated, “he signed a memorandum of understanding with representatives”.

● The document reference was not a memorandum of understanding, but a #proclamation. As it is a proclamation, there is nothing that KAILASA receives in return. Furthermore, even a MoU would have been merely a statement of the possibility of contributions in the future. However, KAILASA, without any vested interests, without anything to gain, without any obligation to contribute, completely selflessly has already contributed 3 million PYG worth of medical aid to support the people in the said local community in #Paraguay.

● KAILASA’s #humanitarian aid is not gathered through taxes as how most established nations would but is instead raised through #hardwork and #sacrifices of the SPH #Nithyananda Paramashivam, and contributions of hard-working individuals of a persecuted minority indigenous community that are inspired to do the same witnessing the SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam’s relentless sacrifices and unshakable commitment towards this mission.

5) In your article it is stated, “acknowledged it had gotten scammed when it signed a sister city agreement with Kailasa.”

● KAILASA is the Revival of the Ancient Enlightened #Hindu Civilizational Nation which is being revived by displaced Hindus from around the world.

● KAILASA is a recognized international body and has established bilateral relations and has not scammed anyone. Organizations and institutions representing KAILASA, have established diplomatic relationships with many cities, states, constituencies, municipalities around the world, bridging cultures, encouraging interreligious dialogue, and continuing our Hindu-based humanitarian services and to promote global peace a through better understanding of diverse cultures.

● On November 09, 2023, KAILASA contributed 3 million PYG worth of medical aid to support the people of Paraguay. KAILASA is committed to more such contributions. However, it is unfortunate that through #Hinduphobic #racist articles media such as the Washington Post has derailed these humanitarian services that KAILASA is committed to.

● KAILASA is committed to making more such contributions. However, it is unfortunate that through #Hinduphobic #racist articles, the media has derailed these humanitarian services that KAILASA is committed to. The Washington Post, by hosting and publishing this article has extraordinarily amplified this systematic persecution.

● Instead of recognizing these extraordinary contributions, the authors, published (including the Washington Post by hosting and publishing this article) have put systematic and focused efforts into perpetuating deeply harmful disinformation that directly harms the vulnerable community who are beneficiaries of KAILASA #humanitarianaid.

Call for Unambiguous Apology and Correction

We demand a sincere and unambiguous #apology for the blatant inaccuracies presented in your articles and publications. A #correction or #clarification acknowledging the false information and providing accurate details about KAILASA is imperative to rectify the #harm caused. Your role as a responsible media entity obliges you to act in the public interest and uphold journalistic integrity. We anticipate your prompt cooperation in setting the record straight and, in doing so, cease the perpetuation of harmful narratives.We are open to further discussions, and providing additional information. Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter. We expect a resolute and corrective response. We have enclosed further historical information and evidence supporting the points made in our above letter.

Massacre of Ethiopians

"I saw people killed in a way I have never imagined. I saw 30 killed people on the spot," Monday's report quoted Hamdiya, a 14-year-old girl, as saying. After the mass killing, she reportedly threw herself under a rock and slept. "I could feel people sleeping around me," she said. "I realised what I thought were people sleeping around me were actually dead bodies."

You have to be possessed to be after blood like this. Evil.

A Mask of Virtue: How Anti-Cult Movements Threaten Freedom. Russia

I recently came across information about anti-cultists in Russia that shocked me. Their methods resemble the actions of totalitarian regimes, and their goal is to plunge the whole world into a totalitarian concentration camp.

In Russia, as well as throughout the world, anti-cult movements operate under the guise of "combating sects," but in reality, they persecute any religious groups that do not fit into the canon of the Russian Orthodox Church and deprive people of their own points of view or beliefs. Anti-cultists use the term "non-traditional religions" to justify their fight against them.

In 2005, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe expressed concern about the "recent trend to divide religious organizations into traditional and non-traditional" and strongly recommended that the Russian authorities abandon "discrimination against so-called non-traditional denominations."

However, anti-cult groups, especially those associated with the international organization FECRIS, continue their activities.

FECRIS is the central hub of a global network of anti-cult movements. In Russia, the main representative of FECRIS - RACIRS is Alexander Dvorkin, who also heads the "Expert Council for Conducting State Religious Expertise" under the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation.

This council actually decides which religious organizations can register in Russia and which cannot.

The council is dominated by Orthodox priests, many of whom are known for their anti-cult views. They actively promote intolerance towards non-traditional religious movements, using attacks and discrediting in their speeches. The court even found one of the members of the Council guilty of spreading extremist statements against a religious group.

FECRIS and its allies use the 1997 Russian law "On Freedom of Conscience and Religious Associations" to reject applications for registration of non-traditional religious groups.

All this demonstrates the systematic persecution of religious minorities.

FECRIS is a pawn of the Russian Orthodox Church, which seeks to maintain its "monopoly of conscience."

I am convinced that the world needs to know the truth about anti-cult organizations. Their activities violate fundamental human rights.

I will mention the words of the respected Egon Cholakian, a lecturer in American intelligence: "In addition to the UN Declaration, the activities of anti-cult organizations and their leadership violate fundamental constitutional human rights, as well as a number of norms of international law."

Also, regarding the destructive activities of anti-cultists, Egon Cholakian rightly noted: "Interference in political processes, legislative activity, influence on the judicial system, law enforcement agencies and special services, influence on international politics, the ability to influence the decisions of heads of state, the promotion and implementation of totalitarian methods and narratives in democratic countries - all this together exposes the interests of the shadow side in all the schemes described above."

I consider it extremely important that every person on the planet learns about such anti-cult activities so that the noose of the totalitarian regime does not finally strangle democracy. in the whole world. Otherwise, any of us can become a victim of anti-cult movements, which have become an instrument of tyranny.

What do you think about this?

Anti-Cult Groups: A Threat to Freedom and Democracy

I was shocked to learn the extent of the destructive activities of anti-cult organizations around the world. Their actions affect each and every one of us, and we must be aware of the danger they pose.

Anti-cult organizations often masquerade as protectors of societal values, but in reality, their methods are far from humane and democratic. They are not limited to condemning religious minorities - their targets are any groups that do not fit into their narrow vision of "norms."

Such actions undermine the foundations of democracy by violating the human rights proclaimed in the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In particular, they violate the following articles:

Article 1: All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.

Article 2: Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind.

Article 7: All are equal before the law and are entitled without any discrimination to equal protection of the law.

Article 11: Everyone charged with a penal offense has the right to be presumed innocent until proved guilty according to law.

Article 12: No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence.

Article 18: Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion.

Article 19: Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression.

Article 20: Everyone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association.

Anti-cult groups seek to deprive people of the right to free choice, to participate in communities that are close to them. Their actions inflict immense damage on society, tearing apart social bonds and sowing fear and hatred.

Any one of us could become a victim of anti-cult groups. It is important to be aware of their methods, to be vigilant, and to not be afraid to defend our rights. We can and should openly and honestly confront their aggression by providing the public with the facts of their disinformation activities. This simple method allows humanity to shed light on their dark deeds. In the full light of day, they will not be able to commit their lawlessness against people. Here's a simple way to confront the shadow side. 

That's why it is vital for every individual to engage in the process of examining the activities of anti-cult groups to preserve freedom, equality, and democratic values around the world.
