Much focus today on the grooming gangs in the UK but it's also the 9th anniversary of the attempted cover-up of the 2015/2016 NYE Mass-Sexual Assaults in Cologne.
1200 women were sexually assaulted, raped or robbed in front of the Cologne Cathedral by nearly 2000 migrants 🧵
The attacks mainly took place in Cologne, but hundreds of women were also assaulted in Hamburg, Düsseldorf & Frankfurt.
The German internet new what had happened on January 1st but mainstream media remained silent to January 4th.
Germany took in 1M migrants in 2015
(2/?)
Have you heard about “Taharrush Gamea (collective harassment in Arabic)?
By creating fake crowds, men cooperate to sexually abuse women. It became worldwide news during the Arab Spring protests in Egypt (2011) & NYE in Cologne in 2015. This video is from Pakistan.
His supporters call him "the most compassionate leader in modern U.S. history" while his opponents call him "the weakest president ever"
The Islamic Revolution in Iran took place on his watch.
Here’s the legacy he left behind 🧵
1. The Peace Deal:
A year before the Islamic Revolution in Iran, Carter secured his biggest success - bringing Egypt and Israel to the table for the 1978 Camp David Accords.
It was the first peace agreement between the two nations in history.
2. New focus on human rights:
Carter placed human rights at the center of U.S. foreign policy and put pressure on the Soviet Union for its treatment of dissidents.
However, his critics called him naive and argued that he didn't manage to make a lasting impact on human rights
30 Years of Qatar’s Links to Terrorist Financing and Support.
Qatar has been tied to hosting and supporting some of the world’s most notorious terror groups for three decades.
From Hamas to Al-Qaeda, here’s a deep dive into their terror connections🧵
1. Hamas:
Aside from financing, Qatar has hosted Hamas leaders like Khaled Mashal & Ismail Haniyeh.
• Since 2007: Qatar has provided financial aid to Gaza governed by Hamas, under the pretext of humanitarian assistance. This aid includes money for infrastructure, salaries for government employees, and fuel for electricity.
• Post-2012: After Hamas’s relocation to Qatar after a fallout with Assad, the country emerged as one of its most vocal backers, offering tens of millions of dollars in funding annually.
• Direct Payments: Qatar has facilitated cash transfers to Gaza for salaries and public services, often with the approval of international intermediaries to avoid accusations of directly funding terrorism.
Humanitarian aid or funding terror?
2. The Taliban:
• In 2013, the Taliban opened their political office in Doha with help of Qatar. This office gave the Taliban a global platform and helped the negotiating with the 2020 Doha Agreement between the Taliban and the U.S.
• Qatar allegedly provided some financial assistance to the Taliban, these funds were framed as part of humanitarian aid efforts.
• The Taliban received living arrangements and logistical support for its representatives in Doha.
Sheikha Moza bint Nasser, mother of Qatar’s Emir, is often celebrated as the most elegant woman in Global politics.
However, beneath this polished image lies a series of controversies involving alleged tax evasion and associations with terrorists.
Let’s take a deep dive : 🧵
Sheikha Moza has leveraged Al Jazeera as a tool to protect Qatar’s image and promote her vision of the country as a modern, progressive state, while deflecting criticism. Here’s how it works:
Selective Criticism: Under Sheikha Moza’s influence, Al Jazeera focuses on exposing corruption and abuses in rival states like Saudi Arabia and Egypt, but avoids reporting on Qatar’s own human rights violations.
Controlled Narrative: Al Jazeera operates as a state-controlled entity, ensuring that no criticism of Qatar’s regime, including Sheikha Moza’s policies and initiatives, makes it to air.
Soft Power Expansion: Through platforms like Al Jazeera English, Sheikha Moza positions Qatar as a forward-thinking global leader, masking internal issues while aligning with Qatar’s geopolitical goals.
Controversies: Al Jazeera has been accused of promoting Islamist groups like the Muslim Brotherhood and using biased reporting to destabilize Qatar’s rivals.
2. Sheikha Moza’s Humanitarian Image vs. London’s Most Extravagant Family Home
In 2013, Sheikha Moza’s family acquired two of London’s most expensive properties 1 and 2-3 Cornwall Terrace, for a staggering £120 million. These Grade I listed buildings, dating back to the 1820s, are among the world’s priciest homes.
The properties feature unmatched luxury:
1 Cornwall Terrace: 7 bedrooms, 11 reception rooms, 9 bathrooms, a private gym, and a state-of-the-art garage with number-plate recognition for two limousines.
2-3 Cornwall Terrace: Converted into a single residence with 6 bedrooms.
Plans were made to merge the properties into a 17-bedroom super-mansion, including 14 lounges, a cinema, a juice bar, and a swimming pool. While initial planning permission was denied in 2015 due to housing shortages, a revised application was approved in 2020.
How does such opulence align with her advocacy for global equality and support for marginalized communities?
How Al Jazeera Undermines Western Media While Shielding Qatar.
Al Jazeera is no stranger to stirring up a manipulative narrative to help the Qatari royals promote their influence and destabilise the West.
Here’s a deeper dive into its tactics in 15 detailed points:
🧵
1. Double Standards
Al Jazeera pushes conflicting messages based on its audience:
•AJ English: Campaigns like “Gays for Palestine” or “Homophobia: Africa’s blind spot”, aligning with progressive causes.
•AJ Arabia: Pride badges were banned during the FIFA World Cup, and homosexuality is illegal, with severe penalties in Qatar.
This dual narrative exploits Western ideals while preserving Qatar’s regressive policies.
2. Funding Biased Journalism:
Until October 2024, Al Jazeera sponsored journalism scholarships at Northwestern University. Their education often aligned with Qatar’s political goals. By funding programs in the US, Qatar indoctrinated future journalists under its influence.
The Northwestern University has since ended their partnership due to Al Jazeera’s ties with Hamas.
