In the ongoing invasion of Ukraine by Russia, the major
media are carrying on one-sided coverage 24/7.
The medley of publicity makes the gleaning of the correct
situation difficult.
Here are the factual aspects:
Russia led by Putin fears the assimilation of Ukraine
into NATO and considers the Ukrainian leadership totally
alienated from Russia.
The Russian military saw a quick victory in Ukraine and
was taken aback by Ukrainian resistance.
The Ukrainian leader, Zelenski, is the top supporter of
Israel and himself a hard core Zionist Jew. NATO cannot see
him collapsing and humiliated.
All of Europe and USA and Canada have come out in total
support of Ukraine's leader.
NATO cannot take the risk of military conflict with
Russia , so it has taken the next possible
Methodology:
Sanctions
Massive funding of Ukraine's forces.
Lethal weaponry on a large scale, particularly from
Germany, which gives Germany the opportunity to rebuild its
military.
Russia's tactics are a larger duplication of what it was
doing in Syria:
Long range artillery and missile attacks.
Terrorizing the population into frantic flight
Sending tanks into areas and towns which have been
softened up
The Qur'an has promised victory to the Muslims . Chapter 30
of the Qur'an proclaims that the conflict of Christians and
pagans will lead to the victory of Islam after the two sides
have pummeled each other.
Some ancillary issues have come up. Ukraine has complained
that a Russian bomb hit the site of a ravine known as Babi
Yar where the Germans allegedly killed 33,000 people during
the holocaust. German scholar and researcher Germar Rudolf
has totally negated the Babi Yar allegations as part of his
600 page book on the holocaust.
Also, Ukraine claimed that Russia bombed a nuclear power
plant which could have been a major disaster for all of
Europe. After much to and fro, CNN admitted that the nuclear
station had not been hit: it is safe and radiation has not
leaked.
Chechen Muslim fighters are doing the heavy fighting against
Zelenski's pro-Israel forces.
One benefit for Muslims could be that if the war continues,
Russia might have to withdraw from Syria.
Racism in Ukraine [With thanks to Sis. Kristi, Br Ali
Randall & others.]
Black immigrants have reported experiencing racism and being
stopped from fleeing to safety as Russia continues its
assault against Ukraine.
More than 1,000,000 refugees have fled from Ukraine into
neighboring countries since Russian invaded its neighbor
last week.
But African students trapped in the country have taken to
social media to document the hurdles and hostility they have
faced while trying to flee, raising awareness for their
plight using the hashtag #AfricansInUkraine on Twitter.

Goats for Widows :
The goats give birth to one or two goats every year. The new
born starts producing in two years time. Thus these multiply
very rapidly and are beneficial to the economic well being
of the very poor segment of society where these can be kept
and looked after. In hilly areas where there are vast
opportunity to graze the goats it has proved to be very
successful. Apart from getting pure milk for the family
these fetch them handsome money. The idea came to me when on
a tour of these areas I was told by a man that he started
with 2 goats 10 years back now has 25 goats and has already
sold out 12 male goats during this time to meet his other
expenses.
Each goat gives 2 or 3 kids every year and the new born
start producing after two years. Thus rearing of goats is
very economical and profitable where there is abundant free
fodder like in jungles.
Rozgar Scheme through Goats.
In first phase 655 widows were given one goat each
In second phase we gave 4 goats to 82 families in Thar
Desert areas and three goats to 12 families in KPK.
27 families were given 2 goats each in next phase.
In 29 more families were given 2 goats with 2 child goats in
Thar Desert areas during 2020
25 more widows were given one goat plus a child goat in
North in 2020.

Asteroid
[scisketch.com] ] via Sis. Kristi]
For a few tense days this January, a roughly 70-meter
asteroid became the riskiest observed in over a decade.
Despite the Moon's attempt to scupper observations, the
asteroid is now known to be entirely safe.
Initial observations of an asteroid dubbed '2022 AE1' showed
a potential Earth impact on July 4, 2023 - not enough time
to attempt deflection and large enough to do real damage to
a local area should it strike.
Worryingly, the chance of impact appeared to increase based
on the first seven days of observations, followed by a
dramatic week 'in the dark' as the full Moon outshone the
potential impactor, ruling out further observations. As the
Moon moved aside, the skies dimmed and ESA's Near-Earth
Object Coordination Centre (NEOCC) took another look, only
to find the chance of impact was dramatically falling.
It has since been confirmed that 2022 AE1 will not impact
Earth and has been removed from ESA's risk list. So, what's
the story

Abu Zubayda was Tortured 83 times but ......
The United States Supreme Court has ruled that two former
CIA contractors cannot be questioned in a criminal
investigation in Poland over their role in interrogating Abu
Zubaydah, a suspected high-ranking al-Qaeda figure who was
repeatedly subjected to waterboarding.
The justices on Thursday ruled 6-3 that Central Intelligence
Agency contractors James Elmer Mitchell and John Bruce
Jessen cannot be subpoenaed under a US law that lets federal
courts enforce a request for testimony or other evidence for
a foreign legal proceeding.
The court found that the government could assert what is
called the "state-secrets privilege" to prevent the
contractors from being questioned because it would
jeopardize national security.
Poland is believed to be the location of a "black site"
where the CIA used harsh interrogation techniques against
Zubaydah. Zubaydah, now 50, has spent more than 15 years at
the US jail at Guantanamo Bay. He lost an eye and underwent
waterboarding 83 times in a single month while held by the
CIA, US government documents showed.

We Stand with Uighur Muslims
[Ref Human Rights Watch]
A leading Human Rights Watch (HRW) officer for China has today branded the International Olympic Committee (IOC) "absurd" after the organisation's spokesman Mark Adams failed to challenge Beijing 2022 official Yan Jiarong when she spoke out about the "One China Policy" and insisted that reports of crimes against the Uyghur and other Turkic communities were "lies".
Yan had insisted at the daily press briefing between Beijing 2022 and the IOC yesterday that the Chinese Government "were opposed to the politicisation of the Olympics".
"The IOC comes out looking absurd pathetic and denialist," HRW China director Sophie Richardson said.
"Yesterday's press conference told us everything we needed to know,"
HRW condemned the IOC and corporate sponsors for not speaking out about the Chinese Government's human rights record or using their influence to ask for improvements.
"Through their silence, the IOC and its corporate partners have been complicit in Beijing's efforts to 'sportswash' human rights violations before a global audience," the HRW said.
IOC President Thomas Bach claimed today they had dealt with the issue.
"This problem we did not ignore," he said.
"We were immediately in touch with Beijing 2022 after this press conference.
"We restated our commitment to remain political neutral under the Olympic Charter."

Israel Attacks Gaza Fishermen
[Courtesy The New Arab]
Israel's naval forces on Sunday opened fire on the Gazan fishermen who were sailing off the coast of Rafah, in the south of the besieged coastal enclave, Palestinian sources have said.
Israeli navy fired live bullets and water cannons towards Palestinian fishermen, preventing them from fishing and forcing them to return to the shore, sources told The New Arab.
Zakaria Baker, an official from the fishers' committees in the Union of Agricultural Work Committees in the Gaza Strip, told The New Arab that Israeli forces continue to provoke Palestinian fishermen by ongoing attacks.
"Everyday, the fishermen have to deal with a challenge while in the sea. Israeli forces used to arrest them, damage their boats and shoot at them," he said.
These measures hindered the work of fishermen and prevented them from fishing freely to provide for their families.
From time to time, Israeli forces stationed in the eastern fence of the coastal enclave open fires towards the Palestinian farmers to prevent them from reaching their lands.
