Victory to Ram?

Muslim Violence All Over India as Ram Temple Is Inaugurated-And guess who the media blames
Frontpagemag | January 25, 2024 | Ashlyn Davis

Though the Hindus are the majority in India, they are often victims of Islamic fanaticism and bigotry.

“Jai Shri Ram” is a famous Hindi slogan that translates to “Victory to Ram.” Ram is one of the most widely worshipped Hindi deities. Before the major Ram Temple inauguration in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, the slogan gained monumental popularity among the younger generation. This student may have been chanting the slogan out of his uncontained excitement, as there were just a couple of days left before the inauguration.

When Mohammad Abdul Wahid heard the “Jai Shri Ram” chants coming from the classroom, he rushed to check who was chanting the religious slogan, and started to beat the student brutally.

The victim, a minor, went home crying and recounted the incident to his family members; locals and members of Hindu organizations were also gradually brought in.

A gathering of people reached the Budhar police station and demanded action against the teacher. The police lodged a case against Mohammad Abdul Wahid and the director of Green Bells School under various relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code, including 34, 153, 323, and 500 and section 82 of the Juvenile Justice Act.

“An incident of assault has come to light wherein a student was beaten for chanting Jai Shri Ram in school. A case has been registered against the accused teacher and school operator. Further investigation in this case is going on,” said police station house officer Sanjeev Jaiswal. The police have since arrested Wahid, but people are demanding that the license of the school be cancelled.

On Sunday, January 21, just a day before the grand inauguration of the temple, a Muslim mob in the Mehsana district of Gujarat attacked a Hindu procession dedicated to Lord Ram and the event of the inauguration. The incident occurred in Kheralu town; police sources stated that the stone-throwing began when the procession passed through the Hatadiya area in Belim Vas, which is a Muslim neighborhood. As per reports, members of Hindu organizations observed that the attack started in earnest when the procession reached a mosque. Videos of the mayhem reveal that Muslims, including women, threw stones at the Hindu procession from rooftops. The police have since rounded up 15 individuals and restored peace in the area.

This did not happen only in Gujarat. Muslim mobs, used to the infinite impunity granted to them by the previous “secular” governments, began starting brawls all over the country, with no regard for law and order. X users on Sunday night posted videos of violent rampages similar to the one in Gujarat from Mumbai’s Mira road as well. A popular X handle, The Squindclaimed that a group of 200 Muslims attacked a Hindu procession dedicated to the inauguration and even attacked women. He suggested that it could have been a pre-planned terror attack. Renowned political Abhijit Iyer Mitra confirmed that rioting had started. Asianet News reports that rioters attacked the vehicles of a Hindu procession with stones and hammers, injuring several Ram devotees.

Again, on January 21, the Bihar Police arrested a 21-year-old Muslim youth, Intekhab Alam, for threatening to “blow up” the Ram Mandir on January 22. Thousands of VVIPs and devotees of Ram were scheduled to attend the ceremony.

Ashok Kumar Singh, Superintendent of Police, Araria, also confirmed this: “The man had on January 19 dialled 112, the number on which citizens can seek emergency help. He claimed his name was Chhota Shakeel and that he was a close aide of Dawood Ibrahim.” Bihar police have detained Alam and seized his phone registered in his father’s name.

Meanwhile, there have been numerous reports over the last few years of a “Muslim being beaten or harassed and forced to chant Jai Shri Ram” in India. All these stories were covered widely by the media, only to be proven fake. They were intended to malign the Hindu community and the Narendra Modi government in India. The reality couldn’t be farther from these cooked-up narratives.

Humans. Hilarious.

Federal Appeals Court Slams FBI’s Actions In Security Deposit Box Raid
Institute for Justice | January 23, 2024 | Andrew Wimer ·

Ninth Circuit panel unanimously orders FBI to destroy records it created during searches of US Private Vaults boxes

PASADENA, Calif.—This morning, a 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel unanimously ruled against the government in a long-running class action lawsuit from the Institute for Justice (IJ) on behalf of people who rented security deposit boxes at US Private Vaults. The decision slammed the FBI for overstepping its authority when it opened up hundreds of renters’ boxes, conducted criminal searches of them all, and attempted to permanently keep everything in the boxes worth more than $5,000, all without charging any box renter with a crime.

“Today’s opinion draws a line in the sand, to ensure something like this never happens again,” said IJ Senior Attorney Rob Johnson. “If this had come out the other way, the government could have exported this raid as a model across the country. Now, the government is on notice its actions violated the Fourth Amendment.”

Judge Milan D. Smith, writing for the court, likened the FBI’s actions to the abuses that motivated the Bill of Rights: “[T]he government failed to explain why applying the inventory exception to this case would not open the door to the kinds of ‘writs of assistance’ the British authorities used prior to the Founding to conduct limitless searches of an individual’s personal belongings. It was those very abuses of power, after all, that led to adoption of the Fourth Amendment in the first place.”

“We knew that what the FBI did to us and so many others was wrong and today’s decision is a validation,” said Jennifer Snitko. “It took courage for Paul and I to be among the first people to stand up publicly and call out the government but we are proud to have fought for our rights. This is a good day for our country and the principle that the government’s power to search our property has limits.”

For years, the FBI and Department of Justice (DOJ) insisted that they did nothing wrong at US Private Vaults. Even though the warrant authorizing the raid only permitted the FBI to open boxes to identify their owners and safeguard the contents, agents rummaged through hundreds of boxes, ran currency they found in front of drug sniffing dogs, and made copies of people’s most personal records. The DOJ then filed a massive administrative forfeiture claim to take more than $100 million in cash and other valuables, again, without charging any individual with a crime.

“The government promised the magistrate that it would not conduct a criminal search or seizure of the boxes,” said IJ Senior Attorney Robert Frommer. “After years of litigation, today’s opinion shows that not to be true. The government lied to justify its forfeiture scheme, and in the end the lie was its undoing.”

Bill To Require Speed Limiters in California Cars Introduced in Senate
California Globe | January 24, 2024 | Evan Symon

A bill to require all cars sold or made in California after 2027 to have devices limiting their top speed to only ten miles per hour above the speed limit was introduced in the Senate on Wednesday.

Senate Bill 961, authored by Senator Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco), would specifically require certain vehicles, commencing with the 2027 model year, to be equipped with an intelligent speed limiter that would limit the speed of the vehicle to 10 miles per hour over the speed limit. The bill would exempt emergency vehicles from this requirement and would authorize the Commissioner of the California Highway Patrol to authorize the disabling of the system on other vehicles.

A man’s got to know his limitations. And who’s imposing them.
