Sri Lanka Is What Happens When Countries Fail to Realize Green Policies Don't Work
THEFEDERALIST.COM -- [ISMAILI DIGEST ED: Hazar Imam, 2002: "I mean, we're talking about very basic issues. Think of the food, the food rebellions that you had when the IMF amongst others said you've got to correct your economy. People couldn't buy their food. You know, how can you expect young people not to react? That is so basic to human rights."] ARTICLE: In Sri Lanka, the 2021 inflation surge became a full-scale economic crisis thanks to climate radicalism. Fooled by European Green Deal propaganda to reduce nitrogen emissions, the government implemented a ban on chemical fertilizers, even though 15 of its 22 million people rely on farming, and over 90% them use chemical fertilizers. After the ban, one-third of farmland lay dormant, and 85% of farmers faced crop losses of 50% to 60%. Rice production fell by 20% and prices jumped 50% in just six months. Worst yet, the fertilizer ban hit the tea industry, Sri Lanka's second-highest export. These exports paid for 71% of the country's food imports. After the ban, the tea industry crashed to a 23-year low. Even the European Union, is noticing the Green Deal isn't a good one. Earlier ...

Dutch Farmers Protest Climate Mandates That Would Cut Livestock by 30%
THEEPOCHTIMES.COM -- The Netherlands is world's 5th largest food exporter. However, its government has proposed slashing livestock numbers by 30% to meet Climate Change nitrogen emissions targets. Some parts of the country would have to slash emissions by 70% or even 95%. New Zealand reported "The [Dutch] Minister of Nature and Nitrogen Policy expects about a third of the 50,000 Dutch farms to 'disappear' by 2030." While the United States openly acknowledges that "there is not a future for all [Dutch] farmers within [this] approach." Sri Lanka's ban on chemical fertilizers, to also reduce nitrogen emissions, contributed to an economic crisis that has now destabilized the government. The UN Secretary-General warned on June 24 that "there is a real risk that multiple famines will be declared in 2022," adding that ...

Zelensky, 2022, Stalin 1942: the US propaganda machine can easily make heroes and also quickly change the script
RT.COM -- [ISMAILI DIGEST ED: While we normally do not post on political matters, we are posting on the situation in Ukraine because it is an invaluable case study about Big Tech and Western media. Hazar Imam, 2006: "Journalists transmit superficial rhetoric and slight underlying realities."] ARTICLE: America's sudden love affair with Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky is reminiscent of the West's 1940s campaign to beautify Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin's image. Just 5 years after the Great Purge, when Stalin killed about a million people, Collier's magazine claimed the USSR was evolving "toward something resembling our own and Great Britain's democracy." The New York Times agreed. Similarly today, Zelensky and his army are portrayed as heroic, freedom fighters. However, in 2018, before Russia's military offensive, Reuters pointed out that Ukrainian volunteer militias use Nazi symbolism and recruit Hitler acolytes. Today Ukraine's fascist elements are whitewashed. The fact is Ukraine incorporated neo-nazi militias, including the Azov Battalion, into its National Guard after the country's democratically elected leadership was overthrown in a US-backed coup in 2014. And, once World War II ended, ...

Sufism and Persian Poetry -- BoAI Vol #3
GOOGLE.COM -- Persian mystical poetry may be described as a harmony of religion, philosophy, and art constituting the deepest and finest expression of the Persian spirit in its outlook upon life or, in other words, as a synthesis of thought, feeling, and imagination which appeals to the entirety of human nature. That is why, though seen only in the dim glass of translation, it casts a spell over men like Hegel, Goethe, and Emerson. Pioneering Sufi poets turned to a native and familiar form of verse -- the "rub'ai" or quatrain. Unlike the "ghazals" and , "qasidas" of contemporary court poetry, which imitate Arabic models and are seldom free from artificiality, the "ruba'i" made no pretensions to learning and could readily be adapted to express mystical thought ...
