Swedish Newspaper Publishes Image of Criminal Suspect That’s Just a Pixilated Blur

<p><strong>A man who was radicalized by inaccurate media propaganda concerning a supposed wave of hate crimes targeting Asians blamed on white supremacy tried to take revenge by sexually assaulting a woman at gunpoint because he presumed she was white.</strong></p> <p>37-year-old Michael Sangbong Rhee was arrested by police in Lake Forest, California after he allegedly attacked a woman, who turned out to be Asian, “in retaliation for the rise in hate crimes against Asian people.”</p> <p>“Irvine police say an Asian woman was sitting in the driver’s seat of her car near her apartment Thursday afternoon when she looked up to see Rhee standing at the door, holding a handgun. She told police she did not recognize Rhee, who ordered her to get into the back of her car if she wanted to live,” reports <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/police-michael-rhee-of-lake-forest-attacked-asian-woman-believing-she-was-white-in-retaliation-for-rise-in-hate-crimes/ar-BB1fzMLX">CBS Los Angeles</a>.</p> <p>“The woman said she offered Rhee her wallet and money, and he replied they would “do that later,” before getting into her car through the passenger side door and pushed her into the backseat, according to police. She struggled with Rhee, who she told police began to grope her, then yelled to a maintenance worker nearby that he had a gun.”</p> <p>[embedded content]</p> <p>“Detectives believe Rhee — who is Korean — targeted the woman because he thought she was white, based on his own statements, and that the assault was in retaliation for hate crimes that have skyrocketed against Asian people.”</p> <p>Over the past few months, the media has tried to contrive a narrative that white people are responsible for a rise in hate crime attacks against Asian-Americans.</p> <p>In reality, figures show white people are underrepresented per capita in attacks against Asians.</p> <p>As the Washington Examiner <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/anti-asian-violence-cant-be-blamed-on-trump-supporters">highlights</a>, citing FBI statistics, whereas whites comprise 62% of the population, they committed 24% of crimes against Asians in 2018.</p> <p>In comparison, blacks, who comprise 13% of the population, committed 27.5% of all violent crimes against Asian Americans in 2018.</p> <p>In addition, out of a spate of recent high profile hate crime attacks on Asians, <a href="https://summit.news/2021/03/31/anti-trump-doctor-blames-hate-crimes-committed-by-blacks-against-asians-on-white-people/">virtually all the culprits</a> are black males.</p> <p>The victim attacked by Rhee was lucky she wasn’t seriously hurt.</p> <p>Hopefully the media will stop putting lives at risk by publishing fake news about Asian hate crimes, which now appears to be radicalizing violent racist criminals.</p> <p><strong>SUBSCRIBE on YouTube:</strong></p> <p>Follow on Twitter: <a class="twitter-follow-button" data-show-count="false" href="https://twitter.com/PrisonPlanet">Follow @PrisonPlanet</a></p> <p>———————————————————————————————————————</p> <p>Brand <strong>new merch</strong> now available!

Boris Johnson Refused to Close Borders to Stop COVID Because He Thought it Would be “Racist”

<p><strong>President Trump‘s former national security advisor Michael Flynn commented on the renewed focus on the theory that the coronavirus came from a lab in Wuhan, saying that he believes it was a ‘weaponised operation’.</strong></p> <p>“We’ve had over a year of people all over the world having to answer tough questions,” Flynn said during an interview on 1320 AM WJAS.</p> <p>The three star general continued “The people in this country are demanding answers.

They work hard every day to protect some of the world's most vulnerable, while facing the dual threats of violence and a global pandemic," Mr Guterres said during the virtual ceremony.</p> <p>The UN chief said despite COVID-19, across all UN missions, peacekeepers have not only been adapting to continue to deliver their core tasks, they are also assisting national and community efforts to fight the virus.</p> <p>"I am proud of the work they have done," he said, adding that the fallen UN peacekeepers - uniformed and civilian - lost their lives due to malicious acts, in accidents and as a result of illness, including COVID-19.</p> <p>The fallen peacekeepers came from 44 different countries and diverse backgrounds but were united by a common purpose: "to serve our great Organisation, promote peace and security and improve the lives of some of the world's most vulnerable people. We are forever in their debt," Mr Guterres said.</p> <p>The Secretary-General also awarded the '2020 Military Gender Advocate of the Year Award' to Major Steplyne Buyaki Nyaboga, a Kenyan military officer who served with the African Union - United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur, (UNAMID).</p> <p>Created in 2016, the Award "recognises the dedication and effort of an individual peacekeeper in promoting the principles of UN Security Resolution 1325 on women, peace and security."</p> <p>Jean-Pierre Lacroix, Under-Secretary-General for Peace Operations, saluted the dedication and bravery of UN peacekeepers, who serve and perform admirably in challenging environments only compounded by the ongoing pandemic.</p> <p>"I also honour our young peacekeepers who bring energy and innovation, and serve as role models to youth populations working tirelessly to ensure meaningful representation and participation in political processes," he said.</p> <p>Mr Lacroix said UN peacekeepers deserve "our full support" and "we must continue to work together to do all we can to improve their safety and security and give them the tools to succeed."</p> <p>The International Day of United Nations Peacekeepers was established by the General Assembly in 2002, to pay tribute to all men and women serving in peacekeeping, and to honour the memory of those who have lost their lives in the cause of peace.</p> <p>The General Assembly designated May 29 as the International Day of UN Peacekeepers in commemoration of the day in 1948 when the UN's first peacekeeping mission, the UN Truce Supervision Organisation (UNTSO), began operations in Palestine.</p> <p>Since then, more than one million women and men have served in 72 UN peacekeeping operations, directly impacting millions of people, and saving countless lives. Today, UN Peacekeeping deploys more than 89,000 military, police and civilian personnel in 12 operations.</p> <br /> <br /> source <a href="https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/united-nations-honours-3-indian-peacekeepers-posthumously-for-sacrifice-in-line-of-duty-2450736">https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/united-nations-honours-3-indian-peacekeepers-posthumously-for-sacrifice-in-line-of-duty-2450736</a>

However, the Chinese Foreign Ministry has in recent weeks stepped up attacks on the four-nation alliance, terming it as an exclusive clique portraying China as a challenge and sowing discord between Beijing and regional countries.</p> <p>Senior Colonel Tan, while claiming that China always holds that no strategy should go against the historical trend of peace and development, or deliberately hype up conflict and confrontation, said that intensifying military presence and highlighting military competition will only aggravate regional tensions and endanger world peace and stability.</p> <p>"No strategy should harm the welfare of people in regional countries, or put them in a dangerous situation. Seeking one's own selfish interests and unilateral absolute security will only do harm to others and lose their support," he was quoted as saying by the Chinese military online.</p> <p>Referring to the reported comments by a US defence department official that the US government intends to put in place more defence hotlines with China to manage security risks and prevent potential conflicts, the Chinese defence ministry spokesperson said that for a long time, the Chinese and American militaries have always maintained communication through multiple channels, including the direct line between the two defence ministries.</p> <p>"We believe that its purpose is to enhance trust, reduce misgivings, manage crises, and prevent conflicts. The US side should not, on the one hand, claim to put up new defence hotlines, while on the other hand keep ramping up military deployments in the Asian Pacific region, frequently conduct close-in reconnaissance on China, and even deliberately initiate dangerous circumstances where aircraft and vessels nearly collide," he said.</p> <p>He said that China advises the US side to keep their words and match their deeds accordingly, display sincerity, work with the Chinese side toward the same goal, and push forward the healthy and stable development of mil-to-mil relations by intensifying dialogue and communication and properly managing divergences.</p> <p>China and the US are currently at loggerheads over a host of issues as the Biden administration continued the tough policy to contain China initiated by Trump, targeting Beijing on Xinjiang, Hong Kong and Taiwan.</p> <p>Biden beefed-up the US-China policy by uniting US allies like the UK, the EU and Japan. He also hosted the first quadrilateral summit of the emerging alliance called Quad in March which included the US, Australia, Japan and India.</p> <p><i>(Except for the headline, this story has not been edited by NDTV staff and is published from a syndicated feed.)</i></p> <br /> <br /> source <a href="https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/us-indo-pacific-strategy-will-lead-to-division-chaos-in-area-china-2450645">https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/us-indo-pacific-strategy-will-lead-to-division-chaos-in-area-china-2450645</a>
