Strong 7.7-magnitude earthquake strikes Myanmar, with tremors felt in neighbouring Thailand

An earthquake of magnitude 7.7 has struck Myanmar, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) said, causing hundreds of people to pour out of swaying buildings in Bangkok, the capital of neighbouring Thailand 1,400km away.

USGS said the quake on Friday was shallow, at a depth of just 10km (six miles) with the epicentre near the central city of Mandalay, about 50km (30 miles) east of the city of Monywa.

‘They call us extremists. We just want to be prepared for catastrophe’

The Times was given rare access to observe the training of the Virginia Kekoas, a citizen militia that wants to ‘protect its community from the far-left’

It is late afternoon deep in the woods of rural Virginia, and Rustpit is getting annoyed. The former Marine is trying to school his fellow militiamen in cover and concealment on a shooting course built among the trees.

It has been a long day of firearms training and the men are distracted, poking at defective weapons and debating what meat to throw on the fire for dinner later.

To keep them on their toes, Rustpit, a 46-year-old business owner, has set up a tripwire. He watches as it is detonated by his lanky comrade-in-arms Sheepdog, distracting some members who are trying to blow up a container of explosive powder nearby.

Euros for Russia’s next invasion – From Paris to Berlin, actions don’t match the grandiose verbiage.

Europe’s hypocrisy is on full display today.

As leaders meet in Paris to plan the continent’s defence, several European countries are sending wads of cash to the belligerent Kremlin in exchange for convenient oil and gas.

Think-tank Ember has found that the EU put €21.9 billion into Russian coffers in 2024, with gas imports up 18% on the previous year. EU support for Ukraine in 2024 was €18.7 billion.

Hungary and Slovakia, the usual suspects, bear heavy responsibility for the stark figures. But also unable to turn off the Russian gas tap is France – who today hosts 31 European leaders to develop plans to counter the Russian security threat.

So Much Winning! Yale professor who studies fascism fleeing US to blight Canada for a change

A Yale professor who studies fascism is leaving the US to work at a Canadian university because of the current US political climate, which he worries is putting the US at risk of becoming a “fascist dictatorship”.

Jason Stanley, who wrote the 2018 book How Fascism Works: The Politics of Us and Them, has accepted a position at the University of Toronto’s Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy.

Stanley told the Daily Nous, a philosophy profession website, that he made the decision “to raise my kids in a country that is not tilting towards a fascist dictatorship”.

Lucky Us.

Pentagon ‘still mystified’ as drone drama deepens

Objects exhibiting advanced technology continue to fly with complete impunity over sensitive military installations and critical infrastructure. Despite the Pentagon’s advanced imaging and sensor capabilities, the nature, purpose and origin of these enigmatic craft are unknown, raising an array of pressing national security concerns.

In interviews with “60 Minutes” earlier this month, two recently retired four-star Air Force generals and the Air Force commander overseeing North American airspace defense begrudgingly admitted that the “drones” that loitered in dramatic fashion over key military assets in recent years remain a confounding mystery.

Okey Dokey.

These attacks on Teslas are psychotic

Over the past few weeks, anti-Trump activists have been attacking Tesla vehicles and dealerships in protest against Elon Musk, the Tesla CEO who is now heading up Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency.

No doubt those attacking Musk and Tesla see themselves as brave, left-wing warriors striking a blow against American oligarchy. Some of those involved even refer to themselves as a ‘peaceful grassroots movement’, despite being about as peaceful as a riot. Attackers are smashing up people’s cars, throwing Molotov cocktails at charging stations and staging takeovers of showrooms.

Giving Muslim Extremists a Pass Is Reflected in Canada’s New Guide to ‘Islamophobia’

Beware attempts to blur the line between valid criticism of political Islamism and anti-Muslim discrimination.

A growing danger among Western liberals is the failure to distinguish between the radical Islamist minority and the majority of Muslims. Feature the Canadian government’s new “Guide to Understanding and Combatting Islamophobia.”

The guide’s imprecise definition of “Islamophobia” blurs the line between genuine anti-Muslim discrimination and valid criticism of political Islamism. By failing to make this distinction, the guide shields extremist agendas from scrutiny and empowers those who seek to silence moderate Muslim voices.

EU urges every household to stock three-day crisis survival kit

No weapon to protect a body from the mutant horde?

Every home in Europe should have a three-day crisis survival kit, including bottled water, canned food, a torch and supplies of toilet paper, the European Union has said.

As well as stockpiling, citizens across Europe are being told to draw up a “household emergency plan” of how to get through the first 72 hours of a crisis, “including the possibility of armed aggression against member states”.

Meanwhile in the USA …

England could become an Islamist state with nuclear weapons

The English government has just appointed the new head of Ofsted, the body that inspects public schools. His name is Hamid Patel and he is a mufti.

And then they say that “Islamization does not exist”.

Patel was the headmaster of a school in Blackpool, the first in the country to ask pupils to wear the hijab outside of school, to “recite the Koran at least once a week” and to “not carry stationery containing non-Islamic images”. And while he was at it, Patel also invited a Saudi imam to speak badly of Jews, which never hurts.

A sort of emirate in Lancashire.

REVEALED: Carney’s involvement with elite cabal under scrutiny — fear grows over globalist connections

Prime Minister Mark Carney is facing renewed questions over his past role with the Bilderberg Group, a secretive annual meeting of global elites that has long sparked theories about hidden agendas controlling world events.

Carney, who joined the Bilderberg Meetings’ steering committee in 2011, attended sessions with figures like Henry Kissinger and Jared Kushner, including the 2019 gathering in Montreux, Switzerland.

Michael Higgins: Mark Carney has no idea how to respond to Donald Trump

Canada is in danger of replacing one prince with another.

Justin Trudeau did not think the rules applied to him and it took more than nine years for Canada to come to terms with that glaring truth. Now Liberal Leader Mark Carney is going down the same road.

Carney is in need of a safe seat to run in and, as if by magic, one has just opened up in Ottawa Nepean.

The pro-Trump radio host banned from Britain for ‘inciting Right-wing violence’

Under no circumstances, Jacqui Smith said in 2009, would she reconsider the decision to ban Michael Savage from Britain.

The Labour home secretary was adamant: Mr Savage, a Right-wing radio “shock jock” with the second-most popular show in the United States, deserved his place on a list of 22 people permanently excluded from the country.

Having spoken in “violent terms” about gay people and discussed the killing of “100 million Muslims,” he was “seeking to provoke others to serious criminal acts”, Ms Smith told Parliament. The cantankerous broadcaster could incite “inter-community violence” if he crossed the Atlantic.

John Ivison: All knives are out to pop the Liberals’ popularity bubble

It’s doubtless better to peak early than not to peak at all, but we are in the early days of the general election and opinion polls are suggesting that Mark Carney’s Liberals are at levels of support not seen since Pierre Trudeau won with 45 per cent of the vote in 1968.

Leger is the latest polling company to have the Liberals in the mid-40s support, more than double the levels of just two months ago.

This should be the first Canadian election that focuses on migration

Mark Wiseman – Evil Bastard

A controversial appointment put migration in the headlines on the same weekend that Prime Minister Mark Carney announced a snap election.

The investment fund manager and former head of the Bank of Canada, who won the Liberal leadership contest two weeks ago, became the subject of news stories focusing on how he has chosen Mark Wiseman, an advocate for open borders, as a key adviser.
