Slaughter in Bangladesh and the International Cover-Up

On August 5, 2024, Bangladesh Sheikh Hasina was forced to flee the country and take refuge in India following a month-long anti-government movement led by Jamaat-e-Islami (JeI), ultra-Islamist Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), Hizb Ut Tahrir and other Islamist organizations in the country. It was earlier perceived by many that the Biden administration had been trying to topple Sheikh Hasina from power and install Muhammad Yunus as head of the government.

Muhammad Yunus is one of the major donors of Clinton Foundation, and according to a cable leaked by Wikileaks, back in 2007, Hillary Clinton made frantic bids and exerted pressure on Bangladesh Army to make her friend Yunus head of the then military-backed interim government.

The Usefulness of Haunting

Halloween may be a bulwark of tradition in the fight for Europe’s future.

Although the end of October is a long way away, the first Halloween items have crept into retail stores here in Southern California. Of course, what most Europeans see in Halloween is yet another American importation—and one of ghoulish or even Satanic orientation at that. One could hardly blame such a reaction, especially as this observance is preceded by a long list of other such, including (but not confined to) Black Friday, Santa Claus, KFC, McDonald’s, and on and on. Not being aware of either the slightly-terror-tinged-but-wholesome thing that Halloween was in my childhood, or of its Christian and Celtic roots, one can easily forgive the devout European for this conclusion. But the whole thing is rather more complex. It is not merely a question of Halloween, but of the whole body of weird lore that underlies Europe’s cultures—and in a sense may be a bulwark of tradition in the fight for her future. There is also the question of whether that lore is strictly fictional, or if it contains some unpleasant realities that are ignored only at one’s peril—even if one wields political power.

Sean Combs’s White Parties Were Edgy, A-List Affairs. Were They More?

In the 2000s, few events held the cultural cachet of the White Party thrown by Sean Combs — fetes in Beverly Hills, the Hamptons and other playgrounds of the rich, studded with famous names and fabulous tableaus.

At the 2009 party, Demi Moore made the scene with Lil’ Kim, dancers gyrated in giant plastic balloons alongside tottering stilt walkers, and Ashton Kutcher swung, Tarzan-like, across a swimming pool as models in white bikinis lounged beside it.

And at the center of it all was Mr. Combs, the billionaire hip-hop mogul also known as Puff Daddy and Diddy, invariably toasting the scene with a glass of Cîroc vodka, and welcoming comparisons of his revels to those of lore.

America’s Young Men Are Falling Even Further Behind

Men in their 20s and early 30s are much more likely than female peers to live with their parents, and many say they feel aimless and isolated

In Spanish, parents call it encaminado: making sure your children are on the path to an independent adulthood.

Out of Dan and Joana Moreno’s four grown kids, only their daughter is encaminada. She recently graduated from business school and got engaged. The Morenos’ three adult sons are still sleeping in their Miami childhood bedrooms. The younger two dropped out of college, and the oldest never went. All three are single. Their only work experience is with the family business.

“Something has gone amiss here,” says their father, Dan, who owns the repair chain Flamingo Appliance Service. “We love them, we love having them around, but that’s not how you build a life.”
The life trajectories of America’s sons and daughters are diverging.

Presented with a more-equal playing field, young women are seizing the opportunities in front of them, while young men are floundering. The phenomenon has developed over the past decade, but was supercharged by the pandemic, which derailed careers, schooling and isolated friends and families. The result has big implications for the economy.

It’s a mystery!

John Kerry at WEF Literally Calls For End of First Amendment Speech Rights

Viscerally repulsive Deep State goon John Kerry took a break from his main job of promoting Climate Change™ terror porn to another pet project of his and his ilk: decrying the right to free speech at, appropriately — you’ll be shocked to learn — the World Economic Forum.

Kerry is not a caricature he is diseased.

Far right wins Austria election, boosting European rightwing surge

VIENNA (Reuters) -Austrian voters handed a first ever general election victory to the far-right Freedom Party on Sunday, vote projections showed, illustrating rising support for hard-right parties in Europe fueled by concern over immigration levels.

The Eurosceptic, Russia-friendly FPO held a slim lead in opinion polls for months over Chancellor Karl Nehammer’s ruling conservative Austrian People’s Party (OVP) in a campaign dominated by immigration and worries about the economy.

Led by the 55-year-old Herbert Kickl, the FPO was projected to secure 29.1% of the vote, ahead of the OVP on 26.2%, and the centre-left Social Democrats on 20.4%, a projection by pollster Foresight for broadcaster ORF showed after polls closed.

How not to run a country: Government ineptitude and Canada’s economic malaise

In 2024 Canada has good news to share!

We now have a rapidly growing export industry, already considered to be one of the global top 10.

It is an industrial dream come true, consisting of selling advanced manufacturing goods to the Global South. Statistics are somewhat unreliable, but the annual revenues were above $1.5-billion in 2023 with 2024 promising to break that record.

There is only one problem with this new export – it consists of stolen cars.

Conrad Black: Civilization is winning the war on terror

Hamas support rally Toronto

Almost imperceptibly from Canada, the countries of the comparatively advanced world whose politics are more or less democratic, are edging back from their infatuation with the woke and racially atomized and extreme green, left. The shocking wave of antisemitism that freakishly arose after the barbarous assault of Hamas on Israel last October, has largely subsided. The campuses are quiet, the public is tired of having streets disrupted by ridiculous demonstrations proclaiming that the Jews have no right to be in the land of Israel, where they have been for more than 5,000 years, and the burdens of political correctness are becoming insufferable to the sensible majority of most western countries.

This seems a touch optimistic but I am curious about the turnouts on the upcoming anniversary of Oct 7.

I don’t bother going downtown where most of these demo’s take place but that’s due primarily to traffic and urban decay.

Missisaugastan is a place I avoid and Brampton may as well be in South Asia as far as I am concerned.

The crowds of the first Hamas support rallies in Canada may not be matched again but that doesn’t mean the Mohammedans and their useful idiot allies have had a change of heart.

Canadian GDP Has Never Contracted Like This Outside Of A Recession

Canada’s economic output is stronger than expected but far from impressive. Statistics Canada (Stat Can) real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew in July, following up a flat month. Any positive expectations are cooled by the details, revealing a few only-in-recession data points. That includes government stimulus in the form of public sector expansion being one of the few primary drivers of growth. Economic output is also significantly behind population growth, continuing the trend of per-capita GDP contractions that have never been this deep outside of a recession.

SOLWAY: The roots of what drove the Convoy can be found in Laurentian contempt for its ‘western colony’

The truckers’ protest in the winter of 2022 against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Covid-19 vaccine mandate not only continues to make headlines as the trials of prominent protesters drag on and verdicts are sporadically delivered, but the Freedom Convoy itself remains a touchstone in the ongoing debate about the country’s direction after a decade of increasingly left-wing Liberal government. The movement’s implications continue to resonate.

John Ivison: How Canada became the sick man of North America

Saturday mornings are not generally a good time to start reading essays on public policy that run the length of the average Ken Follett or James Michener novel.

But last week I started reviewing a thought piece by three British writers from the Works in Progress online magazine — Ben Southwood, Samuel Hughes and Sam Bowman — on what they called the defining task of their generation: ending the stagnation that has seen Britain fall behind the developed world in economic dynamism.

How long will the UN continue to dine with the devil?

Orwell is alive and fighting alongside us.

China has secured its sixth term as a member of the United Nations Human Rights Council, becoming one of the most elected countries on the council where 64 percent of member countries are not democracies.

Iran has secured the presidency of the UN Commission on Disarmament. Then of the Human Rights Forum. Right: Iran executed 87 people in August, 29 in a single day, over 400 in a year. World record for hangings and shootings.

Kris Kristofferson, Songwriter, Dead at 88

As the songwriter of legendary compositions like “Help Me Make It Through the Night,” “Sunday Mornin’ Comin’ Down,” and “Me and Bobby McGee,” Kris Kristofferson transformed lyrics into literature, elevating the craft to a legitimate American art form in a way few had done before. Part Romantic poet, part folk troubadour, part country-music storyteller, Kristofferson died Saturday at the age of 88.
