The grave of the wonderful world of the West
Three years ago, on August 21, 2021, the Western adventure in Afghanistan ended. Nothing remains of twenty years of our presence. Like the website of the University of Kabul, where we offered Afghans courses in “Gender and Woman Studies” since 2015.
It has aged badly, like the CNN article that announced it. Like UNICEF, which said it was “fairly optimistic” that the Taliban would respect women’s right to education while they took back power; like Twitter (as it was called before Elon Musk bought it) which declared that the Taliban could continue to use the social network “as long as they respect the rules”; like a Canadian minister (female) who called the Taliban “our brothers” and the famous French association Osez le féminisme! which expressed “sisterhood with Afghan women in the face of misogyny”.
The west has to learn to fight Islam as they fought Hitler and Japan in WW II.
Trump’s Vision Transcends the Party
Like the greatest leaders in history, Trump is articulating a vision that now resonates beyond political party lines.
The greatest leaders of free societies transcended partisanship.
Not because they were absent of principle. To the contrary, they were driven by deep conviction in what they did, and they did so in relation to and in coordination with others. Rather, they were aware of the fundamental challenge of living in a polis — how to take a principled stand (whose rightness is not dependent on popular opinion, but because of the truth of the stand itself) united with others (without corrupting or compromising that stand).
Will Alberta Replace the Mounties With Its Own Provincial Police Force?
Along with pulling out of the Canada Pension Plan, Danielle Smith, the premier of Alberta, has in the past floated the idea of replacing the Royal Canadian Mounted Police with a provincial police force.
Like every province except Ontario and Quebec, which have provincial forces, Alberta has contracted out rural policing to the Mounties for over 90 years, and several of its cities also outsource policing to the federal force.
And like every province that relies on the Mounties, grumbling about the cost and quality of the service the R.C.M.P. provides ebbs and flows in Alberta.
‘Head Separated from Body’: The Persecution of Christians, July 2024
Democratic Republic of Congo: According to a July 28 report:
“Islamic State Central Africa Province (ISCAP) claimed, in four statements published on July 25-27, 2024, that on July 24 its fighters attacked six villages in the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s (DRC) northeastern provinces, beheading more than 57 Christian villagers. In the two largest attacks that day, 54 villagers were beheaded, 30 and 24 respectively.”
Liberal immigration pivot forces Canada to reckon with approach to labour shortages
OTTAWA – The Liberal government’s decision to reel in the temporary foreign worker program after loosening the rules to help businesses find workers after the pandemic is sparking a contentious debate about whether governments should even try to address labour shortages.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced on Monday that his government is bringing back stricter rules to stem the flow of low-wage temporary foreign workers, and he urged businesses to hire and train Canadian workers.
There was never a “labour shortage” there was a slave shortage and our Captain’s of Industry had Trudeau fix that for them.
Keir Stasi? UK government wants to prosecute ‘non-crime hate speech’
In the United Kingdom’s escalating war on the freedom of expression, the U.K. Home Secretary is seeking to reinstate the prosecution of “non-crime hate speech,” overturning a 2021 court ruling which described the measure as a move towards a police state in Britain.
According to an August 28 report in the U.K. Times, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper “faces a legal battle” to reinstate measures to interrogate, monitor, and even prosecute members of the public for a range of “non-criminal” remarks.

Immigration flaws debase Canadian citizenship
Shocking testimony at the Commons Public Safety Committee last week raises serious flags about how two men now charged with a slew of terror related charges were allowed into this country. One of them, Ahmed Eldidi, was granted Canadian citizenship just two months before he was arrested. One of those charges is related to a terror video made before Eldidi came to Canada. He can be seen allegedly dismembering a body, “for the benefit of, at the direction of, or in association with” the Islamic State.
Trudeau is the cheapest of whores.
India’s Modi, With the Mideast in Turmoil, Shifts His Approach Dramatically, Offering Open Support for Israel
NEW DELHI — As the Middle East conflict continues, the prime minister of India, Narendra Modi, has notably shifted India’s approach, offering open support for Israel — a dramatic break from decades of cautious diplomacy.
Since taking office in 2014, Mr. Modi, from the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party, has publicly aligned with Israel, frequently called Prime Minister Netanyahu his “friend,” expressed condolences for the October 7 attacks, and continues to supply weaponry to the Netanyahu government.
WTF?
NEW: Trans people are currently fuming after two female OF creators pretend to be trans to sell their OF subscription.
The trans community is lashing out, saying the women are pretending to be a gender they aren’t.

Germany’s AfD Party heading for election win in east – projections
Germany’s anti-immigration party Alternative for Germany (AfD) is on course for victory in the eastern state of Thuringia, according to projections.
The AfD is set to win 32.8% of the vote, says a projection for public broadcaster ARD, nine points ahead of the conservative CDU, and far in front of Germany’s three governing parties.
If confirmed, it would give the far right its first vote win in a state parliament since World War Two, although it has little hope of forming a government in Thuringia.
Pierre Poilievre’s Quebec Problem
“It’s not hard to guess the reason: Quebecers are allergic to Poilievre’s style, that of intimidation, insults, and a feeling that he has never encountered a quarrel in which he did not want to get involved.”
Yet another article by the Tone Police. Ms. Telford has been busy.
Kept in chains, sexually assaulted: my 55 days as a Hamas hostage
The closet
I woke up in Kfar Aza on the morning of October 7 to the sound of Hamas rockets. I knew how the rockets usually sounded here, so I immediately realised something was different about these ones. I said, “Yes, a day off work! I can work from home.” Those were my first thoughts. I went outside to the neighbours: “Hey, good morning, good morning!” Outside, I heard boom-boom-boom, there were already gunshots in the kibbutz, and I was all like, “What’s up? Good morning!” We didn’t get it at all.
