This doesn’t seem cosmic, but if a 44,000-pound chunk of fiberglass/epoxy resin that’s as big as a 747 airliner breaks off the tower of a wind turbine and comes hurtling down to earth while in operation, something is very wrong.
Apparently though, that wasn’t as obvious to the journalists in the mainstream media as it was to me.
Big discussion on X yesterday gave us a window into the WEF’s absolute consternation with we of the knuckle-dragging crowd’s obstinance when it comes to meekly following their dictates.
Universities should be bastions of truth, not politics
On both sides of America’s Palestine campus wars, you find people making historical parallels. The protestors present themselves as the heirs to the Vietnam peaceniks, proudly bearing what Noam Chomsky called “the responsibility of intellectuals” and comparing their own run-ins with the police to the Kent State massacre. Their opponents take a different view. “Will Columbia be remembered as Heidelberg?”, the chair of Yad Vashem went as far as to ask: does Columbia risk alienating its Jewish students and scholars for good, and declining in prestige as a result?
On Nov. 5, 2023, the New York Times published a story headlined, “Trump Leads in 5 Critical States as Voters Blast Biden, Times/Siena Poll Finds.” Focusing on the states most likely to decide the 2024 election, the Times reported, “The results show Mr. Biden is losing to Mr. Trump, his likeliest Republican rival, by margins of four to 10 percentage points among registered voters in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada and Pennsylvania. Mr. Biden is ahead only in Wisconsin, by two percentage points, the poll found.”
The old Latin invocation to not speak ill of the dead is one of the oldest and most famous aphorisms in Western culture. But in London, in 2024, it has become increasingly acceptable among certain circles to mockingly dismiss and ignore the dead. Spiralling violent crime has become an unlikely source of amusement for not only London’s newly re-elected mayor, Labour’s Sadiq Khan, but also for many of his elite endorsers.
Transport Canada’s UFO ‘lead’ planned to meet with U.S. intel officials, called info requests a ‘wild goose chase’
A U.S. intelligence agency wanted to meet with Transport Canada’s “lead” on UFOs amid heightened interest and headline-grabbing news about the Pentagon’s UFO research efforts(opens in a new tab) and congressional hearings in the U.S.(opens in a new tab)
But through multiple freedom of information requests, a CTVNews.ca investigation shows the senior federal transportation official repeatedly tried to downplay the enigmatic issue by contributing to “contradictory” media statements, pushing back against access to information requests, and deflecting questions to the Americans while also being involved in a UFO briefing for the transport minister’s office.

The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) has delayed Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s controversial move to amend the Broadcasting Act until late 2025.
Bill C-11: The Online Streaming Act, initially scheduled for implementation in 2024, would require media giants like Netflix, Amazon Prime and Spotify to promote Canadian content and contribute financially to its production.
Peru’s government officially classified transgender and intersex people as “mentally ill” on Tuesday. The Telegraph reports that the country’s health ministry said this will allow its public health services to “guarantee full coverage of medical attention for mental health.”
The decree was signed by Peruvian President Dina Boluarte and also defines transsexualism, gender identity disorder in children, dual-role transvestitism, and “other gender identity disorders” as mental illnesses, per Pink News. It will officially change the language in the Essential Health Insurance Plan (PEAS) to classify trans and intersex people as having a mental health disorder.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government signalled a major shift in Canada’s Middle East policy last week by abstaining on a United Nations General Assembly resolution backing the recognition of Palestine as a full UN member.
Until last week, Canada had always sided with Israel and its allies in arguing that a recognition of Palestinian statehood could come only after negotiations on a two-state solution and Palestinian endorsement of Israel’s right to exist.

No one knows what the ballot-box question will be in the next election, whenever it does come.
But at least one legal scholar in Canada believes voters should be asking some hard questions about the Constitution — specifically, whether a future prime minister would be willing to opt out of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Pierre Poilievre has dropped some broad hints in the past couple of weeks that he could be ready to blaze a trail here as prime minister. No federal government has ever used the notwithstanding clause in the 40-plus years it has been part of the Constitution. But the Conservative leader told a police chiefs’ gathering he might go down that road to get tougher on criminals.

An organization tied to the Chinese Communist Party has funded, in part, a radical anti-Israel group since its formation in October 2023, a new report finds.
The report from the Network Contagion Research Institute says that the anti-Israel group Shut It Down for Palestine is funded in part by Chinese programs that promote “alternative anti-establishment media organizations promoting anti-American narratives, as well as seemingly grassroots activist movements.”
Judge Merchan’s animosity toward Trump and his inability to ensure a fair trial is not lost on voters.
Recently, when former President Trump openly accused the New York judge presiding over his “hush money” trial of plotting to put him in jail and declared himself willing to emulate Nelson Mandela, it had the desired effect on the commentariat and the savants of social media. They provided Trump with plenty of earned coverage and precious little substance concerning how the voters will react if he is jailed for committing a misdemeanor. It’s obvious that the Biden reelection campaign is relying on lawfare to drive down Trump’s support. Yet, according to a recent AP-NORC poll, “Only about one-third of U.S. adults say Trump did something illegal in the hush money case.”
A Quebec Superior Court judge has rejected a provisional injunction request by McGill University to remove pro-Palestinian encampment activists from its front lawn in downtown Montreal.
Justice Marc St-Pierre said in his decision issued Wednesday morning that the university failed to justify the urgent need to dismantle the camp.
McGill made the injunction request on Monday. In the request, the university’s lawyers argued that the encampment was unsafe, posing a risk of escalating tensions on campus and preventing McGill from holding its convocation ceremonies at its usual outdoor location.
