Can Putin survive a Chechen civil war?

Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov is Putin’s ally

A bloody battle would distract Russia from Ukraine

Is Chechnya preparing for a bloody succession battle? According to reports, Ramzan Kadyrov, the ruthless leader of Russia’s Chechnya region, is suffering from a fatal pancreas condition. Although rumours about his health have cropped up repeatedly in recent years, this time things do not look good. Neither the Kremlin nor its counterpart in Grozny have been able to dispel the sense that Chechnya may be about to face a turning point — one that may provide an opportunity for Vladimir Putin’s opponents to get the better of Russia in Ukraine.

The Liberals’ delays on foreign interference carry profound costs

It’s 2024, and Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government has tabled the foreign-interference bill that would have been so useful in 2019.

A new offence for foreign interference, with serious jail time as the penalty, would have been in effect before the last election. A foreign registry would not just be on the drawing board, but in place and working years before the 2025 election. Now it will almost certainly come after the vote.

Rex Murphy: Trudeau faced an essential moral test after Oct. 7. He failed it

On Oct. 7, a cowardly, medieval, murder cult (campus heroes) Hamas took the lives of over 1,200 Jews.

Without warning, at a music festival; chased, toyed with; beating every Jew they could find; hunted them down, tormented them, raped them, shot them. A great insensate orgiastic jubilation over a massacre of innocent Jews of an intensity and enormity not seen since the demonic practices of Jew-hating, Jew-destroying Nazism. The greatest puncture in that useless lying balloon of “never again” since the failed slogan was first muttered. Jews massacred in their homeland. Jews killed again.

Meanwhile at U Of T. Can Keffiyeh Doug stop the encampment?

Tom Mulcair: Turfing Poilievre from House a clear sign of desperation by Trudeau Liberals

When all hell broke loose in the House last week, those of us who have experience as parliamentarians simply couldn’t believe our eyes. Speaker Greg Fergus(opens in a new tab) had tossed out the Leader of His Majesty’s Loyal Opposition, Pierre Poilievre, on the flimsiest of pretenses.

Fergus is highly partisan. We all knew that when Trudeau backed him in the election to replace Anthony Rota(opens in a new tab), who’d been forced to step down after introducing a former Nazi soldier in Parliament.

The People Setting America on Fire

An investigation into the witches’ brew of billionaires, Islamists, and leftists behind the campus protests

Over the past several weeks, Americans have witnessed what has seemed like a mass outpouring of support for terror on elite college campuses. At Columbia, Yale, Princeton, NYU, UCLA, Northwestern, Texas, and elsewhere, masked mobs have occupied schools with tent encampments, established self-proclaimed “autonomous zones,” clashed with police, harassed and threatened visibly Jewish students, and issued demands for their universities to divest from Israeli “genocide.” Politically, moreover, the protests have displayed an incoherent mix of campus progressivism, hardcore Islamism and Arab nationalism, and revolutionary anarchism and communism, including open praise for North Korea. The only unifying thread would appear to be opposition to Israel and its alleged imperial patron, the United States.

It’s not racist to air concerns about immigration, says BBC review

The BBC has been told that it is not racist to air concerns about immigration in a review that found journalists are anxious about appearing “hostile” to migrants.

The review, commissioned by the BBC board and authored by Madeleine Sumption, the director of the Migration Observatory at Oxford University, looked at the impartiality and accuracy of the BBC’s coverage of migration.

It found no consistent bias towards Left or Right but identified “risks to impartiality that point in multiple directions”.

Doh.

Signal’s Katherine Maher Problem

Is the integrity of the encrypted-messaging application compromised by its chairman of the board?

The encrypted-messaging service Signal is the application of choice for dissenters around the world. The app has been downloaded by more than 100 million users and boasts high-profile endorsements from NSA leaker Edward Snowden and serial entrepreneur Elon Musk. Signal has created the perception that its users, including political dissidents, can communicate with one another without fear of government interception or persecution.

But the insider history of Signal raises questions about the app’s origins and its relationship with government—in particular, with the American intelligence apparatus. Such a relationship would be troubling, given how much we have learned, in recent years, about extensive efforts to control and censor information undertaken by technology companies, sometimes in tandem with American government officials.

A Palestinian State Will Lead To More Massacres, Final Nail in Coffin Torpedoing Biden Legacy

Since the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has repeatedly spoken of the need for a “pathway” for the creation of a Palestinian state in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem. According to Blinken, a Palestinian state would have two positive effects: First, it would pave the way for a normalization of relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia, and second, it would “isolate” Iran and its terrorist proxies, including Hamas and Hezbollah.
