The Lord Haw-Haws of Hamas

Why are so many supposed leftists spreading propaganda for religious fascists?

Imagine going back in time, a decade or so, and telling anti-fascists that one day they’ll be doing the bidding of fascists. Imagine telling anti-racists that they would soon become propagandists for racists. Imagine telling those woke campus feminists, the sort who thought that being propositioned at the student bar was ‘rape culture’, that in the not-too-distant future they’d be making excuses for literal rape. They’d have thought you mad. And yet it’s happened. Many of yesteryear’s self-righteous haters of bigotry have morphed into the Lord Haw-Haws of Hamas – one of the most bigoted movements on Earth.

The Children of History’s Great Villains

For decades, the Long Island Hitlers have been living quietly in the New York suburbs. Alexander (whose middle name is Adolf), Louis, and Brian Stuart-Houston—the family name was changed after the war first to Hiller and then to Stuart-Houston—are three of Adolf Hitler’s last surviving relatives, the grandsons of the Nazi dictator’s half-brother Alois Hitler Jr. Their father, William “Willy” Patrick Hitler, was born in Liverpool in 1911 and served in the U.S. Navy against Germany during the Second World War. Willy’s half-brother Heinz, who Alois had sired with his second wife, served in the Wehrmacht and purportedly died while a prisoner of the Soviets in 1942. Until recently, the Führer’s great-nephews have understandably declined to talk to the press.

Who really committed the Moscow terror attack?

Whenever an apparent terrorist attack occurs, one’s first thought is ‘who was responsible?’

In a reasonable country, one starts with the facts. But Russia is not a reasonable country. Indeed, since the terrible massacre which claimed 137 lives, the Kremlin’s first instinct was to pump out every conceivable conspiracy theory under the sun.

The first was that Kyiv was responsible, later extrapolated to include the Western intelligence services, such as MI6. This is despite the fact that, in private, it would appear that very few of the Russian elite believe that Ukraine or the West bear any responsibility. There are even reports that Putin himself is unconvinced by what his propaganda spews.

Trudeau tries to win back younger voters with first pre-budget announcement

OTTAWA – The Trudeau government began a series of pre-budget announcements Wednesday targeting Millennials and Gen Z voters in a bid to attract two generations that have largely abandoned the Liberal party.

Trudeau made an announcement in Vancouver, while other ministers made similar announcements in Toronto and Montreal about new programs that will be included in next month’s budget. Wednesday’s announcement included $15 million to go to Legal Aid organizations across the country to help those organizations provide more services to renters dealing with “renovictions” or other issues with their landlord.

Young Canadians lead nation in Holocaust skepticism, support for Hamas: poll

Young Canadians are more likely than the rest of the population to believe that the Holocaust was exaggerated, and these skeptics are more likely to hold a negative view of Jews and a favourable view of Hamas, according to a new national poll.

One in six Canadians (16 per cent) between the ages of 18 and 24 believe the Holocaust was exaggerated, double that of 25- to 34-year-olds (eight per cent) and eight times greater than those 65 and older (two per cent), according to the Leger survey commissioned by the Association for Canadian Studies (ACS) in February. Only five per cent of Canadians overall hold this view.

I would love to see an ethnic/religious breakdown of the skeptical respondents.

‘He understands Canadians’: Inside what ‘axe the tax’ means to Poilievre’s supporters

When Sarah Morin hears the phrase “axe the tax,” what enters her mind is “freedom.”

The 41-year-old is a stay-at-home mother of two who has been using a food bank amid cost-of-living pressures.

She was among those who packed into a crammed room at a convention centre near Ottawa’s airport on Sunday to listen to Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre speak.

Conservatives blast pro-carbon price economists as ‘so-called experts’

OTTAWA — The federal Conservatives say they won’t be taking advice from “so-called experts” when it comes to carbon pricing, after more than 200 economists signed an open letter challenging Pierre Poilievre’s stance.

Instead, the party is pledging to listen to the “common sense of the common people.”

The comments come after economists associated with universities across Canada took aim at common claims in the heated debate over the policy.

Economists are pushing back on assertions the carbon price has driven up the cost of living, and calling out opponents for failing to pitch a less costly alternative to reduce emissions.

U.N. Chief Demands Slavery Reparations After ‘Generations of Discrimination’

Why do we never talk about Islamic slavery?

U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres has declared reparations are due now to compensate for the trans-Atlantic slave trade as a way to tackle “its legacy” in today’s society, including “systemic racism and white supremacy.”

In a statement to mark the U.N. International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery, the veteran Portuguese Socialist said past colonial powers “laid the foundations for a violent discrimination system based on white supremacy that still echoes today.

Not Safe to Walk the Streets

Amid more deadly disorder in New York City, young women are being randomly punched in the face.

In recent days—deadly ones in New York—another alarming trend has apparently emerged in the city: sudden, violent attacks on young women. The flustered victims, all relatively young and white, report that they were walking down the street in lower Manhattan when a passerby punched them in the face. Videos on TikTok are made on the fly, immediately after the attack, and show women in a state of shock, some with bruises, some crying, some just flabbergasted.

John Robson: Decades of ‘Be Yourself’ Messaging Behind Much of Today’s Antisocial Behaviour

When I read that our government despises us, I’m tempted to respond that the feeling is mutual. But as Andrew Breitbart warned, politics is downstream of culture. So there’s a “Picture of Dorian Voter” problem here.

Certainly when a “Security and Intelligence Threats to Elections Task Force” study calls us misinformed conspiracy-minded kooks who hate politicians, I want to shake the morning paper at them. On March 25 alone I encountered our finance minister asking senators to pass a money-shredding bill unread. And in addition to $59.5 million to consultants, federal bureaucrats clocked 134,000 hours of their own highly-paid pensionable time on the wretched ArriveCan app

Biden Administration’s Terrorist Pier in Gaza: The Trojan Horse For Terrorists to Take Over the Region

Biden is in charge of tapioca

At the request of the Biden administration, Qatar has agreed to take charge of operating and financing a temporary pier in the Gaza Strip. Qatar agreed to run the port on condition that the construction work go to a company controlled and sponsored by Hamas, according to Israel’s Channel 14.

The Biden administration’s decision to involve Qatar, Hamas’s major funder and ally, in the project is akin to putting the fox in charge of the chicken coop. This is a big, deliberate finger from the Biden administration not just in the in the eye of Israel but also in the eyes of America’s allies in the Gulf who do not support terrorists, as well as for US national security.

Interference inquiry must walk very fine line on secrecy to avoid revealing traitorous actions by Liberal party

Interference inquiry must walk very fine line on secrecy, transparency: commissioner

OTTAWA – The head of an inquiry into foreign interference emphasized Wednesday that the need for secrecy about the sensitive subject has not hindered her work to date.

Commissioner Marie-Josée Hogue cautioned, however, that the inquiry must walk a very fine line in balancing confidentiality and the desire for transparency.

Hogue’s remarks came as the commission began two weeks of hearings into foreign meddling allegations and how the federal government responded to them.
