Dutch spies hid engineer’s role in paralysing Iran nuclear project

Erik van Sabben released a Stuxnet computer worm that compromised Tehran’s weapons programme. Weeks later, he was dead

A Dutch engineer played the “crucial role” in a mission to sabotage Iran’s nuclear weapons programme with a sophisticated computer virus as part of a US and Israeli mission, without the knowledge of his country’s government.

Erik van Sabben released the “very advanced” computer worm known as Stuxnet into the Natanz underground nuclear plant’s computer systems at the end of 2008, bringing the Iranian nuclear programme to a grinding halt. He was killed in a road accident two weeks later.

In several cases, the suits also name the university’s student union.

Media Outlets Bury Revelation That Epstein Accuser Retracted Trump Allegations

Media outlets buried the revelation that an accuser of the late disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein had retracted former President Donald Trump from her allegations.

On Monday, multiple media outlets ran reports of Trump having been named in the latest Epstein documents, but failed to note in the lede of their articles that the accuser had actually retracted those allegations in 2019.

WARMINGTON: Toronto needs to act now to take control of city back from pro-Hamas protesters

Mayor Olivia Chow’s grip on being Toronto’s chief magistrate is literally skating on thin ice.

And there needs to be some major adjustments for the mayor and others to prevent the city from falling through.

Neither Chow nor Ford will do much beyond mouthing the usual empty platitudes. Both crave those GTA Mohammedan votes.

The GTA has a larger Muslim population than Dearbornistan. The first I visited Dearborn I sensed evil. I feel the same way about the GTA today.

German farmers’ protest sparks chaos

German farmers began a week of nationwide protests Monday, causing traffic jams across the country as they blocked streets and highways with thousands of tractors and trucks.

Monday’s actions were the latest in a series of protests venting anger over the coalition government’s decision to cut some diesel subsidies to farmers and transport truckers.

The cuts were due to budget shortfalls after Germany’s Constitutional Court declared Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s government could not reallocate tens of billions in coronavirus relief funds for other purposes.

We are governed by Dickheads.

Don’t Even Think About Driving One Mile above the Speed Limit

Progressives in the U.K. push 20 mph speed limits, on top of congestion taxes and outright bans of new gas- or diesel-powered cars.

If you want to predict what the next steps in the progressive war on the private automobile will be in the United States, look to elite public opinion.

Electric-vehicle fanatics have pushed nine states into mandating zero-emission cars in the next few years. New York City will begin charging a congestion fee in Manhattan in May. In a new poll, commissioned by the Committee to Unleash Prosperity, Scott Rasmussen has just surveyed 1,000 members of what he calls “the elite 1 percent” of Americans, namely those who have a postgraduate degree, live in dense urban areas, and earn more than $150,000 a year. In short, they are the people who frequently wield disproportionate influence over ideas and public policy.

Race and punishment: truth over facts

It’s an article of faith among Democrats/socialists/communists (D/s/cs) that minorities, particularly black people, are far more harshly treated by the Criminal Justice System than whites. The “evidence” usually cited for this, apart from “because we say so,” or “experts say,” is disparate impact. If black people are arrested and convicted in greater numbers than their percentage of the population, that’s prima facie evidence of racism and disparate impact. Why else could so many black people become “justice system-involved individuals?”

Giving a green light to male violence against women

I’m old enough to remember when being progressive meant opposing male violence against women. When the decent liberal thing to do was to side with battered women against the gross blokes who beat them up. Not anymore. Now the right-on are giving a green light to male brutishness. They’re actively cheering men who fancy punching women in the face. As long as they do it in the boxing ring, that is. Courtesy of USA Boxing’s new trans rules, it is now permissible for boxers who were born male and who went through male puberty – that is, men – to compete against women.

Will Quality Street lead to a communist revolution?

A much-derided online rant hints at a broader truth

An early contender for Rant of the Year comes from a thus-far anonymous British woman, who made waves on social media at the weekend. The target of her rage is a box of Quality Street — specifically, the replacement of the traditional foil wrappers with lacklustre paper. The redesign is “a travesty”, she says, adding that the manufacturers can “put their chocolates where the sun never shines”.
