COP28 and the scourge of eco-imperialism

It feels like at COP28 the delusions of Western greens finally crashed against the shores of reality. The luxuriant doom-mongering of privileged eco-warriors who insist the world will end if we don’t phase out fossil fuels was confronted by a truth no reasonable person can deny: that fossil fuels remain vital to human life. In the gleaming oasis of Dubai it became clear that oil, gas and even coal are not going away anytime soon, however much the Gretas of the West might want them to. Why? Because – brace yourselves – India, China, Brazil and other nations are not prepared to sacrifice their economic health at the altar of our deranged anti-modernism.

Searching for an Enemy: From ‘Far Right’ to ‘Ultra Right’

For some months now, the concept of the ‘ultra Right’ has been all the rage among French journalists, who seem to have found a new enemy to slay. A bogeyman designed to remobilise a public that has become too accustomed to the term ‘far Right,’ the ‘ultra Right’ could have the opposite effect to that intended: it could further normalise the discourse of the national Right.

US Congress passes stripped-down measure to release UFO records

National Archives directed to collect reports but measure gives government departments broad authority to keep them secret

If the truth about UFOs is out there, the American government doesn’t want you to see it yet.

Just months after US space agency Nasa appointed a research director of unidentified anomalous phenomena, and promised more transparency about what it knows, the US Congress has acted to throttle the flow of information that ultimately reaches the public.

Measures to create a presidential commission to review UFO records, and to order the Department of Defense to declassify certain “records relating to publicly known sightings of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP)”, were stripped from the sweeping defense policy bill that passed Congress on Thursday with bipartisan support.

Rudy Giuliani ordered to pay more than $148M to Georgia poll workers he defamed

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani was ordered by a federal jury Friday to pay more than $148 million to two Atlanta election workers he was found to have slandered by alleging they worked to cheat former President Donald Trump out of the 2020 election.

The DC panel awarded $75 million in punitive damages to Andrea “Shaye” Moss and her mother Ruby Freeman, as well as $20 million to each woman for emotional distress after deliberating for parts of two days.

Satanic Temple condemns vandalism of its statue by Christian military veteran

The leader of an organization whose satanic altar at Iowa’s state capitol was torn down by a Christian military veteran on Thursday has dismissed the vandalism as “a real act of cowardice”.

“There’s a certain point at which we need some adults in the room to tell people what … liberal, democratic values are; what their value is; why we uphold them; what they’re good for; and they need to stand up for these values or we are going to further degenerate in our polarism towards autocracy,” the co-founder of the Satanic Temple, Lucien Greaves, told CNN’s NewsNight on Thursday.

What a world.

John Ivison: The Canadian university teacher facing firing for daring to denounce Hamas

As anyone who uses social media knows, anger erodes our self-control and makes us do things we often later regret.

Paul Finlayson can certainly relate to that, after responding to a post on LinkedIn last month.

The 59-year-old marketing lecturer at the University of Guelph-Humber came across a post from an educator in Pakistan, who was using what Finlayson considered genocidal language about the conflict in Gaza, by calling for a Palestinian state “from the river to the sea.”

How Muslim voters are exerting their growing political influence

There are lots of possible explanations for why Canada tilted away from Israel on the Gaza conflict this week by backing a UN resolution calling for a “sustained ceasefire.”

There’s even a theory that Washington gave Canada, Australia and New Zealand a quiet nod to shift their positions as a way of pressuring the Israeli government to restrain the bombing campaign that has killed so many Palestinian civilians.

But the Trudeau government surely didn’t need much encouragement to move in that direction, and it didn’t necessarily have to do with geopolitical calculations. You only have to look at changing demographics in this country and their far-reaching political implications.

Elite college students have infuriated their elders before

Just over ninety years ago, the Oxford Union carried the motion ‘That this House will in no circumstances fight for its King and Country’

A striking generation gap in the western world has been revealed by the responses to the October 7 atrocities in Israel. Noting in these pages the surge in pro-Palestinian sentiment among young people on both sides of the Atlantic, my old friend Douglas Murray worries that “When it comes to Palestine, the kids aren’t all right.”

Murray is correct to say that something has changed. He is also correct that it is mainly a phenomenon in the English-speaking world. In the US and the UK, young people are far less well-disposed towards Israel than a decade ago.

Michelle Wu, Blasted for No-Whites-Allowed Holiday Party, Has Long History of Radical Racial Activism

Her racially segregated party was not the first time she has been overtly dismissive of white people.

Could be why people look away when Blacks attack Asians

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu remains unapologetic for her decision to host a holiday party on Wednesday at which only “electeds of color” were welcome.

“I am honored to be a part of this group,” she told the media outside Parkman House, the city-owned building where the party was held. “It is a long-standing affinity group that has grown in recent years here in Boston, Massachusetts.”

Police investigating Barry and Honey Sherman’s murders accepted odd limits sought by executors

On an overcast day last December, Toronto homicide Det.-Const. Dennis Yim made a rare trip out of the office where he has worked on the Barry and Honey Sherman murder case, day in and day out, since 2017.

Yim, with close-cropped hair and a slender, athletic build, drove to an office somewhere in Toronto, in search of information related to some of Barry Sherman’s many business deals.

The lone full-time detective on the case, Yim recently remarked that his job is never-ending.
