The videos ISIS didn’t want you to see: How grainy security footage could help hold abusers to account

The footage is mundane and revelatory all at once.

The hallway, filmed from an unmoving closed-circuit camera, appears unremarkable. It’s the point in time, and the people in the former children’s hospital, that make the hours and hours of video from this and other cameras on site extraordinary.

ISIS fighters roamed the hallways of this building complex in the Syrian city of Aleppo, which they had claimed as a headquarters. They moved blindfolded prisoners. They struck them with sticks. They walked past a man being tortured – straining to stand, arms tied aloft behind his back.

China: Preparing for War

Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leader Xi Jinping is rapidly militarizing his country and has instructed its army to “prepare for war” and “fight and win” it. Just a few weeks ago, China expert (full disclosure: and Gatestone Senior Fellow) Gordon Chang warned:

“Chinese ruler Xi Jinping replaced the senior leadership of China’s Rocket Force, which is responsible for almost all of China’s 400 or so nuclear warheads. These personnel changes are part of what is almost certainly the most ominous development of this time. It looks like Xi is contemplating using or at least threatening to use his most destructive weapons. In other words, China is planning to go to war.

“Xi sacked Rocket Force commander, Li Yuchao, and its political commissar, Xu Zhongbo. Neither has been seen in public since. Li’s deputy, Liu Guangbin, has also disappeared, along with Zhang Zhenzhong, a former deputy. At about the same time, Wu Guohua, deputy commander of the Rocket Force, reportedly took his own life in early July.”

Xi is doubtless weighing the risk-reward ratio of launching an aggressive operation against Taiwan during US President Joe Biden’s term of office. Xi is doubtless aware that his “window of opportunity” may be closing in 18 months, accompanied by a felicitously distracting US presidential election.

PBS Weeps Over Denial of ‘Gender-affirming Medical Care’ for TX Transgender Kids

Role Model

Friday’s edition of the tax-supported PBS NewsHour reacted with alarm about the news that what the left calls “gender-affirming medical care” for children (i.e., puberty blockers, hormone treatments, and irrevocable surgeries) has been outlawed in Texas. It featured reporter Laura Barron-Lopez, surely busy between her fixation on teenage gender dysphoria and her official job as NewsHour’s White House correspondent.

Missing million temporary residents in figures casts doubt on how many have jobs: report

A discrepancy of around a million temporary residents between official figures from two federal bodies is leaving Canada in the dark about how many of those residents actually have jobs, an economist is warning.

“I want to know the truth,” he said. “What’s the true number here? The reality is that nobody knows what the truth is – nobody. And that’s a problem.”

The report says undercounting of temporary residents in labour force figures could have a serious impact on planning to alleviate labour shortages, and could also affect wages.

Incompetence or a deliberate scam? Either way Canadian citizens have their prosperity undermined by mass immigration.

Titless Teacher A Big Bust

HUNTER: With police escort, teacher ZZZ top is queen for a day

The two protesters showed up but left before brandishing their placards.

Tuesday was not the first day of classes at Nora Frances Henderson Secondary School in Hamilton. That honour would go to Wednesday.

Nonetheless, a quartet of photographers showed up to capture Woman of the Year, Kayla Lemieux. They were from the Daily Mail, New York Post and the Toronto Sun.

Nolte: 6 Biggest Disasters Hitting Woke Walt Disney

The news that Disney’s stock price target has just been downgraded to a still optimistic $110 offers a perfect jumping-off point to look at why.

Disney was once one of the most bulletproof brands on the planet. For almost a hundred years, Disney meant magic, family, innocence, fun, and fairy tales. But thanks to the corporation’s current obsession with identity politics and sexual perversion, the brand is not only tarnished, these dual obsessions have sucked all the creative spirit and energy out of a company that once seemed infallible.

FIRST READING: First Nations never said there were mass graves at residential schools

In the last week, some international news outlets published claims that Canada has fallen for one of the biggest hoaxes in its history.

“Alleged mass grave of Indigenous children at Catholic schools across Canada contains NO BODIES,” declared Britain’s Daily Mail last Thursday. “No human remains found two years after claims of ‘mass graves’ in Canada,” headlined the New York Post. The American Conservative claimed Canada has perpetrated an “anti-Catholic blood libel.”

61 indicted in Georgia on racketeering charges connected to ‘Stop Cop City’ movement

ATLANTA (AP) — Sixty-one people have been indicted in Georgia on racketeering charges following a long-running state investigation into protests against a planned police and firefighter training facility in the Atlanta area that critics call “Cop City.”

In the sweeping indictment released Tuesday, Republican Attorney General Chris Carr alleged the defendants are “militant anarchists” who supported a violent movement that prosecutors trace to the widespread 2020 racial justice protests.

The Aug. 29 indictment is the latest application of the state’s anti-racketeering law, also known as a RICO law, and comes just weeks after the Fulton County prosecutor used the statute to charge former President Donald Trump and 18 other defendants.

Proposed Toronto sales tax a disaster in the making so approval by council expected

Contentious ‘made-in-Toronto sales tax’ goes before council

… Debate about the municipal sales tax could be one of the most contentious parts of the package proposed by staff.

Some have already spoken out against the measure, including Councillor James Pasternak, who represents York Centre, Ward 6. He said the sales tax will hurt people at a time when many are struggling with the increasing cost of living.

“A made-in-Toronto sales tax, it just won’t work,” he said. “People will shop elsewhere, they will leave our jurisdiction and shop at retail stores outside of Toronto.”

I hope they do approve the sales tax, there may be hope of a resurrection once the city is ground into progressive dust.

International students pay sky-high fees. Whose job is it to house them?

Around 800,000 international students currently call Canada home, with thousands more expected to come with every new academic year.

As students head back to school this fall, the focus is increasing on whose responsibility it is to house them, and what the growing numbers mean for Canada’s housing crisis.

For something to have gotten this out of hand makes me suspect a “scam” benefitting the Liberal Party.

It is not the tax payers job. Blame the twits in Ottawa send the students back to their homes.
