‘Big Brothers’ of Chinese Transnational Crime Ran Global Fentanyl Cash Laundering for Sinaloa and Jalisco Cartels, from Dubai to Latin America

ALEXANDRIA, Va. — In a case kept largely under seal to protect an active investigation and the safety of witnesses, two alleged senior figures in Chinese transnational criminal networks — each carrying the “Big Brother” honorific that signals high-ranking leadership — have been charged in a United States federal court with laundering fentanyl proceeds for the Sinaloa Cartel and the Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generación, according to court documents obtained by The Bureau.

Reparations: Who Pays Whom?

Reparations: Who Pays Whom?

Reparations, its proponents insist, are payments white Americans owe black Americans for enslaving them, a practice that ended 163 years ago. These advocates would have us believe that seven or eight generations after the fact, the limitations and inequalities of slavery still hold slavery’s descendants back and deny them their chance at the American dream. And somebody has to pay.

Setting aside the logic of that claim for the moment — while noting its similarity to the familiar liberal mantra: “Vote for us, and we’ll give you stuff!” — let us consider the practical question: Who exactly should pay whom?

Monkeypox Copies the COVID-19 Playbook

Monkeypox Copies the COVID-19 Playbook

For the public health sceptic, monkeypox is the gift that keeps on giving. Hot off the press is a case that has rocked the worlds of virology and epidemiology, with the monkeypox virus facing accusations of plagiarism.

Plagiarism, the deliberate use of the words or ideas of others without attribution while passing them off as your own is considered one of the most serious violations of scientific ethics. The outcome for the monkeypox virus could be severe including removal from the prestigious BSV (Big Scary Viruses) list.

The liberal elite deserves to be labelled ‘patraphobic’

The liberal elite deserves to be labelled ‘patraphobic’

CULTURAL conservatism is doomed. ‘Doomed, I tell you!’ as Dad’s Army’s Private Frazer was wont to say. Meaning that all its worthwhile integral components will wither and perish along with it. Including such ways-of-living-your-life as patriotism, the family, small government, self-restraint and stoicism. Why? Not because of their intrinsic worth. And still less because they lack foundation in invincible reality. But simply because cultural conservatives (note the imperative small ‘c’, given the Conservative Party’s awful example) have conceded the battlefield of language.

Stephen Colbert represented the worst of establishment liberalism

Stephen Colbert represented the worst of establishment liberalism

Gore Vidal remarked during the George W. Bush years that comedians such as Jon Stewart had become leading political figures because the Left lacked powerful “alternative voices”. The idea that late-night clowns could represent American liberalism struck the great author as an absurdity. “What do they have to do with it?” he asked, before answering his own question: “Bad jokes.”

‘The Story of Everything’ 2026

‘The Story of Everything’ 2026

The Story of Everything is a 2026 documentary addressing the question of whether or not science supports the possible existence of a creator God. Before I get too deep in the weeds of this review, let me say, I loved The Story of Everything. The Story of Everything is a polished, professional, engrossing documentary that any thinking person, including high school students, could enjoy. Please go see it in a theater if you can, and if you can’t, grab it up as soon as it appears in other formats. Its run is limited, and in the theater where I saw it, there was only one showing. Otherwise, I would have happily sat through this film three times. I was on the edge of my seat. I want a miniseries continuing the work of the documentary, complete with supplemental materials, including question-and-answer notebooks viewers can fill in to review, test, and reinforce all they’ve learned.

Five years after Kamloops graves announcement, not a single confirmed burial site has been found. Here’s what we know

Five years after Kamloops graves announcement, not a single confirmed burial site has been found. Here’s what we know

It’s been five years since the Tk’emlups te Secwepemc First Nation announced that it had discovered hundreds of unmarked graves in Kamloops, B.C., using ground-penetrating radar (GPR). The announcement sent shockwaves throughout Canada and brought the residential school controversy to global attention. Then prime minister Justin Trudeau ordered flags flown at half-mast at all federal buildings and they remained lowered for more than five months, the longest period in Canadian history. But in the years since the announcement, the Tk’emlups te Secwepemc has walked back its initial claims about graves at a former Kamloops residential school. Here’s what we know about Canada’s graves controversy.

The prison lives of Sara Sharif’s parents

The prison lives of Sara Sharif’s parents

For those banged up in Britain’s high-security prisons, the reminders that life hangs by the thinnest of threads keep coming.

Earlier this week, a court heard how murderer Donald Gaote-Oueyeya stabbed the neck of a fellow prisoner in HMP Frankland.

Fearing that his victim, an alleged gangland boss, had ‘put a price on his head’, the 26-year-old fashioned a blade from a piece of cutlery and launched an attack ‘without warning’.

Ill-gotten gains

Ill-gotten gains

“Let’s go to where I stabbed this dude,” Robert Rundo tells the camera outside a convenience store in Queens, N.Y., wearing a backward hat and sunglasses as he aggressively chews gum.

In the short propaganda video for his California-based Rise Above Movement, which was posted in February, the native New Yorker is almost gleeful as he recalls the moment. In a detailed play-by-play of this “street warfare” incident, he describes how, in 2009, he battered and stabbed an alleged member of a Salvadoran-American street gang known as MS-13 over a territory dispute in his childhood neighbourhood. The camera shakes while the 36-year-old delivers his stand-up; the footage, which appears digitally altered to look gritty, is interspersed with images of him doing pull-ups with his shirt off and boxing in a gym. The video’s bland title, “Where I’m From: White Working Class Queens,” gives the game away in its opening text: “A fascist in the concrete jungle.” “Fascist” is clearly not meant derogatorily.


In Canada the CBC and its hate group allies have lead the moral panic over “Active Clubs” because it’s racist for White people to associate with one another.

The Two Britains on the Streets of London

The Two Britains on the Streets of London

Britain is no longer divided by ordinary politics. It has split into two rival nations which loathe each other, obey different moral rules and receive radically different treatment from the state.

Last Saturday’s rival demonstrations in London exposed that divide with unusual clarity. On one side stood ‘Unite The Kingdom,’ the event organised primarily by now-veteran nationalist campaigner Tommy Robinson. At this, thousands of people who are angry about immigration, national decline, and the feeling that their country is being transformed without their consent gathered in order to display their frustration and patriotism.

Ottawa cuts funding to activist group accused of anti-Catholic bias

Ottawa cuts funding to activist group accused of anti-Catholic bias

A Toronto-based activist organization accused of targeting Catholics and pro-life groups has lost its federal heritage funding for the first time since 2020 after MPs raised concerns the taxpayer-funded group was fueling political division.

Access To Information records show the Canadian Anti-Hate Network received nearly $700,000 from the Department of Canadian Heritage over the past five years before its latest funding agreement expired Feb. 28 without renewal.


This was Bernie Farber’s gang. I wonder if he’s given himself credit for helping create “The Silence”.

Hunter Biden went on Candace Owens’ podcast to reinvent as a political truth teller — but remains as delusional as ever

Hunter Biden went on Candace Owens’ podcast to reinvent as a political truth teller — but remains as delusional as ever

Hunter Biden is setting the record straight on cocaine.

Sure, he’s a crackhead, but that packet of booger sugar found at the White House in 2023? Did not belong to him.

He has been “verifiably” sober since 2019 — or so he told Candace Owens in an unlikely sitdown released Thursday. It was billed as a decency summit, with the right and the left coming together to show that it can be done in a civil manner.

But that didn’t make it any less delusional.

‘Canada is handing people over to ICE’: refugees rejected at border face US detention

‘Canada is handing people over to ICE’: refugees rejected at border face US detention

As each day in US detention passes, Markens Appolon can feel the life he had dreamed of slipping away.

The 25-year-old fled Haiti to escape the rampant gang violence that upended his university studies in economics, and planned to join family in Montreal.

But for the last four and a half months, Appolon has been incarcerated in a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility. He wonders how he would even begin to rebuild, if he is released.


Imagine that, Canada did the right thing. Pic from here.
