Americans fault news media for dividing nation: AP-NORC poll

WASHINGTON (AP) — When it comes to the news media and the impact it’s having on democracy and political polarization in the United States, Americans are likelier to say it’s doing more harm than good.

Nearly three-quarters of U.S. adults say the news media is increasing political polarization in this country, and just under half say they have little to no trust in the media’s ability to report the news fairly and accurately, according to a new survey from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research and Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights.

Why Does Xi’s Puppet Trudeau Fight The Implementation Of A Foreign Agent Registry? Maybe Because A Report By CSIS Says It Would Be An Obstacle To China’s Interference In Canada

China views Canada as a ‘high priority’ for interference: CSIS report

China sees Canada as a “high-priority target” and employs “incentives and punishment” as part of a vast influence network directed at legislators, business executives and diaspora communities in this country, according to a top-secret intelligence assessment from the Canadian Security Intelligence Service.

The report warned that Beijing is the “foremost perpetrator” of foreign interference in Canada. Its agents are unconcerned about repercussions, the report says, because of the lack of obstacles such as a foreign-influence registry of the kind established in the United States and Australia.


Justin has been harping about the potential dangers of a foreign agent registry because Canada is of course racist and we’ll probably use it to single out his ChiCom buddies and disrupt the China Grift. That sounds like the voice of Xi’s Puppet rather than a PM with the nation’s best interests in mind.

The continued exposure of China’s influence operations in Canada points to willful blindness bordering on collusion by the Trudeau government.

I maintain the ongoing exposure of China’s shenanigans may not be the work of a single leaker in CSIS and may in fact be a joint effort involving an ally or allies of Canada seeking to topple Xi’s Puppet because of the obvious security risk Trudeau and his party pose to the west.


PS. In the CBC article linked above detailing the potential harms of a foreign registry Trudeau references the internment of Italian Canadians during WW II. One small problem for Junior is that with a few unfortunate exceptions most detainess really were fascists.

The harm done by Justin Trudeau’s apology to Italian-Canadians might require an apology of its own

… Mr. Liberati compiled his own biographical database of the internees. He found police had detailed dossiers indicating involvement in fascist organizations for at least 100 of them. Even 500, however, represented a small fraction of the 3,500 Italian-Canadians known to have been members of local fascist groups.

“[M]any who later professed their loyalty to Canada had in fact been fervent Fascists and had maintained their positions even during their internment,” Mr. Liberati writes.


The spotlight is shining a little hotter on the Trudeau Family Business

Who is winning the scramble for Africa?

The West and Russia are stuck in the past

Reports of violence breaking out in Africa rarely raise eyebrows in the West these days. Perhaps we feel it has little to do with us, whatever the West’s historical responsibilities for the continent’s problems. But as the recent events in Sudan demonstrate, this is no longer the case. The turmoil unfolding there is of far more importance to us than we might think.

Revealed: secret files show Iran’s globetrotting killers have seized its economy

The Revolutionary Guard targets dissidents around the world

An Iranian general, Qasem Soleimani, was leaving Baghdad airport on January 3, 2020, when his car was hit by American guided missiles fired from a drone. There was little left of him or his entourage: his remains could be identified only by the ruby ring he wore on his left hand.

Donald Trump, then president, ordered the killing. Soleimani was the right-hand man of the “supreme leader”, Ali Khamenei, and commanded Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), a shadowy organisation accused of terrorising the West and targeting Iranian dissidents around the world. “He was the right fist of the Ayatollah,” Lindsey Graham, a Republican congressman, proclaimed after the missile strike: “We took the Ayatollah’s arm off.”

Election Integrity’s Biggest Threat: Big Tech

If I could show you some of the data that we collected, you would be astounded.

There is a lot more that we can find. The bottom line on this is going to be that the types of monitoring systems that we have been developing since 2016, I am pretty sure at this point that they need to be permanent, large scale, and operating in all 50 states to protect our free-and-fair elections from interference by tech companies, which can flip elections any and all ways they please without anyone knowing.

Tech will always be far ahead of laws and regulations, but monitoring is also tech. If we are monitoring them, we are doing to them what they do to us 24/7.

At last, an honest debate on race

THOSE plotting the West’s collapse hold a trump card: the Great Replacement. To give the Devil his due, they play it well. Porous borders, hate-speech laws and the cynical manipulation of Anglosphere kindness create a hostile environment for the diversity heretic.

In this climate, it pays to reabsorb the arguments which make the dissident’s case unanswerable, hence driven from the public square. Enter a new book, Never Say D.I.E.: Three Dialogues on Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity, by George Carroway, published by Imperium Press.

How Ben Goldsmith reached out to his daughter after her death

On an autumn afternoon in 2019, Ben Goldsmith sat in an armchair at a Dutch lady’s home in Fulham, southwest London. Beside him stood a table with a wooden tray covered in crystals and stones. The lady, whom we’ll call Eleanor, took the seat opposite him, picked up a crystal in each hand and closed her eyes. “There’s a girl,” she said. “My, she’s a strong character, and she has been very eager to contact you. She wants you to know that she’s sorry. I presume she is your daughter?”
