Was the Covid theory about a Wuhan lab leak right all along?

It remains remarkable that ground zero for the Covid-19 pandemic was none other than the Chinese city of Wuhan — the world centre for the study and storage of exactly the type of coronavirus that caused the outbreak.

The city is a thousand miles from the areas in the southwestern province of Yunnan that have been identified by scientists as the likely bat virus breeding ground for Covid-19.

Yet of all the 662 cities in China, it was in Wuhan, more than a two-hour flight away, that the first cases emerged.

Inside the Chinese war machine plotting to transform Putin’s invasion

Support for Russia would boost the invading armies in Ukraine – and allow China to test weapons systems as it menaces Taiwan

As Ukraine faces down a Russian offensive – and lays the groundwork for an expected fightback of its own in spring – focus is once again turning to whether either side has the capability for a decisive breakthrough.

Despite mass mobilisation and a decision to pull increasingly elderly vehicles out of storage, Russia is still running low on the materiel it needs.

Analysts believe it is continuing to burn through an unsustainable number of artillery shells as it grinds forward around the devastated city of Bakhmut. Even supplies of Iranian kamikaze drones appear to have run short.

Can Justin Trudeau survive anything?

It’s been a sticky couple of weeks for Canada’s natural governing party, as the Liberals like to call themselves. Anonymous sources from CSIS, Canada’s intelligence agency, leaked information to two major Canadian media outlets, The Globe and Mail and Global News. The reports say China interfered in Canada’s two most recent federal elections, and that CSIS alerted the government, but that despite warnings the Liberals – who won both elections with a minority government – did nothing.

Massachusetts school faces federal investigation for ‘racial segregation’ after barring white students from auditioning for school play

A January theatre production out of Newton North High School has landed the school district under federal investigation by the Department of Education after the company barred white students from auditioning.

The Massachusetts school’s Theater Ink program put on a show titled ‘Lost and Found: Our Stories as People of Color,’ which according to the show’s audition packet acted as ‘a reserved safe space for this exploration and for people of color to be vulnerable and support one another.’

At the time of auditions last fall, the student director posted a video to the company’s website declaring that ‘All BIPOC [Black, indigenous and people of color] students at North are invited to audition.’

CSIS warns climate change lunatics threaten Canadian security

I’d start by tailing this asshole.

CSIS warns climate change threatens Canadian security, prosperity

Canada’s spy service warns that climate change poses a profound, ongoing threat to national security and prosperity, including the possible loss of parts of British Columbia and the Atlantic provinces to rising sea levels.

A newly released analysis by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service also foresees an increase in ideologically motivated violent extremism from people who want to speed up climate change solutions and those more interested in preserving their current way of life.

Wesley Wark: How to get serious about election meddling

The media’s attempts to expose alleged Chinese election interference has reached full throttle. Whether it continues will depend on three things: the on-going supply of leaks, how political parties react and, perhaps most crucially, how a just-released independent report on interference in the 2021 federal election is received.

The Greenness of Youth: Training Toddler Climate Activists

Speaking on the fringes of the 2023 World Economic Forum summit in Davos, which she no doubt reached via the environmentally-friendly method of boarding a large aeroplane, Princess Eugenie announced on January 24 that she intended to raise her baby son, August, in an entirely plastic-free household, which should be interesting when he comes to need his potty. According to Eugenie, “My son’s going to be a [climate] activist from two years old, which is in a couple of days.”

Inside the James O’Keefe ouster at Project Veritas

Why did the board force out their founder?

The old adage goes that there are two sides to every story, and the truth lies somewhere in the middle. There doesn’t seem to be a better way to describe the recent turmoil at Project Veritas, the conservative journalism organization known for its undercover sting operations. Project Veritas’s founder and CEO James O’Keefe resigned from his post a little over a week ago after the non-profit’s board of directors placed him on unpaid leave pending an investigation for alleged financial malfeasance and abuse of staff.

EV ‘Emissions’ and AM Radio

Tesla doesn’t give you what used to come standard in the lowliest Yugo or Chevette.

Everyone knows electric vehicles are silent. But did you know they are also silencing something?

AM radio is something you can’t hear in a number of new EVs — including Teslas and the 2023 Ford Lightning, the electric version of the popular F-150 pickup truck. The same is true for Ford’s Mach-E “Mustang,” the automaker’s first mass-market electric crossover SUV.

These EVs aren’t equipped to receive AM signals.

Girls report symptoms of poisoning across Iran

So far, more than 1,000 schoolgirls in 15 cities have reported symptoms consistent with those experienced by victims of toxic gas attacks. Girls interviewed by the state media say that they were suddenly overcome by a smell “of rotten fruit or rotten eggs or a strong perfume” and could barely breathe. Some say they passed out and had to be dragged into the fresh air by their friends. Others say they felt dizzy and sick. Many girls were taken to hospital.

Twitter’s Revenue Takes A Massive Nosedive After Advertisers Ditch The App: REPORT

Twitter’s revenue dropped by nearly 40% in December after advertisers fled in the aftermath of CEO Elon Musk’s acquisition of the platform, The Wall Street Journal reported Friday, citing sources familiar with the situation.

Twitter reported the year-over-year drop in both revenue and earnings in a message to the app’s investors, the sources said, according to the WSJ. The company is currently working to pay off the nearly $13 billion in debt stemming from Musk’s initial purchase, with yearly interest payments totaling approximately $1 billion.
