Banking, finance, cryptocurrencies, climate, racism, artificial intelligence, workplace robotics, global governance, and cybercrime. Are there any issues the unelected, private club that is the World Economic Forum (WEF) can’t tackle on behalf of the serfs?
LAS VEGAS, Nev. (FOX5) – The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department says a man was arrested in connection with an arson incident at a power facility.
According to Las Vegas police, at approximately 11:37 a.m. on Jan. 4, officers were notified of a “malicious destruction of property incident” that occurred at a power facility in the 10500 block of Highway 93.
Police say that employees advised officers that an unknown subject had broken into the fenced facility and set a vehicle on fire next to a transformer, resulting in damages.
Through the course of the investigation, LVMPD says its Counter Terrorism detectives identified the subject as Mohammed Mesmarian, 34.
A lack of clarity, previously mentioned by this author concerning the lack of clear direction and goals for the West’s involvement in Ukraine, also, if you consider its many contradictions, seems to extend to much of the Biden administration’s foreign policy.
The recently released Biden National Security Strategy points to the “acute threat” posed by Russia to United States national security. Yet the administration continues, with the support and encouragement of the European Union, its futile attempt to restart the “nuclear deal” to enable Iran’s expansionist regime to have as many nuclear weapons as it likes and the ballistic missiles to deliver them — and on top of that, using Russia, of all countries, as its proxy negotiator.
One can only wonder at how the Biden administration believes the U.S. can negotiate the nuclear agreement using Russia, a nation it labels as an “acute threat,” to work on a deal with Iran, a nation that it labels as a “persistent threat.”
Former federal finance minister Bill Morneau says that when it came to COVID-19 pandemic aid policy, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the top advisors in his office favoured “scoring political points” over policy rationales, leading to him feeling like a “rubber stamp” ahead of his “inevitable” resignation.
“My job of providing counsel and direction where fiscal matters were concerned had deteriorated into serving as something between a figurehead and a rubber stamp,” he writes in his new book, out on Jan. 17.
Germany: Activists make plans to save village from miners
Activists seeking to stop the expansion of a coal mine in west Germany were making plans on Sunday on how best to save the village of Lützerath. The village is scheduled for demolition to allow lignite to be extracted from beneath it.
The village, 40 kilometers (25 miles) west of Cologne, has become a center for climate protest in Germany, with activists saying the planned clearance of the village for mining goes against the country’s pledges under the Paris Agreement.
Police from the western city of Aachen estimated that up to 1,500 activists are currently in the village.
Police detain 32-year-old in town near Dortmund after tipoff from foreign agency believed to be the FBI
German police have arrested an Iranian man suspected of planning a chemical attack motivated by Islamic extremism.
The 32-year-old was seized at his flat shortly before midnight on Saturday in the town of Castrop-Rauxel, close to Dortmund in western Germany. The arrest followed a tip-off from a foreign intelligence agency that the man had obtained toxins, including cyanide and ricin, with which he planned to carry out a terror attack, authorities said on Sunday.
Another man, believed to be the man’s brother, was also detained. He was known to police but not for his links to terrorism, and it is as yet unclear whether he was involved in the plot.
A Canadian doctor who’s personally euthanized more than 400 people said she helped kill a man who was previously deemed unsuitable for assisted suicide.
Ellen Wiebe, a doctor who works with Dying With Dignity Canada, boasted in a seminar for physicians working in assisted suicide about the time she treated a patient who did not qualify for the end of life service.
A Medical Assistance In Dying (MAID) assessor had rejected the unnamed man because he did not have a serious illness or ‘the capacity to make informed decisions about his own personal health.’
One of the first major pledges of the Liberal government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau upon forming government in 2015 was to bring in a large number of Syrian refugees within a short period of time.
There was both political and public will to see this happen, as Canadians watched with concern as war in Syria caused a growing refugee crisis.
There was also public will not to see that happen.
“… Last November, a gunman killed five people and wounded 25 others at a LGBTQ+ nightclub in Colorado Springs, Colo., shining a new light on the dangers queer people face.”
Quality journalism. The gunman of the Colorado Club Q Shooting was a self-identified Non-Binary who uses ‘They/Them’ Pronouns but the article fails to mention this for some reason.
A customer fatally shot a robber in the head after he held up a Texas restaurant with a fake gun – and police are now searching for the vigilante who helped get the stolen money back to the patrons.
The robber, believed to be in his 20s, entered Ranchito #4 Taqueria in southwest Houston on Thursday night wearing a black ski mask and gloves before ambushing 10 customers and demanding their money at gunpoint.
Footage shows the shouting man wave what is believed to be a pistol around the restaurant, while customers drop to the ground and hand over their belongings.
Norway seems to be going down the road to the totalitarian control of non-progressive ideas. How does that differ from the Taliban?
When Islamist extremism and its progressive sister appear to be on different sides of the same coin.
And how does it relate to us?
We have become accustomed to hearing about phenomena of extreme persecution under the auspices of the rule of law, mainly from the countries of the Middle East. Afghanistan, which forbids women to walk alone in the street, Iran, where there is a “morality police” that beats women for not wearing the hijab properly, sometimes to the point of death. Then there is Saudi Arabia where women are required to show permission from their husbands to get married, work, or open a bank account, and so on.
Russia blamed its own soldiers after Zelensky’s devastating new year strike. It exposes the widening weapons gap between the two sides
At about midnight on New Year’s Eve a barrage of American-built Himars missiles smashed into a building packed with Russian conscripts in Makiivka, just outside Donetsk in occupied east Ukraine.
The Professional Technical School was not a well-chosen sanctuary: it stood out even on commercial satellite imagery as the most prominent building for miles around. Despite that, Russian commanders had filled it with recruits and apparently stored ammunition in the basement. They never stood a chance.
The Russian base in Makiivka is but dust. HIMARS have delivered absolute carnage. An expected response for the Russian Shahed terror attacks on New Years Eve and the newest reminder that no matter where Russians position themselves, they are not safe. #Ukraine #Donetsk #Makiivka pic.twitter.com/Pfguo4phIK

Hollywood’s “old boys club is dead,” writes the Free Press. “But a new one—with its own litmus tests and landmines—is rapidly replacing it. ‘This is all going to end in a giant class-action’.”
The outlet spoke to “more than 25 writers, directors, and producers—all of whom identify as liberal, and all described a pervasive fear of running afoul of the new [woke]dogma.”
The next step in narrowing Canadians’ rights may be justified by a government survey that eliminated the views of anyone opposed to the government’s attempts to squelch freedom of expression.
In a hair-raising precursor of what’s likely to come in this year’s online harms legislation, it was revealed this week by Jamie Sarkonak of the National Post that Heritage Canada officials intentionally torqued a public survey measuring support for its “National Action Plan on Combatting Hate.”
They did so by inserting a screening question that disqualified anyone who didn’t agree that the government should crack down on speech of which it disapproves—including via legislation patrolling and scrubbing the pages of newspapers.
The Trudeau government can’t be trusted to give the correct time of day.
Ana Montes – among the best-known Cold War spies caught by the US – has been released from prison after more than 20 years in custody.
The 65-year-old spent almost two decades spying for Cuba while employed as an analyst at the Defence Intelligence Agency.
After her arrest in 2001, officials said she had almost entirely exposed US intelligence operations on the island.
One official said she was among “the most damaging spies” caught by the US.
