The New York Times’ partisan reporting lets Islamic extremists off the hook

A US paper of record’s podcast on the Trojan Horse affair is activism disguised as journalism

Anybody who has read The New York Times (NYT) recently knows the American newspaper of record has it in for Britain. Its correspondents describe us “cavorting in swamps” and surviving on a diet of “porridge and boiled mutton”. It reports that Brexit has ruined Easters and Christmases past and caused shortages of “candy”. Even the death of Queen Elizabeth prompted columns condemning the “repugnant royal demand for deference”.

U.S. to announce fusion energy ‘breakthrough’ … But they still have a long way to go.

The Department of Energy plans to announce Tuesday that scientists have been able for the first time to produce a fusion reaction that creates a net energy gain — a major milestone in the decades-long, multibillion-dollar quest to develop a technology that provides unlimited, cheap, clean power.

A Fusion Breakthrough That Could Change the World

… The reason we need fusion is to destroy the Malthusian belief system, which, in my estimation, is the preeminent threat to human civilization today. If one accepts the idea that resources are limited, then all nations are fundamentally enemies, and the only issue is who is going to kill whom in order to claim what’s available. At bottom, this was the source of the major catastrophes of the 20th century. It could cause far worse in the 21st. This mindset, however, is false. We are not threatened by there being too many people. We are threatened by people who think there are too many people.

Flood of Russian Crude Heads to Asia

After EU Ban Kicks In Almost 90% of Russia’s seaborne crude headed to Asia in the week to Dec. 9

Russia has all but ceased to be a supplier of crude oil to Europe.

A European Union ban on imports of Russian crude by sea came into force on Dec. 5, effectively closing off its closest oil market, which took roughly half the country’s supplies at the start of the year. With the exception of a small volume delivered to Bulgaria, seaborne flows of Russian crude to the bloc have halted.

Translated CBC – Be of good cheer Comrade! In the coming “Electric Soviet” you and your neighbor will be equally deprived of a personal EV!

Rush to electric vehicles may be an expensive mistake, say climate strategists

… For people with money and a conscience, EVs are doubly satisfying. They allow the affluent to indulge in the time-honoured pleasures of conspicuous consumption while at the same time saving the planet.

But for those who have looked more deeply at how the world can escape its dependence on oil and gas, the rush to replace existing gas guzzlers with a new fleet of clean, silent battery-powered personal transport leaves them uneasy.

… “EVs are here to save the car industry, not the planet, that is crystal clear,” said outspoken urban planning advocate Jason Slaughter in a recent email conversation. “Electric cars use batteries instead of gasoline, but they are still a horrendously inefficient way to move people around, especially in crowded cities.”

Once in awhile the mask slips proving that EV’s are the carrot and stick of the green-scam used to con a profoundly mislead public.

The rich will have EV’s but you and I won’t.

But cheer up Comrade! In the glorious “Electric Soviet” you will be offered the chance to stand in the rain and the cold waiting for what most certainly will be an overcrowded smelly “electric bus.”

Retired Navy SEAL Chris Beck says coming out as trans ‘destroyed my life’ – announces detransition

A retired Navy SEAL who became famous nearly 10 years ago after coming out as transgender announced he is detransitioning and called on Americans to “wake up” about how transgender health services are hurting children.

“Everything you see on CNN with my face, do not even believe a word of it,” Chris Beck, formerly known as Kristin Beck, told conservative influencer Robby Starbuck in an interview published earlier this month. “Everything that happened to me for the last ten years destroyed my life. I destroyed my life. I’m not a victim. I did this to myself, but I had help.”

Cause of Keystone oil pipeline leak still unknown, Calgary-based TC Energy says

Calgary-based TC Energy said on Sunday it has not yet determined the cause of the Keystone oil pipeline leak last week in the United States, while also not giving a timeline as to when the pipeline will resume operation.

TC shut the pipeline after more than 14,000 barrels of crude oil spilled into a creek in Kansas on Wednesday, making it one of the largest U.S. crude spills in nearly a decade.

Canadian Disabled Man’s Euthanasia Request Due to Poverty Approved

Death is increasingly seen as the answer to a variety of woes in Canada, with its euthanasia libertinism running truly amuck. This includes veterans being offered euthanasia for PTSD and a nursing home patient lethally injected because she did not want to be isolated during a COVID lockdown. There are also cases in which people ask to die because they can’t access prompt medical care from Canada’s socialized healthcare system, and one in which death was offered to a disabled woman rather than a stairs chair lift.

The Trudeau legacy…

‘Hundreds’ of Russian soldiers killed in Himars strike on holiday resort turned barracks

A salvo of Ukrainian Himars missiles fired against a Russian makeshift barracks has killed or wounded as many as 200 troops, Ukrainian officials claimed.

The volley of missiles was said to strike a recreation resort commandeered as accommodation by Russian forces in the occupied city of Melitopol.

The city’s exiled mayor, Ivan Fedorov, said the strike late on Saturday evening had overwhelmed hospitals in the city, with casualties being ferried to Crimea.

Electric vehicles run on subsidies

Electric vehicles don’t run on electricity so much as they run on government subsidies.

In Canada, this includes federal and provincial subsidies for consumers to buy electric vehicles and federal and provincial subsidies to EV manufacturers to build assembly and EV battery plants here.

Fearless prediction – EV ownership will be restricted to a select few as Canada will lack the power infrastructure necessary to cope with their mass usage. You will be offered a chance to wait in the cold for an electric bus in exchange for your ICE vehicle.

Cory Morgan: It’s Past Time Ottawa Began Taking Security Risks Posed by the CCP Seriously

It seems as if hardly a month goes by without another revelation of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) infiltrating or influencing companies and orders of government within Canada.

This month is no exception. It has been exposed that the RCMP had contracted an Ontario-based company with ties to the CCP to provide equipment related to police radio communications. The security and encryption of communications within a national police force should be rather important considerations. A company providing services related to anything so sensitive should be thoroughly vetted, yet somehow the ties between Sinclair Technologies and the CCP were overlooked when sourcing services.

Putin’s new strategy to win the propaganda war over Ukraine invasion

Long-range Ukrainian drone strikes on air bases hundreds of miles inside Russian territory on Monday and Tuesday demonstrated that Kyiv was willing and able to escalate the war on its own terms.

These attacks represent a serious military challenge for the Kremlin but are also politically convenient. They reinforce President Putin’s new message: that this is a national, patriotic struggle for the survival of the Motherland in which there can be no bystanders or backsliders.

U.S. Commandos Kill Two Islamic State Officials in Syria

WASHINGTON — U.S. Special Operations forces carried out a helicopter raid against the Islamic State in northeastern Syria early Sunday, killing two operatives, including one official who the military said was involved in plotting and enabling terrorist attacks.

The Pentagon’s Central Command, which oversees American troops in Syria, said in a statement on Sunday that the main target of the mission, an Islamic State Syria provincial official known by the nom de guerre Anas, was killed in the raid that took place at 2:57 a.m. in an undisclosed part of eastern Syria.

Iran: Protests and Paralysis

Almost three months after the current popular uprising against the Islamic Republic started in Iran, three things are clear.

The first is that even if the uprising hits an interlude to recuperate, as is often the case with such movements, it is unlikely to simply fade away. It has mobilized energies that cannot be tamed with time, and raised such hopes and expectations that even the most hard-boiled cynics in power won’t be able to disregard.

Next, most of those who have mobilized those energies, that is to say the thousands of young men and women who risked all to openly challenge one of the most brutal regimes in contemporary history, while knowing what they want, don’t know how to translate their desiderata into the cold political reality of securing and using power.
