Idaho student murders: The things we still don’t know

Questions continue to swirl around the grisly slaying of four University of Idaho students found dead on 13 November, with no suspects named or arrests made.

The students are believed to have been asleep in their beds when they were stabbed to death.

Officials have reversed course on several aspects of the probe, including about whether the attack was targeted.

The case has been plagued by rumours and amateur web sleuths.

Canadian officials knew for years existing laws didn’t curb foreign influence

Canadian officials have known for years that the country’s existing laws did not cover foreign governments’ interference in domestic politics, documents reviewed by Global News suggest.

The documents were unearthed just as Canada’s public safety minister said the government was looking at ways to beef up its defence against foreign influence in domestic affairs.

California reparations board demands feds pay every African American NATIONWIDE at least $223k for ‘housing discrimination’, racial terror, stolen culture and climate change

A taskforce set up by California Gov. Gavin Newsom is urging the federal government to pay every African American in the US at least $223k for ‘housing discrimination’ – while continuing to probe other areas for compensation.

The nine-person group believes that black Americans should receive the money for ‘enduring the economic effects’ of racism and slavery – after initially making the suggestions in California.

It was created by Newsom’s legislation which he signed in 2020 and is the largest reparation effort in recent history.

Lawyers for “Freedom Convoy” organizers have won their bid to get access to unredacted versions of 20 documents at the Public Order Emergency Commission.

Biden’s Oil Deal With Venezuela Is Worse Than You Think

A week ago the Biden administration announced that it had approved an expansion of the license to Chevron so they could resume oil production in Venezuela.

This was a surprise given the administration’s hostility to fossil fuels in general and oil from Venezuela in particular.


The sad truth is that you can’t throw this in Justin’s face as the latest addition to his long list of failures because he considers it a victory whenever an ally gives up on Canada as a source of secure energy and instead opts to take their business elsewhere even if that means making a deal with a totalitarian regime.

Ukraine war: Germany to cover energy bills as gas prices soar

The air is warm and buttery as workers knead mounds of raisin-flecked dough inside the Kexerei bakery in Dresden. This is the busiest time of year but, like every other business and household in the country, the firm’s bills are going up, diminishing the festive cheer.

“Wages have increased drastically, energy costs have risen, as have the prices for our ingredients – butter has doubled in price,” says owner Matthias Walther. “I can’t pass all that on to the customers.”

It’s an issue that preoccupies the German government too. Wary of the impact on the economy, it’s spending around €300bn ($310bn; £260bn) on measures aimed at shielding people and industry from higher prices, particularly soaring energy bills.

Alex Jones files for bankruptcy after billion-dollar Sandy Hook court ruling

Rightwing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones filed for personal chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in Texas on Friday, according to a court filing, as he faces nearly $1.5bn in court judgments over conspiracy theories he spread about the 2012 Sandy Hook school massacre.

Jones was ordered by a Connecticut court last month to pay $473m in punitive damages on top of a nearly $1bn verdict handed down in October for his defamatory lies that the shooting was faked.

Will Swiss court action over vaccine injuries turn the worldwide tide?

CRIMINAL charges have been filed against the Swiss drugs authority on behalf of six people allegedly injured by the Covid vaccination. A team of lawyers and scientists have compiled a comprehensive evidence report and have made publicly available around 1,200 items of evidence, arguing that Swissmedic has created a risk to public health which significantly exceeds that of SARS-CoV-2.

They assert that the authority approved the new gene therapeutics, although the minimum standards required by law were never met, citing a lack of evidence as to the effectiveness of the vaccines, the failure to minimise the risks associated with that approval, and failing to protect the health of consumers. As a result, it is alleged, the public was misled by incomplete and untrue information about the actual benefit-risk ratio of the so-called vaccination.

Shamima Begum’s jihadi husband insists they were happily married despite her claims she was ‘groomed and trafficked’

Shamima Begum’s husband insists that their marriage was happy and they even spent time baking – as he paints a picture of domestic bliss in Syria, in contrast to the image she portrayed at her appeal to win back her British citizenship.

Begum, an A-star pupil at Bethnal Green Academy in east London, left Britain in February 2015, with two friends who are thought to have been killed in the conflict.

Yago Riedijk, a Dutch convert, was 23 and had been injured fighting for ISIS when he married the 15-year-old, days after she arrived in Syria.

Michael Higgins: Our veterans ask for help. They’re offered assisted death

We are going down a very dark road. Just how dark and bleak and utterly wretched that road is remains to be seen, but the glimpses we are getting reveals it to be verging on the edge of pitch black.

On Thursday, another Canadian veteran, Christine Gauthier, who is also a five-time world champion at the Paralympics, told how she was offered medical assistance in dying (MAID) as she tried to access care from the Veterans Affairs department.
