Caught on camera: Anti-Islamic group leader’s car is rammed onto its roof by woman after he burned a Koran outside Oslo mosque

This is the moment a car carrying the leader of a Norwegian anti-Islam group was rammed off the road after he staged a Koran-burning stunt outside a mosque.

Lars Thorsen, leader of provocateur group Stop the Islamisation of Norway (SIAN), was driving towards the capital city of Oslo on Saturday around 3pm when the attack happened.

Footage taken by anti-immigration activists from Alternativ Media riding in the car behind shows a grey Mercedes B-Class ramming Thorsen’s military-style jeep, sending it spinning off the road and on to its roof.

Carson Jerema: The anti-Poilievre left retreats from reality

Pierre Poilievre’s critics, specifically those on the left, are in a permanent state of hysteria. They have no reference point for a conservative who criticizes institutions, the “gatekeepers” that are, he says, keeping regular people from getting ahead. Nor can his critics reconcile the fact that Poilievre is appealing both to the establishment of his party, as well as to those who don’t usually participate in politics. A liberal who behaves like this is “doing politics differently,” while Poilievre is clearly a “populist” with an unsavoury agenda.

Link fixed. Alternate Link.

Is America about to break apart?

The institutions that used to unite this country now bitterly divide it

Here’s a fun fact: almost half of Americans believe that there will be a civil war in their lifetimes. Less fun fact: they could be right.

To observe the United States today is to watch a country that cannot get on with itself. Some people say that it has always been like this — that there was never any chance of a country as wide and big as America being able to agree on things. These people then point to the genius of the federalist system, and the way in which different states could have different arrangements within the union.

The Real Reason American Military Recruitment Is Failing

Who wants Joe Biden as his commander-in-chief?

This Independence Day, Americans’ minds turn toward those who fought and died for the country and the people in that country they love. These people were, are, filled with hopes and dreams and ideals — ways to live a free life. They dream of a family, a home, a business. They dream of building things and lives for the future. Those dreams only grow in freedom. In tyrannical governments, where graft and bribes and knowing the right person and rigging the system are the way of life, innovations do not grow. Fear is the operative emotion and self-protection is the chief goal. It is difficult to innovate with a government gun to one’s head.

Shireen Abu Aqla: US report on journalist’s death unacceptable, family says

Shireen Abu Aqla’s brother has heavily criticised a US report that concluded unintentional Israeli gunfire was likely to have been responsible for the Palestinian-American reporter’s death.

Tony Abu Aqla told the BBC the findings were “unacceptable” and insisted his sister was targeted by Israeli troops.

The Al Jazeera correspondent was shot in the head while covering an Israeli raid in the occupied West Bank in May.

Turkey: Erdoğan Fishing for Trouble in the Aegean Sea – Again

Turkey is a year away from presidential and parliamentary elections. Many Turks are starving. Literally. Their per capita GDP of around $9,500 has crushed many of them under a triple-digit inflation rate and a fast-depreciating national currency, while independent economists warn that this may be only the beginning of worse torment in a country of 84 million people, excluding 9 million refugees and migrants.

Many Turks, although starving, are nevertheless proud that they have a leader who can confront the “infidel West” — including their traditional rival and neighbor, Greece. It is precisely this feeling that President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, whose popularity has been plummeting in recent months, sees as a national weakness to stoke. Warmongering, the Islamist strongman evidently calculates, may convince the Turks to support revisionist bullying and ignore their misery.

Putin ‘is recruiting prisoners as cannon fodder’

Russia is recruiting prisoners to fight in Ukraine with the promise of almost £3,000 and their sentences being annulled if they come back alive after six months.

Inmates are being actively recruited in St Petersburg jails, according to independent media outlet IStories.

The convicts are told they will be put on the frontline to hunt down ‘Nazis’ in Ukraine in an arrangement that suggests they will be deployed as cannon fodder.

Who are ‘terrorists’ Turkey wants from Sweden and Finland?

Nato has formally launched the process to bring Sweden and Finland into its military alliance. But a key condition for Nato member Turkey is the handover of more than 70 people described by its president as terrorists.

The leaders of the two Nordic nations say they are taking the issue seriously, but ultimately extradition is up to the courts not politicians. So who does Turkey want and could they ever be deported to Ankara?

Canada’s Health Minister Urges Booster Shots Every 9 Months for Vaccine Status to Be ‘Up-to-Date’

Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos says Canadians should get a COVID booster shot every nine months so that their vaccination status stays “up-to-date.”

“What exactly do we mean by up-to-date vaccination? Let me be very clear: Up-to-date means you’ve received your last dose in the past nine months,” said Duclos in a press conference on June 30.

“If you’ve already received a first booster, that’s great, and please see if you’re eligible for a second or a third booster to remain up-to-date.”

Prominent Quebecers ‘alarmed’ by CRTC ruling that criticized Radio-Canada segment with ‘n word’

OTTAWA — A host of politicians, former and current Radio-Canada employees and journalism advocates are calling on the public broadcaster to fight back against a new CRTC ruling criticizing a radio segment that featured the “n word” four times.

In a radio segment on Aug. 17, 2020, Radio-Canada commentator Simon Jodoin and host Annie Desrochers spoke about a new petition calling for the firing of a Concordia University professor who created discomfort in class by reciting the title of a well-known political book by Quebecois author Pierre Vallières, “N—–s blancs d’Amérique” (White niggers of America).

How the Media Used Russiagate Conspiracy Theories to Create a News Cartel

In the fall of 2019, Facebook announced that it would be writing selected media outlets some very big checks. The launch of Facebook News was billed as a way to give consumers more access to information, but it was actually an attempt at appeasing big media companies.

Facebook, with its older and more conservative user base, had become the epicenter of election conspiracies from the Clinton campaign and its media allies. While Hillary Clinton and her associates were eager to shift the blame for her defeat by relaunching their existing Russiagate smears with false claims that Russian Facebook ads had tilted the election to Donald Trump, the media’s obsession with Facebook was even more corruptly self-interested.
