Iranian Mullahs’ Torture Epidemic: UN, EU, Biden Administration Continue Appeasing Anyhow

While the Biden administration and other members of the United Nations Security Council continue to push for the resuscitation of the disastrous nuclear deal — granting Iran nuclear weapons and global legitimacy — they have turned a blind eye to the mullahs’ ever-increasing violations of human rights.

Recently, a hacking group calling itself Edalat-e Ali (Ali’s Justice) leaked videos of Iran’s prisons, some of which revealed abuse, including beatings and other unspeakable treatment of detainees carried out by the Iranian authorities at the notorious Evin Prison, where political prisoners are held. “We will continue to expose the oppression,” that the Iranian government is “inflicting on people,” the group said.

Investigation into hacked “map” of UK gun owners

I suspect this would be the reaction in the USA.

Authorities are investigating after a map claiming to show the addresses of thousands of firearms owners in the UK was published online.

Gun-selling site Guntrader announced a data breach affecting more than 100,000 customers in July.

This week, reports emerged that an animal rights activist blog had published the information.

The group had formatted the data so it could be easily imported into mapping software to show individual homes.

Poland declares state of emergency on Belarus border over “migrant” surge

WARSAW, Sept 2 (Reuters) – Poland’s president has declared a state of emergency in parts of two regions bordering Belarus, his spokesman said on Thursday, an unprecedented move in the country’s post-communist history that follows a surge in illegal migration.

The European Union has accused Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko of using migrants from countries like Iraq and Afghanistan as part of a “hybrid war” designed to put pressure on the bloc over sanctions it has imposed on Minsk.

‘Anaemic’ Liberal brand fails to motivate Canadians to vote for majority, Maru poll finds

 

Trudeau may find himself in real trouble on Sept. 20, after a new poll has found that majority of Canadians may vote for a political party other than the Liberals.

The Maru Public Opinion survey found that 73 per cent of Canadians polled are open to voting for a party to run the country other the Liberals led by Trudeau, while a mere 27 per cent have remained loyal to the prime minister.

At least 17 people killed overnight in NYC, NJ during historic flooding

At least 17 people were killed across New York City and New Jersey — including a 2-year-old boy and his parents who drowned in a basement apartment in Queens — as the tail-end of Hurricane Ida ravaged the northeast overnight.

Eight died in the city after becoming trapped in flooded basement apartments and nine died in the Garden State, including five who were found in the same apartment complex.

I think reader Norman in New York lives in Queens.

John Ivison: Dry, retread Liberal platform is more good news for O’Toole campaign

Thank Billy for the swell pic.

There was a sense of relief in the Conservative camp when the Liberal platform finally landed on Wednesday.

One senior official said there were concerns about reports the Liberals were still looking for “big ideas”. Last week, my Radio Canada colleague Louis Blouin said Justin Trudeau was calling for ideas with “more juice” for his sales pitch to voters.

Taliban show off US-made armoured vehicles and weaponry during victory parades which even feature helicopter air displays

The Taliban showed off dozens of US-made armoured vehicles and weaponry during victory parades today.

One event, in the southern city of Kandahar, even featured a fly-past from a Black Hawk helicopter flying the flag of the Taliban.

The parades of the hardware, captured from Afghan forces during the group’s takeover of Afghanistan, were held just hours after U.S. President Joe Biden defended his decision to end two decades of American presence in the country.


‘It looked apocalyptic’: Crew describes Afghan departure

WASHINGTON (AP) — It looked like a zombie apocalypse.

For the U.S. military pilots and aircrew about to make their final takeoffs out of Afghanistan, the sky was lit up with fireworks and sporadic gunfire and the airfield littered with battered shells of airplanes and destroyed equipment. Stray dogs raced around the tarmac. And Taliban fighters, visible in the darkness through the green-tinged view of night vision goggles, walked the airfield waving an eerie goodbye.

Chinese newspaper claims Michael Spavor photographed ‘Chinese military equipment’

Any strong words Trudeau may mouth about China are to be taken with a very large grain of salt.

Michael Spavor, the Canadian citizen sentenced last month to 11 years in prison in China for espionage, is alleged to have taken photos and videos of military equipment and may have provided them to fellow Canadian Michael Kovrig, a Chinese state-run newspaper reported on Wednesday.

According to a report in the Global Times, a nationalist tabloid owned by the People’s Daily, an unnamed source said Mr. Spavor “was found to have taken photos and videos of Chinese military equipment on multiple occasions and illegally provided some of those photos to people outside China.”

Justin Trudeau Hardest Hit: China bans ‘sissy men’ from TV in new crackdown

BEIJING (AP) — China’s government banned effeminate men on TV and told broadcasters Thursday to promote “revolutionary culture,” broadening a campaign to tighten control over business and society and enforce official morality.

President Xi Jinping has called for a “national rejuvenation,” with tighter Communist Party control of business, education, culture and religion. Companies and the public are under increasing pressure to align with its vision for a more powerful China and healthier society.

The party has reduced children’s access to online games and is trying to discourage what it sees as unhealthy attention to celebrities.

Islamic State ‘Beatle’ to plead guilty to U.S. terrorism charges

WASHINGTON, Sept 2 (Reuters) – A British-born man who was a member of a team of Islamic State militants in Syria nicknamed “The Beatles” accused of beheading American hostages was due to plead guilty on Thursday to U.S. criminal charges, according to a federal court record.

A docket entry for the U.S. District Court in Alexandria, Virginia, showed a change of plea hearing was scheduled on Thursday for Alexanda Kotey, one of two Islamic State members who had been held in Iraq by the U.S. military before being flown to the United States to face trial on terrorism charges.

How much trouble is Trudeau in?

“Rock God” exposed as “Rock Head”

… The Liberal leader has won two elections – a majority in 2015 and a minority in 2019 – in part because he’s “always been able to rely on a certain amount of personal appeal,” said Shachi Kurl, president of the Angus Reid Institute, a polling non-profit foundation.

But an Angus Reid survey this week indicated a drop in popularity for the 49-year-old among voters of every age and gender, including women who have been his staunch supporters.

“Are Justin Trudeau’s days of enjoying unmatched political rock god status well and truly over?” the pollsters asked.

So what changed over the first half of the campaign?

“The Rock God” thing was largely a media creation.

Candace Owens Denied Covid Test by Deranged White “Progressive” Clinic Owner Over Politics

As much as I hate bringing race or gender into a conversation that shouldn’t have anything to do with race or gender, it seems like most times when a Black conservative is targeted over their politics, it’s a White female radical progressive who’s behind the attack. Among the worst of the batch are the “Covid Karens” out there who believe it is their sworn duty to the public to invoke their privilege and deny minorities access to their services.

COVID-19 vaccination rate must rise above 85% to avoid fall lockdown

New modelling released Wednesday by Ontario’s COVID-19 science advisory table says more than 85 per cent of the eligible population needs to be vaccinated to avoid a lockdown this fall due to the highly contagious delta variant.

The table said Ontarians also need to reduce contacts to about 70 per cent of pre-pandemic levels until vaccination levels are high enough to protect the population.

And… COVID-19 vaccine mandates for workers, offices remain popular among Canadians: poll
