China’s Belt and Road Being Built with Forced Labor

China’s Belt and Road Being Built with Forced Labor

“The entire Belt and Road initiative is based on forced labor,” according to Li Qiang, director of China Labor Watch. “Chinese authorities want the Belt and Road projects for political gain and need to use these workers.”

A new report, “Silent Victims of Labor Trafficking: China’s Belt and Road workers stranded overseas amid Covid-19 pandemic” by China Labor Watch, published on April 30, details the conditions of some of those overseas Chinese workers, who are building China’s Belt and Road infrastructure projects across the world. China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) forms a crucial part of the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) foreign policy and is a key tool in China’s ambition to become a global superpower.

Ontario schools will not return to in-person learning in June: Premier Ford

Ontario elementary and secondary students will not be returning to class in-person anywhere in the province before September 2021, Premier Doug Ford confirmed Wednesday.

After weeks of encouragement from the outgoing chief medical officer of health, a collaborative of epidemiologists and most local medical officers of health to return some or all schools to in-person learning in June, Ford said it just wasn’t worth it.

Hamas Shows Journalists a Damaged School That Appears to Have Been Hit by a Hamas Rocket

Last week, Hamas took journalists through a damaged school to show how horrible Israel is.

But note the pattern of tiny holes all over the walls.

That’s not how Israeli missiles work. Israeli attacks in Gaza are as pinpoint as possible, because Israel wants to avoid collateral damage. (Israel stopped using cluster munitions in 2006, although it is still criticized for exporting them to other countries.)

Britain braced for summer of migrant mayhem: Fears of ‘mob unrest’ by asylum seekers unhappy with their conditions after landing in the UK

Britain is braced for a summer of migrant chaos after more than 1,600 arrived across the Channel in the past month – more than double last year’s total for May – and 500 were brought in over the final four days of last month alone.

This is despite Priti Patel’s announcement of an immigration crackdown in March, and following an agreement with the French authorities to crack down and effectively stop migrant crossings by last spring.

But the Home Secretary’s vow lies in tatters this summer as Home Office sources blame the French for not doing enough to stop the crossings and intercept boats before they even set sail, despite being handed a £28million fund of UK taxpayers’ money to do so.

Why did the new Iranian navy build glass bottomed ships?

Iran Navy Ship Sinks after Fire in Gulf of Oman

An Iranian naval vessel sank in the Gulf of Oman Wednesday after efforts to put out a fire failed, but the crew safely disembarked, the navy said.

The fleet replenishment tanker Kharg had caught fire on Tuesday near the port of Jask on the Gulf of Oman.

The fire broke out in “one of the systems” of the vessel, a navy statement said without elaborating.

Firefighting efforts continued “for 20 hours” before the ship went down, it said.

UN calls on Canada to conduct ‘prompt, exhaustive investigations’ for residential school victims

WARNING: This story contains details some readers may find distressing. (Says CBC)

The United Nations Human Rights Office urged Canada on Wednesday to do all it can to find the Indigenous children that died at residential schools, calling for an “exhaustive investigation” to uncover the remains of former students that may have been left in unmarked graves.

Marta Hurtado, a spokesperson for the UN body, said the federal government must “redouble its efforts to find the whereabouts of missing children” in the wake of a preliminary investigation at the former Kamloops Residential School in B.C. that revealed 215 children were buried on the grounds.

The UN has zero moral standing.

High-security lab’s ties to Chinese military researchers should compel Liberals to provide documents: opposition

OTTAWA — Parliamentarians on Tuesday argued that collaborations between a Canadian infectious disease lab and Chinese military researchers raises critical questions of national security and said Ottawa should be compelled to provide more details about the facility’s operations.

Over hours of debate in the House of Commons, Conservative, NDP and Bloc Québécois members repeatedly called on the Liberal government to provide details as to why two scientists were fired from Winnipeg’s high-security National Microbiology Laboratory (NML) earlier this year, amid an RCMP investigation into the matter.

Outrage over landmarks named for residential school leaders grows as Canada grapples with colonial legacy

EDMONTON — After the remains of 215 Indigenous children were found at the site of a former residential school in Kamloops, B.C., calls to remove statues and rename landmarks linked to Canada’s colonial legacy are once again growing.

Across the country, landmarks once named for architects and key leaders of residential schools are adopting new identities as outrage over the disturbing discovery grows — a small reconciliation for those who have long advocated to remove these reminders.

Also – Calls grow to rename Ryerson institutions across Ontario

The statue of Egerton Ryerson in downtown Toronto at Ryerson University has been a flashpoint of controversy for some time. On Monday night, new paint splashed across the monument and spray-painted words called for action in response to the remains of 215 children discovered in unmarked burial sites in Kamloops B.C.

Ontario reports 733 new Covid cases … and variants are a risk

Ont. reports just over 700 new COVID-19 cases today as daily average drops to lowest level in 7 months

Ontario is reporting a daily COVID-19 case count of just over 700 today as the rolling seven-day average of new infections dips below 1,000 for the first time in nearly seven months.

Provincial health officials logged 733 new COVID-19 cases today, up slightly from the 699 reported on Tuesday but down significantly from the 1,095 infections confirmed one week ago.

Why COVID vaccination progress at home risks being undone by spread of variants abroad

Variants of the coronavirus sweeping through parts of the globe are a stark reminder that despite the increase in vaccinations in North America, there are still millions of people at risk of infection.

Allowing the virus to run amok in other countries also risks putting the entire world in jeopardy and losing any gains made through COVID-19 vaccinations, some scientists suggest.

That’s because the more opportunities the virus has to spread, the more likely it is to mutate, said Dr. Priya Sampathkumar, chair of infection prevention and control at the Minnesota-based Mayo Clinic.

China’s Xi may be screwing up as badly as Biden, maybe even worse

Many fatalists see America in decline and China ascendant.  China’s dictator, Xi Jinping, agrees in public.  But beneath the shiny new infrastructure, the amazing economic growth and competitiveness, China faces a reckoning, just as it prepares to mark a century of its Communist Party.

We can thank President Trump for the belated recognition that China is the most important strategic threat to the United States.  As little as two years ago, Joe Biden stupidly dismissed the idea that China was a threat

BLM Founder Patrisse Cullors, Marxist Abolitionist

She doesn’t want to just defund the police — she wants to abolish them.

Black Lives Matter founder Patrisse Cullors has been in the news a lot lately because of controversy over her income and financial dealings, including recent purchases of several new homes. Cullors lashed out at these criticisms by protesting, “The fact that the right-wing media is trying to create hysteria around my spending is, frankly, racist and sexist.”

How Facebook censored the lab leak theory

Its latest crackdown on ‘misinformation’ proves the tech giant hasn’t learnt its lesson

Facebook issued two statements in the past week relating to its treatment of “misinformation” — and they couldn’t have been more different.

The first was a single paragraph updating their policy on stories speculating that Covid-19 is a man-made virus — after almost every major media outlet, and yesterday even the British and American security services, finally confirmed that it is a feasible possibility.

Economist and director of the Bank of England John Maynard Keynes was a ‘racist’ who supported sterilisation and eugenics, trust claims as it tells visitors about the ‘darker side’ of Bloomsbury Group

Economist John Maynard Keynes held racist eugenic theories about human selective breeding, The Charleston Trust who run his country haunt have claimed.

Keynes, who died in 1946, gave his name to ‘Keynesianism’ – a branch of economics based on the belief that government intervention can improve economic conditions.

However new information provided to visitors via an app at his regular Sussex retreat, Charleston Farmhouse, suggests Keynes – considered a ‘left-wing’ thinker – subscribed to poisonous views that racial wars and global segregation would be needed to ‘protect our standard of life from injury at the hands of more prolific races’, the Telegraph reports.
