Americans in the heartland only believe this summer’s Black Lives Matter protests turned 2020 into a uniquely violent year, because they “live in a Fox News/Newsmax/OAN bubble,” where stations played the same “violent outbreaks on a loop,” according to MSNBC and the New York Times.
President Biden has asked his intelligence agencies to step up their efforts to get to the truth about the origins of COVID-19 amid growing concern that it emerged from a Chinese laboratory.
A string of senior scientists have recently admitted they may have leapt to conclusions in assuming the virus jumped from an animal host in the wild to humans.
And at the weekend fresh details emerged about how staff at the Wuhan Institute of Virology sought hospital treatment for COVID-like symptoms in November 2019.
Greta Thunberg has ratcheted up her alarmist climate change rhetoric, warning of impending doom unless everyone stops eating meat. But her latest sermon was unappetizing to many.
In a sleekly edited video, complete with punchy music, the Swedish activist argued that the Earth’s ecological suffering could be greatly alleviated if humans stopped raising livestock. According to Thunberg, our “relationship” with nature desperately needs to change in order to end the alleged climate crisis – which she claimed is fueled in part by meat-eating.
… “In Canada, the Canadian Anti-Hate Network combats other hatreds from any quarter, but only deals with anti-Semitism if it emanates from white neo-Nazis. In the United States, the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai Brith was, up until 2015, known for its legal work to fight anti-Semitism. Then, a new progressive executive director took over, described by one critic as a “Democratic party auxiliary that is increasingly overshadowing and marginalizing its still vital role as the nation’s guardian against anti-Semitism.”
President Joe Biden’s administration shut down a State Department inquiry into whether the coronavirus could have spread out of a lab where the Chinese government was studying coronaviruses, CNN reported Tuesday.
Frankly I’m astonished CNN reported this.
To judge by the jubilant Palestinian celebrations that greeted the ceasefire that ended 11 days of fighting in the Gaza Strip, US President Joe Biden’s belief that the agreement presents a “genuine opportunity to make progress” on resolving tensions between Israel and the Palestinians seems naively optimistic.
Moreover, the same can be said of the president’s pledge to provide Gaza with humanitarian and reconstruction aid to help the Palestinian residents in the wake of the latest outbreak of fighting between Israel and the Palestinians.

Militant protestors marked the anniversary of George Floyd’s murder with yet another riot in Portland, Oregon — smashing up local businesses and trying to burn down the city’s Justice Center, according to police.
More than 200 rioters — most fully clad in black and many wearing gas masks — trashed the troubled City of Roses soon after a peaceful march ended late Tuesday, according to the Portland Police Bureau (PPB).

The Alberta government has introduced a revamped version of legislation that had given the province the power to restrict and control shipments of its energy exports as a means to “fight back” against other Canadian jurisdictions that oppose pipeline projects or otherwise block the province’s oil and natural gas.
The old legislation, which contained a sunset clause, expired last month with nothing immediately lined up to replace it – even though proclaiming the law was a key campaign promise of the governing United Conservative Party. The new version of the province’s “turn-off-the-taps” law will exclude refined products such as gasoline and diesel in a bid to shield it from future Constitutional challenges.
AI emotion-detection software tested on Uyghurs
A camera system that uses AI and facial recognition intended to reveal states of emotion has been tested on Uyghurs in Xinjiang, the BBC has been told.
A software engineer claimed to have installed such systems in police stations in the province.
A human rights advocate who was shown the evidence described it as shocking.
The director of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) apologized on Tuesday amid outrage from Palestinian groups after remarking on Israeli television that the IDF appeared “precise” and “sophisticated” when striking targets in the Gaza Strip.
Shortly after speaking with Israeli broadcaster Channel 12 earlier this week, Matthias Schmale was excoriated by the Hamas terror organization and other Palestinian groups who accused him of absolving Israel from the death of civilians during the 11 days of fighting that ended in a ceasefire last Friday.
Dear Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, premiers, mayors, university presidents and all Canadians of good conscience,
I write this letter today on behalf of Canada’s oldest grassroots Jewish community organization, B’nai Brith Canada, to our political and civil society leaders. In a broader sense, this letter is addressed to all Canadians.
France is cited as an example of things to come but Islam is never explicitly mentioned for some reason. If you don’t want to be France then you had better start talking about the Elephant in the room – Islam.

Government killed Granny!
GOLDSTEIN: COVID killed thousands because Canada ignored SARS warning, says report
Thousands of Canadians died during the COVID-19 pandemic because federal and provincial governments failed to heed the lessons they should have learned from the 2002-2004 SARS epidemic, according to a Fraser Institute study released Wednesday.
52 % of Canadians are afraid of normal…
Instead of celebrating, half of Canadians (52%) and Americans (49%) are anxious about going back to how things were before the pandemic.
Well, this isn’t going to help the corporate media narrative that “insurrectionists” inspired by President Trump’s rhetoric tried to overthrow democracy at the Capitol. Yesterday on ABC’s This Week, George Will said, “I would like to see January 6th as burned into the American mind as firmly as 9/11,” and I don’t think he meant as an example of agents provocateurs creating false flag incidents to discredit their political rivals.

A decade ago, Hina Shamsi was fighting on behalf of the Holy Land Foundation whose leaders had been convicted of providing material support to Hamas.
As the head of the ACLU’s National Security Project, Shamsi, a Pakistani citizen, had fought fiercely for the Islamic terrorists at Guantanamo Bay. “We all must pledge — not one person more in Guantanamo, not in our names,” she recently declared.
