This Article Is “Partly False”

Supposedly engaged in a struggle against misinformation, Facebook and its fact-checking partner spread their own.

At the end of a recent 800-meter race in Oregon, a high school runner named Maggie Williams got dizzy, passed out, and landed face-first just beyond the finish line. She and her coach blamed her collapse on a deficit of oxygen due to the mask she’d been forced to wear, and state officials responded to the public outcry by easing their requirements for masks during athletic events. But long before the pandemic began, scientists had repeatedly found that wearing a mask could lead to oxygen deprivation. Why had this risk been ignored?

Pentagon reportedly running secret army of 60,000 around the world

The Pentagon is running a 60,000-strong secret army made up of soldiers, civilians and contractors, who travel the world under false identities embedded in consultancies and name-brand companies — without the knowledge of the American people or most of Congress — according to a report.

GOLDSTEIN: Hamas has never wanted peace with Israel

Everyone wants peace in the Mideast, but there will never be peace between Palestinians and Israelis as long as Hamas controls Gaza.

The government of Canada (and many other countries) classifies Hamas as a terrorist group —“a radical Islamist-nationalist terrorist organization” that uses violence “to pursue its goal of establishing an Islamic Palestinian state in Israel.”

Erdoğan partially responsible for anti-Semitic protests in Germany- German minister

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is partially responsible for the anti-Semitic protests taking place in Germany, Joachim Herrmann, the interior minister of the German state of Bavaria said.

“These protests are predominated not by the far right, but rather by those who are Muslim oriented and provoked by the brutal speeches of President Erdoğan and others who believe that clashes must spread to the German streets,” Deutsche Welle cited Herrmann as telling German media on Monday.

Fatal police shooting of Andrew Brown was ‘justified,’ North Carolina DA says

The fatal police shooting of Andrew Brown Jr. by North Carolina deputies was “justified” because he posed “an immediate threat to others,” a local district attorney said Tuesday.

“This case clearly illustrates the officers who used deadly force on Andrew Brown Jr. did so reasonably, and only when a violent felon, used a deadly weapon to place their lives in danger,” District Attorney R. Andrew Womble said at a press conference.

Hamas ‘suicide submarine’ is obliterated in Gaza by an Israeli airstrike

Footage has revealed the moment a Hamas ‘suicide submarine’ drone was obliterated by an Israeli airstrike – and the crew operating it were ‘neutralised’ in their car – as bombardments on Gaza continue despite US calls for ceasefire.

Video taken from the air by Israeli aircraft on Monday shows two missiles smashing into the drone submarine and a huge explosion erupting in the shallow waters close to a tower block in northern Gaza.

Another piece of aerial footage then shows a car being tracked by overhead cross hairs before it is rocked by a blast which brings it to a swift and fiery halt. The IDF said the militants inside had launched the autonomous submarine.

Church of Sweden diocese proclaims itself ‘trans’ in open letter denouncing ‘narrow gender norms’

A Church of Sweden diocese has published a statement declaring itself transgender and condemning the media, ‘right-wing’ groups and even feminists for allegedly discriminating against people with different gender identities.

Published on the Vasteras diocese’s website, the declaration, titled ‘Personal letter to you who are trans,’ states that the Lutheran national church could arguably identify as transgender because of its diverse array of priests, employees and parishioners.

Washington Post Frets That Iron Dome Means Not Enough Israeli Civilians Are Getting Killed for Hamas to Win

For the past week, Israel and Hamas have been engaged in an energetic exchange of ordnance. The catalyst for the current rejuvenation of Hamas’ terror campaign against Israel is unclear but the reason it is happening now and not one or two or three or four years ago is crystal clear. Unhappy at inheriting a quiescent Middle East where Israel and the Arab world are developing economic, security, and diplomatic ties and Iran is so cash-strapped that it is finding it difficult to fund its terrorist operations, the Biden bunch is, in a flashback from the Obama administration, attempting to bolster Iran as the regional superpower while limiting assistance and cooperation with our Arab allies and with Israel.

‘A very different tone this time’: Canadian Jewish leaders warn of spike in anti-Semitic violence

Rocks were thrown at pro-Israeli demonstrators in Montreal. Masked men waving Palestinian flags surrounded and beat a lone middle-aged Jewish man near Toronto’s Nathan Phillips Square. And Jewish communities in western Canada are reporting roving vehicles seeking out “Jews.”

We’ve all seen Swastikas at Pallie Protests over the years and worse, it’s really nothing new.

Increased violence? OK, but I suggest the fault lies with our political class for tolerating Islamic anti-semitism over many years and demanding that we also tolerate it in the name of the sacred lies of diversity & multiculturalism.

But “votes” and “islamophobia” means it will continue to be tolerated, the pious bleating by politicians is just so much smoke.

As Iran’s Mullahs Incite Hamas Terrorism, Biden Administration Wants Sanctions Lifted

Amidst the Iranian regime’s clear role in inciting terrorism against Israeli civilians, talks to lift sanctions against the regime are advancing in Vienna. The Biden administration is apparently offering even more concessions and sanctions relief to Iran’s leaders, concessions that “go beyond the nuclear-specific sanctions.”

Meanwhile, these leaders from Iran are openly encouraging Hamas to launch more rockets at a longtime US ally in the Middle East, Israel. Additionally, the head of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Quds Force, Esmail Ghaani, in a phone call with Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, recently applauded Hamas for its attacks.

Swedish Police Gearing Up for ‘Everybody Draw Muhammad Day’ by Quran-Burning Politician

Danish-Swedish politician and Islam critic Rasmus Paludan is planning to hold a Prophet Muhammad drawing contest in the Malmö ethnic enclave of Rosengård, home to a substantial Muslim population.

According to Paludan, the time is ripe to draw attention what he dubbed “Everybody Draw Muhammad Day”. Paludan underscored that this occasion will be held for a second year in a row. This time, slightly fewer Danish cities will participate, but in return a Swedish city will also be taking part, he emphasised to the news outlet Nyheter Idag.

With Iranian support, drones are becoming a larger threat to Israel -analysis

An incident on Tuesday where a UAV was shot down in northern Israel after it approached the Israeli border represents a growing drone threat to Israel. An Iranian drone flown from Syria’s T-4 base in February 2018 also penetrated the same area carrying explosives. Israel shot down the Iranian UAV with an Apache helicopter near Beit She’an.

Israel has had to contend with growing drone threats during this war in Gaza as well. By Monday, at least six drones had been shot down. Israel used Iron Dome for the first time in combat to take down at least one of the drones. An F-16 shot another down.

CNN’s Cuomo Claims Being Pro-Life Is About Racism and Jim Crow

With the Supreme Court set to hear a Mississippi case to challenge Roe V. Wade next session, CNN Prime Time host Chris “Fredo” Cuomo once again spit venom at those who were pro-life. He flaunted his ignorance of the pro-life movement as he suggested they didn’t understand science while also being pro-racism and akin to Jim Crow. And like a dunce, he claimed it was the Fourth Amendment that addressed the right to privacy.

Here’s how Erin O’Toole says he learned of a rumour about ex-top soldier Jonathan Vance in 2015

Opposition Leader Erin O’Toole learned of a rumour about ex-top soldier Jonathan Vance from a fellow military member, who heard it “from a third party,” O’Toole’s office told the Star Monday.

It was the first time O’Toole said how he came to learn of a rumour that he passed on to the Prime Minister’s Office for investigation in July 2015, when O’Toole was Veterans Affairs Minister and the Conservatives had named Vance to become the next chief of the defence staff.

O’Toole learned of the rumour at some point after the government announced Vance’s appointment in April 2015. The rumour was about Vance having had an inappropriate relationship with an officer and/or improperly sought to further her career while stationed at CFB Gagetown around 2001.
