Canadian “Journalists” Sign Anti-Israel Open Letter

HonestReporting Canada is alarmed to see Canadian journalists sign a partisan and one-sided anti-Israel open letter lobbying Canadian news organizations on how to cover the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

The May 14 letter entitled: “An open letter to Canadian newsrooms on covering Israel-Palestine” features the names of 1,539 people as of this writing, most who are activists and academics, but several who are from reputable news organizations like the CBC, Toronto Star, Globe and Mail, CTV News, Macleans, Yahoo News Canada, Chatelaine, Global News, IPolitics, etc.

Importantly, the authors of this letter are unknown, but the letter itself is blatantly tendentious, hypocritical and skewed, and its selective use of facts reflect poorly on those who purport to be professional journalists.

Fauci, the NIH, the Wuhan lab, bats, and COVID-19: Everything you need to know

Amid the search for the origins of COVID-19, two of the Biden administration’s top doctors, Dr. Francis Collins and Dr. Anthony Fauci, are adamant the National Institutes of Health did not fund so-called gain-of-function research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

But both men, the respective leaders of the NIH and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, also admit they don’t actually know what the secretive Chinese lab at the center of COVID speculation has been up to.

Cop bitten, older man beaten with stick during series of protests in downtown Toronto: police

Three people were charged after incidents at Saturday protests in Toronto concerning the provincial lockdown and the Israel-Palestine conflict, including a man accused of biting a police officer and another incident where a man was allegedly struck in the head with a wooden stick.

The first charge was laid during an anti-COVID-19 lockdown march that began at Queen’s Park on Saturday afternoon and snaked its way through many downtown streets.

Biting a cop? Now that’s rabid! As for the assault I am betting they will look for a way to blame the JDL.

Meanwhile in Jolly Old England…

“The inside story of Justin Trudeau’s ‘one-dose summer’ controversy” … Spoiler – The Idiot did it.

“The inside story of Justin Trudeau’s ‘one-dose summer’ controversy” … Spoiler – The Idiot did it.

OTTAWA — Some of the lines destined for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s speeches can take several days, and dozens of people, to put together.

Then there is a “one-dose summer, two-dose fall.”

How Liberals got to a line that launched a thousand mocking memes this week stems from an element of COVID-19 vaccine rollout spooking public health officials: what if not enough Canadians will take the shot?

And the line, it turns out, was conjured up by Trudeau himself.

Justin Trudeau won’t commit, but a top health adviser says Canada will need an inquiry into its pandemic response

OTTAWA—A post-pandemic review of how Canada handled the health disaster should be led by international experts and should look at both federal and provincial gaps, says a leading doctor who is working closely with the federal government on its COVID-19 response.

Dr. David Naylor, a behind-the-scenes adviser to the federal Liberal government as co-chair of the national COVID-19 Immunity Task Force, said in an interview with the Star a rigorous, independent examination of how the pandemic unfolded in Canada is necessary and should be “led by international experts so that we actually get a dispassionate review.”

Israel showed US ‘smoking gun’ on Hamas in AP office tower, officials say

Hamas and AP Office Tower

Israel shared intelligence with the US showing how Hamas operated inside the same building with the Associated Press and Al-Jazeera in Gaza, officials in Jerusalem said on Sunday.

Officials in more than one government office confirmed that US President Joe Biden’s phone call to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday was, in part, about the bombing of the building, and that Israel showed Biden and American officials the intelligence behind the action.

Air strike targets Hamas leader

The Israeli military says it has bombed the home of the political leader of the Palestinian militant group Hamas in a wave of air strikes on the Gaza Strip.

It released video of an exploding bomb which it said had hit the home of Yahya Sinwar, the group’s overall leader in the territory.

Israeli air strikes in Gaza killed at least 33 people early on Sunday, officials there said.

Militants fired rockets at Israel, with a new barrage on Sunday afternoon.

Will the U.S. Mine for Rare Earth and Exotic Minerals?

conservative estimate of the cost of a transition to “clean energy” is $1.7 trillion needed for mining of copper, cobalt, lithium and other rare earth and exotic metals and minerals. This transition will supposedly fuel electric vehicles (EVs) being cheaper than gasoline and diesel vehicles by 2027, and electric SUVs cheaper by 2026, according to BloombergNEF. Additionally, the International Energy Agency (IEA) in a new report found renewable installations for energy to electricity “soared to 280 GW globally in 2020, up 45% from 2019,” with “renewables (solar and wind) accounting for 90% of global electric capacity installations in 2021 and 2022.”

Some Latin American countries endorse Hamas’ violence against Israel. It’s shameful

While the Biden administration and several Latin American countries have rightly supported Israel’s right to defend itself from the more than 2,000 Hamas rockets launched against Israel’s civilian population, the reaction by other countries in the region has been pathetic.

The governments of Cuba, Venezuela, Argentina and St. Vincent — a small country, but one that occupies a seat on the U.N. Security Council — as well as Bolivia’s behind-the-scenes ruler Evo Morales have tacitly or explicitly supported the Iran-backed Hamas terrorist group.

There is a good reason why the United States and the 27-member European Union officially consider Hamas a terrorist group: It deliberately uses violence against civilians to achieve its goals.

A Woke CIA? Old News, Just ask hipsters Fidel and Che.

As backlash began to grow over the CIA’s recent recruitment videos, former CIA officer Bryan Dean Wright told Fox & Friends recently  that the agency had pushed “woke propaganda”:

“What happens when you hire a bunch of folks who are wokesters going out into the world that is not woke?… As an analyst, are they going to bring nuance to their analysis or are they going to bring any degree of unbiasedness to their job? Of course not. They’re activists now.”
