Iran’s Proxy War Against Israel

The Iranian-backed Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) organization announced on May 11 that its members fired a burst of “Badr-3” missiles into Israel, killing two women and injuring dozens others. The announcement was made by PIJ’s military wing, Al-Quds Brigades, after the group and other terror factions in the Gaza Strip, including Hamas, fired hundreds of rockets into Israel within 24 hours.

The “Badr-3” missile is an Iranian-made missile that appeared for the first time on the battlefields of the Middle East in April 2019, when the Iranian-backed Houthi militia used it during the fighting in war-torn Yemen.

UK to require social media to protect ‘democratically important’ content

UK to require social media to protect ‘democratically important’ content

Social networks will be banned from discriminating against particular political viewpoints and required to protect “democratically important” content, the UK government has announced, as its landmark online safety bill finally heads to parliament.

The additions to the bill, based on a white paper first drafted by Theresa May’s government in 2019, would make the UK one of the first nations in the west to require social networks to take active steps to moderate their impact on the democratic process. But there are fears that the requirement could lead to social networks refusing to take action against harmful content in case it is decreed to be democratically important.

Truly Magical! Disney’s Critical Race Theory Training Turns to Pixie Dust Overnight

Last week, journalist Christopher Rufo broke the news that Disney was deploying employee training based on the principles of critical race theory. According to the documents he obtained, the company had some of the most explicit and divisive content based on the principles of critical race theory leaked yet. It posits black employees are fragile and not able to tolerate questions about their point of view.

Plant-based servicemen and women claim they are having to purchase their own ‘vegan leather’ Doc Marten boots because they refuse to wear the commissioned cow-hide clobber.

America Playing With Fire

America Playing With Fire

What used to be unimaginable is now taking place in America. We see certain aspects of totalitarianism in the United States: the obsession with race, declaring an ethnic group collectively guilty, shaming, humiliations based on ethnicity, lootings, arson, racist violence, intimidation of opponents, cancel culture, controlled dissemination of news, and indoctrination of children in schools. We see fake news, conspiracy theories, an overhaul of history, a new language imposed, and unprosecuted theft. All in the name of a more just culture.

IDF says it killed top Hamas commanders in joint operation with the Shin Bet, including close operatives to Mohammed Deif.

Israel was bracing for additional long-range rocket attacks after Hamas warned on Wednesday that it would avenge the deaths of its top commanders with special rocket barrages throughout the evening.

The commanders were killed in a joint IDF- Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) operation earlier Wednesday when the IDF said it carried out a series of targeted killings in Gaza City and Khan Younis, eliminating senior members of Hamas’ General Staff who were considered close to the head of the group’s military wing, Mohammed Deif.

GUNTER: It’s the COVID-zero zealots who will howl against reopening

Our COVID problem in Canada is very soon no longer going to be overcrowded hospital wards and crammed ICU units, it’s going to be the public-health purists. The COVID-zero zealots who will howl against reopening before cases are zero (or nearly so).

Already you can see this reluctance to reopen, this fear of a return to normal from the prime minister and Canada’s chief public health officer, Dr. Theresa Tam.

Justin Trudeau Xiangguo Qiu Keding Cheng – Everybody say Xi

Canada’s spy agency urged the removal of security clearances for two scientists who were later dismissed from the country’s top infectious-disease laboratory because of national-security concerns relating to their work with China’s Wuhan Institute of Virology, according to two sources.

As the Public Health Agency of Canada refuses to release uncensored internal documents, a Conservative MP says he wants to know how far Canada’s collaboration with China on Level-4 pathogens went — and why two federal scientists were let go by the National Microbiology Lab in Winnipeg in January.

“We need these documents. We need to know what the Government of Canada was doing through the National Microbiology Lab in Winnipeg with respect to cooperating with the Wuhan Institute of Virology in Wuhan, China,” Conservative foreign affairs critic Michael Chong said during a special parliamentary committee hearing on Canada-China relations Monday night.

Covid pandemic was preventable, says WHO-commissioned report

The Covid pandemic was a preventable disaster that need not have cost millions of lives if the world had reacted more quickly, according to an independent high-level panel, which castigates global leaders and calls for major changes to bring it to an end and ensure it cannot happen again.

The report of the panel, chaired by Helen Clark, former prime minister of New Zealand and Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, former president of Liberia, found “weak links at every point in the chain”.

No mention of China withholding vital information and not a word about the suspected lab leak that started it all.
