After the 1968 summer of riots, journalists, politicians, and sociologists spent many words and dollars trying to find and cure the “root cause” of the racial unrest. They failed, but eventually a solution did emerge. The root cause of riots turned out to be rioters. Peace returned to the streets once police adopted new crowd-control tactics and prosecutors cracked down on lawbreakers. Mob violence came to be recognized not as an indictment of American society but as a failure of policing.

New York Times Details Horrors of Trump’s ‘Muslim Ban,’ Ignores Victims of Jihad Attacks
The New York Times story opens with a scene of unmitigated horror: “On May 30, 2019, Mohamed Abdulrahman Ahmed should have been in class preparing for exams. Instead, neighbors found the gifted high school senior hanging lifeless from a beam in his home in the Dadaab refugee camp in northeastern Kenya. He had taken his own life.” Since this is the New York Times, it comes as no surprise that the ultimate culprit is none other than Donald J. Trump, and his nefarious “Muslim Ban” that his wise successor’s handlers have now consigned to the dustbin of history.
ABC: U.S. Like Post-War Germany, Antifa and BLM Violence Is Morally Right
Aside from ABC chief anchor George Stephanopoulos’s fiery exchange with Senator Rand Paul (R-KY), Sunday’s This Week was awash with ridiculous and repugnant pronouncements from their mostly liberal cast. Between suggesting America was getting over something akin to Nazism and proclaiming the extremist violence from the left was morally justified, ABC was out to normalize dangerous thoughts and behavior.

Prominent writer flees Portland after increased threats from ‘Antifa extremists’
Journalist Andy Ngo has told Sky News how he had to flee his hometown of Portland, Oregon after increasing threats on his life by “Antifa extremists”.
Portland has been one of the homes of intense Antifa rioters since the summer of riots in 2020 which saw several federal buildings sieged and destroyed.
“My hometown of Portland, Oregon is the epicentre of American Antifa”.

For Justin Trudeau, Joe Biden and Julie Payette provided welcome distractions from a more dangerous political problem
Where to start?
Justin Trudeau’s hand-picked governor-general resigned in disgrace.
Hours into his presidency, Joe Biden killed the Keystone pipeline project.
It adds up to a rocky week for the prime minister. And yet it could have been worse, for the big clouds of the past few days came with a political silver lining for the government. There are times when one storm does chase another.
Without Donald Trump’s much-awaited exit from the White House and Julie Payette’s unceremonious departure from Rideau Hall, Trudeau was destined to spend the week on centre stage, tied to a vaccine hot seat.
As birth rates fall, animals prowl in our abandoned ‘ghost villages’
Human populations are set to decline in countries from Asia to Europe – and an unusual form of rewilding is taking place
For many years it seemed that overpopulation was the looming crisis of our age. Back in 1968, the Stanford biologists Paul and Anne Ehrlich infamously predicted that millions would soon starve to death in their bestselling, doom-saying book The Population Bomb; since then, neo-Malthusian rumblings of imminent disaster have been a continual refrain in certain sections of the environmental movement – fears that were recently given voice on David Attenborough’s documentary Life on our Planet.
At the time the Ehrlichs were publishing their dark prophecies, the world was at its peak of population growth, which at that point was increasing at a rate of 2.1% a year. Since then, the global population has ballooned from 3.5 billion to 7.67 billion.

That Is So Gay! Facebook bans/unbans mention of UK beauty spot “Devils Dyke” branding it “hate speech”
Facebook apologises for banning users from mentioning National Trust beauty spot Devil’s Dyke after branding it ‘hate speech’
Facebook has apologised for issuing bans to people who mentioned the name of a Sussex beauty spot, branding it ‘hate speech’.
Users on community group Brighton People had been referring to Devil’s Dyke, a well known tourist attraction which has attracted visitors since the Victorian times.
But while they were innocently chatting about the spot, which has roads, pubs, restaurants and parks named after it, they say Facebook threatened them with bans if they continue to refer to it by its name, receiving messages suggesting they were using hate speech.
‘A bit like royalty’: Prince Harry mocked for condemning ‘attack on democracy’ in US Capitol
Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, found himself mocked on Twitter after he condemned social media companies for allowing the organization of the Trump supporters who stormed the US Capitol.
“There is no way to downplay this. There was a literal attack on democracy in the United States, organized on social media, which is an issue of violent extremism,” Harry said in an interview with Fast Company on Friday, referencing the January 6 storming of the Capitol, adding, “It’s hard for me to understand how the platforms themselves can eagerly take profit but shun responsibility.”
“This Is a Warning to Christians in All Parts of the World”: The Persecution of Christians, December 2020
The following are among the abuses inflicted on Christians by Muslims throughout the month of December, 2020:
The Slaughter of Christians
Nigeria: In a video that appeared on Dec. 29, Islamic terrorists executed five Christians. The footage shows five armed members of the Islamic State (West African province) standing behind five men dressed in orange suits, and on their knees with their arms tied behind their backs. The terrorists order each of the men to say their names and the hostages oblige, each adding, “I am a Christian.” One of the terrorists then says “This is a warning to Christians in all parts of the world and those in Nigeria…. Use the heads of these five of your brethren to continue with your ungodly celebrations,” a reference to Christmas. The five Muslims then open fire into the back of the Christians’ heads and kill them.
Douglas Murray: The Left can’t stop fawning over Joe Biden but I fear this won’t end well for America… or Britain
Any friend of America must wish Joe Biden well in his efforts to unite his country. But an honest friend must also admit that he starts his presidency in a truly feeble position.
Never mind that the US economy has in the past year been wrecked by the Covid pandemic, that unemployment has soared and that homelessness on a developing world scale is now visible in many American cities. There is also a simple question of competence.
On the day of the inauguration, former president Barack Obama tweeted a photo of himself and his former vice-president with the message: ‘Congratulations to my friend, President Joe Biden! This is your time.’
BONOKOSKI: Losing faith in Justin Trudeau ever again telling the truth
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau publicly vowed he’d attempt to convince U.S. President Joe Biden to change his decision nuking the Keystone XL pipeline.
I didn’t believe him for a second.
From the people ‘smarter’ than us… “We thought China could become more democratic. Instead, it is becoming totalitarian”
McCuaig-Johnston: We thought China could become more democratic. Instead, it is becoming totalitarian
China’s regime is often called authoritarian. It certainly has been that under Xi Jinping. But its recent programs of surveillance and repression show the characteristics of a totalitarian state, with technologies of which Hitler and Mussolini could only dream.
This is shocking given the expectation that decades of economic reform would bring liberalization and some democratic attributes. But Xi has turned his ship of state around. In the Economist’s 2019 Democracy Index, China’s regression resulted in a fall of 23 places in the ranking in one year. It is now near the bottom, below Iran, at 153 out of 167 countries.
Gee what a surprise! Canada’s China class is still selling this bullshit. Just like they push nation destroying mass immigration. They’ll do anything for their 30 pieces of silver.
Biden Rescinds Trump Order Banning Chinese Communist Involvement In US Power Grid
President Biden has revoked a Trump-era executive order that sought to keep foreign countries and companies out of America’s bulk power systems – principally entities associated with the Chinese Communist Party – as part of his “Executive Order on Protecting Public Health and the Environment and Restoring Science to Tackle the Climate Crisis.”
