Western environmentalists are the useful idiots of the Chinese Communist Party, says a report from the Global Warming Policy Foundation.
China’s green credentials are often praised by Western environmental groups who apparently believe that China is serious about cutting its carbon dioxide emissions.
But according to a report by long-time China watcher Patricia Adams these groups are merely the dupes of communist propaganda
A British-Iranian academic has been sentenced to eight years in prison by a court in Tehran, his lawyer says.
Kameel Ahmady was convicted of “collaborating with a hostile government”, Amir Raesian tweeted.
One local news agency said he was given a nine-year sentence for illegally receiving funds from institutions trying to topple the Iranian regime.
Mr Ahmady is an anthropologist who has studied child marriage, female genital mutilation and sexuality in Iran.
On Twitter, author and attorney Michael P. Senger put together a well-sourced thread on the consequences of lockdowns. To be transparent, he is openly anti-lockdown and believes the lockdowns are a consequence of Chinese Communist Party propaganda to harm other nations. While the intentions of the CCP are debatable, the China threat to the United States and the West generally is not. Recently this was confirmed in a speech from a Chinese professor of economics and an editorial from America’s Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe.
First, even if the virus was not designed as a bioweapon, the CCP used it like one.
Critics chided the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and accused the group of “sexism” after it tweeted a call for Donald Trump to pardon Edward Snowden but not other NSA whistleblower Reality Winner.
“Pardon Snowden,” the civil rights non-profit’s Twitter account wrote late on Sunday. “Edward Snowden blew the whistle on illegal government activity kept secret for years,” the ACLU continued, adding, “Our democracy is better off because of him.”

Toronto health-care workers to receive first COVID-19 vaccines today
The first doses of Ontario’s massive COVID-19 vaccination rollout will be administered Monday.
Health-care workers are expected to get the first does of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine at University Health Network in Toronto.
They’re shocked that antifa attacks them. Reporters with The Oregonian, The Portland Tribune, freelance photographers, and a local TV station reporter and crew complain they’ve been attacked and/or threatened by antifa and Black Lives Matter activists at the so-called Red House Autonomous Zone. This is the spot along Mississippi Avenue in North Portland where armed insurrectionists have taken over a neighborhood to stop a foreclosure of a house – in a foreclosure that actually happened two years ago.
A few weeks ago, British philosophers Ian James Kidd and Matthew Ratcliffe wrote about “Covidworld, our new altered reality where accepted norms do not apply.” They note how the entire planet is captivated by COVID-19 as the one and only issue of importance. And they describe the “enormous and wide-ranging collateral damage caused by lockdowns and other measures.” Like many critics of the ongoing tunnel vision on SARS-CoV-2, I am concerned about the lack of proportion in our collective response and allege that this response is not backed by the facts about the pandemic.
As we try to come to terms with the extent of Chinese influence over the Biden family, a leaked database of registered members of the Chinese Communist Party has exposed a mass infiltration of American companies — with serious national-security implications.
Boeing, Qualcomm and Pfizer are just three US companies who have employed dozens of CCP members in their Chinese facilities, the database reveals.
Imagine how deep in the CCP’s ass Justin and the Liberal party are.
A working group of MPs and senators looking at ways to combat human trafficking sent a letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in March outlining concerns it had about videos being posted on Pornhub, the popular pornography website based in Montreal, and calling on the government to act.
In November the group wrote to federal Justice Minister David Lametti, making the same case.
Both letters went unanswered.

US Cybersecurity Agency Issues Emergency Directive Over SolarWinds Hack

Democrat Raphael Warnock was already struggling to beat back allegations of anti-Semitism, and then Linda Sarsour and Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib jumped into the Georgia Senate election picture.
The Georgia chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations [CAIR] plans to hold Sunday evening a virtual “vote-a-thon” aimed at encouraging Georgia Muslims to vote in the Jan. 5 run-off elections, an event featuring the Democratic congresswomen as well as Ms. Sarsour.
All three have expressed support for the anti-Israel Boycott, Sanctions and Divestment cause, and all three have been embroiled in recent years in headline-grabbing anti-Semitism controversies. All three deny being anti-Semitic or anti-Jewish.
The Seattle City Council said the proposal, crafted with input from local public defenders, would excuse suspects from minor crimes like theft, trespassing, or assault — but not in cases of domestic violence or driving while impaired, KUOW-TV reported.
“In a situation where you took that sandwich because you were hungry and you were trying to meet your basic need of satisfying your hunger, we as a community will know that we should not punish that,” Anita Khandelwal, King County director of public defense, told the station. “That conduct is excused.”
A “sophisticated hacking group” backed by the Russian government reportedly infiltrated the Department of Treasury’s systems and stole information related to internet and telecommunications policymaking as part of a broader campaign that also hacked the Commerce Department and other government agencies.
The FBI is investigating the attacks and is looking into the Russian hacking group APT29, also known as Cozy Bear, as a potential culprit, according to the Washington Post. The foreign-backed hack was first reported by Reuters.
As a result of the hack, the National Security Council held a meeting at the White House on Sunday.
The new rankings are driven in large part by countries in the Sahel, which is facing the fastest growing jihadist insurgency on Earth
Sub-Saharan Africa is now home to some of the world’s worst terrorism hotspots, according to a new index released today.
Seven African countries are among the top 10 nations facing the greatest terrorism threat, according to a ranking of 198 countries released by Verisk Maplecroft, a global risk consultancy, making the continent the worst performing region globally.
With the index’s worst possible score of 0 out of 10, Burkina Faso, Mali and Somalia rank alongside Syria and Afghanistan for the highest risk.
Cameroon, Mozambique, Niger and the Democratic Republic of Congo, all facing sustained violence from various jihadist groups allied to Al Qaeda or Islamic State, also rank among the worst affected countries in the world.
