The UK on Tuesday threatened to ban Twitter altogether and potentially jail Elon Musk if he violates their incoming “Online Safety Bill” by allowing free speech on his platform.

The Next Ten Battles

It is apparently much easier to tell the truth about state action the farther away it is from home. And hence even the New York Times seems alarmed at the covid lockdowns in Shanghai, and pretending as if nothing like that could happen here even though the whole practice of lockdown the world over was directly copied from the Wuhan model.

Why The Fuss When 99.7% Of Canadians Are Not Transgendered?

Trans-culture is big business. One of the leading promoters of the sex-change industry in America is Les Wexner, founder of a global retail empire that includes Victoria’s Secret and Bath & Body Works. On a political level, Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum is giant supporter. So too is billionaire banker George Soros. In Canada, PM Justin Trudeau leads the political charge.

Transgenderism is a cash cow for the fashion and cosmetics industries. As a result of gender dysphoria, Big Pharma rakes in billions. Studies prove that this segment of their market suffers from mental dysfunction far beyond the medium. To say nothing of the financial upside of hormone blockers and other trans-related medical procedures.

Canadians Need A Break From The Inflationary Policies Of Trudeau & The Bank of Canada

In what appears to be a near-constant event in Canadian politics going forward, the establishment is once again criticizing Pierre Poilievre:

“Cryptocurrencies are not a way to “opt out” of inflation and they will in no way replace the Canadian dollar, said the two main officials of the Bank of Canada in an apparent rebuke to Conservative Party of Canada leadership candidate Pierre Poilievre.“

Liberal-Funded “Anti-Hate” Activist Grilled Over Misinformation About Freedom Convoy

Conservative MP Dane Lloyd grilled an activist from the far-left Canadian Anti-Hate Network (CAHN) before a parliamentary committee this week, accusing the group of bias and for spreading misinformation during the Freedom Convoy.

CAHN executive director Evan Balgord admitted to the Commons public safety committee on Tuesday that his so-called research organization did not in fact verify a photo of an anti-Semitic flyer allegedly found at the site of the Freedom Convoy in Ottawa before CAHN chair Bernie Farber pinned it on convoy protesters.

Global Child Hepatitis Outbreak Sparks Concern: Warning Signs And What To Look For

Global health experts are puzzled over a recent onslaught of liver disease in children, warning a mysterious outbreak of pediatric hepatitis has been detected in the US, Europe and Asia.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a nationwide health alert last week that previously healthy children were suddenly developing hepatitis, or liver inflammation caused by a number of viruses.

WEF: A Trade Organization on Steroids

Words and their meanings are tricky things. Clever people, con artists, liars and CIA agents (which are all of the above, in my experience) are often very skilled at using language and manipulating both meaning and emotions to hide their true intent.

Jason Whitlock on Elon Musk & Twitter: We Are Looking At “Political Climate Change” And The Left Is Losing Its Mind

Jason Whitlock, the host of ‘Fearless’ on BlazeTV, expressed his delight in the panic that Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter has caused on the left, calling it an “incredible time to live,” in an interview with FOX News host Tucker Carlson on Tuesday.

“We’re looking at political climate change and the left is losing its mind,” Whitlock said. “They ignored the warnings from the tea party. They ignore the warnings from the MAGA movement. They ignored the warnings delivered in a big, powerful way on January 6th and now, they have to deal with the ramifications of that.”

Weary of many disasters? UN says worse to come

A disaster-weary globe will be hit harder in the coming years by even more catastrophes colliding in an interconnected world, a United Nations report issued Monday says.

If current trends continue the world will go from around 400 disasters per year in 2015 to an onslaught of about 560 catastrophes a year by 2030, the scientific report by the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction said. By comparison from 1970 to 2000, the world suffered just 90 to 100 medium to large scale disasters a year, the report said.

Top doctor says higher-ups were given fake vaccine cards

As Alexander writes in a substack article, “[Senior doctors and CEOs in US hospitals] were offered vaccine cards (fake) when they told their hospitals that they [did] not want the vaccine when they were mandated to take it, and the hospital leaders [said] they will not be suspended or fired… How come? Is it due to the lack of safety that these people know about?”

He continues, saying that this is extremely troubling and that senior officials were considered “too valuable to the hospital” to lose, hence the shady fake vaccine cards and mandate dodging.

The governments of the two European countries said on Tuesday that Russian energy giant Gazprom informed them it was halting gas supplies.

The suspensions would be the first since Russian President Vladimir Putin said last month that “unfriendly” foreign buyers would have to pay the state-owned Gazprom in rubles instead of other currencies.
