Want to prevent future cases like Kyle Rittenhouse’s? Stop tolerating riots

The big takeaway of MSNBC’s Chris Hayes from the Kyle Rittenhouse trial is that we should not have a society where “political conflict is settled on the streets between people with guns.” Good idea — and fortunately, there’s a simple way to get that: Do not tolerate riots.

The forgotten point in the Rittenhouse trial is that he is not the only person who was in Kenosha that night and should not have been. Rioters were also there, burning down buildings , looting from stores, and lighting cars on fire. The second night of riots saw 37 arsons in a city with a population less than 100,000. Local businesses saw an estimated $50 million in damages.

FUREY: A fifth wave in Ontario? Seriously?

Ontario’s fourth wave of COVID-19 wasn’t as bad as the so-called experts had warned, but that’s not stopping the lockdown authoritarians from fear-mongering about a fifth wave and calling for more restrictions.

What Is an America that Holds Prisoners Indefinitely without Charging Them?

The U.S. is facing a serious constitutional crisis over the handling of the cases of defendants in the Jan. 6 so-called “insurrection” in Washington, D.C. to protest the presidential election modus operandi and the results. Those being held for many months without a trial are being denied their habeas corpus rights under the U.S. Constitution and even dating back to English law hundreds of years before our Constitution was implemented. Not only are they being incarcerated without having had a trial, but there is some evidence that they are being mistreated or are being held 23 hours a day in solitary confinement, which is a punishment accorded only the most dangerous criminals, such as serial killers and terrorists.

Sen. Johnson Probes FBI Aerial Surveillance After Rittenhouse Defense Suspects Foul Play In Kenosha Case

“Given the FBI’s apparent use of surveillance aircraft during protests and unrest throughout the country, it is unclear how the FBI monitors those situations, how it preserves the footage from those aircraft, how it uses that footage, and whether the footage is captured at different quality levels,” Johnson wrote in his letter.

Open letter asks Big Tech to collude to censor climate change “misinformation”

Pressure continues from varied corners on Big Tech to make the climate issue the next big target of censorship on their global social media platforms, this time with the Conscious Advertising Network (CAN) chiming in.

An open letter from this group – whose manifestos center around things like anti-ad fraud, diversity, children’s well being, and misinformation – is demanding from Google, Facebook, Twitter, TikTok and other major tech companies, as well as those gathered for the COP26 summit in Glasgow (whose own legitimacy is undermined by major countries relevant to the climate problem snubbing it) to work together.

Second U.S. Aircraft Carrier Missile Target Spotted in Chinese Desert

The site consists of a single aircraft carrier target, miles from the nearest town in the Xinjiang region, according to photos provided to USNI News by satellite imagery company Maxar. The carrier target is about 300 miles away from a larger suspected missile range in the Taklamakan Desert, first reported by USNI News on Sunday. The two sites share similar characteristics and are aligned on a map with the carriers facing the same direction – as if in a convoy. Like the first, this new target shares the same dimensions as a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier.

What Trudeau, Singh’s Praise For Fidel Castro Says About Canada’s Future

In recent weeks, media rumours have been swirling in regard to a potential partnership between the incumbent Liberal Party, and the federal NDP Party.

While media has played their part in advancing the theory, NDP party leader Jagmeet Singh has poured cold water on the concept:

“There is no discussion at all of a coalition and that is a firm no for me. There’s not going to be any coalition at all,” Singh said when speaking to reporters. He blamed the so-called rumours on Conservative Party leader Erin O’Toole.

New JFK Assassination Revelations Raise Questions as Biden Refuses Declassification

Here in the capital city of France, so many people here have a tough time believing that the version of President John F. Kennedy’s assassination set in stone by the Warren Commission — the one concluding that assassin Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone when he fired a bullet with a debatable trajectory into a sitting American president from the sixth-floor window of the Texas School Book Depository 58 years ago. All you really need to know about French skepticism of official government narratives is that this is the country whose citizens still vividly recall the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in Ukraine in 1986 and the French government’s downplaying of the subsequent radioactive cloud that floated across France, despite the panic in neighboring Germany at the time.
