The FBI and ‘Radical’ Catholics

New evidence suggests the bureau probe was wider than director Christopher Wray said.

Remember the tempest this year when the Federal Bureau of Investigation was found to be targeting some Catholics as “extremists?” The bureau cast it as the work of a single rogue field office. Well, it looks like the effort was more widespread than our G-men admitted to the public.

That’s the news from a less-redacted internal FBI document released Wednesday by the House Judiciary Committee. Chairman Jim Jordan wants more information from the FBI on how broad this investigation really was.

Gen Z will be last generation with white majority in US, study finds

Gen Z Americans – who were born between 1997 and 2012 – will be the last generation with a white majority and will give way to a post-2012 “majority minority” Generation Alpha, according to a new study of updated US census data.

That change – when non-Hispanic white people will fall below half as a share of the overall US population – should come around 2045, the study predicts.

Projections of the nation’s demographic makeup, including age structure and race-ethnic composition, also show that the fastest population growth is occurring among the older population while the youth population declines.

Massachusetts Declares a State of Emergency Over Illegal Immigration

Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey has declared a state of emergency over the illegal immigration crisis. Massachusetts has been considered a “sanctuary state” since 2017 when its court ruled that law enforcement officers could not arrest a person suspected of being in the country illegally unless criminal charges apply.

How the US weaponised the war on Covid

ON June 17 Sasha Latypova, a retired pharmaceutical industry executive, gave an interview to Jan Jekielek, a senior editor of the Epoch Times, about the military machinery behind the global Covid-19 response. Latypova told him: ‘So right from the start there was a huge deception going on. They’re treating it as war and they’re telling people it’s a health event. They’re covering up military activity with this representation of health event and a response to a health threat.’

China hacked Japan’s sensitive defense networks, officials say

In the fall of 2020, the National Security Agency made an alarming discovery: Chinese military hackers had compromised classified defense networks of the United States’ most important strategic ally in East Asia. Cyberspies from the People’s Liberation Army had wormed their way into Japan’s most sensitive computer systems.

The hackers had deep, persistent access and appeared to be after anything they could get their hands on — plans, capabilities, assessments of military shortcomings, according to three former senior U.S. officials, who were among a dozen current and former U.S. and Japanese officials interviewed, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the matter’s sensitivity.

Large numbers of Chinese illegal aliens are showing up in America

For all four years of Trump’s presidency, the Democrat establishment never let up: “Russia! Russia! Russia!”—as if a corrupt country with a dying population and a minimal industrial base was a threat to us. (The Dems never minded the very powerful Soviet Union.) Donald Trump tried very hard to get America to focus on the real risk, which is China. All the Chinese stories in the news of late show he was correct…and a new one has just been added to the list, which involves Chinese citizens (foot soldiers?) being smuggled into America.

China Recruits BLM to Protest for Slavery

Will the next race riots be Made in China?

Remember how Russia supposedly elected Trump using only the television ad budget of a failed congressional race in Amish country?

The Senate intelligence report actually found that “most of the videos” put up by Moscow “pertained to police brutality and the activist efforts of the Black Lives Matter organization”.

The Remaking of America

Every aspect of American life and culture is under assault

We are in the midst of one of the most radical revolutions in American history. It is as far-reaching and dangerous as the turbulent years of the 1850s and 1860s or the 1930s. Every aspect of American life and culture is under assault, including the very processes by which we govern ourselves, and the manner in which we live.

The Coldest War: Geopolitical Struggle in the Arctic

America has fewer icebreakers than China or Russia. Does that leave us vulnerable?

As melting ice opens up trade routes in the Arctic Ocean, the Far North is becoming another geopolitical battlefield between the United States and its adversaries. The U.S. Coast Guard has fewer ships able to puncture through the frozen sea than China or Russia, and some writers fear that America’s Arctic interests are becoming vulnerable to authoritarian expansion. Washington might end up like a nervous boy on a first date — unable to break the ice.

“Both Putin and Xi have made clear,” Sen. Roger Wicker (R-Miss.) said, “that the High North is key to their strategic interests.” Indeed, Wall Street Journal reporters William Mauldin and Alan Cullison have highlighted the authoritarians’ Arctic activity, including Russia’s increased presence in the region and Beijing’s use of its intelligence network to back Moscow’s activities in the area.

Interesting that these articles from the Spectator & the WSJ  mention Canada only in passing.

China is Preparing for War – Are We?

From reclaiming farmland and building ships to massive investment in foreign countries and in AI, all signs point to war readiness.

With annual inflation at only 3 percent in June, and second quarter GDP growing at 2.4 percent, it looks like a return to normalcy. With the S&P Index up over 19 percent year to date, and the NASDAQ Composite Index roaring at 37 percent, and total travel spending up 5.5 percent year to date through May, it is easy to think that while all is still not quite well, it has still gotten a lot better. But not quite so fast.

Chinese and Russian warships conduct ‘highly provocative’ drills near Alaska’s coast sparking US Navy to mobilize destroyers to lead rivals from American waters

China and Russia launched an unprecedented joint naval drill near US waters earlier this week, sparking a major response from the US Navy, officials have said.

Eleven Russian and Chinese ships steamed close to the Aleutian Islands in Alaska in a ‘highly provocative’ move amid escalating tensions with the US.

It is believed to be the largest such flotilla to have approached American shores.

‘O CANADA’ How Free Are Thee?

… Canada is governed by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. How “free” the glorious nation is, has come under debate, with critics accusing the prime minister of totalitarian tendencies on par with what U.S. observers have seen as similar to the U.S. Politicization of Canadian law enforcement and political agencies that have prosecuted critics of the national government, including dissenting clergy, and the crushing of national trucker protests in the frigid winter months in 2023.

US women have been knocked out of the World Cup! Rapinoe misses penalty kick!

Voted least likable.

In stunning fashion, the United States Women’s Soccer team has been eliminated from the World Cup after former co-captain Megan Rapinoe blew a penalty kick.

While the loss cannot be solely put on Rapinoe, who was playing in her last World Cup, the team was up 3-2 in the penalty kicks as she sailed hers wide.

Danger for American Gunmakers Emerges in $10 Billion Lawsuit From Mexico Blaming U.S. Guns for Violence South of the Border

A federal appeals court is weighing whether American gunmakers can be held liable for violence perpetrated south of the U.S. border, presenting a new threat to the domestic gun industry and raising questions over whether a law protecting manufacturers applies to complaints from foreign countries.

Mexico is suing several gunmakers, including Smith & Wesson, claiming that the companies designed weapons they knew could be easily modified by cartels to use for gun violence. Defendants say they have immunity, according to a federal law that protects manufacturers from legal responsibility for gun violence. Federal law and legal precedent limiting foreign lawsuits against American firms also pose a hurdle for Mexico’s case.
