Two years ago, Fethi Nourine of Algeria pulled out of the 2019 Judoka World Championships when his draw lined him up against Israeli Tohar Butbul.
History repeats itself, this time at the Tokyo Olympics.
The draw for the -73kg men’s division potentially set up a matchup between the ninth-ranked Nourine and No. 6 Butbul in the second round. So Nourine, once again, withdrew from competition.
American billionaire George Soros has donated $1 million to the Color Of Change political action committee (PAC), which campaigns for the US police to be defunded, according to Federal Election Commission’s recordings, obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. This is one of the largest known donations to a political cause by Soros this year.
The Color Of Change PAC, which calls itself the largest “online racial justice organization”, campaigns for the US police to be defunded, arguing that the institution has become obsolete and does not fulfil its function of protecting people, at least when it comes to black communities.
The Department of Foreign Affairs spoke highly of Cuba’s Communist government, praising the government for “strong commitment to economic and social rights” in a briefing note obtained by Blacklock’s Reporter.
How did fanatics take over our bureaucracy? Why did we let them?
Leaked presentations reveal that Canada won’t have a national Covid-19 vaccine passport system until December 2021, at the earliest. A total lack of national infrastructure, however, means that could be delayed even further.
The internal PowerPoint presentation, prepared by the Treasury Board of Canada, reveals that even more than a year after the global pandemic hit, Canada still lags other countries in developing a system to issue and recognize proof of immunity to Covid-19.

About 100 CIA officers and family members are among about 200 US officials and kin sickened by “Havana syndrome”, the CIA director, William Burns, said on Thursday, referring to the mysterious set of ailments that include migraines and dizziness.
Burns, tapped by Joe Biden as the first career diplomat to serve as CIA chief, said in a National Public Radio interview that he had bolstered his agency’s efforts to determine the cause of the syndrome and what is responsible.
Over two dozen people were killed during the Antifa and BLM protests in 2020. It is routinely reported that “five people died as a result” of the Jan. 6 disturbance. This is a totally accurate statement, however, it is still misleading. Only one of the deceased died as a result of violence. She was actually murdered by a government official.
In its most recent display of absurdity, Twitter has suspended the Nation of Islam, but not for its history of racism against white people or anti-Semitism.
Twitter suspended the Nation of Islam’s account reportedly after it criticized COVID-19 vaccines. Meanwhile, the unverified account that appears to belong to Louis Farrakhan, the leader of the Nation of Islam, is still active on the platform. The account contains multiple pieces of disgustingly anti-Semitic and racist content.
OTTAWA – Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan told the military to create a position eventually filled by a reserve officer from his old unit who had been ordered suspended from the Vancouver police for an inappropriate relationship with a subordinate, according to newly released briefing notes.
Sajjan also wanted the military to upgrade the position less than two months after Maj. Greg McCullough was hired because the minister wanted even more support in his home riding in Vancouver, according to the notes, though that request did not become reality.
The briefing note comes amid lingering questions over how and why McCullough ended up in the unique position before his removal last month following revelations about the complaint and disciplinary action taken against him while he was a sergeant in the Vancouver police.
An FBI agent who has played a key role in the prosecution of more than a dozen ‘militia’ members who plotted to kidnap Michigan’s governor, was arrested on Sunday morning after allegedly attacking his wife following a swinger’s party.

A city violated the free expression of a church when it cancelled an event because of the participation of an anti-LGBTQ activist, according to a decision by the Supreme Court of British Columbia.
In a ruling that came down in support of free speech, Justice Maria Morellato said, “In a free and democratic society, the exchange and expression of diverse and often controversial or unpopular ideas may cause discomfort. It is, in a sense, the price we pay for our freedom.”
Pretty shocking, for Canada.
The Quebec government has refused to approve construction of a natural gas facility in the Saguenay, north of Quebec City, following years of opposition from citizens, Indigenous communities and environmental experts.
The decision, announced today by Environment Minister Benoit Charette, is all but certain to halt a $14-billion project that would have carried natural gas from Western Canada across Quebec to the Saguenay port, and then shipped it to markets overseas.
Premier François Legault’s government had initially been a proponent of the project.
Parkin probed by council for links between the cake and colonialism
It has been enjoyed as a Yorkshire delicacy since the 18th century.
But parkin – a cake made with ginger and treacle – will now have its international origins examined in a review of local cuisine launched to investigate links to the slave trade.
Connections between the cake and colonialism will be probed in research by Leeds City Council prompted by the Black Lives Matter protests, according to a report seen by The Telegraph.
Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos is being slammed for his “despicable” comments following his space flight Tuesday, in which he thanked Amazon employees and customers for financing his trip — including from many lawmakers who have urged the billionaire to pay his share of taxes here on Earth.
The show of appreciation by Bezos Tuesday to Amazon employees and the customers who “paid for all this” following his record-setting space flight did not dazzle the likes of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.).
