Sierra Leone’s drug addicts stealing human bones that they grind up and use in new psychoactive ‘zombie’ drug

Armed police are standing guard outside cemeteries in Sierra Leone to stop drug addicts stealing human bones that they grind up to use in a psychoactive ‘zombie’ drug that is sweeping the country.

The president of the West African nation, Julius Maada Bio, yesterday declared a national emergency over an epidemic of the abuse of ‘kush’ – a highly addictive drug cocktail made up of marijuana, fentanyl, tramadol and formaldehyde.

It has also been claimed that a key ingredient is ground-up human bones, which some suggest is enhances the high due to the trace amounts of sulphur.

Not a faux suicide vest?

“Pronouns in Bio” – That’s what a commenter informed us. I’m leaning toward drinking her own bath water.

Frenchman’s Swiss naturalisation bid rejected for ‘mowing his lawn on public holidays’

Switzerland seems to have stricter citizenship laws than the rest of Europe; one man saw his naturalisation request denied for mowing his lawn during public holidays, allegedly disturbing his neighbours and the public peace.

The French resident of Clos du Doubs in the Porrentruy district was turned down at a communal assembly on April 3, Le Quotidien Jurrasien reported.

The unnamed 50-year-old from Paris has lived in the Swiss Jura area for more than a decade.

UK churches keen to host heavy metal bands

It was a “bonkers gig”, pairing heavy metal with a pipe organ – a musical curiosity that the bands thought would surely seldom be repeated, if ever.

But Pantheïst and Arð, the doom metals bands who performed the concert at Huddersfield town hall last year, have been inundated with requests to repeat the performance – with churches leading the way.

“We thought that churches would look at it as slightly heretical, – having a metal band playing in church – but that wasn’t the case at all,” said Mark Mynett, a senior lecturer in music production at Huddersfield University. “They really embraced this bold new world – some of them talked about bringing a new audience into church.”

NYC subway station still ‘crack den’ a year after Post report — with needles galore, half-naked addicts roaming poop-covered platforms

Nearly a year after The Post reported junkies turned the 181st Street No. 1 train station into a shooting gallery, the transit hub’s conditions have spiraled further, with half-naked addicts roaming the human feces-covered platforms.

The Post observed this week a familiar scene of hundreds of needles and orange caps tossed by addicts onto the tracks at the Washington Heights station, while a man without pants covered in track marks stumbled along the uptown platform littered with sharps.

At opposite ends of the platform sat mounds of human feces.

Canada has become a safe haven for officials from Iran’s monstrous regime

Qasem Soleimani: US kills top Iranian general in Baghdad air strike

We only heard the man with blood on his hands speak twice: once, to correct his Persian translator, and later, to confirm that he understood the reasons for his deportation order.

This was Seyed Salman Samani’s third and final hearing at Canada’s Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB). His lawyer had requested that it be closed, but the IRB declined, and so I was among the three journalists who attended the virtual hearing last month. And in the end, IRB adjudicator Kirk Dickenson ordered Mr. Samani – Iran’s former deputy interior minister – to be deported from Canada.

Queen’s Park and Ottawa caught off guard by Ford’s delay of EV manufacturing in Ontario

Queen’s Park and Ottawa, which have jointly pledged billions in electric vehicle manufacturing subsidies, were jolted by Ford Canada’s move to delay domestic EV production.

Ford Canada announced Thursday it would postpone all electric vehicle production at its Oakville assembly plant by two years until 2027 due to softening demand.

That move came in the wake of the provincial and federal governments ponying up $295 million each in 2020 to boost EV production there. Neither the Prime Minister’s Office nor the federal industry department officials were given any advance warning of the car company’s decision, with officials learning of it in the news.
