Gazan propagandists rely on their leftist supporters’ ignorance

A recent tweet from the Quds News Network, a “youth news agency” supporting Hamas, purports to show a sniper’s bullet found in a Gazan hospital (i.e., a Hamas fortification). The fact that the photo is patently ludicrous means that the people behind the propaganda recognize that their leftist followers in the West are strikingly ignorant about how the world operates, which is kind of funny. What’s not funny is knowing that these profoundly ignorant people hold the levers of power in the American government, media, and entertainment world.

83 Million? The baffling case of E. Jean Carroll.

Donald Trump in furor stormed out of a New York courtroom for a while, in the defamation suit brought by author and dating/boyfriend/sex-advice columnist E. Jean Carroll.

It was just settled against Trump for $83.3 million. The Carroll suit was largely subsidized by Reid Hoffman the billionaire capitalist, and mega-donor to the Democratic Party and leftwing causes.

The Power of Ethnic Identity

Strong ethnic identities are often portrayed as a holdover from an older, irrational, pre-modern era. This is probably why contemporary international conflicts are framed as civilizational or ideological struggles. On this reading, the conflict between, say, Russia and Ukraine cannot be seen for what it really is: a bloody stand-off between Ukrainian nationalism and Russian imperialism. On the contrary, it becomes just one localized instance among many of a global struggle of democracy against authoritarianism, another example being the conflict between Hamas and Israel.

Such moralizing language is not always ill-founded. However, the undeniable ethnic inflections in these conflicts—also evident in the war between Armenia and Azerbaijan—testify to the fact that clashes of zero-sum nationalisms remain the primary cause of interstate wars. Every nation state that has collapsed since the 1990s (Yugoslavia, the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia) has disintegrated along ethnic lines.

White Minnesota Farmer Sues State Over Discriminatory Program

Now showing more anti white bullshit

A Minnesota farmer is suing the state over an agricultural grant program that discriminates on the basis of race and sex.

Oct. 7 Was Worse Than a Terror Attack. It Was a Pogrom.

‘Let me know of one Palestinian in Gaza who tried to save a Jew and maybe I’ll change my mind’

Eyal Barad was in the safe room of his home in Nir Oz for more than 12 hours on Oct. 7 while Palestinians went on a rampage of his Gaza envelope kibbutz, eventually kidnapping or murdering more than a quarter of its residents.

Every so often, Barad, 40, was forced to cover his 6-year-old daughter’s mouth with his hand to stifle her squeals. The little girl, who is autistic, thought the whole thing was a game. Most of the time, though, Barad was glued to his phone, watching the live feed of a camera he had recently installed outside his home to monitor speeding cars. Images from the feed, which I obtained, show Palestinian women and children—some appearing as young as 8 years old—taking part in the horror of that day.

How Muslim identity politics colonised education

British schools are being turned into political battlegrounds. A militant Muslim identity politics is mounting an ever-stronger challenge to their educational authority. Over the past few weeks alone, the Michaela Community School in north-west London has appeared at the High Court, having been sued for discrimination by a Muslim pupil over its decision to ban prayer rituals. And a few miles away in east London, Barclay Primary School has been under attack from Islamists and a few parents after it told children not to wear clothing or badges displaying some form of ‘political allegiance’ in school – a move interpreted as a clampdown on pro-Palestine symbols.

As war creeps closer to Armageddon, the end of days doesn’t seem so far away

According to the Book of Revelations, this is the mountain top where it will all end.

Armageddon. Or present day Megiddo. The place where, the bible says, international armies under the leadership of the Devil will wage war with the forces of God.

“And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon,” states the passage, adding with a flourish: “And the seventh angel poured out his vial [of God’s wrath] into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying: ‘It is done’.”

Trudeau’s brother Alexandre worked for Iran.

The highly anticipated public inquiry into foreign election interference is set to begin Monday, examining how countries like China, Russia and India may have tried to meddle in Canadian democracy.

Jack Mintz: Canada’s EV strategy has cost $4 million a job

With Canadian GDP per capita dropping like a stone, what would you expect our minister of finance, Chrystia Freeland, to say last week at the elite Davos confab? “Come to Canada! We have $135 billion to give you!” is what she did say. Given our poor investment performance, it seems the only way to attract capital is to offer billions of tax dollars to foreign multinationals.

First, De-Nazify Gaza

Do not do reward eliminationist hatred with sovereignty and international respect.

How many Nazis does it take to ruin a country?

The Nazi party never won a majority in a free German election. Yet their poison effectively contaminated the whole. There were resistance movements on a small and ineffective scale, but the society as a whole did what it was asked to do and beyond.

Need More Proof That Joe Biden Knows He’s Going To Lose in November? Here It Is.

As the November elections loom on the horizon, virtually every indicator points to a spectacular defeat for Joe Biden. He has the second-lowest third-year approval ratings of any recent president, and according to reports, Barack Obama is even telling him to drop out of the race. Things aren’t looking good for him at all, and with an increasingly vocal chorus from within the party telling him he can’t win, he’s getting increasingly desperate.
