Adam Zivo: With Activist Judges on the Bench, We Can Expect Nonsensical Rulings Allowing Drug Use on Playgrounds

Early last year, British Columbia decided to decriminalize personal amounts of illicit drugs under the misguided belief that this would mitigate overdoses and deaths. While the drug crisis in Canada is horrific and drastic action is sorely needed, the decriminalization experiment has been an absolute disaster.

Deaths have only continued to skyrocket and public safety has rapidly deteriorated. Violent crime is rising, and discarded syringes and other drug paraphernalia have become common sights—including on playgrounds and other family-oriented spaces.

Supreme Court agrees to review Trump’s Colorado ballot ban in historic case

The Supreme Court agreed to take up whether former President Trump can be disqualified from appearing on Colorado’s ballot over his actions surrounding the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack, setting up a historic case that could upend the presidential election.

The justices’ order sets the case up to be heard at a speedy pace, with oral arguments scheduled for Feb. 8 and a decision to follow that could spark Trump’s removal from the ballot in states across the country.

U.S. set to allow Florida to buy drugs from Canada, officials here ‘deeply concerned’

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is set to allow the state of Florida to import prescription drugs from Canada, breaking a years-long logjam in a U.S. quest to access cheaper drugs from north of the border and heightening fears about the risk of drug shortages in Canada.

On Friday, the FDA released a decision saying Florida could “import certain prescription drugs from Canada if (it) will significantly reduce the cost to the American consumer without imposing additional risk to public health and safety.”

“It’s about time that the FDA put patients over politics and the interests of Floridians over Big Pharma,” said Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.

The first legal Vancouver pot shops opened 5 years ago. Some owners say business isn’t booming

When Mike Babins opened his legal cannabis shop on Jan. 5, 2019, he had a vision of where he’d be in five years — even if it was admittedly pie in the sky.

“I kind of thought I’d be on my private island in the Caribbean with people feeding me grapes, but that was a bit of a pipe dream,” he told CBC News from his Evergreen Cannabis shop in Vancouver’s Kitsilano neighbourhood.

Evergreen Cannabis was one of Vancouver’s first two legal pot shops to open that day. There was a lineup around the block and no shortage of enthusiasm from customers.

University of California Medical Prof Defends ‘Zionist Doctors’ Conspiracy, Calls for Investigation

Rupa Marya, a professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, argued in a recent social-media post that the presence of “Zionists” in U.S. health care may be harming patients and should therefore be investigated.

Marya’s comments came in response to a post from “anti-racist” activist and former Democratic congressional candidate Saira Rao.

“Realizing how many American doctors and nurses are Zionists and genuinely terrified for Palestinian, Arab, Muslim, South Asian and Black patients — even more than usual. And usually it’s bad,” Rao wrote in a New Year’s Day post on X.

Green Energy Waste Overlooked in Climate Agenda

Where do the mountains of broken solar panels and wind turbine blades end up?

The amount of waste piling up from solar panels and wind turbine blades can be measured in tons. And the industry is just getting started.

Almost all spent solar panels in the United States end up in landfills, and many first- and second-generation panels are already tapping out, well ahead of their anticipated 30-year lifespan.

Added to that will be an estimated 9.8 million metric tons of dead panels to deal with between 2030 and 2060, according to a study published in Science Direct.

The Epstein files have Prince Andrew in crisis

Duke of Diddler

He is facing the prospect of not one, but two docudramas raking over the humiliation of his Newsnight interview

Five days in, and 2024 shows every sign of being yet another annus horribilis for Prince Andrew. After — by his, admittedly reduced, standards — a triumphant Christmas, in which he processed to church at Sandringham with the rest of the British royal family and, bizarrely, an apparently rehabilitated Fergie, the cold clear light of reality has intruded once again.

How many more times will we be conned by crypto?

Why haven’t floating rate cryptocurrencies gone the way of the Beta recorder? Fifteen years of experience have laid bare their fundamental flaws.

They have no intrinsic value, offer little to no transparency, and anyone — priest or felon — can issue, operate or manage them. Sometimes we don’t even know who creates crypto coins. Their price is often driven by rumors on social media, and once users lose confidence, with no government oversight, the only way to realize any value is to sell before everyone else does. There is no house, car, securities, company or tangible value to liquidate at the bottom of a cryptocurrency run.

Why Isn’t Vaxx Tyrant Joe Biden Worried About Polio, Leprosy, And Measles Seeping Through The Border?

Successful public health campaigns and medical advances have enabled the United States to conquer a range of disfiguring and damaging diseases. Polio, which paralyzed thousands of Americans annually, was wiped out by widespread vaccinations. In 1999 the nation’s last hospital for lepers closed its doors in Louisiana. A global campaign eradicated smallpox, while lethal tuberculosis, the “consumption” that stalked characters in decades of literature, seemed beaten by antibiotics. Measles outbreaks still occur from time to time, but they are small, local, and easily contained.

A new American subculture

In the early years after WW2, perception of the American human landscape took on a new meaning. For starters, millions of young men and many women were forever changed. At the time of Pearl Harbor, America was incredibly corny. Shirley Temple, Mickey Rooney, and Jackie Cooper dominated Hollywood. At war’s end, a disturbed sobriety ensued. It had then become understood that horrible things could happen. Combine this with the release of the nuclear genie…and there you have it.

The tyrannical cult of Greta Thunberg

This week Greta Thunberg turned 21. Yes, the diminutive doom-monger is a full-on grown-up now. The pint-sized predictor of End Times has passed the final threshold of adulthood. Once the world’s best-known petulant teen, never knowingly appearing in public without wearing the scowl of the self-righteous youth, Ms Thunberg has reached the full age of majority. She’s so old she could legally get pissed in America if she wants. Though that seems unlikely, given she once said she ‘would never go out drinking’: ‘I would never do anything… stupid.’ Her birthday party must have been a riot.

Did Charles Lindbergh sacrifice his son for science and then stage a monstrous cover-up?

Some time during the evening of March 1, 1932, 20-month-old Charles Augustus Lindbergh Jr was kidnapped.

The toddler was snatched from his cot in his nursery on the second floor of the family home in rural New Jersey while his father was downstairs.

A broken ladder was found nearby, along with footprints, tyre tracks and, on the windowsill, a handwritten ransom note which read: ‘BABY SAFE. INSTRUCTIONS LATER. ACT ACCORDINGLY.’

ISIS Issues Renewed Call for Murder of Europe’s Christians and Jews

The latest Islamic State call for the murder of Christian and Jewish civilians in Europe and the U.S. hardly comes as a surprise, given that it follows a long line of such terroristic rallying cries. But it is worth noting lest it become something we in the West accept as a normal state of affairs.

Hamas using ‘massive’ stockpile of Chinese weaponry in Gaza, says Israel

Chinese weaponry including assault rifles and grenade launchers is being used by Hamas to wage war in Gaza, Israeli investigations have revealed.

Stockpiles of hi-tech supplies uncovered by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) contained telescopic sights for rifles and cartridges for M16s as well as an array of communications equipment such as listening devices and tactical military radios.

Israeli investigators are now working to determine how the equipment made it into Hamas’s hands amid concerns Beijing may have been directly involved.
