Starvation, Abuse: New Details Emerge About The Horrors Of Romania’s Communist-Era Orphanages

BUCHAREST — The fall of communism in Romania decades ago lifted the lid on the country’s infamous network of orphanages, shocking the world with images of dirty and underfed children, most dressed in rags, crammed in filthy wards, some of them chained to beds.

A special Romanian committee established to investigate the crimes of the era of dictator Nicolae Ceausescu, who ruled from 1965 to 1989, has determined that more than 15,000 minors — orphans, children with physical or mental disabilities, or those unwanted by their parents — died in orphanages and other residential facilities.

‘The media have become stenographers for terrorists’

Since Hamas’s attack on Israel on 7 October, the West’s identitarian elites have tied themselves in knots. The atrocities of that day ought to have challenged their simple-minded view of the world, in which Israel is always the evil aggressor and Palestinians are always the virtuous victims – even when they are Hamas murderers. But that hasn’t happened. Instead, the purveyors of identity politics, especially in the media, have doubled down. Many have gone out of their way to diminish the suffering of Israelis, while excusing the crimes of Hamas.

Did a South Carolina Imam Know the October 7 Attack Was Coming?

Ibrahim Dremali stated in 2021 interview that Hamas was planning a “strong surprise.”

Following the October 7 Hamas assault on southern Israel, reports came out claiming that Hamas had been planning the brutal attack for three years. This puts the spotlight on a South Carolina Muslim leader, Ibrahim Dremali, who, during a live interview, stated that Hamas was planning a “strong surprise” involving new rockets he said Hamas had obtained. If Dremali did know about this far-reaching act of terrorism – an act that included American abductions – perpetrated by a group found on the US terror list and whom he has a relationship with, prior to the attack taking place, this would make him an accessory to the crime in need of facing justice.

NDP calling on Liberals to establish special immigration measures to help Canadians with families in Gaza

As Israel’s ground offensive expands across the Gaza Strip, the NDP is urging the Liberals to immediately create special immigration measures to help Palestinian-Canadians reunite with family members from Gaza.

The measures would facilitate the evacuation of extended family members of Canadians and permanent residents in Gaza.

The Hamas-controlled territory has been targeted with Israeli airstrikes and a ground offensive since the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks, which killed roughly 1,200 people.

Just what we need more Hamas supporters.

With the Liberal Party’s public support dropping like a stone, political insiders say it appears the governing party is headed “for a crash,” and that it urgently needs to press the reset button yet again to try to change this trend, while others say the Liberals have “already crashed,” and the question has turned to whether and how they can recover from this slide.

“This looks like a party on autopilot moving towards a car crash,” said Nik Nanos, chief data scientist for Nanos Research, in an interview with The Hill Times.
