Pirates are stealing ships in California — and cops are doing little to stop it

Literal pirates are stealing boats out of marinas in the Bay Area, reported The Messenger on Monday — taking advantage of slow response times from police.

“CBS News Bay Area reports that thieves stole a 40-foot Sea Ray yacht from the Embarcadero Cove Marina. Steven Young, the ship’s owner, says that he spotted his stolen yacht a few days later, with the pirates still on board,” reported Zachary Rogers. “Young tells CBS News that he immediately called the police but was told that without a police report, authorities couldn’t do anything. Police reportedly never showed and it wasn’t until the insurance company called them that the boat was recovered.”

And by that point, the boat had been stripped of all its valuable items and instruments. It was so thoroughly trashed that the insurance company wrote it off as a loss.

MP Michael Chong testifies before U.S. lawmakers about being target of Chinese foreign interference

Conservative foreign affairs critic Michael Chong, a repeated target of Chinese government intimidation, told U.S. congressional hearings Tuesday that Ottawa and Washington need a co-ordinated response to Beijing’s concerted efforts to interfere in Western democracies and bullying of diaspora communities.

Mr. Chong received a rare invitation to speak to the Congressional-Executive Commission on China, an 18-member panel of Senators and House of Representatives that monitors human abuses in China and is examining Beijing’s global repression campaign.

Justin Trudeau and Doug Ford’s EV battery plant subsidies might not pay off for two decades, watchdog says

OTTAWA—It will take 20 years for the federal and Ontario governments to recover the $28.2 billion in subsidies they are pouring into new Stellantis and Volkswagen electric vehicle battery plants, according to a new analysis from Ottawa’s budget watchdog.

This “break-even timeline” looks at both factories, but the federal Parliamentary Budget Officer (PBO) noted Tuesday that it is “significantly longer” than Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s original claim that it would take less than five years to recover public dollars going to the Volkswagen facility.

Road To Nowhere

Kidnappings and broken promises on China’s ‘Belt and Road’ project.

Asqar Azatbek was in Kazakhstan near the border with China, ringed by soaring mountains and desert plains, when a car screeched to a halt beside him.

A group of men climbed out, ordering him to lie face down on the ground and hand over his passport. Within minutes, they bundled the 56-year-old Kazakh into the car and sped away into China.

“He was kidnapped violently by the Chinese,” said Gaukhar Kurmanaliyeva, Asqar’s cousin. “This is a major violation, as they didn’t have any right to take away a Kazakh citizen from Kazakh territory.”

The Colombian cartels come to Europe

Cocaine production in Colombia, Peru and Bolivia has boomed in the last decade, and so has its importation into Europe

In May this year 87,000 asylum applications were lodged with the European Union Agency for Asylum (EUAA). This was a 24 percent increase on the number of claims made in May 2022.

Syrians, Afghans, Ivorians and Guineans were heavily represented among those making claims, but there was also a remarkable number of South Americans. Over 7,000 Venezuelans asylum seekers arrived in Europe this May, along with 2,500 Peruvians and 6,900 Colombians. In the case of Colombians, this is a 90 percent increase on 2022. Most filed their asylum claims in Spain, and according to the EUAA, nearly all were first-time applicants.

A new study claims to find that sex-trait modification improves mental health. It does not.

A new study in the JAMA Network Open claims to find that testosterone therapy “significantly reduce[s] gender dysphoria, depression, and suicidality in transgender and gender-diverse individuals desiring testosterone therapy.” The study, titled “Early Access to Testosterone Therapy in Transgender and Gender-Diverse Adults Seeking Masculinization: A Randomized Clinical Trial,” is being celebrated by advocates of sex trait modification (STM) because it is the first randomized controlled trial (RCT) in this area of research.

Jericho is NOT a Palestinian Heritage Site Congress Should Block Any UNESCO Funding

Jericho

The deeply corrupt (here, here and here), highly politicized (here and here) United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) will vote later this week on declaring Jericho, an ancient Jewish city, a “World Heritage Site in Palestine.”

UNESCO is convening in Saudi Arabia from September 10-25 for its 45th session and to vote on new sites to include for its World Heritage List. The Palestinian Authority submitted a nomination of Jericho, which it wants to rename Tell es-Sultan.

CIA tried to pay off analysts to bury findings that COVID lab leak was likely: whistleblower

The Central Intelligence Agency offered to pay off analysts in order to bury their findings that COVID-19 most likely leaked from a lab in Wuhan, China, new whistleblower testimony to Congress alleges.

A senior-level CIA officer told House committee leaders that his agency tried to pay off six analysts who found SARS-CoV-2 likely originated in a Wuhan lab if they changed their position and said the virus jumped from animals to humans, according to a letter sent Tuesday to CIA Director William Burns.
