Prepared for the Fall?

Are we ready for the consequences of China’s collapse?

The most salutary and enduring effect Donald Trump’s presidency had on Washington was that it put the entire town into a new attitude of realism about China. While Trump conducted a phony trade war with China — one that he concluded by begging Chairman Xi to buy more soybeans from swing states — the rest of D.C. started noticing how belligerent China was on the world stage, with its “wolf warrior” diplomacy. Legislators started to put the screws to China and its multinational corporate partners for their participation in the oppression of Uyghurs in the Xinjiang region. The Biden administration kept many of the remaining anti-Chinese tariffs and then set about trying to cut China off from even participating in the future development of advanced microprocessors. Elbridge Colby became a fixture across much of Washington for his book, The Strategy of Denial, which outlined the seriousness of China’s military buildup and the limited resources the U.S. had to meet a potential threat in the Pacific theater. His book was respected if not exactly heeded, as the U.S. then recommitted itself to being the lead actor in European security.

Bill Gates and others behind massive deforestation scheme, for ‘global warming’ of course

We’re being held hostage by “green” megalomaniacs with man boobs, and CIA-linked eco-terrorists.

As reported by Joshua Philipp, investigative reporter and host of the Epoch TV’s Crossroads program, Bill Gates’s company Breakthrough Energy Ventures is a main player behind a new deforestation scheme. Per Philipp, Gates and “other investors” have contributed $6.6 million in a “stealth effort” to a California startup called Kodama Systems, which is offering a “novel” approach to the net zero agenda.

America Overrun, America Transformed

Overrun: How Joe Biden Unleashed the Greatest Border Crisis in U.S. History, by Todd Bensman, Bombardier Books, 432 pages

By the end of four years in power, the Biden administration will almost surely have admitted over 10 million illegal immigrants. Todd Bensman’s Overrun: How Joe Biden Unleashed the Greatest Border Crisis in U.S. History is an essential book for understanding this migrant maelstrom. Reading his analysis of the unfolding border catastrophe can be wrenching, even infuriating, but conservatives need to grapple with a historic disaster, and the valuable material presented in this important book.

Overrun is a fire-bell ringing in the night. A White House that erases national borders, ignores federal laws, and refuses to expel illegal arrivals is on a mission to fundamentally change the country. While the country’s situation is dire, even desperate, Overrun also offers crucial policy fixes, most notably the need to “tear down and rebuild the American asylum system.”

Race reparations are radical, divisive — and in Evanston, a reality

The Illinois city has become the first to compensate black Americans for historic wrongs, and it is not only Republicans who oppose the scheme, writes Will Pavia

The first time Louis Weathers heard the idea of reparations for black Americans, he did not take it seriously. “We were supposed to get forty acres and a mule,” he said. “I thought it was a joke.”

Forty acres and a mule was the promise made by General William Sherman in 1865 to the generation freed by the Civil War from slavery. It was not fulfilled.

Weathers is old enough to have known a member of that generation in his own family. “My great-grandfather was enslaved,” he said. He met the man, as a child. Still, he thought the idea of reparations was fanciful, even as it gained broader support on the left and became part of the fraught conversation about race in the United States.

We Cannot Say We Weren’t Warned

It might seem overblown to call this appeals hearing the Trial of the Century. It’s not. The ability of people in every society of the West to speak freely about what they believe is true is on trial.

Believe it or not, the Trial of the Century just happened in a courtroom in Helsinki. The Finnish parliamentarian and physician Päivi Räsänen this week returned to the dock to face hate crimes charges for having quoted the Bible in defense of Scripture’s teaching on homosexuality.

While it is not altogether surprising that yet another Christian has been brought up on charged of blaspheming against LGBTs—who have been elevated from ordinary people, as equal as anybody else, into liberalism’s divinities—a statement the Finnish prosecution made in the trial’s opening raised the proceedings from an ordinary example of post-Christian liberalism’s contempt for the faith and free speech, into something epochal. Attention must be paid.

Belgian Asylum Chaos: Thousands Left To Roam the Streets

“This will have deleterious effects in Brussels, and not just around the Midi Station,” Brussels Minister Alain Maron warned after the government decided to stop giving shelter to male asylum-seekers.

Hundreds of male asylum seekers are left stranded on Brussels’ streets after a ban on single men entering refugee shelters came into effect this week, despite several courts ruling against it. The move is seen as both inhumane and dangerous to public safety, The Brussels Times reported, as politicians warn the number of homeless refugees could increase exponentially.

It’s only been several days since the Belgian government announced the temporary ban on sheltering male refugees within the network of Fedasil—the agency responsible for the reception of asylum seekers in Belgium—but the effects can already be seen on the streets.

Proud Boys: From storming the Capitol for Trump to protesting drag shows

Members of the far-right Proud Boys are facing long prison sentences for their role in the attack on the Capitol on 6 January 2021. But that has not distracted the group from a new target – drag shows.

They started as a drinking club seven years ago, but quickly immersed themselves in street violence and culture wars.

After shooting to mainstream attention during the 2020 presidential campaign, they made up one of the main organised groups at the Capitol riot.

Scout – He’s a very good boy

Dog repeatedly escapes Up North shelter, sneaks into nursing home

BELLAIRE — He’d had enough of being at the animal shelter, so Scout the dog climbed over one tall fence and then another, crossed a busy highway in the darkness, entered the automatic doors of a nursing home down the road, walked unnoticed into the lobby, hopped onto a couch, curled into a ball and quietly went to sleep for the night.

An astonished nurse there found him the next morning. She called Antrim County Animal Control, whose shelter happens to be just down the road. And they discovered that he’d escaped from there the night before.

Taxpayers are funding criminality at ‘health centre’ drug injection sites

Supervised consumption sites cause demonstrably severe public disorder and crime, yet the organizations that manage them are often unwilling to admit this or do anything about it. This obtuseness seems inexplicable — until you consider that these organizations advocate for initiatives that blatantly normalize criminal behaviour.

In fact, some centres have purposely hired drug users and dealers to carry out some of their programming.

Canada is trampling on my God-given right to free speech

Justin Trudeau’s government – like his father’s – is at the forefront of the woke assault on our essential human liberties

As a professional, practicing clinical psychologist, I never thought I would fall foul of Canada’s increasingly censorial state. Yet, like so many others – including teachers, nurses, and other professionals – that is precisely what has happened. In my case, a court has upheld an order from the College of Psychologists of Ontario that I undergo social media training or lose my licence to practice a profession I have served for most of my adult life.
