Colby Cosh: The moral panic over 3D-printed ‘ghost guns’

From the wild west we bring you a funny case study in firearms news coverage: Global News, seizing on a remark by Edmonton’s chief of police, is sounding the alarm about “ghost guns” in the Alberta capital. Shooting incidents are at an all-time high in the city, and Chief Dale McFee is rightly keeping one eye on seizures of privately made guns, issuing a table of stats indicating the variety and quantity of the problem. The brief TV version of the story highlights the phenomenon of the 3D-printed gun, which can conceivably be made in a home workshop out of non-metallic polymers, raising the spectre of streets flooded with high-tech weaponry.

Former chief electoral officer calls for independent inquiry into Chinese interference in Canadian elections

Former chief electoral officer Jean-Pierre Kingsley is calling for an independent inquiry into China’s sophisticated strategy to interfere in the 2019 and 2021 federal elections.

Mr. Kingsley, who served in the post from 1990 to 2007, said it is disturbing that CSIS documents reveal Chinese strategy to influence Canada’s 2021 election and illegal methods to help favoured candidates in the two most recent campaigns.

Is China Losing Patience with Russia’s War?

China’s supposed peace overture is likely a product of its unease with how its junior partner in Eurasia has prosecuted the conflict.

For months, political observers have been confronted with growing evidence that the formerly durable consensus in the West around the need to support Ukraine in its defense against Russia’s war of territorial expansion is eroding. This developing trend has been met with both trepidation and jubilance, depending on the observer’s political affinities. The risks associated with drawing a potentially fallacious straight-line projection into the future notwithstanding, the trend is real, and no one can afford to ignore it.

Raquel Evita Saraswati and the new ‘race fakers’

Embellishing job applications is a well-honed skill. At the stroke of a pen, two months as an intern becomes four months in a junior position. Being in charge of paper clips is demonstrating leadership. The assistant to the regional manager becomes the assistant regional manager. But no matter how commonplace this exaggeration is, few of us go full Don Draper and make up things about who we actually are.

Motive, Means and Opportunity – did US and Norway sabotage Russian gas pipelines?

SEYMOUR Hersh, the Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist with decades of experience assessing intelligence for its credibility and accuracy, has published a detailed account of how the CIA, in collaboration with Norwegian partners in Nato, planned and executed the sabotaging of the Russian gas pipelines collectively known as Nord Stream 1 and 2.

The revelations have largely been met with silence in the MSM. A White House spokesman called the account ‘utterly false’. The Norwegian government said that one of the ships Hersh refers to as having participated in the operation was not in the position he stated it was.

Scott Adams Says White People Should ‘Get the Hell Away From Black People’

… The Dilbert creator is known for tweaking people and having an acerbic wit. He’s also a satirist. So we will, as usual, have to wait for the news cycle progresses to see if this was meant to be tongue-in-cheek or is genuine. In an already polarized nation, Adams’ comments are the red meat over which the blue media salivates. 

Speaking of which here’s the Daily Beasts Report – Fully Unhinged ‘Dilbert’ Guy Tells White People to ‘Get the Fuck Away’ From Black People

Pro-Trump cartoonist Scott Adams pulled the mask all the way off this week, declaring on his podcast that white people should “get the hell away from Black people” while labeling African-Americans as a “hate group.”

Adams, who has written the satirical office comic strip Dilbert for more than three decades, said during his Coffee with Scott Adams online video program that current polling proves that there is “no fixing” the current racial tension in America and that whites should live in largely segregated neighborhoods.

Grids Can’t Handle All the Solar and Wind Dems Want to Hook Up

Wind Turbine Scrap Heap

Biden is doing a victory lap over ‘green energy’ systems that won’t even be plugged in.

Surprise.

Our electric grids were shaky to begin with. They cover vast distances and are not being properly maintained. But then the Democrats come in with the brilliant idea of spending hundreds of billions on erratic and unreliable wind and solar which then delivers power erratically and puts a further strain on the grids. As the money gets shoveled out the door, unworkable and unfeasible green energy projects go out the door.
