UFO shot down by $400K US missile may have been a $12 hobby balloon: report

One of the UFOs shot down last weekend by the US Air Force with a $400,000 missile may have simply been a $12 balloon belonging to an Illinois enthusiast club, a report said.

The Northern Illinois Bottlecap Balloon Brigade told Aviation Week on Thursday that it fears one of its diligently-tracked gasbags that recently went missing was mistaken as the mystery object taken out by the military over Canada on Saturday.

The Pico Balloon — a silver-coated, cylindrically shaped object — reported its last position at 38,910 ft. off the west coast of Alaska on Friday.

CSIS documents reveal Chinese strategy to influence Canada’s 2021 election by supporting Trudeau Liberals

China employed a sophisticated strategy to disrupt Canada’s democracy in the 2021 federal election campaign as Chinese diplomats and their proxies backed the re-election of Justin Trudeau’s Liberals – but only to another minority government – and worked to defeat Conservative politicians considered to be unfriendly to Beijing.

The full extent of the Chinese interference operation is laid bare in both secret and top-secret Canadian Security Intelligence Service documents viewed by The Globe and Mail that cover the period before and after the September, 2021, election that returned the Liberals to office.

No wonder Junior has been lying about about being briefed on CCP skullduggery, he was likely in on the plot. The LPC is a criminal organization that has reduced Canada to Banana Republic status.

Race Hate Is Official Government Policy

The Canadian and American governments have imposed blatantly racist policies and regulations on their populations. Dividing their citizens into “oppressors,” all white people, and “victims,” all BIPOC (black, indigenous, people of color) and LGBTQ2S (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, queer, two-spirit). They label whites as “privileged” and having “white rage” and “white fragility,” with “whiteness” being racist and evil. Government championing of “marginalized minorities” at the expense of the white majority is their claim to the moral high ground. This is their “progressive” strategy to gain total political power over their populations.

SBF could be locked up if he continues encryption use, judge declares

A Manhattan federal judge on Thursday suggested he’d lock disgraced FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried up pending trial if the accused fraudster continues to improperly use electronic devices while out on bail.

Judge Lewis Kaplan asked federal prosecutors and Bankman-Fried’s attorneys why he should allow the alleged crypto crook to return to his parents’ California house, where he’d be surrounded by unmonitored electronic devices.

He’s displayed enough arrogance to be stupid.

‘Freedom Convoy’ trial needs judge from outside Ottawa, Crown says

OTTAWA—The Crown wants an out-of-town judge to preside over the criminal trial of two main “Freedom Convoy” organizers, as one of them argues his charges should be stayed because the disclosure of a huge volume of cellphone records violated his rights to privacy and a fair trail.

The application for a judge from outside the capital — where convoy protesters staged a three-week occupation to denounce COVID-19 health measures last year — is meant to ensure there is no risk of “unconscious” bias in the case, said Dallas Mack, the deputy Crown attorney at the Ottawa courthouse.

Father killed by ‘violent chicken’

A grandfather was killed by his violent chicken that previously attacked a child, an inquest in Ireland has heard.

Cancer survivor Jasper Kraus, who was living near Ballinasloe at the time, was killed on April 28 last year after he was attacked by a Brahma chicken.

The 67-year-old Dutchman, formerly from The Hague, Netherlands, suffered a heart attack after the bird drove its spur into his leg, causing him to lose litres of blood.

Trudeau pledges more help for Haiti, stops short of suggesting military intervention

NASSAU, BAHAMAS – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced a slate of new supports for Haiti in the Bahamas on Thursday including humanitarian aid and some naval vessels to help with surveillance.

But he stopped short of proposing the kind of military force its de facto prime minister is asking for, as experts urge him to put the brakes on growing discussions of foreign intervention.

Trudeau told a meeting of 20 Caribbean Community leaders that Canada will provide $12.3 million in new humanitarian assistance for the crisis-torn country and $10 million for the International Office on Migration to support migrants in the region.

I am not certain our combat trannies could best the Haitian gangs.

15-minute cities are only the latest front in the war on cars

Municipal planning documents are typically only of interest to bureaucrats, developers wondering how the city’s going to make their lives more difficult, NIMBYs looking for ways to scuttle development and retirees with too much time on their hands. But a City of Edmonton planning document from a couple years ago has managed to take on a life of its own.

(Radiological) War by Other Means: A Dirty Bomb in Ukraine?

Fear is mightier than the sword, and few things stoke fear like a dirty bomb. So, it should have come as no surprise when Russia accused Ukraine of building a radiological dispersal device (RDD), possibly setting the stage for a false-flag attack. By manipulating widespread fear of radioactivity, such a device is a potent weapon of terror, and Russia has transformed it into an instrument of “war by other means.” To manage this, relevant chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) doctrine must also shift to emphasize public information and crisis recovery.

Great Salt Lake’s retreat poses a major fear: poisonous dust clouds

To walk on to the Great Salt Lake, the largest salt lake in the western hemisphere which faces the astounding prospect of disappearing just five years from now, is to trudge across expanses of sand and mud, streaked with ice and desiccated aquatic life, where just a short time ago you would be wading in waist-deep water.

But the mounting sense of local dread over the lake’s rapid retreat doesn’t just come from its throttled water supply and record low levels, as bad as this is. The terror comes from toxins laced in the vast exposed lake bed, such as arsenic, mercury and lead, being picked up by the wind to form poisonous clouds of dust that would swamp the lungs of people in nearby Salt Lake City, where air pollution is often already worse than that of Los Angeles, potentially provoking a myriad of respiratory and cancer-related problems.

This would never have happened if Donny & Marie stayed together.

Poll: Less Than Half Of Americans Support Shipping Our Weapons To Ukraine

As Russia’s invasion of Ukraine nears its one-year anniversary on Feb. 24, many Americans’ patience is wearing thin. A new poll by the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that American support for shipping weapons and tax dollars off to Ukraine is declining.

Less than half of Americans, 48 percent, now say they favor the U.S. providing weapons to Ukraine, with 29 percent opposed and 22 percent neither in favor nor opposed. This is a decline from May 2022, when less than three months into the conflict 60 percent of U.S. adults were in favor of sending weapons to Ukraine.

Fauci comes clean: We knew the Covid vaccine was never going to work

WHAT if Dr Anthony Fauci co-authored an article on vaccines that would have got you and me blocked and banned at any point in the past three years? That’s just happened.

His article in Cell, ‘Rethinking next-generation vaccines for coronaviruses, influenzaviruses, and other respiratory viruses‘, states it as plainly as possible: the Covid-19 vaccine didn’t work because it couldn’t work.

First, some review from what we knew before this whole fiasco began.

US colonel accuses George Soros of being a ‘shadow national security advisor in the White House’

‘George Soros is frequently mentioned as the shadow national security advisor in the White House these days, and Mr. Zelensky also owes a great deal to George Soros, along with other oligarchs, for his position.’

Retired U.S. Colonel Douglas Macgregor, a security advisor for the Secretary of Defense under Donald Trump, recently addressed the influence billionaire George Soros has over the Biden administration, describing the left-wing megadonor as a “shadow national security advisor in the White House.”

In the beginning of the February 13 interview, the West Point graduate and author described the current situation in Ukraine as one which can largely be traced back to the West’s provocation of Russia by the toppling of Ukraine’s pro-Russian government in 2014 and replacing it with a pro-American, Western allied regime — a point Macgregor touched upon in an exclusive interview he gave to LifeSiteNews late last year.
