Hunger stones, wrecks and bones: Europe’s drought brings past to surface

Receding rivers and lakes have exposed ghost villages, a Nazi tank and a Roman fort

The warning could not be starker. Wenn du mich siehst, dann weine (“If you see me, then weep”), reads the grim inscription on a rock in the Elbe River near the northern Czech town of Děčín, close to the German border.

As Europe’s rivers run dry in a devastating drought that scientists say could prove the worst in 500 years, their receding waters are revealing long-hidden artefacts, from Roman camps to ghost villages and second world war shipwrecks.

The so-called “hunger stone” at Děčín is one of dozens in central European rivers engraved to mark their levels during historic droughts – and warn future generations of the famine and hardship likely to follow each time they became visible.

San Francisco, Cleveland and Portland have America’s most deserted downtown areas as soaring crime in Democrat-run cities scares workers, tourists and homeowners away

San Francisco, Cleveland and Portland have the most deserted downtowns in the US as soaring crime rates in the Democratic cities scare away workers and tourists.

In a recent study by the Institute of Governmental Studies at the University of California Berkeley, San Francisco’s downtown area was found to be only 31 percent active over the spring of 2022 when compared to pre-pandemic levels, with Cleveland at 36 percent and Portland at 41 percent.

Meanwhile, cities like Salt Lake City, Utah, Bakersfield, California and Columbus Ohio are enjoying the fastest comeback, seeing their downtown activity go up by more than 110 percent since 2019.

British ‘Beatle’ El Shafee Elsheikh faces life sentence for role in Islamic State beheadings

A US federal court will today sentence a British-born jihadist to a potential life term for his involvement with a brutal Islamic State terror cell that kidnapped, tortured and beheaded western hostages in Syria.

El Shafee Elsheikh, 33, was convicted by jury in Virginia earlier this year on eight charges related to his role in the notorious gang of British terrorists known by their captives as the Beatles. The jury delivered a unanimous verdict that Elsheikh was part of the hostage-taking gang that beheaded three Americans, two British aid workers and two Japanese men under the Isis regime.

Unexplained excess deaths: Lockdown effects feared to be killing more people than Covid

Unexplained excess deaths outstrip those from virus as medics call figures ‘terrifying’

The effects of lockdown may now be killing more people than are dying of Covid, official statistics suggest.

Figures for excess deaths from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) show that around 1,000 more people than usual are currently dying each week from conditions other than the virus.

The Telegraph understands that the Department of Health has ordered an investigation into the figures amid concern that the deaths are linked to delays to and deferment of treatment for conditions such as cancer, diabetes and heart disease.

Silent crisis of soaring excess deaths gripping Britain is only tip of the iceberg

Lockdown rules that scared patients away from hospitals may be taking their toll, as more appear to suffer from untreated health problems

Britain is in the grip of a new silent health crisis.

For 14 of the past 15 weeks, England and Wales have averaged around 1,000 extra deaths each week, none of which are due to Covid.

If the current trajectory continues, the number of non-Covid excess deaths will soon outstrip deaths from the virus this year – and be even more deadly than the omicron wave.

Trudeau Government Anti-Racism Consultant – ‘You know all those loud mouthed bags of human feces, aka the Jewish White Supremacists’

Feds probe ‘disturbing’ tweets by consultant on government-funded anti-racism project

I am shocked to hear this vile Mohammedan racist was hired by Hussen’s ministry!

OTTAWA — The federal diversity minister says he’s taking action over “disturbing” tweets by a senior consultant on an anti-racism project that received $133,000 from his department.

Ahmed Hussen has asked Canadian Heritage to “look closely at the situation” after what he called “unacceptable behaviour” by Laith Marouf, a senior consultant involved in the government-funded project to combat racism in broadcasting.

This was no accident.

Canadian ban on handgun imports kicks in with exceptions

As of Friday, individuals and businesses are no longer able to import restricted handguns into Canada, with limited exceptions.

The move announced earlier this month is aimed at expediting a key pillar of the federal effort to cap the number of handguns in the country.

In May, the Liberal government announced a plan to implement a freeze on importing, buying, selling or otherwise transferring handguns to help quell firearm-related violence.

‘Fear, Intimidation’: DOJ Condemns Alleged Threats To Hospital Over Child Sex Changes

The Department of Justice released a statement Wednesday condemning alleged threats made against Boston Children’s Hospital and its staff following controversy over the facility performing sex change procedures on minors.

Boston Children’s Hospital came under fire after several prominent Twitter accounts shared publicly available videos the hospital had put out promoting sex change procedures it offered to minors, and the hospital said it received threats of violence. The DOJ responded to these complaints with a statement condemning the alleged threats and appearing to praise child sex change procedures.

Longtime B.C. Liberal MLA removed from caucus after questioning climate change science

B.C. Liberal leader Kevin Falcon has removed longtime MLA John Rustad from the party caucus after Rustad boosted a social media post casting doubt on climate change science and urging people to “celebrate CO2.”

In posts on both Facebook and Twitter, Rustad, the MLA for the Nechako Lakes riding west of Prince George, shared a graphic and post arguing that people had been “hoodwinked” by climate change science and they should be glad CO2 is being emitted into the atmosphere.

Sounds like they’re a bit fearful about following the science.

Freedom Convoy-affiliated group being evicted from Ottawa church

The owner of a historic church in Ottawa’s Lowertown neighbourhood is evicting a group with ties to the ‘Freedom Convoy’ occupation planning to purchase the property this fall, in an apparent dispute over unpaid rent for the facility.

A “Notice of Termination of Tenant” notice on the front door of St. Brigid’s Church on St. Patrick Street says the landlord has terminated the occupancy of the United People of Canada under the Commercial Tenancies Act, and the locks will be changed.

Previous articles stated the group had purchased the Church it appears they were not planning to do so until the fall.

The last of the kiosks will be installed in early 2023. The company confirmed the kiosks have text-to-speech hardware.

Show me Trump and I’ll show you the crime

Just as the American mainstream media have become the propaganda arm of the Democratic party, so the once great FBI resembles little more than its private enforcement arm.

Attorney General Merrick Garland’s raid on Mar-a-Lago represented no more than an application of the principle that guided Stalinist Lavrentiy Beria, ‘Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime’.

Canada’s liberal euthanasia laws create culture of death

As Democrats celebrate the passage of a bill that will entrench the government in our healthcare, our neighbors to the north provide a chilling example of the effects of socialized medicine. A recent Associated Press expose about the culture of death within Canada’s single-payer system shows how putting the government in charge of healthcare leads to the devaluing of human life, particularly the most vulnerable.

The Associated Press noted that Canada has some of the loosest and most permissive laws on euthanasia in the entire world.
