At no point does it seem to have occurred to anyone that giving the government strong financial incentive to want you dead was a bad idea.
A former FBI agent blasted claims that President Joe Biden was not briefed on the Aug. 8 raid on Mar-a-Lago during a Fox News appearance early Monday morning.
“The soundbite you played there just a second ago from the White House is a blatant lie,” Jonathan Gilliam, who served on criminal and counterterrorism squads for the FBI according to his website, said on “Fox and Friends First.” “It is a blatant lie, and no way Joe Biden has not been briefed on this. In fact, if Joe Biden had not been briefed on this, considering one of the biggest things occurring right now that can affect this country in the near future, he is not a president. He is somebody sitting in a chair. So which one is it? Is he completely incompetent and someone else is doing his job, or are they lying to the American people?”
We stand at a precipice where we face the danger of losing our humanity forever.
Years from now, what I will remember most about the pandemic is not a virus but our response to it. We have become an intolerant, contemptful, rude and savage society, more inclined to cut off our relationships at the knees than to massage the joints a little to keep them moving. We threaten instead of persuade, mandate instead of respect, and gaslight, scapegoat, and insult our targets into submission.
Seared into my memory are the bold, black letters on the front page of The Toronto Star last August: “I have no empathy left for the wilfully unvaccinated. Let them die.” These words are, unfortunately, more aligned with today’s rules of behavior than an exception to them. Online and off, we are becoming a crude, insensitive, and morally bankrupt society being slowly engulfed, it seems, by an inferno of incivility.
A constitutional rights group has blasted the federal government’s plan to create a Digital ID infrastructure as a threat to Charter rights and a step towards implementing a Communist China-style social credit system.
In the report titled Canada’s Road to Beijing, the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF) outlines how China’s mass surveillance system operates and in what ways a national Digital ID system is a step towards authoritarianism.
One year after the submission, NCCM inform our Liberal government of the degree to which the Feds lived up to their standards:
“Although much has been done, much more remains.”
If ever there was a calling card for Canada’s diversity industry, this is the one. They must remain insatiable. This way, political power will continue to accumulate ad infinitum. It has become the defining characteristic of post-modern society: those who whine most successfully, win.

For the warrant to cover the Espionage Act, there had to be PROBABLE CAUSE of espionage.
Not just a “what if Trump gave classified docs to foreign agents.”
There was PROOF presented to the judge — witness testimony, video footage, other documents, something. Tangible proof.

Prominent Democrats and left-leaning journalists have developed a newfound appreciation for the Espionage Act — which they once criticized as being unconstitutional and abusive — now that it’s being used against former President Donald Trump.
The FBI raided Trump’s residence at Mar-a-Lago Aug. 8 as part of an investigation into a potential violation of the Espionage Act, which can be used to prosecute illegal spying but also leaking or mishandling classified documents. Liberals once widely opposed the law, which they viewed as an infringement on free speech and a way for the government to abuse its critics.
It has been almost one year since the FDA gave full approval to Pfizer’s mRNA COVID injection. Yet many will be surprised to find out that this particular vaccine, in FDA approved form, has never actually existed, and will never exist. The Biden Administration’s highly touted FDA approval was a mere sleight of hand. It was bureaucratic trickery. There remains no FDA approved COVID vaccine that is actually available in the United States, and there may never be one.
The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) describes itself as “the global authority that sets the environmental agenda… and serves as an authoritative advocate for the global environment.” Through its “Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity for Agriculture and Food” program launched in 2014, the UNEP advocates that nations “steer away from the prevailing focus on per hectare productivity.”
Is nothing sacred to the left?
Suddenly, St. Joan of Arc has been rewritten into a transgender icon, according to wokester elites in the arts, who’ve decided to culturally expropriate the Catholic saint and national patroness of France for the god of transgenderism on multiple fronts. They’ve even expropriated from the title of Robert Graves’s most famous book, I, Claudius. Instead of being the Maid of Orleans, the Liberator of France, and a great symbol of feminine chastity, beauty, innocence and courage, she’s now some creature whose bravery consists of contemplating her genitals and displaying her wokeness in the trendy new definition of heroism. It’s similar to a trend seen several years ago, when every historic character was suddenly declared ‘gay’ in a bid to normalize gayness, when the facts in most cases were simply not there.
I’ve always said that most institutions with the words “international” or “world” in their titles are globalist, pinko organizations. Examples include the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Health Organization (WHO), and the World Economic Forum (WEF). This does not include Ihop and their delicious boysenberry syrup.
A BBC documentary attributes Islamic and African prejudices to — what else? — the British Empire.
Some people are foolish enough to take their political cues from show-business celebrities like Bette Midler, Rob Reiner, and Cher. Not me. I listen to athletes. So when I heard that 28-year-old British diver Tom Daley had made a documentary about the current status of human rights in certain former British colonies, I sought it out at once.
Elite Afghan soldiers trained by the United States fled to Iran with weapons and specialized combat training following the Biden administration’s bungled withdrawal from the country that let the Taliban regain power, according to a report by Republicans on the House Foreign Affairs Committee based on interviews with whistleblowers and internal State Department documents.
“A ‘significant’ number of Afghan special forces and about 3,000 Afghan security forces, including high ranking officers, crossed the border into Iran,” according to the report, which was released on Monday to coincide with the one-year anniversary of the deadly U.S. military withdrawal from Afghanistan. “Some brought military equipment and vehicles with them. We believe this happened because they were not evacuated by the U.S. or our allies, and therefore had no other option.”
The U.S. Army is expected to fall nearly 40,000 troops short of its recruiting goals over the next two years. Fiscal year 2022 is expected to miss the mark by 10,000 troops, while the number in fiscal year 2023 could reach 28,000. These figures mean that this year is on track to be the Army’s worst recruiting year in almost 50 years.
The Army plans to circumvent the problem by offering $1 billion for its recruiting program and placing more emphasis on the use of its reserve units.
Journalists are twisting facts to suit their political agenda
If you’re a hammer, everything looks like a nail. And if you’re a media ecosystem with a fixation on hammers, you will do your best to make anything look like a nail.
This is the inescapable conclusion from the reporting around a recent study, published in the peer-reviewed journal Temperature, which looked at the relationship between climate change and children’s fitness — and reported the findings entirely backwards to fit a pre-existing political narrative.
Mohsin Hamid’s The Last White Man is packed with all of today’s regressive, right-on prejudices.
A television production company once offered me the opportunity to black up for money, by repeating the experiment that brought John Howard Griffin to prominence with the book, Black Like Me, published in 1961. In 1959, Griffin started documenting his sojourn throughout the segregated southern states of America, while Jim Crow laws were still enforced, and with evidential prejudice a common occurrence for black Americans. Griffin was a white man who darkened his skin – with the aid of the drug methoxsalen – to temporarily experience life as a black man. His account became a magazine article, and later Black Like Me, which took its title from a line in a poem by Langston Hughes.
For carrying a “large wooden stick” on January 6 — and for things the ex-officer said and believed.
Former police officer Thomas Robertson, who according to CBS News, “stormed the U.S. Capitol” on January 6, 2021, will spend more than seven years in prison, followed by three years of supervised release.
Robertson, 49, was charged with interfering with police officers and “entering a restricted area with a dangerous weapon, a large wooden stick.”
As despicable as it is, it should come as no surprise that the government of Iran believes that Salman Rushdie had it coming and appears quite satisfied with the attempt on the author’s life that occurred last Friday.
US officials have warned of an increase in violent threats to law enforcement following the search of Donald Trump’s Florida estate, Mar-a-Lago.
The FBI and Department of Homeland Security issued a memo to law enforcement around the country.
It said there had been an “increase in violent threats posted on social media against federal officials”.
The FBI search last Monday was the first time a former president’s home had been searched in a criminal probe.
The outbreak of monkeypox, which has so far mostly affected men who have sex with men, has prompted concerns over the potential stigmatization of the gay community.
But some gay activists are expressing frustration over what they believe is a reluctance by policymakers and public health officials to speak directly to gay men with messaging about the risks of infection and what they see as the need to curb some sexual activity.
Four days before the federal government announced it had invoked the Emergencies Act to clear convoy protests in February, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his cabinet were informed that the lead negotiator of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) said the leaders of the protest could be potentially persuaded to leave in exchange for a commitment from the government to “register their message,” an internal government document shows.
Throughout the protest, Trudeau and his government refused to meet or send representatives to dialogue with the protesters.
