China’s pro-Russia propaganda exposed by online activists

Secret handshake?

A number of Chinese government-linked media outlets and pro-Russia social media accounts are spreading pro-Kremlin sentiment on the Chinese internet by mistranslating or manipulating international news about the war in Ukraine.

In response, online, anonymous volunteers – such as those under the Twitter account Great Translation Movement – have exposed China’s pro-Russia propaganda by highlighting mistranslations that falsely blame Ukrainian troops for bombings and atrocities perpetrated by Russian forces against civilians.

Why Canada’s plan to criminalize Holocaust denial could be unconstitutional — and redundant

Sidney Zoltak, who has spent a significant part of his life recounting his experiences as a child survivor of the Holocaust, says he’s not sure how he would characterize the effort by some to deny the historical genocide.

“I don’t know what to call it … whether it’s a crime, a shame, a lie — what would be more appropriate,” said Zoltak, 91. As a child, he, along with his family, escaped the Jewish ghetto set up by Nazis in his Polish hometown and went into hiding.

I do not approve of speech bans.

Dramatic video captured the moment cops caught Alabama murder suspect Casey Cole White and former jail boss Vicky White after a car chase that ended with her dying from what is believed to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Majority of Canadians support federal government’s plan to regulate internet, poll shows

The federal government’s broad push to regulate the internet has the support of a majority of Canadians, according to a new survey, even though the details of Ottawa’s plans are generating strong pushback from policy experts.

The House of Commons is currently studying two separate pieces of legislation proposing the regulation of online news remuneration and streaming services. It is also in the process of drafting a third bill that will aim to combat various online abuses, including hate speech, terrorist content and child pornography.

A Nanos Research poll commissioned by The Globe and Mail found that 55 per cent of Canadians support or somewhat support greater government regulation of the internet, while 37 per cent oppose or somewhat oppose such regulation and 8 per cent said they are unsure.

I am not buying this poll. Go Incognito.

Russia pounds vital port of Odesa, targeting supply lines

ZAPORIZHZHIA, Ukraine (AP) — Russian troops pounded away at the vital port of Odesa, Ukrainian officials said Tuesday, apparently as part of efforts to disrupt the supply lines and weapons shipments that have been critical to Kyiv’s defense.

Ukraine’s ability to stymie a larger, better armed Russian military has surprised many observers, who had anticipated a much quicker conflict. With the war now in its 11th week and Kyiv bogging Russian forces down in many places and even staging a counteroffensive in others, Ukraine’s foreign minister appeared to suggest that the country could expand its aims beyond merely pushing Russia back to areas it or its allies held on the day of Feb. 24 invasion.


Ukraine War: Putin’s Victory Day speech fact-checked

“Kyiv has declared that it could obtain nuclear weapons”
President Putin has repeatedly said Ukraine plans to acquire nuclear weapons as a justification for Russia’s invasion, although there’s no evidence this is the case.

When it was part of the former Soviet Union, Ukraine did have nuclear weapons, but gave these up in the 1990s in return for security guarantees from the US, UK and Russia.

Rand Paul: The ‘Government Is Largely Disseminating Disinformation’

The U.S. federal government is one of the main disseminators of disinformation, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said on Monday, ripping the Biden administration’s Disinformation Governance Board, which is purportedly intended to target online “misinformation.”

“I don’t trust government to figure out what the truth is,” Paul said on Monday, identifying the government as a source of routine misinformation.

For The Trudeau Government, Higher Gas Prices Are A Feature, Not A Bug

For Canadians, higher gas prices represent another hit to our finances.

By increasing transportation costs, surging gas prices mean people have less money available for anything else.

And of course, higher fuel prices push up the cost of food, clothing, and nearly everything else. Since companies must transport goods and find it more expensive to do so, they are left with no choice but to pass on that cost to consumers.

This pushes people into a binary choice:
Continue to drive and cut back on other expenses, or cut back on driving.

Both ‘choices’ represent a narrowing of financial freedom and personal freedom.

FULL GROOMER: Discovery TV welcomes “pink palace” where children as young as 13 are being groomed for TRANSEXUALISM

Just add a wig, some makeup and some extreme-Left promotions of child perversion and you’ve got a “production” fit for a communist-run country that’s pushing sex-thinking on kids and blasting it all over social media, including YouTube. It’s gender fluid programming of children’s minds and then blasting out the “production” and conversion to trans-everything-thinking. The Leftist mainstream media and the Biden regime want everyone to accept this “grooming” as normal, that kids should be extravagantly flaunting sexuality all day, everywhere they go, including at school. Discovery TV is at the forefront of the whole wave of perversion programming for teen drag queens. Welcome to “Generation Drag,” also known as “pink palace.”

Trudeau is slowly leading Canada down the path toward Chinese-style totalitarianism

Many Canadians acquiesced to soft totalitarianism when they accepted vaccine passports from September 2021 to early 2022 with little outcry or protest. A government with the power to exclude you from society over your refusal to get injected with a new substance which lacks long-term safety data can also make you a second-class citizen based on other private and personal decisions that the government deems to be unacceptable.
