‘Putin fixer’s troll factory’ turns fire on social media and pop stars

Research has found the president’s ally may be behind pro-Kremlin propaganda on a bizarre variety of platforms

A Russian troll factory has spread lies about the war in Ukraine across social media platforms including Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and TikTok, according to research commissioned by the government.

Boris Johnson and other world leaders have been targeted as part of a Kremlin disinformation campaign which, it is suspected, has been orchestrated by a close ally of President Putin.

The troll factory was trying to manipulate international public opinion in support of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, researchers found.

Chinese medicine has blighted billions

A nationalistic reliance on duff remedies has led to Covid incarcerations

The first country to experience Covid-19, and the one that invented the defence strategy known as lockdown, is the only country still practising it. But the Chinese form is so much harsher than the British version, it is almost misleading to use the same term. In Shanghai, the biggest city now enduring the experience, millions have been physically barricaded into their homes, some crying out that they are starving. Those reporting infections are forced into vast quarantine camps. Vital office workers have been confined to their skyscrapers, sleeping at their desks for over a month now.

Ukraine’s allies are visiting wartime Kyiv — but Canada hasn’t, so far

In the month since Russia’s retreat from Ukraine’s north, the capital Kyiv has seen a frenzy of high-profile visitors: 11 prime ministers, Austria’s chancellor, the U.S. secretaries of state and defence, its House speaker, the UN secretary-general — even Hollywood star Angelina Jolie.

Canada has not sent even a cabinet minister.

Ukraine has noticed.

Junior’s still working on his costume.

How the COVID-19 pandemic is shaping who will be the next Conservative party leader

OTTAWA — The last time federal Conservatives were picking a leader, their race was transformed by the COVID-19 pandemic.

More than two years later, they are at it again. But this time, the race is happening during what appears to be the end of Canadians living under government-imposed pandemic rules.

The events of the past 25 months, from when the health crisis first landed until now, are shaping the contest for who will lead the Conservative party after Sept. 10.

Please, not another “scholarly study” on anti-Semitism

Oh no, according to the news release, this is going to be the mother of all “studies.” That means millions of meaningless words.

I don’t need an ADL “study” to explain the rise in anti-Semitism

Alarming? Yes, the spike in anti-Semitism in the US and around the world is alarming. The reason for it is simple; the erosion of Judeo/Christian values.

There, that’s the story. Period. So you don’t need Jonathan Greenblatt and his ADL …Anti-Defamation League…to pursue the question with a “study,” and not just any study.

When sex ed is a crime against children

There’s a reason parents are rallying behind Ron DeSantis and Glenn Youngkin

Over the last month, Florida governor Ron DeSantis and his like-minded legislature have escalated a feud with the Walt Disney Company. Last week, the state stripped Disney of its unique land privileges and tax advantages. What began over a contested Florida’s Parental Rights in Education law has grown into a cautionary tale in corporate woke.

How Obama and Biden Destroyed the Greatest Military the World Has Ever Seen

Joseph R. Biden is directly responsible for the worst, most humiliating, most dangerous – yet completely avoidable – defeat in the history of American warfare. He has betrayed the country that elected him and that he is sworn to serve. Yet Biden has shown no remorse and taken no responsibility for the damage he has done. Instead, he has brazenly lied and called his own disaster a “success.”

French Elections: The Bad And The Not So Bad

“Like the remake of a bad movie,” says a voter in Sarcelles, one of Paris’s many “underprivileged” suburbs that, having formed the “red belt” of the French capital for decades, have now shifted to far-right populism.

The second and final round of the French presidential election last Sunday was, indeed, a remake of the contest five years ago when a then little known Emmanuel Macron handily defeated the far-right champion Marine Le Pen on her second bid for supreme power. But whether or not it was a bad remake remains to be seen.

How Ukraine’s ‘Ghost of Kyiv’ legendary pilot was born

Ukraine’s fighter pilots are vastly outnumbered by the Russians, and have become legendary – thanks in part to the story of an alleged flying ace called the”Ghost of Kyiv”.

This hero is said to have downed as many as 40 enemy planes – an incredible feat in an arena where Russia controls the skies.

But now the Ukraine Air Force Command has warned on Facebook that the “Ghost of Kyiv is a superhero-legend whose character was created by Ukrainians!”.

Britain accused of being ‘more evil’ than US and stealing ‘Russian’ invention of fish and chips

A Russian MP has labelled Great Britain “more evil” than the United States in an impassioned tirade on state TV, where the UK was also accused of stealing the “Russian” invention of fish and chips.

Andrei Isayev, a pro-Kremlin politician, said that of “that couple that we constantly mention,” the UK has “of course historically” been “more hardcore anti-Russian” than the US.

He said: “They’re basically Siamese twins, or two heads of a dragon, but Britain has historically been the more evil head of the dragon because in that couple it has responsibility for Europe.”

New Film Alleges 2020 Was Stolen, 2000 Felonies Prove It

After May 7, 2022 there will exist a dynamic in the nation that has not since America woke up on the morning after the election in 2020.

Simply put, we were right.

By “we” I’m referring to everyone from the harshest critic of the “vote fraud” crowds but who in the back of their mind couldn’t have confidence in the oft repeated lie “most secure election in history,” to people just like you and me who had the audacity to ask about it and were told to shut up, sit down, or we’d be cancelled.

Antifa’s Violent Attack on the Portland ‘Peoples Truck Convoy’ Was Openly Plotted on Twitter

The “People’s Convoy” of truckers was attacked by known Antifa members who dropped projectiles, paintballs, eggs, and other objects at passing motorists in hopes of injuring drivers and stopping the convoy.

The attack could have been deadly. And it was openly organized on Twitter. But sure, let’s censor conservative speech, Silicon Valley and Alejandro Mayorkas.
