Xi Jinping goes full 1984

The CCP’s inner sanctum is in Beijing this week to hold its annual closed-door meeting. But this time it’s done something rare by announcing one item on the agenda: an official resolution to revise China’s historical narrative under its reign, to reflect Xi’s take on the “correct” interpretation of party history — and by extension China’s.

What the party comes up with won’t just be an anodyne internal document only CCP nerds will obsess over. Xi’s historical revision will influence everything in China — from foreign policy, to what’s taught in schools or shown on TV and in films, to what constitutes the ultimate crime of disloyalty to the party — for an entire generation, if not longer.

Bill 2: Quebec to drop surgery requirement for people who want to change their sex on IDs

A Quebec bill that would have allowed only people who have undergone surgery to change their sex on identification documents will be changed.

The bill introduced Oct. 21 by Justice Minister Simon Jolin-Barrette was criticized by transgender-rights activists.

The law would have allowed people who identify as transgender to change their “gender” designation on official documents.

Doctors say children’s mental health nearing crisis level in Alberta

Evan Solomon Spreads Misinformation by Asserting that COVID-19 is worse than Polio

CTV News’ Evan Solomon got into a small tiff with Sarnia-Lambton MP Marlyn Gladu on his show over vaccine mandates, seemingly in an attempt to try and discredit her and the various other Conservative MPs and Senators joining the newly forming civil liberties caucus.

Could A Potential Liberal, NDP Coalition Bring An End To Democracy in Canada?

As reported by mainstream media in Canada, the Liberal and NDP parties have been discussing ways in which they can keep the government running and avoid an election for the next couple of years. Because the ruling Liberal government did not capture a majority in the past two elections, it needs support from either the Conservatives, NDP or Bloc Québécois to keep it from falling on a confidence vote.

White House Doubles Down On Vaccine Mandate

The White House continues to press forward with its nationwide vaccine mandate. Despite a set back, the Biden administration believes it will succeed in implementing a vaccine mandate on large employers.

The Left’s continued denialism of critical race theory is not convincing anyone

Part of the reason Republican campaigns against critical race theory have been so successful is that the Left’s only rejoinders are: CRT isn’t actually being taught in public schools, or it’s racist to not want CRT taught in public schools.

Neither argument is convincing, but the former is especially stupid, as there is a massive amount of evidence that CRT has, in fact, made its way into the public school system.

Climate alarmism is doing terrible damage to the young

As COP26 demonstrates, the politics of fear is everywhere today. Governments rely on it to encourage citizens to act. And activists exploit it to highlight the supposed urgency of their cause.

Canada checks whether its soldiers train Ukrainian neo-Nazis

Stung by allegations that its troops trained neo-Nazis in Ukraine, Canada’s defense department has launched a review into the vetting process on its “mentoring” and “capacity building” programs for foreign military personnel.

Rittenhouse trial plagued by corporate tech and Big Media bid to taint his case

Kyle Rittenhouse shoots armed antifa assailant

As Kyle Rittenhouse’s prosecutors go into their grand facepalms, following the trial revelation from their star witness that just supported the 17-year-old murder defendant’s claim to self-defense, it’s pretty obvious the wretched case is now over.  AT deputy editor Andrea Widburg has an excellent post today on that here.

The short story here is that the kid was beset by Antifa thugs during the Kenosha, Wisconsin arson-and-looting riots last summer and ended up killing a couple of menacing Antifa-linked thugs who seemed to be trying to kill him first.  The argument stands up, and even the guy who’d been aiming the gun at Rittenhouse at close quarters admitted it.  The case obviously should have never been brought to trial, and the kid should not have been held in jail, been subject to a Red Queen–style trial by press, nor held up as a pariah in the months that followed.  These prosecutors had no case whatsoever and are now on record as junk prosecutors who bring trash cases premised on the direction of the political winds.  The kid should be acquitted promptly.

While World Focuses on ‘Islamophobia,’ Christians Live Precarious Existence in Muslim Lands

Everyone is worried about “Islamophobia”: New Jersey’s unlikeliest new state senator-elect just apologized for criticizing Islam; Muslim leaders in Canada want the Ontario government to be more proactive against “Islamophobia”; and a mosque leader in London recently charged that Muslim women in Britain live in fear of “racism.” Meanwhile, in Pakistan several days ago, Muslims fired upon Christians in an attempt to seize their lands; in Nigeria, Muslims kidnapped over one hundred Christians; and in Egypt, two Muslim brothers murdered a Christian shopkeeper because of his faith. The Muslim persecution of Christians has rarely been as virulent or widespread as it is today, yet it gets little attention. That’s why a new book by Casey Chalk, The Persecuted: True Stories of Courageous Christians Living Their Faith in Muslim Lands (Sophia Institute Press), is a breath of fresh air and a welcome dose of realism in an international public discourse increasingly dominated by sloganeering and propaganda.

Mexico army gives drug cartels free rein as critics claim ‘non-aggression pact’

A small squad of soldiers with about a half-dozen trucks and sandbag emplacements stands guard on a rural highway in western Mexico. In one direction, almost within earshot, one drug cartel operates a roadblock extorting farmers. In the other direction, a rival cartel carries out armed patrols in trucks bearing its initials.

The Mexican army has largely stopped fighting drug cartels here, instead soldiers guard the dividing lines between gang territories so they won’t invade each other’s turf – and turn a blind eye to the cartels’ illegal activities just a few hundred yards away.

At the first roadblock, set up by the Viagras gang that has long dominated the state of Michoacán, a truck stands parked across the highway and stacked sandbags protect cartel gunmen.

Polish border is the new Fortress Europe in action

If the dramatic images of hundreds of migrants massed together on the Polish border, facing off against a wall of Polish soldiers and border guards, don’t already underline that the Merkel era is over, Germany’s response surely should. The line among Germany’s political class now seems to be that 2015 was the right thing to do, and must never be repeated…

The British Muslim, CIA Operative, and Author of ‘I Posed as a Man Online for Sex’ Behind the Democrat Censorship Campaign

If you liked the Steele Dossier, you’ll love the Center for Countering Digital Hate.

After campaigns to censor “election misinformation”, and “medical misinformation”, the latest wave of the censorship campaign calls for banning “climate misinformation” from the internet.

A report from the Center for Countering Digital Hate warns of the free speech threat from, “climate disinformation, including articles that undermine the existence or impacts of climate change or misrepresent data in ways that might erode trust in climate science experts.”

And nothing builds trust like eliminating dissent.

Climate alarmism is doing terrible damage to the young

Young people are told their lives are over before they’ve even begun.

As COP26 demonstrates, the politics of fear is everywhere today. Governments rely on it to encourage citizens to act. And activists exploit it to highlight the supposed urgency of their cause.

All this fear-mongering, however, is having a profound effect on the mindset of teenagers today. It has filled us with fear and guilt, and it has exacerbated our sense of insecurity.

Durham indictment is ‘bad news’ for mainstream media on Steele dossier reporting

A prominent press critic has warned mainstream media outlets they face a “steep journalistic challenge” to back up their initial reporting on the Steele dossier in the wake of the latest indictment secured by special counsel John Durham.

Washington Post media critic Erik Wemple wrote Monday that last week’s indictment of Igor Danchenko, a key source for former British spy Christopher Steele’s report, is “bad news” for several media outlets — including Wemple’s own employer.
