SAS hero who battled terrorists in Kenyan hotel siege has revealed his identity after ‘Walter Mittys’ kept impersonating him on social media

An SAS soldier who fought terrorists in a Kenyan hotel siege while off-duty has been forced to reveal his identity after people kept impersonating him on social media and in pubs near the elite force’s Hereford base.

The Special Forces veteran, who uses the pseudonym Chris Craighead on Instagram, shared a photograph showing his face for the first time.

The image shows Craighead leading Kenyan security forces towards the luxury DusitD2 hotel in Nairobi in 2019 before storming the complex and defeating al-Shabaab terrorists.

The Death of Brian Sicknick — Exploiting Tragedy for Political Gain

So much for “the worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War.”

In his State of the Union address, President Joe Biden called the January 6, 2021 riot at the Capitol “the worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War.”

It would be easy to dismiss this hyperbolic comparison as just one more example of Biden’s painfully obvious dementia. But, as part of a major speech undoubtedly crafted by White House staff, it is clear that this claim was part and parcel of the Biden regime’s ongoing efforts to demonize and destroy its political opponents, including those who have questioned the legitimacy of the November 2020 presidential election.

‘Please pray for me’: female reporter being hunted by the Taliban tells her story

Two days ago I had to flee my home and life in the north of Afghanistan after the Taliban took my city. I am still on the run and there is no safe place for me to go.

Last week I was a news journalist. Today I can’t write under my own name or say where I am from or where I am. My whole life has been obliterated in just a few days.

I am so scared and I don’t know what will happen to me. Will I ever go home? Will I see my parents again? Where will I go? The highway is blocked in both directions. How will I survive?

Up to 30 Russians a year falling prey to bloodthirsty Satanist covens, expert warns

Russian Cannibal Witch

Demented occultists looking for victims as part of their sick rituals pose a real threat to the Russian public, one top analyst has cautioned after a pair of satanists confessed to a gory double murder in a remote woodland.

Speaking to RIA Novosti on Tuesday, Roman Silantyev, the deputy chairman of the Russian Ministry of Justice’s advisory council on religion, said that people should be aware of the risks. “The likelihood of becoming a victim of satanists is small, but it is not zero, 20 to 30 people a year can become their victims,” he said.

Mr. “You Didn’t Build That” Throws a Party

You might have heard that there was a party on Martha’s Vineyard over the weekend. While many commentators have made good, well reasoned points about the incongruity of the maskless celebration of privilege, the flagrant hypocrisy and unselfconscious opulence of the occasion, I think the greatest irony has been, largely, missed.
You see, Mr Obama has turned the ultimate trick of the socialist oppressor.

Canadian Michael Spavor found guilty of “Spying”, sentenced to 11 years in prison by Communist Chinese Kangaroo court

Canadian Michael Spavor has been found guilty and sentenced to 11 years in prison by a Chinese court in a verdict that will further test the strained relationship between the Canadian and Chinese governments.

He was convicted of spying and illegally providing state secrets to other countries.

The verdict and sentencing mark a significant new development in Spavor’s journey through the Chinese legal system, which Ottawa and other observers have decried for a perceived lack of transparency.

Climate racism isn’t real

Toxic air is colorblind

How many headlines have you seen about climate and environmental racism? So many you think of it as a real problem?

Now, how many articles have you actually read about climate racism? If you’ve read one, just one, then you already know it doesn’t exist. Once you get past the fear-mongering click bait and the SEO-friendly headlines, almost all reportage of climate racism dances around the real issue: wealth inequality.

China Owes The World $35 Trillion If Coronavirus Lab Leak Is True

Did China cause the coronavirus pandemic?

On August 24, a report President Joe Biden ordered 90 days earlier from the intelligence bureaucracy about the origin of COVID-19 will be due. There is an odd lack of leaked information about where the report stands now. Despite their supposedly secretive nature, these agencies often seem to employ even more aggressive publicists than SEAL Team Six and leak what passes for intelligence to force the hand of a president they are supposed to serve. When he ordered the review, Biden forecast that the agencies might not agree on a source of COVID, or might issue a posterior-covering report that stresses they present their conclusions with “moderate” confidence—shorthand for “guessing.”

Apocalypse porn

The green movement is a doomsday cult. Progressives should have nothing to do with it.

There’s a new trend online. Forget blacking out your Instagram page to show how much you care for black lives. Never mind bigging up your pronouns. That’s so last month. Right now it’s all about apocalypse porn. Across social media, the caring set are sharing images of the ‘hellfires’ in Greece and the aftermath of the floods in Europe and the wildfire currently raging in Northern California, all with the same message: this is climate change. This is the world our greedy, destructive species has created. This is the hell that awaits us all if we don’t stop taking cheap flights to Malaga and drinking from plastic straws. ‘Welcome to global warming!’, as one observer of the Greek fires quipped.

Canada: pressure on Catholic church to compensate victims of residential schools abuses

Canada: pressure on Catholic church to compensate victims of residential schools abuses

The Catholic church in Canada has come under growing pressure to compensate victims of the country’s residential school system after the scale of its assets were revealed in a string of media investigations.

As part of a 2007 agreement, the church agreed to pay C$29m in compensation to survivors, but only distributed a fraction of that figure, citing poor fundraising efforts.

Now, reports by CBC News and Globe and Mail have suggested that the church not only controls more than C$4bn in assets, but also pulls in hundreds of millions in charitable donations and constructed gilded cathedrals while claiming it lacks the funds to make good on its promises to pay compensation.

CBC and the Globe have been going hard at the RC Church, now the Guardian chimes in.

Deadly Ebola-like Marburg virus could ‘spread far and wide’ if not stopped: WHO

A man who died in West Africa has tested positive for the Ebola-like Marburg virus — with health officials scrambling to stop the killer disease before it can “spread far and wide,” the World Health Organization said.

Ebola and Marburg are so lethal that they kill their victims before they can spread the virus widely. They are considered inefficient viruses as opposed to something like AIDS, which can take decades to be lethal to the host. This statement by the WHO is irresponsible and inaccurate.
