“If You Do Not Have Free Speech You Are Not Free” – Refugees from Communism Horrified at America

Today in America there is a new generation of exiles from Communist regimes fighting a new political correctness, called wokeism.

Czeslaw Milosz, before he was a Nobel laureate for Literature and author of The Captive Mind, fought two totalitarianisms in his native country, Poland: first Nazism, then Communism, which took its place. In 1945, after joining the Polish diplomatic service, Milosz was appointed cultural attaché to the embassy in New York, where he served until being recalled in 1950. In 1951, he defected to France.

Barbara Kay: ‘So many people hate you’: Documenting the U.K.’s burgeoning anti-Semitism

Barbara Kay: ‘So many people hate you’: Documenting the U.K.’s burgeoning anti-Semitism

In his new book, Tuvia Tenenbom portrays the U.K. as a population marbled top to bottom with a fat streak of Jew hatred

On Sunday July 18, the Church of England service will include a ceremony of “symbolic repentance” to mark the 800-year anniversary of the Synod of Oxford. The 1222 Synod set forth discriminatory laws for Jews, such as identifying badges and higher taxes. The gesture is especially significant in that the Church of England was only established in 1534. The Church is therefore apologizing for all Christian medieval anti-Semitism.


It’s an interesting article on an interesting book, be sure to read the comments.

It seems the long march through the institutions by our leftist friends has achieved another victory – widespread anti-Semitism of the “acceptable kind.”

I noticed something amiss after the recent Gaza troubles. The “anti-Zionists” are now much more open and public with their views.

If you ever wondered why Islamist anti-Semitism is tolerated you have only to look at the “ordinary people” profiled in this book. They share the identical views.

Man gets ‘racial hatred’ police record – for whistling the Bob The Builder theme tune at his neighbour

A man has been landed with a police record for ‘racial hatred’ for whistling the Bob The Builder theme tune at his neighbour.

… Few other details about the ‘crime’ are known, but it is just one of the bizarre cases unearthed by an investigation into the controversial practice of recording ‘hate incidents’ even if no law has been broken.

Others include a swimming teacher in West Yorkshire given a police record after a child’s mother claimed her son had been allowed to bang his head against the side of the pool ‘due to his ethnicity’, and a gay man who alleged he had been ripped off by a drug dealer because of his sexuality.

Governments, utilities and the nuclear industry hope small modular reactors will power Canada’s future. Can they actually build one?

Ontario Power Generation plans to make a decision this year that might determine the future of Canada’s nuclear industry.

The utility, by far Canada’s largest nuclear power producer, promises to select a design for a 300-megawatt reactor it proposes to build at its Darlington Nuclear Generating Station by 2028. The estimated price tag: up to $3-billion. It would be the first new reactor built on Canadian soil in well over three decades. OPG won’t make that decision alone, because it’s intended to be the first of many reactors of the same design built across the country.

Cue the Howling Eco-Luddites. I doubt a single SMR will be built. Eco-Impact reviews, years of litigation and protests, spiraling costs etc will ensure we freeze in the dark.

Ontario reports 177 new Covid cases… and… OMG! The 4th Wave!

Ontario reports 177 new Covid cases… and…  OMG! The 4th Wave!


Canada needs to jump-start a stalled first-dose campaign to avoid a fourth wave, experts say

Canada has gone from a vaccine laggard to a world leader in COVID-19 immunizations in just a few months’ time — thanks to an ambitious vaccination campaign that has so far blunted the spread of the much more virulent delta variant.

More than 79 per cent of those eligible for a shot have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.

While that’s a high number, it suggests there are still more than six million people over the age of 12 who have chosen to forgo a shot altogether, or wait for a later date.

BOVARD: Why NSA Vs Tucker Carlson Is An Alarm Bell For All Americans

The Carlson controversy cannot be understood outside the context of perennial NSA abuses. The NSA possesses a “repository capable of taking in 20 billion ‘record events’ daily and making them available to NSA analysts within 60 minutes,” the New York Times reported. The NSA is able to snare and stockpile many orders of magnitude times more information than did East Germany’s Stasi secret police, one of the most odious agencies of the post-war era.
