Hakan Ayik: The man who accidentally helped FBI get in criminals’ pockets

Law enforcement agencies have arrested some 800 suspected criminals around the world after thousands of people were tricked into using an encrypted phone app which allowed police to monitor their conversations without their knowledge.

Australian police have told local media that the man who unwittingly helped to distribute the FBI-run encrypted messaging app was a fugitive named Hakan Ayik.

Alleged to be a drugs kingpin himself, officials say Mr Ayik was identified as a key influencer and given access by undercover agents to a handset which he then recommended to other criminal associates.

Denmark Cracks Down on Mass Migration

Denmark Cracks Down on Mass Migration

“The Current Asylum System Has Failed”

The Danish Parliament has passed a new law that will allow the government to deport asylum seekers to countries outside of the European Union to have their cases considered abroad. The legislation is widely seen as a first step toward moving the country’s asylum screening process beyond Danish borders.

The law, proposed by the Social Democrat-led government, is aimed at discouraging frivolous asylum applications. It has been greeted with fury by those who favor mass migration, presumably out of fear that other EU countries may now follow Denmark’s lead.

Justin Trudeau, federal leaders commit to fighting hate in wake of attack on Muslim family in London, Ont.

Justin Trudeau, federal leaders commit to fighting hate in wake of attack on Muslim family in London, Ont.

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has called the attack that killed four members of a Muslim family in London, Ont., a terrorist attack motivated by hatred.

Trudeau said hate is often fuelled by small actions that can turn into “ugly” trends — and real violence.

Jagmeet Singh goes right off the deep-end – “The reality is, our Canada is a palace of racism, of violence, of genocide of Indigenous people. And our Canada is a place where Muslims are not safe.”

Kelly McParland: Turning a blind eye to Pierre Trudeau’s unseemly Indigenous assimilation plan

There is almost exactly a century separating the governments of Sir John A. Macdonald and Pierre E. Trudeau, but not much difference in their approach to Indigenous issues.

Trudeau’s “Statement of the Government of Canada on Indian Policy, 1969” didn’t propose separating Indigenous children from their parents and isolating them in schools where they could be abused by nuns and priests, but the strategy was the same: the best way to handle the Indian “problem” was to get rid of the idea of being “Indian” in the first place. Better to turn them into regular old Canadians like the rest of us. As Trudeau saw it, assimilation as a strategy was far from dead, it just needed updating.

Unfortunately, the audacity of hope quickly devolved into the audacity of bitter partisanship and division following his historic victory.
