New World Order used to be the province of conspiracy theorists. However, the phrase is now descriptive of what we see daily in the news. There is tremendous pressure to reorder society in the West, using the pandemic as a pretext. In America, the result has been an assault on our God-given rights on an unprecedented scale. Political leaders proclaimed they were following the science to protect public health and stripped citizens of their ability to work, to associate, to worship, and even to petition our government.
Man who was pulled over for running a red light attacks NYPD officers with chemicals & Molotov cocktail

Posturing is No Policy on Iran
Two months or nine months? This is the question making the rounds with regards to the latest “incident” at Natanz nuclear center where Iran is engaged in a massive uranium enrichment program. Attributed to Israeli secret services, the incident disabled some 5,000 centrifuges put in full operation two months ago as a means of exerting pressure on the new administration in Washington.
Iranian experts say the infernal machine could be back in full gear within two months. Western experts say nine months is a likelier time-span. The “incident” came at a time that Tehran’s envoys were engaged in indirect talks with US diplomats on a possible deal for Iran to reduce its enrichment program in exchange for the lifting of sanctions imposed by Washington, the UN and the European Union.

Sheriff’s detective turns active shooter and kills three at Austin apartment complex after being fired over child sex assault
A sheriff’s detective has turned active shooter and killed three adults in Austin after being put on unpaid leave over child sex claims, as SWAT teams and FBI agents issued a shelter at home order amid fears the gunman could take a hostage.
Joseph Chacon, Chief of Police at Austin Police Deportment, named the ‘armed and dangerous’ suspect as 41-year-old Stephen Nicholas Broderick, who allegedly shot the trio at an apartment complex near The Arboretum in the north-west of the city in what officers called a ‘domestic situation’.
Police say a child was involved but is safely in custody.
Sweden: Muslim migrant who received medal from king convicted of honor violence against his daughter
When he received his award, Rasoul Zarar Ibrahim was clearly considered a model of assimilation. But as this account notes, he still carried attitudes and assumptions from the Islamic culture of violence in his mental baggage. His daughter has paid the price. Will Swedish authorities try to protect women and girls in similar situations by working to eradicate such attitudes from Muslim migrants? Of course not. That would be “Islamophobic.”
George Floyd killing: protests flare as Americans await verdict in Chauvin trial
Outcome is expected to resonate nationwide, particularly in cities that have seen continuing demonstrations over police violence
Protests against police killings flared across the US this weekend, from Minneapolis to Chicago to Portland, as Americans wait for a verdict in the trial of the white police officer charged with murdering George Floyd last year.
Closing arguments are expected in the Derek Chauvin trial on Monday. The most serious charge the former Minneapolis officer is facing in Floyd’s death is second-degree murder, but the jury might choose to find him guilty on third-degree murder or manslaughter, or acquit him altogether.
The never-ending story: Rioting and arson in Portland
There was a fatal police shooting at a park in Portland Friday morning. It started when a call was placed to police reporting a white man pointing a gun in the park. Police arrived and, according to a witness who filmed the encounter, the man became irate. He was shirtless and didn’t appear to be armed at that point, though the witness said he’d seen him with a gun earlier.
Madonna calls for end of due process for police officers to avoid ‘corrupt justice system’
Singer Madonna called for police officers involved in fatal shooting incidents to be stripped of their due process following the fatal police shootings of Adam Toledo and Daunte Wright.
“Adam Toledo was 13 years old, Daunte Wright was 20! The Officers who killed them are only being charged with manslaughter. This is insanity. Horrific,” she said in one Instagram post on Saturday. “And yet it has become normalized in our society.”
Stage set for historic federal budget as COVID-19 third wave rages
OTTAWA — The stage is set for arguably the most important federal budget in recent memory, as the Liberal government prepares to unveil its plan for Canada’s post-pandemic recovery even as a third wave of COVID-19 rages across the country.
Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland will present the budget to the House of Commons on Monday afternoon, more than two years after the Liberals’ last such spending plan was unveiled.
The differences between then and now can’t be understated, as not only did the Liberals lose their majority government in the interim, but COVID-19 has upended the lives of Canadians everywhere.
Attack of the drones: the mystery of disappearing swarms in the US midwest
At twilight on New Year’s Eve, 2020, Placido Montoya, 35, a plumber from Fort Morgan, Colorado, was driving to work. Ahead of him he noticed blinking lights in the sky. He’d heard rumours of mysterious drones, whispers in his local community, but now he was seeing them with his own eyes. In the early morning gloom, it was hard to make out how big the lights were and how many were hovering above him. But one thing was clear to Montoya: he needed to give chase.
As he approached the drones in his car, they “took off very fast” and Montoya tried to follow. He confesses hitting 120mph before losing track of them. “They were creepy, really creepy,” he says. “I don’t know how to describe it, but it’s almost as if they were watching us.”
Court Grants Alberta’s Request To Forbid Jailed Pastor From Challenging Health Order During Trial
A provincial court in Alberta, Canada, ruled earlier this week that Pastor James Coates, who was jailed earlier this year after holding church services, will not be allowed to challenge the constitutional validity of Alberta’s Public Health Act during his upcoming trial.
Mission Accomplished: Toronto Star Very Pleased With Erin O’Toole’s Carbon Tax – Conservatives Too Dumb To Appreciate It
Erin O’Toole takes one for the team with his carbon-pricing plan
Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole’s about-face on carbon pricing may not improve the odds that he will become prime minister. The opposite is just as likely. But come what may in the next election and beyond, he will be leaving his party a legacy most Conservatives should eventually come to appreciate.
Far from making the party politically bulletproof on an issue that is increasingly stunting his party’s growth outside of the Prairies, O’Toole’s climate plan — at least in the short term — puts the Conservatives right in the middle of the climate change crossfire.
This I suspect lays out the thinking behind the CPC’s decision to ape LPC policy. Fuck the rest of Canada and concentrate on Ontario and Quebec for electoral success, somewhere down the road. Perhaps not this century but surely maybe some time. It’s worked for the Liberals after all.
Would-be robber SQUEALS LIKE A PIG after being body-slammed
A video making the rounds on social media provided some comic relief for crime-weary Americans, showing an attempted robbery gone wrong when the intended victim grabbed the criminal and slammed him to the pavement.
