Iran’s Dissidents Plead with US to Keep Up “Maximum Pressure”

Taking huge personal risks, 38 Iran-based dissidents have asked the Biden administration to retain “maximum pressure” on Iran. In a letter dated February 1, they urge President Joe Biden to maintain “maximum political, diplomatic, and financial pressure on the regime” and to support the Iranians’ “determination in seeking a secular democratic government through a non-violent, free, and fair referendum”.

“Following the JCPOA agreement, when Iran received substantial financial benefits, the Islamic Republic lost a major opportunity to implement meaningful welfare reforms for its people…” the Iranian dissidents write in their letter.

WHO whitewash: Investigators BACK Beijing’s claim Covid did NOT leak from a Wuhan lab and call for ‘no further study into that theory’ – but they WILL probe China’s claim virus was imported on frozen meat

WHO scientists sent on a coronavirus fact-finding mission to China have today thrown their weight behind Beijing – dismissing theories the virus leaked from a lab wile backing theories that the virus was imported on frozen meat.

Peter Embarek, leader of the WHO team, said that ‘further research’ into the imported meat theory – which is being pushed by Beijing – is needed, along with studies looking at early cases of Covid reported outside of China.

At the same time, he dismissed theories that the virus leaked from a lab in Wuhan, saying the possibility is ‘extremely unlikely’ and does not need to be investigated further – despite US government officials calling it ‘the most credible’ theory just a few weeks ago.

Diane Francis: Questions mount over Trudeau’s vaccine dealings with China

Canada’s inept Liberal government is on the B list when it comes to vaccine deliveries. The United States is vaccinating 1.7 million people per day, while Canadians are being told that six million doses will be delivered by the end of March. Maybe.

Trudeau was acting to protect the interests of Canada’s China class, like them he sold us out.

Woman in Gorilla Glue hair horror, may sue over ordeal

A Louisiana woman who went viral after struggling to remove Gorilla Glue from her hair claims that neither the hospital nor the company’s advice helped remove the hardened adhesive.

Now she’s considering a lawsuit to get out of the sticky situation, according to TMZ.

Tessica Brown hired an attorney and is weighing litigation against Gorilla Glue, because while the product’s label warns against using on eyes, skin or clothing, it does not mention hair, the outlet reports.

Joshua Rozenberg: The Hague puts Israel in the crosshairs

Does the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court include “territory occupied by Israel during the Six-Day War in June 1967, namely the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and Gaza”? That’s the question the International Criminal Court’s chief prosecutor, Fatou Bensouda, asked a three-judge “pre-trial chamber” more than a year ago. If, as she argues, the court has jurisdiction over these territories, she can begin a formal investigation into whether “members of the Israel Defence Forces, Israeli (civilian) authorities, Hamas and Palestinian armed groups” have committed war crimes there. That, she accepts, turns on whether Palestine is a “state” for the purposes of the court’s founding treaty. The Palestinians are a party to the Rome Statute; Israel is not.

Most Canadians, including most Albertans, appear to be ready to give up on Keystone XL pipeline: poll

The majority of Albertans appear to be on the same page as the majority of other Canadians on feeling that it’s time to give up the fight to get a new section of the Keystone XL pipeline built, according to the results of a survey that were released on Tuesday.

The Ipsos poll, conducted exclusively for Global News, saw 44 per cent of respondents say they would rather see Canada focus on building infrastructure within its own borders to transport and refine Canadian oil and natural gas products for international markets.

FUREY: Ontario fear-mongered we’d face 20,000 cases — we’re at 1,200

Last Wednesday, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts re-opened. Massachusetts art lovers no longer have to worry that they’ll miss their chance to see the gallery’s current exhibitions of Monet, Cezanne, and Jean-Michel Basquiat.

While it’s already a cavernous space, the gallery has a number of COVID-19 protocols in place, including time-reserved tickets, limited capacity, and mandatory mask-wearing.

More good news… Eviction enforcement resumes in three eastern Ontario regions Wednesday. Toronto set to follow on Feb. 22

“Canadians have a right to not be detained” | Keean Bexte on mandatory quarantine for travellers

On last Friday’s episode of Rebel Roundup, host David Menzies was joined by Alberta-based Rebel reporter Keean Bexte to discuss his story about a woman in Calgary who was forced into quarantine in one of the federal government’s COVID-19 hotel/jails.

No matter what you call it, Canadians are being held against their will by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s federal government — ironic, coming from a government that touts itself as being transparent.

When Education Becomes (Literal) Indoctrination

On Feb. 16, a joint committee of the state legislature will decide whether to turn into a legal requirement the State Board of Education’s recommendation that — until a slight rewording — would mandate that all public-school teachers “embrace and encourage progressive viewpoints and perspectives.” If the board’s policy is ratified, Illinois will become a place congenial only for parents who are comfortable consigning their children to “education” that is political indoctrination, audaciously announced and comprehensively enforced.
