Britain’s ‘Jihad Seeker’s Allowance’

Few relationships feature one party that freely gives and another party that only takes as blatantly as the relationship between the West and Islam.  Thus, according to a Feb. 1, 2021 report, “The British taxpayer has shelled out over £15,000 to the widow of the mastermind behind the 2017 London Bridge terror attack, while the families of victims were denied similar financial support.”

During that attack, Zahrah Rehman’s husband, Khuram Butt, and two other Muslims, killed eight people and injured another 48, by running over them with a van and stabbing them with knives.  If police had not managed to shoot and kill the three terrorists, many more passersby would likely have been killed.

150 People Were Shot in Chicago Since Illinois Sent the National Guard to D.C.

150 People Were Shot in Chicago Since Illinois Sent the National Guard to D.C.

Democrats occupy D.C. while their own people die every day.

After shooting deaths shot up 75% in Chicago, Governor Pritzker announced that he was dispatching 500 more National Guard troops to fight “the dark forces of racism” in D.C.

Washington D.C. may be suffering from “the dark forces of racism” since it’s currently in the hands of the party of racism, slavery, and segregation, but those National Guard troops would do a lot more good in Chicago where 81%, the majority of shooting victims, are black.

Hit-job journalism misses the target again

Jordan Peterson’s critics continue to ignore the most interesting thing about him

The hit-job interview is a staple of British journalism. There is, I suppose, an obvious attraction to it: while it can destroy its subject, it can also make the career of a journalist. And yet for the reader, listener or viewer, it can also be deeply boring — for the simple reason that if the journalist makes clear their conclusion from the outset, there’s no chance of having a reasonable discussion. People who agree with it rejoice, those who don’t switch off. Nothing gets learned; no ideas are properly discussed.

We must never surrender to the New Normal

We must never surrender to the New Normal

Covid poses a serious threat to humankind. So does the culture of fear.

This lockdown feels different to the first one. Everyone can sense it. It feels greyer, more dispiriting. The sunny weather of the April / May lockdown has been replaced by rain and the occasional snowstorm, robbing even our ‘daily’ walk of its tiny promise of pleasure. The social solidarity of the first lockdown has been usurped by a concerted emphasis on the necessity of atomisation. Back in March, April, May, we set up local WhatsApp groups and pulled together to shop and care for isolated neighbours. This time round if you go outside you’ll be greeted by ghoulish public-health posters featuring elderly people in oxygen masks and the reprimanding line: ‘Look her in the eyes and tell her you never twist the rules.’ First time round we were assistants to the elderly; this time round we’re their potential killers.

Vaccine Skepticism – Why are some health-care personnel reluctant to get the shot?

The core U.S. strategy for returning to pre-pandemic societal functioning is to vaccinate all eligible individuals. The two Covid-19 vaccines currently approved for emergency use and being distributed to the states have been shown to be highly effective in preventing infection and serious disease. It is hoped, but not yet proven, that the vaccines will also prevent transmission from a vaccinated person who has been exposed to an unimmunized individual, an important step to achieving herd immunity. The key to securing these benefits is getting people to accept vaccination. The CDC has recommended that health-care personnel and residents of long-term care facilities be offered the first doses of Covid-19 vaccines, as they are high-risk populations.

UK expelled Chinese journalists ‘working as spies’

UK expelled Chinese journalists ‘working as spies’

Three journalists who were allegedly working as spies for China were asked to leave the UK last year.

Their departure, first reported by the Daily Telegraph, came because they had arrived under journalism visas but were believed to be working for the Ministry of State Security, part of China’s intelligence apparatus.

Their departure was low-key and did not come in the past few months.

The Home Office declined to comment on the reports.

ICC Decides Its Jurisdiction Extends to Territories Controlled by Israel Since 1967 Six Day War

The court has for years been examining allegations of war crimes committed by Israel since 2014. The investigation started one month before both sides fought a war, which left more than 2,000 Palestinians, including civilians dead.

The International Criminal Court said it had decided by majority that its territorial jurisdiction “in the situation in Palestine” extends to territories held by Israel since 1967 Six-Day War, namely Gaza and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem. The court’s announcement paves the way for an investigation. However, the ICC noted that it is not “constitutionally competent” to determine matters of statehood that would bind the international community.

The ICC, like the UN, is yet another corrupt institution dominated by shithole states.

Why Is Identity Politics Destroying America?

Tribalism has turned toxic in the age of social media.

Man is by nature a tribal creature. For many thousands of years, human existence was defined by family connections, with ties of blood and marriage providing the social network that ensured cooperation and support necessary to sustaining life. Loyalty to one’s kinship group — the tribe or clan — was vital to this system of cooperation, and from the deeply rooted tribal nature of human life emerges the sense of national identity that inspires what we call patriotism.

BBC returns fire after China accuses state-owned news corp of ‘fake news’ and ‘ideological bias’

The UK’s state-run BBC news outlet has rejected accusations by China’s Foreign Ministry that the agency reported “fake news” when covering the Covid-19 crisis in China, saying it stands by its “accurate and fair reporting.”

Amid escalating tensions between the two nations, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said Thursday that it had registered “stern representations” with the British Broadcasting Corporation while demanding an apology for unfair and biased reporting on the handling of the coronavirus pandemic in China.

Human Rights Violations No One Talks About

On January 3, 2021, the Hamas-controlled Palestinian Land Authority (PLA) in the Gaza Strip “removed” three houses — one of which had been inhabited by a family of three — and bulldozed about 30 dunums (7.4 acres) of agricultural land in the as-Salam neighborhood west of the Rafah border crossing with Egypt.

The decision to bulldoze the houses and fields — which came on short notice and did not include direct notifications to those affected by it — inflicted financial damage on farmers and displaced several Palestinians from their houses, according to the Gaza-based Al Mezan Center for Human Rights.

British woman faces prison in Dubai for telling flatmate to ‘f*** off’ on Whatsapp

A British woman has been detained in Dubai after her flatmate reported her for saying ‘f**k you’ in a private WhatsApp row during lockdown.

The unnamed woman, 31, had been arguing with her Ukrainian flatmate over the use of the dining room table while working from home in October last year. She then attempted to leave the United Arab Emirates and move back to the UK on Saturday, after finding a new job.
