This Canadian is charged with a terrorism hoax. Two experts counselled him. Only one still believes him

This Canadian is charged with a terrorism hoax. Two experts counselled him. Only one still believes him

Amarnath Amarasingam and Mubin Shaikh are both regarded as experts in radicalization.

Both say they have spent extensive amounts of time counselling Shehroze Chaudhry, a 26-year-old Burlington, Ont. man now facing a rare terrorism-hoax charge and recently labelled a “fabulist” by The New York Times over his claims that he committed atrocities on behalf of the Islamic State in Syria.

For his part, Shaikh, a Seneca College professor and former counterterrorism operative for the Canadian Security Intelligence Service and Royal Canadian Mounted Police, says he now believes Chaudhry never stepped foot in Syria and got caught up in his own “fantasy.”

Yet Amarasingam, a Queen’s University professor, isn’t so quick to dismiss Chaudhry’s claims, noting he’s seen signs of “remorse” and “survivor’s guilt” in the young man.

This sick joke is what passes for expertise in “Canadian” counter-jihad.  Good Lord.

Gun violence still a Toronto reality 15 years after deadly Boxing Day shootout

When bullets fly in the city — often piercing kitchen windows, shattering TVs or sailing over children’s beds — all we can do is shake our heads and be thankful innocent victims weren’t injured or killed.

Sadly, there are times when that luck runs out — like Boxing Day 2005 when a gunfight broke out on a bustling Yonge St., just north of Dundas St., killing Jane Creba and wounding six others.

Kim Philby & George Blake, Moscow

The former British spy and Soviet Union double agent George Blake has died at the age of 98.

The RIA news agency reported that Blake died in Russia, citing the country’s SVR foreign intelligence agency. “We received some bitter news – the legendary George Blake passed away,” it said.

Blake was the last in a line of British spies to operate secretly for the Soviet Union, exposing the identities of hundreds of western agents across eastern Europe in the 1950s and humiliating the intelligence establishment when his work was discovered at the height of the cold war.

No More Space for Whites: Denver City Council Voted to Rename Columbus Park as La Raza Park

The city of Denver is not interested in preserving white history.

On December 21, 2020, the Denver City Council unanimously voted in favor of legislation to rename Columbus Park as La Raza Park.

La Raza means “the race” and is usually a term that Hispanic activists use to define themselves as a separate group from the rest of normal America. This name change reflects the slogan the Chicano movement used during the 1960s and 1970s, when they routinely chanted “Viva la raza” (Long live the race).

MUSLIM TERRORISTS posing as asylum seekers waiting in South America for green light from Biden to enter the U.S.

Next year’s now-broadly predicted surge of illegal immigration to the U.S. Southwest Border — largely the result of the Biden campaign’s months of messaging that the incoming president will clear all obstacles and penalties for it — will include not only Spanish-speakers – but Muslims from terrorism-supporting countries.

Kwanzaa: A Fake Holiday With A Racist Goal, Created By A Criminal Madman

Those who are around my age woke up at the end of December one year and discovered that the “holiday season” of Christmas and New Year’s became a trio, with the addition of something called Kwanzaa. Oh sure, there were rumblings of a new holiday. But political correctness and #MeToo are essential causes. Which raises the question, why is a day invented in 1966 by a rapist who ran a Black separatist group is considered by some as a holiday on par with Christmas, Chanukah, or New Year’s.

Should provinces reserve COVID-19 vaccine 2nd doses or administer them all right away?

With the Georgia Senate runoff races just two weeks away, the Department of Homeland Security is warning of the possibility of “ideologically motivated violence” in a new report.

Democrat Governors Freed the Criminals and Killed the Elderly

They released criminals to protect them from the virus – and locked nursing home patients in with the virus.

In March, Governor Cuomo’s administration ordered nursing homes to accept infected coronavirus patients and prohibited even testing incoming patients for the virus. The same month that Cuomo began the process of infecting countless nursing home residents with the virus, he also began freeing thousands of criminals from prison to protect them from the virus

Have yourself a melancholy Christmas

Last week, shortly before he gave us no choice, Boris Johnson urged us to have ourselves “a very little Christmas.” His words were, of course, a reference to Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, a song which I used to hate.

First sung by Judy Garland, it’s been covered countless times — mostly in syrup. I blame Frank Sinatra, whose schmaltzy 1957 version smothered the essential sadness of the melody and lyrics. Indeed, he had the words rewritten. Thus “next year all our troubles will be out of sight” became “from now on, our troubles will be out of sight”.
