The world will suffer ‘cataclysms and disasters’ in 2021 and a ‘strong dragon’ will seize humanity but a cure for cancer will also be found, according to blind Balkan mystic Baba Vanga who ‘predicted 9/11’

2020 was a year that turned the world on its head – but anyone hoping for respite in 2021 may have to think again, at least according to predictions made by blind Bulgarian mystic Baba Vanga.

The supposed clairvoyant predicted that the world will suffer from ‘a lot of cataclysms and great disasters’ in 2021 as three ‘giants’ unite and a ‘strong dragon’ seizes humanity.

‘Difficult times will come,’ the mystic is said to have predicted before her own death in 1996, adding that ‘people will be divided by their faith’.

Our Upside-Down Postelection World

Our Upside-Down Postelection World

After Nov. 3, the meaning of some words and concepts abruptly changed. Have you noticed how new realities have replaced old ones?

Media cross-examination of the president is now an out-of-date idea. The time for gotcha questions has come and gone. Why ask a president whether he is a traitor or a crook when you can focus on his favorite flavor of milkshake or compliment him on his socks?

US election 2020: FBI links Iran to websites targeting poll officials

US election 2020: FBI links Iran to websites targeting poll officials

Iranian cyber actors were “almost certainly” behind a number of websites and social media accounts which contained death threats against senior officials in charge of securing and managing the 2020 election, two US security agencies have announced.

In a joint statement published on 23 December, the FBI and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (Cisa) said they were in possession of “highly credible information” indicating Iran was responsible for the operation.

The operation “demonstrates an ongoing Iranian intent to create divisions and mistrust in the United States and undermine public confidence in the US electoral process”, it added.

2020 Hindsight – Matthew Lau: Progressives’ year of planning blindly

It has been a busy year for progressives. At the start of the year, Justin Trudeau was lecturing people on standing up for gender equality; by mid-year he was kneeling in solidarity with BLM. Now, as the year draws to a close, he is telling everyone to rise back up to confront the existential global warming crisis. Throughout the standing, kneeling, and rising the federal government nearly doubled its spending to pay for mandated economic shutdowns and to “reset” the country in a more feminist, intersectional, and climate-friendly direction. It is unclear what kind of calisthenics Mr. Trudeau has planned for us next year.

Christmas Cheer: Poll Shows Liberals Lacking Enough Support to Secure a Majority Election Win

Christmas Cheer: Poll Shows Liberals Lacking Enough Support to Secure a Majority Election Win

A new poll suggests that although the Liberal government may have gained a slight lead in popularity due to its handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, it may not be enough for them to win a majority.

The survey, conducted by Ipsos between Dec. 11 and Dec. 14, asked 1,000 randomly-selected Canadians aged 18 and above via an online interview which political party they would most likely support if a federal election was held.

The Truth About White Flight

Conventional history of the exodus out of cities ignores numerous complex and interrelated causes.

Speaking at an October 2019 Obama Foundation Summit, Michelle Obama reminisced about growing up in South Shore, a Chicago lakefront neighborhood. Some memories were bitter. The former First Lady, born in 1964, lamented living through “white flight.” As “upstanding families like ours, who were doing everything we were supposed to do . . . moved in,” she said, “white folks moved out.”

If your family moved because they wanted a bigger house in a less congested area with better schools and services with a lower tax burden then your family is racist. Seems legit.

Trans Santa Is Coming to Town – Kris Kringle will now help children with their attempted sex changes.

The latest tactic to indoctrinate children into transgenderism — convincing them that maybe they too are supposed to “change” their sex through a series of risky medical treatments — is particularly monstrous. Santa Claus is now “Transanta,” and she delivers chest binders and boxer shorts to 13-year-old girls behind their parents’ backs.

“We are transing Santa — join us! Transness is so beautiful and we are celebrating our magic,” said actor Indya Moore, who founded “Transanta.”

Military Diversity Board Proposes Ban on ‘Hate Group Activity,’ Citing SPLC

Joe Biden may not yet be president, but it seems the military may already be considering a policy banning servicemembers from activities sponsored by conservative and Christian organizations. Last week, Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller acted on a report from the Department of Defense’s (DoD) Diversity and Inclusion Board. Among other things, the board recommended that official policy “prohibit extremist or hate group activity,” citing the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) on the influence of “hate groups” in the military.

Fauci: Herd immunity could require 90 percent of country to be vaccinated

Fauci: Herd immunity could require 90 percent of country to be vaccinated

Achieving herd immunity against the coronavirus could require as much as 90 percent of the population to be vaccinated, Anthony Fauci said in an interview published Thursday.

Fauci, the country’s top infectious diseases expert, acknowledged in the New York Times interview that he has been incrementally raising his estimate of herd immunity numbers.

Fauci said he has been increasing the estimates in his public pronouncements because he thinks Americans are now able to handle the message that getting back to normal may take longer than anticipated, and fewer Americans are reporting being skeptical of taking a vaccine.
