Europe Faces Surge in Anti-Christian Attacks as Violence Spreads

St Paul’s in Corbeil Essonnes

Europe is facing a growing wave of anti-Christian violence, with Germany recording the highest number of arson attacks in 2024. According to the Observatory on Intolerance and Discrimination against Christians in Europe (OIDAC Europe), a total of 2,211 anti-Christian offenses were documented across the continent, including 274 personal attacks involving physical violence and threats.

Analysts warn that these figures reflect a climate of growing intolerance that affects local communities in concrete ways.

Nearly 60 Percent of Canadians Support Health Care Reform, Private Care Options: Poll

Nearly six in 10 Canadians support reform of the country’s public health-care system, including use of private clinics when patients face delays in receiving timely care, a new survey suggests.

Think tank SecondStreet.org, in partnership with Leger, polled more than 1,600 adults nationwide on five health-care reform options, based on the experiences of other “better-performing” universal health-care systems around the world, including those in Sweden, Switzerland, the Netherlands, France, Australia, Germany, and Japan, said the report detailing the findings.

The EU’s censorship machine: Dutch conservative influencer Eva Vlaardingerbroek gets X shadow ban lifted but worries about DSA grow

Conservative influencer Eva Vlaardingerbroek has had her shadow ban on X lifted, but Brussels surveillance and censorship machine may just be getting started. While Vlaardingerbroek is a huge name, and X owner Elon Musk may have personally intervened to lift her shadow ban, similar help may not be coming for many other dissident and alternative media accounts across Europe.

Yes, the BBC should apologise – for its covid fearmongering

THE BBC’s doctoring of a Trump speech on a Panorama programme is bad enough, but it pales into insignificance when you consider its coverage of covid over the past five years. The broadcaster shamelessly went along with the government and NHS over lockdowns, masks, testing and the rollout of the vaccines without ever raising a dissenting voice or questioning any of the mandates.

Our governments are willfully blind to the financial fentanyl that is online gambling

Behind the bluster, politics and prescriptions for Canada’s ailing economy are 36,256 stories about the toll financial stress is taking on the people of this country.

That is the number of consumer insolvencies filed between July and September this year, 29 per cent above the four-year average for the same period, according to the Canadian Association of Insolvency and Restructuring Professionals (CAIRP). The accelerating numbers of Canadians who can no longer pay their creditors is a stark measure of the times.


Once the Mob has its hooks in you they don’t let go easily. Expect gambling revenue to become an ever larger source of government funding.

The Borehamwood WhatsApp farce shames the speech police

Britain’s WhatsApping parents can sleep a little easier in their beds. Remember the Borehamwood couple, Maxie Allen and Rosalind Levine, arrested in January after they had complained about their daughter’s primary school on a parents’ WhatsApp group? Well, Hertfordshire Constabulary have now conceded that the arrest, at the hands of six of their officers, was unlawful. Better late than never, I suppose.

It’s Confirmed: Trump is Driving Leftists CRAZY

The news is not unexpected in the least, given the maniacal hatred that leftists have directed at Donald Trump ever since he first announced that he was running for president in 2015, and even before then, when he dared not to strike the appropriate posture of awe and reverence before the august personage of Barack Hussein Obama. Now, however, a psychotherapist has confirmed it: hatred of the president is driving leftists stark, raving mad.

Alleged terrorist released from Canadian Army reserves just days before flying to Israel

Netiv HaAsara – Dead Canadian Terrorist

Zachareah Quraishi of Airdrie, Alta., was released from the Canadian Armed Forces reserves on July 10, last summer. Within 12 days, he’d bought a plane ticket to Israel, rented a car, and obtained a large kitchen knife.

Israeli authorities say that within hours, the 21-year-old attempted a terror attack on Netiv Ha’asara, a gated village of 900 close to the northern border of the Gaza Strip, on July 22.

It’s nice that our outreach extends to training their terrorists.

Fortifications go up in town where thousands protested against plans to house 600 lone male asylum seekers in army camp

Workers have begun converting an army barracks into accommodation for 600 male asylum seekers – despite furious opposition from locals in the small town next door.

Residents are in revolt over the plans for Crowborough Army Training Camp in East Sussex, with 2,000 people flooding the streets for a noisy protest yesterday.

But work has started to prepare the site, with a secondary security fence and residential huts erected, communal bins installed and high-speed fibre cabling laid out.

Reality Caught Up to ‘Climate Change’

For decades, the monolithic and sacrosanct international climate change hierarchy went unquestioned.

Western nations in particular spent trillions of dollars over the past half-century to subsidize expensive but erratic wind and solar energy while demonizing carbon fuels as toxic threats to the planet.

Like Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion dogma, climate change orthodoxy was embedded into every aspect of Western culture, from the corporate boardroom to the university campus.

THEY’RE HERE!: Ottawa science chief says aliens could already be here, urges creation of national UFO office

Canada’s top scientist says it’s not impossible that extraterrestrial probes have already visited Earth — and she wants Ottawa to set up a federal office to handle UFO reports from the public.

Blacklock’s Reporter says a new report from Dr. Mona Nemer, the cabinet-appointed chief science advisor who earns $393,000 a year, says the technology needed for interstellar travel is far beyond anything humans can currently grasp, but not outside the realm of possibility.

Can a CEO’s ‘snitch line’ truly safeguard Canadian industry from foreign steel?

It takes nerves of steel to be a manufacturer these days. Costs and prices now hinge on the whims of a president who treats import duties as if they were a source of external revenue rather than a tax paid by Americans — and uses them as leverage to strong-arm companies into bringing production back to the United States.

And if you’re a North American player with operations on both sides of the Canada-U.S. border, you’re also juggling split allegiances. Like someone who has dual citizenship, you’ve always known which flag to wave depending on where you’ve stood — no need to choose sides, only to protect your interests on both.

That’s no longer so easy.

White House considers political asylum for British ‘thought criminals’

Livia Tossici-Bolt Pro-Life Advocate

The White House is considering offering political asylum to British “thought criminals”, The Telegraph understands.

Donald Trump’s administration is exploring the possibility of extending refugee status to free speech activists who have been prosecuted for their words or for taking part in silent protests outside abortion clinics.

The censoring of pro-life campaigners Livia Tossici-Bolt and Adam Smith Connor raised particular concerns among the president’s key allies.
