National Suicide Is Better Than Rudeness

“A Small European Nation Has a Big Explosions Problem,” a New York Times story recently reported. The story clarified that the small nation was the Netherlands, it never did clarify who was behind the over 700 bombings so far this year. Saying it out loud would have been impolite.

European nations, small and great, have all sorts of mysterious unexplained problems that they never used to before. The Netherlands has a rash of bombings. In the UK, acid attacks are up 75%. Much like the bombings in the Netherlands, none of the news stories clarify why a phenomenon associated with a whole other part of the world had migrated to the UK.

Michael Taube: Of course globally focused Carney hasn’t opened his constituency office yet

Mark Carney has been Canada’s Prime Minister for slightly over 100 days. Yet, he still hasn’t done the one thing his predecessors did in short order: open a constituency office.

MPs of different parties often don’t have constituency offices for short periods of time. The reasons are usually straightforward and completely understandable, including moving locations and hiring new staff members. The matter is typically resolved quickly.

Could defeat radicalise Ukraine?

Dishonoured nations turn violent

Humiliation on the battlefield is one of the most reliable catalysts for an ultranationalist backlash. From the Freikorps in Germany to Russian “violence merchants” — the embittered veterans of the Afghan War and the brutal conflicts of the Nineties — rage, criminality, and organised violence have a habit of spilling back into society when wars end in dishonour. Disappointed, traumatised troops return home with the conviction that only force can redeem the nation, spreading chaos and revanchist politics as they go. And, if Vladimir Putin manages to draw Donald Trump into agreeing to a one-sided peace deal that will reward his war of aggression and leave thousands of Ukrainians stranded under a brutal Russian occupation, history could yet repeat itself in Kyiv.

When a tweet rates worse than a rape – the strangulation of free speech

SINCE 2021, the Index on Censorship has ranked Britain as ‘partially open’ (the third tier). Britain ranks 20th for press freedom (worse than Trinidad and Tobago).

Just released: The US State Department concludes that in 2024, Britain’s human rights ‘worsened’ and the British government is partial in protecting rights and freedoms: ‘Significant human rights issues included credible reports of serious restrictions on freedom of expression, including enforcement of or threat of criminal or civil laws in order to limit expression; and crimes, violence, or threats of violence motivated by antisemitism. The government sometimes took credible steps to identify and punish officials who committed human rights abuses, but prosecution and punishment for such abuses was inconsistent.’

Occam’s Razor – Cooking Gardening and Canning

Welcome. We didn’t get anymore rain, and the forecast for more has diminished, as well as the temperature. A 4 degree drop from the prior forecast for today. You can feel the absence of humidity.

The beans continue to provide enough for a daily meal, but not enough to can, and I’m lovin’ the saute with carrots & garlic simmered in soya sauce after harvesting them straight from the backyard.

WAR! DDOS ATTACK & 429 Too Many Requests Error Message

WAR! DDOS ATTACK & 429 Too Many Requests Error Message

Attention Readers: Enable Java Script In Your Browser And Pause or Whitelist this site in Your Ad Block Program Or You May Be Caught in The 429 Too Many Requests Error Vortex

Hello Everyone,

My most excellent web host was called in to provide an answer for those running into the dread 429 Too Many Requests Error Message you’ve been receiving.

BCF has been under a prolonged DDOS attack lasting several months. The 429 error likely arises from this however my host also suggests that you turn your Ad Blocker off and enable Java script in your browser or you may not be able to land onsite.

The pic below shows the level of Allowed versus Blocked requests. Somebody out there doesn’t like us.

From my web host:

Those 2 reader IPs we tested, that’s some funky behaviour there, and they are being caught with a javascript challenge, I assume they have javascript disabled on their browser or have some adblocker installed. So check to confirm, and let readers know that adblockers and disabling javascript will get them blocked while you are under this considerable ddos, vigilance needs to be high.

But those requests really are funky, are you sure they are legit users, 30 requests to the homepage in a second looks like ddos, I don’t know of a legit reason that would be happening.

I don’t see a dramatic drop in visitors, DDoS has been at the current load for a while now.

Thank you for your support and patience.

Fury as Labour-run council tears down ‘dangerous’ St George’s and Union Jack flags from city streets (but Palestine flags are allowed)

A Labour-run council has sparked a major backlash by tearing down St George’s and Union Jack flags from streets because they ‘could put lives at risk’ – despite Palestinian flags flying high across the city for several months.

Former Conservative leader Sir Iain Duncan Smith accused Birmingham City Council of piling ‘bias and absurdity on top of their utter incompetence’, pointing out they have managed to find workers to take down flags after months of bin strikes.

Scores of British flags have sprung up on lampposts and buildings across parts of Northfield, Birmingham, in what organisers have described as a ‘patriotic outpouring’.

Home Depots across L.A. become battleground in new phase of ICE raids

ICE Raids LA Home Depot

There is a new reality emerging in the parking lots of one of America’s biggest home improvement stores, highlighted by incidents big and small across Los Angeles.

Construction workers are still hauling lumber and nails, and DIY homeowners pushing carts of paint and soil. But all of a sudden, federal immigration agents may appear.

On Thursday, they moved on a Home Depot parking lot in Monrovia, sending laborers running, including a man who jumped a wall and onto the 210 Freeway, where he was fatally struck. A day prior, fear of a possible raid at a Ladera Ranch location sparked warnings across social media.

Poll shows Poilievre’s abortion stance at odds with Battle River–Crowfoot voters

A new poll suggests Pierre Poilievre’s abortion stance is wildly out of step with voters in the upcoming Battle River–Crowfoot by-election.

The survey, conducted July 23 by National Public Research Canada for Campaign Life Coalition, found nearly 80% of constituents hold views sharply different from Poilievre’s position of unrestricted abortion access through all nine months of pregnancy.

The use of dogs in medical research is a tragedy

More than 100 years ago, two researchers began combing downtown Toronto in search of dogs for their medical experiments. They had already gone through about a dozen dogs provided by the University of Toronto, but the pair had killed them all: one using too much anesthetic, another in surgery during which the dog bled out, and most of them due to infections from surgeries performed in unsanitary conditions.

Bournemouth police are losing control

Who is Ritchie Wellman? He is a father, a boyfriend, an assistant operations manager at a local business and a part-time paedophile hunter. Right now, however, at 7 p.m. in a dusty car park down the road from Bournemouth pier, Ritchie is the commander of his own private policing unit, briefing his officers before their first patrol. He tells them not to assault anybody, not to be provoked, not to drink or smoke on the job, and to reassure the public if they are concerned by this new authority on their streets: ‘This is not a takeover.’

Ritchie is a normal guy, and he and his officers and others in Bournemouth like them believe that their town is falling apart and that the state is not coming to save it. They say rapes, stabbings, violent disorder and anti-social behaviour are turning their home into somewhere that they do not recognise. The police tried to make it safer but failed. Now it’s the people’s turn.

U.S. State Department report reveals Online News Act undermines press freedom in Canada through advocacy of extreme left DEI prejudice

The State Department took issue with a stream of that initiative that prioritizes the hiring of diverse journalists, including those who are Indigenous, Black, have disabilities or are part of the LGBTQ community. The report claimed that discriminated “against journalists who fell outside of these favoured categories.”

OTTAWA – The U.S. State Department is taking aim at Canada’s Online News Act in a human rights report that criticizes press freedom in Canada — which experts characterized Thursday as Orwellian.

The Online News Act, which requires Meta and Google to compensate news publishers for the use of their content, is cited in a section of the report covering freedom of the press.

“The U.S. is determined to crush two important pieces of Canadian legislation, the Online News Act and the Online Streaming Act. Their end game is clear,” said Fen Hampson, an international affairs professor at Carleton University.

The only Newspeak spoken is by the racists attempting to mask their blatant support for DEI and their hatred of White males. 

And what “historical harms”? Correct spelling? Good Grammar? Coloring within the lines?

Oh look Hermida was with the bullshit BBC.

No but the decision did account for the ‘social context’ of Toronto police Supt. Stacy Clarke being a dishonorable cop

THUG LIFE!

Toronto police Supt. Stacy Clarke’s demotion for cheating didn’t account for ‘social context’ of anti-Black racism, appeal hears

A Toronto police superintendent has asked an Ontario police watchdog to overturn her two-year demotion for helping several junior officers cheat to get promoted, arguing she should automatically return to her history-making rank in one year.

Supt. Stacy Clarke, the first Black female superintendent in Toronto police history, appeared before a three-person panel with the Ontario Police Arbitration and Adjudication Commission (OPAAC) on Thursday to appeal a decision to knock down her rank to inspector for two years — a penalty described in her appeal document as “excessive, unduly harsh and disproportionate.”

It was racist to allow her to remain on the force.
