1. Although this story is from September of 2019, the fact that a person at the RCMP who happens to speak Mandarin, was arrested for wholesale dumping of Canada’s top secrets to an unnamed foreign government, deserves looking at again in the wake of the Wuhan Flu. Do the Chinese have Kompromat on Trudeau? Do they even need it?
“These are kind of the Crown jewels of national security intelligence,” said Leah West, who teaches national security law at Carleton’s Norman Paterson School of International Affairs.
A source tells CBC News that because Ortis’s work was so central to national security, federal departments across government are conducting in-house damage assessments in the wake of his arrest. […]
“There’s really no overstating what he could have had access to. The devil is in the details on what he actually took,” said former CSIS analyst Jessica Davis.
“This could range from somewhat injurious to seriously detrimental to our national security and the partnerships we have with our allies.” […]
Over the span of his career Ortis had some of the highest access to classified and allied information within the RCMP, said Davis. Sources who are familiar with his work said he would have had knowledge of code words and operations.
He was known for his expertise in East Asian affairs, critical infrastructure and the use of “bots” online. According to his LinkedIn profile, Ortis speaks Mandarin.
2. New Danish Bible translation purges Israel
A new official translation of the Bible into Danish arouses wonder among religious people. The Danish “Bible Society”, which is responsible for the translation, has cleansed the New Testament – which in the new edition is called “The New Agreement” of the word “Israel”.
According to Jan Frost, who has read the new edition, it applies both when the land of Israel and when the people of Israel are mentioned. Israel is otherwise mentioned in this way in the New Testament more than 60 times.
Mr. Frost states in a video posted on YouTube that the word ‘Israel’ is only used once in the “Bible 2020”, which is the name od the new edition. In all other passages, the word ‘Israel’ is either replaced with ‘Jews’, ‘the land of the Jews‘ or not replaced with an alternative term at all
The translators of the new edition, according to Jan Frost, offer the explanation, that the land of Israel in biblical times was not identical to present Israel.
But the same logic is not applied by the translators when the land of Egypt is mentioned. This land is also called ‘Egypt’ in the new edition of the Bible.
On social media, several users are furious at the radical change of such a central element of the New Testament, and a widespread criticism suggests a suspicion that Israel has been removed for political reasons.
3. This is why Turkey has a fast COVID-19 recovery rate
(This article is pretty obviously pro-Erdogan propaganda to a high degree. But there is substance there nonetheless.)
- Tactical Talk: The death rate in Turkey is slower than in the top 10 countries in terms of the number of cases, and the recovery rate is one of the highest. For instance, the ‘increase rate’ of deaths in Turkey is half of that in the U.S., which has suffered the most casualties.How? According to the Turkish Ministry of Health, Turkey had stockpiled 1 million units of the medicines hydroxychloroquine and favipiravir exactly one-and-a-half months before any cases were seen in the country. So far, no country has utilized hydroxychloroquine under protocols similar to the one implemented in Turkey. While this medicine is used to treat the second or third stages of the disease in many countries, Turkey has required not only diagnosed patients, but also patients who are under tight medical follow-up at home, and even ones suspected of being infected, to take this medicine in the early stages of infection.* The number of beds per 1,000 inhabitants is about 2.8 in Turkey, where public hospitals have 75 percent of the total bed capacity *
In addition, according to the Ministry of Health, favipiravir brought from China is also being used in a unique protocol in Turkey. Unlike Chinese doctors, Turkish doctors have discovered that early intubation extends the length of the disease and giving high-flow oxygen leads to more successful and faster treatment. Currently, Turkey is working on plasma therapy, stem cell use and vaccines to combat the virus. A patent application has also been filed for a medical device that shines ultraviolet light into the lungs.
4. Hungary reacts to the usual Communist spin of the EU on Hungary’s new laws concerning authority during the Wuhan Flu crisis
5. More anti-quarantine protests in the USA in multiple states. Fox News challenges a State Attorney and appears to challenge him on the loss of rights but is actually kind of submissive to his view. The video may or may not play. If it doesn’t leave a comment and I will restore.
6. A more real video on restoration of individual rights
7. Computing Forever 2 part on connecting the dots.
Part I:
(One small issue with part 1 love and its no fault of the speaker. On tourism, they are bringing in 3rd world illegals by the boat and planeload now anyway despite the lockdowns. So any restrictions based on a health ‘passport’ to come will be selectively enforced against Greek thinkers, or in other words, white people, or any people who are steeped in the culture, traditions and methods of thought and behaviour that makes up Western Civilization. It will become very hard to travel from Italy to the US. But not from Somalia or Afghanistan to anywhere they bloody well please.)
Part II:
8. Libyan Grand Mufti says suicide bombings perfectly permissible. In case there is anyone left out there with heads in the sand so very deep that they don’t already know this
9. Oil prices below zero.
10. A good explanation of what the negative price on oil really means. Its not quite what people are saying it is.
Thank you Xanthippa, M., Wrath of Khan, Johnny U., EB., ET., Richard, and so many more who are being so dedicated to this community with their efforts in many ways.
I hope to have an especially good interview with Brad Johnson up this evening ET. Two actually.
1- Has Dear Leader left the Rideau “cottage” in the last month except to visit the official cottage?
Why do he not break the CCP party line he so faithfully tows? It’s so conspicuous it really does beg scrutiny. We would be more ready to believe Dystopia shares the world’s longest border with Red China rather than the USA, if we didn’t know better.

Has someone left Justine?
5 – What struck me was the way the man kept saying lets don’t make this a partisan issue, his attitude was that unless you were willing to roll over and play dead for the politicians you were making a partisan issue of a matter that is to important for partisan politics. Isn’t his attitude partisan politics? He showed no interest in trying to understand why the people were protesting.
6- Pelosi has no idea of how the ordinary people live and odesn’t want to learn, she wants us to shut up and let our betters decide what is best for us. Meaning what is best for them and screw us and what is happening to us. This attitude is why Hillary lost and why the Dems are going to lose in November, we don’t have, don’t want and don’t need an aristocracy to run this nation. Her attitude shows why we need a Constitutional Amendment limiting the amount of time that anyone can serve in Congress and how long people can work in the Federal Bureaucracy. The only way we will get this is to hold a Convention of the States because the members of Congress will never vote to limit the amount of time they can get rich for coning very little to doing nothing.
Today would’ve been Patriot’s Day.
We were born as a nation resisting totalitarian diktats. Our Constitution defines the powers of the States and the Federal govt. Those are LIMITS on power; everything else is local or natural law.
Pelosi, the Courts, the bureaucracy – they’re ANTI-Constitution. My wretched State would send more of the same to any Constitutional Convention. Who’d trust them?
