Before we get going on the list a short word about Spain. Apparently, and according to our translator from the region, the Right has won federal elections in Spain. This means that what would be the normal course of events, is a coalition government between the new, VOX party, who we have covered extensively at Vlad and as well at GoV and RAIR Foundation, and the PP or Popular Party. If this coalition comes to pass, and if this coalition manages to create restorative legislation and get it enacted and enforced will be the response to the chilling last words in office by Lanark MPP, Randy Hillier, who said upon resigning from office, “There are no political solutions to our problems”. In other words, should Spain manage to correct its course before sinking but after it began its collision with the iceberg, then there is hope for all of us to be able to fix our civilization without having to spend an eternity in Hell to do so. Therefore, paying close attention to Spain is a good idea. The jury is still out on Italy. Some reports say Giorgia Meloni has done nothing to stop the tide of illegal migration to Italy. Not sure what other communist policies she is opposing or accelerating but the EU as a body is enacting more and more communist legislation and Italy does not appear to be threatening to leave the org. to avoid it. Pretty much only Hungary’s Orban is at this point.
Red Pill Germany has this analysis:
Earlier this month, the 2022 Nobel Physics Laureate Dr. John Clauser slammed the ‘climate emergency’ narrative as a “dangerous corruption of science that threatens the world’s economy and the well-being of billions of people”. Inevitably, the punishments have begun. A talk that Dr. Clauser was due to give to the International Monetary Fund on climate models has been abruptly cancelled, and the page announcing the event removed from the IMF site.
Dr. Clauser was due to speak to the IMF’s Independent Evaluation Office this Thursday under the title: “Let’s talk – How much can we trust IPCC climate predictions?” It would appear that “not a lot” isn’t the politically correct answer. Clauser is a longstanding critic of climate models and criticised the award of the Physics Nobel in 2021 for work on them. He is not alone, since many feel that climate models are primarily based on mathematics, and a history of failed opinionated climate predictions leave them undeserving of recognition at the highest level of pure science. Not that this opinion is shared by the green activist National Geographic magazine, which ran an article: “How climate models got so accurate they won a Nobel.”
Last week, Clauser observed that misguided climate science has “metastasised into massive shock-journalistic pseudoscience”. This pseudoscience, he continued, has become a scapegoat for a wide variety of other related ills. It has been promoted and extended by similarly misguided business marketing agents, politicians, journalists, government agencies and environmentalists. “In my opinion, there is no real climate crisis,” he added. Clauser is the latest Nobel physics laureate to dismiss the notion of a climate crisis. Professor Ivar Giaever, a fellow laureate, is the lead signatory of the World Climate Declaration that states there is no climate emergency. It further argues that climate models are “not remotely plausible as global policy tools”. The 1998 winner Professor Robert Laughlin has expressed the view that the climate is “beyond our power to control” and humanity cannot and should not do anything to respond to climate change.
2. This may be a first. Counter-left activists managed to bugger up a “Just Stop Oil” meeting by tying rape alarms to balloons and letting them float to the ceiling. This was brilliant. But it also explains why leftist groups seldom make themselves vulnerable by having meetings anywhere people know about.
3. Turkey issues arrest warrant for Danish politician over Koran burning
A Turkish court issued an arrest warrant for Rasmus Paludan, a far-right Danish leader, following his controversial act of burning a copy of the Quran in front of the Turkish Embassy in Stockholm.
The incident, which took place on Jan. 21, sparked outrage and condemnation across the Islamic world.
The investigation launched by the Ankara Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office against Paludan on the charge of “publicly insulting the religious values” is ongoing.
As part of the investigation, the Chief Public Prosecutor’s Office requested Paludan’s arrest to obtain a statement regarding the Quran-burning incident.
The Ankara 8th Criminal Court of Peace, upon evaluating the request, decided to issue an arrest warrant for the Danish politician.
Türkiye’s condemnation came after Paludan was given permission to burn the Muslim holy book outside the Turkish Embassy in Stockholm.
At this point, far-right is not an adjective at all. It is a slander.
4. Another young healthy sports guy collapses on air
From Brave Search results:
Former Trinidad and Tobago goalkeeper Shaka Hislop is conscious after collapsing while working as a pundit for ESPN in California. Hislop, who made 26 appearances for Trinidad and Tobago, fell to the ground during a pitchside interview at the Rose Bowl.1 Hislop played over 250 Premier League matches for Newcastle, West Ham, and Portsmouth during a distinguished playing career. He has become a popular pundit in the USA since his retirement. It is too early to make any sort of diagnosis, but Hislop is conscious and things are looking OK
Too early for a diagnosis but I bet they treated him for cardiac related issues. So… maybe not too late. Also, while there is no schadenfroide for those who are vaxx injured, those who pushed the shots on others without question and suffered damage from them should be pointed out. See clip at bottom of post.

6. Pastor ‘Exiles’ Family To Kenya To Escape Canadian Persecution Of Christians
For peaceably assembling to petition his government, Rev. Harold Ristau says, he was threatened with the removal of his security clearance and government confiscation of his life’s savings.
ACanadian pastor has “exiled” his family to Kenya after his government invoked emergency war measures to punish citizens who attended a protest where he prayed and sang the national anthem.
Harold Ristau, a decorated veteran and seminary professor, participated in the “trucker convoy” against lockdowns last February, when The Federalist interviewed him last. He is now party to a lawsuit arguing the government’s response to Covid that included treating dissent as terrorism violated Canadians’ fundamental rights.
“The fight is far from over,” said Marty Moore, a lawyer for the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF), which is litigating Ristau’s case. More than 14 months after the protest, police arrested another convoy leader this May. Lockdown litigation will likely continue for several more years, Moore said. The same is true across the West.
For peaceably assembling to petition his government for one day last year, Ristau says, he was threatened with the removal of his security clearance and government confiscation of his retirement nest egg, kids’ college funds, and other life savings. Ristau says he’s also experienced serious damage to his reputation, career, and friendships after the government used anti-terrorism measures against peaceful protesters.
Thank you all for checking out the site today.
It wasn’t a just stop oil meeting, it was a vegan banquet ( sic) in a deconsecrated church where they were bemoaning people who don’t like them and patting themselves on the back for their ‘achievements’…I wonder who coughed up for this vapid pile of dog diarrea…
Right after Franco died – *\o/* – and the champagne celebrations were over, people were groping around for a semblance of democracy. I was in Spain during that transitional period. Wild times.
Seven big-shots los Siete Magníficos from within the dictator’s charmed circle started calling themselves Alianza Popular.
The standard joke was ni alianza, ni popular – neither alliance nor popular. It never reached even 10% of the votes. It took years to shake off the post-Franco hangover and develop a coherent conservative political party.
King Juan Carlos, just a figurehead politically, surprised everyone by his appearance as a stabilizing anchor. Quiet, calm, he reassured everyone that proud Spain had survived worse, and the best is yet to come.
