1. Honest Reporting exposes CBC’s “Mostly Peaceful” dialectic approach to the anti-Israel protests
A brief excerpt:
In a May 10 CBC News article entitled: “How rallying around divestments helped unify Canada’s pro-Palestinian movement,” Senior Investigative Journalist Jonathan Montpetit presented a grossly one-sided, biased narrative that lacked context, minimized bad behavior, and distorted the truth.
The article glorified the illegal encampment movement and the related Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, uncritically starting from the assumption that they are merely “social movement[s].” Never was any meaningful space or attention given to the reasons that these movements are so heavily criticized, nor to the widespread adverse effects they are having on the lives of Jewish Canadians, nor to the nefarious external origins of their funding and leadership, nor to correcting the various falsehoods and inconsistencies in the claims made by the people the CBC reporter showcased.
Montpetit repeatedly cited Palestinian activist’s outlandish claims, such as how: “settler colonialism can describe not only how Israel was formed in 1948 but also the country’s aspirations for the remaining Palestinian territories — Gaza and the West Bank.”
One can only stand in awe and amazement at the immense talent it must take to be able to get that many things wrong in just a few short words.
Firstly, the claim that Israel’s formation was an example of “settler colonialism” is a gross and false distortion of history that is not taken seriously by anyone outside of fringe anti-Israel activist circles. “Settler colonialism,” as the name suggests, includes two parts — a colonizing power who conquers a land, and settlers who usurp the native population’s presence on the colonizer’s behalf. While this certainly describes the process by which various modern countries were born, it does not in any way reflect the way modern Israel came to be.
Modern Israel’s founding involved the indigenous population of the land (the Jews), who had been systematically and forcibly removed again and again by colonial powers over the years, voluntarily returning to purchase and develop largely uninhabited areas of the region for the purpose of self-determination. After the international community formally recognized this right, those communities declared themselves an independent state — agreeing to live peacefully alongside a separate independent state for their Arab neighbours on parts of their ancestral and legally-promised territories. Unfortunately, the Arab leadership rejected this compromise, refusing to recognize the rights of Jews to govern themselves anywhere in the region and launched an attempted war of annihilation against Israel — which ultimately caused the displacement of many Palestinians. Ever since, dishonest extremists have peddled the false myth that Israel was created by foreign invaders kicking the locals off their land.
2. Peter McCullough: Chloroquine Highly Effective Treatment for Acute H5N1 Infection in Preclinical Model
(Before anyone runs out and gets a vaccine for Bird flu…)
By Peter A. McCullough, MD, MPH
Globally, from January 2003 to 31 March 2022, there have been 863 cases of human infection with avian influenza A(H5N1) virus reported from 18 countries. Of these 863 cases, 455 were fatal (CFR of 53%). Fatalities have occured in multiple countries. In the last twenty years, the nations with the most cases and deaths are Cambodia, China, Loas, and Viet Nam. However the casualty was reported from United Kingdom in January 2022.
Because highly pathogenic avian influenza is so infrequent, there have been no randomized trials or human studies of treatment. Therefore, we must rely on preclinical data with drugs that are already used and proven safe in humans.
Yan, et al studied H5N1 infection in the laboratory and demonstrated that physiological relevant concentrations of chloroquine inhibited viral entry and damage to human cells. Additionally, when given as treatment and not prophylaxis, chloroquine reduced pulmonary alveolar infiltrates and improved survival in mice after a lethal dose of H5N1 from zero to 70%.

4. I feel like we are falling into the ‘hypocrisy’ trap posting this video. And probably everyone not a communist has seen this already. The fact is, intersectionality means that all people who can be persuaded to become politically left because they have a sexual orientation other than heterosexual adult, should ally themselves with Muslims for the project of destroying the West. To make a poor but somewhat apt analogy, its like using a car to get your groceries, but knowing that if you sit in that car in the garage with the door closed and the car window open, you will die of the exhaust. In this analogy, the left thinks its the driver and Islam is the car. One could parse the logic, for instance, Intersectionality is based on the approximate idea of all oppressed groups joining against the Western patriarchy/colonialist/whatever but in fact Islam is a million times more oppresive towards alternate sexual practices and lifestyles, but we are not talking Socrates here. We are talking Hegel. And all that matters in the Hegelian dialectic, is destruction of all that we have.
We could angrily think or talk if we dare, about the Karma that will come to the homosexuals should politicized homosexuality and alt.sex along with Islam succeed in destroying the only nation-states that protect them, and they are lft to the conseqiuences of sharia law And this is what The Rubin Report is of course facetiously alluding to. But civilizationally speaking it makes no difference. Non-Heterosexuals make exactly the same number of children alive as dead. And where the goal of destroying civilization is concerned, weaponized non-heterosexuals and Islam is an excellent alliance
5. Hopefully someone who reads this post can explain how you can get a squatter out of a curious home, improvised inside a grocery store roof sign in 7 minutes, but it takes 13 MONTHS to get them out of a house they illegally occupy. The Daily Mail has worthwhile details on what in reality is a “Hey Martha” news story. Other than its curious second set of rules for squatters.
Thank you all for reading this site.
If you skip to the Q&A on this video near the middle end, you will know that the people running America and marionetteing Joe Biden, clearly hate America a lot. Biden brings humiliation and shame and demoralization on the US and causes a loss of confidence in it internationally.
The underlying issue is the collapse of the American Empire.
There are three super powers : USA , Russia and China. The Russian military is now more powerful than the US and NATO combined , US Aircraft Carrier strike groups have been rendered obsolete by Russian hypersonic missiles for which there is no current defense and there is nothing the US can do about it.
The bizarre actions of those controlling Biden , such as the Biden video (above), reflect the panic and frustration of the pending humiliating defeat in Ukraine , the Russia-China partnership which the US through its sanctions etc. have created , and which is leading to a BRICS and the Global South vs USA-Europe world.
This interview provides the best summary to date.
Devastating Economic War of Superpowers | Alex Krainer
I would say the UK laser weapons system renders all ICBMs obsolete no?
Whats it called, Dragon Fire or something. It can shoot down anything in a fraction of a second for the price of a donut and coffee at Tim Hortons I think.
You have to have quite a few of them though. One on every ship and covering the skies all over a target area. But it does seem to be a one-up wouldn’t it be?
The UK Dragon Fire is only in the prototype stage of development with no test results published other than they imply the spot size at 1Km is roughly 2cm which is an angle of roughly .001 degrees. Since any ship would have a surface radar that has about 200NM range , the spot size of the DEW laser at 200NM will be about 500cm and the energy of that beam will be spread over that area. The Russian hypersonic missiles have some materials which prevent the missile from burning up due to the extreme entry velocity , so whatever laser is used must have a sufficient power to melt the incoming missile … and it only has milliseconds to target – acquire and hit (burn) it .
The best use against a DEW laser is to fire the missile on a cloudy day !
As has been seen in Ukraine all the NATO radar defense systems have failed , even against non-hypersonic missiles. The Patriot system fires two missiles for each incoming missile which means the probability of a hit is better that 50% but less than 100% (hence needing two missiles fired).
In the Iran missile attack on Israel there were US , French , UK and Jordanian missile defense systems and aircraft firing (estimated cost $1Billion) and they only shot down the low and slow missiles. Iran fired 9 ballistic type missiles (non-hypersonic) all of which hit the intended targets and evaded the missile defense , illustrating the US missile defense failure.
My point is theory is great but until a DEW laser is tested against maneuverable hypersonic missiles , of which the US and UK have none , theoretical calculations of the effectiveness of DEW lasers is sheer fantasy.
‘It’s hard’: Navy needs to be realistic about laser weapons, admiral says
https://breakingdefense.com/2024/01/its-hard-navy-needs-to-be-realistic-about-laser-weapons-admiral-says/
“.. There’s no lack of excitement in the Navy about the idea of an operational laser on a ship underway, but the service must be more “intellectually honest” about what’s possible, Rear Adm. Fred Pyle said at the Surface Navy Association’s annual symposium. ..”
…
” .. But recent surface Navy operations in the Red and Mediterranean Seas, combined with excitement from top Navy leaders this week about directed energy, has prompted the question here and elsewhere: Why isn’t the Navy shooting down operational targets, in the Med or elsewhere, with lasers yet? ..”
My Comment : They still haven’t successfully employed DEW lasers to handle slow moving drones , so dealing with hypersonic missiles is still in the realm of science fiction.
That is clarity. Thank you.
