A couple of items on Israel etc. and many more on the tactics of the communist revolutionaries and effects on Canada and the USA: Links post 1 for April 28, 2026

1. Victor Davis Hanson: the Immigrants who treat American magnanimity with contempt, they should be deported

2. Just a gentle reminder of actual reality. The way she frames it is accurate. We would say that Israel is a meritocracy and any discrimination which is done is on that basis. That defines civilization. People who are passed over because someone else can do it better are generally not bitter about it unless communists reframe it to harness one’s ginned up hatreds. Muslim countries are not meritocracies by any metric, although some may advance a person by thier Koranic knowledge. For example in Iran after the revolution, a janitor was made the dean of a University in Tehran because he had memorized the Koran. Also if you have serious military abilities, like in communism, you will be advanced as well. Bot communism and Islam recognize the value of merit when it comes to advancing the ideology. But the ideology does not recognize merit as core doctrine within itself.

3. In more typical communist states, anyone with any view that is remotely counter narrative, or even if a counter-narrative view could be imputed to the person in question, there would be an arrest, some form even that could be called a trial, but more an inquisition or star chamber, and punishment that would be both example, but also kept somewhat secret so it would be punitive for punishment’s sake. (Read or listen to the audiobook of the Gulag Archipelago, or watch videos of survivors of North Korea today for proofs)

Today they appear to have parsed the goals for efficiency. At least gven that Canada is a nascent communist polity.

In Canada we establish how much influence the person has first. A person who carries real influence either by credentials or position in an institution, or by number of followers or public profile will be hurt in a way using the vestigial mechanisms of a formerly free society.

So a professor of biology for example, who maintains that men and women are actually different from each other, and that has nothing to do with how they see themselves, will lose their incomes and status and perhaps even credentials. Doctors who opposed the Covid measures and especially the often deadly mRNA shots were defrocked in numbers, and the ‘trials’ afforded them by the Colleges where semi-secret and would not even allow the scientific truths or evidence to be entered on behalf of the defendant. Only that they had violated narrative policy. That was the only issue in the trials. The case of Helen Grus was the same although more complex to prosecute. But that was the effect.

This policy continues however. Many state narratives are still in full effect. And the punishments are still also policy.

Below is Grok’s answer to my question:

“what is the story here please with University of Lethbridge and the arrest of Frances Widdowson”?

Grok’s answer:

Here’s the story:

What Happened On April 25, 2026, Frances Widdowson (a controversial former Mount Royal University professor) was arrested for trespassing at the University of Lethbridge in Alberta.She went to the university cafeteria to have coffee/meet with a student.
The university had previously issued a trespass notice banning her from campus (issued in February 2026 after a previous disruptive event).
Police were called, reminded her of the ban, and when she refused to leave, she was arrested and given a ticket.

She was released shortly after.Background on Frances Widdowson:

Widdowson is a vocal critic of the dominant narrative around Canada’s Indian Residential Schools, particularly claims of “mass graves” (e.g., Kamloops). She argues many of the claims are exaggerated or lack forensic evidence, and she has written and spoken extensively about what she calls the “residential school industry” and “wokeism” in academia.

She was fired from Mount Royal University in 2021 for her views.

Why the University Banned Her:

The University of Lethbridge says her presence on campus causes significant disruption, protests, and safety concerns that they can no longer manage. They issued a campus-wide alert calling her a potential “health and safety risk.“

This is part of a longer pattern: Widdowson has had similar conflicts and bans at multiple Canadian universities (University of Victoria, UBC, University of Manitoba, etc.) when she tries to speak or debate on these topics.

The Bigger Context:

This incident has become a flashpoint in Canada’s ongoing debate about:Academic freedom vs. “safety”
Free speech on university campuses
The residential schools / reconciliation narrative

Supporters of Widdowson see it as heavy-handed censorship and “totalitarianism.” Critics say she is a provocateur whose presence inevitably causes chaos.

Actually what it is, is the use of activist agitators, Bolsheviks and Mensheviks, to create an atmosphere hostile to reality, or at the very least, hostile to any view which is counter to the dialectical (destructive) position of the left. Then, it can be framed as a safety issue, achieving two things at once. The preservation of the narrative on any given issue, and total control of professions and institutions across the board to maintain the narratives of the day irrespective of the actual original and stated purpose of the institutions. Universities have become amplifiers of state narratives, and the opposite of tools to teach critical thought, In fact, critical thinking has been replaced by Marxist Critical theory. The heart of leftist tactics.

For those unwilling to accept the new state of things in Canada, the tactic makes it easy to deny it. ‘after all, she had a trespass order! She wasn’t arrested for her views, but because she had a trespass order! She is guilty of a criminal matter! Do you believe in private property or not!!’

But the real issue is making her persona non grata at a university where she was a prof because of her views, under the rubric of public safety because gangs of communists caused violence in response to what she says.

There is nothing Western or organic in this process. This is dialectical from start to finish. But with stages that allow people who will not allow themselves to accept the new nature of Canada to rationalize it as nothing really changing. The same set of tactics are used against anyone who holds classical views on anything which is under immediate attack by the left. The biological sex. vs. ‘Gender” issue being an easy example of course, as well as all the covid ones, climate insanity etc.

We can be assured that more narrative attacks are on the way. Very possibly supporting Israel or the United States or Donald Trump wll become increasingly difficult. Already it is ill advised to walk a Canadian city street with a Trump hat on, and Jewish people find it difficult to be visibly Jewish. Various narratives about the Chabad, who actively oppose the building of the 3rd temple in Jerusalem as it is meant to be an act of God and not an architect and construction firm, are under attack because of Tucker Carlson’s narrative on the US military secretly working for this tiny apolitical group of charitable Jews to establish the 3rd temple. Really a whopper. But as Goebblels said,

“The essential English leadership secret does not depend on particular intelligence. Rather, it depends on a remarkably stupid thick-headedness. The English follow the principle that when one lies, one should lie big, and stick to it. They keep up their lies, even at the risk of looking ridiculous.”

Yes he projected that technique onto the British. But the concept is clearly what Tucker is relying on.

I might add that it is at the core of Dinesh D’Souza’s excellent film, Hillary’s America. For those that have not seen it, the principles in that film are every bit as valid and important today as they were when he made that film prior to the 2016 election.

4. A Casus Belli for not so much a war with China, but fighting back against China’s war against us? Or very possibly Mexican cartels? Still sorting out the chain of custody, or provinence of these issues. Likely it is intended to be difficult to know.

5. The Covid cover for what in our opinion was the release of measures tantamount to a communist revolution, must never be forgotten, and investigations into the people behind some of the more odious and deadly components of it must be brought to justice. Alex Berenson covers one of them here:

URGENT: David Morens, a top NIH aide to Dr. Anthony Fauci, has been indicted for hiding records about the origins of Covid-19

Federal prosecutors in Maryland have criminally charged David Morens, a former senior scientific advisor to Dr. Anthony Fauci at the National Institutes of Health, for hiding records about Covid-19’s origins from the public.

Morens worked with other scientists to evade Freedom of Information Act laws over public requests related to NIH’s work on coronavirus research, prosecutors said. The indictment comes almost two years after a Congressional subcommittee disclosed Morens’s key role in the scheme and his close relationship with Fauci.

The May 2024 Congressional report revealed Morens worked with Peter Daszak, a British zoologist whose EcoHealth Alliance served as a financing conduit from NIH to Chinese researchers, to dodge public requests for information.

Fauci also wanted to avoid public scrutiny and records laws and was “too smart to let colleagues send him stuff that could cause trouble,” Morens told Daszak in 2021 in an email published in that report.

During the spring of 2020, Fauci and top virologists worldwide tried to smear anyone who suggested that Covid might have started in a Chinese lab as a conspiracy theorist, despite their own private concerns that lab was in fact the source of the virus.

In Ontario there has been legislation passed making it not possible to file for FOIA for anything to do with Ford’s CINO government. Try and to keep that in mind when thinking about the state of politics in Canada.

The Federal government so far has not indicated it intendeds anything like this. Which is interesting. But the Ontario government new laws are drastic and sweeping.

Thank you all for reading this site and considering its views.

This next item is interesting. The only part of it I have trouble believing, is that Muslims thought that thunder meant that Allah did not approve of their rape of an infidel man. If they were slightly more religious, I think they would have taken it as encouragement.
