Western Standard does colour commentary on the Communist transformation of Canada

For this purpose, “colour commentary” means to describe the play on the field as if for radio but with no actual explanation of why a thing was done.

There are several layers or spheres to the way information is disseminated in the West now from our perspective. Official narrative dissemination, AKA state propaganda, which has its own subcategories of course, and colour commentary sites, which would be people who notice the effects of various dialectic attacks on our civilization but can’t see past the attack itself to the cause, purpose, or weapons used for it, and the rare strategic look at what is collapsing Western Civ and it’s offspring, individualism.

There are of course more ways of parsing this and more categories depending on which angle you choose to examine the gestalt of information dissemination. And there are many, many counter-measures against real information getting to the public which are extremely effective. Exaggerated or invented claims of horror for one, so that the ‘reasonable man’ will dismiss the real attacks and damages is one way.

During Covid, social media, YouTube and Rumble were rife with the sudden appearance of people with millions of followers who you had never heard of, that made ludicrous claims like dead people emanating Blue tooth signals from the grave caused by formation of home networks by the mRNA shots as just one example.

CBC are masters of different kinds of information attacks. Faking truth-to-power interviews with state apparatchiks where they appear to be making tough demands on the State apparatus when really it is justifying and promoting even more extreme measures and attacks on our liberties than the state was currently doing in order to make existing totalitarian policy look benign and benevolent instead of authoritarian and ultra-vires, which it actually is and was.

“Quebec is implementing Curfews, why aren’t we here in XXX?”. “Trudeau promised there would be enough vaccines for everyone to have 2 shots by now. Why are they not here for us?” as two examples of many.

The Western Standard has a great piece describing what Stephen Coughlin would call, “dialectical bombs” while fully ignoring the actual weapon used to make and drop them.

They list:

State funded (and controlled) media

censorship and arrests of journalists

laws that will destroy freedom of speech and some religions

Demolition of legacy statuary etc. that is iconic to the more or less republic of Canada.

Changing of street names away from legacy founders of The Canadian culture and polity.

Removal of firearms from the law abiding public

Destruction of Christian Churches

MASSIVE increase in size of bureaucracy

Communist party policies match Governing Liberal party policies, including moving away from the USA

regular 2 minutes of hate against Goldstein Donald Trump

Unified political parties in agreement on anything that actually matters.

CBC Dialectical bomber

The communist state does do what the WS describes here. But the things it notices are symptoms of the communist polity. Without the next layer up it’s about as useful as telling people that it is raining outside while everyone is standing in a deluge without an umbrella. The odd rare person may be in denial of the fact that it is raining buckets, but very few will notice what made it rain and to what purpose.

At its core, the communist state is a dialectical state. The Republic is a state where truth determines policy. The communist state is where narratives are created to force policy that always, always moves power from the individual to the state. In other words, leftwards. Ultimately the goal is a god-like state, exactly as explained in Orwell’s 1984 but is rather well illustrated in some of the recent videos we have posted about North Korea.

There is nothing exceptional about North Korea’s leader-worship. The Soviet Union created The Institute of the Brain as a propaganda organ to promote the idea that Lenin was superhuman. If not an actual God, a saint at least. We can all choke on our own gorge as we think forward to giant statues of Justin Trudeau and Mark Carney set in every town and ready for worship.

Communism never allows reality to overrule ideology

So while the Western Standard’s laundry list of actual end results of various dialectic attacks on Canada is kinda nice to see, and maybe, just maybe a few people will wake up to a basic cause and effect categorical syllogism: ‘Communism destroys Churches, Canada destroys hundreds of churches, Canada is communist’ is maybe useful. But the method used to destroy the churches was dialectic attacks such as Land Claims pledges at every school picnic and public function in Canada, and of course the Mass Graves at residential schools lie.

[At the time the graphic was made illustrating some of CBC’s dialectic attacks against Canadians and our reality as a whole, the Mass Graves Maoist-Mass line narrative attack had not yet started]

 

For those of you who have a WS subscription or still have a few free posts to read, have a look. It’s a decent catalogue of the effects of communism, if not a mention of the methods to achieve them, and frankly at the very core of the issue. What differentiates a communist society from a republic. The actual epistemology of it. The reversal of cause and effect. The dissolution of all notions of the existence of the individual and the rights associated with that concept.

Republics use Truth to determine policy and outcomes. (new laws, regulations and trial and hearings outcomes)

Communism invents narratives to destroy truth.

If you want an easy mnemonic:

Republics use reason based conclusions.

Communist societies use conclusion based reasoning.

Just watch or read any of the hearings from professional organizations against members who defied narrative from a place of authority and were telling the truth. Dozens of doctors who did not want to coerce their own patients into taking the shots, or worse, warned patients not to.  Or Ottawa Police Detective Helen Grus for instance, who’s mere investigation into a very unusual increase in infant deaths shortly after the mRNA shots were coerced on the public was such a threat to the new Communist state that they crafted an entire new rule that no police officer may launch an investigation where the findings may have political consequences without permission.

Please take a minute and let that sink in. It is the throwing of a core principle of a republic into a tub of aqua-regia.

Politicians and policy are now officially above the law.

Now think about anyone you know who might have woken up to the notion that the mRNA shots were damaging and more importantly, that the state lied when it said they were safe and effective. Not mistaken, lied. Then ask those same people about the mass graves at Residential schools, Global warming, 15 minute cities etc. and see if they are still willing to accept each new mass line as they land.

Understand the dialectic process of the dissolution of Western Civilization or be forever its victim.

Minnesota, Canada-Greenland and King Charles’ curious obsequiousness to Islam: Links 1 for December 27, 2025

A couple of subjects have been dominating my Twitter time line. Evidence of the massive fraud by Somalis in Minnesota and elsewhere they have been settled in the USA, and court-worthy proof that the 2020 election was indeed stolen from Donald Trump. So much so demands by some Republican Representatives are already in place to refund the fines taken from former NYC Mayor, Rudy Giuliani to the tune of USD$148M.

Here are some of the more interesting items on these and one or two other subjects. Not to be frozen out, but the UK’s rapid decent into Soviet/Maoist communism is so steep that the rest of us may get the Bends just watching it.

1. 42 minute video on exposing Minnesota fraud. Millions given to school with no students. You know for one example.

 

2. The state of British authoritarianism

UK Teacher Referred to Anti-Terror Programme for Showing Students Trump Videos: Report

A schoolteacher in England was reportedly referred to the United Kingdom’s counter-terrorism programme and accused of a potential “hate crime” after he showed his students Donald Trump videos.

Henley College, which teaches sixth-form students aged between 16 and 18 years old, reported the unnamed teacher to the Local Authority Designated Officer (LADO), which in turn found that his views “could be perceived as radical” and therefore should be referred to the government’s Prevent anti-terror programme, The Telegraph reported.

A schoolteacher in England was reportedly referred to the United Kingdom’s counter-terrorism programme and accused of a potential “hate crime” after he showed his students Donald Trump videos.

Henley College, which teaches sixth-form students aged between 16 and 18 years old, reported the unnamed teacher to the Local Authority Designated Officer (LADO), which in turn found that his views “could be perceived as radical” and therefore should be referred to the government’s Prevent anti-terror programme, The Telegraph reported.

The programme is was established to stop individuals, particularly young people, from becoming radicalised and going down the path leading to extremism and terrorism.

According to the broadsheet, the LADO report said: “There is concern that this behaviour could cause harm to a child, there could be a criminal offence from the views which could constitute a hate crime and it’s possible that his promoting of views could be radicalisation.”

Among the videos shown to the U.S. Politics class were a video of President Trump’s inauguration and the ‘Daddy’s Home’ music video by Canadian ‘MAGA’ rapper Tom MacDonald, which featured Trump-supporting American comedian Roseanne Barr.

Be fun to see how many Muslims reading Koran were reported under this program, and how many people who tried to report Muslims under this program were themselves arrested for islamophobia or some other hate crime.

4. Bill C-3 just became Law in Canada.

Full text:

? BREAKING: Bill C-3 Just Became Law And It’s a Massive Win for Globalist Elites ?

Folks, as of December 15, 2025, Bill C-3 (An Act to Amend the Citizenship Act) is officially law after receiving Royal Assent on November 20 and coming into force yesterday.

What does it actually do?
•Ends the “first-generation limit” on citizenship by descent, introduced back in 2009 under Harper.
•Automatically grants or restores Canadian citizenship to tens of thousands of “Lost Canadians” and their descendants born abroad before the law – even if they have zero recent ties to Canada.
•Going forward, allows Canadians born abroad to pass citizenship to their kids born overseas if the parent spent at least 1,095 days (3 years cumulative) in Canada at any point before the child’s birth.
•No time limit on accumulating those days, no language/test requirements in the final version – opposition amendments for tougher checks were voted down.

This isn’t fixing a small glitch. This opens the floodgates to “citizens of convenience” – people who may never live here, pay taxes here, or even speak our languages, but can now claim full citizenship rights: voting, passports, healthcare access for family, you name it.

Mark Carney’s Liberals rammed this through with NDP support (177-163 vote at third reading). Critics warned it devalues what it means to be Canadian, turning citizenship into an endless chain with minimal connection required.

Trudeau once praised China’s “dictatorship” for getting things done without opposition. Now, under Carney, we’re quietly expanding citizenship globally while everyday Canadians struggle with housing, costs, and borders.

Is this about fairness for families… or diluting the value of Canadian citizenship forever?

Wake up, Canada. Our identity is being redefined without a real national debate.

What do YOU think? Is this progress or a dangerous overreach?

5. What Trump’s National Security Strategy Means for Canada

Canada receives but a passing mention in the recently released U.S. National Security Strategy, but that doesn’t mean it will not have an impact here.

In many ways, it already does. Canada as a neighbour was among the first countries to be affected by key policy changes brought forth by U.S. President Donald Trump.

Aside from hard security and economics, Trump’s National Security Strategy also puts significant focus on somewhat more of a cultural concern—and that is civilizational decline.

The strategy says that the path followed by some European countries on regulation and immigration will lead to their demise. While Canada is not mentioned specifically, it applies similar policies.

Trump’s National Security Strategy is dated November 2025 and was publicly released in early December.

For the US to survive, it has to take Canada and Greenland as states before China takes them both completely. There is no other way since Canada is surrendering itself to China as fast as the cheques clear the banks.

I quite like the meme below. It is both true, and extremely important as we tend to like to look prophetic by saying its over, we have lost, and other defeatist outlooks as given the pressure we are under, defeat seems easier than the continued fight. But the Muslims lost WW1 and the Nazis lost WW2 and here they both are again on the verge of victory. So remember this please:

On Narrative attacks, and repressive tolerance in action: Links 1 for December 26, 2025

For those of you watching the silver markets and especially those who purchased physical silver based on the advice and data that this site, and most notably comments and posts by Johnny U, we may notice that the predictions and explanations provided for what was inevitable, appear to be happening now, and appear to be for the exact reasons given over years. We extend our thanks to JohnnyU for his dedication to this issue and for how it hopefully has benefited many readers of this site, who recognized the reasoning and took advantage of the opportunity to protect themselves against some of the imminent financial harms by purchasing PMs.

1. The various enemy propaganda attacks must not be forgotten. They were not errors. It was not Hanlon’s Razor. They were attacks on your core liberties and identity. They must be catalogued by all of us, in some form or other, and remembered by us for conversations with our own circles as we try and bring our fellow human beings out of a state of hypnosis of whatever narrative attack has them captive at that moment.

2. A few items on how the 2020 election was rigged for Biden, and on other consequences of the mass importation of Somali Muslims. Note in particular this gentleman’s reference of going from a High trust to a no trust society. This is clearly one of the intended outcomes of all these policies in the past couple of decades. No faster way to dismantle a healthy civilization than move it from trust based, and therefore lateral and horizontal in transactions of all kinds, to a no trust, vertical society where the only transactions are between the state and its agencies and the creatures that are its subjects.

 

 

3. Trump launches ‘powerful and deadly’ Christmas Day strikes on ISIS targeting Christians in Nigeria: ‘Terrorist Scum’

President Trump announced Thursday that the US military hit ISIS terrorists in Nigeria targeting Christians with “numerous” deadly airstrikes.

“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS Terrorist Scum in Northwest Nigeria, who have been targeting and viciously killing, primarily, innocent Christians, at levels not seen for many years, and even Centuries!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

“I have previously warned these Terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was,” the president continued.

Thank you President Trump. And may Jihadis see many, many more Christmases like that every week of the year.For those of us paying attention, we are so grateful to see real justice enacted for a change.

4. In multiple cities, certainly Toronto, Montreal and I think Ottawa, Muslims and leftists have been targeting Indigo Book stores with disruptive protests inside and out, with the usual outrageous and untrue allegations. Apparently this happens every weekend, but was especially intense over Christmas. A search on Twitter for protests at Indigo Books will call up a lot of videos, and maybe add the search phrase, ‘Leviathan’ which at least won’t give views to the people doing the protests but instead the people opposing them.

5. These kinds of headlines are very common over this Christmas season. It barely qualifies as news. Sites like ours, Gates of Vienna, Jihad Watch, RAIR Foundation and many more. in various ways have been posting material like the following for years as data points to support a thesis. The thesis being that Islam is a threat doctrine, and those who follow the doctrine are a threat to Western Civilization and all religions and cultures that are not Islamic to the extent that those individual Muslims are adherent to that doctrine. Each of these sites take a different approach of course. It is more or less the 10 blind men describing an elephant. In more detail, in some cases it would be people who are under the threat of the state, to not to be too accurate or discuss any method that is true enough to be effective at combatting the subversion of our civilization by the left and jihadists. This is now a thought crime. In some, like Political Islam, it is to try and find a détente by distinguishing the jihadi component of Islam, and what Westerners might find acceptable as an equivalent religion practice to their own. We must of course, fight the political component of Islam. All of us are trying to pull the flaming remains of civilization out of the fire in any way we hope might work and to the extent that it is not going to have us thrown into gulags for the effort.

So increasingly, headlines like these don’t even feel like news. They are dog bites man at this point. But recognizing the trend is important anyway. That Muslims and leftists have managed to shut down public displays of Christian and Jewish religion and even national festivals for fear of jihadi attacks, all without naming the threat or the enemy. This is what actually matters. This is how you know the state imported it and funds it to do exactly what it is doing. In Australia, the state managed to make sure people who were a known threat had licences for many firearms and no armed response to their attack in Bondi Oz. But the PM did use the opportunity to talk about even more restrictions on firearms for law abiding actual citizens of Australia, and more speech and thought and face crimes. None of which will be used against Muslims of course, or every imam would be in jail already under existing laws. Same goes for the entire West for that matter.

BBC: Men guilty over Jewish community gun attack plot

Two men have been found guilty of planning a gun attack to cause “untold harm” to the Jewish community in Manchester.

Walid Saadaoui, 38, and Amar Hussein, 52, had a “visceral dislike” of Jewish people and arranged for guns to be smuggled into the UK as part of an “Isis-inspired plot”, Preston Crown Court heard.

They believed they were planning the attacks with a third man, known to them as Farouk, who they thought shared their extremist views but was actually an undercover operative.

Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said the main instigator Walid Saadaoui had plotted to carry out what “could potentially have been the deadliest terrorist attack in UK history”.

Walid Saadaoui, of Abram in Wigan, and Hussein, of no fixed abode, were found guilty of preparing acts of terrorism between 13 December 2023 and 9 May 2024.

A third man, Saadaoui’s younger brother Bilel Saadaoui, 36, has been convicted of failing to disclose information about acts of terrorism.

Walid Saadaoui aimed to smuggle four AK-47 assault rifles, two handguns and 900 rounds of ammunition into the UK. […]

Walid Saadaoui used one of his fake accounts to join the Facebook group of the Jewish Representative Council of Greater Manchester which contained details of a “March Against Antisemitism” held in the city centre on January 21 last year which thousands attended.

Days later he told Farouk: “Here in Manchester, we have the biggest Jewish community.

“God willing we will degrade and humiliate them (in the worst way possible), and hit them where it hurts.”

The BBC managed to mention “Islamic extremist views”. That is progress in as much as moving from narrative to reality is progress. It is however, not extremist. It is core Islamic doctrine. Anyone who has not read a proper translation of Koran, one by Robert Spencer, or the one he himself recommends, the Maududi translation (Available on Amazon.com not ,ca) and is uncertain of this should do so. Not take our word for it. Take theirs. Also the thousands of sermons given weekly around the world, many of which are posted here and thousands are at MEMRI.org as well as elsewhere. We saw a video of a protest outside an elderly care facility attached to the Ottawa Jewish Community centrea few days before Christmas where the prayer given before the jingoistic speech was quite revealing of the changing rhetoric of Muslims. They are becoming much more blunt about the ambitions and intentions of Islam in the West now.

Like this:

This site has a special focus on formal leftist tactics and strategies to destroy us all down to the roots. By formal, I mean communist intellectuals who actually devised formal tactics and set them into motion with calamitous effects and we can see now all around us like a barbed wire fence on our own thoughts.

One of these tactics by a Frankfurt School founder named Herbert Marcuse. He invented a pernicious device called, “Repressive Tolerance”. The linked 3 minute video explains it beautifully if you are not already familiar. But if you want to see it in action, compare the video above, to the video below.

Of course you can also see it with any of the 30 or so arrests for wrong-think every single day in the UK with the zero arrests for advocating genocide and jihad and revolution of Muslims and leftists, even in institutions like universities and mosques.

Full Clip

Thank you all for checking out this site. 

2026 is likely to be somewhat more chaotic than previous years for the reasons given in every post we ever did. The left and Islam is creating this chaos because it creates the conditions they want to reshape life for all of us under their terms.

We should be prepared for that. The chaos can also be an opportunity to oppose these changes.

Vice News clip in 7 parts on a North Korean Gulag in Siberia

This is just really great watching.

BTW: The Gulag Archipelago as an audio book is usually available free, or for pennies on Audible in 3 parts. It is a hell of an undertaking to listen through it. I only made it to maybe 15% into the second volume. But it was worth it. Great for dog walks or housework if you want to understand communism in practice.

One observation after watching parts 3 and 4. The Russians who were placed in Gulags knew they were prisoners and slaves, even if they had no idea why. Many if not most after all, where taken away to Gulags on a quota system and one town if memory serves had nearly half the population taken away.

But in the North Korean Gulags, the people’s sense of patriotism is what is keeping them in chains. At least according to the guard at the gate. “They do not run away because that would be a betrayal.” I think the model being built around the Anglosphere is more similar to that one. Loyalty to state narratives about global warming and anti-racism is what prevents people from rebelling pianist their own utter and total destruction, even as a memory of what we all once were.

In part VI you can feel how palpably afraid one of the NORK forest ‘workers’ are when asked an honest question about why he was there. He simply answered with what “he should not say”.

Granted we are not to scale anywhere near the amplitude of this kind of self censorship yet in Canada. But increasingly conversations between strangers contain more and more samizdat whether the speakers realize that formally or not.

Fear of consequence for saying things that are obviously true is becoming normalized in Canada, while the opposite is being normalized in the USA.

 

What happens in Medina doesn’t stay in Medina

The video below needs to be understood for what it is, and not how it might appear to people who grew up in free nation states, regardless of what they may be now.

When a sermon is given in the grand mosque of Medina, it is a reflection of Saudi policy. Nothing is ever said there, that is not in perfect alignment with national policy. One could say perhaps, doubly so for Friday sermons, the most important one of the week for Muslims.

Watching this excerpt from a Friday sermon of December 12, 2025 should make one question how seriously the Saudis are abut the Abraham Accords.

Silver is set to change the way all markets work, and start a catastrophic cascade across all commodities

There are many videos posted on this site and especially in the comments about how the economy is working,. or various metrics that indicate the health or the genuine actual mechanisms of the economy which are as occulted as everything else pretty much,

Personally I like this video because it states simple verifiable facts, and builds a model that is easy to follow and makes a lot of sense. But it also reflects a lot which we have heard from our site experts over the years as well, but now packaged in a way that gives a trajectory, leading to an outcome.

If anyone can correct the video on some of the facts or reasoning please don’t hesitate to do so in the comments. Anything really good we’ll move up into the post.

As of 2:40 PM December 24, 2025:

Here’s the most current spot price information available for silver related to the Shanghai market, as close to real-time as public data generally allows:

? Shanghai Silver Price (converted to USD per troy ounce) – ~Dec 24, 2025

Silver price on the Shanghai Gold Exchange (SGE) converted into U.S. dollars per troy ounce is approximately:
**? ~ $78.55 USD/oz (this reflects Shanghai trading pricing, which can include local premiums)
GoldSilver.ai

Kitko Spot price: $71.85 USD

UPDATE: While the central thesis of this video is correct, there ARE mitigating factors. I will post Chat GPT’s analysis of the text of the video shortly. So while this video raises real points of concern, he may have overweighted the importance of the difference in the prices East Vs. West. The Eastern markets are not true free markets. Therefore are not always in alignment.

UPDATE 2:

As of 8:00 AM ET December 25th, the SGE, (Chinese exchange used as the basis for the video above) has actually gone down a dollar or so, (depending on how you do the exchange rate to USD) BELOW the COMEX. This tends to negate a large part of the argument in the video.

I sent the full text of the video to ChatGPT for analysis. It was interesting but not worth putting here in total. However today’s change in the relative pricing seemed interesting enough to ask GPT how it affects the argument he makes overall about Silver and the state of commodities. here is the answer in full.

How much of his argument depends on SGE > COMEX?

1. Structural argument (still intact)

Most of his analysis rests on mechanism, not on yesterday’s number:

  • SGE represents physical settlement pressure

  • COMEX represents paper leverage

  • Arbitrage between the two is not frictionless

  • Capital controls, delivery constraints, and contract structure delay equalization

That logic does not require SGE to always trade at a premium.
It only requires that persistent divergence is possible — which history clearly supports.

? This part still holds.


2. Signal argument (temporarily weakened)

Where the reversal does matter is here:

“The SGE premium proves physical stress is intensifying right now.”

That claim depends on:

  • SGE staying meaningfully above COMEX

  • The spread being stable or widening

With the spread flipping from +7 USD ? ~-1 USD in ~24 hours:

  • That specific stress signal is no longer confirmed

  • It now looks more like short-term inventory or flow normalization, not escalation

?? This undermines the immediacy, not the theory.


3. Equalization mechanism — still the key insight

Ironically, the reversal actually demonstrates one of his central points:

  • Equalization does happen

  • But it happens episodically, not smoothly

  • And it often overshoots or snaps back

A fast reversal suggests:

  • Metal was mobilized

  • Or paper pressure temporarily dominated

  • Or Chinese demand paused (holiday / liquidity / margin effects)

None of that contradicts his framework — it just shows the system breathing.


Bottom line judgment

If we were grading the argument:

  • Core thesis: ? Still solid

  • Mechanics of divergence: ? Still valid

  • Claim of current physical stress: ?? Weakened

  • Predictive certainty / timeline: ? Overconfident

If this were your write-up, the correct framing would be:

“The SGE–COMEX spread is volatile and episodic; its temporary reversal does not refute the physical-paper divergence thesis, but it does caution against treating short-term premiums as linear indicators of systemic stress.”

That’s a stronger, more defensible position.

We are at war and how the attack is structured in ONE TWEET

Full text:

In a sufficiently advanced civilization, warfare becomes stochastic, invisible. Your enemy no longer has to attack you outright; he can simply increase your probability of death.

Releasing violent criminals, placing incompetent people in lifesaving medical roles, allowing public infrastructure to decay to dangerous levels, importing fighting-aged men who hate you.

This is what war looks like now: a bunch of local news headlines all around the globe, hundreds of seemingly disconnected tragedies every week. These events are in fact connected; you are in fact in an existential struggle; your ranks are being attacked from all sides, at all times, everywhere.

You are not an atomized, doomscrolling individual inundated with unfortunate news stories; you are a combatant at war

Religious war is for all the marbles: Links 1 for December 23rd, 2025

1. The Phrase, “religious war” has real meaning and real implications. And for the most part it still flies under the radar in terms of its effects and tactics.

First, have a look at this short video from Denmark:

This certainly seems trivial in comparison to the numerous and still ongoing attacks against Christmas markets and Christian displays for Christmas. And for sure in terms of horror, it is. But in terms of effect it’s an equal partner. The idea being to use symbols and outwards displays of any cultural or non-Islamic religiosity ANYWHERE as targets in order to change the cost benefit of having them. The Muslims don’t have to kill us all. They just have to make our cultures, histories, beliefs and religion and religious displays more than just subordinate to Islam, but fully underground. Out of the public sphere. And it’s working well. Germany, France and other locations have cancelled major cultural, national and religious festivals across those countries.

I am reminded of the first time I came to realize there was an Islamic war on all other religions by attacking symbols and rules of other faiths.

Now I am pretty sure I will face some minor excoriation here for getting a detail or two wrong, but as I recall, outside of the Golden Gate of the old city of Jerusalem, there is an ancient Islamic cemetery. That would be, right at the gate so you can’t go through without passing the gravestones.

Apparently according to Jewish law, the Messiah, for whom the Jewish people are still waiting, has to come through the Golden Gate. And according to Jewish law, the Messiah has to be from the priestly lineage, or the Kohaine. (Sp) Another Jewish law specifies that those of the line of Moses, the Kohaine, may not be near the dead or enter a cemetery. So the Muslims built this cemetery in order to block the arrival of the Messiah of the Jews.

In the video above, Muslims are clearly trying to spoil a very traditional and long standing practice of celebrating Christmas with decorations, music and a certain atmosphere. Spoil and dominate.

I want to short stop any question by people right now in terms of Christmas, what it really is and really isn’t. Because at the moment, it doesn’t actually matter. If it was officially the pagan celebration of the Winter Solstice the same things would be happening. As stated in another recent essay in item 3, Islam seeks total Islamic manifest destiny. They don’t care about Christmas as a cultural thing, a commercial thing, a Jesus was born thing whatsoever. What they care about is stopping any display of culture or religiosity that is not islamic.

To call it anti-Christian, or antisemitic is to help them win. We MUST understand the game plan here or we lose in stages. This is the joint effort by communists and Muslims/Islam to take down Western civilization to the very roots. What will replace it will be so much worse it can’t even be described. Think of Saudi Arabia with all the public beheadings and no oil money, since technology requires layers upon layers of millions of people specializing in various jobs to produce a car or a cell phone. Or think of North Korea, so close to South Korea, one of the most advanced nations ever , and with probably the smartest people on Earth, but living in an unimaginably oppressed state run by leader worship and narratives. A person who abuses a photo of the God-leader will spend THREE GENERATIONS in a Gulag. I don’t mean 60 years, I mean may have children in a gulag who’s life and children will also be in the Gulag.

As a minor aside, this is still the best thing I have found on North Korea. The Vice Guide to Travel:

 

If you click through to the YouTube page there are many more videos in the playlist.

At the end of the day, dialectic target moving is one of the most effective ways to prevent any of us from actually identifying the threat and taking any kind of effective action whatsoever. As we will see, the Australian PM, who is a major part of the communist side of this effort, has advanced the plan by stating that Australia intends to remove more rights from the general public to prevent more events like the one he caused in Bondi. The jihadis were legal gun owners, which has a lot of its own peculiarities given that he was a known, let’s say problem and that city people in Oz do not generally get permits for 6 guns for no reason.

Here, Albanese wants to combat 3 things that are not the problem whatsoever, but are symptoms of the problem. Its like geopolitical allopathic medicine except with no intention to even treat the symptoms, but use the symptoms to achieve the communist control ambitions of these states.

Antisemitism: Not the problem

Guns: Not the problem

Hate speech: not the problem

Islamic manifest destiny and communist support and funding of it, is the problem.

And Islamic manifest destiny is the single core principle of Islam itself. Nothing else matters but conquest. A Muslim can eat all the pork and drink all the beer he wants if he is going to die in a martyrdom attack the next day (as did the 911 hijackers), as that is the only guaranteed way to get to the sky brothel known as Jenna (Islamic heaven) and all previous ‘sins’ are forgiven.

2. These kinds of stories are increasingly common, daily in fact, and increasingly brutal. Once you discount Hanlon’s Razor, it may be possible to figure out why judges and state apparatchiks clearly have a policy of extra punishment for law abiding citizens and virtually no enforcement for the insane and career criminals or foreign nationals who rape, murder and steal.

She is of course, totally wrong. The judges etc. are indeed doing their jobs. The job just isn’t what it used to be, or we think it is.

3. As wonderful as this is to hear from a position of genuine authority, think about why people feel they should clap when they hear something that has been so painfully obvious for all of human history.

4. DEI did exactly to Canada what it was intended to do

Full text:

? ENTRY DENIED?
Israel just turned away a delegation of 6 Canadian MPs (5 Liberals + 1 NDP) at the border crossing from Jordan into the West Bank

Why? Security risks!!

The trip was organized by The Canadian-Muslim Vote, which gets the vast majority of its funding from Islamic Relief Canada — a branch of Islamic Relief Worldwide, officially designated by Israel as a terror entity since 2014 for alleged Hamas ties.

One MP in the group, Liberal Sameer Zuberi, has history: Photos and records place him in a leadership role at the infamous 2002 Concordia University riot that forced the cancellation of Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech, caused ~$17,000 in damage, injuries, arrests, and widespread chaos.Israel has every sovereign right to protect its borders and deny entry to those linked to groups it views as threats

Smart move. No apologies needed.

BUT what does that say about Liberal MP’s??

5. Donald Trump, remembering his roots from the first campaign perhaps? Is calling out Islam, even though he uses I, and possibly 2 layers of obfuscation to do it. “Radical” for sure. Islamic was nice as opposed to “Islamist” or some other muzzle moving term. But it’s at least a good distance towards the target.

Thank you all for checking out this site as we slide hopefully peacefully into this Christmas season. Evil has been working overtime to try and destroy all that we are and all that we love this year. But may the Lord grant us a couple of days of peace to enjoy each other, our families and the fruits of our labour.

But if it doesn’t work out that way, we will try and shine a light on whatever does happen in a way that allows some amount of clarity on it.
