Brian Lilley with Steve Bannon: A serious talk about geopolitics and Canada as the 51st [23 minutes]
Sweden now arresting people for agreeing with critics of Islam, and Canadians need to WAKE UP to the reality we now face thanks to decades of Chinese subversion. Please see Item 3, article and video this is no joke: Links post 1 for Feb. 3 2025
1. Sweden has taken Orwellian style blasphemy laws to the next level, convicting a man for a nebulous charge of inciting an ethnic group, for things said by his murdered associate.
This story has to be read to be believed. We can only add that like the UK, any pretence to a People’s Republic, or a nation ruled by law is a veneer to sooth the plebs. This also may help explain why Sweden didn’t have to obey any of the Covid era lockdown policies the rest of Western nations had to conform to. (Not sure what the vaxx policies in Sweden were like) But the bars and restaurants were open and crowded, and weddings and funerals took place as normal in 2020 and onwards. They had some Potemkin laws, like no more than 500 at a wedding, but it was clearly just for the appearance of conformity. We have videos of the main streets of cities in Sweden during the lock downs. Our videographer there didn’t even want to take the video because he said, “everything is normal. How do you film that which is just like it has always been?”
Now it looks like Sweden, being ready to go along with any and all COMINTERN diktats, during Covid including and especially the mass murder of its elderly by Medazolam and Morphine, was and is the reason they seem to be immune from many of the active measures which are imposed on other Western formerly civilized nation states.
2. Crowds of violent protesters in LA carry flags of the countries they don’t want to be deported back to, as they create havoc in the streets of the country they hate, but insist on staying in.
3. Please read this article in total. It is the best thing so far on the tariffs, Mark Carnage Carney and the issues concerning Canada and the USA. A teaser is below, but click through for the article.
Canada Is A Failed State and Mark Carney is BlackRock’s Bankruptcy Trustee
Today, February 1, Canada is effectively ruined. If Trump persists, and he said Friday it will get worse, not better, we will enter a depression that will match 1929. And we deserve it.
25% tariffs will ruin us. The tariffs mean one million small businesses – all which sell to the U.S. – will contract and many will close their doors. And then Trump, as he promised the unions, will pull “our” auto industry. Then we’re done.
Who is to blame for this?
The following is going to be crude because Canada is so boring (that’s deliberate) that no one cares. There are a thousand ultra-complex rationales on why Canada is failing and all they do is obfuscate. I’m not pulling punches, softening rhetoric – it is bad. It is urgent. This is the death of something that 75 years ago was shining, sunlit, exciting. That country? That country was killed by the Laurentian elite, weak, cosplaying Marxism to stay in power, themselves outwitted by investment bankers who plan to steal everything not nailed down. In so doing new elements were forcibly injected into the population: envy, resentment of the successful, sloth, the refusal to grow up, be strong and independent. We effectively sit on top of the U.S., seething with envy, in wet diapers.
We are a broken country. Everyone who understands the world knows this. The only people who don’t are deluded Canadian socialists, which is to say our entire elite and all our “knowledge class”. Dissent is ignored. Or jailed.
Central banker Mark Carney, WEFer paramount, is being parachuted into the Liberal party in order to sell us off to the investment banks who will harvest us for our resources. Our people? Future serfs in Special Enterprise Zones. We already have the regulation in place. No taxes, no worker rights, no enviro controls, no self-determination, no agency, no freedom. Time frame? Ten years, twenty at the outside. The inevitable end of hard-core socialism.

It contains actual information which informs events today and very likely tomorrow, right to the end of the video. This is actual substance. The kind we rarely see anymore. These were both MSM journalists who left legacy media for reasons which you all know.
Also I can tell you from first hand experience, if you even interview or video protests against the Chinese government you will be made to feel it personally here in Canada. So when he talks about the threats to him from the PRC, you can bet he is understating his own case. Also the idea that the US is dangerously close to war with China, Taiwan being one issue among many, after watching this interview you will have to wonder if the US would see Canada as an allied nation with the Chinese, even if the public in Canada do not see it that way or even understand what is going on.
This is a plea. Please watch the video below.
4. How the CDC was at least as much a part of the stolen 2020 election as the FBI.
[…]
If we are social distancing and staying home, how can we have normal elections with crowds at polling places? Surely we need a completely different system.
It was in this thicket of sudden frenzy that the CDC got involved. But not eventually involved; it was involved at the very outset.
The page is now scrubbed from the CDC website as of January this year but it has long posted voting protocols as a means of controlling infectious disease spread.
What’s fascinating is the timing. The page was updated to mention the necessity of mail-in voting on March 12, 2020. That’s the same day at Donald Trump’s famous hostage-style video that announced universal travel restrictions for Americans traveling to and from the UK and the EU, for the first time in US history.
He was so nervous that he actually garbled a sentence. He said that he would stop all goods transport. He meant to say that he would not! The correction came a day later but only after the stock market crashed. That very day, someone went to the page on the CDC site and added that good hygiene involves pushing mail-in voting. We only know this thanks to Archive.org and checking the day-by-day timeline.
5. The British people appear to be waking up to the fact that they are a communist state with much harsher punishments for counter-revolutionary influence than actual crime.

A massive explosion at a weapons depot in Syria has alarming implications
The tale of the tape:
So I asked Chat GPT what size bomb is required to create a 3.0 magnitude on the Richter scale:
What size bomb would be required to create a 3.0 on the richter scale
ChatGPT said:
ChatGPT
The size of a bomb required to create a 3.0 magnitude event on the Richter scale depends on several factors, including the bomb’s energy yield, how it’s detonated, and the geology of the area. Here’s a general idea:
Energy Equivalent
A 3.0 earthquake releases approximately 2 gigajoules (2 billion joules) of energy. This is roughly equivalent to:
- 500 tons of TNT or
- A small tactical nuclear bomb (0.5 kiloton yield).
Factors Influencing the Effect:
- Type of Explosion: Underground explosions are much more efficient at generating seismic waves than above-ground detonations.
- Depth: Shallow explosions generally cause higher seismic readings.
- Geology: Softer ground will absorb more energy and reduce seismic effects, while harder rock transmits energy more efficiently.
Historical Comparison
- The largest non-nuclear bomb ever detonated, Russia’s FOAB (Father of All Bombs), has a yield equivalent to ~44 tons of TNT, which would not reach a 3.0 magnitude.
- A 3.0 magnitude seismic event is more in line with a small nuclear explosion, such as early nuclear tests like the Trinity Test in 1945 (~20 kilotons), which registered as high as 5.0 magnitude on seismic readings.
Maybe there is some subtle linguistic distinction between local seismic detectors and the Richter scale. But if they are the same thing, then the answer above is very interesting, no matter how you interpret it.
Even so, if Chat GPT is correct and the largest ever non-nuclear bomb had a 44MT yield, then 500 MT has got to have meaning beyond the usual.
UPDATE:
There are reports of a 3.0 magnitude event at a weapons depot in Syria after an Israeli bombing. Is there news or confirmation of that?
ChatGPT said:
ChatGPT
Yes, recent reports confirm that Israeli airstrikes on Syrian military sites have resulted in explosions registering as a 3.0 magnitude earthquake. These strikes, among the most intense in over a decade, targeted munitions depots and military facilities near Tartus and other regions in Syria.
The Israeli Defense Forces conducted these operations to prevent advanced weaponry from falling into extremist hands, especially following the recent fall of President Assad’s regime. The airstrikes have drawn international condemnation from countries like Iran and Qatar, citing violations of Syrian sovereignty.
In addition to airstrikes, there are reports of Israeli ground operations, with tanks reportedly advancing close to Damascus. Israeli officials justify these actions as necessary measures to secure their borders and ensure regional stability.
For a visual perspective, here’s a video capturing the moment of the Israeli airstrike in Syria:

New system fires U.S. missiles into Russia; Putin alters doctrine
By Mike Glenn THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Ukraine fired American-supplied missiles into Russian territory on the 1,000th day of its war against its invaders, officials said Tuesday, as Russian President Vladimir Putin formally lowered the threshold for his country’s use of nuclear weapons.
Days earlier, the Biden administration reportedly signed off on a policy change allowing Ukraine to strike targets deep inside Russian territory with the U.S.-supplied Army Tactical Missile System, or ATACMS.
The Kremlin said Tuesday that its air defense troops had shot down five Ukrainian missiles and
damaged a sixth, using their S-400 and Pantsir air defense missile systems. Fragments from the damaged ATACMS missile caused a “fire that was quickly extinguished” at a military facility in the target area.
Ukraine had yet to confirm that it launched the attack inside Russian territory using the ATACMS, but the Ukrainian General Staff in Kyiv said in a statement that an attack had taken out a major ammunition arsenal near the Russian city of Krachev.
“The destruction of ammunition depots will continue for the army of the Russian occupiers in order to stop the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine,” the statement said.
Mr. Putin has said the use of American-supplied missiles to strike Russian targets could dramatically escalate the conflict between Ukraine and Russia and could draw NATO into the fight.
The Russian doctrine says a nuclear response would be justified in the face of “aggression by any non-nuclear state, but with the participation or support of a nuclear country.” That scenario closely mirrors Ukraine’s situation, given the heavy support it has received from the U.S., Britain and France, all nuclear powers.
Mr. Putin would remain the “ultimate authority” on whether to launch a nuclear attack, the Kremlin said.
The Reuters news agency, citing a document posted on the official Russian government website, said the doctrine also notes that “a nuclear response from Russia is possible in the event of a critical threat to its sovereignty, even with conventional weapons; in the event of an attack on Belarus as a member of the Union State; [or] in the event of a massive launch of military aircraft, cruise missiles, drones, other aircraft and their crossing the Russian border.”
Russia also published a propaganda video about how many nukes it would take and where to land them to end Western European civilization.
Is this the new Covid?
Viktor Orban segments from recent conference with focus on how Trump will change European policy “and fast”
Viktor Orban was pretty enthusiastic about Trump’s return.
We took some clips of a conference he did with other EU leaders from the region and had them translated and subtitled. There is his initial speech, and then a Q&A. From what I saw from the rest of them, Orban was the only one worth listening to.
This isn’t the entire session obviously, but its probably the best of it.
The attack on Iran appears to have begun
1. Israel confirms it has struck Iran, as explosions rock Tehran
Blasts heard in Tehran, nearby Karaj • Explosions were also heard in Syria and Iraq, and air defense systems were reportedly activated
Five explosions were reported heard across Tehran and the nearby city of Karaj early on Saturday morning, according to Iranian media, in what is alleged to be the beginning of an Israeli retaliatory attack on Iran.
Israeli officials confirmed to Army Radio that Israel had started striking targets across Iran.
“The IDF is currently attacking precise targets in Iran,” IDF Spokesperson Daniel Hagari said in a statement. “This is in response to persisting attacks by the Iranian regime on the State of Israel.”The IDF is completely prepared in attack and in defense. We are following the developments from Iran and its proxies in the region.”
2. Explosions heard in Iran’s Tehran and nearby Karaj, state media say
DUBAI, Oct 26 (Reuters) – Several loud explosions were heard in Iran’s capital Tehran and the nearby city of Karaj early on Saturday, semi-official Iranian media said, adding that the cause was unknown.
Iran’s state TV said several strong explosions were heard around the capital, but there was no official comment about the source of the explosions.
Israel has been planning a response to a ballistic-missile barrage carried out by Iran on Oct. 1, Tehran’s second direct attack on Israel in six months.Iranian authorities have warned Israel against launching an attack, saying any strike on Iran would be met with a stronger retaliation.
Witnesses in Tehran confirmed hearing loud explosions.
“It was so loud and the sky became red,” said an Iranian resident in Tehran, who asked not to be named.
3. Large explosions
4. Fires at Iran’s missile bases

5. Reports of explosions in Kermanshah, western Iran
Air defenses were reportedly activated near Kermanshah in western Iran on Saturday morning, according to N12.
Kermanshah area contains an Iranian air force base and has been the origin point of many of the UAVs and drones launched against Israel. Warehouses in the area have been attacked before.
6. Israel strikes Iranian military targets, reports of ‘limited’ damage ease escalation fear
DUBAI/JERUSALEM/CAIRO, Oct 26 (Reuters) – Israel bombed military sites in Iran early on Saturday, but its retaliation for an Iranian attack this month did not target the most sensitive oil and nuclear facilities and drew no immediate vows of vengeance.The risk of a wider conflagration between heavily armed Israel and Iran has convulsed a region already on fire with warfare in Gaza and Lebanon, but Tehran’s initial response appeared muted.Israel’s military said scores of jets completed three waves of strikes before dawn against missile factories and other sites near Tehran and in western Iran, and warned its heavily armed arch-foe not to hit back.Iran said its air defences had successfully countered the attack but four soldiers were killed and some locations suffered “limited damage”. A semi-official Iranian news agency said there would be a “proportional reaction” to the Israeli strikes.Tensions between Iran and Israel have grown rapidly since the Oct. 7, 2023 attack on Israel by Iran-backed Hamas, raising fears of a wider regional conflict that could drag in global powers and imperil world energy supplies.Fears of an escalation have increased since Oct. 1 when Iran launched about 200 ballistic missiles at Israel, killing one person in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, in response to earlier Israeli moves.Worsening conflict in Lebanon, where Israel is waging an intense campaign against Iran’s main regional ally Hezbollah to stop it firing rockets into northern Israel, has raised the temperature still further.The United States and other countries responded to Israel’s strikes by calling for an end to the cycle of confrontation. President Joe Biden said it appeared Israel had only struck military targets in its attack and that he hoped they were “the end”.

AI Translation for video above:
The neo-Nazi regime has been attacking our territory for a long time, outside the zone of hostilities, carrying out terrorist attacks against civilians and the civil infrastructure of our country. However, such a potential development of the situation will fundamentally change our relationship with the Western camp. If the decision to lift the restrictions is indeed adopted or will be adopted, it will mean that from this moment on, the NATO countries will start a direct war with Russia.
In this case, we will, of course, be forced to make the appropriate decisions with all the consequences resulting from them for the Western aggressors. Our Western colleagues will not be able to avoid responsibility and transfer all the blame to Kiev. As you know, the use of such weapons is possible only when you have access to intelligence data from the US and EU satellites.
Ukraine itself does not have such an opportunity. Only NATO servicemen can program such a weapon.
The following video appears to be of Joe Biden. There is a lot of echo which I removed but the remaining audio, although clear, still was incomprehensible. Someday, the geniuses who make AI software might make a Biden Mumble descrambler. For now, we just have this.
I’m sure there is more out there. Please leave comments and links to related news in the comments for this post.

Poisoned water on German military bases, and one UK canal
The canal may or may not be related. But several nations now do use the concept of unrestricted Warfare, which when you think about it, it would be surprising if at any point in history someone did restrict warfare on both sides of a conflict. In any case, these two events need to be watched, assuming we can ever know what actually happened. As we said, “Unrestricted Warfare”.
Major incident: source of cyanide in Walsall canal identified and spill stopped
The source of the Sodium Cyanide leak into a stretch of canal in Pleck in Walsall has been identified, Walsall Council has confirmed.
In their latest statement the council says the spillage has been stopped, and now an investigation is underway into its cause.
They have not revealed details of where it came from.
The chemical spill happened on Monday 12 August and was upgraded to a major incident the following day with the council warning of potential serious health risks to anyone who has had direct physical contact with the water.
The UK Health Security Agency describes sodium cyanide as “white crystal like solids with a faint almond colour” that is used in industry for metal cleaning, plating, extraction and photography.
Exposure to the chemical can cause headaches, nausea, dizziness, confusion, changes in heart rate and loss of consciousness, according to the agency.
Ingesting cyanide salts, which can dissolve in water, releases cyanide into the body, the agency’s website states.
Walsall Council is asking the public to avoid an extended area of the canal and towpaths from the Walsall lock flight to the lock flights at Rushall, Ryders Green and Perry Barr as a precautionary measure
One may get the feeling that the dangers of Sodium Cyanide is understated in this description.
If anyone finds any credible information on either of these events, please do put it in the comments.
Politcial Leader of Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh and one of his Boydguards have been Killed
In the early days of the war with the Taliban and Al Qaeda, leaders were often said to be assassinated and then appeared like tree fungus after a time. IIRC one of them died several times.
Also, MEK or another Persian group could have done this. Although I doubt the Israelis are sitting shiva for him, the Persians loath the Mullah regime and have done what they can to remove their various proxy forces. I have even heard that people with a beard who look like Hezb’allah can’t even get a cab in Tehran because the people hate them so much.
After the Toronto Police and FBI and USSS have been caught lying so egregiously and so often and with such singular purpose, at this point the old expression may as well be, “Believe none of what you read, and none of what you see, and that goes double for anything on Canada’s CBC.”
UPDATE:
IDF has confirmed his death. It appears he got Peter Panned. A drone flew in his bedroom window and sent him to Never Never land.
Major BREAKING Israel has new front with Hizb’allah in all out war
The background: Hizb’allah launched a missile that was unique in construction and payload to that Iranian proxy army. It hit a soccer field near a playground in a Druze village.
It is well known in Israel that one does not fuck with the Druze.
The Druze offered an ultimatum to Israel explaining they had 4 hours to respond to the attack, or the Druze would themselves. This is no idle threat. The Druze do not concern themselves with world opinion or what college LARPers have to say in Montreal. For the background, see RAIR Foundation here.
Israel appears to have wasted no time to engage Hizb’allah which is rumoured to have abandoned some military positions as soon as the Druze threat was public.
Below, a series of updates on what is a breaking story and one with consequence.
This Reddit thread is a must read. It has a lot of background on previous attacks the Druze people have done against the ‘Palestinians’ when they screwed with them.
Approximately an hour ago Hezbollah fired a rocket at the Druze town of Majdal Shams in Northern Israel which exploded in a soccer field resulting in the murder of numerous children:
While Israel has largely ignored Hezbollah’s constant attacks against residents in the North since Oct 8th, it will not be able to do so anymore. There is a generally understood rule that the Druze are not to be messed with as doing so results in dire consequences.
This is something Palestinians learnt all too well in 2022 when a Druze teenager who was seriously injured in a car crash in Jenin was taken off life support from the hospital he was being treated at and kidnapped resulting in his death.
Members of the Druze community in Israel immediately threatened to storm Jenin if his body was not immediately released along with some members of the community throwing explosives along with beating and kidnapping Palestinians in response. After 30 hours in captivity the body of Tiran Fero was unconditionally returned.
Everyone is well aware of Israel’s response after Oct 7th but the response that will be demanded by the Druze even if they have to enter Lebanon alone and on foot to get revenge on Hezbollah will make it seem like a joke. I can’t see Israel being able to prevent the inevitable response nor do I think it will stand in the way. In other words, the tit for tat has ended and Israel will now be in full out war with Hezbollah.
There are reports that Hezbollah has already started abandoning its military positions in Lebanon in anticipation of a severe military response however this is the least of Hezbollah’s worries as there are 250k members of the Druze community who live in Lebanon itself many of whom will want revenge as well.
In 2021, members of the Druze community of Chouya beat and captured members of Hezbollah who fired rockets at Israel endangering their village. As such I expect Hezbollah will not only be attacked by Israel but by the Lebanese Druze community as well.
Attacking the Druze is the definition of kicking a hornets nest. If Hezbollah hasn’t learnt this already they will learn it very soon: You do NOT fuck with the Druze.
Edit: It seems as though Hezbollah already knows what’s coming as they are already trying to deny their involvement in the attack.
In fact, more than they deny the attack, but Russian propaganda is already out claiming the missile that hit the Druze was an Iron Dome missile that went astray.
But it appears that the Israeli response is well under way on behalf of the Druze community…
The photos in this Tweet are NSFW and are of the children killed by the Hizb’allah rocket.

Nuclear capable F-16s to Ukraine and No Fly Zone
First 11 minutes
Comment:
A “No Fly Zone” is essentially a Declaration of War. Direct and kinetic.
It looks like that’s what’s going on: Poland states they’ll shoot down Russian delivery systems and missiles over a slice of Western Ukrainian airspace. That’s how NATO plans to deploy those sophisticated, nuclear-capable F16s.
Coincidentally, China and Belarus are conducting joint exercises along the Polish border. Right now.
HOWEVER:
Dima offers a somewhat less extreme possibility. De facto partition of THE UKRAINE. “Ukraine” simply means border in Slavic lingo. So this could be a restatement of historic fact rather than total escalation “No Fly Zone” in contemporary usage. (Belorussian Dima doesn’t mention these exercises at all.)
