Undercover Mosque and a follow up on one of the imams

RAIR Foundation did a story on one of the imams featured in the Channel4 news program, Dispatches called, Undercover Mosque.

At the time we were stunned that something approaching an MSM media would actually tell the truth about what is taught in the Islamic beachheads in the UK called Mosques. It was in strict defiance of state narratives in Great Britain at the time. But at that point sometime on or before 2016, the narrative wasn’t being quite as strictly enforced. Mind you, Dispatches did have to make a sequel where they diluted the message with the usual narrative caveats. It was still pretty good though.

Below is the original documentary. But read the article at RIAR about one dedicated imam who has not lost the vision, and continues to preach war and hate at every opportunity. Oh and he isn’t operating out of the UK anymore. Now he is in Florida.

 

It’s not hypocrisy, it is strategic weighting of one side of the game field: Links 1 for June 29, 2024

Adapting the thinking of Stephen Coughlin somewhat, one of the most important things to understand is that when a person points out the hypocrisy of the left, they are in fact missing the target in exactly the way the left wishes you to do.

The left operates on a different system of thought than those of us from a more Socratic culture do. Their semantic math if you like, is different from ours. What is hypocrisy in our semantic reality, is strategic selective enforcement in theirs. But much more than that. One can hear it with every narrative attack. None of it adds up in the world of real meaning because the purpose of leftist narrative attacks are to destroy meaning. What Stephen might call a “liquified reality”.

Many people cannot or don’t want to believe the left is this complex.

Let me say that complexity is often just alienness which requires the unlearning of how you think and the reabsorption of another system of thought, that once understood is actually another kind of simplicity. The Buddhist concept of Enlightenment may be an example of this. Years of meditation and specific guided practice to unlearn your way of filtering and interpreting your perceptions, and once opened up to the wider data set of all you can perceive, you have achieved a new way of thinking which manifests itself in a new kind of thinking and a great deal of insight in the case of Buddhism.

Indian Classical music is another example. If you try and understand it through the lens of Western musical systems of rhythm, you will abandon its pursuit as impossibly complex. If you abandon your Western education on counting musical time and accept that most of the world’s music (if we count cultures as opposed to what is produced) is based on a series of accented pulses, then it becomes something manageable.  (Indian Classical is still the most complex even of these systems.) The point being, it is another system of thought which is no more complex, but is alien and appears complex through the lens of our own way of seeing things. This is because of the effort required to understand it through your own lens, which has to end with the abandonment of that lens for the purpose of understanding, or incorporating it into one’s own thought process.

Stephen often explains that dialectics is the epistemology of the Left. Epistomology is the branch of philosophy that concerns itself with the theory of knowledge altogether. It’s the branch of philosophy most often represented in cartoons, if you like, of philosophy where you might see philosophers rapidly talk each other into believing nothing exists because you can’t really prove anything does.

Buddhism takes the position that suffering is real, and to be avoided, and then bases everything from that.

Which is actually a pretty decent premise. Especially if you come from India several thousand years ago.

Socrates demonstrated that with his system of reason and logic, you can predict future events, and describe reality by the attributes of things to a degree by understanding past and present behaviours of things. Models, in other words, can be built which reflect reality often well enough that you can build things which utilize the attributes as described by natural-science (Socratic philosophy) that will actually do what you want them to do. Nothing metaphysical at all. A always does this and B always does the other. So put them together and you have something which utilizes the attributes of A and B to create C.

So a Socratic world observes reality, then develops a taxonomy, or series of formal classifications of the observable world, and moves forward with that.

Taxonomy in fact may be one of the most powerful inventions Humans have ever created.

It can be used for tremendous harm or tremendous benefit.

The Nazi use of taxonomy is the clear example of evil uses of the science. But  the Nazis are just a branch office of the Left. Communists are the greatest weaponizers of taxonomy of all. The entire basis for commuinist thought is the imputation of attributes to its taxa as it created them. The Proletariat and Bourgeoisie.  And with this taxonomy, they have incorporated the metaphysical.

How might that look?

Western thought looks at humans and says: There are appear to be two basic kinds. Men and Women. And when they interact in a certain way, they make children. Nature overall appears to work that way across a wide variety of animals. So the basic taxa are males and females. And as nature is not a perfect copying machine, there are errors in translation of this genetic information from time to time which leads to subtaxa. Hermaphroditism and its sub branches for example.

Nothing metaphysical about any of this.

The Left though, as part of its narrative attacks against this very thing at all levels, gives us the ‘Trans-movement’.

The idea that a person can be “born in the wrong body” is very much a metaphysical idea. The ego of a thing and its physical container must be separate entities. It is, as Steven Pinker explains in his excellent book, The Blank Slate, one of the three concepts at the roots of modern leftist thought. And one of the concepts is from the book, The Ghost in the Machine.

(The other two are, The Blank Slate as per John Locke, and The Noble Savage by Jean Jacques Rousseau)

Mark Steyn in his post linked here the other day on the debate come massacre between Trump and Biden, described the leftist ambition as not so much convincing us of the lie, but forcing us to live with the lie. This would be the tactical use of the narrative as it is used against us with the idea of trans-people. But the inner logic is metaphysical and there are people who truly and genuinely believe it. In some cases, you can identify them because they cut some of their bits off trying to achieve a sort of Silence of the Lambs effect with less killing of other people. Some of them though, know exactly what they are doing. You can identify them because they do kill often a lot of people. A more and more noticeable trend despite media and state security apparatus attempts to hide those killings by ‘Trans-people’ as they do of Muslims in the name of Islam.

Theodore Dalrymple put it most excellently though…

The only improvement would be to explain that “political correctness” is in fact dialectics in the form of Discourse Theory cancelation of all who oppose narrative attacks.

Put much more simply, the left makes up something by committee which the committee all agree on. This will be called a “consensus”.

The “consensus” will be near total bullshit, or as Stephen explains in another video, the truthfulness of it will be as real as it needs to be, to get the effect they want.

The committee, usually a COMINTERN think tank, will then launch critical theory attacks on anyone who points out that the narrative attack is bullsh*t.

In other words, they call you names.

They call you names which the left made sure has such power, that your basic life as you know it can be, and often is destroyed.

One of those insults is the word, ‘Racist’.

At this late stage of the revolution, pretty much everyone recognizes how that being a racist is a concept that is never allowed to be spoken or thought. Much like uttering the word which starts with a letter between M and O. That everyone has to make sure to demonstrate in every action and word that they are not a ‘racist’. So being called on generally destroys a person’s reputation pretty severly, and results in job losses and even ostracism from their communities and even cities. Yet no one stops to realize that except in Western nations, not only does no one give a crap aboout racism,. but it is actually policy in most of the world.

Don’t believe me? Ask anyone who is not Han Chinese living in the PRC. Or any white person near British Gianna or the Atlantic coast of Costa Rica. Or any African who is the wrong kind of African in most of Africa.

And our favorite example of all of the above, is how the Left, turned Islam into a race somehow, even though Indonesia is the most populous Muslim Country and are East Asians ethnically, and accuse anyone who doesn’t like Islam as a doctrine as being “racist” and Islamophobic, and forbidding anyone from speaking the obvious truth from within islamic scripture, history and contemporary sermons that Islam is almost nothing more than a system of war.

A perfect killing machine against all who will not accept Islam as their total authority in all things.

The precise same model is used to push Global Warming.

There is never a mention allowed that China and India produce most of the world’s CO2. We should actually be grateful to them as that is why we have better and better crop yields recently, but the COMINTERN push it as an existential threat. So we cannot point out that the extremely destructive and pointless measures imposed only on Western nations in the name of Climate Justice, are never expected of the people who do most of the Carbon production. Just like racism. You will be called “A holocaust Climate denier” and worse.

For those interested in the science of climate and the facts on it, search for any videos of lectures by Tom Harris. 

We argue that while yes, it is important to understand the true workings of the climate to inform better policy, there is nearly no point in understanding the reality of it until at least you understand that these narrative attacks on us to force us to accept that which isn’t real, or at least live with it, is intended to make everything worse, and worse for Western Civilization until there is nothing whatsoever left of it.

This morning walking around this little part Ontario one couldn’t help but notice the unseasonably cool and wet weather we have despite the dialectic bomber of the CBC letting everyone know all the time that this is the hottest summer ever in human history etc.

(Yes, I know the difference between climate and weather but the CBC makes damn sure to claim hot weather is reflective of the climate at every opportunity)

So I got to thinking. Maybe the CBC could launch a new narrative attack. It could go like this:

Humans exhale so much moisture in their breaths that they are causing Global wetting. And the only way to solve this problem is a massive tax on your breath, which would apply even more harshly on people involved in one of the few industries not already being destroyed by the Carbon tax. Farmers of course would pay the most if they keep animals. And none of this would apply to China, India or Africa.

The reason they probably wouldn’t do this narrative, which is no less ludicrous than the ones they do use, is because they don’t want to appear pivot back to overpopulation. That was a narrative attack they used to stop people of European extraction and even of European culture, Western civ in other words, to stop having children. We see now with all Western nations claiming they face an existential threat unless they import millions of hostiles to their countries that those nations will cease to be. Suddenly, the problem is underpopulation, even though the Earth’s population is  more than double what it was when they launched the overpopulation dialectic through the Club of Rome report in 1972. About 3.85 billion people then, and about 8 billion in 2023.

So Islam and Leftism use very similar methods of destroying who we are in every sense of our identities. eventually to replace our personal self identification with whatever they want.

In a sense I suppose you could say the plan is:

Where B = Brain,

  1. Format B,
  2. install OS Comuslam.

And now a few current examples:

1. ANTIFA ‘Trans’ person on trial for extremely violent behaviour

https://twitter.com/MrAndyNgo/status/1806848733658730676?s=19

Recently a person in the US went on trial for leaking the manifesto of a trans mass school killer because it exposed the trans-motives for the murder of children at a Christian school. To be frank, that fact alone should tell us all we need to know about the current state of the machinery of government.

2. Hot summer days in Arizona is proof that there is climate change which is also proof that Donald Trump lied in the debate for failing to accept that particular narrative attack and instead, spoke about real climate issues.

3. Gassy cows and pigs will face a carbon tax in Denmark, the first country to do so 

COPENHAGEN, Denmark — Denmark will tax livestock farmers for the greenhouse gases emitted by their cows, sheep and pigs from 2030, the first country to do so as it targets a major source of methane emissions, one of the most potent gases contributing to global warming.

The aim is to reduce Danish greenhouse gas emissions by 70% from 1990 levels by 2030, said Taxation Minister Jeppe Bruus.

As of 2030, Danish livestock farmers will be taxed 300 kroner ($43) per ton of carbon dioxide equivalent in 2030. The tax will increase to 750 kroner ($108) by 2035. However, because of an income tax deduction of 60%, the actual cost per ton will start at 120 kroner ($17.3) and increase to 300 kroner by 2035.

Although carbon dioxide typically gets more attention for its role in climate change, methane traps about 87 times more heat on a 20-year timescale, according to the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

4. This one speaks to the narrative attack, ‘Safe and Effective’

5. This is arguably a pure example of the simplest aspect of tilting the game table. The lack of reporting on ANTIFA attacks of the debate, and the encouragement of the rioting taking place in 2020

The subjects and ideas in this post are complex and some are subtle. I can say with some certainly right now that I probably did not do a very good job of expressing them well, and certainly not as well as they should be.

Please do post any questions or criticisms and factual corrections to the comments and thank you in advance for doing so.

Multiculturalism means shooting police, CBC does a hit piece on an Ottawa medical resident, pay more taxes or people will gargle with gasoline, of course the debate: Links 1 for June 18, 2024

1. Taking the multiculturalism argument to its logical extreme, or perhaps just to its logical purpose, an illegal migrant to the US explains to the court that shooting police is his culture.

2. In case anyone thinks the government narratives to force its way into more and more of our lives while taking more and more of our resources and rights ended with Covid, observe:

The clip above is from the dialectical narrative factory, CBC, which also published a major set of lies against a truly outstanding and decent human being, as well as an excellent doctor and scientist. The story linked here claims that he prescribed Ivermectin while a resident physician. FIrst of all I know this doctor, and he NEVER prescribed it. But also, he cannot prescribe at all. When a resident, you fill a script and a licenced doctor signs off on it. Had he actually. prescribed Ivermectin, even if it wasn’t a political taboo, he would never be able to practice. Not just get an 8 month suspension. And that would be true for anything he would prescribe when a resident. Residents don’t even have a pad. Their signature would not be accepted.

The following is a screen grab of the article as PUBLISHED by CBC yesterday afternoon. They have updated the article since, but not apology or retraction was made. Changing the headline means they know it was a lie. And not retracting it as prominently as the lie was, will hopefully bring at least a quintillionth of the suffering upon them that CBC has inflicted on a trusting Canadian public from a law suit.

Virtually NONE of the article is true. Or where there is a tiny element of truth, it is so misrepresented as to what the old expression holds to be “the damndest of lies being that of the half truth”. A first aid station, if I remember correctly, was set up at the Biker’s Church during the convoy.

(The Biker’s Church has been the target of many attacks by ANTIFA . in the form of Graffiti etc. Which gives us some idea of the alliance between the state narratives, the propagator of those narratives, CBC, CTV and Global, and the enforcers against those who challenge the narratives, the same media outfits and ANTIFA for the kinetic aspects of the colour revolution.)

This is because it was so cold for most of the freedom convoy protest, that the temperature was the same in F as it was in C. Anyone, but anyone can administer first aid. Which in this case meant letting people warm up with hot coffee or chocolate. Maybe a bandaid. but first aid only. Anyone reading this who has not been expressly forbidden from doing first aid because of some egregious crime, can do it. This would include a resident doctor.

Furthermore, Jeremiah NEVER represented himself as a licensed doctor. Although other people may have represented him that way out of pride of knowing him. He also did not self promote, but someone at the convoy mentioned his name without asking him if that was OK with him. The article linked here is a condemnation of both the CBC and the CPSO. Although I don’t know how much worse their reputation can get after having watched some of the CPSO star chamber tactics online against other counter-state narrative physicians and scientists. As for CBC. watch the various videos on Rumble of Rodney Palmer. One of MANY CBC ex ranking staffers from that organization that left due to the dramatic change in, shall we say programming. That is to say they went from programming broadcast media, to using a broadcast media to program the public.

I hope the doctor named in this article sues the CBC right down to the ground. Maybe best though if he waits till after the next election. Then maybe he can scoop up the salaries of those CBC officials directly instead of just draining the tax base.

Two other flat out lies. The CPSO did not choose not to renew his licence, and we have reason to believe that the CBC reached out to him with only a couple of hours notice before publication. This would be tantamount to not reaching out at all. [This is a correction to an earlier statement that there was no attempt to reach Dr. Hadwin.] To plumb the depths of how low CBC has sunk, you would need Regan McNeil and a Ouija Board.

[update] A lot more has been learned about this since i began to write it. The CBC acted in bad faith in ways anyone should expect, but still not believe. I won’t go into details, because they appear to be about to turn on an entire community. but here is a hint. One line from their liable hit piece:

“At the time, the website — which was also littered with biblical references and imagery”

I wonder what this organization and reporter might think about biblically minded people. And I wonder what we could contrast that with in terms of representing religious values.

More on this to come.

As the article says, the conditions seem as restrictive in a way to the public as to him. What we aren’t allowed to know.

5. Eugyppius, truly one of the best substack commentaries and analysts out there, compiled some of the best and most memorable Biden quotes out there. Well, memorable  if you can get your brain to work that way. Sort of like Yogi Berra quotes. A couple are below, but click through, they are all memorable in that impossible to remember way.

Joe Biden, sitting President of the United States, in his historic debate with former President Donald J. Trump, on abortion:

Look, there’s so many young women who have been – including a young woman who just was murdered and he – he went to the funeral. The idea that she was murdered by a – by – by an immigrant coming in, and they talk about that. But here’s the deal, there’s a lot of young women who are being raped by their – by their in-laws, by their – by their spouses, brothers and sisters, by – just – it’s just – it’s just ridiculous. And they can do nothing about it.

Joe Biden, sitting President of the United States, in his historic debate with former President Donald J. Trump, on the national debt of the United States:

For example, we have a thousand trillionaires in America – I mean, billionaires in America. And what’s happening? They’re in a situation where they, in fact, pay 8.2 percent in taxes. If they just paid 24 percent or 25 percent, either one of those numbers, they’d raised $500 million – billion dollars, I should say, in a 10-year period. We’d be able to right wipe out his debt. We’d be able to help make sure that all those things we need to do – childcare, elder care, making sure that we continue to strengthen our healthcare system, making sure that we’re able to make every single solitary person eligible for what I’ve been able to do with the – with – with – with the Covid. Excuse me, with dealing with everything we have to do with – look, if – …. – we finally beat Medicare.

Joe Biden, sitting President of the United States, in his historic debate with former President Donald J. Trump, on the climate crisis:

We find ourselves – and by the way, black colleges, I came up with $50 billion for HBCUs, historic black universities and colleges, because they don’t have the kind of contributors that they have to build these laboratories and the like. Any black student is capable in college in doing any white student can do. They just have the money. But now, they’ll be able to get those jobs in high tech.

Personally I thought the debate was going to be a. great deal more deceptive than it turned out to be. I expected major trickery based on the rules of the thing. I figured they wanted no studio audience because they didn’t want people to be able to see whatever David Copperfield like illusion they created to get someone who had his wits about him to take the place of of the likely next on-the-box-model for Depends. In a discussion with a friend it was explained that with advanced dementia, a studio audience would likely distract and annoy him, and would do much worse than he did. Also they muted Trump’s mic when he wasn’t speaking because Biden would not be able to handle it if talked over.

In this rare circumstance, that was a blessing for Trump. Trump would have had an even higher score after the debate had he said nothing and let Joe just talk the whole time.

Questions might arise as to why CNN would even post a result like this. CNN, like CBC etc. are COMINTERN weapons of enemy propaganda. Which makes one thing that this may be just another kind of lie. One designed to create the right environment to swap out Joe with someone who could be installed as President in a way that would be believable to enough people that they wouldn’t take up arms.

POLITICO: Democrats really have no way to spin this. We break down Biden’s disastrous debate.

Joe Biden face-planted in one of the highest stakes moments of his political life —igniting widespread concerns among Democrats about his fitness as a candidate.

Debating former President Donald Trump with a raspy voice, wandering eyes, pallid complexion and a halting delivery, Biden’s performance was at times unintelligible. And though Trump blustered through his own answers with falsehoods, there was one defining issue: Biden’s age.

Democrats are reeling. The first debate is in the books. The second — and last — won’t come until Sept. 10, and that’s assuming it even happens. We asked five POLITICO campaign reporters and editors for their takeaways from the first general election debate of the 2024 campaign.

So the Left is not dropping the con about Trump claiming that their lies like Russia Gate and a few good men and so on are the truth, and Trump’s statements of fact are lies. But they are clearly intending to swap out Biden. Smooth move if that was the plan all along.

HIs wife stood by him though. I have to say, even as a child, I don’t remember being praised by a parent for just answering all the questions. Generally I had to get most or all of them right before I heard a kind word. So we do see that the left believes in a diversity of standards. Mind you, we already were well aware of that.

Thank you all for checking out this site.

Anyone planning to watch the debate tonight may want to watch this video for 4 minutes first and see if there is any kind if simile there. After all, a lot of technology has advanced since this particular event in the 1980s. We all know the shape Biden is in. So the only thing we can know for sure, is Trump will not be debating Biden exactly. We can also know this because of the extensive and unprecedented rules for the debate, which, like the linked video, seem to be setting up parameters for an illusion of some kind. AI responses? Body double? Something TV cameras from a certain angle won’t catch but a live audience might.

Meanwhile, a commercial for the debate:

Yesterday’s attacks at an LA Synagogue and more with a look at the nature of the enforcement and reportage on it

Time to add a little clarity to the actual world we live in. Not the one we had, if we ever did, but the one we are in now.

The world operates by a clear set of rules. But they are so contrary to what people believe is taking place, that they get mired in words like “hypocrisy” so that eventually, many of us to just shut down altogether. Kinda like the original Star Trek logic bomb they used a few times. Computers would be faced with a paradox and shut themselves down because they could not adapt to the reality of the situation and continue forward. That’s who most of us are. Landru the computer-God Or Nomad, the sterilizing probe.

One of the rules actually in play is fairly simple.

A leftist or a Muslim acts provocatively. In fact provocatively enough to guarantee a reaction. The people who react are then guilty of islamophobia or transphobia or interfering with the freedom of speech or religion of the rights somehow of people doing the provocation. Another is revealing narrative weapons against the public.

Here is a good example. A Twitter user in Germany was criminally charged for assembling a list of Covid-era insults that politicians and ‘celebrities’ hurled at those who refused the vaxx.

Examples of the provocation tactic of the Islamic Street prayer flavour are now so numerous that I’ll just post one or two. But anyone reading this can think of probably half a dozen of personal experiences where they wanted to react to a leftist, trans, Islamic, lgbtQ action with even a negative remark but held their tongues for fear of the consequences. Cause at some level, we do know the rules from a limiting of behaviour way.

https://twitter.com/islamwatch_/status/1716463760595124636

 

These street ‘prayers’ are everywhere now in Canada. But this site has been documenting these provocations, which are really more of a close order drill than of a religious ritual, for 18 years in France and other parts of non-Muslim Europe.

It is worth mentioning as an aside, that these rituals are never performed in an actual Islamic country. If they did mass prayers in the middle of a busy road in Ryad Saudi Arabia there would be a lot of very bloody tires at the Lamborghini dealership the next day. These events are political. Just like the Q in lgbtQ. 

So we know that reacting to even an illegal act like the one above, denying people the right of way on a public road in a demonstration that very likely had no permit, will get you a negative reaction. The police will not act on your behalf stating that you asked for it, you provoked them, or it was two gangs voluntarily fighting. See how that works? its the language of the law, but is as far from the law as it can be.

On the other hand…

If people who believe in a more or less republican form of government with equality before the law, and in fact, the rule of law being the standard of enforcement, and dare to stage a protest asking for unity and the restoration of rule of law, well we can ask anyone who was at the Freedom Convoy on the last 2 days how that would go. The blame will be entirely on the people asking for thier actual rights, no matter how peacefully or respectfully they do so.

The media is the real army in an information war. The legacy broadcast media and most social media for that matter.

Another front of the information war, is how the state deals with information that is a threat to the revolution. One of my favorite examples, we cannot show as arrests will follow if we do. But we did get a chance to see the actual manifesto of the Christchurch mosque shooter before it was banned, and all the Western governments who quoted it, made up the quotes. It was wholly altered to fit the revolutionary narrative. Same thing of several documents written by people who took drastic and illegal actions against the revolution as they saw it. Perhaps banning the live streams from publication is understandable. But making it a criminal offence to have the video is not. A hundred times more so for possessing or sharing the Christchurch shooter’s manifesto. But the reasons they did criminalize its possession is now clear. It was to prevent people from exposing the way in which it was going to be used. To create a narrative, or a supporting set of lies to the narrative already in play.

Here is an example of the exact same thing we can show you. A reporter may face jail for leaking the manifesto of a person who claimed to be the other sex and went on a school shooting spree.

A public records case over a leaked manifesto belonging to Audrey Hale, a transgender individual who shot up the Covenant School in a Nashville suburb – killing three 9-year-old children and three adults, has spiraled into a contentious legal battle which could see a journalist tossed in jail if he doesn’t reveal his source. On Monday, Chancellor I’Ashea Myles of Davidson County ordered Michael Patrick Leahy, editor and owner of the conservative news website The Tennessee Star, to appear in court. Leahy is to participate in a “show cause hearing” on June 17to address why he should not be held in contempt over his publication’s use of the leaked documents.

Once upon a time a court might ask for a source in order to prevent a future crime perhaps. In this case, it is to prevent a state narrative from taking damage by the truth.

Let’s take another example from, say, 3 minutes ago.

A large group of leftists, leftists LARPing as Arabs, as well as some actual Muslims, went to a Jewish area in Las Angeles and started attacking Jews, and Jewish institutions like food places and Synagogues.

If you search YouTube for:

“Muslims attack Jews in LA”, which is actually what happened, Jews didn’t gather in an angry mob in front of a mosque, here is what you get:

Screenshot

As you can see, the entire event is relativized.

Not that Jews or Jewish areas were attacked, but they “faced off”. “Clashed”

We all know how the media would present it if people representing classical views went near say, a school and asked teachers to stop showing children pornography, or not allow adult men to parade around nearly naked with their children at schools in lurid dances or even if schools were asked to stop telling children they were “born in the wrong body” and should have their genitals removed to fix it. Somehow.

This is consistent across the West now. Examples range from the banal, to the ‘well we can sort of understand that’, to the outrageous. Like how a girl who was savagely gang raped by over 9 men in Germany spent more time in prison than all but one of the rapists for calling them savages.

Rebel news reports on a major ANTIFA colour revolution effort in Montreal. Here is how it went first hand. How will it be reported? How will CBC listeners come to know about it, if at all? Since selective reporting is in fact a principle tool of the information based tyranny we now live in. One which will become kinetic very soon we fear.

 

Let’s have a look at some of the material from yesterday’s attack on Jewish people and institutions from 1st hand observers:

If we do not start to understand that these examples along with Covid and Vaxx truths define our times and are not exceptions or examples of a problem, we are never going to be able to dig our way out. If you cannot take the blindfold off, you cannot hit the target.

But in a way, we do understand it. Most people clearly are afraid to speak out against the most obvious and egregious lies. Like a man who claims to be a woman should be treated more than as a woman than a woman is, and be celebrated for being brave and special as he accesses women’s private domains and activities. We have semiconsciously at least come to accept the revolutionary order of things. And when we do speak out, we limit ourselves to the allowable arguments doled out to us. Arguments that serve only the Left’s purposes.

 

3 main media sites ramp up the commie tactics over C-67, Disney won’t hire even half white males: Links 1 for June 21, 2024

1. At this point fewer and fewer people need to be shown that CBC is a weapon against the Canadian people, culture, and mostly liberties. This goes for CTV and Global as well of course.
During Covid, one of the key tactics of the MSM, and perhaps CBC in particular, was to ask questions of the powerful in government why they did not to more to curtail liberties. Of course it wasn’t phrased exactly that way. It would be more like, “Quebec is implementing a curfew! Why does Ontario not follow suit!” This was to Ford. But there are hundreds of examples of this same kind of phoney staged ‘truth-to-power’ acts by the three major MSMSs every day on broadcast media and clips on social media.

To spell it out a little more clearly: The state would have a program which removes a fundamental freedom from the public. A policy which would be called tyrannical if a state that Canada was using as an example of the bad at that moment like Russia or Hungary tried to effect.
Reporters would bring on a senior bureaucrat or a minister and ask why the state didn’t do more to curtail freedoms in an angry voice, so it looked like opposition and journalism instead of what it was and is. Propaganda, manipulation and forcing a pseudo reality narrative.

During Covid it was about the freedoms to travel or work or the basic stuff we hopefully all remember.

Now it has moved to freedom of speech. The state is trying to pass many laws which will criminalize counter-revolutionary speech under the “hate-speech” rubric. This will likely be retroactive, in the sense that they can look over things you have said or published on social media and act on it from a time when it was legal to publish something you observed that you felt was true at the time, to even being able to criminalize you because they feel you are likely to say something counter-revolutionary. Or in their language, you will say something hateful about a group they currently hold as more equal than others. Feel free to talk trash aboout Jews, Israelis, Russians and any other group we have always been at war with, as they say in 1984, until the narrative changes and we were never at war with them and we have always been at war with someone else. Then the arrests start again.

In the clip below, a reporter, and we would very sincerely like to find out who is asking the questions here, angrily demands of an MP to push through a hate speech bill, C-67, an explanation of which you can see in the video linked here, in the same manner they did of demanding harsher Covid measures.

Again, never did they ask where these measures needed? Why the actual death rate didn’t match the modelled ones. Why nothing actually happened as the state said it was. The questions always demanded more state power and less individual existence.

Watch the clip below:

So far there appears to be no questions about why a bill that undermines the most basic of liberties in a republic like state is needed at all or how it will make Canadians more free, wealthy and secure.

2. Communists using the dialectic device of “transgender” appear to be competing with Muslims for murdering innocents and the uninvolved for political reasons.

3. Decidedly communist Environment Minister, Steven Guilbeault is exposed for fairly run of the mill corruption along with other Liberal party apparatchiks. To know what this exposure really means, watch to see if there are any negative consequences to the exposing of this mundane financial scamming, and see if the authoritarian policies they are championing get passed. The answers of course will be respectively, no, and yes.

Meanwhile a few good Canadians are on never ending trials for protesting the illegal Covid mandates and a commended police officer’s hearings for insubordination is going into it’s 3rd year for daring to even look into the idea that maybe a large number of excess nursing babies suddenly died after their moms received the mRNA vaxx. Donald Trump got over 30 convictions for felonies in an unprecedented twisting of the legal process and definitions of crimes, and rioters from 2020 who threw molotov cocktails at police and police stations have not been reported as having been convicted or sentenced to custody. (This last part I stand ready to be corrected. I personally have not seen any reports. Its possible that they have. But the number of armed people that took over CHAD or CHAZ and created “Autonomous Zones” in a genuine insurrection was large, and I believe news of those trials and convictions would have found their way here by now.

The point being, if we cannot admit at this point that the revolution happened, that the evidence of our senses is effectively illegal to say out loud, and become more so by the month, if we cannot see and acknowledge where we actually are on the game board, we don’t stand a chance of reclaiming the republican form of government that the West was founded on.

4. The dialectical negation of Canada day, itself a dialectical negation of Dominion day, continues:

For what it’s worth, the same home next to this phone-pole had a BLM poster in the window for years. Coincidence? No other phone-pole in the area had this poster attached.

5. James O’Keefe busts Disney for systemic  racist hiring policies.

Here is what we can learn from this video:

If anyone ever finds themselves on a date with someone they met over the internet, and who is probably a lot hotter than you are, you have a couple of options.

A. Do NOT talk about work.

B. talk about work pretending like you don’t know its a sting in order to get you around any NDA you may have had to sign but is being used to cover illegal activities like Disney clearly does on multiple fronts. In other words, play along if it is in your interests and the interests of the public and the truth,

Shots fired at Jewish restaurant in Montreal, comparing Carlin in the 90s to now plus an understanding of Donald Trump from a Canadian perspective: Links 1 for June 20th, 2024

1. Shots fired at Montreal Israeli cuisine eatery on anti-Zionist boycott list

Falafel Yoni was recently placed on an anti-Israel boycott list and has been bombarded with what it says are fake, politically motivated reviews.

In the latest shooting against a Jewish-owned institution in Montreal in the wake of the October 7 Massacre, an Israeli cuisine restaurant was shot at over Tuesday night, according to the eatery and local Canadian politicians.

No casualties were reported by authorities. Falafel Yoni said on social media that one of their locations had been targeted on Tuesday night, and that they had closed for the day due to the holes in the storefront windows.  

“Thanks so much for the overwhelming amount of support we’ve recieved,” said Falafel Yoni. “We’ll be back to business as usual tomorrow.”

“History does not repeat itself. But it does rhyme”. -Mark Twain

“Jewish people. Do you understand now why the US has a 1st amendment and you are an idiot if you expect the state to protect you?” -Me. Just now.

2. Carlin may not have gotten a bullseye on this 90s rant. But it’s in the 50 ring for sure. He may not be right about Israel and terrorism, but he is certainly right that the word terrorism has become a weapon all on it’s own. For the 1990s, its a pretty good set of insights about the use of language in the US. And before we get pushback on terrorism, terrorism is a tactic. The Israelis don’t use it and exceed the conditions of the Geneva Convention more than any other fighting force ever. Terrorism is about the use of violence against soft targets to achieve a political objective. But that isn’t the point of this item. The use of language as weapon against us is.

Flash forward to a June 19, 2024 headline in the dialectic propaganda paper, The Toronto Star, often called, The Red Star

Full text:

I was unable to leave my Country. Quebec forced people into their homes by 10pm or face fines. I was unable to earn a living. The Government closed businesses they deemed non essential. They mandated an experimental vaccine or face consequences. Myself and my family were banned from restaurants, cinemas, gyms, theatres and more. Canadians protested and the emergencies act was enacted to stomp them out. The Government froze the bank accounts of non criminal citizens. The Government tracked citizens movement via their cellular phones. Don’t lecture us about not losing Freedom.

I’ll leave you to read the article linked above. I don’t have my antiemetics handy. But moving from what Quebec did, which included curfews,( and I have met people personally who’s homes were raided by police for being on their own lawns and having family over, the video of which was posted to Vlad at the time) to see it described as the Star does is a rather good extrapolation of Carlin’s observations. and to warp a popular expression, does help us to put too fine a point on it.

It is worth having a look at this 2021 Liberal Party official website though, just as a fact check:

 

 

3. This site has put forward quite often that one of the main enemy tactics for advancement on the battlefield for rights and culture, which ultimately means law and control, is to make up a name for people opposing something repugnant, then be that repugnant thing and provoke and provoke until they get a predictable reaction. Then, you destroy the people who reacted with the name they made up in anticipation of the reaction. This probably started with “racism” as a form of dialectic attack frankly. And remember, these names do not have to contain truth, but also don’t have to be pure fictions. The truthfulness of the claim is not the point. It is the damage they can do to civilization with it, which is the point. In part with the strategy outlined here.

Watch this video of a man dressed as a woman and pretending to be one, provoking BillBoard Chris with increasing degrees as Chris refuses to react. Everyone knows the man in a dress and lipstick isn’t a woman. No one is unclear on that.

The following video may require some calm thought before dismissing it angrily. Even the Nazis were not white supremacists. They HATED the Slavs and Russians with a flaming passion and allied themselves with the darker Muslims because of their equal or greater hatred of Jews than the Nazis. Slavs and Russians on the Pantone scale are a lot whiter than Southern Italians and Japanese and Bosnian Muslims, all of which were allies of the Nazis.

4. Here’s something not immediately obvious as to purpose. The Canadian Government has listed the IRGC as a terrorist entity.

Last I heard, Trudeau’s brother was a reporter for Press TV, the Iranian State propaganda organ. When Harper threw the Iranian diplomatic mission out of Canada the Trudeau government was looking to bring them back in as nearly the first order of business after his first election.

For those that want a first hand look at the IRGC, go to the Iranian Embassy Residence in Rockcliffe Park and take a few pictures from the street. The IRGC will follow you around for quite a while after that. Let’s see if this new designation means photography of mansions will be a safer activity now. Still, it has to mean something that this counter-revolutionary measure was passed in the Canadian Parliament, or it has to mean that this measure has no meaning and nothing will actually change.

5. It has been a favorite kind of video for some time now of this site when parents go and speak to school boards about the absolute horror shows they have become. Especially over Covid measures and SOGI. This father has a few words to say to his local school board. And not for the first time, he is cut out and removed for using language to the school board he read out loud directly from books being given to grade school children in that very school district.

It is also the belief of this site that Donald Trump is important as a symbol to all Americans not overthrowing the republic, because he represents permission for the people to take the republic back. I don’t remember the exact phrase, something about “A government for the people by the people and of the people”. Maybe I’m mangling it.

But he would likely empower people to remove the revolutionaries from all these boards and restore the republic.

And now a few words to Canadians about Donald Trump.

Canadians, and even the ones who don’t think they have been massaged into socialists/communists, have been slow-boiled by these leftists for a long time now. From Pierre Trudeau’s making it a JAIL-ABLE OFFENCE to measure in the imperial system (A clear socialist proof of how the state can change a fundamental of our history and culture not only for no reason, but against all practical reasons) until Joe Clark passed the Freedom to Measure act, right to Pearson, another commie, replacement of a proper Canadian flag which actually had meaning in terms of the dominion of our country and its origins to a hammer & sickle Maple Leaf between two red bars. And a hundred other incremental dialectical lines of operation which have nudged Canadians into actually wanting the state to become all powerful. The most recent is people clamouring for “hate speech” laws which are already being used against classically minded citizens and in favour of Muslims and the revolutionaries and it will only get worse as the new bills like C-67 and C-673 get passed.

Canadians hate Donald Trump for the exact same reason they love Terry Fox. Fox didn’t make it, and died trying. The ultimate Canadian archetype while Trump succeeds at everything he does and is unstoppable. That is the American archetype right there. And Canadians find it distasteful.

Now might be a good time to rethink what is admirable to Canadians before the state takes it into its power to dictate that for your from here to perpetuity.

Thanks for checking out this site.

 

IMPORTANT UPDATE on the Helen Grus hearings – Her lawyer goes public on Wednesday morning

Something really huge is happening in the Helen Grus hearings. Her lawyer is planning to come out and speak about the case publicly. This is big news.

Having sat in the hearing room on several occasions over the various weeks this hearing has been convened, I can say that while I do not know what she will say I do know what the tone of it will be.

I would recommend listening to as much of what she says Wednesday morning as possible. Not as much for Helen’s sake as for all of our sakes. This hearing is an astonishing example of how the legal system and all our institutions have been swapped out for a political process. Dialectics, yeah that.

These hearings, like Jan. 6 in the US, The Couts hearings, the trials of Pat King and Tamara Lich and others are so obviously not following a process of determining truth and setting an outcome based on that truth beyond a reasonable doubt. But to insure a predetermined political outcome which gives more power to the state at the expense of the truth rather than to maintain the truth as the key aspect of policy and crime & punishment.

Thanks to the incompetence of the hearing officer though, the Helen Grus hearings is perhaps the most transparent example of the lack of transparency in a hearing in order to guarantee the conclusion they want. When the man playing a judge in a hearing actually objects to a defence statement, and asks the prosecution if or why they are not objecting to what they hear, you know you have a clumsy and badly rehearsed star chamber. So much the better for our understanding of the process.

If it was done well, it would be much, much harder to prove the true nature of what we see.

And the conclusion they want is that Helen is guilty of whatever they say she is guilty of, in order that the public should never know that the mRNA injections killed a LOT of babies.

That simple explanation is not the heart of the matter.

The reason as stated above can be swapped out for anything. It is the process which is so dastardly.

If the state can tamper with all our systems for the purpose of hiding the truth about vaxx damage to babies, then they will, not can, but will for whatever other purpose they have at any given moment. To protect whatever other narrative attack they launch on the public.

This site reported on a plan by one or another of the federal or international agencies some months ago to make opposing the climate change narrative, itself a dialectical line of effort, a “hate crime”.

Speaking against the most obvious anti-truths you can think of, I dunno, let’s say if a man says he is a woman he is a real woman. And to stop him from accessing all things reserved for women would be a “hate crime” or whatever. Once you have gone there, there is no where the dialectical engineers won’t go. And as this epistemology of the left is strictly and only about a never ending path of destruction, we can understand how once homosexuality was fully normalized, homosexuals became cancelled unless they went along with the next Line of Action. The Trans-movement. And that now is already becoming normalized and is being cancelled as establishment as the left moves to normalize paedophelia. And that will be cancelled once it becomes normalized, and why wouldn’t it, parents already celebrate the castration and radical hysterectomies of their own children today. And then it will move to incest. And after incest maybe Necrophilia. After all, its permitted in the Koran, right? And in sharia law so long as the wife hasn’t been dead too long. Or should I say ‘Metabolically challenged’.

Anyone surprised about this?

The man who wrote the public school sex ed curricula in Ontario under the watchful eye of Premiere Kathleen Wynn, spent serious jail time for promoting paedophelia and incest.

From the Toronto Sun:

Caught by undercover officers online, the world-renowned educator, UofT prof and former member of Kathleen Wynne’s transition team was a frequent visitor to an incest chat room where he counselled single moms on how to sexually assault their daughters for his pleasure and theirs, a site where his profile listed his sexuality as “nothing is taboo.” In one disgusting sampling read out in court, the depraved Levin told one London “mom” he’d like to “f— all 3 (of her children) in front of you with your help…would they submit or would I need to tie them?”

Really. This was Wynn’s Minister of Education.

So PLEASE read these Tweets and try and follow as much as you can of what Helen Grus’ lawyer has to say on Wednesday.

This is a tremendous journalistic coup for
@JasonLavigneMP
.

Lawyer Van den Berg (and co-counsel Blair Ector) have refused to speak with news media since being retained by
@OttawaPolice
Detective Helen Grus in about September, 2022.

Also appearing on the show is Dr. James Thorp
@jathorpmfm
– one of five defense expert witnesses rejected by Tribunal Officer Superintendent Chris Renwick (retired) in a very contentious and overtly biased decision.

Detective Grus faces an internal disciplinary charge of Discreditable Conduct for daring to commence a criminal investigation into the potential connection between jabbed mothers and a cluster of deceased breast-feeding infants in the Ottawa area.

She was suspended in February 2022, ordered back to work in October 2022 and has faced weeks of hearings and motion dates since then. Her trial is due to resume in about January of 2025 with the prosecution continuing the cross-examination of Detective Grus who took the stand in her own defense.

DON’T MISS THIS SHOW!!!

The first 30 minutes of the show will be public on all the usual channels – but the unrestricted information continues in the Members Only area – for which you must be a member (not a subscriber).

The Canadian security report, Carbon tax costs, new symbol on alt.sex flag, Mark Steyn suffers more heart attacks and giant demo on Parliament Hill tomorrow: Links 1 for June 14th 2024

1. Pierre Poilievre seems to have gotten ahold of a document showing that the Liberal Party knew that the ‘carbon tax’ actually costs Canadians $B20 or 1200.00 per family in extra costs.

Pretty sure its more than that. Even shopping at Costco the rise in food prices, especially in real food as opposed to flour and sugar combinations, is very, very much more than it was before the ‘Carbon tax’.

2. It is time to add another symbol to the sexual deviance flag for those attracted to powerful automobiles.

3. This is. interesting. “This is the first time since the War Committee since 1942 when we had politicians coming together to deal with these sensitive issues”

https://Twitter.com/govt_corrupt/status/1800933049439285667?t=ijFB3YxVsKOyNc0lo4mAzQ&s=19

Here’s why one may be suspicious of the whole shebang about foreign interference with the government and institutions in Canada. The following video has been public since 2022.

If the head of the WEF, an organization that seems to have leaders who are heavily influenced by Lenin among other communists and anti-nationalists, admits openly that half the cabinet of the Trudeau gov’t operates under WEF, let’s say guidelines, but we mean control, then one may not be surprised if this whole report isn’t another dialectic to take down enemies of the revolution by tying Canadian patriots in with, I dunno, Russia maybe.

Or the preferred villain of the day. So prepare yourselves for the names and publication of this report and try not to be deflated if it doesn’t say what everyone freaking knows is true. China controls a significant portion of all of Canada’s political and other institutions. The WEF and UN along with other COMINTERN organizations are setting the course for Canadian policy that is not in the interests of Canada or Canadians, That’s what it won’t say. But I doubt at this point any bookie will take a bet against it somehow casting aspersions on Donald Trump, Russia, people opposed to Global Warming narratives or mRNA injection narratives. Transphobes, it may say, are the threat to Canada. Pierre Poilievre I bet is in league (I chose not to say in bed) with them.

I hope to be wrong but at this stage if one uses the template of: “No matter how cynical I get, I can’t keep up” as a guiding principle you can often predict the future without having to wrap your minds around dialectics.

4. Mark Steyn article about numerous additional heart attacks he has had and how people who explain it was caused by the Covid mRNA are treated. All this tied in to his OFCOM trial, which is the UK’s cencorship organization which punishes those who deviate from dialectical narrative attacks.

Please read it all at the source. No excerpt here can do it justice. But here is one of the embedded Tweets in the article.

Also, for those who get headaches from the word, “Dialectics” I think at this point I can venture to offer a solution. If we look at that word to mean, ‘A narrative which may or may not contain any truth at all intended to cause damage to a target’ it will work almost all of the time.

5. Douglas Murray really does an excellent job in debating, I think it’s that guy from The Young Turks if that’s still a thing.

Thank you all for reading this site.

This would be for tomorrow. Rumour has it, this will be large. Noon on Parliament Hill, June 15 2024

 

Islamic State terrorists busted in the US and Germany, Hunting Jewish people on the subway, Babylon Bee gambles on joke of logical extreme: Links post 1 for June 12, 2024

1. The 8 Muslim terrorists busted in the US and the curious reporting on it by the NY Post

The Broad strokes: Eight Muslim terrorists with Islamic State connections were arrested in the US. 7 in the New York Area and 1 on the West Coast in LA. These guys all entered the US illegally and had been fully vetted by DHS. (The same outfit that bulldozed the remnants of the exploding Muslim building in Minneapolis before any investigation could be done on the rubble. DHS claimed it was a gas leak. The gas companies invited journalists in to prove they didn’t have a leak in the area and that building didn’t get gas. I include this because it goes to DHS’s methods.) What is curious though is how in so many articles I have seen, they say the 8 originated in Russia. Which they did not. They came from Tajikistan, a separate country near Russia that is 96.4% Muslim. Personally I find it concerning that so many agencies including the NY Post claim they are from Russia. This would fit into Viktor Orbán’s belief that the West is “creating a mood for a wider war”.

FOX seems to get it about right here in their video.

Eight Tajikistan nationals with ties to ISIS were busted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in conjunction with the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) Joint Terrorism Task Force in three major cities, a federal source confirmed to Fox News.

The arrests took place in New York City, Los Angeles and Philadelphia in recent days, according to the source. 

All eight Tajikistan nationals crossed the U.S. southern border illegally, and according to a federal source familiar with the sting, no derogatory information was initially flagged with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) or with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) during processing.

Having worked for a few news related companies now, I can say first hand they are very, very concerned about details like that. It is impossible for me to believe that the NY Post made a mistake. Their post is dated the 11th, as is the FOX article. It may have been a bad source, but it was not a mistake.

2. It would be great if there was more to see where this video is terminated. Either way, anyone who writes this off as trivial should be the first in line for what they are clearly planning to do. Even if these mostly LARPers don’t fully grasp what they are part of, the people paying for it certainly do. And as one of them is the Hungarian legacy Nazi George Soros, that is indisputable.

3. Islamic State Terrorists Planned to Attack Liberal Berlin Mosque, Says Prosecutor

This ‘Imam’ of this ‘mosque’ is a rare bird indeed. A dialectic muslim.

Let me explain.

Some years ago, this site did a few articles about a woman who I think converted to Islam, declared herself to be an imam, and then opened a mosque for LGBTQ etc. This of course is a dialectic attack on Islam, and probably part of the plan by the left to deal with Muslims after they have used them to overthrow the West. To destroy it with ideas and words that are diametrically opposed to what Islam actually is until it just isn’t. Frankly they don’t have to be diametrically opposed. Any angle will do if it gets in the door. Like a female rabbi or priest. Then the degree of opposing ideas increases until the original philosophy is meaningless. It is very difficult to find a record of the following example, but at one point, and we did post about it on this site, Obama himself launched a “Study Koran” which was denuded of the more objectionable parts of the real Koran. It lasted about as long as a roll of toilet paper at a Pakistani restaurant. The Muslims rejected it out of hand. Meanwhile, at Ontario Catholic Schools:

At the time we all wondered the same thing. How long till she was killed or the mosque blown up. There have been incidents. But this article does give some clues:

A liberal, women-led Berlin mosque known as a haven for gay Muslims was a target for an Islamic State terror cell in Germany, prosecutors say as the group goes to court.

A group of seven immigrants arrested in 2023 across Germany and the Netherlands will soon see their day in court, and German prosecutors allege before their incarceration the men prepared to build bombs and researched targets including a liberal mosque, Jewish citizens, and a fair.

The men, who originated in Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan came to Germany from Ukraine as part of the refugee flow that immediately followed the Russian invasion in 2022. One of the group is alleged to have led an Islamic State terrorist cell in Kyiv, Ukraine, and some of the group are said to have already killed in Ukraine, including by beating. Members of the group have allegedly had contact with Islamic State figures elsewhere in the world who launched successful terror attacks, or who were arrested while in the planning phase.

Wierd. From Tajikistan you say! Where have we heard that before. Also connected to Russia somehow. Ok. Skipping ahead:

[…] The Ibn-Rushd-Goethe Mosque in Berlin reportedly targeted by the group was founded by Seyran Ates, a Muslim woman who has lived under 24-hour police protection for ten years, such is the threat to her life from fundamentalist Islam. The mosque is known for being one of the few where men and women can worship together, and where homosexuals are also welcomed.

 

OK then. SHE gets 24 hour police protection! But Michael Stürzenberger gets 6 months in jail for showing a genuine photo of a Nazi principle with the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and then stabbed in the face multiple times in front of a squad of cops for telling the TRUTH about Islam. See where we are all going? I don’t want to say but there is definitely inter-global warming there.

4. On the Bird Flu pandemic they seem to be planning to drop on us

5. There is a clear trend in trials, hearings and other legal and semi legal proceedings in Canada away from any kind of attempt to find the truth and instead, steer the longest and most awkward course towards a predetermined political outcome possible. This is been most definitely the case in the Helen Grus hearings. Personally I have not followed closely Tamara Lich or Chris barber’s trials but I would bet long odds the process is similar, and I have watched a number of the hearings for doctors at the CPSO and they are all identical in method and intention. Even occasionally in tactics. The Tweet below contains another Tweet from Donald Best. Read both. They are on a most curious omission by the police who did the Couts invetigation. It seems that none of them recorded anything. Not that they couldn’t, or that they don’t normally, they always do. Except in this case. Where it was easier, or perhaps preferable to just invent the evidence against rather than go through hundreds of hours of video and audio to get what they knew wouldn’t be there. Which might lead one to think they DID record, and then where told that they didn’t after all.

The RCMP decision to NOT use undercover recording devices at Coutts was, in my professional opinion, intended to facilitate manipulated and/or false evidence. Today every watch, mobile phone, pen, fitness device, earring, and button can be a secret recording device. Today when I’m undercover I carry MULTIPLE recording devices for redundancy and corroboration. I’ve never been discovered or jeopardized because someone noticed my recording devices. Today there is no excuse for an undercover officer to not record every minute of an operation – unless they want to present false and/or manipulated evidence. In the 1980s-1990s undercover police officers shaved their legs and strapped a 1.4 pound Nagra SN covert reel-to-reel recorder in their crotch with medical tape. The wired microphone ran under the clothes to the middle of the chest and was once again held in place by medical tape. In 1984 we lived in fear that the target would pat us down or send a good looking woman to grope us. There was no GPS location, no radio-wires. No backup. We were alone with murderers and gang members while wearing a paperback-sized chunk of aluminum technology strapped to our leg and a microphone taped to our chest. But we wore these recording devices to gather the best possible evidence – that could not be disputed, that could not be challenged for accuracy or bias. Here is a photo of a covert Nagra SN voice recorder of the type we wore in 1984 – and my current undercover video camera fitness watch that I purchased six years ago in 2018. Third is video that I took with my wrist-cam during an actual undercover operation in 2018. Today there is no excuse for an undercover officer to not record every minute of an operation – unless they want to present false and/or manipulated evidence. Journalist

recognized that this issue of no RCMP undercover recordings at Coutts is a huge red flag.

Lime Scooters Will Now Shut Down If Driven Over Pride Flag Crosswalk In Spokane, WA

The EU, Biden wins dance contest and a metric for the state of a republic type of govt in North America: Links 1 for June 11, 2024

1. Ok so I don’t really know how the EU works. There appears to be 2 branches sorta. The European Parliament, which has some minimal degree of transparency, and the European Commission. Which doesn’t. The Commission seems to make the decisions and its members are not elected exactly. Its website says: The Commission’s work is steered by a College of Commissioners, and led by its President. 

That doesn’t quite sound like a body of legislators who are elected by people they represent exactly. But then in Canada we have a system where the Chinese pick who represents us so I guess fair enough. During the BREXIT debates we posted some astonishing videos posted by actual elected members of the European Parliament showing how opaque the Commission is, and in fact the EU overall. Elected members of the EU Parliament cannot even get into the library of legislation there with any kind of recording equipment at all. And they may not report on the contents they see, if they manage to get inside. This was ‘leaked’ by. an Irish MEP if memory serves. Perhaps one day I can find that video and repost it. The substack connected to this site is dedicated to older videos that people may wish to be reminded of, and which have as much or more importance today. Our little attempt to fight back against Google and other’s Winston Smithing of our history.

For those who wish to understand the EU, the best source would be Vladimir Bukovsky. A Soviet escapee who went the UK, exposed the EU as the communist project it is, and suddenly child porn was found on his computer and he went to jail for it in the UK. Not sure how close his cell was to Julian Assange before anyone asks. Diana West wrote extensively on Bukovsky and the EU although I don’t know if her website is still accessible.

All this is preface to this news Item:

Antifa Activist Accused of Hammer Attack Elected to EU Parliament

A radical Italian Antifa activist accused of attacking people with a hammer in Budapest has been elected to the European Parliament, potentially paving the way for her to be freed from custody in Hungary.

Ilaria Salis, a 39-year-old schoolteacher and “anti-fascist” activist currently under house arrest in Hungary, has won a seat in the EU parliament on behalf of the Green-Left Alliance (AVS) in Italy, ANSA reports.

Salis has been accused of being part of a leftist group of mostly Germans who allegedly attacked a group of supposed “neo-Nazis” on February 11th in 2023 as they honoured the Nazi Waffen SS soldiers and Hungarian allied troops who fought the Red Army during the Siege of Budapest by the Soviets during World War II.

We reported on this attack when it happened. German ‘ANTIFA’ people went to Hungary to attack a meeting of people not of the left. Finding things is difficult on this site’s history, even for me. But it’s there somewhere. In any case, the sweep of the non-left in the EU elections this week may not mean as much as we hoped. But hopefully it revitalizes people with classical values to know they are not alone but actually still a majority, and might then wish to take effective action to take back their captured institutions.

2. Who is the best dancer in the front row would you say?

(The headline of this post is a joke, but it could also be seen as a dialectic of our own. He won the dance contest the way Global Warming is a thing and the vaxx is safe and effective and Islam is the Religion of Peace and….)

3. The dialectical chants of the Leftist Islamic coalition against Western civ grow to global warming proportions. We could argue aganst the claim that Gaza is a concentration camp. After all if it was, it has been run by Hamas for a long time now. But this has always been about the efects of the lies. Not about determining the truth. Information warfare means not using language for communication but as a weapon.

4. The following article is by Veteran Journalist, Terry Glavin. This is a dive into the foreign influence scandal in Canada.

A small excerpt:

[…] Forgive me if I give the impression that I’m rolling my eyes at certain Press Gallery institutions that have never been remotely interested in the subject of our government’s unseemly foreign liaisons: They are now feigning outrage and asking: By jove, who are the scoundrels pimping themselves out to skeezy foreign actors for quid-pro-quo election advantage?

They’ve been right in front of you, all along. They’ve been at it for years, from Prime Minister Trudeau himself on down. Even now, while everybody’s pulling their hair out and throwing around the treason word in headlines about what some MPs mave have done in the dark, out in the open Ottawa continues to undermine our allies to Beijing’s advantage.

The United States, our most important ally and trading partner, has imposed a 100 percent tariff on Chinese electrical vehicles. Canada’s tariff on Chinese EVs is a paltry six per cent, and Ottawa will even give you money to buy one.

What you should know by now

Here’s my piece from the front page of the National Post: It isn’t ‘foreign interference’ if the culprits are willing MPs. It’s about the thing everybody is shouting about at the moment: the latest report from the National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians (NSICOP). […]

During lockdowns I think it was, there was late night parliamentary debates on the fact that Trudeau had been asked by the speaker of the house to provide documents on the Chinese spies escorted by the RCMP out of the level 4 bio lab in Winnipeg. Although what a level 4 bio lab is doing in a city is a worthy question all by itself. Trudeau refused to supply, sued Parliament, itself an unprecedented thing, then called an election, probably to get rid of the speaker. The speaker at that time should probably be grateful that this is how he was disposed of, although we have not heard a report on his health recently.

Years earlier, the head of CSIS was on record in Parliament and on CBC before it became the Voice of the COMINTERN explaining that the Canadian government and Parliament was heavily under hostile foreign influence. Although he didn’t say which foreign entity. It was China.

So we have a lot of heavy videos which are very clear on the subject. It doesn’t take a military analyst to get the strong and clear impression that the Prime Minister is working against Canada and with the Chinese Government. Here is a video from 2023

5. We have for sure posted this video before. But it gets better with age. This exposure of Fauci as an anti-science authoritarian ready to destroy a world to establish his own authority is exceptional.

Let’s compare what Trudeau and Freeland did and continues to do, Fauci and the CDC NIH scientismists who pushed the vaxx on pregnant women among others and loads more who caused the deaths of so many with the various Covid restriction and medications, experimental and otherwise like Medazolam, with what President Trump was actually convicted of. And there is your state of the Republic. No metric could be better than that. Not even the dancing Biden in item 2.

Canada, Cuba, China, Communism: Links 1 for June 7, 2024

CAUTION: Some of these items contain a mildly toxic level of sarcasm 

1. The Canadian Parliament has gone into a new act. In this episode, the main protagonists pretend that they represent the interests of Canadians while neither of them get close to letting Canadians know who the foreign agents are within the Canadian govt. If you read the program, which is available from anywhere except the playwrights, we learn that the foreign agents are likely working with foreign and hostile powers to Canada such as communist China, and very likely a foreign power that was a nuisance before, but we are turning into a full blown military enemy now, Russia.

2. I dunno about you, but the first thing I always do when I break into a foreign country illegally and get all kinds of perks and benefits for doing so, is to buy a huge banner and march against the state aparatus. I mean who wouldn’t! Right? Anyone would. Right?

3. Apparently McGill decided taking over the Dean’s office was a bridge too far and called in the riot squad. Personally I would call this political telemetry. Now the COMINTERN/IKWAN know what they can get away with. Take over the grounds, block all Jewish people, get supplies and all, but take over the dean’s office and then you get ousted.

Police spray tear gas, break up pro-Palestinian occupation of McGill building

Montreal riot squad officers had entered the building by about 7 p.m., ending the occupation.

A group of pro-Palestinian protesters occupied a McGill University administration building for several hours Thursday afternoon and into the late evening over what they said was the university’s failure to comply with the demands of the ongoing encampment at the school’s downtown campus.

The occupation began shortly after 4 p.m. when masked protesters entered the James Administration Building, just north of the Milton St. entrance to the main campus. For several hours before police stormed the building through a separate entrance, protesters chanted and banged on drums while police in riot gear formed lines on either side of the building.

4. Russian Warships Will Be Deployed to Caribbean Next Week, Cuba Announces

(I’m sure this won’t be a problem. I mean, Russian Nuclear ships at Cuba? What could go wrong? By now they have better radar than they did at the Gulf of Ton-Kin. Am I right?)

Russian warships will be deployed to the Caribbean Sea next week, the Cuban foreign ministry confirmed on June 6.

The four Russian navy ships do not carry any nuclear weapons and will not present a threat to the region, Cuba’s foreign ministry said in a statement, confirming reports that cited unnamed U.S. officials.

“This visit corresponds to the historical friendly relations between Cuba and the Russian Federation and strictly adheres to the international regulations,” the communist country’s statement said, according to a translation. “None of the ships carry nuclear weapons, so their stopover in our country does not represent a threat to the region.”

The ministry’s statement added that Russian sailors will visit various Cuban government officials and places of “historical and cultural interest” and undertake other “activities.”

(Phew no worries then. Communists never lie)

5. OK so what is all this stuff about Foreign influence in the Canadian gov’t? It’s just a few Liberal MPs stepping out for discounted Chinese food. Right?

Small correction. We are way past an existential threat. We are witnessing the end of the existence of Canada due to a threat the rest of us knew about, and the Liberals and anti-state created, decades ago. Also we need to dispose of ‘democracy’ frankly. We need a constitutional republic that ultimately relies on an armed citizenry to backstop a government that gets out of control. At this point we all know how Trudeau, Merkel, Biden and Obama and so on use the word, “democracy”. They use it like Lenin did. Paraphrasing, ‘the only form of government that represents all the people is a communist one. Therefore, communism is the only true system of government.’. You can hear this phrase every time one of these leaders, and frankly a lot more in the captured West, use the word.

Thank you all for reading this site.

But we felt it was about more than money. Money is the leash. The goal is set by the dog walker.

Vaxx protests and the purpose of the mass immigration: Links 1 for June 6, 2024

1. So. If we are right or even in the 50 ring in terms of the purpose of mass immigration to the US (and Canada) being to replace patriotic and cultural Americans with people who have zero connection historically, culturally or otherwise to America’s past, founding principles, culture and spirit of individualism and rights given by God, then how would that replacement look? Well… it seems that recently it became publicly obvious that Obama is in fact running the show and has been from the time the Democrats stole the 2020 election from the voting public of the United States.

Well…

Remember when Obama first ran and promised the United States this?

Obama’s “Civilian National Security Force”

Four years ago this month — on July 2nd, 2008 — Obama delivered a speech in Boulder, Colorado in which he promised the creation and establishment of a “Civilian National Security Force.”

He further promised it would be “just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded as the US Military.”

It is well known amongst dictators, the world over, that a private army is necessary to control the great unwashed masses over which they force their rule. We have seen Obama steadily assume dictatorial powers over apathetic Americans in just three and a half years.

He has all but hushed the people’s voice in government, the US Congress, by simply by-passing them and ruling by executive order — just like any other two-bit dictator. Some feel even the US Supreme Court has lost the steel from its collective spine under withering pressure from our budding domestic dictator,

Obama. If one did not know better, one would think there is a move afoot to institute a complete Marxist insurgency in America with Obama at the top — and — at the leading edge.
“The things done in every Marxist insurgency are being done in America today.” … Retired Lt. General William G.”Jerry” Boykin says in a new video he has just released . Boykin is a decorated former Delta Force Commander, US Deputy Under Secretary for Defense, and a recipient of the Purple Heart. General Boykin is troubled by Obama’s promise of a “Civilian National Security Force.”

It is a geopolitical constant that if you want to take over your own population and transform it away from its own identity, you use foreign forces to do it. Stephen Coughlin hinted that it was Ukrainian forces that brutalized the Freedom Convoy in Ottawa in 2022, and since then, I have heard rumours that others from Eastern Europe who where there, heard these curious anonymized ‘police’ speaking Ukrainian. But back to the point, it seems like this might explain the importation of overwhelmingly men from macho countries to the US. It seems that not only did they not have to take the Vaxx, but their masculinity is not so toxic for some reason.

So… these guys?

 

2. What a shame that Poilievre can’t seem to bring himself to mention the mass immigration and consequent population replacement that even he himself details in this speech. Well the part about productive Canadians and immigrants leaving at least.

3. May or may not have posted this already. There is no joy, schadenfreude or otherwise in this admission of what all of us here already knew, arguably from DAY ONE of the Pandemic, since we posted that the only way to know anything was by total surplus death numbers. But it has to be known if for no other reason, since nearly no one is taking the mRNA anymore, and the ones who do, are addicted to the drama of it all, and are probably still wearing masks alone in their cars on the open highway. But maybe it will help just a few people to recognize how the government media complex are manipulating us all to nothing good for any of us.

4. We have been saying for months now, that the protests against Israel are more communist than even Islamic. That this is about the destruction of Western Civilization, and can be seen and heard in the signs and chants. But it was still somewhat initiate language, as Stephen Coughlin would say. But some of the leaders of the occupiers of University campuses are starting to explain it in much more common parlance. It may help to know that what they mean by “colonialism” is Western Civilization. Because their logic is, everywhere the descendants of those who use Greek thought and Roman organizational principles live, have displaced some other system. Their solution is to destroy every single bit of it and replace it with Leninist Maoist communism. So the language is still a little hidden, but you can tell it has pivoted away from Israel in these clips.

Stanford:

5. Jordan Peterson mentions the obvious in terms of the FBI and election rigging. Something all of us knew since it was explained on Tucker Carlson by the man who gave the hard drive/Laptop to the FBI who then denied they had it, claimed it was “Russian Disinformation” and waited till well after the election of Obama Joe Biden to admit quietly that yeah, it was real and they have it. Feeling powerless and helpless yet?

This is the “election interference” that the MAGA types were attempting entirely appropriately to highlight

A crime and pattern of fascist collusion far worse than anything

@realDonaldTrump

for all his faults real and imagined ever committed

The suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop story is the most serious American political scandal of my lifetime

Inexcusable and

@thedemocrats

have taken zero responsibility for this

It was a mess of lies abetted by the intelligence “community” (hated word), the

@WhiteHouse

@POTUS

@FBI

and the main social media agencies pressured into compliance

Undoubtedly tilted the 2020 election in favor of

@JoeBiden

Heads are still very much likely to roll for this

And that’s one reason (but only one if many) that the corrupt powers that be are terrified of

@realDonaldTrump

Gotta agree with Dr. Peterson about the “hated word” “community”. They use that as a dialectic as well. As if all people with sexual appetites other than heterosexual are somehow all good friends and agree on everything and are one community. Maybe if you juggle the letters around and an an S and lose the Y or something.

Thank you all for checking out this site and its views. Since we got delisted by Google, we have fewer eyeballs. But this site was never about fame or raising money.

America’s war with Russia and the communist Revolution in North America: creating a hypothesis out of connected dots that probably mean nothing at all

In the past few days, we have posted a couple of videos of Viktor Orbán, warning about NATO setting the stage for a larger and unnecessary war, which will certainly be destructive for all of us in many ways. The interview we posted was from last week, but Gates of Vienna has posted a newer one on the same theme from this past Friday. We also posted a speech Orbán gave to a  live audience on the same theme. The theme being, the curious insistence of war with Russia by NATO.

Before I continue, a quick definition.

A hypothesis is just an idea someone may have. Could be from connecting dots in evidence, or even the unconscious collation of data in one’s own brain which leads to an insight or idea. It could turn out to be a world changer, or a steaming pile of BS. I’m really hoping this one is the latter.

Let’s put in a few more dots:

BREAKING: Ukraine Strikes Russia With Western Weapons.. -NY TIMES

Here we go!

Just shortly following the Biden administration’s authorization for Ukraine to employ American weaponry against Russia, Kyiv swiftly acted on this newfound liberty by targeting a military installation across the border, utilizing a U.S.-manufactured artillery system, as indicated by a member of Ukraine’s Parliament.

Yehor Chernev, the deputy chairman of the Ukrainian Parliament’s committee on national security, defense, and intelligence, disclosed on Tuesday that Ukrainian forces had successfully neutralized Russian missile launchers with a strike in the Belgorod region, approximately 20 miles into Russian territory. T

he operation employed a High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS), he affirmed.

This marks the inaugural instance of a Ukrainian official openly acknowledging the use of American weaponry to engage targets within Russia subsequent to President Biden’s rescindment of the prohibition on such actions.

OK so that’s pretty in tight with what Orbán was saying. From the theoretical right to the factual.

I dunno who this is. Is this anybody? Still, it doesn’t seem that unlikely that if you corner a bobcat and attack it, it will strike at you with all it has even if you have a small army of bears behind you. Dead is dead. May as well go down fighting, from anyone’s perspective. No? If anyone knows who this Russian alleged diplomat is, please leave a comment. It matters of course, who it actually is.

Macgregor again:

BREAKING: NATO now planning to get US troops to the front-line to fight RUSSIA..

What are they thinking?

NATO has disclosed its preparations to deploy American troops to the European frontlines in the event of a full-scale conflict with Russia.

Innovative ‘land corridors’ are being established to expedite the movement of soldiers through central Europe, bypassing local bureaucratic hurdles.

This strategic setup enables NATO forces to swiftly react should Putin’s aggressive actions in Ukraine extend westward.

Reports suggest that these plans also encompass provisions for potential Russian attacks.

In such scenarios, troops could mobilize through corridors in Italy, Greece, and Turkey to reach the Balkans, or alternatively, advance towards Russia’s northern border via Scandinavia.

These details were shared by officials with The Telegraph.

?BREAKING: NATO READIES 300,000 TROOPS FOR EUROPEAN DEFENSE AGAINST RUSSIA

NATO is preparing for a potential conflict with Russia by developing ‘land corridors’ to quickly deploy 300,000 US troops to the European frontlines.

Troops would land at key ports, including Rotterdam, and move east via pre-planned routes to counter any potential Russian attack.

Lt. Gen. Alexander Sollfrank:

“Huge logistics bases, as we know them from Afghanistan and Iraq, are no longer possible because they will be attacked and destroyed very early on in a conflict situation.”

These corridors would utilize ports in the Netherlands, Italy, Greece, Turkey, and Norway, as well as the Germany-Poland railway.

With escalating warnings of a Russian assault, this strategic move ensures rapid military reinforcement to defend any threatened NATO territory.

OK so now this:

Biden prepares an order that would shut down asylum if a daily average of 2,500 migrants arrive

President Joe Biden on Tuesday unveiled plans to enact immediate significant restrictions on migrants seeking asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border as the White House tries to neutralize immigration as a political liability ahead of the November elections.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House is telling lawmakers that President Joe Biden is preparing to sign off on an executive order that would shut down asylum requests at the U.S.-Mexico border once the average number of daily encounters hits 2,500 between ports of entry, with the border reopening only once that number declines to 1,500, according to several people familiar with the discussions.

The impact of the 2,500 figure means that the executive order could go into immediate effect because daily figures are higher than that now.

The Democratic president is expected to unveil the actions — his most aggressive unilateral move yet to control the numbers at the border — at the White House on Tuesday at an event to which border mayors have been invited.

Ok first of all, this article is written in political language. What did Orwell say about that?

“Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.”

So if I dare translate from politics to reality, what we get out of that AP News item is:

‘Biden deliberately let in all these people with zero connection to America’s libertarian culture, past and values. We can know this because for some reason now, he is stopping’. (Yes, for Biden you can read Obama, and for Obama you can read COMINTERN)

Even Bill Mahar figured that much out

Here is the hypothesis:

If the question is:

‘How do you take a nation down from an individualist, true-liberal or libertarian nation and make it into a communist-authoritarian one when the public is armed and has a 2nd amendment to the Constitution which most people understand, and understand why it is there?’

The answer might be:

Well you bring in millions of replacements for the actual Americans, and send the Americans to get killed by Russia. And if you beat Russia, bonus, and if you don’t you send them a nice thank you note for assisting in your own revolution.

Just an idle thought. Pretty sure I am totally full of it here. But this is a blog and that means writing down a few thoughts when they may help save a few lives or reenforce and important principle of Western Civilization. We called it right on the vaxx, Islamic immigration, communism and other more local events. Hopefully wrong on this one.

But one thing is for sure. One of the reasons we lose all the time is we don’t think big enough. Our enemies think ion a massive scale. All the time.
