Wallace the Wanker

Timothy Birdnow

I caught Fox News Sunday this morning. I had stopped watching all mainstream news because it was bad for my blood pressure, but they advertised an interview with Gov. Abbott of Texas so I endured that smug poppinjay Chris Wallace and watched.

Not a whole lot to say except that Wallace was his usual biased self, interrupting and cutting Abbott off when the conversation took a turn for the worse from Wallace's perspective.

One point I wanted to mention; Wallace became quite angry with Abbott when they were discussing voter law changes.

Abbott said they actually expanded vote times and access in Texas and Wallace attacked him on the county that Houston resides within.

Abbott started by saying this county was in violation of Texas law with their rules and the braying jackass Wallace jumped in, trying to cut him off at the knees. He acted as if that didn't matter a bit; the rule of law is inconsequential to Democrats, apparently.

He also tried to stop Abbott from explaining that drive-through voting is a violation of anti-campaigning laws at the polls and could be used to force people to vote against their wishes. Wallace had zero problem with that and made it clear.

If THIS is the network championing fair and balanced journalism, we are doomed.

He Who has Little will Lose the Little He has

Timothy Birdnow

Sound familiar?

"In the end, more than they wanted freedom, they wanted security and they wanted a comfortable life. And they lost it all – security, comfort and freedom. The Athenians finally wanted not to give to society, but for society to give to them. When the freedom they wished for most was freedom from responsibility, then Athens ceased to be free.”

Chinese Cold War

Timothy Birdnow

For decades the Chinese military has said war with the U.S. is inevitable, yet America has continued to promote cheap Chinese products and continued to give foreign aid while allowing China to buy American debt. Our leaders have grown rich and fat off the money they have skimmed from fornicating with their Chinese lovers.

We've been in an asymmetric cold war.

It could well turn hot though.

Georgia Election WAS Stolen

Timothy Birdnow

Well what do you know? Turns out that Georgia was stolen after all - or at least that the election was not done according to law.

See this:

Investigations into the outcome of the November 2020 Presidential election in Georgia continue on several fronts. But Margot Cleveland, writing for The Federalist, has a new storyout on Friday which does not rely on any grand conspiracy to hijack the Georgia absentee vote-by-mail system by flooding it with tens of thousands of fraudulent votes cast for Joe Biden.

The evidence marshaled by Cleveland in her story has been available to Georgia authorities since shortly after the election, was called to their attention by an election analyst, and was included in allegations made by the Trump Campaign in the one genuine election contest lawsuit it filed in Georgia state court.

The allegations are straightforward, as was the evidence had the Georgia Secretary of State chosen to investigate the claims as it was obligated to do.

The margin of victory certified for Joe Biden was 12,760 votes.

[...]

If a Georgia voter has moved more than 30 days in advance of the election, the voter is only eligible to vote in the County where he/she has moved to and must register at that new address. The voter is no longer eligible to vote in the County he/she departed.

[...]

It is not necessary under Georgia law for the candidate contesting the election to show which candidate received the benefit of the illegal votes. It is only necessary to show that the number of illegal votes cast and counted exceeded the margin of victory in the race.

[...]

But Davis’ latest analysis, covered by Cleveland in her story, now rules out such "temporary” relocations.

After receiving updated voter registration data in May, Davis began cross-referencing the Postal Service "Change of Address” registrations with new voter registration data. His analysis shows that 10,300 of the 35,000 "suspect” voters in 2020 have now changed their voter registration address to match the "Change of Address” filing with USPS, thereby validating the claim that their move prior to the 2020 election was not "temporary”. As such, they were not eligible to cast absentee ballots in the November 2020 election based on their prior registered address. The absentee ballots they cast using their prior registered addresses were illegal and should not have been included in the certified result.

The 10,300 illegal votes do not exceed the 12,760 vote margin of victory – yet. As Davis told Cleveland during her interview of him, "suspect” voters changing their voter registration information is an ongoing process with more changes being received daily. Approximately 25,000 "suspect” voters remain with voter registration data unchanged, but changes become more frequent in advance of elections.

According to Cleveland’s story, Davis provided this updated data to the Georgia Secretary of State’s Office in May, and that office quietly opened an investigation into possible illegal voting by individuals who had relocated without changing their voter registration information. Initially, investigators suggested that Davis’ data might be compromised by different individuals with the same or similar sounding names.

Davis shot that down by noting that each Georgia voter has an eight-digit identification number, and the new registered voting address for the identified Georgia voter matched the address on the "Change of Address” form filed with the USPS. The Georgia Secretary of State refused to respond to Cleveland’s request for an interview on the subject.

The implications are now clear: A large number of Georgia voters cast ballots after having moved from one county more than 30 days prior to the election. A significant number of those same voters have since re-registered as voters at their new home addresses, which match the addresses given to the USPS more than 30 days ahead of the November 2020 election. This validates that their move more than 30 days ahead of the election was not "temporary”, and they cast votes illegally under Georgia law.

And of course if these are the ones we can find, we know there are more that we can't find.

The Republican Secretary of State in Georgia clearly didn't do his job - and most likely because he was a Nevertrumper who couldn't abide the idea of Trump winning.

This was the dirties election in U.S. history (outside of Chicago).

The article continues:

The obligation to investigate illegal voting by ineligible voters rests with the Georgia Secretary of State.

The evidence the Trump Campaign needed to contest the outcome of the election was in the possession of the Georgia Secretary of State.

The lawsuit filed by the Trump Campaign was the only avenue it had to access the evidence within the control of the Georgia election officials. The Complaint alleged that there were approximately 40,000 people who cast votes after moving from their registered address to a different county. That allegation was made one month after the election. Davis’ data analysis pinned that number down to 35,000, and now 10,300 have verified it by re-registering at their new address.

But the Georgia Secretary of State opposed the lawsuit and denied the accuracy of the allegations — without conducting an investigation using the data that only it possessed.

[...]

Further, what the Georgia Secretary of State knew to be true was that IF he pursued the investigation, and IF it turned out that 13,000 or more votes had been cast by voters who had moved and not re-registered, the outcome of the election based on the electronic count could not be certified, and under Georgia law the remedy specified was a new election.

The scumbag in question is Brad Raffensberger. Remember his name; he was a Judas, a traitor.

Sleeping Generation Z

Timothy Birdnow

Young people have been so sheltered they don't even understand how we could live before computers, the internet, and cell phones.

Here is a case in point.

From the article:

In a Facebook post that has quickly gone viral with over 13,000 shares so far, Barbara Noble Sobel shares screenshots of texts shared between a college-aged son and his mother.

The name of the poor, unenlightened gentleman has been blacked out in an effort to protect his innocence and his identity. The young man is desperately trying to understand how the world even functioned before email, because, like, O-M-G. And I’m laughing so hard right now.
The post begins with our college student begging the question:

"How did any of college work before email? Like what did you do? If a class were cancelled, or there was a mistake on the homework"

Oh poppet. I know, this can be difficult to understand, but his mom tries to explain it to him as simply as possible.

"Lol- you had to walk over to the room and there would be a note on the door"

But he still wasn’t quite getting it. Aw, bless. His response?

"What if it was at 8 am? You’d still have to wake up early and walk all the way in?"

I know, walking. The horror. And still having to get up so ridiculously early? At 8 am, I mean, who does that? Just you wait my little Padawan. Some day, in the not so distant future, you will relish the day you can SLEEP IN until 8 am.
But the conversation doesn’t end there. He goes on to question how you would find out about, well, ANYTHING? Important things, like what ensembles he’s in or what jobs he has to do for the math department.
His mother responds with:

"You had to write stuff down. And it was posted on bulletin boards"

And this, my friends, is where it really gets good. Because bulletin boards? What are these boards you speak of? He doesn’t even know what it is.

Amazing, isn't it! But then this kid is probably pretty normal and just wasn't exposed to life before such things. He could never function if all this tech ever disappears. Like a hothouse orchid, he will wither and die.

The article continues:

His mom then offers up that she got her first job from an index card posted on a bulletin board outside of the math building.

Which, in turn, led them down another rabbit hole of questions. How would you respond to a post on a bulletin board? What if you needed more details? Where’s the link?His mother has an answer for that:

"You had to call a phone number. That was it. And ask questions once you get there."

What? Call a number?

I would LOVE to see what he would have thought about the pre-telephone era!

Back to the article:

College boy responds:

I got a job after receiving and responding to one (1) email, I can’t imagine having to interact with someone for it.

Oh boy.

Commenters on the post are having a field day:

Oh my- doesn’t know what a bulletin board is???? Pardon me while I go rinse off my triceratops…

Omg you had to walk and talk to people. So archaic

These are kids who would looking at floppy disk and say "oh, someone 3d printed "save” button”

And reminiscing about the "dark” days:

Research by Microfiche, anyone?!?

That’s too funny. ??. And we had get up to answer the phone, use a camera with film and wait until the roll was done and wait again for it to get developed, to see the pics and you had to ask a stranger to your pic. No selfies. The struggle was real ??

And let’s not forget that the class notes could only be downloaded by copying what the prof wrote on the board using a writing utensil that disintegrated as it was used. None of this wimpy powerpoint stuff!

???classic. And this doesn’t even touch the whole registering for classes thing going table to table

Yikes!

People can and are mean and it's not this kid's fault he doesn't know anything beyond the world in which he lived. But it is funny to see him so baffled by all of this.

The article continues:

It’s true. This generation of college students will never know the hardship of waiting foreverfor internet dial-up.

Or typing their essays up on a typewriter and using White-Out to make corrections. They will use Google instead of Encyclopedia Britannica and laptops instead of pen and paper.

They won’t know the pain of having to wait to watch their favorite television shows until it was broadcast on the 13 available cable channels.

They will never experience the racing heart as they attempt to press record and stop on the tape recorder at precisely the right moment during American Top 40 with Casey Kasem.

But they will know other hardships. They will know the loneliness that comes with a generation whose main communication is through a screen, and not in person.

They will face the pressure and ridiculous expectations set by unrealistic standards on social media. They will struggle with finding their worth outside of the number of likes they receive on Facebook and Instagram.

That is true and it is real. Kids these days are isolated and under intense pressure because this is their only connection to reality. Computers have made them capable of believing anything because they have no one else - or no other source - to measure their opinions against. Whoever controls the flow of information online controls these kids minds.

And it also makes them angry and resentful.

Maleducated

This from Joe Auriemma:

My Friends & Fellow AMERICANS.
LEt's CLEAR SOmething up quickly.
Teachers are not Rhodes Scholars, or Scholars in particular areas, in fact not even experts in particular areas of Education or Current & world events. Those that continue into their Masters & Dr. programs, may become experts in their particular subject, Maybe expert maybe? That paper only implies they were willing to do the dance, put the work out there for their grades & at the end Hang a Cetificate of Acknowledge on the wall in their office. This does not mean they have the answers to our Cultural, Community, Social, Historic or Educational issues, only that they have put the time in & did the dance to get the grade, well done.
What have you done for us lately?
As a former teacher with a Masters's Degree in Student Personnel Guidance Counselor, my teaching experience in the classroom for 7 years has been in Black & Hispanic Communities & 2 years in a lower middle-class community. It is sad to see firsthand the neglect of education in the lower-income communities & the political nature of who gets assigned to what job or where they work.

There are a lot of good teachers working in the system, but they are overwhelmed with many obstacles, (the good ones), the others just go by & put their time in & collect their paychecks. Many teachers should be doing something else. Many are there because it was a backup to what they couldn't achieve or were too intimidated to pursue or they liked having summers off. This may be true of many workers in all careers, but these people are molding the emotions, intellect & academic consciences of the most important commodity the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA HAS, OUR CHILDREN. And the difference with other careers is after 3 years working in a business, corporate setting or blue-collar career you can get fired for below average or poor performance. Teachers K-12 & especially college teachers (professors) get tenure, a job for life after 3 years of basically good behavior. Not doing a good job, after 3 years of contracts you can't get fired.

Now I address the President of the Teachers Union, Randi Weingarten, who has minimal experience in the classroom & mostly with gifted or advanced students who can basically teach themselves. Make no mistake Weingarten is not looking out for our children, just covering here big fat administrative ass & keeping her power position.
She has no concept of what takes place in 98% of our classrooms across America, nor does she care.
Now Weingarten wants to shove Critical Race Theory into our Children's moldable minds & also promote this throughout the educational system, a Racist Theory at best @ worst divisiveness amongst, parents, friends, students, Communities & Poison & misinformation to our children & young adults.

The point of the post is to bring attention to the facts & truth of our educational system & in part how it is run or operates. We are failing our children & our country if we do not address the obvious situations. I will do my best to bring them into focus from my perspective, as a Teacher, Coach, Parent(Father) & committed American Citizen.

CRITICAL RACE THEORY IS INACCURATE, FRAUGHT WITH MANY MISCONCEPTIONS & LIES. 1776 IS OUR FOUNDING OF AMERICA, NOT 1619 for starters. Our country was built on the backs of all immigrants. Products of Tobacco, Molasses, Cotton

Here is some brief History;

* * Territorial evolution of the United States
The United States of America was created on July 4, 1776, with the Declaration of Independence of thirteen British colonies in North America. In the Lee Resolution of July 2, 1776, the colonies resolved that they were free and independent states.

* * On Sept. 9, 1776, the Continental Congress formally changed the name of their new nation to the "United States of America," rather than the "United Colonies," which was in regular use at the time.

* * The Louisiana Purchase was one of the largest land deals in history. In 1803, the United States paid approximately $15 million dollars to France for more than 800,000 square miles of land. This land deal was arguably the greatest achievement of Thomas Jefferson's presidency, but it also posed a major philosophical problem for Jefferson.​

* * Colonial American Exports
At the end of the Seven Years War, the British considered the West Indies the most valuable commercial asset of their empire in North America. By the early 1770s the value of the sugar, rum, and molasses Barbados, Jamaica, and Leeward Island colonies produced (about £4,000,000 worth) was greater than the value of exports shipped from all the mainland colonies combined (just over £3,000,000). Among the mainland colonies, the Chesapeake led in value of exports, primarily tobacco, grain, iron, and lumber, totalled just over £1,000,000. The rice, indigo, deerskins, naval stores, and grain exported from the Lower South colonies came to about £600,000. New England and the Middle Colonies exported a wide range of products including iron, wheat, livestock, whale oil, fish, and rum, worth about £500,000 annually. Newfoundland, Quebec, and Nova Scotia, recently acquired from the French, exported much less; the value of fish and furs was only about £200,000.



Tim adds:

Agreed Joe. And what do most teachers major in? Education or some other dubious field that is not really substantive.

Oh, and as Al Shanker, head of the American Federation of Teachers said; ‘When school children start paying union dues, that’s when I’ll start representing school children.’. There is sytemic corruption and bias built into the educational system.

China Poised to Neo-Colonize Afghanistan

Timothy Birdnow

China waits like a vulture to pick over the carcass of Afghanistan as soon as we leave.

From the article:

The Taliban regards China as a "friend” of Afghanistan and hopes to speak with Beijing about investing in reconstruction work "as soon as possible,” according to Suhail Shaheen, the group’s spokesman.

Suhail told This Week in Asia in an exclusive interview that the Taliban now controlled 85 percent of the country and that it would ensure the safety of Chinese investors and workers if they returned.

"We welcome them. If they have investments of course we ensure their safety. Their safety is very important for us,” Taliban spokesperson said by phone, reports South China Morning Post.

I guess the idiot Talibani haven't spoken to any Uyghurs; these slaves will probably be breaking rocks to build those roads in Afghanistan.

The article continues:

With its Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), China is poised to make an exclusive entry into post-US Afghanistan. According to reports, Kabul authorities are intensifying their engagement with China on an extension of the $62 billion China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), the BRI’s flagship project.

According to international media, the project involves the construction of highways, railways, and energy pipelines between Pakistan and China—to Afghanistan.

American troops left Afghanistan’s main and final US military base on Friday, and while the initial withdrawal date was set for September 11, security officials told a British newspaperthat the majority of troops would be out by July 4.

One of the specific projects on the table, according to another source privy to conversations between Beijing and Kabul, is the construction of a China-backed major road between Afghanistan and Pakistan’snorthwestern city of Peshawar, which is already linked with the CPEC route. "There is a discussion on a Peshawar-Kabul motorway between the authorities in Kabul and Beijing,” the source told The Daily Beast on condition of anonymity. "Linking Kabul with Peshawar by road means Afghanistan’s formal joining of CPEC.”

Another thing we can thank Joe Biden for in the coming months.

Only a Democrat

Warner Todd Huston

Only a Democrat could tear down a Confederate statue because of slavery from 160 years ago while holding an iPhone and wearing gym shoes made by slave labor today.

Tim adds:

Indeed! And they ignore slavery in Africa. And they ignore sexual slavery even in the U.S. (shoot; half of 'em were flying the friendly skies of Air Epstein.) But there can be no forgiveness ever for the descendants of those who held slaves over a century and a half ago. And for the descendants of those who didn't but came from the same continent as those who did.

China's Purchase of Academia

This from Steven Chase:

I may have inadvertently stumbled onto a HUGE issue:
ACADEMIA is awash in Chinese Cash. It's time for Administrators to come clean and investigate. Over 100 Million dollars to just one University!
When you pair the vast sums of money with the timing of Joe’s election campaign, it’s pretty clear that the Chinese money was all about access to the Oval Office and insuring Biden's victory.

Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement (University of Pennsylvania)
FACT CHECK THIS:
Biden's non-profit think tank got over $72,274,675.00 DIRECTLY from China, and another $22,000,000.00 from 'unnamed' Chinese sources.

Over 100 Million dollars to just ONE institution; is it any wonder our youth are misguided? Marxism 101.

Bought and Paid For

Timothy Birdnow

Peter Schweizer does what he does best!

From his article at the Gladstone Institute:

* The simple fact is that there are large, powerful donors to the Biden campaign that have big financial stakes in these green energy companies. It is a wealth transfer to Biden's biggest bundlers, and that is a huge and massive problem.
* For those companies with inside connections to the Biden campaign, it is American taxpayer money that is truly "shovel-ready."
* Former congressmen and senators, and former US ambassadors are being paid large sums of money by governments such as China, or by firms directly linked to those governments, which do not have America's best interest at heart. They are lobbying in Washington to get their paymasters' voices heard.
* If you invest a couple of million dollars, let us say, in lobbying, or you invest a couple of million dollars in campaign contributions, often you can get benefits that are worth ten times that.
* For Wall Street and Silicon Valley, the prospect of doing deals in China is mesmerizing. To do those deals in China, as they have learned, you must play nice with the regime, speak well of them, feather their nests.... It is no less tempting for American politicians....

Of greatest concern are the deals that actually advance Chinese state interests.
* There is no other way to state this. The only way we can correct this situation is by exposing these people and showing U.S. citizens exactly what they are doing in our society.

Money makes the world go 'round, as Sally Bowls proclaims in Cabaret. She's right. And now the Chinese Communist Party has pretty much bought our own government. We are now a franchise of the Glorious Communist Revolution in the Middle Kingdom.

No wonder we're having our own Cultural Revolution in this country.

Climate Change - IPCC Outdated Conclusions

David Redfern:

With thanks to Carl R Franklin

Why are the climate change IPCC reports always outdated with grossly high (alarmist) predictions?

There are two primary reasons:

First, the U.N. IPCC (Intergovernmen tal Panel on Climate Change) was formed mostly from the UN Environmental Panel (made up mostly of environmental activists) putting the Fox in change of the Hen House. Bias has always been their modus operandi.

Second, the IPCC issues a report every 6 years on average. But the IPCC decides what "numbers” to defend about 2 years before the cycle starts; then spends 6 years researching and writing their report.

This is necessary since each of the hundreds of authors/ contributors need to use the same basis for consistency throughout the 1,500-2,000 page report. But the "consensus” numbers have always dropped considerably over the 8 year time-frame, so IPCC reports always end up defending 8 year old climate change numbers which are now considered "alarmist” by most scientists.

Climate warming projections have fallen steadily from the anticipated 15°C temperature rise and run-away global warming in the 1970’s to, within a few years, < 1°C within 100 years if atmospheric CO2 concentrations double, based on the latest research correcting for errors in the 70 year old derivations of Greenhouse Gas Theory formula.

Similarly, Sea Level Rise predictions have fallen within a few short years from 30 to 50 feet in the 1970’s, to about 12 inches over the coming 100 years based on the best current satellite data.

12 inches of Sea Level Rise over 100 years is only about 1 inch greater than what’s been happening for thousands of years – so man is theoretically responsible for 1 inch in 100 years. In Geological terms this would go entirely unnoticed.

To put this in perspective, only 0.2% of Florida is < 12 inches above sea level and almost all of this is in the uninhabitable Everglades swamp. So, 100 years from now no one but the Alligators will notice 12 inches of Sea Level Rise and, perhaps, 11 inches would happen without mankind.

The trend away from climate alarmism has been astounding and current predictions have become almost trivial.

The alarmists have lost the "WOW” factor.

The current situation is, the IPCC met with the delegates/ authors selected to write the report coming out in 2022, in 2014.

In 2014 they decided the "consensus” at the time was 2°-3°C warming and 3 to 10 feet of sea level rise over the next 100 years. So, these are the "numbers” we expect to see in their 2022 report; whereas in 2018 the predictions are already down to < 1°C and about 12 inches of sea rise over 100 years.

As soon as they issue their report, they will already have egg all over their face, and a perfect record of failed alarmist projections over 40+ years.

The U.N. IPCC sells itself as the worlds leading authority on the "current state” of climate research. As such, along with their 2,000 page report every 6 years, they issue a summary ~30 page long titled "Summary for Policy Makers” which most world leaders rely on.

The problem is most world leaders believe the Summary Report unquestioningly .

Yet another example of how huge, uncritical bureaucracies fail miserably. If the science is changing rapidly, you can’t claim you are the "authority” and publish the "current state of understanding” if you base your conclusions on 8 an year old "consensus”.

The negative effects of more atmospheric CO2 keep getting smaller and smaller. The likelihood that the benefits of more CO2 outweigh the negatives improves all the time.

Climate change alarmism is losing on all fronts.

Tim adds:

Well said David! I remember when this thing was gearing up; the media's breathless reporting sounded like baseball announcer Harry Carey "it could be, it might be, it IS!" (Carey was the Chicago Cubs announcer and did that for home runs - everyone watching already KNEW it was a home run.) The media first started talking about the IPCC in hushed, expectant tones, then when the first report came out they were exstatic. "IT IS!" But I knew exactly what they would find; it was obvious back then this was where those in power wanted it to go. Hardly a surprise. .

Oh, one more thing to add; the IPCC is also a vehicle to enhance the presrige of a researcher and the institution he or she works for so there is a career incentive in this. Prestige comes from being alarmist here.

Star Chamber

This from Willis Eschenbach:

Funny thing. The Democrats, who are pushing for a Democrat-led inquisition to punish anyone remotely connected with January 6th, are also fighting like crazy to keep video of the event secret.

How can they scream that they want the truth about what happened, and then fight to cover up the truth about what happened?

If it weren't for double standards, the Left would have no standards at all.

Vote them out, root and branch!

Anti-White CRT Indoctrination Continues to Spread like Covid

Selwyn Duke

https://www.selwynduke.com/2021/07/despite-opposition-anti-white-crt-indoctrination-continues-spreading-like-a-virus.html

From the schoolroom to the board room to video on Zoom, Anti-whiteness 101/Divide-and-Conquer Theory (a.k.a. Critical Race Theory) has swept across America like an invading horde. In fact, despite spirited opposition from parents and others coast to coast, it continues spreading due to pseudo-elite embrace.

One of the latest examples involves pricey pre-k-to-12 school Columbus Academy in Gahanna, Ohio.

Tim adds:

It won't stop; this is the next phase of the "Revolution" and cannot be allowed to falter. It is well funded by a cabal of radcal rich guys and well organized. We are fightint it at the local level but there is no organized resistance capable of stopping it.

Injuns on Warpath in Canada

Timothy Birdnow

No fewer than 20 churches have been burned by arsonists in Canada in recent weeks, and yet the media yawns - and so does the government of Prime Minister Trudeau.

Fox News tells the story:

At least 20 churches in Canada have been burned or vandalized, and Rebel News founder Ezra Levant questioned Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's response to the mounting crime spree Wednesday on "Tucker Carlson Tonight."

"This is so explicitly an anti-church hate crime wave and yet Justin Trudeau, who is normally the first and the wokest, waited a week before saying anything and he literally said 'that's not the way to go,'" Levant stated.

In the last couple of weeks, a series of arsons have arisen as churches and statues are being destroyed throughout the country.

So apparently Christians no longer have the protection of law, or at least are only given it in lukewarm fashion in the Great White North.

El Zoro continues:

In a tweet on July 3, British Columbia Civil Liberties Association executive director Harsha Walia tweeted, "burn it all down," referencing the churches.

Levant further pointed out that the "churches often have aboriginal indigenous congregants and they're saying don't burn our churches down. It's the Canadian equivalent of when Black Lives Matter burns down Black-owned businesses in Black neighborhoods."

"I think these are dark days for religious freedom in Canada," said Levant.

Here is another article about this from a comsymp viewpont:

Churches Are Being Burned to the Ground in Canada - Here's Why

A spree of church arsons have occurred across Canada. In less than two weeks, seven churches have burned following the discovery of over 1,000 unmarked graves on the land of former boarding schools for Indigenous assimilation.

The term "cultural genocide” has been used to describe the treatment of Indigenous children from the 1880s to the 1990s throughout Canada. Over 110 years, roughly 150,000 Indigenous children were sent to boarding schools to be stripped of their language and culture, facing horrific emotional, physical and sexual abuse in the process, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission reports [via BBC].

At least 130 of these schools -- many run by the Catholic Church -- were open throughout Canada until as late as 1996. It’s estimated that up to 6,000 neglected children died of malnutrition and disease at these residential schools, though the true number may never be known as many records were destroyed.

In late May of this year, the remains of 215 children were discovered on the grounds of the former Kamloops Indian Residential School in British Columbia. Just days later, at least 750 additional unmarked graves were found at the former Marieval Indian Residential School. Additional grave sites continue to be discovered, leading to a nationwide outcry and revitalizing a discussion of the evils of colonialism.

As of this posting, over 1,500 grave sites have been uncovered.

"This was a crime against humanity, an assault on First Nations,” remarked Chief Bobby Cameron of the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous First Nations. "We are proud people, the only crime we ever committed as children was being born Indigenous.”

After the graves were discovered, churches began to burn. On June 21 (National Indigenous Peoples Day in Canada), an officer with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police was patrolling near Penticton Indian Band land at 1:22 AM when he spotted flames coming from the Sacred Heart Church. Two hours later, police received a call about another fire at St. Gregory’s Church on Osoyoos Indian Band land, roughly 25 miles from Sacred Heart. Both churches were burned to the ground. Investigators described the fires as "suspicious.”

So, a bunch of disgruntled Injuns are on the warpath!

Now, the Progressives are forever telling us in the U.S. how much better Canada is than America, and we were told the British were kindly to the Native Americans there as opposed to how we evil Yankees treated them. But now we are supposed to believe the British were even worse bastards, and that Canada was and is a hellhole of White Supremacism?

Hmm.

I wish the Left would get their stories straight. They change with whatever wind is blowing.

And who is hurt by this? It was the Indians (I refuse to use the Canuck term "first nations") who lost their churches.

And by what right do people from today punish others for crimes committed by their ancestors? Where does it stop? Do we nuke Norway and Sweden for the crimes of the Vikings? Do we massacre Mexicans for the Alamo? Maybe we should fire bomb Ulan Baatar for the crimes of Genghis Khan or Attila?

For that matter, how do we know these kids weren't the children of Indians who massacred white people? Maybe they were killed in retaliation for what THEIR parents did?

The Misty Valleys of the Empty Mind

From Steven Chase:

Alarming insight....
Here in Academia it is astounding how many students are studying environmental fields. From 'sustainability ' to 'energy ethics'...etc.

But very few students KNOW that electricity must be generated in only one way: coils of copper wire spin inside a strong magnetic field. Something must SPIN these generators - MOVE these coils. There are many methods, but since Nuclear was more-or-less outlawed, nearly ALL power in the U.S. is produced by burning some form of fossil fuel. Biomass, Petroleum or Coal.

WE had better think ahead when moving to an all-electric powered. world. Most young people think 'electric' is a magical thing... like free!

Panic Porn

This from James Hatem:

The panic porn is endless. Now it is the Delta variant we are all supposed to fear. Some facts. The Delta variant is the variant out of India. In the old system of nomenclature it would have been called the Indian variant. So how is India doing with their home grown pathogen? The total deaths per million population in India is one sixth that of the US. On a daily rate basis, the case numbers in India as well as the death numbers are still very much lower than in the US. If a country with the population density and poverty of India is doing better than the US, despite the supposedly more dangerous variant in their country, the panic porn being trumpeted by the MSM in the US is complete BS.

Missouri State Rep. TAkes Governor Parsons to TAsk for Planned Compulsion of Vaccinations

This is from Missouri state rep. Brian Seitz:

Thank you Governor Mike Parsonfor being proactive about this. The vaccine is readily available for those who would like to take it. In many places you can immediately walk in and get it.

Sending federal government employees or agents door to door to compel vaccination is dangerous and intrusive. The choice to get a vaccine is one that should be made between an individual, their family and their medical provider. It’s not the place of any elected official or government representative to compel vaccination. #moleg

May be a Twitter screenshot of one or more people and text that says 'Governor Mike Parson @GovParsonMO I have directed our health department to let the federal government know that sending government employees or agents door-to-door to compel vaccination would NOT be an effective OR a welcome strategy in Missouri!'
