America has lost its purpose

Killing terrorists is no substitute for strategy

With Ayman al-Zawahiri dead, now is time for Washington to abandon the failed counterterrorism policies of the last two decades. Rather than vindicating that approach, as supporters of the Biden administration claim, the al-Qaeda leader’s assassination shows how little it has accomplished. This may well be America’s last chance to fundamentally reorient its foreign policy before the country suffers far more devastating losses than those it has inflicted on itself during the War on Terror.

How the woke left learned to love Big Brother

The British left’s silence on state censorship is shameful – and revealing.

The British left – or what passes for it today – briefly pretended to care about free speech this week. Which was kind of cute. It was all sparked by Tory leadership no-hoper Rishi Sunak’s bonkers suggestion that people who ‘vilify’ Britain should be put on the Prevent anti-radicalisation programme, alongside all the Islamists and fascists. ‘Who are the real snowflakes?’, thundered one left-wing commentator. ‘Fascism creeps ever closer’, warned Richard Murphy, a one-time adviser to Jeremy Corbyn, as he wondered out loud if he might soon end up in ‘some camp of Sunak’s choosing for “re-education”’.

The city with the highest per capita murder rate may not be the one you think

What is the first city that comes to mind when you think of the city with the highest murder rate? For me, it’s Chicago. The cities that frequently make the news due to high murder rates and other violent crimes usually include Chicago, New York City, Baltimore, and Philadelphia. However, a compilation of police data for the month of June from cities with populations of more than 200,000 was put together and the top 31 American cities with the highest murder rates might surprise you.

Washington finds US migrant crisis bussed to its doorstep

Republican southern states have vowed to keep bussing migrants to Democratic cities further north as America grapples with a record- breaking wave of immigration and a mounting humanitarian crisis.

They blame President Biden for the record numbers crossing the border from Mexico. More than 220,000 people were apprehended by US Border Patrol in May, an all-time monthly high.

UN calls out ‘grotesque greed’ of energy companies — Canada should do more to tax the industry, NDP says

Canada’s Ministry of Finance says it’s aiming to make everyone pay “their fair share of tax” but is not committing to an elevated tax on energy companies who are reporting sizeable windfalls while consumers feel pinched at the gas pumps.

The ministry’s statement comes on the heels of United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres sharply criticizing the world’s energy companies for making a profit at the expense of the poor.

On Wednesday, Guterres said the world’s top energy companies made $100 billion in the first quarter of this year and that those profits should be taxed and then used to support the most vulnerable people through difficult times.

Canadian Real Estate To Government, Organized Crime Infiltrated Everything: Intelligence

Some countries lack corruption and some lack investigations revealing corruption. Canada feels like the latter after the data Criminal Intelligence Service Canada (CISC) shared. CISC might not ring a bell, because they operate largely behind the scenes. They provide law enforcement with intelligence on organized crime groups and track activity.

The agency’s 2021 Report on Organized Crime reveals they identified thousands of organized crime groups. The report also reveals these organizations have infiltrated everything from real estate to government. Let’s take a quick dive through some of the data points discreetly eroding your quality of life.

Ken Coates: Canada is a country without a centre, without a purpose

… But our greatest challenge is at home. One of the world’s most over-governed nations, Canada is on the verge of earning new stripes for ineffective governance. Many Canadians found a safe financial haven with CERB and other support payments during the early years of the pandemic. But the federal government workforce’s almost unchecked expansion has not been matched by higher quality services or improved attention to citizen’s needs.

Government application and reporting systems have turned into expensive slogs, while reporting on outcomes has declined dramatically. Approval processes for mines and major infrastructure projects deter all but the most determined companies. The country is an outlier on oil and gas production; African nations are urging major investments, while Canada does its best to keep this energy in the ground, at great cost to its treasuries.

The Bizarre Soviet Movie That Predicted Putinism

A 33-year-old film featuring a naked secretary and a head-shaped cake turns out to be one of the best explanations of the ideas driving the Russian leader.

It could have been any sleepy industrial town anywhere across the old Soviet Union. A weary out-of-town businessman enters the office of the local factory manager and gets his first hint that things aren’t quite right when he sees the manager’s secretary typing away, completely naked. When the dumbstruck visitor alerts the manager that his secretary is completely nude, the manager looks and dismissively shrugs — “well, so she is” — before continuing with business as usual.

Thus begins the main character’s descent into an increasingly bizarre realm where he, along with the audience, struggles to determine what is real and what is not.

The Anti-Semite Stigma used to protect a Jew

Is invoking George Soros as a puppet master behind current events really an anti-Semitic trope?

… When speech is curbed and people are purged for the greater good, be very afraid. Soros acolytes do it for window dressing a mad vision of a world without borders, and centrally governed. Elites like Soros see nothing sacrosanct about sovereignty. To the archangel of impudence national borders are archaic hindrances. A man who named his empire the “Open Society Foundations” – after the epic 1945 treatise by Karl Popper –is an Orwellian character; after all Popper’s ‘The Open Society and Its Enemies” is a defence of liberal democracy under threat from oligarchs with utter contempt for the common man. Soros is Popper’s oligarch; he knows better than any elected leader and common voter what is best for their country.

FBI probes whether three Muslim men are victims of SERIAL KILLER after they were gunned down in New Mexico

Police in Albuquerque are investigating a possible serial killer, after three Muslim men were murdered within five miles of each other in the last nine months.

The trio were all ambushed alone outside their home or work place, and killed by a gunman.

They did not know each other, although the two most recent victims attended the same mosque.

I trust the FBI to be behind this.

Thanks to the EU, Iran Mullahs Will Continue Taking Even More Hostages

The Iranian regime has lately been taking more European hostages — the direct result of the EU’s appeasement policies to the ruling mullahs of Iran.

The Iranian authorities announced on July 30 that they had arrested another Swedish citizen. The Tehran regime normally detains European citizens on vague security-related charges such as having “suspicious behavior and contacts”. Iran’s hardline state-controlled newspaper, Kayhan, has also urged the government to take more European hostages.
