UK’s Prevent deradicalisation program undermined by Muslim groups – official narrative that far-right is the fastest growing threat is a ‘comfort blanket’ obscuring the ‘patently more potent threat of Islamist extremism’.

Calls to overhaul Prevent as it is revealed ‘divisive groups who DON’T believe in counter-terror strategy help decide if individuals need to be deradicalised’ – after Islamists behind four recent attacks were ALL referred to scheme

Prevent is being undermined by activists who are opposed to its very existence being allowed to decide if individuals need to be deradicalised, a review will find – as it emerged Islamists behind four recent attacks were all referred to the scheme.

The review – which will be handed to Priti Patel next month – found that Prevent was ineffective in some parts of the UK because councils were involving Muslim groups with a ‘divisive’ agenda.

… Ian Acheson, a former prison governor and senior adviser at the Counter Extremism Project, said the official narrative that the far-right is the fastest growing threat is a ‘comfort blanket’ obscuring the ‘patently more potent threat of Islamist extremism’.

‘The body count does not lie,’ he said.

‘The future is China’: Billionaire from Montreal becomes vocal Beijing booster in embattled Hong Kong

As the back-story for a self-made business tycoon, Hollywood screenwriters couldn’t have done much better than Allan Zeman’s actual life.

Growing up poor in Montreal, Zeman lost his father when he was just seven years old and joined the working world only three years later. By 12 — he often claims with his trademark toothy grin — he was making more money from his paper route and cleaning job at a steak house than his school teachers took home.

Star’s Resident Chavez Fan-Girl Urges We Be Nice To Communist China

Retaliation against China is exactly what the world doesn’t need

Call me faint-hearted but it strikes me as a bad idea to deliberately stir up trouble against a country armed with nuclear weapons.

So it’s ominous to hear the rattling of sabres by Canadians trying to push Ottawa towards punitive action against China for its detention of two Canadians called Michael.

China is an authoritarian, repressive country and its long detentions of Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor were cruel and wrong; it’s wonderful the two men are finally free.

But the animus being stirred up against it is reckless and dangerous, and seems aimed at backing U.S. efforts by both the Trump and Biden administrations to isolate China and push back against its rising economic and technological power and the challenge this poses to U.S. hegemony.

Magnificent Mile no more: Chicago blighted by shoplifting as left-wing AG stops prosecuting shoplifters who steal less than $1000 of goods

Chicago is the latest city to be hit by rampant shoplifting and its Magnificent Mile, the once highly-populated retail destination, is now dotted with empty storefronts as businesses are being driven away by the brazen thieves.

The city has been plagued by a string of robberies and a wave of crime in the past few months, as some say that the city’s ‘soft-on-crime’ policies embolden the thieves. The issue may only grow worse as at least 50 cops have been put on unpaid leave for refusing to get the COVID-19 vaccine.

Shoplifting cases grew more common following a December 2016 motion from State’s Attorney Kim Foxx that mandated Chicago prosecutors only issue felony charges for theft of property over $1,000.

Happy International Pronouns Day!

From the people who brought you humiliation in Afghanistan.

It wasn’t a joke. Or, at least, it wasn’t meant as a joke.

“Today on International Pronouns Day,” tweeted the U.S. State Department on Wednesday, “we share why many people list pronouns on their email and social media profiles.”

The tweet linked to an article at ShareAmerica, the State Department’s “platform for communicating American foreign policy worldwide.”

Canada unveils mandatory international travel vaccine passport — Will Create a ‘Global Digital Infrastructure of Surveillance’: Former Ontario Privacy Commissioner

Canada unveils international travel vaccine passport — starting Nov. 30, you won’t be able to fly without it

OTTAWA—Fully-vaccinated Canadians travelling abroad or boarding planes and interprovincial trains will be able to flash a provincially-issued vaccine passport that sports a machine-readable black-and-white QR code and the familiar Canada wordmark and maple leaf flag over the final “a” —and starting Nov. 30, you won’t be able to fly without it.

Vaccine Passports Will Create a ‘Global Digital Infrastructure of Surveillance’: Former Ontario Privacy Commissioner

Vaccine passports mandated by governments will create a highly intrusive surveillance system that not only forces Canadians to reveal their health information but can also track their whereabouts, Ontario’s former privacy commissioner says.

“Good Green Jobs” is this era’s BIG LIE

Low-carbon transition could cost 800K jobs if action not taken: report

The world is headed for a low-carbon transition whether Canada is ready or not — and if companies and government policies don’t get better prepared for this shift, 800,000 jobs could be on the line.

That’s the latest finding from the Canadian Institute for Climate Choices (CICC)’s report, Sink or Swim, Transforming Canada’s economy for a global low-carbon future, which was released Thursday morning.

Good Green Gulags is more like it if the latest “5 Year Plan” is followed.

‘No middle ground’: How children’s COVID-19 vaccination is polarizing parents

When the COVID-19 vaccines are approved and made available for young kids in Canada, Ontario mom Alyssa Beauchamp will not be rushing to get her five-year-old son jabbed.

The 22-year-old mother of three from Hamilton, Ont., who is fully vaccinated herself, is concerned about how her oldest would react to the vaccine.

“I would prefer to maybe just wait a little bit to see how other kids react before I put it in my son,” she said.

Bataclan survivors recall being held hostage as gunmen fired on crowd

Group of 11 were forced to watch massacre and then used as human shields, trial over Paris attacks hears

Survivors of the 2015 terrorist attack on the Bataclan concert hall in Paris have described their fear and panic when they were held hostage in a corridor for more than two hours by two gunmen armed with Kalashnikovs and wearing explosive vests.

Three witnesses – one a 23-year-old barman at the time of the attack and two IT workers who were in their 30s – told France’s biggest ever criminal trial how they were among 11 people first forced to watch as the gunmen took pleasure in targeting and shooting concertgoers from a balcony, and then taken to a narrow upstairs corridor and used as human shields.

Eric Zemmour: Far-right journalist cast as Macron election rival

Eric Zemmour

There were still 100 people queuing outside the auditorium when they closed the doors. Not bad for a man who hasn’t officially declared his candidacy yet.

Eric Zemmour is shaking up France’s presidential race before it’s even begun.

And his rally in the small southern town of Béziers made an unsettling image for France’s far-right leader, Marine Le Pen. Polls suggest he’s on track to challenge her for leadership of the nationalist hard-right in France.

The child of Jewish Algerian immigrants, Zemmour has long drawn attention for his controversial views – claiming, for example, that French Jews were protected by the state during World War Two. In fact, France’s wartime Vichy regime sent thousands of French Jews as well as Jewish refugees to the Nazi death camps.

Giving genocide denial a platform: ISIS, the media and the Yazidis

Muslims tattooed their Yazidi girl slaves.

When the Dutch journalist Judit Neurink and her friends heard of the takeover of northern Iraq by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) from her base in Irbil (or Erbil), the capital of Iraqi Kurdistan, they were surprised. Neurink, a Middle East specialist and editor of one of the leading Dutch daily papers, Trouw in Amsterdam, moved to Irbil in 2008. During the time she spent there, apart from reporting, she set up a media centre to train journalists and teach politicians and the police how to work with the media. She wrote her sixth book, The Women of the Caliphate, which described life inside ISIS territory, published in 2016. Yet, she had been as shocked as anyone when ISIS occupied Mosul, just 50 miles from Irbil and only 250 miles from Baghdad, on June 10, 2014.

Within two days, and with only an estimated 1,500 fighters, ISIS had overrun Iraq’s second-largest city, with a population of about one-and-a-half million people. The Iraqi troops simply melted away. It was hardly a fight.

The myth of lone-wolf terrorism

Would David Amess still be alive if someone had spoken up?

My heart sank twice last week: first when I heard about the brutal murder of Sir David Amess; and again when I started to read some of the disturbing commentary about the 25-year-old arrested on suspicion of carrying out the attack.

For many, the ethnicity and heritage of Ali Harbi Ali were wholly irrelevant to his alleged behaviour. Acknowledging that Ali is of Somali background, we were told, is racist and xenophobic. He must only be identified as British.
