Female athletes urged to boycott Tokyo Olympics as New Zealand accused of ‘cheating’ after trans weightlifter selected for Games

Assures world he’s female.

New Zealand has been accused of undermining female athletics after tapping trans weightlifter Laurel Hubbard for the upcoming Olympic Games in Tokyo, with some even describing the decision as outright cheating.

The New Zealand Olympic Committee (NZOC) CEO Kereyn Smith said that Hubbard met the requirements to compete in the international games, and stressed that New Zealand’s team has a “strong culture of… inclusion and respect for all.” Smith acknowledged that the decision was controversial, stating that “human rights” must be balanced with “fairness on the field of play” when it comes to gender identity in sports.

The Lazarus heist: How North Korea almost pulled off a billion-dollar hack

In 2016 North Korean hackers planned a $1bn raid on Bangladesh’s national bank and came within an inch of success – it was only by a fluke that all but $81m of the transfers were halted, report Geoff White and Jean H Lee. But how did one of the world’s poorest and most isolated countries train a team of elite cyber-criminals?

It all started with a malfunctioning printer. It’s just part of modern life, and so when it happened to staff at Bangladesh Bank they thought the same thing most of us do: another day, another tech headache. It didn’t seem like a big deal.

But this wasn’t just any printer, and it wasn’t just any bank.

Bangladesh Bank is the country’s central bank, responsible for overseeing the precious currency reserves of a country where millions live in poverty.

The Media is Gaslighting America on Critical Race Theory

The Media is Gaslighting America on Critical Race Theory

Critical race theory has become one of the most hotly discussed issues facing our country over the last few months. Since the death of George Floyd, the summer of race riots, and spike in anti-Asian hate crimes, critical race theory has found its way into nearly every institution in our country, including the government, the military, private sector businesses, and education. Yet the media insists it’s much ado about nothing.

Canada: University Uses Critical Race Theory to Fight ‘Islamophobia’

Like a kid with a new toy, leftists are bringing their latest tool of oppression and discord everywhere.

The Agassiz-Harrison Observer out in British Columbia reported Thursday that at the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV), a vanguard academic institution if there ever was one, is striking a blow this week against one of the great evils of our time: “As part of the Peace and Reconciliation Centre’s (PARC) Peace Talks series, on June 23 the centre will host a webinar from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., addressing Islamophobia.” What a relief! And even better, in a meeting of academic fads that one day will look as dated as Nehru jackets and bell-bottom trousers, they’re hauling out Critical Race Theory to fight “Islamophobia.”

Is Canada a racist country? One-third of respondents in a new study say yes

Is Canada a racist country? One-third of respondents in a new study say yes

… Most respondents from across the country think that diversity is ultimately a good thing — 85 per cent of people agree that Canada is a better country because of how racially diverse its population is.

But when it comes to other sentiments, responses were divisive. One-third of respondents think that “Canada is a racist country.” Of these respondents, 42 per cent are visible minorities and 54 per cent are women under the age of 35. Meanwhile, three-quarters of respondents over the age of 55 don’t think Canada is a racist country.

Some respondents, including 54 per cent of Albertans and 57 per cent of Saskatchewanians, say that exaggerating discrimination is a larger problem than not seeing it where it does exist. However, 44 per cent of Saskatchewanians agree that Canada is a racist country.

Texas’s Camping Bans Will Help the Homeless Large urban encampments are unsafe for everyone.

Many Americans think that homelessness is a problem confined to coastal states, but the issue is becoming prominent in Texas as well. Since 2017, the number of people in the state living outside—the “unsheltered homeless”—has increased by 50 percent. About 10,500 Texans now live, and all too often die, on the streets. One reason why: many Texas cities have condoned, or even encouraged, street camping and sleeping.

The Jews Who Are Complicit in Jew-Hatred

It’s a feature, not a bug, of the horrors of the past month

“… If there’s one organization whose responsibility it is to prepare not just the Jewish community but the wider United States public and its government for emerging anti-Semitic threats, it’s the ADL. Instead, the head of the ADL has been spreading a cynical left-wing myth about anti-Semitism while threats to the Jewish community fester.”

This is an eye opening and very dismaying read, allegedly non-partisan NGO’s functioning as left wing fronts is nothing new of course but the extent of the rot may surprise you. The same situation holds true in Canada. Go incognito as it is behind a soft paywall.

The US-Backed Palestinian Human Rights Violations

Did the Biden administration give the Palestinian Authority (PA) a green light to resume its security crackdown on social media users, political activists and rivals in the West Bank?

Since US Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s visit in late May to Ramallah, the de facto capital of the Palestinians, PA security forces have arrested or summoned dozens of Palestinians for interrogation.

Many of these Palestinians were accused of “insulting” Palestinian leaders on social media platforms or expressing support for the PA’s rivals in Hamas and other Palestinian factions.

‘Latin America will never be the same’: Venezuela exodus reaches record levels

The continuing exodus of millions of Venezuelans is reaching “a tipping point” as the response to the crisis remains critically underfunded.

More than 5.6 million have left the country since 2015, when it had a population of 30 million, escaping political, economic and social hardships. It has become the largest external displacement crisis in the region’s history, and the most underfunded.

Biden will give them anything they want.
