Wuhan Lab Leak Controversy Illuminates Why U.S. Corporate Media Amplify Communist Propaganda

As soon as COVID-19 appeared in Wuhan, China, it was a high possibility that the virus originated in one of the two high-security labs studying bat viruses in that city — the National Bio-Safety Laboratory and the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

The Wuhan Institute of Virology was of particular concern. U.S. State Department cables in 2018 warned of extreme sloppiness at the lab. Although the lab’s research on bat coronaviruses was partially funded by the U.S. National Institute of Health’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (of which Anthony Fauci is the director), the warnings went unaddressed.

PM issues formal apology to Italian Canadians interned during Second World War

 

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau delivered a formal apology on Thursday to Italian Canadians who were interned in this country during the Second World War, recognizing in the House of Commons address the wrongs done to these citizens by the federal government.

After Italy allied with Germany in 1940, 600 men were interned in camps in this country, four women were detained and sent to jail, while approximately 31,000 other Italian-Canadians were declared “enemy aliens,” prompting mistreatment and discrimination including fingerprinting and having to regularly report to local registrars.

An apology from Trudeau means nothing. 


The harm done by Justin Trudeau’s apology to Italian-Canadians might require an apology of its own

Canada interned hundreds of Italian-Canadians during the Second World War “for the simple reason that they were of Italian heritage,” Liberal MP Angelo Iacono told the House of Commons on April 14, paving the way for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to announce that Canada would formally apologize for doing so in May.

Mr. Iacono’s claim is remarkable. It suggests that Canada perpetrated a massive violation of human rights among members of that ethnic community. But if they really were interned simply because of their heritage, surely tens of thousands must have been thrown into camps – far more than the 12,000 Japanese-Canadians pulled from their homes on the West Coast and interned during the war (in addition to the thousands more forced to work on farms). There were, after all, more than 100,000 Italian-Canadians in 1940.

Facebook’s censorship of Wuhan lab story shows ‘its true ugly colours’: Tech giant is condemned for ‘ingratiating itself to China’

Facebook was today accused of ‘showing its true and ugly colours’ and smothering free speech to cosy up to China as it scrapped its ban on posts debating whether Covid-19 could be man-made – but only after Joe Biden ordered the CIA to probe if the virus came from a Wuhan lab.

Mark Zuckerberg’s global policy chief Nick Clegg, the former British MP and Liberal Democrat leader, has also been branded ‘feeble’ for allowing months of censorship on the social network.

Critics told MailOnline that Facebook’s behaviour had been ‘contemptible’ and hope they will now respect free speech rather than ‘ingratiating’ themselves with states such as China, which has banned the website but remains a $5billion-a-year ad market.

Makes you wonder why social media was so Trump deranged and where their loyalties lie.

Veterans Affairs asks for public feedback on Canada’s Afghan war monument

Almost a decade after Canada’s combat operations in Afghanistan ended, Veterans Affairs is asking for public feedback on five design proposals for a national monument to commemorate this country’s longest war.

The veterans department has launched an online survey to allow Canadians to evaluate concept art for the memorial, which is expected to be constructed across from the Canadian War Museum in downtown Ottawa.

Regardless of which design is chosen I’m sure it will be decried as Islamophobic and insufficiently Transgender.

Ontario reports 1,135 new Covid cases … and… WTF?!!? “White Fungus”

Ontario reports 1,135 new Covid cases … and… WTF?!!? “White Fungus”

Ontario reports 1,135 new COVID-19 cases and 19 more deaths; lowest positivity rate logged since March

Ontario reported more than 1,100 new COVID-19 cases and 19 additional deaths on Thursday, as the positivity rate marked a new low not seen since March.

Provincial health officials logged 1,135 new coronavirus cases, up from 1,095 on Wednesday but continuing a downward trend in new infections recorded in the past few weeks.


COVID: India’s ‘white fungus’ infections raise new health concerns

India’s Health Ministry is asking pharmaceutical companies to ramp up production and distribution of antifungal medications after a new type of fungal infection was found in recovering COVID-19 patients last week.

In Ghaziabad, a city in the northern Uttar Pradesh state, as many as seven recovering COVID-19 patients have been diagnosed with invasive aspergillosis, a severe form of white fungus infection.

Similar cases have been detected in cities in the states of Gujarat, Maharashtra and Bihar.


Making itself at home…

Cases of B.1.617 coronavirus variant in Ontario grew nearly six-fold last week: officials

Ontario’s count of known examples of the B.1.617 coronavirus variant grew nearly six times in the span of a week in May, and officials say they are still a “few weeks” away from being able to disclose new findings publicly in real time.

From May 12 to May 19, Public Health Ontario (PHO) said the number of known positive cases of the B.1.617 coronavirus variant grew from 45 to 260. It is almost certainly even higher today.

The African slavery behind the leftists’ green dreams

One of Joe Biden’s initiatives is to get Americans into electric cars. In his first week in the White House, he announced that he wants every car that the federal government owns to be electric. Moreover, his $2-trillion “infrastructure” plan calls for giving taxpayer-funded rebates to electric car buyers and to increase the number of charging stations (although without also increasing the amount of available electricity). What Biden and other Green Deal proponents are ignoring is that the lithium that is an essential ingredient in electric car batteries comes from slave labor in Africa.

The Revolution Comes to Juilliard

Racial hysteria is consuming the school; unchecked, it will consume the arts.

Turn on CNN or open the New York Times, and you may encounter someone explaining how exhausting it is to be a black person. The idea that systemic racism is leaving blacks scarred and spent has been embraced across mainstream America, articulated by corporate CEOs and university presidents. The latest performative assertion of black oppression is playing out at the Juilliard School in New York City. The controversy has significance beyond the school.

Gaza Round 4: Hamas Follows the Classic Terror Playbook

Gaza Round 4: Hamas Follows the Classic Terror Playbook

And the Biden administration and much of the West seems all too willing to play along.

For decades, terrorists have relied on three weapons to fight the West: our technology, our media, and our laws and associated values.

First, they turned our technology against us: on September 11, 2001, they converted civilian jetliners into flying bombs; then and thereafter they used global media access to transmit their messages to the world while denigrating their adversaries; and, finally, they used access to our law courts and the constitutional privileges intended for America’s citizenry to wage total war against our civilization. In essence, our struggle is a Manichean one between imperfect civilization (us) and perfect barbarism (them). And, arguably, we are losing.

George Floyd and the revenge of the elites

One year on: how a gruesome murder became a catalyst for a regressive new politics.

It’s one year since George Floyd was murdered. Since Derek Chauvin forced his knee on to Floyd as he gasped for air and cried for his mother. Since that image of a cavalier cop and a desperate black man was beamed around the world, horrifying everyone who saw it. And it’s one year since the killing of Floyd started to morph into something else. Since it started to become a symbol, a weapon even, which was then marshalled to a broader cause. We might call it the revenge of the elites – the exploitation of Floyd’s death to reprimand populism and to further institutionalise the regressive, controlling politics of identity.

Children tell of neglect, filth and fear in Biden asylum camps

The US has a vast system of detention sites scattered across the country, holding more than 20,000 migrant children. In a special investigation, the BBC has uncovered allegations of cold temperatures, sickness, neglect, lice and filth, through a series of interviews with children and staff.

It was midnight on the Rio Grande – the imposing river that forms the border between Texas and Mexico – and lights began to flash on the Mexican side. Voices could be heard in the darkness. Figures emerged, got into a small raft, and began to cross the river.

As the raft appeared on the US side, the faces of the migrants became visible. More than half of them were children. Over March and April, more than 36,000 children crossed into the US unaccompanied by an adult. This was a record high for recent years.

Auditor finds national PPE stockpile unprepared for pandemic, despite warnings

Canada’s National Emergency Strategic Stockpile was unprepared to deal with the pandemic due to “long-standing unaddressed problems” that had been known for more than a decade when COVID-19 hit, according to the Auditor General.

Auditor General Karen Hogan reviewed the national stockpile and the government’s effort to purchase personal protective equipment and found the stockpile was not well equipped to help in the pandemic.
