Texas crisis will reshape energy policy-making everywhere as wind-power collapse puts renewables under scrutiny

The North American energy policy community, a space already filled with plenty of hot air streaming in from the global warming conflict, now faces a new jet stream of cold winds blowing down via the polar vortex. There’s no point getting bogged down in the climatic origins of the polar vortex; suffice to say that its recent acceleration has had a devastating impact on North American weather patterns.

Gurski: If the head of a spy agency speaks publicly, shouldn’t we listen?

The heads of security intelligence agencies seldom open up. When they do, it is a sign to pay attention.

Canadians witnessed a very rare event recently. The director of CSIS, David Vigneault, gave a speech – virtually, of course – to the Centre for International Governance Innovation in Ottawa. In this all too infrequent occurrence, he talked about what keeps him up at night as the head of Canada’s premier spy agency.

Media’s censorious gatekeepers are mad — because they’re losing power

With Donald Trump out of office and de-platformed, you’d think mainstream media gatekeepers would be happy. You’d think wrong.

Though the media-Big Tech regime is doing its best to silence opponents and seize control of the high ground, the news from within is grim. They aren’t happy with how things are going.

That’s because they know they’re losing. Some are losing audiences and revenues. But more important, they’re losing control of the narrative.

Facebook makes a power move in Australia – and may regret it

Facebook makes a power move in Australia – and may regret it

For years, Facebook has been in a defensive crouch amid a slew of privacy scandals, antitrust lawsuits and charges that it was letting hate speech and extremism destroy democracy. Early Thursday, though, it abruptly pivoted to take the offensive in Australia, where it lowered the boom on publishers and the government with a sudden decision to block news on its platform across the entire country.

That power play — a response to an Australian law that would compel Facebook to pay publishers for using their news stories — might easily backfire, given how concerned many governments have grown about the company’s unchecked influence over society, democracy and political discourse. But it’s still a startling reminder of just how much power CEO Mark Zuckerberg can wield at the touch of a figurative button.

Topple the oligarchs.

Palestinians: EU Facilitating Hamas Victory

“The EU and other international parties perfectly well see that Hamas will run in upcoming election and again promise Palestinians to continue the “armed struggle’ against Israel. They can perfectly well hear Hamas saying that its goal is to “liberate Palestine, from the [Jordan] river to the [Mediterranean] sea.” It seems that Hamas’s goal — finishing what Hitler started, annihilating the Jews — is precisely what the EU and the international community secretly, or unconsciously, want.”

Killings surge in Syria camp housing Islamic State families

BEIRUT (AP) — The deaths stacked up: a policeman shot dead with a pistol equipped with a silencer, a local official gunned down, his son wounded, an Iraqi man beheaded. In total, 20 men and women were killed last month in the sprawling camp in northeastern Syria housing families of the Islamic State group.

The slayings in al-Hol camp — nearly triple the deaths in previous months — are largely believed to have been carried out by IS militants punishing perceived enemies and intimidating anyone who wavers from their extremist line, say Syrian Kurdish officials who run the camp but say they struggle to keep it under control.

Boo Hoo.

French refugee center manager stabbed to death by asylum seeker – police

The manager of a refugee center in the French city of Pau has died of his injuries, after allegedly being stabbed multiple times by a Sudanese asylum seeker, police said on Friday.

The suspect, a 38-year-old man from Sudan, was arrested following the attack. He was reportedly known to the authorities for acts of violence and has already been in prison, according to French media.

The knife attack took place at around 11am local time in Pau, in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques. The suspect’s motives for the attack remain unknown, although police sources told local media he had just been refused refugee status by OFPRA, the French Office for the Protection of Refugees and Stateless Persons. The public broadcaster France Télévisions reported that the man had been in France since 2015.
