NY Times, Fast Friends With FBI, Suggests It’s ‘Toxic’ ‘Misinformation’ to Call for Defunding

New York Times technology and regulation reporter Cecilia Kang made the front of the Business section Monday under the headline “Toxic Election Narratives Spread Tentacles on Web.”

But Kang wasn’t content with yet another “misinformation” excoriation of the theory of a “stolen election.” She conflated opinions espoused by conservatives under that same “toxic” label, suggesting that merely calling for defunding the FBI (a new proposition in some conservative circles) and the idea that LGBTQ are “grooming” children for pedophilia were also examples of dangerous misinformation…

2 Windsor Police Officers Who Allegedly Donated to Freedom Convoy Face Misconduct Charges

Two officers with the Windsor Police Service (WPS) are facing misconduct charges for allegedly donating money to the Freedom Convoy, a large-scale protest against federal COVID-19 vaccine mandates in Ottawa earlier this year.

The charges against constables Jason Michael Brisco and Brooke Fazekas fall under the Ontario Police Services Act, the WPS said on Sept. 20. A third civilian employee has been suspended without pay for a day, also over allegations of donating to the convoy.

Are You A Dangerous Right Wing Extremist Who Denies Men Can Have A Baby? You Might Be Conservative Commentator Ben Shapiro Says CBC!

‘It’s a slippery slope’: How young men fall into online radicalization

“It started out pretty benign,” he recalls. “You’re watching something about teen fashion and then the next thing you know, the algorithm would push you to a Ben Shapiro video.”

Though Shapiro describes himself as a conservative political commentator, his views are controversial — and some are outright discriminatory. He’s suggested, for example, that transgender people suffer from a “mental disorder.”

But he has a combined 9.4 million subscribers and followers on YouTube and Twitter, many of whom are young people, like Brown was when he got pushed in Shapiro’s direction.

They do suffer from a mental disorder and the CBC is a dangerous enabler attempting to criminalize dissent. Why are our tax dollars supporting gender extremists on CBC?

GUNTER: More evidence about the Liberals’ convoy paranoia emerges

The Liberal establishment’s total paranoia about last winter’s truckers’ protest in downtown Ottawa – not some real national crisis – was behind Justin Trudeau’s invocation of the Emergencies Act.

Canadians probably don’t need more examples of just how overwrought Ottawa’s ruling elite was about the “threat” from the Freedom Convoy. Nonetheless, yet another example surfaced this week.

How the Canadian Anti-Hate Network is Policing Thought Crime with Your Tax Dollars

Canada has a growing problem not only with free speech but free thought, and the Canadian Anti-Hate Network is leading the charge to silence unpopular opinion.

The Canadian Anti-Hate Network (CAHN) is a federally funded organization that claims to monitor far-right hate groups in Canada, including neo-Nazis. Among its other targets are anyone critical of gender identity ideology, including feminists, women’s rights organizations, and those advocating to stop the medical harm caused by childhood gender transition.

The same people preaching men can have a baby are calling you the ‘extremist.’

Facebook spied on private messages of Americans who questioned 2020 election

Facebook has been spying on the private messages and data of American users and reporting them to the FBI if they express anti-government or anti-authority sentiments — or question the 2020 election — according to sources within the Department of Justice.

Under the FBI collaboration operation, somebody at Facebook red-flagged these supposedly subversive private messages over the past 19 months and transmitted them in redacted form to the domestic terrorism operational unit at FBI headquarters in Washington, DC, without a subpoena.

FBI insiders say White supremacy threat overblown as Biden opens summit about racists, extremists

President Biden will convene a forum Thursday at the White House aimed at confronting what civil rights groups, local officials and academics say is an explosive rise in extremism and White supremacy that threatens the core of America’s democracy.

The “United We Stand” summit builds on the administration’s push to root out racially motivated domestic violent extremists. The threat sparked a sweeping strategy that included the creation of a specialized Justice Department unit to combat domestic terrorism. Mr. Biden will deliver the keynote address to highlight the administration’s response to hate and “put forward a shared vision for a more united America,” officials said.

This is all about control by the criminalization of dissent. This week in the Globe and Mail of all places an “Expert” informed us that you’re likely a radical extremist if you deny a man can have a baby.

International, Canadian experts warn right-wing extremism is becoming increasingly mainstream

Right-wing extremism is becoming increasingly mainstream, with the COVID-19 pandemic serving as an accelerant to that process, Canadian and international experts warned Tuesday.

… Prof. Carvin, an associate professor at Carleton University focused on national security, said at the conference that it seems gender-based violence and anti-transgender activity are increasingly what’s motivating people to join the far-right – or attracting them to it.

The usual garbage from the same sort of people who believe children should choose their gender.
