Judge rules Toronto massage parlour murder was a terrorist act
In a precedent-setting ruling, a Superior Court of Ontario judge has ruled the murder of a female employee and the attempted murder of another female employee at a North York spa in February 2020 did meet the Criminal Code definition of a terrorist activity, motivated in whole or in part by the misogynistic incel ideology.
Justice Suhail Akhtar delivered his bottom-line ruling over Zoom. His reasons for the decision will follow at a later date.

Carlos the Jackal ‘betrayed by CIA informer in his own ranks’
Four years before he vanished on a ferry in the Mediterranean, Bruno Breguet walked into a US embassy offering information on his paymaster, a Venezuelan called Ilich Ramírez Sánchez, but known the world over as Carlos the Jackal.
By the spring of 1991, the Swiss-born Breguet had risen to become a deputy leader for Sánchez in western Europe, with the Jackal in hiding in Damascus. Breguet, who was legally a resident of Ticino, Switzerland, often spent weeks at a time in the Syrian capital and was trusted by the world’s most wanted terrorist to run his operations.
The unanswered questions over alarming uranium discovery at Heathrow Airport
During the lull between Christmas and the new year, something alarming flashed up on Heathrow Airport’s specialist scanning technology.
From the depths of a shipment of scrap metal, a radioactive signal.
While false alerts can sometimes be triggered, this one was not one of them.
Metal bars embedded with uranium had made the 3,700-mile journey to London from Pakistan, via Muscat in Oman.
So Where Were All the Terrorist Attacks in Canada in 2022?
Headline writers have a challenging job before them (note that they are rarely, if ever, the same people who actually write columns or news stories in the media). They have to read an article, understand it, figure out something to write in less than 10 words that captures the essence of the piece, and compose it in such a way that the reader sees it and says, “Wow! I really want to read the whole thing now!”

At least 40 individuals on the US terrorist watch list have been nabbed while trying to enter the country in the last month, according to US Customs and Border Protection.

An additional 31 suspected terrorists were stopped at usual ports of entry by customs agents — 25 at the US-Canadian border and the six at the southern border.
WTF? Just who is in charge of immigration in Canada?
Canada: The Weak Link In Countering Terror Finance?
Justin Trudeau, Canada’s charismatic young Prime Minister, seeks to cultivate a progressive image. The Wall Street Journal calls him “the world’s golden boy of liberal politics,” while lamenting that a corruption scandal tarnished his “rock-star popularity.” Much of his progressive façade, however, rests on an embrace of identity politics. And, as often happens when ethnic lobbies trump individuals, radicalism wins while the silent majority loses out.

What Terrorists Learned from Covid
America remains vulnerable to pathogens.
American counterterrorism experts’ biggest fear remains a biological w eapons attack in the United States. A conventional bomb can kill hundreds or even thousands, but a biological weapon can surreptitiously invade, spread, mutate, and kill millions. Biological weapons have been used throughout history, from poisoning wells to “gifting” smallpox-infected blankets. Whether you believe that Covid-19 came from bats sold in a wet market or escaped from a Chinese lab, terrorists are observing the pandemic’s toll on America and taking notes for a future biological attack. What lessons might they have learned from America’s reaction to Covid?
Supreme Court reinstates death sentence for Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev
The Supreme Court on Friday reinstated the death penalty sentence imposed on Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, reversing a lower federal appeals court ruling that had voided that punishment.
In its 6-3 ruling, the high court rejected arguments by Tsarnaev’s lawyers that his trial judge erred in barring certain questions to prospective jurors, and in blocking evidence of his brother Tamerlan’s role in a prior triple murder.
The Largest Terrorist Organization in the World Will Surprise You
Read the definition of ‘terrorism’ again, and it will suddenly dawn on you that the largest terrorist organization in the world is not Al Qaida or ISIS, but the government of the United States. The CCP is probably the second-largest terrorist organization in the world, having worked with the government of the United States and the leaders of other Western countries to commit the largest act of terrorism in human history.
Iran’s Ayatollah Posts Video Depicting Trump’s Assassination, Revenge For Terror Chief Soleimani

The computer generated video, published on Wednesday, depicts Iranian military drones and unmanned combat vehicles closing in on President Trump as he plays golf at his Florida residence.
The hypocrisy of America’s terror debate
Experts are blinded by the threat of the far-Right
… What is even more curious is the incuriosity of the elite media and extremism experts about the Brooks case. Had he been a white male who had expressed misogynistic views about women it is certain that they would have staged a giant moral panic about the global menace of incels and the far-Right.
But Brooks, who is a registered sex offender and trader in online hate, has attracted little sustained discussion or concern. To be clear: I’m not saying that the Brooks case should occasion a moral panic, or that he be given a terrorism charge. There’s still much that we don’t know about him, his state of mind, motives and indeed mental health. But I do think we should ask questions about the selection bias of the credentialed commentators and experts who command so much of our attention.
