Canadians were spying for U.S. in Cuba at time of alleged sonic attacks: source

A Canadian diplomat was sharing intelligence with American spies in Havana and Canadians were using satellite equipment brought into Cuba by the United States when officials from both countries began experiencing debilitating symptoms caused by alleged sonic attacks linked to Russia, The Globe and Mail has learned.

Two sources tell The Globe that Canada and the United States were working closely together between 2016 and 2018 when diplomats and American intelligence operatives began reporting symptoms including nosebleeds, dizziness, headaches, blurred vision and memory loss.

The tiny island where Chinese mothers travel to give birth to American babies

The tiny island where Chinese mothers travel to give birth to American babies

On a sticky summer’s day in July, a blue-and-white handbag stuffed with cash was shoved into Melanie’s* hands.

It had been given to her by a 36-year-old Chinese woman as she was rushed into surgery for a C-section.

Melanie had been called to the main hospital on the remote island of Saipan to translate for the woman, who had travelled alone from China to give birth in the US territory, automatically giving her baby US citizenship.

Muslims Support Terrorism and That’s a Good Thing

Muslims Support Terrorism and That’s a Good Thing

“Muslim friends and citizens, tax-paying citizens, and Muslims in nations were just appalled and could not believe what we saw on our TV screens. These acts of violence against innocents violate the fundamental tenets of the Islamic faith. And it’s important for my fellow Americans to understand that,” President George W. Bush had claimed in remarks at a mosque after 9/11 while accompanied by terror-linked Islamists. “The face of terror is not the true faith of Islam. That’s not what Islam is all about. Islam is peace. These terrorists don’t represent peace.”

Why Texas is at war with Islam

Why Texas is at war with Islam

As the Global War on Terror got underway at the turn of the 21st century, then-President George W. Bush sharply distinguished Islam and Islamism. Islam, in this telling, was a global faith counting more than a billion adherents, including a few million in America, the overwhelming majority of them peaceful and loyal. Islamism was the noxious ideology that inspired 9/11 and numerous other attacks of the kind. Islam meant “peace,” as Bush insisted. Islamism meant war and terror.

In the years that followed, a few cultural flashpoints brought Islam’s place in America into public contestation. Even so, Bush’s distinction more or less held. But not anymore. Today, politicians and activists from his home state of Texas are promulgating school curricula that underscore the violent dimensions of Islam, mounting fierce opposition to new mosque proposals, and objecting to recent demographic changes in overtly racial and religious terms.

Clash of the Money Giants: China Lays the Groundwork to Rival the Dollar

Clash of the Money Giants: China Lays the Groundwork to Rival the Dollar

The arithmetic of money is incorruptible: when it comes to international settlement systems, the pricing of commodities and energy, and access to the credit system, the U.S. dollar still reigns unchallenged. Eighty-nine percent of all foreign exchange transactions are conducted in greenbacks — central banks, commercial banks, and other capital pools hold roughly 57 percent of global currency reserves in U.S. dollars.

Conrad Black Says Carney’s War Talk Is All About Whipping Up Faux Outrage Among His TDS Afflicted Base

Conrad Black Says Carney’s War Talk Is All About Whipping Up Faux Outrage Among His TDS Afflicted Base

It is with great concern for some of my fellow countrymen, inching precariously toward the edge of utter lunacy, that I write this post.

Prime Minister Mark Carney this week, in an interview with the New York Times, went on record saying it would be “irresponsible” not to plan for the possible contingency of a military invasion of Canada by the United States. Unfortunately, Mr. Carney didn’t misspeak or fall victim to a cherry-picked quote taken out of context. His concern was later reiterated by Defence Minister David McGuinty and Artificial Intelligence Minister Evan Solomon.

‘We Want Islam For This Country’: Muslims In Texas Lay Out Vision For Islamic America

‘We Want Islam For This Country’: Muslims In Texas Lay Out Vision For Islamic America

Shaykh Uthman ibn Farooq laid out a vision for an Islamic America during a livestreamed event at the Sufaraa Center in McKinney, Texas, last week. Authentic Ilm Mission, which hosted the event, has plans for a 40,000-square-foot facility near Plano, Texas, and used the livestream featuring Farooq to fundraise for the multipurpose school and Islamic community center.

“We love this country,” Farooq said. “We want good for this country. And that’s why we want Islam for this country, ’cause we think that’s the best thing. And we’re not going to be ashamed of that.”

Muslims Caught Transporting Kidnapped Teens Across US-Canadian Border

Muslims Caught Transporting Kidnapped Teens Across US-Canadian Border

There’s been a great deal of focus on our border with Mexico, less so on the Canadian border, in part because of the sheer size of it and also because it hasn’t been as ‘hot’. But many of the incidents that we’ve had on the border have involved Muslims including two plots, one of which targeted LAX airport, and there seems to be a growing number of cases of Muslims transporting kidnapped teens across the border.

Donald Trump’s New York State of Mind

Donald Trump’s New York State of Mind

At the United Nations, President Donald Trump offered a revealing demonstration of American power: pressure, dialogue, and the leverage to know when to use each.

For one week every September, New York becomes the capital of the world. Motorcades replace taxis, presidents replace tourists, and behind the speeches at the United Nations, governments search for meetings that may matter more than the speeches themselves. This year, the stakes were particularly high: war with Iran, the continuing war in Ukraine, instability across the Middle East, tensions with China, and growing doubts about whether international institutions can still manage a world increasingly shaped by hard power.

Carney-Val Continues: ‘I Had Plans Prepared for Syrupean Elbows Up in Case Trump Attacked’

You know, sometimes you hear something that’s just SO ridiculous that you completely discount it, even though it’s coming from a source that coulda, maybe, mighta said something ludicrous.

But your rational brain won’t allow you to accept that even someone with a track record of inanity could be that bat-guano gone.

And then, well…it turns out you were wrong.

Xi got Trump’s red carpet welcome – but not everything he wanted

Xi got Trump’s red carpet welcome – but not everything he wanted

President Xi Jinping’s summits with Donald Trump have one clear aim.

China believes the United States is trying to contain its rise as a superpower, and it wants Washington to stay out of its way – particularly when it comes to trade, technology and Taiwan.

On this visit, however, despite Trump rolling out the red carpet for him, the Chinese leader didn’t get everything he wanted.
