‘Humans are a mistake’: Why more young women are getting sterilized

World is better off.

Rachel Diamond looks like most of the moms at the Park Slope café where we meet. She’s wearing a green T-shirt under a black corduroy jumper, sensible shoes and carries a smart, leather bag. She sips a four dollar iced chai. Except the 31-year-old isn’t a mom. And she never will be.

“You know,” Diamond says cheerily, “I never expected to be the poster child of sterilization.”

Eight members of United Nation of Islam ‘cult’ in Kansas are accused of separating children as young as eight from their parents, making them work 16-hour days

Federal prosecutors have claimed that eight leaders of a Kansas-based ‘cult’ separated children as young as eight from their parents, physically abused them and put them to work in businesses across the U.S. in 16-hour-a-day shifts with no pay.

A 20-page filing by Kansas federal prosecutors alleged that the leaders of the United Nation of Islam, which was labeled a cult by a federal judge in 2018, encouraged parents to send their children to an unlicensed school in Kansas City. Those who failed to enroll would be put to work.

The accused leaders – Kaaba Majeed, Yunus Rassoul, James Staton, Randolph Rodney Hadley, Dana Peach, Etenia Kinard, and Jacelyn Greenwell – were arrested on Monday in various U.S. cities. They do not yet have lawyers listed in court records and were unable to be reached for comment.

Indigenous or pretender?

Carrie Bourassa, one of the country’s most-esteemed Indigenous health experts, claims to be Métis, Anishinaabe and Tlinglit. Some of her colleagues say there’s no evidence of that.

Grey Owl – Archie Belaney – A visionary!

With a feather in her hand and a bright blue shawl and Métis sash draped over her shoulders, Carrie Bourassa made her entrance to deliver a TEDx Talk at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon in September 2019, where she detailed her personal rags-to-riches story.

“My name is Morning Star Bear,” she said, choking up. “I’m just going to say it — I’m emotional.”

The crowd applauded and cheered.

“I’m Bear Clan. I’m Anishinaabe Métis from Treaty Four Territory,” Bourassa said, explaining that she grew up in Regina’s inner city in a dysfunctional family surrounded by addiction, violence and racism.

We really need to make the “Archie’s” award a thing. Assuming the allegations are true the subject of this article is Russian and Czech and anything but Aboriginal. She sports an amazing defense claiming feelings trump DNA.

Official mascot of COP26 ‘Bonnie the Seal’ decried as ‘giant rat’

It was supposed to be a symbol of the international effort to tackle climate change and leave the world in a better state for the next generation.

But on Monday the Government was scrambling to distance itself from the new face of Cop26: a £1,600 taxpayer-funded seal dressed in a blue cheerleading uniform and Glasgow-themed bobble hat.

The mascot, which was signed off by Boris Johnson’s administration, will be patrolling the streets of Glasgow from next week as world leaders descend on the city for the 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference.

Newly released records show defence intelligence officials downplayed the risk of COVID-19

 

… The minister of national defence, Harjit Sajjan, told the House of Commons on July 22, 2020, under questioning from the Conservatives, that the government had made decisions in response to COVID-19 “based on sound intelligence to make sure Canadians are safe.” In a brief exchange on that day, he repeated the assertion no less than four times, while declining to divulge any specifics about the intelligence reports.

It is now clear, thanks to a long-delayed release of records under the Access to Information Act, that the minister’s confident assertion about the quality of intelligence was incorrect.

Third-world now: San Fran families hire private security patrols as crime spikes because they don’t ‘feel safe’

“We don’t feel safe in our neighborhood,” one resident, Katie Lyons, told KPIX-TV. “And we have an alarm, we have cameras on our property, but we want the extra security of having someone have eyes on our place.”

Cambridge University to slap ‘trigger warnings’ about ‘offensive’ slavery & racism content on classic children’s books – reports

The University of Cambridge is reportedly adding “trigger warnings” to children’s classics in its archive, flagging “harmful content relating to slavery, colonialism and racism”. More than 10,000 books are apparently under review.

The project, reportedly paid for by a £80,633 grant from the taxpayer-funded UK Arts and Humanities Research Council, will apparently expose authors who have been “offensive to historically enslaved, colonised or denigrated people”.
