VIDEO: We’ve reached peak racial Stockholm Syndrome

Stockholm Syndrome describes a captive who has formed a psychological bond with his captors. That term describes perfectly a white man, somewhere in America, who began weeping at the thought that his call to the police about a black man brandishing a weapon and threatening to kill him resulted in the black man’s arrest.

Magic Mushrooms. LSD. Ketamine. The Drugs That Power Silicon Valley.

Entrepreneurs including Elon Musk and Sergey Brin are part of a drug movement that proponents hope will expand minds, enhance lives and produce business breakthroughs

Elon Musk takes ketamine. Sergey Brin sometimes enjoys magic mushrooms. Executives at venture-capital firm Founders Fund, known for its investments in SpaceX and Facebook, have thrown parties that include psychedelics.

Routine drug use has moved from an after-hours activity squarely into corporate culture, leaving boards and business leaders to wrestle with their responsibilities for a workforce that frequently uses. At the vanguard are tech executives and employees who see psychedelics and similar substances, among them psilocybin, ketamine and LSD, as gateways to business breakthroughs.

Trudeau says opposition has to promise to believe his insane bullshit before launching new foreign interference probe

Trudeau says ‘full buy-in’ from opposition needed before launching new foreign interference probe

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the federal government won’t be announcing any next steps on probing foreign interference until the Liberals get “full buy-in” from the opposition parties, to avoid the process devolving as it did under former special rapporteur David Johnston.

“As we put forward proposals to the other parties on how we can move forward to restore Canadians’ confidence in our abilities to fight foreign interference, we will ensure before we launch any next process, that there is full buy-in by the other parties on how it will be done, and who will do it,” Trudeau told reporters on Wednesday.

OTTAWA — Statistics Canada says the country welcomed more than 145,000 immigrants during the first three months of the year.

That’s the highest number for a single quarter on record, since comparable data became available in 1972.

No one in the PC Party has spoken out about this assault on Canada.

Rex Murphy: Ontario school board ‘cultivates’ vapid verbiage while its students and teachers suffer

Joseph Brean very recently wrote an excellent article about a school in crisis in Mississauga, Ont. The substance of his article was a cri de coeur about rampant violence in the hallways, threats against staff, and the school board’s heavy-handed response to a teacher who dared to speak out. It is a frightening account.

The article included comments from a Peel District School Board spokesperson. It is these remarks I’d like to deal with, particularly the jargon-infested, warm-dough language, non-substance reply to Brean’s questions.

Falling Soldier image really was faked, says Spanish researcher

An image that became synonymous with the Spanish Civil War and catapulted the photographer Robert Capa to fame is a fake, new research has confirmed.

The Falling Soldier, showing a Spanish fighter apparently frozen in the moment of his death, was published by Life magazine in 1937. The caption read: “Robert Capa’s camera captures the instant when a Spanish soldier is shot in the head by a bullet on the Cordoba front”

Ford says he seeks ‘common ground’ with Chow on housing, repeats pledge to redevelop Ontario Place

Ontario Premier Doug Ford is pledging to work with Toronto mayor-elect Olivia Chow on common issues such as building more affordable housing, but urged her to get the city’s finances under control and vowed to forge ahead with his government’s plans to redevelop waterfront site Ontario Place over her objections.

Mr. Ford congratulated Ms. Chow for winning Monday’s mayoral by-election, despite previously warning that her election would be an “unmitigated disaster” for the city and endorsing rival candidate Mark Saunders, who finished a distant third.

They are lizard people.

Humans are pumping out so much groundwater that it’s changing Earth’s tilt

Earth’s tilt has changed by 31.5 inches (80 centimeters) between 1993 and 2010 because of the amount of groundwater humans have pumped from the planet’s interior.

In that period, humans removed 2,150 gigatons of water from natural reservoirs in the planet’s crust. If such an amount was poured into the global ocean, its surface would rise by 0.24 inches (6 millimeters). A new study has now revealed that displacing such an enormous amount of water has had an effect on the axis around which the planet spins.

Biden-Backed Battery Plant Relies On Tech From CCP-Led Chinese Firm

A U.S. battery maker backed by the Biden administration relies on technology from a Chinese Communist Party-led company, according to a Daily Caller News Foundation review of Chinese media reports.

The Department of Energy (DOE) awarded KORE Power, a U.S.-based battery firm, an $850 million loan in early June to construct its “KOREPlex” battery-cell production facility in Arizona. DOE billed the loan as part of the administration’s efforts to “onshore [electric vehicle] supply chains.” However, KOREPlex will rely on technology from the firm’s long-time Chinese manufacturing partner, Do-Flouride New Materials (DFD), DOE Loan Programs Office (LPO) Director Jigar Shah said in an interview Wednesday.
