‘Is Mickey Mouse racist?’: The row engulfing the Smithsonian
It is the foremost museum in the United States, a grand repository of 150 million artefacts sometimes nicknamed “America’s Attic”. Founded in 1846 by the British philanthropist James Smithson – who never visited America but admired its democratic ideals – the Smithsonian Institution is dedicated to “the diffusion of knowledge”.
Don’t be fooled, Big Oil is calling the shots, not Carney
Mark Carney is a very smart guy, but not as smart as the oil company executives who have him hog-tied.
In a barrage of recent announcements, Prime Minister Carney has clearly been trying to convince Canadians that he’s carefully mapped out a plan to reshape Canada into an “energy superpower” — a term popularized by former prime minister Stephen Harper.
But Carney’s energy superpower ambitions have a twist, differentiating him from Harper who was, although not an actual climate change denier, at least a close facsimile.
France Targets Online Anonymity Under the Guise of Child Protection
On July 21st, Parliament gave final approval to the bill introducing a minimum age for accessing social media in France. The legislation establishes the principle of a ban on social media for those under the age of 15. Platforms will now be required to verify the age of their users before they open or maintain an account, using a ‘double anonymity’ verification system. Users will have to prove their age to a trusted third party, which will issue a cryptographic token certifying only that they are of legal age in relation to the set threshold, without disclosing their identity to the platform. The implementation schedule is phased: from September 2026 for new accounts, then from January 2027 for existing accounts.
HUNTER: Cross-border dope smuggling bust ignores elephant in room
No one was talking about the elephant parked in the corner of the room. If they were, it was in the most hushed of tones.
A murmur could get one cancelled, so better to keep quiet, even when cops should be taking a bow for shattering a cross-border dope smuggling ring and seizing an eye-popping $139 million in drugs.
But then, there is that elephant.
Among the firearms seized by the Ontario Provincial Police from the organized crime group during Project Bay was a Lahti L-39 Anti-Tank rifle. https://t.co/jxgowz7941 pic.twitter.com/zFfbUncoCn

WTF?
🇳🇱 In the Netherlands, a woman was recording a street interview with two young Syrian migrants when a blind man walked into the frame. This sparked the anger of one of the Syrians, who then aggressively pushed the elderly man.

Carney and Trump as the Odd Couple
Canadian prime minister, Mark Carney, recently found himself embroiled in a diplomatic tiff with Trump. Both Carney and Trump have a form of Tourette’s that I recognize all too well. When asked about the forest fires in Ontario, Mark didn’t hesitate in implicating Trump as the climate arsonist. Trump shot back that Mark would not be receiving his tariff deposit back for violating our smoke-free policy.
WTF?

Our Transhumanist, Sci-Fi Future Has Arrived. But You’re Not Going To Like It
It doesn’t take a prophet or a philosopher to see that technological progress isn’t leading us into some futuristic utopia. Quite the opposite: it’s amplifying and instrumentalizing the worst aspects of human nature — for domination, for power, for the indulgence of our appetites, above all for mastery over the created order, including over death itself.
The ‘Feminists’ Who Call Out Sexism – Except When It’s Politically Inconvenient
We’re all used to his cringeworthy antics, but last month the Australian Prime Minister excelled himself. Watch him here trying out some schoolboy humour at the expense of Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi.
Is Canada More Ripe for Political Disruption Than We Think?
There is a comforting story I have heard people say for the past decade about our politics in Canada.
And it goes something like this. Canadians are different. We are practical and moderate. We do not get carried away by ideological movements or political strongmen. While other countries lurch from one political upheaval to another, Canada generally stays somewhere near the middle.
Just like how for decades people said we wouldn’t debate immigration. And that anti-immigration policy sentiment couldn’t come to Canada.
Canada is being torn apart, prepped for slaughter by the Liberal Party’s mass immigration of incompatible cultures.
Don’t for a second doubt our erasure is not deliberate.
Was Mossad Hoping to Make Mahmoud Ahmedinejad Iran’s Supreme Leader?
It sounds like pure fantasy, but then Mossad has pulled off amazing things in the past. Think only of Eli Cohen, for many years a friend and confidant of members of the highest political echelon in Syria, attending dinner parties with them, and with generals, too, in Damascus. Or of Nasser’s son-in-law Ashraf Marwan, who was a Mossad agent for years. Or of Sylvia Raphael, who posed as a Canadian photojournalist as part of the team hunting down those responsible for the murders in Munich of Israeli athletes. Or of Erika Chambers, who killed Ali Hassan Salameh in Beirut. Or of Wolfgang Lotz, who pretended to be a Nazi in Egypt during the 1960s, where he helped the Mossad discover the identities of German arms scientists working for Nasser, was shown by his Egyptian army friends where rocket launchers were located, and much more. He was so vocal with his feigned antisemitism that the Egyptians thought he must have been a former SS officer. Those are a few of Mossad’s agents. There are so many tales of derring-do and spycraft by Mossad agents that have still not been made public, and may never be.
Why an Oxfordshire village has erupted over illegal immigration
Piddington, a small village in Oxfordshire, might seem like an unlikely centre of revolutionary discontent. But even the residents of sleepy hollows associated with hobby farms, market gardens and village cricket seem to have their limits. In response to the government’s plans to accommodate over a thousand male asylum seekers at a nearby military base, outraged residents have decided to hold a referendum on whether to declare their ‘independence’ from the United Kingdom.
A Trucker and an Investigative Reporter, One Week Before the Punjabi Narco-Trucker Indictments Came Down
OTTAWA — When Gord Magill asked me onto his podcast on July 1, I said yes for a reason I don’t often get to act on. Magill is not commenting from a distance. He is a third-generation trucker who has driven the ice roads of northern Canada, the Australian outback and the American interstate system, and who wrote End of the Road: Inside the War on Truckers.
When a practitioner who has spent thirty years in the cab wants to talk about how North American workers are getting squeezed out of a critical industry by immigration scams, or as I explain, how transnational organized crime has exploited our borders and vulnerable migrants to capture an essential economic tie between the U.S. and Canada, threaten our national security and sovereignty, and move cartel loads through the freight system, that is a conversation worth having, and worth sharing with readers of The Bureau.
Dangerous Tunisian sex predator who attacked five women in 90-minute rampage as he prowled the streets of Jersey is found guilty
A dangerous Tunisian sexual predator has been convicted of attacking five women in just 90 minutes on Jersey, including attempting to rape one of his victims.
Abdelkarim Arfaoui, 27, showed no remorse, insisting he had merely been asking women for directions because he was new to the Channel Islands.
As Arfaoui was led away to prison after being convicted of all 10 charges at Jersey’s Royal Court, he refused to apologise to his victims, most of whom were attacked on their way to work.
