Canadian Govt on the Brink as WEF Globalist Steps Down as Deputy Prime Minister.

Canada’s globalist Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister, Chrystia Freeland, has resigned shortly before releasing a fiscal update, claiming that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called on her to leave last Friday. The resignation follows what Freeland described as growing differences with Prime Minister Trudeau over the country’s economic direction.

In a letter shared on social media, Freeland detailed that Trudeau informed her last Friday of his desire for a change in the finance portfolio. Freeland acknowledged that she had lost the Prime Minister’s confidence. She declined an offer for a different ministerial role but expressed her desire to remain active in politics by running in the next federal election.

Freeland and Trudeau have reportedly disagreed on various issues. Freeland is concerned about the threat of 25 percent tariffs mentioned by President-elect Donald J. Trump, who is pressuring Canada to secure its border. In her letter, she described Trudeau as engaging in “costly political gimmicks, which we can ill afford” rather than taking Trump’s tariff threat seriously.

Freeland has been one of Trudeau’s closest allies over the years and is a noted globalist, working directly with the World Economic Forum (WEF) as a member of the Forum’s Board of Trustees.

Part Ukrainian, Freeland has also been a hawk regarding the war between Russia and Ukraine and has been banned from entering Russia for years. Controversially, her grandfather was a Nazi sympathizer during the Second World War, running a pro-Nazi newspaper.

In September of last year, Freeland was one of the Liberal Party members who greeted Ukrainian Waffen SS veteran Jaroslav Hunka in the Canadian parliament during President Volodymyr Zelensky’s visit.

Congress Faces Friday Deadline to Avert Partial Government Shutdown.

Congressional leaders are facing a pressing deadline as they work to avert a partial government shutdown by the end of the week. With the clock ticking, negotiators have been engaged in intensive talks over the weekend to hammer out an agreement, though House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has not yet presented a framework for a deal.

The official text of the proposed legislation is anticipated to be released on Monday or Tuesday following the finalization of ongoing negotiations. A significant point of contention in these discussions has been the issue of aid to farmers, which Democrats do not want to approve without various concessions. Conversely, farm district Republicans are warning they will not back a funding bill that does not include aid for farmers.

This potential government shutdown looms at a time of considerable fiscal pressure, with the national debt now standing at $36.1 trillion. Lawmakers failing to reach an agreement could lead to disruptions in federal services and programs, affecting millions of Americans. It is also likely that any funding bill will include billions of dollars in aid for victims of Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton, leaving any lawmakers who oppose other aspects of the legislation open to bad faith criticisms for not endorsing the bill in its entirety.

Assad Breaks Silence, Claims He Intended to Continue Fighting from Russian Base.

Former Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad has issued his first statement since his ouster by Turkey-backed jihadist rebels, denying he fled the country as “part of a plan” and claiming he initially intended to carry on fighting from the Alawite heartland of Latakia. “As terrorism spread across Syria and ultimately reached Damascus on the evening of Saturday 7 December 2024, questions arose about the president’s fate and whereabouts,” reads the statement—posted to a Telegram account associated with the Syrian presidency but not yet independently verified. It complains of “a flood of misinformation and narratives far removed from the truth, aimed at recasting international terrorism as a liberation revolution for Syria.”

Assad, if he is the author of the statement, said he traveled to the Russian airbase of Hmeimim in Latakia, only hours after rebel forces had entered Damascus, intending to “oversee combat operations.” Latakia is home to most of Syria’s Alawite minority, which the Assad clan hails from, and he may have hoped members of the Shia offshoot sect would offer stiffer resistance to the mostly Sunni jihadists of the Hayʼat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) group than government forces elsewhere.

However, Assad claims he found that Syrian soldiers had already left their posts and that the Russians made the decision to exfiltrate after Hmeimim began to be targeted by drones.

“With no viable means of leaving the base, Moscow requested that the base’s command arrange an immediate evacuation to Russia on the evening of Sunday 8 December,” Assad said. “This took place a day after the fall of Damascus, following the collapse of the final military positions and the resulting paralysis of all remaining state institutions.”

NO PLAN TO LEAVE. 

“At no point during these events did I consider stepping down or seeking refuge, nor was such a proposal made by any individual or part,” Assad insisted, claiming that, in his mind, the “only course of action was to continue fighting against the terrorist onslaught,” and he “did not leave the country as part of a plan as it was reported earlier.”

The whereabouts of Assad, his wife Asma, and their three children were initially unclear. Russian officials later confirmed their departure following negotiations with rebels. There are concerns hundreds of thousands of Syrians, including Alawites like Assad, may attempt to leave the country like their former leader, fearing reprisals by the al-Qaeda-linked new regime.

REPORT: CNN Freed Notorious Assad Torturer, Claimed He Was an Imprisoned Dissident.

CNN, which continues to bleed viewers and struggle to remain solvent, claimed a man in Syria they helped free last week was a political prisoner of the Assad regime. However, the individual is now believed to be a notorious regime torturer who disguised himself to evade capture.

In a video that has gone viral online, CNN journalist Clarissa Ward and a camera crew—accompanied by a Syrian rebel solider—help escort a man identifying himself as Adel Ghurbal from a Damascus prison. According to Ghurbal, he had been imprisoned 90 days before the fall of the Syrian capital and was confined to a windowless cell. However, the man’s behavior appeared strange to many who viewed the video.

While Ghurbal claimed to have not seen sunlight in 90 days, he didn’t wince when outdoors in the sun again. Additionally, Ghurbal was well groomed for someone confined to a damp and dark cell for three months—his hair and fingernails appeared well-kept, and he showed no signs of torture commonly seen in other prisons freed by the rebels.

NOTORIOUS TORTURER.

However, analysis by the independent Syrian civil war fact checker Verify-Sy suggests that the prisoner’s real name is not Adel Ghurbal at all. Instead, the man in the video is actually believed to be Salama Mohammad Salama. A first lieutenant in Syrian Air Force intelligence, Salama is an alleged war criminal and one of the Assad regime’s top torturers, who would often extort prisoners for money in exchange for not torturing them.

According to local Damascus residents, Salama was confined in the prison for just a few weeks following a dispute with a superior over dividing the extortion money.

CNN says it is aware that the man in its video may have given a false identity and is investigating the matter.

Britain’s Economic Preference: Socialism Over Capitalism?

Polling suggests that the general public in the United Kingdom is more favorable to socialism than capitalism, although environmentalism is the most popular ideology overall. Socialism in Britain has long been linked to institutions like the National Health Service (NHS), which remains one of the most popular institutions in the country, despite major scandals.

Despite the results, broadly socialist candidates like former Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn have failed to win elections.

Conservatism, which came third in the polling by YouGov, is also largely associated with the Conservative Party, which just suffered a historic loss to the Labour Party in the national election in July. However, the Conservatives, or Tories, legalized same-sex marriages and presided over the rise of woke ideology in Britain, and are not socially conservative in any meaningful, ideological sense.

Populism, often associated with the rise of Brexit leader Nigel Farage’s Reform Party, is only slightly more popular than communism among Britons. Reform, however, does not refer to itself as a “populist” party, referring to its anti-mass migration stance and other policies as “common sense.”

Reform is becoming increasingly popular in Britain, with polls showing the party ahead of Labour, which has a large majority in parliament and currently governs the country under Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer.

While the Tories are number one in the polls, their lead is not significantly ahead of Reform, and as many as 53 percent of Tory members support the party joining forces with Farage in either an alliance or outright merger.

BREAKING: ABC, George Stephanopoulos to Pay $15M to Trump in Rape Defamation Suit.

ABC News and its anchor, George Stephanopoulos, have reached a settlement with President-elect Donald Trump in a defamation lawsuit. The agreement, filed publicly on Saturday, will see ABC News pay Trump $15 million as a charitable contribution toward his Presidential foundation and museum. In addition, the network will cover $1 million in Trump’s attorney fees.

The settlement arises from a lawsuit Trump filed after Stephanopoulos made claims during a March 2024 interview on “This Week” that Trump had been found liable for rape. These statements were made in an interview with Rep. Nancy Mace following a civil case involving E. Jean Carroll, where the jury found Trump liable for sexual abuse, not rape, under New York law. The settlement includes ABC News and Stephanopoulos releasing a statement of “regret” over the inaccurate claims, which will be included as an editor’s note in the related article.

Despite challenging the lawsuit and claiming he wouldn’t be intimidated, Stephanopoulos now agrees to the terms. The settlement follows U.S. Magistrate Judge Lisette M. Reid’s order for a deposition ahead of a December 24 deadline for a motion for summary judgment, potentially avoiding a trial.

This settlement comes amid several legal developments for Trump. Federal Judge Tanya Chutkan recently dismissed Special Counsel Jack Smith’s case against Trump concerning the 2020 election. Additionally, in New York, Trump was granted the right to pursue dismissal of the charges in a case led by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. Trump continues to pursue legal action against CBS News, seeking $10 billion in damages over alleged deceptive conduct.

Biden Faces Backlash Over Clemency for ‘Kids for Cash’ Judge & Corrupt Ohio Official.

President Joe Biden is facing mounting backlash over his decision to grant clemency to a state judge responsible for the “kids for cash” scandal and an Ohio county’s corrupt commissioner. As part of a broader pardon and clemency announcement impacting approximately 1,500 individuals—the largest in U.S. history—Biden commuted the prison sentences for former Luzerne County, Pennsylvania judge Michael T. Conahan and Cuyahoga County, Ohio commissioner Jimmy Dimora.

Conahan was involved in a notorious “kids for cash” scandal where he received kickbacks for sentencing juveniles to for-profit detention centers. In 2010, he pleaded guilty to federal racketeering charges and was sentenced to 17.5 years in prison. His sentence was shortened during the COVID-19 pandemic when he was granted compassionate release to home confinement in 2020. His time spent in home confinement appears to have made him eligible for the commutation.

Meanwhile, Dimora was previously convicted of accepting bribes over several years. According to information from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Ohio, Dimora received over $166,000 in bribes, which included monetary payments, home renovations, extravagant dining experiences, services from sex workers, and gambling excursions in Las Vegas and Canada. His actions, in return, involved directing contracts to certain individuals, helping acquaintances secure jobs and salary increases, and lobbying for beneficial loans and grants.

Initially sentenced in 2012 to 28 years of imprisonment, Dimora has consistently denied involvement in criminal activities. He had sought clemency from President Barack Obama during his term but was not granted it.

Biden defended his decision, stating that individuals released to home confinement during the pandemic have successfully reintegrated into their communities. Critics, including The Washington Post’s Heather Long, condemned Conahan’s commutation, highlighting the judge’s negative impact on the public trust and many children’s lives.

Migration-Background Man Sentenced for Raping Healthcare Worker to Death.

A migration-background man has been sentenced to life in prison for raping a British healthcare worker to death as she lay unconscious on a public bench in London. Mohamed Iidow, 35, was found guilty of raping and killing National Health Service (NHS) worker Natalie Shotter when she was asleep in a London park after a night of drinking in 2021. The mother of three died of a heart attack as Iidow orally raped her several times while she lay deeply unconscious on a bench.

CCTV footage captured Iidow moving her body into different positions as he repeatedly raped her. Following the rape, Iidow drove to a gas station, where he nonchalantly bought cat food and mouthwash before going back to his home.

A jury found Iidow guilty of rape and manslaughter in October, and the court has now handed him a life sentence with a minimum term of 10 years and eight months in prison. They were not, however, told of his prior convictions for attempting to groom minors online.

Claims are circulating that Iidow is an illegal immigrant, including by anti-grooming gang activist Tommy Robinson. However, an official press release and corporate media reports are studiously avoiding making any mention of his immigration status. The National Pulse has asked London’s Old Bailey to clarify the matter but has not received a reply as of this article’s publication.

Migrants from some countries are statistically far more likely to commit crimes than British nationals. Ministry of Justice (MOJ) figures state that Albanians, for instance, have an incarceration rate of over 232 people per 100,000. The British-born British incarceration rate stands at just 14.27 per 100,000.

Farage’s Reform Party Gains Ground, Winning Another Seat from Labour.

Nigel Farage’s Reform Party has gained another council seat from the ruling Labour Party. In a local by-election held in St Helens, Liverpool, on Thursday night, Reform candidate Victor Floyd secured victory in the Blackbrook ward, defeating Labour’s Sally Yeoman.

Since Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s election in July, Labour has experienced a series of local setbacks. Twenty-five councilors were lost across 172 local by-elections, and Labour’s vote share decreased by over eight percent. Many have expressed dissatisfaction with Labour and Prime Minister Starmer, with a petition demanding fresh elections receiving over two million signatures last month.

Reform has won six additional municipal seats since July, including a seat on the Wolverhampton council last month, which was also taken from Labour.

In other by-elections conducted on Thursday, Reform’s vote share showed significant growth, including strong performances in Barnsley and Stock, Essex, where the party placed second, with over 20 percent of the vote.

Reform policies on mass migration and other issues resonate with many voters, and some polls suggest the party could already be as popular or even more popular than the ruling Labour Party.

While Reform is progressing in the polls, some have expressed a desire to see Farage’s party either form an alliance with the Conservatives or even merge. Polling of Conservative Party members suggests that just over half of the party supports the idea.

Bank of America Didn’t Report Epstein’s Suspicious Payments Until a Year After His Death.

In 2020, Bank of America posthumously flagged possibly suspicious payments involving billionaire Leon Black and Jeffrey Epstein, the pedophile financier who died awaiting trial for sex trafficking. The bank submitted two suspicious activity reports (SARs) to regulators. The timing of the filings has prompted congressional investigators to question the possibility of federal money laundering law violations by Bank of America.

Authorities use such reports to alert them to possible crimes, including money laundering and terrorism financing. According to a congressional memorandum, these reports were filed in February 2020 and again eight months later—but the transactions, totaling $170 million, had occurred years prior.

The bank, which did not scrutinize these transactions for their purpose, processed the payments without seeking additional information.

Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon’s staff prepared a congressional memo under the direction of the Senate Finance Committee chairman. The memo recommends that the Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network scrutinize Bank of America’s actions. The committee has been investigating the payments from Black to Epstein for almost two years.

According to money laundering experts, U.S. banks file millions of these reports confidentially with regulators each year, often significantly after transactions occur. Reasons for delayed reporting may include banks being unaware of the need to investigate or reluctance to scrutinize affluent clients.

A spokesman for Senator Wyden stated that he is reviewing the recommendations and is likely to pursue further action.
