New York Times Admits Nazi Symbology at Heart of Ukraine Army.

Ukrainian soldiers are displaying Nazi iconography on their uniforms, the New York Times has finally accepted, even admitting that “diplomats, Western journalists and advocacy groups” avoid making mention of it, therefore allowing it to spread.

As an example, the “Black Sun” symbol, which appeared in the castle of the Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler, is regularly appearing on the uniforms of Ukrainian soldiers.

Even Jewish groups and anti-hate organizations that have traditionally called out hateful symbols have stayed largely silent. Privately, some leaders have worried about being seen as embracing Russian propaganda talking points.

– New York Times, June 2023

Both corporate and social media have gone to extreme lengths to cover for Nazi and Neo-Nazi activity at the heart of Ukraine’s war effort. In 2022, Facebook created a special exemption for the nation’s Azov battalion, known for using Nazi overtones. The Washington Post finally admitted to the role of Azov and its relationship with Nazism last year. PBS in fact tried to cover-up for some of the Nazi imagery by blurring the background of a Ukrainian politician.

Poland’s Ex-PM Regrets Pushing Too Far on Abortion as New Globalist Govt Set to Liberalize Laws.

Mateusz Morawiecki, the former national populist Prime Minister of Poland, has expressed his regret at conservatives pushing abortion restrictions further than the public would tolerate while in office. His Law and Justice (PiS) party has now been displaced by a globalist coalition, which wants not just to reverse the changes but also liberalize abortion far beyond the status quo ante.

Abortion was already restricted relatively strongly when PiS entered office, with exceptions for rape, danger to the life of the mother, and cases where the unborn baby was found to have defects — an arrangement known as the “abortion compromise.” Conservative appointees to the country’s Constitutional Tribunal eliminated the last of these exceptions, intended to allow women to end unviable pregnancies, in 2020, ruling it was being used to target babies with conditions such as Down’s Syndrome in a discriminatory manner.

Abortion was weaponized by the left in Poland’s 2023 elections. While PiS remained the largest party, a coalition of smaller globalist and left-wing parties combined to take over the government. Two of the three major factions in the new government now wish to not only restore the defects exception but also legalize abortion up to 12 weeks.

“If I could turn back time, yes, I would do it. I think the compromise was a bad thing, but much better than what may await us in the future,” lamented Morawiecki.

Donald Trump has often cautioned pro-life campaigners against pushing for abortion restrictions that do not enjoy broad public support. He argued that while people should “follow their heart” on the issue, conservatives “have to win elections” to stop leftist politicians from gaining power and advancing extreme policies such as legalizing abortion up to birth.

Manchester Arena Bomber

Ariana Grande Concert Bombing Survivors Sue MI5 Over Terror Failings.

Over 250 survivors of the Ariana Grande concert bombing in Manchester, England, have united to take legal action against Britain’s security service, MI5, over its failings in the lead-up to the attack.

The suicide bombing at Manchester Arena, which killed 22 and injured over 100, including many children and teenagers, was carried out by Salman Abedi, the son of a Libyan Islamist granted refugee status by the British government.

Official inquiries have found MI5 made several severe failures before Abedi — who was flagged to the domestic security service 18 times prior to the attack — carried out the bombing.

Local law enforcement has also faced criticism for its failures before the attack. Greater Manchester Police (GMP) was aware of Abedi communicating with a convicted extremist three years before the bombing, in which he insulted non-Muslims as “dogs” and “kuffars” and expressed his desire for “martyrdom.”

On the night of the attack, officers for the British Transport Police (BTP) were not present at Manchester Arena because they were indulging in an unauthorized, two-hour dinner break. Abedi was reported to on-site security guards because he was praying and acting erratically at the entrance to the arena while wearing a large rucksack, but they refused to intervene because they were “scared” they would be “branded racist.”

Trudeau Xi

Public Inquiry Finds Chinese Election Interference Aided Justin Trudeau – Is The Same Tactic Happening Here?

Revelations in February that the Chinese communist government sought to interfere in the past two Canadian elections on behalf of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the ruling Liberal Party have sparked a public inquiry in Ottowa. Over the past three weeks, the inquiry commission has heard testimony from top Trudeau government aides, national security and intelligence officials, and the Prime Minister himself. Despite Trudeau’s insistence that the 2019 and 2021 Canadian elections were “free and fair,” testimony from intelligence officials suggests otherwise.

‘CHINA GOT THE OUTCOME IT WANTED.’

“It would just seem very improbable that the Chinese government itself would have a preference in the election,” Prime Minister Trudeau testified last week before the inquiry, which Quebec Court of Appeal Justice Marie-Josée Hogue heads. However, intelligence documents made public in the course of the inquiry detail a sophisticated and concerted effort by agents acting on behalf of China to push Chinese-Canadian voters to back Liberal Party candidates over their Conservative Party opponents. In response to the proceedings, The Washington Post concluded: “China got the outcome it wanted in 2021 — the reelection of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau with a minority government.”

A Canadian intelligence investigation into Chinese activities during the 2021 election concluded that the communist regime used Chinese immigrants, members of their diplomatic service, political proxies, as well as Chinese-language news outlets to induce — or even coerce — Chinese-Canadian voters to back candidates they viewed as friendly or open to Beijing’s global agenda.

While this meant pushing Liberal Party candidates in 2019 and 2021, there is concerning evidence that the Conservatives may also be the subject to Beijing’s influence. Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre has sought to improve the party’s standing among Chinese-Canadians. In January, Poilievre appeared at a Toronto Chinese community event alongside several individuals with extensive ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

U.S. IMPLICATIONS.

The Chinese efforts to influence Canadian elections also hold stark implications for the United States. The ongoing immigration crisis at the U.S. southern border has seen a historic number of Chinese enter the country illegally. Many of these individuals are men of military age whom U.S officials know little about — raising concerns about their roles in potential Chinese intelligence operations in America.

Colorado Semiauto Ban

Colorado House Passes Semiautomatic Firearm Ban.

On Sunday, Colorado‘s Democratic-majority House advanced a measure aimed at banning the sale and transfer of semiautomatic firearms. The bill, which got through on a 35-27 vote, is set to be introduced next in the Democratic-led state Senate.

Should the legislation succeed, Colorado would join other states, including California, Illinois, and New York, in instituting such bans. However, the proposed bill potentially faces tougher opposition in the state Senate than it did in the House. Governor Jared Polis, a Democrat, has also expressed hesitation towards the concept in the past.

Democrats previously passed four more moderate gun control bills, signed into law by Gov. Polis. These cover raising the legal firearm purchasing age, instituting a waiting period between gun purchase and receipt, adjusting the state’s red flag law, and modifying legal protections for the gun industry. These actions followed a mass shooting at an LGBTQ+ nightclub that left five people dead.

Opponents, largely Republicans, have labeled the proposed law as an excessive encroachment on the Second Amendment, arguing that it does not address root issues like mental health and societal value for life.

It appears that the Biden regime is emboldening anti-Second Amendment Democrats. The Colorado bill follows the introduction of a draconian national bill by Democrats in Congress that seeks to ban gun ranges and private security.

Meta Quest Classrooms

Zuckerberg Pushes for Meta VR in School Classrooms.

Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, is launching a new product line for their virtual reality (VR) Quest headsets targeted at educators for classroom use. Nick Clegg, former Deputy Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and President of Global Affairs at the multi-national social media giant, made the announcement on Meta’s website, stating: “Of all the ways in which metaverse technologies like virtual, mixed and augmented reality could prove to be transformative, the potential they have for education is one of the most exciting.”

Clegg makes clear that Meta‘s interests, however, aren’t purely altruistic. In his post, he notes, “Education and training providers represent a considerable market for technology products.” While Clegg and Meta tout the alleged benefits of using VR in the classroom, their claims it increases student safety may be one of the more suspect. The National Pulse reported that a study by the British National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children indicated that pedophiles use online VR spaces to exploit children both on the internet and eventually in the real world.

The presence of VR in classrooms also raises concerns about how certain programs may be used to influence or even indoctrinate students, forcing them into digital experiences that don’t necessarily reflect socio-political reality. A VR program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) came under heavy criticism last year for allowing users to experience alleged incidents of discrimination as a virtual Muslin individual in an exchange with a fellow airline passenger.

Biden Border

Biden’s So-Called ‘Nuclear’ Border Option is Just Basic Trump-Era Policy.

The “nuclear option” being considered by Joe Biden to tackle the border crisis reportedly amounts to little more than reviving baseline Donald Trump administration policies.

While the White House has argued it cannot protect the border without the passage of a controversial Senate bill focused primarily on aid for Ukraine and Israel, rumors have circulated for weeks that Biden may take executive action to mitigate the crisis, which is hurting the Democrats in the polls.

Touted as a “nuclear option,” reports now indicate he would merely resort to section 212(f) of the federal code, previously used by Donald Trump to restrict immigration from several countries deemed to be terror risks, immigrants without health insurance, and immigrants in general during the coronavirus pandemic.

Section 212(f) empowers the President to “suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants” if their entry “would be detrimental to the interests of the United States.”

Biden has seemed indifferent as to whether or not any executive action actually stops the border crisis, however, telling Univision: “Some are suggesting that I should just go ahead and try it, and if I get shut down by the court, I get shut down by the court.” An outright majority of Americans believe he has been  “encouraging” illegal aliens to enter the United States to “create a permanent majority” for the Democrats.

Since is inauguration, the 81-year-old Democrat has overseen an influx of at least 9.4 million illegal aliens, on course to match all legal immigrants processed at Ellis Island from 1892 to 1954.

Civil War 2024

DATA: Just 5% of ‘Civil War’ Moviegoers Identify As Conservative.

A24’s latest film, Civil War, debuted with an impressive $25.7M opening, largely supported by Democrat and Liberal moviegoers.

Data collected by Screen Engine/Comscore’s PostTrak revealed that 22 percent of the movie’s audience identified as Liberal and 19 percent identified as Democrats, with Republicans and conservatives representing a smaller demographic. Only six percent of audience members described themselves as Republicans or Evangelical Christians, respectively. Just five percent identified as politically conservative.

The film, which former screenwriter and resident Breitbart film critic John Nolte described as a “ridiculously dopey, anti-Trump snuff film,” depicts the eruption of civil war through the eyes of a photojournalist, played by Kirsten Dunst, after secessionist forces rebel against an authoritarian President who is serving an unconstitutional third term. The President, played by Nick Offerman, is a barely-concealed caricature of former President Donald Trump.

Large, left-leaning markets such as L.A., San Francisco, and Washington, D.C., were strongholds for the film. The film’s release date — just months before the November Presidential election — is widely seen as intentional. “Civil War‘s timing surely isn’t a coincidence, as it hits cinemas amid a contentious election year in which President Biden and former President Trump are once again the leading candidates for their respective parties and Trump seeks to return to the White House,” reported Hollywood Reporter.

Marg Bar America

‘Death to America’ Chants in Chicago As Local Muslims, Leftists Laud Iran’s ‘Resistance.’

Hundreds of Islamists and far-left activists converged on the Teamsters Union headquarters in Chicago to learn anti-America and anti-Israel chants on Saturday. News of Iran’s mass drone and missile attack on Israel broke during the meeting, prompting cheers of support, followed by demands Israel and the U.S. refrain from retaliating.

News of the attack earned applause from the crowd of around 300 Islamists and leftist ideologues, most of whom sported N95 masks. “Iran is part of the arc of resistance because the enemies are Israel and the USA,” declared one attendee. She listed Hezbollah, Yemen, and the Syrian government as allies in that resistance, according to reporting by The Free Press.

Despite cheering the Iranian strikes, the meeting switched back to anti-war mode when Palestinian Community Network leader Hatem Abudayyeh warned they would “have to assume that the United States is going to try to retaliate against Iran,” prompting cries of “shame!”

Abudayyeh, whose house was raided by the FBI in 2010 amid an investigation into “material support of terrorism,” told the crowd it was “incumbent” on Americans to “stop the United States from expanding this war and hitting Iran.”

“We’ve got to be the strong, powerful anti-war movement that we are,” Abudayyeh said, prompting chants of “Hands off Iran!”

‘DEATH TO AMERICA!’ 

The Freedom Road Socialist Organization, represented at the meeting by an activist who called the October 7 attack on Israel a “good turn of events,” subsequently put out a statement headlined with the “Hands off Iran!” slogan, saying the U.S. and Israel “bear the entire responsibility for what is happening.”

Before the Iranian attack, Anti-War Committee Chicago organizer Shabbir Rizvi had taught around 80 enthusiastic attendees how to chantMarg bar Israel” and “Marg bar America,” Persian for “Death to Israel” and “Death to America.”

His audience included at least one man wearing a Soviet flag.

‘Rust’ Armorer Gets 18 Months in Prison, Alec Baldwin’s Trial Approaches.

Hannah Guttierez-Reed, the head armorer on the set of the Alec Baldwin film Rust, was sentenced on Monday to 18 months in prison for the 2021 fatal on-set shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins by Alec Baldwin. Gutierrez-Reed was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in March.

However, Guttierez-Reed may not be the only individual who faces a jail sentence over Hutchins’s death. Baldwin, who was the star of the film and its co-producer, was indicted — for a second time — for involuntary manslaughter by a grand jury in January. His trial is set for July 10.

Baldwin stands accused of killing Hutchins either through negligence or “total disregard or indifference” for safety on set. Gutierrez-Reed’s attorney argued that the armorer was being set up as a scapegoat and that Baldwin was truly responsible for Hutchins’s death.

“It was not in the script for Mr Baldwin to point the weapon,” defense attorney Jason Bowles said during trial. “She didn’t know that Mr. Baldwin was going to do what he did.”

Barron Trump

Judge May Force Trump to Miss Son Barron’s High School Graduation.

The Democrat-connected judge presiding over the New York hush money trial of former President Donald Trump acknowledged that he received a request to excuse the former President from the court on May 17 so that he could attend his son Barron Trump‘s high school graduation in Florida. New York Supreme Court Judge Juan Merchan said he wouldn’t immediately rule on the request, adding: “It really depends on if we are on time and where we are in the trial.”

Earlier on Monday, Merchan announced the trial schedule, noting that the court would work through lunch on April 22 and April 23 — the first two days of the Jewish celebration of Passover. He added that the court would not convene on the last two days of Passover, April 29 and April 30.

In addition to former President Trump’s request to attend his son’s graduation, one of District Attorney Alvin Bragg‘s prosecution team members requested the court adjourn on June 3 so they may attend their child’s graduation. Aside from the requested adjournments and court schedule around Passover, the judge announced that the trial would not convene on Wednesdays.

The initial stage of the trial, jury selection, began on Monday. That process is expected to take upwards of two weeks, meaning the argument stage of the trial won’t start until the end of April or early May.

Judge Merchan recently expanded a gag order on former President Trump, effectively barring him from mentioning the judge’s family members and those of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. The former President has used social media to draw attention to the fact that Judge Merchan’s daughter has numerous ties to prominent Democrat politicians, including New York Attorney General Letitia James.
