Bloody man is found walking down Spanish motorway with a knife in his hand after mutilating his genitals in a greenhouse.

There’s an episode of Seinfeld where Kramer tries to explain to Jerry how big companies “just write off” expenses they can’t recoup. It seems that Canada is now run by Cosmo Kramer. I’m sure the losses were worth every penny when it comes to keeping Grandma safe though.
But when the government expects not to be paid back, it writes off the debt and strikes it from its ledgers.
Audits of the government’s consolidated financial statements for the last fiscal year show Ottawa wrote off $4.5 billion tied to COVID-19 benefits — up sharply from $26 million the previous year.

“You cannot enjoy a painting of an ocean if its very being is subject to your mental wrangling.”
To wit, as the lawyers say, within every great painting you can find startling abstractions—wave-like flows, juxtapositions of color, expressive patterns and the shattering of patterns, stirring contrasts, hypnotic forms, etc. But within even the most magnificent abstractions you cannot find great paintings. In every Raphael there are a hundred million de Koonings. In de Kooning there is not a single Raphael. You can break a $10,000 Federal Reserve Certificate into a million pennies, but you cannot, from a penny, make a $10,000 bill. – From “Against The Dehumanization of Art” Mark Helprin
painting by Ivan Aivazovsky (1817–1900)

Unbeknownst to most, there is a 1944 manual entitled “Simple Sabotage Techniques” from the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), which is the predecessor of the CIA. Here’s a page from it.
In September 2025, there were warning signs that this manual was being used by bureaucrats inside of HHS and CDC.

Import South America, become South America.
“We call it shopping,” Supervisor Detective Carlos Monteroso of the LAPD’s Cargo Theft Task Force told the California Post. “The crews break into individual containers until they find what they’re looking for that’s high value. Then they’ll do their thing.”
Insiders working at the Port of Los Angeles have access to computer files with sensitive information about valuable train loads, investigators say, feeding those tips to crime bosses who dispatch their cavalries to remote train tracks. [….]
As masked bandits cut into containers with electric handsaws, dozens of accomplices will arrive at the tracks in vans, SUVs and box trucks, sometimes filming the heists and posting them online.
“You’re seeing 20 guys, offloading several hundreds or thousands of boxes,” the detective said. “You know, just taking as much of the property as they can.”
When They Tell You Who They Are
No one believes them. In a chilling escalation of the anti-Semitic politics, leftist groups today will hold a protest against Jewish businesses in Philadelphia on the 88th anniversary of Kristallnacht, when Nazis attacked Jewish businesses before the Holocaust…
I love it when a plan falls apart: Lines at the Jewish-owned businesses stretched out the door as supporters publicly come out to back them.

B.C.’s Human Rights Tribunal has ordered LifeLabs and a subsidiary to pay $32,000 to three transgender and non-binary people for “injury to their dignity” after separate instances of discrimination.
Tribunal member Theressa Etmanski said in her decision, posted last week, that LifeLabs and its subsidiary Excelleris Technologies misgendered and outed the three patients at service centres in Vancouver and Burnaby in 2019.
