Anomaly Abuse

The only real anomaly in this narrative is the fact that certain political leaders do not understand the concept of evidence.

A search of the grounds of a former residential school in northern Manitoba has uncovered 187 anomalies, according to First Nation leaders.

To know for sure what the anomalies are, Monias said the sites would have to be excavated and DNA testing would be required.

To do that, he said the First Nation would need funding from the federal government.

In what universe would the discovery of a potential crime scene require federal funding prior to investigation?

I can’t help think what the reaction might be if someone published a study on Auschwitz and termed the facility “terrifyingly humongous” and otherwise never mentioned that it was a venue for mass murder.

Archaeologists have discovered a new section of the historic site, which was first uncovered in 2015. The new find adds 119 skulls to the previously known 484, for a hair-raising total of 603 skulls, stacked atop one another and mortared together.

The tower is believed to be one of seven similar structure that once stood in the Aztec capital city of Tenochtitlán (now Mexico City).

It’s the thought that counts.

Telegraph- Is the Church paying reparations on a false premise?

Between 1720 and 1723, it is true, the Bounty did invest £14,000 (about £2.4 million today) in the unsplit company and so, for a time, could have profited from slavery. As it happened, however, it did not. When Parliament divided the South Sea Company in 1723, it split the Bounty’s shares equally, too. The Bounty sold off its trading company shares quite quickly but retained and greatly expanded its annuities.

Discreditably, the Bounty’s managers in 1720 appear to have felt no moral qualms about the slave trade. Subsequently, however, they did not further invest in it or make money out of it.

Global- 30 years after Rwanda genocide

An estimated 800,000 Tutsi were killed by extremist Hutu in massacres that lasted over 100 days in 1994. Some moderate Hutu who tried to protect members of the Tutsi minority also were targeted and killed.

Romeo Dallaire, in an interview that aired Sunday on The West Block, told host Mercedes Stephenson he remains concerned about the continued presence of the genocide’s perpetrators and masterminds in Africa and around the world — including in Canada — who have not been brought to justice.

In this intriguing interview, Dr. John Campbell interviews Australian immunologist Dr. Robert Clancy about another drug that was slammed as ineffective and dangerous when used for the treatment of Covid: hydroxychloroquine. As with so many other pandemic measures, it seems to have fallen prey to the politicization of medicine.

As Dr. Clancy says, “I could not understand why there was a reaction against using a drug outside of its normal indications because we never seen Covid before at a time when people in nursing homes were dying [at] five, six, seven percent mortality rate and here we had a drug it couldn’t do any harm.”
“…it fitted the the politics at the time which was we have no treatment, stay at home until

Paleolithic cultures necessarily live in perfect harmony not only with nature, but with each other, right? If there is any conflict in such cultures, it must be due to residential schools or the 60s sweep or some such. So what explains deadly conflict that occurred over a century prior to European settlement, the memories of which continued to create divisions between aboriginal communities well into the present?

They show elders relaying their tales of ambush and murder while in the midst of daily activities, cutting up a seal or cleaning fish on the beach.

One elder tells of a slaughter so extensive that the Inuit called the place where the rotting bodies were left Annarnituq – Bloated Island. It’s visible in the distance as a boy runs toward it through the wild grass.

There is enough residual enmity that people in the area convened in 2011 for a ceremony initiated by Cree trapper Ron Sheshamush to try to heal the rift once and for all.

Given the West’s nearly exclusive focus on the trans-Atlantic slave trade these days, slavery in the muslim world, which predated the Western experience by hundreds of years, doesn’t get much attention. But that was the reality for every society until the development of the division of labor and industrial capitalism.

“This Trans-Saharan Slave Trade is easily overlooked thanks to its more famous Atlantic cousin, but the exchange of unfree people across the desert was a longer lasting and possibly larger system that deserves much ore attention.”

Another inconvenient truth was that the slave trade could not have existed without the cooperation of African kingdoms which viewed peripheral tribes as fair game.

New York Post- Violent, diarrhea-inducing stomach bug spreads in Northeast: ‘Incredibly contagious’

Once infected, the patient can experience a host of alarming symptoms ranging from violent diarrhea to stomach pain and vomiting, which can cause significant fluid loss and eventual dehydration. These complications begin within 12 to 48 hours after exposure and can persist for three days.

A norovirus is particularly insidious because of how easily it spreads from person to person. It only takes a few particles to make someone sick while the infectees often remain contagious for weeks after their symptoms improve.

Is there nothing we can do?

Fortunately, people can mitigate the spread of the norovirus by rinsing fruits and vegetables and thoroughly cooking shellfish and, of course, washing one’s hands, per the CDC.

Unfortunately, unlike the coronavirus and some other bugs, the norovirus has a resistance to hand sanitizer.

“Purel and the alcohol-based stuff doesn’t get through the envelope of the virus, and it’s still contagious on your hands,” declared Sacchetti.

“Soap and water is the only thing that’ll really protect you from this.”

It’s hopeless then.

The transcript of Javier Milei’s speech to the World Economic Forum is a breath of fresh air in a world that badly needs it. I have not seen a political leader as upfront about the philosophical concepts that define a culture of liberty since Margaret Thatcher. Let’s hope he can make some progress and set an example that is emulated elsewhere.

Do not be intimidated by the political caste or by parasites who live off the state. Do not surrender to a political class that only wants to stay in power and retain its privileges. You are social benefactors. You are heroes. You are the creators of the most extraordinary period of prosperity we’ve ever seen.

Let no one tell you that your ambition is immoral.

If Steve Guilbeault gets his way, every fire department in Canada is going to need a fleet of tanker trucks to attend car accidents.

Firefighters arrived to find a Tesla Model Y on fire, and troopers shut down that portion of Interstate 65.

Two hose lines were deployed, and it took more than an hour to get the fire under control. A total of three engines, two rescues, one ambulance, four water tankers, one squad, one brush truck and three command vehicles responded to the fire.
