Lest We Forget

This morning, on a national American radio program, my email was read out to Senator Bernie Moreno live on air:

Dear Senator Moreno,

The moment where you got people harmed by Fauci’s actions to stand up and then he refused to turn around and look at them was one of the most powerful moments in history I have ever seen.

Thank you for standing up against this petty little man. He is a true incarnation of evil.

In The Mail

One of SDA’s regulars sent me the following message today:

What follows is a news letter from the People’s Party. They have raised a valid point that none of our Political Parties have touched: once truth is prohibited, a nation can no longer be considered a democracy.

“You’ve probably heard about the Assembly of First Nations passing an emergency resolution demanding that the government make residential school “denialism” a criminal offence.
Grand Chief Garrison Settee believes that demanding evidence of unmarked graves should be considered “residential school denialism” and made into a hate crime.

But here’s the problem: at sites like the one in Kamloops, ground-penetrating radar flagged anomalies that the tribe itself said it “suspects” are unmarked graves.

No excavations have been done. No bodies have been found. And yet, asking for proof could soon land you in prison.

Passing The Buck

It’s not hard to see in who’s favor this dispute is going to be resolved once it gets kicked upstairs to the Feds.

A lobster fishing group in Nova Scotia has failed in its bid to persuade a judge that a First Nation does not have the treaty right to commercially fish for lobster out of season and without a licence.

In a decision released Wednesday, Nova Scotia Supreme Court Justice Ann Smith says the Unified Fisheries Conservation Alliance could not proceed with its claim against the Sipekne’katik First Nation because the court lacked jurisdiction.

Only 43lbs Of Fentanyl

Sam Cooper;

The container arrived carrying twenty industrial rolls of paper, and concealed inside ten of them was 520.6 kilograms of opium — the raw material of the Big Circle Boys’ heroin trade that drove Vancouver’s overdose deaths for decades, before fentanyl exploded in the Downtown Eastside around 2012.

Canada Border Services Agency officers made the find at the Tsawwassen Container Examination Facility, five kilometers from the Deltaport terminal, after intelligence from the agency’s National Targeting Centre and U.S. Customs and Border Protection flagged the shipment in January.

The disclosure came late, as it had before: officers intercepted the container in January but the agency announced it only this week — the same months-long lag that preceded its October disclosure of a May 2025 seizure of 4,300 liters of Chinese precursor chemicals bound for Calgary. The number carries political weight on its own. A single container held more opium than the 329 kilograms of opioids border officers seized across all of British Columbia in 2025.

Keir Starmer’s Britain

Where the foxes caper unmolested, the government packs your school lunch and the crocodiles eat your first;

The man arrested on suspicion of throwing a 3-year-old boy into a crocodile enclosure at a Cambridgeshire zoo has been released on bail after being deemed “unfit” for interview.

Cambridge Police says the 3-year-old boy remains in Addenbrooke’s Hospital in a critical but stable condition

The arrested 30-year-old man, who is not known to the toddler, has been “assessed as not being fit for interview” and released on bail until September.

Smoke Signals

Sam Cooper;

When Winnipeg police laid out the largest drug seizure in Manitoba history last week — more than 525 kilograms of cocaine, methamphetamine and fentanyl, 14 firearms, and $825,000 in cash — the bricks of narcotics and the row of guns drew the cameras. A quieter item in the evidence locker did not: 1.35 million contraband cigarettes.

To a former senior Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) organized crime investigator who has spent decades tracing the illicit tobacco trade, that detail was perhaps the most revealing thing in the multi-agency probe. Illegal cigarettes, he told The Bureau, are the connective tissue of the networks that flood hard drugs from China and Mexico into Canadian communities. If tobacco produced on Indigenous lands fueling fentanyl production does not register with citizens, he says, the one billion in tax dollars lost every year in Ontario alone should at least raise eyebrows.

If It Weren’t For Fake Hate

And the funding behind it…

@MrAndyNgo If the allegations are true, the SPLC is the largest funder of American neo-Nazis and KKK members. They allegedly made a problem that they could point to to fear monger and fundraise hundreds of millions of dollars. More importantly, they could build a moral panic that Democrats could use to sway elections and defame political targets. This is more than just alleged mass financial fraud.

What Would We Do Without “Gold Standard” Researchers?

How a tiny circle of repeat offenders poisoned 100s of gold-standard medical trials for over a decadeand didn’t go to jail.

In a recent study, researchers set out to investigate how many retracted randomized clinical trials were linked to superretractors (authors with the most retractions) and to highly cited authors with multiple retractions.

They found that just 6 superretractors were co-authors on 22% of all retracted clinical trials studied, 5 were based in Japan, and 1 was from Germany. Also, a group of 18 top-cited scientists were involved in 25% of all retracted trials. The retractions were highly concentrated in specific areas like anesthesiology, endocrinology and metabolism.[…]

To become a superretractor, first, a researcher must produce large volumes of unreliable, duplicate, or fabricated work, often fueled by the publish or perish system of academia that rewards output over rigor and lacks strong oversight. Second, that misconduct has to be uncovered through investigation and exposure.

Superretractors can also act as superspreaders of contaminated research. When flawed or fabricated trials enter systematic reviews and meta-analyses, they are amplified and woven into widely used evidence summaries. By the time a study is retracted, it has often already shaped these studies referenced for developing clinical guidelines that doctors rely on. The result is a cascade of distorted evidence that can translate into incorrect, even harmful, decisions in patient care.

Fire Them All

Here’s hoping that Javier Milei’s labor market reforms continue to gain traction. Notice how the news item is framed in such a way as to draw no connection between the undeserved power of Peronist labor unions and “frequent economic shocks”.

The bill, which grants employers greater flexibility in matters of hiring, firing, severance and collective bargaining, has drawn fierce opposition from labor unions and their Peronist allies, who argue it would roll back measures that protect workers from abuse and Argentina’s notoriously frequent economic shocks.

Jeffrey Epstein Didn’t Kill Himself

After careful consideration,

“… I have decided to step down as President and CEO of the World Economic Forum. My time here, spanning 8½ years, has been profoundly rewarding,” Brende said. “I am grateful for the incredible collaboration with my colleagues, partners, and constituents, and I believe now is the right moment for the Forum to continue its important work without distractions.”
