The UN: providing aid and comfort to counterfeiters;

The UN’s own documentation shows that their leadership had clear knowledge of the criminal enterprise conducted by the Kim Jong-Il regime. They were required to inform the US of it and to provide the evidence for our investigations. Instead, they aided and abetted Kim and Pyongyang in undermining our currency.

Guelph Tribune via National Newswatch ;

Kovach, who has been FCM president since December 2005 and whose term was supposed to end this May, announced Feb. 1 that she was seeking the Conservative nomination to run in the next federal election.
She said the trouble began soon afterwards when she met with Dion for prebudget discussions. With her at that meeting, her first with the new Liberal leader, was FCM first vice-president Gord Steeves of Winnipeg.
Dion “was not very engaging. He did not have a lot to say to us,” Kovach said.
Soon afterwards, FCM staff told her that Dion had contacted FCM and the Big City Mayors Caucus “to say he would not deal with FCM with me as president,” she said in an interview Wednesday.

Brennan’s concern for politicians is touching, especially coming from one of the most aggressive reporters in the history of parliamentary reporting. But his argument is (1) not true, (2) specious, and (3) futile.

These are just some of the amenities the residents of the northern Cree community of Kashechewan think the government should provide for them at a new site 30 kilometres up river from the flood-prone existing location.

Infiltrators’ report from the Canadian Peace Alliance;

Right after the resolution calling for “anti-war” rallies across Canada, delegates voted to urge all CPA member groups to attend a conference of “the global anti-war movement” in Cairo later this month, which is really a strategy session with the well-known pacifist groups Hamas and Hezbollah.

In Washinton, peace paraders were met with thousands of counter protesters.

Sexing up the evidence:

An intelligence source, working for a government agency. He’s not a spy, he’s an analyst. He uses computers to crunch numbers and at the end of his work, out pops the truth that was hiding in the original data. Let’s call him “Mann.”
The trouble with Mann is, he has an ideology. He knows what he wants his results to be. And the original numbers aren’t giving him that data. So the agency he works for won’t be able to persuade people to fight the war he wants to fight.
Well, that’s not acceptable.
