Can the Elites Allow Canadians To Defend Themselves?

A rural couple in Eastern Ontario went through a traumatic episode of 3 people trying to break into their home. Naturally, the couple defended themselves. Two of the home invaders are now dead. One got away.

In any sane, just country, an investigation would be done and the couple would be left to live the rest of their lives in peace. But in Canuckistan, the elites don’t like this sort of thing (unless it happens to them), so these folks may see their lives turned upside down. For the couple’s sake, let’s hope the dead men are not members of a protected minority.

How’s That Been Working Out For Ya?

So much winning: Judge sets April trial date for Sarah Palin’s libel claim against The New York Times

In reversing Rakoff’s ruling and opening the way for a new trial, the 2nd Circuit concluded that Rakoff made credibility determinations, weighed evidence, and ignored facts or inferences that a reasonable juror could plausibly find supported Palin’s case.

The appeals court also noted that Rakoff’s mid-deliberations ruling might have reached jurors through alerts delivered to cellphones and thus could “impugn the reliability of that verdict.”

The Censorship Industrial Complex

Climategate was the moment they tipped their hand.

The censorship mechanisms we now see on a daily basis in our Google searches, wildly one-sided “news” coverage, and the consolidation of speech codes into full-fledged and sometimes violent censorship on campuses across the nation are the outgrowth of U.S. State Department censorship programs enacted in 2016 after a new bubble of worldwide populism erupted. It marked the point when all of the mechanisms the U.S. employed against our enemies were turned on the American people. […]

in this interview [Mike Benz is] given the time (nearly three hours) to explain the construction of the apparatus that American taxpayers pay for and are victimized by.

“On the clock of contemporary history, it’s showdown time…”

Richard Fernandez;

But something happened that Gramsci did not expect. As the march through the institutions progressed, the “progressives” — so confident of their intellectual superiority — did not sweep all before them. Rather they found the resistance stiffening unexpectedly. Unlikely coalitions rooted in the “Working Class” and even among formerly left-wing sympathizers began to multiply. The surprise setbacks of 2016, Trump and Brexit, grew rather than declined, as one might expect of the last-gasp resistance in the inevitable tide of history.

Today the Reagan castle the progressives captured by coup is in shambles. They are in possession of a ruin. The Global World has not only shattered but is breaking out in war. The only answer to inflation is price control. Worse, the political opposition to progressive ideas has become assertive and even respectable. Things have come to a head; that is what makes November 2024 so special.

In the future, J6 may be regarded as an echo of J5, 1968.

Never Let A Serious Crisis Go To Waste

Off-Guardian- UK Riots: The agenda becomes clear…

Whatever the truth of this latest incident, and whatever long term aims it might be used to further, this “strategy of tension” has an immediate political agenda already becoming clear – and it’s as predictable as ever.

Attacking free speech is the ever-present, eternal agenda that comes before everything else and it’s been a real pile-on the last few days.

You cannot begin to fathom how irritating it is to the ruling class that ordinary people are allowed to just say whatever they want whenever they want – including having the audacity to fact check the media in real time, with no repercussions at all.
