Paleolithic Reality
The common narrative is that the indigenous tribes living in a particular area prior to European settlement were always living there. But that’s not really true, is it?
“Very convenient to cloak your claims in spiritualism. …No matter what your legends say, you didn’t sprout from the plains like the spring grasses and you didn’t coalesce out of the ether. You came out of the Minnesota Woodlands armed to the teeth and set upon your fellow man. You massacred the Kiowa, the Omaha , the Ponca, the Otoe, and the Pawnee without mercy …and yet you claim the Black Hills is a private preserve bequeathed to you by the great spirit. … You conquered those tribes, lusting for their game and their lands, just as we have now conquered you for no less noble a call.”
Poland vs. Woke Western Failures
This recent article shows how Poland has steadily climbed economically and will soon be exceeding economic output in the UK:
Twice does not quite cover it. In 1995 Poland’s GDP per capita was $13,600 in today’s money — about 36 per cent of Britain’s and roughly the same as Brazil’s. Today Poland’s figure is $44,500, or 81 per cent of ours. It may soon pull level. Since the end of 2019 Britain’s GDP per capita has grown by less than 1 per cent in real US dollars. Poland’s has grown almost 18 per cent, nearly twice as much as that of the US.

We won’t be screwed again
The Churchill Falls agreement in the 1970s was one of the most lopsided imaginable, with Quebec getting thousands of megawatts of energy for a fixed price that today is so negligible to be almost considered free. Yet Newfoundland has all but starved in the decades hence. That agreement is now being renegotiated and was a major point in Tuesday’s election.
In other words, the Newfies just voted for a government that’s not going to let them get screwed again.
And for perspective, at 5428 megawatts, Churchill Falls is capable of producing more power than every single generator in Saskatchewan – coal, natural gas, wind, solar, hydro, biomass and the kitchen sink – combined.

Are two very different things.
Blacklock’s- Not My Job, Minister Testifies
Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree confirms cabinet has yet to fulfill an April election promise to hire more police and border guards. “I’m not responsible for the hiring,” he told the Commons public safety committee.
The Liberal Party in its re-election platform Canada Strong promised “1,000 new Canada Border Services Agency officers to crack down on drugs” and “1,000 more RCMP personnel to tackle drug and human trafficking.” The promise was reannounced April 10, April 28, June 3 and August 12.

Telegraph- Germany strips Palestinian of citizenship after he celebrated Hamas
Germany has gone further than most European countries to punish support for Hamas and curb pro-Palestinian support out of what it sees as a historic obligation to Israel and to right the wrongs of its Nazi past.

Adam Zivo- My evening among the Gaza protestors
Holly wanted a one-state solution under Palestinian rule, which she believed would be safe for Jewish citizens. After I pointed out that many Israeli Jews were previously expelled from neighbouring Arab countries, she replied: “As long as they’re not killing Palestinians, generally, the Jews there are safe, yes.” So I pushed a little more: with Hamas killing over 1,000 Jews on October 7th, could they truly be protected? She ended the interview.

National Post- Carney borrowed 48 valuable artworks from National Gallery since taking office
Carney is, however, known to be an art enthusiast in Ottawa circles and has a collection of modern art at home. His purchase of an oil canvas by Canadian artist Kim Dorland, more than a decade ago, notably led to the firing of former CBC host Evan Solomon.
China Is Asshoe
Inside Europe’s First National Security Seizure of a Chinese-Owned Chip-Maker;
The Dutch government has released court documents detailing the explosive national-security seizure of a Chinese-owned semiconductor firm, revealing that CEO Zhang Xuezheng fired senior European executives, transferred treasury powers to individuals “with no clear role,” and conducted more than $100 million in suspect financial transactions with Chinese-linked entities.
The disclosures, issued by the Amsterdam Court of Appeal, explain the intervention announced by the Dutch government—its first use of the Goods Availability Act, a Cold War-era national-security law—to seize control of Nexperia, a chip manufacturer headquartered in Nijmegen. The filings show that Dutch regulators and judges acted in response to a pattern of governance failures, conflicts of interest involving Zhang’s Chinese affiliates, and escalating U.S. export-control measures targeting Nexperia’s Shanghai-listed parent, Wingtech Technology Co.
According to the court, tensions inside Nexperia intensified in early September 2025. On September 4, Zhang revoked the banking mandates of the company’s Chief Financial Officer, Group Treasurer, and a senior financial officer, and reassigned them to individuals lacking treasury experience, including one person who was not employed by Nexperia. The following day, the company’s Chief Legal Officer raised formal objections, warning that the new arrangements departed from accepted corporate-governance standards.
I know, I find it hard to believe as well.

Cockroach Infestation?
It’s not a great sign when the mainstream financial media starts to pick up on news items concerning lending fraud. It makes you wonder how deep the rot really is.
CEO Jamie Dimon offered a mea culpa and a warning Tuesday when discussing the losses his bank experienced from the downfall of subprime auto lender Tricolor Holdings, saying, “It is not our finest moment” and “when you see one cockroach, there’s probably more.”
But the fall of Tricolor and a larger bankruptcy of auto parts supplier First Brands have captured attention on Wall Street, and investors are looking for signs that credit among commercial customers is weakening.
