Poor Little Rich Khadr

The U.S. Supreme Court has rejected an appeal from Omar Khadr to wipe away his war crime convictions.

The Canadian-born, former Guantanamo detainee earlier killed a U.S. soldier in Afghanistan. Khadr, who was 15 at the time, allegedly threw the grenade that killed American special forces medic, U.S. Army Sgt. First Class Christopher Speer. The incident occurred after a firefight at a suspected al-Qaeda compound.

After pleading guilty to terrorism charges in 2010, Khadr waived his right to appeal. He received an eight-year prison sentence in addition to time already spent at Guantanamo Bay.

And yes, we’re still angry.

Working overtime: Iranian strongman Ebrahim Raisi — aka “the butcher of Tehran” — is dead in a Sunday helicopter crash that his countrymen and women are celebrating, so now would be the perfect time for the New York Times to avoid interviewing the Iranian dissident he tried to have assassinated.

Update @SonofHas;

For those keeping track:

U.S. Senate Chaplain
U.S. State Department Spokesman
White House Spokesman
NATO

All offered condolences for the Butcher of Tehran’s death

The Naked Emperor- Former CDC Director Admits Significant Side Effects From Covid Vaccines

Redfield told Cuomo that we need to be honest and admit that some people got significant side effects from the vaccine. He even said that he knows a number of people that are quite ill from the vaccine, even though they never had Covid.

It would have been great to hear Cuomo and Redfield saying these things when we were all being pressured into getting the jab a few years ago. When people were losing their jobs or being socially ostracised. It’s great that the gaslighting has stopped and the truth is dripping out, and it’s great that these guys are talking about the vaccine, but the brave and honourable thing would have been to stand up and be counted two or three years ago.

Sunday Times- Where did the Black Lives Matter millions go?

McClellan told me he can’t understand why reporters keep coming to town and quoting representatives from what he sees as fake nonprofits. He can’t understand why no one wants to cover the corruption. “We think over $600 million flowed into the big organisations doing justice work in Minneapolis,” McClellan said. “It’s theft. It’s theft. What happened here is theft.”

Daily Mail- Huge surge in demand for hepatitis C test after it emerged 1,700 who caught it in blood transfusion scandal have not been diagnosed

According to the Hepatitis C Trust, those people are in addition to the other 27,000 who caught it when they were given contaminated blood from the 1970s until 1991 – in what is widely regarded as the biggest treatment disaster in NHS history.

The BBC has reported that 12,800 people in England have requested NHS home-testing kits in just over a week, compared with 2,300 in the entire month of April.

Here’s an interesting juxtaposition: a former Liberal MP condemns the ruinously expensive central planning scheme that the Conservative party slavishly supports. We’ve now arrived at the point where around one quarter of one percent of the population will hold an effective veto over trade negotiations affecting the rest of the country.

“The dairy lobby is the National Rifle Association of Canada,” proclaims Martha Hall Findlay, former Liberal MP and now head of the University of Calgary’s school of public policy.

“The one potential positive of Bill-282 is, it is so over the top that it will backfire and it will finally be the time when enough people in this country realize we have to deal with this,” declares Martha.

And “it is so egregious,” she argues, other countries will realize what we’re doing, pointing to the U.K.’s recent withdrawal from trade talks with Canada in large measure over their lack of access to our supply-managed markets, with cheese featuring large. The U.K. is Canada’s third largest trading partner.

Globe and Mail- Canada’s planned $2.4-billion artificial intelligence investment is already mostly obsolete

From the start, Ottawa’s planned $2.4-billion investment was problematic in its lack of scope, with the majority of it – $2-billion – allocated to purchasing computing power. Then, just two days after Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland tabled the 2024 budget, the AI plan became largely obsolete as Meta released Llama 3.

JUST IN: Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi is confirmed dead after rescuers reached the crash site.

Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian is also dead.

The discovery came after a long night of searching in freezing conditions.

Shortly before the discovery, Iranian Red Crescent Society head Pir-Hossein Kolivand said the situation was “not good.”

According to Reuters, the helicopter was completely burned in the crash.

More.

Update: Reuters mourns “hardline prosecutor”.

National Post- Radical Islam’s western fangirls

It seems Hamas knew their female audience, too. One of the striking features about Hamas’s useful-idiot entourage is the robust support it enjoys from progressive women, in glaring contrast to the robust revulsion that should have prevailed among feminists.

Some women have publicly denied the vicious sexual torture inflicted on Israeli women, or shrugged it off as a sidebar to the sacred mission of “resistance.” This, they parrot, may entail “any means necessary,” including the degradation of women for no purpose other than malicious male pleasure. Evidence of western women’s indifference to Israeli women’s victimhood can be found in the fact that UN Women waited for months after the pogrom before condemning the rapes or Hamas.

The Critic- You are being nudged

A major source of this psychological manipulation is state-funded behavioural science, a discipline dedicated to strategically reconfiguring our physical, social and informational environments — by deployment of “nudges” — so as to increase the likelihood that we do the “right” thing. A nudge is a method of persuasion that often achieves its impact below the target’s level of conscious awareness, thereby providing a “low cost, low pain” way of inducing new ways of behaving “by going with the grain of how we think and act” (MINDSPACE, 2010). These strategies of influence exploit the fact that human beings operate almost all of the time on autopilot, making moment-by-moment decisions without conscious reflection and relying on imperfect heuristics to navigate the complexities of the world around them.
