Transgender Is A Stalking Horse For The Normalization Of Pedophilia

Post Millenial;

A city council in England is coming under fire after it was discovered that a Canadian transgender cartoonist who has a diaper fetish is invited to speak at a family event hosted by a local library.

Sophie Labelle, from Montreal, is scheduled to talk about Labelle’s book, The Best of Assigned Male, at Sheffield Central Library on Monday evening. According to The Telegraph, the artist will also speak about the experience of growing up transgender. The Sheffield stop is part of what Labelle calls “the Trans agenda” tour, making stops across the UK and Australia.

Labelle, a trans-identified male, has made no secret of having an interest in diaper fetish art, known as “diaperfur art.” This is a form of artistic expression that combines an interest in anthropomorphic animal characters with an interest in wearing diapers, normally as part of a baby roleplay.

Mentioned in passing;

“After the first dose, we were surprised to find the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine elicits an unexpected memorylike response in the immune system, recognizing the vaccine as if it’s something it’s seen before,” says Professor Lynn, from the College of Medicine and Public Health at Flinders University.

“This response is targeted against the adenovirus vector in the vaccine, not the Spike protein and the intensity of this response correlates with the expression of proteins that act as a pre-cursor to thrombosis, or blood clotting.

Related: my expectation was that fixing this data would make the negative signal for all cause mortality from vaccines clear. this was going to be too big to hide. well, i was half right. it was too big, but they seem to have gone to massive lengths to hide it.

Zerohedge- Clarkson’s Farm: Another Front In The War On Food

While I’ve been a big fan of Jeremy Clarkson over the years, I’ve never been proud of him before. Hero worship and celebrity go hand in hand and it’s a dangerous game to ascribe motives beyond self-interest to any celebrity.

But in Clarkson’s case he may have just done something worthy of that.

The Sound Of Settled Science

Unsettled Science 59 Comments

They’ll cling to the Big Bang until their fingernails bleed.

Astronomers have discovered what appear to be massive galaxies dating back to within 600 million years of the Big Bang, suggesting the early universe may have had a stellar fast-track that produced these “monsters.”

While the new James Webb Space Telescope has spotted even older galaxies, dating to within a mere 300 million years of the beginning of the universe, it’s the size and maturity of these six apparent mega-galaxies that stun scientists. They reported their findings Wednesday.

Lead researcher Ivo Labbe of Australia’s Swinburne University of Technology and his team expected to find little baby galaxies this close to the dawn of the universe — not these whoppers.

“While most galaxies in this era are still small and only gradually growing larger over time,” he said in an email, “there are a few monsters that fast-track to maturity. Why this is the case or how this would work is unknown.” […]

“The revelation that massive galaxy formation began extremely early in the history of the universe upends what many of us had thought was settled science,” Leja said in a statement. “It turns out we found something so unexpected it actually creates problems for science. It calls the whole picture of early galaxy formation into question.”

Terry Glavin;

I’ve been covering Beijing’s influence-peddling rackets in the highest levels of Canadian political, corporate and academic circles for well over a decade now, and I haven’t seen anything quite like this. There’s no way of sugar-coating it.

In recent weeks, Trudeau and Mendicino have gone to such creepy lengths to downplay, dismiss and even cover up the extent of Beijing’s election monkeywrenching that it’s become impossible to paper over a deep rupture that has opened up in the relationship between the Prime Minister’s Office and the senior ranks of the Canadian Security and Intelligence Service.

That rupture will only get deeper now that Trudeau’s response to the revelations about the Chinese Communist Party’s 2021 election-jimmying operation is: CSIS needs to shut the hell up. The Globe’s access to the contents of those CSIS reports is “certainly a sign that security within CSIS needs to be reviewed,” Trudeau said last Friday. “And I’m expecting CSIS to take the issue very seriously.”

This isn’t how a government goes about its professed devotion to “transparency and accountability.” Count on it: the breakdown in the CSIS-PMO relationship is severe enough that intelligence officials are already familiarizing themselves with the “public interest” exemptions in the Security of Information Act – the 1985 successor to the Official Secrets Act. […]

It’s fairly routine for CSIS case officers to complain that the intelligence they procure goes up the line and nothing much seems to come of it. But what’s happening right now is not even close to routine. This is a much bigger deal than the calumny former CSIS director Richard Fadden had to endure back in 2010 after he disclosed that provincial cabinet ministers in B.C. and Ontario had come under Beijing’s sway.

Given the many smoking-gun details in the CSIS files made available to the Globe and Mail, it’s perhaps understandable that the Trudeau cabinet’s efforts to hush everything up has garnered less attention. The collapse in the CSIS-PMO relationship has gone mostly unnoticed. So let’s notice something here, shall we?
