Is Canada On The Verge Of A Political Revolution?  

BY TYLER DURDEN, ZERO HEDGE

Authored by Bruce Wilds via Advancing Time blog,

Canada like many other countries may be on the cusp of a political revolution. To the chagrin of the mainstream media in Canada, Pierre Poilievre has been elected the leader of Canada’s Conservative opposition party. As a result of his win, attacks on Poilievre have dramatically increased. He has been declared as “dangerous” and even reckless. In short, Canadian media is busy painting him as a mini Donald Trump.

by Uzay Bulut, GATESTONE   •  October 5, 2022

  • The Cypriot government says that Turkey is orchestrating this illegal immigration crisis, as most migrants coming to Cyprus travel from Turkey. They reportedly fly from Istanbul or Ankara to the Turkish-occupied north of Cyprus, are then smuggled to the free, southern part of the Republic of Cyprus, and from there, under EU law, can apply for asylum.

Brazil Election: Bolosaro v Lula  

By Peg Tierney

Jair Bolsonaro – the conservative President of Brazil – is running for re-election against Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva – known as Lula – the former Communist President of Brazil who was charged with corruption and sent to prison. Lula is Obama’s pal.

The fake polls said Bolsonaro would lose to Lula by over 20 points. The crowds said otherwise. On the left are Lula’s supporters – on the right Bolsonaro’s supporters. It’s the difference between Biden & Trump without the circles!

The “big lie” will boomerang on the fake news – the table is being set and the hunters will become the hunted.  

By Peg Tierney

As promised, President Trump has sued CNN in federal court for defamation, seeking $475 million in punitive damages for a “campaign of libel and slander” against him.

Trump said he will “also be commencing actions against other media outlets who have defamed me and defrauded the public regarding the overwhelming evidence of fraud throughout the 2020 Election” as well as taking legal action against the Pelosi-Cheney January 6th committee witch hunt.

The lawsuit claims that CNN “has sought to use its massive influence — purportedly as a ‘trusted’ news source — to defame the Plaintiff in the minds of its viewers and readers for the purpose of defeating him politically, culminating in CNN even claiming credit for ‘getting Trump out’ in the 2020 presidential election.”

Ettinger Report.   May 3, 2022

The Thinnest Veneer of Civilization  

Civilization is fragile. It hinges on ensuring the stuff of life…

By Victor David Hanson, EPOCH TIMES

To be able to eat, to move about, to have shelter, to be free from state or tribal coercion, to be secure abroad, and safe at home—only that allows cultures to be freed from the daily drudgery of mere survival.

Civilization alone permits humans to pursue sophisticated scientific research, the arts, and the finer aspects of culture.

So, the great achievement of Western civilization—consensual government, individual freedom, rationalism in partnership with religious belief, free market economics, and constant self-critique and audit—was to liberate people from daily worry over state violence, random crime, famine, and an often-unforgiving nature.

Beserkeley Goes Full Nazi, Bans Pro-Israel Speakers  

Once again, the University of California, Berkeley reflects the latest trends in academia.

Our nation’s colleges and universities have for years now been radioactive wastelands of far-Left indoctrination, where idea that oppose the establishment narrative are not evaluated or discussed at all except in order to make it clear to the hapless targets of this indoctrination that those who entertain them will be vilified, demonized, ostracized, and possibly expelled from school and rendered too notoriously toxic to get a job in their chosen field. Now the University of California, Berkeley, always an academic trendsetter, has made the Left’s increasingly open antisemitism official policy, as nine student groups have adopted a policy that prohibits people who support Israel from speaking at events. Berkeley, the home in the 1960s of the legendary “Free Speech” movement, has now come full circle and made the Left’s opposition to the freedom of expression and open discourse, as well as its Jew-hatred, open and undeniable.

My First Yom Kippur in Exile  

By 


Credit…Denis Sinyakov/Agence France-Presse — Getty Images

Rabbi Goldschmidt was, until recently, the chief rabbi of Moscow.

JERUSALEM — This is my first Yom Kippur in exile.

The crisp Moscow autumn air; the illuminated synagogue which I called home for 30 years; my white hat and kittel, the robe Jews wear on the High Holy Days, folded up, in my apartment that now sits locked — it all seems like a dream.

As the chief rabbi of Moscow, I used to prepare for this holiday for weeks. Some of the work was technical — securing cantors and shofar blowers for synagogues across Russia, or guiding the sick on whether or not they should fast on the holy day. Some of the preparation was more lofty: I would prepare my sermon thoughts while walking daily for early morning penitential prayers, past the bustling cafes on Pokrovka Street, down the hill on Arkhipova Street, up the stairs to the pale yellow synagogue, with its dome. In the days leading up to the holidays, one could hear the cantorial choir rehearsing in the wooden balcony of the century-old sanctuary.
