Pushing Back: Canada’s Conservatives Begin to Oppose Trudeau’s Transgenderism

/0 Comments/in , /by

Canadian conservative politicians are beginning to roll back Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s pro-transgender policies.

On Monday, the right-of-center conservative government in Ontario announced that parents should be told when their children adopt an opposite-sex persona in schools.

“We understand though that parents must be fully involved and fully aware of what’s happening in the life of their children,” said Stephen Lecce, the education minister of Ontario, which is Canada’s largest province.

Lecce is a member of the Progressive Conservative Party, which is headed by Ontario Premier Doug Ford. He added:

I mean, often there are health implications [of transsexualism], and I think we have to respect the rights of parents and recognize that these can be life-changing decisions, and I think parents want to be involved so that they can support their kids. And I think that’s a really important principle that we must uphold.

Entitled: Zelensky Says He Won’t Hold Elections Unless Americans Pay For Them

/0 Comments/in , /by

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has demanded that taxpayers in the United States and European Union send the country even more aid if the West wishes for elections to be held next year.

In an interview published by the president’s office on Sunday evening, Zelensky said that he would be willing to hold elections despite the ongoing martial law amid the war with Russia, so long as the U.S. and EU bankroll the voting process.

The Ukrainian leader said that elections during peacetime typically cost around 5 billion hryvnia ($135 million) but did not speculate as to how much more they would cost during a war, though presumably it would be much higher.

Zelensky said that he discussed the topic of funding for the 2024 elections with U.S. Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, who has been one of the staunchest supporters of sending more aid to Ukraine on Capitol Hill.

“I told [Sen. Graham]: If the United States and Europe give us financial support… I’m sorry, I will not hold elections on credit, I will not take money from weapons and give it to elections either. But if you give me this financial support, if the parliamentarians realize that we need to do this, then let’s quickly change the legislation and, most importantly, let’s take risks together,” Zelensky said.

Putin Breaks Silence on Prigozhin’s Plane Crash

/0 Comments/in , /by

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday made his first comments about Wagner Group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin’s presumed death in a plane crash.

“I’ve known Prigozhin for a very long time, since the early 1990s. He was a man with no easy fate. He made some serious mistakes in his life, but he also achieved the needed results—both for himself and, when I asked him, for the common cause,” Putin said during a televised meeting, according to the Kremlin-controlled news agency Tass.

Putin’s comments are the closest words yet in way of confirmation regarding Prigozhin’s death. The founder of the mercenary Wagner organization was listed as a passenger on a jet that crashed in Russia’s Tver region on Wednesday, killing all 10 people aboard.

Prigozhin was once a close ally of Putin, and his Wagner Group grew to prominence during the war in Ukraine after Putin’s formal military suffered a string of defeats at the ends of Kyiv’s forces. More recently, though, Prigozhin fell out of favor with the Kremlin after he accused Russia’s military of attacking his troops before launching a brief mutiny against Moscow in late June that ended shortly after it began.

Ukraine’s military conducted an overnight operation on the Russian-occupied Crimea Peninsula.

The Defense Intelligence of Ukraine, with navy support, launched the attack from the water and came up near the Olenivka and Maiak settlements on the western tip of Crimea, the Ukrainian Defense Ministry’s Main Directorate of Intelligence said in a statement.

“When performing the task, Ukrainian defenders engaged in [a] combat clash with the units of [R]ussian occupiers. As a result, the enemy suffered personnel and equipment losses. Also, the National Flag has been hoisted once again in the Ukrainian Crimea,” the statement continued. “All objectives and tasks were fulfilled. As the special operation was completed, Ukrainian defenders left the scene without casualties.”

The statement did not specify what the goals of the mission were, despite saying the goal was accomplished. Thursday is Ukrainian Independence Day. (Read more from “Ukraine Hoists Flag During Operation in Occupied Crimea” HERE)

North Korea Warns US, South Korean Military Drills Could Trigger ‘Thermonuclear War’

/0 Comments/in , /by

North Korean state media warned U.S. Military officials on Monday that “thermonuclear war” could break out after denouncing the U.S. and South Korea joint military drills test-firing strategic cruise missiles on the Korean Peninsula.

U.S. and South Korean militaries began their annual Ulchi Freedom Shield computer-simulated command post exercise, which Navy officials said is designed to ensure the Alliance is ready to defend the Republic of Korea and promote security and stability in Northeast Asia. But North Korea has long viewed the drills as a potential war simulation.

“A thermo-nuclear war, the first ever in history, is more than likely on the Korean peninsula,” KCNA news agency reported.

The warning comes days after leaders of the U.S., South Korea, and Japan met at Camp David in Maryland last week to form their first stand-alone trilateral agreements dubbed the “Camp David Principles,” as threats from China and North Korea increase in the Pacific.

“The purpose of our trilateral security cooperation is and will remain to promote and enhance peace and stability throughout the region,” U.S. President Joe Biden, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida reportedly said in a joint statement.

US Citizens in Belarus Told to ‘Depart Immediately’

/0 Comments/in , /by

The U.S. Embassy in Belarus issued an alert Monday for all American citizens in the country to leave immediately and warned against traveling there.

The warning comes after Lithuania closed two of its major border crossings with Belarus over concerns about the Russian mercenary group Wagner that has established operations in the country. . .

The U.S. State Department has advised Americans not to travel to Belarus due to Minsk’s support of Russia’s war against Ukraine, the buildup of Russian military forces in Belarus, the “arbitrary” enforcement of local laws, potential civil unrest, the risk of detention.

“U.S. citizens in Belarus should depart immediately,” the State Department advised. “Consider departing via the remaining border crossings with Lithuania and Latvia, or by plane.”

Wagner’s presence in Belarus comes after an apparent failed uprising spearheaded by the group’s leader, Yevgeny Prigozhin, in late June. (Read more from “US Citizens in Belarus Told to ‘Depart Immediately’” HERE)

Russian General Suggests U.S. Helped Create COVID-19, May Be Plotting New Pandemic for ‘Global Control’

/0 Comments/in , /by

The United States government officially claims that its scientists study pathogens in biolabs around the world to develop preventative measures to potential viruses, but Moscow does not buy that.

Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov said that the United States may have played a role in inflicting the COVID-19 pathogen on the world and may be working to create another biological crisis.

“We do not rule out the United States may use so-called defensive technologies for offensive purposes, as well as for global governance by creating crisis situations of biological nature,” Kirillov warned.

According to the Russian State media outlet RT, Moscow believes there was collusion between Big Pharma and USAID through the EcoHealth Alliance, a U.S.-based non-government organization run by Peter Daszak, to develop new strains of coronavirus.

“The intermediary organization EcoHealth Alliance has played a key role in implementing projects to study this pathogen. Since 2015, the organization’s researchers have been involved in studying a diverse population of bats, searching for new coronavirus strains and mechanisms for animal-to-human transmission. Over 2,500 bats have been studied,” Kirillov stated. (Read more from “Russian General Suggests u.s. Helped Create COVID-19, May Be Plotting New Pandemic for ‘Global Control’” HERE)

China, Once Touted as America’s Successor in Waiting, Is Watching Its Currency Crash and Its Economy Crumble

/0 Comments/in , /by

There has been a great deal of chatter in recent years concerning the prospect that America could soon be eclipsed and subordinated by communist China. However, the defeatists appear to have overlooked the very real possibility that China might collapse under the weight of its ambitions before realizing them.

While there are various problems that might hamstring the communist nation and thwart its completion of Beijing’s so-called hundred-year marathon, the prospect of a doomed economy is presently the most arresting.

Apparatchiks have reiterated Chinese dictator Xi Jinping’s February call for patience, in which he purportedly said, “We cannot be ambitious and unrealistic, but we cannot simply follow the beaten path. … We should be patient [with a historical perspective] and move forward in a steadfast manner,” reported the South China Morning Post.

Although urging patience, Beijing has been racing to shore up its crashing currency amid broader economic woes, crashing banks, and failing corporate giants.

This week, Chinese state-owned banks hurriedly dumped U.S. dollars and bought up yuan in domestic and international foreign exchange markets in hopes of slowing the pace of the Chinese currency’s depreciation, reported Reuters.

North Korea Confirms U.S. Army Private Is in Country and Shares Alleged Reason He Entered

/0 Comments/in , , /by

North Korea has released its first statement since United States Army Pvt. Travis King crossed over from South Korea into its territory, confirming what was long suspected and alleging why King made the much-questioned decision.

During its investigation, North Korea claims “he confessed that he decided to come over to the DPRK, opposed to inhuman maltreatment and racial discrimination in the US army,” according to the state-run Korean Central News Agency.

“Saying he was disillusioned at the unequal American society, he expressed his will to seek political asylum either in the DPRK or in third country,” the statement continued. “The investigation continues.”

It was July 18 when King bolted across the border while taking a tour of the demilitarized zone that separates the two Koreas. King, who has been a cavalry scout with the Army since January 2021, was supposed to fly home to the U.S. after serving two months in a South Korean prison on assault charges, but he didn’t get on the flight, choosing to cross into North Korea, seemingly on his own volition.

Zelensky Fires All Heads of Ukraine’s Military Recruitment Amid Bribery Probe

/0 Comments/in , /by

It’s long been clear that Ukraine’s armed forces have undergone some significant recruitment problems amid generally low morale as throughout the summer the counteroffensive has stalled and appears failing. There’s also a grim emerging consensus that Ukraine is suffering staggering losses. Even just before the counteroffensive’s start, The Washington Post ran headlines such as Ukraine short of skilled troops and munitions as losses, pessimism grow.

Related this are all of the recent videos of young Ukrainian men being conscripted across the country which have widely circulated. Those who are fearful of being sent to the front are often actively engaging in evasive and, in some instances, illegal tactics to avoid such a fate. Some with money can pay off military recruitment officers, perhaps.

This week, even one of Kiev’s most ardent supporters and NATO backers – Poland, has said the counteroffensive is likely to fail. Polish President Andrzej Duda said in a fresh Washington Post interview, “Does Ukraine have enough weapons to change the balance of the war and get the upper hand?” And he answered his rhetorical with – “Probably, no.”

“We know this by the fact that they’re not currently able to carry out a very decisive counteroffensive against the Russian military,” Duda conceded. “To make a long story short, they need more assistance.” And now on the battlefield, the Kharkiv area is being evacuated of civilians amid Russian advances.
