Regulatory psychologist body bribes Dr. Peterson to retire, fails

https://thecountersignal.com/regulatory-psychologist-body-bribes-dr-peterson-to-retire-fails/

The Ontario College of Psychologists has failed to find a ‘social media expert’ to conduct the mandated training for Dr. Jordan Peterson, despite their ardent legal efforts over the past two years to make it happen.

Dr. Peterson provided the update himself in a special to The National Post.

First, he said, the College attempted to bribe him into just retiring and giving up his license himself, in exchange for not having to pay the legal fees the courts ruled he owes them for their years-long legal battle.

“Don’t assume that the target of your offer is open to something approximating a bribe, because that is what it was, particularly when all evidence suggests the contrary,” Peterson told them publicly.

The offer appears to have been a semi-bluff as well.

After Dr. Peterson rejected the offer, putting the ball back in the College’s court, the College then informed Dr. Peterson that they have been unable to find someone to conduct the mandated training, despite spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on legal battles over the past two years to ensure it would happen.

“There was not a single available ‘social media expert’ available at hand to take on the task!” Dr. Peterson stated.

Dr. Peterson further said he assumes their inability to find someone up to the task is because he’s publicly stated multiple times that he would record the entire social media training and subsequently broadcast it to the world, making the job one that would surely be ridiculed by millions of observers worldwide.

"New Marching Orders From NATO": Checking In On France's Military Build-Up On The Eastern Flank

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/new-marching-orders-nato-checking-frances-military-build-eastern-flank

France has embarked on a quiet force build-up and expansion of its troops and military presence in NATO's 'eastern flank' country of Romania. It plans to send thousands more French troops to the country which shares a large border with Ukraine for major military drills planned next year.

"We used to play war," French General Bertrand Toujouse was quoted in Politico as saying. "Now there's a designated enemy, and we train with people with whom we'd actually go to war."

Politico has further cited French army leadership as saying it has "new marching orders from NATO," and that ultimately the plan is that by 2027 it "should be able to deploy a war-ready division in 30 days." Continue...

Drug Trials Funded By Manufacturers Find 50 Percent Greater Drug Effectiveness

https://www.zerohedge.com/medical/drug-trials-funded-manufacturers-find-50-percent-greater-drug-effectiveness

Drug studies sponsored by drug manufacturers tend to report higher drug efficacy than studies not sponsored by the drug company, a new report published in the Journal of Political Economy on Oct. 7 finds.

The report found a “sponsorship effect” that tends to bias sponsored studies toward reporting higher drug efficacies. The author could not find differences in study design between those funded by drug companies and those not.

“Removing the sponsorship effect would reduce the difference in efficacy ... by about 50%,” Tamar Oostrom, an assistant professor of economics at Ohio State University, said in her paper.

“This effect was larger than I expected,” Oostrom told The Epoch Times over email. “My results suggest that sponsored arms of trials should be discounted substantially.”

She said that the difference in results between sponsored and unsponsored trials may be that “manufacturers are running multiple trials and selectively publishing those that are more favorable towards their drug.”

Even a small effect of bias by funding could affect the use of a drug, she noted. Continue...

Boeing Slashes 10% Of Workforce, CEO Warns "Hard To Overstate The Challenges We Face"

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/boeing-slashes-10-workforce-ceo-warns-hard-overstate-challenges-we-face

In what some have called a panic/desperation negotiating tactic, Boeing has announced (late on a Friday afternoon) that it will slash its workforce by 10% as the pummeled planemaker struggles with a cash-crunch amid a drawn-out strike and ongoing quality control (to put it nicely) issues.

In a memo to employees, CEO Kelly Ortberg noted that the reductions will include executives, managers and employees, warning that:

“Our business is in a difficult position, and it is hard to overstate the challenges we face together."

Boeing ended 2023 with 171,000 employees. Continue...

After Wednesday's phone call involving President Biden, Vice President Harris, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu - the US and Israel have moved closer on achieving consensus regarding Israel's planned retaliation against Iran.

There have been reports that Netanyahu is now seeking the approval of his security cabinet, however regional media says that no big resolutions have been reached. The expected big counterstrikes have yet to come, despite Iran firing some 200 ballistic missiles at Israel on October 1st.

But The Wall Street Journal has described Iran's "secret warning" conveyed to other Middle East regional countries this week as it braces for Israel's potential retaliation. Continue...

Canada’s rent growth hits three-year low due to decrease in international students

https://tnc.news/2024/10/12/rent-growth-international-students/

The rent increase in Canada has slowed to a pace not seen in three years, largely attributed to international student enrollments plummeting after record highs.

Average asking rents for all residential property types in Canada grew by just 2.1% year-over-year in September, reaching $2,193 per month, according to the latest Rentals.ca and Urbanation report, marking the smallest annual rent increase since Oct. 2021.

The report highlighted a five-month trend of slowing rent growth, with the annual increase dropping significantly from May’s 9% rate.

However, rents skyrocketed from $1,751 to $1,934 between Sept. 2021 and 2022, a 10.5% increase. They saw a further increase from $1,934 to $2,149 between Sept. 2022 and 2023, an 11.1% increase or a cumulative 22.7% increase over the two years. The rents have nearly plateaued, increasing only $44 or 2% from $2,149 to $2,193 between Sep. 2023 and 2024.

“Rents in Canada are increasing at their slowest pace in nearly three years, largely the result of foreign student enrollments dropping by roughly a half from their record highs, with the impact felt most in B.C. and Ontario,” said Shaun Hildebrand, President of Urbanation. “Meanwhile, smaller, more affordable markets continue to see strong upward pressure on rents as demand shifts to less expensive parts of the country.” Continue...

Record food bank use as Calgarians prepare for Thanksgiving

https://tnc.news/2024/10/12/record-food-bank-use-as-calgarians-prepare-for-thanksgiving/

As Calgarians prepare for Thanksgiving this year, the number of Calgary households relying on food banks daily has more than doubled since two years ago.

This doubling was confirmed by Melissa From, president and CEO of Calgary Food Bank, according to the Calgary Herald. She said that now more than 750 households are relying on using the food bank every day.

More working-class people are visiting food banks than ever before. From said that this is a last resort and that clients often use coupons, pinch pennies, go without meals, and even turn off their electricity before visiting a food bank.

A previous study highlighted that food bank usage has been reaching unprecedented levels across Canada. Demand surged 30% nationwide last year, with some regions experiencing even sharper increases.

In Newfoundland, the Saint Vincent de Paul Carbonear Food Bank reported a spike in clients as families approach the long weekend.

“For a lot of these people, Thanksgiving dinner might not even be an option,” spokesperson Kaitlin Clarke told CBC News. Continue...

All over Europe, political leaders are scrambling to find ways to cope with the tragic fallout from a decade of failed, crippling globalist EU policies, especially regarding the unchecked mass migration that is wrecking the social tissue of these nations.

Lately, all eyes have converged on Italy, where conservative Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has been quite successful in tackling this problem, diminishing the arrivals by over 60% and finding innovative ways to address the illegal arrivals by boat.

Yesterday (11), Italy’s government formally opened two centers in Albania where it will ‘process’ male migrants who are intercepted in international waters.

Liberal’s green investment rules exclude nuclear power, posit uncertain future for LNG

https://tnc.news/2024/10/13/liberals-green-investment-rules-exclude-nuclear-power-lng/

Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland released the Liberal government’s green economy investment guidelines and notably excluded any pledge to support nuclear power.

Additionally, the Liberals weren’t clear whether further liquified natural gas projects would be included in the so-called “green taxonomy.”

Proponents of nuclear energy, which include the International Atomic Energy Agency, argue that it is a low-carbon power source and that excluding it could set the world back from achieving net-zero emission targets.

Similarly, the natural gas industry, often seen as a ‘bridge fuel’ in the transition to renewable energy, finds itself on the outside, raising concerns about the impact on the sector and the overall energy mix of Canada.

The taxonomy’s classification system, which aims to direct funds towards green and transition activities, may face challenges in its implementation.

“The development of that Canadian taxonomy will provide guidelines to identify green and transition investments. Green investments are low or zero emitting. Transition investments reduce emissions in high emitting sectors. I think you all know why we’re doing this. We’re doing it because we know markets want certainty,” said Freeland at the UN Principles for Responsible Investment conference on Oct. 9. Continue...

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/10/europe-against-migration-globalist-prime-minister-donald-tusk/

When the Eurofanatic and Globalist Donald Tusk was again elected as Poland’s Prime Minister, there was an ample expectation that he would roll back the policies enacted by the previous Law and Justice (PiS) nationalist government.

And indeed, he set out to do just that, with varying levels of success – from trying to facilitate the ‘right’ to abortion to implementing legislation about the so-called ‘global warming’, Tusk has been adhering to the globalist playbook in multiple ways.

But there is one aspect in which his administration has pretty much been a continuation of the PiS government’s agenda: immigration.

The scourge of unchecked mass migration has also hurt Poland, and Tusk set out to enact policies to fight that, even if that does not please the Brussels bureaucracy.

Now, we learn that Poland is planning to ‘temporarily suspend the right to asylum’—an extreme measure compared to any taken by an EU member so far.

The suspension is a part of ‘a strategy to limit illegal migration’ amidst tensions with neighboring Belarus, which Warsaw is accusing of channeling migrants across its border.

For 17 consecutive nights, a squadron of mysterious drones breached the airspace over Langley Air Force Base, home to some of America’s most advanced military assets.

Despite the base’s state-of-the-art defenses, military personnel were left perplexed and concerned, watching each night as the drones crossed Virginia’s restricted airspace without deterrent.

According to a Wall Street Journal report, the bizarre drone activity has left military commanders, including U.S. Air Force General Mark Kelly, scratching their heads. Kelly watched in disbelief as drones zoomed across the night sky at more than 100 miles per hour.

These aircraft flew over restricted zones, even passing near Navy SEAL Team Six’s home base and Naval Station Norfolk, the largest naval port in the world. Yet, despite their frequency and proximity to these high-value targets, no action was taken.

Back west, Ukraine started conscripting young people from the ruling classes that had been spared so far, violently raiding concert houses, discos, and strip bars for future soldiers.

On the eastern frontlines, the lack of suitable troops and equipment, coupled with the new Russian tactics and overpowering capabilities mean that the territorial conquests multiply, with movement in several parts of the line of contact at once.

Today (13), we learn that Mykhailivka has fallen.

There are several settlements in Ukraine with the same name, but here it refers to the village immediately east of Selydove, southeast of the strategic hub of Pokrovsk.

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/china-initiates-huge-military-drills-around-taiwan-warning-islands-president

On Monday China has launched large military drills encircling the self-governing island of Taiwan, which Taipei has blasted as an "unreasonable provocation". China's PLA military deployed warships and fighter jets to send a "stern warning" against "separatist acts of Taiwan independence forces".

The PLA Eastern Theater Command deployed joint operations of the army, navy, air force and rocket force. These assets have been largely concentrated in the Taiwan Strait, as well as surrounding Taiwan. "The joint drills focused on sea and air combat readiness, blockading key Taiwanese ports and areas, and assaults on maritime and ground targets," described the eastern theatre command’s spokesperson, senior captain Li Xi.

"The drill also serves as a stern warning to the separatist acts of ‘Taiwan independence’ forces," Li added. The last drills of this size occurred just after the May 20th inauguration of Taiwan's new president Lai Ching-te. Continue...

This week, Elton John publicly renounced the Rocket Man - no, not the 1972 song, but Elon Musk, whom he called an “a**hole” in an awards ceremony.

Sir Elton, 77, is only the latest among celebrities and pundits to denounce Musk for his support of former president Donald Trump and his opposition to censorship. Musk-mania is so overwhelming that some are calling for his arrest, deportation and debarment from federal contracts.

This week, the California Coastal Commission rejected a request from the Air Force for additional launches from Vandenberg Air Force Base. It is not because the military agency did not need the launches. It was not because the nation and the community would not benefit from them. Rather, it was reportedly because, according to one commissioner, Musk has “aggressively injected himself into the presidential race.”

By a 6-4 vote, the California Coastal Commission rejected the military’s plan to let SpaceX launch up to 50 rockets per year from the base in Santa Barbara County. Continue...

Canada and India each expelled six diplomats Monday in tit-for-tat moves as part of an escalating dispute over the June 2023 assassination of a Sikh activist in Canada.

A senior Canadian government official said that Canada was expelling six Indian diplomats, including the high commissioner, after police uncovered evidence of ongoing violent criminal activity linked to the Indian government.

Shortly afterward, the Indian foreign ministry said it was expelling six Canadian diplomats, including the acting high commissioner and the deputy high commissioner. It said in a statement that the diplomats were told to leave India by the end of Saturday.

The ministry had said earlier Monday that India was withdrawing its diplomats, after rejecting Canada’s diplomatic communication on Sunday that said the Indian ambassador was a “person of interest” in the assassination.

A second senior Canadian official said that Canada expelled the Indian diplomats first before they withdrew. Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to speak publicly on the matter. Continue...

In a devastating blow to the Democrat’s Green New Deal agenda, the solar panel farm at Lake Placid, Florida, was ripped apart by Hurricane Milton, exposing the inherent vulnerabilities of relying on so-called “green energy.”

The 380-acre Lake Placid Solar Power Plant, was meant to symbolize the future of energy, but after Hurricane Milton’s landfall, it now stands as a symbol of the failures of environmental utopianism.

The 45-megawatt (MW) plant consists of approximately 180,000 tracking solar panels.

This solar facility, touted for its ability to power over 12,000 homes at peak production, was ravaged by the storm’s extreme conditions.

Now, viral footage shows the mangled array of panels, symbolizing both the fragility and limitations of a “renewable-only” energy approach in high-stakes weather events. Continue...

Another week, another scandal in the shambolic leftist outfit run by already-unpopular Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

This time, Starmer is facing calls for an independent inquiry over the controversial decision to grant ­Taylor Swift a taxpayer-funded police escort.

Fury grew on Saturday night (12) as it emerged the American singer was only given protection after the Government’s AG was called in to put pressure on Scotland Yard.

Outrage In Italy As Illegal Immigrant Arrested For Raping And Impregnating 10-Year-Old

https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2024-10-15/outrage-italy-illegal-immigrant-arrested-raping-and-impregnating-10-year-old

In the months building up to the 2024 United States Presidential Election, the multitude of issues causing the rapid deterioration of the country have become somewhat distilled down to a singular crux: border security. Perhaps that is because Vice President Kamala Harris' role as the supposed 'Border Tsar' has allowed the rhetoric of her challengers to put the spotlight on her most profound failures or perhaps it's because a policy of open borders succinctly demonstrates the globalist agenda hellbent on eroding the sovereignty of the United States. In either case, immigration's ascent to the paramount focus of the election cycle demonstrates the existential threat it poses to the future of America as we know it.

That existential threat is not unique to the United States though. Given that open borders have enabled the globalist agenda to infiltrate governments over the world, the maladies they infect nations with have reached pandemic proportions. The anguish of those ills has been illustrated once more in Italy, where a 28-year old asylum seeker has been accused of raping and impregnating a 10-year-old year in a migrant refuge center in the northern Italian region of Lombardy.

Zelensky Says North Korea Sending Troops To Help Russia Occupy Ukraine

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/zelensky-says-north-korea-sending-troops-help-russia-occupy-ukraine

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky on Sunday publicly condemned increasing Russian-North Korean collaboration regarding Moscow's war in Ukraine, which Zelensky for the first time said hasn't stopped at providing arms, but has even witnessed Korean troops present in the battle zone.

"We see an increasing alliance between Russia and regimes like North Korea. This is no longer just about transferring weapons. It is actually about transferring people from North Korea to the occupying military forces," Zelensky stated.

He highlighted the allegation as another reason that Ukraine needs more urgent support from it Western partners. Ukraine forces remain outmanned and outgunned along the front lines in the east. Continue...

Legal Battles Target Supply Chain Keeping Israeli F-35s Flying Over Gaza & Lebanon

https://www.zerohedge.com/military/legal-battles-unfold-over-supply-chain-keeping-israeli-f-35s-flying-over-gaza-lebanon

A slew of court cases around the world are raising questions about the legality and transparency of the international supply chain that helps keep Israeli F-35 fighter jets flying over Gaza and Lebanon. Israel has used the F-35, described by its American manufacturer Lockheed Martin as "the most lethal" fighter jet in the world, extensively in its nearly year-long offensive in Gaza, in which a reported over 41,000 people have been killed.

Best known for its stealth capabilities, the F-35’s use in Gaza, an enclave without an air force where less sophisticated F-16s and F-15s are perfectly capable of dropping bombs, may seem out of place. However, arms control experts and researchers say Israel has had to rely on F-35s to maintain the high volume of strikes conducted over the past year in Gaza and now in Lebanon, where weeks of bombings have killed more than 1,000 and displaced over 1.2 million.

"They need all of their planes to participate," said Noam Perry, strategic research coordinator for the American Friends Service Committee’s (AFSC) Action Center for Corporate Accountability. Israel has been aided by surges in the flow of F-35 parts from the United States, which experts say have been crucial in keeping the planes airborne.

Litigation in the Netherlands has already stopped the transfer of spare parts stored at one of three global F-35 distribution hubs to Israel since February. As four cases against arms exports to Israel move forward, governments in the UK, the Netherlands, Canada and Denmark face difficult legal questions regarding F-35 parts made in their countries.

Ukraine Finally Admits To Russian Breakthrough In Kursk As They Evacuate Sumy

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/ukraine-finally-admits-russian-breakthrough-kursk-they-evacuate-sumy

For those tracking war maps from both sides of the conflict as well as geo-location data for troop positions, the failure of Ukraine's offensive in Kursk is not a surprise. The movement of their forces stalled out only a couple weeks after their initial push into the territory and the Russians have been grabbing back pieces of land ever since. However, for those people only listening to establishment news sources, the retaking of Kursk might come as a shock.

Russian troops have made significant advances from the western flank of Ukrainian positions, and reports indicate a threat of Ukrainian troops being encircled.

The Telegraph, usually a platform for pro-Ukraine propaganda, notes that sources from both sides confirmed the Russian breakthrough, which occurred during the heaviest fighting on Russian territory since Ukraine began its cross-border incursion in August. Continue...

Poland Establishes 49 EU-Funded ‘Foreigner Integration Centers’ To Prepare For Mass Injection Of Migrants

https://winepressnews.com/2024/10/14/poland-establishes-49-eu-funded-foreigner-integration-centers-to-prepare-for-mass-injection-of-migrants/

Announced last week, the EU’s European Commission announced plans to establish 49 so-called “integration centers” nationwide in Poland in order to deal with a mass influx of immigrants pouring into Europe.

The Commission provided details into how these centers will operate and who is funding them, stating:

These ‘one-stop shops’ will provide standardised services to newly arrived migrants and serve as platforms for cooperation between local authorities, the government, and NGOs. The centres are being set up by marshal offices, in cooperation with other institutions dealing with migrants in the respective localities. The implementation partnership in each area must include the province office responsible for legalising migrants’ residence and at least one non-governmental organisation experienced in working with at least 5 groups of migrants.

All CICs are obliged to offer the following services: Continue...

Vietnam wants to enable all of its taxpayers to log into the country’s online taxation platforms with their electronic identification by 2025. By 2030, the country also aims to conduct 90 percent of administrative tax procedures electronically, the government says.

To digitize the tax system, tax payers will receive a tax identification which will also improve administrative services and the country’s population database, according to the General Department of Taxation.

More than 61 million people in Vietnam can already use their national digital identity VneID to log into the eTax Mobile application and personal tax portal iCanhan, news outlet Vietnam Net reports. Continue...

LEVY: The review of Richard Bilkszto’s death is a complete and utter sham

https://tnc.news/2024/10/15/levy-review-bilksztos-death-utter-sham1/

The education ministry review announced more than a year ago into the circumstances leading to the death of beloved Toronto principal Richard Bilkszto was a complete and utter sham, documents obtained by True North show.

While those in the education community, who mourned and commiserated with the much-loved principal, were led to believe that the ministry would do something about the destructive impact of DEI ideology, ministry bureaucrats did nothing more than keep the charade of a review going for months and months.

A 120-page FOI response indicates that ministry bureaucrats spent considerable time over a year covering their butts in response to media requests, sending many e-mails back and forth that accomplished nothing, accepting and subsequently ignoring input from interested parties and kowtowing to the ministry’s DEI bureaucrats from the Kathleen Wynne era.

In the end, they produced nothing.

The same goes for the alleged Toronto District School Board review of the circumstances leading to the tragedy.

Bilkszto took his own life last July.

Both his lawyer and his family said the 24-year principal was dealing with tremendous stress after being humiliated at two DEI training sessions by “race expert” Kike Ojo-Thompson—hired by retiring education director Colleen Russell-Rawlins (who beat it out the door for vacation on Sept. 18, six weeks before her official retirement date).

His suicide came just weeks after he’d filed a $750,000 lawsuit against the TDSB – a lawsuit that has been on hold since his death.

Preaching her anti-black racism dogma, the DEI consultant singled out Bilkzsto repeatedly at two sessions in the spring of 2021 for daring to challenge her.

She called him a “white supremacist” and berated Bilkszto in front of 200 colleagues, claiming that he, in his “whiteness,” thought he could tell her what’s going on for black people. Continue...

Liberal MPs are signing an internal petition to oust Trudeau

https://tnc.news/2024/10/15/liberal-mps-internal-petition-oust-trudeau/

There’s a growing movement within the Liberal party caucus to oust Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Internal sources have said Liberal MPs are adding their names to an internal petition being passed around that calls for a leadership change.

In the aftermath of the Toronto-St. Paul’s byelection loss this summer, several frustrated MPs hosted a string of meetings to discuss the party’s path forward without Trudeau at the helm.

Multiple sources told CBC News on anonymity that more talks flared up following the Montreal byelection defeat and then again this week as Trudeau’s chief of staff Katie Telford is away in Asia for a summit.

In her absence, a pledge calling for the prime minister to resign is being passed around for MPs to sign.

According to multiple sources, the document is being used as a means to secure support for leadership change in the face of Trudeau and his supporters refusing to step down.

While the document is being kept tightly away from the public eye, sources said that it has already been signed by as many as 20 MPs, as well as others and will be brought forth once it has enough signatures. Continue...

Deaths in Western Australia town increase sevenfold after covid vaccine rollout

https://expose-news.com/2024/10/15/deaths-increase-sevenfold-after-covid-vaccine/?ref=truth11.com

During a special council meeting on Friday, a Port Hedland Town Councillor made the shocking revelation that his town has gone from one funeral a week to more than one funeral a day since the covid injection rollout.

He also noted that they have had to build a new cold body storage facility to accommodate the increase in deaths.

On 11 October a Special Council Meeting was held in the Western Australian town of Port Hedland. It was called by three Port Hedland Town Councillors: Adrian McRae, Lorraine Butson and Camilo Blanco.

Councillor McRae, who made a statement about the synthetic DNA and SV40 contamination in covid injections, said: “What happens when someone receives billions of these SV40 fragments in a single shot? What happens when these contaminated shots are administered multiple times as they have been to millions of Australians including Australian children?

“My own company, GDTK, here in Hedland, has just finished the construction of a cold body storage facility here in Wedgefield [an industrial area north of Port Hedland]. Since when did Port Hedland need to have extra cold body storage facilities?

“I spoke with the company owners who we built it for, [a] local funeral director. They told me that in 2020 at the height of covid, they were doing on average one funeral a week – one. Since the injection rollout they’re doing over one funeral a day.

“That’s almost a sevenfold increase. It’s frightening.” Continue...

‘Elite’ Ukrainian troops surrendering in Kursk Region – Chechen commander

https://www.rt.com/russia/605755-elite-ukrainian-troops-surrender-kursk/

Despite Kiev’s efforts to maintain morale, many members of their nationalist units can no longer fight, Apty Alaudinov has said

Many members of the ‘elite’ Ukrainian units that invaded Russia’s Kursk Region surrender because they are no longer able to fight and want to stay alive, Major-General Apty Alaudinov, commander of the Akhmat Special Forces from Russia’s Chechen Republic, has said.

In an interview with Russian journalist Vladimir Solovyov on Tuesday, Alaudinov rejected Kiev’s claims that Russian soldiers executed nine Ukrainian service members, allegedly drone operators, in Kursk Region.

The general dismissed the claim as a psyop, arguing that Ukraine “needs to create fake news to discourage its military from surrendering,” as many of its soldiers “openly say they can fight no more.” Despite these efforts, he added, Ukrainian soldiers “often decide to surrender anyway.”

“What’s interesting is that the units that they considered to be the most unassailable and elite, they are also beginning to slowly lean toward surrendering, as they want to stay alive,” he said. Continue...

US, Canada name Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network as terrorist group

https://thepostmillennial.com/us-canada-names-samidoun-palestinian-prisoner-solidarity-network-as-terrorist-group

Donations for Samidoun are processed through the Alliance for Global Justice, which claims to be "a little bit people's thinktank, a whole lot of organizing."

The United States and Canada have officially designated the Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network as a terrorist entity. They call the group "a sham charity that serves as an international fundraiser for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine," which is designated a terrorist organization and has been since 1997. That group, the PFLP, uses Samidoun to raise money in the US, Canada, and abroad for their actions. Samidoun is based in Vancouver, Canada.

The two nations also took action against the PFLP's Khaled Barakat, who plays a key role in the leadership of the terrorist group in raising money for their cause. Barakat is a Canadian citizen who works to support the fight against Israel by gaining support and funds internationally. Samidoun has directly called for "death to Canada." Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has previously called for the group to be banned in Canada. Continue...
