(Oh, the irony . . . )
"Meanwhile, to avoid inadvertently ending up on the Hate List, people begin to watch their words, meaning they begin to watch their thoughts..."

One of the problems with trying to police "hate" is that it gives the Thought Police an incentive to persecute their fellow citizens, and if they do not find a sufficient number of haters lurking in their midst, they invent them. There is now an entire sector of "experts" dedicated to eradicating hate, and it seems they are now concerned that there may not be enough hate to sustain their hate-finding activities.

Leading the Thought Police in the fight against hate is the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), a multimillion-dollar Orwellian Ministry of Love. In Orwell's 1984, he writes that, "The Ministry of Love was the really frightening one." It is the arm of the party machine charged with designating who is guilty of Hate and forcing them to confess their thoughtcrimes.

A former BBC News boss has claimed she was driven out of her job by colleagues who were trans activists.

Fran Unsworth who was the Corporation's Director of News and Current Affairs from 2018 to 2022 said the news division became 'increasingly unmanageable' during her tenure because of a pressure to adopt what she called a 'mono-perspective' on trans issues.

She said: 'I would actually say it drove me out, just dealing with the progressive editorial issues and the bullying around them all. It was incredibly difficult.'

The former BBC executive delivered her criticisms in an interview with her former colleague Rob Burley which was published by the website UnHerd yesterday (Saturday).

Her comments will compound the worst fears of viewers who believe that the BBC has embraced a radical gender ideology which is out of step with mainstream public opinion.

We're living in the age of consequences

Lookie here...

The United Arab Emirates recently announced it would quit OPEC after nearly six decades, striking a major blow to the oil cartel and to Saudi Arabia, its unofficial leader.

Let's be clear, the UAE didn't leave OPEC. They were bought out. You may recall that this event was preceded by two major developments that tell the actual story. The first was the shutting of the Strait of Hormuz (SoH). This bled UAE finances and continues to do so. It creates not only a loss of revenue but a shortage of dollars with oil being sold for dollars. This is why the US provided the UAE with dollar swap lines.

The UAE is also highly dependent on the US military not abandoning them. They already realise that has happened to some degree, but looking around their neighborhood they realise they have no friends and so cling to whatever is left of US security promises.

The market immediately saw this as a step towards more production, since the UAE would no longer be constrained by OPEC's agreed quotas, but the reality is that productive capacity has been destroyed (refineries bombed, wells capped).

What's important to think about is that swap lines are nothing more than a credit card, and debt is the ultimate tool of slavery.

Canada's assisted suicide program could include children and the mentally ill

Canada's MAID program is the subject of ongoing concern among anti-globalist movements across the western world. The assisted suicide system kills around 15,000 or more Canadians each year and is quickly expanding to include more and more people who are not terminally ill.

Almost all assisted suicide programs are created by liberal governments and all of them are initially promoted as a way to "end the suffering" of people who are close to death anyway. However, this is merely the first stage of the greater goal, which is to normalize the government sanctioned killing of almost anyone for any reason.

Keep in mind, the activists and politicians who constantly pontificate about the need for mass immigration into the west from the third world in order to solve population decline are the same people who support mass abortions and mass suicides. They are also, for some reason, staunchly against the government execution of murderers. It doesn't make rational sense, until you realize these people are psychopathic.

Canadian Conservatives are currently fighting for a freeze on expansion of the MAID program in an effort to prevent the addition of people who are not near death. Prime Minister Mark Carney says he is "waiting to take a position". Many physicians working within the socialist government are pushing for assisted suicide to include people well outside "terminally ill" status

Depopulation won't save us or the planet

Global population
© AdobeStockOverpopulation
In recent years, a strand of environmental thinking has emerged that places population at the center of ecological crises. Some activists, including figures associated with the Extinction Rebellion and the Stop Having Kids movements in the United Kingdom and the United States have expressed anti-natalist views, arguing that choosing not to have children is a meaningful response to climate change. The reasoning is lucid and, at first glance, convincing: fewer people should mean less consumption, lower emissions, and more space for the natural world to recover.

Yet this argument becomes less compelling when examined more carefully. Depopulation, on its own, is neither a sufficient nor a reliable solution to environmental problems. Once questions of timing, infrastructure, and land use are considered, the connection between population decline and environmental improvement appears far more uncertain.

So where does wokeism come from? A French intellectual gives the perfect bite-sized explainer

How did wokeism happen?

A French intellectual, who goes by Brivael Le Pogam on X, has written a tightly focused and brief explanation of it worthy of Eric Hoffer, putting his finger on the thinking of French philospher-historian Michel Foucault, French philosopher Jacques Derrida, and French philospher-literary critic Gilles Deleuze, the first of whom claimed there was no such thing as truth, just power relationships, the second of whom claimed truth was malleable, and the third of whom made the really weird claim that seeds were greater than fully developed trees because becoming was more important than being, poor romantic devil. Married to guilt-tripping academics of the U.S., he explains how wokery was the result.

His tweet is in French, but Grok translate kicks in on my site, so I will post the translation below the tweet.

The Law&Crime Network channel on YouTube obtained the police interview of trans militant Collin Bailey, aka "Mia," admitting to the double murder of his "transphobic" parents in Washington City, Utah in June 2024.

In the interview, Bailey blamed his mother for allegedly interfering with his planned transgender surgery. Bailey said his mother contacted the hospital to warn staff that her son had serious issues that needed to be addressed. He decided to kill his entire family as revenge.

After fatally shooting his mother and father, Gail and Joseph, Bailey also fired into his brother's bedroom. The bullets narrowly missed him.

Comment: This is even more evidence that these young people need serious psychological help.

How "Blood Libel" became Israel's shield

Allegations Once Dismissed as Antisemitism Are Now Widely Documented

No sooner was New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof's report about Israeli soldiers' systematic sexual torture of Palestinian prisoners published this past week than the charge of "blood libel" was suddenly leveled everywhere at Israel's critics. It's what Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has accused Kristof and the Times of spreading; what the Israeli foreign ministry is charging them with; what pro-Israel protesters are yelling outside the paper's headquarters; and what various propaganda arms of the US pro-Israel lobby are flinging.

To be clear, "blood libel" is a centuries-old antisemitic myth that Jews ritually killed Christian children and baked their blood into their bread. Kristof's article is a thorough piece of reporting based on interviews with fourteen Palestinian survivors, as well as with their families, investigators, and officials, and which survived the New York Times's fact-checking process and famously pro-Israel editorial line. The two have absolutely nothing in common.

America's worst prosecutor struggles to explain why Democrats keep protecting illegal alien murderers

The U.S. Department of Justice has launched an investigation into Descano for preferential treatment of violent illegal aliens.

After being presented with piles of evidence showing his office systematically allows violent criminal illegal aliens back on the street, Steve Descano, the George Soros-backed Fairfax County, Virginia, Commonwealth's Attorney, continued to claim his office does everything in its power to prosecute them properly.

Descano testified before the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement in a hearing titled "Fairfax County, Virginia: The Dangerous Consequences of Sanctuary Policies," alongside Fairfax County Sheriff Stacey Kincaid, former Republican Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares, Cheryl Minter, the mother of a woman murdered by an illegal, and others.

In a heated exchange with Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, regarding Descano's preferential treatment of illegals in sentencing — requiring that their immigration status be considered in a way that will protect them from deportation — Descano claimed the promise to shield illegals was merely an empty campaign promise.

Comment: Fairfax and the surrounding areas appear to be quite the cesspool: Newly-elected governor, Abigail Spanberger promises to make it worse:

The black hole devouring western economies

Black Hole
© Islander Reports
There's a massive black hole devouring the Western economies, and it's been expanding for decades. Year after year, it pulls in huge amounts of money that could have gone toward building real infrastructure, new factories, better technology, and actual productive growth, only to pump it straight into ever higher home prices.

This might be one of the biggest overlooked explanations for why so many Western economies feel stuck despite the official numbers. The same destructive pattern is playing out in the UK, Australia, and New Zealand.

In a healthy economy, when prices for something rise, the market responds by increasing supply. Capital flows in, production ramps up, and things balance out. Simple self-correction that keeps everything stable.

But picture an asset class where supply is basically fixed no matter how much money chases it. Think prime urban land or housing stock in big cities. Flood it with investment, and the only result is higher prices. No new quantity appears to meet the demand.

Let's call it the rentier asset black hole.
