Britain must get Shamima Begum back to London and give this wilful traitor an honest trial

Why is the UK more concerned about Shamima Begum's citizenship than bringing her to justice? It is essential she faces a jury in a British court, so the public can fully understand why traiterous behaviour is unacceptable.

I agree with the Court of Appeal's ruling that Shamima Begum should be allowed to return to the UK to fight the decision to remove her citizenship. The decision to revoke it was wrong, and not allowing her to return to Britain was ill-judged, because it deprived the public of the right to pass judgement on her traitorous behaviour.

What's at issue is not simply Begum's right to fight for the return of her citizenship, but also the importance of holding to account those who have apparently betrayed their national community.

Five years ago, Begum - then aged 15 - was one of three schoolgirls who left London to join the Islamic State group in Syria. To this day, she does not appear to regret her decision to commit an apparent act of treason and join and support a terrorist death cult comprising some of her nation's sworn enemies.

Comment: Perhaps one reason why the British government doesn't seek to try Begum in a court of law is because it will call attention to the criminal complicity that their intelligence and military community is guilty of in fostering and propping up the radicalization of those vulnerable to such indoctrination. Like the US and Israel, the UK has instigated, supplied and supported much of the foreign and domestic terror attacks that we have seen over the past two decades.

Nick Cannon dubs Jews 'magnificent people' in long apology after anti-Semitism charges, stays mum about calling whites 'savages'

RT
Thu, 16 Jul 2020 16:36 UTC

Entertainer Nick Cannon has offered a lengthy apology after creating a wave of controversy with anti-Jewish remarks in a recently published interview, but offered no mea culpa for similar inflammatory comments about white people.

"First and foremost I extend my deepest and most sincere apologies to my Jewish sisters and brothers for the hurtful and divisive words that came out of my mouth during my interview with Richard Griffin," Cannon said in the first of a series of tweets on Wednesday night, adding that he is "ashamed" his comments "reinforced the worst stereotypes of a proud and magnificent people."

Comment: It's always nice to have a PR person write your public apologies for you. It really screams sincerity and authenticity, not to mention genuine remorse.

Cannon landed himself in hot water earlier this week after posting an interview with rapper and former Public Enemy member Richard Griffin, believed to have been recorded sometime last year. In the clip, Cannon delved into a number of questionable theories, arguing African Americans are the "true Hebrews," while suggesting the Rothschilds - a wealthy Jewish family that features prominently in a number of conspiracy theories - were part of a cabal seeking to control "everything, even outside of America." The comments swiftly prompted his employer, ViacomCBS, to cut ties with the entertainer.

Comment: One of those statements has a tad more truth than the other.

Wednesday's apology marks a rapid reversal for Cannon, who less than a day prior penned a nearly 1,500-word Facebook post demanding that ViacomCBS apologize instead - saying the company was "on the wrong side of history" - and insisting on "full ownership" of the 'Wild 'n Out' TV series he hosted and helped to create.

Comment: One of the good things about free speech is actual idiots and racists have the freedom to expose themselves for all to see.

Rolling Stone writer says word 'pro-life' is racist, should be retired

Rolling Stone senior writer Jamil Smith opined that the word "pro-life" has so often been used in service to racism and misogyny that it should be retired like the name "Redskins."

Smith made the comment on Twitter while responding to an incendiary comment from Bishop Talbert Swan against pro-life voters.

"Ironically, the governors most willing to watch their citizens die are the ones who have used 'pro-life' rhetoric to compel people of faith to support the narrow interests of corporate greed & white political power. COVID has revealed how the 'pro-life' movement is killing us," tweeted Swan.

Comment: Number of abortions in the USA in 2016: 620,000. Number of alleged COVID deaths in the US so far: 138,000, many in 'pro-choice' states like New York and California. The U.S. aborts more babies in one year than have died worldwide from COVID-19.

Smith agreed and added that the word should be cancelled.

"This point cannot be emphasized enough, or too often," tweeted Smith.

Comment: Says this clown. Yes, it can be emphasized too often. Once is more than enough.

"The moniker 'pro-life,' so often used in the service of not just misogyny but also racism, should be retired right along with Aunt Jemima and the 'Redskins' team name," he added.

The dehumanizing condescension of 'White Fragility'

The popular book aims to combat racism but talks down to Black people.

I must admit that I had not gotten around to actually reading Robin DiAngelo's White Fragility until recently. But it was time to jump in. DiAngelo is an education professor and — most prominently today — a diversity consultant who argues that whites in America must face the racist bias implanted in them by a racist society. Their resistance to acknowledging this, she maintains, constitutes a "white fragility" that they must overcome in order for meaningful progress on both interpersonal and societal racism to happen.

White Fragility was published in 2018 but jumped to the top of the New York Times best-seller list amid the protests following the death of George Floyd and the ensuing national reckoning about racism. DiAngelo has convinced university administrators, corporate human-resources offices, and no small part of the reading public that white Americans must embark on a self-critical project of looking inward to examine and work against racist biases that many have barely known they had.

New from Teen Vogue: Sleep is systemically racist

" ... to navigate as an activist or organizer ... creates a lot of burnout."

Teen Vogue, in its imperishable desire to act as the spearhead for political correctness, published an article titled "Black Power Naps Is Addressing Systemic Racism in Sleep," in which they plugged an artistic initiative entitled "Black Power Naps," which argues that blacks have had shorter lives than whites because blacks were not permitted to sleep, and thus reparations must be given in the form of time off from work.

Teen Vogue writes of Fannie Sosa and Navild Acosta, who created Black Power Naps, that they "were tired, but it wasn't just any old fatigue. Yes, they experienced a lack of sleep, but they were specifically experiencing a generational fatigue familiar to Black people and people of color."

Comment: Sleep deprivation is, unfortunately, part of the current human condition. To try to use that as a means of browbeating race cards into their readers is entirely typical of Teen Vogue, an absolute trash rag. By teaching their young readers to see racism everywhere, even in sleep, they're ensuring the future generation will be even more coddled and useless than the previous one.

Police used water cannons and batons against protesters who stormed the parliament in Azerbaijan's capital Baku. The crowd demanded mobilization amid border escalation with Armenia, but officials said that it's unnecessary.

Enraged protesters broke into the parliament building around 4am local time, local media reported. Arriving several minutes later, police used batons to expel the intruders.

Parliament's Protocol Office told reporters that the rioters caused some "damage" on the building's first floor before being driven out.

The confusion in government goes beyond face masks

The Spectator
Fri, 17 Jul 2020 07:26 UTC

When Michael Gove delivered the Ditchley Annual Lecture last month he spoke about why citizens feel that the political system has failed them. 'The compact leaders offered — trust that we are the best, trust that we have your best interests at heart, and trust that we will deliver — was broken.' It was a powerful message. Voters have a right to expect honesty and competence from their leaders, not just decisiveness.

So Mr Gove will have thought carefully before saying on television last weekend that face masks should not be mandatory, and people should instead be left to use their own judgment. No one, it seems, told him that the Prime Minister was hours away from asking the police to enforce the wearing of masks in shops with a £100 fine for failure to comply. Polls suggest 60 per cent of the public support this move, but the proportion of government scientific advisers who agree is harder to ascertain.

'Our advice is clear,' said Chris Whitty, the chief medical officer, in March. 'Wearing a mask, if you don't have an infection, really reduces the risk almost not at all. We do not advise that.' His deputy, Professor Jonathan Van-Tam, was also emphatic. There is 'no evidence', he said, that the wearing of face masks by healthy members of the public slows the spread of the virus. At one stage, companies who advertised masks as a tool against the virus were prosecuted by the Advertising Standards Authority for making misleading claims.

Hackers targeted Twitter employees to hijack accounts of Elon Musk, Joe Biden and others in Bitcoin scam

Twitter shares sank Thursday, a day after hackers gained access to more than a dozen high-profile accounts, including those of Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Joe Biden, former President Barack Obama, Elon Musk and the corporate account of Apple.

The accounts displayed tweets telling followers to send bitcoin to a specific address.

Share prices were down more than 5% in Thursday's premarket.

Comment: The implications of this are huge. If Twitter has a lapse in their security so massive that the former president and vice president, as well as some of the most high profile CEOs of major corporations, can have their accounts entirely taken over, think of what could happen if the hackers wanted to achieve something more nefarious than a rather transparent bitcoin scam.

Julian Assange: Damage to the soul of a nation

The imprisonment of Julian Assange has been a catalogue of gross injustice heaped upon gross injustice, while a complicit media and indoctrinated population looks the other way. In a truly extraordinary twist, Assange is now being extradited on the basis of an indictment served in the UK, which is substantially different to the actual indictment he now faces in Virginia if extradited.

The Assange hearing was adjourned after its first full week, and its resumption has since been delayed by coronavirus. In that first full week, both the prosecution and the defence outlined their legal arguments over the indictment. As I reported in detail to an audience of millions, Assange's legal team fairly well demolished the key arguments of the prosecution during that hearing.

This extract from my report of the Defence case is of particular relevance to what has since happened:
