CBC investigation finds steep rise in church fires since reports of potential graves at residential schools...

In a barren field of sagebrush alongside a road through the Osoyoos Indian Band, Chief Clarence Louie stands atop a concrete pad and surveys the rubble in front of him. This used to be the front entrance to St. Gregory's, the simple wooden church that hosted countless community celebrations, dinners and religious services, on the reserve just north of the Canada-U.S. border in central B.C.

The church had stood for more than one hundred years as a symbol of the Catholic faith, but on June 21, 2021, someone burned it to the ground.

Louie recalled being forced to go to the church as a child to learn the word of God. He didn't like it.

"We were heathens, right?" he said from the church steps. "We were savages. We had to come in here and have the white man save our souls. That's what we were taught."

Dozens have drowned or frozen to death while trying to cross into Romania amid Kiev's conflict with Russia, the newspaper reported...

More than 20 Ukrainians have died while trying to escape the country since the start of the conflict with Russia, The Times newspaper reported on Thursday, citing a Ukrainian border guard.

The deaths were registered by a single guard unit, responsible for a 320km stretch of the border with Romania and Hungary. The unit is based in the western Ukrainian city of Mukachevo, which has become a popular destination for people trying to flee, given its proximity to four neighboring states - Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, and Romania.

Since the outbreak of the hostilities in February 2022, the Mukachevo border guard unit has found 19 bodies in the River Tisza - of people believed to have drowned during botched attempts to cross into Romania. A further five were found frozen to death in the woods.

More Ukrainians are expected to flee the country given the government's plan to mobilize an additional 500,000 troops to bolster its military ranks, the newspaper noted.

Comment: If you have to draft civilians, you are not winning the war. You are killing the public you are at war for.

Two US Navy sailors were reported missing at sea while conducting operations off the coast of Somalia on Thursday evening, the US military said in a statement on Friday, adding that search and rescue operations were ongoing to locate them.

"The sailors were forward-deployed to the US 5th Fleet (C5F) area of operations supporting a wide variety of missions," the US Central Command said. The statement added that additional information would not be made available until the personnel recovery operation was complete.

Comment: Some are speculating that these are causalities of a secret operation against Yemen:

Reality hits: Hertz is selling 20,000 electric vehicles to buy gasoline cars instead

Hertz, which has made a big push into electric vehicles in recent years, has decided it's time to cut back. The company will sell off a third of its electric fleet, totaling roughly 20,000 vehicles, and use the money they bring to purchase more gasoline powered vehicles.

Electric vehicles have been hurting Hertz's financials, executives have said, because, despite costing less to maintain, they have higher damage-repair costs and, also, higher depreciation.

"[C]ollision and damage repairs on an EV can often run about twice that associated with a comparable combustion engine vehicle," Hertz CEO Stephen Scherr said in a recent analyst call.

And EV price declines in the new car market have pushed down the resale value of Hertz's used EV rental cars.

"The MSRP declines in EVs over the course of 2023, driven primarily by Tesla, have driven the fair market value of our EVs lower as compared to last year, such that a salvage creates a larger loss and, therefore, greater burden," Scherr said.

Comment: EV are getting in more crashes! An interesting admission. In China, Tesla had a problem with their cars crashing when on auto-pilot, though it isn't clear what the reason is in the US. It is clear though, from a few headlines seen below, that there is a problem.

REVEALED: SEC in 'active and ongoing' investigation into Rumble

A new report has revealed that the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has undertaken an investigation into the free speech video platform Rumble.

In a report from Wired, Rumble and a letter from the SEC to the outlet have confirmed that the SEC is investigating the platform for allegedly inflating investor metrics.

In a response to a public records request that the outlet had filed in November, Melinda Hardy, the SEC's assistant general counsel for litigation and administrative practice, wrote, "We have confirmed with Division of Enforcement staff that the investigation from which you seek records is still active and ongoing."

Comment: Rumble has suffered endless attacks since its inception due to the nature of being a free speech platform. The authorities don't like that. As long as investors see the attacks for what they are and 'hold the line', it seems likely this will blow over (provided the SEC doesn't 'find something').

Ex-President of Canadian LGBTQ+ pride organization faces charges for child sexual exploitation and possession, distribution of child abuse material

Sean Edward Leonard Gravells
Sean Edward Leonard Gravells, 39, the ex-president of the North Peace Pride Society, is now facing multiple sex crime charges, including child pornography offenses.

The B.C. Prosecution Service spokesperson Dan McLaughlin confirmed the charges to Black Press Media on Tuesday.

Gravells is accused of "touching a person under 16 for sexual purposes, sexual interference of a person under 16, possession of child pornography, and importing or distributing child pornography," according to CBC.

Comment: It's now so common to find people high up in progressive organizations to be uncovered as pedos, it's almost surprising when it's not the case. Predators gravitate to institutions where they'll have the most access and easiest cover for their sick victimizing schemes. Parents should be protecting their children from these organizations as a matter of course.

Douglas Murray: Americans have lost faith in institutions because of the flip-flopping Faucis in power

fauci confessed
© Getty ImagesDr. Anthony Fauci confessed on Tuesday that guidelines to keep six feet of separation to limit the spread of COVID-19 "sort of just appeared" without scientific input.
"How can we restore public trust in institutions?"

This is one of the biggest questions of our time. Something all would-be sages stroke their chins about.

And it is a problem. In recent years, we, the public, have lost faith in institution after institution. Often with very good reason. We've seen a multi-tiered justice system. We've seen the politicization of every government agency. And we've had profound doubts cast — by Democrats and Republicans alike — on the security of the voting system.

Comment: How many times can we be lied to, in bald-faced fashion, and still hold any level of trust? And it's not just lies, it's the completely transparent self-serving nature of the lies that lead to erosion of trust. And Fauci, while completely deserving of everything that's coming to him, is just the latest fall guy in the overall narrative generating machine. The institutions themselves are rotten to the core.

Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.

Johns Hopkins rescinds DEI memo calling white, Christian, English-speaking people privileged

johns hopkins priviledge document
Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine on Wednesday rescinded an email sent recently from its diversity, equity and inclusion chief that called white, Christian, English-speaking people privileged, among several other "social identity groups," according to screenshots of the memo posted on X.

Others listed on the privileged list included: able-bodied people, heterosexuals, cisgender people, middle or owning class people, and middle-aged people.

The January 2024 memo was sent Dr. Sherita Golden, Johns Hopkins Medicine's chief diversity officer and a professor of medicine, who listed "privilege" as the "diversity word of the month." It was sent to employees, according to End Wokeness, the X account that posted the screenshots.

Comment: DEI initiatives are a toxic ideology that forces division and tribalism. Perhaps, as institutions like Johns Hopkins get a taste of how unpopular the ideology is among the public, we may actually see the overt racism start to subside. The sooner it is taken out, the better.
