Canadian report blames Iranian 'recklessness' for downing Ukrainian passenger jet

mourning UIA plane crash

Relatives of the flight crew members of the UIA plane that crashed in Iran mourn at a memorial at Boryspil International Airport outside Kyiv.
An official report by Canadian experts says it has found no evidence that the downing of a Ukrainian passenger plane shot down after takeoff from Tehran early last year was "premeditated." Tehran rejected the charge as "baseless and unacceptable."

Ukraine International Airlines (UIA) flight PS752 crashed on January 8, 2020, while en route to Kyiv, killing all 176 people on board. More than 130 of them had ties to Canada. Citizens or residents of Afghanistan, Britain, Iran, Ukraine, and Sweden were also killed.

Days after official denials, Iran admitted that a unit of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) had inadvertently shot down the plane when it fired two missiles amid heightened tensions with the United States.

Republican lawmakers introduce bill to study Antifa involvement in riots

antifa mob
Rep. Don Bacon, along with Reps. Rodney Davis, Tony Gonzalez, David Joyce, Nancy Mace, Maria Elvira Salazar and Van Taylor, introduced a bill Thursday to investigate Antifa's involvement in the explosive riots that took the nation by storm in 2020.

Specifically, the legislation would establish the National Commission on Domestic Terrorist Attacks on the United States, an independent bipartisan commission structured similarly to the 9/11 commission.

"While the majority of participants in demonstrations across the country in 2020 were peaceful, the events themselves became destructive due to organized pushes for violence by Antifa," Bacon said. "Many cities were burned, and businesses destroyed. Retired police officer David Dorn was shot and killed while protecting a business. People were harassed while simply eating at outside restaurants, and Americans across the nation feared for their lives. We're still seeing violence in Portland in recent weeks. Just as with the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, we must learn the truth about who is behind the violence and who is pushing the narrative to try and weaken our country and scare people into submission."

Fearless: Jason Whitlock's letter to black America explaining the real purpose of made-for-TV racial conflict

Dear Black People:

We are being lied to and set up. The mainstream media, Democratic politicians, social justice activists, and perhaps even your church pastor have led you to believe America is in the midst of a racial conflict similar to the Civil War and the civil rights movement.

They have pitted us against the Proud Boys, the KKK, rural militia groups, and Trump supporters in a made-for-TV race war. Just five years after Barack Obama completed two terms as president of the United States, we're supposed to believe America has been overrun by violent white supremacists determined to reinstate segregation, Jim Crow laws, and maybe even slavery.

Is QAnon alive and well in the yoga community?

qanon shaman
Fans of the online conspiracy account QAnon are apparently spreading among the California yoga & wellness community after a connection between the group and former La Habra police chief Alan Hostetter was found yesterday.

The news on QAnon has been sparing after the pandemic, but with the Hostetter investigation, it seems the group may not have been laying low after all. It was discovered that Hostetter, who is facing charges for his involvement in the January 6th Capitol Insurrection, also advocates for the use of yoga as a miracle cure for his recovery from spinal surgery, seemingly linking QAnon with yoga.

Though this is the most recent link, it seems as if QAnon has continued to grow into this community, which many speculate is primed for their reportedly extremist views - though many differ in that opinion. We searched the internet for more news on QAnon and how it has grown into the California yoga scene. Dive into this latest connection now.

Comment: It's probably not the case that those in the yoga community have any more affinity for Qanon than in any other community. They probably could just as easily have looked at connections between Qanon and Little League Baseball or hipster knitting circles. But it makes for a good story!

"We've approached this responsibility with a focus and diligence for your families health and safety," CEO Richard Davis says in a newly released video.

Illegal DNRs, ventilators & involuntary euthanasia

DNR bracelet
The rise in the use of Do Not Resuscitate orders (DNRs), and the suggestion that patients are being compelled to sign them, or even having them signed on their behalf in secret, has been one of the more concerning narratives to come out of the last year of "pandemic".

As early as April of 2020, entirely mainstream publications, such as the Health Service Journal (HSJ), were running articles expressing concern over the "unprecedented" rise in "illegal" DNR orders for those with learning disabilities.

In June 2020 the Independent picked up the story, citing some troubling examples found by charity workers and family members:
In one example, a man in his fifties with sight loss was admitted to hospital after a choking episode and was incorrectly diagnosed with coronavirus. He was discharged the next day with a DNR form giving the reason as his "blindness and severe learning disabilities"

[...]

Marie-Anne Peters, whose brother Alistair has epilepsy but no other health conditions, overturned a DNR on her brother which included instructions for him not to be taken to hospital.

Conspiracy theorists claim John McAfee tweeted he was storing secret stash of government data at building WEEKS before it collapsed

The antivirus software tycoon was found dead on Wednesday allegedly from suicide by hanging, one day before the Champlain Towers building collapsed
Conspiracy theorists are claiming the Miami building that collapsed Thursday housed a giant stash of data on 'government corruption' collected by the late antivirus tycoon John McAfee.

Fact-checkers pouring scorn on the theory have not dampened the enthusiasm of internet sleuths, who have been sharing online an alleged tweet by McAfee from June 8 claiming that he had '31 terabytes' of files in a condo in the collapsed building.

DailyMail.com has been unable to verify whether the tweet is real or a fabrication.

Screenshots shared online appear to show the message from McAfee's Twitter account, from June 8, 2021 at 10:03am on saying: 'If anything ever happens to me, please know that the 31TB of files I have are located on hard drives in my condo near 88th Street and Collins Avenue just north of Miami Beach.'

There is no such tweet currently on his twitter feed. It may have been tweeted and later deleted, or could be complete fabrication.

Another new scientific study concludes covid originated in November 2019, BEFORE wet market cases and exact same day lab workers got sick

Scientists at the University of Kent in the UK have published new research that concludes it is most likely the virus that causes Covid-19 was circulating in Wuhan in November 2019, or even weeks earlier in October, before any cases linked to the Huanan wet market were reported in December 2019.

The research, which used methods from conservation science, according to reports, finds that the most probable date of the emergence of the virus was November 17, 2019.

The paper notes that SARS-CoV-2 could have first appeared from early October and concludes that it had already circled the globe by January 2020.

The findings correlate EXACTLY with U.S. Intelligence that at least three researchers working at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, where coronavirus experiments were being conducted, were hospitalised in mid November 2019 with symptoms matching those of COVID.

The conclusion of the paper also dovetails with previously unconfirmed claims by the South China Morning Post that there exists Chinese government data documenting initial cases on November 17, 2019, the exact same day that the new paper cites as the most likely time of the emergence of the virus.

Chinese authorities are looking into the cause of the fire
A fire tore through a martial arts training centre in China during the early hours of Friday morning, killing 18 people, with one state media outlet saying most of the dead were children who were staying there.

The blaze broke out at 3 a.m. (1900 GMT Thursday) and was later extinguished, the government of Zhecheng county, in Henan province, said on its website. It was unclear what caused the fire, which injured 16 people, four of whom were in serious condition, it said.

Most of the casualties were students aged between 7 and 16 staying on the centre's second floor, the Beijing Youth Daily said in a report that was later deleted from its website.

One in ten Australians living in the state of Victoria have said they "seriously considered suicide" during the Covid-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns, according to a new survey.

In its latest issue, the Journal of Psychiatric Research reported that one in ten of over a thousand Victorians surveyed "reported having seriously considered suicide in the prior 30 days" when the poll was taken in September 2020.

Furthermore, one in five Victorians experienced suicidal thoughts during lockdown, while one-third said they suffered "anxiety or depressive disorder symptoms."

Shockingly, the survey also revealed that 12.3% of Victorians had "started or increased substance use to cope with the pandemic," while over 20% had experienced insomnia during lockdown.
