Bezos does his bit for apartheid: Amazon forcing Palestinians to list themselves as Israelis to access free shipping

Amazon shipping center
Global ecommerce company Amazon has been accused of discriminating against Palestinians by offering free shipping to illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank but not to Palestinians living in the same area.

In findings released in an investigation by the Financial Times, the newspaper discovered that by taking all of the illegal settlement addresses and entering them into Amazon's delivery portal, the company extends its website's offer of free shipping "if your shipping address is in Israel, your items are eligible, and your total order meets the minimum free shipping threshold of $49".

However, customers who list their address as "the Palestinian Territories" are forced to pay shipping and handling fees starting from $24. Amazon spokesman Nick Caplin told the paper that Palestinians can only circumvent the issue "if a customer within the Palestinian Territories enters their address and selects Israel as the country, they can receive free shipping through the same promotion."

To Dr Jordan Peterson: You are NOT an addict and we need your help

jordan peterson
Introduction

On the 7th of February, 2020, Mikhaila Peterson, the daughter of Dr Jordan Peterson, the Clinical Psychologist from Canada who shot to fame in 2016 following some controversies and later went on to write the international best seller, 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos, posted a third family update, this time concentrating exclusively on her Father's battle with the benzodiazepine known as Klonopin (Clonazepam).

Benzo Warrior takes no view on the issues that Dr Peterson has addressed in his book and lectures.

We hope to raise awareness by highlighting his case and to ask for his help in broadcasting our message about the dangers of benzodiazepine dependence and withdrawal.

Comment: We wish Dr. Peterson the full recovery he so richly deserves, and there is no doubt he will turn his hellish experience into a means of helping others.

With regard to the treatment center in Russia, Mihkaila made a telling comment:
She and her husband took him to Moscow last month, where he was diagnosed with pneumonia and put into an induced coma for eight days. She said his withdrawal was "horrific," worse than anything she had ever heard about. She said Russian doctors are not influenced by pharmaceutical companies to treat the side-effects of one drug with more drugs, and that they "have the guts to medically detox someone from benzodiazepines."

At least three activists were arrested by police in London during the annual "Climate Strike".

Student climate change activists, Extinction Rebellion and Antifa took to the streets of London on Friday, joining "Climate Strike" protests across the world, shouting slogans like "climate change is fucking real, give us all a Green New Deal" and "the students united will never be defeated".

In an exclusive Breitbart London video, three of the activists are caught on camera getting arrested by London's Metropolitan Police.

Comment: A bunch of clueless kids play-acting at having a cause. Teenage climate-change protestors have no idea what they're protesting.

Climate zealots have taken Canada hostage and the PM is missing in action

Activists protest in Port Coquitlam, B.C., on Feb. 13, 2020.
I'm familiar with absentee landlords from grade school history. The concept of an absentee prime minister is a brand new one to me.

Justin Trudeau has been a week now waltzing around Africa while, day by day back here in carbon-tax Canada, the country is seizing up. For the same past seven days apparently, Canada has been under the administration of what the media insists on calling "anti-pipeline" forces.

Anti-pipeline is far too narrow. These are the anti-industry, anti-energy, anti-Alberta, climate-change save-the-worlders who have been harassing the country for years. The difference is in the past week they've upped their opposition, and from one end of the country to another decided to muscle their way to a victory by a storm of blockades, protests, traffic obstruction, and in the case of Victoria, B.C., actually shutting down the people's legislature.

Government agents seized $181,500 in cash at airport and won't give it back

A Florida trucking company is suing two federal agencies, saying agents seized $181,500 in cash at Tampa International Airport and won't give it back.

The federal lawsuit filed by FGL Transport, Inc., and owners Scott Smith and Michael Rozenberg asks the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, along with agency officials, to return the money, the Tampa Bay Times reported.

The lawsuit claims that in September, the company gave employee Boris Nulman $191,500 and a plane ticket to Cleveland to purchase several big trucks. When the cash in Nulman's carry-on bag went through a Transportation Security Administration scanner, the agents pulled it aside for an inspection.

Nulman was later allowed to leave, but only with $10,000, according to the lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida. He never went to Cleveland to buy the trucks.

The lawsuit says an agent gave Nulman a receipt to document the $181,500, but the federal agencies now say only $159,950 was confiscated. That's $21,550 less than what the company says was seized.

Comment: Chances are, they will never see that money again. See also:

Trump supporters are George W Bush supporters LARPing as Ron Paul supporters

george dubya revolution
The Trump administration has released its official statement to Congress justifying its drone assassination of Iran's top military official Qassem Soleimani last month. Surprising exactly zero people, the formal notification makes no mention whatsoever of any imminent threat posed by Soleimani, a direct contradiction of this administration's previous claims defending the assassination.

"The Trump administration has been accused of lying after the publication of a new report that undermined its reasoning for assassinating Iranian General Qassem Soleimani last month," reports Middle East Eye. "The chairman of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs said in a statement on Friday that President Donald Trump's official notification to Congress defending the 3 January strike failed to specify an 'imminent threat' posed by Soleimani."

"This official report directly contradicts the president's false assertion that he attacked Iran to prevent an imminent attack against United States personnel and embassies," Democratic Representative Eliot Engel of New York said.

West Point tackles 'toxic masculinity'

If you are a good, committed cultural Marxist and your mission is to help dismantle the cultural, economic, and power structures in the capitalist West from within, how do you undertake such a grand task? How do you subvert an entire civilization? You undermine its foundations, and the most basic building block of all is the nuclear family. To deconstruct the family successfully, you must subvert masculinity, because masculinity is the warrior spirit of that nuclear family. To emasculate a civilization, you indoctrinate its youth to believe that the natural traits typically associated with masculinity - such as aggression, competitiveness, and emotional self-control - are poisonous to society and even to boys and men themselves. You convince men - especially society's warriors - to reject their very nature altogether.

This January, cadets at West Point, the United States Military Academy, were required to attend educational events for "Honorable Living Day," the academy's third such day hosted during the short tenure of Superintendent Lt. Gen. Darryl A. Williams. The first was held last February and focused on eliminating sexual assault and harassment at the academy, which has been co-ed since 1976. The second, held last semester, called upon cadets, staff and faculty to improve the culture in order to combat sexual assault further.

At this most recent Honorable Living Day, the goal was to "expand the discussion beyond sexual assault and talk about how all aspects of the community can come together and promote an atmosphere of honorable living to include diversity, inclusion and acceptance of people from differing backgrounds, races and genders." Lt. Gen. Williams described the curriculum as being "connected" to improving combat readiness.

Douglas Murray: The high price Jordan Peterson has paid for telling the truth

Jordan Peterson Douglas Murray

Close friend Douglas Murray reveals the famous 'professor against political correctness' has paid a high price.
In a dramatic video published on YouTube last week, a woman looked to the camera and delivered a deeply personal announcement.

She revealed that her father, Jordan Peterson, the famous 'professor against political correctness', was in intensive care in Russia after being hospitalised following a severe dependence on benzodiazepines - a class of anti-anxiety pills.

'He nearly died several times,' she says solemnly in the clip that has been viewed more than 2.4 million times.

'He almost died from what the medical system did to him in the West.'

Parisian mayoral candidate drops out of race after Russian freak-artist publishes 'sexting' correspondence - UPDATE: Pavlensky arrested!

Benjamin Griveaux pictured as he announced his withdrawal from the mayoral campaign in Paris.
Emmanuel Macron's candidate for mayor of Paris in next month's municipal elections has been forced to stand down after the leak of sexual images and messages online, blaming what he called "vile" attacks on his private life on social media.

Benjamin Griveaux, who was standing for the president's governing centrist La République En Marche (LREM) party, made the announcement on Friday morning less than 48 hours after the material was first posted to a website.

"My family does not deserve this. Nobody should ever be subjected to this kind of abuse," Griveaux said in a statement after a crisis meeting at his Paris campaign headquarters.

"For more than a year, my family and I have been subjected to defamatory remarks, lies, rumours, anonymous attacks, the revelation of stolen private conversations and death threats. As if all this was not enough, yesterday a new level was reached."

Griveaux has received support since he withdrew from the race from politicians including the prime minister, Edouard Philippe, plus others who would more usually be his opponent. "The publication of intimate images to destroy an adversary is odious," said hard-left leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon.

Most teachers quite disturbed about their unions' push for sexualization and indoctrination of school children

28-year veteran California teacher Rebecca Friedrichs
Speaking in the nation's capital, a 28-year veteran California teacher explained that most teachers are disturbed by the decades-long push to indoctrinate and oversexualize school children by teachers' unions dedicated to far-left cultural and political causes and not the well-being of kids.

"When you hear that teachers are behind comprehensive sexuality education or that teachers agree with the sexualization of children, that's a huge deception," said Rebecca Friedrichs.

On the contrary, "America's real teachers are deeply distrubed by the sexualization of our children," said Friedrichs.

"America's real teachers have been silenced and bullied by the very organization that is pushing the sexualization of children: That is, labor unions," she declared.
