Liberals Embrace Islamic Extremism in Canada Despite warnings from U.S. officials, Canada’s lax border policies and political denial have allowed Islamic extremism to take root and spill into the United States. By William Barclay

https://amgreatness.com/2025/06/02/liberals-embrace-islamic-extremism-in-canada/

When FBI director Kash Patel condemned Canada for allowing Islamic terrorists to gain a foothold in North America, Canadian politicians and pundits, including new Prime Minister Mark Carney, dismissed Patel’s assertions as baseless fearmongering.

Unfortunately, it is clear that the Trump administration is correct: Radical Islamic ideology has become endemic in Canada over the past decade.

The Canadian Security Intelligence Service itself has confirmed that, since 2015, radical Islamic ideology has become commonplace throughout Canadian society, as a result of the porous borders and the Liberal government’s unwillingness to effectively regulate the influx of international migration into Canada. Numerous terrorist leaders and those with intimate connections to terrorist organizations, such as Samidoun and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, have been permitted to migrate within the Canadian state and promote their own nihilistic ideology over the past decade.

Islamic schools in Canada are not compelled to abide by a standardized curriculum and, consequently, covertly promote radical Islamic ideology and extremism to vulnerable children in Canada. At one prominent Islamic school in Canada, the East End Madrassah, administrators were recently pressured to issue a public apology after it was exposed for “… teaching children that treacherous Jews conspired to kill the Islamic Prophet Mohammed.”

Since 2015, explicit Islamic terrorist acts have become increasingly prevalent in Canada.

According to data from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, “[N]early a dozen terrorism-related incidents [have occurred] in Canada or abroad involving Canadians” since Oct. 7, 2023, alone. In addition, “The number of terrorism charges laid in Canada jumped 488% last year,” and “Canadian police have foiled six terrorist plots in the last 12 months alone, with arrests spanning from Edmonton to Ottawa to Toronto.” The Liberal government recently publicly downplayed a report from the United Kingdom’s Foreign, Commonwealth, & Development Office that a “terror attack attempt in Canada is very likely.”

URGENT: World Health Organization About to Give Itself Unlimited Power ‘Dr.’ Tedros Will Decide How You Must Live by Robert Williams

https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/21659/urgent-world-health-organization-about-to-give

On May 20, the WHO Pandemic Treaty was adopted at the 78th session of the World Health Assembly in Geneva, Switzerland. It will have to be ratified by at least 60 states, however, before it can come into effect, which means that it is up to citizens to prevent that from happening.

The deadline to opt out of the International Health Regulations is July 19 –less than two months from now. It is time to notify your lawmakers to take immediate action in their parliaments and say NO to these regulations. So far, no country has opted out, and due to lack of media coverage most people appear completely unaware that a problem even exists.

Last summer, on June 1, 2024, WHO’s 194 member states agreed to sweeping amendments of the WHO’s International Health Regulations that give WHO’s Director-General — currently “Dr.” Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus — not a medical doctor, and to all appearances in the pocket of China — overwhelming authority to declare not only actual international public health emergencies, but also potential ones.

“The WHO is as interested in public health as the arms industry is in world peace: Not at all.” –Christine Anderson, German member of the EU Parliament for the Alternative für Deutschland party, X , May 2, 2023

On July 19, unless stopped, the unelected UN officials of WHO are about to give themselves the power to declare … lockdowns, vaccines, restrictions, possibly “fines” — in short, the rollout of whatever response they find necessary — and all member states would have to comply.

“The WHO’s proposed amendments… present the most serious threat to national sovereignty in a generation.” — Suella Braverman, former UK Home Secretary, telegraph.uk, April 20, 2025

Now public health, according to the WHO and its member states, is intertwined with “climate change.” If Bill Gates, the climate warrior, and his WHO cohorts feel like it, they can declare a climate pandemic, pronounce lockdowns and a rollout of whatever measures they might see fit “to save the planet.”

Sadly, [WHO] is a fully disgraced and corrupt body, so deeply in the pockets not only of [Bill] Gates and the pharmaceutical industry, but also of Communist China.

During Covid-19, the WHO and “Dr.” Tedros actually praised China for its “extraordinary” handling of the pandemic.

“If you liked how the COVID-19 crisis was handled – in large measure thanks to the incompetence and malfeasance of the WHO and the insidious influence of the perpetrator, the Chinese Communist Party,… – you’re going to love this new world order. Among its consequences will be: universal health IDs, vaccine mandates, obligatory censorship, technology transfers, open-ended financial costs and the proliferation of viruses with the potential to cause pandemics – all ‘managed’ by greatly empowered and unaccountable international bureaucrats.” – Frank Gaffney, X, April 17, 2025

There is, however, another, newly acquired, instrument in the UN’s toolbox, “The Digital Compact,” that seeks to make it impossible to criticize this new UN/WHO reign of terror:

Without an ever-present, imminent and terrible sounding “pandemic” there would be no legitimacy for WHO to seize all this power and gain access to so much control. This arrogation of power to itself could reasonably turn into runaway totalitarianism unless lawmakers step up immediately and demand that their governments object to the amendments to the International Health Regulations — and opt out of them.

The World Health Organization (WHO) might finally be getting just what it wanted: Unlimited power and control.

They Dress Like Cops – But Enforce Sharia From London to New York, Islamic enforcers are claiming the streets. by Aynaz Anni Cyrus

https://www.frontpagemag.com/they-dress-like-cops-but-enforce-sharia/

We all know what Sharia enforcement looks like in the Islamic world.

We saw it when Mahsa Amini was murdered on September 16, 2022 by Iran’s “morality police”—beaten to death for resisting their hijab code.

She wasn’t some rebel.

She was a 22-year-old girl with a little too much hair showing. And they killed her for it.

That brutality sparked global outrage.

And then—just like the outrage—it faded.

Western feminists removed the hashtags. Politicians moved on. But the system that killed her didn’t disappear. It just got quieter—and closer.

But Sharia didn’t.

It just changed zip codes.

Across cities like London, New York, and Wuppertal, Germany, Islamic vigilantes are now patrolling Western streets—in police-style or military-like uniforms—confronting civilians, issuing Sharia commands, and declaring entire neighborhoods “Muslim zones.”

These aren’t volunteers.

They aren’t public servants.

They’re self-appointed enforcers of Islamic law—operating freely in democratic countries.

Qatar – The Real Face of the Snake How does a tiny Gulf state wield such outsized power – and why does the West keep looking the other way? by Dave Gordon

https://www.frontpagemag.com/qatar-the-real-face-of-the-snake/

How could it not raise eyebrows? Donald Trump is set to invest some $5.5 billion in Qatar, according to news reports, and he’s just received a $400 million jet from the Qataris.

This is the same Qatar that unabashedly hosted Hamas leaders, and funds the terror organization into the billions of dollars. It’s the same oil-rich country that is bankrolling Al Jazeera, a channel virtually synonymous with Jihadist propaganda, and that is also being sued for having alleged terror ties. To top it off, Qatar’s Deputy Prime Minister has a history of pro-Hamas tweets.

Yet, if Qatar’s place in the world could be described as a Facebook relationship status, it’d be “It’s complicated.”

Complicated, indeed. After all, Qatar has announced that it is no longer playing the role of mediator between Israel and Hamas, and that it is closing the terror group’s offices within its borders. The country the size of Connecticut has also invested $50 million in pro-Trump American media Newsmax in 2019 and 2020. It gave the green light to thousands of fresh kosher meals being provided to Israelis during the 2022 World Cup in Doha, which now hosts a recently opened Jewish center.

Additionally, Qatar also houses Al Udeid, the largest U.S. military base in the Middle East with 10,000 troops, a sign of cooperation that arose after the U.S.’s Saudi military base was shut down.

“It’s a massive amount of money that they have spent on an air base, that America got for free. And what they have done through this direct foreign direct foreign investment, is they have effectively convinced American decision makers, Congress people, the White House, to look the other way,” says Jonathan Schanzer, senior vice president of research at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies.

In an exclusive interview with this author, Schanzer described the country of 330,000 citizens as “this weird place” that, by his calculation, has “invested $150 billion to $300 billion in the United States’ influential spheres” — which has been revealed in detail lately by The Free Press.

In 2023, The New York Daily News reported that Qatar invested advertising contracts and sponsorships for A-list media and entertainment outlets such as Foreign Policy, VOX, Sundance, and Buzzfeed. $5 million was given to the L.A. Mayor’s Fund, and $20 million for the Nixon Foundation, and the Endowed Journalism Fellowship for the Carter Center. The “Qatari influence ecosystem” expands its reach to think tanks, influencers, PR firms, lobbyists and universities, and all of this “has effectively advanced the virulently antisemitic and anti-Israel views of the Al Thanis.”

India and Pakistan: ‘A Bad Nuclear War’ by Gordon G. Chang

https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/21654/india-pakistan-nuclear-war

The Trump administration, which had previously displayed a lack of interest in the conflict, then quickly intervened and brokered a ceasefire.

“[T]he possession of nuclear weapons may have incentivized risky confrontations that pass just below the ambiguous nuclear threshold.” — Aqil Shah, Foreign Affairs, May 23, 2025.

Pakistan did not have to detonate one of its nuclear warheads to shake the world. Now, an emboldened Islamabad will almost certainly hit India again.

Nukes are supposed to moderate national leaders and make them cautious. When it comes to India and Pakistan, however, the opposite now looks true.

“We stopped a nuclear conflict, I think it could have been a bad nuclear war, millions of people could have been killed, so I’m very proud of that,” President Donald Trump told reporters on May 12.

Proud he should be. Although New Delhi refuses to acknowledge Washington’s role in brokering a ceasefire between India and Pakistan, the Trump administration was nonetheless instrumental in stopping fighting that could have escalated, as Newsweek wrote, “to the brink of all-out war.”

On April 22, gunmen murdered 26 Hindu tourists and others at Pahalgam, in Indian-controlled Jammu and Kashmir. Pakistan also claims that territory.

New Delhi blames Islamabad for harboring militants who staged the attack. Pakistan denies involvement.

Heather Mac Donald The Blatant Lie of Germany’s Elite Parties opposed to the Alternative for Deutschland (AfD) continue to block it from exercising its rights—all in the name of stopping “fascism.”

https://www.city-journal.org/article/germany-alternative-for-deutschland-afd-party-committee-chairmanships

Germany’s self-proclaimed democracy defenders are at it again: blocking a law-abiding party from exercising its rights—all in the name of protecting democracy.

The Alternative for Deutschland (AfD), a pro-free market, anti-EU, anti-mass migration party, placed second in Germany’s recent parliamentary elections, earning nearly 21 percent of the vote to the top vote-getter’s, the Christian Democratic Union’s, 28 percent. The AfD placed well ahead of the once-dominant Social Democratic Party (16 percent) and the Greens (11 percent).

By longstanding tradition, the AfD should have been allotted committee chairmanships and vice chairmanships based on its February vote share. Doing so would have meant that the powerful budget, interior, and finance committees, along with three other committees, would have been under AfD direction, giving it the possibility of shaping legislation. But in a reversal of what is normally an automatic affirmation, on Wednesday, May 21, the other parties in Parliament voted down the AfD chairmanships and put those six committees in the control of other, often less popular, parties. The far-left Die Linke (the Left) party, which had garnered just 9 percent of the parliamentary vote, was awarded two chairs.

The rationale given for this anti-democratic coup is a recent designation of the AfD as a right-wing extremist party. On May 2, 2025, four days before parliamentary power was to change hands, outgoing Interior Minister Nancy Faeser from the Social Democratic Party announced that Germany’s domestic spy agency (the BfV) had slapped that label on the AfD, based on a 1,000-page secret dossier. According to press leaks, the dossier appeared to consist of public statements by AfD leaders, many already chewed over endlessly by the party’s opponents, relating to Germany’s mass migration problem.

AfD representatives have asserted, for example, that Germans have a cultural history tied to their ethnic and national identity; that this history and identity deserve protection; and that unchecked illegal migration threatens national cohesion.

‘Tyranny in Disguise’: Will Democracy Survive in Europe? by Guy Millière

https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/21652/democracy-tyranny-europe

In 2022, the European Union adopted the Digital Services Act (DSA), which is supposed to “protect the rights of social media users” and “provide a safer online environment” by “limiting the spread of illegal and harmful content.” What constitutes “illegal and harmful content” was not defined and could be anything the European Commission defines as such, along with the right to impose fines and shut the websites down.

The reason given by Germany’s domestic intelligence agency for designating AfD an “extremist organization” is neither fascism nor racism. In fact, not a single AfD leader advocates fascist or racist positions, and, what actually may be objectionable to many Europeans, is that AfD is “the most pro-Israel and philo-Semitic” party in Germany.

This anti-democratic drift has taken hold in several European countries. Politicians and parties who disagree with the worldview of the officials in power are increasingly being excluded from any possibility of running for an official position…

In France, Marine Le Pen, who polls show is in first place for the 2027 presidential election, was sentenced to five years of election ineligibility and four years in prison for allegedly embezzling public funds.

Le Pen did not embezzle public funds…. The Democratic Movement, a centrist party led by French Prime Minister François Bayrou, did exactly the same thing as the National Rally with its MEPs’ assistants, but Bayrou was acquitted by a judge.

Most European leaders today refer to the parties and politicians they wish to exclude as “far right.” The term is used to refer to racist, xenophobic and authoritarian parties. None of the parties mentioned above shows the slightest tendency toward racism, xenophobia and authoritarianism half as much as their opponents do.

Many European leaders today appear blind to the consequences of ever-increasing immigration, and a growing Muslim presence in Europe. They are dismissive of the Muslims’ continuing mass-migration, enthusiastic birthrate, and they remain stubbornly deaf to the concerns shouted by their non-Muslim citizenry.

European leaders and governments have moved away from what once bound Europe and the United States, such as freedom of speech and free and fair elections, the results of which are actually enacted. Can the anti-democratic drift that has gripped several large European countries be stopped? (Images source: iStock)

Instead, he says that the most worrying threat today is “the threat from within, the retreat of Europe from some of its most fundamental values.” He adds that European countries and institutions are undermining democracy and freedom of speech — and gives examples.

“A former European commissioner,” Vance states, “went on television recently and sounded delighted that the Romanian government had just annulled an entire election.”

China’s Covert Pursuit of Global Dominance By Janet Levy

https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2025/05/china_s_covert_pursuit_of_global_dominance.html

China’s global ambitions are rooted in the allure of an ancient concept for the Chinese people—the Middle Kingdom, envisioning China as a divinely appointed ruling nation that is central and superior to others. In the Art of War, Sun Tzu crystallized this idea into the ideal of a benevolent Chinese emperor conquering the entire world—Tianxia, or All-Under-Heaven—without violence or destruction.

But trust the communists to twist the very antithesis of Marxism — a God-based, imperialistic idea — to serve their own designs. Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), positions himself as central to a Chinese world order “that will surpass and supplant the Westphalian system” by 2049. Therefore, his actions must be viewed in light of Tianxia.

A year after he came to power in 2012, he launched the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), an ambitious investment in infrastructure aimed at connecting East Asia and Europe. This initiative has since expanded to Africa, Oceania, and Latin America. The BRI must be recognized for what it is: a covert, long-term operation for military expansion and strategic presence.

Through BRI’s extensive loans and assistance in building ports and highways, China has gained significant economic and political influence in nearly 150 of the 193 U.N. member countries. The U.S. and its allies must prepare for China transforming such vast influence into military advantages, as it has already done in many areas. In confronting the dragon, we must remain wary of its winding tail.

China’s influence-mongering is ideology-agnostic. If a country aligns with China’s strategy to displace the U.S. as a global power, the type of regime—whether fascist, authoritarian, Islamist, or communist—matters little. In fact, writes Col. John Mills (Ret.), China has primarily partnered with countries where regimes are insecure and individual rights are non-existent—much like in China.

He claims that Russia, North Korea, Iran, Venezuela, Zimbabwe, Cuba, Pakistan, and South Africa are all now “de facto colonies of China.” At the same time, he points out that China aims to dominate the U.N. and other international organizations. In this struggle, he argues that the efforts of those advocating for a free world have been undermined by globalist elites who pander to China when it benefits them.

China’s strategic activities in Africa and the Middle East over the last two and a half decades serve as a case study of how the dragon operates. The advantages China has gained now threaten U.S. interests in the Horn of Africa, which includes Somalia, Djibouti, Ethiopia, and Eritrea, and provides significant control over the Gulf of Aden, the Red Sea, and the Indian Ocean.

The So-Called Trump-Ramaphosa ‘Ambush’ Trump’s meeting with Ramaphosa was a long-overdue reality check on South Africa’s hostility, hypocrisy, and dependence on U.S. aid and trade. By Victor Davis Hanson

https://amgreatness.com/2025/05/26/the-so-called-trump-ramaphosa-ambush/

othing highlights the poverty of the media-Democratic mind than its weary use of echo-chamber buzzwords. Once Pravda-like instructions are sent out from DNC operatives, mindless media anchors mouth them in lockstep as gospel.

So, it was with the supposed “ambush” when South African President Cyril Ramaphosa met Donald Trump. Trump indeed pressed his guest on a number of issues, from the decades-long targeted killing of white agriculturalists on their farms by black hit teams that have totaled somewhere between 1,500 and 3,500, depending on how one defines such targeted killings.

Trump further wanted an explanation from Ramaphosa on his government’s new legislation aimed at land confiscation without compensation, and the de facto vanishing number of Boer farmers.

Trump was further bewildered by Ramaphosa’s assertion that the new law would not be used to take private property without paying for it (“No, no, no, no. Nobody can take land”), when in fact that was the very purpose of the new legislation in the first place. Trump also showed Ramaphosa videos highlighting a resurgence of South African extremism of the tired “Kill the Boer” sort.

The dictionaries define “ambush” roughly as “a surprise attack by people lying in wait in a hidden or concealed position.”

Ramaphosa’s visit was no surprise. He, not Trump, requested it. Ramaphosa spoke openly to the media before the meeting that he was planning to convince Trump that there were neither widespread killings of white farmers nor arbitrary confiscation of land.

In sum, Trump was the host; Ramaphosa was the guest, who requested the meeting to present his case for a return of a number of concessions from the U.S. He knew Trump would raise issues that had estranged South Africa from both the president and Congress, and he was calmly prepped, as expected, to offer counterarguments.

But why was Ramaphosa so eager for a meeting?

Elbows up: Woe Canada by Diane Bederman

https://dianebederman.com/elbows-up-my-ass/

The Elbows Up campaign fooled Canadians and that led to too many Canadians voting for the Liberal libtards: again.

How many times do Canadians have to be hit in the head before they realize it’s time to say “No More”?

We are now learning that PM Mark Carney; appointed, installed, erected to his position, lied through his teeth. He lied about the tariffs. He talked the talk and crawled the walk. And now, because he only won a minority government, suddenly there are all these recounts and ALL of them are going Liberal. A playbook right from the Democrats. It isn’t going to work.

As a Boomer, I am appalled and disgusted that my age group voted Liberal, again. I spoke to 40 year old men with children who told me before the election that they thought Canada would be better for their children and grandchildren if Canada were to become 51st state. Now that’s a switch.  It has been said, if you vote Conservative when you are 20, you have no heart. If you vote Liberal when you are 40 you have no brain.

Trump was trolling. Do you really think Republicans want Canada? It is Liberal.

But Carney said he would be tough on Trump

“We must respond with both purpose and force,” Prime Minister Mark Carney said in response to American tariffs. Those comments were made on April 3 as Carney stood in Ottawa reacting to Donald Trump’s flurry of tariffs on his so-called “Liberation Day.”
