NOW HIRING: Civil Liberties Lawyers

https://www.rebelnews.com/now_hiring_civil_liberties_lawyers

Our Fight The Fines civil liberties project now represents well over 1,000 Canadians who have been hit with lockdown tickets.

But there’s a problem: we need more civil liberties lawyers! We have so many cases, we simply need more help.

Do you know a practicing lawyer who loves civil liberties? If so, please invite them to join us.

Usually, civil liberties work is “pro bono” — which means the lawyer doesn’t get paid for it. But Rebel News is pleased to say, our viewers help us crowdfund reasonable fees for freedom-fighter lawyers.

So it really is a dream job for lawyers — fighting for the little guy, against absurd lockdown laws, and getting paid for it.

We need lawyers in all the provinces and territories. If you know anyone who would like to help, please have them contact us at legal@rebelnews.com.

They should be familiar with the project — they should watch some of our videos at www.FightTheFines.com to know what the work will look like.

We think this is the most important civil liberties project in Canada right now — and it is a tremendous opportunity to make a difference in these difficult days.

If you know a lawyer — or if you’re a lawyer yourself — please consider it, and let us know at legal@rebelnews.com

Pastor Artur, lawyer react to charges dropped against Pastor Tim Stephens

https://www.rebelnews.com/pastor_artur_lawyer_react_to_charges_dropped_against_pastor_tim_stephens

Many Albertans were thrilled to learn that the contempt of court charge against Pastor Tim Stephens relating to Justice John Rooke’s May 6 order was dropped on Friday, but perhaps none more so than the other pastors across the province facing similar charges.

It is important to note that charges being dropped on one case does not necessarily dictate that the same will occur elsewhere, but the move did set some legal framework for other proceedings in the province.

Rebel News has been covering the stories of many persecuted pastors across the country, but Pastor Artur Pawlowski is no doubt one of the most well-known religious freedom fighters in Canada, if not the world. The news of the victory for Pastor Tim had many wondering whether charges would also be dropped against Pastor Artur.

We spoke to Artur and his brilliant lawyer Sarah Miller about Pastor Tim’s exciting news.

Sarah noted that while there are some incidental differences between the two pastors’ cases, both Artur and Sarah are hopeful that Alberta Health Services lawyers will acknowledge that factually, the similarities are too numerous to deny, and that authorities will drop the charges against Pastor Artur as well.

Pastor Artur and his family prayerfully await good news, but until it comes, he and Sarah Miller are busy preparing for his June 28, 2021 court date.

Please help pay the legal fees of Pastor Artur by making a donation. Donations go to The Democracy Fund, a registered Canadian charity that is now helping the FightTheFines.com project. So, you can now get an official charitable receipt for a donation made on this page, and use it to reduce your Canadian taxes.

Trudeau’s doomed UN Security Council bid cost taxpayers over $8.6 million

https://tnc.news/2021/06/02/trudeaus-doomed-un-security-council-bid-cost-taxpayers-over-8-6-million/

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s failed pet project to get Canada a seat at the United Nations Security Council cost taxpayers over $8.6 million.

According to the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF), Trudeau’s doomed campaign had a final bill of $8,664,524.

Records show that a majority of the funds went towards paying the salaries of the bureaucrats tasked with handling the campaign. In total, $6,218,498 went towards salaries while an additional $2,446,026 went towards “operational expenses.”

Despite the millions Trudeau dedicated to acquiring a seat, Canada came in third place behind Ireland and Norway.

“Wasting millions of dollars for a seat on the UN’s security council would be bad enough, but spending over $8.6 million to finish in third shows that this campaign was a big swing and a miss for taxpayers,” said CTF Federal Director Franco Terrazzano.

“The amount the government spent on each vote is more than many Canadians earn each year.”

When broken down based on the 108 votes acquired during the campaign, Canada spent over $80,227 per vote.

True North reached out to the office of the Minister of Foreign Affairs for comment but did not hear back in time for publication of this report.

As the CTF notes, a full breakdown of the costs has yet to be released by the federal government.

Prior revelations show expenses like paying $24,000 to purchase Canada-themed candies and $140,000 on a trip for Trudeau which was cancelled.

“We already know the government spent more than $1,000 on cookies and key chains during the failed campaign,” said Terrazzano.

“Taxpayers are eagerly waiting to see what else the government thought would be a good idea to spend our money on in its efforts to impress UN bureaucrats.”

As revealed by True North, the Canadian mainstream media gave Trudeau a pass for his failed bid while a similar effort by former prime minister Stephen Harper was lambasted and ridiculed by outlets like the Globe and Mail and the CBC.

Is the media narrative getting away from the facts of this story?

https://tnc.news/2021/06/02/is-the-media-narrative-getting-away-from-the-facts-of-this-story/

The country has been shaken by the apparent gruesome discovery of the remains of 215 children found buried at a former B.C. residential school.

Many in politics and media are condemning this as murder, and even genocide.

This is obviously a very sad story, and a sensitive topic for our country.

But do the facts of the story confirm these devastating accusations?

True North Founder Candice Malcolm breaks down the facts, what we know so far and urges caution in allowing emotions to drive public policy decisions.

Did you know the preliminary report has not yet been released? Or that none of this information has been confirmed or verified by an outside party?

Before we accept the very worst accusations against our country, we should at the very least wait for the report to be released.

Child health organizations condemn Ontario decision to keep schools closed

https://tnc.news/2021/06/02/child-health-organizations-condemn-ontario-decision-to-keep-schools-closed/

Several leading children’s health and pediatrics organizations are condemning the Ontario government for refusing to open schools in the province for in-person learning.

The Children’s Health Coalition, which is composed of SicKids, Empowered Kids Ontario, McMaster’s Children’s Hospital and several other children’s health groups released a statement on the matter on Wednesday.

“As leaders in children’s health, we are deeply disappointed that Ontario has not acted upon the broad consensus for a regional re-opening of in-person learning. This consensus included children’s healthcare, public health, scientific experts and teachers’ organizations,” wrote the Children’s Health Coalition.

“In the past 15 months, Ontario public school students have only been in school for approximately five months. There are few places in the world where kids have been out of school more than in Ontario, and no other Canadian province has had school closures this long.”

The statement was prompted by the Ontario government’s announcement earlier today that it would not allow students to return to the classroom until September.

“By remaining cautious and vigilant, we protect our summer. We protect September,” said Education Minister Stephen Lecce during a press conference.

According to Ontario Premier Doug Ford, the Ontario government can’t justify the decision to re-open the schools without assurances that it wouldn’t lead to an increase in new COVID-19 cases.

Prior to the decision to close schools, the coalition put out a statement urging the Ontario government to open the schools for in-person learning. The statement noted how school closures have created a mental health crisis for kids in the province.

“We are witnessing a crisis in children’s mental health with a dramatic increase in the utilization of acute mental health services. Schools play an essential role in the recovery process. In-person school provides students with routine and structure, accountability, socialization and recognition of abuse and neglect,” claimed an open letter by the group.

Ontario is currently the only province where students are being prohibited from attending school.

‘Porn is leading to the enslavement’ of young people: Canadian MP

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/porn-is-leading-to-the-enslavement-of-young-people-canadian-mp

Arnold Viersen describes how there is a growing bipartisan coalition inside the Canadian Parliament to fight and solve these issues.

June 2, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) — In the latest episode of The Van Maren Show, Canadian Conservative MP Arnold Viersen joins Jonathon to discuss how he is combatting internet porn, digital sexual abuse, and human and child trafficking in Canada. He describes how there is a growing bipartisan coalition inside the Canadian Parliament to fight and solve these issues.

Viersen highlights how Canada has some of the highest numbers of digital porn usage, especially among youth. He points out that “85% of 15 to 35 year-old males are viewing pornography on a weekly basis.” The parliamentarian says that this has led to the “normalization” of porn in the country, that is violent and abusive to children and women.

Viersen talks about how he has seen the movement to combat online sexual violence grow in recent years, and it has become largely politically bipartisan. He mentions that “one of the big issues that all of them seem to have in common is combating human trafficking.”

Together with members from the Liberal, NDP, and Conservative parties, as well as independents, Viersenn formed the All Party Parliamentary Group to End Modern Slavery, aiming to fight human trafficking.

Viersen is also taking action to fight Pornhub, the largest distributor of pornography. The companz is based in Canada. The Alberta MP says that late last year, The New York Times exposed that Pornhub is home to millions of videos depicting child sexual abuse and trafficking. He states that his coalition in Parliament is focused on stopping Canada from being the “headquarters of the largest porn company in the world.”

Lastly, Viersen vows that with “the consumption of porn leading to the enslavement of many young people” in Canada, he will continue to campaign against pornography and its connections to human trafficking.

Catholic teacher nominated for atheist ‘person of the year’ award for classroom LGBT activism

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/catholic-teacher-nominated-for-atheist-person-of-the-year-award-for-classroom-lgbt-activism

The Canadian Atheist award honors those who've had the 'greatest positive impact in Canadian secularism, humanism, atheism and freethought.'

TORONTO, June 2, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) – The “Canadian Atheist” website nominated a Catholic teacher from the Toronto Catholic board for its 2021 “person of the year” award that is given to the individual who had the “greatest positive impact in Canadian secularism, humanism, atheism and freethought” in the previous year.

While Grade 1 Catholic school teacher Paolo De Buono ultimately did not win the award, he made the “runner-up” list for “standing up for LGBTQ2S+ students in the Catholic school system.”

The Canadian Atheist, an independent blog with multiple contributors that aims at providing articles of interest to atheists, secularists, humanists, and freethinkers, praised De Buono’s efforts in asking the Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB) last year to recognize “Pride” month.

“Paolo De Buono is a teacher, and he was teaching his students about reality — about the fact that LGBTQ2S+ exist, and they are people too,” the Canadian Atheist stated on its website about the nominees for the award.

“Indeed, after his (ultimately fruitless) campaign to get the Toronto District Catholic School Board to recognize Pride Month, De Buono didn’t slack off. He continued to keep tabs on the Board — particularly throughout the scandalous review of the conduct of trustee Micheal Del Grande (who compared accepting people’s gender identity with accepting paedophilia, cannibalism, and bestiality) — and on other Catholic districts across Ontario,” the website states.

“For demonstrating what it means to be a good teacher in a bad system — or at least, a good teacher forced to work under a bad Board — for making space for LGBTQ2S+ in a school system whose leaders hate them, and for keeping tabs on Ontario’s Catholic school boards and their progress toward LGBTQ2S+ tolerance, Paolo De Buono definitely deserves his nomination for person of the year,” it added.

While De Buono’s efforts to influence the TCDSB to recognize Pride month last year failed, the board decided this year not only to declare June “Pride month” but to fly the pro-homosexual “Pride” flag on all schools within the board during the month of June.

The Canadian Atheist states on its website that it is not an organization and is not affiliated with any other organization or group. Its awards are offered to individuals who “progress the causes and interests of humanism, secularism, freethought, or atheism in Canada, even if that wasn’t their explicit motivation.”

“All of the nominees this year, as every year, are more than deserving of this award. Every one of them was a shining light of hope and encouragement in a very dark year. They were exactly the heroes we needed, exactly when we needed them the most,” the website states.

De Buono makes no secret about how he indoctrinates Catholic school children to accept LGBT ideology.

In a May 10 Youtube video, De Buono provides a tour of his “rainbow room” where his virtual classes take place. Along with a checkered rainbow-colored rug, his room includes a bastardized pro-LGBT version of one of the world’s most revered images of Our Lady – the Black Madonna, bedecked with a rainbow-colored halo.

“It’s a very, very beautiful image that adds a lot to the classroom,” said De Buono in his video.

The room also contains a virtual bookshelf with a number of pro-homosexual children’s books, including “The Boy who cried fabulous”, “Be who you are!”, “I love my purse,” “Pride Colors,” and others. Children can click on the books to access more information about them.

For the month of June, De Buono added a “Pride” flag to his virtual room.

“My Pride Month / Pride Day classroom is ready,” he tweeted June 1. “There's a Pride flag near the cross, a link to today's board-wide Pride celebration & an environment that welcomes students, saying in effect, ‘It's OK to be gay in a Catholic school/classroom.’”

He revealed in a June 1 tweet the kind of pro-homosexual conversations he has with his students.

This morning in my Gr. 1 classroom waiting for the live stream:

Dear Canadian Parents: Will You Give Informed Consent For Your Child To Get The Covid-19 Injection?

https://www.sgtreport.com/2021/06/dear-canadian-parents-will-you-give-informed-consent-for-your-child-to-get-the-covid-19-injection/

Dear Canadian Parent, with the recent announcement from Health Canada in May 2021 that children 12 and older have been cleared to receive the Covid-19 vaccine, you are now faced with a highly consequential decision: whether or not to consent to your child getting this injection.

And, I think you will agree, this decision cannot be justified as a simple continuation of the regular schedule of childhood vaccines, for several reasons:

TRUTH LIVES on at https://sgtreport.tv/

1. This product is not a traditional ‘vaccine,’ because by definition vaccines use the actual virus (dead or weakened) to stimulate the production of antibodies that will fight off future infections. This product is actually an experimental mRNA gene manipulator, in that it forces our cells to make a new protein to trigger an immune response which, allegedly, will then trigger our body to produce antibodies that will supposedly protect us from this virus.

1. Not only do manufacturers have complete immunity from prosecution if this injection causes bodily harm or death to your child, Canada has not yet set up a vaccine injury compensation program for victims of injury.

1. A thorough risk/benefit analysis for giving this product to your child, who statistically has a 99.96% recovery rate from the disease, has not been established by Health Canada or any other agency promoting this product.

This product is the first ever “vaccine” in the world to have purportedly been developed and approved within less than 2 years. It has not had to follow the legally mandated safety protocols, which involve years of testing and trials, because it has been cleared for ’emergency use only.’ Aside from mounting evidence of short-term injury and death, its mid-term and long-term effects are absolutely impossible to determine.

Now far be it from me, dear parent, to tell you what choice to make. You are the one who bears the full weight of responsibility for providing consent on behalf of your child. My only urging, and the point of this letter, is that such consent be informed. The argument that your child will ‘have to’ get the vaccine, so you might as well do it sooner than later, does not hold water. It is well established in Canadian law that Canadians have personal sovereignty with regards to what is put into their bodies. You remain responsible for making an informed decision on behalf of your child.

I became informed about vaccines just before my son was born in 2014. I had real trepidation and ambivalence about the vaccine issue, and whether or not I would be comfortable with my son receiving vaccines. I had heard arguments on both sides, but hadn’t looked into it in depth. I decided to read a book from each side of the argument, ‘The Vaccine Book’ by Robert Sears, and ‘Dissolving Illusions’ by Suzanne Humphreys. Once I had read these two books, and had done some follow-up research, my mind was made up for life.

Quinn: There Are No Solutions, Part 2

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/quinn-there-are-no-solutions-part-2

In Part One of this article I described the circumstances which make it impossible to change the system from within. The past year should put the final nail in that coffin. Now on to what is in our control.

“Experts agree that it is only a matter of time before one of these epidemics becomes global - a pandemic with potentially catastrophic consequences.”

– Center for Health Security – October 2019

The boldness and extremeness of their actions since the Fall of 2019 seem out of character with their usual shrouded machinations behind the scenes, where the public is ignorant of their actions. Something broke within the debt saturated financial system and Powell was ordered to restart QE and start reducing interest rates to fend off disaster. In a fascinating coincidence, Event 201, a pandemic simulation, was conducted on October 18 in New York City, jointly run by The Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, World Economic Forum, and Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The four-year coup attempt by the Deep State against Trump was floundering, with their pathetic last gasp impeachment farce in January 2020.

The weaponization of the Chinese bio-weapon lab virus into a global pandemic narrative accomplished numerous objectives for the Deep State. It provided cover for the Federal Reserve to funnel trillions into the pockets of the criminal Wall Street cabal and their billionaire clientele. It provided the means for Democrat governors and mayors to use it as an excuse to allow mass mail-in voting in order to fraudulently steal the election. Destroying the economy through unnecessary worthless lockdowns and blaming it on Trump gave the Democrats a further impetus to steal the election.

Convincing the entire nation masking and lockdowns stopped the spread (they did not) allowed the ruling class to exercise tyrannical authoritarian un-Constitutional mandates with little to no push back from the masses – giving them the confidence to push further. Cases and deaths were plummeting before vaccines were rolled out in any quantity, but the media mouthpieces and lying politicians will credit the jab for decline.

US Seizes Domains Used by SolarWinds Hackers in Cyber Espionage Attacks

https://thehackernews.com/2021/06/us-seizes-domains-used-by-solarwinds.html

Days after Microsoft, Secureworks, and Volexity shed light on a new spear-phishing activity unleashed by the Russian hackers who breached SolarWinds IT management software, the U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) Tuesday said it intervened to take control of two command-and-control (C2) and malware distribution domains used in the campaign.

The court-authorized domain seizure took place on May 28, the DoJ said, adding the action was aimed at disrupting the threat actors' follow-on exploitation of victims as well as block their ability to compromise new systems.

The department, however, cautioned that the adversary might have deployed additional backdoor accesses in the interim period between when the initial compromises occurred, and the seizures took place last week.

"[The] action is a continued demonstration of the Department's commitment to proactively disrupt hacking activity prior to the conclusion of a criminal investigation," said Assistant Attorney General John C. Demers for the Justice Department's National Security Division.

"Law enforcement remains an integral part of the U.S. government's broader disruption efforts against malicious cyber-enabled activities, even prior to arrest, and we will continue to evaluate all possible opportunities to use our unique authorities to act against such threats."

The two domains in question — theyardservice[.]com and worldhomeoutlet[.]com — were used to communicate and control a Cobalt Strike beacon called NativeZone that the actors implanted on the victim networks. The wide-scale campaign, which was detected on May 25, leveraged a compromised USAID account at a mass email marketing company called Constant Contact to send phishing emails to approximately 3,000 email accounts at more than 150 different organizations.

Cyber Espionage Attacks

Once the recipients clicked on the embedded link in the email message, a sub-domain of theyardservice[.]com was used to gain an initial foothold into the victim machine, exploiting it to retrieve the Cobalt Strike backdoor to maintain persistent presence and potentially deliver additional payloads. "The actors' instance of the Cobalt Strike tool received C2 communications via other subdomains of theyardservice[.]com, as well as the domain worldhomeoutlet[.]com," the DoJ said.

Microsoft attributed the ongoing intrusions to the Russian threat actor it tracks as Nobelium, and by the wider cybersecurity community under the monikers APT29, UNC2452 (FireEye), SolarStorm (Unit 42), StellarParticle (Crowdstrike), Dark Halo (Volexity), and Iron Ritual (Secureworks).

Cyber Espionage Attacks

The company has since identified three more unique pieces of malware used in the infection chain, namely BoomBox, EnvyScout, and VaporRage, adding to the attackers' growing arsenal of hacking tools such as Sunburst, Sunspot, Raindrop, Teardrop, GoldMax, GoldFinder, Sibot, and Flipflop, once again demonstrating Nobelium's operational security priorities when targeting potentially high-risk and high-visibility environments.

While BoomBox is a downloader to obtain a later-stage payload from an actor-controlled Dropbox account, VaporRage is a shellcode loader used to download, decode, and execute an arbitrary payload fully in-memory. EnvyScout, on the other hand, is a malicious dropper capable of de-obfuscating and writing a malicious ISO file to disk and is delivered in the form of a malicious HTML attachment to spear-phishing emails.

The attacker's practice of changing tactics several times over the course of its latest campaign underscores the widespread damage that could be inflicted on individual victims, government agencies, non-governmental organizations, and private businesses, not to mention reflect on its pattern of establishing access on one system or account and then using it as a jumping-off point to gain access to numerous targets.

In "significantly" differing from the SolarWinds hack by way of evolving its tools and tradecraft, the modus operandi enables a high level of stealth that allows them to remain undetected for extended periods of time, the researchers noted.

"Nobelium is an actor that operates with rapid operational tempo, often leveraging temporary infrastructure, payloads, and methods to obfuscate their activities," Microsoft said. "Such design and deployment patterns, which also include staging of payloads on a compromised website, hamper traditional artifacts and forensic investigations, allowing for unique payloads to remain undiscovered."
