Military Junta in Burkina Faso Amends Family Code Prohibiting ‘Homosexuality and Related Practices’

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/07/military-junta-burkina-faso-amends-family-code-prohibiting/

The loss by the Western colonial powers of political and military influence in Africa has become more pronounced as the military leaders of Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger have just signed a new confederation treaty establishing the Alliance of Sahel States (AES).

This comes months after the three countries withdrew from the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) regional bloc in January.

And as the military juntas move away from the West, they enact policies that run contrary to the nexus of the modern Western culture.

Now, it arises that Burkina Faso’s military junta announced it has adopted the draft of an amended family code that criminalizes homosexuality.

We are the world. We are the people. We are NATO. And we’re comin’ to get ya – wherever you are, whether you want it or not.

Call it the latest pop iteration of the “rules-based international order” – duly christened at NATO’s 75th birthday in D.C.

Well, the Global Majority had already been warned – but brains under techno-feudalism tend to be reduced to mush.

So a gentle reminder is in order. This had already been stated in the first paragraph of the Joint Declaration on EU-NATO Cooperation, issued on January 9, 2023:

“We will further mobilize the combined set of instruments at our disposal, be they political, economic, or military, (italics mine) to pursue our common objectives to the benefit of our one billion citizens.” Continue…

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/07/bombshell-whistleblower-testimony-biden-regime-paying-billions-facilitate/

During a round table held by Republican Senators on Tuesday, federal whistleblowers claimed that the Biden Regime is facilitating the trafficking of migrant children via contractors receiving billions of taxpayer dollars.

Deborah White and her colleague Tara Rodes, who are federal employees in the Health and Human Services Unaccompanied Child Program, both testified that the Office of Refugee Resettlement sent thousands of unaccompanied migrant children into potentially dangerous environments after failing to properly vet the sponsors they were being placed with.

According to White, there’s no question: these kids are being trafficked – and the Biden Regime is “complicit.”

Toronto gun violence surges with shootings up nearly 70%, deaths more than double

https://tnc.news/2024/07/13/toronto-gun-violence-shootings-deaths-double/

Toronto’s streets are rife with gun crime and there are no signs that the shootings are slowing down.

The Toronto Police Service updated its firearm crime portal on July 8, showing that there were 253 shootings this year — an increase of 68.7% compared to the same time last year. Gun crime has resulted in 25 deaths so far in 2024, an increase of 108.3% — more than double the 12 fatalities reported in 2023.

The Canadian Coalition for Firearms Rights questioned in a post to X the logic behind Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s gun ban. The coalition added that youth-involved gun crime has increased 109% despite the policy.

As of Monday, five additional shootings not included in the latest data update have been reported, with one of them leaving a 16-year-old boy dead.

Deputy Chief Robert Johnson previously said that the rise in youth-involved gun crimes is particularly concerning, with young people increasingly recruited by gangs.

He added that 85% to 90% of handguns and assault rifles seized from crimes originate from south of the border, mainly from Ohio, Texas, Florida, and Michigan. Continue…

Nude GTA swimming club open to minors changes rules after social media outrage

https://tnc.news/2024/07/13/nude-gta-swimming-club-children-changes-rules/

An all-ages nude swimming club in the Toronto area has tweaked its rules after its booth at a “family-friendly” transgender pride parade went viral on social media.

Online outrage prompted the all-ages Toronto-based nude swimming club, GTA Skinnydippers, to change its rules. Originally the club welcomed youth aged 14 to 18 to swim naked among adults for free and without parental supervision.

The group had a kiosk featuring members in the nude, advertising the group at the parade that children attended last month in Toronto. The incident was covered widely by media outlets, including True North, prompting questions from Canadians on the legality of the group’s inclusion of children in its events.

The organization has since changed its website and policies, taking an illustration of naked children and photos showing the nude backsides of children with their families off of its site and removing some of the controversial rules that were listed previously.

Wording surrounding the prevalence of erections among male attendees was also altered. Continue…

https://tnc.news/2024/07/13/repatriated-canadian-isis-woman-charged/

Kimberly Polman, a dual Canadian-American citizen, has been arrested and charged with terrorism-related offences following her repatriation from Syria.

Israeli Newspaper Says IDF Employed 'Hannibal Directive' On October 7

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/israeli-newspaper-says-idf-employed-hannibal-directive-october-7

The Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported days ago that Israel's military repeatedly employed a protocol known as the "Hannibal Directive" during the October 7 Hamas-led attack in an attempt to prevent the kidnapping of Israeli soldiers—even if it meant putting the lives of army captives and civilians at risk.

Haaretz found based on documents and interviews with soldiers and senior Israeli officers that Hannibal—an operational order developed in 1986 that "directs the use of force to prevent soldiers being taken into captivity" by enemy militants—was used "at three army facilities infiltrated by Hamas, potentially endangering civilians as well."

Meanwhile, the 'green' cult, their climate alarmist friends, including Greta and Al Gore, and their allies in the leftist corporate media, relentlessly push the fossil fuels and cow farts narratives to explain the so-called global warming crisis.

At Least 90 Dead In Israeli Strike On Gaza Tent Camp Targeting Hamas Oct.7 Mastermind

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/least-90-dead-israeli-strike-gaza-tent-camp-targeting-hamas-oct7-mastermind

Another mass casualty strike has been reported on a refugee camp in southern Gaza, where the local health ministry says at least 90 have been killed, and 300 injured, after Israeli missiles slammed into Al-Mawasi camp, allegedly hitting tents where displaced persons were staying.

Israel has said that most of the victims were likely Hamas, and that it was going after the leader of the group's Qassam Brigades, Muhammad Deif, a mastermind behind the Oct.7 attacks. Throughout the day Saturday the military said it was still investigating whether Deif was killed, of which there's as yet been no confirmation.

Hamas responded by saying Israel’s "allegations about targeting leaders are false" and by design are "merely to cover up the scale of the horrific massacre." Continue…

Poland Authorizes Deadly Force On Border After Spear-Throwing Migrants Murder Guard

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/poland-authorizes-deadly-force-border-after-spear-throwing-migrants-murder-guard

The Poland-Belarus border crisis has intensified over the past month, following the death of a Polish border guard at the hands of a spear-throwing migrant. The death of 21-year-old border guard Sgt Mateusz Sitek on June 6th garnered national and international attention, after days prior to his succumbing to his wounds a sharp spear was hurled from the fence where he was on patrol.

The Telegraph has described that the mostly Middle East/North African (MENA) migrants on the Belarusian side are growing violent and more aggressive. "Dozens of illegal migrants on the Belarusian side of the border with Poland hurled a volley of makeshift spears at Polish border guards through the five-metre-high steel fence," the report said.

"Some fell short of their targets and as the security forces picked them up they saw what appeared to be a tree branch with a steel blade taped to the top." In the attack, "Several were injured in the bombardment and one - Sgt Mateusz Sitek, a 21-year-old from the village of Nowy Lubiel - lost his life." The stabbing happened on May 28, leaving the guard critically injured. Video of the immediate aftermath showed migrants trying to kill another soldier who was attempting to administer aid to Mateusz.

https://tnc.news/2024/07/14/ontario-physicians-demand-urgent-support/

The Ontario College of Family Physicians is requesting immediate support from the provincial government to combat the province’s escalating family doctor crisis.

The not-for-profit representing over 18,000 family physicians released new data showing that the number of Ontarians without a family doctor has surpassed 2.5 million, rising from 1.8 million in 2020. The latest data available represents statistics as of Sept. 2023.

The Ontario College of Family Physicians said that over 160,000 Ontarians were added to the list without a family doctor in a six-month period.

We need to address the pressing issues facing family doctors today.”

While many Ontarians have family doctors, too many have access restricted due to distance. Continue…
