INVASION OF THE DRONES: Breaking: The Truth Behind the Mystery Drones Over New Jersey—A Government Operation and a PSYOP

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/12/invasion-drones-breaking-truth-behind-mystery-drones-new/

It begins at night—always at night. Residents across New Jersey have been witnessing something straight out of science fiction: vehicle-sized drones flying low over neighborhoods, their navigational lights flashing like signals in the darkness. At first, people thought they were planes, maybe helicopters. But these machines don’t behave like either. They hover, stop mid-flight, and dart sideways with precision before rocketing into the sky at unimaginable speeds.

“It’s kind of unsettling,” said Mike Walsh, a Randolph resident who has seen the drones numerous times. “Some are very big, probably the size of a car.” (Source: Yahoo News)

From Middletown to Lakewood, witnesses describe the same chilling scenes: drones performing gravity-defying maneuvers over suburban rooftops. Another local, identified as Read, described the drones’ nocturnal patterns: “One is stationary, the others are in and out of the tree line. It’s strange. They’re out there for hours, never during the day.”

Adding to the mystery, U.S. Representative Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ made a provocative claim during a recent interview: “These drones are Iranian. They’re coming from a mothership positioned off our coast, and they’re being deployed in clusters.”

The statement triggered an immediate response from Sabrina Singh, the Pentagon’s deputy press secretary. Singh unequivocally denied the allegation, stating: “These drones are not Iranian, nor is there any mothership positioned off the U.S. coast. These are not foreign assets.” Continue…

Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio Shuts Down Airspace After Mysterious Drone Incursions (AUDIO)

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/12/wright-patterson-air-force-base-ohio-shuts-down/

Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, one of America’s most vital military installations, faced an unsettling breach of its airspace over the weekend, reigniting concerns about the security of critical U.S. defense facilities.

Mysterious drones buzzed over the Ohio base, forcing the temporary closure of its Class Delta airspace late Friday night and into Saturday morning, The War Zone first reported.

The base, home to the Air Force Research Lab, Air Force Material Command, and the National Air and Space Intelligence Center, is a cornerstone of U.S. military operations. Its cutting-edge research and intelligence missions make it a prime target for espionage or malicious activity.

On the night of December 13-14, 2024, Wright-Patterson AFB experienced significant Unidentified Aerial System (UAS) activity, requiring the closure of Class Delta airspace.

Air traffic control issued warnings and instructions to aircraft, including a medical flight (Med Flight 8), to exercise extreme caution and maintain higher altitudes to avoid the drones.

Yet, according to base spokesman Bob Purtiman, the origin of the drones remains unidentified, and their intentions are officially deemed “not malicious.” Continue…

‘AI Will Be Controlled by Government’ — Billionaire Marc Andreessen Exposes Biden’s ‘Horrifying’ Authoritarian AI Agenda That Pushed Him to Endorse Donald Trump

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/12/billionaire-marc-andreessen-exposes-bidens-horrifying-authoritarian-ai/

Tech billionaire and venture capitalist Marc Andreessen described a “horrifying” meeting with the Biden Administration that cemented his decision to endorse Donald Trump for president.

Marc Andreessen, co-founder of Andreessen Horowitz and a towering figure in Silicon Valley, has previously thrown his support behind Donald Trump for the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election.

This marks a seismic shift in Andreessen’s political alignment, as the billionaire venture capitalist has long been an outspoken Democrat, endorsing Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton in prior elections.

Andreessen’s endorsement of Trump is primarily driven by his belief that Trump’s policies are more favorable for the technology sector, especially for startups.

This stands in contrast to the Biden administration’s approach, which Andreessen and his business partner, Ben Horowitz, view as overly regulatory and potentially harmful to technological innovation.

During his interview with The Free Press, Andreessen recounted his interactions with Biden administration officials, who explicitly discouraged entrepreneurs and venture capitalists from pursuing AI startups.

Andreessen painted a dystopian picture of the Biden administration’s vision for AI, revealing a strategy to consolidate AI development into the hands of a few government-aligned corporations while shutting out startups and entrepreneurs.

According to Andreessen, officials went as far as to suggest reviving Cold War-era tactics to suppress knowledge and innovation by classifying AI’s foundational mathematics.

For Andreessen, the Biden administration’s AI agenda was a wake-up call. Once a staunch Democrat, Andreessen now sees Donald Trump as the only candidate capable of fostering an environment where innovation can thrive. Continue…

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Releases Report Confirming Radioactive Material Lost in Transit — Shipping Container Arrives Damaged and Empty in New Jersey

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/12/u-s-nuclear-regulatory-commission-releases-report-confirming/

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has confirmed that radioactive material was lost in transit earlier this month, heightening fears about public safety and sparking theories about mysterious drone activity in New Jersey.

Officer Lew, a prominent political commentator, highlighted the NRC’s event report during a review of regulatory alerts.

“While looking at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission Alerts. I can confirm that there is radioactive material that has gone missing on Dec 2nd, 2024 out of New Jersey. This might be the reason for the drones… just speculation at this point,” he wrote.

The missing material, identified as a Ge-68 pin source manufactured by Eckert & Ziegler, was reported lost by its licensee on December 3, 2024. Shipped for disposal, the container arrived at its destination severely damaged and empty.

According to the NRC’s report, the radioactive source, while classified as “Less than IAEA Category 3,” still poses potential risks if mishandled or exposed for prolonged periods.

According to the report: Continue…

China’s Dark Secret: The Ongoing Tragedy of Forced Organ Harvesting

https://gatewayhispanic.com/2024/12/chinas-dark-secret-the-ongoing-tragedy-of-forced-organ-harvesting/

At the heart of one of the most pressing ethical debates of the 21st century lies the issue of forced organ harvesting in China.

This practice, widely condemned internationally, has been linked to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) regime and is seen as a blatant abuse of human rights.

In particular, ethnic and religious minorities, as well as prisoners of conscience—such as practitioners of Falun Gong and Uyghurs—have been identified as the primary victims of this horrific crime.

A Systematic and Brutal Practice

Since 2006, independent investigations have uncovered that China has carried out thousands of organ transplants under suspicious circumstances.

Canadian lawyers David Matas and the late David Kilgour discovered that, between 2000 and 2005, China performed over 41,500 transplants without an organized organ donation system in place.

This raises disturbing questions, especially considering that Chinese culture traditionally does not encourage voluntary organ donation.

The China Tribunal, an independent tribunal based in London, concluded in 2019 that forced organ harvesting in China has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt . The court found evidence that prisoners of conscience, particularly Falun Gong practitioners, have been killed for their organs. Continue…

EFF Leader Julius Malema Calls for Extermination of Whites in South Africa – “Our Revolution Will Require Us to Kill”

South Africa’s EFF leader Julius Malena was again calling for genocide against white South Africans at a rally this weekend.

Julius Malena told supporters, “We must be able to explain to our people what black consciousness is and why it cannot coexist with the idea that white people are inherently superior, and one of the two must die.”

The Paris Accords As “Climate Insurance”—Unaffordable and Unnecessary

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/12/paris-accords-as-climate-insurance-unaffordable-unnecessary/

The climate change debate continues to rage. Though the science remains “unsettled,” what does seem settled is that President Trump will withdraw, again, from the now infamous Paris Climate Accords. Importantly, those accords are centered on pledges made to modify national energy policies.

A decision to exit the Paris Accords is no mere gesture. The central fact for citizens everywhere is that putative “climate solutions” would deploy trillions of dollars and implement mandates and diktats for the supply and use of energy in every aspect of society.

The stated rationale for proposals to alter completely how civilization is fueled is the need for an “insurance policy” against future climate catastrophes. In that framing, the climate-fearful argue that some possibility of consequential future harms warrants the “responsible” decision to “buy” insurance now. But this often-argued “insurance” construct assumes that we know enough to say that the consequences of future climate change justify paying for the insurance—and collaterally, that we know the “insurance” itself will be affordable.

It turns out that we do know quite a bit about both those domains. As we outline below, reality tells us that the climate-change consequences that we’re trying to avoid will be modest—and that the costs of the “insurance” are staggering. Continue…

FBI Releases Wanted Poster for 14 North Korean IT Workers Targeting US Companies

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/12/fbi-releases-wanted-poster-14-north-korean-workers/

The FBI released a wanted poster Thursday after 14 North Koreans were indicted for fraud and theft against U.S. companies and nonprofits, according to an FBI news release.

The bounty? $5 million.

It’s a small sum compared to the $88 million the alleged criminals stole during their six-year conspiracy.

The 14 conspirators were nationals of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea posing as American information technology workers.

They worked for the DPRK-controlled companies Yanbian Silverstar and Volasys Silverstar, which are located in China and Russia, respectively. Continue…

GREAT REPLACEMENT: Nigerian Member of UK Parliament and Conservative Party Leader Kemi Badenoch Warns Against Mass Immigration Replacing Native Culture: “If You Don’t Defend Your Culture, It Will Disappear” (VIDEO)

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/12/great-replacement-nigerian-member-uk-parliament-conservative-party/

Kemi Badenoch, a Member of the UK Parliament and leader of the UK Conservative Party, warned that mass immigration could lead to the replacement of the United Kingdom’s national identity with that of a Third World country during a recent interview on Bari Weis’s “Honesty” podcast.

Host Bari Weiss, the founder and editor of The Free Press, is a former New York Times writer who left the Times and publicly came out against the woke leftwing narrative being pushed by the paper.

Badenoch, who was raised in Nigeria, is the first black woman to lead the UK’s Conservative Party. During the discussion on immigration, she sounded the alarm on the replacement of national identity, noting that “It’s not about bringing the culture from the other place and turning the UK into the place you’ve just come from.” She continued, “If I wanted to be in Nigeria, I would have moved back to Nigeria. I don’t want to recreate Nigeria in the UK.”

This is exactly what the American left is trying to do to the United States. As The Gateway Pundit reported, it was even revealed earlier this year by a Biden State Department official that the ‘Great Replacement Theory’ is not a theory as the Biden regime is knowingly allowing criminals into the United States to change the country’s demographics.

Without using the phrase, Badenoch highlights the ‘Great Replacement’ by dismissing the idea that American and British cultures are just a melting pot of different cultures, calling it “nonsense.” She further highlights the need for developed countries like the US and UK to defend their culture and demographic makeup. “I think that means getting more migration from places that are more like-minded,” she says.

Reform UK’s Billionaire Finance Chief Nick Candy To Meet Elon Musk – World’s Richest Man Could Donate $100 Million To Fuel Farage’s Populist Revolution

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/12/reform-uks-billionaire-finance-chief-nick-candy-meet/

The United Kingdom bucked the continental trend of many European populations choosing increasingly conservative leaders and parties.

The British people saw fit to give the detestable Labour party a massive victory, after the disappointing Conservative Party remained in power for 14 years, from 2010 to 2024, with five Prime Ministers: David Cameron, Theresa May, Boris Johnson, Liz Truss, and Rishi Sunak.

But now there’s a new Sheriff in London Town – the surging Nigel Farage and his Reform UK, that is gearing up to be a real contender in the next general elections.

It now arises that Reform UK’s finance chief Nick Candy is reportedly expected to meet American tech multi-billionaire and Free Speech advocate Elon Musk, the next Director of the Department of Government Efficiency.

This comes amid growing rumors that the world’s richest man could donate as much $100 million to the populist Brits.

OMG Investigates FEMA Part 4: O’Keefe Sneaks Past Multi-Million Dollar Security at FEMA Headquarters (VIDEO)

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/12/omg-investigates-fema-part-4-okeefe-sneaks-past/

O’Keefe Media Group on Saturday released FEMA Part 4: James O’Keefe snuck into emergency FEMA locations and exposed an empty disaster recovery center.

Two months after Hurricane Milton ripped through Florida and the Carolinas and still so many Americans are without aid or proper shelter.

“They didn’t even look at my ID. I just wore a blazer, and it worked,” James O’Keefe said about the lack of security at FEMA’s temporary headquarters in Hickory, North Carolina.

An OMG journalist asked FEMA’s external affairs director Patricia Lea Crager, “Why aren’t these people out in the field helping? Instead of being in offices, I thought they were out in the community helping.”

Crager responded, “We’re not playing games. I’m not doing an interview,” and declined to answer any questions about FEMA’s disaster relief efforts. Continue…

Judicial Watch FOIA Bombshell: How the Biden State Dept. Let YouTuber Gonzalo Lira Die in Ukrainian Prison

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/12/judicial-watch-foia-bombshell-how-biden-state-dept/

On Jan. 11, 2024 conservative US YouTuber Gonzalo Lira died in a Ukrainian prison, where he was held for the crime of criticizing the war, and the US and Ukrainian governments. Now, a FOIA request by Judicial Watch sheds stark light on the Biden Regime’s complete failure to stand up for a US political prisoner in a Ukrainian prison. The e-mails reveal the US Embassy was aware of threats to Gonzalo Lira’s life, which it considered “no rush.”

After Gonzalo Lira’s death, the Embassy was mostly concerned with spin control and how to “beef up press guidance” to address the question of “why didn’t the U.S. government do more to assist Mr. Lira?” Continue…

The Messy Syrian Conflict: Too Many Actors and Complex Alignments

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/12/messy-syrian-conflict-too-many-actors-complex-alignments/

The United States must carefully consider its actions before stepping into the Syrian quagmire, a potentially unwinnable conflict involving multiple actors and deeply conflicting interests.

Syria’s civil war, which began in 2011, has evolved into one of the most complex and devastating conflicts in modern history.

Far from being a straightforward struggle between regime forces and rebels, it has become a tangled web of overlapping allegiances, ethnic and religious tensions, and geopolitical rivalries.

The war has turned Syria into a battlefield for local, regional, and international actors, each pursuing conflicting interests. Continue…

‘They’re Trying to Smell Something on the Ground” — CEO of Government-Backed Drone Company Drops Shocking Insight on New Jersey Crisis Which Leaves Joe Rogan Alarmed

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/12/theyre-trying-smell-something-ground-ceo-government-backed/

In a shocking revelation that has left social media ablaze and even caught the attention of podcast king Joe Rogan, John Ferguson, the CEO of Saxon Aerospace LLC, has delivered a bombshell theory on a series of mysterious drone sightings.

Ferguson, an expert in the field of unmanned aerial systems (UAS), believes these drones are not operating with nefarious intent but are likely searching for something critical on the ground.

Disgraced Prince Andrew Invited Chinese Spy to Buckingham Palace and Other Royal Residences – Speculations Arise Parliament May Remove His Royal Title as Duke of York

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/12/disgraced-prince-andrew-invited-chinese-spy-buckingham-palace/

Just when King Charles was trying to make peace and end the rift with his younger brother, disgraced Prince Andrew, yet another scandal blows up in the Royal Family’s face.

Buckingham Palace is reportedly investigating visits made by an alleged Chinese spy to royal residences – at the invitation of the Duke of York.

The Chinese businessman, identified by the British Justice only as H6, was invited to events at Buckingham palace, St James’s Palace and Windsor Castle.

All the facts surrounding the espionage scandal came to light after a court heard that the Chinese individual, who was described as a ‘close confidant’ to Andrew, is banned from the UK on national security grounds.

Canadian FinMin Freeland Quits, Warns Trudeau That Trump Tariffs Are "Grave Challenge"

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/canadian-finmin-freeland-quits-warns-trudeau-trump-tariffs-are-grave-challenge

In a stunning move that shakes the government, Canadian Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland has resigned from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s cabinet after he tried to move her to a different role.

Freeland has been the most powerful person in Trudeau’s cabinet for years, and was the point person in strategizing how to counter US President-elect Donald Trump’s threat to impose 25% tariffs.

Trudeau has now seen the departure of two finance ministers in a little more than four years.

Freeland got the job in 2020 after the prime minister had a falling out with then-Finance Minister Bill Morneau over issues such as spending on Covid-related income support programs.

Freeland released her statement in a post on X, pulling no punches (emphasis ours):

Dear Prime Minister,

It has been the honour of my life to serve in government, working for Canada and Canadians. We have accomplished a lot together.

On Friday, you told me you no longer want me to serve as your Finance Minister and offered me another position in the Cabinet.

Upon reflection, I have concluded that the only honest and viable path is for me to resign from the Cabinet.

To be effective, a Minister must speak on behalf of the Prime Minister and with his full confidence. In making your decision, you made clear that I no longer credibly enjoy that confidence and possess the authority that comes with it.

For the past number of weeks, you and I have found ourselves at odds about the best path forward for Canada.

Our country today faces a grave challenge. The incoming administration in the United States is pursuing a policy of aggressive economic nationalism, including a threat of 25 per cent tariffs.

We need to take that threat extremely seriously. That means keeping our fiscal powder dry today, so we have the reserves we may need for a coming tariff war. That means eschewing costly political gimmicks, which we can ill afford and which make Canadians doubt that we recognize the gravity of the moment.

That means pushing back against ‘America First’ economic nationalism with a determined effort to fight for capital and investment and the jobs they bring. That means working in good faith and humility with the Premiers of the provinces and territories of our great and diverse country, and building a true Team Canada response.

I know Canadians would recognize and respect such an approach. They know when we are working for them, and they equally know when we are focused on ourselves.

Inevitably, our time in government will come to an end. But how we deal with the threat our country currently faces will define us for a generation, and perhaps longer. Canada will win if we are strong, smart, and united.

It is this conviction which has driven my strenuous efforts this fall to manage our spending in ways that will give us the flexibility we will need to meet the serious challenges presented by the United States.

I will always be grateful for the chance to have served in government and I will always be proud of our government’s work for Canada and Canadians.

I look forward to continuing to work with my colleagues as a Liberal Member of Parliament, and I am committed to running again for my seat in Toronto in the next federal election.

Meanwhile, the Loonie has hit its weakest against the dollar since the COVID lockdown lows. Continue…

Chrystia Freeland calls out “costly political gimmicks” as she resigns from cabinet

https://tnc.news/2024/12/16/freeland-resigns1/

Finance Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland has announced her resignation from Justin Trudeau’s cabinet, taking aim at “costly political gimmicks” on the eve of the government’s fall economic update.

In a letter to Trudeau posted on social media Monday morning, Freeland said rather than be shuffled to another cabinet position she will be resigning, claiming she and Trudeau have been “at odds about the best path forward for Canada.”

Freeland said she will be staying in caucus as a member of Parliament and seeking re-election.

Freeland, who’s served as finance minister since 2020, noted that in the face of Donald Trump’s proposed 25% tariffs, Trudeau’s government must focus on “eschewing costly political gimmicks” which Canadians “can ill afford.”

This comes after news that Freeland was cancelling Trudeau’s announced $250 cheque distribution scheme.

In the letter, Freeland said the move to hand out the costly rebates could “make Canadians doubt that we recognize the gravity of the moment.”

The Working Canadians Rebate would cost taxpayers $4.675 billion.

Freeland said Canada needs to push back against “America First” economic nationalism to fight for Canada’s economy.

“I know Canadians would recognize and respect such an approach. They know when we are working for them, and they equally know when we are focused on ourselves,” Freeland wrote in the letter. “Inevitably, our time in government will come to an end. But how we deal with the threat our country currently faces will define us for a generation, and perhaps longer.”

According to CBC journalist Ashley Burke, when Freeland was asked if she would deliver the fall economic statement, she said “what happens with the FES is a question for the PM’s office.”

Trudeau’s housing minister, Sean Fraser, told reporters Monday morning that he will not seek re-election in the next federal election and will also be leaving cabinet. Fraser cited “family reasons.”

There have been several reports that Trudeau is actively courting former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney to join his cabinet.

In a surprise announcement, Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland announced her resignation from Justin Trudeau’s cabinet, taking aim at “costly political gimmicks” on the eve of the government’s fall economic update.

This comes as former Immigration and Housing Minister Sean Fraser also announced his resignation.

How will Trudeau survive this? Is it just a matter of time before Canadians finally get an election?

Canada Post employees ordered back to work as negotiations reach impasse

https://tnc.news/2024/12/16/canada-post-employees-ordered-back-to-work/

Canada Post employees will be returning to work Tuesday after the federal labour relations board ordered and end to the month-long strike.

The Canada Industrial Relations Board ordered Canada Post employees back to work after determining that negotiations between the Crown corporation and the federal government had reached an “impasse.”

“After two days of hearings, the CIRB has issued its ruling confirming the parties are at an impasse,” wrote the Crown corporation in a statement released Sunday.

“As a result, the CIRB has ordered employees to return to work and postal operations to begin to resume at 8 am local time on December 17, 2024.”

Labour Minister Steven MacKinnon requested the CIRB implement the order, which included an extension of the current collective agreements.

“Postal services will resume on Tuesday. The Canada Industrial Relations Board has found that Canada Post and CUPW are unlikely to reach a deal by the end of the year. The Board has therefore ordered an extension of the current collective agreements, and a resumption of operations,” said MacKinnon in a post to X.

“An Industrial Inquiry Commission will also be looking into the structural issues of the conflict and will issue a report on May 15. This report will serve as a solid basis for both parties to negotiate their collective agreements.” Continue…

Trudeau may recruit globalist shill Carney for cabinet: report

https://www.rebelnews.com/trudeau_may_recruit_globalist_shill_carney_for_cabinet

Media reports have long suspected the prime minister recruited 'Carbon Tax Carney' to replace Chrystia Freeland, the outgoing finance minister.

Tensions between Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his outgoing finance minister escalated as rumors spread that the promised tax relief may no longer be happening.

Government sources told the National Post that a $250 rebate, for 18.7 million working Canadians, will be excluded from Monday’s fiscal update, which may face even further delay.

MP Chrystia Freeland, who held the finance portfolio for several years, dodged questions on the alleged tensions with Trudeau no more. Continue…

Manitoba’s leftist government considers election law amendment to ban ‘disinformation’

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/manitobas-leftist-government-considers-election-law-amendment-to-ban-disinformation/

The provincial government of Manitoba is proposing amendments to its Elections Act to tackle ‘disinformation’ in an apparent attempt to protect ‘election workers’ and ‘the structure of the system,’ raising censorship concerns.

Canada’s Manitoba provincial government is looking into changing its election law to include combating various forms of “disinformation,” Canadian media is reporting.

The government, led by the social-democratic New Democratic Party (NDP) of Manitoba, wants to amend the Elections Act so that it prohibits what might come to be officially considered “disinformation” affecting electoral workers and the system.

While addressing the initiative, provincial Justice Minister Matt Wiebe made sure to mention some “staples” often invoked by “disinformation warriors”: AI, and in particular, deepfakes.

Recent years have shown how in many parts of the world, spurred either by governments or global, and globalist organizations, even information they simply dislike gets treated as disinformation – and slated for censorship.

This push is waning in some corners, but in countries like Canada, it doesn’t seem to be losing momentum.

And now Wiebe is suddenly discovering what “unreal” things deepfakes – a technology present for many years, particularly in the entertainment industry – can achieve.

Of course, Wiebe is concerned about politics and elections, and justifies the focus – all the way to changing the law – on such tech as making it easier to “fake some things.”

This was probably important to underline because Manitoba’s election rules already deal with false information, impersonation, and other acts that can endanger the integrity of an election, and even include fines (up to $10,000) and, jail time. Continue…

Conservative MPs blast proposal to monitor Canadian media with ‘disinformation’ code

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/conservative-mps-blast-proposal-to-monitor-canadian-media-with-disinformation-code/

A recent House of Commons Ethics Committee report called for a media ‘disinformation’ code and proposed that social media platforms be required to give Canadian researchers ‘access to their data,’ prompting backlash from Conservative MPs.

The suggestion in a recent House of Commons report that Canada adopt a media code of conduct related to “disinformation” is the exact type of thing that would only further censor free speech that does not fit the government’s narrative, a Conservative MP has warned.

A House of Commons Ethics Committee report titled “Oversight Of Social Media Platforms: Ensuring Privacy And Safety Online” proposed that a media code of practice be introduced in the nation, with Liberal MP Iqra Khalid claiming that so-called “disinformation” is among the “biggest issues of our time.”

“I think this is one of the biggest issues of our time and one we really need to focus on,” she told reporters recently; however, she did not give any details on what this would look like.

As noted by Blacklock’s Reporter, Conservative MP Michelle Rempel Garner said moves to monitor the news in a partisan light are dangerous.

“If we get into a situation where we are censoring speech, particularly where we are saying the government’s position is the positive position that needs to be uploaded and that criticism of the government is downloaded in a legitimate situation, we are doing democracy a disservice,” she said at a House affairs committee meeting back in May.

Pro-life leaders slam Trudeau’s attempted expansion of euthanasia: ‘A gamble they may lose’

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/pro-life-leaders-slam-trudeaus-attempted-expansion-of-euthanasia-a-gamble-they-may-lose/

The Trudeau government is ‘scrambling’ to implement ‘advance requests’ for euthanasia and to expand assisted suicide for mentally ill people, Dr. Will Johnston said. ‘But I think they’ve finally made a gamble they may lose.’

Pro-life leaders are criticizing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s assisted suicide consultation process, warning that it’s aimed to expand Canada’s euthanasia regime.

In December, pro-life leaders, including British Columbia Member of Parliament (MP) Ed Fast and Dr. Will Johnston, head of the Euthanasia Resistance Coalition of B.C., stressed that the Health Canada consultation on so-called “medical assistance in dying” (MAID) is nothing more than an attempt to standardize “advance requests” for euthanasia.

“I think the Trudeau government are true believers in many radical ideas, and radical when it comes to suicide is one of them,” Johnston told the B.C. Catholic.

“They are scrambling to put advance requests and MAID for psychiatric patients into place, knowing it will be very hard to reverse,” he continued. “But I think they’ve finally made a gamble they may lose.”

Likewise, Fast warned that the so-called consultations aim to “inform” Canadians on the issue rather than listen to their opinions, adding that they will likely increase “confusion and abuse of Canada’s MAID regime.”

“The Trudeau government was likely very surprised when the (parliamentary) committee recommended that Canada was NOT ready for this expansion,” he revealed. Continue…

Following pressure from Nigel Farage’s Reform UK party, the name of the alleged Chinese spy connected to Prince Andrew has been revealed as Yang Tengbo.

After Farage’s Reform UK threatened to use parliamentary privilege to disclose the name of the alleged Chinese spy, a High Court lifted restrictions on Monday afternoon. Previously only identified as “H6”, the reported “close confidant” of the Duke of York can now be named as Yang Tengbo, also known as Chris Yang, the Guardian reports. Continue…

UK online censorship laws come into force

https://www.rt.com/business/609445-uk-online-safety-law/

Britain could soon fine social media giants up to 10% of their annual earnings for failing to remove illegal content

Britain’s newest online censorship law came into force on Monday, as the country’s telecoms regulator published a list of content that social media platforms must remove to avoid multi-million-pound fines.

Ofcom, the British government’s media and telecommunications watchdog, published a set of guidelines that platforms like Meta, Google, and TikTok must comply with by March or risk punishment under the Online Safety Act, which was passed in 2023.

The guidelines list a range of 130 illegal acts that these platforms must forbid and prevent, including incitement to terrorism, human trafficking, and the sharing of child sexual abuse material.

Also prohibited is the “stirring up of racial hatred” or “hatred on the basis of religion or sexual orientation,” which although ill-defined are already illegal under British law.

Some offenses are “complex,” Ofcom wrote. “They may be more about a series of interactions between users, or may involve behavior that takes place partly offline, or may involve thinking about the nature, identity or age of one or more of the users concerned.” Continue…

Russian oil tankers sinking in Black Sea (VIDEO)

The two ships had 29 crew members on board when calls for help were issued, the Russian Emergency Ministry has said

Two tankers carrying oil products are sinking in the Kerch Strait, the passage that connects the Black Sea to the Sea of Azov, according to the Russian Emergency Ministry.

The Volganeft 212 and the Volganeft 239 sent out distress signals and requested assistance amid high winds and powerful waves. The Russian water transport agency has said a total of 29 crew members were on board the two vessels.

According to Russian media reports, powerful waves struck the tankers several kilometers off the Black Sea coast. The Volganeft 212, carrying more than 4,000 tons of fuel oil, has run aground, and the Volgoneft 239 is drifting after sustaining damage.

Emergency rescue helicopters have flown response teams to the Kerch Strait area to assist the vessels. Their efforts, however, have been hindered by worsening weather.

A rescue boat has also been sent to the area. So far, 13 crew members from the damaged tankers have been brought to safety, and one fatality has been confirmed, the Emergency Ministry said.

Preliminary findings suggest that one of the ships broke in half after the storm caused it to run ground. An investigation has been launched, Russia’s Southern Transport Prosecutor’s Office said.

BREAKING: Jagmeet Singh calls on Trudeau to resign, falls short of committing to vote against Liberal government in non-confidence motion

https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-jagmeet-singh-calls-on-trudeau-resign-falls-short-of-committing-to-non-confidence-vote

NDP leader Jagmeet Singh called on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to resign Monday, but he refused to say whether he would vote with Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives in a non-confidence vote.

"Mr. Trudeau's government is over. He must acknowledge that and act accordingly," he told reporters.

Singh made the comments at a news conference in Ottawa, per the CBC. However, he would only say that “all options are on the table” as reporters asked him how he could demand Trudeau resign and yet not declare his intention to bring down the same government he says he opposes.

"We'll look at each vote and we'll make a decision, but now all options are on the table," he added in his comments.

Finance Minister Chyrstia Freeland shocked both Canadians and Parliamentarians Monday announcing her resignation from the Trudeau cabinet, where she was also the deputy prime minister. Freeland posted her resignation letter, which was extremely critical of Trudeau's leadership and economic policy, on X. She said the prime minister was fixated on economic "gimmicks" that endanger economic stability of the country. Speculation is mounting that Trudeau will either resign or prorogue Parliament.

Singh announced in September that he was "ripping up" a loose coalition agreement with Trudeau and the Liberals. But since then he has steadfastly refused to vote against the Trudeauf government in several non-confidence votes.

Minister Justin Trudeau to consider resigning or discontinuing current Parliament: report

https://thepostmillennial.com/breaking-canadian-prime-minister-justin-trudeau-to-consider-resigning-or-prorogueing-parliament

Conservative Party Leader Piere Poilievre has announced that he is considering bringing a vote of no confidence against the prime minister later on Monday.

After Justin Trudeau's Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland announced her resignation as finance minister on Monday, it has been reported that Trudeau may consider either resigning or proroguing Parliament. All MPs, it has been reported, are in their seats awaiting the prime minister.

CTV reported that "Sources tell CTV News Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is considering resigning or proroguing parliament and he may address parliament this afternoon."

Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre has announced that he is considering bringing a vote of no confidence against the prime minister later on Monday. Poilievre said that the Trudeau government needs to table its Fall Economic Statement and trigger a non-confidence vote in the House of Commons that could bring down the Liberal government.

Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland resigned from cabinet Monday, just hours before she was scheduled to deliver the statement that is expected to contain a federal deficit of at least $60 billion and not the $40 billion that Freeland has promised to deliver.

“Maybe the answer is just for them to table the FES [Fall Economic Statement] and let's vote up or down on the FES; it would be a confidence motion. I think the answer is to table the Fe

FES, the fall, economic update, and let the House of Commons vote up or down, and if the fall economic update is defeated, then it would be a non confidence vote, and we proceed to a carbon tax,” Poilievre said. Continue…

Trudeau to name Dominic LeBlanc as new finance minister

https://tnc.news/2024/12/16/trudeau-to-name-leblanc-finance-minister/

Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc will take over the finance portfolio following Chrystia Freeland’s surprise resignation from cabinet, True North has learned.

Multiple reports indicate LeBlanc is set to be sworn into the new role at Rideau Hall Monday afternoon at the same time the government tables its fall economic statement, which Freeland was slated to present prior to her announcement Monday morning.

LeBlanc has been the public safety minister since last summer, before which he served in several other roles in Justin Trudeau’s cabinet, including as minister of intergovernmental affairs and fisheries minister. He will be retaining the public safety portfolio.

Rumours have been circulating for several months that Trudeau has been courting former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney to join his government as finance minister, but these have not come to fruition.

In her resignation letter, Freeland said she would remain in the Liberal caucus and run for re-election when Canadians go to the polls next.

Government House Leader Karina Gould will table the fall economic statement, but without the typical fanfare and accompanying speech.

Freeland was one of Trudeau’s most loyal and trusted ministers, having first served as his foreign affairs minister after the government formed in 2015. Continue…

In case you haven't heard yet, the world has just changed irrevocably.

After 13 years of battle, the alphabet soup of foreign-financed, foreign-armed, foreign-trained terrorist insurgents in Syria have finally accomplished their goal: the overthrow of Assad.

There are many questions to ponder here. What happened? How did a years-long military stalemate turn into a government-toppling checkmate seemingly overnight? And what does this mean for the future of Syria? For the future of the Middle East? For the future of the world?

Let's find out. Continue…

“I believe that the Prime Minister remains very focused on the work that we have ahead of us. In my conversations with him today, we talked about the cost of living, public finances and the work that we have to carry out with the Trump administration, starting in January, and I believe that Canadians expect that we will remain focused on those issues,” said LeBlanc.
