Panamanian President José Raúl Mulino declared this Sunday, February 2, that he has offered the United States his country's territory as a bridge for deporting immigrants to other nations during his conversation with Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

 

At a press conference, the Panamanian leader revealed that he had offered the airport area of ​​Metetí, in the province of Darién, Panama, to facilitate the transfer of illegal immigrants from the United States to their destination countries. Continue…

USAID Website Back Online Just to Announce Global Employees Will be Placed on Leave and Ordered to Return to U.S.

 

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/02/usaid-website-back-online-just-announce-global-employee/

 

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has effectively been gutted, with its global employees placed on administrative leave and ordered to return to the U.S.

 

After going offline over the weekend as part of Trump’s goal to streamline federal operations and slash government spending, the official website of USAID is back online—but not for the reasons anyone expected.

 

The agency’s website now serves as a digital pink slip for its global workforce.

 

All USAID direct hire personnel are to be placed on administrative leave globally, with mandates for many to return to the U.S. This directive excludes only those deemed essential for “mission-critical functions.”

 

The website reads: Continue…

Mass Exodus on the Horizon: CIA Offers Buyouts to ITS ENTIRE WORKFORCE with Generous Eight-Months Pay & Benefits Package as Trump Moves to Downsize Federal Bureaucracy

 

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/02/mass-exodus-horizon-cia-offers-buyouts-entire-workforce/

 

This follows President Trump’s proposal to encourage millions of federal workers to resign by February 6 in exchange for pay and benefits lasting until September 30.

 

Trump is offering the buyouts to make sure all federal workers are “on board with the new administration’s plan to have federal employees in office,” CNBC reported.

 

Only 6% of all federal workers actually work full-time in the office!

 

Trump’s offer does not include postal workers, military, immigration officials or people in national security roles.

 

A senior administration official disclosed that over 20,000 federal workers have accepted Trump’s buyout, a figure representing about one percent of the federal workforce and falling short of the White House’s target of five to ten percent.

 

“We expect more to come,” the administration official explained. “If you see what’s happening at USAID, it’s just one piece of the puzzle.”

 

According to a report first released by the Wall Street Journal, the new CIA Director, John Ratcliffe, has spearheaded these changes, which include a generous eight-months pay and benefits package for any employee opting for resignation.

 

Ratcliffe’s directive also freezes hiring and reevaluates current job offers, potentially rescinding those who do not align with the agency’s renewed objectives.

 

This move is seen as a direct implementation of Trump’s strategy to downsize the federal bureaucracy and reorient its functions towards pressing national security priorities, such as dismantling drug cartels and undermining global adversaries like China.

 

Meanwhile, the Senate intelligence panel has advanced Tulsi Gabbard’s nomination as the next Director of National Intelligence, suggesting further changes at the helm of the U.S. intelligence community may be on the horizon.

Nayib Bukele confirms that the US is his main ally 9Video)

 

https://gatewayhispanic.com/video/nayib-bukele-confirms-that-the-u-s-is-his-main-ally/

 

"The United States is the most important relationship we have, and we want to strengthen it, said the President of El Salvador," Nayib Bukele, after his recent meeting with Marco Rubio.

 

Let us remember that he now has a key role in the US government, a Hispanic of Cuban descent who speaks Spanish. But let us also be aware, as in the main square of San Salvador, the Chinese flag is waving. And hence its influence. We recently saw how Panama said it was willing to improve its relations with the United States and pull back from China.

 

We see how much influence China has in Central America, and if this is going in that direction, so to speak, less China, more United States. Now even El Salvador and the United States have signed a nuclear energy cooperation agreement for civilians.

BREAKING: Senate Votes 54-46 to Confirm Pam Bondi as US Attorney General

UPDATE: The Senate voted 54-46 to confirm Pam Bondi as US Attorney General.

 

Democrat Senator John Fetterman went rogue and voted “YEA” to confirm Pam Bondi.

 

Original report: The Senate will vote to confirm Pam Bondi as the next US Attorney General at 7 p.m. ET on Tuesday.

 

The Senate voted 52-46 to invoke cloture on Monday evening, which allowed for up to 30 hours of debate.

 

The Democrats gave back their time so the full Senate was able to vote Tuesday evening to confirm Pam Bondi.

 

Pam Bondi, Florida’s former Attorney General, vowed to keep politics out of the DOJ if confirmed during as she sat before the Senate Judiciary Committee last month.

 

“Politics has to be taken out of this system,” Pam Bondi told Senators. “This department has been weaponized for years and years and years, and it has to stop.”

 

Democrats tried to stall at the last minute but it didn’t work.

 

Some Democrats were on the floor calling Pam Bondi names ahead of the vote, according to Senator Markwayne Mullin. Continue…

HERE WE GO: Musk’s DOGE Workers Spotted at FBI Headquarters

 

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/02/here-we-go-musks-doge-workers-spotted-fbi/

 

Elon Musk’s DOGE workers were spotted at the FBI headquarters in DC on Tuesday.

 

“Meanwhile, officials dispatched by Elon Musk have been seen at FBI headquarters. Musk has headed up efforts by President Donald Trump’s newly formed Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE.” – CNN reported.

 

It is unclear what the DOGE officials were doing at the FBI headquarters, however, Acting US Attorney for DC, Ed Martin on Monday announced his office would be charging and arresting individuals who threatened DOGE workers.

 

Ed Martin did not name any names as he announced that arrests and charges were coming. It is unclear which laws were violated.

 

“Our initial review of the evidence presented to us indicates that certain individuals and/or groups have committed acts that appear to violate the law in targeting DOGE employees,” Ed Martin said.

 

Ed Martin said the FBI is involved after reviewing the threats against the DOGE workers.

 

“We are in contact with the FBI and other law-enforcement partners to proceed rapidly. We also have our prosecutors preparing,” Ed Martin added.

 

Tech reporters at Wired outed a list of DOGE workers who gained access to the US Treasury payment system over the weekend.

 

Reporters at Wired tweeted out a list of DOGE workers. Soon after the DOGE workers were publicly named, others began doxxing and threatening them.

 

Elon Musk warned the reporters that they had committed a crime.

 

The X account that doxxed the DOGE workers has since been suspended.

Politico, NY Times Propped Up By Millions Of Dollars From US Government

On Tuesday, staffers at Politico were notified that a 'technical error' had prevented paychecks from going out. Many joked that this had something to do with the Trump administration putting a freeze on USAID funding.

 

Staff at Politico did not get paid for the latest pay period. The company just sent several emails to employees saying it believes there was a technical error, and is looking into how to fix the issue. pic.twitter.com/PYcWYdbrEC

And while there's no evidence the two are linked, the suggestion prompted internet sleuths to look into Politico's sources of funding. What they found was absolutely shocking.

 

According to government spending tracker website USASPENDING.gov, Politico - which laundered the Hunter Biden '51 intel officials' propaganda during the 2020 election - received up to $27 million (and by some counts $32 million) from various US agencies during the Biden years. Continue…

Level Of Democrat Panic Over Musk Freezing USAID "Unlike Anything Ever Seen"

 

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/level-democrat-panic-over-musk-freezing-usaid-unlike-anything-ever-seen

 

A Democratic Party insider says that the level of panic over President Trump and Elon Musk’s DOGE freezing all USAID spending is “unlike anything he’s ever seen.”

 

The source described the development as “a killing blow to the heart” of the deep state.

 

Talked to a friend who has connections within the Democratic Party and he said the level of panic over Trump and Elon shutting down USAID is unlike anything he’s ever seen.

 

By following the money DOGE has struck a killing blow to the heart of the Democrat deep state machine.

The insider says that so reliant on USAID funded schemes were Democrats in order to ram through their agenda, that this is the equivalent of 9/11 scale attack on them.

 

Direct quote: “This is worse than 9/11 for Democrats. USAID is the primary vessel they use to achieve their political agenda. USAID is and always has been the primary source of funding for their influence peddling schemes and for their indirect sources of income”

USAID Panic Mode: Bill Gates Goes On MSM, Bashes Musk's DOGE, Fear-Mongers About Next Pandemic

 

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/usaid-panic-mode-bill-gates-goes-msm-bashes-musks-doge-fear-mongers-about-next-pandemic

 

Globalist billionaire Bill Gates made the rounds on far-left corporate media outlets on Tuesday morning, criticizing Elon Musk's DOGE to fold USAID into the State Department—a move that would place Secretary of State Marco Rubio as the agency's Acting Administrator. Gates has panicked, and making the rounds on MSM shows just that because he knows that USAID's funding days for his nonprofit empire might be numbered, as Rubio will apply maximum oversight into grant distributions.

 

Gates appeared on NBC's Today Show, telling the host that Musk "doesn't appreciate the phenomenal work at USAID." He continued, "It's not partisan work."

 

However, according to a DailyWire report, 97% of the political contributions from USAID workers went to the Democratic Party. That's a good one, Bill. Continue…

UFO-believing congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna's cryptic message has everyone saying the same thing

 

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-14359897/ufo-congresswoman-anna-paulina-luna-cryptic-message.html

 

A Florida congresswoman who believes some UFOs are of non-human origin has teased a major announcement in the coming days.

 

Rep Anna Paulina Luna (R) - who was privy to classified UAP files - posted she has 'an announcement next week that will impact the entire nation.'

 

Americans filled the comments with a single idea that 'UAP disclosure is finally coming.' UAP, or Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena, has replaced UFO to reduce stigma and encourage scientific study.

 

Florida Congressman Jared Moskowitz (D) also commented on the post with a simple. 'I know.'

 

DailyMail.com asked Moskowitz if Luna's statement was about UAP disclosure, to which the representative said he did not 'want to get ahead of her.'

 

While Luna has not provided further details about what is to come, she and Moskowitz were part of a secret UFO briefing last month to investigate claims from a high-profile whistleblower.

 

Reports suggested that members of Congress were left with little clarity about what the government knows about extraterrestrial life.

 

However, Luna, Moskowitz and the other lawmakers were banned by law for relaying what they heard during the closed-door briefing. Continue…

RCMP says fentanyl labs expanding across BC

 

https://tnc.news/2025/02/05/rcmp-fentanyl-labs-expanding-bc/

 

Fentanyl “super labs” are popping up across British Columbia as organized crime groups seek to take advantage of the opioid crisis, warns the RCMP.

 

Historically Canada has been overlooked when it comes to the production and trafficking of fentanyl but with U.S. President Donald Trump’s demand for the Canadian government to clamp down on the deadly drug, the issue is receiving more attention.

 

Although China and Mexico remain the primary sources of fentanyl and the synthetic opioid’s precursors, criminal organizations in Canada are shifting towards producing the drug domestically and even exporting the substance.

 

RCMP Cpl. Arash Seyed called attention to the issue at a recent press conference.

 

“We have the world’s most sophisticated drug super labs,” said Seyed.

 

“They’re expanding. They’re increasing in size and sophistication. And that’s something that obviously concerning for our neighbours.”

 

In recent months, U.S. President Donald Trump has been threatening Canada with severe tariffs, justifying the trade policy by pointing to fentanyl inflows to the United States coming from Canada. Continue…

Edmonton bans knife sales in convenience stores to enhance public safety

 

https://tnc.news/2025/02/05/edmonton-bans-knife-sales-convenience-stores/

 

As knife-related crimes have increased in Edmonton while other weapon-related offences have declined, the city has passed a bylaw prohibiting the sale of knives in convenience stores, an idea previously floated in the spring.

 

Edmonton City Council announced on Tuesday that it had passed a bylaw prohibiting the sale of knives in convenience stores to bolster community safety and respond to the concerns of local business owners.

 

The bylaw establishes a new distinction for convenience stores and a category and definition of knives that cannot be sold there. A knife is defined as any item with a blade affixed to a handle.

 

“The creation of a separate category for convenience stores will help limit convenient or impulsive access to knives,” reads the report.

 

The City of Edmonton’s website has a lengthy definition of convenience stores, where they are defined as businesses generally 350 square metres or less that sell a limited selection of fast-moving consumer goods.

 

The city confirmed that the everyday purchase of cutlery will remain unaffected. Continue…

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is promising to ratchet up penalties for criminals trafficking fentanyl if his party forms government.

 

Poilievre pledged to introduce mandatory minimum sentences for fentanyl dealers, including a life sentence for those producing or exporting over 40 milligrams of the opioid. Those caught with 20 to 40 milligrams would be slapped with a 15 year mandatory minimum sentence.

 

“Let’s call mass fentanyl trafficking what it is – mass murder,” said Poilievre.

 

“Selling 40 milligrams of this poison is enough to kill 20 people. It’s like spraying bullets into a crowd; you might not know who you are killing, but statistically, it’s certain that someone will die. Continue…

Trudeau announces economic summit in Toronto to boost economy, domestic trade

 

https://tnc.news/2025/02/05/trudeau-economic-summit-tor-domestic-trade/

 

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced plans to host an economic summit in Toronto attended by members of the Council on Canada-U.S. Relations to “galvanize business and investment” across the country.

 

“The Canada-U.S. Economic Summit is Team Canada at its best,” wrote Trudeau in a statement released Wednesday. “We are bringing together partners across business, civil society, and organized labour to find ways to galvanize our economy, create more jobs and bigger paycheques, make it easier to build and trade within our borders, and diversify export markets.”

 

The Toronto summit takes place on Friday, hosting members of the council along with trade leaders, business executives and public policy experts to offer “their sectoral expertise” on how to expand Canada’s economy.

 

“We want businesses, investors, and workers to choose Canada,” said Trudeau.

 

Additionally, the summit will seek to find easier means to create “trade within the country, diversify export markets, and rejuvenate productivity.”

 

Over $530 billion worth of goods and services moved across provincial and territorial borders last year, accounting for almost 20 per cent of Canada’s gross domestic product. Continue…

Wilkinson makes pitch for Canada-U.S. “energy alliance” amid tariff reprieve

 

https://tnc.news/2025/02/05/wilkinson-canada-us-energy-alliance-reprieve/

 

Energy and Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson travelled to Washington this week to pitch a “U.S.-Canada alliance on energy and minerals” to Republicans “rather than go down a path that will inevitably be lose-lose.”

 

“As a sovereign democratic nation that must protect its own national interests, the unwarranted imposition of tariffs on Canada would necessarily necessitate a response,” said Wilkinson during his keynote address at an event organized by the Atlantic Council in Washington on Tuesday.

 

“But this kind of damage to our economies is truly unnecessary and it is ultimately the people of our respective countries who will pay the costs.”

 

Wilkinson suggested in place of punitive cross-border tariffs, Canada and the U.S. could form an “energy alliance” that would allow both countries to “achieve our shared vision of affordable energy bills for families, strong and secure economies and North America as the world’s dominant energy supplier.”

 

“That is why our focus is to move beyond this conversation to one about collaboration on the border, on the scourge of illegal drugs, on our economy and certainly on energy and critical minerals,” he said.

 

While billions of dollars of trade between the two nations is conducted daily, the energy sector is clearly the most dominant area of these dealings, with the bulk of energy being exported to the U.S. from Canada.

 

Alternative suppliers of Canadian exports — potash, for instance – are often problematic countries like Russia or China. Continue…

Canada Is A Failed State

 

https://www.truth11.com/canada-is-a-failed-state/

 

We’d be lucky to be the 51st State.

 

25% tariffs will [would] ruin us. The tariffs mean one million small businesses – all which sell to the U.S. – will contract and many will close their doors. And then Trump, as he promised the unions, will pull “our” auto industry. Then we’re done.

 

Who is to blame for this?

 

The following is going to be crude because Canada is so boring (that’s deliberate) that no one cares. There are a thousand ultra-complex rationales on why Canada is failing and all they do is obfuscate. I’m not pulling punches, softening rhetoric – it is bad. It is urgent. This is the death of something that 75 years ago was shining, sunlit, exciting. That country? That country was killed by the Laurentian elite, weak, cosplaying Marxism to stay in power, themselves outwitted by investment bankers who plan to steal everything not nailed down. In so doing new elements were forcibly injected into the population: envy, resentment of the successful, sloth, the refusal to grow up, be strong and independent. We effectively sit on top of the U.S., seething with envy, in wet diapers.

 

We are a broken country. Everyone who understands the world knows this. The only people who don’t are deluded Canadian socialists, which is to say our entire elite and all our “knowledge class”. Dissent is ignored. Or jailed.

 

Central banker Mark Carney, WEFer paramount, is being parachuted into the Liberal party in order to sell us off to the investment banks who will harvest us for our resources. Our people? Future serfs in Special Enterprise Zones. We already have the regulation in place. No taxes, no worker rights, no enviro controls, no self-determination, no agency, no freedom. Time frame? Ten years, twenty at the outside. The inevitable end of hard-core socialism. Continue…

“This funding will advance equality for 2SLGBTQI+ communities across Canada and address the rise in hate,” the government claimed in a press release.

 

The government said the money will help “build and sustain resilience of 2SLGBTQI+ communities against hate and discrimination,” with the funds coming as part of Canada’s Action Plan on Combatting Hate that was launched in the fall of 2024 and follows Trudeau’s Federal 2SLGBTQI+ Action Plan, which is in its third year of operation.

 

People’s Party of Canada leader Maxime Bernier blasted the funding, noting how spending money while the country is in a “major economic crisis” shows how “Liberal nutcases” are “wasting” taxpayer money on “woke activists.”

 

“As Canada is on the verge of a major economic crisis, these Liberal nutcases are wasting another $41M on woke activists and mentally ill people who identify as one of the 52 genders. Unbelievable,” Bernier wrote Saturday on X in response to Hepfner’s X post about the funding. Continue…

Murder of US Border Patrol agent linked to bizarre ‘antifascist trans terror cult’

 

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/murder-of-us-border-patrol-agent-linked-to-bizarre-antifascist-trans-terror-cult/

 

As in other recent mass killings by transgender individuals, the bizarre behavior and extreme violence and murders by the Zizian ‘trans terror cult’ raises questions about the role of opposite sex hormones treatment.

 

A complex cross-country story, mostly ignored by corporate media, has been exposed by investigative journalist Andy Ngo who has shown that a series of murders from coast to coast are likely connected to members of a bizarre “radical leftist trans militant cult.”

 

On January 20, Border Patrol Agent David Maland was shot to death during what started out as a routine traffic stop near the Canadian border in Vermont. That was the event that triggered the release of the research Ngo had collected concerning the “Ziz” cult.

 

An infographic included with Ngo’s excellent reporting for the New York Post provides the easiest means for understanding the who, what, when, and where of this convoluted story; a story where it’s difficult to ascertain even the sexes of the major players, and even more difficult to divine their motives. Ngo literally connected the dots for his readers.

 

Each of the Zizian cult members are reported to be highly educated, identify as transgender or non-binary, and have chosen to live on the fringes of society while building an arsenal of weapons for a not-yet-understood purpose.

 

Ngo also described the group as “highly educated trans vegan ‘rationalists’ who hold fringe, esoteric ideological beliefs about transhumanism and animal rights.”

 

It appears the Zizians had been preparing to incite terror, and were not above murdering anyone who they perceived as standing in their way. Continue…

Trudeau government claims digital ID system would remain ‘optional’

 

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/trudeau-government-claims-digital-id-system-would-remain-optional/

 

A briefing note from Trudeau's cabinet dated October 2024 touts a digital ID system as 'safer' but insists that it will remain 'optional' for Canadians once rolled out.

 

A briefing note from members of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s cabinet claims that a national digital ID system is “easier” and “more securer” than traditional identification, but insists it will remain “optional.”

 

According to Blacklock’s Reporter, an October 30, 2024 briefing note titled Digital Credentials Issue And Verify Request For Information, said that “Digital credentials support a quicker, easier, safer, more secure and more cost effective way to access services digitally,” and that their implementation “would allow the Government of Canada to offer the use of digital credentials on an optional basis”

 

The contents of the briefing note come after federal regulators previously disclosed they are working on digital credentials for Canadians despite the fact MPs have repeatedly rejected the proposal over safety concerns, as reported by LifeSiteNews.

 

Shared Services Canada, a federal IT department, is developing “digital credentials” for things like Social Insurance Numbers, the Canadian equivalent of America’s Social Services number, which one needs to work legally.

 

The October 30, 2024 note is dated just two days after Shared Services Canada had disclosed to contractors that it was “working to establish digital credentials” for the public. Continue…

A tale of two pipelines: Quebec reconsiders LNG, but not oil

 

https://www.westernstandard.news/alberta/a-tale-of-two-pipelines-quebec-reconsiders-lng-but-not-oil/61932

 

Just a day after categorically rejecting the Energy East oil pipeline, Quebec is now rethinking its stance on a liquefied natural gas (LNG) pipeline from Western Canada thanks to economic uncertainty and trade tensions with the US.

 

That’s because the government of Quebec Premier François Legault, which scrapped the LNG-Québec project in 2021 due to environmental concerns, is now signalling a willingness to reconsider it. Environment Minister Benoit Charette made it clear on Wednesday, however, that any revival would have to meet the “stringent environmental criteria” that led to its rejection in the first place.

 

“We’re not opposed to energy products that respect the environmental criteria,” Charette told reporters at the National Assembly. He also warned that if the project remains unchanged, the decision to reject it would stand. Continue…

WATCH: Carney says he’s campaigning on ‘woke’ ideology

Liberal leadership candidate and unelected politician Mark Carney is clinging to “woke” ideology and DEI (diversity, equity, inclusion) agendas as the US cans such policies.

 

President Donald Trump has axed funding for all DEI programs and condemned institutions like the Federal Aviation Administration for hiring based on skin colour and sexual preferences rather than merit.

 

Carney, on the other hand, apparently believes discriminating based on appearance and sexual identity is what Canadians want — and even perpetuates the veneer that these programs are “inclusive” for all. Continue…

Libertarian economist Milton Friedman passed away in 2006, which is a shame because he would likely be thrilled about what is happening in the United States right now with Elon Musk and DOGE under President Trump.

 

In 1999, Friedman gave an interview to Peter Robinson of the Hoover Institution in which he was asked which government departments he would cut and which ones he would keep. It is essentially a preview of the work that Musk and DOGE are doing right now.

 

It’s amazing to see it now in the context of what is happening.

President Trump to Get Back All Classified Documents Seized in Mar-a-Lago Raid

 

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/02/president-trump-get-back-all-classified-documents-seized/

 

President Trump will get back all of his classified documents and personal belongings seized by the FBI in the Mar-a-Lago raid, CNN reported.

 

Biden’s FBI raided Mar-a-Lago in 2022 and seized boxes of records from Trump’s Florida estate.

 

More than 3 dozen machine-gun-toting agents descended on Mar-a-Lago in August 2022, and by November, Biden’s DOJ appointed a special counsel to investigate the documents stored at the Florida residence.

 

Court documents revealed Biden’s FBI authorized the use of deadly force during their raid on Mar-a-Lago authorized by US Attorney General Merrick Garland.

 

Corrupt FBI agents released staged photos of the ‘classified’ documents laid out on the floor of Mar-a-Lago.

 

So what exactly was the Deep State seizing from Trump’s estate? What was the FBI looking for?

 

According to investigative reporter Paul Sperry, the FBI may have had a personal stake and searched for classified documents related to Spygate. Continue…

REPORT: USAID Funded Stanford University and Its “Internet Observatory” Project – The Same Censorship Group That Targeted The Gateway Pundit and Parler

 

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/02/report-usaid-funded-stanford-university-its-internet-observatory/

 

Over the past years, many of us, this journalist included, have been completely wiped from major social media platforms that function as today’s digital public square.

 

Now we know that taxpayer money has been funneled to silence the American taxpayers. Let me tell you a story about the digital media platform Parler and how the USAID targeted them.

 

With that in mind, Parler and other platforms began providing us that freedom in the digital space. Parler in particular, founded in 2018 as a Twitter’esque alternative that respects ACTUAL free speech, was one of the earlier pioneers in this parallel economy for the exchange of ideas.

 

While it achieved some early success and showed signs of growing to tens of millions of followers over the course of the next few years, they too became victims of Orwellian attacks from hacktivist groups that have spent years doxxing, debanking, harassing, and stifling anyone to the right of Karl Marx.

 

In the days following the events of January 6th, that we now know was fomented by federal informants and allowed to continue by Nancy Pelosi and the DC Mayor’s failure to take President Trump’s concerns about security seriously, a leftwing hacktivist breached Parler and leaked users personal data.

 

And then Apple and Google banned them from the App Store, with Amazon Web Services being the final nail in Parler’s coffin by canceling their hosting services.

 

BTW, Parler is back under new leadership and planning BIG THINGS in the coming weeks. Secured by the blockchain and free from censorship.

 

Now, this GP journalist has learned that the Stanford Internet Observatory, a group that received funding from the National Science Foundation, which is in partnership and receives funds from USAID, published a report on how they “took down” Parler.

 

The GP has been involved in a lawsuit against the SIO with Trump advisor Stephen Miller’s America First legal, because of their role in censoring vital COVID-19 vaccine and 2020 election information. Continue…

It arises now that the Bundeswehr (German army) is currently in the process of equipping and training its 10th Armored Division to be the first division geared for full operational readiness.

 

You read it right: in Germany, right now, at most ‘part of a division’ would be ready for combat in the event of a military conflict.

Russia Has (By Far) The World's Largest Icebreaker Fleet

 

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/russia-has-far-worlds-largest-icebreaker-fleet

 

Canada, the United States and Finland announced a new trilateral partnership called the "ICE Pact" (or Icebreaker Collaboration Effort) in July, 2024, stating that they would jointly build a fleet of as many as 90 icebreakers in the next years.

 

Icebreakers are used for several purposes including scientific missions.

 

However, as Statista's Anna Fleck notes, investments in the ICE Pact are also considered to fall under defence and security, with Canadian authorities citing the shipbuilding as a move to assert "Arctic sovereignty".

 

Data compiled by the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) and published by Reuters details how Russia had 57 icebreakers and ice-capable patrol ships in 2022.

 

This was more than any other single country at the time.

 

When combined (including the new additions of Sweden and Finland), the NATO alliance had 47 icebreakers as of 2022.

 

China had two icebreakers in 2022 and has since added a third to its fleet, with a fourth polar research icebreaker expected to be delivered in 2025.

Quebec union group files legal action against Amazon in response to warehouse closures

 

https://tnc.news/2025/02/06/quebec-union-files-legal-action-amazon/

 

Members of one of Quebec’s largest union confederations are taking legal action against Amazon over its closure of seven warehouses and demanding Canadian consumers boycott the global retailer.

 

The Confédération des Syndicats Nationaux (CSN), which includes around 1,600 affiliated unions and represents about 330,00 workers, said it’s not fooled by Amazon’s “blatant union-busting motives” in the company’s decision to close down Quebec warehouses last month.

 

The CSN accused the tech company of doing so as a means to skirt dealing with unions, which sought to acquire a collective agreement for Amazon warehouse workers.

 

“They’re not fooling anyone,” said CSN president Caroline Senneville. “The only reason for Amazon to have a different business model just for Quebec is that there’s a union here and an arbitrator could have imposed a first collective agreement as early as the summer of 2025.”

 

The CSN confirmed that legal action is underway against Amazon, calling for a halt to the company’s mass layoffs and the reopening of its warehouses. Continue…

P.E.I. councillor, sanctioned for “Mass graves: Hoax” lawn sign, seeks court review

A Canadian civil liberties organization announced it would be representing a beleaguered municipal councillor at the Supreme Court of Prince Edward Island in an attempt to reverse sanctions over a controversial sign he posted outside of his home.

 

The Canadian Constitution Foundation (CCF) will be at the provincial Supreme Court on Thursday to argue for a judicial review of a decision which sanctioned the councillor for the “Mass graves: Hoax” sign.

 

John Robertson, a councillor in Murray Harbour P.E.I., has been sanctioned by the province and municipality after some in his community were offended by his use of a signboard on his property.

 

Robertson placed a sign on his lawn displaying a message that was critical of the false narrative that hundreds of bodies were discovered in supposed unmarked graves at a residential school in Kamloops, B.C.

 

During Canada’s “Truth and Reconciliation Day” weekend in September 2023, Robertson wrote out a controversial message on the sign in hopes of sparking a conversation around what he viewed to be a hoax perpetrated by legacy media.

 

“Truth: Mass Grave Hoax. Reconciliation: Redeem Sir John A’s Integrity,” the sign said. Continue…

Canada reports first trade surplus since February, $708 million in December

 

https://tnc.news/2025/02/06/canada-first-trade-surplus-since-february/

 

For the first time in ten months, Statistics Canada is reporting a trade surplus with the rest of the world, exporting more than it imported in December.

 

According to a Statistics Canada report for December, Canada’s merchandise exports increased by 4.9 per cent, and its imports increased by 2.3 per cent from November.

 

This change brought Canada’s trade balance of physical goods with the rest of the world from a $986 million deficit in November to a $708 million surplus in December.

 

The same month reported a 0.8-per-cent increase in service exports to $18.1 billion. Canada also saw a 1.2-per-cent decrease in service imports bringing the value of imports to $18.2 billion.

 

When combining international trade in goods and services Canadian exports rose 4.1 per cent to $87.6 billion in December, and imports increased 1.6 per cent to $86.9 billion.

 

This flipped Canada’s $1.4 billion total trade deficit with the world in November to a $641 million surplus in December.

 

U.S. President Donald Trump has noted Canada’s apparent trade deficit with the U.S. and has called for Ottawa to balance the books with the U.S. during talks of tariffs against Canada. Continue…

Trade minister confirms supply management concessions are off the table

 

https://tnc.news/2025/02/06/supply-management-concessions-off-the-table/

 

International Trade Minister Mary Ng said the federal government will not be making concessions on supply management amid its ongoing turbulent relationship with the Trump administration regarding tariff threats.

 

Ng made the comments during an interview with CTV’s Power Play host Vassy Kapelos while discussing a variety of trade issues now faced by the country in the wake of President Trump’s inauguration.

 

Canada was granted a one-month reprieve from Trump’s 25-per-cent tariffs on all Canadian imports after a series of negotiations took place Monday between Trump and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

 

Given the current uncertainty around cross-border trade, Kapelos poked Ng about whether the federal government had any intention of moving the goalposts on supply management such as allowing U.S. dairy producers access to Canadian markets.

 

The Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement is up for renegotiation next year and Ng responded by saying that when CUSMA was negotiated in 2018, so was the dairy sector.

 

“This agreement negotiated by President Trump was touted as one that worked for the Americans, worked for Canadians and worked for Mexicans,” said Ng. “Supply management was very much a part of those negotiations on a balance of a whole bunch of things.”

 

According to Ng, the Americans have “absolutely taken advantage of the dispute settlement system that is a part of our trade agreement.” Continue…

Trump admin to put 100 'environmental justice' EPA workers on leave: report

 

https://thepostmillennial.com/trump-admin-to-put-100-environmental-justice-epa-workers-on-leave-report

 

The Trump administration is set to put over 100 employees from the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) environmental justice and civil rights office on leave, according to the Wall Street Journal. The action is connected to President Donald Trump’s executive order to cut back on the scope of government with regard to DEI programs.

 

The changes are expected to begin this week and could take place as soon as Thursday, and are part of Trump’s executive order to cut DEI and “environmental justice” programs. Employees in other EPA divisions may also be impacted by the move.

 

While employees on administrative leave continue to receive salary and benefits, they can only be placed on leave for 10 days per calendar year, according to Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility. After 10 days, it's unclear what will happen.

 

Staffers at the EPA’s environmental justice office were informed that the agency is compiling a list of those working on climate change projects. During the Biden administration, the office at the EPA had around 200 employees and the agency got billions of dollars to spend on climate change projects as a result of the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).

 

The IRA also included funds for so-called, “environmental justice,” where the Biden administration used targeted health programs meant to treat pollution exposure for lower-income and minority communities.

 

Republicans have called the office and “environmental justice” programs into question, saying that the programs have unclear goals and may not actually benefit lower-income communities.

 

Supporter of “environmental justice” Michelle Roos, the executive director of the Environmental Protection Network, called the cuts to the programs a “witch hunt” and said that more people will suffer because communities may not get access to clean water and air. An EPA spokesperson said the agency is “working to diligently implement President Trump’s executive orders” with regard to DEI.

Ford warns of ‘unresolvable’ hurdles for EV pickups and SUVs amid tariff uncertainty, huge losses

 

https://www.westernstandard.news/business/ford-warns-of-unresolvable-hurdles-for-ev-pickups-and-suvs-amid-tariff-uncertainty-huge-losses/61977
