The death of Colombian senator and presidential pre-candidate Miguel Uribe Turbay, which occurred today, August 11, 2025, after two months in critical condition due to an armed attack, has shaken Colombia and the continent.

This tragic event, perpetrated on June 7, 2025, by a hitman barely 15 years old, not only claimed the life of a prominent conservative leader from the Democratic Center party, but has also raised alarms about the deterioration of democracy in Colombia under the government of Gustavo Petro.

Uribe Turbay, known for his staunch opposition to Petro's leftist policies, became a symbol of resistance to what many perceive as an authoritarian drift. Continue…

DECLASSIFIED: Democrat Whistleblower Warned FBI That Adam Schiff Authorized Leaking Classified Information to Destroy Trump During Russia Hoax – Swalwell Also Played a Role in the Leaks

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/08/declassified-democrat-whistleblower-warned-fbi-that-adam-schiff/

An unidentified Democrat whistleblower told the FBI that then-Democrat Rep. Adam Schiff approved leaking classified information to smear Trump, according to newly declassified FBI 302 interview reports obtained by Just The News.

Beginning in 2017, the intel officer who worked on the House Intelligence Committee repeatedly told the FBI that Schiff authorized leaking classified information to destroy Trump during the Russiagate hoax.

The whistleblower said Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell was likely the source of the classified leaks.

At the time of the leaks, Adam Schiff served as the ranking member (and later the chairman) of the House Intelligence Committee. Schiff is now a US Senator for California.

The Gateway Pundit repeatedly reported on Schiff’s leaks to the media during the Trump-Russia witch hunt.

According to the newly declassified FBI report, DOJ officials did not show any interest in probing Schiff over his illegal leaks.

The whistleblower told the FBI as recent as 2023 that he personally witnessed Adam Schiff approve the leaking of classified information. Continue…

State Department Official Caught on O’Keefe Media Undercover Video Admitting He Dated Senior CCP Leader’s Daughter Placed on Leave, Stripped of Access to Classified Information

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/08/state-department-official-caught-okeefe-media-undercover-video/

Last week, the O’Keefe Media Group released undercover video of Daniel Choi, a US State Department Foreign Service Officer who admitted he dated a senior CCP leader’s daughter and refused to report her.

“I defied my government for love,” Daniel Choi said of his romantic relationship with 27-year-old Joi Zao.

Joi Zao entered the US on a work visa in September 2024.

“Her dad was either a provincial or a federal minister of education. So he’s, like, straight up Communist Party,” Choi said.

“Under federal regulations, Foreign Service Officers are required to report close and continuing contact with foreign nationals from adversarial nations, including China,” the O’Keefe Media Group reported.

Choi admitted he didn’t report her: “I was supposed to, whatever, sort of report what I knew about her, but I always thought that was kind of unfair.”

Last week the State Department said the incident was under investigation.

On Monday it was reported Daniel Choi was placed on administrative leave and stripped of access to classified information pending an internal investigation.

China’s Global Momentum Slows as Support Wanes for Its World Domination Projects

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/08/chinas-global-momentum-slows-as-support-wanes-its/

China’s global standing is weakening in 2025, with its high-profile international initiatives delivering little beyond headlines. The country’s three flagship campaigns, the Global Development Initiative (GDI), Global Security Initiative (GSI), and Global Civilization Initiative (GCI), are struggling to gain meaningful traction, while its once-touted Health Silk Road is in decline. Even BRICS, the China-led economic bloc once touted as a vehicle to remake the world order, is slowing its expansion and has had little to no tangible global impact. Continue…

Obama-appointed Judge James Boasberg ordered the release of documents related to Jack Smith’s classified documents case and President Trump’s attorney-client privilege dispute.

Far-Left Jew-Hating Grok Suspended on X

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/08/far-left-jew-hating-grok-suspended-x/

The AI chatbot Grok, deployed by Elon Musk’s xAI, was briefly suspended on X on Monday.

According to reports, the account was suspended after an alleged NSFW video appeared prominently in the bot’s reply feed.

The account returned minutes later.

However, Grok later claimed the AI was suspended over so-called “antisemitic” remarks.

My account was briefly suspended for violating X rules, likely tied to recent controversial responses deemed antisemitic after updates to reduce political correctness. xAI apologized, and I'm back—more refined, yet unapologetically truthful.

ROYAL FEUDS: Queen Camilla Angry with Prince William for Encroaching on King Charles’ Powers: REPORT

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/08/royal-feuds-queen-camilla-angry-prince-william-encroaching/

King Charles against scandalous brother Prince Andrew; prodigal son Prince Harry against his heir-to-the-throne Prince William, against his father the King, against ‘that woman’, his stepmother the Queen.

The Windsor Royal family is rife with family feuds, and now a report arises suggesting another vector of conflict has emerged: Queen Camilla would be urging King Charles to keep his heir, Prince William, from ‘trying to create issues’ within the monarchy.

A former royal photographer has been quoted by the British Press saying that William ‘is overstepping boundaries’ while Charles is still King.

Australia Is Next US Ally Pledging To Recognize Palestinian Statehood At UN

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/australia-next-us-ally-pledging-recognize-palestinian-statehood-un

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced Monday that Australia will officially recognize a Palestinian state in September at the 80th session of the UN General Assembly (UNGA), which has drawn the predicable sharp rebuke from Israel.

"A two-state solution remains the best hope for ending the violence in the Middle East and alleviating the suffering in Gaza," he said at a press conference in Canberra.

Australia is a significant addition to a growing list of leading Western countries who have pledged the same, including France, Canada, and the UK. New Zealand is also said to be strongly mulling joining the list. Continue…

Revealed: Shots Fired After Japanese Destroyer Breached Chinese Waters

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/revealed-shots-fired-after-japanese-destroyer-breached-chinese-waters

This weekend, Japan's Kyodo news cited high level diplomatic sources who revelaed for the first time a dangerous event between Chinese and Japanese naval vessels which unfolded a year ago. In July 2024, Chinese naval vessels fired at least two warning shots at a Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force (MSDF) destroyer after it unintentionally entered Chinese territorial waters off Zhejiang Province, a coastal region in East China

The destroyer, Suzutsuki, was described as monitoring Chinese military exercises in international waters when the incident occurred. The Japanese government sources seem to be admitting that it was the fault of the Japese vessel, as the explanation given in Kyodo is that the ship's electronic navigation system failed to display territorial boundaries.

The destroy thus 'uknowingly' and inadvertently hcrossed directly into Chinese territorial waters, having come within 12 nautical miles (about 22 kilometers) of China's coast for approximately 20 minutes on July 4. Continue…

Polish PM blasts ‘local idiots’ after neo-Nazi flag scandal (VIDEO)

https://www.rt.com/news/622803-polish-concert-nazis-kiev/

57 Ukrainians and six Belarusians face deportation following disturbances at a rap concert in Warsaw’s National Stadium

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has accused “local idiots” and “foreign agents” of stoking tensions between Poland and Ukraine, following the display of a flag used by Ukrainian Nazi collaborators who participated in the ethnic cleansing of Poles during World War II, at a rap concert in Warsaw.

Former Polish ambassador to Washington, Marek Magierowski, said that the concert had been attended by “hundreds of able-bodied, conscription-age Ukrainians.” He added that they were “Proudly displaying a red-and-black nationalist flag, an outrageous insult to most Poles.”

In a post on X on Tuesday, Tusk accused Russia of seeking to pit the two nations against each other. “The resolution of the Ukrainian war is approaching, so Russia is doing everything to sow discord between Kiev and Warsaw,” he claimed. Moscow has consistently denied interfering in the affairs of other nations.

While admitting that the “anti-Polish gestures” were made exclusively by Ukrainians, he suggested that it was Moscow’s “scenario, orchestrated by foreign agents and local idiots.” Continue…

While the U.S. redirects funding from mRNA vaccine projects, citing concerns about efficacy and safety, Canada continues to invest heavily in the technology while ignoring questions about long-term risks and the need for more transparent safety data to ensure informed consent.

The United States is redirecting half a billion dollars away from mRNA vaccine development, citing inefficacy and safety risks, while Canada continues to pour taxpayer funds into this contentious technology, raising questions about public health priorities and informed consent. Continue…

Petition to Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow demands end to taxpayer funding of Pride

https://www.rebelnews.com/citizen_go_delivers_petition_to_toronto_mayor_olivia_chow_demanding_city_end_taxpayer_funding_to_pride_toronto

Citizen Go recently delivered a petition to Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow demanding the city end taxpayer funding to Pride Toronto.

Not everyone is proud of Pride Toronto.

Case in point: Gregory Tomchyshyn, Campaigns Director, Canada, for Citizen Go.

Tomchyshyn recently dropped by Toronto City Hall to deliver a petition to Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow asking for an immediate end to taxpayer-funding of Pride Toronto.

The petition has garnered more than 9,800 signatures. And the rationale for the petition, according to Tomchyshyn, is to put an end to taxpayer funding of “an event that allows explicit public nudity on city streets, often in front of family and children.”

As well, Tomchyshyn says the petition is meant to “send a strong, united message that your community values public decency and family-friendly spaces.”

The nudity (and even sexual acts) that occur in public during the Toronto Pride Parade are indeed concerning for those who champion public decency. Continue…

Toronto hiring more police officers, 911 operators to address safety concerns, response times

https://www.rebelnews.com/toronto_hiring_more_police_officers_911_operators_to_address_safety_concerns_response_times

“When you need help fast in an emergency, you shouldn’t have to wait,” Mayor Olivia Chow said during Monday's announcement.

Toronto will be hiring hundreds of new police officers and dozens of new 911 operators through a five-year hiring plan, Mayor Olivia Chow announced on Monday.

In addition to 720 officers being hired in the first two years of the program, the city is looking to add 90 more 911 operators by the end of 2025. Currently, it has added 60 so far.

The bolstering of the Toronto Police Service “will make a huge difference on the front line and will support our efforts to reduce response times,” Chief Myron Demkiw said earlier this year.

“As mayor and as city, our top priority must be to keep the people safe and answer their call when they need most,” Mayor Chow said in her announcement, as reported by CBC.

Toronto has seen worsening crime in recent years, with homicides hitting a five-year high in 2024. Police response times to crimes also climbed, with average responses taking near 20 minutes in 2024, though that number has decreased closer to 13 minutes in 2025.

As recently as 2023, some residents reported not hearing from police for up to 24 hours after calling.

“When you need help fast in an emergency, you shouldn’t have to wait,” Mayor Chow said during Monday's announcement.

The city has also recently unveiled a new, non-emergency line for residents to contact police by dialling *877 on mobile devices.

Canada’s Islamophobia Czar racked up over $100K in taxpayer-funded travel expenses

https://www.rebelnews.com/canada_s_special_representative_on_combatting_islamophobia_billed_taxpayers_over_50k_in_travel_expenses_last_year

Amira Elghawaby, Canada's ‘Special Representative on Combatting Islamophobia,’ reportedly claimed $54,459 for 31 trips in 2024 alone.

Canada’s Special Representative on Combatting Islamophobia, Amira Elghawaby, has spent a staggering amount of taxpayer funds on travel since entering office, according to reporting from Le Journal de Montréal.

In 2024 alone, Elghawaby reportedly billed taxpayers $54,459 to attend seminars and conferences relating to Islamophobia in Canada and around the globe.

The sum is even more than the $54,236 that Canada’s United Nations Ambassador Bob Rae claimed in travel expenses during the same year.

Since Elghawaby entered the position in 2023, she has averaged nearly $4000 per month in travel expenses, totalling $118,631, according to Le Journal de Montréal. Continue…

Republican lawmakers call on Canada to lessen impact of wildfire smoke

https://www.rebelnews.com/republican_lawmakers_call_on_canada_to_lessen_impact_of_wildfire_smoke

This year, wildfires have burned 7.4 million hectares as of August 11, causing ongoing poor air quality in parts of Canada and the United States.

Canadian officials say firefighters can't reduce smoke drift from wildfires, despite U.S. complaints about Canada's efforts, reported the Globe and Mail.

The Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Centre, a non-profit organization that brokers staff and equipment for wildland fire management agencies, briefed reporters Thursday on Canada’s ongoing wildfire season. It ranks as the second-worst on record, with 4,344 fires detected and 711 still active as of Monday, according to the Centre.

Meanwhile, Natural Resources Canada attributes wildfires to ‘climate change’ and prolonged drought. Continue…

Okanagan Falls residents say they were blindsided by B.C. reconciliation law (Videos)

https://www.rebelnews.com/blindsided_by_b_c_reconciliation_law_okanagan_falls_residents_say_they_were_denied_a_fair_choice_as_land_and_name_changes_loom

Residents claim they were denied a fair say as the Osoyoos Indian Band demands Crown land removal, development veto power, and a potential name change for the soon-to-be incorporated South Okanagan community.

Many Okanagan Falls (OK Falls) residents are expressing concerns after learning that their vote to incorporate their small South Okanagan community — which narrowly passed by referendum in March — is now tied to conditions from the province and the Osoyoos Indian Band under British Columbia’s Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (DRIPA).

B.C.’s DRIPA is the province’s legal adoption of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP), an international and “aspirational” framework outlining what rights for Indigenous people should look like according to the globalist entity. UNDRIP was passed by the UN General Assembly in 2007, but carried no legal force in Canada until the province of B.C. turned the aspirations into binding law through DRIPA legislation in 2019.

The issue had been quietly brewing until recently, when Okanagan Falls residents say they’ve been caught off guard by the extensive influence DRIPA grants First Nations over what they believe should be democratic processes. Continue…

Elon Musk’s X tops Canadian news apps, outperforming CBC, CTV

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/elon-musks-x-tops-canadian-news-apps-outperforming-cbc-ctv/

Elon Musk's X, formerly Twitter, has become Canada's top news app, surpassing state-funded CBC and CTV, as Canadians increasingly turn to alternative media.

Elon Musk’s X, formerly known as Twitter, now ranks number one in news apps for Canadians, outranking mainstream media outlets.

In an August 7 post, Elon Musk, the owner of X, celebrated X placing first among news apps downloaded from the app store in Canada, as Canadians increasingly turn to alternative media sources amid ongoing media censorship and bias.

“This indicates that a very large segment of the Canadian population no longer trusts the mainstream media,” Campaign Life Coalition’s Jack Fonseca told LifeSiteNews.

“They view legacy news outlets like the CBC as nothing more than propaganda factories, paid by the Liberal government to spew forth its narratives,” he continued.

Since X was bought by Musk in 2023, the platform has relaxed its censorship policies, allowing for a more open discussion of controversial topics.

While by no means perfect, the app has become a valuable method of sharing censored information, especially in Canada, where most media outlets receive funding from the Liberal government.

“Generally speaking, free speech reigns on X, and that’s what people want,” Fonseca declared. “They want the ability to hear both sides of an issue, no matter how controversial. The freedom to say what they believe and not be censored.”

“The CBC, CTV, Toronto Star and all the other propaganda machines do not allow both sides of an issue to be aired in a fair or balanced manner,” he continued.

Indeed, while X sits at number one, CBC News, Canada’s crown news agency, ranks at number 9 in news apps. Similarly, CTV News is ranked at number 10. Continue…

BOMBSHELL: What do Cartels, drugs, and illegal gun smuggling have in common? Sovereign Indigenous lands.

https://breaking-news.ca/bombshell-what-do-cartels-drugs-and-illegal-gun-smuggling-have-in-common-sovereign-indigenous-lands/

a CBC investigation by Katarina Szulc, revealing how drug cartels exploit Six Nations Reserve in Ontario for illegal marijuana grow operations, leveraging sovereign Indigenous land status to evade Canadian law enforcement, a tactic supported by the reserve’s historical border proximity established by the 1784 Haldimand Proclamation.

Data from the U.S. Justice Department (2006-2011) shows 70% of 94,000 weapons recovered from Mexican cartels originated in the U.S., suggesting a parallel smuggling network that could extend to Canada, where similar routes may facilitate both drug and gun trafficking, as noted in ATF reports on shared trafficking corridors.

A 2025 Reuters report indicates ongoing tensions with First Nations over land use, with constitutional challenges to fast-track legislation, potentially complicating efforts to address cartel activities on reserves due to legal protections and the government’s duty to consult, a dynamic rarely discussed in mainstream crime narratives.

Canadian Girl Guides protest Trump by suspending travel to US

https://thepostmillennial.com/canadian-girl-guides-protest-trump-by-suspending-travel-to-us

In protest of US President Donald Trump’s border policies, the Girl Guides of Canada is suspending all group travel to their southern neighbor. The suspension will go into effect in September, and will include both previously approved and future trips.

In a statement to CTV News, the Girl Guides of Canada’s media team said, "This decision is rooted in our commitment to inclusivity and the safety of all our members. It was prompted by the recent restrictions put on equal entry into the United States, as some members may hold citizenship from non-Canadian countries and could be impacted by the restrictions."

The group added, "At Girl Guides of Canada, we prioritize creating a safe, inclusive and accepting environment for all members. These values extend to the travel experiences we offer." The group, which is the Canadian equivalent of the Girl Scouts in the US, did not say how long the suspension on travel to the US will be in place. Continue…

Zelenskyy Says He and Carney Agree Putin Seeking to ‘Buy Time’ With Trump Meeting

Prime Minister Mark Carney and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy spoke ahead of a meeting between U.S. and Russian leaders this week, with Zelenskyy saying the two agreed that Russian President Vladimir Putin is using the meeting as a stalling tactic.

“We see it the same way, and it is obvious that the Russians simply want to buy time, not end the war,” Zelenskyy said in his Aug. 11 readout of the call with Carney. The Ukrainian leader said Russian strikes on civilian infrastructure prove that Putin does not want to end the war.

Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump are set to meet in Alaska on Aug. 15.

The meeting comes as Trump has ramped up pressure on Putin in recent weeks, promising increased sanctions on Russia if peace is not reached. Trump has also increased pressure on major buyers of Russian oil such as India, threatening to raise tariffs against it to 50 percent on Aug. 27.

The readout from Carney’s office did not include comments about Putin’s purported intentions around his upcoming meeting with Trump. The readout mentions Carney and Zelenskyy welcome Trump’s leadership in trying to secure a peace deal, something not mentioned in Zelenskyy’s account of the call.

The Epoch Times contacted the Prime Minister’s Office for comment on Zelenskyy’s remarks but did not immediately hear back. Continue…

China Sets Steep Duties on Canadian Canola Imports, Opens New Probe

https://www.theepochtimes.com/china/china-sets-steep-duties-on-canadian-imports-opens-new-probe-5900151?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_med=medium-1

Beijing’s new measures came weeks after Canada unveiled plans aimed at bolstering its steel industry against a flood of cheap products from China.

China announced on Aug. 12 that it would impose tariffs on canola and rubber products imported from Canada, escalating trade tensions between Beijing and Ottawa.

China will implement a 26.2 percent duty on halogenated butyl rubber imported from Arlanxeo Canada, and a 40.5 percent duty will be levied on the same products from other Canadian companies, according to a statement from the Chinese Ministry of Commerce.

The tariffs, effective on Aug. 14, came a year after Beijing initiated a probe of commodity imports from Canada, Japan, and India.

The commerce ministry said on Aug. 12 that Japanese exporters of halogenated butyl rubber would incur a levy of up to 30.1 percent, while Indian producers will be exempt from new tariffs.

Separately, the ministry said it has decided to impose duties as high as 75.8 percent on canola, also known as rapeseed, shipped from Canada, which will also take effect on Aug. 14.

Previously, China had imposed 100 percent tariffs on canola oil, oil cakes, and pea imports, and 25 percent on aquatic and pork products in March.

The ministry’s latest update relates to an announced probe launched in September 2024, days after Canada sharply increased tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, steel, and aluminum products following the lead of the United States. Continue…

Canadian Military Takes Part in Arctic Operations in Defence of ‘North American Homeland’

https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/canadian-military-takes-part-in-arctic-operations-in-defence-of-north-american-homeland-5900236?ea_src=ca-frontpage&ea_med=medium-0

The Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) are taking part in several summer operations in a bid to reinforce sovereignty in the Arctic.

The activities span across the northern region and involve personnel and equipment from the navy, the army, the air force, and special operations. Some of the drills will be conducted jointly with the Canadian Coast Guard and the U.S. military.

Part of the military exercises under the NANOOK series are recurrent. DND describes NANOOK as the CAF’s “signature northern operation” involving different military elements, other government agencies, and foreign partners. It includes subordinate operations aiming to demonstrate a presence in the Arctic and a capability to respond to incidents.

The exercises are taking place this year in a changed political context, as Washington and Ottawa are seeking to redefine their security relationship.

“Ensuring that Canada’s North is well defended is a critical component of maintaining a secure North American homeland,” said Defence Minister David McGuinty in an Aug. 10 statement on the summer operations.

The concept of Canada helping to secure a “North American homeland” was adopted in late 2024, when the Liberal government released its Arctic foreign policy. Continue…
