So What if I’m Racist?

There are many in the environmental movement who chose the coward’s way out. They know that population growth plays a crucial role in environmental degradation. And they know that in the United States, Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom it is immigration which drives population growth and that it will play an even more decisive role in the future.

..As “unofficial reports” of massive MDC victory continue to filter….

Whispers in groups at street corners, text messages on mobile phones and unconfirmed facts from "reliable" friends and relatives have become the channel for communicating yesterday's Zimbabwe's election result. The message is the same, a huge MDC (Tsvangirai) victory, including in rural areas once considered a Zanu PF stronghold. Voting ended around 1900hrs yesterday and the only national broadcaster, the Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation (ZBC), monopolized by Mugabe's ruling Zanu PF party, announced early today that they will start broadcasting the results in the morning. It is now well after 1600 hrs and the anxious crowd is still waiting impatiently for the first set of results from the 11, 000 polling stations around the country to be officially announced. Counting at most polling stations is well over.

Fitna the movie defeating Islamic censorship

Nothing makes people want to see something more than banning it, or even better yet, telling them they may not be able to handle it (remember the Blair Witch Project?). On that basis, the new film Fitna, must be pulling in internet viewers by the tens of millions.

In Canada, Chinese Media Stir Up Anger Against Tibetans

From the Epoch Times It was the kind of tightly scripted broadcast typical of state-run television in China. The narrator introduced the story: "Incited and masterminded by the Dalai Lama clique, a few criminals did beating, smashing, looting, and arson in downtown Lhasa, causing huge damage to people's lives and property." Statements like this one, which opened a March 23 documentary on the unrest in Tibet, have been beamed into the homes of Chinese Canadians over the last two weeks via the communist regime's China Central Television 4 channel, which airs on Rogers Cable.

Fishing for Joy

I received an email at the beginning of March. It was from a lady in South Africa. She said she had seen my profile on Facebook – that’s where you can tell all the good things about yourself, add a couple of ‘recent’ pictures and everyone knows what you look like and believes what you tell them. One of the aspects of my profile says I’m 65 and I am single.

Appeasing the Islamists: Geert Wilders’s Ordeal and the Lessons of the Past

Adolf Hitler realized the importance of having a good press. In Nazi Germany with its press censorship, it was easy for Hitler to have a good press. However, during the 1930s the Nazis also tried to control the media in the neighboring European countries that Hitler was planning to invade. The Nazis bullied the democratically elected governments in these countries to censor everything that resembled what today might be called “Naziphobia” – criticism of Nazism.

Bangladesh’s Rapid Action Battalion Licensed to kill!

This is not a new James Bond 007 movie. This is a true story about the most notorious terror organization in Bangladesh. One that enjoys official status and termed as an ‘elite force’. Rapid Action Battalion [RAB] was established on March 26, 2004 and since its establishment, a total of 472 alleged criminals have so far been killed in the name of "crossfire" or "encounter" between associates of the so-called criminals and RAB members. Article 32 of the Constitution of the Peoples’ Republic of Bangladesh provides that no person shall be deprived of life or personal liberty save in accordance with law. However, legalization of extra judicial executions has reduced such constitutional guarantees to mere inscriptions. As many as 111 people were extra judicially executed by the law enforcement personnel in the country from 1 January to 30 September 2004 in comparison to 56 killings in 2003. at least 43 people have been killed by Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) alone mostly in `crossfire’ since it launched operations.

“Who Is John McCain?”

With the Democrat candidates for President chewing each other up and heading towards self destruction and melt-down at their national convention, and with each of the Democrat candidates being so far left of any definable center, John McCain could easily be the next president of the United States. Other Democrat candidates who were far left-of-center, suffered a similar fate. i.e. Dukakis, Mondale, Kerry, etc.

Canada’s Health Care System Cannot Survive Mass Immigration

A cynic might characterize Canada’s medicare system as the universal, free, democratic and egalitarian access to a two-year waiting list. You jump the queue only if you have the bucks and the referral to jump over the 49th, unless a life-threatening emergency sends you to the OR.
