    Globe and Mail says a CSIS report details Beijing's plan to support Liberals Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre accused Justin Trudeau on Friday of ignoring Chinese interference in the most recent federal election because Beijing's efforts were aimed at helping the Liberals — but Trudeau said his government is taking the threat seriously. The Globe and Mail reported Friday that secret and top-secret documents from the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) said Beijing sought to ensure a Liberal minority government and the defeat of several Conservative candidates in the 2021 federal election. A former Chinese consul-general in Vancouver bragged about her...
  • Why Fox News Lied to Its Viewers

    02/19/2023 11:24:49 AM PST · by xyz2 · 75 replies
    Fox News lies to its viewers. Its most prominent personalities, among the most influential in the industry, tell their viewers things they know not to be true. This is not accusation, allegation, or supposition. Today, we know it to be fact. Early in the Trump era, news organizations were torn over whether to refer to Donald Trump’s false statements as lies, because it is difficult to know an individual’s state of mind, to know what they know. In the throes of insecurity, ideological conviction, or carelessness, people can make statements that are false without malicious intent. The argument over what...

    ASBURY, Ky. (FOX 56) – Asbury University is finally calling an end to its non-stop revival after more than 10 days, the president of Asbury University, Dr. Kevin J. Brown, announced. Brown said he is trying to balance the incredible moment happening at the school with the needs of the students and their academic experience. The final public evening service will be at 7:30 p.m. on Sunday, but public worship will continue in the afternoon until Wednesday.

    Explanation: Is this really the famous Pleiades star cluster? Known for its iconic blue stars, the Pleiades is shown here in infrared light where the surrounding dust outshines the stars. Here three infrared colors have been mapped into visual colors (R=24, G=12, B=4.6 microns). The base images were taken by NASA's orbiting Wide Field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) spacecraft. Cataloged as M45 and nicknamed the Seven Sisters, the Pleiades star cluster is by chance situated in a passing dust cloud. The light and winds from the massive Pleiades stars preferentially repel smaller dust particles, causing the dust to become stratified...

    A deadly air battle took place over Alaska on February 10th. That historical event was part of Biden's new, improved strategy to shoot down everything flying over America. Apparently, Biden is still embarrassed that citizens actually noticed a Chinese spy balloon floating "across 2,000 miles of American airspace untouched." Oops. We weren't supposed to find out-but we did and now the White House has declared zero tolerance for anything flying. On February 10, 2023, a UFO (Unidentified Flying Object) was spotted flying at 38,910 feet over Alaska. A USAF, F-22 was scrambled to intercept and destroy said target. The pilot...

    The wreckage of a U.S. submarine from World War II was found off the coast of Hokkaido in northern Japan — after disappearing almost 80 years ago. The USS Albacore, credited with sinking at least 10 enemy vessels during the war, was found by the University of Tokyo's Tamaki Ura and positively identified by the Naval History and Heritage Command, the Navy said on Thursday. Albacore was long assumed to be lost forever. According to Japanese records, the submarine, with a crew of 85 men on board, likely struck a mine just off the shore of Hokkaido on Nov. 7,...

    Harvey Millican's Blog: Musings of a Trad Dad ^ | February 18, 2023 | Harvey Millican
    Why Can’t I Be a Good Trad?The rumors swirling – nearly certainly true at this point – of the realization of a demonic plot, long in the making, to completely kill the Latin Mass and bury those who worship according to her rites have reached a dizzying fever pitch. Just today, the Remnant ran a piece by Diane Montagna claiming that the forthcoming document to be shat out by the whatever Roman dicastery currently jockeying to be the antipope’s sphincter of the month will include a prohibition of ever celebrating the vetus ordo on any Sunday of the year. That’s...

    China's President Xi Jinping will deliver a "peace speech" on the anniversary of the invasion of Ukraine, Italy's foreign minister said on Friday, apparently continuing Beijing's line of urging peace while avoiding condemnation of its ally Russia. Antonio Tajani told RAI Radio 1 that he used a meeting with his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi in Rome on Thursday to urge Beijing to use all its powers to persuade Russia to end the war while ensuring Ukraine's independence. "He told me that Xi will deliver a peace speech on the anniversary of the invasion of Ukraine," Tajani said.
  • Russia's Grand Strategy and Ukraine - Is Putin's war already a strategic failure?

    02/19/2023 10:21:07 AM PST · by Chode · 66 replies
    After a year of hard fighting there are a rush of observers trying to make sense of the current balance of power in Ukraine. The focus in often on (often small) movements in the frontlines, casualties, or the performance of particular platforms and systems. Those things matter, but wars are not generally fought to take individual trenches or solely to inflict casualties. They are fought for strategic objectives. In this episode I dig into Russia's history of Empire, its modern strategic objectives, and try to assess whether or not the war in Ukraine represents a success or failure by Russia's...

    One would think that after over two years, thousands of hours of video, non-stop media coverage, and dozens of high-profile court cases that nothing new and surprising will be revealed about the January 6 mostly peaceful protests. Yet there are bombshells dropping fairly regularly lately and almost all of them point to the whole thing being a Deep State setup. The latest comes from a thread by Twitter user @FreeStateWill who posted information that as unearthed during a January 6 trial hearing last week. According to the new information, members of the Metropolitan Police Departments were in the January 6...

    SAN ANTONIO – A San Antonio man who said a hospital failed to sedate him during an outpatient procedure last fall went as far as to get an independent drug screening to prove the powerful drugs were not in his system. “When I never had that moment where I either felt loopy or had any time loss, or anything like that, it was clear to me that that had not been done,” said Ian Chase, describing his visit to University Health’s Robert B. Green Campus on Sept. 27.

    [Catholic Caucus] Pope Francis Must Stop the MadnessThe situation of the Catholic Church at present is one of grave disorder, due in large part to the willingness of Pope Francis to say, do, and tolerate things that no pope in history has ever said, done, or tolerated.His recent off-the-cuff remarks instructing priests not to deny absolution to anyone who comes to Confession, for instance. This is in direct contradiction to the teaching of the Church concerning the requisite dispositions required for the valid reception of God’s pardon in the sacrament of penance.Penitents who, for whatever reason, refuse to repent of...

  • New research discovery could shorten ICU stays for children with diabetic ketoacidosis (Plasma beta-hydroxybutyrate (BOHB) <1.5 mmol/L)

    Medical Xpress / Children's Hospital Boston / Pediatric Diabetes ^ | Feb. 17, 2023 | Albert McKeon / Elise Schlissel Tremblay et al
    When a child with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) requires intensive care, clinicians often monitor blood ketone levels to determine whether treatment has successfully reversed the abnormal ketone production. Yet, the utility of blood ketone levels to diagnose DKA or determine whether a child's DKA has resolved have not been rigorously studied. Elise Tremblay, MD shows that a particular value of plasma beta-hydroxybutyrate (BOHB) can signal that DKA has clinically resolved and intensive treatment can stop. Widespread adoption of this defined endpoint could remove some of the uncertainty from monitoring DKA. It could potentially end intensive care at the right time—instead of...
