The BMA’s [British Medical Association’s] new VSED (Voluntary Stop Eating and Drinking) guidance is not a British story. Canada ran this experiment years ago, and we already know how it ends. Every time one of these documents lands, the same thing happens. A medical body publishes something careful and administrative, the language is so smooth you could skate on it, and the people who object are told they’ve misread it. Nobody is being killed. Nobody is being pushed. This is only guidance, only clarification, only doctors being given the information they need to care for their patients well. I have...

Sisters Alicia and Christie Duncan were originally only granted 48 hours notice that their mother was going to be euthanised. It was Sunday, October 24, 2021, when 61-year-old Donna confessed to her family that she had been approved for Canada’s assisted-dying programme, officially known as Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD). Her death was scheduled for the following Tuesday - expedited due to her having qualified for Canada's streamlined 'Track 1' pathway, reserved for individuals whose natural death is reasonably foreseeable. But Donna was not terminally ill, according to her daughters, who insist she was in the midst of a spiralling...

A radical euthanasia activist wants to bring a “death collar” to the UK if it legalizes assisted suicide. Leading pro-life advocates are calling on Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood to block Philip Nitschke, the euthanasia campaigner known as “Dr. Death,” from entering Britain to promote a new suicide collar days before a parliamentary vote on assisted suicide. Nitschke plans to demonstrate the Kairos collar at a public event in London on September 5, six days before the House of Commons votes September 11 on the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill. And he would potentially sell the deadly device if...

Dr. Maalouf ‏ @realMaalouf: Why does nobody ever refer to Muslims as colonizers, oppressors, genociders, slave traders, or imperialists? Sep 6, 2026. https://x.com/realMaalouf/status/2096689646864314568 Dr. Maalouf ‏ @realMaalouf: Arabic is by far the most common language in Africa. Over 200 million people speak it as their first language. And how did Arabic become the most spoken language in Africa? Colonialism and slavery! No one colonized Africa and enslaved more Africans than the Arab Muslims did. Yet, for some reason, we are only taught about European colonialism.

PLYMOUTH, MA — After several days of deliberation, a jury was unable to ultimately decide whether murder is wrong. The deep nuances of the case delayed the decision, with jurors facing intricate legal and moral questions such as whether it's fine to methodically strangle your own kids one by one. "Oof. That was a toughie," said Juror number seven, reviewing the facts of the case. "There was so much to consider, like if luring children down into a basement to murder them is bad. We were really at a loss." According to anonymous sources, the jury had concluded that squeezing...

From Michael Konrad at American Thinker When one thinks of mass murder, Hitler comes to mind. If not Hitler, then Tojo, Stalin, or Mao. Credit is given to the 20th-century totalitarians as the worst species of tyranny to have ever arisen. However, the alarming truth is that Islam has killed more than any of these, and may surpass all of them combined in numbers and cruelty. The enormity of the slaughters of the “religion of peace” are so far beyond comprehension that even honest historians overlook the scale. When one looks beyond our myopic focus, Islam is the greatest killing...

Promoters of assisted suicide always couch their arguments in the language of compassion for those suffering from terminal illness, and 11 US states also permit assisted suicide, all of them except for Montana being dominated by the Democratic Party. This practice always has been couched in the language of “death with dignity,” and it generally has strong support from the political left, although the hard-left socialist publication, Jacobin, recently had an article by Jeremy Appel critical the circumstances under which some Canadians choose suicide, declaring: But the legalization of MAiD has brought to the fore some disturbing moral calculations, particularly...

A huge study out of Germany, released in 2010 but now mostly forgotten, provided a serious point to ponder. After researching 45,000 youths, it found that with increasing religiosity Christian young people became less violent. But Muslim youths became, with increasing religiosity, more violent. My, even a relativist could get the nagging and nauseating feeling that maybe, just perhaps, not all religions are the same, after all. More and more Americans are realizing this, too. And despite the Islamic threat being like Harry Potter’s Lord Voldemort — you’re not supposed to name it — they’re increasingly issuing warnings about it....

It's the Islamic holy month, when it's a terrible insult to Muslims who are praying and fasting to bomb a rogue state that threatens the U.S. and its allies, right? Ilhan Omar said that. Yet as Ramadan draws to a close this year, the jihad death toll worldwide is 499 infidels murdered in 133 jihad attacks. No adherents of any other religion, or even any “right-wing extremists,” committed any terror attacks during this period. Those who are confused as to how all this killing could take place during what is supposed to be a holy month should remember a key...

Under President Trump's visionary leadership, America and Israel are acting together in Iran with great determination and unprecedented strength. Operation Rising Line is designed to remove the existential threats posed by the Ayatollah regime, the regime that has waged war against America and Israel and the people of Iran for 47 years. It chants death to America, death to Israel, and it delivers death to its own people. Our goals are three. One, removing the nuclear threat. Second, removing the ballistic missile threat and removing both of these threats before they're buried deep underground and become immune from aerial attack....

When Emir Balat, accused of taking part in throwing IEDs at a rally against the Islamization of New York City near the mayoral residence, was being led out by an FBI agent, he raised his right finger upwards in what media accounts incorrectly described as an “ISIS salute”. The New York Post called it “a universal salute for ISIS”. But there is no such thing as an ISIS salute. It’s the traditional Islamic salute used during prayers to their deity and, much like “Allahu Akbar” is used by Islamists proclaiming that they represent Allah and are combating infidels. ISIS...

Tuesday, February 03, 2026​ Arab reporter says Palestinians would bring their kids to riots hoping they'd be injured or arrested so they would get paid by the PA​ Palestinian Media Watch has a huge scoop.​ Mustafa Al-Miqdad, a respected Syrian journalist who works with the British think tank Arab Progress Center for Policies, was interviewed on Palestinian TV this week where he publicly admitted something astonishing: that it is well known that Palestinian parents would bring their children to participate in violent demonstrations in the hope that they would be injured or imprisoned by Israeli forces. So they could get...

PIJ knowingly fired faulty rockets in Gaza, killing 'a thousand' Palestinians, document reveals. "We are at war. And even if a thousand people are killed by friendly fire, that is the price of war," PIJ's Akram al-Ajouri reportedly said. Palestinian Islamic Jihad in Gaza knowingly launched defective rockets throughout the course of the Israel-Hamas War, killing 'a thousand' Gazans, KAN Reshet Bet reported on Tuesday, citing a document recovered from the Gaza Strip. The Foreign Ministry later confirmed the authenticity of the document, sharing it on X/Twitter. According to the report, the document, which contains a summary of a Beirut...

Freedom of religion is on the ropes in increasingly authoritarian Canada — despite a specific charter guarantee of “freedom of religion and conscience.” Indeed, an Ontario court ruled previously that doctors can be coerced under threat of professional discipline to perform lethal jabs or abortions against their religious beliefs and conscience objections. Why? The court ruled that the unenumerated right of patients to receive any legal procedure paid for by the government superseded the specific charter protection. If doctors don’t want to kill, the court also ruled, they can either provide an “effective referral” — meaning soliciting a doctor known...

Canada doesn’t lack villains. It lacks accountability. Trust me there are plenty of killers in this country and a significant amount aren’t the terrorist we harbour—its the Dr’s we employ. If you want to understand how this country slid from “medical assistance in dying” to medical abandonment of the vulnerable, you don’t need to look at Parliament first. You need to look at Dr. Ellen Wiebe. Ellen Wiebe is not obscure. She is not misunderstood. She is not a reluctant participant in a tragic system. She is one of the most prominent, outspoken, and ideologically committed MAiD killers in the...

Sergio "El Shaka" Vega, a Mexican musician famous for his songs about drug barons, was murdered Saturday night while driving in his red Cadillac to a concert in Sinaloa state in northwest Mexico. Only hours before the attack, the 40-year-old Mexican singer had publicly denied rumors that he had been murdered, reports the BBC. "It's happened to me for years now, someone tells a radio station or a newspaper I've been killed, or suffered an accident," Mr Vega told entertainment website La Oreja according to the BBC. ...the musician was gunned down by unknown men who were following him while...

JANESVILLE, Wis. -- The mother of the 15-year-old girl, who killed two and injured six at Abundant Life Christian School on Dec. 16, 2024, was found dead on Aug. 1 in an "apparent suicide," the Janesville Police Department confirmed to News 3 Now. Melissa Rupnow, who resided at the 1100 block of Matheson Street in Janesville, was found dead last week in what seemed to have "appeared a suicide," according to a Janesville police lieutenant. The lieutenant who confirmed the act could not elaborate because of an ongoing investigation. According to online court records, Melissa and Jeffrey Rupnow had been...

According to investigative journalist Andy Ngo, she posted a purported "sneak peek" of the manifesto to her Discord account, "@brainedout." In the earlier version, Rupnow allegedly discussed a desire to "exterminate" all males, including infants and the elderly, in a rant apparently inspired by extremist culture among fringe social media circles.

Those who are part of these networks target young teens, trans people, and those who already feel victimized by society. Minneapolis Catholic child killer Robert "Robin" Westman was reportedly linked to online dark extremist groups fixated on nihilism. The dark network of groups are reported to "prey on and exploit young people." Westman killed two children and injured 17 others at the Annunciation Catholic School. Some of the groups are called 764, COM, No Lives Matter, the Order of Nine Angels, and others, and operate in secret on the web where kids can access them and parents are primarily unaware....
