On either September 12 or (as we’re going with here) the early hours of September 13* in 1944, 30-year-old French spy Noor Inayat Khan (also known as Nora Baker, or by her code name Madeleine) was executed at Dachau for her activities on the behalf of the Resistance in Nazi-occupied France. Noor, the first woman radio operator to be sent into France, came from a rather unusual background: her father was a Sufi religious leader descended from Indian royalty, and her mother an American from New Mexico. Born in Russia, raised in England and France, Noor studied psychology and wrote...

If they take away our cars, they won't like what comes next. "Let's roll" were the last recorded words from the passengers on Flight 93 on 9/11. "Let's roll" means the die is cast, and our last actions should count for something. With 9/11 just around the corner and with a president breaking tradition and not putting aside his typical daily responsibilities to give the moment the respect and importance that it deserves, this is our moment to evaluate what appears to be our coming fate. In Europe, the beginning of the end of private ownership of cars has begun....

A couple of months ago I noticed a transgender (young man taking on female appearance) overseeing a group of young children at the local YMCA. I wrote a letter to the CEO of that location, yes that's his title. I offer it up here as a example of just one of the many ways we can fight back and defend our children. I also ask for ideas from you for how we can actively resist and change hearts. My letter is below.

The advancement of LGBT ideology is suffering a major setback in Africa. About 32 African countries have already criminalized homosexuality, lesbianism, same-sex marriage and transgenderism. Every effort to introduce these practices has been vehemently opposed by the people of Africa, and laws are coming up to ensure that these are not practiced at all. Nigeria criminalized homosexuality in 2014 with penalties of up to 14 years in prison.Recently, Uganda passed the anti-LGBT bill into law, and members of the Parliament have vowed to resist outside pressure. Despite wide condemnation from Western countries, the European Union and United Nations, the Ugandan...

A @NYTimes essay by @TareqBaconi justifies, and ultimately cheers, murdering Israeli civilians How many ways can one minimize and then legitimize terror attacks against Jews? Tareq Baconi, former senior analyst for Israel/Palestine at the International Crisis Group and the author of “Hamas Contained” who is now president of the board of al-Shabaka, the Palestinian Policy Network, displays a lot of them in New York Times guest essay. Purportedly an analysis of Jenin, he breaks new ground in first obfuscating, and ultimately justifying, Palestinian attacks on civilians .. Latest virus in israelophobia is the term: "resistance". The Pallywoody whitewashing of raw...

Several Italian producers have been perfecting cricket pasta, pizza and snacks. At a restaurant near Turin, chef Simone Loddo has adapted his fresh pasta recipe, which dates back nearly 1,000 years - the dough is now 15% cricket powder. It emanates a strong, nutty smell. While insect farming is increasing in Europe, so too is hostility towards the idea. Amid concerns that insects might be associated with Italian cuisine, three government ministers announced four decrees aimed at a crackdown. "It's fundamental that these flours are not confused with food made in Italy," Until now, the possibilities for producing and commercialising...

The left-wing Lincoln Project’s ability to pad its wallet with liberal cash while sustaining repeated defeats in attempting to oust conservatives has apparently spawned an imitator. The New York Times reported that a new political super PAC called Mission Democracy would raise money to toss conservative stars out of Congress...

Nothing will more effectively halt DemocratsÂ’ efforts at pushing our country into full-scale civil conflict than shining a bright light on their objectives for all to see. Democrats have been masters at messaging for decades. They focus on a single idea, they and their corrupt allies in the media magnify and propagate the idea, and then they all repeat it endlessly until it is accepted as fact. The idea Democrats are pushing today is that before voting has even begun, the 2020 presidential election is illegitimate.Why are Democrats working to undermine the election, rather than working to win it? On...

In my previous column, I discussed Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s border invasion declaration, which he actually issued in July but has been publicizing recently. Gov. Abbott even wrote a letter to Biden openly explaining what he is doing. Abbott is in a difficult situation and deserves credit for doing more than any other governor on this issue. However, the border invasion is an enormous problem. Drastic times call for drastic measures.

A COMING WORLDWIDE CIVIL WAR? Between 1861 and 1865, this country fought a bloody largely REGIONAL WAR in which an estimated 1.5 million were injured and 700,000 died. (A “civil war” is one having no limits on violence and geography.) The ostensible cause of that war was slavery. How is “slavery” defined? “Slavery: A condition in which one human being was owned by another. A slave was considered by law as property, or chattel, and was deprived of most of the rights ordinarily held by free persons. There is no consensus on what a slave was or on how the...

Everyone knows the woes now affecting the United States, brought to you by the far left. To name them here would run this article far longer than you would want to read. So let’s cut to the chase.

Ukrayinska Pravda Wed, May 18, 2022, 9:17 AM DENYS KARLOVSKYI In captured Melitopol, the Ukrainian resistance movement has managed to blow up a Russian armoured train as it was transporting soldiers and equipment. Source: local media; Mirror of the Week, quoting the Defence Headquarters of the Zaporizhzhia region Details: Eyewitnesses in Melitopol reported hearing explosions and gunfire in the area of the meat-packing plant. Local journalists later confirmed that Ukrainian guerrillas had remotely detonated an armoured train near the meat-packing plant in Melitopol. The train consisted of 10 cars. The explosion was carried out under a car carrying personnel from...

Afghanistan’s National Resistance Front, an opposition group, is claiming this evening to be on the verge of victories over the Taliban in several districts in the country’s Northeastern provinces. The NRF, which describes itself as “the last force fighting for the restoration of democracy in Afghanistan,” expressed hopes that these victories were the first steps in an effort to liberate the country from Taliban rule. It noted, though, that it was working without foreign aid that could bolster its efforts. Security analysts, meanwhile, expressed skepticism over whether the NRF could topple the new regime in Kabul, though noting the Taliban...

1. “We believe the Russians are deliberately regrouping themselves and reassessing the progress that they have not made and how to make up the lost time." ... 2. “We believe they have experienced logistic and sustainment challenges. Challenges that we don’t believe they fully anticipated.” They may be running short on fuel, with supply tankers unable to get to them, and the soldiers are facing shortages of food .... Observers suggest routine maintenance has either not been performed or, in the case of many blown-out tires, cheaper Chinese-made tires have been substituted that lose structural integrity if the trucks were...

The warnings began early on the morning of February 25th. Russian special forces were in Kyiv, the authorities said, and they were trying to seize power. Some of the visitors might even have acquired Ukrainian military vehicles; others could be pretending to be international observers. In Podil, a historic neighbourhood in the centre of the city, where the sound of church bells was periodically interrupted by explosions and gunfire, Ukrainian forces opened fire on two military vehicles believed to be Russian. Whether they were the enemy or not is debatable. The bullet-pierced windows and the pools of blood were not....

If the despicable tyrant Fidel Trudeau orders his government thugs to assault and abuse the rights of the protesters all Canadians should start a general strike and shut the entire country down. The fist order of business should be to call in sick for coup-flu and stop all shipping except for food, medicines, and enough fuel for emergency services. If Canadians back down we may be slaves until our grandchildren shoot their way out of communist tyranny.

Political prisoner Jake Lang is serving time in Washington DC for his actions on Jan. 6. He has been imprisoned with no rights for over a year now. Islamic terrorists who murdered Americans have more rights than Jake Lang. The DC elites and corrupt fake news media agree with this. Jake Lang was trampled when Capitol Police pushed Trump supporters down the stairs outside the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. Jake was buried under several people when the Capitol police started pushing protesters down the stairs. He was next to Rosanne Boyland who was killed by police when they...

The underlying truths of the grossly mismanaged globally coordinated response to the COVID-19 outbreak are becoming increasingly apparent to common citizens throughout the world. The United States Health and Human Services (HHS) system, once considered the world standard for medical research and for insuring purity, safety and effectiveness of drugs and vaccines, is now being seen by many as corrupt and compromised. Over the next year, additional data documenting and supporting this corruption will continue to emerge. The growing tide of whistleblowers, truth tellers and their lawyers will swell to the point that it will overwhelm the censorship and propaganda...

Americans are increasingly done with mandates in the name of fighting COVID. After almost two years, most have gone back to their pre-pandemic lives and just won’t obey orders from the hysteria echo chamber. Consider Gov. Kathy Hochul’s recent mask-or-vax mandate. More than 30 New York County executives have publicly refused to enforce it, using terms like “Gestapo tactics” and “mask police.” And not just Republican execs: The Democrats in charge of Nassau and Suffolk counties balked, too. ... It’s time for the nation’s leaders to fall back to simply offering advice in most cases: Issuing orders that won’t be...

This week, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul announced a new statewide mask mandate that will take effect on Monday, Dec. 13, citing a rise in case numbers. The mandate requires face masks to be worn in all indoor public places that don’t have a vaccine requirement. “A violation of any provision of this measure is subject to a maximum fine of $1,000 for each violation,” Hochul said in a statement. She also added that “local health departments are being asked to enforce these requirements.” But local governments were essentially blindsided by the announcement, and several counties with Republican executives are...
