The former head of Russia's biological weapons program and the man considered to be the foremost expert in the field of bioweapons told NewsMax he has "strong suspicions" that Cuba is developing deadly pathogens. Questions about Cuba's biological development program were defined recently by three separate charges. First, an undersecretary of state announced, "The U.S believes that Cuba has at least a limited offensive biological warfare research and development effort." Second, a spokesman for dictator Fidel Castro dismissed the slur as "loathsome." And finally, former President Jimmy Carter chimed in that the U.S. had no hard evidence that Cuba is...

They were all revved up and had nowhere to go. The Toronto trucker convoy never made it to the Ontario Legislature on Saturday — it was stalled and stopped at Bloor St. W. and Avenue Rd. by a Toronto Police roadblock beside the Royal Ontario Museum. It was a sea of Canadian flags with convoy supporters atop dump trucks that came down Avenue Rd. along with 18-wheelers and a cacophony of blaring horns. To the west as far as the eye could see, pickup trucks and cars of supporters that arrived around noon were lined up across all the lanes...

Consider this from the UK Daily Mail: A Canadian school has cancelled an event with ISIS survivor Nadia Murad, saying her visit would be offensive to Muslims and foster 'Islamophobia'. Murad was scheduled to sit down with students from the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) -...
