Gates of Vienna News Feed 8/6/2019

Presidential candidate and former Rep. Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke warned President Trump to stay out of El Paso. He said the city needed healing, and not more division. He is calling for a gun control regime in the USA like the one that is presently in place in Australia.

In other gun control news, the gay presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg announced a proposal to ban semi-automatic rifles and all magazines that hold more than ten rounds.

Economist: China Trade War Could Mean “The End of the World as We Know it”

Economist Neil Shearing says that the escalation of America’s trade war with China could be the death knell for globalization and “the end of the world as we know it.”

Yesterday, the U.S. Treasury Department designated China as currency manipulator, the first time that has been done in 25 years.

The People’s Bank of China responded by warning that the decision would “bring turmoil to the financial market.”

“We Are Watching Google Very Closely”: Trump Slams Search Giant for ‘Making Sure He Loses in 2020’

President Trump slammed Google on Tuesday morning in a three-part tweetstorm over allegations by a former engineer that the company will do everything they can to make sure he doesn’t win again in 2020.

Trump explained how CEO Sundar Pichai “was in the Oval Office working very hard to explain how much he liked me, what a great job the Administration is doing, that Google was not involved with China’s military, that they didn’t help Crooked Hillary over me in the 2016 Election, and that they are NOT planning to illegally subvert the 2020 Election despite all that has been said to the contrary.”

“It all sounded good until I watched Kevin Cernekee, a Google engineer, say terrible things about what they did in 2016 and that they want to “Make sure that Trump losses [sic] in 2020,” Trump continued.

On Monday night, Trump tweeted a clip of former Google engineer Kevin Cernekee explaining how the company was distrought after Trump won in 2016 — “Google executives went up on a stage right away and cried — tears literally streaming right down their faces over the fact that President Trump won. They vowed that it would never happen again, and they want to use all the power and all the resources they have to control the flow of information to the public and make sure that Trump loses in 2020.

“This president, who helped create the hatred that made Saturday’s tragedy possible, should not come to El Paso. We do not need more division,” O’Rourke wrote on Twitter. “We need to heal. He has no place here.”

Beto O’Rourke: Australian Gun Control on Table After El Paso, Dayton Shootings

Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke told podcast host Jon Favreau that he supports the idea of making gun licensing and mandatory buybacks part of the conversation revolving around the El Paso and Dayton shootings.

Favreau commented on gun licensing and mandatory buybacks in Australia and asked if O’Rourke would support them as president?

O’Rourke responded, “Yes. And I’m open to them right now as a candidate.”

He continued:

It absolutely has to be part of the conversation. And at the end of the day, if it’s going to save lives, it it’s going to prevent the kinds of tragedies that we saw in El Paso, Gilroy, and Dayton, or this weekend in Chicago or allover this country on a daily basis, then let’s move forward and do it.

O’Rourke did not mention that Illinois requires that gun owners be licensed, yet Chicago gun crime numbers are through the roof weekend after weekend. O’Rourke also left out the fact that California requires all would-be gun owners to secure a firearm safety certificate — much like getting a license — from the state before being allowed to buy a gun. Yet the July 28, 2019, Gilroy Garlic Festival attack; the April 27, 2019, Poway Synagogue attack; the November 7, 2018, Borderline Bar & Grill attack; and so many others occurred without any problem.

Biden Gets Called Out on False Claim About Trump Condemning White Supremacy

Joe Biden just claimed on CNN, that today was the first time he had ever heard President Trump condemn white supremacy. THAT IS FALSE. Here are MULTIPLE examples of President Trump condemning white supremacy, going back to 2016.

Either Biden’s aides are clueless or lazy for not filling him in on this. Also, Biden has been known to pull this political trick in the past. He’ll tell a flat-out lie about something or someone and then get called out on it. He knows that the damage is done by the time he makes a retraction. he’s been at this for 40+ years so he knows all the political tricks in the book. It’s sickening and another reason not to vote for this slick career politician.

Black Mask Wearing Dayton Killer Supported Antifa, Satan, And Democrats

We don’t have a gun problem.we have a godless problem.

Atheist Connor Betts, 24-years old of Bellbrook, Ohio, was identified as the Oregon District shooter in Dayton who injured 27 people and took the lives of nine innocent people, including the life of his own sister in a popular bar and restaurant district of Dayton.

Heavy — Authorities have now named the 9 deceased victims. In addition to Megan Betts, they are Lois Oglesby, black female, 27; Saeed Saleh, 38, black male; Logan Turner, white male, 30; Nicholas P. Cumer, white male, 25; Thomas J. McNichols, black male, 25; Beatrice N. Warren-Curtis, black female, 36; Monica E. Brickhouse, black female, 39; and Derrick R. Fudge, black male, 57. You can read tributes to the victims here.

Like the far-left Antifa thugs, Betts was dressed in all black and wore a mask. According to the police, he was also wearing body armor.

Witnesses said he was wearing all black when he opened fire. Betts was killed by police, with six officers firing at least one round, and officials said the carnage might have been even worse were it not for their quick response.

The left would like you to believe we have a gun problem. The truth is, many of these killers have one thing in common, they are athiests. Betts was a proud atheist.

He wrote on Twitter that he would happily vote for Democrat Elizabeth Warren, praised Satan, was upset about the 2016 presidential election results, and added, “I want socialism, and i’ll not wait for the idiots to finally come round to understanding.”

The police chief said that the deaths would likely have been much higher if the shooter had gotten inside the bar.

After 48 hours of prevaricating, the mainstream media is finally acknowledging that the Dayton mass shooter was a left-wing extremist.

As we previously highlighted, Connor Betts described him self as a “socialist,” praised Antifa and expressed support for Elizabeth Warren amongst many other indications that he was a far-left radical.

After NBC reporter Ben Collins falsely claimed that Betts was “more neutral” with his Twitter posts (despite openly supporting numerous left-wing personalities and news outlets), the truth is finally being admitted.

“A Twitter account that appears to belong to Dayton mass shooter Connor Betts retweeted extreme left-wing and anti-police posts, as well as tweets supporting Antifa, or anti-fascist, protesters,” reported CNN.

CNN Vows to Manipulate the 2020 Election by Not Showing Any of Trump’s Rallies

Propaganda and misinformation outlet CNN has promised The Washington Post that the network will not air any of president Donald Trump’s campaign rallies or speeches live or unedited in an effort to ensure a democrat wins. CNN will decide what you’ ll see from the upcoming campaign rallies.

Jeff Zucker, president of CNN, promised Washington Post that his news media outlet will not air President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign rallies live and unedited in the leadup to 2020’s presidential election, according to a report by Breitbart News. By not airing the speeches unedited, the media giant can manipulate the words of the president in any way they see fit, making this almost worse than censorship.

Democrat 2020 Candidates Demand Google Hire Indian H-1B Outsourcing Workers

Three Democrat 2020 contenders are urging Google to fully hire its army of 120,000 outsourcing workers and temporary hires — plus thousands of Indian graduates who have used work visas to take jobs that would help young Americans jump-start their careers.

“Google has more temporary and contract workers than full-time employees, and that workers in those categories remain in them long-term, even if the work they are doing is permanent and equal to that of directly employed workers. We urge Google to end any abuse of these worker classifications and treat all Google workers equally,” says the anti-outsourcing letter, which was provided to the New York Times.

California Sen. Kamala Harris, Massachusetts Sen. Liz Warren, and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders signed the letter. All three have pushed pro-migration views in the Democrats’ primary debates.

The Democrats’ call to end part-time jobs and the use of subcontracting and outsourcing is likely popular among voters.

But the letter stealthily endorses the industry’s discriminatory policies of subcontracting jobs to foreign graduates who are selected by foreign-run recruiting firms, and of hiring foreign graduates who will accept lower wages than American graduates because they hope to get green cards and citizenship.

El Paso Walmart Shooting Witnesses Saw ‘Three to Four Armed Men Running in, Dressed in All Black, Shooting’

Twenty people were killed at a Walmart in El Paso Texas on Saturday reportedly by the hands of a single suspected gunman who was identified by various news sources as Patrick Crusius, 21, of Allen, Texas. However, information received by Intellihub may tell a different story.

Remarkably, several eyewitnesses to the shooting, a mother and her daughter, were captured on video recounting how three men dressed in all black entered through the front doors of the store as the shooting started.

“That’s when my mom is like ‘no it is actually shooting’ and she saw three men went in and they were all dressed in black,” a young girl named Britney explained. “That’s when my mom said ‘drop down, go down to the floor.’“

Britney admits that neither she nor her mom actually saw anyone shot or wounded but said the three men were, in fact, holding guns and acknowledged the men were shooting.

Blowback against the New York Times over a headline about President Trump’s response to recent mass shootings is a frightening precedent, according to Mollie Hemingway.

Here’s What a Criminology Professor Learned by Studying Every Mass Shooting Since 1966

Last weekend’s mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton (following the devastation in Gilroy the weekend before) prompted the usual evidence-free avalanche of political point-scoring, blaming “the other side” for all the world’s woes.

Babylon Bee’s satirical take summed things up perfectly:

An exhaustive new study from the CDC reveals that the leading cause of gun violence in America is your political opponents. Researchers looked at a number of potential causes of gun violence such as mental health, family situation, cultural shifts, gun laws, rap music, videogames, sugar consumption, and the actual gunman, but by and large, the most prominent cause of gun violence was what most already suspected. The fault lies with those who you disagree with politically.

Kellyanne Conway Challenges 2020 Democrats: ‘This Cr*p Has to Stop’

White House Counselor Kellyanne Conway challenged 2020 presidential candidates for accusing President Donald Trump of being responsible for the weekend mass shootings in Texas and Ohio.

“This cr*p has to stop,” she told reporters at the White House on Tuesday in the driveway.

Conway noted the number of Democrat presidential candidates “screaming on TV” and blaming the president for the attacks, while the president called for unity and bi-partisan solutions to stop mass shootings.

“None of that’s going to be solved by them raising havoc or raising their profiles on TV just because they’re mired at zero percent or tied with the margin of error in the polls,” she said, needling low-level presidential candidates.

Conway condemned the 2020 presidential candidates for “trying to spin gold and votes out of this tragedy,” specifically calling out Sen. Elizabeth Warren for fundraising off of the shootings on behalf of Democrats Sen. Tina Smith in Minnesota and Sen. Doug Jones in Alabama.

“I was really hopping mad, frankly,” she said, referring to the Warren fundraising.

Police: Former Haverford College Student Threatened to ‘Shoot Up’ Campus

A former student at Haverford College has been charged with making terroristic threats after he threatened to kill his family and “shoot up” Haverford’s campus.

According to a local news report, 20-year-old Frank Wang has been charged with making terroristic threats after he admitted that he planned to both kill his family and “shoot up” Haverford College’s campus in Haverford, Pennsylvania.

The report claims that Wang told an unidentified person of his violent plans, which ultimately led to his arrest. Wang, who is no longer a student at Haverford College, is currently being held at a county prison. Police obtained a search warrant for Wang’s home. During an investigation, authorities did not find guns or weapons but collected Wang’s computer equipment which will be searched by state officials.

Delaware County District Attorney Katayoung Copeland said in a press release that Wang will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law for the threats that he made against Haverford College.

Reza Aslan Calls for “Eradication” of Kellyanne Conway and All Trump Supporters

Twitter says his rhetoric doesn’t violate their rules.

Reza Aslan refused to apologize after calling for the “eradication” of Kellyanne Conway and Trump Supporters, with Twitter saying his rhetoric didn’t violate their rules.

Following the mass shooting in El Paso, Aslan, a former CNN host, tweeted, “After today there is no longer any room for nuance. The President is a white nationalist terror leader. His supporters — ALL OF THEM — are by definition white nationalist terror supporters. The MAGA hat is a KKK hood. And this evil, racist scourge must be eradicated from society.”

He followed it up by later using the same language against Kellyanne Conway, tweeting, “You are “the depraved evil” we need to eradicate.”

What’s particularly disturbing about the first tweet is that if you replaced Trump supporters with hispanics as the target, it could have been lifted straight from the shooter’s manifesto.

Aslan’s incendiary rhetoric is only going to fuel more extremism and tit for tat violence that will radicalize people like the Dayton, Ohio mass shooter who was a fringe left-wing radical.

An exhaustive study which collected data from every mass shooting in America since 1966 found that the news media’s fascination with mass shooters is creating more mass shooters.

In the aftermath of tragic events like this past weekend’s two massacres, some commentators have called for the killers to be starved of the ghastly fame they crave and for the media not to reveal their names or identities.

The validity of that position has been bolstered by new research conducted by Jillian Peters and James Densley which was funded by the U.S. Department of Justice.

Trump Demands Gun Control, Executions for ‘Hate Crimes, ‘ Asks DOJ & Social Media to Detect Pre-Crime

This speech could have been delivered by Hillary Clinton

President Donald Trump on Monday demanded anti-Second Amendment “red flag” gun seizure laws, swift executions for so-called “hate crimes,” “involuntary confinement” for people the state deems “mentally disturbed,” and directed the DOJ to work with states, local law enforcement and social media sites to “detect mass shooters before they strike” — all while repeating generic leftist slogans about “hate.”

Even though the shooter in Ohio was a leftist antifa-supporting lunatic and Trump could have used that as a reason not to move against Americans’ rights, he chose not to reveal that to the public and only focused on the El Paso shooters’ alleged manifesto, which he said was “consumed by racist hate.”

“In one voice, our nation must condemn racism, bigotry, and white supremacy,” Trump said. “These sinister ideologies must be defeated. Hate has no place in America. Hatred warps the mind, ravages the heart, and devours the soul. We have asked the FBI to identify all further resources they need to investigate and disrupt hate crimes and domestic terrorism — whatever they need.”

He only described the Ohio shooter as a “twisted monster” before launching into his assault on the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, the Fifth Amendment and the internet itself.

Video: El Paso Mayor Refuses to Attack Trump: “I’m Not a Talking Head.”

CNN’s Jake Tapper tried to drag the El Paso Mayor into a Trump-bashing interview, but Mayor Dee Margo refused to do it.

Tapper was doing what the rest of the mainstream media has been doing since the 2016 election. The main goal of CNN, MSNBC, and other leftist media is to destroy President Trump every chance they get. The nitpicking never stops, and the namecalling is relentless.

What’s so ironic is that every time the media behaves this way, it exposes them for the biased and hateful political hacks they really are.

Tapper asked: “Former Congressman from El Paso, Beto O’Rourke, told me earlier in the show that, in his view, the president’s anti-immigrant rhetoric is making things worse and creating an atmosphere of violence. Do you agree? Do you have any concerns about the things President Trump says about immigrants?”

The El Paso Mayor responded: “Jake, I’m not qualified to make a comment on that. I’m not a talking head. I’m focusing on the El Pasoans and the 20 deaths, their families and what it means to this community and how we can come together and not be victimized by this.”

Bravo to Mayor Dee Margo for not taking the bait that Tapper put out.

Ezra Levant: Rebel Gets White House Media Credentials Again — But Still Banned From Parliamentary Press Gallery

As we gear up to cover the U.S. Presidential elections again, I thought I’d better get ready to report on it first hand. And what better place to be than the White House in Washington, DC.

Two other Rebels have received White House press credentials before. Mine came through pretty easily.

It’s been the same around the world, where Rebel journalists have reported in European parliaments, and been welcomed in Israel’s Knesset.

However, there is one place we are not welcomed as peers:

Toronto Has No Time to Waste Amid ‘Epidemic’ of Ransomware Attacks

A wee-hours alert of unusual traffic on Midland’s email server last Labour Day weekend launched a cyber nightmare.

A town IT staffer confirmed a hacker was holding Midland’s municipal computer system hostage, demanding ransom in exchange for an electronic key to unlock the data.

“We shut down all of our systems to ensure there was no further spread of it but, by that point, the hackers had pretty much encrypted everything,” Randy Fee, Midland’s communications and marketing co-ordinator, recalled in an interview from the Georgian Bay town, adding that even backup files were encrypted.

City staff had to dig out paper to process permit payments. Original blueprints and maps had to be pulled from storage. It took weeks to recover computer systems.

UK: Climate Activists From Extinction Rebellion to Disrupt London Fashion Week

Climate change protestors are planning to “shut down” London Fashion Week (LFW) in a bid to raise awareness of the environmental damage caused by the fashion industry.

During the five-day event, which will take place in September and see some of the biggest names in British fashion showcase their latest collections, activism group Extinction Rebellion will assemble in large crowds to thwart stylish editors, models and buyers from attending runway shows.

The environmental activists, who brought major streets to a standstill in five UK cities earlier this month, have demanded that the British Fashion Council (BFC), which hosts the spectacle, cancel the event that is due to start on 13 September.

UK: Schoolgirls Asked to Don Islamic Headscarf for ‘Hijab Day’ In November

“How about the Muslim girls try NOT wearing a hijab for a day and see how nice life is in a free society where women are equal with men and don’t need to cover themselves to get respect?”

Non-Muslim schoolgirls in Lincolnshire, England, are being asked to don the Islamic hijab headscarf for a day in November.

Ghada Mohamed of the Lincoln Muslim Sisters Forum is organising the event, which she hopes will be taken up by high schools all around the country, to increase non-Muslim girls “knowledge” of the religious garments and decrease alleged incidents of abuse against hijabi girls.

The BBC reported that one Muslim girl told them that “the hijab was part of her identity, but wearing it sometimes made her feel like she was not part of the community”, and that she supported Mrs Mohamamed’s initiative.

The idea that Muslim girls might try not wearing the hijab to feel more like “part of the community” was not raised in the BBC report, although it was broached on social media by talkRadio host Julia Hartley-Brewer.

UK: Teenager Charged for Attempted Murder After Six-Year-Old Boy Thrown From 10th Floor of Tate

A teenager has been charged with attempted murder after a six-year-old boy was allegedly thrown from a viewing platform at the Tate Modern art gallery.

The 17-year-old is due to appear at Bromley Youth Court on Tuesday accused of trying to kill the child, who is a French national visiting London with his family.

The youngster was airlifted to hospital after he was found on a fifth-floor roof at the gallery on Sunday afternoon.

He is in a stable but critical condition.

The boy had plummeted five storeys after allegedly being thrown from the 10th-floor viewing platform.

Scotland Yard has said there is no link between the suspect and the victim…

Detectives said they had not been able to establish a motive for the “truly shocking” incident, but eyewitnesses at the scene, claimed the suspect had shouted that social services were to blame for his actions.

The embarrassment to Britain at their only warship in the region having been too far away to prevent the “act of state piracy” when Iran captured the Stena Impero oil tanker was compounded when, last month, it was revealed the United States had already offered naval support.

Kashmir on Lockdown: India Strips Muslim-Majority Region of Autonomy, Troops Move in

The unprecedented move signals India is willing to take greater military action in the disputed border region

In a dramatic escalation following a worsening crisis, which over the weekend saw intensive shelling along the Line of Control (LoC) that separates Indian-controlled and Pakistani-controlled parts of Kashmir, New Delhi has revoked the key constitutional article which gives Indian-administered Kashmir special status.

The unprecedented move signals India is willing to take greater military action in the disputed border region, which is virtually guaranteed to not only spark severe local unrest, but put India and Pakistan on a direct collision course for war. Specifically, Article 370 is legally and historically what assured a high degree autonomy for Indian administered Muslim-majority state, enshrined in the constitution, which the majority of inhabitants there see as justifying remaining part of India.

The Indian administered side of Kashmir, called Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), was granted its status in the 1950s, which included maintaining its own state constitution, as well as law making bodies, making it the most independent of all Indian states. But starting Monday this will all be revoked, following a resolution introduced on Monday by Home Minister Amit Shah and quickly put into law by President Ram Nath Kovind.

China Just Went Nuclear in the Trade War, And There is No Turning Back Now

It looks like this trade war could be the spark that plunges the global economy into utter chaos

When will Americans start to wake up and realize what is happening?

At the end of last week, President Trump announced that the U.S. would be imposing a 10 percent tariff on 300 billion dollars worth of Chinese imports, and that marked a dramatic escalation in our trade war with China. This move by Trump came as a total shock to Chinese officials, and global financial markets were thrown into a state of turmoil. Since that announcement, we have been waiting for the other shoe to drop, because we knew that the Chinese would retaliate. But honestly, very few of the experts expected something like this. On Monday, China announced that it is going to completely stop buying U.S. agricultural products.

This is essentially a trade war equivalent of a nuclear bomb.

If the Chinese would have slapped U.S. agricultural products with tariffs, that would have been a proportional response. But to quit buying them entirely is an unprecedented escalation in a trade war that is really starting to spiral out of control.

And it is also clearly a political attack on President Trump. The Chinese know that Trump is highly popular in rural areas, and this ban on U.S. agricultural products is going to severely hurt farmers in rural areas all across the United States.

Snyder: China is Extremely Angry, And Now Considers the United States to be Enemy #1

Have relations between the United States and China finally reached the point of no return? At this moment, it would be difficult to overstate how angry the Chinese are with the United States.

Chinese officials are firmly blaming the United States for the enormous political protests that we have witnessed in Hong Kong in recent weeks, and on Thursday President Trump slapped another round of tariffs on Chinese imports. Sadly, most Americans aren’t even paying much attention to these developments, but over in China everyone is talking about these things. And of course the truth is that they aren’t just talking — the Chinese are absolutely seething with anger toward the U.S., and they aren’t afraid to express it.

What Are the Consequences of Being Named a Currency Manipulator?

As everyone knows by now, after the market closed on Monday, the US Treasury unexpectedly named China a currency manipulator, which naturally will be viewed as an escalation of the trade war and exacerbate the market sell-off, even if the PBOC briefly limited the selloff overnight by fixing the yuan slightly higher than expected (don’t expect this calm to last).

While symbolically significant given that this designation was last used 25 years ago, in and of itself this act is unlikely to result in actions on the scale of recent tariffs or other US sanctions.

So what does it mean to be a named a manipulator?

The El Paso and Christchurch Shootings: The Ecofascist Connection

On March 15, 2019, 28-year-old Brenton Tarrant attacked a mosque and Islamic centre in Christchurch, New Zealand with a semi-automatic rifle; killing 51 and injuring 50.

On August 3, 2019, 21-year-old Patrick Crusius attacked a WalMart crowded with Latino shoppers in El Paso, Texas with a semi-automatic rifle; killing 22, injuring 24.

Both men posted manifestos.

In three places in his 87-page The Great Replacement Tarrant self-defines as ecofascist; to wit:

“I mostly agree with Sir Oswald Mosely and consider myself Eco-fascist.”

The manifesto bandies eco-cliche’s:

“Rampant urbanization and industrialization, ever expanding cities and shrinking forests, a complete removal of man from nature, with obvious results.”

A section titled: “Green nationalism is the only true nationalism” concludes: “There is no traditionalism without environmentalism.” Another section argues for protective tariffs around “environmentally conscious” societies. An overarching concern is:

“The environment is being destroyed by overpopulation.”

Tarrant’s conclusion:

“Kill the invaders. Kill overpopulation and by doing so save the environment.”

Following the unprovoked assault, passengers on the tram were forced to restrain the aggressive migrant woman until police could arrive to arrest and take her to jail.

PAC Rebukes Trump’s Call to Pass Amnesty for Illegals in Response to Mass Murders

Americans for Legal Immigration PAC is rebuking President Trump’s call for Congress to work in a bipartisan fashion to restrict American gun rights and pass immigration reform Amnesty for millions of illegal aliens in response to recent shootings.

“We cannot let those killed in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, die in vain. Likewise for those so seriously wounded. We can never forget them, and those many who came before them. Republicans and Democrats must come together and get strong background checks, perhaps marrying….this legislation with desperately needed immigration reform. We must have something good, if not GREAT, come out of these two tragic events!”

The term “immigration reform” has referred to Amnesty legislation in DC that has been defeated by groups like ALIPAC and the American public ten times since 2004. The term “immigration reform” and Amnesty are politically synonymous.

“President Trump’s true globalist and Democrat colors are really showing today as he simultaneously advocates curtailing our Second Amendment gun rights and giving Amnesty to illegal immigrants in the same Twitter breath,” said William Gheen, President of ALIPAC. “Shame on Trump for trying to use these violent tragedies to push the globalist immigration reform Amnesty agenda he promised to oppose during his 2016 campaign.”

Jessica Yaniv Brandishes Illegal “Taser, “ Threatens Reporter With Pepper Spray

Today’s video from me might be a hate crime. Today’s video also might result in me being kicked off my social media accounts.

It could also result in me being pepper-sprayed for insulting vexatious transgender human rights litigant and chronic esthetician persecutor Jessica Yaniv, if he doesn’t get arrested for possessing a prohibited weapon first.

Last night’s right-leaning transgender pundit Blaire White hosted a live stream debate with Yaniv, who has gained international attention for his contention that is a violation of his rights not to receive testicular waxing services from the 16 British Columbia estheticians he’s dragged before that province’s human rights tribunal.

The debate was really no debate at all, despite White’s best efforts. Think Cathy Newman versus Jordan Peterson, with more lip gloss and less patience from the host.

In the middle of the debate, Yaniv brandishes what appears to be a stun gun, a prohibited weapon Yaniv then goes on to acknowledge he knows is illegal here in Canada. This bizarre spectacle comes just a week after Yaniv threatened a journalist with Press for Truth, Dan Dicks, with another prohibited weapon, pepper spray, after being confronted while going into an elevator at the end of a tribunal hearing.

  1. There is some ado these days about the spectre of a possible war between India and Pakistan. From the article below one could take home that India might not have much to fear in terms of military action because the Pakis won’t be able to pay for a second round of bullets. That is, unless someone else steps in for them. Or they go all desperate and choose the nuclear bomb. Terrorism, on the other hand, is what’s going to rise any which way. Because carnage among unprepared non-combatants is all these lowlifes are really capable of carrying out.
