On April 18 literally 3 days after my X account was unsuspended, the anonymous account @MyLordBebo dropped a thread accusing me of running some made up “Russian disinformation operation” called “Storm.” He threw in screenshots that look manipulated, then immediately pivoted to dredging up my old 2016 conviction (the charges were political as I held a leadership position within the Liberal party of Canada trying to change the trajectory to an anti war, anti globalist policy platform) and calling me a “pedo.” Within mere minutes the post was being amplified by NAFO accounts and what looks like NATO aligned cyber force bots pushing the standard Western intelligence narrative. Bebo would double down using Western Intel agency NAFO talking points himself. Let’s be clear: I’m Irish Canadian with dual citizenship. I’m not Russian. I’ve never been part of any foreign operation. I’m anti war and pro.sanity, full stop. I empathize with Russia’s legitimate security concerns about NATO expansion and the 2014 Maidan coup because I’ve followed the facts, not the corporate client media script. That’s it. Here’s what actually happened back in 2016, because the same smear machine that’s hitting me today tried to bury me then. started in politics at a young age while in university in Ottawa. In 2002 I volunteered for Nancy Karetak-Lindell (eventually taking on a full time position), the MP for Nunavut, I was often at Prime Minister Paul Martin’s office from 2004-05. From 2007 to 2013 I lobbied for the Canadian credit union system, pushing to keep them competitive against the big banks. In 2014 I moved into a senior executive role at Stevenson Memorial Hospital in Alliston, Ontario — corporate communications and community engagement. My name and cell number were on every press release because we were fighting for a $200 million hospital redevelopment that needed real government support. By 2014-16 I was openly posting on social media against the West’s illegal war in Ukraine and the Maidan coup. Local people who shared those views, including a former mayor, asked me to help take over the Simcoe–Grey Federal Liberal Riding Association. We did exactly that at the 2016 AGM. I became Vice Chair and we started building a slate of anti-globalist, anti-war candidates. I was also planning to run for municipal council. That’s when the threats started. Anonymous phone calls telling me to drop out of the Liberal executive and forget about running locally. Then the adopted daughter of the head of the local Spry Freemason Lodge in the Alliston area contacted me. She said she was a 22 year old nursing student looking for a volunteer spot at the hospital. I directed her to HR. She kept messaging on Facebook, turned flirtatious, I blocked her. She made new accounts. By summer she was demanding $10,000 or she’d go to the OPP and claim I was "luring" her. In November 2016 the OPP showed up. Officers waited outside my house until I left for work, then went in and questioned my wife and our two young daughters in a threatening way. My wife asked to see proof — they refused. I was arrested at the hospital right in front of my colleagues. During interrogation I asked to see the alleged screenshots — again, nothing was shown. That was the first time I heard the claim she was 17, not 22 as she had presented herself the whole time. The Liberal Party kicked me off the executive within days, without due process or a conviction. You can watch the video of it here: youtu.be/g_UHNOjTZZ8 The case dragged on for two years. My career was wrecked, I burned through about $200,000 in legal fees, and my family was under massive stress. Discovery showed the young woman had a pattern of contacting powerful men and then trying to extort them with police threats. The adopted father admitted in court he’d been watching my house and could describe my wife and daughters in detail. He was also friends with the guy I was running against. Continued below👇

🚨Sergey Karaganov: Nuclear Strike on Europe to Restore Deterrence ‼️Germany would suffer first. The prime target would be not only in Romania or Poland, God forbid, it will be in Germany. And they should understand that because they have unleashed two world wars in one generation. (I differ when I look at history and recent history it would sadly be the UK first due to MI6 acting on the British establishment orders and taking the lead with Russophobic hysteria. This isn't the British people but their governing elite that have done this sadly.)

🇨🇳 Ministry of Foreign Affairs of People's Republic of China: — "The US has 336 labs in 30 countries under its control, including 26 in Ukraine alone. It should give a full account of its biological military activities at home and abroad and subject itself to multilateral verification."

🚨Russian Defense Ministry is investigating 240 disease causing pathogens discovered in US-sponsored biolabs in Ukraine including anthrax and cholera amongst others… Pathogens are studied and developed with intent of use for "offensive actions."

‼️Emmanuel Todd: The Russians will NEVER ATTACK us. The REALITY is that we HAVE a SICK West We Westerners, we're supporting a war. Actually, we, the reality is that we have a sick West, extremely violent, dealing very badly with its decline, global, in terms of economic power, and behaving in a very dangerous way. Well, yes, let's start the process of Ukraine's accession to the European Union. All right? Supposedly, that's meant to take some time. There was a time when the Russians would have accepted that. Not now. Because now, for them, the Europeans, the Americans, the European Union, NATO, all that, it's the same thing. So proposing that Ukraine join Europe—the European Union, it's condemning it to certain death. I mean, it's marking it as a target even more for the Russians. I mean, it's a level of cynicism or thoughtlessness, a cruelty that truly defies imagination. It's going to backfire on us because, as for me, I think that if .... it's a very curious situation because we don't have the means to go and in the war. And the Russians will never attack us.

The Crusades Same battles, same dates, different stories History is usually written by the victors, but the Crusades were a two-century collision that produced not one, but two irreconcilable realities Dates and battles identical, but the moral axis is entirely flipped. On Substack at ashesofpompeii.substack.com/… In the traditional Western narrative, the Crusades are framed as a heroic, if tragic, epic. The First Crusade is a pious pilgrimage; the knights are romanticized figures of chivalry in shining armor, bravely holding the line in a hostile, exotic land. The eventual loss of the Holy Land is mourned as the “fall of Outremer,” a tragic retreat of European civilization. In this telling, the East is often reduced to a passive backdrop, its inhabitants viewed through a lens of mystique or backwardness, mere obstacles to a divine mandate. But cross the Mediterranean, and the exact same timeline reads like a chronicle of foreign invasion and eventual, hard-won restoration against the barbarous northerners. The dates do not change, but the adjectives do. Here is the history as it is remembered in the Levant: When the Frankish armies breached Jerusalem in 1099, they imposed a martial culture utterly alien to the region. Accustomed to northern forests, the crusaders relied on heavy wool, salted provisions, and isolated stone keeps. To the local Muslim inhabitants, this was a stark contrast to a society built around sun-washed courtyards, communal public baths, and markets vibrant with fresh flatbreads, olives, and citrus. The invaders carved out the fragile states of Outremer, but beneath their rule, the region’s sophisticated urban rhythms, complete with organized hospitals and regulated water systems, quietly endured. For much of the twelfth century, an uneasy coexistence defined the borderlands. The crusader hold was always tenuous, a reality first exposed in 1144 when Imad ad-Din Zengi reclaimed the County of Edessa, shattering the myth of Frankish invincibility. In the decades that followed, daily life became a complex tapestry of friction and exchange. Frankish knights governed from damp, drafty fortresses, yet they increasingly depended on local markets for sugar, glass, and silk. Truces allowed merchants to cross lines, but the cultural divide remained visible: while the crusader elite often struggled with Levantine heat and basic sanitation, local communities maintained their traditions of regular ablutions, scholarly study in madrasas, and shared, herb-rich meals. The political tide turned decisively in 1187. At the Horns of Hattin, the fragmented crusader armies were outmaneuvered, leading to Salah ad-Din’s recapture of Jerusalem. For the local population, this was not merely a military victory, but a restoration of civic order. Mosques and “bimaristans” (hospitals) reopened, and the region’s administrative heartbeat resumed. Though the Third Crusade saw Richard the Lionheart besiege Acre, he could not retake the holy city. The ensuing century of negotiated truces only highlighted the resilience of local society, which continued to thrive on its established foundations of public hygiene and civic welfare. By the mid-thirteenth century, the crusader presence was a relic waiting to be cleared. After the newly established Mamluk dynasty halted the Mongol advance at Ain Jalut in 1260, securing the region’s eastern flank, they turned their disciplined, centralized power toward the coastline. Sultan Baybars initiated a systematic dismantling of the crusader strongholds. Antioch fell in 1268, and the formidable fortress of Krak des Chevaliers surrendered in 1271. The contrast was laid bare: as crusader outposts decayed into isolated, supply-starved enclaves, Mamluk cities flourished, repairing irrigation canals and expanding vibrant, clean urban centers. The end came methodically. In 1291, Mamluk forces besieged and captured Acre, the last major crusader capital, driving the remaining defenders into the sea. A final, tiny garrison clinging to the island of Arwad was swept away by the Mamluk navy in 1302, erasing the last physical foothold of the crusades. The crusaders left behind crumbling, hollow castles, silent monuments to a foreign experiment. Yet, the echoes of that era have never truly faded. Today, the very same soil remains a stage for competing historical claims, where distant powers still invoke ancient rights and civilizational mandates to justify their presence. In the West, 1291 is often romanticized as a tragedy of lost glory, recounted in medieval verse and modern films. But in the Levant, it is simply the day the northern barbarians were finally vanquished. For those who still walk these sun-washed streets, it remains a timeless cautionary tale of foreign invaders, resiliance and ultimate redemption.

🇨🇳🇯🇵On November 7, 2025, recently chosen Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi made a statement at a session of the Japanese Diet where she claimed that a “contingency” in the Taiwan Strait would be a “survival threatening situation” for Japan. This prompted a strong response from the People’s Republic of China that this erroneous official statement from a sitting Japanese Prime Minister represented both a threat against China and a serious violation of the One China Principle. Given the importance this question holds for world peace or world war—and in the interest of better informing our readers of the historic context of this contention—we present this guest opinion article by Mr. Liu Pengyu, spokesperson of the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in the United States of America. ~~~ The remark blatantly tramples upon international law and the post–World War II international order. Taiwan’s return to China is an integral part of the post-war international order. On August 15, 1945, Japan announced unconditional surrender. On October 25 of that year, the ceremony to accept Japan’s surrender in Taiwan Province took place in Taipei, at which point China recovered Taiwan de jure and de facto. Instruments including the Cairo Declaration, the Potsdam Proclamation and the Japanese Instrument of Surrender explicitly required that all the territories Japan had stolen from the Chinese, including Taiwan, shall be restored to China after the end of World War II. In 1971, the UN General Assembly adopted Resolution 2758, resolving once and for all the question of the representation of the whole of China, including Taiwan, in the United Nations politically, legally and procedurally. ~~~ On the 80th anniversary of Taiwan’s restoration, however, the Japanese leader broke promises and openly tied China’s Taiwan to Japan’s so-called “security interests,” in an attempt to fabricate excuses for Japan’s military obstruction of China’s reunification. This is a violation of the spirit of the four political documents and the commitments made by Japan, and a breach of the principle of prohibiting the threat or use of force in the UN Charter. It has not only fundamentally undermined the political foundation of China-Japan relations, but also posed a serious provocation to the outcomes of World War II and the post-war international order. Not only have the Chinese people expressed strong indignation, but the Japanese people from various sectors, including a number of former Prime Ministers, have also voiced opposition and criticism.

🇨🇳Confucius said, “the rule of virtue can be compared to the Pole Star which commands the homage of the multitude of stars without leaving its place. “ 🇺🇸Benjamin Franklin understood perhaps better than any other Founding Father the importance of doing Good for its own sake. It was simply the “right thing to do”, the most spiritually fulfilling endeavor that one could and should undertake and therefore the true pathway to happiness. He said as much in a proposal that he directed to the British Parliament in August 1771--to take technologies and tools and whatever modern capabilities and to give them to New Zealand--which was entitled “Introduction to a Plan for Benefiting New Zealanders”: "Many voyages have been undertaken with views of profit or of plunder, or to gratify resentment; to procure some advantage to ourselves or do some mischief to others: but a voyage is now proposed, to visit a distant people on the other side of the globe; not to cheat them, not to rob them, not to seize their lands, or enslave their person; BUT MERELY TO DO THEM GOOD and enable them as far as in our power lies, to live as comfortably as ourselves. It seems a laudable wish, that all Nations of the earth were connected by a knowledge of each other in a mutual exchange of benefits...We may therefore hope, in this undertaking, to be of some service to our Country, as well as to those poor people, who, however distant from us, are in truth related to us, and whose Interests, do, in some degree, concern everyone who can say, “Homo sum, etc.” = “I AM A HUMAN”.” How far America has strayed and China has seemingly adopted!

🚨Emmanuel Todd: Ukraine is DOOMED. I mean, it's a country that won't exist much longer. It's a country that will disappear. The countries most vulnerable to this crisis, the most exposed, are all the vassals of the Americans. That is, the Europeans, the Japanese and the Koreans. The Gulf countries, the Arab countries. The big difference between Westerners and Russians, is that they're not in the same understanding of time. That is, the Russians think in the long term. Ursula von der Leyen announces the start of EU accession negotiations with Ukraine and Moldova Emmanuel TODD one of the greatest living French intellectuals says it's not Russia that's winning, it's the West that's losing !!!

Biolabs in Ukraine! No Russian propaganda? 😎🇷🇺🫶👇

🇷🇺🇨🇳🇺🇸🇪🇺According to the modern western textbook, “totalitarian regimes” are ipso facto restrictive. That means when you say “totalitarian” and you say “China” or “Russia”, you mean the same thing. Except how can a place that is restrictive be bursting at the seams with breakthroughs in every field imaginable with a density that every day, a new discovery, patent or release is thrust onto the world stage?! >>>> witness a new miracle of human creativity—in China. 🇨🇳 >>>> By the way, the American Founding Fathers also recognized the beauty of human creativity. 👇👇👇👇 🇨🇳BONE GLUE. That's what Chinese scientists have invented, and it fixes broken bones in 3 minutes. No metal plates. No screws. No big surgery. Just inject it, and the broken pieces bond together in minutes, even in a bloody surgical site. In one trial, a shattered wrist was fully repaired through a tiny 3cm cut. Three months later, full recovery, zero complications. Over 150 patients have already been treated. Clinical trials are ongoing. (PS, maybe it’s the western nations that have become totalitarian)

С Днём России!!!! 🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺

🇷🇺🇬🇧🇫🇷🇩🇪 Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin, during a meeting with the ambassadors of the United Kingdom, France and Germany, explained Moscow's principled approaches to finding a political and diplomatic settlement in Ukraine, the Russian Foreign Ministry stated in a message. "The principled approaches of the Russian side to finding a political-diplomatic settlement of the [Ukrainian] conflict based on eliminating its root causes were explained," the Foreign Ministry emphasised. The economics of war will do the rest if a peaceful settlement that erases the root causes of the conflict isn't reached.

🚨Europe and the United States have decided to fight until the last Ukrainian. The Russians are real players so they pay attention to what their opponent is doing, Westerners are like chess players who don't look at what their opponent is doing. Europe has made the choice of war.
