Hitler posts, vanishing accounts and legal threats: what happened after a Montreal man was exposed?

A Montreal man linked by online researchers to social media accounts that allegedly praised Adolf Hitler, attacked Jews online and celebrated the October 7 massacre has denied any responsibility for the posts — as several associated accounts disappeared, changed names or were made private following public scrutiny.

The allegations concern Zubair Sattar, a Montreal businessman associated with EMFURN Furniture and VVS Jewelry, two online businesses.

On June 9, an online researcher known as Leviathan published findings alleging that Sattar was connected to accounts using the alias “RealZubidoo” across multiple platforms. Posts attributed to those accounts included a Hitler GIF alongside the statement that Hitler “should’ve finished the job,” Holocaust-related mockery, antisemitic slurs and content questioning the reality of Nazi gas chambers.  (All those publications are unavailable since all the accounts have been deleted, turned private or banned.)

Rebel News attempted repeatedly to obtain Sattar’s response, visiting publicly listed business addresses, calling company telephone numbers and sending written questions.

Instead of answering the specific questions, Sattar sent legal notices warning against defamation and mischaracterization.

In his final response, however, Sattar firmly denied the allegations. “I reject any suggestion that I hold animosity toward individuals on the basis of race, religion, ethnicity, or background,” he wrote, adding that he had “no knowledge of these posts or why they were attributed to me.”

The Promise Of A Quick Victory Turns Into A Stagnating Conflict – Pressing Lawmakers As New Fears Of A “Forever War” Are On The Rise

In February 2026, the United States and Israel conducted military strikes against Iran, which resulted in the death of the Iranian dictator, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and started another major war in the Middle East. Five months later, it has become unclear how long this war will last or what the objective even is.

The past few months have seen a nonstop back-and-forth on the status of the war, creating a lot of confusion for the general public. Throughout the war, Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most vital energy chokepoints and an important trading route. The closure of the straight has brought massive inflation to the U.S., with gas price averages rising close to $4 a gallon.

One moment, President Trump says that a peace deal is on the horizon; the next moment, U.S. strikes against Iran intensify. One moment talks about reopening the Strait of Hormuz see progress; the next moment, Iran closes the strait once again.

Major networks ABC, NBC refuse to air Trump’s prime-time address on election fraud

Major broadcast networks, including ABC and NBC, will not be airing President Donald Trump‘s highly anticipated speech addressing his administration’s most pressing issues and his stance on election fraud. 

The White House has hinted at a variety of reasons for Thursday’s speech, but sources told Reuters on Wednesday that Trump may use the remarks to disclose whether China had interfered in the 2020 presidential election. 

The president said ahead of the speech that he has ‘really, really big news’ to share with the nation. 

ABC confirmed in a statement to multiple media outlets that the president’s remarks would be live-streamed on its corresponding streaming channels rather than on the prime-time cable network. 

‘We will also cover the speech in our regular network newscasts and, as always, our Special Report team is fully prepared to break into network programming to deliver live updates and reporting should significant developments occur,’ the network said in a statement to the Hollywood Reporter.

NBC has also opted to air Trump’s remarks on its free streaming service, NBC News Now, a source familiar with the matter confirmed to Reuters.   

Spokespeople for CBS News and Fox News have not announced whether they will air Trump’s speech on their prime-time channels. 

CNN told the Hollywood Reporter that the network planned to cover the president’s speech ‘as a news event, and monitor it for news developments, providing analysis and commentary from CNN experts who cover elections, intelligence and the FBI.’

Fresh fears for NYC as hyperwoke actress Cynthia Nixon is appointed to panel that screens JUDGES after Sex and the City star suggested shoplifting should be legalized

Woke actress Cynthia Nixon was appointed to serve on a panel that screens judges for the state of New York after she previously suggested that shoplifting should be legalized.

Nixon, 60, best known for her role as Miranda on the show Sex and the City, was appointed to sit on the Commission on Judicial Nomination by New York Chief Judge Rowan Wilson.

The former actress will serve on the board which screens candidates for vacancies on the Court of Appeals, New York State’s highest court.

Nixon’s term for the unpaid position runs through April 30, 2030, and is the latest move after a turbulent political career.

The former actress and failed New York gubernatorial candidate tweeted in 2021 that ‘desperate people shouldn’t be prosecuted’ for stealing items at CVS.

She had noticed her local CVS in SoHo had ‘started’ locking up ‘basic items like clothing detergent.’

‘As so many families can’t make ends meet right now, I can’t imagine thinking that the way to solve the problem of people stealing basic necessities out of desperation is to prosecute them,’ Nixon tweeted.

She will now work hand in hand with the commission to suggest candidates to forward to the Governor.

Latest Case of “Palestine Exception” to Free Speech Is “Golden Gate Defendants”

Jury deliberations in the case of a group of San Francisco protesters dubbed the “Golden Gate Defendants” resulted in multiple misdemeanor convictions on July 2, 2026. The case stems from an organized action that took place April 15, 2024, in protest of the U.S.-enabled Israeli genocide in Gaza. Twenty-six people were initially arrested for blocking traffic on San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge and jailed for more than 48 hours. After a majority of the 1,144 combined charges were dropped, seven people went to trial.

In spite of being found guilty of multiple misdemeanors, the Golden Gate Defendants view the outcome as a victory. Tori Porell, senior staff attorney at Palestine Legal, who has been supporting the defendants, said San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins “failed to secure convictions on the most serious charges” of felony conspiracy. Jury members were deadlocked on the felony charges that could have resulted in 15-year prison sentences.

Still, defendants and their allies have spent two years enmeshed in the stress of a long-drawn-out trial. Now, those charged and convicted await a sentencing hearing in August.

As Reading Skills and IQ Decline, the Leaders of the Future Will Be Readers

Americans are reading less than at any point in decades, and reading proficiency continues to decline. As the gap between readers and nonreaders widens, those who continue to read may gain an increasingly significant educational, economic, and leadership advantage.

The long-term decline in reading habits among Americans is well documented. National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) data tracked through the American Time Use Survey show the share of adults who read a book for pleasure in the past 12 months falling from 61% in 1992 to 49% in 2022. The same peer-reviewed analysis found that the share of Americans reading for pleasure on an average day fell from 28% in the early 2000s to 16% in 2023.

Among children, the decline is even sharper. National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) long-term trend data show that the share of 13-year-olds who read for fun almost every day fell from 35% in 1984 to just 14% in both 2023 and 2025, the lowest level since the question was first asked. Nine-year-olds show a similar pattern, with the share falling from 53% in 1984 to 37% in 2025.

Reading proficiency is also declining across all grade levels. Roughly 40% of fourth graders and one-third of eighth graders now score below the NAEP Basic level, the largest shares since 2002 and the highest in NAEP history, respectively. Twelfth graders posted their lowest average reading score in more than three decades in 2024: 283 on NAEP’s 500-point scale.

That was three points below the 2019 average and 10 points below the first assessment in 1992. Only 35% were considered prepared for entry-level college reading coursework, down from 37% in 2019. The decline extends into adulthood. Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC) data show that U.S. adults’ literacy scores fell by 12 points from 2017 to 2023. Today, 28% of adults, or 58.9 million people, score at Level 1 proficiency or below, up from 19% in 2017.

The decline is not uniform. NAEP’s own percentile breakdowns show scores for top-performing students holding roughly steady while scores for the lowest performers fall sharply, widening the gap to its largest margin on record at both the 12th grade and 13-year-old level. NCES’s commissioner has described this as “a dwindling middle” in U.S. skills.

A small subset of heavy readers accounts for a disproportionate share of all reading. A December 2025 YouGov survey found that 19% of Americans account for the majority of books read nationally. Separate data show that only about 14% of adults read 20 or more books per year.

Banks Have Been Lending to Illegal Aliens. The Trump Administration Just Stepped In.

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, along with two other federal regulators, has officially issued new guidance to banks recommending that they stop issuing loans to illegal aliens, a practice that is legal under current law. Regulators also pushed financial institutions to reconsider providing credit cards and mortgages to illegal aliens.

The Director of the National Economic Council, Kevin Hassett, explained that American banks have been making “lots” of loans to illegal aliens, creating significant financial risk for lenders who may never recover the money they’ve loaned out if that alien is deported. He added that the measure is intended to increase financial stability and suggested it was prompted by a “surprising” finding by federal regulators, presumably regarding the volume of loans being issued to individuals without citizenship or legal immigration status.

“Why would loans even be going to illegal immigrants in the first place?” Hasset was asked on Fox News.

“Right, they shouldn’t have been going there in the first place, and the bottom line is that if a bank is making lots of loans to people that might be deported because they have a criminal record or whatever, then obviously that person is probably not going to pay back the loan,” Hassett replied. “And so we view this as a financial stability measure that makes a great deal of sense. And it’s, I guess, the interesting thing is that the regulators felt they had to issue that guidance, presumably because of something they discovered that was surprising.”

Italy’s Meloni Moves to Vastly Increase Hunters’ Rights With Legislation That Calls Them ‘Bioregulators’

Italian Prime Minister will get pushback at home and abroad – but it is worth it.

A fact that is incredibly offensive for the ‘new age’ sensibilities of liberals, but is nevertheless true: human hunters are a vital part of the ecological balance of species in many regions of our planet.

Just think about how many countries are suffering lately with insane invasions by wild hogs breeding with domestic pigs at a speed faster than they can be culled, and turning rural and suburban areas upside down.

Or how the resurgence of bear populations in Japan seems beyond the ability of the government to cope with it.

So, when Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s government proposes a reform of hunting laws, even if in the run-up of next-years’ elections, it seems like a good idea.

But needless to say, the proposed reform has become a huge battleground in Italy’s culture wars.

New Hampshire Democrat Caught Speeding at 107 MPH on 65 MPH Zone – Now Claims “Legislative Privilege” Means She’s Above the Law and Not Subject to the Same Rules as Her Constituents

Another Democrat “rules for thee but not for me” scandal has erupted in New Hampshire.

According to court records, New Hampshire State Rep. Ellen Read (D-Newmarket), who is seeking reelection, has argued that deputies had no authority to stop or charge her because she was protected by “legislative privilege” while traveling to or from legislative duties.

Read has attempted to have both traffic cases dismissed on those grounds, even taking the issue to the New Hampshire Supreme Court, which declined to hear her appeal at this stage.

The Globe reported that Read was first clocked driving 107 mph in a 65-mph zone on Interstate 93 in December 2024. She was later cited again after allegedly traveling 92 mph on the same highway in June 2025.

Rather than simply contesting the facts of the citations or paying the fines, the entitled state rep. has argued that the New Hampshire Constitution’s legislative immunity provision prevents law enforcement from arresting or charging lawmakers while they are traveling to or from legislative sessions.

In court filings, Read has likened herself to emergency responders such as police officers or EMTs, suggesting legislators should similarly be exempt from routine enforcement while carrying out their official duties.

She has not publicly identified any emergency that required her alleged high-speed driving.
