Canadian Govt to Kill 400 Ostriches to Prevent COVID Research

The owners of Universal Ostrich Farm in B.C., Canada, has a contract signed with a Japanese research firm to study treatments for COVID-19. Biomedical research of this nature would ruin the plan-demic powers Canada enjoyed, and as such, the government plans to kill all 400 ostriches at this farm after an extensive legal battle.

Those outside Canada likely do not understand the national outrage. This is more than a case of animal cruelty or government overreach. The Canadian government is blatantly attempting to prevent researchers from finding an alternative cure to the very virus that was used as a premise to shut down the world. A Universal Ostrich Farm spokesperson, Katie Pasitney, has explained “inoculating ostriches by injecting them with antigens or particles of a dead virus” created an immune response to create egg antibodies.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency ordered to cull the entire flock due to two ostriches dying of the H5N1 virus. The World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) maintains that all birds among an infected flock must be killed to prevent health issues. Yet, these birds were not for meat or simply pets. These birds potentially contained the capacity to product antibodies to COVID-19. Remember when the government cared about nothing aside from COVID? The headlines touted that the world would suffer a medieval plague unless everyone stayed home, masked up, and willingly accepted an experimental mRNA unstudied vaccine. The government can simply do anything under the pretext of “public health.”

The UFO-Alien Traps

There’s been a significant uptick in mainstream UFO coverage over the last couple of years. Though the mainstream media have traditionally shunned the topic, speculative articles about UFOs — and, by implication, aliens — are now routinely being published by such outlets. There’s even a polished documentary on the topic featuring federal lawmakers and a former CIA director debuting this month. What gives?

A common theory is that our benevolent masters are finally ready to admit the truth. We’re being prepped for the revelation that aliens are and have been among us. The mainstream coverage is a way of gently preparing us for “disclosure”; they’re methodically throwing out crumbs of information that we can digest without choking.  

Several UFO-related news items have been circulating within the last few weeks.

3I/ATLAS

The internet has been buzzing with alternative theories about 3I/ATLAS, the third interstellar comet known to pass through our solar system. Avi Loeb is the leading mainstream figure promoting the narrative that 3I/ATLAS may very well be an alien craft. Loeb is a Harvard scientist who’s either too brave to worry about being stigmatized, or is part of a psyop. He has said that the comet’s “non-gravitational acceleration” is evidence of an “internal engine,” and therefore being driven by intelligent design. He said that might explain “ATLAS’ bizarre change in pigment while nearing our solar system’s light source,” the New  York Post reported.

Loeb’s theory has been rampant on social media. And his idea got the attention of popular podcaster Joe Rogan, who recently had him on his show. Moreover, the Post appears to have taken an especially zealous interest in what he has to say. It has published several articles on Loeb and his theory.

Interestingly, though, Loeb appears to be a solo act who has convinced Rogan of at least one easily verifiable falsehood. Every mainstream article I’ve run across in this vein features Loeb, and him only. Also, rocket expert Elon Musk appeared as a guest on Rogan’s show after Loeb. Rogan said one of the reasons Loeb believes 3I/ATLAS is driven by intelligent beings is because it’s made of nickel, which indicates industrial design. But Musk immediately dispelled that. “No, there are—there are definitely comets and asteroids that are made primarily of nickel,” he said. Really? Rogan asked, surprised. Musk confirmed. The world wide web makes this an easy fact to confirm as well.

Enigma

Then there’s a recent story about the findings of the UFO-reporting app Enigma. “Strange lights, unexplained objects, and mysterious movements beneath the waves have been appearing off U.S. coastlines in numbers that are leaving both scientists and UFO enthusiasts stunned,” reads the first line of a recent Newsweek article. It continues: “A recent report by UFO-tracking app Enigma reveals that thousands of sightings of Unidentified Submersible Objects (USOs) have been logged near rivers, lakes, and oceans, suggesting that unexplained phenomena are not confined to the skies.”

Fox affiliates have picked this up as well. “Thousands of UFOs spotted off US coastlines raise new national security fears: expert,” blares the headline to a Tampa Bay affiliate’s story. “Enigma, a non-partisan organization that boasts its ‘largest queryable historical sighting database for global UFO sightings,’ has recorded roughly 30,000 UFO sightings since its launch in 2022,” the article tells us.

Congressional Comments

Another big shift in UFO coverage is that American lawmakers are now openly talking about this mysterious phenomena. Anna Paulina Luna, a Republican representative from Florida, has been one of multiple legislators openly determined to find out what’s going on. She’s the chairwoman of the Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets. And she believes there are non-human intelligent beings out there. “Based on the photos that I’ve seen, I’m very confident that there’s things out there that have not been created by mankind,” she has said. Last week, she sent NASA’s acting administrator Sean Duffy a letter asking for more information on 3I/ATLAS, overtly implying that she believes it’s not a comet. “This information is of great importance to advancing our understanding of interstellar visitors and interactions with our solar system,” she wrote.

Luna is also featured in the much ballyhooed, soon-to-be-released documentary The Age of Disclosure. As is Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.), another outspoken supporter of the idea that the government is not telling people the truth about UFOs. While these two legislators don’t emit the swampy stench that emanates from most members of Congress, the other talking heads in the documentary just happen to be “former” national security officials, including former CIA director, suspected traitor, and Deep Stater John Brennan.

Government Secrets

There is no shortage of theories as to what aliens and UFOS may be. We’re not saying that something strange and anomalous is not happening. But getting into what exactly is going on is not the point of this article. We’re not going to speculate if our visitors are space aliens, future humans, or demons from another dimension, or if the whole thing is one big psyop. That’s a rabbit hole that goes deeper than we care to dive.

But it’s worth mentioning that defense contractors and the government have for a long time had secret advanced technology that has baffled the public. For example, many UFO sightings in the 1950s and ’60s, we now know, were of American spy plans like the U-2 and SR-71 Blackbird. Also, multiple whistleblowers have come forward over the years claiming they worked near or on advanced secret technology. And even President Donald Trump admitted that the military has technology the public has no idea exists. “This country is very powerful. It’s far more powerful than people understand,” he told reporters during a recent Oval Office press conference. “We have weaponry that nobody has any idea what it is, and it is the most powerful weapons in the world that we have. More powerful than anybody, not even close.”

Marijuana Arrests Comprised Nearly Half of All Drug-Related Arrests in Over a Dozen States in 2024

Marijuana-related arrests far outpace arrests for other drug-related violations in jurisdictions where its possession and use remain criminally prohibited under state law.

In five states (Idaho, Iowa, Louisiana, Nebraska, and Wisconsin), more than half of all drug-related arrests reported by state and local law enforcement agencies in 2024 were cannabis-related, according to data provided by the FBI’s Crime Data Explorer.

In nine other states (Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Mississippi, North Dakota, South Carolina, Utah, and Wyoming), 40 percent or more of all drug-related arrests were for marijuana-related violations. In the District of Columbia, where adult-use is legal but public use remains a criminal — not a civil — violation, 42 percent of all drug-related arrests were marijuana-related.

In these states, marijuana-related arrests are almost exclusively for low-level possession. In Alabama, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming more than 97 percent of all marijuana-related arrests in 2024 were for minor possession, not trafficking or sales.

By comparison, marijuana-related arrests typically comprise only a small percentage of arrests in states where personal possession has been legalized. For instance, in Arizona, California, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, New Jersey, Vermont, and Washington, marijuana-related arrests comprised fewer than five percent of all drug-related arrests in 2024. By contrast, marijuana-related arrests comprised over one-third of all drug-related arrests in Illinois, despite lawmakers legalizing the adult-use market in 2019.

Wisconsin Lawmakers Propose VPN Ban and ID Checks on Adult Sites

Wisconsin legislators have found a new villain in their quest to save people from themselves: the Virtual Private Network.

The state’s latest moral technology initiative, split into Assembly Bill 105 and Senate Bill 130, would force adult websites to verify user ages and ban anyone connecting through a VPN.

It passed the Assembly in March and now waits in the Senate, where someone will have to pretend this is enforceable.

Supporters are selling the plan as a way to “protect minors from explicit material.”

The bill’s machinery reads like a privacy demolition project written by people who still call tech support to reset passwords.

The law would apply to any site that “knowingly and intentionally publishes or distributes material harmful to minors.” It then defines that material as anything lacking “serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value for minors.”

The wording is broad enough to rope in half the internet, yet somehow manages to exclude “bona fide news” (as to be determined by the state) and cloud platforms that don’t create the content themselves.

Whether that covers social media depends on who you ask: lawyers, lobbyists, or whichever intern wrote the definitions section.

The bill instructs websites to delete verification data after access is granted or denied.

That sounds good until you recall how the tech industry handles deletion promises.

Au10tix left user records exposed for a year after pledging to delete them within 30 days. Tea suffered multiple breaches despite assurances of immediate deletion. In the real world, “deleted” often means “archived on an unsecured server until a hacker finds it.”

The headline feature is a rule penalizing anyone who uses a VPN to access restricted material. VPNs encrypt internet traffic and disguise user locations, which lawmakers apparently see as a threat to order.

The logic is that if people can hide their IP addresses, the state can’t check their ID to ensure they’re old enough to view certain content. That’s technically true and philosophically disturbing.

Officials in other places are already cheering this idea. Michigan introduced a proposal requiring internet providers to detect and block VPN traffic.

If Wisconsin adopts the rule, VPN users would become collateral damage. Journalists, activists, and everyday users who rely on encryption for safety would be swept up in the ban.

Carbon taxes and Digital ID systems in 50 countries by 2028: Albo has signed up with UN

Two months ago, just before the UN gathered in New York, I warned you that a decisive moment was coming.

That moment is now.

The moment the globalists move from plans on paper to control in practice—unless we stop it.

On my long flight to Doha, Qatar, I couldn’t shake one thought: how fast things have escalated. In just a few short weeks, the agenda has accelerated at breakneck speed… and it’s nothing short of chilling.

  •  In the UK, digital IDs are now being pushed to access employment.
  • In Vietnam, millions of bank accounts were frozen overnight for failing to comply with new “social responsibility” regulations.
  • The UN is calling for a global carbon tax to pump massive amounts of tax money into its Socialist and Globalists coffers … YOUR tax money to control YOUR economy and decisions
  • The plan call for imposing digital ID systems in 50 countries by 2028—tracking people from birth to death. Your right to travel or work could be canceled with the click of a button.
  • The EU continues pushing forward with its programmable “Digital Euro,”—where access to your own money could be restricted by unaccountable bureaucrats because of an action or statement.

This is no longer a theory. It’s already underway, touching finance, work, and speech, and targeting every corner of our lives.

In just hours, the UN will open its World Summit for Social Development—where they intend to lock in Agenda 2030 as the world’s official roadmap. Not mere guidelines, but binding frameworks pushed into national laws, school curriculums, funding programs, and more. All funded with buckets of your tax money.

Let me be clear: this summit isn’t about development. It’s about centralizing control.

They’re assembling the machinery of a global system—one that dictates how you live, what you can buy, where you can travel, even what you’re allowed to say or believe.

This is where it all comes together …censorship, digital surveillance, control over farmers, families, faith, finance … you name it!

But here’s what they didn’t count on: you and thousands like you speaking up—right now.

Judges Rule Against Property Owners Seeking Compensation for SWAT Team Damage

A three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled on Nov. 3 that the Los Angeles Police Department SWAT team is not liable for damage done to a business while chasing a criminal in 2022.

NoHo Printing & Graphics Owner Carlos Pena will ask the full court to rehear the case, his attorneys from the Institute for Justice said in a statement posted to the Institute’s webpage.

A majority ruled that arresting a criminal is an exception to the takings clause in the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution. That clause requires the government to compensate the owners of property taken by government action.

In August 2022, a criminal barricaded himself inside the business Pena had owned for 30 years. Police actions resulted in tens of thousands of dollars in damage and lost profits. Pena’s insurance and the city refused to pay, so in July 2023, he sued.

In March 2024, the court ruled against Pena, and he appealed to the Ninth Circuit. Pena vowed to keep up the fight. In an email to The Epoch Times, Pena wrote that the battle is larger than just his business.

“What happened to me isn’t right and sometimes it feels like the deck is stacked against good citizens. I just don’t want anyone else to lose everything they worked for, like I did,” Pena wrote.

Pena and McKinney, Texas, homeowner Vicki Baker both filed claims against their respective cities after police damaged their property.

In Baker’s case, a fugitive high on methamphetamine barricaded himself in her house with a teenage hostage. He eventually released the teen girl, who told police that her kidnapper told her he would not be taken alive.

China’s technocratic surveillance state, brought to you by American Big Tech and designed for global application

Daniel Corvell has an excellent analysis of the U.S.-China collaboration on what amounts to the creation of a coming globalized surveillance state. Of course it all hinges on countries adopting biometric digital IDs, tied to our bank accounts and tokenization. Once that’s in place, it’s game over for freedom. Below is an excerpt from the article, at The Conservative Playbook, which is a must read for understanding the symbiotic relationship between communist China, Silicon Valley, and “democratic” Washington.

China’s surveillance regime is often depicted as a uniquely authoritarian system — a dystopian fusion of cameras, algorithms, and totalitarian ambition. But a growing body of evidence shows that the foundation of Beijing’s digital panopticon was not built in isolation. It was quietly funded, equipped, and technologically enabled by the very institutions that claim to defend freedom: American corporations and the U.S. government.

According to a recent report by the NGO C4ADS and the Intercept, American tech giants and defense-linked suppliers have been directly feeding China’s expanding surveillance apparatus through sophisticated biometric, semiconductor, and AI technologies.

The report maps out how dozens of U.S. companies, some operating through intermediaries or “shell” distributors, have supplied the Chinese Communist Party’s surveillance infrastructure — from facial recognition components to data-processing software that powers state monitoring of its 1.4 billion citizens.

At the center of this web are biometric technologies — tools that scan faces, track movements, and identify individuals in real time. Many of these systems were originally designed for security or retail analytics but have been absorbed into China’s “public safety” network, a euphemism for omnipresent state surveillance. In regions such as Xinjiang, these tools have been weaponized to monitor and detain Uyghur Muslims, tracking everything from gait patterns to smartphone activity. But the scandal is not only what China has done with the technology — it’s how easily American firms helped make it possible.

Researchers discovered that many U.S. suppliers, including major chipmakers and sensor producers, continued selling hardware and software to Chinese entities long after Washington imposed export restrictions. They did so indirectly — by routing shipments through subsidiaries or rebranding products under “neutral” names. Some contracts were even facilitated through government-backed programs encouraging “U.S.-China technological collaboration,” showing that the American national security establishment has, at times, spoken out of both sides of its mouth.

It is a hypocrisy that runs deep. Publicly, Washington condemns Beijing’s human rights abuses and warns about “digital authoritarianism.” Privately, many agencies and corporations have viewed China as too profitable to restrain. The result is a moral paradox: American taxpayers fund defense and intelligence programs to “counter Chinese influence” while their own technology firms supply the infrastructure for the CCP’s surveillance state.

Unfortunately, it’s far worse than just hypocrisy that’s affecting the Chinese people. The same tech deployed in China is quickly integrating with America’s burgeoning Surveillance Industrial Complex. It’s as if they’re testing it in a known authoritarian state ahead of becoming our own authoritarian state.

UK Man Arrested for Possessing Gunpowder Recipe

Here in the United States, we have a serious DIY culture. People will make their own anything if they think it’s cool enough. Despite being the wealthiest nation on the planet, people build their own furniture, make their own clothes, make pottery, take up blacksmithing, or any number of activities that they could just pay for, but would rather do it themselves.

And we celebrate this.

Yes, that also includes people making their own guns and ammunition. I get that not everyone feels the same way we do about the right to keep and bear arms, but it seems the UK is even more down on it than I thought.

After all, some words on paper are too much for them, apparently.

A 49-year-old man from Leeds has been sentenced to three years and nine months in prison for possessing a handwritten recipe for gunpowder.

…

He will serve an additional four years on extended licence and will be subject to a Serious Crime Prevention Order for five years, along with terrorism notification requirements for ten years.

[Martin Paul] Gilleard admitted possessing information likely to be useful to someone committing or preparing an act of terrorism under Section 58 of the Terrorism Act 2000. The document was discovered at his home during an intelligence-led search by West Yorkshire Police on May 28 and referred to Counter Terrorism Policing North East for investigation.

Now, there doesn’t seem to be any evidence that he did anything with the recipe. He just happened to have it.

As a result of those words on a piece of paper, though, he’s being treated like a terrorist in his home country, even as actual acts of terrorism keep being dismissed as nothing to be concerned about.

That entire country has lost its ever-loving mind, and that’s a shame because that’s where my roots are from, for the most part, and I’d love to visit someday. I just don’t know that I’d be safe there based on everything I see.

Especially since defending myself would be virtually impossible there.

And before anyone tries the “it can’t happen here” thing, remember that some states have tried making it illegal to possess 3D printer files for making your own firearm. That’s still just information that is harmless on its own. How long before some ninny here in the States tries to ban reloading your own ammo, followed by banning information pertaining to reloading?

We’re not as far away from something like this as we might like to believe.

That’s especially true as this was folded under anti-terrorism laws. The specter of terrorism has made our own lawmakers opt for some stupid things in the past, and to forget that freedom is and remains the guiding principle of this great nation, so it’s not hard to see this happening here.

Trump To Democrats: SNAP Returns Only After Gov’t Reopens; USDA Warns Grocers On Illegal Food Stamp Discounts

The Trump administration said Monday it plans to partially fund the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) after judges ruled in November that contingency funds must be used to pay for the benefits.

One major issue with SNAP has been the widespread fraud that erupted under the Biden-Harris regime. U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins revealed Sunday that the USDA has purged 700,000 fraudulent recipients so far this year.

On Tuesday morning, President Trump wrote on X that SNAP benefits “increased by Billions and Billions of Dollars (MANY FOLD!) during Crooked Joe Biden’s disastrous term in office (Due to the fact that they were haphazardly “handed” to anyone for the asking, as opposed to just those in need, which is the purpose of SNAP!” 

Trump made it clear to radical leftist lawmakers that keeping the government closed – now on its 35th day, a record – by refusing to vote on a clean resolution would mean the SNAP program would only resume once the government reopens.

“It will be given only when the Radical Left Democrats open up government, which they can easily do, and not before!” the president emphasized. 

Benny Johnson told Newsmax’s Rob Finnerty several days ago that the Trump administration should force everyone who wants to get back onto SNAP to “reapply with American citizenship.”

Ukraine’s ‘Busification’ — forced conscription — is tip of the iceberg

“Busification” is a well-understood term in Ukraine and refers to the process in which young men are detained against their will, often involving a violent struggle, and bundled into a vehicle — often a minibus — for onward transit to an army recruitment center.

Until recently, Ukraine’s army recruiters picked easy targets. Yet, on October 26, the British Sun newspaper’s defense editor, Jerome Starkey, wrote a harrowing report about a recent trip to the front line in Ukraine, during which he claimed his Ukrainian colleague was “forcibly press-ganged into his country’s armed services.”

This case was striking for two reasons; first, that the forced mobilization of troops is rarely reported by Western mainstream media outlets. And second, that unlike most forced conscriptions, this event took place following the alleged commandeering of the Western journalists’ vehicle by three armed men, who insisted they drive to a recruitment center.

There, Starkey reported, “I saw at least [a] dozen glum men — mostly in their 40s and 50s — clutching sheafs of papers. They were called in and out of side rooms for rubber-stamp medicals to prove they were fit to fight.”

The process has drawn criticism after high-profile incidents where men have died even before they donned military uniforms. On October 23, Ukrainian Roman Sopin died from heavy blunt trauma to the head after he had been forcibly recruited. Ukrainian authorities claim that he fell, but his family is taking legal action. In August, a conscripted man, 36, died suddenly at a recruitment center in Rivne, although the authorities claim he died of natural causes. In June, 45-year-old Ukrainian-Hungarian Jozsef Sebestyen died after he was beaten with iron bars following his forced conscription; the Ukrainian military denies this version of events. In August, a conscript died from injuries sustained after he jumped out of a moving vehicle that was transporting him to the recruitment center.

Look online and you’ll find a trove of thousands of incidents, with most of them filmed this year alone. You can find videos of a recruitment officer chasing a man and shooting at him, a man being choked to death on the street with a recruiter’s knee on his neck. Many include family members or friends fighting desperately to prevent their loved one being taken against his will.

If videos of this nature, on this systemic scale, were shared in the United States or the United Kingdom, I believe that members of the public would express serious concerns. Yet the Western media remains largely silent, and I find it difficult to understand why.

In November 2024, Ukraine’s defense minister Rustem Umerov claimed that he would put an end to busification. It is true that Ukraine has been taking steps to modernize its army recruitment and make enlistment more appealing to men under the age of 25. Yet, there is little evidence that those efforts are having the desired effect. And after a year, busification only appears to be getting worse, yet remains widely ignored by the Western press.
