Michael Coren on the “Caledonia 8”

Posted on by

Six years ago a group of “Indigenous” Canadians, led by White communists and anarchists, assaulted and occupied land in Caledonia section of Ontario, Canada. Using the supposed breaking of a treaty as a pretext (and no real consensus has ever been reached on that point) “Native” protesters – and by “Native” we are also talking about a contingent of Ward Churchill style Indians – began a campaign of extortion, harassment and violence against White, Black and Asian Canadians. The violence was so bad many of the residents of Caledonia were not only hospitalized but permanently disabled by beatings administered by protesters. Residents of Caledonia had their homes and property stolen and re-distributed by the “protesters” and there have been several murders associated with the protesters.

In other words it’s a lot like what Occupy Wall Street wants to become. This report has a comprehensive list of the atrocities committed by these anarchists complete with pictures of the damage.

The worst part of the story though has always been the fact that Canadian police and the court system sided with the protesters, going so far as refusing to protect the populace from the rampage. This has resulted in several multi-million dollar lawsuits that the crumbling province can not afford.

The police have arrested eight people recently in the area – for protesting the violence. The charges were dropped and the group is planning another protest. Micheal Coren interviews one in this clip. I post this because the Caledonia occupation is a template radicals use to plan their attacks. Occupy Wall Street is already using this playbook so it is instructive to see the damage these tactics can cause over time:

Famine in Mexico Poses Security Threat to United States

The drought that has been plaguing American ranchers and farmers has been doubly hard on Mexican agriculture. Mexican border states are already experiencing food shortages which could further destabilize the already lawless region:

MEXICO CITY – Some 2.5 million people are at risk of going hungry due to the severe drought plaguing more than half of Mexico’s 32 states, a leading expert said Thursday.

“Fifty percent of the municipalities are affected and it’s estimated that 1.4 million hectares (3.5 million acres) of crops suffered,” said Emilio Romero, a scholar with the Economic Research Institute at the National Autonomous University of Mexico.

The shortage of rain has already led to the loss of 3.2 million tons of maize, 600,000 tons of beans and 60,000 head of cattle, he noted.

Without measures to counteract the agricultural losses, “this population runs the risk of suffering hunger,” Romero said, calling it “paradoxical” that the government delayed so long in tapping some of Mexico’s $147 billion in international reserves to address the problems caused by the drought.

President Felipe Calderon announced this week the appropriation of 33.83 billion pesos ($2.5 billion) for drought relief.

One of the hardest-hit states is Chihuahua, which borders Texas and is home to around 100,000 Raramuri Indians living in mountain settlements that have been particularly affected by food shortages.

Food shortages so close to the border may lead to refugees attempting to cross over illegally just to get something to eat … and finding that American food security is an illusion.

The drought is bad enough that it’s cutting into the cartels marijuana business:

The number of illegal marijuana plantations in Northern Mexico has “declined considerably” over the last few months, told a Mexican army commander to the Associated Press on Tuesday, as a devastating drought continues to wreck havoc on the country’s water supply to both its population and cropland.

“We can see a lot less (marijuana plantations) than in other years,” said General Pedro Gurrola, commander of armed forces in the state of Sinaloa. With water supply scarce, many marijuana crops have also dried up, added General Gurrola, whose forces conducts regular surveillance flights across the country to seek out any illicit drug plantations.

To make up the shortfall the cartels are making and moving more meth. This is a good lesson in cartel economics for people who thinking legalizing one or more of the products the cartels deal in will destroy them. They will always find ways to make money.

The already chaotic border region doesn’t need food shortages to add to the chaos. Border state residents should be prepared for an influx of hungry, desperate illegal aliens in the near future, and an increase in meth sales and human trafficking as cartels look to make up the shortfalls caused by a bad crop season.

Shariah, The Muslim Brotherhood and the Threat to America

Posted on by

Glenn Beck hosted a discussion with Eric Stakelbeck, Frank Gaffney and Gen. Jerry Boykin on creeping Shariah and the new caliphate. Some of the discussion turns theological as Gen. Boykin is a devout Christian, Stakelbeck works for a Christian news site and Beck is a Mormon, but the facts presented are not debatable. An important discussion you should make time to watch.

USA300: The “Superbug” Sprea Through Sneezes and Coughs

Posted on by

Take this one with several hundred grains of salt because the information is coming from the same part of the world that recently announced they didn’t think there was enough evidence to prove that water cured dehydration. To be fair England has a lot of good people trapped there, but their government is crazed. Still, something to watch:

The bacteria are more virulent than the infamous hospital MRSA, can affect otherwise healthy people and are spreading across Britain.

They can be transmitted through skin-to-skin contact and hugging as well as sneezing and coughing.

One strain, called USA300, can lead to blood poisoning or a form of pneumonia that eats away at lung tissue.

The bacteria are usually resistant to several types of antibiotics and can cause large boils on the skin.

Chris Williams, professor of molecular genetics at the University of Birmingham, said: ‘It breaks down tissue. If it gets into your heart, bacteria can get into your bloodstream and take hold of different parts of your body. That could lead to death quite easily.’

The dangers of the ‘community- acquired’ superbugs are raised in a new study, examining the way they spread. Researcher Dr Ruth Massey said USA300 was ‘causing huge problems in America and is being reported here increasingly’.

She added: ‘These community- acquired strains seem to be good at affecting healthy people – they seem to be much better than the hospital ones at causing disease.’

Dr Massey said there were 1,000 cases of so-called PVL-positive community-acquired MRSA in England in the last year, of which 200 were USA300 strains.

Prof Williams added: ‘If you’re on a crowded tube or bus and you sneeze you can spread the bacteria.

‘But your sneeze can also land on a metal surface and when someone else gets up from their seat and steadies themselves on the hand rail they can catch it.’

Again, grain of salt. The article presupposes that America is virtually under siege by this superbug but I’ve never heard of it. If you’re worried about MRSA though studies have shown that both green tea and honey have been successful in treatments.

Arab Spring! Armed Bedouins Close to Declaring War on Rest of Egypt

They’re holding hostages in a Sinai resort but their grievances – and military capabilities – are not those of simple bandits:

Some 70 armed Bedouins are reportedly holding employees of a Sinai resort hostage, demanding over $650,000 in ransom for their safe release.

The incident likely stems from growing discontent over Bedouin exclusion from the new Egyptian government that took shape after Hosni Mubarak’s ouster last year. Last week, some Bedouin leaders protested “forged parliamentary elections” while threatening armed confrontation with those in power.

“We will not allow a parliament without Bedouin representation… forged through the alliance between the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces and a certain Islamic party,” said one tribesman.

According to a CNN report, Bedouin militants may be in possession of a significant arms cache, including hundreds of surface-to-air missiles, which they allegedly smuggled out of Libya after the fall of Muammar Qaddafi.

“We have declared war against the military and will not wait for them to kill us all,” exclaimed one Bedouin leader.

Hundreds of surface to air missiles? That makes them major players in the future. Another report gives more detail on the Bedouin mindset:

Bedouins in Egypt claimed Hosni Mubarak’s regime has discriminated them for many years. After his ousting, the tribesmen began demanding greater representation in the Egyptian parliament and threatened to use force in order to achieve their political goals.

A CNN report last week quoted a Bedouin leader as saying that the “elections were forged and we are being oppressed once again; we are the ‘Jews of Sinai,'” he said, adding that the Bedouins will launch their own revolution “not in Tahrir Square, but in Sinai.”

Good thing we don’t drill for our own oil. It’s not like the middle east is unstable.
