A couple of weeks ago, according to data provided by Google's blogger, we were receiving around four thousand hits a day. No big deal, but at least an expression of some interest in what we have had to say on many questions.
But then we write something about the extraordinary fact of Canada's Parliament, including the Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, giving a standing ovation to a Ukrainian Nazi who served during World War II with Hitler's Waffen SS, and interest in our blog has apparently collapsed.
Does that truly reflect an absence of public interest in one of the most extraordinary spectacles in the history of the Parliament of Canada, or could it reflect the not-so-subtle hand of Google, aka CIA, censorship?
Yaroslav Hunka was the man honored by Justin Trudeau and the Parliament of Canada.
“The Speaker of the House of Commons, Anthony Rota — who had compared Zelensky to Winston Churchill — recognized a ‘veteran from the Second World War who fought for Ukrainian independence against the Russians and continues to support the troops today even at his age of 98’.”
The (since deleted) AP caption described Hunka as having “fought with the First Ukrainian Division in World War II before later immigrating to Canada.” The First Ukrainian Division is another name for the 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS, the military wing of the Nazi Party; the unit was also called SS Galichina.
Which raises the question: why are Canadian parliamentarians so dumb?
And the answer is clear: MP's do not represent their constituents to the Government in Ottawa, they are imposed on the constituencies by the party's ruling clique for unquestioning loyalty to the party's ruling clique for the sole purpose of representing the ruling clique to their constituents.
How to end this pseudodemocratic arrangement. Simple. The constituency associations have to tell the Ottawa ruling cliques to go piss up a rope -- not that any of them have the balls to do that.
Soldiers from the Ukrainian SS division that Hunka belonged to were involved in the massacres of around 850 ethnic Poles in the village of Huta Pieniacka – which before the war was part of Poland but now lies within Ukraine – according to the IPN.
Hunka himself was among around 600 members of the division who were allowed to settle in Canada after the war. He is now a dual Ukrainian-Canadian citizen.
Trudeau, guess what? Deflected and laid the blame elsewhere. In this case, with the Speaker of the House.
“Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s office said in a statement to Fox News Digital on Sunday that the ‘Speaker of the House has apologized and accepted full responsibility for issuing the invitation and for the recognition in Parliament’.”
But it’s too late: the cat is out of the bag, and everyone is getting to know about the reality of Nazis in Ukraine
“Canadian opposition leader Pierre Poilievre demanded a personal apology from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for inviting and honoring Ukrainian Nazi veteran Yaroslav Hunka, who fought in the ranks of the 14th SS Division during the Second World War, to a parliamentary meeting on Friday.
[…] “No parliamentarians (other than Justin Trudeau) had the opportunity to vet this individual’s past before he was introduced and honoured on the floor of the House of Commons. Without warning or context, it was impossible for any parliamentarian in the room (other than Mr. Trudeau) to know of this dark past. Mr. Trudeau must personally apologize and avoid passing the blame to others as he always does,” Poilievre said on X, formerly known as Twitter.”
“The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out for himself, without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane and intolerable, and so, if he is romantic, he tries to change it. And even if he is not romantic personally he is very apt to spread discontent among those who are.”
Weltwoche: Since leaving Fox and going solo with your new show, “Tucker Carlson On Twitter (now known as ‘X’),” your posts have logged tens and sometimes hundreds of millions of views. You’re taking off like Buzz Lightyear. Are you feeling the freedom? To explore more topics and ideas? To express your views?
Tucker Carlson: Well, definitely. If anything, I've expressed my views less. I haven't done many straight-to-camera scripts where I write the script and give my opinion. I've done what I've wanted to do for a long time but couldn't, which is get on an airplane and go see the rest of the world. I couldn't because I had a daily show I had to do.
I've become convinced over the past several years — particularly since the war in Ukraine began — that the world is changing much more quickly than most Americans understand. And because there's virtually no coverage of the rest of the world in American media, Americans don't have a good sense of it.
What we, in this country, refer to as the "Post-War Order” — the institutions set up in the wake of World War II to keep the world peaceful and prosperous and the United States at the top of the pyramid, and that would include the dominance of the dollar, the SWIFT system, NATO — all of that appears to me to be crumbling. That's my view of it. I've wanted to travel and see if that is, in fact, happening — and it is.
Weltwoche: You travel the world, now, more than ever. What personality, globally, fascinates you in particular?
Carlson: I think, right now, the most interesting, wisest leader I've ever spoken to is the ruler of Abu Dhabi, MBZ. [Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, popularly known by his initials as MBZ, is president of the United Arab Emirates and the ruler of Abu Dhabi.] I respect [him].
Weltwoche: You have just flown back to the US from Abu Dhabi?
Carlson: Yes, and I spoke to him. I've interviewed a lot of people who run countries or organizations. I've interviewed a lot of leaders in, well, thirty years. That's been my job. And I've never interviewed anybody in charge of anything [who is] more willing to admit when he doesn't understand something or have any answer to a question. I've never met a more humble leader, ever, and I believe humility is a prerequisite for wisdom.
Wise people admit what they don't know, and I've never seen that before. You don't see that in the West. You're not going to interview a presidential candidate in the United States, or a president, for that matter, who's willing to say, “I don't know the answer. I've thought about it, and I'm not sure.” They'll never say that, because you can't admit you don't know.
Of course, the scope of human knowledge is very limited. We don't know anything, actually. We don't know how the brain works or how the pyramids were built. The list of things we don't know is far longer than the list of things we do, and no one will admit that. The people who do, who are willing to say that out loud, are the ones who I trust. So, I was very impressed. I've never been more impressed by a leader.
But there are a lot of interesting people from around the world. Javier Milei, I thought, was an interesting guy. [Javier Gerardo Milei is an Argentine economist and politician known for his libertarian views. He is leading in the polls for the next presidential election.]
Weltwoche: Let’s have a brief look back to your many years with Fox where you became a global media star, ranking number one with “Tucker Carlson Tonight” on cable news. During a recent episode of your show on “X,” you said: “The Murdochs never got in my way. They were always good to me. But there were always small minded. … It’s a company run by fearful women, you know what I mean?” What do you mean?
Carlson: Well, I spent fourteen years at Fox and, most of the time, I was working on my own business. I had no role in managing the company — far from it. I was just an employee. So, there are a lot of things about how the company runs that I wouldn't know about.
In my experience, the family that owns, that controls the company, the Murdochs, were always very gentlemanly to me. Very polite, nice, gave me huge latitude. I often, or sometimes, felt that they disagreed with what I was saying, that my views were different from theirs. But they let me express my views, and I was grateful for that. I am grateful for that. I never had a problem with them, and I don't have a problem with them, now. I'd disagree with them on certain things, but I'll always be grateful for the chances they gave me and the kindness they showed to me.
There are a lot of great people at Fox News, but there are also a lot of people who are just terrified, who are just trying to make it through the day. And I don't think they make Xanax strong enough for some of the people who run the place to calm down. [laughter]
I meant what I said. I've worked at a lot of news organizations in the United States, and they're all the same. They're all afraid of getting sued or yelled at or fired or humiliated. But interestingly, none of them are very afraid of getting things wrong. That's not a concern. They're not worried about accuracy as much as they're worried about being unfashionable or saying something forbidden. What they're really worried about is telling the truth.
You'd think that if you ran a news organization, your main concern would be getting it right and that you'd be terrified if someone would make a mistake. But that's not their top concern. And not just at Fox. I worked at MSNBC and CNN. I worked at PBS. I spent a year working at ABC. I've certainly been around a lot of news companies, and they're all the same. They're all fearful people who are making more than they probably should be, and they're worried about losing their jobs. Occasionally, you'll find a courageous person, but they are very, very, very rare. Very rare.
Weltwoche: The media as the “fourth estate” has a serious credibility problem, not just in the US. Here, it's the same. The only national news organization in the US that scores the majority of the public's trust is, according to YouGov [May 2023], The Weather Channel.
Carlson: Yes.
Weltwoche: Half of the American public believes that the news media deliberately attempts to mislead, misinform, and propagandize [Gallup, February 2023]. You've been in the news for so long. Why is the state of the media so miserable?
Carlson: Well, because if you want to subvert a democracy, you need to control the information that citizens receive. I'd argue that the news media in democracies is far less trustworthy than it is in other countries simply because it matters more in a democracy. People vote on the basis of the information they have. So, if you want to control their votes, you have to control what they know.
There has been a very aggressive attempt, over a number of decades on the part of the people who run the United States, to control what's available on our news stations and in our newspapers — to control the news media. And they have.
Jacinda Ardean may no longer be Prime Minister of New Zealand, but she was back at the United Nations continuing her call for international censorship. Ardern is now one of the leading anti-free speech figures in the world and continues to draw support from political and academic establishments. In her latest attack on free speech, Ardean declared free speech as a virtual weapon of war. She is demanding that the world join her in battling free speech as part of its own war against “misinformation” and “disinformation.” Her views, of course, were not only enthusiastically embraced by authoritarian countries, but the government and academic elite.
In her speech, she notes that we cannot allow free speech to get in the way of fighting things like climate change. She notes that they cannot win the war on climate change if people do not believe them about the underlying problem. The solution is to silence those with opposing views. It is that simple.

Tucker Carlson: Question Their Lies and They'll Call You a Liar:
Sensing that the public is finally tiring of his lies, exhibitionism and petulant antics, Justin the Unwise, Prime Minister of global pipsqueak Canada, has embarked on a diplomatic war with India, a country that accounts for one in four of the World's population.
For what reason?
A sikh "leader" -- i.e., an advocate for the creation of an independent Sikh state to be carved out of India's Punjab -- and a Canadian citizen, Hardeep Singh Nijjar, was murdered in British Columbia. Trudeau claims to have "credible evidence" that the murder was carried out by an agent or agents of the Government of India.
Trudeau's "credible evidence" may indeed be credible if not invincible proof of guilt. But in that case, why not demand the extradition of the supposed assassin(s) under the terms of the Canada - India extradition treaty, for trial with due process in Canada? India's agreement to extradite would allow the credibility of Trudeau's "credible evidence" to publicly examined.
An Indian refusal to extradite would be tantamount to an Indian admission of responsibility, the point Trudeau seeks to make, while denying India justification for the retaliatory measures it is now taking. And let there be no mistake, India's retaliatory measures will undermine Canada's trade with the World's most populous nation, a nation that accounts for a large share of the World's economy and with an economy growing twice as rapidly as Canada's.
But for stupid, especially when facing the prospect of electoral defeat, we can rely on our Justin. Sikhs, after all, represent over two percent of Canada's population, hold 18 Parliamentary seats and occupy four posts in the Liberal Government.

Trudeau’s fumble on India: Actually, it wasn't a fumble. It was a crass effort to win Canada's Sikh vote in the upcoming election in which Trudeau is the odds on loser.
Zero Hedge:An unprecedented major row in Canada-India relations has broken out into the open on Monday, after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in a televised speech to the House of Commons accused Indian intelligence of carrying out an extrajudicial killing on Canadian soil.
Trudeau cited "credible" intelligence pointing to "agents of the government of India" as being behind the June murder of a prominent Sikh leader named Hardeep Singh Nijjar, who was shot dead outside a Sikh temple in Surrey, British Columbia.
Epoch Times:In retaliation for Canada linking India with the killing of a B.C. man, the Indian government has now put a stop to the processing of visas for Canadians and says it requested a reduction of Canadian diplomats in the country.
“We have informed the Canadian government that there should be parity in strength and rank equivalents ... in mutual diplomatic presence,” Indian Ministry of External Affairs spokesman Arindam Bagchi told reporters on Sept. 21.
A scientific journal is rejecting a request to retract a study that found people who received a COVID-19 booster were more likely to become infected when compared to unvaccinated people.
Analyzing numbers from California's prison system, a research group found that those who received one of the bivalent boosters had a higher infection rate than people who have never received a dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.
Their study was published by the journal Cureus following peer review.
This finding is not so hard to understand. As with so many people wearing masks, many of those who have been vaccinated think themselves invulnerable. As a result, they take little care to reduce either the risk of being infected or of infecting others. But since neither masks nor the novel and largely untested m-RNA so-called vaccines provide reliable protection against Covid infection both have promoted the spread.
Zel's in Ottawa today. Does anyone seriously expect our low-IQ wannabe Dictator, Justin the Unwise, to refuse Canadian taxpayers' money in support of the blood bath in Nazified Ukraine?
A lot things have suddenly shifted this week surrounding what might be called the West's consensus narrative on the Ukraine war. Previously any alternative approach or perspective that deviated from Washington's official script and approved terminology on the conflict would have been met with angry denunciations and accusations of being "pro-Kremlin" or a "Putin puppet" in mainstream discourse.But after a summer of a failing Ukraine counteroffensive, and as Zelensky grows bolder in expressing hisfrustration and impatienceat his Western backers,US officials themselves seem to be changing the way they talk about the crisis. It seems they are getting more honest and open about what's really going on. A fresh CBS segment on Gen. Mark Milley's thoughts on the war is illustrative of this trend.
To review, NATO and top American officials have confessed the following 'banned truths'...
1) the Ukraine conflict is indeed a US-Russia proxy war
2) Russia was provoked into invading due to NATO expansion
3)the US wants to destroy & destabilize Russia, & embark on nation-building in Ukraine
Given all of the above has suddenly become "acceptable" for "insiders" to say publicly—a shift having emerging just this week, we are left with this thought: ...things you were never supposed to say are now very belatedly being admitted to quite openly...what changed? What's the purpose of these "mask off" candid moments?
Klaus Schwabb's demand that every national leader hand over their country to his World Economic forum (see my previous post), prompts the thought, why not me?
Hey Justin, gimme, gimme, gimme.
Once Canada belongs to me, here's what I'd do.
First, I'd abolish the GST and the Income tax which would surely make me wildly popular.
Then, to avoid immediate bankruptcy:
I'd freeze public sector hiring.
Then I'd cut public service salaries by 25%.
What's more, I'd introduce a mandatory Public Service retirement age of 50. After that, I'd further lighten the payroll by offering business start-up and further education grants to civil servants who still hadn't quit.
After that I'd end Federal to Provincial transfers and equalization payments, thereby saving a cool ninety plus billion a year. If the provinces want to spend money, let 'em raises the taxes themselves.
Then I'd raise cash by auctioning off some of the ten percent of Canada's land mass owned by the Federal Government. At the same time I'd advise the provinces to cut taxes and raise cash by auctioning off some of the ninetey percent of the provincial territory that they own.
In addition, I'd impose a yearly capital tax of one percent on personal wealth in excess of one million dollars. That will raise a hundred billion or so, which should be good enough to get by on. Sure, that's only a fifth of what Justin Trudeau's government burns through in a year, but does anyone really believe justin Trudeau's half-trillion-a-year budget -- about $50,000 per family of four -- is money well spent? I mean, where does that money go?
Give me a week or two, and I'd have a lot of other good ideas, but that's enough to indicate how much better off Canadians would be by handing ownership of the country to me rather than to Klaus, you-will-own-nothing-and-eat-the-bugs Schwabb, aka the WEF, or leaving it in the hands of the present custodians.
Incrementalism—the tendency to inch forward rather than to take bold steps—is usually preferred by political and military leaders in warfare, because the introduction of a few forces into action puts fewer personnel at risk, and, in theory, promises a series of improvements over time, often through attrition.
In 1950, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, led by the then-chairman General J. Lawton Collins, recommended short envelopments along the Korean coastline that were designed to gradually increase the size of the U.S. and Allied enclave known as the Pusan Perimeter. The idea was to buy time to assemble enough forces to launch a breakout on the Normandy model. But General of the Army Douglas MacArthur disagreed. He argued for a daring, deep envelopment that promised to cut off the North Korean Forces south of the 38th Parallel that were encircling Pusan.
As it turned out, MacArthur was right. Today, we know that the short envelopments were exactly what the North Korean command was prepared to defeat. In retrospect, it is certain that along with their Chinese allies, the North Koreans were familiar with the operational employment of U.S. and Allied forces during WWII. Eisenhower’s insistence on a broad front strategy that moved millions of troops in multiple armies in parallel across France and Germany to Central Europe conformed to the low-risk formula.
When you're propagating bullshit, one thing you can't have are the unbrainwashed blurting it out that the Emperor has no clothes.
So how does Harvard handle the danger of naive students declaring the obvious truth?
One way, as we wrote here, is to have your top psych. prof. describe those who questions key government-sponsored myths about Nine-Eleven, for example, or the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, as ignoramuses, idiots, or stark raving loonies. Hence Psych Prof., Stephen (aka Stinker) Pinker, labelling as complete nutters those who question the official account of the assassination of President Kennedy, or of 9/11, or the idea that Putin is Hitler.
That's right, according to Harvard's best known Psych. prof., Steven Pinker, anyone who questions the official account of the Kennedy Assassination or 9/11 has simply "lost their mind". They even, as Pinker notes, reject the Vax, for God's sake.
Google, naturally, given its CIA heritage, is fully on board with Harvard on the suppression of free speach. Hence, my post on Steven Pinker's rubbish book "Rationality" is something Google search is unable to findeven though it was published on Google's own Blogger platform. Happily, Bing goes directly there.
Presumably, this post will earn me another ticking off by Google's nanny moderators, plus further interference with traffic here or at least the traffic count which goes erratically from a handful of hits a day to several thousand dependent, seemingly, on how recently I offended Google's censorship rules.
“They have decided, permanent Washington and both parties, have decided that there’s something about Trump that’s so threatening to them, they just can’t have it. If you begin with criticism, then you go to protest, then you go to impeachment, now you go to indictment, and none of them work, what’s next? Graph it out, man. We are speeding towards assassination, obviously." Source
Tucker Carlson has a problem of his own. He's as influential as Trump, and just as much of a threat to the permanent elite. But he can mind his own back only by retiring from public view, for his public prominence depends entirely on his blurting out the fact that the Emperor, or rather the Uniparty and the three-letter agencies, have no clothes.
Dr. Jordan Peterson says he will broadcast the so-called “specified continuing education or remedial program” he was ordered to undergo by the Ontario College of Psychologists, the governing body of Ontario's professional association of psychologists that targeted him for criticizing transgender ideology, climate alarmism, and the Canadian government.
Ontario's leading psychologists apparently consider it their responsibility to compel members to conform publicly with officially sanctioned beliefs unrelated to the profession of psychology. This is in keeping with the behaviour of psychologists in great tyrannies such as that of the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany.
Canadian Sheila Annette Lewis died last week because her unvaccinated status denied her a vital organ transplant. Supporters were raising money on her behalf so that she could go to the United States for the operation.
They didn’t raise enough money.
But the COVID-19 mandate authoritarians are okay with that.
NDP (New Democrat Party) Member of Parliament Charlie Angus says she deserved death, posting on X in a now deleted Tweet, “A woman died because she prefered [sic] to fight for disinformation, anti-vaxx bullshit and conspiracy. Pierre Poilievre says she is a hero and supports a candidate so bogus that Doug Ford kicked him out.”
The reference to the “bogus” candidate is Roman Baber, who fought COVID-19 mandates and will be running as a Conservative in the next federal election.
Shortly after her death on Friday, the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms posted, “Brave Canadian, Sheila Annette Lewis, has sadly passed away today. Our thoughts are with her family, and all other Canadians who have been denied transplants because of unscientific vaccine policies. We will continue her courageous fight for rights and freedoms.”
