Your Sikhs today: Home Depot edition

Hamilton ON police announced this week that they have rounded up more than 30 of the usual suspects -- at least 12 of them Sikhs -- in "Project Checkout", an investigation into organized retail theft targeting Home Depot stores. The four-month probe was launched after police noticed a 25% increase in thefts from the American D-I-Y chain.

According to their statement, "What began as a series of shoplifting investigations quickly revealed an organized operation. Investigators found organized groups were stealing high-value tools and construction equipment from Hamilton Home Depot stores before reselling the items through online marketplaces at prices well below retail."

Police allege that in several incidents, suspects "threatened violence when store employees attempted to intervene." They say two search warrants were subsequently carried out at a commercial property and residence where hundreds of suspected stolen tools and other items believed to be connected to the the theft ring were recovered. A 2021 RAM TRX, valued at about C$100,000 ($70,000 in real money), was also seized.

Here's the list of those charged. There are 12 Singhs. More of the accused may also be Sikhs whose fully names have not been reported. Note those who were already on probation or out on bail in other matters.

Your Sikhs today: One less truck driver on Ontario roads

The highways of Ontario are a little bit safer today, with Taranpreet Singh Sidhu, pictured, off the roads and in the morgue.

The 29-year-old immigrated to Canada from India in 2022 to study at the notorious Singh School of Truck driving. Until this week, he lived in Brampton (surprised?) and Halifax while working as a driver for DiversityTruck Lines.

On Wednesday morning, his body was found, partly submerged in water, in a sewage culvert [No tasteless jokes, please. Ed.] at the north end of Fruitland Road in Stoney Creek ON. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Inspector Singh (no relation) of the Hamilton police said, "Following the initial investigation, detectives have confirmed Mr Sidhu’s death is the result of a homicide. Investigators are not releasing the cause of death at this time as the investigation remains ongoing." 

"Investigators have conducted an extensive video canvas in the area where Mr. Sidhu was located and continue to review surveillance and digital evidence while interviewing witnesses to establish his movements leading up to his death," the shamus added. "While detectives continue to pursue all investigative avenues, they are not prepared to release information regarding the 18-wheeler believed to have been used to transport Mr Sidhu."

The Vatican still hasn't obeyed Our Lady of Fatima's command

Walt is pleased to share an e-mail just received from Michael Matt, Editor of The Remnant newspaper, on the subject of  the blatant and egregious hypocrisy being shown by Pope Leo and his acolytes and minions in (supposedly) excommuniating the bishops and priests of the Society of St. Pius X, and even the faithful Catholics who in any way "adhere to" or support the SSPX. Like me, for one.

People who live in glass (papal) palaces shouldn’t throw stones. The Vatican likes to brag about how merciful they are but have evidently failed to notice the hypocrisy of brutally kicking faithful Catholics out of the Church without even giving them a fair hearing.

They say they want to listen to the people, but evidently only if the people parrot back to them what the Vatican wanted them to say in the first place.

They say they are synodal and yet behave like rigid idealogues to those who disagree with their new ideas. Most recently, the world looked on in disbelief as the Vatican refused to hear the desperate cries of a million Latin Mass Catholics whose only crime was an earnest desire to keep the Faith of their fathers.

These rigid shepherds demand obedience of their sheep even after they themselves have offered an example of sustained disobedience to God’s law, the laws of the Church, and now even the natural law.

For a hundred years before Fiducia Supplicans detonated -- whereby the Vatican greenlit blessings for homosexual couples -- they had steadfastly refused to obey Our Lady's command to reveal the "Third Secret."

This, by the way, is the same apparition wherein Our Lady said: “More souls go to hell for sins of the flesh than for any other reason.” No wonder a Jimmy Martin-friendly Vatican would ignore Fatima for as long as possible.

Eventually, they trotted out a doctored-up version of her "Third Secret", which even Mother Angelica famously declined to accept as legitimate. And of course, they've refused to consecrate Russia to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, exactly as she had asked. In fact, the world is still waiting.

Would that the Vatican were as patient with the SSPX as heaven has been with the Vatican. In any case, in our day Pope Pius X’s prophecy has proven to be alarmingly accurate – Modernists have infiltrated the Church.

The good news? They will fail. In fact, they’re failing already. Far from blowing the Traditional Catholic counterrevolution apart, their recent pharisaical crackdown on Latin Mass Catholics is backfiring. The SSPX has forced the Vatican's true agenda into the light, thus helping millions to see the destructive nature of their Revolution.

My new Underground contains a special message to the Catholic clans of the world: Do not lose hope! To beat them at their own game -- and to not be deceived by their forked tongues -- we must develop a better understanding of the Modernist Revolution and what the endgame has always been. (St. Pius X, pray for us.)

God has not abandoned His Church. I am just old enough to remember what the great pioneer traditionalists did when all of this happened the first time around. At that point, the Latin Mass had been “abrogated” and was gone forever. And then 1988 happened!

Keep the Faith and Modernism will be powerless against you. And in God’s good time, the Modernist Pharisees will become yet another set of forgotten footnotes in the glorious history of Christ’s Church. It is just a matter of time. 

In Christo Rege, Michael J. Matt

VIDEO: "Entryism?" What it is and why the French call it criminal

"Entryism" is a strategy involving the deliberate infiltration of institutions to reshape them from within. We see it all the time as Islamists, Sikhs and other anti-Christian, anti-Western types get themselves elected to our local councils, state/provincial and federal legislatures, and, most dangerously, our school boards. This is how the invaders are taking over our countries.

The French cheese-eating surrender monkeys (who do have a commendable xenophobic streak) have had enough! A recent report identified numerous mosques and community organizations linked to this takeover strategy, the French National Assembly to pass legislation that penalizes efforts to subvert republican institutions. 

As Dr Steve Turley explains in this video, this move represents a historic confrontation with Islamist influence in France, marking a pivotal shift in the country's approach to national security and cultural.integrity.

Can we expect to see similar counter-invasion legislation in the AABC countries? Walt wouldn't bet on anything of the kind being proposed in Not-so-great Britain or Canuckistan, which seem to have given up, but there is hope for Australia, and, as Dr Steve explains, much hope for the United States of America. Let us pray....

Hey, socialist! Grow up!

Your Sikhs today: Queensland, Australia edition

Imagine how long we've waited for a story we could dateline "Toowoomba"! Today we have one, proving (if nothing else) that the US of A and Canada are not the only countries plagued with Sikh immigrants -- legal or otherwise -- who refuse to conform to the social and cultural norms of their host countries. 

The second "A" in the AABC countries -- the first being America -- is Australia, which gets its share (and more) of students and graduates of the internationally notorious Singh School of Truck.

Meet Dharminder Singh, 48, a taxi driver [See? What'd I tell ya! Ed.] accused of killing his former partner four months after the birth. Jana Armstrong, 30, was last seen at a unit on Gordon Avenue in the Toowoomba suburb of Newtown, south-east Queensland, last Tuesday. 

Her white Hyundai Kona was found in the middle of the road on the corner of Jellicoe Street and Gordon Avenue early on Wednesday, sparking a search that came to an end on Saturday night when her body was found by pig hunters in steep bushland an hour's drive north of Toowoomba. 

Mr Singh, a native of India, was arrested on Sunday morning and appeared by video link in Toowoomba Magistrates Court today. He now faces additional charges of arson and breach of bail, proving, if nothing else, that the Australian "justice" system is just as lax and alien-friendly as that of Canada.

Defence lawyer Ramli Salehkon, from Toowoomba Multicultural Legal Services, told the magistrate that his client is too "distressed" to enter a  plea at this time, and will not do so until a brief of evidence was provided to the court. In other words, "He'll place his bet after he sees your cards." Mr Salehkon added, "My client has co-operated with police investigation… [and] asserts his innocence. This matter will be defended."

Was Senator Lindsey Graham assassinated?

They say nothing much happens in North America on summer weekens. [Other than mass shootings at ethnic festivals and street parties. Ed.] This weekend, however, was different.

On Saturday evening, United States Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) died suddenly at the age of 71 after experiencing cardiac arrest at his Washington DC home. RIP, Senator.

The FBI is "assisting local authorities" with their investigation. DC's Office of the Chief Medical Examiner's preliminary finding determined the cause of death to be an aortic dissection due to arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease.

Such things happen. But... although there's a family history of heart disease, the late senator is not known to have had any serious episodes before. He appeared hale and hearty during and immediately after his trip to Kyiv, where he met with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and pushed for increased sanctions against Russia.

Senator Graham's sudden death raises suspicions and speculation about foul play, which the lickspittle media hasten to call "unfounded" and "conspiracy theories". Further microscopic and toxicological testing is pending to finalize his death certificate.

While we are still free to speculate without being dismissed as tin-hat fascists, let us ask who might have wanted Senator Graham killed. 

* Corrupt Ukrainian officials, afraid that their skimming off Western aid will be exposed?

* Vladimir Putin, as a warning to the US of A to stop interfering in his failing attempt to conquer Ukraine?

* The Iranians, as revenge for the killing of their penultimate Supreme Leader?

* Deep State, which still exists, working hard behind the scenes to put their puppets back in power? Would an FBI investigation reveal a Deep State connection? Ha!

* The Democrats, especially the "Social Democrats" now in control of the Party?

* All of the above?!

Walt, for one, is not ready to be told, "Nothing to see here, folks. Go back to your summer sleep." We call for a thorough investigation by a disinterested agency. Walt suggests the Mossad, Israel's national intelligence agency, responsible for foreign espionage, covert operations, and counter-terrorism. Well, why not? Those who have done nothing wrong have nothing to fear!

Your Sikhs today: Canucks order one (1) (only) criminal Singh deported

Canada’s Immigration and Refugee Board (comprised of card-carrying Liberals in need of work) finally said the quiet part out loud on Friday, admitting that extortion gangs who prey on "south Asians", rely on Indians, mostly Sikhs, living in Canada on "temporary" student and work visas.

The totally unsurprising admission came in an explanation for an order of deportation Jashandeep Singh (not exactly as pictured), described as a "bottom-tier" associate of the notorious Lawrence Bishnoi gang in Edmonton.

While the top leaders of the Bishnoi gang were charged with racketeering this week, this Jashandeep Singh -- not to be confused with the dozens of "Jashandeep Singhs" whose pictures may be found on the Internet -- is among the lower-level suspects authorities have opted [not "been pressured"? Ed.] to expel from Canuckistan.

Like many in the Bishnoi gang, Mr Singh came to Canada on a student visa. He said his parents borrowed money to send him to an Edmonton college in 2022 so he could have a brighter future. But he acknowledged he "made a mistake" by joining the gang, where he became a "soldier", subordinate to a mid-level member named Arshdeep Singh.

At his immigration hearing, a police officer testified that Mr Singh was caught on video holding a gun that was used in an extortion shooting in Surrey BC on 19 May 2025. In the footage, Mr Singh aimed the handgun at the head of another Singh man. 

According to police, he was present when the same weapon was fired in Edmonton a few hours later. He later hid the gun so police would not find it. However, a different firearm was later found during a police search of the home he shared with roommates.

Testifying in his defence (with the help of a Punjabi interpreter, of course), Mr Singh denied being a gang member and denied hiding any guns. He said the videos were filmed at Arshdeep Singh's birthday celebration. He said Arsedeep was a friend and they had met at school. He claimed he was intoxicated at the time the videos were recorded, after consuming marijuana gummies, and was only joking around when he picked up Arshdeep’s gun and held it to someone’s head.

However, the IRB said in its decision that Mr Singh was not a credible witness and his statements to investigators contained "numerous inconsistencies." So the deportation order was made. Whether it will actually be carried out is a different question. Walt predicts Jashandeep Singh will still be in Canada a year from now. Lifetime pct .987.

Further reading: "House arrest for temporary resident guilty of sexual assault", Prince George (BC) Citizen, 9/7/26. Karandeep Singh came to Canada from India on a "temporary" visa in 2023 and works as a security guard. He pled guilty to sexual assault and got 170 days house arrest, followed by 18 months probation. Whether or not he will be deported after that... see previous paragraph.

Your Sikhs today: Brampton man vanishes using old Indian rope trick

The Blue Water Bridge is a twin-span international bridge across the St. Clair River, linking Port Huron MI and Point Edward ON. It connects both the I-69 and I-94 in Michigan with the King's Highway 402 in Ontario for a straight and fast shot to Toronto, the de facto capital of Canuckistan.

As we reported in "Your Singhs today", WWW 17/2/26, and "Your Sikhs today", WWW 17/6/26, the bridge is a favourite border crossing point for drug smugglers, mostly of the Sikh persuasion, concealing cocaine, fentanyl and other mind-blowing substances in the nooks and crannies of big rigs operated by companies like Diversity Truck Lines. 

Drug smugglers such as Charanpreet Singh, of Brampton ON [Surprised? Ed.] who was found guilty last February of smuggling $7.5 million (over |$5 million in real money) worth of drugs into Canada on 8 April 2022. 

Mr Singh was sentenced in absentia to 15 years in the rock hockey arena. "In absentia" because, alas and by golly, he cut off his GPS tracker while out on bail [Surprised? Ed.] and fled Canuckistan days before he was to be sentenced. A source says he was last seen at Canadian Tire purchasing a 30-foot length of nylon rope.

Following a two-week trial last year, Superior Court Justice George King convicted Mr Singh of importing 55 kilograms of cocaine and five kilograms of heroin over the Sarnia-area bridge. He also convicted him of possessing those drugs for trafficking. 

As is normal in the ultra-woke Canadian "justice" system, Mr Singh was released on bail of C$55,000 about two weeks after the drugs were discovered. He was permitted to stay out of custody until his sentencing hearing, scheduled for June 24th. But four days before his court date, he allegedly removed his ankle bracelet. 

Peel Regional police tried to find him, but couldn't. Said Inspector Singh (no relation), "It's very difficult because they're all wearing turbans, and when we ask if they're 'Singh', they all say 'Of course." So the Peel coppers obtained a warrant for his arrest for failing to appear and removing the monitor, and referred the matter to the Mounties, who always get their Singh... unless they don't.

Your Sikhs today: "King Singh" to stay in USA another 20 years

Meet Guramrit Singh Sidhu, a Brampton ON man [You were expecting maybe St-Louis-du-Haha? Ed.] and a Sikh. When we last reported on Mr Sidhu (WWW 27/3/26) was known as "the chitta king". In the Punjabi dialect, that means "drug king". 

Sadly (for him), Mr Sidhu has been dethroned, after being sentenced in the US of A to 20 years in the hoosegow. He pled guilty to leading a criminal organization that trafficked drugs worth up to $17 million ($12 million in real money) from the into Canuckistan over a period of just one month, via Diversity Truck Lines.

The 63-year-old Sikh who would be king thumbed his nose at Canadian authorities, but was the lead defendant in an American federal indictment targeting a drug trafficking group. He was the seventh defendant to plead guilty. Others had been sentenced to federal prison terms ranging from more than two years to nine years. 

Mr Sidhu was arrested in January of 2024 and was extradited to the US of A months later. His plea agreement states that King Singh orchestrated the distribution of eight separate drug loads, including 523 kilograms of methamphetamine and 347 kilograms of cocaine from 13 September 2022 to 24 October 2022. 

According to the the US District Attorney's office, "After buying the bulk quantities of cocaine and methamphetamine in the USA, Sidhu arranged for the narcotics transportation into Canada via long-haul semi-trucks [driven by graduates of the Singh School of Truck Driving, no doubt. Ed.] for further distribution.

"Sidhu provided telephone numbers and serial numbers on bills of currency for couriers to use as a ‘token’ for identification purposes during the delivery and transportation of the cocaine and methamphetamine."

The DA's office said Mr Sidhu and his co-conspirators then retrieved the drugs from locations within Canada for further distribution. 

Mr Sidhu should count himself lucky that the judge could consider only the one month of criminal acivity. According to American investigators, his drug trafficking organization operated between September of 2020 and February of 2023.

King Singh will be back on the streets in two years or less. Whether he will be deported to Canada or his native "Khalistan" is unclear, but until then he have to mastermind his business from accommodation provided by American taxpayers.

No-one has done more to divide America than these three men

VIDEO: The enshittification of our society -- why everything is shitty now

Walt's car (yes, I do have one!) is a 2016 gas-powered compact sedan, assembled (but not made) in North America. It cost me $17,000 new, including the extended warranty which I wouldn't have needed if the manufacturer had built a better car to start with.

Extended warranties are like paying in advance for the manufacturer to fix something which they know is going to have to be fixed. Why? Because it's shitty! It was made that way! But I bought the car and, on balance, didn't get totally screwed. I've had nearly 14 years of use out of it with only half a dozen days "in the shop". But now it's got 100,000 miles on it, and I'm in the predicament described at the 3:15 mark of this video.

Another example of why things are getting shittier than ever, because they're planned that way, is the end of support for Windows 10. I'm still using Win10 and refuse to bow to the pressure to "upgrade" to Win11. Bill Gates has too many hooks in me as it is!

Thanks to the Norwegian Consumer Council for drawing attention to and confirming our suspicions about the shittiness of everything! Is there anything we consumers can do about it? I haven't watched the video linked at the end of this video, but I doubt it. Maybe in Norway consumers have more power than in North America. But at least we can voice our objections to "Make itr shitty!" Who knows? Some marketer might just listen... some day....

VIDEO: Firing Line: Wm. F. Buckley Jr: the fight over Catholic Orthodoxy

The crisis within the Roman Catholic Church is not new. The fight to protect the True Faith against modernist novelties and heresy began about 30 seconds after the end of the Second Vatican Council (aka Vatican II). 

The Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX), at the centre of the latest controversy (WWW passim) was founded on 1 November 1970, in Écône, Switzerland, by French Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre. It was established to preserve traditional Catholic theology and the Latin Mass, so to resist the "reforms" of Vatican II. 

Some 10 years later, William F. Buckley Jr., a traditional Catholic (and leading political conservative), invited Michael Davies, Joseph Champlin, and Malachi Martin onto Firing Line, his popular TV show, to discuss the issues and the future of Holy Mother Church. 

Their thoughts resonate clearly today, as the destruction of Holy Mother Church by Her enemies within looms on the horizon. Listen up.

 

Now would be a very good time to pray to "St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our defencc against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits, who prowl through the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen."

Another "Ask someone who's lived under 'democratic socialism'"

A big shoutout from Walt [and Ed.! Ed.] to Agent 10, who is a member of the great Cuban diaspora. 

Of course the Castro clan of kleptomaniacs, unlike the latest shower of "leaders" of the American Dimocrats, don't even pretend to be democratic. When you vote in November, dear American friends, don't be fooled!

VIDEO: Every Traditional Catholic needs to watch this NOW!

Our regular readers will know that Walt is excited -- "incensed" would be a better word -- by the Vatican's purported "automatic excommunication" of the 6 bishops, >700 priests and 10s of 1000s of lay people who belong to and/or support the Society of St. Pius X. 

The SSPX incurred the wrath of Pope Leo XIV and  his chief minion, Carndinal "Tuccio" Fernandez, by consecrating four new bishops on July 1st, without the approval or consent of the Holy See. According to Canon Law, that's illegal. BUT can you punish those involved -- including the innocent laypeople -- by cutting them off from the Sacraments of Holy Mother Church without a formal declaration or any kind of hearing?

Among those saying "NO!" is Michael Matt, editor of The Remnant newspaper and  host of Remnant Underground. See "Michael Matt reacts to the SSPX consecrations", WWW 1/7/26. In his latest video, dropped earlier today, Mr Matt argues that the real story isn't simply about excommunications or canon law. It's about whether the Vatican is at war with Catholic Tradition itself... and whether faithful Catholics will allow themselves to be divided while it happens. 

Dear Catholic reader, whether you attend an SSPX chapel, an FSSP apostolate, the Institute of Christ the King, a diocesan Latin Mass, or none of the above, this message is for you. Watch now... and share it with every Catholic trying to understand what is really happening before the clans of Tradition are divided once again.

Profundity of the year, heard today during a World Cup match

In case you haven't noticed (and why would you?), the FIFA World Cup is being played for at venues all over North America. National teams from the likes of Cabo Verde, Côte d'Ivoire and Chad are showing off their football (which is what foreigners call soccer) skills, providing spectators (Sid and Doris Bonkers) with exciting moments such as this.

"Oooooh! You've stepped on me toes, you 'ave!"

That's way more exciting than golf isn't it? Some TV networks in the US of A and Canada seem to think so, and are spending big bucks to bring us all the drama of The Beautiful Game live and in living colour.

No telecast would be complete without the incessant prattle of play-by-play announcers and their sidekicks, the colour (and sometimes coloured) commentators. For some reason, North American sports channels bring in boatloads of Englishmen to fill those roles, presumably because we are too stupid to understand the subtleties of the game without informative and insightful comments such as this one, heard on Canada's CTV Sports during the Canada v Maroc match.

You can't win if you don't score.

As Johnny Carson used to say to Ed McMahon, "I did not know that!" Well, only three months until hockey season....

Your Sikhs today: Canada-wide "For Brothers" edition

Here's a story that has been widely reported in the lickspittle meeja in the Greater Toronto and Edmonton areas, who have somehow omitted names and pictures or anything other than names that would identify the accused as Sikhs. What follows is the report as published by the Edmonton Police Service.

[The EPS] has arrested Safaldeep Singh, who has suspected ties to an international criminal network known to target South Asian business owners and community members across Canada. 

On 4 May 2026, EPS Patrol officers conducted a traffic stop on a Dodge Charger following reports of dangerous driving. A search of the vehicle incident to arrest led to the seizure of controlled substances and a loaded firearm.

The three occupants, Safaldeep Singh, 22, Sandeep Singh, 28, and Divianshu Divianshu, 22, were arrested and charged with several drug trafficking and firearms related offences. 

Safaldeep Singh has suspected ties to the "For Brothers" gang, an organized criminal network linked to shootings and extortion which targeted South Asian business owners and community members across the Greater Toronto Area, Canada and the USA.

Two search warrants conducted at Safaldeep Singh's residence on 28 May 28 and 23 June 2026 resulted in the seizure of evidence consistent with vehicle re-vinning operations linked to extortion-related crimes. On 23 June 2026, Singh was apprehended and charged with trafficking in property obtained by crime, possession of stolen property and unauthorized possession of a firearm.

He was also arrested on Canada-wide warrants originating in Ontario for conspiracy to commit murder and extortion. After being processed on the EPS charges in Edmonton, he was transferred to Ontario to face the charges on his Canada-wide warrants.

Mr Singh is expected to have been released on bail by the time you read this. You'll notice that there is no mention of how Mr Singh and his co-religionists got into Canuckistan. Could it be that they are students at the notorious Singh School of Truck Driving? It appears that's something that will have to be  investigated by someone else.

Open letter of the Society of St. Pius X to Pope Leo XIV

As promised (and as necessary given the current crisis in the Roman Catholic Church) the Society of St. Pius X, on June 30th, consecrated four new bishops without the approval of the Holy See. For background, see "Letter from Michael Matt re the Society of St. Pius X's intended consecration of new bishops", 30/6/26, includes video. 

The Vatican responded with a decree signed not by Pope Leo XIV but by Cardinal Víctor Manuel "Tuccio" Fernández, the heretic and pervert who serves [serves whom? Ed.] as Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, to excommunicate all the bishops, priests, and religious of the Society of St. Pius X, as well as the faithful who attend SSPX Masses.

Here is the Society's response.

Letter to the Holy Father regarding the Decree of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith

The Superior General To His Holiness Pope Leo XIV 

Ecône, 3 July 2026

Among yourselves, if a father is asked by his son for bread, will he give him a stone? Or for a fish, will he give him a snake instead of a fish? Or if he is asked for an egg, will he give him a scorpion? Why then, if you, evil as you are, know well enough how to give your children what is good for them, is not your Father much more ready to give, from heaven, his gracious Spirit to those who ask him? (Lk XI, 11-13)

Most Holy Father, The notification of the decision taken by the Holy See regarding the Society of Saint Pius X, signed by His Eminence Cardinal Fernández, has reached us and is now a matter of public knowledge.

It appears to us that this decision once more brings to light the profoundly tragic context in which the universal Church finds herself. What the Society of Saint Pius X has done, and will continue to do, is nothing other than an extraordinary initiative for the salvation of souls, amidst the doctrinal and moral confusion into which the Church is plunged. We in no way claim to substitute ourselves for the Church, and we have no ambition other than to remain faithful to her.

In conscience, we did not believe we could evade the moral duty we owe to souls, as we have already explained, both privately and publicly, to Your Holiness.

We had asked for bread, that is to say, a measure of understanding for a sincere case of conscience—an act of fatherhood directed not so much toward the Society of Saint Pius X as toward souls, promising You to form them into true sons of the Roman Church; unfortunately, we received a stone.

We had asked for a fish, that is to say, the possibility of temporarily obtaining the necessary means to continue forming good priests, so that they might pursue their mission of making Our Lord known to souls; unfortunately, we received a serpent.

We had asked for an egg, promising to return it as soon as possible. Indeed, the holy Tradition that we preserve within souls belongs to the Church, our Mother—and not to the Society of Saint Pius X—and we are certain that one day a Pope will wish to employ it for the good of the universal Church; unfortunately, we received a scorpion.

We had asked to be instructed and confirmed in the faith of all time; instead, we have been declared schismatic a second time.

Despite the sanctions levelled against us, the Society of Saint Pius X sincerely renews the promise it has already expressed to Your Holiness. Allow me, in this regard, to freely reiterate what I have previously stated:

"The Society promises You…to devote all its energies to preserving Tradition and placing it at the service of the Church. In doing so, the Society of Saint Pius X does not merely maintain ancient customs; it fosters and preserves priestly vocations, religious vocations, and large, deeply Christian families—in a word, everything that manifests the vitality of the Church, of grace, and of the Catholic faith. Our intention is not to offer the Church a museum of antiquities, but rather the entirety of Tradition: fruitful, a source of spiritual life, embodied and lived out within souls.

...I am certain that one day You yourself, or one of Your successors, will be able and willing to utilise this service, the offering of which, within the Church and for the Church, constitutes our sole reason for being." (Personal letter addressed to His Holiness on 21 November 2025)

But above all, the Society of Saint Pius X promises You today that it will not receive these new sanctions—objectively unjust and invalid—with bitterness or revolt.

These recent condemnations, like those of the past, strike at what we hold most dear: our attachment to our Mother, the Roman Church. Yet, even in this trial, all things must work together for the good of souls and of the Church herself. Therefore, these condemnations compel us to love Holy Church even more, and to provide for her needs with all our strength, now more than ever. For this very reason, the Society of Saint Pius X willingly offers up the suffering caused by these new sanctions for the good of the universal Church and of Your Holiness.

We are certain that one day You yourself, or one of Your successors, will wish to adopt the program of Saint Pius X: "To restore all things in Christ", Instaurare omnia in Christo.

On that day, the Holy Father will discover in the Society of Saint Pius X not a nest of serpents and scorpions, but a small army of loyal sons, ready to do anything to sustain Him in the restoration of all things in Our Lord, and to vindicate before all mankind the imprescriptible rights of Christ the King over all souls and over all nations.

On that day, the Holy Father will discover, with great joy and profound consolation, authentically Catholic souls whose bond with the Church was never founded upon the shifting sands of an ambiguous dialogue, but upon the rock of the faith of Peter.

We ask the Most Holy Virgin Mary to hasten the dawning of that day, and we pray, above all, that Your Holiness may experience this joy and consolation as soon as possible.

In the meantime, if You are able, despite Your recent decision, bless us as Your sons. For us, nothing has changed, and nothing ever will change.

Trusting in Divine Providence, from which nothing is hidden and which reads into the depths of every man's heart,

I remain, Most Holy Father, your most devoted son in the Lord.

To our American readers and friends...

Today, July 4th, we enter the second quarter of the American Millennium. What? Too soon? Too aspirational? Too optimistic? Well, how about this...

Today, July 4th, we are roughly a year and a half into the second presidency of Donald J. Trump. Is America Great Again yet? Errr, maybe we'd better not go there. This 250th anniversary of Independence should be a day which everyone, even those suffering from terminal TDS, can celebrate. So...

Your Sikhs today: Divorce Sikh style

This is NOT our typical "Your Sikhs today" story involving drug smuggling, Diversity Truck Lines and the Singh School of Truck Driving. Rather it is a sad tale of a Sikh couple, Jagpreet Singh (51) and Balwinder Kaur (41)...

...whose marriage ended just six days after Mr Singh landed in Canada, sponsored by Ms Kaur. We should say the late Ms Kaur, as Mr Singh has now been found guilty by a British Columbia court of murdering her. Here's what happened. 

Mr Singh and Mr Kaur were married for over 20 years. They were the parents of two children who grew up in India with their parents. Their daughter moved to Canada as one of the 1000s of "temporary foreign students" welcomed by the Liberal government of former PM Blackie McBlackface. In a typical case of chain migration, Ms Kaur came to Canada in 2022 to "assist" [babysit? Ed.] her daughter.

Mr Singh arrived in mid-March of 2024. He had been in Canuckistan only six days when, on the fateful night, the couple went out to a gurdwara (temple) and later a mall. They returned around 2130, and within the hour Ms Kaur was stabbed. A neighbour arrived at their basement apartment in Abbotsford BC shortly thereafter and saw Ms Kaur motionless in a pool of blood, inside the doorway.

In her judgment, Madame Justice Andrea Ormiston of the BC Supreme Court wrote, "When police entered the home, Mr Singh was a few metres away from her, either seated or kneeling on or near the sofa in the living room." He was arrested immediately, at which time he "had a bump and a minor cut to his forehead that he agreed were caused in the course of his arrest. He also had a small abrasion, or a superficial cut to his left shoulder. Mr. Singh showed no signs of impairment or intoxication, nor was any such thing asserted by him in his evidence."

The police found two bloodied knives in the basement suite, which appeared to be kitchen cutlery, not the kirpan (small dagger) that all Sikh men wear at all time. Expert evidence, wrote the udge "confirms...that there were significant bloodletting events in this basement suite, and a trail of blood between the bathroom and the living room that indicates the source of blood was moving through various spaces in the suite."

In his statement to police, Mr Singh said an argument arose when Ms Kaur told him to get a job. In court, he testified that the conflict began when he "proposed sexual intimacy" (he did not say the actual words used) and was rebuffed by Ms Kaur.

Mr Singh said the dispute continued with him telling her to stay home from work so they could spend time together, but she refused. Judge Ormiston noted that evidence was presented in court that Ms Kaur had made statements indicating she was "afraid of Mr. Singh arriving and that she did not want him to come to Canada."

In court, Mr Singh admitted that the couple had a verbal conflict that turned physical. Wrote the judge, "Mr. Singh says he punched Ms. Kaur in the face.... When she left the room for the kitchen, he says he followed her to apologize and that he had calmed down, but she then brandished a knife." Mr Singh claimed he disarmed his wife and put the knife back in the drawer, but alleged that she continued to swear at him and took a knife out of the drawer a second time. 

He testified that when he made a second attempt to disarm her, "the knife made contact with his shoulder and he became angry. He Singh says he accidentally poked her with the knife in her stomach."

Mr Singh maintained that he had no memory of Kaur receiving fatal injuries, but an autopsy showed that his wife died of significant blood loss caused by seven stab wounds to her neck and chest. Judge Ormiston also noted that Mr Singh mentioned nothing about his wife brandishing a knife when he spoke to the police. Instead, he told them he didn’t know what happened after the argument.

Defence counsel urged the court to find that the accused blacked out with rage during the altercation, so that a conviction for manslaughter rather than murder would be just.The trial evidence focused on the issue of intent, specifically whether the Crown proved beyond a reasonable doubt that Mr Singh had the intent required to be convicted of murder.

Two witnesses testified that Mr Singh told them he had killed Ms Kaur, one testifying that he said, "I finished her off because she was deceiving me."

Judge Ormiston found Mr Singh's testimony "untrustworthy and unreliable [and] incapable of raising any reasonable doubt about murderous intent, about Ms Kaur provoking Mr Singh in the way he described, or about such provocation causing him to suddenly experience an overwhelming loss of control that is legally excusable." As well, on the issue of memory loss, the judge wrote that "there is no basis to find that Mr. Singh perpetrated an unremembered attack on Ms. Kaur."

The case of R v Singh will be back on the court docket on October 19th, by which time a psychiatric assessment is supposed to be completed, and presented as part of a sentencing hearing. Defence counsel is expected to suggest a sentence of less than six months, so that the wife-murdering Mr Singh will not be at risk of deportation.

This is a follow-up to "Letter from Michael Matt re the Society of St. Pius X's intended consecration of new bishops",WWW 30/6/26. The consecrations took place in Switzerland this morning, as promised. On the latest Remnant Underground, Mr Matt asks: What happens now?

 

Mr Matt, like the rest of us traditional Catholics, is waiting for Pope Leo's slipper to drop. Will he blink, or will he drop the excrement-mallet on all those who dare to be Catholic? Stay tuned!!!

Please try to have a happy Canada Day in spite of everything.

VIDEO + Fw: Letter from Michael Matt re the Society of St. Pius X's intended consecration of new bishops, scheduled for tomorrow

Traditional Catholics like YVT are on the edge of their seats [on their knees in prayer, surely. Ed.] waiting to see if Pope Leo XIV will make good on the threat delivered by his minion, Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández, Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, to excommunicate all the bishops, priests, and religious of the Society of St. Pius X, as well as the faithful who attend SSPX Masses, if the Society goes ahead with the consecration of four new bishops without the approval of the Vatican. 

The SSPX is doing this because the Catholic Church -- the church established by Our Lord Jesus Christ while He was here on Earth -- is in crisis. To understand the nature of the crisis, and why this consecration must be done, watch this Remnant Underground video, with Michael Matt, editor of The Remnant newspaper and author of the open letter which we received today and publish below.

 

Michael Matt writes:

The night before the SSPX has long-since planned to consecrate bishops and the very day that they have welcomed 30,000 faithful to Econe to witness the liturgical ceremony, Pope Leo – who has evidently refused to meet with the Superior General of the SSPX, despite multiple filial requests – is NOW suggesting he’s "open to dialogue".

Pope Leo’s letter reads in part: "I beg and implore you with all my heart: turn back! I urge you to carefully consider the spiritual good of the faithful, for the schismatic act you would commit would deprive them of the lawful -- and in some cases even valid -- reception of the sacraments they love and seek for their own sanctification. The Church is open to a path of dialogue and understanding that the Holy Spirit can make possible and fruitful. I pray for you, for tearing the seamless Tunic of Christ is a sin of the utmost gravity."

This is a wonderful example of pre-emptive damage control and papal hubris. But what about the Vatican's role in tearing the "seamless tunic" to shreds by throwing us out of our churches, depriving our children of the only Mass they've ever known, leaving the Catholic schools in such chaos that we are obliged to educate our children at home?

What about the clerical sex scandals that have rocked the Church ever since our children can remember? What has the Holy See actually done about that? Father Rupnick's "artwork" is still disfiguring the facades of cathedrals all over Europe, as if to announce that, once again, the Vatican cares nothing about the victims of priestly sexual abuse.

What about the liturgical insanity that first forced faithful Catholics to drive for hours on Sunday mornings in search of something that looks vaguely Catholic, and then ultimately led to empty pews and churches closing everywhere?

What about the millions of young people who have simply walked out of the Church forever, so tired are they of a largely homosexualized priesthood and a completely emasculated liturgy?

The nuns are mostly gone. The schools are mostly closed. The churches that are still open are mostly celebrating gay pride. And the crisis in the Church is so serious that even Pope John Paul called it the "silent apostasy". Surely, the Holy Father can't be serious that WE are to blame for the abuse we've endured at the hands of our spiritual fathers.

How badly does His Holiness think we're suffering from Stockholm Syndrome that just a couple of years after Traditionis Custodes – when the Vatican ruthlessly ripped the Latin Mass out of our lives and in effect told our kids to go to hell – we'd now be ready to hear a papal lecture about how the SSPX is responsible for tearing the seamless garment by establishing scattered oases of Catholic water and life in the middle of the spiritual desert that the Vatican has made out of our beloved Catholic Church?

No, Holy Father, we beg YOU – do not do this! Do not expel one of the few orders of faithful heterosexual priests left – priests who have remained true to the Faith of our fathers and who are far more concerned about the souls of our children than about celebrating LGBT outreach here in the Month of the Sacred Heart.

We have been abused by the Vatican long enough, Holy Father. We have had enough of Vatican abuse and apostasy scandalizing our children. Please, for God's sake and the sake of our children, stop this madness! 

In Christo Rege, 

Michael J. Matt

MUSIC VIDEO: Gilbert & Sullivan's "Trial By Jury" - Opera Australia

Walt is a hyuge fan of Gilbert and Sullivan, a Victorian-era theatrical partnership of the dramatist William Schwenk Gilbert and composer Arthur Sullivan. The two Englishmen ["For they are both Englishmen!" Ed. (singing)] collaborated on fourteen comic operas between 1871 and 1896, of which H.M.S. Pinafore, The Pirates of Penzance and The Mikado are the best known.

One of their earlier collaborations -- the second, in fact -- is Trial By Jury, a short (just over half an hour) but excellent operetta which includes some of the fine choral music for which Sir Arthur preferred to be remembered. I like it for that even more than for the extended joke about the law and the lawyers.

The G&S operettas are rarely performed these days in Once-great Britain (see previous post) of the North American ex-colonies. They are regarded as old-fashioned, racist (especially The Mikado), colonialist, and all else that is politically incorrect. Fortunately for those who appreciate British humour as well as fine music, Opera Australia staged a revival in 2005, which included this fine modern-dress production of Trial By Jury. Enjoy.

 

Some of you may be confused (as I was) by the music and characters included in the curtain call. As nearly as Ed. can determine, Trial By Jury was presented as an encore to H.M.S. Pinafore, hence the appearance of Little Buttercup, Captain Corcoran and other characters from that operetta, which can also be found on YouTube.

All you need to know about Once-great Britain

As the Irishman sez (grinning), "Britain is fecked." The Islamic invaders have overrun the Septic Isle. The British elites are begging for mercy. Sir Keith Stammer, for one, says that he welcomes the new overlords, and is resigning his position to make way for someone more agreeable to the mullahs. It's all very sad.

Your Sikhs today: Surrey BC edition

Meet Arman Singh (left) and Simarjeet Singh, members of Surrey BC's large and growing Sikh community. They have been arrested and charged after a brazen early morning shooting in Surrey on June 11th.

According to Inspector Singh (no relation) of the Surrey constabulary, his minioins were called shortly after 0600 to a home near 96 Avenue and 133A Street after reports that shots were fired. When officers arrived, they could see the damage to the exterior of the home. While people were inside, no one was injured.

Surrey's Extortion Response Team (ExRT) took the lead on the investigation and on June 12th, they executed a search warrant at two homes in Surrey. Four men were arrested during the execution of the warrants. 

Arman Singh, 21, has been charged with one count of reckless discharge of a firearm. Simarjeet Singh, 22, has been charged with one count of reckless discharge of a firearm. Police said both men remain in custody and as both are foreign (read: Indian) nationals, officers have contacted the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) to find out how they got into Canuckistan. [Possibly students at the notorious Singh School of Truck Driving? Ed.]

The other two men arrested have not been charged with criminal offences at this time and are currently in the custody of CBSA who are giving them directions to the driver examination centere and welfare office.

Related statistics to ponder 

On Thursday, CBSA released new numbers, saying that since mid-June, they have opened 150 immigration investigations in the Pacific region, and issued 69 removal orders. Surprisingly, 49 people have actually been removed from Canada so far. 

Canada's Minister of Public Safety, Hon. Gary Anandasangaree (no relation) told the meeja that "Canadians deserve to feel safe in their homes, workplaces and communities. The government of Canada is working hard to stay ahead of increasingly complex international criminal threats like extortion." 

So far this year, Surrey police have received 128 extortion-related reports, including 20 shootings. Staff Sgt Singh told Global News, "Those numbers have thankfully come down a significant amount, where we are only seeing one or two shootings a month, but that is still one or two too many."

Walt sez: One or two Singhs is too many.

Approved by Elon Musk, coming soon to WWW: "Citizen Vigilante"

Citizen Vigilante has gone viral following intense attempts by Forces for Good (read: bleeding heart liberals and pro-immigration one-worlders) to ban the film. Here's the trailer.

It's a Uwe Boll film, starring Armie Hammer, about very controversial current events. Need we say more? Ed. is working on the download now and hopes to have it ready for you to view later today.

What is so rare as a Special Day in June

A Special Day in June is actually not that rare. The month of June is replete with Special Days of various kinds, commemorating or promoting Special Things and things that (IMHO) are Not So Special. There is one, however, which we do like to celebrate.

Saint-Jean-Baptiste is the patron of the province of Québec and French Canada. À tous nos lecteurs d'expression française: Bonne fête!

Here are some other Special Days you may have missed.

Yell "Fudge" at the Cobras in North America Day (June 2nd): Supposedly created so North Americans can shout the word "fudge" to keep venomous cobras away (despite cobras not being native to the continent). 

Impersonate Authority Day (June 3rd): A highly questionable day that encourages people to act like they are in charge, though you should probably skip trying this one on law enforcement. 

Repeat Day (June 3rd): A day designed to do things twice, a day designed to do things twice. 

National Gardening Exercise Day (June 6th): Celebrated by explicitly treating your backyard weeding and lawn mowing as an intense, high-performance athletic workout. (Walt likes this one.)

Upsy Daisy Day (June 8th): A day entirely dedicated to getting out of bed with a ridiculously positive attitude and a spring in your step. 

National Kiss a Wookiee Day (June 15th): A bizarrely specific, sci-fi-themed pop culture day urging Star Wars fans to show affection to their favourite fictional, hairy bipedal species. 

No Orange Clothes Day (June 16th): A mysterious day where the internet collectively decides that wearing the colour orange is completely forbidden. Canadian readers may have a different interpretation of this one.

International Panic Day (June 18th): An unhinged antidote to mental wellness days that encourages you to just let go and fully freak out over your daily stressors.

World Wide Hollerin' Festival (June 20th): An observance meant to preserve the historical, traditional art of loud vocal "hollerin'" used as communication before telephone lines existed.

Pink Flamingo Day (June 23rd): This day honors the iconic, tacky, plastic pink lawn ornaments invented in 1957. 

Cat World Domination Day (June 24th): A day coming up tomorrow that officially acknowledges what feline owners already know—our cats completely rule the house.

That's enough Special Days. Ed.

A very Florida story: Vicious pickle-ball player charged with assault

Meet Michele Bannister, 47, of St. Augustine FL. Ms Bannister, who appears to be something of a "tiger mom", was arrested at Treaty Park on May 31st after she allegedly struck an unnamed man "several times" in the head with a pickleball paddle after the victim criticized her son's style of play.

According to an affidavit obtained by Law&Crime, the alleged incident started when a match between Ms Bannister and the man turned heated over the retrieval of a ball. When the game was over, the man allegedly approached Ms Bannister's unnamed son to "critique" his playing style, which enraged the boy's mom.

Upon hearing the man allegedly confront her son, Ms Bannister "interjected herself" into the spat and got physically violent with her opponent. According to court documents, Ms Bannister, who is a local family nurse practitioner, left the man with multiple bloody cuts to his face. . 

Ms Bannister works for James M. Grimes, MD Orthopedics in St. Augustine, according to the company's website. Her profile says that before she was a nurse practitioner, Ms Bannister worked as a critical care nurse for 13 years, her profile said. She was also a helicopter mechanic in the Marine Corps. She's been described as an 'active mom' who enjoys participating in sports with her children.

Ms Bannister was released from jail after posting an $8000 bond and is set to appear in court on July 28th. Her lawyer, Rosemarie Peoples of the Smith & Eulo law firm, told the outlet that Ms Bannister's "heroic" actions were necessary in order to protect her son. "Michele Bannister is a mom, nurse, and model citizen," said her attorney. "She is wrongly accused of a crime; her actions were needed to stop a violent attempt to attack her young son. I expect that a jury of her peers will fully exonerate her heroic efforts to defend her child."

UPDATED: "Allahu akbar!" à Montréal? Errr, not exactly

The headline is pure speculation. The gunman who shot dead a civilian and a policeman today in Montréal's mainly Jewish Côte-des-Neiges ghetto neighbourhood may have been a Muslim. Or he may have been some other kind of anti-Semite. Or someone who decided to kill a few people regardless of their ethnicity or faith.

First the facts, then our questions. Just before noon EDT, Montréal police were called to the scene pictured above near the intersection of Trans-Island Ave. and Ave. de Courtrai, near the Supermarché PA on Westbury Ave. A man dressed in camo gear and armed with a "long gun" killed a civilian and a cop. A second cop, a woman, was wounded. The shooter was also shot dead.

The "armed threat" alert issued for the Côte-des-Neiges area was lifted around 1515. as "the immediate threat to the public is no longer present." Although officers on the scene initially told The Gazette they were searching for a possible second suspect, Service de police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM) Chief Fady Dagher later said he believes there was only one suspect involved in the shootings. 

The buildings in the area house condos, rental units, offices and commercial spaces, and are also home to many Jewish residents, many of whom reported numerous antisemitic incidents since the 7/10/23 attacks in Israel, including mezuzahs being knocked from doorways in the complex. 

More recently, the social-media account Leviathan identified a Montréal man who allegedly praised Hitler and threatened Jewish Montréalers, raising further alarm on Jewish social-media platforms. Police had not confirmed that the shooting was directed at the Jewish community, nor would Chief Dagher confirm who was responsible for killing the civilian victim. 

He urged the public and media outlets not to circulate graphic images, rumours or unconfirmed information. "Be very careful of rumours," he said. "The event that concerns us today has been neutralized. What motivated him is still unclear."

Well (Walt sez), what else could he say? Dead men, of which the shooter is one, tell no tales. The cops know his identity of course, but are keeping shtum about his ethnicity, his status in Canada ("refugee"? asylum-seeker? illegal alien?) and his religion (if any). Was it a hate crime? Or terrorism? Or both? Forgive us if we jump to a conclusion. If anything that suggests a possible motive is ever divulged by the politically correct authorities, we'll let you know.

UPDATE ADDED 23/6/26 at 0625 FMT: The man accused of killing a Montreal police officer in the city's heavily Jewish Côte-des-Neiges neighbourhood before being shot dead by police left behind a 104-page manifesto filled with explicit antisemitism, anti-Zionist rhetoric, Communist ideology, and grievances commonly associated with the online "incel" movement.

The manifesto repeatedly attacks Jews and Zionists, claiming there are "many Jews" within the Western ruling class and stating that the author sometimes refers to it as the "Judaeo-bourgeois class." 

A copy of the document obtained by Rebel News further alleges that "the influence of Zionist Jews upon the western bourgeoisie is in fact so strong" that it has shaped Western society itself, and goes on to assert that "Jewish interests dominate the levers of finance, media, and politics," describing this alleged influence as "pervasive and corrosive."

British PM Starmer resigns! What could possibly have gone wrong?

You won't be surprised, I'm sure, to learn that the image above was scraped from the Babylon Bee. Where else? Click here to read the Bee's version of the story. Then read on for Walt's comment.

Sir Keir Starmer, Prime Minister of the Disunited Kingdom resigned this morning after coming under mounting pressure from his own Labour Party. Questions are surfacing about what led to his decision to step down.

The threat to Mr Stormer's leadership, which had been building for months, increased ​sharply last Friday when Andy Burnham, the mayor of Greater (?) Manchester, won a parliamentary election to return to Westminster, beating ⁠a candidate from Nigel Farage's Reform ⁠UK party, which has led national opinion polls for more than a year.

The feckless Labour leader's fall from grace is directly attributable (IMHO) to the abject failure of Mr Starm and his pinko Labour government to deal with the fact that Once-great Britain has been overrum by Islamist hordes who are a law unto themselves, protected by the government and by police who now operate under a two-tier system -- white Anglo-Saxon Britons being on the lower rung of the ladder.

Nowhere is this more evident than in Manchester, where "Manchester rape gangs" have for decades been responsible for highly publicized child sexual exploitation and grooming gang scandals, most notably in towns like Rochdale, Oldham, and Bolton. 

These networks of Islamic immigrants from Pakistan and Bangladesh systematically targeted, groomed, and sexually abused vulnerable teenage girls (usually) for years, while police and other "authorities", including those charged with protecting children, have looked the other way and tried to pretend that it wasn't just a Muslim thing. Voters know the truth of it. Changing captains on the Labour Titanic isn't going to help.
