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.

However, if Elon Musk can get away with it, why can't Walt?! Let's wait and see.

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.

Your Sikhs today: Old Halifax druggie tries to murder his mother

Pictured above -- the one on the left -- is 58-year-old Satrajpal Singh Rai, a resident of Halifax NS, who seems to have problems with mind-altering substances and (perhaps) something of an Oedipus complex. He was convicted this week of attempting to murder his elderly mother by attacking her with a machete.

Mr Rai was held in custody since he was arrested just inside the door of a South Park Street apartment on 3 April 2024. When apprehanded shortly after midnight, he still had the machete in his hands, and his 80-year-old mother was on the hallway floor, covered in blood. Harbhajan Rai was so badly injured that responding officers at first thought she was dead. 

Mr Rai was charged with attempted murder, which, like murder requires a specific intent to kill. At his trial last year, the accused testified at trial last year that he was too impaired by cocaine and cannabis to be able to form that intent. Rather unusual for someone who was 56 years old at the time.

He conceded that he attacked his mother but said that at the time, he thought he was fending off a demonic being or entity that wanted to hurt him. He hadn't slept in three days, he said, and was lying on his mother’s bed when he heard voices outside the bedroom. When he rolled over, he saw the entity standing beside him holding a machete. 

But wait (as Vince Offer used to say), it gets better [or worse. Ed.] He said the entity had hair like Medusa, reptilian skin and yellow fangs for teeth. No wonder he didn’t recognize it was his mother! Mr Rai said the entity asked him a series of questions and he could not make out who it was. Fearing for his life, he said he grabbed the machete and began swinging.

He recalled moving into the hallway, falling down and scrambling to get up in fear that he would be killed. He told the court that he was yelling for help and trying to get to the door. He indicated that he was able to open the door, but that it started to swing closed. He then observed the police burst through the door. 

On cross-examination, Mr Rai admitted that as he swung the machete at the entity, which he now knows was his mother, he said, "Just die!" over and over again, like the alien in Independence Day. The Crown introduced evidence that about half an-hour before the assault, Mr Rai sent a text to his ex-wife in Dartmouth that said, "Pray for me and my mother." At trial, he swore that the text did not have a violent meaning but was just a request to pray that he and his mother would get through the worst of her schizophrenic conditions.

Judge Chris Manning said, "Mr Rai is indeed fortunate that the police arrived no later than they did, and a brilliant trauma team was assembled to save Mrs Rai’s life," said Hizzoner. The accused was the primary caregiver for his mother, who suffers from dementia, schizophrenia and memory loss. "She was the victim of a horrendous, brutal attack committed by her son...in the apartment that they shared. He utilized a machete, and the savagery and force ...resulted in massive injuries, including deep lacerations to her head and body, fractured bones, loss of teeth, and fingers were cut from her hands."

The judge stopped just short of calling bullshit on Mr Rai's defence, and found the drug-addled Sikh guilty of attempted murder, aggravated assault and assault with a weapon. He was sentenced only on the attempted murder charge. Mr Rai expressed remorse for his actions in his presentence report and in his plea to the court. The judge thought a sentence of 18-years in prison sentence would adequately address denunciation and deterrence while not losing sight of the possibility of rehabilitation. [sic!]

He deducted 1203 days as credit for remand time, leaving Mr Rai with a net sentence of about 14 years and 8.5 months before he can become, once again, the kind of citizen (or at least resident) which the Liberal government thinks make Canada a better place. As Emperor Trudeau II famously said, "Diversity is our strength".

If she's lucky, Mrs Rai will be 96 when her son gets out. No worries until then.

In the meantime, our friend Johnny Canuck would like to know: How did a drug-user like Mr Singh Rai and his aged and infirm mother get into Canada? As a "temporary foreign student" perhaps? Or a "temporary foreign worker"? Or maybe a "refugee" or asylum-seeker? How long have these parasites been in Canuckistan? Who supports them? No prizes for guessing the answer to the last question.

VIDEO: Victor Davis Hanson: "Tribal fatigue" is destroying America

"When you say your racial identity is essential to who you are rather than incidental, then you've got the ingredients for tribal warfare." So says Victor Davis Hanson in the latest episode of the Daily Signal. 

Increasingly, the word "white" is being used as a pejorative. All day, every day, we "palefaces" are being made to feel guilty about being white. In this video, Mr Hanson analyzes what's going on, and what it means for the future of our nation.

Racial preferences and identity-based politics have weakened social cohesion instead of strengthening it. A society built around shared values, assimilation, and equal treatment under the law is being replaced by a growing focus on group identity and grievance. That's the sad truth of "the Anglosphere" today.

Best US "victory" meme seen so far...

...today! As predicted, the Netisphere has been flooded with memes mocking the declaration by POTUS and his acolytes that the MoU signed this week to agree on discussing an agreement to end the US-Iran war represents a "victory" for America. The best one we've seen so far today comes from the Babylon Bee [where else? Ed.]

VIDEO: Can you trust AI to answer your questions correctly?

IMHO, Bob Elliott and Ray Goulding, aka "Bob and Ray", were the greatest American broadcast satirists of the 20th century. Their career spanned five decades, most of it in radio in the Boston-New York area, with a few forays into TV.

The duo's format typically satirized the medium in which they were performing, for example conducting radio or television interviews, with off-the-wall dialogue presented in a generally deadpan style as though it were a serious broadcast.

In 1984, Bob and Ray took their act to Broadway, starring in "The Two and Only". Directed by Joseph Hardy, the show was a theatrical celebration of their classic radio and television sketches, featuring iconic parodies, soap opera spoofs, and character interviews. Walt will never forget seeing them live and in-person.

Many of Bob and Ray's skits were prescient, poking fun at institutions, politicians and sacred cows years before the general public realized that those emperors had no clothes. One example was their send-up of the Army-McCarthy hearings. 

Another is this radio interview which aired in the early `60s, in which their award-winning reporter Wally Ballou (Bob) puts to the test the computer invented by Dr Matthew E. Pulcifer (Ray) which its creator said would use previously input information to answer simple questions. This was before the terms "artificial intelligence" or "AI" had been coined. Did it work? Listen and learn.

Babylon Bee reacts to release of details of Iran peace pact

As a public service, and to confirm that Walt isn't the only one who doesn't think anything much has been resolved by the MoU signed by POTUS which is supposed to end (kind of) the US-Iran war (see "Is it over yet? Really?" WWW 17/6/26), we present links to two articles which appeared today in the Babylon Bee (your trusted source for Christian satire).

Your Sikhs today: Blue Water Bridge edition

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.

The border crossing point into Canada, being notoriously under-staffed by the Canadian Border Services Agency, has become the entry point of choice for drug smugglers concealing cocaine, fentanyl and other mind-blowing substances in the nooks and crannies of big rigs operated by such companies as Diversity Truck Lines.

As you would expect, most of the truck drivers are students or graduates of the infamous Singh School of Truck Driving. Many of them are in the USA/Canada illegally. Many of them have driver's licences which are fake or obtained by bribery. Many of them do not speak or read English. Almost all of them, being Sikhs, have "Singh" as part or all of their names. All of them are a menace on the roads. 

Case in point: Postmedia reports that 133 pounds of cocaine headed for Canada were intercepted recently by the US Customs and Border Protection’s Office of Field Operations near the aforementioned bridge. CBP officers, after selecting a truck for inspection, discovered 55 shrink-wrapped bricks of a white powdery substance concealed within two cardboard boxes. The cargo was later confirmed to be cocaine. 

The drugs, truck and trailer have all been seized and the driver, an Indian national, is facing federal prosecution. His name was not released but your dollar gets  you 100 of Walt's if you can prove it isn't Singh. Send your bet to the usual address.

Another case in point: Yesterday, in a courtroom in nearby Sarnia ON, another turban-wearing trucker accused of smuggling $4 million in cocaine across the Blue Water Bridge testified that someone must have done something evil while he was in the washroom in a company yard for 10 to 15 minutes.

Ranjit Singh saw a mysterious man in a company truck yard while his trailer was unattended. Mr Singh, also an Indian national, pleaded not guilty this month to importing cocaine and possessing cocaine for trafficking.

On 26 April 2024, the CBSA discovered over 18 pounds of cocaine worth between $3.6 million and $4.8 million in two Home Depot boxes in a tractor-trailer on the Canadian side of the bridge.

Speaking through a Punjabi interpreter [See? What did I tell ya?], Mr Singh claimed he was told to go to a trucking company’s yard in Lansing MI and switch trucks with another driver. The switch never happened, but while he was there and the two drivers got food, he saw a third person in the yard neither of them knew. He couldn’t describe the man because it was dark at the time.

Mr Singh testified he went to the washroom there for 10 to 15 minutes [Perhaps he needed a laxative?] and couldn't see the back of his trailer during this time. When he returned, he didn't check the seals on his trailer before leaving. 

He didn’t dispute that drugs were found in the truck but claimed someone else put them there in the Home Depot boxes. Nor did he know about two duffel bags found in the truck. He also denied having financial troubles and swire that no-one [especially no-one named Singh or Wedding] approached him about bringing the dope over the border. The trial continues.

Is it over yet? Really?

Like you, dear reader, Walt has been holding his breath [and his tongue. Ed.] waiting for some resolution to the war declared by the United States of America on the Islamic Republic of Iran. Let's not shy away from calling it what it is.  

I was hoping for someting like the raising of the Stars and Stripes over Kharg Island, but that doesn't look like happening. What we have instead is a Memorandum of Understanding -- not a peace treaty, not an agreement, just an MoU -- the contents of which will be revealed on Friday when the scrap of paper is to be signed in Geneva.

The intent, we're told, is to put an end to the present situation which is neatly summed up in this cartoon scraped from PatriotPost.

Mark Carney, Prime Minister of Canuckistan, weighed in yesterday from the G7 gabfest on the likelihood of lasting peace (or anything like it) being achieved  He said the conflict, which has cost entire world trillions of dollars, directly and indirectly, would be "worth it" if it means Iran does not have a nuclear weapon. That's a pretty big "if"!

Mr Carnage told the Clinton News Network "I've always believed that [Iran is] the biggest exporter of terror. It was hell-bent, sorry if I can say that, on getting a nuclear weapon, and the force multiplier on that was terrible." 

Later he added, "Lots needs to happen. We all have to support (the deal). But moving to this position, where that’s been taken off the table. Yes, that’s worth it."

The deal he referred to, announced by POTUS on the weekend, so far is nothing more than the extenension of the existing ceasefire for another 60 days, during which all sides will negotiate details of a final agreement. In other words, the US of A and Iran have agreed to agree, after further negotiation.

Further details of the MoU, which Vice-President Vance described as "about a page and a half" have yet to be released publicly. The Canuck PM (who is, let's not forget, one of the senior members of the Davos gang) said he has seen the deal, which he called it a "game-changer. I have to say it's exceeded my expectations. We’re very pleased with the deal that’s been struck."

He added, "It sets the groundwork to ensure Iran doesn’t have a nuclear weapon. It sets the groundwork for a reintegration over time of the economies in the region. It sets the groundwork for a solution in Lebanon, which we discussed today. So, it's positive." Pressed by CNN for further details, Carney said it is "well-structured" and performance-based with financial incentives. In other words, it's good for world trade and the New World Order.

Before Mr. Carnage and the his European cronies get in a circle for some fellatory activity, they should listen to Iran's top diplomat, who said yesterday that the deal would require Israel to withdraw from Lebanon, which Israel has already said it will not do. And there's bound to be a lot more of the devil in the details of the MoU, which Iran will surely use as an excuse to renege on the agreement to discuss an agreement. Walt sez: We're far from home and dry. No need to stay tuned. Lifetime pct .967.

Nederlanders! It's your country! Come out to hear Geert Wilders at Didam, Wednesday evening, June 17th

Geert Wilders, leader of the Dutch Party for Freedom (PVV), who wrote "When Our Cities Resemble Warzones, We Have to Reclaim Our Streets",  reposted on WWW earlier today,  is coming to Didam on Wednesday evening, June 17th for a large gathering to protest the planned opening of an asylum- seekers' centre. 

According to the organizers, it will be the largest protest to date against the project in the municipality of Montferland. The municipality intends to accommodate a maximum of 250 asylum seekers. The action group "No asylum-seekers' centre in Montferland" has been campaigning for weeks against the arrival of the reception facility.

The protest will take place on Wednesday evening, June 17th, in Didam. According to initiator Ton van den Aarssen, the new gathering will be larger than previous actions. "[This is] the sixth," he says "but this time it will be bigger, with Geert Wilders."In addition to Mr Wilders, several local speakers are on the programme. 

After the speeches, the organizers plan to hold a protest march through the village. According to Mr van den Aarssen, "It is difficult to predict how many people will be present. I can't look into a crystal ball, but we are going to invite local action groups from the Achterhoek. However, many villagers are hesitant."

He said the decision to invite Mr Wilders was made deliberately due to his outspoken stance on asylum reception. "Who else in the Netherlands is so outspoken against an asylum-seekers' centre?"

PVV's publicity for the event shouts. "We won't bow. To anyone. This is the Netherlands, our country!"

PVV leader Geert Wilders: We have to reclaim our streets!

Geert Wilders is the leader of the Partij Voor de Vrijheid (PVV) (Party for Freedom) and Vice-President of the Parliament of the Netherlands. He contributed this article to Breitbart News. The emphasis in the final paragraph is Walt's.

Following a football match, rioters in Paris went on a rampage in the French capital, looting shops setting cars on fire, attacking, even firing at police officers. 

Videos and television footage showed that many rioters had an immigrant background. It is a scene Europeans have become all too familiar with – not just in France, but all over the continent. 

In the past decades, Europe’s ruling elites have allowed millions of immigrants from Africa and the Islamic world to settle in our midst. Some of them hate their host country to the extent that they want to destroy it. They loot and vandalize, assault and rape, and even murder.

Leading politicians – such as Emmanuel Macron in France, Rob Jetten in my own Netherlands, Ursula von der Leyen in Brussels, and many others in their ivory towers – think that people do not notice what is going on. But they do notice, and they are deeply worried. They want the chaos to stop. They also realize the root cause of our societal break-down: Mass immigration by people who contribute absolutely nothing to our societies and reject our cultural values. 

While our cities begin to resemble war zones, our governments continue their march of folly. In my country, the authorities want to force literally every municipality in the Netherlands to house a quota of asylum seekers. These fortune seekers, many of whom are young men, are being lodged in hotels, holiday resorts, former schools, former army barracks, even on cruise ships.

I have called on the Dutch people to resist – firmly, but always in a non-violent manner – the establishment of centres for asylum seekers in their neighbourhoods. I have recently begun a nation-wider resistance tour, visiting local communities where the authorities are planning new asylum centres.

The response has been overwhelming. The mainstream media do not report on the protests because the demonstrators are peaceful and law-abiding. It is not our people who go rampaging in the streets, ravaging their neighbourhoods! We are not conquerors like the thugs in the streets of Paris; we defend our homes. We do not destroy our communities; we love them. 

We do not loot our neighbours; we protect them. We do not harass and attack our women; we stand up for them. It all boils down to the culture of love that drives the patriots defending Europe, versus the culture of hatred that drives those eager to to destroy it.

Societies cannot exist without a shared set of moral values. Since the 1970s, governments, aided by supranational organizations such as the EU and various UN bodies, have begun to impose a doctrine of relativism and multi-culturalism, opening Europe’s doors to literally millions of foreigners who have little in common with us. As a result, Europe has slowly transformed into Eurabia. 

No one can deny that the neighbourhoods with the largest concentrations of Islamic newcomers are the most prone to violence. Mass immigration by people from cultures that have not been shaped by the basic forces of European civilization has eaten away at law and order, the foundation of our free societies.

Mass immigration has also created a new electorate for political parties. The “mainstream” parties actively search for the Islamic vote. This phenomenon has become increasingly important because the Islamic population has continuously grown, thereby becoming a power broker in elections. 

Political parties compete with each other by giving in to Islamic demands, such as an anti-Israeli foreign policy, the prosecution of so-called "Islamophobic" individuals, and the abandonment of entire neighbourhoods to Islamic gangs, which the police are instructed not to "provoke."

It is urgent that patriotic politicians organize a national wave of peaceful resistance. We demand an immediate asylum stop, encouragement of remigration, and compulsory remigration of criminal migrants. Europe is still ours. If we want to keep it that way, we have to rise up en masse. Non-violently but firmly and with determination, we have to reclaim our streets. If we do, we can still win. The time to act is now.

What does Islam really teach about homosexuality?

You know how people say you can't be homosexual and still be a follower of the Prophet? And other liberal people say that's a lie made up by right-wingers such as your obedient servant? Check out "A practical guide for Muslims on how to navigate LGBTQ Pride month".

That allegedly homophobic guide helping Muslims navigate through Pride Month, was published by 5Pillars, a prominent Muslim news organization known in Broken Britain for supporting the Green Party and other forms of wokeism. But gay culture, it seems, is strictly haram!

The short “practical” guide for Western Muslim invaders emphasizes that, according to Islamic texts and scholars, both homosexual acts and same-sex marriage are forbidden and immoral. 

Although it states that same-sex attraction, being involuntary, is not inherently sinful, it encourages homosexual Muslims to seek conversion therapy because acting on their desires is "religiously prohibited." Homosexuality is framed as an affliction that calls for "compassion without compromise."

Good Islamic parents are advised to monitor their children's information diet -- the information, misinformation and disinformation kids get through schools, social media or pop culture -- and to "neutralize" LGBT-friendly messages through Islamic teaching.

5Pillars bills itself as "the largest English-language Muslim news site in Europe, Australia and the Americas". If they have even half the hundreds of thousands of followers they claim, 5Pillars is definitely not a fringe voice.

In related news: The wokesters at the University of Western Ontario in London (ON -- not the big one) have got their pink knickers all in a twist when followers of the Prophet compained about this image posted on social media, which shows four couples -- none of them straight and white -- including two women in the traditional Muslim hijab, about to share a kiss. 

The image drew fierce criticism from some Muslims, which Western acknowledged in a message issued yesterday announcing why they'd removed the post. "Our intent with the post was to demonstrate Western's unwavering support for the 2SLGBTQ+ community on the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia," the post said. 

"We also understand the image was upsetting for some members of the Muslim community." UWO statement went on to say that the post was intended to trigger discussions about how to support queer Muslims. "In order to promote that discussion, we have removed the image from the post to not distract from these important conversations."

A post on The Change.org describes the image of two women wearing the hijab and about to kiss as "offensive." The text goes on to say that the post uses the image of two Muslim women in a way that is insensitive and overtly sexual. "The depiction of the hijab in such a context is disrespectful, tokenizing, and attempting to redefine elements of the hijab by sexualizing and fetishizing an element of Islamic religion that is supposed to desexualize and encapsulate modesty."

A statement issued by the London Council of Imams also supported the decision to have the post taken down. "While we understand that the intent of the poster published on by May17.org is to promote inclusion, we can see that the goal was not met and the means used were contrary to inclusion. Many were left with the impression that Muslims were singled out in having a symbol of their religion included in the poster." The statement went on to say that posting the image led to "hateful comments" being directed at Muslims. "We unequivocally reject any hateful statement directed toward any religion or group based on their religion, culture, ethnicity, and/or sexual orientation." 

But wait, there's more. The headline on Canadian website CP24 reads: "Pride flag burned at Markham school, 2 suspects facing charges". York Region police say two suspects are facing charges in a "potentially hate-motivated incident" that saw a Markham ON school's Pride flag burned.

The coppers responded to an unnamed school located near Yonge Street and Clark Avenue in Markham on Tuesday for reports that the flag had been burned. Investigators determined that two suspects attended the school a day earlier at approximately 2300 and removed the flag from its holder, ripped it, and attempted to set it on fire.

Walt doesn't understand how such an act can be "potentially" hate-motivated. Is that like being "potentially pregnant"? Seems to me an act either is or is not hate-motivated. Perhaps it's a question of proof, rather than jumping to conclusions.

But wait. The two 18-year-old suspects have now been identified as Sepehr Abadar and Mahan Mohammad Radmard, both of Markham, both former students of the school. The young Mohammedans have each been charged with mischief under $5000, and police have now deleted the "potentially" from their account of the incident. A spokesthingy told the meejua "York Regional Police takes all hate-motivated incidents seriously and will not tolerate any form of hate crime."

Walter Williams defines "social justice"

Walter Edward Williams (31/3/36 - 1/12/20 was an American economist, commentator, and academic. He was the John M. Olin Distinguished Professor of Economics at George Mason University, a syndicated columnist, and author. Mr Williams held classical liberal and libertarian views, and wrote frequently for Townhall and Jewish World Review. He was also a popular guest host of The Rush Limbaugh Show.

Here's what Walter Williams had to say about "social justice".

In case you didn't notice, Walter Williams was black. Surprised? Why?

Enough already with the pandering to the alphabet people!

VIDEO: Democratic House candidate calls it what it is

Further to "Did you 'celebrate the power' today?", posted here just yesterday... More than one of our readers has congratulated us for resisting the cheap joke by not substituting, for the "the" in the headline, a two-syllable word which can refer to a cat or to the female pudendum.

We admit to shyness about using said word. After all, this is a family publication! Besides, we are not "male feminists", like Just In Trudeau, the former Governor of Canuckistan. Apparently feminists like to not only use the p-word but to shout it from the rooftops. One such is Michigan House candidate Shelby Campbell. Here's an actual video of Ms Campbell, posted on Libs of TikTok and reposted on Blazing Cat Fur.

We've only seen this clip, and hope there's not more. Kinda makes you want to run right out to the voting booth, doesn't it? Ms Campbell is a Democrat, running in Detroit's District 13.

Leviticus 18:22: "You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination." 

Leviticus 20:13: "If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them." 

Job 35:12: "There they cry out, but he does not answer, because of the pride of evil men."

I Corinthians 6:9-10: "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God." 

James 4:6: "But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, 'God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.'" 

Jude 1:7: "Just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire." 

I John 2:16-17: "For all that is in the world — the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life — is not from the Father but is from the world. And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever." 

Truly heartwarming. Be sure to side hug a gay and share one of these inspiring verses today.
