VIDEO (BANNED in Ireland) exposé of Ireland's immigrant invasion

Folks who knew me in the daze of my youth might have described me as "Black Irish". That's an informal term used mainly outside of Eire to describe people of Irish descent who have dark hair, dark eyes, and complexions that tan easily, differing from the stereotypical image of red hair and pale skin. It is not a recognized genetic or official ethnic category.

Today, in the auld sod, liberal politicians are trying to create a different kind of "Black Irish", as they welcome dusky-hued "refugees" and asylum-seekers, who are taking advantage of Ireland's lax EU-dictated immigration laws. Suddenly the streets of Dublin are full of immigrant invaders, mostly from Africa, enjoying all the benefits (many of them unavailable to native Irish) conferred by a woke socialist government. 

In this video,Tyler Oliveira, an American journalist who specializes in man-on-the-street interviews, visits Ireland to talk with these "refugees" and asylum-seekers, and with the real Irish people who think they should go back to whence they came. 

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!"

SCOTUS unanimously backs deportation of failed asylum-seekers

Douglas Humberto Urias-Orellana, his wife Sayra Iliana Gamez-Mejia, and their minor child are citizens of El Salvadoran who entered the US of A "without authorization" -- read: illegally -- in 2021, then claimed asylum.

An Immigration Judge (IJ) denied their applications and ordered their removal -- read: deportation -- determining that they had neither demonstrated past "persecution" nor established a "well-founded fear" of future "persecution" as required under the Immigration and Nationality Act.

After unsuccessfully challenging their removal order with the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA), the Latinx sought review in federal court. The Court of Appeals affirmed the BIA’s ruling, holding that "substantial evidence" supported the agency's determination that there was not a reasonable fear of persecution, and the family should therefore be deported.

But Sr Urias-Orellana did not give up so easily. Funded by American taxpayers, he and his wife and child appealed all the way to the highest court in the land, the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS). Much to his chagrin -- and the surprise of the supporters of open borders -- SCOTUS, in a decision released yesterday, unanimously affirmed the judgment of the Court of Appeals.

Ironically, the 9-0 decisiion was written by the court's most left-wing judge, Biden appointee Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. It will be now used to handcuff liberal judges who want to help the growing number of migrants who lose their asylum pleas at the Justice Department.

The unanimous in Urias–Orellana v. Bondi is a win for the Trump administration. It means that millions of migrants will face even tougher pressure to leave the United States, especially after they are arrested by ICE. 

It will be a big help to those charged with stemming the flood of illegal immigrants as they try to boost the number of self-deportations and ICE deportations. In December, 38% of the migrants detained by ICE chose to go home rather than file lawsuits to stay in the United States. Walt hopes those that are still here are paying attention!

The wrong way to do it

I'll tell you who's not listening. In a story headlined, "Failed asylum seeker families to be offered up to £40k to leave UK", the BBC reports that families of failed asylum seekers will be offered up to £40,000 to leave the Disunited Kingdom under a trial scheme announced today.

Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood [What part of Ireland do you think she's from? Ed.] said the leftist Labour government would seek to forcibly remove failed asylum seekers if they do not accept "incentive payments" of up to £10,000 per person, capped at four per family, within seven days. 

The scheme is expected to target about 150 families living in taxpayer-funded accommodation, and the Home Office estimates it could save £20 million if successful. However, the Conservatives and Reform UK said the payments would incentivise people to come to the UK illegally.

PPC leader Max Bernier asks tough questions about illegal immigration

Contrary to rumours being spread by Canada's controlled media -- not just the state-owned public broadcaster but every major fake newspaper -- the People's Party of Canada is still alive and still fighting for real Canadian values to be reflected in federal government policy.

In particular, they are the only federal party taking a hard line against illegal immigration: third-worlders crossing Canuckistan's porous borders, overstaying student and work visas, and avoiding deportation by crying "refugee". 

Two million "temporary" residence permits are set to expire this year, and almost no-one is talking about what happens next. The plan being quietly advanced by the governing Liberal Party of Marx Carnage is to eliminate the backlog of refugee and asylum claims by a process of "mass regularization". That's Liberal-speak for letting them all stay,  no questions asked.

In this video, PPC leader Maxime Bernier speaks out against this secret plan, and asks whether or not Canada's laws actually mean anything. 

The Plain People of Canada: What abouth yon Parti Québécois, then?

Hey, we said the PPC is the only federal party expressing Canadians' anger about uncontrolled illegal immigration. Things are different at the provincial level, when you get closer to the grass roots. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is at daggers drawn with the federal government, demanding that her province (Canada's version of Texas) have the right to enforce immigration laws and boot out those they don't like.

And in la Belle Province du Québec, at a time when support for Quebec separatism has reached one of the lowest ebbs of the last 50 years, voters seem about to hand the government over to le Parti Québécois, the province's historical standard-bearer for secession, now seen as "the most successful anti-woke party in Canada". That's PQ leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon in the picture, giving The Salute. All good liberals know what that means, eh!

The PQ may simply be the most conspicuous beneficiary of a Canada-wide backlash to high immigration, racial hiring quotas, and the various other trappings of what the French call "wokisme". We don't need to translate, do we?

The party’s official immigration policy pledges to cap new immigrants at 35,000 per year, to place a permanent moratorium on "economic immigration", and to pursue "automation" and "roboticization" to lessen Quebec's dependence on immigrant labour.

M St-Pierre Plamondon has been a heterodox voice on cultural issues ever since becoming PQ leader in 2020. That year, he criticized the Montréal Canadiens' decision (since reveresed) to open home games with the vomit-inducing "Indigenous land acknowledgement", stating that it was inaccurate to characterize Montréal as sitting on top of "unceded" land.

Also in 2020, he was one of the few Canadian politicians to publicly question a federally driven push towards accusing Canadian institutions of "systemic racism". Then prime minister Blackie McBlackface had called "systemic racism...an issue right across the country, in all our institutions, including in all our police forces." But M St-Pierre Plamondon joined Québec Premier François Legault in questioning the claim's core tenet that any differential outcome among races was ipso facto evidence of racism.

In his first press conference after becoming PQ leader, M Plamondon said he wanted specific examples of discriminatory policies, rather than just blanket government declarations that everything was racist, "so we can come up with solutions that are connected to the diagnosis, rather than say it's out there, in the system." He added, "there is no doubt in my mind that the concept of systemic racism should not be taught in our secondary schools."

The Laurentian elites may be tut-tutting and crying "racisme", but pure-laine Canadiens are listening, and flocking to the Parti Québécois.  Suddenly, M St-Pierre Plamondon’s more heterodox positions suddenly aren't all that controversial. In late 2024, he publicly denounced the very idea of wokeism. He defined wokeism it as a political strategy of using guilt and disinformation in order to impose a political agenda through brute force. 

On "Tout le monde en parle", Québec's most-watched talk show, he said that one signature technique of the wokesters is "the use of the words 'racist', 'intolerance', and 'phobe' to silence opponents." But, he said, "We can serve justice and we can serve equity without insulting and intimidating others."

Canada needs more political leaders like Max Bernier, Danielle Smith and Paul St-Pierre Plamondon. Let those who are afraid to speak out strongly for fear of being called "racist" etc take note.

UPDATED: Who allowed this jihadi wannabe into the USA?

Further to "'Allahu akbar!' in Austin TX" (WWW 1/3/26), we now have a photo (scraped from the New York Post) and more information on 53-year old Ndiaga Diagne, the black follower of the Prophet who shot up a bar in Austin TX on Sunday, killing two people and wounding 14 others.

The authorities are still "investigating" Mr Diagne's motives for the shooting -- apparently the slogan on his T-shirt isn't conclusive -- but haven't been able to suppress the truth about his identity and background.

The murderer is a former resident of the Big Apple. He arrived in the US of A on a tourist visa on 13 March 2000, during the Clinton administration, and became a lawful permanent resident when he married an American citizen [possibly white? named Karen? Ed.] in June 2006. 

In spite of several arrests over the next 6+ years, Mr Diagne became a naturalized US citizen on 5 April 2013, around the start of former President Barack Hussein Obama's second term. Before yesterday's bloody massacre, he was known to authorities in both New York and Texas as an emotionally disturbed person. We await information about licences he may have had for the firearms with which he killed.

Yes indeed. But it seems half of Americans haven't realized that yet.

UPDATE ADDED at 1250 FMT: Breitbart News reports these details, passed to CBS news by "an undisclosed source".

"On Sunday, investigators executed a search warrant on the Pflugerville, Texas home of Ndiaga Diagne, the deceased gunman responsible for the deadly Austin shooting that occurred earlier in the day. According to a source familiar with the investigation, law enforcement officials found an Iranian flag and photos of leaders of the Islamic Republic of Iran during a search of the home."

Walt asks: Is that enough now? Can we now say that the massacre was an act of Islamic terrorism?

VIDEO: "Allahu akbar!" in Austin TX

Earlier today, on NBC’s Meet the Press, Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said the American military strikes on Iran mean "the mothership of terrorism is sinking." Maybe so, and the sooner the better, but what the powers that be must recognize is that a lot of the crew were safely ashore in the US of A and other Western countries (Hello, Canada!) years ago! 

1000s of Islamic terrorists -- jihadi wannabes -- have crossed our countries' porous borders as "asylum-seekers" or "refugees" fleeing the murderous Muslim regimes of the Islamic Republic of Iran and other states of the Middle East and northern Africa. 

We welcome them as victims of oppression and treat them to housing, food, medical care and other benefits that our citizens have to work for and taxpayers pay for. Hell, we even give them money for "learing centers" where students learn to shout "Death to America!" and (of course) "Allahu akbar!"

One such is 53-year old Ndiaga Diagne, the black(ish) follower of the Prophet who shot up a bar in Austin TX early this morning, killing two people and wounding 14 others. Check out this video, and after that we'll tell you what the lickspittle media didn't. 

What went unreported is that the murderer was wearing a sweatshirt that said "Property of Allah" and another shirt with an Iranian flag design. That's according to an unnamed law enforcement official and "another person familiar with the case", both of whom spoke to AP "on background" because they weren't authorized to tell the whole truth to the American people.

Ndiaga Diagne is originally from Senegal, according to multiple people briefed on the investigation. He is said to have come to the US of A in 2006 -- a winner in the Green Card Lottery perhaps -- and was a naturalized American citizen.

The FBI -- the same folks who said traditional Catholics are potential revolutionaries -- said its joint terrorism task force team members, as well as other specialty teams, were investigating, and that there were "indicators of terrorism" related to the shooting. No shit, Sherlock!

VIDEO: Meanwhile, in Niagara Falls (Canada) this happened...

In the summer of 2022, Canada's ultra-woke Gliberal government started solving the crisis of illegal immigration by dumping some 4000 bogus refugees "from the USA" -- the illegals who (with the help of the RCMP) crossed the border Roxham Road -- into Niagara Falls (the nicer one, on the west bank of the river) an other unwilling border cities (Brockville, Cornwall and Windsor). 

They were housed "temporarily" in hotels, with room service laid on, at a cost of over C$220 ($158 in real money). The officially welcome (but really UNwelcome newcomers) also receive -- present tense because they are still there! -- free medical care, transportation, education and social services, all paid for by long-suffering taxpayers.   

The cost to said taxpayers has been enormous. Hoteliers have had to turn away tourists because all their room were occupied, and/or tourists refused to stay in "refugee hotels" turned into dumps by the sand people. See "Ungrateful 'refugees' destroy Canadian hotels", WWW  3/8/18, includes video.

Yes, that was in 2018. The same thing started happening in Niagara Falls in 2022 after Toronto said it just couldn't take any more "temporary" residents. In this video of last October, a minion of Marx Carney's government claimed there are no more refugees in hotels, so the cost of hosting illegal migrants isn't an issue any more. 

Sorry, lady, but it IS an issue. They may not be in hotels, but they are still in Niagara Falls. According to Agent 3, who sent us the link to the video below, a white pedestrian picking his way through the trash on Lundy's Lane would find himself in the minority. 

The cost to the munipalities (the City of Niagara Falls and the Regional Municipality of Niagara) of providing education and social services for the illegal immigrants is enormous, probably not far off the billion dollars mention in the title. Schoolrooms are full of kids -- including "unaccompanied minor" males with moustaches and beards -- who can't speak English and are socially, if not mentally retarded.

Hospital ERs are full. So are the walk-in clinics. The illegal migrants have brought with them not just their gold rings but their third-world diseases. Charitable agencies that support vulnerable people are overwhelmed too. Check out Project Share (Agent 3 writes) and other food banks. Almost all the people doing the work of collecting and distributing food are white, whereas those getting their groceries (and complaining that they don't like the food) are mostly, errr, darker.

It's no wonder, then, that a group of Niagara Falls men have stood up on their hind legs to say that it's high time the "temporary" residents went back where they came from. The protesters in this next video are advocating for what sociologists call "remigration".

As you can imagine, these guys are being called "racists", "neo-Nazis", yada yada yada. Walt says, you can hardly blame them. If my city tax bill went up by 10% overnight, I'd be protesting too! 

If you live down by the Falls and want to make your voice heard, you'll find a useful link in the video. Good luck!

Canuck asks, "How can we prevent Bondi Beach from happening here?"

Barbara Kay is a prominent Canadian journalist and columnist known for her work with the National Post, often focusing on social and political issues from a conservative viewpoint. She has also contributed to other outlets like Rebel News and The Post Millennial, both of which are on Walt's reading list. She is Jewish.

Her latest column for the Notional Pest is headed "Bondi Beach shows Canadians can no longer shy away from the immigration debate". Since you may find yourself behind NP's paywall, we present here the first part of Ms Kay's essay, which Walt thinks makes a point worth saying again... and again...

Canada’s post-October 7 antisemitism crisis mirrors Australia’s. It’s small wonder that the Bondi Beach Hanukkah pogrom is perceived by numerous Canadian observers as a bullet dodged.

If it had happened here, we would be sifting through the same forensic breadcrumbs that helped pave the road to Bondi: principles bent for Muslim votes, calculated tolerance for criminal activity directed against Jews and the demonization of Israel in high political and cultural places. 

The question now is: what can we do to prevent such a tragedy in Canada? We should start by believing what Islamists say. Hamas has stated that, "Killing Jews is worship that draws us close to Allah." We should also acknowledge that the phrase "Globalize the Intifada" is incitement to violence against Jews. We should prosecute, imprison or, when feasible, deport those who preach it. 

Second, we must remove the cone of heresy over debates about multiculturalism and immigration. Following the massacre, former Australian prime minister Tony Abbott told Sky News that, "Some versions of Islam are not really compatible with life in a liberal, democratic, pluralist society." He said it and the sky didn’t fall. Fear of radically anti-semitic jihadists is rational. 

As former Alberta premier and federal immigration minister Jason Kenney said in a recent debate Andrew Coyne about immigration, "Social cohesion (is) hard to measure, hard to quantify and sometimes a dangerous thing to discuss. But we damn well should." He’s right. Mental comfort on this file is a luxury we can no longer afford.

Coming to Canada illegally pays off for asylum-seekers, bogus refugees

WARNING to Canadian readers: This report contains statistics which will infuriate you.

Let's start with these. When the Liberal Prime Minister Blackie McBlackface first took office in 2015, the number of asylum claimants in the country then known as Canada was just 16,058. As of the most recent figures available from Statistics Canada, there are a total of 497,443 "asylum claimants and protected persons". Thats includes a record high 287,786 asylum claimants waiting to have their case heard by the Immigrant and Refugee Board of Canada. 

What do you, dear suffering Canuck, think will happen to them? What percentage of them do you think will be allowed to remain in the country now known and derided as "Canuckistan"? 50%? 75%? 85%? How about 100%?!

On Tuesday, the Liberal government headed by Blackie's successor, Marx Carnage, dropped a new budget, outlining the Natural Ruling Party's plans to carry on Junior's wokest works. Buried in the 406+ pages of mouse-sized type was the latest iteration of the Liberal promise to bring immigration "under control.

The budget document admits that Canada’s immigration system [Is dis a system? Mr. Natural] is "dysfunctional and inefficient... [After Covid] the pace of arrivals began to exceed Canada’s capacity to absorb and support newcomers in the way we are used to doing. Canada’s new [LOL. Walt] government recognizes that this system is no longer sustainable, and we are determined to make it so."

But, I hear you ask, how are they going to do that? The answer is a one-time mass amnesty to some of the hundreds of thousands of asylum-seekers who have entered Canada in recent years, by illegally crossing the US border at places like Roxham Road, near St-Bernard-de-Lacolle QC, where a Mountie can be seen in this photo helping a border-jumper with her luggage.

The alien in the photo is just one of 114,373 illegal border-crossesrs who have entered Canada since 2017. A disproportionate number came through the Roxham Road crossing from New York into Québec, an illicit border crossing closed only in 2023

Starting next year, the Liberals will spend over C$120 million ($85 million in real money) on a program to fast-track "eligible protected persons" -- anyone who promises to vote Liberal in future elections -- into permanent residency.

The number of "protected persons" to be admitted without being properly vetted, and in spite of having gamed the system, is for some reason not specified in the budget. It should be noted, though, that Canada currently has more people within the refugee system than at any other time in its history.

In the entirety of 2015, the Canada Border Services Agency processed 7110 asylum claims. Last year, this figure was 58,050 — a more than 800% cent increase! But the 2025 budget boasts that "asylum claims are down by a third" from the heights they reached during the Trudeau era.

 Of late, Canada’s population of asylum claimants has also added tens of thousands of "temporary migrants" who entered Canada as students (many at schools like the notorious Singh School of Truck Driving) and claimed asylum as the terms of their visas came to an end. 

Last year, for instance, international students were responsible for a record 20,245 asylum claims. If past acceptance figures are any guide, most asylum claimants will ultimately be accepted as "protected persons".

In 2024, for instance, the Immigration and Refugee Board reviewed 73,456 cases and only rejected 11,761. (46,480 were accepted, the other claims were abandoned or withdrawn). The year before, the board reviewed 51,848 and only rejected 9601; 37,222 claims were accepted.

So there you have it, dear put-upon Canadians. Your country's back door is still wide open. No matter where in the Great No-longer-white North you live, it won't be long before you hear the six most feared words in the English language: "Hello dere! I'se yo new neighbuh!"

German politicians agree not to say anything bad about illegal aliens

As a follow-up to our post about the Muslim asylum-seeker who killed a Ukrainian refugee last month, we present below a slightly shortened version of an article by Katja Hoyer, a German-British historian and writer, published on UnHerd, yesterday. Thanks to Blazing Cat Fur for the lead.

Cologne immigration pact opens doors for AfD

In Cologne, a bizarre conspiracy of silence has settled. Only it's not happening behind closed doors. All of the political parties involved in upcoming local elections, except the anti-immigration AfD, have openly agreed to avoid negative commentary on immigration during their campaigns.

Everyone, from the centre-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU) to the far-Left Die Linke, has signed a "Fairness Agreement", pledging not to talk about migrants in connection with "negative social developments such as unemployment or threats to domestic security".

This is likely to backfire spectacularly. Democracy thrives on open debate, especially on polarising issues such as immigration. By effectively imposing a gag on critical voices, the agreement tampers with the democratic process itself, stifling dialogue with superficial silence. Citizens deserve a truthful negotiation of competing policies, not a hastily erected facade that ignores discomfort or disagreement.

This curtailment comes at a high cost, especially in Cologne. The city has not forgotten what happened on New Year’s Eve 2015, when hundreds of women reported sexual assaults by groups described as of Arab or North African appearance near Cologne Cathedral and the central train station. Police admitted later that around half the perpetrators had been in the country for less than a year, and that there was "a connection between the appearance of the phenomenon and large-scale migration, especially in 2015."

A decade on and mainstream politicians are agreeing not to talk about this connection, not only alienating victims and witnesses of crimes committed by migrants, but also allowing the AfD a monopoly on the political representations of related concerns.... 

Meanwhile, the broader democratic ecosystem suffers. Voters, particularly working-class ones, and even long-established migrant-origin communities, are shifting toward the Alternativ für Deutschland (AfD), not because they embrace extremism, but because they feel unheard and abandoned by the political centre. Without legitimate channels to express concerns, cynicism grows and democracy erodes. 

To call this silence "fair", when it abandons one of Germans’ most pressing concerns, seems cynical. It's a capitulation: a denial of many people’s everyday experiences, fears and frustrations. It validates the smug belief that "politics knows best", even when public safety and social cohesion are at stake. Fairness demands honest engagement. Problems and conflicts in Cologne, including the horrors of New Year’s Eve 2015, must be acknowledged — not exploited, but confronted openly. 

Even if the intention of the agreement was solely political, it would backfire on those terms. By collectively signing the “Fairness Agreement” and singling out the AfD as the only dissenting voice, mainstream parties confirm a huge frustration that has driven so many voters towards the Right in the first place: the idea of a "uniparty" that blocks all change. 

Many Germans already feel that all establishment parties, regardless of ideological labels, are essentially the same, offering no genuine choice — especially on immigration. When voters see everyone from across the spectrum agreeing not to criticise immigration policies, despite widespread public concern, it reinforces the perception that no real political alternative exists within the system....  

In attempting to isolate the AfD, Cologne's political establishment is feeding directly into the party’s most effective messaging. The "Fairness Agreement" is no honour to fairness. It's yet another sign of how detached the political mainstream has become from voters. Migration is the big issue of our time. If centrists want to remain part of a conversation they can't stop, they need to pull their heads out of the sand and do what politicians are supposed to do in a functioning democracy: listen to voters.

Muslim asylum-seeker kills Ukrainian refugee in Germany

There is a difference between refugees and asylum-seekers. If we have to choose who we let into our safe and prosperous countries (???), I'd take the genuine refugees who are fleeing wars and natural disasters. To the asylum-seekers, who claim to be unjustly persecuted in "safe" countries like the US of A because of their religious or political beliefs, or because they're queer, I'd say, "Go away! We're full!" 

Thanks to Angela Merkel, Germany is chock full or asylum-seekers and refugees, both legitimate and bogus. Das Vaterland landhosts 1.2 million Ukrainian refugees -- fleeing Putin's invasion of their country -- the highest number of any EU country. Unfortunately, it has even more bogus refugees and asylum-seekers from the Middle East and Africa. 

On August 11th, in Frideland, one of the latter group killed one of the former -- a 16-year-old named Liana -- by pushing her into the path of a freight train travelling at 60 mph. Liana fled Mariupol with her parents and two younger brothers in 2022. In Germany, she had been training to become a dental assistant.

Die Polizei initially did not detain the 31-year-old man, even after pointed them to her body. Later DNA tests revealed his fingerprints on her shoulder, leading investigators to conclude she had been violently grabbed. Good police work there, Fritz!

The authorities said the suspect had a blood alcohol level of 1.35‰ and a history of paranoid schizophrenia. He was placed in a psychiatric facility and is under investigation for "unintentional homicide". Prosecutors said there is no evidence the suspect and victim knew each other. 

Investigators also found that the Iraqi citizen had lived in Germany for years despite his asylum application being rejected and a deportation order being issued. Imagine that!

Walt wonders how many millions of failed asylum-seekers are on the loose in Germany... and in all the Western countries which have put out the welcome mat for them, in spite of all evidence that they are detriments to our society. And how many are there in countries like Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states? The answer is none, because the Arabs don't accept refugees and asylum-seekers, even fellow followers of the Prophet. Who says we're smarter than the Arabs?

After 6 months, Afghan "Allahu akbar!" killer finally charged

How time flies and how quickly we forget! Last February, Walt brought you news from Munich, Germany of a horrific attack by a Jihadi wannabe which took the lives of a two-year-old girl and her 37-year-old mother. See "'Allahu akbar!' in German... just in time for the election" WWW 13/2/25 and "Munich Islamic terror attack UPDATE" 14/2/25.

The general election came and went, and a cobbled-together coalition of leftists and centrists pipped Alternativ für Deutschland (AfD) at the post. Apparently the Germans have yet to realize that that the Muslim fanatics really are out to kill them and all the other infidels.

The lickspittle media buried the Munich attack (and others) below the fold, and people forgot. These things have become so common that we don't even bother to search for a follow-up any more. The jihadi wannabes are usually portrayed as "lone wolves", not really part of the Islamic war on the west, and the perpetrators are rarely convicted, let alone deported to whence they came.

So it was a bit of a surprise today when Euronews reported that German authorities have, at long last, laid murder charges against the man who murdered the little girl and her mother, and injured 44 others in the car-ramming rampage.

The man, an Afghan national identified only as Farhad N., was arrested immediately after the attack during a labour union demonstration. He came to Germany as one of the asylum-seekers so beloved of Angela Merkel and other politicians suffering from white guilt. (The German version of this diseasis especially virulent, which accounts for the outcome of the above-mentioned election.)

Prosecutors say Herr N. was motivated by "a desire to avenge the suffering of Muslims." Ah yes, all those poor refugee and sylum-seekers... millions of them... still being fed and housed by the no-longer-Nazi German people. 

"The accused committed the act out of excessive religious motivation," the prosecutorssaid in the statement. He believed he was obliged to attack and kill randomly selected people in Germany in response to the suffering of Muslims in Islamic countries." Makes sense, no? No!

France braces for another wave of Muslim "refugees"

[Cue theme music from Twilight Zone.] Imagine, if you will, that the population of your country is, by fiat of the United Nations (read: One World Government), increased by over 3%... overnight! Imagine too that all the newcomers don't speak your language, worship your God, or share your values. And they expect you to welcome them, feed them, house them, and ensure that they have a standard of living equal to that you've worked for all your life. 

If you live in France, what you're imagining could seen be your reality, as France's National Court of Asylum (CNDA) ruled yesterday that all Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip will be eligible for the first time to apply for asylum in France.

The CNDA ruled in favour of a Palestinian mother, a Muslim, who sought asylum in France in the wake of the October 7th terror attacks on Israel, for which other Muslims -- the Islamist Hamas -- were responsible. Makes sense, eh? Errr, maybe not. The court said the "war methods"” of the Israeli Defence Force in Gaza -- not the Islamists but the Israelis -- were "serious enough to be regarded as methods of persecution."

According to Le Figaro, the case paved the way for the CNDA to declare that all Palestinians living in Gaza should be entitled to asylum protection in France. All of them. All 2.2 million!

The court based its decision on the Geneva Convention, which says that people who face "persecution for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion," should be considered "refugees". The court specifically cited the supposed persecution based on "nationality" faced by Palestinians in Gaza, even though France, like most other nations, doesn't recognize Palestine as a state. 

Nevertheless, the judges said that they possessed the "characteristics" of a nationality, which according to the Convention include belonging to a "group determined by its cultural, ethnic or linguistic identity, common geographical or political origins or its relationship with the population of another state." Those lawyers sure have a way with words, don't they.

While the ruling is novel in declaring that all Palestinians are "persecuted" by the evil Israelis, legal experts noted that it would likely only impact around 20% of the population of Gaza. Why? Because 80% of the "Gazans" are already classified as "refugees" by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA)and are therefore already eligible for protection in France.

 Although the ruling was hailed by leftist groups such as Amnesty International, others expressed concern about allowing more Palestinians into France. One of the skeptics is Henda Ayari, a former Muslim turned anti-Islamist activist and female rights campaigner, who said, "While France is already grappling with explosive community tensions, it chooses today to unconditionally welcome refugees from Gaza, even though more than 30 Muslim countries refuse to take them in."

"Why," Ms Ayari asks, "should France, once again, play the role of humanitarian substitute while others categorically refuse to host these populations in their countries? We're talking about a region where Hamas recruits, where Islamist ideology and anti-Semitic, anti-Western hatred are deeply rooted, where many celebrated the massacres of October 7. 

"We cannot pretend to believe that they are all 'innocent victims.' Some of these individuals who will arrive in France may have participated in, supported, or condoned terrorism. And tomorrow? They will be housed, fed, and supported at the expense of French taxpayers… while our retirees are dying and our neighbourhoods are exploding."

UPDATED: "Allahu akbar!" in Germany, again?

Walt had no sooner posted "Fasching season cancelled in Munich for fear of another Muslim attack" (see below), when the mojo wire spat out news of... wait for it... another Muslim attack!

In Mannheim, in the German state of Baden-Württemberg, die Polizei have arrested a man, so far unidentified, who "allegedly" [as they always say. Ed.] drove a black SUV into a crowd of people this morning, seriously injuring many, including one who was possibly killed.

Police have ordered the public to keep away from the area shown in the picture above, near Mannheim's city centre. A local newspaper spoke of a "rampage" by the alleged driver and of at least one fatality. The Stuttgarter Zeitung reports that "debris was visible at the scene and at least one person was lying covered under a tarpaulin."

Die Rheinpfalz notes that officers "confirm rampage" and that one person has died. No further information has been made public yet, but Bild states police sources say the death toll has risen to two, and that 25 are injured. Frankfurter Runschau states University Hospital Mannheim has been activated, with trauma teams set up to deal with a "mass event".

Police have yet to make any comment on the cause of this incident or whether there is any known motive. Readers will forgive us, I think, for jumping to the usual conclusion. As I said in the previous post, the driving of vehicles at high speeds into crowds is something that has become all too familiar in German cities recently. There's no denying that adherents of "the Religion of Peace" are engaging in jihad -- a holy war against us "infidels"!

UPDATE added 4/3/25: According to media reports, the perpetrator of the Mannheim atrocity is Alexander S. from Ludwigshafen. He only posted dog videos and a video of a street artist painting over swastikas. 

He did not share any political content on his Facebook page, so it's difficult to attribute any ideology to him. One can't say that he's a jihadi. So also, one can't he isn't a jihadi. Perhaps we'll learn more if he faces trial, instead of being confined to a mental institution to avoid embarrassment of the authorities. Stay tuned.

Good news from Occupied Germany

If you've been waiting for my comment on the staged, boring, counter-factual, dismal, CNN interview of the Cackler and her valorous protector... you just had it. Let's turn our attention to das Vaterland, where, right now, millions of people are voting against migration and wokeness.

Why, here's a voter right now! His sign asks German chancellor Olaf Scholz how many more Germans must die at the hands of Islamic terrorists. He's referring, no doubt, to atrocities like the recent stabbings in Solingen. See "More 'Allahu akbar!' in Germany... implications for USA and Canada". WWW 26/8/24.

This weekend, in the German States of Saxony and Thuringia, comes the reckoning for Herr Scholz and his Social Democratic Party (the German equivalent of America's Dimocrats), who, under the leadership of Angela Merkel, encouraged the occupation of Germany by hordes of "refugees" and asylum-seekers who are hell-bent on establishing a European caliphate.

In those states (which, significantly, were part of East Germany), the rightist Alternativ für Deutschland (AfD) is on the cusp of winning the most votes in German state elections for the first time since the days of Hitler.

For the gliberals, progressives, and one-worlders, that's a nightmare -- like the rise of MAGA in the US of A -- but others, particularly in the east, say the AfD is the last chance to get their country back. Cries of "Deutschland den Deutschen!" are loud in the land!

Just as in America, the temperature of German politics has been rising all year. At an SPD rally in Thuringia, protesters (like the one pictured) shouted "Liar!) at Chancellor Scholz. Chants of "Volksverräter" -- "Traitor to the people" -- were also heard. 

Polling shows the SPD (and its Green and Liberal coalition partners) are doing so badly in Thuringia that they may not even get a single seat in the state parliament. The AfD, by contrast, tops the polls with 30% to the SPD's 22%.

Meanwhile, in neighbouring Saxony, the AfD is running neck and neck with the conservative CDU. The knife attack in Solingen, in which a Syrian asylum-seeker and jihadi wannabe killed three people, has fuelled fierce criticism of how successive "liberal democratic" governments have handled migration. In a response which can only be described as "panicky", ministers announce tougher asylum regulations and knife crime laws.

[How much tougher? Ed.]  Well, for one thing, they are actually in the process of deporting a handful of "irregular migrants" who asylum claims were denied.

Yesterday, a deportation flight bound for Afghanistan left Leipzig with 28 -- count `em, 28 -- Afghanis on board. That leaves only a million or so benefits-shoppers still in Germany. According to the Ministry of the Interior, those on the flight are convicted criminals from various states across Germany. Der Spiegel reported that each deportee, all of whom were male, received a payment of €1000 ($1100 in real money). The spokesthingy for Saxony’s Interior Ministry was unable to confirm this.

The flight marks Germany’s first deportation of Afghans back to their home country since the Taliban retook power there in August 2021, after the Biden Bug-out. In a presser following the flight's departure, a government spokesthingy emphasized that Berlin was not in direct talks with the Taliban. Rather,  he said, it secured the deportation through the mediation of "key regional powers" whom he carefully refused to name.

He did add, though, that the German government has made "intensive efforts" to deport migrants who have committed serious crimes back to Afghanistan and Syria in the wake of a knife attack -- not Solingen, but the "Allahu akbar!" incident in the southwestern city of Mannheim at the end of May. The German immigration control authorities have laboured mightily, it seems, and brought forth... well... see above.

More "Allahu akbar!" in Germany... implications for USA and Canada

German chancellor Olaf Scholz said this weekend that his government remains committed to former chancellor Angela Merkel's policy of welcoming foreign invaders "for humanitarian and legal reasons". However, he said "Irregular migration into Germany must go down." Sounds to Walt like sucking and blowing at the same time, but why (I hear you ask) would Herr Scholz speak out in the middle of a quiet summer weekend. Here's a visual clue.

Yes, dear readers, another of those poor persecuted Muslims has done it again. Pictured is someone the polizei and politically correct media refer to as "Issa Al H", a 26-year-old Syrian "refugee". Al stabbed three people to death and wounded 8 others in an attack in Solingen on Friday. It wasn't an accident. The cops say he went for the throat every time.

The authorities (and in Germany that word means a lot) at first wouldn't name the attacker, nor would they speculate on his motive for the atrocity. But once Islamic State/ISIS claimed responsibility for the crime, they decided something had to be said, hence the statement from the Chancellor, who said today, "This was terrorism, terrorism against us all."  

How about that?! A politician with the courage to utter the T-word. But not enough courage to add adjectives such as "Islamic" or "Muslim".

Herr Scholz also said his government would have to do "everything we can to ensure that those who cannot and should not stay here in Germany are repatriated and deported" and that deportations would be sped up if necessary. He also promised to tighten laws on weapons ownership -- not "guns" but "weapons"-- "very quickly". 

This latest incident of wanton terrorism by a jihadi wannabe exacerates an already heated debate in das Vaterland about the merits (if any) of migration. On Saturday, conservative opposition leader Friedrich Merz demanded an end to taking in refugees from Syria and Afghanistan and called for controls on all of Germany’s borders. 

 

More significantly, Alice Weidel, leader of the Alternativ für Deutschland (AfD), has gone a step further and wants a complete stop to all migration. Any honest opinion poll [an oxymoron for sure. Ed.] would show the majority of Germans (as well as citizens of the AABC countries) in partial or full agreement with that proposition. 

The centre-left government of Chancellor Scholz has already pledged to deport migrants who have committed serious crimes and people whose application for asylum has been rejected. But it would appear that they have entrusted the job to the  German equivalent of America's "border czar", as very few of the benefits-shoppers have actually been sent back to their shitholes.

Mr Al-Stabby there came to Germany in 2022 as a Syrian "refugee". Usually Syrians have a good chance of being granted asylum in Germany, but his application was rejected and he was ordered to be deported to Bulgaria, because he had already registered for asylum there. But when the polizei tried to deport him, they were shocked, shocked to be unable to find him, and he remained in Germany. 

As I write I am waiting for results from yesterday's election in Saxony and Thuringia, two large eastern German states whose people are said to be less welcoming to invaders than the more liberal volk of western Germany. The AfD is expected to do well and may even win the most votes. America's Dimocrats and Canada's Gliberals should... repeat, should... take note.

The Great Replacement is a fact... a CANADIAN fact...

and it's too late for you hosers to do anything about it! The damage has already been done by the extreme-woke Liberal government of Justin "Junior" Trudeau. It's all part of the Soros-authored Great Replacement plan, which is now a fait accompli.

So says Canadian advocate and writer Chris George, in "Trudeau Liberals’ immigration policies purposefully altering Canada", posted in the Niagara Independent on 31/5/24. Thanks to Agent 3 for capturing the URL! Let's begin with Mr George's list of disturbing statistics, which the Liberals can no longer conceal. Emphasis and parenthetical comments are Walt's.

The government’s open border policies are changing the ethnic composition of the country. Government data from Statistics Canada and the department of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada tell us a number of things. 

1. In 2022 and 2023 Canada’s population grew by a record amount, more than one million-plus people each year.

2. In 2022 the country’s population growth rate was 2.7%, which is the highest rate in the world outside African countries. In 2023, it was even higher at 3.2%

3. Canada’s population has not grown at the current pace since the baby boom years in the late 1950s. Almost all (98%) of that growth came from migration.

4. According to the Canadian census, prior to 2015, immigration consisted of 28% coming from the UK/Europe, and today this number is only two per cent [That's right, only 2%.]

5. Today, Canada has the world’s largest intake of Third World migration – mostly from the continent of Africa. Nearly 98% of immigrants now come from India, China, Pakistan, Lebanon, Syria, and various African countries.  

6. First- and second-generation immigrants now account for 44% of Canada's population, according to the 2021 census. 

7.  On 1 July 2015, Canada’s estimated population was 35,851,800.vOn 16 June 2023, Canada’s population surpassed the 40 million mark. Nine months later, on 28 March 2024, it surpassed 41 million.

The main point of Chris George's well-researched and well-argued article is that the Liberals’ immigration plan comes with an untold cost.

Marc Miller, the minister who's supposedly in charge, has commanded center stage in Ottawa over the past few weeks making a rash of new policy announcements. The changes being made to Canada’s immigration system will make it easier for newcomers to come into the country – seemingly without regard for either the costs to taxpayers or the strain placed on Canadians’ social contract. 

Last week, the government tabled legislation that extends birthright citizenship, allowing Canadians who live abroad to pass down "Canadian citizenship" to their children who may have been born outside the country and live abroad. This allows for a person who never has set foot in Canada to hold Canadian citizenship based on the citizenship of just one of their parents.

Also last week, M Miller announced that the government was increasing the temporary resident visa program for extended Palestinian family members in Gaza from 1000 to 5000 applicants. The special measures allow Gazans [including Hamas jihadis] who have relatives in Canada to move and stay in the country for up to three years.

[But wait, there's more...] M Miller then revealed that the federal cabinet is considering permitting migrants and illegal immigrants currently in Canada to gain permanent residence. This includes migrants without valid documents, including asylum seekers ordered to be deported, as well as former international students whose study permits have expired. This initiative will provide all current illegal immigrants an unconditional free pass. 

These latest policy announcements are an extension of the Trudeau government’s open border approach to attracting increasing numbers of newcomers to Canada. The latest immigration schedule announced in fall 2023 has Canada officially welcoming 485,000 new permanent residents this year, 500,000 in 2025, and another 500,000 in 2026. 

This is less than half the story, though, as government figures reveal 1,160,000 temporary residents came to Canada in the last 18 months and there may be more than 2,200,000 in the country. And in addition to this, Canada has accepted an increasing number of refugees and asylum seekers.

The Liberals’ immigration plan comes with an untold cost. Aside from the increased pressure on Canadians’ housing, health care and social services, which are hard to quantify, there are a host of associated costs required to support the newcomers and their daily living. Taxpayers never get a complete picture of costs, only snippets of details such as: Blacklock’s Reporter reported that room and board for illegal immigrants is costing a daily average of $224 per person, $81,760 per person per year, according to government records. 

Couple that news with the Migrant Rights Network estimating the number of illegals living in Canada could be anywhere between 20,000 to 500,000, and we can factor the annual cost of room and board for illegals from $1.6 billion to $40.5 billion.

Blacklock’s Reporter was the only news source to headline Statistics Canada data that reported in March of 2022 that "more than a third (35%) of government-assisted refugees remain on welfare a decade after landing in Canada."

An analysis of the data showed “higher welfare rates followed landmark 2001 changes to immigration law” when the Trudeau government dropped the requirement for foreigners to show proof of work skills and economic independence. Separate Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada data reveals that "Only 56% of government-assisted refugees were directly participating in the Canadian labour market." [That's government-speak for "only 56% were working or looking for work."]

Credit again goes to Blacklock’s Reporter for publishing government data that revealed, of the 2015 Syrian refugees brought into Canada by the Trudeau Liberals, half the total (50.4%) were still relying on social assistance after five years. Of the 2016 Syrian refugees the government welcomed, seven of ten (69.5%) refugees were still relying on social assistance four years after landing.

As expensive as financially supporting migrants is for taxpayers, Canadians are paying a greater cost with the societal disorder newcomers are bringing onto the streets of Canada’s cities. The Liberals’ commentary around Miller’s announcement regarding bringing thousands from Gaza into the country has been met with grave concerns about Canadians’ security. This has been underlined in the last few days with bullet-ridden schools in Toronto and Montreal, violent protests on campuses, and rallies that display open threatening hate-speech and rallying cries to "globalize the Intifada."

[Yesterday in Toronto, one person was killed and four wounded in a shooting "incident" in the Rexdale "hood". Today the University of Toronto will begin its commencement exercises. Graduands will have to walk around a pro-Hamas "encampment" which has occupied the front campus for weeks, while U of T's admin and police do nothing.]”

It is reasonable for Canadians to fear that the Hamas-supporting newcomers will join the growing street protests and make an already toxic situation worse, leaving all citizens compromised and Canadian Jews in an even more vulnerable position. (Consider why all other countries, including Arab neighbours, keep their borders closed to these people.) 

Just as the Trudeau Liberals remain unfazed by the crises in housing and health care caused in part by the growing numbers of immigrants, they remain unapologetic with their intention to bring more Gazans into Canada. Political pundit Spencer Fernando bluntly assessed, "The Liberals are knowingly importing radicalized anti-Semites, many of whom also despise the Western world and oppose Canadian Values….  If you are someone who loves Canada and believes in Western Values, Marc Miller has chosen to be your Enemy."

The National Citizens Coalition posted on X the following observation: "You don't bring in a million people during a housing shortage crisis, where we don't have enough family doctors, and say you're fixing the problem… For every day that Trudeau and Miller's desperate pivot to unchecked mass immigration grows more reckless, exploitative, and debilitating for generational problems of housing and healthcare, more and more Canadians are realizing they’ve had enough."

Quite apart from the chaos of the Palestinian-Hamas protests, there are daily news stories of around-the-block food bank lines, new tent cities being pitched, carjacking and street crimes, bank foreclosures, and overcrowded and closed ERs. The strain being applied on Canadians' social contract is now palpable.

Miller tells Canadians the government is extending citizenship, permitting illegals to stay in the country, and bringing in more Gazans. He’s signaled there will be more than a million newcomers ushered into the country again this year. Miller reassures us it’s all in the Trudeau Liberals’ immigration plan. 

[Another name for the Liberals' "immigration plan" is "Great Replacement plan". It's the one thing the Trudeau government has done as promised. But the promise wasn't made by Junior. It was made by his father, Emperor Trudeau I, when he seized the reins of power in 1968. "You won't recognize Canada when I'm done with it," was what he said. That one time (only), he wasn't lying.]

Going to Niagara Falls to see the eclipse? Read this first

Walt [and Ed.! Ed.] are in Niagara Falls ON to see the solar eclipse this coming Monday. Niagara Falls is reckoned to be the best place in the world to see it, being right in the middle of the path, so there should be 100% totality around 1518 EDT. 

The only hitch could be the weather. Local Indians First Nations have been persuaded to do an anti-rain dance, just in case.

We chose the Canadian side of the river for reasons anyone who has visited Niagara Falls NY will know. The best views of the falls are from the Canadian side, and a US dollar will get you $1.35 in funny money -- but it'll be all coins. Canuckistan have no paper notes of less than five dollars.

Warning! If you're farther away than you can manage in a day trip, and haven't got a guarantee place to stay, forget it! The hotels, motels and inns on the Canadian side are 100% full... and have been for some time. 

Tourists who thought they had a hotel room booked months ago are being told by some hotels their reservations are cancelled because "a large group of people have decided to extend their stay." See "Screwed by Wyndham Garden Niagara Falls--they cancelled our prepaid rooms for the eclipse. What can we do?" on Reddit.

How come? What the lickspittle media are not telling you is that Niagara Falls hotels are full of "refugees" and asylum-seekers, sent there over a year ago by Canada's Liberal government (Blackie McBlackface, Prop.) See "Thinking of visiting Niagara Falls? Think again!", WWW 25/3/23. 

The supposedly temporary arrangement was, of course, anything but. The real reason for the "state of emergency" declared last week by the Region of Niagara is that the unwelcome "visitors" refuse to leave. 

Last wee, over 100 of them -- from shitholes like Nigeria, Pakistan, and Mexico -- who had their claims approved [Really? Ed.] were told to find other accommodations. But if they leave the hotels, they'll have to pay for their own lodgings, food, etc. So they're still there. 

They were given a check-out deadline of 22 April, but everyone knows it won't be enforced. Bad optics for the Trudeau government and wokesters in general. The hoteliers don't care, as they're still getting paid. Better a month of illegals @ $200/night than two days of tourists @ $1000, eh!

That's the news from Down by the Falls. Canada... or Niagara Falls at least... is full up. Stay home.

The BIG ballot question in 2024

Almost immediately after he was steered into the Oval Office to begin work as front man for the Obama-Soros Deep State, Senile Joe Biden began rolling back President Trump's immigration policies, which he had assailed throughout the 2020 campaign as "harsh and inhumane."

That was three years ago. And we all know what's happened to America since the borders (north as well as south) were declared open again. President F.J. Brandon now sounds remarkably like the Donald as he presses Congress for "restrictions" (not an outright ban) on asylum seekers. Progressive thinkers are moaning that such measures would be unthinkable if Uncle Joe were still alive.

But no... President Brandon is boarding up the entrance to his Delaware basement against  the expected home invastion by the "undocumented newcomers" he can see marching up the driveway even now. He is under intense pressure, not just from Republicans but from Democrats, including elected Democratic officials in "sanctuary cities" 1000s of miles from the border who are feeling the blowback from Americans angry about the effects of asylum-seekers arriving in record numbers. 

With the 2024 presidential campaign shaping up as a likely rematch between Crooked Joe and the Donald, unlimited and uncontrolled immigration has become Mr Brandon's biggest potential liability.

That's why the Democrats have and the lickspittle media have done the Big 180, and are now pushing a sweeping measure that would expand the President's authority to put strict new limits on border crossings. "If that bill were the law today, I'd shut down the border right now and fix it quickly," Joe said (from his basement) this past weekend.

Meanwhile, President Trump, is eager to rekindle the passions that the wide-open border fueled during his successful 2016 campaign. Corey Lewandowski, his 2016 campaign manager, said, " It has been a message that has resonated not just with Republicans or Democrats, but across the country, because now even those liberal cities, those blue cities, those blue mayors, they're saying we can't handle the crisis anymore and give us help,"

Mr Trump lamented over the weekend that his border message didn't resonate when he ran for reelection in 2020 because he'd done such a good job controlling the border that he "took it out of play." The Dempanic over Covid didn't help either, as the number of immigrant wannabes dwindled somewhat because of lack of job prospects. 

Campaigning in Las Vegas on Saturday, President Trump said, "Literally we couldn’t put it in a speech. Nobody wanted to hear about the border. We had no border problem. But now we can talk about the border because it's never, ever been worse than it is now."

A vote on the supposedly bipartisan bill to reimpose border controls is expected today. Walt wonders if the so-called moderate Republicans will be suckers enough to support the Dumbocrats' desperate ploy to shield Crooked Joe from the voters' wrath in November, thus putting him back in the White House for aother four years or his death, whichever first occurs. Stay tuned.

What Covenant House doesn't talk about in its fundraising pitch

Agent 3 reports that  Covenant House Toronto has recently flighted a massive repeat of its successful fundraising video ad, which opens with a long shot of a poor waif, sitting, cold and hungry, in the doorway of a downtown building, as a strange man (possibly a "chicken hawk") approaches.

"Amazing Grace" (of course) plays softly as we go to the voiceover which suggests Covenant House saves little white "barely legals" like this from a fate worse than death. The ad would melt the heart of a Scrooge, which is the intention of course.

If that one doesn't get to you, perhaps you'll be persuaded by this snippet scraped from the Covenant House Toronto website.

Even Ayn Rand couldn't refuse to help a sweet little girl like that "find a path forward", dontcha think? Sadly, young women like her are in the minority [the visible minority? Ed.] of Covenant House's "clients". The majority, in Toronto at least, include:

* "international students", getting into Canada by the back door -- a student visa to study at the likes of the Singh School of Truck Driving,

* drug addicts who won't get treatment, seeking only need a place to crash, and

* bogus refugees, asylum-seekers and other illegal immigrants (read: benefits shoppers) avoiding deportation, not that deportation is just as much a threat in Canada as it is in the US of A.

Jasmine Ramze Rezaee, the Director of Advocacy & Communications for YWCA Toronto, which undertakes similar work, told an interviewer that for those who are new to Canada, students included, housing challenges can sometimes be magnified. "I do think that refugees and people with precarious immigration status and even folks who have not yet obtained their refugee status, deal with a lot of compounding challenges and vulnerabilities because they can't oftentimes access even the minimum level of support that our society provides. And it's not uncommon for them to end up in the shelter system."

For a more accurate picture of the kind of marginalized yoofs the charity protects from the realities of life, check out "Rising above hate to build a better life", on their website. I suppose that it would be churlish to suggest that poor Nathaniel would have been better of had he stayed in his own country and straightened out his personal life. But don't let them guilt you into feeling like an ogre for suggesting that "how he is" is his own choice, and it's somehow our duty to shield him from the consequences.

On its website and in its literature, Covenant House Toronto says "We are part of an international network. Covenant House is an internationally recognized child care agency with 'houses' in 34 cities in Canada (Toronto and Vancouver), the U.S. and Latin America."

For some reason, Covenant House downplays the fact that it is, in theory at least, a Catholic charity. The mother organization was founded by Franciscan Father Bruce Ritter to provide shelters for homeless teenagers. Father Ritter was forced to resign a few years ago over accusations of financial and sexual misdeeds. (Source: Toronto Star, 3/3/16) I beg your forgiveness for wondering in the, errr, misdeeds involved Lolitas like the one in the TV ad.

Well, no matter. Covenent House Toronto has been a high-profile Catholic charity in Toronto for the past several years now. Although their "Impact Report 2023" (a model of wokeness and DEI) says they receive only 2% of their funding from Catholic Charities and the Archdiocese of Toronto's annual ShareLife appeal, the executive director of ShareLife Toronto, told an interviewer that $1 million a year comes from Toronto’s ShareLife, and $1.5 million dollars comes from Covenant House, New York. The balance of the over $3 million yearly budget is supplied from provincial and municipal funds.

Funny, then, that according to an article in The Interim, Covenant House Toronto -- "set up to help street kids rehabilitate themselves" -- hands out condoms and does abortion referrals! While condom distribution is a matter of public record and is sanctioned by the Archdiocese of Toronto, abortion referrals are made quietly and depend on which worker a girl seeks at the House. Both practices have been publicly justified by several Canadian theologians on the grounds of "the lesser of two evils."

A director of ShareLife Toronto defended the practice of giving out condoms to high-risk street kids. He described many of them as homosexuals who were possibly AIDS carriers, and claimed this provided some measure of protection from them. He said the policy had been approved by the Catholic board of Covenant House after extensive consultations with moral theologians whom he would not name. 

I am not telling you not to respond to Covenant House's insistent appeals. I believe in "Judge not, that ye be not judged." Unlike the perpetrators of the Help Kids Canada scam, the people running Covenant House are trying to do something to help the marginalized and less fortunate. God knows their intentions and will surely forgive them if, in their zeal, they do or advocate things that are morally questionable. But that doesn't mean that it's racist or homophobic or uncharitable or un-Christian to disagree with what they're doing. To give or not to give, the choice is yours.
