VIDEO: "Making a Killing" - documentary on the residential schools hoax

If you watched Michael Matt's video on the Canadian Residential Schools Hoax, posted here earlier today, you may have noticed an image of the title screen for the documentary, "Making a Killing", produced by the OneBC Caucus and released on December 2nd. Walt is pleased to be able to bring this to you today. 

The subtitle of the full-length film is "Reconciliation, Genocide, and Plunder in Canada". It exposes the massive scandal behind the taking of wealth, land, and power from the Canadian public to benefit indigenous tribes. 

It debunks the worst lie in Canadian history: the lie that 215 bodies were found at the Kamloops Residential School and that Canadians committed a mass murder against indigenous children.

"Making a Killing" is the first documentary film produced by an elected caucus. To find out about OneBC -- a British Columbia party on the right side of many issues (geddit?) -- click here to visit their home page. If you decide to join or support them, tell `em Walt sent ya!

VIDEO: Canuck residential schools hoax debunked

In the two years since the Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation's 2021 announcement about the location of 215 potential unmarked graves at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School in the Canadian province of British Columbia, a number of priests, pundits, and politicians have downplayed and questioned the validity of the findings. 

Some have declared the news of potential unmarked graves at many former residential school sites across Canada to be a 'huge lie". Others insist that the lamestream media, the Canadian government, and First Nations have conspired to created a hoax by misrepresenting the news of potential unmarked burials sites as a "mass grave" to shock and guilt Canadians into caring about Indigenous Peoples and the woke shibboleth of "reconciliation". 

Predictably, the usual suspects in the human rights and reparations industry scrambled to disprove the media conspiracy argument by finding some graves. Meanwhile they encouraged the anti-religious left to "burn it all down", resulting in almost 100 churches, mostly Catholic, being burned by arsonists who were never caught... not that any serius attempt was made so to do.

Well, guess what, folks? The "residential schools denialists", such as Candace Owens, Tom Flanagan and our old friend Michael Matt, were right! The vilification of the residential schools and the Catholic Church was all an enormous lie, all part of the conspiracy of the anti-Christian, One-Worlders to destroy the Church. And the wokesters in the New Church of Francis fell for it... hook, line and sinker. Indeed, some of the hierarchs are among the conspirators!

In this video, excerpted from "THE CATHOLIC FACTOR: Cristeros, Canadians, and Candace Owens", the latest from The Remnant Underground, Mr Matt gives the residential schools hoax as just one example of  the Neomasonic Revolution firing up the Christophobic mob, and what Christians should do to stand up to it!

Dare we hope that Leo XIV will reverse the "woke revolution"?

Today we're pleased to present a mash-up [How about "Editor's cut"? Ed.] of a recent "Underground" vlog from Remnant TV, featuring our traditional Catholic friend, Michael J. Matt, editor of The Remnant newspaper. If, after you've watched the clips, you want to see the whole thing (run time 41:12), just click on the link.

The video is Mr Matt's response to the election of Pope Leo XIV. Is he a "traditionalist"? (asks Mr Matt) No, he’s not. Will he denounce the revolution of Vatican II? Likely not. So, what hope is there for a reversal -- or at least a halt -- to Francis' attempt to remake Holy Mother Church to conform to the Age of Woke?

Mr Matt lets us hear from a conservative (and non-Catholic) voice, that of Thomas Sowell, an American economist, economic historian, social philosopher, and political commentator. Listen carefully to his concise and precise analysis of what's wrong with the "Church of Francis".

Ed. regrets to advise that Michael Matt has learned that the clip supposedly featuring the voice of Thomas Sowell was a fake -- generated by AI. Mr Matt has deleted it from his video (the one linked above), and Walt has also deleted it from his Rumble account. AI is turning out to be a very dangerous thing. We'll be more careful about reposting videos, and trust that you, dear readers, will keep a healthy sense of skepticism... yes, even about what you see on WWW.

 

In his video, Mr Matt concludes that, yes, there is a glimmer of hope. No counter-revolution in sight yet, but some of the first signs of change portend a change "back to the future". Let us continue to resist.

 As the New York Times article cited by Mr Matt shows, we are starting to win!

One more thing... Mr Matt got a good chuckle out of this item from Saturday Night Live.

Indeed. Catholicism is not like a cafeteria. You can't pick and choose which things you want to be believe and which items of faith or its practice you want to pass over. You have to accept all of the Faith... or none of it. As Saint Ignatius of Loyola said, "What seems to me white, I will believe black if the hierarchical Church so defines."

VIDEO: Michael Matt: Canuck residential schools hoax exposed

In the Great No-longer-white North, the latest sin against political correctness and the progressive agenda is residential school denialism. "Wozzat?" (I hear you ask.) According to the Royal Society of Canada -- a club for the intelligentsia (read: liberal elites) -- it's "a strategy used to manipulate and undermine the realities of Indigenous Peoples' painful experiences under Canadian colonialism to protect the status quo."

Is that woke, or what? But wait, there's more. In the very next sentence, university professors (of course) Daniel Heath Justice [sic] and Sean Carleton go on to say: "An honest accounting of the past makes possible an honourable future — but only if Canadians have the courage to face it."

In the two years since then, the whole residential schools "genocide" hoax has come crashing down, as investigation of the supposed "mass graves" has found not one body... not one set of remains... no evidence to substantiate the claims of the anti-Catholic secular humanists who dominate the Canadian polity. 

Check out this video, featuring Michael Matt, editor of The Remnant newspaper, with clips from an interview with Dr Jordan Peterson.

Click here to see "We're ready for your apology", the complete episode posted yesterday to Remnant TV. And please remember, the liberal agenda is not just anti-Catholic. It's anti-Christian! As Mr Matt says at the end of the clip we've selected, the only was to fight back against the Great Reset is to not comply! Hold the line!

Jussie Smollett charged with felony disorderly conduct for attack hoax

First the facts. Chicago police today charged Empire actor Jussie Smollett -- a proudly homosexual black man -- with felony disorderly conduct for allegedly filing a false police report when he reported that he was attacked by two masked men. A spokesthingy for the Cook County State Attorney's office approved the felony charge this afternoon. The charge is a Class 4 felony which carries a possible prison sentence of one to three years.

Mr Smollett told the police and the media -- especially the meejua! -- he was attacked by two masked men early on the morning of January 29th while he was walking home from a Subway sandwich shop downtown. His story -- and he stuck to it -- was that the men beat him, made racist and homophobic comments and yelled "This is MAGA country!" before looping a rope around his neck and fleeing.

Chicago's finest spent hours going through private and public surveillance video from the area where the actor said he was attacked, but couldn't find footage of the alleged assault. They did, however, find and publish images of two large black men they said they wanted to question. Two Nigerians answering the description were picked up last week at ORD as they returned from their homeland. (Their immigration status in the USA is unclear.) They were held for 48 hours, questioned, and then released last Friday.

Now Walt's comment.

Sounds to me like yet another case of TDS: Trump Derangement Syndrome. But is that a defence? Stay tuned!

Who pulled Cesar Sayoc's strings?

A churlish reader has suggested that the arrest of Cesar Sayoc, a self-identified Republican now facing five federal charges in connection with more than a dozen -- I've lost count -- intercepted suspicious packages, disproves my theory that the "pipe bomb" affair is a hoax concocted for to give the Democrats a much-needed boost in the run-up to the mid-term elections. See "More on the moronic pipe bombs", WWW 25/10/18.

I call BS on those calling BS on my theory! If anything, what we've learned in the last 24 hours about Mr Sayoc reinforces my skepticism.

Mr Sayoc was born in New York. Eventually he drifted to Florida, which (along with California) is a magnet for America's loners, losers and nutbars. [Didn't you live there at one time? Ed.] Court records show that his conviction in the 1990s in Broward County on charges of grand theft and stolen property. In 2004, he was convicted on a felony charge of fraud and a misdemeanour of tampering with physical evidence.

In between, he was sentenced in Dade County in August 2002 for threatening to "throw, place, project or discharge any destructive device" during a conversation with a representative of a Florida utility. He served a year's probation after a judge signed a discharge certificate in November 2002. In 2015, he reported to police that his van was broken into outside of a gym in Oakland Park FL. He claimed that more than $40,000 worth of items were stolen, including $7150 worth of Donald Trump-brand suits.

Cesar Sayoc is a registered Republican. He has worked, off and on, as a stripper, promoter of "entertainment events" and, most recently, a pizza delivery man. Event promoter Tony Valentine said he hired Mr Sayoc in the 90s to strip on multiple occasions in Ohio, and that he (Sayoc) travelled the country for similar appearances. "He really couldn't find his niche in life, and I guess he found it now," Mr Valentine told the Washington Examiner. "Back in the 90s, he was running around from Minnesota to the Carolinas to Florida. He was like a gypsy."

His cousin, Lenny Altieri, was less charitable in his characterization. "He has been a loner," Mr Altieri told AP. "I know the guy is a lunatic."

We pause now for a brief lesson from the pages of history. For those who didn't catch my reference to the Reichstag Fire (in "Who's behind the pipe bombs?", WWW 24/10/18), the fire that destroyed the German parliament building in Berlin on 27 February 1933, was blamed by Hitler's government on Martinus van der Lubbe, a Dutch communist. The "intellectually challenged" Dutchman was found near the building and attributed the fire to communist agitators in general, although he claimed he acted alone.

Historians disagree as to whether Mr van der Lubbe acted alone, as he said, to protest the condition of the German working class. The Nazis accused the Comintern of the act. The Communists claimed that the arson was planned and ordered by the Nazis as a false flag operation. The court which tried Mr van der Lubbe ruled that indeed he acted alone. No-one else was involved. Of course.

Now back to my theory... Suppose you were a strategist for the Democratic Party, faced with the task of preventing the Trump Republicans from prevailing in next month's mid-term elections. You've got the lamestream media and (((Barbra Streisand))) and all of Hollywood on your side, and plenty of money to spend, thanks to (((George Soros))). But the migrant caravan approaching the southern border has heightened Americans' fears of the impending invasion, which the Democrats seem inclined to encourage rather than stop. What do you do?

What is needed (you say to yourself) is some kind of physical attack on the leaders of our party. Not an actual assassination of course, and nothing so lame as a burglary at Democratic headquarters. How about something dangerous sent through the mail? Poison, perhaps... or how about a bomb?! Great idea!! But who (you are still talking to yourself) could we get to build a bomb (or twelve bombs) and put them in the mail? Hey, how about someone who lives (yes, lives!) in a van like this?

We return now to Cesar Sayoc's conviction in 2002. Ron Lowy, the attorney who represented Mr Sayoc in the past and now represents his family, told the Clinton News Network's Anderson Cooper that he recalls someone with a "lesser IQ" and "substantial" emotional problems. Lowy said Sayoc has refused medical help for years, despite urging from his family. "He's become indignant, angry, someone who doesn't want to look at his problems."

Mr Lowy said that his former client "never seemed sophisticated enough" to put together a complicated mail bomb scheme and he wouldn't be surprised if Sayoc had someone who "helped prod or encourage him to do this."

But who? Here are a few innocent questions:
* From whom would Mr Sayoc have obtained the addresses -- home addresses -- of people like (((George Soros))) and the Prez? You can't just search the phone book to find them.
* How long would it have taken a semi-skilled person like Mr Sayoc to build not one, not two, but 12 or 14 (and counting) "bombs", and package them together with sachets of milk powder (or whatever it was) and pack them neatly in padded envelopes? A one-man job? Don't think so!
* Did Mr Sayoc actually take not one, not two, but 12 or 14 (and counting) packages to the post office, buy enough stamps to put six on each one and then hand them over the counter without anyone asking him what he was mailing?
* Suspending disbelief, if that's what happened at the post office, how come there are no postmarks on any of the packages... at least not the ones of which photos have been published?
* How did "the authorities" know where and when to look to intercept the suspicious packages before they could be delivered?
[That's enough innocent questions! Ed.]

OK, OK! But you get my point. IMHO, the whole thing reeks of publicity stunt, engineered to get Democrats out to vote in sympathy and anger! I am waiting with bated breath to hear what Mr Sayoc has to say about whether or not he acted alone. Let's just hope that he is brought to trial quickly. Wouldn't want any evil to befall him before he has a chance to speak. Of course that would never happen in America. Oh... Wait... Lee Harvey Oswald... ... ...

More on the moronic pipe bombs

Apparently Walt is not the only one who thinks the allegedly explosive devices supposedly sent to ten leading anti-Trumpers may well be parts of a gigantic hoax. See "Who's behind the pipe bombs?", WWW 24/10/18 and "UPDATE on the pipe bombs hoax (???)", WWW 25/10/18.

Got this a few minutes ago from Blazing Cat Fur, a blog I recommend highly. What burns my ring is that there's no time, between now and the mid-terms, to prove that this is a colossal fraud (or not) and name and shame those responsible for it. As I wrote earlier this morning, the perps' timing is impeccable!

Further reading: "The Pipe-Bombs Story: Another Example of Why No One Trusts the Media", by Andrew J. McCarthy on the National Review website, 24/10/18. Keep in mind that NR is the last refuge of the Never Trumpers in the Republican Party. Even they have their doubts.

Chinese-Canadians protest hijab hoax

For Canadians, today is National Hug-a-Muslim Day. Canuck snowflakes, liberals and SJWs are busy in Québec City and elsewhere in the Great No-longer-white North, kicking off "Islamic Heritage Month" (seriously) by commemorating the first anniversary of an attack on a Québec City mosque that left six dead and several others injured. See "What REALLY happened at Québec City???", WWW 5/2/17 (includes VIDEO with Gavin McInnes).

Unfortunately for the Canadian Islamists (read: the National Council of Canadian Muslims) and Islamophiles, their "day of action" to "memorialize Islamophobia" -- see "Canadian Islamophiles plan National Hug-a-Muslim Day", WWW 18/1/18 -- has had a shadow cast over it by rallies in Montréal and elsewhere at which hundreds of Chinese-Canadians protested last month's "hijab hoax", in which a Muslim girl slandered their community by falsely claiming that an "Asian" (read: Chinese) man cut her hijab as she walked to school. See 'Anti-Muslim hate crime' hoax embarrasses Canuck Liberals", WWW 15/1/18.

In a presser organized by (((Shari Schwartz-Maltz))), media officer of the loony left Toronto District School Board, Khawlah Noman, an 11-year-old sixth-grader, accused "an Asian man" of pulling off her jacket hood and cutting the bottom of her hijab. The girl's emotional pain and suffering -- "I'm just a kid!" -- made headlines around the world, with politicians and public figures furiously signalling their virtue and their support for diversity in general and Muslims in particular. "My heart goes out to Khawlah Noman following this morning's cowardly attack on her in Toronto," tweeted Prime Minister Trudeau II. "Canada is an open and welcoming country, and incidents like this cannot be tolerated."

Miss Noman's claim was later rubbished by Toronto, who announced on January 15th that an extensive investigation had been conducted, as a result of which they had concluded that "it did not happen." Period. No explanation, and no apology at the time, although the girl's family later issued a rather mild apology to "all Canadians". The TDSB and Ms (((Schwartz-Maltz))), the Prime Minister and the lesbian Premier of Ontario merely said they were "relieved it didn't happen."

No-one was ever charged with, say, public mischief or filing a false report, let alone inciting hatred against "Asians" (read: Chinese). Jenny Wong, a Chinese-Canadian living in Montréal, told People's Daily Online, "The nature of this incident is vile. It is definitely a humiliation to Asian community, which has always been picked on. Even an 11-year-old knows that we are easy targets. This is unacceptable,” Jenny Wong, a 25-year-old Chinese Canadian living in Montreal, told People’s Daily Online on January 24th. "My friends and I will join a rally initiated by the local Chinese community in Montreal this Saturday, demanding an apology from the girl, the Canadian government, as well as a voice for the Asian community."

Two protest rallies were held in Toronto and Calgary earlier last week. Jenny Liu, a Chinese student at the University of Toronto, said "The Asian community in Canada doesn't have political muscle and is discriminated against or victimized. Canadian authorities and media outlets did not even carry out a thorough investigation before supporting the liar. Our rally slogan is focused on that lie: 'Hoax Today, Horror Tomorrow.' We feel hurt, and we demand that our voice is heard."

Canada's loony left, pro-Muslim "public" school board

There are two publicly-funded education systems in the province of Ontario, Canada. (Well OK, there are four, if you count the French-language counterparts to the two main systems, which are anglophone -- English-speaking.) There are Catholic schools, which are not quite what the name implies, since, being taxpayer-funded, they are required to admit all comers, Catholic or not. And there are "public" schools, which are supposed to be non-religious, but in practice push the new, politically correct religion of secular humanism.

The biggest public school board in Ontario -- in Canada, in fact -- is the Toronto District School Board, which is responsible for Pauline Johnson Junior Public School, in Scarberia, the northeastern ghetto of the Great and Diverse City of Toronto (John Tory, Prop.) That the school is this month celebrating "Tamil Heritage Month" tells you something about the character of the community, and the politics of the TDSB.

Pauline Johnson School is attended by students from literally dozens of different ethnic backgrounds. The majority are not "old stock Canadians", to borrow the appellation of former Prime Minister Steven Harpoon. There is not only a great mixing of races, but a great mixing of religions -- the diversity which Mayor Tory, Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne and Prime Minister Justin "Mr Socks" Trudeau keep telling people makes Canada Strong. (Agent 3 says diversity certainly makes Toronto what it is. Whatever can he mean?) There are a few Christians, some Buddhists, some Hindus, some Sikhs and, inevitably, some Muslims.

One of the Muslim students is Khawlah Noman, who for the rest of her life is likely to be known as the "hijab hoax girl", following the unravelling yesterday of her story about having been attacked by a man who pulled back the hood of her parka, so as to cut (with a scissors!) her hijab -- an Islamophobic, anti-Muslim hate crime if ever there was one! Except there wasn't one. It was all a product of Miss Noman's vivid imagination.

OK, so the kid made the whole thing up. Some kind of plea for help, perhaps. Let it go at that. But the Toronto District School Board did not let it go at that. Today, questions are being asked about why, less than four hours after the initial police report, the TDSB organized a presser -- "press availability" is what they call it nowadays -- to let the tearful 11-year-old face television cameras and throngs of reporters who broadcast her horrific (and unlikely) story to the world?

In the photo we see Miss Noman, her mother, and her 10-year-old brother, who supposedly witnessed the attack. The concerned and caring lady comforting the girl is (((Shari Schwartz-Maltz))), TDSB Manager for Media Relations and Issues Management, who (a source tells WWW) set up the exercise in virtue-signalling. Even if the attack had happened, the appearance would have been unusual, as victims of crime who are minors are traditionally not identified by police or the media, let alone put before cameras to recite a rehearsed narrative and weep on cue.

(((Ms Schwartz-Maltz))) is no stranger to the pages of WWW. She is referred to in "Muslim prayers in Toronto schools: a Muslim viewpoint", WWW 7/7/11, defending a decision of the TDSB to set aside prayer rooms in its schools so the little Muslim kids can say their Friday prayers, while being taught about Islam and the virtues of Islamic society. This was before ISIS, so rumours that ISIS recruiting literature was passed out were likely untrue. It would have been Al-Qaeda, not ISIS.

That the Toronto District School Board is friendly to the so-called Religion of Peace is an undertatement. But hey, that's nothing more than compliance with the policy of the Ontario government (K. Wynne, Prop.) See "Islamization of Ontario schools still part of government agenda", WWW 15/4/12.

But it's not just Muslims that the TDSB likes. They're great believers in affirmative action, human rights (for some humans, at least), social justice and BLM. In a show of politically correctness, surprising even for Ontario, the Board decided, back in 2009, to set up an "Africentric Alternative School" (read: segregated school). It opened in the northwest corner of Toronto "in an attempt to reduce dropout rates and improve an achievement gap among the city's black students. While the school is open to students of all backgrounds, many [note: "many", not "all"] of the teachers are black to serve as role models for students."

The Africentric School was to be a three-year experiment. (((Ms Schwartz-Maltz))) appears again in an article in the Toronto Red Star (from which the above quote was taken) to spin the 2012 report on the results -- three years after the report was published, kinda quietly. The report found that in 2012, only 43% of students who started at the AAS and had not reached graduate age were still enrolled, while 57% had transferred to another school.

The report also identified "differences" between the original idea of the school "and the existing frameworks the school operates within," as well as funding challenges that are a "limiting factor to the school's success." (((Ms Schwartz-Maltz))) called it "a work in progress". Walt has been unable to discover whether any further progress has been made in the 2+ years since, or, indeed, whether the Africentric School is still in existence.

Speaking of affirmative action... a name that has been conveniently forgotten by proponents of the TDSB's liberal agenda is that of Chris Spence, who was the Director of the Toronto District School Board at the time of the Africentric School experiment. Dr Spence, as he then was, should have been a role model extraordinaire for the city's black yoof, being head of the biggest school board in Canada and a credit his race, yada yada yada. Unfortunately, he was obliged to resign, at the end of 2012, over allegations that his Ph.D. thesis was rife with "unattributed passages", plagiarized (copied) from other sources. When last heard from, Mr Spence was fighting for compensation for "constructive dismissal". He has not complained to the Ontario Human Rights Commission about systemic racism.

Speaking of race and black yoof, the latest politically correct folly of the TDSB is the cancellation, last November, of the "School Resource Officer" programme run for it by the Toronto Police Service. The programme placed uniformed police officers in dozens of mainly minority-majority public schools across Toronto. While SRO is SOP in many inner city schools in the USA, it was a first for Canada when introduced in 2008, a year after Grade 9 student Jordan Manners, age 15, was shot and killed at C.W. Jefferys Collegiate, one of Toronto's blackest schools.

Ever since, the SRO programme has drawn sharp criticism from activist groups such as Black Lives Matter Toronto, which made very vocal demands to scrap it as one measure to address "anti-black racism" in the education system. The Board trustees voted 18-3 in favour of cancelling the programme, after a report by staff recommended eliminating the program because "it caused some students to feel uncomfortable and even intimidated." That was in November. Last week the neighbouring Peel District School Board received a report showing that students benefit from the SRO programme in its schools. Go figure.

Every now and then militant secular humanists and anti-Catholic bigots call for the end of public funding for Ontario's Roman Catholic schools. As long as policies like those of the Toronto District School Board -- we haven't even talked about the new pro-LGBT sex ed curriculum yet -- are causing parents by the 1000s to enroll their non-Catholic children in the Catholic system, Catholic schools are in no danger of being defunded. There should be a lesson there for the public school boards, but will they learn it? Two chances: slim and none.

"Anti-Muslim hate crime" hoax embarrasses Canuck Liberals

The Canadian (and even international) media were full of outrage and virtue-signalling over the weekend over a terrible, terrible hate crime reported to have occurred in Toronto on Friday. 11-year-old Khawlah Noman was walking to school with her 10-year-old brother, Mohammed Zakariyya, on Friday morning, when she felt somebody pull down the hood of her winter jacket down. She told police the attacker smiled at her and then attempted to cut her hijab, from the bottom up, using a pair of scissors with a blue handle. He did this not once, but twice, she said, over the course of some ten minutes.

Recounting the traumatic incident in great detail, she told reporters "I felt really scared and confused. I didn’t feel comfortable about what was going on." Miss Noman got a good look at the attacker, who she described as a young Asian male, roughly 5'8" to 6', wearing black pants, a black hoodie and brown gloves. He had a moustache, the girl told police, and glasses too.

When the girl screamed, the attacker ran away. She and her brother rushed to join a group of children walking nearby, but got separated at a traffic signal. The brother didn't make the light in time to cross safely, so his Miss Noman waited for him while the group moved on. Mohammed said he watched as his sister's attacker approached her a second time, scissors in hand. What happened next is unclear, but when the kids got to school, they discovered that the bottom of Khawlah's hijab had been cut.

Speaking to reporter's, Miss Noman's mother, Samia Samad, [How come they all have different surnames? Ed.] said the incident was deeply upsetting for the children. "I don’t know why he did that," the mother said. "It’s just not Canada. I'm frustrated and I'm angry, but I do believe in peace in Canada. I am so proud to be a Canadian, and I want to give [the attacker] the same message."

Miss Noman echoed the message. While holding back tears, she said, "What you’re doing is very wrong. You should stop doing this. I'm a kid."

The chattering classes (particularly the professionals in the diversity industry) were quick to boo-hoo to anyone who would listen, particularly the liberal "reporters" at the CBC and the Toronto Red Star. And Canada's Liberal politicians, knowing a good story to promote their pro-Muslim, pro-diversity agenda, were even quicker to express their shock and horror. The Liberal Prime Minister, the proudly lesbian ["Liberal", shurely! Ed.] Premier of Ontario, and the Mayor of Toronto (not a card-carrying Liberal but a liberal all the same) condemned the attack as a shameful example Islamophobia and racism. Here are their officious ["official", shurely! Ed.] statements.

Who could argue with those sentiments? No right-thinking -- make that "LEFT-thinking" -- Canadian, that's for sure. And even if someone thought the reaction was a bit over the top, or dared to doubt the veracity of Miss Noman's horror story, Canada's notorious M-103 would likely have silenced them. (CBC censors, please take note!) But guess what? Toronto Police said today they have concluded that the incident "did not happen."

There has been no suggestion that Miss Noman and/or her family will be punished in any way for wasting Inspector Knacker's time with a false report. No-one has apologized or even expressed embarrassment for the hair-on-fire coverage the hoax -- for that's what it was -- received in the (((controlled media))).

From the Pink Palace at Queen's Park, Premier Wynne said "I'd like to thank the Toronto Police Service for their work in this matter, and I join all Ontarians in being thankful and relieved that this assault did not take place." What she didn't add, but was understood to mean, was that, although it didn't happen, it could have happened, because, as everyone knows, old-stock Canadians are hard-wired to be haters.

Further reading: "Hijab hoax girl, family owe Canadians an apology", by Anthony Furey, in the Toronto Sun, 15/1/18. Conclusion: One sad outcome of this story is that decent, fair-minded Canadians whose hearts went out to this girl may look at the next such attack with suspicion. And that one could be real. The family, the police and the school board owe us an explanation. And Khawlah Noman and her family owe Canada an apology.

Hundreds of Zimbos* fall for joke employment offer

Assiduous readers will know that Walt spent some years, before the turn of the century, knocking around Zimbabwe (the Rhodesia that was), watching a state becoming a failed state, before my very eyes. Almost everyone I knew there has since departed the country, or departed this life entirely So, to keep up with the news from the Dark Continent, I rely on my old chum, Dr CZ, who writes the second part of "Cabinet Files" in the Financial Gazette, every Thursday. It is Dr CZ who calls his compatriots "Zimbos", *meaning "Zimbabweans", nothing more or less.

In last week's column, Dr CZ invited Zimbos interested in assisting him in carrying out a strategic survey that he was planning to undertake to contact him as a matter of urgency. Here is the notice which appeared at the end of the column.

"This is very urgent. Dr CZ is looking for six Zimbos out there who are willing to help him with some strategic research that he will be conducting in the next few days. It is a three-day contract. Over and above being provided with transport, accommodation and meals, the assistants — who should be holders of at least any tertiary qualification — will each be paid an allowance of US$800 per day. The contract days are from the 29 to 31 of this month. Anyone interested should urgently e-mail their name and contact number to the e-mail below. The offer is strictly on a first-come-first-served basis."

The column appeared on February 23rd, and readers will note that the contract on offer was to run "from the 29 to 31 of this month". The joke should have been obvious to anyone who learned "30 days hath September...", but it seems post-colonial Zimbabwean education does not include any reference to that little saying. This week, Dr CZ reports on the aftermath, as follows...

"Although Dr CZ had just asked for those interested to submit their names and contact numbers for the piece of work that was to take place between February 29 and 31, as late as at the time of going to print this March, desperate emails were still trickling into his mail-box… most of them accompanied with bulky CVs and several phone numbers and dozens of the applicants are holders of several post graduate degrees. It was one of Dr CZ’s many asinine pranks that many of his fans took seriously. What was intended to start and end as just harmless mischief has turned out to be a real survey. The results of the survey show what happens when people become hopelessly desperate.

"If the applicants were mere village yokels who could hardly tell their left from right, one would have assumed that none of them knew that the dates on which the survey was supposed to take place do not exist on this side of the rainbow yet, but these are very educated men and women whose basic commonsensical reasoning has since been evaporated by the dire personal situations they find themselves in.

"Most of these people could be fathers and mothers, whom entire clans look upon. Yet they cannot do anything about their situation. This explains why seemingly normal people end up doing things that people in normal situations would not think possible. This perpetuates the abnormality that this country is increasingly getting known to be. This is the sad reality of the situation that this country has deteriorated to… never mind what officialdom says."

Quite right. 37 years after the perfidious British sold out Ian Smith's "white settler regime" to the darker-complected Africans, Zimbabwe has become a basket case... with the bottom now on the verge of falling out of the basket. With every passing day, Zimbabwe gets worse and worse. The Dark Continent gets ever darker.

PC madness in Bloomington IN

Here's another one for our "You couldn't make this stuff up" file. The Bloomington (IN) Herald-Times reports that there will be no more Good Friday and Columbus Day holidays in Bloomington, Indiana. Really. The holy day and holiday in question will henceforth be known as "Spring Holiday" and "Fall Holiday".

Why? Because the new super-politically correct names will help make the holidays more inclusive, according to Bloomington Mayor John Hamilton. (Mayor Hamilton is unrelated to Alexander Hamilton, the subject of the eponymous Broadway musical, which also happens to be very PC.) Mayor Hamilton sent a memo to city employees this week in which he explained that the centuries-old names imply cultural insensitivity. The new names will avoid even the remotest possibility of giving offence to anyone except Christians and Italian-Americans.

In his memo, Mayor Hamilton raised to new heights the bar for "celebrating diversity" ["pandering", surely. Ed.]. "We are terrifically proud of our diverse workforce at the city," Hizzoner wrote. "That diversity makes us stronger and more representative of the public we proudly serve. These updated names for two days of well-merited time off is another way we can demonstrate our commitment to inclusivity."

Mr Hamilton's unilateral decision to rename the days will be no surprise to residents of Bloomington. Thanks to the presence in the city of that great seat of liberal learning, Indiana University, Bloomington and surrounding Monroe County are overwhelmingly populated by guilt-ridden white liberals. The county gave Hellery Clinton 58.6% the vote on November 8th, preferring her to President-elect Trump [Walt loves that phrase! Ed.] by nearly 14,000 votes.

Book recommendation: Guilt, by Ann Coulter (Three Rivers Press, 2009). Amongst other things, you can read about all the confused white gliberals who "self-identified" as "oppressed minorities" and all the "hate crimes" that turned out to be hoaxes perpetrated by SJWs.
